Hang up from apprentice Li Mochou

Chapter 235 Please let me live (please subscribe)

At the banquet, Li Hu put all kinds of scapegoats and crimes on Guo Sheng's head, describing him as a traitorous, despicable, sinister and cunning villain.

Guo Jing heard each one of them and said angrily: "How dare the traitor be so arrogant?"

"General Li, even if you go to the banquet, I will go with you and I will never let them hurt you."

Li Hu was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Guo. With Mr. Guo here, I understand that those thieves will not dare to make mistakes."

……

Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a big news from the prefect's Yamen from the well-informed Guo Sheng.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he had a cold look on his face, "I knew you two would get involved together. With Li Hu's character, it's natural to think of what he can say and what dirty water he can throw out. And know.”

As he spoke, he called his soldiers and asked, "Have all the things I asked you to arrange have been arranged?"

"Everything has been arranged when we get back to the general."

A sneer appeared on Guo Sheng's face, "That's good, then I'll wait and see the show."

He had already arranged everything for tonight so that every move of the enemy could not be hidden from his eyes.

At this time, Lu Nianchou didn't get too involved in the affairs in Xiangyang City. Even if he knew that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had returned to Xiangyang, he didn't take it too seriously.

Although Guo Jing's martial arts skills are high, Huang Rong is even more resourceful. Together, the couple can summon heroes from all over the world. They are indeed a considerable force.

But his current martial arts skills are becoming more and more terrifying unknowingly. With the AFK system, even the horizontal training skills that were stuck in the bottleneck in the past are improving every day.

He could already feel that the day when he would refine the Golden Cauldron Dharma Body was not far away.

As for the secret skills of swordsmanship and internal strength and lightness, they are getting better and better day by day. Guo Jing and Huang Rong are no longer in his eyes.

However, Yaoshi Dongxiehuang was Cheng Ying's master after all, and his wife was inextricably linked to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, so Lu Nianchou had not thought of embarrassing them.

As for what Guo Sheng wanted to do, he neither agreed nor opposed it.

If the matter is completed and the reputation of Guo Jing and Huang Rong can be ruined, that will naturally be a good thing.

If something fails, it has nothing to do with him, just regard it as a blow to Guo Sheng.

This is also the tacit understanding between him and Guo Sheng.

As for killing Guo Jing and Huang Rong, neither he nor Guo Sheng has such thoughts at the moment. With the couple's prestige in the martial arts world and Xiangyang City, doing so is simply asking for trouble.

Lu Nianchou rested all night at Cheng Ying's place. When it was dawn the next day, he had already gotten up under her service and was ready to go out to find Jueqing Valley.

Since he had experienced a bloody battle at this time, the smell of blood was everywhere inside and outside the city. Even if he possessed the magical skill of Yin Yang Tian Gong, it would be difficult to trace the aura left by Li Mochou.

He could only take the map prepared by Guo Sheng and search for it one by one, but he found nothing until sunset.

Lu Nianchou didn't think about going back. The longer Li Mochou disappeared, the more uneasy he felt.

It was because Cheng Ying had just arrived in Xiangyang and had not yet settled down, and had experienced a bloody battle, so he stayed in Xiangyang to accompany her for one night.

Now that the dust has basically settled in Xiangyang City, with the methods of Guo Sheng and others, if they can't deal with even one Li Hu, they are just a bunch of losers.

So he ignored the darkness and still searched in the wilderness. Even with his lightness, it was not easy to find a hidden valley like a needle in a haystack.

Just when he was looking for Li Mochou in the wilderness, a banquet that had been prepared in Xiangyang City had already begun.

This was a celebration banquet in name only, and the entire top management of Xiangyang City, as well as the squires who could speak in the city, all showed up.

At the banquet, delicacies and fine wines had been prepared, and young women were dancing gracefully. Everyone drank and drank, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After all, this was a rare victory for Xiangyang City, or an unprecedented victory for the entire Song Dynasty when facing the Mongols. Many people felt joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Naturally, everyone praised the powerful local gentry and praised Guo Sheng and Li Hu for turning the tide this time.

As for Lu Nianchou's reputation, it has already spread throughout Xiangyang City. Even a three-year-old child knows that he single-handedly defeated an army of tens of thousands and took the head of an enemy general among tens of thousands of troops.

In such an atmosphere, who would have thought that both Guo Sheng and Li Hu had their own thoughts and hidden murderous intentions.

As the banquet time continued to pass, Li Hu became more and more anxious, and even a thin layer of sweat could not help but break out on his forehead.

He had originally agreed with Guo Jing to come to the banquet together, but before leaving, Guo Jing was suddenly called away by Huang Rong, saying that there was something urgent and he would be back soon.

Li Hu knew that Guo Jing was a man who promised a lot of money, so although he felt a little uneasy, he could only agree.

Seeing that time passed slowly, but Guo Jing was nowhere to be seen, he sent three groups of people to look for Guo Jing, but no one was found at all.

At this time, a confidant came to the table where he was sitting, leaned over and whispered: "Sir, the men we sent were not able to enter the Guo Mansion at all. Everyone was sent back."

"It is said that something important happened to Mrs. Guo, and she dragged Guo Jing out of Xiangyang City overnight."

"What?" Li Hu couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard this, and said through gritted teeth: "How could this happen? Damn it, he actually let me go?"

"A mere country man, I've already given him enough respect, how dare he do this?"

Seeing that he was furious and furious, he couldn't even maintain a semblance of calm.

Guo Sheng, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly said loudly: "Master Li Hu, we are all here today to celebrate Xiangyang City's unprecedented victory, so we are gathered here together."

"But Mr. Li is very busy with things. Even during the banquet, he is always busy with official matters. Such a heart for the country and the people is really admirable."

"I just don't know what Mr. Li is busy with? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and everyone here can help."

At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively. Although a big war caused great losses to the entire Xiangyang City, it was not necessarily a bad thing for the squires and powerful people.

Many forces in the city have been dispersed. After so many people died, many shops, casinos, brothels, and fields have become ownerless.

This is undoubtedly an extremely huge fortune. They are like a group of vultures, staring at this piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite.

The two people who can decide the distribution of interests and have the most say are Guo Sheng and Li Hu.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that behind Guo Sheng, there is the young hero who can defeat ten thousand with one, and that is the real ruthless man.

Everyone who witnessed Lu Nianchou killing on the battlefield had indescribable admiration and fear for him.

In this situation, even if Li Hu holds a large army, he is still a head shorter than Guo Sheng.

So when they heard Guo Sheng speak, many people spoke in agreement.

"Master Guo is right. Master Li, if you have any difficulty, just say it."

"We are all Pao Ze fighting side by side, and we have experienced life and death together. If you need help in any way, I will never refuse." Everyone said in a hurry, but Li Hu's face turned slightly pale, obviously not He stopped drinking, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Thank you for your concern, General Guo. It's just some trivial government affairs, not a big deal. My servants are cautious, so I asked many times."

Guo Sheng did not continue to press the question, but just smiled and said: "It's okay since there is no big problem. Although the Mongols have been forced to retreat, we all know that the main army of the Mongolian Khan Ogodei is divided into three groups and is still attacking in an all-out way. I am the Song Dynasty court."

"The Xiangyang battlefield is just one large army. Although Tacha'er was killed, the Mongols may not come back."

"If we want to defend Xiangyang City, we still need to work together."

Li Hu was naturally very complimentary, not like a general in charge of an army at all, but like Guo Sheng's subordinate.

After another round of drinking, Guo Sheng suddenly opened his mouth and said to Li Hu: "Master Li, I heard that you have a concubine named Meiniang. She is very beautiful. She is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting and boudoir. The secret technique is unforgettable.”

"I, Lao Guo, am alone in Xiangyang City and don't even have a caring concubine. I wonder if Mr. Li can cut off his love and give Meiniang to me to warm my bed?"

When Li Hu heard this, his face instantly turned livid and his body became a little stiff.

Although Mei Niang is only his concubine, because his wife died young, he has doted on this lovely girl Mei Niang in every possible way over the years.

If his old mother hadn't stopped him, he would have made her his wife.

What's more, Mei Niang also gave birth to a son and a daughter for herself, and that was her only son.

The finger that Guo Sheng sent someone to remove before was the youngest son born by Mei Niang.

Asking for a Mei Niang from oneself at this time is simply a naked humiliation. It means stepping on one's own head and making one crawl to the ground.

Li Hu knew very well that Guo Sheng wanted to bow his head in front of all the nobles in Xiangyang City. From now on, everyone would understand who is in charge of the entire Xiangyang City.

Whether the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind can be seen through this banquet.

These people present are all human beings. If they give in now, they will immediately be pushed down by others. If there is no golden opportunity in the future, they will never be able to stand up again.

But if you refuse...

Li Hu raised his head and looked at Guo Sheng's faint eyes. His whole body felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on him, and he felt completely chilled.

"If you dare to refuse, I may not be able to leave this banquet alive."

"In ancient times, Pei Gong went to the Overlord's Hongmen Banquet. Today's banquet is not just a naked Hongmen Banquet."

"I thought that with Guo Jing as my support, this person would not be so unscrupulous, but now that Guo Jing is not around, things may be in trouble."

"And my little son, if you refuse..."

Li Hu was thinking a lot for a while, his face turned blue and white, and he was speechless for a long time.

"How come Mr. Li can't even bear to have a concubine?" Guo Sheng's face turned cold, he snorted and smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table in front of him, causing the wine to splash out.

The musicians and dancers at the banquet were all frightened and trembling. They all stood frozen in place, not daring to take a breath.

The other squires and powerful men looked at each other in disbelief, and all looked at Li Hu. The atmosphere in the venue instantly became extremely silent and depressing.

Li Hu unknowingly broke out in cold sweat on his back. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out for a long time.

"It's really disappointing. She's just a concubine. I didn't expect Mr. Li to refuse to part with me."

Guo Sheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since Mr. Li doesn't want it, I won't force it."

As he spoke these words, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly relaxed slightly.

Someone immediately said: "They are just mere girls. Since General Guo lacks someone to warm his bed, I will pick out a few beautiful virgins from the house and have them sent to the general's house later."

"Yes, a mere woman doesn't matter. I have a concubine in my heart. She is very touching. There is a special flavor in it. I will have someone send it to the general later."

"Haha, my little girl is now in her prime. Although she is a commoner and not so virtuous, she can still serve the general with tea and water, and then send her to the general's house to serve him."

For a while, everyone spoke one after another. Some gave away their concubines, some gave away their daughters, and some gave away some singing girls raised in the mansion.

Li Hu looked more and more embarrassed in the audience. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, but suddenly felt a pain in his chest and his eyes went dark.

"This……"

He instantly looked at Guo Sheng, and immediately saw the cold luster in his eyes.

Li Hu understood instantly that he was willing to bow his head and submit tonight so that he could leave the banquet unharmed.

But if you are disobedient...

Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, everything in front of him seemed to become blurry, and he finally felt extremely scared.

"He actually asked someone to poison me?! When exactly did it happen?"

Li Hu was panicked and angry, but suddenly his throat felt sweet and blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't hold it back any longer, pushed the table in front of him, and stood up staggeringly, "Guo Sheng, you actually poisoned the wine?!"

"Do you want to poison everyone here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Many people drank half of their drinks and immediately spit them out.

"Li Hu, you are so presumptuous!" Guo Sheng suddenly smashed the wine glass in his hand in front of Li Hu, and the wine in the glass immediately soaked his clothes.

"Everyone and I enjoyed the wine on the table today. Everyone present is safe. I also drank the wine together."

"Is it possible that I want to poison myself?"

Guo Sheng said in a cold tone: "I just asked you for a concubine. If you don't want to let me go, forget it. You still want to throw dirty water on me."

"Do you really think that I, Guo Sheng, am easy to bully?"

"You..." Li Hu was so angry that his vision turned black and the smell of blood in his throat became heavier and heavier.

He felt more and more frightened, and felt that the other party really wanted to kill him in front of everyone.

The more Li Hu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't know whether it was because his legs and feet were weak, or because of the fear in his heart. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

"Master Guo, please let me live!"
