Silver Overlord - Chapter 796

[Chapter 765]

That night, the Luo family was in the Luo family’s mansion in Jinzhou City to wash away the dust for Yan Liqiang and his party. Concubine Rong Gui, Prince Min, Princess Anping, and Concubine Yi, Concubine Duan and Concubine Rui all attended the banquet and were invited to Naturally, Yan Liqiang also attended with Liu Xitong, Sima Qingshan and others.

At this banquet, Yan Liqiang got to know many key figures of the Luo family, civil and military officials in Jinzhou and big local businessmen. Naturally, Yan Liqiang, who escorted Concubine Rong and others to Jinzhou along the way, also became a part of the banquet. The focus of public attention, especially the elite figures of the younger generation of the Luo family, frequently turned their eyes to Yan Liqiang, and Yan Liqiang always looked calm. Aside from a full meal, the only meaning to him is to take the opportunity to learn more about the strength of the Luo family and Jinzhou. With the snake in his body, as long as he comes to this kind of occasion, even if he doesn’t say a word , you can get a lot of data and information that ordinary people can’t imagine.

I have to say that this Luo family is indeed extraordinary. If nothing else, it seems that the civil and military officials attending the banquet are not comparable to ordinary wealthy families. Among those officials, there are officials in the Jinzhou Prefectural Palace, and some A group of senior generals in the Heishan Army in the Jinzhou Camp, the civil and military officials were seated in two rows, and the talents were at their peak, not to mention the civil officials. Impressed Yan Liqiang.

In such a feast, music and singing and dancing are naturally indispensable. After several groups of Kajibuki performed, another group of samurai performed sword dance skills. After the sword dance was over, it was in the hall of the banquet. , Someone else started to push the circle to compete, and it was this push-circle competition that pushed the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall to a climax.

In the past, Yan Liqiang had seen this competition in the circle, and it was mostly in the folk. It was the first time he had seen the competition in the circle on this occasion, and the person who was more skilled in the circle was not arranged by anyone. It was the guards of various people who were present and the officers of the Montenegrin Army who were sitting in the battle in person. They didn’t talk about their status, but only about their ability level. A group of dignitaries, dignitaries, wealthy and noble ladies were applauding and watching, and even many people Bet on the spot to win or lose, and those who perform well in the push circle competition will even be rewarded with various rewards.

In the first few rounds of push circle competition, not to mention Yan Liqiang, even Liu Xi and others were enthusiastic and eager to try it. In the circle, Guo Sida defeated a guard of a certain Jinzhou merchant, and in the second round, Guo Sida was defeated, and was pushed out of the circle by the guard brought by another guest who attended the banquet, but Guo Sida was very happy and won a Guo Sida, who was in the field, was rewarded with 20 taels of gold from the Luo family. He returned to the seat with a smile and drank a glass of wine

. At the beginning of the contest, the people who stayed in the push circle became stronger and stronger, and their cultivation became higher and higher, and the contest became more and more exciting. Pieces of exclamations and cheers rang out. Hearing these sounds, the contestants in the field were more like fighting chickens, and they tried their best to perform. Although this game of pushing circles will not hurt their lives, it is more than enough. In intense places, nose bruises, swollen face, even head bleeding, or even a fracture, is also a common occurrence.

“Interesting, interesting!” Yan Liqiang was drinking wine, watching the contest on the field, and turned his head to look at Sima Qingshan, “Is this Jinzhou giant banquet so wild and enthusiastic?”

Sima Qingshan, who was attending the dinner today, also changed. He put on a well-fitting outfit, a feather fan, and sat on the second seat behind Yan Liqiang. He looked a bit strange. Hearing Yan Liqiang’s question, Sima Qingshan leaned forward slightly

and answered in a low voice. road.

“Young master doesn’t know, this Jinzhou folk style is bold and sturdy, so the style of pushing the circle is very prosperous in Jinzhou, from the dignitaries to the merchants and pawns, they all like this way, among many wealthy families. They have specially raised a lot of warriors and masters, and they practice the skills of pushing circles at home every day, in order to be able to shine on such occasions and win the top prize. This Luo family has raised many masters of pushing circles! ”

Haha, this is quite interesting. Although this push-circle competition is related to the way of fighting, and often playing and fighting can really improve one’s fighting skills, it is not exactly the same as the way of fighting. If you practice this technique for a long time, the whole martial arts practice will definitely be wasted, and there are really masters in Jinzhou who are willing to do nothing every day, just practice this technique of pushing circles?”

“My lord is in the rich and aristocratic side of the Northwest. Maybe you don’t know the hard work of ordinary Jianghu characters. Nine out of ten ordinary Jianghu characters are poor. You need money to concentrate on martial arts training, and you need money to buy all kinds of good medicine pills. Learning art also requires money. How can ordinary people have so much money to support martial arts, so naturally they have various means of earning a living, such as entering the escort bureau to walk darts, to watch the house, become someone else’s bodyguard, or become a ranger, Some of them go straight to underworld business. Those desperate people recruited by the Luquan County Governor belong to the latter category, and only a few thousand taels of silver can make them work their lives every year. The wealth crown is unrivaled in the world, and it is difficult for outsiders to imagine the wealth of local wealthy families. These wealthy and wealthy families are willing to pay, and there are countless masters who are willing to devote themselves to pushing the circle. For those wealthy families, it is expensive to support these masters. , but as long as these masters can win a game in the key push circle test, the bet in that game may be one or two mines, and its value will definitely far exceed the expenditure on these masters. This Jinzhou There are conflicts and conflicts between the rich and powerful families in many places, and they compete for mine land. Many times, they do not find the government to solve the problem, but find the push circle masters to compete to determine the winner…”

“That’s the case!” Yan Liqiang suddenly realized, and then looked at it approvingly. Glancing at Sima Qingshan, “You’re not bad, you know a lot?”

“When I was young, I couldn’t learn martial arts, so I had to learn literature. Back then, I traveled all over the world to learn literature. It’s really a blessing for me to serve next to the young master!” Sima Qingshan lowered his head and said modestly and cautiously.

Yan Liqiang was talking here, while on the push ring over there, a young Montenegrin army officer in his twenties, UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com has won seven straight games in a row, and the eighth game is still in a row. No one went up, and the young Montenegrin army officer looked at Yan Liqiang with bright eyes and said loudly, “I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yan is outstanding in martial arts and a young hero. I wonder if you can teach me a lesson?

” At the words of the young officer, the huge banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yan Liqiang’s face, and they were all full of curiosity. They had heard the name Yan Liqiang for a long time and thought about it. Look at the abilities of the upstarts and master craftsmen of the Han Empire, but it is rare for anyone to challenge them directly.

“Nonsense…” Before Yan Liqiang could speak, Luo Yutian’s face sank, and then he scolded, “Master Yan is a guest from afar, there is no reason for the guest to end, and besides, Master Yan is famous all over the world, young hero, where can you get it? You come to judge, don’t let me go down…”

Yan Liqiang saw that the young officer who was going to challenge him still looked a bit similar to Luo Yutian, so at a glance, he knew that it must be a member of the Luo family. Luo Yutian’s nephews and relatives, otherwise it would be impossible to be so bold. On this occasion, he didn’t want to make the atmosphere too stiff, so he glanced at Yan Hong next to him.

As expected, Yan Hong stood up all of a sudden, and walked into the push circle with a big laugh, “I just want to try it out, and I want to challenge Mr. Yan. Let’s pass my level first…”

Yan Liqiang Now that someone has ended here, Luo Yutian’s face suddenly softened, but he smiled apologetically at Yan Liqiang, and Yan Liqiang also smiled, and raised his glass to Luo Yutian, expressing that he didn’t mind …
