Chapter 36: The Show Begins! (Ask for tickets, ask for favorites, ask for booklists!)
Outside Heyuan City, thirty miles, Anyang Town.
In an exquisitely decorated mansion, a dozen young men were drinking in the hall.
These sons and brothers, all of whom are young masters and elites with status in large and small families in Heyuan City, were invited by Li Ming to come over for a banquet in the name of celebrating Xiu's breakthrough.
"Everyone, come, let's toast Li Shao and congratulate him on breaking through the middle stage of inspiration!" The first square-faced young man surnamed Yang who sat under Li Ming was the seventh son of the Yang family, named Yang He, this person was an acquired ninth-order martial artist, and Li Ming was a cousin.
"To Li Shao!"
"Congratulations to Li Shao. ”
"Congratulations!"
“......”
Everyone echoed one after another, there are more than 30 large and small families in Heyuan County, but the Li and Yang families are the most powerful, and many families have to rely on these two families to live, and they are almost the same as vassals, so they naturally dare not slack off.
Li Ming smiled and raised a glass in return, but it was a bit far-fetched.
This banquet, on the surface, is to invite the sons of various families to gather by virtue of their own breakthrough, but in fact, it can be regarded as a federation that takes a stand in the current situation.
Thirty-two families, but less than half of them came.
Originally, the characters that each family should have sent were either the sons who inherited the family business, or the elites who cultivated to have good talents, but this time, most of the sons of the world shirked with various excuses.
If it weren't for him, Li Ming had other plans, I'm afraid he would have been unable to help but leave the table a long time ago.
"A group of rats and grass who can't see the situation clearly! If I take charge of the family power in the future, I will definitely annex all those who didn't come to the banquet today!" Li Ming thought secretly in his heart.
"There's no news from the city yet?" Li Ming looked at one of the guards behind him.
"Back to the young master, the news came a quarter of an hour ago, and Shen Guang was still chatting with the target. ”
"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
"No, that Shen Chai has been staying in the City God Temple, and has not returned home, and no suspicious characters have appeared. ”
"Keep an eye on it! As soon as the target leaves the city, send someone to bring it here. ”
"Yes, young master, my subordinates must ......," the guard was saying, but suddenly there was no follow-up.
Li Ming looked back, but saw that the guard was slightly excited: "Young master, the news just came that the target has been deceived out of the city by Shen Guang!"
"Out of the city?!" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily. "Haha, okay! Quickly send someone to bring it here!"
"At the same time, according to the original plan, find a way to inform Shen Chai of this news! Let him not bring the Dao Law Token and come here alone!"
"Yes. The guard nodded.
"Everyone!" Li Ming saw that the plan was working, and immediately smiled proudly, and raised his glass to the distance. "A good show prepared by the little brother for everyone is about to be staged, come, everyone, drink very much!"
"Have a good show?!"
"Haha, Li Shao said it was a good show, so it must not be fake!"
"I'm really looking forward to it, come, drink!"
"Thank you, Li Shao. ”
"Li Shao, what's the show?"
The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and Li Ming smiled comfortably: "Don't worry, when the time comes, everyone will naturally know!"
"In the past, the deputy head of the martial arts squad was rebelled by my Li family, and now he has caught this Shen Chai's father-in-law, I heard that this Shen Chai is a person who values love and righteousness, so that whether it is killing or surrendering, it is all in my thoughts. ”
Li Ming, who felt that the overall situation had been decided, suddenly wanted to change his mind, and had a hint of the idea of surrendering to Shen Chai.
"Once it succeeds, the two major figures of the county government have taken refuge in my Li family, then it will be reliable and bring back the disadvantages of the previous few days! The rest of the families will also reassess the strength of my Li family! Fall back to my Li family! Haha, when the time comes, I want to see how Wei Wenhe feels!"
"Catching a Shen chase and weakening the strength and prestige of the county government is to increase the winning side of my Li family, and at the same time, it can also win over a group of small families, which is simply a triple win!"
Li Ming, who was drunk, seemed to have seen the scene where Shen Chai gritted his teeth and had to obey his orders......
............
"This little brother, how long will it take to get to that nobleman's mansion?"
"This little brother, are my wife and daughter really alive?"
"This little brother, have you seen them with your own eyes?"
"This ......"
"Damn old man, shut up! Throw you down again!" the warrior who drove the car scolded impatiently.
From the moment he got into the carriage, this old man has been asking questions, and at the beginning, in order to appease the old man's heart, he will deal with a few words.
But after more than ten miles of travel, this old man has never stopped, and his head is about to explode so loudly!
If it weren't for the young master's explanation, he would have sent the target unscathed, I'm afraid he would have been unable to slap this dead old man to death.
"Okay, okay, don't ask. Shen Chai muttered and put down the curtain and sat in the carriage.
The smile gradually disappeared, and Shen Chai contemplated the route of the carriage along the way, and sneered in his heart.
"The flowing gold mask is worthy of being a life-saving thing at the bottom of the Wugu pressure box, and along the way, close contact, even physical touch, did not find my disguise. ”
"In order not to make me suspicious, I didn't even search my body, and even the Dao Law waist card and the divine edict let me hide it well. ”
Along the way, Shen Chai's disguise was surprisingly smooth, and as soon as the other party saw the target appear, he didn't even care about Shen Guang's whereabouts, and directly hurried with himself crazy, but let him not worry about Shen Guang being exposed.
Time passed slowly, and Shen Chai took the opportunity of questioning from time to time to write down the surrounding routes, and then sent them back to the county office.
In the middle, the groom changed three times, all the way from the ninth order of the day after tomorrow, until he finally changed to an innate martial artist, and Shen Chai stopped the communication for the time being and said no more.
"Here, old man, come down. A familiar voice sounded, and Shen Chai was slightly stunned, because the owner of this voice was none other than He Tong, the deputy head of the former martial arts squad and re-entering the innate realm!
He Tong was keenly observant, and soon discovered Shen Chai's abnormality: "What's wrong?"
Shen Chai's heart was beating wildly, but he immediately calmed down and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”
He Tong sighed slightly: "You should have seen me, speaking of which, your righteous son Shen Chai is still half my apprentice." ”
"Oh. Shen Chai was a little angry when he heard this, and pretended to suddenly realize. "It's you, my lord, why are you here?"
He Tong's eyelids drooped, he didn't dare to look at Shen Chai's eyes, and he didn't dare to answer this question, so he had to change the topic and said, "You come down, you're in the place." ”
Shen Chai nodded hurriedly and got out of the carriage.
It is a lavishly decorated mansion that passes through pavilions and waterside gardens.
Shen Chai secretly sensed the surroundings and estimated the strength of the enemy.
"Not counting He Tong, there are at least four or more innate masters, how can there be so many masters here?!Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is a big fish?!"
He felt a little tricky, these innate, I can only roughly sense, the specific small realm, but I can't find it.
originally planned to kill as soon as he saw the mastermind behind the scenes, but at this moment, Shen Chai changed his mind.
From the moment He Tong drove the carriage, he had cut off communication with the county government, and he had to set aside a period of time to wait for the people on the county government side to find his course of action.
"Young master, the people have been brought!" followed the guards to a hot hall, and Shen Chai saw that a banquet was being held inside, and almost all of the people present were young boys!
Especially Li Ming on the main seat, which surprised Shen Chai!
"No wonder there are five innate masters, there are so many powerful children, if it is properly arranged, almost half of the children of the family can be wiped out!"
Shen Chai became more and more cautious, in the past, there was still peace between the county government and the family, and the struggle was all in the dark.
Now that he has turned to the bright side, naturally he doesn't have to worry too much, even Li Ming will also break the treasure that covers his sins and kill him!
"Haha!" Li Ming got up from his seat, walked down the steps, and pointed at Shen Chai. "Guys, the appetizer for the show has arrived!"
Shen Chai pretended to be a little frightened, lowered his head and took a few steps back.
Li Ming glanced at Shen Chai a few times, then took the wine glass and said to the people around him: "Do you know, who is this?"
"I don't know, Li Shao, who is this?"
"Why did you bring a bad old man here, dirty. ”
"What is this person's identity?"
The crowd was gossiping.
Li Ming gritted his teeth and said: "You also know that recently, Na Wei Wenhe, who was extremely shameless, ordered his minions to secretly attack my Li family and Yang family!"
"And among them, there is Wei Wenhe's right-hand man, named Shen Chai!"
"Two or three months ago, this person was only the seventh order of the day after tomorrow, but now he has been promoted to the ninth order of the day after tomorrow, and he has achieved great success in the ruler method and body method, and in just half a month, he can invite the gods twice!
"What......? It's so powerful. ”
"This Shen Chai, I have never heard of it, came out of nowhere. ”
"The promotion speed is so fast, it must be extremely talented, but it is a pity that it is an eagle dog of the imperial court. ”
Li Ming sneered: "This person is against our family, he doesn't repent, and now he is hiding in that Heyuan City and not going out, but how can my Li family make him feel better?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is standing in front of you is this Shen Chai's father-in-law!"
He Tong, who was standing outside the main hall, clenched his fists slightly, and then sighed slightly.
"Father-in-law, what's the big deal with just one father-in-law, I have seven or eight father-in-law, but Li Shao is making a big fuss. ”
"What kind of drama is this? Could it be that Shen Chai will still surrender for the sake of a righteous father?"
"That is, if you want to arrest it, you must arrest your biological parents, wives and sons!"
A dry boy can drink his head, and at this time in disappointment, his words are a little straightforward.
Li Ming saw that everyone's reaction was different from what he expected, and immediately hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this Shen Chase, I have carefully investigated, he only has this one relative, and he was adopted seven years ago and raised by his stepfather." ”
"I once heard that three years ago, his stepfather was seriously ill, and he turned down all his public office, and took care of him for seven days and seven nights without sleep, eating and lodging. ”
Seeing that everyone still didn't believe it, Li Ming was also a little anxious, pointed to the tip of Shen Chai's nose and asked, "Old man, tell me yourself...... Your righteous son will come to your rescue at the cost of his life?"
Shen Chai took a few steps back in a panic, and fell down at a table with a knife, as if the conversation was frightened, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.
Shen Chai was about to run, a trace of annoyance flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he stepped forward quickly, about to capture Shen Chai.
"Good opportunity!" Shen Chai's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam.
At this moment, Shen Chai, who estimated that the time should be almost up, pulled out the long knife on the waist of that son's brother at an extremely fast speed!
The bright steel knife was held in his hand, and Shen Chai's figure suddenly returned to its original appearance in an instant.
A cyan token appeared in his left hand, and three extremely dazzling golden rays erupted in an instant, merging into Shen Chai's body.
At the same time, he swung the knife with his right hand, and the first style of the falling snow knife method - slashing the cang, slashed at Li Ming's head at a very fast speed!
"What, you, you, you ......" Li Ming felt a great crisis, and his scalp was about to explode.
Just in an instant, he felt that a life-and-death crisis was coming!
