Volume 1 Entering the Sect Chapter 69 Banquet
The hall of "Piaoxiang Restaurant" is full of people, and there is an endless stream of diners. On the third floor of the restaurant, it was quiet, and the hustle and bustle downstairs didn't seem to come up at all.
At this time, the two of them sat opposite each other in a private room on the third floor of the restaurant, and Zhao Liang smiled and poured a glass of spiritual wine for the person opposite, and then filled it for himself.
"Brother Huang, junior brother, I have been in the sect for nine years, thank you for your kindness and help to me in these nine years. Little brother, I'll do it first!" Zhao Liang finished speaking, and drank all the spirit wine in his cup.
And the "Brother Huang" in Zhao Liang's mouth is the head of the Yellow Treasury in the treasury of the sect.
Seeing that "Brother Huang" happily drank the wine in the cup, Zhao Liang was extremely happy, and quickly got up and filled it up for the other party. Immediately, Zhao Liang took out two wine glasses from the table next to him, side by side with his own wine glasses, and filled them with wine.
"Brother Huang, this time I punished myself three glasses, I haven't been able to eat Brother Huang once in the past nine years, and I haven't drunk a single drink, it's my fault. After speaking, Zhao Liang drank the three glasses of wine in front of him one by one.
"I don't blame Brother Zhao for this, I haven't been busy, I wiped your face, Brother Zhao, and I can't help it. After speaking, Huang Kutou also drank all the wine in the cup.
After a while, the wine passed three rounds, the dishes passed five flavors, and the two talked happily.
"Brother Huang summoned him this time, I don't know what happened?" Zhao Liang asked quietly after saluting Huang Kutou with another glass of wine.
Huang Kutou did not reply to Zhao Liang's words at the first time, but took a sip of wine first, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "I can't hide it, this time I really want to ask Brother Zhao for help." β
After speaking, Huang Kutou reached out and took out a token from his arms and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhao Liang with his hand.
"In a few days, a son-in-law in the sect is going to hold a birthday celebration, this token is the guard token of the birthday celebration, I hope you can take this token to participate in this event. After Huang Kutou finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Liang tightly.
Zhao Liang did not reach out to take this token, but looked at it carefully, this is not an ordinary guard token, but a "team positive" token.
Holders of this token are primarily responsible for the security of this event.
In the Cangyue Sect, there were countless activities large and small throughout the year, and the disciples of the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall were simply unable to provide protection one by one. Therefore, some unimportant activities that require monks to guard are to select disciples from the sect, and these things are the responsibility of Pepsido.
Such activities are time-consuming, well-paid, and do not worry about lack of manpower.
In the past nine years, I don't know how many times I invited Huang Kutou, but the other party never agreed to come out for dinner. And today the other party took the initiative to invite himself to dinner, if it is said that there is no greasy here.
Zhao Liang smiled bitterly, "Brother Huang, is there any difficulty in this matter?"
"It's not difficult, it's just that someone wants to assassinate this boy in this event. Huang Kutou's fluttering words scared Zhao Liang half to death, and he didn't even notice that the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.
"Brother Huang is going to be joking, if that's the case, then I'm not going to die. According to the rules of the Cangyue faction, if this boy dies in the event, the "team leader" who is responsible for guarding the safety of the event will definitely die.
Huang Kutou ate his dishes leisurely, and said without raising his head, "You can rest assured, although the assassin's cultivation is comparable to yours, you will definitely be the one who survives." β
"Brother Huang, I have something to do recently. Zhao Liang said helplessly.
Although the other party has some small favors to himself, if he wants to give up his life to repay him, then the other party is too naΓ―ve.
Huang Kutou was still immersed in the "struggle" of a roast leg of lamb in front of him, and he had the momentum of not giving up if he didn't take it down.
"Yesterday I met an old man on an unnamed hill outside the sect, this old man is very good at bragging, and he is very good at talking about himself.
It just so happened that I saw a silver needle seven or eight inches long under a stone, so I pulled it out. There were still blood stains on the silver needle, so I asked the old man to speculate on the origin of the silver needle and the blood stains.
The old man looked at the silver needle for a while, and then opened his mouth and said that the blood stains on the silver needles belonged to two people, and the blood stains had been stained for six or seven years. It is also said that there is a secret method to find the owner of the bloodstain based on this bloodstain, and if the owner of the bloodstain dies, it can find the item used during his lifetime.
I think this old man is bragging, Brother Zhao, do you think this old man is bragging?" Huang Kutou laboriously swallowed all the mutton in his mouth into his stomach, and then vaguely said a topic that seemed to be impossible to hit with eight poles. Huang Kutou stared at Zhao Liang intently when he said these words.
Zhao Liang's face became very ugly, "Who are you, how can you know about this?"
Zhao Liang slowly stood up, and the cultivation of the seventh-layer peak of Qi refining was also released little by little, and pressed towards the Huang Kutou on the opposite side.
Huang Kutou originally only had a fourth-level cultivation of qi refining, but under the pressure of Zhao Liang's momentum, he did not show weakness at all. I saw that Huang Kutou's momentum was also improving little by little, and finally suppressed Zhao Liang's momentum.
"What do you want?" When Zhao Liang's momentum was completely suppressed, Zhao Hao collapsed on the seat as if he had been twitched.
Zhao Liang had already inquired into the roots of this Huangkutou, and knew that after this Huangkutou was injured, it was an injury examined by a late-stage foundation building monk in the sect, and after the examination, this late-stage foundation building monk said: This person's cultivation is damaged, and he will not be able to break through the fourth-layer cultivation of qi refining for the rest of his life.
But now, the momentum shown by this person is much more powerful than his own, when did this person's cultivation recover?
The forces behind this person must have more resources than the late-stage foundation building monk of the Cangyue Sect in order to restore Huangkutou's cultivation to its original state.
And he was targeted by the other party as soon as he entered the sect, and now he knows that the other party has already held his own handle in his hands, and he can only obediently listen to the other party's arrangement in the future. It's just that Zhao Liang's conscience is a little unwilling, and they have become the lackeys of the other party, but they don't know how sacred the other party is.
Zhao Liang is very self-aware, knowing that in front of these forces, he is at most a slightly stronger ant, and the slightest disobedience will be shattered.
"Don't try to find out who is behind me, that's death-seeking. All you need to know is that this mission is the first official test of the forces against you, and you just need to complete this mission well. β
"Let me emphasize that your task is to become this son's henchman. The thing about this banquet is an opportunity created by the organization for you, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future. β
"Do you want to know why I chose you in the first place?" Huang Kutou's words seemed to be a demonic temptation, which made people frightened and couldn't help but get closer.
"On the third day that your disciples entered the sect, I had the detailed information of each of you in my hands. This information is much more detailed and real than the information in the hands of the Cangyue faction, such as your identity!"
When Zhao Liang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing Zhao Liang's reaction, Huang Kutou smiled, "Look, it's been nine years since you entered the sect, and the number of times I helped you is almost uncountable." It's such a little thing today, let me say so many things, and scare you enough, you see how bad this is!"
When he saw Zhao Liang slowly receiving the token in his arms, Huang Kutou showed a smug smile, like a fox coaxing a chicken.
"I forgot to tell you, this son's surname is Kou, and he is the grandson of the previous master of the Dark Hall. β
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Huang Kutou gently threw a bone in his hand behind him. I only heard the soft sound of the "wave", as if a transparent cover had been broken. The voice outside the private room suddenly came in, and the surroundings were unexpectedly laid with a "sound insulation" spell by Huang Kutou at some point.
Zhao Liang was still slumped in his chair, watching Huang Kutou leave, but he didn't mean to send it at all.
Huang Kutou walked briskly, humming a cheerful tune in his mouth, and left the restaurant and went into a dim alley.
Huang Kutou, who walked into the alley, immediately choked on his footsteps, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound. With the help of the dim light, it was vaguely clear that it was a mouthful of black blood, and at the same time, a thick stench came from the air.
"Have you taken the pill?" asked a man covered in darkness.
"Yes, I know this person's character, and only if I am strong enough will the other party be afraid of the forces behind me. It's good for him and for me, isn't it?"
"Is it worth it?"
"As long as I can kill the surname Kou, I will not regret doing anything. There was a crazy look in Huang Kutou's eyes.
