Chapter 3 3 Chapter 3 The Elder is arrogant
East City, East Fence Restaurant.
Li Wuchang invited guests, originally only invited Lu Ting, Lin Qin, and Guo Yunling to catch up with the old days, and everyone was talking happily, who knew that many people came uninvited and crowded the private room.
Lu Xuanming, Zhang Yanbo, Guo Yunlei, He Yi, and some idle sons.
"Impermanence, I'm not invited today, I just want to be a peacemaker......" After everyone was polite, Lu Xuanming opened his mouth to explain his intentions, with a smile on his face, and his tone changed from arrogant in the past.
Li Wuchang was stunned when he heard Lu Xuanming's tone.
It can't be sent by Lu Xuandong, right?
As for the crown prince and Lu Xuandong, Li Wuchang has not been in contact with them for a long time since the separation of the sect, and he has rarely come into contact with their capable officers.
As for Lu Xuanming, everyone knows that he has a deep grudge with Li Wuchang.
It's just that I don't know what Lu Xuanming is specifically for this time.
Peacemakers? After all, it's not that the Zhang family wants to make peace with themselves, right? It shouldn't be, if that's the case, it won't be Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo's turn to come forward.
Maybe it was some kind of conspiracy, Li Wuchang secretly speculated in his heart, but he didn't have much panic in his heart.
"Peacemaker?" Li Wuchang looked puzzled and said, "I have left Chang'an City since last year, and I rarely come back, so there should be no one in Chang'an City who has any conflicts with me, right?"
"Hey, I heard that there has always been some unhappiness between Zhang Yanbo and impermanence, so ......" Lu Xuanming said lightly, talking about things that the whole of Chang'an City knew.
Li Wuchang let out a faint sigh, and then looked at Zhang Yanbo, his eyes showing murderous intent.
Zhang Yanbo was clever and didn't speak, if Zhang Xiu hadn't sent him, he really didn't want to come.
Yesterday's arson case in the west of the city, the Zhang family suffered heavy losses, six important people have disappeared so far, two dens have been destroyed, not to mention ordinary property, there are many things such as intelligence record books, contact lists, and account books of contacts have also been burned.
The government has been investigating for a day, and there are no useful clues at all.
The dead were all underground characters of the Zhang family, and the other party was obviously prepared, and after being prepared very well, he then launched a thunderous blow, which was extremely sharp.
Zhang Jia, Liu Zhifan, and Du Chengye all guessed that Li Wuchang did it, but it was just a guess.
Last night, Zhang Su smashed the table on the spot, and said that he would kill Li Wuchang while he was suffering serious internal injuries to prevent future troubles, and even called people up immediately.
Zhang Yu and Zhang Xiu reminded Zhang Su that they must not be impulsive at this moment, if the action is unsuccessful and Li Wuchang catches some leak, then the Zhang family will be even more passive.
Li Wuchang is now getting stronger, facing the Zhang family in Chang'an City, and he is quite barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
The Zhang family had enough headaches in the face of the rumors in the city and the notices of Dali Temple, and Li Wuchang's pursuit of victory was expected, but Zhang Xiu didn't expect Li Wuchang to be so neat.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Xiu asked Zhang Yanbo to move Lu Xuanming to come forward and stabilize Li Wuchang a little, so that the Zhang family could breathe a sigh of relief, whether it was to suppress the rumors or arrange the next step to prevent Li Wuchang, it would take time.
God knows what crazy plans Li Wuchang has.
Therefore, there is the so-called "peace" scene today.
Li Wuchang nodded and said lightly: "The relationship between me and Zhang Yanbo is not unpleasant, but to see life and death, which is known to the whole of Chang'an City, but since the three highnesses have come forward, it will be too much for me to say if I don't give face!"
After a pause, he continued: "In this way, let Zhang Yanbo kneel on the ground and kowtow to me a hundred times, and then accompany me for 500,000 taels of silver, and I won't trouble him for the time being." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Zhang Yanbo's face turned black in an instant.
"Li Wuchang, what do you mean? I came to be a peacemaker with good intentions, what kind of attitude do you have, do you take me in your eyes?" Lu Xuanming took the case, revealing his true colors.
Li Wuchang's face was as usual, he drank a cup of tea, and said lightly: "Third Highness, don't get excited, you may not know much about the grievances between me and Zhang Yanbo, and it is definitely not a problem that can be solved by drinking a glass of wine and shaking hands." As the prince of the Third Highness, of course I have to give face, if it weren't for you coming, Zhang Yanbo would be a cripple if not a dead man now!"
Zhang Yanbo shook in fright.
Guo Yunlei and He Yi looked at Li Wuchang and frowned.
Lu Ting and the others looked as usual, but they were secretly worried in their hearts, Li Wuchang asked them to avoid it just now, they didn't leave, they just wanted to stay and have a look.
Lu Xuanming snorted coldly and said, "I didn't know that you Li Wuchang were so bold now!"
Li Wuchang said with a smile: "Third Highness, of course, you have to pay a price for resolving grievances, if you can end the great grievances with a glass of wine and shake hands, then what do you have to do with the army? Otherwise, everyone will form a team and go to drink with the Xiongnu and Khitan, maybe they will retire after drinking." ”
Lu Xuanming said coldly: "What big grievances can you have?"
Li Wuchang shrugged: "Didn't he tell you?...... Since His Royal Highness is willing to pretend to be confused, I don't bother to repeat it, and you won't believe it. ”
Then he looked at Zhang Yanbo and said fiercely: "Zhang Yanbo, I seem to have warned you not to dangle in front of me, right?" I really admire your courage, it seems that I really underestimated you before, but now the world is so chaotic, you only bring two guards and dare to wander around the street, are you not afraid that some crazy killers will target you?"
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Yanbo saw Li Wuchang looking at him like a dead chicken, and his heart was filled with boundless fear, for fear that Li Wuchang would suddenly make a move.
The Zhang family sent so many masters who were killed by Li Wuchang, and the two guards were useless.
Li Wuchang said lightly: "I don't want to do anything, I just remind you to pay attention to your own life, your martial arts are so bad, a five-grade can easily kill you." ”
After saying that, he got up and continued: "Everyone, the younger brother is riddled with mundane things, so I will be lost here first...... Lord Ting, Miss Lin, and Miss Guo, today's old memories are not enjoyable, and I can't be blamed for this, but Zhang Yanbo is to blame! Let's get together next time, I will still do some murder and arson...... Well, the self-cultivation thing. ”
After that, he pushed the door and walked out.
Leaving a push of people looking at each other.
Lu Xuanming and the other sons and brothers all had the same feeling, Li Wuchang didn't take them seriously at all, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
......
That night, a fire broke out in Xuanpingfang, and it was the house where Li Wuchang lived, the house was very large, and the fire was monstrous, causing great movement, and the officers and soldiers worked together with nearby residents to extinguish the fire.
According to nearby residents, they first heard very intense fighting and shouting, and then saw the fire, but fortunately there were no casualties.
The next day, Li Wuchang's hands and head were wrapped in bandages, his face was dark, it was smoked by thick smoke, and he walked with a limp, and most of the guards were like this, looking very embarrassed.
"Someone assassinated me, the killer is very clever, fortunately, I have been assassinated recently and I am used to being on guard, plus the guards desperately protect me to let me pick up a small life, you must investigate thoroughly!"
Li Wuchang was very emotional when he went to the official office to tell the situation, and said that it was too dangerous to stay in Chang'an City, and he would rather go to Hedong to face the Hanshui Gang or go to Jingzhou to fight with Jukou Zuoqian, and leave the city after a few days of cultivation.
At that time, many people were onlookers, causing a sensation.
While everyone watched the excitement, they were making all kinds of guesses in their hearts.
It didn't take long for the rumors to become more violent, and they were all about the Zhang family's bullying of Li Wuchang.
There are many people who complain about Li Wuchang, most of them are very vague and do not directly name them.
"The elder is arrogant and wants to kill the lord!"
"A lord who went to the battlefield desperately, because he accidentally offended the elders of a big family in the past, not only was he sinisterly plotted on the battlefield, but he couldn't even go back to Chang'an City to recuperate, or he was assassinated, he was simply mad!"
"The elder is so arrogant and no one cares, where is the heavenly reason!"
"It's really sad that I'd rather go to Hedong to face the Hanshui Gang, and I'd rather go to Jingzhou and fight with Jukou Zuoqian than stay in the capital!"
"Yes, when I reported the crime, I was covered in bandages, there were dark red blood stains, and I couldn't walk steadily, I almost burst into tears when I looked at it!"
"I'm used to being assassinated, you heard it!"
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the safety of the lord who has made military exploits cannot be guaranteed, what is the reason?"
"I'll tell you the truth, the elder is arrogant, and treats the law as nothing!"
"The elder is really too deceitful!"
"I've never seen such a brazen elder!"
"Severely punish the elders!"
There are also those who deliberately say the opposite with sarcasm.
"The elder is fiercer than the Hanshui Gang!"
"The majesty of the elder cannot be offended, and the lord is innocent of death!"
"Provoking the elders, there is only one way to die!"
"This is the courage that an elder should have!"
"The elder has the next big move, everyone pay attention, and see how the offending person died. ”
"The elder is mighty, and the gods can't stop it. ”
The rumors spread too fast.
Many officials asked Zhang Xiu what "the elder is arrogant" and "the elder is fiercer than the Hanshui Gang" means, how could Zhang Xiu answer, he could only snort coldly with a black face.
And Zhang Su is said to have broken more than a dozen tables in one day, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.
......
Xuanpingfang.
Li Wuchang laughed: "How about this at this time?"
The fat bear gave a thumbs up and said, "High, it's really high...... The elder is arrogant, punish the elder severely!"
Everyone laughed.
Li Wuchang set fire to himself, and the movement he made was too big, and in just one day, "the arrogance of the elders" became a buzzword.
Jiang Minglun frowned and said, "Will it be too much?" I'm afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry!"
Li Wuchang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, although the rumors have some effect, but it is useless to not be able to produce evidence." I didn't expect it too much, I just wanted to disgust Zhang Su and Zhang Xiu as hypocrites first, and then do something...... Next, let's be together, pay attention to safety, and see if we can take advantage of the chaos to do two more votes, if we can chop off some more minions, it would be great, and then we will go out of Chang'an. ”
The crowd nodded.
