Because Sister Qianye was in high spirits, the three of them strolled directly until nightfall.

As the capital of Dongzhou, the night is naturally just as lively, although it is not as neon as Victoria, but the main street is basically electrified street lights, and there are also bright lanterns in front of the shops on the side street.

All kinds of strange trinkets, as well as fine wine and food.

At least on the surface, the Sakura samurai's rule over Dongzhou is quite good, and of course, it is limited to Dongzhou Mansion.

....

Sister Qianye hasn't been so happy for a long time, with two "brothers" by her side, she seems to have regained the feeling of being a child.

Since she became an adult, her two brothers have rarely returned to their own home, basically staying in the barracks all year round, and their best playmate Sakura Wuyun also runs for the family.

As a woman, she can't go to the battlefield, and it is difficult for her to serve the Sakura Warrior family, so she can only stay in her own family honestly and wait for her to get married.

According to the current situation, there are basically only two directions for her future marriage contract.

First, the Sakura samurai family stabilized Dongzhou, and the head of the family, who was his father, recruited an "outsider" with outstanding ability to become a son-in-law.

Second, the war between the Sakura Sakura family and the Nishinomiya family is tense, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time, so if the two sides want to resolve the conflict, the best way is to marry.

There are already many precedents for this kind of thing, and when the time comes, she will marry into the Xigong family, and through the relationship between the two sides of the "in-laws", the conflict will be temporarily settled, of course, only temporarily.

....

Tonight's Dongzhou Mansion is very lively, because tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the head of the family, and even the people will celebrate together.

To welcome the occasion, residents set off improvised fireworks outside the city the night beforehand.

"Bang!"

The humble fireworks exploding in the night sky are not spectacular in the eyes of the summer breeze, and it can hardly be called beautiful.

But in the eyes of Sakuratake Qianye, it seems to be the most beautiful moment in the world.

"It's beautiful!"

The cold little hands unconsciously held the "elder brother" on both sides, and under the reflection of the fireworks, her eyebrows were full of anticipation.

"Brother Yun, third brother, the Sakura Martial Family will definitely settle the dispute with the Xigong family this time, and let Dongzhou return to stability and peace."

Sakura Wuyun sensed Qianye's emotions and comforted him with a smile.

"That's for sure, the Sakura Martial Arts family has a solid foundation, there are many strong generals, plus the third brother who has joined the hidden world master of the family, this war will definitely subside."

"Yes."

Sakura Wuyun's words made Qianye innocently put his mind at ease, but Xia Feng, who was standing on the other side, did not make a sound.

Because he knows that whatever he says at the moment is a lie.

....

....

The next day.

Today is the birthday banquet of the head of the family, Sakuratakeyama, and the entire mansion has been busy since early in the morning.

In the morning, all kinds of invitees arrived in Dongzhou Mansion one after another.

There are people who manage the surrounding large cities, such as Sakura Wuyun's father, as well as various business tycoons, such as cloth merchants, big drug dealers, big salt merchants, and so on.

And those men with serious faces and murderous aura are all generals from the Sakura samurai family who came from various battlefields to celebrate their birthdays, and among them are famous generals who are well-known throughout the Eastern Kingdom.

....

Throughout the afternoon, Xia Feng stayed in his room honestly, deaf to the hustle and bustle outside.

It wasn't until late evening that he heard a shout from his subordinates.

"Lord Frey has arrived!"

Hearing this name, which 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 that broke out in an instant, and their legs would go limp.

This is **naked hatred, a heart of revenge that has been precipitated for several days and nights.

....

Night falls.

The Sakura Sakura family's birthday feast officially began.

Because of the large number of guests, the Sakura samurai family directly set up the banquet in the spacious courtyard, where food and wine were put on the table, and songs and dances were performed in the center.

Guests from all walks of life gathered around the outside of the huge courtyard.

In front of the main room in the middle, the head of the Sakura Takeshi family, Sakuratakeyama, was seated in a cluster.

The wine was poured to the brim, and the guests raised their glasses in congratulations.

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

"May the gods of heaven accompany the head of the mountain male family and guard my Great Dongzhou!"

"May the men of the Sakura Martial Arts family be brave and unparalleled, and I wish the martial arts prosperity!"

In the face of all kinds of congratulations, Sakuratakeyama Xiong smiled with a red face, obviously only 47 years old, looking at him as if he was celebrating his 80th birthday.

During this period, Xia Feng didn't make a sound, just sat silently in the corner, because he was wearing a mask, he didn't even take a sip of wine.

Sakura Wuyun sat not far from Xia Feng, and kept glancing at Xia Feng during the period, trying to make Xia Feng stand up and say a few words, even if it was just a simple congratulations.

But Xia Feng completely ignored this, and just sat quietly, as if waiting for something.

....

The Sakura samurai family is a family of military generals, and even now that they have become the overlords who rule Dongzhou, most of the generals in the army are still in the family.

In this regard, simple singing and dancing obviously cannot satisfy the interest of the owner and the guests.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was slightly drunk, and Sakura Takeyama waved his hand.

"Wu Nai protects the foundation of my Sakura martial arts family, haha, we old guys may not be able to move, young men, who wants to show their skills and help the guests?"

Sakuratakeyama said it lightly, but everyone knows that this is not a simple fun.

...

In addition to the family, there are many "wall grass" for the guests of the banquet, and this is the time to show the strength of the Sakura samurai family.

To put it simply, this is the same as the sword fighting tournament that Victoria held in the face of the threat of Ursas at the time of Rich's death.

It's said to be fun.,It's actually a show of force.,And the Sakura samurai family's family obviously doesn't need to show.,At this time.,Of course, it's to show some "things" that others don't know.。

For example, the "outsiders" who have newly joined the Sakura samurai family.

....

As soon as Sakuratakeyama's voice fell, the summer breeze that had been silent all night rose.

"Lord of the family, I am willing to show you the swordsmanship of the Yan Kingdom for all the guests, and I hope that the master of the family will not dislike it."

Seeing that Xia Feng actually took the initiative to "stand in the spotlight", Sakuratake Yamao was naturally happy.

"Okay, Your Excellency Zhang San is a strong general who has newly joined my Sakura Martial Arts, and it is said that he is a powerful swordsman in the Yan Kingdom, so let's take a look at it today."

Xia Feng bowed slightly.

"Then it will be ugly."

Of course, the so-called display is not a person's comparison, swordsmanship is not a performance, most of the people sitting here are generals, and the connotation can only be seen in actual combat.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, the subordinate immediately sent a wooden sword to Xia Feng.

The sword has no eyes, and on such a happy day, if you use a real sword and a real sword to compete, it will not be good to see blood unexpectedly.

In the strong confrontation, even if it is a wooden sword, the process of learning is exciting enough.

....

Seeing that Xia Feng was ready, Sakuratakeyama nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency Zhang San, I don't know who you want to choose to compete with you, speak in my Sakura martial arts family's strength, don't worry, you can choose at will, don't be afraid of offending people."

At this time, Sakura Wuyun, who was sitting in the seat, took the initiative to stand up and raised his hand towards Xia Feng.

Yes, Ying Wuyun really wanted to talk to Xia Feng, because he had already heard the hint in the words of the head of the family.

Obviously, Sakuratakeyama wanted him to pass this fun exchange and pretend to accidentally remove Xia Feng's mask, so that all the guests could see Xia Feng's true face.

If Xia Feng had a relationship with the Xigong family, so many big people who had seen the world would definitely recognize it.

If his appearance really does not arouse anyone's attention, it proves that the person is usable.

....

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

I saw that he ignored Sakura Wuyun, who raised his hand, and set his eyes on the face of a middle-aged man sitting next to the head of the family.

"I choose him."

Hearing this voice, Frey, who was drinking, was stunned, and the wine glass in his hand stopped in mid-air.
