Zong Yang objected: "I don't think it's necessarily ......"

"You don't need to say it, this time we are in control, then Xia Li is not able to do it, and we have to end it, and then we will write to Lord Xiao Xinyuan, informing Xia Li that his stupid move will definitely lower Xia Li's score in Lord Xiao Xinyuan's heart, and then we can take advantage of the situation. ”

Lu Nan interrupted Zong Yang's words, his eyes showed a bit of happiness, as if he had thought of the time when Xia Li fell, but he didn't know that the officials on the side were calculating how to trap them.

......

For this banquet, Xia Li did not make it formal, but opened a place in the outer hall of the Wolf Tooth Guard to receive guests.

Xia Li's pomp this time was big enough, and it was nothing more than a foreshadowing for himself to kill Lu Nan and a few other ill-intentioned people.

It was around noon, and quite a few people had already arrived.

A middle-aged man in a blue robe walked into the outer hall of the Wolf Tooth Guard, Xia Li looked down from the main seat above, and stood up to greet someone when he saw someone coming.

"This is the new Zhengyin head catcher Xia Lixia, right? Sure enough, he is young and promising, he has such strength at a young age, he is really a young man!"

The middle-aged man in the blue robe didn't put on a show, but hugged his fists and smiled, looking at his appearance, he looked like a simple person, but unfortunately the cunning in his eyes told Xia Li that this person's honesty was just an illusion.

Xia Li was also not arrogant, and hugged his fists in return: "This is Xu Xingzhou, the master of the Xishan Sect, right? ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Xia Li brought Xu Xingzhou into the table.

At this moment, there have been people one after another, and Xia Li has given them enough face, and he did not put on an official stand, but acted like a junior, which made those forces who were originally hostile to the Wolf Tooth Guard a little more favorable.

At the end, when the banquet was about to start, the four of Lu Nan were late.

In fact, they deliberately came late, and it was also the strategy of the officials, according to the meaning of the officials, they deliberately came here at the latest to embarrass Xia Li.

If Xia Li doesn't punish them, he will lose his share in front of everyone, and if he punishes them, they will not accept it, and then he will embarrass Xia Li in front of everyone.

This is also a strategy that Fang Yi and Xia Li discussed before.

Let the officials come up with this plan, let Lu Nan and the others deliberately do this, and Xia Li will pretend to be nothing and not punish them, making them feel that Xia Li will not dare to punish them in public.

When the time comes, they will definitely be angry, remembering that Xia Li does not dare to punish them, they will definitely have more courage to be angry with Xia Li, and then Xia Li will have enough reasons to kill them.

Lu Nan and the others walked up to Xia Li with a somewhat perfunctory appearance, and said casually with their fists: "I've seen adults." ”

The other guests looked at this one after another, with a bit of banter, they could all see that Lu Nan and the others were not convinced by Xia Li, and they didn't even take Xia Li, an adult above their official position, in their eyes, this was a matter of the wolf tooth guard, and they just happened to see the excitement.

Xia Li said with a gloomy face: "Today, I, Xia Li, have a banquet for the lords of various forces in Linyang City, the banquet is huge and there is an urgent shortage of manpower, why are you here so late?"

Seeing that Xia Li was a little angry, Lu Nan and the others laughed secretly in their hearts, and said indifferently on the surface: "What Lord Xia said is not right, why do you need the four of us to prepare for such a trivial matter as a banquet, there are thousands of wolf fangs here to catch fast, isn't it enough to prepare for this banquet?"

"You....... Very good, today is my wolf tooth guard banquet for others, so I don't have to worry about losing the face of your family, you can do it yourself!"

Xia Li deliberately made a strong appearance of suppressing anger, waved his robe, and said in a deep voice: "Come to the table, just wait for the four of you." ”

Seeing that Xia Li was holding back his anger for the sake of the face of the wolf tooth guard and didn't care about them, Lu Nan and the others were happy in their hearts, and they still said lazily on the surface: "My subordinates obey orders." ”

Immediately, the four of them entered the table, and the others shook their heads slightly when they saw this, it seemed that this Lord Xia Li didn't seem to be very good, and he was actually coerced by several subordinates, looking like he was holding back his anger, not like a Zhengyin head catcher should react.

As a result, everyone's evaluation of Xia Li was lower, and an official who couldn't even suppress his subordinates was undoubtedly a loser.

Xia Li didn't care, but a smile appeared on his face, raised his wine glass and said: "I, Xia Li, have just arrived, and I will do things in Linyang City in the future, and I want your support a lot, I'll do it first." ”

After the words fell, he drank all the cups of rice wine, and everyone gave face and drank a bowl of wine in front of them.

Xia Li said with a smile: "Since there is good wine, it is natural to have good meat, before the crops in the land outside Linyang City were deeply affected by birds, Xia also wanted to do something for people, so he sent the wolf tooth guard to hunt and kill the birds, and then the meat of those birds was discarded, and it was a pity to make several delicacies for you to enjoy, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

After speaking, more than a dozen wolf tooth guards came here with a large plate and put it on the table, Xia Li also kept looking at Lu Nan and the others, only to see that after the table full of delicacies was served, the faces of the four of them were already extremely gloomy.

It seems that this taboo is really easy to use.

Xia Li was distracted and glanced at the others again, only to see that there was nothing strange in the eyes of the others, Xia Li had been sending his men to hunt and kill birds a few days ago, and they had also posted notices, and they all knew that it was indeed a pity to lose the meat of those birds, after all, there were many birds whose meat was extremely delicious.

So at this moment, Xia Li used the meat of these birds to entertain them, and they didn't feel inappropriate.

On the other side, Lu Nan and the others didn't think so.

Although I know the previous custom, it is nonsense not to eat the meat of birds, but the things that have been built in the soul since childhood are indelible, not to mention the people of Lunan, even if they are the officials who conspired with Xia Li, they are a little depressed when they look at so much meat of birds at this time.

"Xia Li, you thief is too deceitful!"

Just when everyone was preparing for the banquet, suddenly a table was smashed into pieces, and I saw that Lu Nan and the three of them got up in a rage, looking at Xia Li's appearance as if they were looking at the enemy who killed his father.

Lu Nan and the others were thinking about embarrassing Xia Li, but at this moment, the plan was scattered by the meat of this bird, and all that was left in their minds was anger.

Anyway, Xia Li didn't dare to do anything to them in public, remembering that they were late and disrespectful to Xia Li before, Xia Li didn't say anything, at this moment they were all full of self-confidence, thinking that even so, Xia Li didn't dare to do anything to them.
