Because Qianye's sister was in high spirits, the three of them walked straight until nightfall.

As the capital of Dongzhou, the night is naturally lively. Although it is not as flashing neon lights as Victoria, there are basically street lights on the main street, and there are bright big lanterns in front of the shops on the side street.

All kinds of strange trinkets, as well as fine wine and food are all over the place.

At least on the surface, the Yingwu family's rule over Dongzhou is quite good, and of course, it is limited to Dongzhou Prefecture.

....

It has been a long time since Sister Qianye has not been so happy. With two "brothers" by her side, she seems to have regained the feeling she was when she was a child.

Since she became an adult, her two brothers rarely returned to their homes and basically stayed in the military camp all year round. Her best playmate, Sakura Wuyun, also ran for the family.

As a woman, she cannot go to the battlefield and it is difficult for her to serve the Yingwu family. She can only stay in her family and wait for marriage.

According to the current situation, her future engagement basically has only two directions.

First, the Yingwu family stabilized in Dongzhou, and the head of the father recruited "outsiders" with outstanding abilities and became son-in-law.

Second, the war between the Yingwu family and the Nishimiya family is tight, and the winner cannot be decided in a short period of time. If both sides want to resolve the conflict, the best way is to marry.

There are many precedents in this kind of thing. At that time, she will marry into the Xigong family and temporarily calm the conflict through the relationship between the "in-laws". Of course, it is only temporary.

....

Tonight's Dongzhou Prefecture is extremely lively because tomorrow will be the birthday party for the head of the family, and even the people will celebrate it together.

To welcome this moment, residents set off simple fireworks outside the city one night in advance.

"Bang!"

The simple fireworks exploded in the night sky, which was not spectacular in the eyes of the summer wind, and it was hard to call them beautiful.

But in Sakura Qianye's eyes, it seemed like the most beautiful moment in the world.

“So beautiful!”

The cold little hands unconsciously held the "brothers" on both sides. Under the reflection of fireworks, her eyebrows were full of expectations.

"Brother Yun, third brother, the Yingwu family will definitely calm down this dispute with the Xigong family and let Dongzhou return to peace and peace."

Ying Wuyun noticed Qianye's emotions and comforted her with a smile.

"That's sure. The Yingwu family has a solid foundation and many powerful generals. In addition to the hidden masters like the third brother who joins our family, this war will definitely be quelled."

"kindness."

Ying Wuyun's words made Qian Yetian feel relieved, but Xia Feng, who was standing on the other side, did not make any noise.

Because he knew that no matter what he said at this moment, it was a lie.

....

....

the next day.

Today is the birthday party of the head of the family, Yingwu Mountain Yuki, and the entire mansion has been busy since the early morning.

In the morning, invited people from all walks of life arrived at Dongzhou Prefecture one after another.

There are management companies in large cities around the country, such as Yingwuyun's father, and various business leaders, such as cloth merchants, drug dealers, salt merchants, etc. that are all in Shenyewan, Dongzhou, Xichuan, and Shichuan.

Those men with serious expressions and murderous auras were all generals who came to celebrate their birthdays from various battlefields, including famous generals who are well-known in the entire Eastern country.

....

All afternoon, Xia Feng stayed in his room honestly, turning a deaf ear to the noise outside.

Until evening, he heard a loud shout from the servant.

"Here is Mr. Frey!"

Hearing this name he had been thinking about day and night, the only left eye under the white fox mask finally opened.

If there were other people in the room at this time, they would definitely be shocked by Xia Feng's murderous aura in an instant, so that his legs became weak.

This is naked hatred, the revenge heart that has settled down several days and nights.

....

Night falls.

The birthday party of Yingwu's family officially began.

Because of the large number of guests, Yingwu's family directly set up the banquet in a spacious courtyard, with delicious food and wine on the table, and singing and dancing and flower names performed in the middle.

Guests from all walks of life gathered together and sat outside the huge yard.

In front of the door of the main room in the middle, Yingwu family's head, Yingwu Shanxiong, was surrounded by a seat.

The wine was filled, and the guests raised their glasses to congratulate.

"I wish the head of Shanxiong's family a long life!"

"I wish the gods will accompany the head of Shanxiong's family every day to guard my Dadongzhou!"

"I wish the men of the Yingwu family are unparalleled in courage and wish them prosperity!"

Faced with all kinds of congratulations, Yingwu Mountain smiled red. She was only 47 years old, and she looked like she was celebrating her 80th birthday.

During this period, Xia Feng didn't make a sound, but just sat alone in the corner. Because he was wearing a mask, he didn't even drink a sip of wine.

Ying Wuyun sat not far from Xia Feng, and kept winking at Xia Feng, trying to make Xia Feng stand up and say a few words, even if it was just a simple congratulation.

But Xia Feng turned a blind eye to this and just sat quietly, as if waiting for something.

....

The Yingwu family is a family of military generals. Even though they have now become the dominant ruler of Dongzhou, most of the military generals in the army are still from their own family.

In this regard, simple singing and dancing obviously cannot satisfy the interests of the head and guests.

After three rounds of wine, everyone was slightly drunk, and Yingwu Shanxiong waved his hand.

"Taoi protects me, the foundation of the Yingwu family. Haha, we old guys may not be able to move. Young men, who would like to show off their skills and help all the guests?"

Sakuratake Yamatsu said it lightly, but everyone knows that this is not simply to entertain.

...

In addition to my family, there are many "fencemen" guests at the banquet. This is the time to show the strength of the Yingwu family.

To put it simply, this is the same as the swordsmanship competition held by Victoria when Reych died in the face of Usas' threat.

It is said to be a liven up, but it is actually a display of force. The Yingwu family's own family obviously does not need to show it. At this time, of course, it is to show some "things" that others don't know.

For example, the "outsider" who has joined the Yingwu family.

....

As soon as Yingwu Shanxiong finished speaking, the summer wind that had been silent for the whole night rose up.

"My Lord, I would like to show you the sword skills of Yan Kingdom to all guests. My martial arts skills are poor. I hope the head of the family will not dislike you."

Seeing that Xia Feng actually wanted to "stand in the spotlight", Yingwu Shanxiong was naturally happy.

"Okay, Your Excellency Zhang San is a new strong general who joins my Yingwu family. It is said that his Yan Kingdom swordsmanship is superb. Today we will be able to appreciate it."

The summer breeze bows slightly.

"Then I'll be ugly."

The so-called display is of course not a person's gestures, and swordsmanship is not a performance. Most of the people sitting are military generals, and the connotation can be seen only in actual combat.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, the subordinates immediately brought a wooden sword to Xia Feng.

Swords have no eyes. On such a happy day, if you use a real sword and a real sword to compete, it will be bad if you accidentally see blood.

In a strong confrontation, even the Mu Jian, the process of competition is exciting enough.

....

Seeing that Xia Feng was ready, Yingwu Shanxiong nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency Zhang San, I don't know who you want to choose to compete with you. If you speak with my Yingwu family, don't worry, just choose as you like, don't be afraid of offending others."

At this time, Ying Wuyun, who was sitting in the seat, stood up and raised her hand to signal to Xia Feng.

Yes, Ying Wuyun really wanted to compete with Xia Feng because he had heard the hints in the words of the head of the family.

Obviously, Sakuratake Yuki wanted him to take off Xia Feng's mask through this fun-inspired exchange, so that all guests could see Xia Feng's true face.

If Xia Feng had a relationship with the Nishimiya family, so many big names who had seen the world would definitely recognize him.

If his appearance does not attract anyone's attention, it will prove that this person is available.

....

However, Xia Feng's choice did not follow the script.

He ignored Ying Wuyun, who raised his hand, and turned his eyes to the face of a middle-aged man sitting next to the head of the house.

"I'll choose him."
