Chapter 174 The Grand Banquet
There are more than a dozen small cities in Jianzhou Prefecture, including dozens of martial arts forces.
But to be able to stand on the stage, at least there must be warriors from the outer world. There are about twelve or three such martial arts forces, and their strength is not too weak.
In the previous Jianzhou Prefecture, the strength of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall was weak, but it did not mean that the local martial arts in Jianzhou Prefecture was weak.
The Jiang family belongs to one of the top military forces in Jianzhou Prefecture, but it was destroyed by Chu Xiu without hesitation some time ago. This made other martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture angry and at the same time feel a little scared. The memories in their hearts could not help but be recalled by them.
In the past, when Guan Siyu first took over the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, outsiders said that he was stern and selfless, and he didn't show affection. Even his own disciples were abolished and killed.
But be careful, this is just Guan Siyu's treatment of his own people. He is so strict with his own people, how can he be merciful towards outsiders?
In the past, when Guan Siyu just took over the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, in order to stabilize the order in the Guanzhong area, he killed many people and destroyed many sects until he killed so many people that he dared not violate the rules of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall. just give up.
At present, Chu Xiu's brutal way of doing things is quite a bit like Guan Siyu in the past.
In the Luo family of Luocheng, the heads of the twelve great powers in Jianzhou prefecture all gathered here.
The Luo family was a big family at the same level as the Jiang family in the past. The Jiang family was known as Jiang Bancheng in Qicheng, and the Luo family was in Luocheng, needless to say. Even Luocheng was established because of the existence of the Luo family. of.
At this time, in a secret room of the Luo family, twelve people from the great powers of the Jianzhou Prefecture were present.
The ancestor of the Luo family also has the cultivation base of the three flowers gathered at the top. Although he is old, he is not as old as the ancestor of the Jiang family. The power of the Luo family is also in the hands of the ancestor of the Luo family.
At this time, there were twelve people in the conference hall, but in the end, these twelve people either sat upright, staring at their noses and mouths, without saying a word. Or just drink tea there, as if the tea from the Luo family is a delicacy.
The ancestor of the Luo family was dressed in black brocade with moiré patterns, and although his hair was a little gray, he was neat and meticulous.
Seeing the appearance of everyone present, the ancestor of the Luo family couldn't help frowning and said: "I said, you guys, it was you who proposed to find a place to discuss this matter first, but now my Luo family has provided such an opportunity and place, and it turns out You didn't say anything, what does that mean?"
Hearing what the ancestor of the Luo family said, the people present began to discuss in a low voice. At this moment, a man dressed as a middle-aged scribe stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, you have all seen Chuxiu's demeanor. , ruthless, ruthless, is completely a cruel official style, and does not respect rules and reason at all.
Secretly smuggling contraband, not to mention the Jiang family, we have all done it before. Don't rush to evade it, who dares to say that you have not violated even a single bit of the rules of the Guanzhong Xingtang?
That's how Chuxiu treated the Jiang family, let alone us, so this time when Chuxiu invited us to a banquet, it was probably not a good one. "
The scribe who spoke was Cheng Gongtai, the suzerain of the Shenyu Sect in Jianzhou Prefecture, 'Flying Feather Falcon', who was best at speed and body skills, and had a cultivation base in the outer world.
Hearing what Cheng Gongtai said, a rough-looking burly man in black also scratched his head and said, "Old Cheng's words make sense, this Chu Xiu has no good intentions at all!
Look at the time when he invited us to the banquet, it happened to be noon, who would pick such an unlucky time for a treat, what is he trying to do, behead us all at noon? "
This strong man in black, Dou Weihu, is the head of the Heiyan Hall in the Jianzhou Prefecture. He was born in a reckless family, and finally formed a gang like the Heiyan Hall. The history is very short, only more than ten years, but his strength is very strong. Although it is only a foreign body, but the cultivation base of the physical body is extremely terrifying, and a horizontal alchemy body can forcibly resist precious soldiers.
But at this time, after hearing what Dou Weihu said, some people echoed: "That's right, Chu Xiu didn't wait for our visit after he destroyed the Jiang family. This time, he probably has to do it himself. What's waiting for us is The sword or the food and drink are unknown!"
Following the speeches of these two people, everyone present started discussing again, which was much more lively than before.
It's just that this time everyone was more like chatting and bragging. After talking for a long time, no one said one, two, three, four, five about what should be done.
Seeing this chaotic scene, the ancestor of the Luo family yelled directly: "Shut up! Everyone gathers to think of ideas, not to chat.
Right now, these sects in my Jianzhou Prefecture are all under the pressure of Lord Chu Xiu. When we go to the banquet this time, what attitude are we going to use to face that Lord Chu Xiu? Or not, everyone, come up with a charter. "
Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one said a word.
At the end, Dou Weihu from Heiyantang sneered twice and said: "You guys are too cowardly, what else can we discuss about this kind of thing, since the other party is a Hongmen Banquet, why don't we go?
No matter how domineering Chu Xiu is, can he still attack us because we don't go to the banquet? It is true that a martial arts force cannot stop the inspectors of Jianzhou Prefecture, but what if all the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture unite? I don't believe that Chu Xiu dared to force us all to rebel! "
The people from the martial arts forces present all nodded their heads. What Dou Weihu said still makes sense.
The land of Guanzhong is no longer the chaotic place of the past, and there are still rules.
Chu Xiu can be strong or domineering, but he can't do anything wrong.
If he dared to force all the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture to rebel, this kind of thing would definitely alarm the general hall.
At that time, Chu Xiu will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. This kind of thing is no longer something that Wei Jiuduan can suppress.
It's just that everyone discussed for a long time, but they still didn't discuss the reason. In the end, they didn't even discuss whether they should go to the banquet at Chuxiu's invitation three days later. My own thoughts go away.
After everyone had left, the ancestor of the Luo family rubbed his brows wearily, and several fighters from the Luo family's hardcore generation came out, and one of them asked, "Ancestor, have you ever discussed the result?"
The ancestor of the Luo family snorted coldly when he heard the words: "What a fart it is to negotiate!
Even at this point, these idiots still have their own calculations. Everyone has a lot of calculations in their hearts. Without a knife on their necks, it is impossible to unite together!
Lizi is not enough to plan, if my Luo family really join forces with these idiots, I am afraid that I will die even faster! "
"Then Chu Xiu invited us to go or go out?" the warrior asked.
The ancestor of the Luo family said indifferently: "Of course I want to go, why not?
Shoot the first bird, the Jiang family has actually made this first bird, and my Luo family naturally can't be the second one.
Let's see, when the time comes, we only need to look at Chuxiu's attitude and follow the pandemic.
In the past, Jiang's family took advantage of Wei Jiuduan's line, developed their business and their own strength, and even vaguely gained the momentum of the first family in Jianzhou Prefecture. You were envious and jealous at the beginning, and you planned to learn from Jiang's family, but what happened now? Do you still want to learn from the Jiang family?
Remember, the first is not so easy to be, and the second is also the same.
So our Luo family doesn't want to be first or second, we only want to be third or fourth, so that we can live longer. "
The martial artists of the Luo family all nodded. Right now the power of the Luo family is still in the hands of the ancestor of the Luo family. Whatever the ancestor said, no matter whether they understand it or not, it is right to write it down first.
Three days later, in Fengming Tower, Chu Xiu directly booked Fengming Tower, the largest restaurant in Jianzhou City, and the banquet was on the sixth floor of Fengming Tower.
The land of Guanzhong is located in the center of the Three Kingdoms, so the food also has the style of the Three Kingdoms.
Chu Xiu, as the inspector of Jianzhou Prefecture, is behind the Fengming Building, a small local force in Jianzhou City. This time, in order to please Chu Xiu, he also put in great efforts, and put all the delicacies on the top.
On the main seat, Chu Xiu had already arrived here, and there were twelve seats below him. Before noon, people from all major martial arts forces came one after another.
Those who came first were the weaker martial arts forces. They didn't think so much, they just didn't want to offend Chu Xiu more.
The patriarch of the Luo family was the fourth to come in. Although he had the cultivation level of three flowers gathering at the top, he still took the initiative to say hello to Chu Xiu: "Master Chu is worthy of being a young hero on the list of dragons and tigers. He is indeed outstanding. Young and promising."
The ancestor of the Luo family and the ancestor of the Jiang family were old acquaintances in the past. The two sides had cooperated and fought against each other, so he knew the strength of the ancestor of the Jiang family quite well.
He is so polite to Chu Xiu now, not only because of Chu Xiu's status, but also because Chu Xiu has the strength to kill the ancestors of the Jiang family. Based on this, the two sides can be on equal footing.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Mr. Luo is polite, you are a senior in Jianghu, please give me more advice in the future."
The ancestor of the Luo family laughed and said, "It's easy to say, I believe that under the leadership of Lord Chu, the Jianzhou government will be even more brilliant in the future."
The two people are hypocritically flattering each other here, and many people from other martial arts forces have also come here one after another.
Shenyu Zong Cheng Gongtai, who clamored that Chu Xiu had no good intentions before, came, and Dou Weihu from Heiyan Hall also came.
Seeing Dou Weihu walk in, the rest of the people were cursing in their hearts as a reckless man and looking at the rough man, but in fact they were thinking the most.
When he was at Luo's house in the past, Dou Weihu still said that Chu Xiu was a Hongmen banquet, he would not come and so on, but now you yourself came obediently?
If there is really that idiot who listened to Dou Weihu's words and didn't come, then the other party will really stand out, and it will probably become Chu Xiu's primary target by then.
