More than 90% of the guests for the Longmen Banquet have arrived. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd and amid Zhou Liuyun's loud laughter, more than a hundred men dressed in luxurious clothes. The style of their robes was quite different from those of the people in the three states, making them look more graceful and dignified. Their every move and bearing showed extraordinary bearing, and they walked in quickly.

"Master Zhou!" Hundreds of managers from the thirty-two powerful families of Dajin, just like Zhou Liuyun's disciples, bowed deeply to Zhou Liuyun with great respect and called him Master Zhou.

"No need to be so polite, thank you for your hard work along the way!" Zhou Liuyun looked at the managers from various families who arrived on time excitedly. He felt a warm current rushing through his body, and it seemed as if he had infinite strength out of thin air.

His eyes swept through the stewards of each family one by one. When Zhou Liuyun saw the stewards of the six surnames, such as Li Zheng, his face twitched slightly, and his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. However, the stewards of the six surnames, such as Li Zheng, looked at Zhou Liuyun with a firm look, and silently bowed deeply to him again.

Zhou Liuyun immediately felt relieved.

Li Qian and Zhao Kuo had problems, but it did not affect the cooperation between the six surnames and him. It would not be long before new disciples of the six surnames came from the capital of the Jin Dynasty and joined Zhou Liuyun's school.

It makes sense. Although Li Qian and the others were elite talents cultivated by their respective families with great efforts, compared with the plan that Zhou Liuyun was in charge of, the casualties of only six family members were nothing compared to the rewards everyone would get after the success. Not to mention six children, even if the casualties were ten times heavier, it would be worth it!

Zhou Liuyun was calm, he straightened his chest solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you all for your kindness and for coming from afar to attend today's Longmen Banquet. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality or incomplete etiquette, please forgive me."

After some polite words, the distinguished guests took their seats one after another under the guidance of the welcoming disciples.

Chu Tian was kneeling upright behind the table, examining the teacup that was handed to him by the maid from the academy. At the same time, someone sat down on the two seats beside him.

"Boss Chu? I'm Li Zheng, the manager of Qinzhou Li family!" The middle-aged man sitting on Chu Tian's right hand side pulled the corner of his mouth at him with a forced smile.

"Zhao Xing from the Zhao family of Shuzhou." The man with a goatee sitting on Chu Tian's left hand side stared at Chu Tian with cold eyes.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Chu Tian raised his teacup to the two of them with a smile on his face, as if he had heard the names of the Qinzhou Li family and the Shuzhou Zhao family for the first time in his life.

Li Zheng and Zhao Xing sneered, picked up the teacup brought by the maid, and drank the tea in big gulps without taking their eyes off Chu Tian's face. They rushed all the way from the dock to the city of Jizhou, and then to the Jishan Academy, and they were indeed thirsty along the way.

Chu Tian held the teacup and smiled as he brought it to his lips. His pupils suddenly condensed, and he spun the teacup with his fingers. He glanced at the green tea in the light of the sky, smiled, and took a sip slowly.

The tea tastes sweet and smooth, it is indeed a good tea.

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and used the tip of his tongue to carefully sip the tea in his mouth. The tea was still sweet and fragrant. He smiled and bit a small piece of flesh with the tip of his teeth. A trickle of blood flowed out and mixed into the tea.

The originally sweet tea suddenly had a strange fragrance.

It is very light, yet very timeless, very light, yet very long-lasting, like aged wine, slowly seeping into every taste bud, along the smallest blood vessels on the tongue, slowly expanding its range of invasion.

Chu Tian said "Ugh!" and spat out the tea into the teacup. He put the teacup down heavily and sneered contemptuously: "The Jishan Academy has such a great reputation, but it turns out to be so stingy! They have the nerve to serve such bland tea to guests! It's not even as strong as the big bowl of tea on Er Mazi's stall in Jizhou City. What a crap!"

Li Zheng and Zhao Xing, who were staring at Chu Tian, ​​twitched their faces and were speechless because of Chu Tian's words.

The big bowls of tea sold on the streets of Qizhou City, where a pound of coarse leaf tea can be bought for dozens of copper coins, can be compared with this kind of high-quality fragrant tea that costs hundreds of taels of silver per ounce?

A lowly servant who really doesn't know what's good for him.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth, put down the teacup heavily, and said sinisterly: "Chu Dangtou? Our young master went to kill you, why didn't you die?"

Zhao Xing said coldly, "We are all sensible people. Let's open the door and talk. Where is our Master Zhao Kuo? If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. Today, you've entered the Jishan Academy. It won't be so easy to get out!"

Chu Tian smiled and shook his head at Li Zheng: "What are you two talking about? Why don't I understand? Your son is missing, maybe he got lost, or was taken away by a tiger, or ran away to a brothel and didn't want to come back. All of these are possible. Why are you looking for me?"

Li Zheng and Zhao Xing were silent for a while, and Li Zheng said calmly: "Today is Master Zhou's big day, so let's not bother with you for now. But the idiot under your command named Agou is in my hands now."

Chu Tian's face froze, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and he turned his head slightly to look at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng saw the change in Chu Tian's expression, and he immediately laughed: "That guy is a real man. In order to cover his men's escape, he blocked ten of my hundred-man teams by himself. All your men escaped, and only this guy was captured alive."

Chu Tian's hand shook, the teacup fell over, and the tea spilled all over the table.

The maid from the academy hurried over, wiped the tea with a rag, and changed another cup of tea for Chu Tian.

Chu Tian did not touch the teacup. He sat upright with his hands on his knees and said calmly, "If anything happens to Ah Gou, you, the Li family, can wait for my revenge!"

Li Zheng looked at Chu Tian with interest. He said slowly, "Oh? Chu Dangtou is so arrogant. Okay, I'll have someone break his limbs and cut some meat off his body to feed the dogs. We, the Li family, are waiting for Chu Dangtou's revenge!"

Zhao Xing, who was standing by, laughed so hard that his whole face twitched. "Boss Chu, how are you going to take revenge on the Li family? Are you not going to sell the golden carp from the Baimang River to the Li family? Hee, Li Zheng, you, the Li family, won't be able to eat the golden carp from the Baimang River anymore!"

Chu Tian said nothing, but just lowered his head deeply, staring thoughtfully at the teacup in front of him and the green tea in it.

When Li Zheng and Zhao Xing saw Chu Tian like this, they smiled more brightly, but the cold murderous intent in their eyes became more and more intense.

Now that our son is missing, we have to find a scapegoat.

Judging from Chu Tian’s attitude, even if he didn’t do it, it would be a good idea to use him to take the blame.

By the way, he could also help Zhou Liuyun avenge his father's death and make the "relationship" between his family and Zhou Liuyun even deeper, which was killing two birds with one stone.
