The one hundred and fifty-second strange invitation to the Hongmen banquet
This old man, Li Daoyuan, has seen it, and he is a messenger who travels between Qianjiao County and Fengyu Town, although the cultivation world has all kinds of means to communicate over long distances.
However, in the secular world, most of them are still relatively backward ways of transmitting messages, such as speeding up the horse and whipping the pigeon.
After all, most people are still ordinary people, and if they use them, they don't have that ability.
The old man took the letter and handed it to Li Daoyuan, and then stood quietly aside and waited, as if he had something to say.
Seeing this, Li Daoyuan opened the letter with some doubts, only to see that the letter read:
"The mayor of Fengyu Town, Li Daoyuan personally enlightened, I am Shixiong, the county lieutenant of Qianjiao County, I heard that you are only seventeen years old, and you can carry the crown, and your force is extraordinary."
"I was elected as the mayor of the town by the people, and I wrote a letter to congratulate me, I like to make friends with a young talent like you, but you need to report to the county within three days of taking office."
"The payment is, Shi Xiong respects."
This Shi Xiong is the second master of the three brothers of the Shi family, the three of them are Shi Jie, Shi Xiong, and Quartz, I heard that there is a fourth brother who was originally called Shi Hao, but unfortunately he did not grow up and died halfway.
Shi Xiong is the think tank of the Shi family most of the time, but his own cultivation is also in the late stage of the hammer bone, and his strength is not strong.
He didn't mention Wang Zhen or quartz throughout the article, but Li Daoyuan was still shocked into a cold sweat after reading it.
As the so-called Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang, the Hongmen banquet has been set up, it depends on whether he dares to go.
"Mayor Town, the county lieutenant also asked me to bring a sentence after you read the letter..."
"Oh? Tell me about it, what is it? ”
The old man's face was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Li Daoyuan's insistent eyes, he said in a deep voice:
"It's... He said that if you don't go, the mayor's position will be unjustifiable, and it will be a usurpation of power and rebellion, and he will personally lead people... Lead people to quell the rebellion and set things right. ”
"When the time comes, if any of the people lose their lives because of this, it will be counted on the head of the mayor."
"What a Shixiong!!"
Hearing this, Li Daoyuan didn't know what he meant in his heart, this was already eating himself.
Go, it is the absolute Hongmen feast, and when they reach their territory, if they are not eaten and wiped clean, it will be considered a death pleasure.
If you don't go, when Shi Xiong takes advantage of the topic to play, he will come to "quell the rebellion" with elite soldiers, and he doesn't know how much blood will be shed and how many people will die.
The key is now, whether to go or not is not something he can decide, Shi Xiong has already calculated that he will not be able to escape.
"Your Excellency... My lord, that Shi Xiong deceived people too much... Why don't you just run away... It's a big deal, let's just change the mayor again. ”
The old man also knew that if Li Daoyuan really went, he would definitely be more than lucky, and said with a frown.
As soon as Li Daoyuan heard this plan, he nodded slightly, but immediately thought it through, and quickly shook his head and said:
"No, I definitely can't escape, if I run away now, he will backhand me as a traitor and thief, and as soon as the wanted warrant is issued, it will immediately spread all over the country, and I will have two more legs, where can I run?"
"Although the world is big, I don't want to run out of the dynasty's sphere of influence with a pair of wings."
As soon as these words came out, the old man was also silent, he knew that what Li Daoyuan said was very likely to happen.
After all, the official word has two mouths, and it is reasonable to speak up and down, and labeling Li Daoyuan as an anti-thief is just a matter of one sentence.
When the time comes, I am afraid that Li Daoyuan will have to watch out for the siege of the dynasty every day and every night, and he will not dare to slack off.
"Master, what are you afraid of, if you are wanted, we will take you straight to the demon world!"
"That's it, the human race is so calculating, twisting and turning, it's best to go to our demon world."
Xia Chaiyun and the others stood next to them, listening to the conversation for two days without clarity, and jumped out directly to suggest in a daze.
To be honest, going to the demon world is indeed a choice, but the demon race and the human race are not completely peaceful, and most of the monsters and humans do not deal with each other, but they are not as desperate as they are to follow Li Daoyuan.
"Ahem, I'll go to the demon world with you, do you want me to become a dish of a certain demon king, or was I eaten by a few little demons?"
As soon as Li Daoyuan said this, Xia chased the clouds, and Jingqiu and the others immediately closed their mouths, and they realized how stupid their thoughts were.
"My lord, what now? Do you really want to debrief? Their Shi family is in Qianjiao County, I'm afraid you go..."
The old man didn't finish his words, but even if he didn't finish speaking, Li Daoyuan understood what he meant.
"I wonder if the name of the Cloud Rain Sect Elder can be borrowed?"
Li Daoyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally put his hope on the Yunyu Sect.
Tomorrow is the time for the Elder Competition, and you must defeat the previous Elder in order to gain your true identity.
This also means that if you want to enter the Cloud Rain Sect, you will definitely offend people.
"Alas, when you offend people by doing anything, it's really very difficult."
Thinking of these situations, Li Daoyuan was very unhappy, he was led by the nose, and there was no room for resistance.
"Damn, you must hurry up and improve your cultivation, this feeling is really disgusting."
Li Daoyuan said secretly in his heart, and finally he picked up the pen and ink in the old man's hand, wrote a reply letter with a brush, and handed it to the old man.
Said to the old man:
"Please ask the old man to reply to Shi Xiong, and after they see this letter, they will naturally understand what I mean."
"It's... My lord, if something is wrong, you must find a way to get out. ”
"Don't worry, I love my life very much."
The old man left with the letter, and Xia Chaiyun watched him leave, and couldn't help muttering:
"Master, at my speed, we can get out of the range of Qianjiao County in one day, and even their mortal horses don't want to catch us."
"Even if you don't go to the demon world, there are always mountains and rivers that no one in this world, just a few of us live in it, planting the land every day, isn't it beautiful?"
Hearing Xia Chaiyun's suggestion, Li Daoyuan was a little moved, such a life of indulging in mountains and rivers and hiding in the mountains and rivers sounds desirable enough.
But it's a pity that if Li Daoyuan could still choose this way before, not now...
Wan Long, the revenge of the three masters and the brothers has not been avenged, and the revenge of the eldest brother has not been avenged, and the Shi family has been bullied to the end.
Just walking away like this is the act of a complete coward.
What's more, it's okay for him to leave, what about Stone Forest, and so many people?
Except for him, no one cares about their lives or deaths, and it can be seen from Wang Zhen's connivance with his subordinates to burn and loot, and Quartz's wanton slaughter of innocent passers-by, they don't treat the people as human beings at all.
"No, I can't go, and if I go, these people will be destroyed."
"Martial arts is also a way that never stops, if you encounter difficulties, you will retreat, and it will be difficult to break through the demons in the future and go further."
When Li Daoyuan talked about his future cultivation, the two of them also understood the truth, so they had nothing to say.
