(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Book Friends 38965322' and 'Book Friends 57168366'.)
Under Dou Shihai's personal guidance, Wang Junlin and others came to the banquet hall.
The space in the banquet hall is limited, so here Shan Xiongxin led a hundred soldiers and could only be led to the side hall next to him, waiting with the guards and attendants of other guests.
Only Perfume followed Wang Junlin into the hall.
The banquet hall was full of people, and Wang Junlin was basically a distinguished person, so he was the last one to arrive.
Although Wang Junlin and Lu Shi were fighting openly and secretly, Wang Junlin seemed to have the upper hand right now, so when he came in, almost everyone greeted him and greeted him, of course Lu Youwei and Lu Jianheng who appeared before At the same time, almost everyone also greeted and greeted them.
Wang Junlin's expression was calm and majestic, and he returned the salute by bowing his hands, nodding his head, or raising his hand.
Dou Shihai was sitting on the main seat, Wang Junlin was sitting first on the left, and Perfume was standing next to him, but this arrangement was obviously deliberately arranged, and it was a little far away from Dou Shihai!
Moreover, Wang Junlin noticed that there were only two kinds of people who came today, one was loyal to the Lu family, and the other was Dou Shihai's best friend. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, what they did today must not be spread. The people present must be their own people. I don't know what Dou Shihai and Lu's plan is today, so just now they saluted Wang Junlin, said hello, and the flattery on their faces came from the heart.
Wang Junlin noticed that there were six guards standing behind Lu Jianheng's seat, one was Chen Yihang, and the other five were actually five sword servants brought by Zhang Tiangang who had disguised himself.
When Dou Shihai waved his hand, the ceremonies and music stopped, and the speaker also shut up. The audience was silent, waiting quietly for today's birthday star Dou Shihai to speak.
At this time, Dou Shihai's eyes became extremely deep and cold, and his sharp eyes swept across the audience. Then, he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled softly.
Although he was smiling, it was just this smile, but it should never be what a birthday star should have.
Because that smile was a sneer, a murderous and mocking smile.
"I'm going to celebrate my birthday tonight. Actually, there is a very important thing to do."
Dou Shihai suddenly said such a sentence out of nowhere, and those who didn't know looked puzzled and curious.
What is the important thing that this veteran of Fanyang County who holds military power said?
As he spoke, Dou Shihai suddenly took a long knife from the guard next to him,
Many people gasped on the spot!
There were quite a few people with flexible minds, they suddenly thought of something, looked at the expressionless Wang Junlin, and their complexions became unnatural and pale.
After seeing Wang Junlin, some people couldn't help looking at the side doors on both sides of the hall, as if they were afraid that a group of armored soldiers with swords and axes would rush in from this side door in the next moment!
Dou Shihai's eyes were focused on Wang Junlin's face, with a playful expression on his face, but he didn't see any look of panic and fear on Wang Junlin's face, he couldn't help being very disappointed, and finally said: "Wang Junlin, I heard that you If you want to be an official of this old man, you also want to kill this old man. Since you think this way, you are my mortal enemy, Dou Shihai. But as my mortal enemy, you dare to come to this old man’s birthday banquet. It seems that you Is it really arrogant?"
Wang Junlin stood up, ignored what Dou Shihai said, raised his right hand, and handed over the secret decree prepared in advance to his hand.
Wang Junlin spread out the secret decree, held it in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's secret decree, whether you are an official of the imperial court, a nobleman of the Sui Dynasty, or an ordinary wealthy businessman, if you still don't kneel down to accept the decree, do you want to be rejected? Kill the nine clans."
The audience was dead silent, several rich merchants knelt down with a thud, and several small nobles also knelt down. The others looked hesitant, but they stood still in the end, obviously wanting to see the situation. Seeing that most of them didn't move, those who were kneeling looked at the knife in Dou Shihai's hand, hesitated a little and stood up again.
Dou Shihai looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh, and shouted: "Wang Junlin, what a joke, how could His Majesty's secret decree be in your hands."
"Come here, let me take down this false preacher."
As soon as the words fell, he threw the long knife in his hand into the air, and the long knife flew out like lightning.
"Boom..." It turned out that there was a copper gong hanging in the middle of the beam in the hall, and a long knife hit it, making a piercing muffled sound, which spread far away, and instantly everyone in the entire mansion heard the gong ring.
Obviously, the sound of the gong was the signal.
"Boom!"
As soon as the gong sounded, a man rushed in from the door, staggered, and fell to the ground as soon as he entered the door, covered in blood, which caused a lot of exclamations. outside the door.
"Xiao Wu, what's going on here?" Dou Shihai's expression had already changed drastically, because the wounded person who rushed in was the only one of the masters he raised who had broken the stage, and the others were all him. Selected and trained dead soldiers from the army.
This master, whom Dou Shihai called Little Five, looked at what Dou Shihai wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say it, he tilted his head and died.
…
It snowed during the day, although the snow on the ground of the Dou Mansion has been swept away, and tonight, the lights are brightly lit, and under the reflection of the snow on the roof and the ground, the entire Dou Mansion seems to be reflected. It's like daytime.
Dou Shihai knew Wang Junlin's ability, and was worried that Wang Junlin would find out in advance, so he didn't dare to play tricks of hiding people behind the curtain. They all hid in the yard next to the banquet hall. Others ran out of the courtyard, but apart from him, the sound of the gong was heard over there, and no one came out of the small courtyard next to it.
After a while, the gate of the small courtyard was opened from the inside. Through the gate, one could see that the courtyard was full of corpses.
Chong Yao, Chunqiu Valley Master, Chunqiu Nu, Shen Guoer, Jin Yibei and others stepped out of it in turn, followed by more than forty masters, all of whom were from the Martial Arts League and the Blue Yiwei Mansion.
Just a short time ago, a fight took place here.
First of all, Shen Guoer silently and unintentionally poisoned the wine or tea drunk by nearly a hundred masters from the Lu family and the Dou family. So simple.
In fact, even if Shen Guoer did not poison, these people would not be the opponents of the powerful lineup of Spring and Autumn Valley Master, Spring and Autumn Slave, Insect Demon, and Guoer, but Shen Guoer's face was ugly. The master of Weifu held Huang Shuren, Huang Shuren had a sad smile on his face at this time, but there was sarcasm in the smile.
