Ma Wu accepted the invitation but did not agree to attend the banquet.
Yang Yanzheng glanced at the stairs and smiled slightly, "Fifth Master, I heard that you have a friend here, a very capable person, can you introduce him to me?"
Ma Wu shook his head and said, "My friend is not here today, please come back another day."
Yang Yanzheng nodded and smiled, "It seems that your friend is really capable. Fifth Master, I will wait for you to go to the young lady's birthday."
After leaving Lanyang Village, Yang Yanzheng traveled quickly all the way and walked back to Lvshui City in less than fifteen minutes. This is the strength of a fourth-level travel cultivator.
When they arrived at the residence of Miss Chu Huaiyuan, the second daughter of the Chu family, Yang Yanzheng recounted the entire incident.
Miss Chu stabbed a silver needle into her fingertip, then slowly pulled it out, sucked the blood from her fingertip, and stabbed another finger:
"He didn't agree right away, but said he'd consider it?"
Yang Yanzheng nodded and said, "That's what he said."
Chu Er sneered, "Do you think that killing those hooligans will make this matter go away? He is a smart man, do I need to teach him this?
If he doesn't come on my birthday, you tell Song Jiasen that Ma Wu is hunting in the new land of Lanyang Village and is not delivering the goods at his house. I have evidence here."
Yang Yanzheng leaned forward slightly and said respectfully, "Song Jiasen is a man who loves money like his life. If we tell him about this, the Fifth Young Master will not be able to escape."
Chu Huaiyuan sneered: "Song Jiasen, that old dog, would never dare to kill Ma Wu, but he would take away half of Ma Wu's life.
I gave Ma Wu face, but he refused. He deserved to lose half his life.
This person should experience more bitterness before he can know what sweetness is. "
…
Li Banfeng sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.
He became more and more excited the more he rubbed, and he was unwilling to stop until his eyes turned red.
His body regained its perception, his eyes could feel, his hands could feel.
snort~
The record slowly turned on the tray, and the record player sang softly: "Husband, why did you take so many pills yesterday?"
This question needs to be answered carefully.
Li Banfeng said seriously, "The pill is a tonic. I think it won't do any harm to eat it."
snort~
Da da da da~Hey!
The gongs and drums sounded for a while, and the record player continued to ask, "My husband, why do you need tonic?"
"Because I've been overworked lately."
"Husband, what are you so worried about?" the record player continued to ask.
“It’s all about supporting the family.”
"My husband, with your current financial resources, is it still difficult to make a living?"
hiss~
The copper lotus that was refining elixir in the outer room was covered with dewdrops.
She was worried about Li Banfeng.
Don’t tell anyone about Lu Xiu’s affairs!
Otherwise, Li Banfeng will die on the spot, and no one will be able to get out from now on!
Li Banfeng replied calmly: "My lady, do you think that I picked up Lu Dongliang, the ninth-level cultivator, by luck?"
Da da da da~Hey!
The lyrics of the record player became gentler: "How can such precious food be picked up casually? It must have been earned by my husband with great effort. I am the little slave who said too much. Please don't be offended, my husband.
It is just that my husband rashly ate so many Golden Yuan Pills, which really puzzles me."
Li Banfeng said calmly: "I encountered a strong enemy last night. I couldn't beat him, nor could I get rid of him.
In a hurry, I ate thirty-eight Jinyuan Pills, just to improve my cultivation level so that I could fight him again.
As a result, I took the pill and got poisoned. I was no longer able to fight as well as before, and I couldn't move. Fortunately, I had the skill of being eager to go home, so I ran back home."
While he was saying this, the steam was lingering around Li Banfeng, and he did not notice anything unusual.
She was testing whether Li Banfeng was lying.
In fact, what Li Banfeng said was true.
This powerful enemy is the backlash of cultivation.
The record player gently stroked Li Banfeng's cheek: "My dear, I have said many times that elixirs are useless to the cultivation of the house cultivators. Why don't you believe me?"
Li Banfeng snorted coldly and said, "Other sects all take elixirs, why can't I? I always feel like you are lying to me."
Steam swirled around Li Banfeng's body, circling gently: "My foolish lover, there is no one in the world who treats you as sincerely as I do. Although this Jinyuan Pill is of no benefit to your cultivation, it can at least strengthen your body.
The pills made by Honglian are much purer than ordinary pills, and the toxicity of the pills is not too great, so you can just take them.
My husband, please don’t take any pills made in other places. Some of the pills are poisonous and not so easy to resolve. You must listen to my words. I am doing this for your own good. I am devoted to you…”
There was murderous intent hidden in the soft voice, and the record player was trying to find out whether Li Banfeng was telling the truth.
But the steam swirled to below the waist and suddenly stopped.
"My dear, are you feeling happy again?"
Li Banfeng sighed softly: "To caress me like this, my lady... I have no choice but to do so."
"Were these pants just washed the day before yesterday?"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I've worn it for two days, it's time to change it."
"You said it was easy! But you didn't wash it!" The record player was furious, and steam filled the room. "You keep telling me to consummate the marriage, but you are so capable. If I really consummate it with you, what can you accomplish?"
Li Banfeng quickly changed his clothes and left Suishenju.
"At the end of the world, at the corner of the sea, I am looking for a soulmate~"
The record player was playing a little tune while washing clothes for Li Banfeng first.
The dew on the copper lotus in the outer room gradually dissipated.
Tang Dao snorted coldly and muttered to himself in a low voice: "It turns out that there are some things that the mistress doesn't know."
He often followed Li Banfeng in battles outside, and he suspected that Li Banfeng might have also practiced brigade cultivation.
hiss~
The petals of the copper lotus slowly bloomed, and a whirlwind rose from the heart of the lotus.
Tang Dao shuddered, retreated into a corner and said, "I don't know either. I know nothing."
…
After returning to the wooden house, Li Banfeng looked at the sky and realized that he had slept all night in Suishenju.
When I went downstairs, I saw Ma Wumo sitting in the living room with a worried look on his face.
Li Banfeng looked at the newspaper on the table and said in surprise, "It turns out that something happened to the Lu family!"
Not only did something happen, Lu Dongliang was dead, but no one knew about it except Li Banfeng.
Ma Wu spread out the newspapers one by one and said to Li Banfeng: "If something happens to the Lu family, it means that something big is going to happen to the entire Pro Province.
This is the news from the He family. Judging from He Haiqin's attitude, the He family is determined to fight the Lu family to the end. It is said that even his brother He Haisheng has returned from another state. "
He Haisheng?
Isn’t that He Jiaqing’s third uncle?
Since he was able to come back, it proves that He Jiaqing is fine.
Ma Wu brought another stack of newspapers and said, "This is the news about the Ma family. It's all about land reclamation and purchase. The Ma family now wants to withdraw all the business and money and try not to have anything to do with the Lu family.
This is the news from the Chu family. Unlike the Ma family, the Chu family is now trying to expand their business. The second Miss Chu has extended her hand to the Paramount. She is trying to fish in troubled waters. "
After reading the newspaper, Li Banfeng nodded and said, "The situation is very chaotic, but it seems to have nothing to do with us."
"It matters. It matters a lot!" Ma Wu took out the invitation. "Miss Chu's second birthday is the day after tomorrow. She wants me to go to her house for a banquet. Do you think I should go or not?"
Li Banfeng was stunned and said, "She is still pestering you? She really has feelings for you!"
"What feelings can she have for me? She wants to use me to drag the Ma family into this, Brother Li, can't you see that?"
Li Banfeng really couldn't tell: "Weren't you kicked out of the Ma family?"
"But my last name is Ma after all!"
"Then you might as well grit your teeth and share the same surname as me, Li!" Li Banfeng's surname comes from the gatekeeper of the welfare home. He doesn't take his surname too seriously.
“My last name is not the key point.” Ma Wu didn’t know how to express his current situation. “I just don’t want to…”
Li Banfeng asked, "Don't you want to involve the Ma family?"
Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I'm not thinking about the Ma family. I'm not worthy of them. I'm thinking about myself.
Two powerful families are fighting, and I am a puppet in the middle. Brother Li, you know what the consequences are. If the two powerful families exert a little force, I will be crushed to pieces. "
Li Banfeng could imagine Ma Wu's situation at that time, so he simply put the invitation on the table on the candle flame and burned it: "Now that you have thought it through, don't go."
Ma Wu looked at the invitation and said, "The Chu family's steward Yang Yanzheng is here. He said that if I don't go, I will have to suffer the same pain as before again."
Li Banfeng was stunned: "Are you here to rob me again? Is this Second Miss Chu so difficult to deal with?"
Ma Wu sighed, "I've been thinking about this all night, but I still can't think of a way to deal with her."
"Then forget about it. Pack up and go hunting in the new land. We can even deal with Madam Moth, so why are we afraid that we can't deal with her?"
…
At the Chu family residence, the second Miss Chu was celebrating her birthday and the guests were waiting in the hall.
But Ma Wu didn't come.
Chu Huaiyuan sat in the bedroom, looking at the mirror, and put on some blush first.
Then she aimed at the blush and stabbed a dagger into her face.
The steward Yang Yanzheng reminded her, "Miss, you have to meet guests later."
"It's okay." Chu Huaiyuan pulled out the dagger, wiped the blood off his face, and used a layer of special scented powder to stop the bleeding and cover the wound.
She turned around and glanced at Yang Yanzheng: "Why are you still standing there? Go to Lanyang Village!"
…
Lu Dongjun sat in the mansion quietly all night.
He Yuxiu sent him an invitation, asking him to attend a banquet at Qianyue Restaurant tomorrow to confront face to face about who had harmed Lu Dongliang.
Lu Dongjun called a family meeting to discuss the matter, but no one responded until dawn.
Some of the rumors are true. Lu Dongjun's status in the family is not as good as Monkey Qiu!
The counselor Wan Jinxian reminded: "Master, if you are absolutely sure, it's okay for you to go to Qianyue Tower. If you are not sure, you must not go this time."
Lu Dongjun is not sure, so is it okay not to go?
How can I gain a foothold in the Lu family in the future?
He turned to look at Wan Jinxian and said with a smile, "Old Wan, I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Please keep an eye on the door for me and tell no one to enter my room. Don't even bring me food."
Wan Jinxian was shocked: "Master, are you going to..."
"Just do as I say." Lu Dongjun returned to the bedroom, took out a stone lion more than one foot tall from the closet, and placed it at the door.
He took out a denture from his mouth and put it into the lion's mouth, and the lion's two eyes lit up.
As long as the dentures are not taken out, the lion's eyes will remain bright, and no one except Lu Dongjun can easily enter or leave the room.
After making all the arrangements, Lu Dongjun took out a necklace.
…
At twelve o'clock noon, He Yuxiu booked Qianyue Restaurant and waited for Lu Dongjun to come to the banquet. Many prominent people from the two families also came.
He Yuxiu sat in the main seat, wearing a leather coat, and asked his men to play a song.
The subordinate took the record, put it on the record player, and played a song "The Moon is Full and the Flowers are Beautiful".
She wanted to calm down the anger in her heart, but after playing several songs, the anger did not subside.
If Lu Dongjun told the truth today, the situation could be eased. But if he dared to frame He Yuxiu again, He Yuxiu would take his life.
After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, He Yuxiu looked at the Lu family and said, "Is Lu Dongjun a man? If he didn't dare to come today, he must be guilty, and Lu Dongliang would have died in his hands!"
Before he finished speaking, a subordinate came up and said, "Aunt, Master Lu is here."
"It's a good time to come. Let him come up quickly, let him..." He Yuxiu was stunned. "Who did you say is here?"
"Uncle Lu, Lu Dongliang!"
ps: Will Tang Dao use this to threaten Ban Feng in the future? He seems to know a lot.
