Chapter 260: The Feast

"For example, I saw that the prince was about to open his eyes!"

The red mark on Duan Pingsheng's eyebrows appeared on the night when the Miaomu Guanyin descended the projection, others may not know what this red mark represents, but in the eyes of the dragon hunter, there is nothing to hide. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info's pair of eyes as dazzling as stars have an innate strange ability, and Qianli has been repeatedly strengthened during his cultivation, so that he can see things that are difficult for ordinary people to find.

In Duan Pingsheng's eyebrows, Qianli found that the Mud Pill Palace was showing signs of transformation, and a black and white eyeball gradually took shape, just waiting to break the most critical shackles, and you can get the Tianyantong that the world dreams of.

However, Qianli had a trace of doubt in his heart, because there was a huge difference between the prototype of Duan Pingsheng's Heavenly Eye and the various cases he had seen before, and in his memory, even the Heavenly Eye of a certain enlightened monk was not as agile as Duan Pingsheng. You must know that the senior monk recites the scriptures every day, and Tianyantong has already reached the level of breaking through again, but compared to the prototype of Tianyan in Duan Pingsheng, it is still far away.

This made Chisato hesitate in his heart, and he didn't know whether to use his discovery in exchange for a chance to live.

However, after hearing Qianli's words about breaking the eye of the sky, Duan Pingsheng planned to spare his life, compared to the human-faced black scorpion of Xuanwu Gongzi, it was obvious that Qianli's use value was more considerable. It's just that dragon hunters are all unruly outlaws, and Qianli's temperament is unpredictable for a while, how to properly deal with this person makes Duan Pingsheng a little hesitant.

At this moment, Guo Mu said: "The attitude of the imperial court towards dragon hunters has always been to kill them all, many of them are on the bounty list, and this Qianli is no exception, it just so happens that tomorrow is the big day for the cold-faced judge to take over the history of Youzhou Thorn, presumably, he will be more interested." ā€

Duan Pingsheng nodded lightly, he was very moved by Guo Mu's proposal, he wanted to get the control of Xicheng by integrating Lu Sansi's old department, so he had to deal with Nie Fengdi, who was eager to establish his authority, I believe that the generous gift of sending thousands of miles, plus the favor of persuading Zhuang Bancheng to open a warehouse and release grain, should be able to make the cold-faced judge turn a blind eye to the guards of Xicheng!

"Yes, Lord Gu has already sent an invitation, and when Nie Fengdi receives the Great Seal of the Thorn History tomorrow, he will feast the magnates of Youzhou in the Thorn History Mansion and take this person as a gift, of course it would be a good thing!"

Duan Pingsheng said lightly, tonight the dragon hunters are coming, and there are many people in Youzhou City waiting for the Wuwang Mansion to suffer, and when the words "Duan Pingsheng" appear on the hidden dragon list, the Wuwang Mansion, which has improved slightly, has faintly become the target of everyone. If it weren't for Duan Pingsheng's use of Luo Hou's identity token to forcibly force the Longmen people to be vigilant, it is estimated that the recklessness of the rivers and lakes that will attack tonight will double.

Duan Pingsheng glanced at Qianli, who wanted to speak and stopped, and nodded lightly: "This big gift, the cold-faced judge is destined to be unable to refuse, and he just uses this person to make a prestige, killing two birds with one stone!" ā€

Then, Guo Mu asked Guo's private army to hand over the shackles of thousands of miles to the palace guards led by Gu Xia, and then immediately led people away.

Duan Pingsheng looked at the gossip array that was difficult to repair in a short period of time, shook his head, and when the dragon hunter made a comeback, he would definitely be able to drive straight into the core of the palace, and the Dinghai Divine Needle on the small stool was destined to be guarded by others.

Of course, Duan was not afraid of the challenge, and immediately turned around and went back to rest, preparing to participate in the banquet the next day.

……

The bright sun pierced the darkness, and the sleeping Youzhou woke up quietly, and immediately, news spread everywhere, spread all over the streets and alleys, and reached the ears of many Youzhou magnates.

Most of the current Youzhou magnates rose from the turmoil five years ago, they witnessed the collapse of the invincible Wuwang Mansion, and then followed their respective masters to start a power struggle on this stage called Youzhou. Although the Wuwang Mansion has been in decline for several years, it is still an unforgettable name for these Youzhou magnates, and they don't want to return to the days when the Wuwang covered the sky with one hand, so the Wuyou Wangfu, which has become the county king's mansion, has been constrained by all parties in recent years.

If they could, the Youzhou magnates naturally wanted to completely wipe out the Wuwang Mansion, but the imperial court's attitude towards the general Li Changlin was a little ambiguous, and the An Dajie envoy was bent on subduing Li Changlin, so no matter how others stopped it, it also made the Wuyou Wangfu go through the most difficult time, and with the growth of Li Jiangbei, the Wuyou Wangfu returned to the level of power competition.

However, the situation that Li Changlin has painstakingly created in the past five years was easily broken by Duan Pingsheng, and there were many coincidences in this, but what must not be ignored is that Zhuang Bancheng, the lord of Zhenlong Pavilion, and the proud son of the Xu family, at a critical moment, not only helped Duan Pingsheng tide over the difficulties, but also made the palace stand on a higher step.

Originally, according to Duan Pingsheng's plan, he took over the old department left by Lu Sansi, and then used Xicheng as the foundation to operate and grow, and then with the help of Li Zhong, the king of Yan, or the hands of others, he plotted the entire Youzhou City. It's a pity that the sudden change in the list of hidden dragons has made the existence of the Wuwang Mansion extremely embarrassing.

The magnates of Youzhou immediately regained their vigilance, beware of the resurgence of the Wuwang Mansion, the sudden attack of the dragon hunters last night, the Youzhou magnates were collectively silent, they just wanted to sit and watch the Wuwang Mansion fend for themselves, fortunately, the Wuwang Mansion still has some foundation, and Duan Pingsheng tried his best to create favorable conditions, so that he could survive this seemingly huge storm without danger.

And this news made many Youzhou magnates have to rethink, how much has the current Wuwang Mansion been restored?

Some people say that half of it is less than half of it, because in the past, when Li Changfeng was proud of Youzhou, there were not only many talents in the palace, but also an invincible martial arts army under his command, and now the martial palace in Duan Pingsheng's hands is extremely lacking, and it is not an overnight thing to reproduce the glory of the past.

What's more, the Wuwang Mansion is now seriously infighting, and the sudden rise of King Wuyou has torn his face with Xuanhua's wife Song Zhi, and the general Li Changlin treats Li Jiangbei, who was forced away by Duan Pingsheng, as his own, so he doesn't need to do anything else, as long as he waits for General Youzhou to return, the suddenly jumping King Wuyou will completely cease to fall.

This point of view is the opinion of most Youzhou magnates, but the opponents feel that the other party is too optimistic, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, that mercenary general Li Changlin, if he focuses on the overall situation, regardless of the past suspicions, and joins forces with King Wu You, wouldn't it be a problem?

With this 10,000 soldiers and horses fighting at the border pass, Duan Pingsheng will be able to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou in his life, and with the strong support from the rear, Li Changlin will no longer have any worries about the future, and will wantonly display his battlefield talents.

For most people, such a view is just nonsense, but many high-level officials, including Nie Fengdi and Luo Hou, have begun to guard against this incident.

Although it seems that the imperial court only wants to kill the bloodline of the Wuwang Mansion, when Qingluan gets married, no one can know whether the butcher's knife will fall on Li Changlin's head, and the Three Treasures Eunuch's comments on Li Jiangbei have faintly released some signals, so the Youzhou general will definitely not completely pin his life on the Tang royal family, and he will definitely leave a backup hand to counteract.

For a time, the Youzhou magnates who adhered to these two views launched a heated debate in private, some advocated strengthening measures against the Wuwang Mansion to prevent its resurgence, and some people did not want to waste their strength and waited for the infighting to appear, this discussion did not stop until the banquet of the Assassin's Mansion began, and Duan Pingsheng, who became the focus of the discussion, sat in the carriage with a small stool in a plain robe like a nobody, and rushed to the location of the Assassin's Mansion.

The cold-faced judge Nie Fengdi is undoubtedly the protagonist of today, and he has become an upstart in Youzhou, and he is the kind of upstart who has a lot of power to speak. But his personality has always been withdrawn, and he is not very happy to be empty and wronged, even if today is a happy day, he still has a straight face and a cold face. Fortunately, Gu Hao, as the host, made proper arrangements, so that Nie Fengdi didn't need to make a statement, just show his face.

Standing at the gate, the old official's family spared no effort to greet the people who congratulated one by one, and read out the gift list to add to the atmosphere. The well-known cold-faced judge arrived to serve as the assassin of Shi, naturally there was not half of the Youzhou magnates who couldn't think of it, and made trouble with gift lists, and most of them who wanted to curry favor with Nie Fengdi gave rich gifts, and after a while, the little people in the house received all kinds of congratulatory gifts from Chengshan.

By the time the banquet was about to begin, the gifts given by the Youzhou magnates had been piled up in several rooms, and at this time, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the heat was falling, seeing that noon was coming, but no one dared to complain, because none of the leading figures in Youzhou City had arrived.

Suddenly, the old butler opened his throat and shouted, "Longmen Luohou has arrived!" ā€

Next is a long congratulatory gift, because Luo Hou has left a lot of stains on the affairs of the Khitan alien race, and needs Nie Fengdi to say a few good words to his head, so he has used a lot of treasures. As the branch dragon hunt of Youzhou Longmen, Luo Hou naturally has the qualifications to let Gu Hao and Nie Fengdi go out to greet each other, however, these two didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't mean to get up to greet each other at all.

Just inform another housekeeper and inform Luo Hou to get started.

This scene made many people look at each other, although everyone knew that Luo Hou had always obeyed Gu Hao's leadership, but on the bright side, Youzhou Longmen and Thorn Shifu were at the same level, and Nie Fengdi had just arrived, so he should never offend such a person.

But some discerning people guessed the reason, that was the day when the thief king and the Xieyang Dao people fought for the moon stone, Luo Hou suddenly used the Inch Han Ancient Arrow, but the result was seriously injured and returned, not only failed to capture the Moon Hua Strange Stone, but also lost an extremely precious Inch Han Ancient Arrow in vain.

Although only Luo Hou has a loss, he happened to anger the Moon Palace Heavenly Monarch and almost caused a catastrophe in Youzhou City, so both Gu Hao and Nie Fengdi wanted Luo Hou to know that when they reached their position, they were destined to be unable to act recklessly, and Luo Hou had already committed a second offense since he rashly slaughtered the dragon, if Luo Hou dared to have a third time, Gu Hao and Nie Fengdi, who had already discussed, would jointly play and join him.

Faced with such a situation, Luo Hou's face was extremely gloomy, but considering his situation and injury, he didn't feel that he had any capital, so he had to forcibly take away his displeasure, pretend to be nothing, and congratulate the two of them in the midst of many surprised eyes.

The cold-faced judge, who is the protagonist, naturally knows the truth of being too late, so he personally got up and asked Luo Hou to sit down, and talked in a low voice, and Luo Hou's face became much more natural.

Immediately afterwards, another distinguished guest arrived, this person was neither Duan Pingsheng nor Li Zhong, the king of Yan, but the main Zhuang Bancheng of Zhenlong Pavilion.

Compared with Luo Hou, Zhuang Lao, who is rich in the world, really picked the door and arrived home, just took something casually and meant it, but whether it was Gu Hao or Nie Fengdi, they had to get up to greet each other, no way, they are authentic rich people, especially the temporary granary outside the north gate now, but all of them come from the secret granary of Zhenlong Pavilion.

"Oh, the two adults are so polite, which makes Zhuang a little unhappy!"

Zhuang Bancheng said that he couldn't go, but in fact, he was full of smiles, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all about his congratulatory gift, so he was personally led into the door by the two leaders of Youzhou City.

Luo Hou looked at Zhuang Bancheng's appearance, and was slightly angry in his heart, but he had no way to vent, after all, before the grain ship arrived, the entire Youzhou still had to count on Zhuang Bancheng's Zhenlong Pavilion.

Soon after Zhuang Lao sat down, Li Zhong, the king of Yan, came to congratulate the lord of Qingmei, and it was very coincidental that the poisonous woman Song Zhi and the king of Yan bumped together, and when the old housekeeper read out the invitation, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, ignoring the existence of Song Zhi, so he could only stand a little farther away, watching Gu Hao and Nie Fengdi welcome Li Zhong's father and daughter into the door, and then quietly followed in with the support of the second housekeeper Cui Dongchuang.

When King Yan arrived, he was naturally greeted by the smiling faces of all the powerful people in Youzhou, and he continued to be honored along the way, until he was introduced to the most noble seat.

On this occasion, the banquet to celebrate Nie Fengdi's succession as the assassin of Youzhou has also come to the beginning, but some people found that although Song Zhi, the wife of Xuanhua, came to the Wuyou Palace, the king of Wuyou, whose status had risen, did not show up for a long time.

And there happened to be an empty seat at the main table where many of the leading figures in Youzhou were located, obviously prepared for Duan Pingsheng, which made people a little puzzled, that King Wuyou was so arrogant that he refused to attend?

Li Qingmei looked at the vacant seat and quietly pursed her lips, while Song Zhi, the poisonous woman sitting in the distance, showed a little cold light, she very much hoped that Duan Pingsheng would not come forward, so as to offend all the Youzhou magnates present, but unfortunately, her wish was still disappointed.

The old butler, who was guarding the gate, finally shouted again.

"King Wuyou, here!"
