The dinner lasted until late at night. The singers who helped to entertain the guests changed one after another, and the drinks were warmed countless times. Everyone was drunk and had a blush on their face.
But there are only five exceptions, Li Xin'an, Li Tengkong, Li Linfu, Zhou Hong and Zhang Siyuan.
Li Xin'an glanced at the people at the banquet in the hall, his eyebrows a little solemn.
Among the five people who did not drink, he himself was too young to drink. The seventh sister was a monk and could not drink. But what happened to those three people?
Zhou Hong is Li Linfu's personal guard, so it's okay if he doesn't drink. But why doesn't Zhang Siyuan drink? Li Xin'an has heard about this old man. This old man is not happy without drinking.
The most suspicious thing is Li Linfu. As the head of the family, he is the most important person in the family dinner. Tonight, he did not drink at all! He declined all the wines offered by the eldest brother, the second brother and the mistress of the family.
"What the hell is Li Linfu doing..." Li Xin'an narrowed his eyes, feeling a little chilly in his heart.
He instinctively felt that something would happen tonight.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Tengkong asked with concern when he saw Li Xin'an staring at Li Linfu solemnly.
"Sister Qi, don't you think it's a little strange?" Li Xin'an looked at Li Tengkong.
Li Tengkong blinked and followed Li Xin'an's gaze, "You mean...father didn't drink?"
"right!"
"...It's really not normal." Li Tengkong muttered: "Maybe he has other plans, maybe."
Li Xin'an shook his head and said, "My heart is beating so hard. I always feel that something will happen tonight."
"Are you sure you're not tired?" Li Tengkong joked, "It's so late. If you really can't hold on anymore, just go back first."
"No, it's not appropriate for me to leave during the family dinner."
Li Xin'an lowered his head and rubbed his sore eyes, but did not notice that Zhou Hong, who was standing behind Li Linfu, suddenly raised his head and glanced upward.
Li Linfu turned around, the two exchanged glances, and Zhou Hong grinned, revealing a cruel smile.
He immediately turned around, his eyes met Zhang Siyuan's, and the two nodded tacitly to each other.
Li Linfu raised his wine glass, and the noise in the hall suddenly fell silent.
Li Xin'an raised his head and looked at Li Linfu in surprise. This was the first glass of wine he picked up tonight.
"Thanks to His Majesty's grace, my Li family is prosperous. My eldest son, Li Xiu, and my daughter, Teng Kong, are all amazingly talented people. The rising stars are also springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain. I would like to drink this wine to celebrate the prosperity of my Li family!"
"To the Li family, to my father!" Everyone in the hall raised their glasses together.
Li Linfu raised the wine glass to his lips, raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Li Xin'an suddenly heard a sound above his head.
The next moment, the roof suddenly shattered, and above Li Linfu's head, a figure struck towards his head like lightning.
Zhou Hong laughed ferociously, raised her fist, and swung it at the man.
Facing Zhou Hong's fierce fist, the man did not dodge or evade, and his downward momentum did not diminish at all, heading straight for Li Linfu's head.
"Ding——" There was a sound like gold and iron intersecting, and a violent collision unfolded above Li Linfu's head. Zhou Hong groaned, and his body flew straight out, smashing the delicate screen into pieces on the ground.
However, the assassin's offensive was eventually interrupted by Zhou Hong. His body shifted and he had to turn around and land in the center of the lobby.
"Ah..." The sudden change caused everyone at the dinner to be shocked. Under the shattered sand and gravel on the roof, many people had their heads smashed and bleeding, and the aunts and ladies were even pulling at each other.
The voice shouted.
The men pretended to be calm and looked at the man in the center of the lobby in fear.
"Who is here? How dare you act so arrogantly in the Li Mansion!" Li Xiu was also shocked, but he still raised his mind and reprimanded sternly.
The assassin did not answer, staring at Zhou Hong who barely stood up, and said contemptuously: "Back then, the old master of the Iron Fist Sect was very famous in the world, and he was even more upright. The Wu family had full power and sent people to invite people to become officials in the court many times.
The sect leader refused righteously. But how come it only took one generation for the Iron Fist Sect’s atmosphere to become so corrupted!”
"If you say that you are doing things for the imperial court, that's it. If you are doing things for the foolish emperor, you can still say that you are greedy for wealth. But you are a traitor.

What does it mean if I do something for you? Zhou Hong, even if you want to be a dog, you have to do it in a classy way."
"What Sect Leader Chu taught me is that I, Zhou Hong, am just a rough guy. I don't understand anything and have no style." Zhou Hong said with a ferocious smile: "But I'm not stupid. I know the current affairs and know who is right to follow!"
"He is the person you think is right to follow?" The assassin pointed at Li Linfu, the ridicule on his face becoming more obvious.
"The prime minister treats me well, so of course I will serve him loyally. On the other hand, the leader of the Chu clan doesn't even wear a mask when he commits an assassination. Isn't that extremely stupid?"
"I, Chu Yingsheng, have been upright and upright throughout my life. I have never done anything that goes against my conscience. I have a clear conscience. Why should I be secretive?"
"Then you are not afraid of being involved in the Iron Armored Gate?"
"There are all hot-blooded men on and off my iron-clad gate. How can they be afraid of traitorous ministers and vicious dogs? What's more -" the assassin sneered and looked at Li Linfu.
"Kill him and we won't have anything to worry about."
Li Xin'an knew who this person was.
He turned his head suddenly, "Seventh Sister..."
Li Tengkong covered his mouth, with a solemn expression on his face, and said, "I know, please don't speak."
She gently picked up Li Xin'an, ducked and hid behind a pillar.
Li Xin'an's eyes were filled with eagerness and he whispered: "It's Chu Yingsheng..."
"A master of the first-level return-to-truth realm, the master of the Iron Armor Sect, he has a suit of armor that rivals that of iron and steel, and he is very famous in the martial arts world. I remember that he was ranked seventh in the martial arts rankings in Tianji Tower last year. In the first division of Henglian
Shang Geng is the leader of the letter A."
It's just... why does Chu Yingsheng's voice sound so familiar? I really want to hear it somewhere.
Li Xin'an shook his head, thinking that he had heard wrongly. The other party was a master of the True Return Realm. How could he have heard his voice?
"But now he wants to assassinate his father." Li Tengkong said with a solemn expression, "Peace of mind, what do you want the ending to be?"
"I..." Li Xin'an became confused. He was surprised to find that even he himself didn't know what he really thought.
Now the situation on the field is very clear. Chu Yingsheng and Li Linfu, the assassin and the murdered, between the two, one person must die.
Who would you wish to die?
"If you don't know, just take a closer look." Li Tengkong's words interrupted Li Xin'an's trance, "Take a closer look to see how Chu Yingsheng died."
"Why is the seventh sister so sure that Chu Ying will die?"
"Because, our father is Li Linfu..."
Zhou Hong dragged her staggering steps, covering her right arm with her left hand, and walked towards Chu Yingsheng.
Although the punch just now hit Chu Yingsheng's body firmly, he felt like he was hitting a mountain. Chu Yingsheng's horizontal kung fu at the Return to True Realm directly broke his arm.
"That punch just now, if it had been made by the old sect master, even if he was in the Yuan Yuan realm, I would never have dared to resist, but you are different. Zhou Hong, do you know why you have been stuck in the second level and been unable to break through?"
Chu Yingsheng said proudly: "People who learn martial arts want freedom and an open-minded mind in order to have some insights. If you devote yourself to a traitor for glory and wealth, you have cut off the way to breakthrough. If you can reach the first level, then you can
This is the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"Fuck you!" Zhou Hong spat hard, "Bah! Chu Yingsheng, aren't you just a few years older than me, and you have already reached the first level earlier than me? I respect you and call you "Chen" a few times.
Sect Master, you really kicked your nose and slapped your face. You even taught me a lesson. I am not afraid of anything, even if you are in the Return to True Realm, I will still fight you! If you want to kill the prime minister, you must first pass me!"
Looking at Zhou Hong who looked like she was willing to die generously, Chu Yingsheng said disdainfully: "Kill you? My hands are dirty!"
He looked at Li Linfu, who had a calm face, and was a little surprised, "The prime minister is not afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Li Linfu asked calmly, "I am actually an official of the imperial court. With His Majesty's grace to protect me, how can I be threatened by a reckless man like you?"
"Haha, he is not a good emperor even if he can appoint a treacherous minister like you!" Chu Yingsheng said with a cruel smile, "I want to see if the grace of that fatuous emperor can protect your head!"
He looked around and said slowly: "I have heard that Li Linfu has a blood-clothed hall under his command and a hall master who has returned to the Yuan Realm. I wonder if the blood-clothed hall master is in the hall now?"
Chu Yingsheng's face turned to Li Xin'an, and as the lights flickered, Li Xin'an
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xin'an finally saw his appearance clearly, but her eyes widened in surprise and she didn't believe it.
"It's him!"
This was actually the pedestrian who drank tea with him in the street tea shop during the day!
"Do you know him?" Li Tengkong asked incredulously.
"I... met him today..." Li Xin'an swallowed hard. No wonder he felt that Chu Yingsheng's voice was so familiar.
When Li Tengkong heard this, he immediately asked with concern: "He didn't do anything to you, right?"
"He doesn't know that I am Li Linfu's son. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to survive." Li Xin'an said with a bitter smile.
Chu Yingsheng's voice sounded again.
"Master Xiang, if the people from Xueyitang don't come out, I will take action."
Li Linfu said: "Sect leader Chu is a master of the Henglian sect, and he is known to be fair and aboveboard. The unscrupulous and insidious methods of Xueyitang are of no use against Sect Leader Chu."
"The Prime Minister does know a lot." Chu Yingsheng nodded, "Yes, even if you call out the Blood Clothes Hall, you will definitely die today."
Li Linfu shook his head, "I have other means."
"Other means? Just rely on the one hundred and fifty soldiers you have hidden in Li's Mansion?" Chu Yingsheng smiled and said, "Prime Minister, since I am here to assassinate, how can I not find out the situation and take precautions
Get ready. Listen carefully, is it very noisy outside the lobby?"
When Li Xin'an heard this, his ears twitched, but he found that there were noisy people outside and fires were everywhere. His attention was completely attracted by Chu Yingsheng. There was such a big commotion outside, but he didn't pay attention at all.
Chu Yingsheng put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.
After a while, a burst of hearty laughter sounded outside the lobby.
"Happy, haha..."
Footsteps sounded again on the broken roof, and there was another burst of gravel and dust. Two men in black rolled down from the roof and landed next to Chu Yingsheng.
There was a cry outside the lobby, and a dozen men in black appeared outside the lobby and surrounded the only doorway to the lobby.
They were all dressed in black, covered in blood, and not armed with weapons.
"Sect Master." Next to Chu Yingsheng, a disciple of the Iron Armor Sect said: "Zhang Lin and Hu San are dead, but they killed twenty forbidden troops and did not embarrass us."
"Okay!" Chu Yingsheng said with a smile, "He is indeed a man from the Iron Armored Sect. Let's kill Li Linfu and use his head to pay homage to the two brothers!"
The men in black clothes outside the hall all took a step forward. The servants who were waiting outside were now frightened and started crying.
Li Xin'an looked out and saw that in a remote corner of the crowd, Uncle Fu didn't know where he was. Wu Xiang was huddled at the back of the crowd, looking extremely panicked.
"Nothing can happen to you two. Poor young master, I may die today. I am a new master and I haven't learned any skills yet..." Li Xin'an thought with boundless relief.
Li Linfu looked at these men in black who shared the same hatred, but he smiled abnormally: "Very good, excluding the two who died, there are fifteen people in total, all of them are here."
"What did you say?" Chu Yingsheng narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he burst into laughter.
"Prime Minister, stop bragging. The situation is no longer under your control. Even though you mobilized the Forbidden Army to guard the residence and the Jinwu Guards to patrol the streets, we still broke through easily? I'm afraid, Prime Minister, you're going to kill me
You have no idea how we got in."
"What's unexpected about that?" Li Linfu's eyes, which made many people tremble with fear, seemed to light up, flashing with a dangerous arc.
He smiled softly, and his calm voice contained the confidence that everything was under control: "Isn't he the groom in my youngest son's yard?"
Chu Yingsheng's laughter stopped abruptly.
Li Xin'an's body trembled and he looked at Li Linfu in disbelief.
Young son? Where does he have a young son? He is not talking about who he is!
Li Xin'an had actually guessed that Chu Yingsheng and the others would never dare to attack the tightly guarded Li Mansion. They could only let the thieves in.
But, how could it be someone from my own yard...
Li Linfu's voice echoed in everyone's ears again.
"I can know everything I want to know about the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
