Chapter 303: Drawing Lots

Five days later, in the Qinghe Market discussion hall, representatives of the four major families of Qinghe County, Huang, Gao, Song, and Lu, had all arrived here.

Although Feng De was a young cultivator who had just established the foundation not long ago, because Qinghe Market was his main territory, he still sat in the upper seat in such an occasion.

"Fellow Daoists, this sect edict requires the conscription of Foundation Establishment and above cultivators to go to Lu Kingdom to resist the Heavenly Sea Alliance. I think everyone knows a little bit about it.

The conscription order this time says that everyone should go to Lu Kingdom in turns. Our Qinghe County is a relatively small county, so this time we only need to send one person first, and rotate once every year.

As for who goes first, for the sake of fairness, I have prepared four talisman papers that I made myself. Let's determine it according to the order of drawing lots for each family. Everyone has no opinion, right!"

"Fellow Daoist Feng's preparation is indeed very appropriate. We have no opinion, let's do it according to what you said!" Lu Xingde saw that the other three families did not express opposition, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed with a smile.

Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Feng De took the bag containing the four talisman papers and placed it in front of Lu Xingde.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please first!"

Lu Xingde nodded with a smile and took the lead in drawing a talisman paper.

Subsequently, Gao Yubai representing the Gao family, Huang Shengyue of the Huang family, and Song Qingming also drew the talisman paper belonging to them from Feng De's hand.

Injecting his magic power into the talisman paper in his hand, the yellow talisman paper instantly showed a faint blue light, and then a burst of red flame suddenly emerged from the blue light, forming a big "two" in front of Song Qingming.

Looking at it this way, the Song family should be ranked second in rotation. The luck this time was slightly worse.

Looking around, Gao Yubai and Huang Shengyue were okay, and their faces were very relaxed. Only Lu Xingde, who was still smiling just now, suddenly lost the smile that had been hanging on his face, looking at the "one" on his body that was a bit of an eyesore.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lu for winning the first prize and setting an example for our Qinghe County. Fellow Daoist, when you go to the front line of Lu Kingdom, you must give us more face. When you come back in the future, you can explain the survival skills of the front line to us, haha."

Seeing that the one who drew the first was this guy who only cared about the Dao path, Huang Shengyue, who drew the last, couldn't help but step forward and mock him.

Facing Huang Shengyue's sarcasm, Lu Xingde responded with a bitter face: "Fellow Daoist Huang, rest assured, Lu is just taking a step forward. Everyone has a chance to save face."

Lu Xingde's words were actually a bit self-deceiving. The war between the Lingyin Sect and the Heavenly Sea Alliance, although larger in scale than in the past, has also caused no small losses to the Fuyun Mountain Range side. But discerning people know that the "four" in Huang Shengyue's hand, which is the latest to go to the front line, is definitely the best one at present.

Every year such a big battle is fought, the materials consumed by both sides are massive. It is hard to say how long the front line can fight. There is a great probability that when it is the Huang family's turn to go to the front line, the whole battle will be almost over. This is also the biggest reason why Huang Shengyue could be so smug when she drew the last sign.

Not only her, but even Gao Yubai, who has always been Lu Xingde's ally, was also smiling helplessly at Lu Xingde and shaking his head slightly. He also knew that no matter who drew the first, as long as it was not the Gao family, it would be fine.

Seeing Lu Xingde's dejected look, Feng De, who was standing in the upper seat, looked at everyone seriously and said: "Fellow Daoists, please rest assured. Conscripting you to the front line is not to let you fight to the death with others.

The sect only conscripts everyone to the front line to help guard some relatively important places and will not arrange for everyone to go directly to the front battlefield. In the future, everyone does not need to be too panicked because of this."

Although Feng De's words sounded very good and were what everyone wanted to hear most, the people present did not take his words seriously. Although the Xiaoyao Sect says it well now, it will be different when they reach the front line. When the crisis really comes, who will remember the verbal promises made by the people below now? When you are ordered to go to the front battlefield, it is enough to give you a temporary order.

To the front line of Lu Kingdom thousands of miles away, the danger level of this level of war is no less than the demon beast turmoil of that year. Even if you are allowed to hide in the second line to escort materials and guard important strongholds, such a job is not absolutely safe. If you are unlucky enough to encounter an enemy sneak attack or robbery, whether you can survive smoothly still depends on your own ability.

After walking out of the Qinghe Market discussion hall, Song Qingming was also worried. The Song family drew the second rotation. With such a large scale of fighting this time, Song Qingming also knew that the war would definitely not end so early. That is to say, he had at most only one year left, and the Song family must send someone to the front line.

Song Qingyu has only established the foundation for a few years, and the injuries from the last market battle have not fully healed yet. Song Qingming will not rest assured to let her go to such a dangerous place as the front line of Lu Kingdom, so it can only be himself.

However, before that, he must handle the things Long Feng entrusted to him first. Otherwise, if he encounters any accidents, and the things promised to Long Feng are not done well, the entire Song family might be in big trouble. These people are definitely difficult to bear the anger of a demon king like Long Feng.

Not long after walking out, Song Qingming suddenly received a sound transmission from not far behind him, so he had to stop and turn around and walk into a small teahouse not far behind him.

Although this teahouse is not big, the location is quite good. It's just that it's still morning, and there are not many people wandering on the street. There are only a few guests in the teahouse.

After walking into a small private room, Song Qingming saw a man who was pouring tea. He was none other than Lu Xingde, who had just won the first prize.

"Fellow Daoist Song, come and sit. It's really a great pleasure for me to have you come here!"

Seeing Song Qingming come as promised, Lu Xingde hurriedly smiled and welcomed him into the private room, smiling and helping him pour a cup of fragrant tea that nourishes the spirit.

"Fellow Daoist Lu invited me here, I don't know what the important matter is?" After Song Qingming sat down, he didn't exchange too many pleasantries with him and asked about the purpose of his invitation directly.

Lu Xingde smiled when he heard this and said: "Brother Song, I have already decided to take a step forward. We are all cultivators in Qinghe County. Although our two families occasionally have some conflicts, we have also shared troubles together. I am too busy to leave in two days, and I really don't have time to go out to purchase spiritual items. I wonder if you can help me transfer a few spirit talismans to me."
