Sheng Fu

Chapter 943 A Hasty Banquet

The two girls glanced at Yu Wenjun with disdain, then sheathed their swords and turned their blood spears invisible.

In the inner hall, silence spread like a tide.

……

At night, Liu Qinghua and Dugu Li arrived.

The lights were bright, and all the people from the Hengchang Sect gathered together. The originally silent and solemn City Lord's Mansion was now filled with a vibrant atmosphere.

"It's a pity that there is no Half Moon Wine. I have always wanted to buy Half Moon Wine, but for various reasons, I have never been able to do so." Yu Wenjun was a little sad, because the first time he went to officially buy Half Moon Wine, Gu Yong was still by his side.

Liu Qinghua, Dugu Li, Wu Mi, and Jing Peiyao sat on one side, Zhang Benchu, Guo Shenghe, Gao Zhi, and Yan Zhao sat on the other side, and Yuwen Jun sat in the main seat. It had been a long time since these young people had gathered together like this.

Although they had often met on the battlefield in the Demon Realm before, there would always be one or two people left behind, and everything was simple on the battlefield, but this place was a city lord's mansion after all.

Jing Peiyao said leisurely: "Our master just came back from a defeat on the battlefield of Xinghan City. He is in a bad mood. Please bear with me."

Wu Mi said sarcastically, "It's not a defeat, it's just a failure. Even with the Queen's support, we still failed. This is a shame for the Lord."

Guo Shenghe felt something was amiss, so he pursed his lips and said in a slightly restrained tone, "We are going to the battlefield tomorrow, can you please say something auspicious?"

Zhang Benchu ​​said nothing. He could sense that Master Yuwen was now upset.

Yu Wenjun rubbed his nose awkwardly, looked at Liu Qinghua, and smiled faintly: "How is Qiushui County now?"

Liu Qinghua was as lively as ever. He finally waited until his junior fellow apprentice asked him about Qiushui County, and then he said with a smile: "Everything is going well. Since the Prime Minister came to Qiushui County, many merchants have begun to approach the towns around Qiushui County. The sound of reading has begun to be heard in the Hengchang Academy."

"The only drawback is that some students are far away from Qiushui County and need to cross mountains and ridges to reach Qiushui County, but we have also built dormitories in advance to provide accommodation for those students who come from afar."

“It’s just a nominal fee.”

"The Hengchang Academy can currently accommodate about 100,000 students if they are crowded."

"However, teachers are in short supply at the moment."

"I also wrote a letter to His Royal Highness the Southern King, and he verbally agreed to dispatch some teachers from the south to Qiushui County within the next three months."

"Chen Ti, Jiang Qian and others from Hengchang Sect have also arrived at the Hengchang Academy in Qiushui County. The two little guys, Shi Kun and Wei Huan, are also experiencing the wonderful scene of all things competing for vitality in Qiushui County."

"The human race in the north is gradually becoming more stable and peaceful, and the aristocratic families are also observing the law and order at the moment."

Yu Wenjun had a faint smile on his face. With Dugu Li by Liu Qinghua's side, at least he didn't have to worry about any shortcomings in the construction structure of Qiu Shui County.

Although the foreign war was a mess, at least there were some achievements in domestic affairs, and Yu Wenjun's mood gradually became balanced.

"That's much more auspicious." Yu Wenjun curled his lips and smiled.

Guo Shenghe said straightforwardly: "If that's the case, then pick up your chopsticks. After eating a few bites here, we have to rush to the next banquet in the camp, which is about to begin."

Yu Wenjun immediately picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth, urging: "Begin, eat as much as you can, don't worry about your eating manners in front of the girl."

"Just be yourself, especially Zhang Benchu."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Benchu's face darkened and he almost couldn't hold it anymore.

Then, the men at the table started eating at the same time, and their eating manners were a bit rude.

Dugu Li, Liu Qinghua, Wu Mi, and Jing Peiyao were speechless upon seeing this.

There is no way. There will always be some difficult-to-bridge gaps between men and women.

After eating a few bites, Guo Shenghe wiped his mouth with his sleeve and shouted, "Let's go to the camp and continue eating." After that, Guo Shenghe got up and left, followed by Zhang Benchu, Gao Zhi and Yan Zhao.

Yu Wenjun covered his face helplessly and said, "General, hurry up and mount your horses, and each of us will pursue our own future."

After the words fell, Guo Sheng and a few others couldn't wait to leave the City Lord's Mansion. The sound of horse hooves could be faintly heard outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Wenjun glanced at Jing Peiyao and Wu Mi, then stood up and said, "Take your time to eat. I'm going to go somewhere else."

It also seemed a bit strange to eat at the same table with four girls.

"It's because there is no one to serve him here, so he is in a hurry to leave." Jing Peiyao said with disdain.

"Don't say bad things about me behind my back." Yu Wenjun's response came from the courtyard.

Wu Mi sneered and said, "Maybe he finds us a bit annoying."

Dugu Li smiled shyly, not knowing what to say, but in Dugu Li's memory, Yuwen Jun had always been a person who liked quietness.

Liu Qinghua raised his head and said helplessly: "Then how should we go to the battlefield tomorrow?"

After saying this, Liu Qinghua was also embarrassed, because among the four people present, she was the only one who was still in the Breakthrough Realm, and the remaining three were in the Return to Origin Realm.

Jing Peiyao was amused by Jing Peiyao's words, and responded softly: "And Chi Yuan, in short, tomorrow's battlefield is crucial to you. Whether you can enter Guiyuan depends on this battle."

"After this war is over, I estimate that there will be no major wars for a long time."

"You must enter the Guiyuan realm."

Liu Qinghua was unwilling to fall behind others. Although she knew in her heart that Wu Mi, Dugu Li, and Jing Peiyao had better cultivation talents than herself, it did not affect Liu Qinghua's determination and will to be no weaker than others.

"I understand. Don't worry. I can definitely enter the Guiyuan realm." Liu Qinghua said.

Wu Mi kindly reminded him, "You will gain military honors, but it will be difficult for you to realize your accumulated military merits. In other words, you may have fought in vain on the battlefield."

"We are currently rectifying our internal affairs, so the allocation of resources is extremely tight."

After hearing this, Liu Qinghua said speechlessly: "I know, I am not a petty person. As long as I can enter the Guiyuan Realm, I will be satisfied."

"By the way, will you two be joining the battle tomorrow?"

Wu Mi and Jing Peiyao shook their heads at the same time.

Jing Peiyao said: "Wu Mi and I still need to guard the center. Yu Wenjun will definitely appear on the city wall tomorrow. As for whether he will go down to kill the enemy, it is hard to say."

"You must not take it lightly. Although the Divine Emperor wants the Sima and Sun families to die on the battlefield, the two families will lead the nine clans to knock on the gate and will definitely fight to the death with our soldiers."

"Moreover, it is not clear yet how many Wuji masters the other side has, and whether there are any ruthless people among the Wuji masters who have stepped into that sea of ​​suffering."

"The strategy for this battle is simple, but the actual fighting may be difficult."

Liu Qinghua immediately understood what was going on and said confidently, "My sword is not bad at all."

Dugu Li comforted him softly, "Don't worry, if the other two of them don't accompany you, I will."

Liu Qinghua suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to deliberately escort me. Life and death barriers are fought out. If you are around me, I will always feel that I have a backer."

Dugu Li smiled sweetly and said, "I know."

"Let's eat. Everyone has left. It will be more comfortable for the four of us to sit together and eat." Wu Mi said with a carefree smile and a straightforward look.
