How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

When Li Xin and Shen Lian rode into the capital, it was already three o'clock in the morning and the sky was completely dark.

Although there is a curfew, the Guanshan Taibao cannot be controlled.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Taikang Bo's Mansion, Shen Lian, who was following him, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Do you have to go? Sir, I heard... Wei Zhongxian and King Xin are also there. Why does it feel like a Hongmen Banquet?"

Ok?

Li Xin reined in his horse slightly, switched from galloping to walking, turned around and smiled.

"Hongmen Banquet? Shen Lian, who do you think is Xiang Yu, who is Liu Bang, who is Xiang Zhuang, and who is Fan Kuai?"

"Um...this..."

Shen Lian couldn't answer for a while.

Let's just say you are Liu Bang. You have no intention of rebellion.

Otherwise, how could we have waited until now if we had started plotting in Huangling Town several years ago?

Let's say Wei Zhongxian and King Xin are Xiang Yu. One is an eunuch and the other is a bad person. No one can say that the other is bad. Naturally, they cannot be called Xiang Yu.

Brother, I really want to be Fan Kuai, but I don’t know if I have the ability.

In fact, the only thing that worries Shen Lian is that he doesn't know who Xiang Zhuang is.

Could it be Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji?

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Taikang Bo's mansion, Shen Lian was in a state of confusion.

Li Xin no longer considered this problem.

After all, even if Zhu Youjian is Xiang Yu, it is impossible for him to extend an olive branch to him at this time.

As for Wei Zhongxian?

Brother Wei is already like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump around for more than a few days.

Why did Zhang Guoji suddenly call him to the night banquet? Maybe it was because of...

Li Xin shook his head, his eyes flashed with sadness, but he mentioned another thing.

"By the way, Shen Lian, it's been more than a year. How is Mr. Xu doing? Has he arrived in Maoshan? Has he seen Shu Benzhu again?"

Shu Benzhu is the abbot of the Maoshan branch of the Quanzhen sect, and he may hold the mineral that can restrain the [First Generation]. This is something Li Xin has always been worried about.

When Shen Lian saw him mentioning this matter, he had no choice but to answer.

"Two days ago, Mr. Xu just asked someone to send a letter back, saying that after arriving at Maoshan, he found that Shu Benzhu had gone to Yunyou. He did not dare to delay and set off immediately."

"At this moment, one is chasing and the other is chasing. I don't know when we will meet each other."

Hearing this, Li Xin felt a little irritated.

Because he had a vague feeling.

I don't have much time.

For a year, there was no gain from studying the [Escape Cabin].

I originally placed my hopes on Xu Xiake, but there was no good news from there.

As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day.

If Zhu Youxiao dies tomorrow, Zhu Youjian will immediately ascend the throne as emperor.

If Zhu Youjian becomes emperor...

Li Xin was still thinking, but found that Taikang Bo's mansion had arrived, and the lights were brightly lit in front of him.

Apparently, the news had already reached the residence. Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji himself was standing at the door.

"Ouch! Taibao Feng, Mr. Feng...quickly, quick...please get off your horse!"

Zhang Guoji's face was red, he had obviously drunk, and he hurriedly greeted Li Xin.

Li Xin turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to the servants in the mansion, and looked at the person in front of him with emotion.

Seven or eight years later, Zhang Guoji, the former innkeeper, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The other party no longer had the reserved look of a villager, but instead had a radiant face, not a very good complexion, and a much bloated figure.

Obviously, he has lived a very happy life during these years as an earl.

"Uncle Tai Kang, I heard that the birthday banquet came in a hurry, and small gifts are not respectful."

Li Xin asked Shen Lian to hand over the gift, and then said: "I wish Taikang Bo to live as long as the immortal pine in Nanshan, and to be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea."

After saying some auspicious words, Zhang Guoji smiled broadly.

"Hahaha, thank you...Thank you Feng Taibao for your kind words."

After the two sides held hands, Li Xin twitched the corners of his mouth.

The person in front of me is already fifty, and how old am I?

Since my appearance in 1581, I have stayed in the Ming Dynasty for forty-six years.

Plus the decades of rushing time before time travel.

Unknowingly, it was about to break 100.

A centenarian wants to live his life for a fifty-year-old child.

It's a bit ridiculous.

Li Xinxin smiled and said to Zhang Guoji: "Uncle Taikang, how can you be so virtuous when you confer someone a title, and then let you greet you at the door! What a sin, a sin..."

He bowed to Zhang Guoji again, because according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the earl had a super-grade title, and even a first-grade prince and Taibao must bow to the father-in-law.

But everyone knows that Count Zhang Guoji has no real power and is just waiting to die.

Moreover, according to the old system, the head of the country must be granted the title of marquis. Who would have thought that Zhang Guoji, who was a generation below him, was only an earl.

I'm afraid it's because of his low background.

So Zhang Guoji didn't have any idea and quickly pulled Li Xin up.

"Oh, Taibao Feng... I'd better call you Mr. Feng. You are a popular person around Long Live Master. How dare I accept your courtesy? Come on, let's talk after we go in. Let's talk after we go in."

With that said, he was about to drag Li Xin into the mansion.

Li Xin followed with a smile, and Shen Lian behind him also wanted to accompany him. Unexpectedly, he was stopped as soon as he took two steps.

A member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu stood at the door with a cold look on his face.

"No one is allowed to enter the birthday banquet of the father-in-law of the country!"

Ok?

Shen Lian suddenly became angry.

I rely on.

Idle people waiting?

Who!

me?

I just took off my Feiyu suit for a year, and now I have become an idler and can’t even enter?

He still wanted to protect Li Xin personally, which was simply unreasonable.

When Li Xin saw this, he also frowned and looked at Zhang Guoji.

Brother, why do you want Jin Yiwei to guard the door of your home? What are you doing?

Zhang Guoji's plump face was originally blushing after drinking, but when he saw Shen Lian being stopped, his face became even more rosy.

"Um...Mr. Feng, this is a nine-thousand-year-old oral instruction. Today, at my birthday banquet, only those with official status can enter, and they must be at least third-grade or above, so...hehe, haha, this..."

Zhang Guoji is extremely embarrassed.

He was also filled with anger.

When I celebrate my birthday, why did Wei Zhongxian send a group of hawks and dogs to guard the door?

Who can enter and who cannot enter must report it to Wei Gou.

But he didn't dare to resist at all, let alone show his dissatisfaction.

"Oh? It turns out Jiu Qian is here, haha, then I will know."

Li Xin waved his hand to Shen Lian and told him to guard at the door.

Shen Lian's face darkened, and he felt more and more that something was really going to happen today?

But he had no choice but to turn around and walk to the door of the mansion, thinking that if a fight really broke out, he would try his best to go in for rescue.

Anyway, Shen’s life is just like this.

Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, there were suddenly a few more people around him.

Shen Lian's eyes narrowed and he realized that the leader was actually the personal guard who had been with Zhu Youjian.

What does the other party seem to be called...

Ding Xiu?

Ding Xiu leaned against a big tree, holding the long Miao knife in his arms, looking at himself with a half-smile.

Beside him, there were two men and one woman standing.

A man was holding a mace with a stern look on his face.

A man is holding two swords, he is young and energetic.

There is also a girl holding a sword in her left hand and a shield in her right hand. She seems to be a rattan soldier under Qi Jiguang.

The four of them actually stood in a formation similar to a mandarin duck formation, faintly surrounding themselves.

Shen Lian's heart sank.

Could it be that these people are Xiang Zhuang from the Hongmen Banquet?
