Chapter 70: The Real Hongmen Feast
……
The next morning, the post house of the Western Governor's Palace, the city of Durent, the chamber of the minister.
"So Prince McGee is going to invite me to a banquet today?" Buchen looked at the invitation card in his hand, did not look up, but asked the house slave sent by McGee in a light tone.
"Yes, please come to the banquet on time." The house slave with white northern blood lowered his head and said in a respectful voice without squinting.
If it is lazy not to raise his head, then this house slave is completely afraid, treating him as a pagan soldier who was lucky enough to survive on the battlefield and was captured, the man in brown does not have much mercy, not only with all kinds of cruel punishments to convert him to the master, but also completely destroy his self-esteem by trampling on his personality, making him a timid dog who has no heart to resist.
In front of a person like Buchen who was noble to the man in brown, the slave was naturally cautious and trembling.
"There you go!" Buchen waved his hand and said, "Tell your master, I will go to the banquet." ”
The slave crossed his arms over his chest, bowed, and said, "Understood." With that, he retreated facing the non-minister, and did not turn away until the door.
Looking at the back of the house slave leaving, Buchen's eyes narrowed slightly, he could see that this person used to be a warrior, and the other party's burly body and calluses sharpened by the blades on his palms could not deceive him.
"These brown-clothed nobles are so bad!"
He said in a cold tone, the encounter of that house slave made him have a nameless fire in his heart, although he is not a minister in the world, he will always give the target a happy one, and those brown-clothed nobles tortured a warrior into this virtue for inexplicable reasons, it is simply a beast in human skin.
"yes, I don't think they're a good thing!" Fei Fei, who had been standing behind Buchen and pretending to be a maid just now, stepped forward and sat on a chair.
Ai Ai, who had also been standing behind Buchen just now, shook his head with a smile, "As far as I know, it's not just the brown-clothed people who do this, the northerners also do this. ”
"But haven't we already killed nine of their kings?" Fei Fei frowned and asked her sister.
"This ......"
"Henry, why don't we teach the browns a lesson?" Fei Fei leaned in front of Buchen, shook his arm, and proposed with a smile.
Buchen glanced at her, knowing that she wanted to kill McGee by herself again, and said a little helplessly: "Feifei, let's come this way, we have killed enough people!" ”
"Shh Fei Fei saw that he didn't allow it, and opened his arms in annoyance, and pursed her sexy little mouth.
Buchen was still unmoved, he had already made up his mind, after the Nine Kings assassination order was completed, if it was a last resort, he would no longer kill people casually.
"Henry." At this moment, Ai Ai called softly.
"What's wrong, Sister Ai Ai?" Buchen asked.
"I always feel that the brown man invited us to a banquet this time."
"How so?" Buchen asked in surprise.
Ai Ai shook her head, "I don't have evidence, I just have a feeling." ”
Buchen smiled bitterly, is this a woman's intuition? However, intuition alone could not persuade him to give up going to the feast.
"Don't worry, Sister Ai Ai!" Buchen comforted her with kind words, "They don't dare to make a mistake, you must know that we are the assassins of the king!" Nine kings of the north have been killed by us, and eight of them are still in groups, and now it is the old boy of McGeina's family, it would be strange if he dared to act rashly! ”
"But at that time the enemy was in the light, and we were in the dark! It is we who are designing to plot against them, and if we have mental calculations or unintentional, we naturally have a higher chance of winning, but now we are the enemy and I am clear. Ai Ai was clearly not convinced.
"Yes, we should strike first!" Fei Fei came to the spirit again.
Buchen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say it, if you don't worry, just like yesterday, don't eat anything, don't drink anything, and stand behind me!" ”
"Henry, you bastard, why don't you listen to persuasion?!" Fei Fei was in a hurry.
"Fei Fei, it's okay." Ai Ai hurriedly stopped her sister-in-law, and if she didn't stop her, she would quarrel.
After calming Fei Fei, Ai Ai turned her head and stared at Buchen with burning eyes: "Henry, no matter what happens, we will definitely keep you safe!" ”
Buchen smiled and nodded, he still believed this.
But seriously, he still couldn't believe that Prince McGee's gang dared to do something to him, just kidding, they were tired of being crooked? It's just that he doesn't know how attractive the things he showed at the banquet yesterday are to Prince McGee and them, powerful gunpowder and extremely fast disguise techniques, which are enough for them to take risks, and the so-called Liling Zhidi is like this!
"But, Henry, you'd better drink less today." Ai Ai persuaded again.
"yes, I see." Buchen agreed very happily, the brewing skills of the brown-clothed man are very average, and the taste of the wine can fade out of the bird, if it wasn't fresh yesterday, he wouldn't be interested in drinking it.
……
The grand banquet began again, still in the main hall of the Prince's Palace, and the people attending the banquet did not change, it was still Prince McGee, the brown-clothed nobles, and the three of them, and the number of female slaves serving was still so much, and everything looked the same as yesterday, which made the Buchen even less vigilant.
After the banquet began, Prince McGee and the brown-clothed nobles toasted to Buchen affectionately, and Buchen originally wanted to drink until the glass was dry, but every time the glass was raised to his mouth, Ai Ai, who was standing behind him, would cough lightly to remind him. He was still able to remember his promise, so except for Prince McGee's toast, he didn't sell anyone's face once, but I don't know why, the brown-clothed nobles who were brushed off didn't look angry.
It's just that Buchen didn't have much suspicion, he just thought that those brown-clothed nobles were afraid of his famous name, so they didn't dare to show their anger, and they just swallowed their anger, and a character like this kind of eggless egg naturally wouldn't be put in his eyes.
In this way, the banquet went on, from about eleven o'clock in the afternoon until about two o'clock in the afternoon.
Suddenly, Prince McGee lowered his glass and smiled.
"No, I've always thought you Seris have a good saying!"
"Oh? I don't know which sentence Your Highness is referring to? Buchen frowned slightly, he hadn't drunk much, his mind was still clear, and he was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere of the scene at this time-the brown-clothed nobles who had been smiling at him had become cold and gloomy at this time.
"People go to the heights, and the water flows to the lows." Prince McGee spoke slowly, word for word.
Buchen is not a fool, so he can naturally hear the meaning of this sentence, he looked at McGee with a sneer, "Could it be that His Highness wants to recruit me?" ”
Prince McGee nodded slightly: "That's right! As long as you are not willing to submit to me, not only will I cash out the 10 million bounty to you immediately, but I will also make you the commander of ten thousand armies, and be the commander of my brown-clothed empire! ”
However, in the face of the temptation of high-ranking officials, Buchen was unmoved: "What if I don't agree? ”
Prince McGee's expression became more gloomy, as if he could drip water.
"Then today's banquet is the last meal you will eat in this life!"
"Haha, haha, ahhahahahahaha!" Suddenly, there was a burst of hysterical laughter in the main hall.
Buchen turned his head to look at Fei Fei, who couldn't straighten his waist even after laughing, and asked with a stinky face, "Have you laughed enough?" ”
Fei Fei's tears of laughter were about to come out, she pointed at Buchen and said, "We have already advised you, you have to listen, now it's good, dumbfounded, right?" ”
Buchen gritted his teeth, he now had an urge to push Fei Fei down and correct the Fa on the spot. But that kind of shame is obviously not what we can do now...... Buchen tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and stared at Prince McGee with cold eyes: "Old thief McGee, are you tired of living?!" ”
Prince McGee was also taken aback by Fei Fei's laughter just now, and it was not easy for him to come back to his senses when he heard the words, how had he ever seen such a presumptuous maid? If his maid dared to do so in front of him, he would have to break one of her legs!
McGee sneered, didn't speak, just let go and threw the glass on the ground!
The metal goblet collided with the marble floor with a crisp and deafening sound!
Boom !!
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of "boom" armor leaves, and countless warriors of the Scorn Army wearing pointed helmets and golden brilliant armor on their bodies, armed with scimitars, rushed into the main hall!
And the moment he heard the sound of the nail leaf, Buchen had already started his movements, he stretched out his consciousness tentacles in all directions, and absorbed the various elements in the space with all his might, but when he injected his mental power and physical strength into the various elements that had been condensed in his body, and wanted to convert them into Dou Qi energy, he found that he ......
The elements vanished like a burst of fire.
"How so?!" Buchen's eyes widened suddenly, and he chuckled in his heart!
"Assassin, what do you think is in that wine?" The fat nobleman named Maurard asked with a wicked smile.
"Scum!" Buchen scolded angrily, at this moment, how could he not understand what the other party had done to him?
