I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

After a while, Shi Hao entered the palace hall to meet the Marquis of the county.

Wusu Baoteng nodded, asked about Xiaohan Mountain City, and said some comforting words.

He said again: "Tomorrow, there will be a banquet in Hongshan in the north of the city, and several princes from the noble families in the county are also invited. You can go together then!" Ask the housekeeper to write an invitation to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao accepted the invitation, took his leave and left.After he left, Wu Subao said authentically: "Brother, do you want him to attend the Hongtong Banquet too?"

Wusu Baoteng said: "When he marries an elegant girl in the future, in terms of status, he will be your son-in-law, a member of our Wusu family. In addition, I heard people say that although Shi Hao is just a scholar, he is quite With some ability, in the past two or three years, the construction of Xiaohan Mountain City has had some miraculous effects."

"Since you have the ability to govern one party, you may not be able to become a great help for our Wusu family in the future. You can ask Ya Nu to attend the meeting tomorrow. By the way, since the young city lord of Xiaohanshan City is invited, the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce That Deng, Deng..."

The butler next to him asked, "Master Hou is talking about Deng Liang from Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce?"

Wusu Baoteng said: "It's him, you can also write an invitation card and send it to the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, they are all young people, so it's more lively."

The steward replied: "Yes!"

-

Shi Hao left the Hou Mansion holding the invitation and walked on the road.

Opening the red invitation post and looking at it, he thought in his heart: "Hongtong Banquet?"

The Red Mountain in the north of the city is a famous scenic spot in Jin County, but it has long been occupied by the Wusu Clan and built the Yougong Palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that "untouchables and dogs are not allowed to enter", but for the so-called royal family, Huaxia The people of the ethnic group are "untouchables".

He didn't expect that Wusu Baoteng would ask him to participate in the Hongtong Banquet. It seems that the barbarian court really planned to implement the "Jinxia family" decree?

When he was in the Hou's Mansion, he suppressed his internal strength and didn't want people to find out that he knew martial arts.

Walking outside at this moment, the Immortal Ice Art and Mysterious Charm Kung Fu in the body are running at the same time, and he is actually practicing even walking.

He thought in his heart: "There must be an opportunity to get rid of the relationship with the Wusu family without implicating Xiaohan Mountain City."

After returning to the residence, he took out the jade clear pearl and quietly placed it on the eaves. According to what Fairy Shengxuan and Huo Meinv had said, let it absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and took it back half an hour later.

At this moment, he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he didn't go out again. This night, he stayed in his residence.

On the second day, after calculating the time, he changed into a new suit, brought an invitation card, and went to the meeting...

Chapter 11 Hongshan Hongtong Banquet

When we came to Hongshan, in this season, Hongshan is full of red flowers all over the mountains and plains. At a glance, it seems to be dyed with red clouds, layer upon layer, which is pleasing to the eye.

Entering the palace, suddenly, someone shouted in front: "Brother Hao!"

Shi Hao looked in astonishment, only to see a young man running towards him.

Shi Hao couldn't help laughing: "Why are you here?"

This person is Deng Liang, the young leader of the Yuen Rong Chamber of Commerce.

Deng Liang rushed to Shi Hao in three steps and two steps, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, Brother Hao, I was not qualified to participate in the Hongtong Club. Sent me one too."

The Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce has done a great deal of business in the Western Shu Province. Although Deng Liang is the "minor leader", the president of the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce was elected by many wealthy merchants, not a family inheritance.

Even so, the Deng family itself is the largest wealthy businessman in the Western Shu Province, and at the same time a wealthy country gentry. As the young master of the Deng family, Deng Liang grew up with a golden key in his mouth.

The Deng family has a lot of business with Xiaohan Mountain City, and most of the silks produced in Xiaohan Mountain City are sold through the Deng family's channels.

Last year, Shi Hao helped Deng Liang with an idea in business, which made the fledgling Deng Liang a fortune, and made him famous and vigorous in the business world at a young age. The old man of the Deng family praised his son as promising.

It is precisely because of this that Deng Liang admired and was grateful to Shi Hao, and he said "brother".

Shi Hao walked with him and said in a low voice, "What exactly is this Hongtong Banquet?"

Deng Liang glanced at him in surprise: "Brother Hao, don't you know? Think about it, this Hongshan is the treasure land of the Wusu family, and the daughter of Lord Hou is called Litong. What? This is planning to choose a county consort for the princess of Hongtong County from among the princes of the royal family."

Shi Hao suddenly realized that it was probably because the people invited were all young people, so he and Deng Liang were invited.

Deng Liang laughed at himself and said: "Of course, the two of us are here to make up the numbers. Brother Hao, you must also know that the imperial court has issued a decree of 'Jinxia Family', the Yueketai family is a strong supporter of the prime minister, and the Wusu family It's a vassal of the Yueketai clan, even if it's just a show, it has to be seen by others.

"If it was changed before, we would not have the opportunity to participate in this kind of banquet."

Shi Hao nodded slightly, although he was not interested in such an "opportunity" at all.

What he wants more is to get rid of these entanglements as soon as possible, and embark on the road of cultivation with all his strength.

"Brother Hao, look at that one!" Deng Liang pointed to a young man in the distance.

Shi Hao looked, and saw that the man was quite tall and tall, wearing a short robe with arrow sleeves, and there were many servants around him.

Deng Liang said in a low voice: "That's Wuyan Kui from the Wuyan family. The Wuyan family is a hereditary family of thousands. This guy has learned martial arts since he was a child. I heard that he has already entered the rank. Speaking of which, he is already considered a master.”

Pointing to the other side, he said in a low voice: "There is another one, that is Tu Shan Xiongcai, who also has rank nine, and his father is a county magistrate, although he is much worse than the Wusu family, but he is still a Jin They are a famous family in the county. They are all here for the princess of Lirong County!"

Deng Liang pointed to the young people who came to the meeting one by one.Basically, except for Shi Hao and Deng Liang, the others are all members of the "royal family", and among the royal family, they are all young talents with certain status.

Probably because of the competitive relationship, these young people don't talk much to each other, and they don't even pay attention to Shi Hao and Deng Liang, as if it's a waste to look at them more.

Shi Hao didn't have any interest in these people either, instead he pulled Deng Liang aside and said in a low voice: "I have three relatively rare medicinal herbs, which are called Dahan Peony Fairy Bud, Shuiyue Qilian, and Lihuo Tianye. Do you know where to buy it?"

Deng Liang was dumbfounded: "What is this? Why have I never heard of this medicinal material?"

Shi Hao replied vaguely: "Actually, I don't know much about it. I just met someone who wanted to buy these three items at a high price, so I'll ask you. If you know, you might be able to make a big difference."

Deng Liang smiled and said, "Brother Hao, you are asking the wrong person. Although my family's business is big, all we do are silk brocades and the like. As for medicinal materials, Jin County has the largest and best business. It is Sichuan Jinbao Pavilion.

"Chuan Jinbao Pavilion is also in our Chamber of Commerce. Brother Hao, you can go there and ask. After entering, just report my name and say that I introduced it."

Shi Hao silently wrote down "Chuan Jinbao Pavilion", and then changed the topic.

While talking, the two saw each other from among the flowers, and saw five girls passing by on the other road.One of the girls, with an ordinary appearance, was wearing a light red skirt. When she saw Shi Hao, she immediately sullenly looked at him angrily, pulled the other four girls, and turned away.

Several other girls also looked at Shi Hao, but they were talking and laughing.

Deng Liang whispered: "Brother Hao, is that girl squinting at you?"

Shi Hao said indifferently: "Probably!"

Deng Liangdao: "Looks like it's a girl's family from the Wusu Clan, Brother Hao, have you offended her?"

Shi Hao shook his head and said, "I don't even know who she is."

Deng Liangdao: "I'll help you to ask." He actually ran over and asked the maids who shuttled back and forth.

After a while, he ran back again and said, "Brother Hao, it turns out that is your fiancée."

Shi Hao frowned tightly.

Deng Liangdao: "The girl just now is Wusuya girl, alas, it's okay if she doesn't look very good, she doesn't seem to have a good temper, Brother Hao, I'm afraid you will suffer in the future." Seeing that Shi Hao didn't answer these words again , There is no further talk, and the topic is changed.

As the head of the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce, Deng Liang naturally knew that Xiaohan Mountain had no choice in this "marriage".

After all, Shi Hao is the young lord of Xiaohan Mountain City, but the Wusu clan randomly chose a girl of about the same age to "marry" from among the clansmen. The "favor" of Shancheng, this is the most annoying thing.

After wandering around Hongshan for a while, the maid came and invited everyone to the mountainside, where there were clusters of flowers and scattered pavilions.

After waiting for a while, I saw a girl, surrounded by maids, coming out of the pavilion, obviously the county lord Wusu Litong.

Shi Hao looked and saw that the county princess was considered a beautiful woman. Although she was far from the stunning beauty of Fairy Shengxuan and Huo Meinv, her appearance was still pretty.

Due to the so-called "royal family" blood, her skeleton is slightly larger than that of ordinary Chinese girls, her forehead is higher, her eyes are slightly blue, and she seems to have practiced some family martial arts.

Seeing the appearance of the county princess, Wu Yankui, Tu Shan Xiongcai and others all surrounded him, laughing and joking, trying to please the county princess as much as possible.

Both Shi Hao and Deng Liang knew that they were just here to make ends meet, and they didn't follow these people to join in the fun.

On the other side, there were Usuya girl and some other young girls. Seeing that the princess of the county was surrounded by those rich men like stars, they all avoided her.

As for those rich sons of the Jin family, they didn't even look at Shi Hao and Deng Liang.

It's not contempt, it's not noisy, shouting why such two people can also participate in this Hongtong banquet, but completely ignoring them, as if from the beginning to the end, they didn't see such two people in the banquet.

Because it was a young people's banquet, the whole process was rather scattered.Shi Hao and Deng Liang were in the corner, drinking a few cups by themselves.

Suddenly, Shi Hao raised his head and looked at the peaks and rocks on the other side. Those peaks and rocks moved from other places to decorate the garden have different shapes and characteristics.

Deng Liang followed him and looked over together: "Brother Hao, what are you looking at?"

Shi Hao shook his head, with some doubts in his eyes.He thought in his heart: "Is it an illusion?"

At that moment just now, he sensed that there was a sharp gaze scanning the audience, and when he looked quickly, there was no one in that direction.

I don't know if it's an illusion, or if the person left in a hurry after scanning quickly, and hid himself in the peak stone to prevent himself from being seen by anyone.

Unknowingly, County Lord Litong and those wealthy sons walked in front, while Shi Hao and Deng Liang walked together with Wusu Yanu and others instead.

Wusu Yanu and the girls around her are all girls from the Wusu Clan, but their status is obviously far from that of the county lord. Obviously, they are all here to make up the numbers.

For a moment, Shi Hao walked closer to Wusu Yanu, but she turned her head and gave him a hard look: "Don't think that I have a crush on you."

Shi Hao almost asked her, you are so ordinary, why are you so confident?But after thinking about it, he didn't pay attention to her.

Avoiding Usuya girl, and walking further behind with Deng Liang, suddenly, his brows frowned again, and asked in a low voice: "Do you smell blood?"

Deng Liang looked left and right: "Blood?"

Couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Hao, what are you talking about? This is the treasure land of the Wusu family, the county master is here, and there are many wealthy sons, don't look at us as if there are no people around, in fact, there are many people in the dark Protected.

"Brother Hao, when did you become so fussy and have a rich imagination?"

Shi Hao looked up. At this moment, they were walking on a secluded path with rolling mountains on both sides, and there were many elegant pavilions on the way.

Although the so-called royal family is essentially a barbarian family, over the years, it has also incorporated a lot of Central Plains culture. These pavilions and waterside pavilions are full of poetry.

He found that they happened to be in a place of death. The landscape in front of him, because he had never been there before and didn't know the situation, he clearly saw a cliff behind the towering cornices.

The sides are steep and sinister, and the cascading red flowers sway like blood.

"Brother Hao," Deng Liang's voice also became a little strange, "It really smells like blood, could it be that the chickens are being slaughtered ahead..."

In the eyes of Shi Hao, who turned his head and looked up, the flowers unfolded like fireworks, and many figures jumped out of the scattered flowers, drawing out their shining weapons.

The billowing blade light rolled down.In the team, young warriors like Wu Yankui and Tu Shan Xiongcai came to their senses and shouted, "Who are you?"

The blade light was involved in the crowd, blood splashed, and there was a bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, accompanied by screams and cries.

"Let's go!" Shi Hao grabbed Deng Liang and turned to retreat.But there was a strong wind blowing from behind, and a cold light whizzed towards them.

Really ignoring the exposure of his own strength, Shi Hao grabbed it casually, and a branch around him broke off and flew into his hand. The sword's momentum rolled, and the sword's shadow exploded.

There were two people rushing forward, both of them were wearing black clothes and black scarves covering their faces.With one knife and one sword, the energy swirled.

Take Shi Hao with the sword and stab Deng Liang with the sword, trying to cut them down together.

Suddenly, the two masked warriors saw a flash of sword light in front of them, and brilliant ice flowers burst out, piercing their eyes, causing them to subconsciously stop and step back.

At such a moment, their wrists all ached, and the knife and sword fell at the same time, hitting the cobblestones with a bang.

"Be careful, there are good players!" The two who retreated quickly exclaimed, and behind them, more people rushed up.

"Get behind me!" Shi Hao shouted.

He said this to Deng Liang, but Usuya and the others subconsciously hid behind him.

The two black-clothed warriors who were retreating saw that what the young man was holding was actually a thin branch, and the branch trembled like ice and snow.

In the cold air, amidst the chi chi chi chi sound, each of their companions who rushed forward had "swords" in their wrists.

"Damn, Brother Hao, you're hiding everything!" Deng Liang exclaimed in surprise and joy, "You lied to me before that you were just a scholar!"

Shi Hao's sword exploded, and it turned out that one man was in charge, blocking all the masked men rushing.

Taking the time to turn back quickly, the other end was in chaos.

There are quite a few enemies ambushing on both sides.If Shi Hao hadn't been in charge alone, most of the people would have been killed at this moment.

Even so, many people have fallen in a pool of blood.These masked men were so vicious that none of them were left behind.

Wu Yankui and Tu Dan Xiongcai are worthy of being the masters of the "royal family" young people. Although most of the other wealthy children are full of wine and food, the two of them brought the guards around them and barely blocked the wave of shock.

To Shi Hao's surprise, County Lord Litong unleashed a soft sword, and swiped it with a soft sword, which was actually about the same strength as Wu Yankui and Tu Shan Xiongcai.

In other words, she is also the foundation of the Ninth Rank.

Although Shi Hao could tell that she had practiced martial arts to some extent, although she had a tall frame and delicate skin, she didn't look like she had practiced martial arts all year round.

Looking at it now, I saw that her sword energy was diverging, and her true energy faintly overflowed, which was actually the authentic Taoist inner strength.

Only those who cultivate the inner alchemy of Taoism can hardly easily see their cultivation base from the outside.

Of course, although he has the foundation of the ninth rank, Litong county lord obviously seldom confronts the enemy, and soon becomes flustered.

"The lackeys of the barbarian court, die!" Seeing that he could not break through Shi Hao's blockade of sword shadows, a black-clothed martial artist took the stance of killing each other, reckless, and chopped off Shi Hao's head with one blow.
