Chapter 79 Hongmen Banquet(1/2)
"Du, duo."
When it was late at night, a slight knock came from outside Li Xiao’s door.
At this time, Li Xiao had not set up a personal guard, so when his subordinates came to him, they could knock on the door and enter.
"who?"
"It's me, Lord Li, Feng Shi, deputy commander of the navy." A low and anxious answer came from outside the door.
Li Xiao put on his clothes and opened the door. Feng Shi hurriedly entered the house and then hurriedly inserted the door bolt.
"Feng Shi, why did you come so late?" Li Xiao's expression could not be seen clearly under the dim light.
Feng Shi suddenly had his eyes wet. He knelt on the ground and told Li Xiao intermittently that Jiang Zun and others would set up a Hongmen banquet tomorrow and serve the opportunity to kill Li Xiao.
After Feng Shi finished speaking, he suddenly whipped his face from side to side, and scolded him for being greedy for money and gambling. Then he fell into the vicious plan of Cui Yu, the shopkeeper of Yuhua Restaurant, and he embarked on the road of rebellion.
"Li Qianhu, after thinking about it, he really can't get through one of his conscience. He is favored by others and backfired by the benefactor. Isn't it like a pig or a dog? I'm here to apologize for the crime, and I want to kill and kill, please deal with it by Lord Li!"
Feng Shi lowered his head and said, and then bowed to the ground.
Strangely, the scene in which Feng Shi imagined that the angry Li Xiao would curse and beat him like a storm, but only Li Xiao could hear a faint voice in his ear: "Feng Shi, you can be lost and you will be back. This official can avoid the crime of getting on the pirate ship, so you can get up and talk."
Feng Shi responded and then stood up. He was surprised to find that there was suddenly a person next to Li Xiao.
This person is Huang Bao, the captain of the first team of gunmen. I don’t know when this person appeared in Li Xiao’s room like a ghost.
Huang Bao looked at Feng Shi who was stunned and showed an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Huang Bao, why are you in Lord Li?"
Huang Bao did not answer, and Li Xiao said from the side: "Feng Shi, now, I am not afraid to tell you that Huang Bao is the captain of the spearmen team, and secretly the director of the Security Department of our army. The matter you are secretly talking about at night today, Director Huang has sent people to hear it, and has reported it to me."
"Captain Feng Jia, please tell you in detail. Huang was originally a Jinyiwei for Guangning City. Later, Guangning City was broken, and the local Jinyiwei institution in Guangning was also destroyed. In the lower fortune, he was captured by the Tartars and became a local Tartar general. At the end of last year, Fang found an opportunity to flee south and mingled among the refugees. He wanted to escape to the world, but he was fortunate to be regarded by Captain Tian. Fang joined Li Xiaojun and was appointed as the captain of the spearmen by Lord Li. Later, when Huang's old identity was learned by Lord Li, Fang was secretly appointed as the director of the Security Department."
Huang Bao smiled and explained to the confused Feng Shi.
Feng Shi was shocked, and cold sweat oozed out from his back. It turned out that Jiang Zun and the others thought that the secret plot had already been under the control of Li Xiao's secret. Lord Li's kung fu was so cruel!
He couldn't help but feel very grateful. Fortunately, he had no conscience and came to report this to Li Qianhu. Otherwise, he would have gone all the way and would have no way to survive.
"Feng Shi, you can do what you know today and you can't tell anyone. Go back and tomorrow, as Jiang Zun said, go to the Yuhua Restaurant. Jiang Zun holds this Hongmen Banquet, and I will go to the settlement." Li Xiao said coldly, with a cold light in his eyes.
Feng Shi shivered without realizing it and hurriedly retreated.
Time flies, and before I realize it, it is noon the next day.
On this day, the sky was covered with thick clouds. Although the fields outside the fort had turned green and green, the cold wind was howling in the early spring weather, making the world still full of bleakness.
Jiang Zun, Hou Dao, Dai Qingshao and others, stood in front of Yuhua Restaurant with a smile on his face to welcome Li Xiao's arrival.
Jiang Zun wore a brand new silk dress and was smiling at everyone, haha, looking extremely happy.
Soon, Li Xiao, who was smiling, arrived with Tian Wei and Wang Yishou, and then, under the guidance of Jiang Zun and others, he entered the private room that had been wrapped.
"Chief Jiang Shou, your baby is over one year old, this is my little intention." After everyone sat down, Li Xiao smiled and took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Jiang Zun.
Jiang Zun took it with a flattering look and said repeatedly: "The child is only one year old. Lord Li is so polite and gives such a heavy gift. How can I bear it?"
"How can I bear it? Commander Jiang Shou is also an old man in our army. As long as Commander Jiang Shou serves loyally for our army, what is the point of receiving this gift? If you follow me well, you will have a greater future in the future."
Li Xiao's tone was calm, but Jiang Zun's face shivered suddenly.
What's going on?
When Li Xiao said this, it seemed like a needle hidden in a cotton pad, with a faint intention of targeting me, Jiang.
Jiang Zun subconsciously glanced at Tian Wei and Wang Yishou who were sitting next to Li Xiao, both on the left and right. However, the two of them didn't look at him, but just sat with a calm face.
"Mr. Li, I am promoted by Master Xia Nai. I am inexplicably grateful. I must follow you closely. How dare I think of him?" Jiang Zun said with a smile on his face.
"That's good, I hope Chief Jiang Shou can do what he says." Li Xiao smiled faintly.
"Waiter, serve the food quickly." Jiang Zun did not dare to look at Li Xiao, and hurriedly shouted at the guy beside him.
The waiter sang a promise, and soon, a sumptuous banquet was placed on the table.
"Sir, this is the best white cloud roast in Laizhou City. It is sweet and mellow in the mouth and has a long aftertaste. Please try it." Jiang Zun respectfully poured a glass of crystal clear soju into Li Xiao's cup.
Li Xiao played with the wine glass and looked at Jiang Zun with a smile on his face, but he didn't drink it.
Hou Dao and others next to them tried to keep calm on their faces, but Jiang Zun saw that they seemed to have muscles trembling slightly on their faces.
Tian Wei and Wang Yishou were still as calm as before, not talking or moving.
During the whole meal, I suddenly fell into a suffocating silence.
"Mr. Li, this wine is still warm, and it will be unpleasant when it is cold." Jiang Zun felt guilty when Li Xiao saw it. He quickly got up, raised his glass with his hand and persuaded Li Xiao to drink with a trembling voice.
Li Xiao smiled, waved his hand, signaling him to sit down first, then he looked around and said calmly: "Everyone, before drinking, Li suddenly remembered a story."
"Oh, my master's story must be exciting, but I have to listen carefully." Jiang Zun was anxious, but he had to look very interested on his face.
Li Xiao had a strange smile on his face and began to tell slowly.
"During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Zhou Chu who was arrogant and powerful, and was a great disaster in the local area. At that time, there was a dragon in the river and a white-breasted tiger on the mountain. These three harmed the people together. The local people called them three disasters, and among these three harms, Zhou Chu was the most harmful."
Jiang Zun blinked, not knowing what Li Xiao meant to tell this story, but he could only pretend to be focused and listened.
"Later, Zhou Chu heard the advice of others and killed the tiger first, and then went to kill the dragon. After three days and three nights of follow-up and fight, Zhou Chu finally killed the dragon. The local people, seeing that he had not returned for three days, thought Zhou Chu was dead, and they were all very happy and expressed their congratulations."
The smile on Jiang Zun's face began to solidify. He seemed to hear a little smell, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a moment.
"As a result, Zhou Chu killed the dragon and came out of the water. Later, he heard that the villagers thought they were dead and celebrated each other's affairs, and then he realized that everyone actually regarded themselves as a disaster, so he became repentant."
When Jiang Zun heard this, his heart suddenly shrank. He glanced at Hou Dao and others and found that everyone's faces were either white or red, but they were still trying to keep calm.
"So Zhou Chu went to Wujun to find Lu Yun, a famous person at that time. After seeing Lu Yun, he told Lu Yun all the situation and said, "I want to correct my mistakes, but it's too late. Is it too late to correct it now?" Lu Yun said, "Why would it be too late for a gentleman to cherish morality and refuse to repent? The ancients said that it is enough to die in the morning and die in the evening. Besides, you are still young and have the courage. As long as you can make a determination to correct and to rectify the previous evil, why worry about not being able to establish achievements or spread a good reputation?" After hearing the teachings, Zhou Chu reformed from then on and finally became a loyal minister and general."
Jiang Zun lowered his head and clenched his teeth. He finally understood the story Li Xiao told.
The people next to them also had strange expressions on their faces and looked shy.
what to do?
Jiang Zun asked himself nervously.
The table was quiet, and Jiang Zun repeatedly weighed the pros and cons.
Lord Li, I know you are using this story and I will persuade me at the end. It’s just that the road is too late, and I, Jiang Zun, can no longer turn back.
Jiang Zun suddenly looked up, his eyes full of determination. He and Li Xiao looked directly at each other, and the shining eyes of the two were like Yin and Yang.
"Mr. Li's story is wonderful. Come and drink this cup." Jiang Zun stood up and raised his glass to Li Xiao and invited him.
Li Xiao slowly picked up the wine glass, but did not look at him. He murmured: "Captain Jiang Shou, you must know, the prodigal son will not change the gold."
"Mr. Li, I understand. I'll ask you to drink this cup." Jiang Zun's face was cold, he raised his neck and drank all the wine in his glass, then exposed the bottom of the cup to Li Xiao, and took the initiative to do it first.
A strange smile appeared on Li Xiao's face again.
He slowly leaned over to Jiang Zun, stared at Jiang Zun's eyes, and said softly: "I am not feeling well today, so how about asking Chief Jiang Shun to drink this cup for me?"
Jiang Zun's face changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "How dare you be so arrogant, please..."
Before Jiang Zun finished speaking, Li Xiao shook his right hand and sprinkled the wine glass in his hand. The whole glass of wine was sprinkled on Jiang Zun's left face.
"ah!"
Jiang Zun screamed, and everyone was shocked to see that Jiang Zun, who could not dodge, had his left eye splashed by Li Xiao, and the white bubbles were rolling, instantly blinding Jiang Zun's left eye.
"Bang!"
Jiang Zun endured the huge pain and threw the wine glass to the ground.
"You haven't done anything yet, when will you last?" Jiang Zun roared and pulled out his knife from his waist, and made a move and slashed at Li Xiao.
Hou Dao, Dai Qingshao and others trembled all over, subconsciously drew out swords and slashed at Li Xiao and others.
Li Xiao shouted coldly, and the wine glass in his right hand threw it towards Jiang Zun. Jiang Zun moved his sword across his hand and knocked it flying. He was about to chop it again. Li Xiao had a cold Japanese sword in his hand. He shouted loudly and slashed at Jiang Zun.
At this time, Tian Wei and King Yishou drew their swords in their hands and fought with Hou Dao, Dai Qingshao, Chen Xing and others.
Hou Dao glanced at his subordinate, Feng Shi, the deputy commander of the navy, was still sitting on the chair, as if he was not moving as a puppet.
"Feng Shi, why are you still standing there? Kill Li Xiao and others quickly!" Hou Dao roared at him.
Feng Shiyou suddenly woke up. He pulled out his waist knife and shouted and rushed forward.
Hou Dao, who was focused on fighting with Wang Yishou, felt a huge pain coming from behind. When he looked at the tip of a blood-dropped feather knife in front of his chest, he had already emerged from his chest.
Hou Dao turned his head and looked at Feng Shi with an incredible look. Feng Shi's face looked ferocious, and the feather knife in his hand took advantage of the situation and stirred it up again.
A mouthful of blood was spurted out of Hou Dao's mouth. Feng Shi twitched the knife, and Hou Dao fell silently. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
The Japanese sword in Li Xiao's hand danced so hard that it was full of swords, and it was so powerful that Jiang Zun could not resist it and retreated step by step.
"Puchi!"
Li Xiao stabbed him with his backhand, and the sharp tip of the Japanese knife instantly pierced Jiang Zun's chest.
Blood squirted out wildly, and Jiang Zun staggered, leaning against the wall, slowly sliding down.
Jiang Zun was sucking blood bubbles in his mouth. His eyes did not look at Li Xiao, who was angry with eyebrows in front of him, but stared at the door that entered the private room.
