Li Bashao originally wanted to bring Wang Er's and other village elders into the hall. Wang Er stretched out his head and glanced at the guests in the hall, all of them were fine silk clothes, and at first glance, they were either rich or expensive, and immediately excused himself, "Eighth master, we countrymen, we can't see the big scene, so let's eat on the long street." If we let us in, we might not even dare to eat the food. ”

Li Bashao thought about it, and this is also the reason. But he can't snub these villagers. They are the real backbone of the vast countryside of Yingtianfu. Each villager is elected by the whole village, and every word they say can affect the will of the whole village. It is necessary to let these villagers realize the nobility of their identity. Only then will they cling to the Protectors, and no force will try to pull them away.

The prestige of the Emperor Song has fallen to the bottom, and the reason why the Zhao and Song dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River in history were nostalgic by the remnants of the Central Plains was simply because the successive regimes in the Central Plains were too poor, whether it was Amitabus Buddhism, the Red Turban Army, all kinds of grass cowards, or the Jin regime, it was completely a cannibalism of beasts and people.

Yue Fei obviously understood this truth. This is also the reason why Yue Fei let go of the horse and did not ride, and was willing to accompany Wang Er and the others into the city on foot. Along the way, Yue Fei kept asking about the situation in the countryside, which flattered and sighed to the villagers.

Who knows that the surprise of the old man is not over yet. After Li Bashao took Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e into the building, the prefect Huang Zong walked out of the building again, and toasted each villager with a smile on his face.

When did these townsmen eat a glass of county lieutenant's wine? Although they were known for their prestige in the village, they were still under the air of the white servants outside. Today, I actually got the treatment of personally leading the way by the training envoy of the Protector Legion, as well as the intimate conversation of the eighth master, and now I have eaten the toast of the prefect.

Many villagers were so excited that they trembled all over, and they couldn't even hold the wine glass in their hands. Wang Er snorted and said, "Lord Huang, you are a Wenqu star, I can eat your glass of toast today, and I have no regrets when the little old man dies." ”

Huang Zong drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, lit up the bottom of the glass, and then said to Wang Er with a smile, "I'm not a star, you villagers are the peace star of our Yingtianfu." ”

Of course, Huang Zong was specially called out by Li Bashao to accompany the guests. Today's Li Bashao's birthday banquet, the busiest person is not Li Bashao, nor Li Xiao'e, but Huang Zong, the prefect.

Huang Zong was thoughtful, he went out of the city to rescue Mulan Village a month ago, and was ambushed, guessing that there were still traitors of Amitabus Buddhism in Yingtian City. He originally wanted to take a big claim to the whole city, even if he couldn't find the traitors, he would also deter those who wanted to be unfavorable to the Protector Army. But Yue Fei and Li Bashao disagreed, thinking that Ying Tian had just calmed down and was in shock, so it was not appropriate to use swords again.

In the end, Huang Zong could only investigate quietly, but until now, he has not found any clue. Most of the spies of Amitabha Buddhism are very well hidden, and they cannot be found out in a moment or a half.

This time, Li Bashao's birthday banquet was organized from the day it was organized, and Huang Zong was involved in the whole process. Because there were too many people who came to celebrate his birthday, the Bafanglou family couldn't undertake it, so they could only co-organize it with the other three big restaurants in Yingtianfu, and borrow the chefs from the other three restaurants. All the chefs were personally seen by Huang Zong, and all the ingredients were personally purchased by Huang Zong, for fear that something would go wrong in the middle.

In order to be foolproof, Huang Zong and Zhang Xian borrowed hundreds of elites from the Protector Army, put on the costumes of the restaurant guys, and were responsible for serving dishes. When the flowing water banquet outside began to be served, Huang Zong, as a great prefect, was actually supervising the work in the kitchen at that time.

It wasn't until he ate a few stubbles and none of the guests had any problems that Huang Zong walked out of the kitchen sweating profusely. Although Li Xiao'e admired Huang Zong's prudence, she always felt that Huang Zong was too careful. My father has a birthday banquet every year, and there is no problem. Although in previous years it was not so public, there were not so many guests.

Huang Zong didn't know why he was so careful, and he always felt that something was going to happen in his heart. Therefore, he specially told a few elites of the Protector Army to not leave Li Bashao an inch.

It wasn't until Yue Fei and Li Bashao walked into the hall that Huang Zong breathed a sigh of relief. Since there is nothing wrong with the chef and the guys in the kitchen, and Li Bashao has Yue Fei's protection, he can finally go to the street to relax. By the way, meet those villagers.

Huang Zong implemented the Lantian Township Covenant in Yingtian, because he felt that this kind of township elder discussion system seemed to be more reasonable. If it can really be implemented, it is not impossible to reproduce the prosperous era of Yaoshun.

Therefore, Huang Zong has put a lot of effort into the township elder system. There are his political ideals. Therefore, Huang Zong attaches great importance to these village elders who were spontaneously elected by various villages, and they are the key to whether Huang Zong's ideal can be realized.

Just when Huang Zong and the villagers were chatting and laughing on the long street, Yue Fei and Li Bashao in the restaurant encountered danger.

Huang Zong's intuition was correct, there were indeed assassins who had infiltrated the restaurant and were preparing to assassinate Yue Fei and Li Bashao. Huang Zong's investigation this time made the mistake of bias again. He was very strict with the chefs in the restaurant, but he did not guard against the squire in the silk robe in the restaurant.

Li Bashao led Li Xiao'e with his left hand, and pulled Yue Fei into the Bafang Building with his right hand. These squires all knew Yue Fei. As soon as they saw that the envoys of the Honshu regiment had also arrived, they immediately stepped forward to greet and toast.

was a little clear-eyed, and when he saw the expressions of Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e, he immediately understood Li Bashao's thoughts, and knew that Li Bashao wanted to recruit Yue Fei as his son-in-law. If Yue Fei becomes Li Bashao's son-in-law, Li Bashao's status in Yingtian will be even more unmatched. Thinking of this, the auspicious words that the squire said to Li Bashao were even more auspicious.

This wish Li Ba Shao is as blessed as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and that wish Li Ba Shao a long life than Nanshan Immortal Pine.

Yue Fei's battle-hardened nerves suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he inexplicably felt a murderous aura in the crowd. Yue Fei raised his head suddenly, and his eagle-like gaze swept over the guests who came up to celebrate his birthday.

However, every guest who came up to celebrate his birthday was very honest, and after saying the words of blessing, he offered his birthday gift, and then he retired.

Seeing that almost all the guests had given birthday gifts, nothing unusual happened. Yue Fei shook his head, he felt that he might not have come out of the battlefield yet. It's a bit of a pawn.

But just when Yue Fei thought that there were no assassins, the assassination suddenly happened.

Huang Daren, the owner of the Huang Family Pharmacy, smiled like a flower on his chubby round face, wearing a wide robe, and looked more kind and kind. He walked up to Li Bashao with his fists in his fists and said loudly, "The eighth old man has a big birthday, Huang has no respect, and he specially offers a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu and a hundred-year-old Poria cocos, and I wish the eighth master a long life and a hundred years old." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and shouted at a man who was also wearing silk and had a fierce face, "Chen Fu, bring me my birthday gift." ”

Just as Yue Fei was looking at the tough man, Huang Daren suddenly raised his hand, and a black light shot out of the sleeve of his robe, like lightning, straight to Yue Fei's chest. But it's a crossbow bolt in its sleeve.

Huang Daren thought that Yue Fei was dead. He hid an extremely elaborate machine crossbow in his sleeve, and the crossbow arrows sent out were fast and powerful, and the crossbow arrows were coated with poison that sealed his throat with blood, as long as he hit, Yue Fei would definitely die.

The distance between the two was less than two meters, and the arrows of the crossbow were so fast, even if Yue Fei had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to escape this killing.

But to Huang Daren's disappointment, as soon as his crossbow arrow shot out of the sleeve of his robe, Yue Fei copied the huge Eight Immortals table beside Li Bashao and quickly blocked it in front of Li Bashao, Li Xiao'e and himself. The birthday gifts piled on the table were sprinkled on the ground.

The crossbow bolt shot at the table of the Eight Immortals. Yue Fei and the others lost their traces. Huang Daren was stunned for a moment. At this time, Chen Fu had already opened the birthday gift in the package, but it was two long knives with blue blades.

The squires who wished him birthday finally reacted, and they all rushed to flee. And the guys who deliver the food are all the elite of the Protector Army, and they are all desperately rushing inside at this time. The scene was a mess.

Huang Daren and Chen Fu seem to have put life and death out of the equation a long time ago. They didn't care about the others at all, and the two of them, each holding a long knife, bypassed the erected Eight Immortals Table from both sides, preparing to kill Yue Fei and Li Ba Shao's father and daughter.

Huang Daren had just bypassed the Eight Immortals Table, but saw the Eight Immortals Table suddenly turn around, blocking Chen Fu's way. And Yue Fei was already standing in front of Huang Daren. Huang Daren let out a strange scream, and the long knife in his hand slashed directly at Yue Fei. Yue Fei didn't dodge or dodge, kicked out, and came first, directly kicking Huang Daren out of the air.

After sending Huang Daren away, Yue Fei turned around like lightning, and Chen Fu just kicked down the Eight Immortals Table.

Yue Fei turned a blind eye to the poisonous blade in Chen Fu's hand, and directly rushed over with a lunge, the black tiger dug out his heart, and punched out, Chen Fu saw that his knife was about to cut Yue Fei, and suddenly he couldn't see anything. Yue Fei's iron fist had already hit him in the face, directly knocking Chen Fu's nose into it.

At this time, the elite of the Protector Army arranged by Huang Zong finally rushed over. It's not that they're slow, it's that the assassination happened too suddenly and ended too quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye, the two assassins were knocked down by Yue Fei.

Yue Fei knocked down the assassin, quickly turned around, helped up the frightened Li Bashao and Li Xiao'e, and asked in a low voice, "Does it matter to Elder Li?" Sister Xiao'e wasn't scared, was she? ”

Li Bashao went to sea in his early years, and he was mostly windy, and his psychological endurance was much stronger than that of ordinary people. He glanced at Huang Daren, who fell to the ground, and reluctantly smiled, "Fortunately, there is Pengju, otherwise my birthday banquet today would have become a guillotine banquet." ”

Yue Fei said, "Don't say that, Elder Li. Huang Daren's target seems to be me, and if I don't come, maybe there won't be this assassination. ”

Li Bashao laughed and said, "I didn't tell them that you would definitely arrive today, and seeing him hide his sleeve arrows on his body, I knew that their assassination targets were you and me." ”

At this time, Ji Qian and Hua Ruyu also rushed in. Just now, the two rivals didn't enter the hall, but just sat on the side of the street and ate a flowing water feast. When I heard someone screaming in the hall, I knew that something was wrong.

Ji Qian looked at the scene in the house and immediately understood what was going on. Walked up to Huang Daren and Chen Fu, picked up the long knife that glowed with blue light, sniffed it with his nose, and immediately kicked Chen Fu on the waist, scolding, "These two bastards are so poisonous." He smeared the poison that sealed his throat with blood. ”

As soon as Li Xiao'e heard Ji Qian say that the knife was poisonous, her face immediately changed, and she asked Yue Fei, "Brother Yue, are you injured?" ”

Yue Fei smiled at Li Xiao'e, "Sister Xiao'e, don't worry. I'm fine. Even the two of them can't hurt me. ”

Li Xiao'e opened her eyes wide and looked Yue Fei up and down, until she found that Yue Fei was really not injured, and then she turned her beautiful eyes away.

As soon as the prefect Huang Zong came in, he apologized, he really didn't expect the assassin to hide among the VIPs. Li Bashao was very angry, he walked directly to Huang Daren, who had just woken up from a coma, and asked loudly, "Huang Daren, I, Li Bashao, asked myself why I didn't provoke you, why did you want to kill me?" ”

Huang Daren knew that the death penalty was inevitable, so he simply died a bachelor's death. He glared at him and said, "Li Bashao, you didn't provoke me, but you provoked Chen Shenxian, so you should die." Yue Fei killed Chen Shenxian, he deserved to die even more. only hated me for not killing Yue Fei with an arrow. ”

Yue Fei sighed and said, "It turns out that you are a remnant of Amitabha Buddhism. ”

Huang Daren replied loudly, "Yes, I, Huang Daren, am the Lord of Heaven of Amitabha Buddhism. Lao Tzu is not afraid of death. You killed me, and I just went to heaven. ”

Huang Zong was afraid that Yue Fei would kill Huang Daren in a fit of rage, so he hurriedly said, "Old Li, Chen Fu was killed by Peng Ju's punch. This is the only thing left, and it is better to be tried strictly. It is easy to dodge with open guns, but it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and we must find out how many followers of Amitabha Buddhism are still in Yingtianfu. ”

As soon as Huang Daren heard this, he immediately said proudly, "Huang Zong, you stinky scholar. Punish Lao Tzu with all the punishments. Look at whether Lao Tzu is afraid. Lao Tzu is not afraid of death. ”

Yue Fei squatted on the ground, looked at Huang Daren's eyes, and said with a smile, "Since you are not afraid of death, why do you emphasize twice that you are not afraid of death?" Are you really not afraid of death, though? If you are really not afraid of death, today's assassination will be a success. Do you know why I was able to dodge your Hidden Arrows? It's because you turned your head and shouted Chen Fu. I think a piece of Poria cocos can be held in my hand, so why bother to find someone to take it on purpose. Today is Elder Li's birthday banquet, not a place for you to be powerful. So I was very careful. Sure enough, you appeared. ”

Huang Daren was told by Yue Fei about the cowardice in his heart, and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
