    Chapter 645 The Mansion Festival Arrives

    Boom!Boom!

    When the warm sunlight poured down on Daxia City, the passionate sound of drum beating could be heard from the headquarters of Naluolan Mansion. Outside the gate of the headquarters, there were lanterns and colorful decorations, lion dances and drum beating, and the atmosphere seemed unusually festive.

    Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e stood outside the gate, watching this boiling scene.

    Guests kept arriving with gifts. These guests came from various forces, but they were basically just people from below. None of the leaders came. This was not because they didn’t want to come, but because the headquarters of Luolan Mansion was suppressed by the strange formation. None of the other powerful feudal lords wanted to feel the experience of being suppressed.

    And among these guests, there should be some prying eyes and those with malicious intentions.

    But Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e did not check or stop it, because it was of no use. These minions had no ability to change the direction of today’s big game.

    “For so many years of Luo Lan Mansion’s festivals, this one is probably the most complicated and thrilling.” Li Luo smiled helplessly at Jiang Qing’e. The Mansion Festival is the most lively and festive moment of Luo Lan Mansion every year. Those senior officials of Luo Lan Mansion who are usually outside will lead their crowds to the headquarters to report on the progress and harvest of the year. At this time, the two palace masters will also give rewards. This is the day that everyone in Luo Lan Mansion looks forward to most every year.

    But today’s mansion festival is obviously different from previous years.

    Jiang Qing’e nodded slightly and said: “In the future, Luo Lan Mansion will definitely return to its former glory. These hardships now will only make it stronger in the future.”

    “This bowl of chicken soup is good, I’m done with it.”

    Li Luo joked, then raised his head and looked around the towering pavilions around Luo Lan Mansion. At this time, there are probably many eyes on Luo Lan Mansion. Today’s Luo Lan Mansion is undoubtedly the focus of the entire Daxia City.

    “I would like to see how many hungry wolves can be attracted by the fragrant buns from my Luo Lan Mansion today?”

    When Li Luo’s eyes flashed with cold light, Yuan Qing, Lei Zhang and other senior officials of the Luo Lan Mansion who were loyal to the headquarters also led the crowd and bowed to Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e outside the headquarters gate.

    “Greetings to the Young Master, Miss!”

    Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e were both smiling and waving, while the housekeeper Cai Wei behind them ordered the maids to bring cups of hot wine to everyone. This was the past rule of the two palace masters.

    Everyone took the hot wine and saluted again.

    At this time, Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e suddenly raised their heads and looked forward. They saw that the crowd of onlookers there was divided, and waves of figures came like a tide, approaching directly towards the headquarters gate with a turbulent momentum.

    “Young Master, won’t you give me a share of this “merit wine”?” In front of the groups of people, Pei Hao’s figure was the most obvious. With a smile on his face, he looked directly at Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e, and then said.

    Upon seeing this, Yuan Qing’s face turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, he led the crowd to greet them. The strength of each other rose up, and the originally festive atmosphere suddenly became tense.

    The men and horses behind Pei Hao also immediately tightened their weapons and surged with strength.

    “Yuan Qing, do you want to break the rules established by the two palace masters? Or do you want Luo Lan Palace to start splitting directly outside this gate?” Beside Pei Hao, a gray-haired man frowned and said calmly to Yuan Qing.

    “Xu Tianling, do you still have the nerve to mention the two palace masters?” Yuan Qing said sarcastically.

    Mo Chen, who was also one of the three major worshippers, smiled lightly and looked at Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e: “Young Master, do you plan to keep all the old people like us in Luo Lan Mansion out during the mansion ceremony?”

    Li Luo stared at Pei Hao, Xu Tianling, Mo Chen and others indifferently, and then glanced at the vaguely familiar people behind him. These were all old people in Luo Lan Mansion, and they had given him gifts when he was young.

    “You are indeed considered old men of Luo Lan Mansion. You have also made great contributions to Luo Lan Mansion.”

    Li Luo was silent for a moment, then looked at everyone seriously and said, “For the sake of past achievements, I am here and want to ask you one last time. Are you really planning to follow Pei Hao all the way to the end of this house festival?”

    The faces of the pavilion masters and other senior officials behind Pei Hao looked slightly unnatural.

    Seeing this, Pei Hao smiled slightly and said: “Young Master, it’s already this time, why are you still saying these innocent words? Do you think we really have a way to go back?”

    Everyone behind him was silent.

    Li Luo shook his head and said no more.

    “But Young Master, if you really don’t want a dispute to arise in the Luo Lan Mansion today, the proposal I made at the Spring Lake Tower that day is still valid.” Pei Hao said.

    His proposal was naturally that he and Li Luo should share the responsibility of being the head of the palace.

    “White-eyed wolf, it’s already this time, why are you still saying these innocent words?” Li Luo smiled and sent back Pei Hao’s previous words intact.

    The corners of Pei Hao’s mouth twitched slightly, but the smile still remained on his face, but the temperature of the smile became a little colder.

    “Yuan Gongfeng, let them all come in. Although they are not guests, everything still needs to be done according to the rules.” Li Luo finally waved his hand. If Pei Hao is really prevented from entering the headquarters to participate in the mansion ceremony, it will cause more trouble. The black hands behind it will never sit back and watch this happen. By then, the situation will only be worse.

    After Li Luo finished speaking, he and Jiang Qing’e walked straight back to the headquarters.

    When Yuan Qing heard this, he could only snort coldly at Pei Hao, and then waved his hand to dismiss the guards.

    Pei Hao ignored Yuan Qing’s cold gaze. He stared at the headquarters door for a moment, then waved his hand and led everyone into the headquarters.

    When all the troops from both sides entered the headquarters, the continuous beating of drums sounded again, but this time the drums seemed to have more of a fighting spirit.

    In a square inside the headquarters.

    Everyone was seated. Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e were also sitting at the front. On the right side were Yuan Qing, Lei Zhang, Cai Wei and others, while on the left were Pei Hao, Xu Tianling, Mo Chen and others.

    At this time, there was a series of lively foreplays in the field, which was also the process in previous years.

    It’s just that this year, no one cheered for these foreplays. Under the seemingly lively atmosphere, the surging undercurrent made the atmosphere seem particularly depressing. Everyone’s eyes were filled with coldness, because they all knew that no matter how lively and festive the atmosphere was, they could not cover up the divisive war that would break out in the headquarters today.

    Today is destined to be a disaster for Luo Lan Mansion.

    Outside the headquarters, on a certain lakeside pavilion.

    A slightly taller middle-aged man in a green robe sat cross-legged. In front of him, a small fire was warming the hot wine. He looked at the excitement in the headquarters of Luo Lan Mansion with a smile, then poured himself a cup and chuckled: “Li Taixuan, this cup is a farewell to the Luo Lan Mansion you created.”

    On his robes, there were patterns of flames, which were the emblem of Ji Yan Mansion.

    And the man in green robe is none other than the master of Jiyan Mansion, Zhu Qinghuo.

    Sprinkling a cup of hot wine on the floor, Zhu Qinghuo looked inside the headquarters of Luo Lan Mansion again. In his eyes, there seemed to be flames slowly burning.

    “The powerful man who has been granted the title of Marquis hidden here in Luo Lan Mansion can actually fight with you this time.”
