Mayor's Office.

Li Ye hung up the phone, restless.

"How could it be ......" Li Ye frowned, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "It turned out to be that person's son." I said, "Why did I want to get that notebook that day?" ”

Lin Tuxiu, a very unfamiliar name in Li Ye's mind, does not mean that it has no weight in Li Ye's heart.

As it happens, this weight is not ordinarily heavy.

As a person in the system, he is also in a position of strength. It was impossible for him not to be unaware of the secret.

It's not much, but it's enough to shock him.

"Why did you think of inviting me?" Li Ye looked at the unfinished work on the desk, and said with a wry smile: "This is really difficult for me." ”

As the first secretary of the deputy mayor, this title is not small. Although he is a secretary, he is destined to scare many people to death if he throws this identity out. So, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to attend a private banquet.

Besides, tonight's desk work is no small one. Even Deputy Mayor Zhang Xiong is busy in his office.

"Forget it...... Li Ye shook his head and said, "In this situation tonight, I won't go." Let's ask him to have a meal another day in a private capacity. ”

Just as he was about to go to work again, Zhang Xiong, who appeared behind him at some point, coughed lightly and said loudly: "Li Ye, do you have any thoughts? How can I see that you are restless!"

"Ah......" Li Ye was stunned, quickly turned around and stood up, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, just walked down." When are you coming out?"

Zhang Xiong smiled slightly: "I don't even know when I came out, this god has gone far enough." Say, what is the matter? If necessary, I will deal with it at my discretion. ”

"Then I really said it. Li Ye said.

"Do you want to hypothesize? Zhang Xiong pulled out his chair and sat upright, posing as if he was listening.

"It's fine. Li Ye sighed and said, "Just let you help me get an idea." Yes, not long ago, at a charity auction, I met a young man. Courageous, caring, and made a lot of efforts in the charity auction. He just called and wanted me to go to a banquet. ”

Go on. Zhang Xiong looked at Li Ye with a smile.

He knew Li Ye very well, if it was just an ordinary banquet, he couldn't be so entangled. What's more, he is not the kind of person who uses the title of first secretary to jeopardize the reputation of the deputy mayor.

"It's reasonable for me to be there, and I should be there. Li Ye frowned and said, "But the origin of this young man is not small. You're the deputy mayor, and you've got a name you've probably heard. ”

"Who?" Zhang Xiong said, putting away his smile and being a little puzzled.

Lin ...... Fig...... Embroidery!" Li Ye said in a sonorous and leisurely tone.

"Lin Tuxiu?" Zhang Xiong was suddenly startled.

"What's wrong?" Li Ye looked at Zhang Xiong, whose expression had changed so much, in some surprise, and asked in amazement.

"Oh, nothing. Zhang Xiong realized his gaffe and hurriedly said, "I've heard this name." What's the matter, this banquet has something to do with him?"

"His son-in-law is back. Li Ye calmly recounted: "The young man at the auction that night was his son, Lin Luo. ”

"Oh......" Zhang Xiong answered, muttered for a moment, and said quietly: "I heard that Huang Qingcang held a banquet in Tan Mansion tonight, and he called you?"

"Well, there is such a thing. You were busy, so you turned it down. Li Ye said.

"In that case," Zhang Xiong smiled slightly, "Why don't we go to this Lin Gongzi's banquet?" You say, I, the mayor of the city, will I be turned away if I come uninvited?"

"Are you going?" Li Ye was stunned suddenly, and then overjoyed: "It is not a great honor for him to let Zhang Shi come to the door in person." ”

"Let's go, then. Zhang Xiong stepped towards the door.

Li Ye, who looked surprised and a little apprehensive, followed closely behind Zhang Xiong. He couldn't figure out why Vice Mayor Zhang Xiong, who never attended a private banquet, took the initiative to go to the banquet tonight for the first time?

Just when Zhang Xiong took the initiative to go to Huaihai Middle Road, the most prosperous section of Huashan Road, in a historic ancient mansion near the Hilton Hotel, Li Yanzhao, the grandson of the Li family, received a text message.

The content of the text message is concise and to the point.

but bold and reckless.

"For a while, only Brother Li and I are heroic. Qingxiu Hall said goodbye in a hurry, very nostalgic. We sincerely invite you to cook wine at No. 1842 Huaihai Middle Road tonight. Lin Luo. ”

"Lin Luo. In Li Yanzhao's mind, the picture of the night in the Qingxiu Hall flashed, his eyes sank, and he chuckled: "Self-proclaimed hero, it's really ridiculous." ”

He threw his phone aside, ignored it, sat down cross-legged again, and practiced the "Stone Tablet Heart Refining Technique".

The Seven Killings are originally against the Mandate of Heaven, and with the stone tablet complementing them, the power of the Seven Killings can be further enhanced. This is also the reason why Li Yanzhao did not pick other exercises, but chose this most difficult exercise.

It's just that this time, after he sat down cross-legged, he couldn't calm down.

After tossing and turning like this a few times, he suddenly got up.

Angry picked up the phone.

"Jiang Xiuwen!" Li Yanzhao took a deep breath and said, "No. 1842 Huaihai Middle Road, what is it?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiuwen asked, "Is it the Song Xinling Memorial Hall?"

"That's number 1843. Li Yanzhao said unhappily.

"Oh, then I don't know. I haven't paid much attention to it. Jiang Xiuwen replied.

"Then why are you still stunned, help me check!" Li Yanzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "The person from the Qingxiu Guild Hall sent me a text message and asked me to go to the banquet." ”

"I'm grooved. Jiang Xiuwen exclaimed, and said angrily: "He still dares to look for you? You wait, I'll check it for you right away......"

Hung up the phone and waited for nearly half a minute.

When the phone rang, Li Yanzhao picked up the phone with one hand and hurriedly said, "I found it." ”

"......" Jiang Xiuwen was speechless for a long time, and said with a strange expression: "Yanzhao, you really met your opponent this time." ”

"Oh......" Li Yanzhao dragged out his voice and chuckled: "In less than ten days, my 'Stone Tablet Heart Refining Technique' will be able to break through." When the time comes, when Xiuwei enters the late stage of internal strength, what is he fighting with me? What do you have to say, just say it, don't grind. ”

Jiang Xiuwen smiled bitterly.

In front of the powerful Li Yanzhao, he Jiang Xiuwen is only worthy of the horse's head. If it weren't for Li Yanzhao, he Jiang Xiuwen would be a prince in the pearl.

After a little hesitation, Jiang Xiuwen said cautiously: "No. 1842 is the private residence of the former Pearl King. ”

"What former Pearl King?" Li Yanzhao sneered: "In front of the Li and Lu families, the so-called Pearl King is a joke. This so-called 'Pearl King' is just a false name for façade. Who takes this seriously in a family with real heritage?"

The corners of Jiang Xiuwen's mouth twitched, and he said softly: "Yan Zhao, this one is different. ”

"What's the difference?" Li Yanzhao scolded angrily and hung up the phone directly.

Isn't it just a former pearl king? There is also the word "former". The son of a former Pearl King, what qualifications does he have to say that he has met an opponent this time?

He was originally angry with Lin Luo, but the most angry thing was Jiang Xiuwen's words.

He, Jiang Xiuwen, still doesn't know the background of the Li family? This is what a cat and a dog can compare?

Isn't it just a pearl king? Not to mention the King of Pearl, it is the high-ranking official of Mingzhu City, and when he sees him as the son of the Li family, he also has to be gracious.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiuwen's words, he might have listened patiently.

But this sentence, like adding fuel to the fire, directly angered him.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xiuwen, who heard the busy tone, looked stunned.

"Hung up?" Jiang Xiuwen smiled bitterly: "Why can't you finish listening?" If he knew that this man named Mingzhu King was the one who had made the Lu family decay for twenty years, he didn't know what his expression would be. ”

As Li Yanzhao said, there are only two families that can really be called a family in Mingzhu.

One family has been inherited for more than 170 years, and the ancestor is the Li family of Li Hongzhang, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty. That is, the family where he Li Yanzhao belongs.

One is the Lu family he mentioned. A family located on the famous Yan'an Road in Huangpu District, with a long history. Its heritage, traced upwards, can even be traced back to the famous military strategist Lu Xun of the Three Kingdoms.

In modern times, Lu Zheng, the ancestor of the Lu family, once bought half a pearl.

But no one would have thought that such a wealthy family like a giant tree would decline for 20 years in one fell swoop 20 years ago because of Lin Tuxiu.

If it weren't for this generation, a young man named Lu Junsi would bring the Lu family back to life with his big skills. Then, the family in Li Yanzhao's mouth is only his Li family.

It is precisely because of this noble bloodline in his bones that he is extremely disgusted with the word "Pearl King".

He knew that Lin Luo's strength was indeed enough to give him some threats. But that's about it. In addition to strength, there are too many things to rely on. Whether it is inheritance or family history, it is indispensable.

Only when he entered the Xuanmen did he know that worldly wealth was also an indispensable resource for cultivators.

With the wealth of his Li family, as long as one day, he can step into that door, enter the door that needs wealth to accumulate resources. The gap between him and this surnamed Lin will widen at an incalculable speed.

"It's just a realm of internal strength. Li Yanzhao snorted coldly and said, "Internal strength, at best, is to enter the door of Guwu." And inside Guwu, there is also a door. You only know how big the world is when you enter that door. ”

These days, he has been cultivating hard, and he has a new understanding of the "Stone Tablet Heart Refining Technique". The fear of Lin Luo is naturally much less.

Moreover, he specially went back to Xuanmen to inquire, and there was no such person in the sects.

How big can a loose cultivation without a sect become?

And "Stone Tablet Heart Refining Technique" is a real Xuanmen authentic technique. How can these worldly martial arts be compared?

Knowing Lin Luo's identity, Li Yanzhao threw his phone aside and sat down cross-legged again.

It's just that as soon as I sat down, my phone rang.

"This Jiang Xiuwen ......" Li Yanzhao got up angrily, picked up his mobile phone, and shouted angrily: "Is there an end?"

But when it comes to the eye, there is a long list of unfamiliar numbers.

"......" Li Yanzhao looked at it carefully, and finally connected: "Hey," he said angrily: "Which one?"

"I!Lin Luo!" Lin Luo's voice was sharp, with an undisguised conceit, and said quietly: "I think, it should be enough for you to find out my identity after taking so long, right? If you can't find this, you should really wonder if your Li family is in vain." ”

Rumble!

Li Yanzhao was instantly ignited. "Lin Luo, right......" The corners of Li Yanzhao's mouth twitched violently, and he said in a cold tone: "I will show up at your banquet on time." You wait, wait. ”
