Chapter 16: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Along the way, Liu Ruoshui sorted things out clearly.

Zhu Yi's attack is naturally true, but if there is no big threat, it may not be.

Although there are more than 100,000 people under Zhu Wei, they are actually just 100,000 rabble, although they have a numerical advantage, they do not have much combat effectiveness.

Xiangyang is a famous city, and a city like this is difficult to attack unless it runs out of ammunition and food, or if there is an internal problem.

The name of Zhu Jie's man-eating demon king can be said to be known to women and children, and everyone in Xiangyang City knows what Zhu Wei is, so the whole city will inevitably have the heart of death.

In other words, unless Xiangyang City is a group of stupid donkeys and Trojans, there is no reason to be conquered by Zhu Wei.

Liu Ruoshui knows this truth, and other people will not understand it.

Then, this banquet of Qian Duguan may be a "Hongmen banquet".

At this time, although Qian Duguan is the "uncrowned king" of Xiangyang City, there is a difference between the uncrowned king and the crowned king after all.

If Liu Ruoshui expected it to be true, the reason why Qian Duguan was able to dominate Xiangyang was probably the most important role of this banquet.

However, for Liu Ruoshui, this is a good thing.

No matter what kind of plan Qian Duguan has, the most delicious bite of cake will inevitably be swallowed by Liu Ruoshui.

After all, in the entire Xiangyang City, Liu Ruoshui's martial arts are the highest and his fists are the largest.

Qian Duguan, the mansion of the richest man in Xiangyang, was built on a hill in the northeast of the city, covering an extremely wide area and a grand scale. At a glance, there are many houses in the woods, and the weather is myriad.

Just in the middle of the square at the entrance, set up a huge Ao Mountain, high knot color grid, hang Kit Kat lanterns all over, no less than 10,000 lights, brilliant and dazzling, illuminate inside and outside as bright as day.

The guests who came to congratulate were endless, crowded with ladies in brocade clothes and embroidered clothes, and laughed and played in the deafening firecrackers and gunsmoke, which was especially better than the atmosphere of the New Year.

The house is full of lights, and all the servants are dispatched to greet visitors.

Qian Duguan lives up to the name of the richest man in Xiangyang, but the main mansion composed of three entrances shows the ability of luxury and wealth

The front hall is not only large in area, high in space, and gorgeously decorated, but its momentum is comparable to the palace in the palace. The central six golden pillars of the cricket dragon go straight to the roof, the ceiling is covered with pattern carvings, and the caisson in the center is the three-dimensional relief of the two dragons fighting for pearls. Other furniture and ornaments are very particular.

At this time, nearly 20 tables of banquets were set up in the hall, and more than 100 guests gathered, but there was still no feeling of crowding.

It is as spacious as the front hall, with only 10 seats, four of which are in the center and 6 are evenly distributed on both sides, highlighting the distinguished position of the four seats in the hall.

The guests who can be arranged to the inner hall are the most prominent figures, such as Qian Duguan, the nominal Xiangyang Taishou, Zheng Shuming, Liu Ruoshui, and the owner of the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall, Fengyun, and dozens of other people, and those who are not enough can only participate in the banquet in the other two halls.

Liu Ruoshui didn't come early, most of the chairs were already there, Liu Ruoshui glanced at it and found that there was only one acquaintance, Zheng Shuming, so he sat down beside her.

wants to be pretty, filial piety, perhaps because of a filial piety suit, Zheng Shuming looks particularly moving today, so after seeing Liu Ruoshui by her side, one after another dissatisfied eyes shot at Liu Ruoshui's body like an arrow.

Well?

Liu Ruoshui naturally didn't care about the gaze of ordinary people, but after feeling a glimmer of light, he couldn't help but look over.

A young man, a young man with good martial arts, his age is only twenty-five or sixteen, but it can be seen from his spirit that his strength can at least be comparable to Ba Fenghan, Fu Junzhuo and others.

It's just that for some reason, there is a faint hostility in his eyes, and there seems to be an urge to jump.

At this time, a soft voice came from Liu Ruoshui's ear.

"Brother Liu, he is the martial arts hall of the Fengyun Martial Arts Pavilion, Fengyun. He and his late husband had fought each other, and they were evenly matched. Zheng Shuming said softly.

I see.

His peers are like enemies, and it is understandable that he is hostile to himself.

Liu Ruoshui only glanced at him a few more times, and then focused on Qian Duguan.

Because Liu Ruoshui knows that if he doesn't dominate, Qian Duguan will be the protagonist tonight.

After a while, after all the guests arrived, Qian Duguan stood up, and happily raised his glass and said: "It is rare for all the distinguished guests to come, so that Qian is very favored, I would like to borrow a glass of water and wine, and thank you for your heart." \"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and the atmosphere became warm, and the sound of compliments and wine fights was endless.

It took a while for everyone to sit back in their seats.

After the toast, Qian Duguan's face showed a trace of sadness, and he said, "Everyone, I must also know about King Garuda, and I don't have to hide it. King Garuda's soldiers and horses were only two or three days away from Xiangyang City, and he didn't know how to deal with it. ”

As soon as Qian Duguan's voice fell, a cold voice resounded throughout the audience, "What else, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." ”

When Liu Ruoshui looked up, he found that it was none other than the Fengyun Pavilion Master who spoke.

Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but smile dumbly, this Fengyun Pavilion Master is not only young, but also so young in thought.

Qian Duguan smiled bitterly, "How can it be so simple, Xiangyang City has neither good generals nor soldiers, and there are 100,000 elite soldiers under the command of King Garuda, how can it be defended?"

Then, Qian Duguan twisted his head to the side and said to the Xiangyang Taishou, "Taishou, you are the parent official of a city, tell me, what should I do." ”

Xiangyang was too guarded for a moment, and then said, "Everything is in charge of the Qian Gang Master." ”

Seeing the somewhat unwilling eyes of Xiangyang Taishou, Liu Ruoshui knew that this Xiangyang Taishou may not have paid attention, but did not dare to have an idea.

Liu Ruoshui had long known that Xiangyang Taishou was not a proud man, but a poor man who was promoted by Yang Guang by means of the imperial examination, and there was no background behind him, so after he parachuted into Xiangyang City, he was immediately elevated. It's good that he doesn't have any opinions, and if he really has any opinions, I'm afraid he will be "sick to death".

However, as soon as he said this, what little prestige he had left would inevitably be swept away.

After hearing Xiangyang Taishou's words, Qian Duguan showed a flash of a smile on his face, and then said, "In my opinion, Zhu Yu is powerful, and it is really difficult to fight, so it is better to surrender." ”

After hearing Qian Duguan's words, the banquet seemed to turn into a bazaar, and there was a chaotic quarrel.

Liu Ruoshui heard it, and Zheng Shuming on the side scolded in a low voice, "This old fox." ”

Obviously, she had already guessed Qian Duguan's thoughts.

Hearing this, Liu Ruoshui replied in a low voice, "Although it is an old fox, it is also a dead fox."

After that, Liu Ruoshui slammed the wine glass on the table and made a loud noise.

When he landed, the originally noisy hall became silent.

Seeing this, Qian Duguan smirked, "Pavilion Master Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Ruoshui said coldly, "I have only one opinion. ”

With that, Liu Ruoshui picked up a broken porcelain piece from the table, and then dropped it casually.

said that it was too late, it was fast, but I saw a bright light flash suddenly and stuck on Qian Duguan's neck.

When Qian Duguan looked down, he found that a three-inch-long broken bowl slice was inserted in his throat.

Xiao Li flies the knife, and there is no false hair.

Although Liu Ruoshui didn't have a knife in his hand, he just broke the wine glass in his hand and broke off a piece of it from it, but Mo said that it was a piece of broken porcelain, even if it was a flower and a leaf, it was enough to become the most terrifying secret weapon in his hands.

Although Qian Duguan's strength is good, in the face of Liu Ruoshui's Xiao Li Flying Knife, he can't dodge it.

Although Liu Ruoshui also knew that Qian Duguan did not really want to surrender, after all, in Xiangyang, he was already the uncrowned king, even if he was under the command of King Garuda, he would not have a better position.

However, what matters is not what you think, what matters is what you say and do.

His words and deeds gave Liu Ruoshui an excuse, a perfect excuse.

Liu Ruoshui said coldly, "Qian Duguan surrendered in vain, he has been killed by me, and he deserves death, do you have any opinions?"

After hearing Liu Ruoshui's words, Qian Duzhong suddenly felt unwilling, and he felt that he seemed to have died a little unjustly.

Because from the beginning, he never thought of surrendering Zhu Ji, the reason why he said that was just to promote and suppress first, just to use Zhu Ji's reputation to scare these Xiangyang family lords, and then take them for his own use.

In fact, he even prepared a few trusts, so that he could always forget where he went and "justifiably" take charge of Xiangyang.

But whatever he wanted to say, he couldn't say it anymore because his throat was pierced.

Liu Ruoshui walked up to Qian Duguan's side, twisted his hand hard, twisted Qian Duguan's head off, and then shouted sharply, "You all know that Zhu Yu is an ogre king, if he is allowed to occupy Xiangyang City, then the people of the city will probably die." Qian Duguan is dead, who else is against it?"

As soon as Liu Ruoshui's words fell, two spears were stabbed out behind him, as if they wanted to stab him through the heart.
