The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 363 Banquet
Li Dao nodded slightly, and said: "Well, it's very good. It took more than a year to go from the fourth rank to the fifth rank, which is very good. Xiaobai, you are really good."

Bai Zhu was very dissatisfied with such a perfunctory attitude, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Brother Boss, I'm rank five!"

Li Dao said indifferently: "Yes, yes, you are a fifth grade, you are amazing."

Baizhu was very depressed, why couldn't the boss brother understand his own subtext?Some people looking for help looked at Jiang Wan, but saw that Jiang Wan just shook her head with a smile, and ate on her own.

Li Dao naturally understood what Baizhu meant. When he was in Juansha Town, he started with "introducing her to a job" and then parted ways.

Baizhu said more than once that after she was promoted to the fifth rank, she could break free... Li Dao could only pretend not to understand such hints.

"Well, it's not bad. I'll teach you some sword moves these days... Forget it, I still have other things to do. Wan'er, you can teach me how to use the 'two moves' and 'three moves'. Teach Xiaobai a combination, and the matter is settled like this.”

Jiang Wan nodded: "Okay, I'll teach Xiaobai after dinner."

Baizhu said: "Brother Boss, I want you to teach me personally."

Li Dao shook his head: "No need, Wan'er has already learned it. This is another gift I gave you. You don't have to be polite if you know everyone so well."

"Also, I really don't understand, why do you add odds and ends after 'boss'? What kind of boss, boss brother, boss master, boss benefactor, why don't you just say "boss" well, please... ..."

In this way, the dinner was over not long after, and at the moment when the sky was getting dark, Wan Qizhengtai came to invite Li Dao and others to attend the welcome dinner prepared by Shenzaomen.

Banquets are actually quite boring to say the least. Although the food is rich, there are countless delicious food and wine, and there are many beauties, it is not a place where you can have a full meal. Everyone cares more about socializing.

Therefore, most of the people who attended the banquet did not go there for the purpose of eating—except Xiao Chu, of course.

After Jiang Wan briefly explained to Baizhu the combination of two sword moves and the several sets of sword techniques that can be changed, she agreed to go to the bustling Nanwai City Kuang Night Market instead of going to that boring banquet.

So, Li Dao took Xiao Chu, who was only [-]% full, and went in the arranged carriage.

The banquet was held in the Shenzao Mansion in the inner city, the Good Fortune Hall. Speaking of it, the Shenzao Mansion is actually the inner city within the inner city, or it would be appropriate to describe it as Miyagi.

The city wall is not as tall and thick as the inner city, only about two feet long, but the inner city occupies a very large area with many halls, divided into the front mansion and the back mansion.

The main function of the former government office is to handle all kinds of government affairs. Similarly, the training place and dormitory for training new disciples of each hall are also here.

The Houfu is the forbidden area belonging to the God-made Gate, where there are many organs, and the inheritance and many secrets of the God-made Gate are preserved. For example, the "iron is like water" stove is there, with three steps and one sentry, and five steps and one post. , the protection is extremely strict.

There is a place called "Town Hall" in the inner palace, which is the place where the heads of the past generations lived, which means that the heads must guard here.

The reason why Li Buming lives outside is because the house itself is his residence in the past, and secondly, it is because of poverty...

After five dynasties of Shenzao, the rear mansion, whether it is the dispatch of security personnel or the agency information of every important place, has been quite perfect. Unless the Shenzao Gate is destroyed, otherwise, it will be the safest place in the entire Iron Island.

Even if a ninth-rank master sneaks in, if he is not dead, he will have to peel off his skin, so the significance of the head guarding himself is not great.

In addition, the "Town Palace" is too big, whether it is the guards or the maintenance personnel, there are at least a few thousand people, which is not a small expense.

In order to save money, Li Buming decided to move here by himself. In this way, the place of "Town Palace" will be temporarily vacant. When the financial crisis of Shenzaomen is resolved, he will consider whether to move there.

Shenzaomen is very poor, and Li Buming is also very poor, but this does not mean that the high-level people of Shenzaomen, or the middle and high-level classes are all poor.

Their respective families and in-laws control more than half of the land and merchants in Wanzhou, and they don't have to pay taxes. It would be strange if they could be poor.

After Li Buming came back, the "rectification movement" carried out not only sanctioned those who embezzled the treasury made by God, and killed a lot of people, but also forced these big clans and businessmen to pay taxes.

It was a matter of vital interests, it would be strange if they liked this fire phoenix who was smarter than Feilong, so they wished Li Buming would die.

But the problem is that the eighth rank of others can't beat them - the seventh rank of the entire God-made Gate can fly, and there are only a few, the former "Xuanjia Envoy" Zheng Benchu, the "Mechanism Envoy" Zhou Xiaoman, and the "Mysterious Envoy" Yang Qubing, and three elders.

And Zheng Benchu ​​had already died in the frontier with Feilong, and Yang Qubing was with Huofeng. It was impossible for them to kill Huofeng with Zhou Xiaoman alone.

From this, they came up with an idea to force Li Buming to kill Li Haoran under the guise of "justice" to avenge the flying dragon. side went.

Now, apart from the "Shen Tieshi" Shen Wencuo, maybe it's because his brother died at the hands of Huofeng, or maybe it's because he was too evasive in this matter.

Knowing that his fate will not be good in the future, he is still jumping up and down, and then there is the greedy fat man, the new "Xuanzhen envoy" Dong Shangyan, because his own network is too large and his attitude is unclear, other high-level gods have already passed away. Was subdued by Li Buming.

And this reception banquet held for Li Dao was co-organized by Wan Qi Yuxiu and Zhou Xiaoman.

In addition to the singing and dancing girls who were originally raised by them at home, they also invited the head of the "Selling Gold Cave" in Nanwai City. It is said that Liu Rumei was born in the Huajian sect and is both talented in sex and art.

In addition to the beauties, there are also fine wines and gourmet food. The wine is Wan Qi Yuxiu's own collection of aged wine for many years, and the cooks are Zhou Xiaoman's connections. They invite several chefs from "Yiweiju" in Mingtang.

Li Buming didn't spend a penny because everyone knew he was poor...

And, before the banquet started, Zhou Xiaoman, who arranged the banquet in the Good Fortune Hall of the Qianfu, said this after seeing Li Buming who came to inspect it.

"Master, why don't you move back to the 'Town Hall' in a few days, after all, that's where you should live, and staying outside all the time will lose the majesty of my divine creation."

Li Buming shook his head: "Let's forget it, our sect is struggling now, and it's not suitable to be extravagant and wasteful. This is very good. The population here is simple, and there are only two of my seat and Ding'an. I really don't need so many servants. Then The place is too big, so I don’t want to go.”

Zhou Xiaoman shook his head and said: "But the majesty of the head of the sect can't be damaged, how about this, how about my house should take care of people, repairs in the hall? In a few days I will send people there to clean it up, and there are quite a few maids and servants. get it over."

Li Buming glanced at her in surprise, and thought to himself, when he drank with Haoran when he was in Juansha Town, he made a nasty joke about Aunt Hua, saying what is the way to a woman's heart, is it true?

Isn't Senior Brother Gu very good?Therefore, Senior Sister Zhou... I should be thinking too much, alas, in this way, I am still very sorry for Senior Brother Gu.

It's just that one time. From now on, I will only communicate with Senior Sister Zhou on normal business affairs, and will never do anything more.

Besides, if he really lived in the "Town Hall", all the expenses would be borne by Zhou Xiaoman, Li Buming felt that he seemed to be taken care of, which was unacceptable to him who was quite machismo.

So he shook his head and said, "No need, this is fine."

Zhou Xiaoman was quite disappointed...
