After the Liu Clan's doorman, Xiao Qi, received the praise of Second Elder, he was transferred to the kitchen, which was a rather oily place.
The Liu family was not like the City Lord's Mansion. Ever since the Second Master came back, the Old Master had ordered his men to organize it, and it was a shocking sight to behold.
The master of the Liu family, also known as the lord, was still busy dealing with the business of a cloth shop in the city. When he heard that the second master had returned, he rushed back home, holding his second brother and crying loudly, recounting the grievances he had suffered in the past few years.
"Second Brother, the year you left, your nephew was only so young. He originally wanted to wait for you to return so that you could properly discipline him, but now … I only have this one son. Back then, he was so young, so cute, and he loved to stick to you … Second brother, our Liu family must bear this grudge … You'll help me, won't you! "
Then he just shook the Second Master's arm and looked at him pitifully.
The Second Master looked at the pitiful eldest brother and could only comfort him, "Big Brother, don't worry. The reason I came down the mountain this time is to deal with my nephew's matter. I will definitely ask someone to capture the criminal in front of the mourning hall and have him apologize with his death."
After saying that, he gently crushed the ironwood pearl beside him that was as firm as a rock.
When the boss saw this scene, he immediately felt more at ease. This Iron Pear Wood Orb was not something that could be crushed so easily. According to the merchant who sold it previously, it had to be at the peak of the second rate.
"Second brother, this criminal is fearless. The most important thing is that the person behind him is not an easy person to deal with. If it was easy to deal with, my dad wouldn't have told you to go down the mountain."
"That's weird. This criminal is an ordinary beggar. I don't know what kind of luck he had to be taken in as his foster son by 'Li Wu Zai'. It's like the wind in the city is blowing, or the rain is falling."
"Not to mention, a few days ago, they sent troops to the City Guards' field officer, the Qin family. Right now, the Second Young Master of the Qin family resides in jail. Our Liu Family and the Qin Family's strength are similar. If it wasn't for you coming back, second brother, we could only grit our teeth and swallow this grudge deep in our stomachs. "
The Second Master made some calculations with his eyes closed and found Li Jun killing a ball of misty mist behind her. It was impossible to predict, so he forcefully suppressed the blood energy rushing down his throat and recited the Green Mountain Temple's internal energy technique to reverse the flow of Yin and Yang. After a while, his expression returned to normal.
"Eldest brother, this thief has a long history and should not be underestimated. I have to think carefully and find a method to achieve the two of them."
Looking at the second brother's pale face, the eldest couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this little thief has the protection of the gods? Even counting lives is forbidden.
"Oh, good, good. Second brother, take a good rest. I'll go and make the arrangements for today's banquet. Father said that the banquet will be prepared for you."
Second Master wanted to refuse, but when he thought of his father's temperament, he could only nod helplessly.
If it was the City Lord's Mansion, then things would be a little tricky. Not to mention that this City Lord is a commander-in-chief, just in terms of strength, I am slightly weaker than him. Not to mention that there are a few hidden servants in the mansion that are not inferior to me.
It seems that I have to send a letter to Master requesting him to send some of his fellow apprentices to help me with my punches.
He then spread out the Xuan paper on the table and tore off a corner. He quickly wrote on it with a brush. After he finished, he whistled and a grey shadow fell by the window. It was the messenger pigeon.
The Daoist priest rolled up the corner and placed it in the letter barrel at the pigeon's feet. With a long whistle, the pigeon leaped up and flew towards the Green Mountain Temple.
Looking at the flying pigeon, the Daoist Priest heaved a sigh of relief.
And because his heart was beating differently than usual, he sat cross-legged on the bed and hugged Yin and Yang.
He chanted silently, "For daily users, the diet is set, no one is allowed to sit alone, do not start a thought." Everything is forgotten, the mind is fixed, the mouth and lips are stuck, the teeth are connected, the eyes are blind, the ears are deaf, the heart is on guard, the breathing is continuous. Slight but indistinct, do not interrupt. " Before long, the natural heart fire drops, kidney water rises, the mouth is born of swill.
"..."
He then talked about the servant Xiao Qi, who had been transferred to the kitchen as a caretaker. She seemed to have picked up the spring breeze as the word "complacent" was written all over her face.
At first, he felt that the table was not in the right place, so he ordered someone to move the table; then he felt that the food was not fresh enough, so he sent someone to buy some more.
As for the vegetables and fruits that were not fresh enough, he secretly stuffed them into his pocket.
However, he did not dare to overdo it. After all, the banquet tonight was for Second Master. As the second master who had indirectly helped him, he naturally did his best when it came to work.
"..."
Because time was of the essence, the Old Master of the Liu Family ordered his old servant to send people to deliver the invitation letters to the large and small forces nearby. For the families that were of similar strength to his, he sent the Liu Family directly to them.
At the same time, in a remote room of the Whistling Wind Tower, a few strangers received a personal invitation from the head of the Liu family. The words on the invitation were different from the ones that had been sent to other families.
"Boss, are we going to participate in this banquet? After all, they gave us quite a bit of information. "
"What help? I just wanted to use our hands to report the loss of my son …" It's fine to go, but the time is not ripe yet. "
"That person in the manor is no pushover. We still have the heavy responsibility given to us by His Majesty. We can't let his guard down. We won't go, but we must send our regards."
"After all, the Liu Clan is the boss of Whistling Wind City. We still need their help. You arrange for the servants to prepare a gift and deliver it to the Liu Estate.
"Yes, boss. I will arrange it right away."
"..."
All the large and small families in the city received the invitation, but they did not invite the mayor's residence.
Rumors had it that the eldest son of the Liu Clan had been killed outside the city by Young City Lord Li Jin. The cause of this death was a woman.
Many people were discussing in private.
"This little beggar is really lawless. He really thinks that he is a phoenix that can look down on others. Sooner or later, the Mayor's mansion will be destroyed by him." Someone said.
Another family's Patriarch was trembling. "Give the order for all the hedonistic sons of the mansion to restrain themselves from now on. If they provoke someone they shouldn't have, even the deities wouldn't be able to save them."
"..."
A haggard looking man was supported by a servant as he slowly walked towards the inner hall. Just as he was about to step into the inner hall, he saw a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground and praying with his back towards the door.
The middle-aged man seemed to have heard the commotion as he bowed three times towards the memorial tablet. He placed the incense in his hand into the incense burner respectfully and turned around to see his skinny son.
He forced himself to hold back the tears in his eyes. "It's my birthday. You've suffered a lot these past few days."
"Father, I have understood a lot of things after staying in prison for so many days."
