Chapter 52: Lin Xiuyuan's gamble
For Bai Yutang, he didn't seem to have any intention of making trouble at this banquet.
Although it was a Hongmen banquet, everyone abided by the rules of the game.
It's not time to flip the table.
Wu Liang found that he seemed to have misjudged.
He had always thought that something would always happen at such a banquet, but he didn't think about what would happen.
Assassination?
Threat?
Or is it like something else, etc.?
Wu Liang forgot that in fact, all strategies can only be used in the world outside the field to achieve the best results.
At a banquet, all that can be given is a signal, a signal of what exactly is going to be done, that the battle is about to begin.
After all, no one is stupid.
At a time like this, it doesn't do anyone any good to flip the table.
Bai Yutang knows this very well, and he actually doesn't disdain to use that kind of indiscriminate means, he is used to using the grandeur to suppress others, and a small trick actually can't bring anything.
Wu Liang saw this and couldn't help but sigh.
I'm still poisoned too much.
Before the battle started, I thought something was going to happen.
"Why is the virtuous nephew sighing?" Jin Yangbo sat next to him, saw his sighing action, and couldn't help asking.
There was concern in his eyes.
These old foxes, all of them are actors!
Wu Liang couldn't help but scold in his heart.
But he still has a smiling expression on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"I just felt it. ”
"What do you mean?" Jin Yangbo was interested.
"Look at these rich families in the city, still smiling there, you really don't know that you are already in trouble. Wu Liang drank a glass of wine and said with a smile.
"How so?"
"Uncle Jinyang, think about it carefully, the White City Lord has just arrived in office, why do you want to invite this rich family in the city to dinner?"
"It's an ancient custom. The lord of the city is a newcomer, and he must have the support of the big and small forces in the city to have political achievements. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this is the truth. ”
That being said. Wu Liang chuckled, "But how can our White City Lord be an ordinary person? The White City Lord has a high chest, and he always has to do something, some people can't move, but some people can't move, he always has to find a chicken to slaughter." However, the form in this Lin'an City is complicated, not to mention that it is my Haoyue Earl's Palace, which can be regarded as a force in this city, right? But even so, we still share some benefits to the people in this city. Even the ordinary Jianghu forces in the city are supported by people who are not simple. ”
"What does that solet mean that it is difficult for the White City Lord to do things?"
"It's not that hard. The key depends on whether the White City Lord can make the right decision at the critical time. Wu Liang raised his glass, saluted Jin Yangbo, and said with a smile.
"Then what should be done with this correct decision?" Jin Yangbo also picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and asked.
"This ...... I'm just a little learned, so I can't guess it. Wu Liang was silent.
"You ......" Jin Yangbo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You will be wise to protect yourself." Okay, be happy today, don't talk about this, drink!"
"Drink!" Wu Liang picked up his wine glass and drank it all.
Jin Yangbo smiled brightly, and Wu Liang smiled very brightly.
This is a big fox and a small fox, but the thoughts in their hearts are different at this time.
After drinking, the two of them also ended the conversation and continued to watch the song and dance.
At this time, Wu Liang came to his side with a character he never expected.
Lin Xiuyuan!
"Brother Zifang, don't come to harm!" Lin Xiuyuan held the wine glass with a smile on his face, Wu Liang noticed that there was a long sword hanging from his waist, and he didn't know how he brought it in.
"It turned out to be a stepbrother, don't come unharmed!" Wu Liang arched his hand and said with a smile.
What is this guy here for?
Wu Liang always thought that this person would sit there without saying a word like he had attended the wedding banquet before, and be a little transparent figure.
Unexpectedly, he came over and set it up almost.
"Farewell the day before yesterday, I miss Brother Zifang very much!" Lin Xiuyuan said polite words without nutrition, Wu Liang listened to it drowsy, he felt that he might hear more polite words today than he had heard in his previous life, it was like a fly buzzing in his ears, buzzing non-stop.
"Okay, let's stop! Brother Jue, you also know that we are friends and enemies, if it's useless, I hope you don't say it, okay?" Wu Liang finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Lin Xiuyuan's words.
"You ......" Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, and then laughed, "Brother Zifang is really very human, in fact, I don't like this kind of politeness very much, but in life, you always have to disguise it." ”
"If my stepbrother is here to talk to me about life and ideals, I don't think it's necessary. The relationship between the two of us is not that close. Wu Liang looked sarcastic.
"Look at what you said. Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile, "Don't you think it's a very interesting thing to talk about ideals with enemies? ”
"Then you are really amazing, stepbrother. ”
Seeing the impatience on Wu Liang's face, Lin Xiuyuan laughed, stopped talking nonsense, and said with a smile: "Actually, I came here to make a bet with Brother Zifang." ”
"Bet?" Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up a good-looking arc, "I found that my stepbrother seems to like betting." ”
"Hahahaha!!" Lin Xiuyuan laughed, "Isn't this life a gamble? However, this person is more lucky, and it seems that he has never lost. ”
"That stepbrother is really amazing. Wu Liang smiled, "But I've never gambled, because gambling is a thing that harms others and myself." I never do something I'm not sure about. Besides, didn't you lose the matter of the Xuanwu Trap Beast?"
"Brother Zifang, you must know it yourself, in the end, am I winning or losing?" Lin Xiuyuan laughed, "The Xuanwu Organ Beasts in the barracks yesterday were transported out of the barracks one after another, heading for the direction of Fenglin Province, presumably to be transported to the front line!"
"How do you know?" Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, a terrifying light was projected in his eyes, this matter was done very secretly, and there were definitely few people who knew about it!
"Our Absolute God Palace also has a Peerless Shadow!" Lin Xiuyuan's expression was a little unbeaten.
"What do you want to bet on?"
"Just bet on the victory or defeat of this battle in Fenglin Province!" Lin Xiuyuan's expression was solemn, and he said, "You and I can't make a move, each send three people to the front line to participate in the battle, I will help Shanyue, and you will help the imperial court!"
"What about the bets?"
"I'm with you! I've lost, I'm loyal to you! You've lost, the same!"
Wu Liang took a deep look at Lin Xiuyuan and said, "Yes!"
