When the sun had shown most of its face from the eastern hilltop, Chu Tian, ​​wearing a medium-length coat and a pair of leather-soled boots, rode on the old yellow wolf and slowly came to the south gate of Qizhou City.

Novel

The city gate had just opened and many carriages and pedestrians were leaving the city. Many farmers from nearby villages and towns were also preparing to enter the city. Some people who knew Chu Tian suddenly saw him and held their breath.

"Gentlemen, hey, what's up? You all thought I, Chu Tian, ​​was dead?"

Chu Tian simply crossed his legs on the old yellow wolf's back, put on the most typical face of a street rogue, rolled up his sleeves with a smile, pulled out a horn knife, held it in his hand, and gently cut his left arm.

A layer of oily skin was cut by the sharp knife, and a very thin trace of blood oozed out.

"Watch out, gentlemen of Jizhou! I, Chu Tian, ​​suffered a great loss the night before yesterday. My gold was borrowed away, and many of my brothers were injured! Well, there was blood, a lot of it!" Chu Tian nonchalantly blocked the south gate of Jizhou City and shouted loudly: "But, I, Chu Tian, ​​am still alive. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be firewood everywhere. We are not afraid of running out of firewood!"

"Things may change, but things may change! We are unlucky this time, but we will get lucky someday!" Chu Tian sneered and shouted, "Don't let us find out who is plotting against us. We are not done with this! Fifteen thousand taels of gold, damn it!"

In just a few words, Chu Tian portrayed the face of a scoundrel and ruthless man vividly. He made a lot of "big talk" about "revenge", then patted the old yellow wolf on the head and walked into the city of Qizhou under the strange and complicated gazes of countless people.

Suddenly, several idle people in the market gave him a thumbs up and shouted loudly: "Chu Dangtou is a good man!"

In the hearts of these lowest-class men in the market, Chu Tian is a hero who dares to take responsibility and act; but in the eyes of those who have a little more status, position, and connections, Chu Tian is a fool who doesn't know how to live or die!

So many soldiers from the state died, so many people from the Ling family died, and what’s even more terrible is that a priest from the Chu family also died!

If this account is really to be settled, it will all be put on Chu Tian's head. He is the culprit! He didn't run away as soon as possible, the farther the better, he actually entered the city of Qizhou early in the morning and made a lot of nonsense at the city gate!

Didn't he know that the night before yesterday, the people who really wanted to rob him of his gold and take his life included not only the dozen or so wealthy families who were greedy for money, but also the Ling family and the prefect Sima?

But in the eyes of those people at a higher level, standing at the highest point in Yizhou, Chu Tian is a dead man no matter what!

The direct descendants of six large families, including Li Qian and Zhao Kuo, disappeared inexplicably, and their guards died outside the Chu family's mine. This incident has completely dragged the Chu family into trouble. With the usual temper of Chu Jie, the young master of the Chu family, Chu Tian is estimated to be able to live for only one or two days, right?

For the Chu family, which dominates Qizhou, is it a big deal to kill a few street ruffians who are a little suspicious?

Riding on the Old Yellow Wolf, Chu Tian spoke the underworld words skillfully all the way, greeting the street heroes who were acting mysteriously on the roadside, declaring that he was still alive and living a free and easy life, and walked slowly towards Qingliu Cottage.

"Hey, Master Shu, what should we say when we see Hong Gu?" Chu Tian greeted the street hero and looked back at his shoulder.

There was nothing on his shoulders. Before he even reached the gate of Qizhou City, Master Shu had already disappeared without a trace. No one knew which wealthy family he had visited. Chu Tian laughed dryly and frowned.

Yesterday he took the risk of fighting with the Chu family's people. How much of what happened should he tell Lu Gu and Hong Gu?

Tell them everything?

Or should I tell them with reservations?

"It's really troublesome. I always feel that it's not that simple!" Chu Tian frowned and sighed with a sad face. What happened eighteen years ago, and the Chu family's private army around Chu Jie now.

This matter is not that simple. How about involving Lu Gu and Hong Gu?

“Well, they have been really good to us brothers over the years! Tsk, although we have different paths, we can’t repay kindness with enmity, right?” Chu Tian looked at the gate of Qingliu Cottage in front of him and sighed, “They are also two pitiful women! Tsk, tsk tsk!”

"Boss Chu, Brother Chu, what a coincidence, I meet you here!" A clear laughter was heard, and a purple figure flashed, and Zi Xiao, who was laughing very '**-**', suddenly stood in front of Chu Tian.

The old yellow wolf was frightened by the sudden appearance of Zi Xiaosheng. It opened its mouth and was about to bite Zi Xiaosheng's calf.

Zi Xiaosheng laughed strangely, and punched down with his left hand full of rings, and the big ring on his thumb hit the old yellow wolf's nose. The old yellow wolf fell to the ground with a howl, his nose was swollen and painful, and tears came out.

"Old Huang, I know you, don't bite me!" Chu Tian patted the old yellow wolf with fierce eyes, and clasped his fists to Zi Xiaosheng helplessly: "Ha, sir, do you know me?"

"Ha, ha, ha, Brother Chu is so humorous! This is not the first time we meet, how could I not recognize you?" Zi Xiaosheng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line. He flipped his hand, took out a golden document from his sleeve, and threw it into Chu Tian's arms.

"Well, Mr. Chu, I won't waste my words!" Zi Xiaosheng said proudly, "After my painstaking persuasion last night, using both emotion and reason, I finally got Mr. Zhou Liuyun to agree to hold a Dragon Gate Banquet at the Jishan Academy at noon today. It is also to celebrate the first batch of disciples he has accepted at the Jishan Academy!"

"Hee, the news had already spread last night, and even the invitation was prepared overnight. I am not talented, but I think I have some ability to host and dispatch, so I specially asked to be the chief steward of this Longmen Banquet, responsible for all matters big and small!" Zi Xiaosheng smiled happily at Chu Tian and said, "Chu Dangtou is young and promising, and he is a model of a unicorn hidden in the wilderness, so of course you have a copy of this invitation!"

Chu Tian looked blankly at the invitation card made of pure gold in his hand. The invitation card, which was one foot long and six inches wide, weighed more than one kilogram. This was pure gold!

Although the invitation was made overnight, the pattern on the invitation was exquisite and the workmanship was excellent. The three characters "Longmen Banquet" were written in a dragon-like and phoenix-like style, which gave it a unique aura. Obviously, Zi Xiaosheng was not bragging. He was indeed very capable. He was able to make such an exquisite and luxurious invitation in just one night. This skill was not small!

But you are holding the Longmen Banquet at the Jishan Academy, which is about a group of sour scholars. Are you going to send an invitation to the Chu world?

Chu Tian was a little angry, he stared at Zi Xiaosheng and sneered: "Brother Zi, you are just watching the fun but not afraid of trouble, right?"

Zi Xiaosheng smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line: "Sure enough, Chu Dangtou and I are acquaintances. Doesn't that mean he remembered my name? Hee, is Chu Dangtou a coward?"

"Cut the Gordian knot!" Zi Xiaosheng smiled and waved to Chu Tian: "Look forward to Chu Dangtou's performance! Remember, remember, it's noon today, take the invitation to the Longmen Banquet at the Jishan Academy! If Chu Dangtou doesn't go, hehe!"

A purple shadow flashed and Zi Xiaosheng disappeared without a trace.
