At the beginning of the night, in the city of begging history, in the banquet hall of the royal palace. The crowd was surging, and most of the distinguished guests had arrived, but the main owner had not yet appeared. The anxious nobles exchanged ears and discussions, and worried looks hung on everyone's faces.

Li Huaitang had just returned from the training ground. Throughout the afternoon, he and all the soldiers continued to crawl and roll for several days.

The whole afternoon of training not only made the soldiers miserable, but Li Huaitang also felt deeply tired. Somewhat reassuringly, though, the results are starting to show. Violations of the order have quietly disappeared, and the assembly time has been greatly reduced.

After all, Hudu and Kuroko are from military backgrounds, and they can see the benefits of this monotonous and boring training method at a glance, and they appreciate it very much, and they admire Li Huaitang for having such a wonderful idea. According to the current training method, when instinctive execution of orders becomes a habit, the effect of orders and prohibitions will be well reflected.

Li Huaitang didn't have dinner with the soldiers, and Xiao Lizi had already asked people to tell him that the night banquet was about to start. After the soldiers had dinner, they had to carry out physical training, Li Huaitang left a few words of encouragement to the soldiers, and then let go of the team to the generals, and then took the right cavalry of the black tower and the right cavalry of Wei Anguo, and hurried back to the palace.

In the palace, Li Huaitang walked briskly and walked to the back hall of the main hall with Wumeng, who greeted him.

"Well, no one is absent. What the? Only more than eighty nobles did not come in person?"

Li Huaitang really hoped that all the nobles did not come, so that it would be more direct and save more trouble.

"Yes, there are more than a dozen people who tried to escape from the city, but were driven back by the city guards. They also all appointed their sons and nephews as representatives. ”

Umon continued.

"The city guards on duty have done a good job, and Mr. Lao Gongsun has rewarded them."

Li Huaitang was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.

In a surprised gaze, Li Huaitang sat on the throne, his face was dark, and he sent invisible pressure to the nobles present. Umeng, on the other hand, sat strangely to his left with a respectful expression.

"Everyone, please be quiet. It is a pity that His Majesty occasionally feels a little sick and is inconvenient to come, so I am specially ordered to come to receive you. Your Majesty also explained, please order whatever you want, just like a family banquet. It is a great pleasure to entertain you here in Lower Umeng. ”

Umeng gave an opening remark in high spirits.

Looking at the restrained crowd, Wumeng continued to comfort: "Come on, come, you're welcome, please eat first, please be considerate if you don't entertain well." ”

Everyone looked at each other, this, this is also called a banquet? Wine, no, meat, no. On the table, there is only a glass of water and some dates. Fortunately, they didn't really come to eat, they were silent, only to continue to be silent.

Wumeng drank a little water, put down the cup, still with a sense of peace on his face, and said with a smile: "It seems that you really feel at home, hehe, you have finished eating so quickly." ”

"Umon, what do you want to do? Let's put it bluntly. If it's all right, we'll have to go back. ”

Finally, someone couldn't hold their breath, after all, the old foxes didn't come in person, and the young nephews were a little young and vigorous. They knew Umon, and in their eyes Umon was nothing more than a dog of the king. Even if it was a king, wasn't he polite to them before? Now, the king has not appeared, and there is only this Umeng in front of them, how can these noble nobles endure it if they are so neglected.

Li Huaitang was about to kill chickens and monkeys, but he didn't expect that someone would come out to test the knife so soon.

"Smack!"

Everyone looked at it, and the young general on the throne overturned the wine case and was murderous.

As if he didn't hear a trace of disrespect in the young nobleman's tone, Wumeng kept a smile on his face and listened to Li Huaitang.

"Our general asked, 'Who is Your Excellency?' Do you have an invitation? ”

"Hmph, an invitation? Give it back to you! What bullshit generals, we only recognize the monarch. ”

The young nobleman disdained to answer Umeng's question head-on. If it weren't for the elders in the family who had explained it earnestly, he would have gotten up and left early.

Li Huaitang took the invitation from the soldiers, shook it in front of Wumeng's eyes, and listened to Wumeng's whispered interpretation.

"Humph! The invitation is for the master of the Arthur family, you are deceiving me. Come! ”

Outside the hall, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and the black tower and Wei Anguo entered the hall together to answer the order.

"The disciples neglected their duties, let outsiders into the temple privately, and beat those disciples to me until they were killed. This audacious impostor is on display! ”

Li Huaitang's order was cold and ruthless, with a fierce face and a murderous face.

"The general said, this person pretended to be Master Arthur's family, sneaked into the palace, had bad intentions, dragged it down, and cut it down!"

Umeng's words were a sensation, despite the suspicion of being a fox and a tiger.

"Wow!"

Everyone present couldn't help but exclaim. What's going on? If that were the case, wouldn't most of them have to be beheaded? This, who is this mysterious general, who is so bloodthirsty and violent, and can still make Wumeng bow his head to his ears.

With a fierce face, Black Tower and Wei Anguo pounced on the young nobleman, grabbed him and dragged him out of the door, letting him kick his legs and shout indiscriminately: "Umeng, you slander with blood, I am the eldest son of the Arthur family, and my name is MacArthur......."

Soon, the shout called MacArthur could not be heard, and a bloody human head was presented, and the head on the plate, a pair of frightened and empty eyes was none other than MacArthur, who had just been arrogant. And outside the hall, there was still a crackling and chaotic sound of canes and howls.

Everyone was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Please forget about these unpleasantness. Oh, where did I just go? ”

Such a bloody scene was gently brought by Li Huaitang, as if it had never happened. A sharp gaze swept by, and there was silence.

"Oh, by the way, it's the Arthur family, the Arthur family is very problematic, and they collude with the thieves to plot against them. Fortunately, I discovered and revealed it in time just now, and Arthur's family Ken is the remnant of Dadu Mo. ”

"If this thief is not removed, history will be difficult! Black Tower, bring me someone to raze Arthur's house, no one is allowed to be missed, and the property will be confiscated. ”

Li Huaitang continued to add weight to everyone's fearful hearts.

The bloody skull, as well as the terrifying and oppressive atmosphere, are enough to kill all hypocrisy and pretense in an instant.

Sedation? has flown to the country of Java.

Calm? Ditto.

The hearts of the nobles sank to the bottom of the water at once, and the two trembled, and the urge to urinate frequently.

At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they have already understood that the bloodthirsty general in front of him must be the legendary usurper, who controlled the king, oh no, what a general, he is simply a bandit, a bandit who kills without blinking, and kills unreasonably.

Li Huaitang had no doubt that the ecstasy sound of ghosts crying wolves outside the main hall, as long as he worked harder, the monkeys in the hall here would definitely be a thousand miles away.

The chickens have been killed, the monkeys have been respected, and any more would be overkill.

What should be done, has been done. Li Huaitang gracefully picked up the cup and took a sip of water, while handing Wumeng a look and letting him finish.

"Go on, keep drinking, let's keep drinking." Don't be afraid, I think everyone is His Majesty's honest people, and there is a clear difference between black and white with those black sheep. ”

The nobles trembled their hands and picked up the cup in front of them, not knowing whether to drink or pour it, and most of the water was wasted directly from the corners of their mouths.

"In the country of history, what do women and children know? That's the ambition of generosity! Taking advantage of His Majesty's dispatch of troops to support the suzerain, he delusionally wanted to kill the king and seize the throne. ”

"First of all, he collected warriors from all over the world with a lot of money and assassinated my lord. After the poison attempt failed, he tried to collude with the forces represented by Mi Lulu in the city to usurp the throne. Thankfully, our lord was wise and wise, and once again thwarted his plot. ”

Wumeng gushed endlessly, first splashing Abdullah's dirty water on Dadu Mo, and then replacing Kublai Duo's stealing beams with "my lord", and Wumeng's current lord is Li Huaitang, who is listening to his performance by his side. Hearing this, Li Huaitang couldn't help but wonder, Wumeng's horse kung fu is also very deep.

Ignoring the nobles who had already been frightened, Umeng cut straight to the topic: "There are many warriors in times of crisis. Although our lord had a discerning insight into the wolf ambition of Dadu Mo and made exquisite arrangements, he still could not avoid the deaths and injuries of the soldiers. After a terrible and bloody battle, the warriors now lack food and clothing, their weapons are broken, and their horses are insufficient. The warriors are so unbearable, and His Majesty is powerless. So, all of you, with your wisdom, you should be able to give a satisfactory answer? Now, you are safe, there is no worry about life, don't cross the river and tear down the bridge, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers! ”

Blackmail, naked blackmail! The king ran out of oil and water, so he came to rob us!

This was the first reaction of all the nobles.

His life was saved. This is the second reaction of all the nobles.

"Come, take a pen and a sheepskin, and leave valuable advice for our guests."

Umeng was very polite.

"I hope you will be generous, there is only one chance. If the soldiers are not satisfied and are forced to fetch it themselves, then don't blame me. ”

The black tower walked in front of the nobles with a few people, with big round eyes and a fierce look on their faces, and one by one sheepskins and pens were stuffed from his hands.

According to Umeng's meaning, each person had a lambskin, listed all the goods to be contributed, signed and pledged, and after obtaining permission, sent a servant home to inform him, and then the people and money were cleared. For the aristocracy, bleeding is already prepared, after all, there is no need to end up like that MacArthur, both people and money are empty. But the problem is, how much do you have to pay to get allowed? This Umeng knows everything about them, but it's not easy to fool them.

Umeng looked at the nobles who were a little embarrassed, patted his bare head, and blamed himself: "Ahhh I forgot to tell you that after today, horses, armor, saddles, silk, bows and arrows, and Tangnu, I don't want to find any stock in your homes or warehouses, otherwise, Arthur's family will be doomed. ”

In the end, under Umeng's repeated hints, all the nobles completed the homework assigned by Mr. Umeng with difficulty, and listed the property representing at least eighty percent of the family on a sheepskin. Fortunately, the bandits did not look down on their land, houses and most of the slaves, otherwise they would have gone bankrupt in an instant.
