At the banquet, Li Hu detained all kinds of black pots and crimes on Guo Sheng's head, describing him as a villain who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, despicable and shameless, insidious and cunning.

Guo Jing heard the one by one, and said with some anger: "How dare a thief be so arrogant? ”

"Although General Li is going to the banquet, I will go with you, and I will never let them hurt you a single hair."

Li Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you Guo Daxia, with Guo Daxia here, I forgive those thieves and don't dare to make a mistake." ”

……

With such a big movement in the prefect's yamen, it is naturally impossible to hide it from the well-informed Guo Sheng.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, a cold look appeared on his face, "I know that you will be mixed together, with Li Hu's character, what words can be said and what dirty water can be spilled, naturally you can imagine." ”

As he spoke, he summoned his own soldiers and asked, "Have all the things I ordered you to arrange have been arranged?" ”

"If you go back to the general, everything has been arranged."

Guo Sheng had a sneer on his face, "That's good, so I'll wait to see a good show." ”

He had already arranged everything for tonight, and the enemy's every move could not be hidden from his eyes.

At this time, Lu Nianchou didn't get too involved in the affairs of Xiangyang City, even if he knew that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had returned to Xiangyang, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Although Guo Jing's martial arts are high, Huang Rong is even more scheming, and the husband and wife can call on the heroes and heroes of the world together, and they are indeed a big force.

But his current martial arts have become more and more terrifying unconsciously, with an idle system, and even the horizontal practice kung fu that was trapped in the bottleneck in the past has improved every day.

He could already feel that the day of refining the Golden Tripod Dharma Body was not far away.

As for the sword mastery, the internal strength is light, and it is stronger day by day, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong are no longer in his eyes.

However, after all, the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master is Cheng Ying's master, and his own wife is inextricably linked with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, so Lu Nianchou did not think about embarrassing them.

As for what Guo Sheng was going to do, he did not approve of it and did not oppose it.

If the matter is done and the reputation of Guo Jing and Huang Rong can be ruined, it will naturally be a good thing.

If things fail, it has nothing to do with them, just take it as a beating on Guo Sheng.

This is also the tacit understanding between him and Guo Sheng.

As for killing Guo Jing and Huang Rong, neither he nor Guo Sheng has such thoughts at present, with the prestige of the husband and wife in the martial arts and Xiangyang City, doing so is simply asking for trouble.

Lu Nianchou rested at Cheng Ying's place for the night, and when it was dawn the next day, he had already gotten up under her service and was ready to go out to find the Valley of Despair.

Due to the bloody battle experienced at this time, there was a bloody aura everywhere inside and outside the city, even if he had the magical technique of Yin Yang Heavenly Gong, it was difficult to find the aura left by Li Mochou.

He could only take the map prepared by Guo Sheng and look for it one by one, but he didn't find anything until sunset.

Lu Nianchou didn't think about going back, and the longer Li Mochou disappeared, the more uneasy he felt.

Before, it was because Cheng Ying had just arrived in Xiangyang and had not yet settled down, and had experienced a bloody battle, so he stayed in Xiangyang to accompany her for one night.

Now that the dust has basically settled on the side of Xiangyang City, with the means of Guo Sheng and others, if they can't even deal with a Li Hu, it is also a group of wine bags and rice bags.

Therefore, he searched in the wilderness despite the darkness, and even with his light skills, it was not easy to find a needle in a haystack and find a hidden valley.

Just when he was looking for Li Mochou in the wilderness, a banquet that had already been prepared on the side of Xiangyang City had completely kicked off.

This was a nominal celebration banquet, and the high-ranking officials of the entire Xiangyang City, as well as the squires who could speak in the city, all appeared.

At the banquet, delicacies and wines have been prepared, and there are young women dancing, and everyone is staggered, and the atmosphere is very warm.

After all, this was a rare victory for Xiangyang City, or an unprecedented victory for the entire Song Dynasty against the Mongols, and many people felt joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Those local squires are strong and strong, and naturally everyone sings praises for their merits, and they are touting Guo Sheng and Li Hu, who turned the tide this time.

As for Lu Nianchou's reputation, it has already spread throughout Xiangyang City, and even a three-year-old child knows that he broke through 10,000 troops alone and took the head of the enemy general among tens of thousands of troops.

In such an atmosphere, who would have thought that Guo Sheng and Li Hu both had their own thoughts and hidden murderous intentions.

As the banquet time continued to pass, Li Hu became more and more anxious, and even a thin layer of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.

He had already discussed with Guo Jing that he would come to the banquet together, but before leaving, Guo Jing was suddenly called away by Huang Rong, saying that he was in a hurry and would be able to rush back soon.

Li Hu knew that Guo Jing was a promise, so although he was a little uneasy, he could only agree.

Seeing that time was slowly passing, but Guo Jing was never seen, he sent three groups of people to look for Guo Jing in succession, but no one was found at all.

At this time, a henchman came to the desk where he was sitting, leaned over and whispered, "My lord, the people we sent were not able to enter the Guo Mansion at all, and all the people were sent back. ”

"It is said that something important happened to Mrs. Guo's side, and she has dragged Guo Jing out of Xiangyang City overnight."

"What?" Li Hu couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard this, and said through gritted teeth: "How can this be? Damn it, he actually released my pigeons? ”

"Just a country man, I have already given him enough face, how dare he do this?"

Seeing that he was so angry and furious that he could not even maintain a semblance of peace.

Guo Sheng, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly said loudly: "Lord Li Hu, I waited for today to celebrate the unprecedented victory of Xiangyang City, so we gathered together. ”

"But Master Li is busy with things, even in the midst of banquets and drinks, he is constantly busy with official affairs, and it is really admirable to have such a heart for the country and the people."

"I just don't know what Master Li is busy with? If there is a difficulty, you can say it, and everyone here can help. ”

At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet was warm, and a big battle, although it caused great losses to the entire Xiangyang City, it was not necessarily all bad for those squires and heroes.

Many forces in the city were scattered, and after so many people died, many shops, casinos, green buildings, and fields became ownerless.

This is undoubtedly an extremely large fortune, and they are like a flock of vultures, staring at this piece of fat, and everyone wants to go up and take a bite.

And the one who can decide the distribution of benefits, the one with the most right to speak is Guo Sheng and Li Hu.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that behind Guo Sheng, there is still a young hero who can defeat ten thousand people, and that one is the real ruthless man.

Anyone who witnessed Lu Nianchou killing on the battlefield had indescribable admiration and jealousy for him.

In this case, even if Li Hu holds the army, he must be a head short of Guo Sheng.

Therefore, when they heard Guo Sheng speak at this time, many people spoke in agreement.

"What Master Guo said is right, Master Li, what are you embarrassed about, just say it."

"We are all robes who fight side by side, and we can be regarded as having experienced life and death together, and if there is anything that needs help, we will never refuse."

Everyone opened their mouths and said, but Li Hu's face was slightly pale, obviously he kept drinking, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Thank you General Guo for your concern, it's just some trivial government affairs, it's not a big deal, and the people are cautious, so I asked a lot."

Guo Sheng didn't continue to ask, just chuckled and said: "Since there is no major matter, although the Mongols are forced to retreat now, we all know that the main army of the Mongolian Great Khan Wokotai is divided into three routes, and it is still attacking our Great Song Dynasty in an all-round way." ”

"The battlefield of Xiangyang is just one of the great armies, although Tachar was killed, the Mongols may not come back."

"If you want to defend Xiangyang City, you still have to rely on your concerted efforts."

Li Hu is naturally only professed, not at all like a general in charge of the army, but like Guo Sheng's subordinate.

After another round of drinking, Guo Sheng suddenly said to Li Hu: "Lord Li, I heard that you have a concubine named Mei Niang, who is very beautiful, and is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the secret art of boudoir, which is unforgettable. ”

"My old Guo is alone in this Xiangyang City, and I don't even have a caring concubine, I don't know if Master Li can cut his love and give Mei Niang to me to warm the bed?"

When Li Hu heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and his body was a little stiff.

Although Mei Niang is just his concubine, due to the early death of his wife, he has been pampered by Mei Niang in every way over the years.

If it weren't for his old mother to stop her, she would have been helped into the main room.

What's more, Mei Niang also gave birth to a son and a daughter for herself, which is her only son.

The finger that Guo Sheng sent someone to take off before was the youngest son born to Mei Niang.

At this time, begging yourself for a girl is simply a naked humiliation, and you want to step on your head and let yourself crawl to the ground.

Li Hu knew very well in his heart that Guo Sheng wanted to bow his head in front of the nobles of Xiangyang City, and from now on, everyone would understand who was in charge of the entire Xiangyang City.

Whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, you can see one or two through this banquet.

These people present are all human spirits, if they are soft now, they will immediately fall down and be pushed by everyone, and then if there is no golden opportunity, they will never think about turning over.

But if you refuse......

Li Hu raised his head to look at Guo Sheng's faint gaze, and the whole person seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and he felt a complete chill.

"If you dare to refuse, I'm afraid you may not be able to leave this banquet alive."

"In ancient times, Duke Pei went to the Hongmen banquet of the overlord, and today's banquet is not a naked Hongmen banquet."

"I thought that with Guo Jing as a support, I could make this person not so unscrupulous, but now that Guo Jing is not around, I'm afraid things will be troublesome."

"And his own little son, if you refuse......"

Li Hu was full of thoughts for a while, his face was blue and white, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Why can't Lord Li even give up a concubine?" Guo Sheng's face also turned cold, he snorted coldly, and directly smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table in front of him, and the wine splashed out.

The musicians and dancers at the banquet were all frightened and trembling, and they all froze in place, not daring to breathe.

The other squires and Haoqiang looked at each other and looked at Li Hu, and the atmosphere in the field became extremely silent and depressing for a moment.

Li Hu unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat on his back, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

"It's really a disappointment, it's just a concubine, but I didn't expect Lord Li to refuse to cut his love."

Guo Sheng waved his hand and said, "Well, since Master Li is unwilling, I naturally won't force it." ”

As he said this, the atmosphere in the field suddenly relaxed slightly.

Immediately, someone said: "It's just a mere woman, since there is a shortage of people around General Guo to warm the bed, then I will pick out a few beautiful and moving virgins from the mansion, and let people send them to the general's mansion later." ”

"Yes, what is a mere woman, I have a room of concubines in my heart, it is very moving, there is a special taste in it, and I will let someone send it to the general later."

"Haha, the little girl is now a young age, although she is a concubine and not so virtuous, she can also serve tea and pour water for the general, and send it to the general's mansion to serve the general."

For a while, everyone spoke one after another, some sent concubines, some sent daughters, and some sent out some courtesans who were kept in the house.

Li Hu became more and more embarrassed in the audience, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, but at this time, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and his whole eyes turned black.

"This ......"

He instantly looked at Guo Sheng, and suddenly saw the cold luster in the other party's eyes.

Li Hu instantly understood, he was willing to bow his head tonight, so that he could leave the banquet safe and sound.

But if you don't obey yourself......

Feeling a sharp pain in his chest, everything in front of him seemed to start to go into a trance, and he finally felt an incomparable amount of fear.

"He actually had someone poison me?! When did it happen? ”

Li Hu was panicked and angry, but at this time, his throat suddenly became sweet, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

He couldn't hold it anymore, pushed away the table in front of him, and staggered to his feet, "Guo Sheng, you actually poisoned the wine?!" ”

"Do you want to poison everyone present?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and many people squirted out immediately halfway through their drinks.

"Li Hu, you are presumptuous!" Guo Sheng slammed the wine glass in his hand in front of Li Hu, and the wine in the cup suddenly soaked his clothes.

"I enjoyed the wine on the table today, and everyone present was safe and sound, and I drank this wine together."

"Could it be that I want to poison myself?"

Guo Sheng said in a cold tone: "I just asked you for a concubine just now, and if you are reluctant, forget it, and pour dirty water on me." ”

"Do you really think that I Guo Sheng is a good bully?"

"You ......" Li Hu was simply angry, his eyes turned black, and the bloody breath in his throat became heavier and heavier.

He felt more and more frightened, only that the other party really wanted to kill him in front of everyone.

The more Li Hu thought about it, the more frightened he became, I don't know if it was because of the weakness of his legs and feet, or because of the fear in his heart, he pounced and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Master Guo, please let me live!"
