Chapter 6812: Their respective subordinates
"Xiaozhi, the level of your place is not as good as last year. Last year, there was a banquet at Zichuan's house with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. The dishes were so delicious." Zhang Fei, with a bandage on his big arm and holding two jars of wine, walked in with his son Zhang Bao. He looked at the busy waiters, smacked his lips twice and started yelling.

"That's right, but that's Zichuan. And even General Zhang doesn't give me good wine and meat, so how can I prepare a banquet? Don't you think so?" Fa Zheng didn't get angry when he heard this. He smiled at Zhang Fei and reached out to take the jar of wine. "By the way, are your previous injuries still not healed?"

"The golden wound left by Locust Sky is a little difficult to deal with, but it will be soon. I should be able to completely erase it in another half a year." Zhang Fei circled Fa Zheng with his big elbow and spoke generously, but Fa Zheng could still smell a hint of blood in his nose.

"It feels like this injury will never heal." Fa Zheng frowned and touched it with his mind, feeling a slight sting.

"After all, it's the indestructible golden nature that's one major realm higher than ours. It can't be cured unless it is erased. Xiaozhi, believe it or not, I will be the fastest among this group of people to erase it." Zhang Fei touched his beard with his free hand, with a proud look on his face.

"In other words, General Guan will need to wait until July of next year to recover at the earliest?" Fa Zheng raised his voice deliberately, and Guan Yu and Guan Ping behind him strode over. Hearing this, while stroking his beard, he glanced at Zhang Fei who was talking nonsense.

"Hey, second brother, you know I'm not talking nonsense. This time I will definitely destroy this thing before you." Zhang Fei chuckled. He was indeed ahead of everyone this time.

Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhang Fei, felt it with his divine will, and nodded slowly. Zhang Fei was indeed walking in front of him.

"The metal element is the power born from the mixture of essence, energy and spirit. No matter you, second brother, or that guy Lu Bu, both tend to be biased towards one aspect, and it is difficult to reconcile and balance them." Zhang Fei has already recognized some of the essence of the metal element, and his progress is obviously much faster than Guan Yu and others. He was naturally confident when he said this.

"So that's how it is." Guan Yu felt the gold injury left in his body, and combined with what Zhang Fei told him, he had a clearer understanding of how to erase the gold nature next.

"Uncle." Guan Ping held the gift and saluted Zhang Fei, then handed the gift that Guan Yu had chosen for Fa Zheng's son Fa Miao to the housekeeper beside him. To be honest, in Guan Ping's impression, this was the first time that Guan Yu had chosen a gift so carefully for a child.

There was no other way. Even Adou and Chen Yu did not hold such a grand hundred-day banquet. It was not easy for Fa to have a son, so it was normal for him to be excited.

"Tanzhi's physical fitness is really good." After Guan Ping presented the gift box to the housekeeper, Zhang Fei patted Guan Ping on the shoulder and followed Guan Yu in with emotion.

"Is your father okay? His injuries are much more serious than General Zhang's. Why does it seem like nothing has changed in these few months?" Fa Zheng saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leaving, so he stopped Guan Ping and asked.

"The injuries caused by the metal element are difficult to deal with. You know my father's temper. He has been studying this recently. However, these injuries have been controlled. They will no longer erupt from time to time like before and deepen the impact." Guan Ping was also a little helpless. Many of Guan Yu's injuries came from him and Wei Yan. After the Battle of Locust Sky, Guan Yu forcibly transferred the metal element in Guan Ping and Wei Yan to himself.

"Is that so?" Fa Zheng frowned. Although Guo Jia, the bad mouth, had already activated his spiritual talent and his golden nature would definitely be erased, according to the current situation, it would take too long to drag on.

If this drags on, Fa Zheng is somewhat worried that something unexpected may happen in Ganges. With Yu Jin in charge, Fa Zheng can trust him in normal times, but the problem of the people's unrest in Ganges has not been completely solved yet. With Yu Jin in charge, Fa Zheng is somewhat worried.

"My general has been unwell recently and cannot attend Doctor Fa's wedding banquet, so he asked me to deliver the gift." Just when Fa Zheng was worried about the situation in the Ganges, Lu Bu's housekeeper, under the order of Diao Chan, sent a gift to Fa Zheng.

"It's rare that Marquis Wen actually remembered your son's hundred-day banquet." Guo Jia asked his son to hold a large box of building blocks, and he walked in front, grinning at Fa Zheng.

"Come, come, I cannot open the presents given to my son by others, but I must open the presents given to my son by you." Fa Zheng started to roll up his sleeves when he saw Guo Jia. When Guo Jia had Guo Yi, Fa Zheng gave him a bamboo dove cart that he used to play with when he was a child. Fa Zheng didn't know whether Guo Yi played with it or not, but Guo Jia opened it and started playing with it that day. He was so casual.

"I knew it would be like this. Look, the gifts are not locked, and you can play with them and give them to your son. Not bad, right? This is the design drawing. There are 230,000 pieces, and the largest one can be assembled into a small car that can be ridden in." Guo Jia smiled and was not annoyed at all. What toys are given to his son? Dad will play with them first. If he thinks it's fun, he will pass it on to his son.

"How long did it take you to make this thing?" Fa Zheng opened it and took a look. It took only a few seconds to put a small gadget together. Then he looked at Guo Yi's full box and the large box that several people were helping to carry at the back. He took a breath and thought, this must have taken quite a while.

"I didn't get to play with high-end toys like yours when I was a child. After I played with your chariot, I started preparing them for your son. I have been preparing them for more than ten years. I think I am good to you, brother." Guo Jia shook his head and said with a smile, then ignored Fa Zheng's surprise and walked in with big strides.

With the arrival of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, officials from Liu Bei's side also began to go to attend the 100-day banquet of Fa Zheng's son in batches. Even if some people were unable to come due to physical condition or distance issues, they would still send suitable gifts.

However, unlike the gifts at the wedding banquet, the gifts at the Hundred-Day Banquet were quite strange. The most valuable one was a bronze black pearl filled with the essence of heaven and earth that Gan Ning had fished out of the sea.

Gan Ning and Taishi Ci are still on Ceylon Island recently, occupying the foundation of the permanent fortifications built by Meng Kangbu before, and building their own permanent fortifications, highlighting the fact that they are the ones who get something for free and then become the victims. In short, these two have been working very hard on this recently.

In Gan Ning's words, it is an unsinkable super battleship combined with an extremely powerful and invincible battleship. I, Gan Ning, want to see what the Kushans will do next.

It is obvious that although Gan Ning is very tough, he still hopes that Meng Kangbu will surrender obediently.

Precisely because of this idea, Gan Ning has become much more proactive recently. He even took the Jiangdong fleet on a patrol of the western Indian Ocean, which almost angered Vasudeva I to death.

And this huge bronze black pearl full of the essence of heaven and earth, according to Gan Ning's video, was also obtained by him during this process.

Although Chen Xi doubted that Gan Ning had dug this thing out of the clam, Gan Ning seemed to have realized that there must be a bastard trying to sabotage him. He repeatedly said that he had picked it up and that this thing represented his extreme luck! It was the most suitable gift for Fa Zheng's son!
Chen Xi didn't know whether others believed it or not, but Fa Zheng should have believed it, because he hung it around his son's neck on the spot, and then his son started to gnaw and bite it.

"You are all my relatives and friends, and you all know my character. Let me be frank. Yide complained about today's banquet, saying that it was not well prepared and could not match the banquet that Zichuan's family hosted guests last year. I recalled it and it was true!" Fa Zheng stood at the head of the group, letting the nanny hold his son, and began to complain to everyone present, "But I thought about it and realized that this is not my fault. It was Chen Zichuan who did not sponsor enough. Zichuan, stand up, tell me if it was you who did not sponsor enough!"

Chen Xi covered his face. He was preparing to eat and drink to his heart's content with Chen Tai, Chen Yu, and Chen Si, and then hold a big lottery. However, Chen Xi was a little confused when he was called by Fa Zheng.

"What's going on? What's going on? Why is it my turn suddenly?" Chen Xi looked around and saw a group of people around him burst into laughter. They came here just to have fun, to do some stuff, and to keep in touch. Chen Xi's current situation is perfectly suitable!

"I called your name. Xiaozhi thinks your sponsorship is not enough." Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Xiaozhi, you're going too far. What do you mean I can't sponsor enough? Last year's banquet was sponsored by everyone. Let's have fun together!" Chen Xi stood up and congratulated him. "How about this? I'll be the chef and provide some ingredients. How about we hold it tonight!"

"I've been waiting for you to say this. Your third brother's wine is ready!" Zhang Fei jumped up and kicked his son. Zhang Bao went back happily to carry the wine.

With Chen Xi speaking up and Zhang Fei taking the lead, the ingredients for each family's winter meal were soon gathered together. Although Fa Zheng's father Fa Yan was not used to this kind of scene, it could be seen that this group of people were talking and laughing and had already gathered enough rice and patchwork clothes for Fa Zheng's son.

Since ancient times, these two things have been the best blessings for children.

Fa Zheng looked at the materials that were quickly gathered together, and they were really materials that were sent with blessings and sincerity. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at his father. His expression seemed to say, look, your son is quite amazing.

Fa Yan clenched his walking stick, but finally did not lift it up to hit Fa Zheng twice. It was not because he wanted to save face for Fa Zheng in front of others. Many of the elders and peers present had seen Fa Yan hit Fa Zheng twice with his walking stick, so they did not do anything because they realized that Fa Zheng was indeed an adult.

For Fa Yan, even if Fa Zheng flew to the tree and turned into a phoenix, he had no special feeling about it, even though he became Guannei Hou at the age of only twenty, entered Chang'an at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six and became one of the most powerful ministers in the world, and went to Ganges to be a frontier official at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, all these surprised and shocked Fa Yan, who was born as a great scholar, but Fa Yan always felt that his son had only grown up with brains, but had no responsibility and did not realize certain things.

When Jiang Ying miscarried her first child, Fa Yan felt a little uneasy. When she also miscarried her second child, Fa Yan became a little worried.

Fa Zheng always feels that he is young, and acts like a "young master" who is so arrogant. Fa Yan can clearly feel that Fa Zheng is getting stronger, but he cannot feel Fa Zheng's growth in family responsibilities.

Sometimes Fa Yan wanted to hold down Fa Zheng and make him think carefully about his own family's situation when he was mocking how terrible it was that the founding marquis' family was extinct.

The Legalists were also a single-line family. Fa Zheng's great-grandfather was more than a hundred years older than Fa Zheng. What does this mean? This was the Han Dynasty, an era when people got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. This situation can only mean that the Legalists were close to extinction.

This is also the reason why Fa Yan, after learning that Guo Jia had taken Fa Zheng to a brothel, beat Fa Zheng with his cane in front of Guo Jia. Since then, Guo Jia basically stopped beating Fa Zheng.

This time, Fa Yan more or less sensed some sense of responsibility as a father in Fa Zheng. Compared with the growth in brain, Fa Yan attached more importance to the growth in family responsibility, because Fa Yan really felt that Fa Zheng's brain did not need to grow, and the current level was already scary.

"Everyone, enjoy your meal. I'll drink this Qianjia meal on behalf of my son!" Fa Zheng raised his bowl and shouted, and then he really drank it. At this moment, Fa Yan was stunned. Is this how you are supposed to use the Qianjia meal? Shouldn't it be placed there for prayers?

In short, Fa Zheng was hit by a stick and his whole body was twisted. Then Chen Xi and others surrounded Fa Zheng and laughed at him. After sending his son back to the inner room, Fa Zheng didn't care. He sat on the ground and started bragging and chatting with this group of people. He started yelling at Chen Xi to organize a big lottery, and he had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's start now. I'll have someone bring the lottery jar over, and then everyone present can start the lottery. Well, we'll use Xiaozhi's precious place to hold the lottery, and everyone attending the banquet can participate in the lottery." Chen Xi was dizzy from Fa Zheng's yelling, so he was ready to go with the flow and get started.

"Ah, shit, many of my sisters didn't come!" Gan Ning, who hadn't participated in such activities for several years, roared from the secret mirror that was placed on the table when he heard that Chen Xi was about to start the lottery. "Wait, many of my aunts, nieces, sisters and brothers didn't come. Take me with you!"

"Xingba, what kind of technology is this?" Chen Xi picked up Gan Ning's secret mirror after hearing this, and said with a somewhat ghostly expression, this seems to be a thing with self-awareness.

"You just discovered it now, hahahaha, I, Gan Ning, will reveal the answer now!" Gan Ning on the screen said very arrogantly.

"It's probably something similar to the intelligence that worked for me before." Zang Ba spoke before Gan Ning did, and interrupted Gan Ning's second half of the sentence.

"Oh, it's just the search settings. When encountering a certain situation, it will play the pre-stored voice. I thought it was some high-end thought or something like that." Chen Xi said indifferently.

"Zichuan, I think what Xingba said makes sense. There's no point in drawing with so few of us. Let's wait until the end of the year when there are more people. This time, without Xingba's aunts, nieces, sisters and brothers, it feels like there are really not enough people." Liu Bei looked at the tough guys present and felt that it would be a waste to let this group of people draw the rewards prepared by Chen Xi. It would be better to prepare some for relatively ordinary people.

"Is that so?" Chen Xi looked around and indeed there were not many people attending the banquet today. Those who were not very familiar with Fa Zheng just sent gifts and did not come. Compared with the previous times, there were indeed few people. After all, this banquet was Fa Zheng's private banquet, which belonged to a small circle, so there were not too many people.

"Tsk, you want to take advantage of the few people to give my son the inner choice. In today's round, whatever is drawn will be my son's." Fa Zheng looked unhappy that his plan was exposed. Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but shake their heads. You are so naive, Fa Xiaozhi.

"Speaking of which, are your subordinates ready for the grand military performance?" Liu Bei shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, and then naturally changed the subject and talked about the most lively event recently.

"I have already made arrangements here. Many veterans will participate, but it may be difficult for them to get a good ranking." Zhao Yun said with a smile. The Baima Yicong also has some elite soldiers, but the highest is no more than the sixth level of smelting, and because of the talent structure, there are too many restrictions in the arena competition. Take Zheng Ke as an example. If it is a battle royale or something like that, he has a great advantage, but in the arena competition, his performance is too restricted.

"I have a bigger headache here." Zhang Fei said in a muffled voice. His legion had a lot of injured soldiers. Except for the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, other elite veterans often jumped to other legions when they couldn't hold on any longer. Therefore, among the veterans who signed up to serve Zhang Fei, Kang Guang was the strongest at present. The problem was that Kang Guang's actual combat ability was at the latter half among the six-level smelting soldiers of the Han Dynasty with about two hundred people.

By the way, Zhang Fei, who is rough but meticulous, could more or less realize that Kang Guang voted for him mostly because if he didn't vote for Zhang Fei, he was afraid that no one would vote for Zhang Fei, so he had to vote quickly.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and was also helpless. He knew many veterans who had worked under Zhang Fei, and some of them were super strong. For example, Zhao Ying was a top-level strong man who belonged to the regular competition and could be named one of the top ten veterans as long as he was not too unlucky. However, Zhao Ying would never surrender to Zhang Fei. Even though Zhao Ying had solved his mental problem, he still kept his distance from Zhang Fei.

"I think my martial arts performance is over this time. I'll just sit at the same table with Zhongkang." Zhang Fei turned his head and looked at Xu Chu who was still working hard at the side.

"Yide, what are you talking about?" Xu Chu put down the basin, wiped his mouth, revealed a ferocious smile, and a fierce aura came towards him.

"I think my martial arts performance is doomed this time. Let's be the referees then." Zhang Fei said to Xu Chu. Although he was somewhat unhappy, Zhang Fei also knew that the side effects of his legion's talent were indeed extremely serious. Although he could barely control it in the later period, the bad reputation in the early period was too great, causing the top veterans to run away as soon as they saw that the situation was not right.

"No, no, we have several brothers in Tiger Guard." Xu Chu shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he had a group of younger brothers who wanted to participate in the competition and could not accompany Zhang Fei to be a referee.

"How many Tiger Guards can there be? I actually have dozens of veterans, but I'm not optimistic about them. The strongest, Kang Guang, has at least reached the sixth level of smelting." Zhang Fei said with some dissatisfaction.

Only Kang Guang has reached the sixth level, while the others have not. Xia Zhu had reached the sixth level earlier, but was cursed by the world consciousness and reduced to the sixth level. Considering that he rarely went to the battlefield, he did not make any effort afterwards. He has been sharpening his skills temporarily these two days, but it seems that the effect is not very good.

"Hehehe, there are still a few." Xu Chu chuckled. The macho men under his command were still a bit tough, especially the talented Li He, who had successfully completed the refining of his naked talent after repeatedly feeling the talents of Xu Chu's army. Taking into account Li He's amazing physique, Xu Chu thought that Li He should take advantage of now to give it a try, maybe he could make it into the top 50.

Of course, if it was a ring match, as long as Li He didn't run into those evil guys, he might be able to make it into the top 30.

Taking into account Mu Yan, Tao Tong, and his brother Xu Yuan, these tough guys who are willing to worship him, Xu Chu thinks he has a great potential in this martial arts performance!

Zhang Fei felt like he was having a heart attack and decided to go back and use some precious secret medicine to strengthen Kang Guang's basic qualities, to see if he could get Kang Guang's ranking from 150th to within 50th place.

"Maintain the third place and strive for the first place. No matter the terrain and the competition system, as long as there is a resurrection match, it will be fine. I hope to keep three in the top ten." Hua Xiong has no pressure at all. There may not be many other things in Yongliang, but if you talk about fighting, it has been a place that has been talked about since ancient times.

There is nothing much to say about Zhang Yong. This is not a question of whether he is a macho man or not. This is a pure freak. Hua Xiong does not have the ambition of the Three Idiots, so he is just aiming to maintain the third place and fight for the first place. Zhang Ping has enough destructive power, but his performance needs to take the terrain into consideration. Regardless of normal performance, he should be able to fight for the top ten, and then if others work hard and get one more place, Hua Xiong's strategic goal will be achieved.

"That's true." Guan Yu nodded slowly. Even he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Hua Xiong said. After all, he had met Zhang Yong in the Ganges, and that was really outrageous.

"Big Beard, what about you?" Hua Xiong heard Guan Yu agree, so he asked with some curiosity.

"It's hard to say. If it's a ring match, I don't think my men can make it into the top 30." Guan Yu frowned. He has a bunch of elite veterans under his command, but he heard that the competition system has been changed to a ring match, and that this kind of martial arts performance does not allow killing. In this way, Guan Yu's men are doomed. The swordsmen cannot use their idealistic killing skills, so what advantage do they have over other opponents?

For this kind of competition, only the old Yellow Turban soldiers under Guan Yu are suitable to participate. The problem is that those old Yellow Turban soldiers are basically in their fifties or sixties now. Even if they have not retired, they are only used as commanders. It is questionable how much combat effectiveness they can have in actual combat.

Taking into account that the Yellow Turban veterans did not receive formal Imperial Guards education in their early days and did not follow the smelting route, there were very few Yellow Turban veterans who could reach the fifth level, let alone the sixth level. Guan Yu would be finished.

"Zhang Du and Chen Hong here said they just happened to have nothing to do and came to watch the fun, and I agreed, but I'm a little old." Zang Ba thought about his own situation. He didn't have much ambition. He could get some results, but don't expect to get good results. There are too many masters. If it were five years ago when Zhang Du was still at the end of his peak, he might have been able to make it into the top 30, but forget it now.

Well, the main reason is that Yin Zhi has not come back. If Yin Zhi comes back, he will definitely surrender to Zang Ba. Given Yin Zhi's situation, he can become one of the three pillars in the Zhang Yong Victims Association. His strength is absolutely guaranteed. There is pressure to be in the top ten, but as long as he is not too unlucky, it will not be a problem to rush in.

"Now it's actually a problem of the competition system. Huangfu Yizheng's ring match can only be part of the points system and cannot be the final match." Li You said slowly. He sounded as if he was talking about Huangfu Song's nonsense, but in fact Li You had already expressed his suggestion.

"If it's a point system, then we have to have a comprehensive competition." Guo Jia frowned slightly, "It's not good to have too many rounds and take too long."

"You can defend the ring. Defending the ring is the best way to prove your strength." Fa Zheng is actually more interested in the ring competition. As for the archers suffering a disadvantage, it doesn't matter. Zhao Zhen is also an archer. You see, Zhao Zhen doesn't think he is at a disadvantage.

“If it’s a comprehensive competition, there will be too many competitions, and there’s no need for local preliminaries now. The number of veterans who are eligible to be selected has exceeded one thousand, and some of them come not to win a place, but to see old friends and get some free food and drinks.” Jia Xu also didn’t quite agree with Li You’s point system. When there are too many people, the competition system cannot be too complicated.

This is also the reason why the competition proposed by Huangfu Song was approved.

"Teaming up isn't a good idea either. Some people who form a team on their own have friends all over the world, while others have enemies all over the map." Mi Zhu also leaned over and said, Huang Tao in front and Zhang Yong in the back, "Teaming up by drawing lots isn't a good idea either. Some of these guys are just there for fun. I've seen a bunch of them in the gambling house recently."

Winning or not is not important, what’s important is having fun!

It sounds outrageous, but when Mi Zhu went to Yuan's gambling house to study, he saw a group of bad guys like this. Mi Zhu was helpless about this, and what was even more distressing was that these people were all very strong, or to put it bluntly, weak people probably wouldn't be able to have fun.

"I don't care if they eat and drink for free. Ladies and gentlemen, the real grain price of the Han Dynasty has dropped to 42 coins per stone, and 4 coins and 2 cents per dou of rice." Chen Xi heard Jia Xu's words and said with a bit of heartache, "Let them eat as much as they want. All the participants will be provided with meals. When the time comes, we can borrow some imperial chefs to specially prepare a batch of special dishes and prepare them. You don't need to worry about logistics."

"Okay, Zichuan will take care of this. Let's study the competition system. Different competition systems have different advantages and disadvantages for different veterans, so you need to balance the competition system." Liu Bei said to everyone present with a smile, "There must be a ring competition. General Huangfu has sent the letter. It would be a bit too much to say that there is no competition."

"I think we can ask Xu Yue to test the pros and cons of the competition system. He is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing." Li You took out his trump card.
