Chapter 172

Da Chu Zhonghe 350 January [-]th.

Chu, the imperial capital, and the Zhou mansion.

Zhou Zhuling was waving the long sword in the yard, and after a few months, Zhou Zhuling's face became rosy and shiny, and his body became much stronger, with a little bit of heroism in the swing of the long sword.

"Brush~"

After rehearsing a set of sword techniques without mobilizing spiritual power, Zhou Zhuling withdrew his sword.

The maidservant who had stood aside earlier handed it over with a warm towel. Zhou Zhuling handed the sword to the maidservant, took the towel, and wiped his face that was a little flushed from sword practice.

"Sister." Zhou Guanyu's voice came, followed by the sound of walking footsteps, Zhou Guanyu in white appeared in the yard.

"Sister, good news!"

Zhou Zhuling put down the towel, walked slowly towards the hall in the yard, and said, "What good news? Did the Zhang family agree to this marriage?"

"My sister is laughing at me again. It has nothing to do with the marriage, but it has something to do with the Zhang family." Zhou Guanyu shook the folding fan and followed Zhou Zhuling into the hall.

"Oh? It's related to the Zhang family? Could it be that Ms. Liuying is back?" Zhou Zhuling asked curiously.

"My sister guessed half right." Zhou Guanyu smiled mysteriously, and said, "Miss Liuying has returned to the imperial capital, but there is another person who also came."

"You'd better say it once, my sister doesn't want to play charades with you." Zhou Zhuling said.

Zhou Guanyu groaned twice, and said: "Of course it's the person that my sister has been thinking about day and night. Alas! It seems that my sister doesn't really want to know his whereabouts! If that's the case, let it go, and my brother will leave."

After speaking, Zhou Guanyu got up and left.

"Guanyu!" Zhou Zhuling asked behind with a surprised tone: "You mean the owner is here?"

Zhou Guanyu turned around, shrugged, and said, "Yes, the owner is here."

"Where is he?" Zhou Zhuling asked happily.

"I saw him at the gate of the Zhang residence." Zhou Guanyu replied.

"Let's go, let's go to Zhang's Mansion!" Zhou Zhuling got up and wanted to leave.

Zhou Guanyu stopped him helplessly, and said, "Sister, it will be a battle for resources in a few days. How can I go to the Zhang family at this time?"

After Zhou Guanyu finished speaking, Zhou Zhuling came to his senses.The Zhou family and the Zhang family are both descendants of the 'Twelve Kings'. At such a critical moment, they usually guard against each other and prepare for the upcoming battle for resources, especially Zhou Zhuling is the candidate sent by the Zhou family to compete for resources this time. It is even more forbidden to run to another house. If someone plots against him, it will be related to the rise and fall of the entire Zhou family in the next ten years.

Resisting the idea of ​​looking for Ma Feifei, Zhou Zhuling suddenly realized, and asked curiously: "When did the owner get in touch with the Zhang family again?"

Zhou Zhuling and his brother should be the ones who know the most about Ma Feifei's details, not to mention the top rich family like the Zhang family, even Ma Feifei, the lord of Yuanfang City, doesn't know him. Although he has a magical bookstore, his social circle is too small. Don't know a few people at all.

Zhou Guanyu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, but I saw Zhang Yunji from the Zhang family in the shop owner's party. I guess it was Zhang Yunji who invited the shop owner to visit the Zhang family."

Speaking of this, Zhou Guanyu seemed to think of something again, and added: "There are also the two idiots we met in the Imperial Capital Tavern last time, the two who were snatched by the owner of Zhu Yanzhu."

"What are you talking about? It was obviously given to the shopkeeper." Zhou Zhuling glared at Zhou Guanyu and said angrily.

"Send it, send it, what my sister said is true." Zhou Guanyu clasped his fists in apology.

Zhou Zhuling didn't continue joking with Zhou Guanyu, went to the Taishi chair and sat down, frowned slightly, and said, "Why does the Zhang family invite the owner to visit the Zhang family at this time?"

There are still four days until the battle for internal resources of the "Twelve Kings" is held every ten years. At this critical moment, no matter what happens to any company, other companies will pay attention to it. This is why Zhou Guanyu was able to immediately I know the reason why Ma Feifei came to the imperial capital, because the surrounding area of ​​the Zhang family is already full of spies from the Zhou family.

"Who knows, maybe they want to ask the shopkeeper for help?" Zhou Guanyu guessed casually.

"However, even if the shopkeeper has the ability to be unpredictable, four days is probably too late, right?" Zhou Guanyu immediately denied his guess.

Four days is too short, even if the Zhang family wants Ma Feifei to help them improve their cultivation or give them martial arts skills, it is too late, not to mention that according to their understanding of Ma Feifei, it seems that Ma Feifei himself is not strong. The bodyguards around him and the magical books in the bookstore.

If the Zhang family really wanted Ma Feifei's help, they could only use the books in Ma Feifei's bookstore to comprehend by themselves, but it takes time to read and comprehend. It takes at least two or three days to finish a book, and there is not enough time.

What's more, there is a rule of Miracle Bookstore, that is, books in the bookstore are not allowed to take away.When Ma Feifei came to the imperial capital, he naturally wouldn't bring the books from the bookstore with him.

"Sister, why don't we pass a note to the shopkeeper? Invite him to come to our house as a guest?" Zhou Guanyu asked.

Zhou Zhuling was a little moved, but then shook his head: "This period is too sensitive, the owner is in the Zhang family, if we do this, it will not be good if the Zhang family misunderstands, let's wait until the battle for resources is over."

Zhou Guanyu nodded, and the two fell into deep thought.

……

Because they wanted to keep a low profile, the Zhang family did not grandly welcome Ma Feifei and his party. Instead, they lived in a very high-end courtyard under the leadership of Zhang Tianjiao and Chang Kong, who lived in the Zhang family.

But before the high-end courtyard was warmed up for 3 minutes, several unexpected guests appeared in the courtyard.

"Hey, our family has a distinguished guest." A few nobles in gorgeous clothes stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Ma Feifei who was admiring the flowers in the courtyard, and said in a mocking tone.

"Look at this attire, all in purple, it's really coquettish." A boy in white sneered.

"Looking at the material of this cloth, it should be made of the fur of Diyun beast, right? The fur of a first-order spirit beast, tsk tsk." Another boy in blue taunted.

"It's made of Di Yun's animal fur? Can't it be bought with gold coins?" The third boy in black said in surprise, "Can you wear things bought with gold coins? Eh~~ Not only tacky, but also dirty."

"It's not just dirty, it's simply not classy. It's what ordinary people wear. I didn't expect our distinguished guests to wear such cheap clothes. It's really disappointing." The first white-clothed boy continued.

"Maybe it's because you're too poor?" said the second boy in blue.

"Oh~ I'm sorry, dear guest, we forgot this point, you may not be tasteless, but too poor! Haha~~~" After the third black-clothed boy finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

And it hit the laughing point of the other two, and the three of them laughed wantonly in the courtyard together.

'Da da da~~'

'Papa papa~'

There was a loud noise, and the yard was finally quiet.

Ma Feifei looked at the three huddled together with bruised skin and swollen faces, and sighed: "Are you still dancing?"

The three shook their heads in unison.

"Is this dress tasteful?" Ma Feifei pointed to the purple robe on his body.

The three nodded in unison.

Ma Feifei chuckled and said, "You must not accept it, right?"

The three hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and finally chose to shake their heads.

"No, no, no, I know you guys are not convinced." Ma Feifei shook his head, squatted down, looked at the three of them and said, "Although I don't know where you guys came from, you are the Zhang family after all, and I can't use force Bullying you, so now I will give you a chance to clear your shame."

"What chance?" The boy in black asked while covering Brother Pig's swollen face.

"Slap~" Ma Feifei slapped him and scolded, "You are still not convinced!"

"Don't go too far!" The young man in black was slapped, turned over, took a few steps away, pointed at Ma Feifei and said, "We just don't accept it. Is it wrong to say you have no taste? Is it wrong to say you are poor?" Is it? You have no taste and you are poor, why don't you let people tell the truth?"

"That's right!" Where there is oppression, there is resistance. As soon as the boy in black resisted, the boy in white and the boy in blue also followed the trend, and the three of them stood together and glared at Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei glanced at the three of them in surprise. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the baby with all these experiences had a lot of backbone. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, say I have no taste, say I'm poor, then let's compare, how about it?"

"How do you compare?" The three asked in unison.

"Of course it's to compare who has better taste and who has more money!" Ma Feifei replied.

"In this way, the three of you come together. If the wealth of the three of you can exceed mine, then it proves that you are rich. In addition, if anyone loses, all the wealth of the loser must belong to the winner. This is a bet, no problem, right?" ?” Ma Feifei smiled treacherously.

Seeing that Ma Feifei was so confident, the three of them felt a little ignorant. They glanced at each other, and in the end it was the black-clothed boy who had a hard time saying, "What are you afraid of? People, bet with him!"

"Okay, bet!"

Therefore, the three of them agreed to bet against each other for the first time, to compare who is richer.

"What about the taste? How to compare?" asked the brother in black.

Ma Feifei pondered for a while, then clapped his hands, and said: "This is easy, the four of us choose a set of clothes to wear, and then let people judge whose clothes look good and have temperament on them, whoever wins." Or, is this okay?"

"Then who will be the judge?" the three asked.

The taste in dressing varies from person to person, so this judge is particularly important.

Ma Feifei hesitated for a moment, and said: "I just came to the imperial capital, and I am not familiar with the place where I live. If my people are allowed to make judgments, you will definitely not be convinced. Why don't you find someone."

The faces of the three were delighted, and the young man in blue blurted out, "Then let Miss Liuying be the judge, how about it?"

"Yes, let Miss Liuying be the judge." The remaining two agreed.

"Okay, as long as Miss Liuying is willing, I don't care." Ma Feifei shrugged, very casually.

Seeing that Ma Feifei agreed, the three of them were overjoyed, and Brother Lan immediately said, "Then I'll call Miss Liuying."

After finishing speaking, he ran out in a hurry, leaving behind the black and white young masters.

"Then what is the bet for this taste competition?" The black-clothed boy said with a treacherous smile on his face.

It seemed that in their hearts, Ma Feifei would definitely lose.

"Let's run!" Ma Feifei said.

"What?" The black and white masters didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

Ma Feifei gestured with his hand, and explained: "Whoever loses, whoever takes off all his clothes, runs around this mansion, is that okay?"

"This..." The black and white masters hesitated.

This is a matter of face, it's not a joke, running around naked in Zhang's mansion, it would be really embarrassing.

"What? Cowardly?" Ma Feifei asked with pouted lips.

The two masters, black and white, looked at each other, and replied, "Compare!"

Ma Feifei clapped his hands, stood up, and said: "Okay, with a word from a gentleman, it's hard to catch up. I'll give you an hour to prepare the spirit crystals, and after an hour, our competition will officially begin!"
