Chapter 1: The heroes gather together [Part 2]

In the evening of that day, the heavy snow stopped quietly, but the clouds in the sky did not dissipate, so the sky darkened early. However, due to the reflection of the snow, it became dark, but it was not thorough enough, and people's faces could still be seen within five meters.

In front of the city lord's mansion, there were traffic, carriages were parked on both sides of the street, and nobles entered the city lord's mansion...

"General of Lingzhou, Xu Cheng, General Xu is here!"

"President of Li Zhouyuantong Chamber of Commerce, Song Jiusheng, and Xu are here!"

"Hezhou Luoshui Gang leader, Mu Xin, Mu Gang leader is here!"

...

Every time someone enters in front of the city lord's mansion, there is a shout at the door. Every time a shout is aroused by many people, because these people are all chief officials or powerful, and are the real rulers in the entire Ming Dynasty!

As guests arrived, the main hall of the city lord's mansion became lively. Zhang Jiao took his second son Zhang Cheng back and forth among the guests, greeting and chatting to each guest. He took the initiative to speak to others as a warrior of the Grandmaster Zhang Jiao. Of course, the other party responded happily, while Zhang Jiao took the opportunity to introduce Zhang Cheng to the guests to help Zhang Cheng develop interpersonal relationships.

Zhang Yuan, Zhang Chong and Zhang Xu hid in the corner, talking while eating wine and food...

"That one over there seems to be General Wu Ying from our Fengzhou." Zhang Chong pointed in a direction and said.

"Double understanding?" Zhang Xu asked.

"I don't know each other, but my father knows me. I have an old acquaintance with me. I have a good relationship. I have a visit during festivals and festivals..." Zhang Chong said.

Zhang Chong wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by a shout outside the door...

"The Grand Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jiukang, and Lao Zhu are here!"

In an instant! The whole lobby became quiet, silent, and everyone's eyes looked at the door of the main hall. No one expected that the old Marshal Zhu Jiukang would come in person. What was even more shocked was that everyone's intelligence website showed that Zhu Jiukang was recuperating in Kangzhou, but why did he suddenly come to Tizhou and blatantly come to the traitor's mansion!

However, three more shouts followed...

"Zhenhai Dao Temple, the Great Elder, Fufeng Dao has arrived!"

"Kunwu Sect, the master of the sect, Taoist Guiyu has arrived!"

"The Heavenly Sword Sect, the Great Elder, Senior Gu Xing is here!"

Hula! Hula!

There were some people sitting there, but now everyone in the main hall has stood up!

Zhenhai Dao Temple and Kunwu Sect, a sect that has been strong for five hundred years, are well-deserved leaders of the righteous path, and are the giants in the martial arts world. Every few decades, one or two master figures appear, ensuring the prosperity of Zhenhai Dao Temple and Kunwu Sect.

In recent decades, Zhenhai Taoist Temple has been a master warrior Fufeng Taoist who has shocked the little ones, and no one dares to caress his tiger beard.

There have been no masters in Kunwu Sect in recent decades, but no one dares to underestimate Kunwu Sect, and instead they are becoming more and more taboo!

Because many martial arts people are rumoring that Kunwu Sect is changing its practice skills, from the lower dantian technique to fellow practitioners of the lower dantian and middle dantian in order to achieve the goal of immortality, the older generation of Kunwu Sect not only did not die, but instead hid in the sect and lived in seclusion. This has led to a sharp increase in the number of innate peak masters in Kunwu Sect, and they are all innate peak masters with deep skills and combat experience, which is only one step away from the grand master warriors.

The Tianjian Sect is not an ancient sect, but it has a history of hundreds of years. What's more, the contemporary Tianjian Sect's great elder, Gu Xing, is a master warrior, so the Tianjian Sect has developed very rapidly in the past decade and has faintly entered the ranks of giants.

At this moment, Zhu Jiukang, Taoist Fufeng, Taoist Guiyu and the Old Man Guxing, four of them arrived together. Among them, Zhu Jiukang, Taoist Fufeng and the Old Man Guxing are masters of the master. No one knows Guiyu's cultivation level, but I think it is not much worse than the Grandmaster. Such four people came together, which is really like the storm waves! Shocking!

"Hahaha... Four distinguished guests are here, Zhang is in a hurry to welcome him, forgive me, forgive me." Zhang Jiao laughed loudly.

After Zhang Jiao's voice sounded, everyone in the main hall immediately woke up from the shock, looked at each other for a few times, and they all retreated, automatically giving up the center of the main hall. Everyone sitting there was a human spirit. Now it was a conversation between giants. They could not interrupt or get too close, otherwise they would have no place to talk about it if they were "inadvertently injured".

"Hahaha...Boy Zhang, since he knows the crime, he won't slap!" Zhu Jiukang arrived before he arrived, and his tone seemed to be joking, but the semantics meant ironic.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Jiao laughed a few times again. At this time, Zhu Jiukang and the other three had already walked to the door of the main hall. Zhang Jiao clasped his fists and said, "Old handsome, I want Zhang to slap his mouth easily. As long as you announce your seclusion and retirement, Zhang will slap himself a hundred times in the face!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Jiukang snorted coldly and said, "I will let me retreat after a hundred slaps. Am I so lowly?"

"Oh? The old coach thinks that Zhang's bid is low? Then..." Zhang Jiao paused, glanced around, and then said with a smile on his face: "In addition, how about Zhang himself? As long as the old coach retires, Zhang will retire too! How about it!?"

"What? How is it possible!? Just kidding! You're crazy!" At this moment, the surrounding people were shocked, and acquaintances started to discuss with each other, but the discussion was very short. Everyone consciously closed their mouths again, and their eyes were all on Zhu Jiukang.

Zhu Jiukang looked at Zhang Jiao in surprise, not knowing what Zhang Jiao meant, but he dared to say such amazing words. If Zhu Jiukang really agreed, Zhu Jiukang and Zhang Jiao retreated at the same time, both sides would be equal to both sides. The fragile court immediately collapsed, and the Tizhou Anmin Army lost Zhang Jiao, and immediately became a second-rate or third-rate force. At this moment, Zhu Jiukang felt that Zhang Jiao was completely a madman!

"What a wonderful thing! What a wonderful thing! Old Man Zhu, why don't you retire? Cultivate yourself and cultivate your character and maybe you can live for thirty or fifty years more, hahaha..." An old man in a civilian behind Zhu Jiukang said with a smile.

The old man was wearing a cloth dress, like a civilian, and it was fine to wear cloth dress, but the cloth dress was very thin, completely summer clothes, and had no effect on keeping cold at all. However, the old man's face was rosy and had a slight cold feeling.

The person with extensive knowledge immediately recognized that this person was the old man Gu Xing, the great elder of the Tianjian Sect and the master-level warrior.

When everyone heard the words of the old man Lone Star, they were all shocked. They had their own guesses and felt that the storm was about to come.

"Yiji, Yuji, Brother Zhu should retire." Another old Taoist priest behind Zhu Jiukang said with a smile.

This old Taoist priest is the Fufeng Taoist of Zhenhai Taoist Temple. He is wearing a wide Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, giving people a sense of being light and out of the world.

After hearing the words of Taoist Fufeng, everyone was stormy in their hearts and thought to themselves, was Zhang Jiao in contact with the old man Guxing and Taoist Fufeng, and wanted to join forces to force Zhu Jiukang to retire? Or was the old man Guxing and Taoist Fufeng taking advantage of the situation to rob?

In Zhu Jiukang, there was also a middle-aged man next to Taoist Fufeng and Guxing, who was the contemporary leader of the Kunwu Sect, Taoist Guiyu. Compared with the other three, he was a generation shorter. The three masters and seniors spoke, but he was not interrupted, and he simply pretended not to hear it, and even took a step back without a trace, as if I was a passerby.

"You bastards! I want me to retire and dream! I will always be on your heads. With me here, no one of you will think of being the best in the world! Just grab the second place! Hahaha..." Zhu Jiukang cursed with a smile.

"If you are old but not dead, you are a thief! You are immortal! It's so hateful!" Old Man Lone Star said with a laugh.

"Yiji, yell, damn old thief Zhu!" Taoist Fufeng smiled.

At this time, everyone understood that Zhu Jiukang, Gu Xing, Taoist Fufeng was very familiar with each other. Everything just now was a joke, and Zhu Jiukang happened to use this joke to resolve Zhang Jiao's words, making Zhang Jiao unable to use retirement as an excuse to fall into a situation of both sides' losses.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Jiao chuckled a few times, made a call, and said, "Four people, please come in."

Zhu Jiukang, Taoist Fufeng, Old Man Gu Xing and Taoist Guiyu were not polite, so they walked into the main hall together, and Zhang Jiao personally led to the seat at the head of the main hall. However, these four people were not invited, so there were no four-person seats. However, what the four people were, the person in the hall was not allowed to give in. Of course, they had to give up only one seat. So the four people sat down in the chief seat and the second seat on the left and right sides. The other guests automatically moved down two positions. At the same time, the servant added two tables at the end of the left and right seats.

At this moment, there was still half an hour before six o'clock, which was the auspicious time for the banquet to begin. However, Zhu Jiukang, Taoist Fufeng, the old man Guxing and Taoist Guiyu arrived, and the four noble people could not wait. So Zhang Jiao waved his hand to the servant. After the servant understood it, he took out the wooden hammer and gong...

When! When! When! When! When!

"Seat start!"

As the servants shouted, servants and maids walked into the main hall and placed the wine and food on the table in order. Some of the guests who were originally standing looked for seats to sit down. There were 120 formal guests, plus four uninvited guests, as well as the families and important subordinates brought by the chairman to some guests outside. The entire main hall accommodated more than 200 people!

However, even with so many people, the entire main hall is still not crowded. This main hall was originally the governing hall of the Prince of Tizhou, which is equivalent to the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace. However, the governing hall is at the level of a prince and the Golden Palace is at the level of an emperor, so the governing hall is much smaller than the Golden Palace, but even if it is small, it is easy to accommodate two or three hundred people.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zhang Jiao first raised his glass and stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone! Everyone here comes from all over the world. It is extremely rare to be able to gather together. Let's drink a cup together to celebrate our meeting and drinking together!"

"Drinke together!" The people present raised their glasses to respond.
