Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 92 No good banquet
In the outer city of the capital, in a mansion at the foot of the four cities.

Wang Yi looked at the gold-plated invitation with the words Zhang Yuting printed on it, and his expression looked a little strange.

"This Marshal Zhang is quite interesting. After entering the capital, he actually sent invitations to us, the strange people of Jianghu? Although he started out as a bandit, he has started to make reforms now. He is preparing to promote his son to the position, and the bandit army will be replaced by a new army."

"Brother Wang, have you forgotten the anti-Fengtian incident that happened a few years ago? The internal strife of the Fengtian clique almost caused the road he paved for his son to collapse. Wouldn't he need to get some help from others for his son? And look at the address written on this invitation."

In the study, along with the invitation came Liu Wei, the young owner of Jianghu Inn. He came to inform Wang Yi about the progress of the drawing of the Autumn Leaf Begonia Picture. However, before he could explain, the invitation from Marshal Zhang arrived right after that.

After hearing Liu Wei's reminder, Wang Yi also opened the invitation and saw that the banquet address was written as the Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, and he understood.

"So this person is just testing the waters? Did you receive it too?"

"Not just me, Yanwu Hall, Jisheng Hall, Jiyun Society... all the big and small, important figures in the capital have received the invitation. Although you can go or not, not going has already given your answer. Brother Wang, are you going?"

"Where's you?"

"Our Jianghu Inn is a place for gathering information and providing food, drink and shelter. Although our business is a bit big, Marshal Zhang doesn't need to compete with the information seller. But you, Brother Wang, are in trouble. Believe it or not, the messenger has not left yet and is waiting for your reply outside the house."

The young shopkeeper Liu Wei sat there fanning himself with a folding fan, and took a sip from time to time.

"Is this how popular I am?"

"You said it yourself, Marshal Zhang was born in the outlaws and made his fortune. Hasn't he seen enough of us, the strange people in the martial arts world? Moreover, the Gao family, one of the four famous families, and the Chuma lineage, they have all taken root outside the Great Wall. Although Marshal Zhang is an ordinary person, he doesn't have these two families standing by his side. Do you believe it?"

"Since these two are standing by us, why bother to go far away? How dare he come to Beijing so brazenly? Doesn't he have one or two experts around him?"

"No one would complain about having too much money, and the horse-riding immortals can only go beyond Shanhaiguan. The masters around Marshal Zhang were also given discounts when they entered the capital, and you, the young talent, have become famous in the martial arts world since the birthday banquet of the Lu family last year. Have you forgotten that there were also masters of the horse-riding lineage outside the customs at the birthday banquet of the Lu family? To be honest, if Longhu Mountain was not too far away, Marshal Zhang might have sent the invitation to Longhu Mountain."

"According to you, I have to go to this party?"

"That's true. Believe it or not, if you refuse now, another invitation will come in the afternoon, with gold, silver, jewelry or something else; if you refuse again, there will be another invitation, but the invitation may contain bullets."

"Hehe, Marshal Zhang is also a wonderful person. You know him quite well."

"In our line of work, intelligence is our bread and butter, and this guy isn't hard to understand. But just because you understand him doesn't mean you can control him. One thing for another."

"That's right, Sister Hua."

A woman walked in.

"Brother, you're looking for me?"

"Go and tell the one waiting outside the house that my king will be there when he arrives to see the Marshal's style."

As he said this, he handed the reply card with a dollar in it to Sister Hua and asked her to send it back.

After dealing with this matter, Wang Yi continued to discuss with Liu Wei the topic he had come to him about before.

"How's the progress of this autumn leaf begonia painting?"

"There's no problem with the network in the Central Plains. After all, there are basically branches of our inn in this area, so it's safe. But if you go south and northwest, you'll have to take it easy. Not only is the journey long, but it's not safe along the way..."

"Why don't you just ask for more money? It's a good opportunity to see if you can get some from Marshal Zhang. But then again, you always say that too many people die in this world, and too many beasts eat people and become powerful. How come I haven't encountered many of them in these years?"

"Because you were picked up by the Ghost Hand King in the capital. In those days, if you left the capital, you would be eaten by humans or beasts within ten miles. It's even more difficult to say what happened afterwards. Your master, the Ghost Hand King, is also a top expert in the martial arts world. Beasts like to eat people, but with Taoism, their brains are naturally smarter. They can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

After that, the world became a little more stable. The place where we settled down was not a poor place, but a prime area. The beasts were killed. Those who were not killed either fled to the outside of the pass or hid in the mountains in the northwest. God knows where they are causing trouble. Otherwise, why would I come to find you? Are you free?"

"I don't believe what others say, but you are really free. Every time I see you, you drink a lot."

"Okay, okay, I won't bring the gourd next time, okay? Since there's no problem with you, I'll go back and tell them to calculate the price. I'll tell you the exact amount. Anyway, just prepare more in your budget."

"You're charging me in installments instead of paying me all at once?"

"Don't worry about your belt, my friend. Of course, if you come with us, we can pay it off in one go. Anyway, I don't understand your tricks, let alone those beasts."

"Are you equating yourself with a beast?"

"Go, go, go, go. Tell me when you go, and I'll go with you."

"Didn't you say you can go or not?" "If you don't go, I really can go or not, but if you go, Jianghu Xiaozhan's reach is long, but there are places in the capital that it can't reach. After all, we have strange people here, and they also have them. With you here, I can also see the quality of these foreign strange people and see if I can stretch my hand among them."

"The Hongmen Banquet."

"Isn't it? It's just that this general is Xiang Yu, but the eight countries in Dongjiaominxiang are not Liu Bang, but the Xiongnu who are sharpening their knives."

"You are the only one who is cultured? Aren't you just a bully who hired a bandit? Why do you have to be so cultured?"

After seeing off Liu Wei, who came to talk to him about something, Wang Yi returned to his study. He looked at the invitation for a long time and smiled.

"Those I want to see don't dare to see me, and those I don't want to see rush to my face. Marshal Zhang, you really have a big surprise for me."

Wang Yi had never thought that he would meet this historical figure in the modern history of the past century in this way. According to Wang Yi's own thinking, the only possibility for him to meet Marshal Zhang would be two years later, that is, in the 17th year of the Republic of China, when he would meet on his special train as an aerialist.

It's just that plans cannot keep up with changes, so it would be better to meet him in advance, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with this person. He can't let him die, and he can't let him not die.

The banquet will be held a week from now.

Wang Yi accepted the invitation and replied to inform that he would definitely attend the banquet, and the news spread quickly.

At one point, several foreign forces in the capital also sent people to greet Wang Yi, saying that they would be waiting for them at the gate of the embassy, ​​leaving Wang Yi completely confused.

No, isn't this a party hosted by someone else? You act as if you are the host.

In response to this, Liu Wei, the young owner of Jianghu Inn, gave an answer.

"Brother, you really don't know how powerful you are, do you?"

"Nonsense, do you think I look like someone who wants to go to Beijing and fight everyone who is invincible?"

"But your cultivation level is so high that even the old senior Li Shuwen from Yanwu Hall can't understand it. Last year, he thought he could beat you by a few moves, but after the New Year, he doesn't dare to say that anymore. So whether we want it or not, there will definitely be something exciting happening at this banquet. With your golden signboard, everyone will feel more at ease. But I'm really curious, how did you and the guy from Longhu Mountain practice? We are all cultivators, but you two stand out."

"How would I know? It's God's gift. By the way, do you have any news from Mount Longhu? What's the current situation of Senior Brother Zhang Zhiwei? Tell me about it."

When Wang Yi heard Liu Wei mention Zhang Zhiwei, the son of destiny, he also became interested. After all, he had only fought a few times since entering Beijing, and each time he won a crushing victory. It was really not as refreshing as fighting with Zhang Zhiwei. When Wang Yi asked about it, Liu Wei also briefly talked about the recent events in Longhu Mountain.

"That young Heavenly Master, according to the news I received recently, he ignored the orders of the old Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing and went down the mountain from time to time to meet the outside world outside the Longhu Mountain. But the old Heavenly Master rarely taught him a lesson. Most of the time, he just scolded him and told him to go back and face the wall, and then left him alone. But recently, it was said that another disciple named Lin Huaiyi went down the mountain without permission, and the old Heavenly Master is looking for this disciple."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Wang Yi also got a lot of information from Liu Wei's words. The first of which was that Zhang Zhiwei's practice progress had accelerated.

But this is reasonable. If it weren't for Wang Yi, Zhang Zhiwei would be more pure in his cultivation and would not be so hardworking. He would just need to practice step by step and be done with it. Because even so, his cultivation is still overwhelming among his contemporaries, ranking firmly behind Zhang Tianshi and Zuo Rutong. He is one of the top 20 in the entire Chinese land, and he is the only young one.

After another ten or twenty years, he might be able to practice more freely, but by then no one would be able to withstand a slap from him, because he would be truly invincible. Maybe his own master could, but he would not be able to slap his own master.

It's just that now there's Wang Yi, who can compete with Zhang Zhiwei, which gives him some stimulation.

Although Zhang Zhiwei has no pursuit for the so-called number one in the world, and believes that cultivation is cultivation, he is still a human being, and a young man. It is impossible to expect him to develop a non-confrontational character now. With Wang Yi as an example, how could Zhang Zhiwei let Wang Yi surpass him in cultivation?

This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Tianshi did not teach Zhang Zhiwei a lesson. If the old Tianshi thought he could easily subdue Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Zhiwei would have to stay in the mountain. But the old man felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to subdue this evil beast, and he might end up in disgrace, and he couldn't be ruthless, so he could only let it go.

As for this Lin Huaiyi, well, it seems that the duel with Zhang Zhiwei at the Lu family’s birthday banquet did not stop Zhang Tianshi from educating this Lin Huaiyi.

It is possible that he will still be taught half of the thunder method and will still be given the surname Zhang. After all, this future fourth or third in the world has talent. Whether there is the incident with Wang Yi or not, Zhang Tianshi will never let go of this good seedling of Lin Huaiyi.

"It looks like the old master is trying to find a way to educate Senior Brother Zhang again."

"You also know?"

"Won't you know if you have a chance to meet Senior Brother Zhang?"

"I'm not a sorcerer. It's boring to be mysterious."

While Wang Yi was dealing with the goodwill of the forces in the Beijing alien circle, Ichiro Nemoto also sent him a message saying that he could send a car to pick him up when he attended the banquet.

There was no other reason, because the banquet was held at the Japanese Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane.

As for this bastard, Wang Yi only replied with four words: Definitely next time.
