That night, the Luo family welcomed Yan Liqiang and his party in the Luo family's mansion in Jinzhou City. Concubine Rong, King Min, Princess Anping, Concubine Yi, Concubine Duan and Concubine Rui all attended the banquet. Yan Liqiang, who was invited, naturally brought Liu Xitong and Sima Qingshan and others to attend.

At this banquet, Yan Liqiang met many backbone figures of the Luo family, civil and military officials and local wealthy merchants in Jinzhou. Naturally, Yan Liqiang, who escorted Concubine Rong and others to Jinzhou along the way, became the focus of attention at the banquet. Especially the elite figures of the younger generation of the Luo family frequently looked at Yan Liqiang, and Yan Liqiang always looked calm. For him, he was not surprised about such a scene. In addition to a full meal, the only meaning for him was to take the opportunity to learn more about the strength of the Luo family and Jinzhou. As long as he came to such an occasion, even if he didn't say a word, he could get a lot of information and information that ordinary people could unimaginable.

It has to be said that the Luo family is indeed extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, it only seems that the civil and military officials attending the banquet are not comparable to ordinary wealthy families. Among those officials are officials in the Jinzhou Governor's Mansion and a group of senior generals in the Heishan Army of Daying, Jinzhou. The civil and military officials sit in two rows, gather together, and have a strong talent. Let's not talk about the civil officials. The generals in the Heishan Army have calm breaths, tiger backs, bear waists, and different temperaments, which impressed Yan Liqiang.

In such a big banquet, music and singing and dancing are naturally indispensable. After several vocalists performed the performances, another group of samurai performed the sword dance skills. After the sword dance, in the lobby of the banquet, someone began to promote the circle and compete. It was this competition of competition that pushed the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall to a climax.

In the past, Yan Liqiang saw many of the skills in the circles. This was the first time he saw the skills in the circles. Moreover, the people who were good at the circles were not arranged by anyone, but the guards of all kinds of people present and the officers in the Black Mountain Army who were sitting in person came to compete, not about their status, but about their ability level. A group of high-ranking officials and noble ladies present were cheering and watching, and many people even bet on the spot to win or lose. Those who performed well in the circles would even receive various rewards.

In the previous few games of the round-trip competition, not to mention Yan Liqiang, even Liu Xi and others were excited to watch it and were eager to try it out. After drinking a little wine, Guo Sida was itchy and couldn't help but pluck the courage to go out for two rounds. In the first round, Guo Sida defeated a guard from a Jinzhou merchant. In the second round, Guo Sida was defeated and was pushed out of the circle by another guard brought by a guest attending the banquet. However, Guo Sida was very happy. Guo Sida, who won one game, received a reward of 20 taels of gold from the Luo family. He smiled and returned to the seat, drank a big glass of wine, "Excited, enjoyable..."

The people who started to compete in the promotion circle were average, but as the competition began, the people who stayed in the promotion circle became stronger and stronger, and their cultivation became higher and higher. This competition became more and more exciting. As the competition proceeded, it often caused exclamations and cheers from the ladies and ladies attending the meeting. When they heard these voices, the people who competed in the competition were more like chicken blood and were desperately performed. Although this game of competition in the promotion circle would not hurt their lives, it was common to have a fierce point, such as bruises and swelling of noses, faces, bloodshots, or even fractures.

"Interesting, interesting!" Yan Liqiang drank, watched the contest in the venue, turned his head and looked at Sima Qingshan, "Is this Jinzhou rich party banquet so wild and enthusiastic?"

Sima Qingshan, who attended the dinner today, also changed into a well-fitting outfit, feather fan and luster, and sat in the second seat behind Yan Liqiang, looking a bit strange. When he heard Yan Liqiang's question, Sima Qingshan leaned forward slightly and replied in a low voice.

"Young Master doesn't know that the people in Jinzhou are bold and tough, so the style of promoting the circle is prosperous in Jinzhou. From high-ranking officials to peddlers and barbarians, they all like this. Many wealthy families specialize in raising many warriors and masters. They practice the skills of promoting the circle at home every day in order to shine on such occasions and win the lead. The Luo family has raised many experts in promoting the circle!!"

"Haha, this is interesting. Although this round-trip skills are related to the fighting cultivation method. If you play and compete frequently, you can make people's fighting skills improve, but it is not completely equivalent to the fighting cultivation method. If you practice this technique for a long time, the whole martial arts practice will definitely be abandoned. In Jinzhou, there are really masters who are willing to do nothing every day, so just practice the round-trip skills?"

"Adults are rich in the northwest. Maybe they don't know how hard these ordinary people are. Nine out of ten are poor. This concentration of martial arts requires money, buying all kinds of good elixirs requires money, and learning skills also requires money. Where can ordinary people have so much money to support martial arts, so they naturally have various means of making a living, such as entering the escort agency to escort, guarding people's houses, becoming other people's guards, or becoming a ranger, some of them go directly to the underworld. The few desperate despairs recruited by the county magistrate of Luquan County belong to the latter type, and only a few thousand taels of silver can make them work hard every year. The coal in Jinzhou

The iron profit is the best in the world, and it is hard for outsiders to imagine that these wealthy families are willing to pay and are willing to devote themselves to the skills of promoting the circle. There are countless experts who are eager to pay for money and compete in the promotion circle. However, for those wealthy families, raising these masters is expensive, but as long as these masters can win a game in a key promotion circle competition, the bet for that game may be one or two mines, and their value is definitely far more than the expenses on these masters. There are conflicts and conflicts between the wealthy families in many places in Jinzhou. For mine land, they often do not seek solutions from the government, but instead seeking the promotion circle expert to determine the outcome..."

"So that's it!" Yan Liqiang suddenly realized, then looked at Sima Qingshan with praise, "You are not bad, do you know a lot?"

"I failed to learn martial arts when I was young, so I had to learn literature. I had traveled all over the world to learn literature and paid great attention to the customs and customs of various places. Now I can serve with the young master, which is really a blessing!" Sima Qingshan lowered her head and said modestly and cautiously.

Yan Liqiang was talking. On the push circle field, a young Black Mountain Army officer in his twenties had already won seven consecutive games on the court. No one had gone up to the eighth game. The young Black Mountain Army officer looked at Yan Liqiang with a bright look and said loudly, "I have heard that Lord Yan is outstanding in martial arts and a young hero. I wonder if he can give him a lesson?"

Hearing the words of the young officer in the rushing circle, the huge banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Liqiang's face, and they were full of curiosity. They had heard of the name Yan Liqiang for a long time and wanted to see what abilities this upstart in the Han Empire and the craftsman of the heavenly craftsman had, but it was rare for someone to directly challenge him.

"Nonsense..." Before Yan Liqiang could speak, Luo Yutian's face darkened and he scolded, "Master Yan is a guest from afar, so there is no reason to let the guest fall. Besides, Lord Yan's reputation spread throughout the world. Young heroes, where is your turn to judge? I won't let me go..."

Yan Liqiang saw that the young officer who was going to challenge him looked a little similar to Luo Yutian, so he knew at a glance that he must be from the Luo family, and it might be Luo Yutian's nephew or relatives. Otherwise, he would not be so bold. In this situation, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff, so he glanced at Yan Hong next to him.

Yan Hong stood up all of a sudden, laughed and walked into the push circle, "I just happened to be itchy in my skills and was about to try it out. If you want to challenge Lord Yan, you can pass this level first..."

Since Yan Liqiang had someone on the side, Luo Yutian's face suddenly calmed down, and he just smiled apologetically at Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang also smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to Luo Yutian, expressing his disregard...
