……

Xu Ping and Lu Ye chatted on the table for a while, and the dishes were also served. They were all some very delicate dishes to go with wine. The wine was the famous Qiulubai in Huaizuo.

Both of them have straightforward personalities. After drinking a few glasses, they immediately became acquainted and spoke more intimately.

Xu Ping drank a glass of wine in one gulp, looking like he was drinking and celebrating with the orderly brothers.

Thinking of the Sequencer brothers, Xu Ping was a little worried. He wondered if their affairs were going well during his absence?

With a bitter expression on his face, he said, "Lu Ye, according to what you say, isn't it that Qingyu Mountain is now full of people from Tianzhun Palace? Then you and I had better not go, lest we be bullied so that we don't even dare to breathe." out."

Lu Ye laughed dryly and said, "You're thinking wrong. No matter how bad Qingyu Mountain is, it is also the ancestral home of Taoism. How can it be so easy to be emptied? As far as I know, of the nine peaks of Qingyu, only four peaks are held by Tianzhun Palace." This is what Tianzhun Palace spent hundreds of years to achieve."

Lu Ye picked up a piece of pickled bamboo shoots, smashed it on his mouth, and continued, "The cancellation of the selection of disciples this year was also an accident. At the beginning of the year, the battle between Daning and the Beiju Demons was tense. Your Majesty asked the head of Qingyu Mountain Go to press the battle. After the leader left, the most influential person on Qingyu Mountain was the leader of Pingde Peak, so he took the opportunity to cancel this year's general election." Lu Ye shook his head and continued, "That's why I was rushed by my father. Arrange to go to Lantau Island."

Just as Xu Ping was about to say something, there was a burst of clapping from the front of the hall, and the hall quickly fell silent.Xu Ping turned his head and saw that it was Wu Xi who stood up.

Wu Xi stood in front of the table with a smile on his face, and said in a kind tone, "I am here today because I was invited by Mr. Sun to communicate with all the new disciples from Qingyu Mountain."

"You are all talents in my Daning. It is also a blessing for you to go to Qingyu Mountain to practice. I hope that you can practice well in Qingyu Mountain and contribute to my Daning in the future."

Wu Xi spoke brightly on the scene, but everyone in the hall understood it, and only responded with a few sparse laughter.

Wu Xi didn't care, and the smile on his face didn't change, and he continued, "I've met everyone these few days, and they are all familiar." ah."

Everyone looked left and right, and finally they all looked at Xu Ping who was sitting outside.Xu Ping was taken aback for a moment, and found that he was the only one holding the knife, touched his nose, got up and said, "Xu Ping, from Longxi, is a disciple recommended by the Ministry of War."

Wu Xi looked at Xu Ping, his eyes gradually turned cold, and said, "I was an officer and soldier of Daning before?"

"Yes."

Chief Wu sighed, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly said angrily, "Then why don't you kneel down when you see me!"

Xu Ping narrowed his eyes, not panicked, knowing that Tianzhun Palace was going to take an outsider like himself, before he could say anything, Lu Ye stood up beside him and said loudly, "Master Wu, what do you mean by this?" ?”

Wu Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, Nanxi City should not get involved in our Daning matter."

This sentence hinted at something, and Lu Ye was even angrier. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Ping's hand.

Xu Ping stared at Wu Xi and said, "Master Sun, as far as I know, practitioners don't need to salute officials. This is recorded in the Law of the Great Ning."

Wu Xi shook his head, and said, "You are not considered a disciple of Qingyu Mountain, of course you have to salute to me." Wu Xi slowed down his tone, and said, "Of course, if Mr. Xu leaves Songshui Building now, I will pretend that I have not seen you Thank you, come to my official residence tomorrow, and I will entertain you."

At this moment, it was time to see, and the meaning of Wu Xi's words was very clear. If Xu Ping gave up on going to Qingyu Mountain, he would give something in return, otherwise, it would be a toast instead of fine wine!

Xu Ping had already understood what Wu Xi was implying, but although he liked to drink, he didn't really want to eat the toast and fine wine.

......

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall had cooled down. Everyone looked at Xu Ping coldly, gloating at everyone's misfortune. Xu Ping looked around and found that apart from Lu Ye who was looking at him anxiously, he seemed to have fallen into a trap. A situation of isolation and helplessness.

Wu Xi looked at Xu Ping with a smile on his face, he had already expressed his meaning very clearly, this young man from Longxi should know how to choose. "Master Xu, do you want to kneel down to the official, or come to the official's house tomorrow as a guest?"

Xu Ping sighed, "I don't really want to choose either."

The smile on Wu Xi's face disappeared in an instant, and he said sharply, "Are you going to toast or not to eat fine wine!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "I've never had fine wine, but I can taste what it tastes like."

Hearing Xu Ping's words, Wu Xi smiled angrily, pointed at Xu Ping, and said ferociously, "Okay, you're fine! Today I'll let you, an ignorant soldier, know what the rules are!"

Xu Ping made him lose face, but Wu Xi had nothing to do at this time, so he could only lower his body and say to Sun Xi who was beside him, "Mr. Sun, what should I do if this person doesn't take soft and hard things?"

Sun Xi was also burning with anger at this time. Xu Ping's loss of face for Wu Xi was equivalent to loss of face for him, Sun Xi. He was naturally extremely angry when he was contradicted by a frontier pawn.Sun Xi motioned to the person at the bottom of the table, and said with stern eyes, "Jiang Pei, do this person."

Jiang Pei was in his thirties, a cultivator at the Quenching Yuan Realm, and was sent by Sun Xi's family to be his bodyguard. He was the person with the highest cultivation in this hall.Jiang Pei nodded expressionlessly, got up and walked towards Xu Ping.

"Brother Xu, why don't we go first and argue with them in the future."

Seeing Jiang Pei approaching with a vicious look on his face, Xu Ping didn't care. He patted Lu Ye on the shoulder to signal that he didn't have to worry, and drank up the wine in his glass.

Everyone in the hall was a little excited. They all knew that Jiang Pei was already at the Yuan Quenching Realm, and Xu Ping was just an ordinary person who hadn't completed his Taoism. Looking at Xu Ping, he already regarded him as a dead person.

Jiang Pei walked up to Xu Ping and said coldly, "Kneel down or get out."

Xu Pinghun smiled generously and said, "Master, I don't want to kneel, and I don't want to roll."

Jiang Pei shook his head, activated his skills, and the true energy in his body rushed to his fist, "Then you go to die!" After saying that, he punched out!

This punch was so powerful that everyone felt that there was a sudden gust of wind in the room, and it hit Xu Ping fiercely, and the milky white real essence could be faintly seen in the punch wind.The fist hit Xu Ping's temple, it seemed that Xu Ping had nowhere to hide.

A flash of white light flashed, and Jiang Pei's fist stopped an inch away from Xu Ping's temple, and did not move forward at all, as if it was stiff.

Xu Ping withdrew the knife in his hand.

No one saw clearly when Xu Ping pulled out the knife.

Jiang Pei fell heavily on the ground, his body was separated, a mist of blood spewed out from his neck, and his head rolled around on the ground a few times, stained with blood.

Everything happened too fast, everyone came back to their senses, and the picture finally started to work.

The scene where everyone thought Xu Ping was killed on the spot didn't happen. Xu Ping just did what he was most familiar with in the past ten years—strike out a knife, and then kill people.

In the whole hall, water was about to drip out, and the smell of blood mixed with the murderous aura emanating from Xu Ping's body filled everyone with fear, and the cups shattered on the floor.

"You... how dare you kill him!" Wu Xi's voice trembled, his legs were already a little unsteady.He had been in the officialdom for many years, and he did many nasty things. This was the first time he saw such a bloody scene, and he almost passed out.

"Oh? Why didn't I dare to kill him?" Xu Ping pulled off the tablecloth and carefully wiped the blood from the knife edge, as if he didn't care.

Wu Xi yelled loudly, but he didn't dare to look directly at Xu Ping. "You are a capital crime!"

Xu Ping shook his head, and said, "Master Wu was joking, where did the death penalty come from?"

Xu Ping is not a reckless person, he will definitely think about the consequences before doing things, and will not put himself in danger.

"If you commit murder, it's not a capital crime, but what crime is it!"

"That's wrong." Xu Ping tore off his badge and threw it over.

Seeing something flying in the air, Wu Xi hurriedly reached out to catch it, took a look in front of his eyes, and saw a few gilt characters on the waist card "Commander of the Ministry of War".Wu Xi looked at these words and felt dizzy for a while, unable to speak.

Xu Ping neatly inserted the cleaned knife back into the scabbard, and said leisurely, "This person has offended me, and if he kills me, he will be killed. If your lord insists on impeaching me, then please do so. I think it's just a penalty. .”

"It's just that it might be inappropriate for you to appear at this banquet as the inspector of Huaizuo." Xu Ping shook his head, "The officials can't say anything, but I want to control the Crane Mansion, and I don't mind sending you to the capital. "

Wu Xi's face was pale, and cold sweat flowed down like a waterfall.Although he wanted to vote for Lunan, but now he is still an official in Daning. If the accused Hefu knows that he has a close relationship with the son of the governor of Lunan, then it is not a matter of future, but a loss of wealth and life!

"Master Xu...everything is easy to talk about."

Xu Ping squeezed out the word "Get lost."

Wu Xie was pardoned, bowed deeply to Xu Ping, glanced at Sun Xi beside him, and left the room like a bereaved dog without saying a word.
