Banquet (15,000)
"It's not right for a man who wants to be a hero to despise everything. Because you seem to be domineering, but you are actually evading. ”
"You should hide your minions, the world is big, life is a hundred years, and the time has not yet come for you to use your minions."
"Those people bully you, and when the day comes when you roar at the Eastern Continent, they will be the first to pounce and lick your boots." - "Chu Emperor Nalan Chronicle"
A rising morning sun hangs quietly under the vermilion eaves, and the morning sun is glowing with a hazy orange-red light, reflecting on the towering eaves, rendering a beautiful color for the vermilion glazed tiles.
Above the horizon was a pure blue, like a blue crystal without the slightest flaw, and only a few white clouds without a trace of variegated color remained in the extremely high and far beyond the reach of the eyes.
"Chirp!"
A group of birds flew too low over the eaves alley, drawing a clever arc in the air, and finally landed gently on the leafy banyan trees.
There was already a lot of noise on the street, all of which were suppressed and frustrated by the sound of sales, greetings, and shouts, and the people of Liuyue City had already gotten up early and started their new busy day.
Wang Youcai stood in front of his own richly decorated falling window, one hand gently polished the fine white jade sculpture retrieved from Wanzhou, it is the best mutton fat jade, carved is a mighty and extraordinary eye-catching tiger, the hair is clearly visible, looking up to the sky and roaring, it is the state of the tiger descending the mountain.
He had not slept all night, and stood in front of the falling window for half the night, and when he looked up with his own eyes and saw the first glimmer of sunrise in the sky, his face was relieved and his mind relaxed.
"It's dawn!"
Wang Youcai was stunned and patted the white jade tiger statue in front of him, he didn't have the slightest scruples about what he thought, his fat body turned around with difficulty, swayed, and went to the ancestral hall of the family.
"The ancestors and ancestors are on top, the ninth generation of grandchildren have wealth and unfilial piety, bow here, if the ancestors and ancestors have spirits in the sky, I hope to bless the grandchildren in one fell swoop, and from then on they will be rich and noble, and their descendants will be blessed."
Wang Youcai knelt under the table, bowed deeply, his tone was solemn, and after getting up, his eyes were deep and deep, and his demeanor was like two people in the past at that moment.
"Brother Nian, are you spreading the news now?"
Xiao Wuduan on the side sat on the lower hand seat of Azule, looked at Azule who was chewing slowly and eating breakfast after washing, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, send people to send news to those of them, and do what I said yesterday!"
Azule's face was not as dignified as Xiao Wu's, full of clouds and lightness.
He was originally the son of Shuofeng who had just performed the new blood ceremony and commanded hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry to conquer the grassland, and he didn't know how many small tribes he had trampled under his horse's hooves, and even the long-term henchmen of the Shuofeng King's department, Helan Wang's department, were also destroyed under the scimitar of the iron cavalry he led.
He has never been afraid of war, but from the bottom of his bones he longs for a big war with blood splashed everywhere.
What Azul thought in his heart was very simple, if some small tricks could not achieve the original plan, then simply abandon it at that time.
He put on his horse, with a long knife in his hand, and there were more than 4,000 white horse righteous servants behind him who were willing to charge into battle and fight to the death, just burying his head and rushing over, and within half a night, this Liuyue City was naturally stable.
He never thought that things would happen in his hands that he couldn't control, he was already a little tired, even tired.
He no longer wanted to hide in a city in a secluded continent, and intrigue with a group of dark rats who had spent their lives in this Flowing Moon City, and test each other.
He had already received the news from the crow fence he had discharged a few days ago, and that thousands of miles away from him, in the very center of the entire Eastern Continent, the imperial capital of the last dynasty, was undergoing changes that were enough to make his blood tremble.
Azule couldn't wait, he wanted to participate in the Shura field that changed the pattern of the troubled times, and his stage should not be here.
"Xiao Wu, don't worry about it, you can do it best, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, there is a brother to give you a cover, if something goes wrong, I will go and kill it backhand."
Azule wiped his mouth with the white cloth handed by the maid, got up and stood up, walked to Xiao Wu, who was still a little worried, patted him on the shoulder, and said casually.
Xiao Wu seemed to be a little stunned for a moment, he had never felt this kind of confidence, or it could be said that he had never felt the confidence brought to him by his brother, but he was a little obsessed with this feeling at this time.
That feeling that you have nothing to fear, that you don't need to worry, that as long as you let go of it, someone will be watching you behind your back and protecting you.
"Brother Nian, I'm ......", Xiao Wu lowered his head and his tone was a little choked, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Little Wu, you have to understand now that our destination will never be here, Flowing Moon City is just a place where we live temporarily, and the place we are going to is still thousands of miles away.
We've been delayed for a short time, so we're going to pick up our pace.
If someone gets in the way, just kill them, it's never a difficult thing to kill, this Liuyue City is too light to make us so worried, look ahead, there is nothing here that can limit our existence. ”
After Azule finished speaking, he glanced at it with a smile, Xiao Wu's face had regained his calmness, nodded to himself, and went to the backyard to polish the strength in his body.
Azul is already preparing for some of the things he will do in the imperial capital.
He felt his body between every breath, the blood rushing all over his body, making him stronger, and the throbbing of blood no longer reminded him that it was time to do something really big.
"Oh, this person from the White Wolf Army invited me to a banquet in Taihe Tower tonight? Said that it was to make a covenant together, advance and retreat together? ”
On the outside, it looks like a slightly larger fishing boat, but on the inside, it is a unique cave, and the decoration is exquisite and ornate, and it is extremely magnificent.
A man sat on the bed covered with light gauze in the middle of the boat, looked at the banquet letter handed by his subordinates, glanced at it and seemed to be a little surprised, his face trembled, and he said disdainfully.
"Yes, chief, the person who sent this letter said that he would hold a banquet in Taihe Tower tonight and invite the heads of the families to discuss the alliance."
Outside the light gauze covered bed, there was a person standing in place, bowing his head and not looking at his face, and replied respectfully.
"Hahaha, I Liu Heihu thought that the person who claimed to be the White Wolf Army was so tough, but I didn't expect that it had only been more than a month, and he had already been scared, and he had already admitted it, he was really a soft-footed shrimp."
The bald head with a fleshy face sat on the bed with his bare body, holding the round snow white on the chest of the beauty next to him, and laughed loudly, his tone was full of self-satisfaction.
But when his mind relaxed between words, he couldn't help but exert more strength in his hands, which provoked the beauty who was obediently leaning on the bald arms to exhale in pain.
The bald head listened to this cry of pain for a while, only to feel that his body trembled violently, and he was in a mood to learn the good news just now, and it was already a refreshing time at this time, so he saw a smile.
pressed the naked beauty to the bottom of her body again, and the beauty couldn't stand the rough movements of the bald head, and she screamed in pain, but it made the bald head laugh and the movements on her hands were even more insignificant.
The man in front of the bed raised his head violently when he heard this noise, but in the end he lowered his head unwillingly, leaned over and closed the door, holding on to his hands with a dead hand, and his fingernails quietly entered the flesh without knowing it.
In the most prosperous area of Liuyue City, a mansion occupies an area of more than one street, which is the Li family in Liuyue City.
The Li family is a dragon and tiger, raising tens of thousands of servants, brocade clothes and jade food, and doing all kinds of evil.
This is a song that the people of Liuyue City have secretly made up, and they are already full of disgust for these two brothers who claim to be the dragons and tigers of the Li family.
"Big brother, big brother, hahaha, finally succeeded!"
Li Hu held a pair of invitations in his hand, and happily bypassed the garden pavilion from the other side of the mansion, and walked to the mansion where the eldest brother was, and yelled loudly before entering the door.
"What to shout, what to shout, early in the morning, frizzy, what a system!"
As soon as Li Hu entered the lobby, he saw his eldest brother leaning on an antique carved mahogany chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at him unhappily.
Li Hu smiled wryly, his eldest brother was always dissatisfied with his frivolous behavior, but Li Hu couldn't help but feel aggrieved, he didn't say anything about it, so he came up to blame himself first.
But Li Long has been accumulating prestige at home for a long time, the parents of the two brothers died early, and Li Long raised the young Li Hu alone, so Li Hu was always afraid of his brother.
always looked timid and frivolous in front of his brother, Li Long also looked at his younger brother like this, a suffocation spontaneously appeared, and his face became more and more displeased.
"Big brother, aren't I too happy to receive this news, so I will be overjoyed for a while!"
Li Hu touched his head weakly, sat on the wooden chair some distance from the eldest brother, handed the invitation in his hand to the maid serving on the side, and pretended to bow his head and taste tea.
"Oh, it seems that the people of the White Wolf Army are already scared, and they want to ask us to go over and draw a line."
Li Long took the invitation with one hand, glanced at it roughly, and then raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say.
"Big brother, you said, why did these people go a long time ago, they thought they had defeated a group of private troops, so everyone in their eyes didn't take us seriously!"
Li Hu was a little indignant when he thought of this, "Even that private army in Liuyue City has to take care of our two brothers, this white wolf army is good, they didn't say a word, they didn't say anything at all, they occupied several commercial streets in a grand manner, they were really bold and reckless, and no one was in sight." ”
Li Long didn't speak, but his face was a little unsightly, he and others have always been used to being respected, and this is the first time he has eaten someone else's closed door.
"It's good now, you and my brother have joined forces with other forces to give him a little look, he is also a tamed tiger, and he will obediently give us a soft face!"
Li Hu said this, his eyebrows fluttered, and he was full of pride for a while, "What does it mean that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, they finally understand this sentence!" ”
"Ahem," Li Long glanced at the sky outside the window without any emotion, and coughed softly.
"You can't relax your mind at any time, it's good that there are three or four thousand private troops, don't slap other people's faces too much, you and my brothers just talk about these words, don't talk too much in front of outsiders, and lose people's face!"
Li Hu saw that his eldest brother was putting on a cold face again, staring at himself, and telling himself word by word, and his head couldn't help but grow again for a while.
"Big brother, I know, I'm not stupid, I'm just saying these words in front of you and my brothers, I'm not so carried away!"
Li Hu was afraid that his eldest brother would give him another lesson in Chunchun, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"That's good, I only have one brother of yours, when I am usually there, I can still defend you, if it is no longer in the future, who can listen to your great and joyful character!"
Li Long didn't know what he remembered, and sighed lowly, but his face was a little lonely.
Li Hu was also uncomfortable when he saw this, although he was not very close to his eldest brother, but he was also a blood brother, and he had seen his brother like this on weekdays, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Big brother, where is this, the eldest brother is not confused, just like the sun at noon, it is the time when you and my brothers establish a grand cause, how many days in the future, you must not say such a thing!"
Li Long also knew at this time that he had just lost his temper in front of his brother, and when he heard such intimate words from his brother, he felt hot in his heart for a while.
Li Long also cleaned up his mentality for a while, stopped saying frustrated words, stood up and walked to Li Hu's side, and said softly.
"Since the people are soft first, then we will catch it steadily, and we will go to the banquet tonight, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, so that the slaves at home are ready, you go down first and pick three or four hundred sturdy slaves to wait outside the restaurant in secret, and the other slaves are also placed not far away, and it must be too peaceful after tonight!"
Li Hupestle was a little unnatural beside his eldest brother, and he spoke slightly crampedly, "Isn't the eldest brother too cautious in this arrangement, didn't the invitation sent by the people of the White Wolf Army say that it is the White Wolf Army and all parties to negotiate an alliance with various forces, and if we don't see the sword soldiers, we won't hurt the peace, will we be misunderstood by others?" ”
That Li Long is always an old god, his eyes are meaningful, and he sighed disdainfully, "Do all the preparations to be perfect, so we let the slaves hide in it, and it's right to be prepared on time when things happen!" ”
Then Li Hu saw that his eldest brother had made up his mind, and he was a submissive character, so where did he dare to reason with his eldest brother.
I had to bow my head and weigh, the eldest brother was reasonable, so he turned around and went down to choose a sturdy slave, but when he left, Li Hu secretly thought in his heart that the eldest brother was really making a big fuss, and it was really not worth it to make a big deal for such a simple thing.
There are more than a dozen streets in Liuyue City, which are different in size, and the scale is also different, there is Phoenix Street, which is full of vendors and extremely prosperous as soon as it is renamed, and there are naturally dilapidated and desolate small streets that are all coolie pawns.
"Where's the dog? Where is the dog, there is something important! ”
A middle-aged man with a mustache in a slightly embroidered robe grabbed a thin man who was walking towards him.
"Dog? The dog master is in Zhongshan Hall, he just got up, Jia Ye, do you have something? ”
The thin man was walking with his head down, but he was grabbed by someone, and his face was immediately a little displeased, but he looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a mustache, and replied with a smile.
"Okay, it's good that the dog master is here, I have something important!"
The middle-aged man gently stroked his neatly trimmed mustache, flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned around to leave.
"Hey, Master Jia, what's the matter, I'll listen to it too!"
The thin man asked curiously.
"If you don't ask, don't ask, you don't understand it in your heart?"
The man who was called Jia Ye frowned, slightly dissatisfied, glared at the thin man, and turned around and left after unhurriedly speaking.
After watching the middle-aged man walk away, the thin man spit out a mouthful of yellow phlegm on the ground, touched his nose disdainfully, and cursed in a low voice.
"I called you Jia Ye, do you really think of yourself as a master? It's all the same as doing coolies, you Jia San is just lucky to know a few words and was chosen by the dog master to be a long-term follower, so he's fucking arrogant! ”
The thin man cursed incessantly and walked away.
"Master Dog, what a happy event!"
The middle-aged man with a mustache crossed the threshold in two or three steps, arrived at the so-called Zhongshan Hall, and saw the man sitting in the hall with a little gray hair and beard, and leaned over and shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Jia San's eyes rolled a few times, touched his mustache, and said slowly with a somewhat bought look.
"I went out on the street today, but I met the messenger of the White Wolf Army at the corner of the street, and they sent us an invitation, saying that they were going to invite you to a banquet tonight!"
Na Jia San looked respectful, and handed the ironing post to the old dog sitting in the hall.
"Oh, yes, it's not easy for such a big man to look up to a character in the mud like my old dog."
The old dog took the post and handed it to the reading attendant on the side, listened with his ears, and after a while a smile appeared on his face.
"Who dares to look down on the dog master, to put it mildly, the dog master has tens of thousands of bitter haha, pickpockets, beggars, to put it mildly, you are the god in the dark of this Liuyue City!"
Seeing that the old dog looked happy, Na Jia San hurriedly leaned forward and said in an extremely flattering tone.
"Hahaha, Jia San's mouth is really eloquent, haha, the sky in the shadows of Liuyue City!"
The old dog sitting in the hall heard the compliments of his servants, and was in a good mood for a while, pointing to Jia San under the hall and laughing.
Where did the other people in the hall think that this Jia San would be such a shameless flattery, and when they saw the old dog's happy smile for a while, they could only go with the flow and say one after another.
"Haha, go to the banquet, go to the banquet tonight!"
