Chapter 66: Stone Dragon Empire
The sunset glowed with the last touch of afterglow, the sky and the earth became dark, and night fell, and countless small stars were dotted in the dark blue sky.
After Du Shaofu returned to the courtyard, he had just taken a shower when he saw the backyard manager coming and said that the head of the family and the second master asked him to go there.
"Uncle, second uncle, are you looking for me?"
When Du Shaofu arrived at his uncle's study, his uncle Du Zhenwu and his second uncle Du Zhixiong were already sitting upright in the study, making people chat in a low voice, with their expressions slightly condensed.
Seeing Du Shaofu coming, Du Zhixiong signaled Du Shaofu to sit down and talk, and then asked, "Shaofu, you have been living in simplicity for a while and often no one is seen. Are you busy practicing? Your body seems to be getting stronger and stronger."
Du Shaofu sat upright on the seat beside Du Zhixiong, nodded slightly, and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so I'm practicing in the back mountain. I wonder what's going on with my uncle and second uncle who asked me to come?"
"Have you forgotten that three days later will be the battle between the younger generations of the five major families?" Du Zhenwu Weining's face appeared on his face, and he looked at Du Shaofu and asked softly: "How are you preparing?"
"Is it just three days later?"
Du Shaofu really forgot that he has been practicing day and night. The competition between the younger generation of the five major families in Shicheng has been left behind. Thinking of the Ye family's Lei Chi, a smile appeared on his face and said, "I've been preparing."
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu's gaze, and could not see any tension in his sharp and deep gaze, but instead expressed expectations, which made him a little confused. Is this kid really absolutely sure?
With his eyebrows slightly moved, Du Zhenwu said, "The Bi Hu family, Bai Tianming, Qin Xiaolu and the Qin family are not your opponents. I know your cultivation is not weak, but this time there are some minor changes, you have to pay attention."
When Du Shaofu heard this, he immediately asked, "Is there any special situation?"
Du Zhixiong said: "There are some special circumstances. This time, you are the only one participating in the Du family. You are the only one participating in the competition, and you are the other one representing the Du family."
"Why are I the only one?"
Du Shaofu suddenly became confused. In previous years, Du Shaofu had also heard of the competition between the younger generation of the five major families. The number of participants in each major family was limited to within fifteen. There could be fewer but not more.
Every time, the younger generation of each major family is full of fifteen people, and there will definitely be no fewer. Even if there is no hope of winning the championship, it can be regarded as a training and will also have great benefits for future cultivation.
Du Zhenwu smiled bitterly at Du Shaofu helplessly and said, "You have the nerve to say that Du Yan, Du Chong, Du Hao and others have been injured by you, and they have only recovered 50% or 60% and cannot get up at all.
Du Yu and Du Xue have good potential, but if they participate this time, they will not be able to participate in the next competition among the younger generations of the five major families. You also know that everyone can only participate once. Du Yu and Du Xue are the hope of the Du family winning the next time. It is really a loss to let them participate this time.
So after my second uncle and I discussed it, you might just let you represent the Du family alone in the competition, but this will also increase your pressure at that time. Judging from the situation of your offense to the Bai family, the B family, and even the Qin family, you will most likely be besieged by people from other families."
Du Shaofu looked slightly contemplative, and he also knew a little about the rules of the competition among the younger generation of the five major families. In addition to being unable to deliberately hurt people's lives and using powers and means that do not belong to him, there are no other rules, and it is completely a melee. Whoever can stand on the stage in the end will be the winner, and only the final winner can enter the Thunder Pool to practice.
Under this rule, it is particularly important for a family to join forces. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, and the wine is fragrant, and even if it is deep, no matter how strong it is, it will be unlucky if it encounters a siege.
"Why, are you not sure? If it really doesn't work, let Du Yu and Du Xue and the others go on, at least they can stop the pressure for you." Du Zhixiong looked at Du Shaofu's thoughtful expression, thinking that Du Shaofu was not sure. He also knew very well that once he was besieged, the consequences could be imagined.
"No need, I'll go alone, it's easier."
Du Shaofu looked up and smiled on his face, as if he was not worried too much.
"Shaofu, this matter is no joke. Even if the Ye family can stop one family for you, I believe that the people from the two families will be able to besiege you." Du Zhenwu reminded Du Shaofu.
"Uncle, I will do my best. If you want to siege me, you have to see if they have the ability." Du Shaofu smiled indifferently.
"Okay, you actually feel confident, so I, as a uncle, naturally believe in you."
Du Zhenwu looked at the sharp, deep and clear gaze, then nodded and continued to say to Du Shaofu: "In addition, what you need to pay attention to is Cao Qitai of the Qin family. This Cao Qitai may be your strongest opponent."
"How could anyone in the Qin family have a surname Cao?" Du Shaofu was puzzled.
"This Cao Qitai is the fiancé of Qin Xiaolu of the Qin family. He is half of the Qin family. He is not old, so he is also qualified to participate. You should not only pay attention to the strength of this person, but also pay attention to the identity of this person."
Du Zhixiong explained: "We have received news that Cao Qitai is young, but his strength is extremely strong. In addition, this person is the son of Cao Tianmang, the princess of Liuyun County."
"Liuyun County." Du Shaofu's eyes moved slightly. Liuyun County was a county outside the stone city, including more than a dozen cities larger than the stone city.
In the empire, there are counties above a city, and above a county is a prefecture, and above a prefecture is directly controlled by the empire.
In Du Shaofu's impression, Shicheng seemed to have always been a strange existence. It is said that since the founding of the Empire, although Shicheng was a small border town, it was not under the jurisdiction of the county or the government. After a long time, no one knew the reason. He only knew that although Shicheng was an imperial city, no one could control it, and only the five major families in the city stood.
"The empire we are in is called the Shilong Empire. Liuyun County is close to our Shicheng. Over the years, Liuyun County has always had the intention to gather my Shicheng, but he is also afraid of the existence of the Ye family's thunder demon lion. This time, Liuyun County intervened in the competition between the five major families and married the Qin family. I suspect that it has another purpose. The Ye family's thunder demon lion has changed. Not only other families are ready to move, but other forces are also unable to stop being idle. Alas..." Du Zhenwu finished speaking and couldn't help but sigh.
After chatting with my uncle and the second uncle for a while, Du Shaofu left the study and went back. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw the drunkard father at home. He was just as usual, he was drunk and lying on the rattan chair with the original old wine pot, snoring evenly.
