Chapter 314
"My lord, please read the full text!" Liu Zichao and others respectfully let Tang Yin into the house.
In the hall of the Liu Mansion, the banquet had been prepared. Tang Yin and Liu Zichao were sitting at the main table, and the other guests were sitting on the side seats. There were singing and dancing girls performing in the open space in the middle, which was very lively.
"Since Mr. Tang regained the West Hundred City, it has been peaceful and peaceful, and the people have lived a comfortable life. Let us toast you!" As he spoke, Liu Zichao raised his wine glass. Seeing this, the other guests hurriedly raised their glasses to toast Tang Yin. Tang Yin smiled, picked up the cup, and said, "You all have contributed a lot to the stability of the Western Hundred City. I respect you all!"
Everyone toasted to each other and drank the wine in one gulp, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more lively.
People have always heard that Tang Yin was cruel, but since Tianyuan's army entered the city, he neither disturbed the people nor bullied others. Tang Yin's behavior was even more easy-going and polite, which was completely different from the rumors. It seemed that 10% of the rumors were unbelievable. As they drank more and more wine, everyone's fear of Tang Yin was greatly reduced, and they talked more. The banquet was filled with laughter and joy.
Seeing that Tang Yin was very happy at the banquet, with a smile on his face, Liu Zichao was also satisfied. Then he remembered that he had specially invited a theater troupe, so he smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Master Tang, a very famous troupe came to the city recently. It’s a famous troupe, would you be interested in seeing it?”
"Oh?" Tang Yin immediately became interested when he heard this. He had no interest in singing and dancing performances, but was a little curious about the theater troupe. He nodded and smiled: "Of course!"
Liu Zichao immediately turned around and told the servant behind him. The servant agreed and walked out of the hall quickly. Not long after, he brought a group of entertainers. These more than ten people were dressed in different costumes. Both men and women were all dressed in bright and eye-catching clothes, which were very exaggerated.
The first performers were two young men. One was tall, the other was short, one was fat, and the other was thin. The contrast between them was so great that it made people laugh at first sight. The tall young man played the role of a farmer, and the short young man played the role of a monkey, jumping up and down and teasing the tall young man. The scene was very interesting.
Tang Yin also found it very funny. He looked up and laughed from time to time while watching the two people's performances.
After the two of them finished their performance, another girl came out of the troupe. She mainly performed soft kung fu, but this girl looked so beautiful, and with heavy makeup, she was even more gorgeous and charming. Let alone the guests in the venue, even Tang Yin couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
The girl's body is as soft as water, almost as if she has no bones, and she performs various difficult movements that are difficult for ordinary people to do. Tang Yin has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has also practiced soft kung fu. He is well aware of the hard work involved. When he saw this girl's performance, he nodded secretly. It seemed that this girl had put in a lot of hard work in soft kung fu.
Seeing Tang Yin's eyes shining brightly, Liu Zichao misunderstood his thoughts. He leaned closer to Tang Yin and asked in a low voice: "If you are interested in her, I will ask my servant to tell the troupe. Wait. I will keep this girl!" At that time, the identity and status of artists were also very low, and they could not be on the stage, and they were only used for entertainment by optimistic dignitaries.
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved his hand and said, "I'm only interested in her performance."
From time to time, Tang Yin would reveal an evil aura, but his evil aura was not a frivolous one, but an evil aura that made people feel cold and scary. Seeing that there was no trace of lust in his eyes, Liu Zichao immediately understood that he had misunderstood. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "It's the villain who talks too much. Don't take offense, sir!"
"Hey?" Tang Yin waved his hand casually and said, "Brother Liu invites you to a banquet, why are you so polite?!"
Liu Zichao's old face was slightly red, and he nodded secretly. Tang Yin was very incomparable just because of his high position and power, but he was not greedy for women.
Soon, the girl also finished performing soft skills and quickly retreated. Next, three more groups of troupes came in to perform.
After the individual performances were completed, the artists in the troupe all performed a play together, which was about the Tianyuan Army's attack on Jicheng. The artists dressed up as Tianyuan Jun and Peng Jun respectively, and performed very hard and realistically. The guests at the banquet watched with gusto and were fascinated for a while.
Tang Yin also looked at it very seriously. Looking back now, it was really difficult to attack Jicheng by himself. The troupe initially acted out a battle between the two sides, but the rest of the performance slowly changed. After the Tianyuan Army broke through the city, they began to massacre the people in the city, while the remaining Peng Army was still making the final move. resistance, would rather die than surrender.
At this point in the performance, the play has completely taken the perspective of Peng Jun, showing Peng Jun as an indomitable righteous man, while the Tianyuan Army has become a group of bloodthirsty and brutal murderers. Seeing this, Tang Yin frowned and his face darkened. Liu Zichao next to him was sitting on pins and needles, secretly screaming, "Oh no, what on earth is this troupe performing?" Can this kind of play be performed? And it's still in front of Tang Yin. Even if you don't care about your own life, now you are going to be implicated.
In just an instant, Liu Zichao broke out in cold sweat. Suddenly, he stood up with a slap on the table and shouted: "That's enough..." Before he could finish his words, at the moment he stood up, two Tianyuan soldiers dressed up The young men holding bows and arrows suddenly turned around and shot an arrow at Tang Yin.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and the cold arrows of these two young men came too suddenly. When the two brothers Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao standing behind Tang Yin realized that something was wrong, they tried to rescue him again, but the arrows had already been fired. Flying towards Tang Yin.
At this time, Tang Yin's attention was not on the venue, but on Liu Zichao beside him, secretly wondering why he invited him here and performed such a drama. Was he trying to cause trouble for him? He was thinking about Liu Zichao's purpose when two cold arrows flew towards him.
In this situation, even immortals could not dodge, let alone Tang Yin.
However, Tang Yin's intuition was too sharp, and he still realized the approach of danger. Although he did not see the arrow, his body instinctively dodged.
Puff, puff!
With two muffled sounds, the two arrows hit Tang Yin's left shoulder and left soft rib respectively. Due to the great force, the arrow on the shoulder directly penetrated his body, and the arrow head protruded from behind him. Although the arrow under the ribs did not penetrate his body, it also deeply penetrated his body.
"Ah? There is an assassin!" The two Shangguan brothers shouted in unison, and almost at the same time, they pulled Tang Yin and his chair behind them.
As soon as the two of them pulled Tang Yin away, the other people in the troupe all shot arrows, more than ten arrows flew over.
"Roar——"
Shangguan Yuanbiao roared, raised his leg and kicked Tang Yin's wine table. There was a series of muffled bangs, and more than ten arrows were nailed to the flying table. At the same time, the two Shangguan brothers covered themselves with spiritual armor and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin——"
Their shouting alarmed the guards outside the hall. The guards rushed into the hall and shouted: "What's going on?"
"The master was assassinated, quickly catch the assassin!" Shangguan Yuanwu pointed at the troupe and shouted repeatedly.
The guards were scared when they heard this. Tang Yin was assassinated, how could this be tolerated? But before the guards could make a move, more than ten people in the troupe had taken out a pill from their arms and swallowed it. Then, they drew out the steel knives they had prepared in advance, and divided one group of people to resist the guards, while the other group of people went to kill Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao.
At this time, the dozen ordinary artists had transformed into spiritual warriors with profound cultivation.
It was not that the Shangguan brothers were careless and forgot to use the insight technique to investigate when they entered Liu's house, but that these people in the troupe were really cunning. They took the spirit-dispersing pill in advance to disperse the spiritual energy in their bodies, so that they did not have spiritual energy cultivation, and deceived the Shangguan brothers' insight technique. At this time, they took the spirit-gathering pill again, and the spiritual energy in their bodies was condensed, and they recovered to become extremely powerful spiritual cultivators.
Several assassins rushed to the Shangguan brothers. Of course, their target was not the two of them, but Tang Yin who was shot.
Tang Yin was shot by two arrows, and the assassins did not know whether he was dead or alive. To confirm his death, they had to cut off Tang Yin's head.
The two Shangguan brothers transformed their swords into spirits and faced the assassins who came to kill them. After the fight, they were both shocked. The cultivation of these assassins was not simple, and there were many masters above the spiritual realm. The two brothers did not dare to be careless and used all their skills to resist the assassins.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, and a good tiger cannot fight against many wolves. No matter how powerful the two Shangguan brothers were, they were only two people, while there were seven or eight assassins who came to kill them. Five assassins held the two Shangguan brothers tightly, and the other three ran to Tang Yin behind them.
Tang Yin was still sitting on the chair at this time, but the arrow under his ribs had been pulled out by him, and he was pulling out the arrow on his shoulder. Seeing this, the three assassins shouted and stabbed Tang Yin's vitals with their spirit swords.
He secretly said that it was time! Tang Yin's body on the chair suddenly twisted and turned to the back of the chair in an instant, and then kicked the chair to the three assassins.
Crack!
The solid wood chair immediately broke into pieces when it came into contact with the sharp edges of the three spiritual swords. The three spiritual swords continued to stab Tang Yin.
Because he was injured, Tang Yin was unwilling to resist the sharp edges. He used shadow drift to flash from the front of the assassin to the back of the three people, and took the arrow with blood in his hand and stabbed it at the back of the man in the middle.
The assassins seemed to be very familiar with Tang Yin's skills. Before he could get close with an arrow, the assassin in the middle had already returned a sword and went straight for his throat.
This was a life-and-death fight. Even if Tang Yin could stab him in the back, his backhand sword could cut off Tang Yin's neck.
Tang Yin frowned secretly. In desperation, he could only withdraw his moves and lower his head to dodge the opponent's backhand sword. As soon as he let the sword pass, the other two assassins rushed to him from the left and right, and two slender spiritual swords crossed and stabbed his left and right ribs.
He had no weapon in his hand, only an arrow, unable to block the opponent's spiritual sword, Tang Yin took a deep breath, pulled back, and leaped back. Although he was wounded by two arrows, Tang Yin's body movements were still agile, and he jumped more than two meters away.
