After officials from all walks of life arrived, they were all invited by Wei Xiaobao, a new upstart in the empire and a big celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor. They were dumbfounded when they entered the banquet venue.
As long as the entire banquet hall is empty, there is only a pillar in the center, and this pillar is still naked to help a fat-headed and big-eared man. Many people still know this person, and they give the city lord of the Earth Demon City nicknamed the Living Hades. This guy is a notoriously ruthless and arrogant person on the ground in Youzhou, this guy likes to eat human flesh, especially fetuses, human brains, and human hearts. Although he is full of evil, because of the special environment here in Youzhou and the background behind him, everyone can tolerate him to be arrogant all the time.
But now this guy is naked, tied to the pillar, and there is a fierce man standing next to the pillar, wielding a pair of kitchen knives where to cut vegetables. Around the pillars was a large round table, on which were placed food and a hot pot.
The banquet hall was filled with a strange atmosphere for a while, and the hearts of all the officials present were up and down. When all the officials who had been invited were seated, Xiao Bao ordered the heavy door of the banquet hall to be closed.
The earth demon became the city lord Torff Vic likes to eat human flesh, and there are no less than hundreds of people who can follow during his tenure as the city lord, and he has cultivated to the rank of martial king. This product is a well-known thorn and ruthless in Youzhou, and the offended enemy can't even remember himself, but this product has a good sister, a patriarch's wife who is one of the seven major families.
But this thing is not stupid, although it is a nightmare act in his own territory, but the pretending in front of his sister is about to become a Buddha. This kid is not stupid, he knows that he has offended a lot of people arrogantly outside all the year round, so he always has a dozen bodyguards by his side whenever he is, and the lineup is very gorgeous. The three Martial Kings, one Dharma King, and the Twelve Great King Kongs are all at the peak of the Great Martial Sect, so they have rarely suffered losses.
However, he was unfortunately chosen by Xiaobao and became the monkey who killed the monkey and set an example for the chicken. After greeting the Azure family, Xiaobao led the twenty (two teams) of the Blue Family to form a magic spear battalion with the latest equipment to ambush, each of the demon sniper team members is only a great martial artist, and only the captain is a martial artist.
The ambush place was four martial kings, a Dharma king plus twelve masters of the Great Martial Sect cultivation, and the other entourages were not in a hurry, and the final result of this ambush ended with the loss of three magic snipers and the capture of all the opponents.
The purpose of this ambush is twofold, one is to capture Torfbeek, and the other is to test the actual combat effect of the new magic spear army, but because of the limitations of weapons and troops, this time only the magic sniper can be tested.
The 20 magic snipers worked together in advance, using stun bullets to eliminate four warrior kings and one magic king, and then turned their guns against the others. In the course of the battle, the first shot achieved brilliant results, and when the opponent was defenseless, three of the four warrior kings were hit and fell unconscious, and the other Dharma king was also hit and fell unconscious and lost the battle. The remaining one Warrior King and the rest of the enemy's combat power, except for the Warrior King, who caused our losses, the rest of the personnel were all dealt with by the Demon Sniper themselves.
The results of the battle were fruitful, but some deficiencies in the staffing of the magic snipers and guns and ammunition also needed to be improved. For example, the martial king who can still be alive after being hit, and the self-defense and anti-reconnaissance abilities of the magic sniper. This new class actually suffered casualties despite the absolute superiority of weapons and environmental (sneak attack) stations, and there are really many places worth pondering for the Azure family. (The Emperor taught the Blue Family the privilege of organizing this new class of troops, well, there are many things that they need to explore on their own.) Xiaobao will not be so kind as to tell them everything, waiting for them to deliver it to the door by themselves is the last word. )
For example, now Xiaobao has some information and ideas in his hands in exchange for the Blue Family to clean up the trouble after killing Torfbek for him, and use this superb ingredient to entertain the group officials present now.
These people invited by Xiaobao are all those guys with deep backgrounds and extensive involvement, although each of them has crimes that are enough to be sentenced to death by imperial law more than a dozen times, but Xiaobao really can't kill them all. If you really ruin them all, then the fun will be great. The first is that the only remaining layout of the empire in Youzhou will be all chaotic at once, the second is that there are too many enemies, and the third is that it harms others and oneself.
The Youzhou Rebellion came from these people, but to solve it, these people still need to contribute, which is the so-called local method of untying the bell and tying the bell. These people have been entrenched in Youzhou for many years, with a complex network of relationships and rich family (hole cards), although they have harmed one party for many years, but if they can be used for their own use, it is also a good medicine to govern this troubled world. This can not only strengthen our strength, but also share its own pressure, if you really want to do it, it is estimated that the Canglan family will also pat their butts and leave. Don't talk about it from afar, let's talk about the present, look at the killing of a Torff Baker will give the Canglan family a little headache, if it weren't for Xiaobao helping them with credit, and doing things for their family at the same time, it is estimated that this thing would be difficult to achieve. (Xiaobao is still serving under Canglan Huairou, so the bulk of what he did is still hanging on the head of the Canglan family.) It's just that the people of the Canglan family are not stupid, and the credit is good! Of course, the more the merrier, if it's hard work or mistakes, hehe! I'm sorry, people won't know you when they turn their faces. )
Xiao Bao started with aristocratic etiquette with a smile on his face, made some nonsense speeches, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's really fortunate that your colleagues have come from afar, and Ben Hou has specially set up a banquet for you here to express his gratitude." ”
A group of officials of all sizes in Youzhou hurriedly didn't dare to be like chickens pecking rice, too polite, Xiaobao changed his words and said: "When Benhou first arrived in Youzhou, he was entrusted with a heavy task by His Majesty the Emperor, and at that time, many things still have to rely on the help of adults, so I specially prepared a famous dish in Youzhou for everyone: Cairen hot pot." I heard that this dish is made from the best dishes, and then ask a chef with excellent knife skills to cut off the meat on his body one by one, and then roll it with other dishes in a hot pot, and then dip it in the soup before eating. There are two particularities in this dish, one is that the sliced meat should be thinner and thinner, and the other is the sauce. Xiaobao smiled and asked after a long speech: "Everyone, Ben Hou is not wrong!"
The officials below were wiping their sweat vigorously, and some of them were even more trembling, all of them seemed to be dumb, and they didn't dare to say a word. Once the word "vegetable man" is put on the table, it is a great sin. I heard that this carefree marquis is a big celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, this trip to Youzhou, don't look at the people of the Canglan family who have become a governor, but in fact, many people can see that the real power is still the little marquis in front of him. And now the situation is obvious, the helped Torfbeek thinks that there is less luck.
Although many people wanted him to die, they were not happy at all. Xiao Bao looked at the group of cowering officials below, and the smile on his face became brighter, but this smile made their faces a little whiter.
Sure enough, Xiaobao brought them another 'surprise', Xiaobao clapped his hands, and then walked in with a pair of guards holding scrolls and a few exquisite gift boxes, and let them distribute those scrolls to everyone, but only a few people had the gift boxes.
Xiaobao smiled and said: "Before the banquet, Ben Hou also specially prepared some small gifts for you, all as a greeting gift!"
