Chapter 0044 Is Not Hongmen Banquet

(ps: Today I decided to try my best to rush to the three updates. One update in the morning, one update in the afternoon, and one update in the evening. I only ask for members’ clicks and recommendation tickets in the hands of brothers. The recommendation votes are a bit tragic now. The click-to-recommend ratio has slipped to 4o: 1 or even a wider disparity.

In the castle of the Daxi family, a secret report had already been sent to the patriarch Da Xiheng.

"Master Patriarch, I have reliable news that Ximen Qian, the first son of the Ximen Clan, has arrived today and is staying in the wealthy Xu's Manor. The purpose of his visit is unknown."

Da Xiheng has always been steady, and has always been known for "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his color". Hearing this news, although he was surprised in his heart, he calmly nodded: "Okay, let's explore again."

After the spies left, Da Xiheng ordered: "Tell Ming'er and Yang'er to find me in the garden."

Da Ximing and Da Xiyang are brothers of the same father and mother, and they are also the only two sons under the patriarch Da Xiheng's knees. The eldest son, Da Ximing, is 27 years old, with a free and easy personality, unrestrained; the second son, Da Xiyang, has a calm personality, showing his emotions and anger. Although he is only 16 years old, he is quite like a father.

Between the two sons, there is a daughter named Da Xiyue, who is just in her twenties, her birthday is coming soon, and a birthday banquet will be held in the family castle.

The two brothers were notified, and immediately walked towards the garden.

When he came to the entrance of the garden, he saw the figure of his father Da Xiheng shuttled back and forth, his palms hesitating like a dragon dancing wildly, implying the wind and thunder, he was practicing a family martial art.

This martial art is the secret of the Daxi family, it is called "Feng Lei Jue", it has the power to swallow mountains and rivers, and it is very domineering.

In the hands of Da Xiheng, it is even more powerful. Wherever the palm wind goes, the grass is destroyed, the trunk is bent, the fallen leaves are colorful, and the petals are flying.

After finishing a set of martial arts, Da Xiheng calmed down and stood still, with his hands behind his back, without turning his head, he said calmly: "Ming'er, Yang'er. Tell me, what have you learned after watching it for so long?"

Da Ximing is the eldest son, so he should answer first.

"Boy, look at my father's martial arts skills, they are extremely fierce, with the potential to swallow mountains and rivers with anger, and sweep away wind and thunder with fists. If it is not for father's cultivation of the seventh stage of true martial arts, it is impossible to have such a look."

What he said was a pure martial art answer, Da Xiheng nodded lightly, and said: "Well, Ming'er, you are passionate about martial arts, and it is reasonable to have this understanding. But you have to know that human power is limited but the invisible power of heaven and earth is infinite. Knowing how to use the power of heaven and earth is the pinnacle of martial arts. What about Yang'er?"

Da Xiyang's personality is much more stable than his elder brother's, and he has more time to think, but what he considers is angles other than martial arts.

"The child sees the power of his father's punches, like the roaring waves and raging waves. All the flowers and trees around his father were destroyed, but the few seemingly weak willows in the corner of the courtyard were not damaged at all. Compared with the big trees that were broken by strong winds, these thin willows drifted with the waves.

This answer was more in line with Da Xiheng's heart than his brother's answer. He laughed, nodded and said: "A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but this seemingly delicate willow can follow the wind and stand upright. Even a few willows are like this. If a family wants to stand upright, how can they not follow the general trend?"

"General situation?" Da Ximing silently said the word in his heart, and suddenly understood the implication of his father. Could it be that this time my marriage contract is the so-called general trend?

Da Ximing is also a smart person, he knows that his father is implying that he should follow the general trend and stop entangled with Qin Xiu, but when he thinks of this, his heart feels like a knife, and he is reluctant to give up.

Knowing a son is like a father, and Da Xiheng knows that the eldest son is a man of temperament, and the character he has cultivated since childhood is not easy to change. Therefore, he never ordered Da Ximing to submit quietly. Seeing that he was silent at this time, he just said indifferently: "The spies have reported that Ximen Qian, the first successor of the Ximen family, the first person of the young generation in Nanyun Prefecture, and one of the Four Talents of Chimu, has come to Luojiang County with his subordinates and stayed at the wealthy Xu family's mansion."

Da Xiheng's anger was no less than anyone's in the matter of the forced marriage by Ximen clan. Naturally, he also understood Da Ximing's pain and depression.

But for the Daxi family, every move of the Ximen lord is a general trend. With the trend of the times, the Daxi family is unable to go against the current, so they can only follow the trend.

"Simon Qian?"

On Da Ximing's handsome face, there was a trace of angry red light, and his mind was buzzing like a thunderclap. It was a name that made it hard for him to let go.

Ximen Qian, one of the Four Talents of Akagi, was a young hero who offered advice to the King of Akagi to defeat 100,000 northern barbarians. The first person of the young generation of the Ximen Great Clan, the default heir of the Ximen Great Clan, all kinds of halos shrouded his head, and he was even received by His Majesty the Emperor.

Compared with Da Ximing, one of the so-called "Seven Princes of Luojiang", all the achievements of the seemingly young and promising Da Ximing immediately seemed worthless.

Whenever Da Ximing thought of how he was young and vigorous when he competed with Ximen Qian on the birthday of King Chimu, and failed in one move, waves of unyielding and resentment surged in his heart. This knot has always been the biggest obstacle for Da Ximing to move towards a higher realm of martial arts.

But what is more deadly to Da Ximing is Ximen Qian's other identity - the brother of Ximen Yan's mother! You know, the first time Ximen Qian killed someone was for his younger sister, which shows how close their brother and sister are.

Facing Ximen Qian, Da Ximing felt a sense of frustration for the first time in his life.

"It's Ximen Qian." Da Xiheng repeated with certainty.

"Father." Da Ximing suddenly raised his head, "You told me this, what do you want me to do?"

"As long as your surname is Daxi, you will put the interests of the Daxi family first."

"The invitation to the humble Qin family should also be cancelled?" Da Ximing asked in a deep voice.

"No, keep the original plan."

Hearing his father's order, Da Ximing's heart was in suspense, and then he fell back to the original place. If his father said the word "cancel", Da Ximing would immediately implement his "fake death" plan without hesitation.

The general trend is that he is alone and unable to resist, so he can only use this method to escape marriage in a curve.

...

Da Xiyue's Double Tenth birthday really made Luojiang County much more lively than usual. There were a lot of unfamiliar faces coming from south to north, and all of these people were well-dressed, and they obviously came here from other places to attend Da Xiyue's birthday party.

According to Qin Wushuang, there was no such thing as a good banquet, and he didn't want to attend it at all. But he couldn't stand his elder sister's eagerness, and besides, he himself wanted to see what it meant to be an aristocratic family.

The three father and son left the inn not long after noon, and arrived at the door of the Daxi family's private castle located in the core area of ​​Luojiang County within a short time.

After handing over the invitation, the three easily walked through the gate. A servant led the three of them towards the inside of the castle. After walking a few steps, Qin Xiu's sharp eyes saw Da Ximing coming from the opposite side.

"Patriarch Qin, Miss Qin and Brother Wushuang, you are here."

Qin Wushuang smiled secretly, thinking in front of his father, it was inconvenient for Da Ximing to call him "Sister Sister" after all. Immediately smiled and said: "Brother Daxi, are you busy enough today?"

"It's not very busy. Someone in the family is responsible for arranging everything. We are responsible for greeting the guests, three, and I will take you in."

Da Ximing was personable and led the way, leading the three of them towards the core of the castle.

Passing through the front yard, you can see a small open square. A large number of people have gathered in the square, and 70% to 80% of the guests who should arrive have already arrived.

A group of guests were very curious when they saw that Da Ximing personally attracted three guests. Who on earth is the master who wants the eldest son of the Daxi family to greet him in person?

Half of these guests were aristocrats from Luojiang County; the other half were some aristocratic forces who came from all over the world and intersected with the Daxi family.

Among them, the lowest level of invited guests is also a famous family, many of them are rich and powerful, and several of them are from other places and belong to the same family.

These forces are very self-conscious, each has its own small circle, gathers together in twos and threes, with distinct levels, and there is no mistake.

The banquet hadn't started yet, and these noble children were extremely poor and bored. Seeing Da Ximing personally bring the three of them in, they all paid attention. There is a clear distinction between the clothing of the nobles. Therefore, these people almost suspect that their eyes are hallucinating.

The three guests who were greeted by Da Ximing in person were all dressed in humble clothes!

The nobles who didn't know where they were, suddenly murmured in their hearts, what kind of play is this Daxi family singing?
