Chapter 245 102 Banquet Begins

Chapter 245 102. The banquet begins

This night was a sleepless night for many people, but Li Aoz slept comfortably, recuperating and making all preparations.

He has already finalized his doctrine, and if the plan fails, he will immediately overturn the table. Anyway, he has the handle of Tianhuan in his hand, and he is a citizen of the Red Arrow, so he is not afraid of hard tactics.

The reaction of the narrow mirror is more surprising. This straightforward and highly aggressive terrorist has not shown any signs of attack until now, and has been dormant very cautiously, which has saved Li Aoz a lot of trouble.

"Now, let's enjoy this carnival."

The Kowloon party opened, and the density of people in Qiong'anjing doubled. Li Aoz was invited to avoid traveling during peak hours, and a special car invited him to the main venue of the banquet-Kowloon Temple.

Passing through the Torii gate and the mountain road with countless white lanterns flying, Li Aoz stepped into the square under the guidance of two monks. It should be said that it is not easy to see such an ancient temple in this era. The senior leaders of Tianhuan and the abbot of the temple are giving speeches on the stage, and then they will perform the sacrificial ceremony under the guidance of the witch and the great Yin Yang Master.

The whole process was mysterious and Li Aoz was not interested. He symbolically listened to the speech for a while, but in fact his eyes swept through the crowd and clearly noticed the faces of several frost-plated people.

The other party looked serious and rigid, and all the people traveling were men. Basically, it can be ruled out that they are officials and wealthy people of frost-plated - that is, the spies of Rule Three.

Li Aoz has the [Eye of Truth], and he took the time to take a look. As expected, these frost-plated people are [Rule Three Extra-staff Agents].

"It seems that the frost-plated people are going to make trouble."

Li Aoz noticed that these people frequently came together with some Tianhuan strongmen, communicating something, and occasionally turned their eyes to him. He couldn't help but sneer: It's come to this point, and you still want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

Frost Du was not doing well on the front line of Gulante, and was humiliated by Li Aozi. He must have been unable to hold back and wanted to get rid of him - but using such a mediocre method to incite the strong to deal with him, that was a bit too much.

Li Aozi was too lazy to pay attention to this group of people. On second thought, these people might not be useless.

"Maybe, it can be like this..."

He turned around and stepped directly into the exhibition venue to appreciate the weapons and blades made by various skilled craftsmen of Tianhuan in this year.

This is the way for Kowloon Gathering to increase foreign exchange income - Tianhuan's weapons are world-renowned, especially cold weapons and swords. Whether it is collection value or being used by individual strong men, without exception, they are the first choice.

In this kind of international event, it is not only about orders for weapons, but also a good opportunity for craftsmen to show themselves. Many unknown knife makers can even become famous overnight and achieve class leap because their works are favored by others. There are also many people who deliberately create some gorgeous and worthless weapons just to show off their skills and superb skills.

Of course, such occasions naturally cannot be set up as a street stall for people to play with. All weapons have complex genetic code locks. If you like them, you must communicate with the craftsmen to confirm before you can open them for trial.

Of course, such a strict screening method is somewhat unfriendly to most buyers and spectators. There are also some opportunists who take shortcuts and sell inferior products as good ones. No one wants to spend a lot of energy and finally buy weapons that are only flashy. Therefore, the organizers of the Kowloon gathering often assume that the two parties have reached a consensus and give a relatively objective evaluation price for a one-time deal.

Risks are borne by oneself, which is also the fun of this shopping.

Many spectators and buyers carefully identified the items in various ways. Those who came to the party were obviously from good families and had some identification methods and instruments.

However, even so, Li Aoz opened the [Eye of Truth] and scanned the circle. Among the ten people, at least five bought too high a price, and one bought a fake product.

For this kind of treasure appraisal and shopping, [Eye of Truth] is like a cheat. The quality attributes of the goods are directly placed in front of you, and you can even tell whether it is genuine by just scanning the name.

[It saves a lot of effort - if the players have the opportunity to participate in this party, they will probably thank me to death. ]

Li Aoz pretended to visit some booths. There was a frost-plated spy secretly following him behind him. Li Aoz didn't care. From time to time, he picked up the weapon to try it out and communicated with some craftsmen.

However, soon, the effect of the frost-plated people's sarcastic remarks behind his back was revealed.

Li Aoz put down a wakizashi, shook his head, and said to the craftsman:

"This weapon is not suitable for my fighting style, and it is too short. But the workmanship is still very exquisite. I hope you can find a suitable buyer."

There is nothing wrong with what he said in itself, and before he finished speaking, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Oh, the Red Arrows are very knowledgeable. The wakizashi is a short sword-shaped weapon, but you think it is too short."

Li Aoz glanced behind him and saw a burly man with his arms crossed walking towards him like a dragon and a tiger. He did not hide his Beta-level aura. He was wearing a wide samurai robe and was obviously a warrior of the Dragon School. There was a venomous snake tattooed on his neck.

He walked over leisurely, snatched the wakizashi from the craftsman, weighed it in his hand, and waved it twice, with a stern sound of breaking through the air, and nodded:

"What? Isn't this pretty good? Blowing hair and breaking hair is no problem."

As he spoke, he held his wakizashi in his hand, looked at Li Aozi narrowly, and changed the subject:

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it - we, Tianhuan, are just a small country. We are inevitably short of supplies. We have never seen the world. How can we compare with the masters of the empire?"

The passers-by around seemed to know this warrior and started whispering:

"Hey, isn't that the retainer of the Hojo family - Yanaemon Shinsuke?"

"The Red Arrows are in bad luck. How did they get into trouble with this mad dog?"

"Ranaemon Yanagi's master was defeated by Red Arrow's swordsman. He couldn't bear the humiliation and committed seppuku. Now this guy is an anti-Red Arrow demon."

The whispers from the surrounding guests and the attitude of watching a good show surprised Li Aozi - he did not expect to encounter such a thing again.

[Rule 3: How come you are so lucky to provoke such a person? 】

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. Zhe Sangan is a professional at provoking Gonghuo. I guess they have come into contact with a lot of similar people.

The craftsman was suppressed by the warrior's momentum and was submissive. He did not dare to express his position at all. He looked helplessly at Li Ozi, hoping that he could say something.

Li Aozi glanced at the warrior and didn't want to pay attention to him at all. He turned around and was about to leave. However, the samurai turned sideways and deliberately stopped in front of Li Aozi.

"In such a hurry to leave? Are you so disdainful of our Tianhuan things?"

Liu Weimen's words were all teasing. It was clear that he was here to cause trouble, so there was no need to follow his wishes.

——But after hearing these words, Li Ozi felt unhappy.

Li Ozi's eyes slowly lit up with a golden halo, and just as he was about to push this stupid idiot to the ground, another scolding sound came from not far away:

"Hey! Liu Weimen, do you want to embarrass yourself internationally?!"

While he was talking, a high-spirited man in military uniform walked over with his hands in his pockets and an unkind expression. He stared at Liu Weimen and said coldly:

"This is a Kowloon gathering, a sacred ceremony, where guests from all over the world gather. Do you want the people of Tianhuan to be ridiculed?"

"Oh? This isn't Kim Tae-hyun from our Capital Security Bureau, Young General Kim."

Liu Weimen did not back down at all just because the other party was a senior military officer. He reminded him with a playful smile:

"Your duty is to protect Prime Minister Park's life and safety, not to protect the dignity of Tianhuan people - on the contrary, only warriors can maintain the dignity of Tianhuan people."

Ryuemon Shinsuke is a retainer of the clan. In terms of class nature, he is much higher than a pure soldier like Kim Tae-hyun. Especially Kim Tae-hyun is just a dog that blocks bullets for the prime minister. According to the default rules, he You also need to say honorifics to yourself.

Kim Tae Hyun looked unkind. He originally wanted to mediate this meaningless farce, but instead he was ridiculed and humiliated, and his face immediately turned blue with anger.

He pointed at the other party and yelled: "Can't you tell who is making such nonsense? Don't think that relying on Mr. Hojo Tokitaka's favor, you can walk sideways. This is Qiong Anjing! It's not your turn. act wildly!"

"Oh, I'm curious, is it my turn, or is it the turn of retainers like 'us'?"

Liu Weimen's new assistant spread his hands and immediately started arguing with Kim Tae Hyun.

The conflict between the new military faction and the clan faction has been accumulating for a long time. The former, relying on the promotion of status brought by the Kowloon gathering, has become a little arrogant and has forgotten the fact that this country is controlled by clan groups.

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to stir up trouble with foreigners, why would I have come to stop your stupid behavior."

Kim Tae-hyun responded tit-for-tat. He pointed at Li Ozi beside him:

"Everyone has seen that this foreign friend just picked up his weapon and made some comments, but was blocked in front of him by this idiot Liu Weiman and refused to leave - what do you want? Put us on the international stage. , becomes an unreasonable and barbaric image?”

"Only a coward would care about other people's opinions." Liu Weimen didn't care: "What's more, the guy next to you is from the Red Arrow Empire, what? Are you protecting the enemies of Tianhuan Kingdom?"

"I don't care what personal grudges you have, this is an international event!"

"Okay, since I disturbed the order, you came to arrest me, take me away, and put me in prison - what? Young General Jin, why don't you dare to do anything?"

Liu Weimen laughed endlessly. He saw Kim Tae-hyun's weak nature and concluded that this guy was incapable of capturing Hojo's retainers.

The country would not dare to break up with the Hojo family no matter what. Rather, the entire Tianhuan seemed to be armed with the Hojo family. Whenever something went wrong with the Hojo family, the entire country would be in turmoil.

Because of this, the retainer samurai of the Hojo family are almost confident and do whatever they want in the country.

Even if Liu Weimen really made some mistake, Kim Taehyun would not dare to arrest him.

Yanaemon made no secret of his aura of peak Beta level strength, which added to his persuasiveness.

Tianhuan is a place where strength is respected. In many cases, strength is a privilege, especially for someone like him who has the dual identity of a Beta-level elite + a retainer of the Hojo family. In terms of personal strength and power, he belongs to the echelon that "cannot be messed with".

Kim Tae Hyun suppressed his blush. If he really dared to catch Liu Weimen, the opponent would find his way back sooner or later. He didn't even need the Hojo family behind him to take action. The top Beta level warriors would be enough to make him never sleep well in the future. Go to sleep.

Let alone arresting people, even if he was really good at beating people, he wouldn't dare to do it in such a situation. What a serious impact it would have.

Seeing that this man was deflated, Li Aozi simply put his hands in his pockets and looked ahead expressionlessly without any reaction.

This was an internal power struggle among the Tianhuan people, and he didn't want to intervene. However, Yanagimon humiliated Kim Tae-hyun, but he was not satisfied. He came to Li Aozi and hooked his hand provocatively.

"Hey, Imperial man." Yanagimon pointed at Li Aozi, and then pointed at the exhibition in the distance:

"I know you are not convinced, but I, Yanagimon Shinsuke, also want to save face. Today is the Kowloon gathering, and we can't see blood - how about making a bet with me?"

"Not interested."

"Don't rush to refuse." Yanagimon said sarcastically: "It seems that our country invited you to be a guest, and you are so perfunctory."

Li Aozi raised his eyebrows:

"It's none of your business."

"I see that you are beautiful, and you must be from a noble family - there are countless treasures at this Kowloon gathering, but everything has its own highs and lows, and there are also differences between treasures."

Yagimon glanced at Li Aozi and muttered to himself: This guy is a handsome beauty.

But, who made you a Red Arrow?

He spread his hands and suggested:

"Let's find 10 treasures each and go to the jury to count the final value. If you have better eyesight, I will admit that you did not humiliate the knife maker of Tianhuan, and settle the fee on your behalf. But if I am better, you have to settle the fee for me."

Li Aoz tilted his head:

"You are so ordinary, how can you be so confident?"

"Will you compete?" Yanagi said sarcastically: "Anyway, for you Red Arrows, you live in big villas and drive luxury cars with V8 engines. Naturally, you look down on us Tianhuan people who are short of resources."

"Puff--"

This guy's inexplicable remarks made Li Aoz laugh.

"If you want to provoke me, just provoke me. Don't make it sound so high-sounding." Li Aoz waved his hand: "If that's the case, then you can wait for me to empty my shopping cart."

"Haha, blind self-confidence."

Yaweimen was delighted: he was not just deliberately provoking trouble. The wealth of the Red Arrows was obvious. If he could really kill Li Aoz, it would not only be a revenge for his master, but also a real benefit. In the end, it would be great if he could get the Red Arrows to pay for him.

Gaining both fame and fortune, no matter how you think about it, it's a win for me.

What's more, I was prepared. The few frost-plated people who communicated with me had already obtained a list of well-known knife makers. As long as I choose according to what they said, I will definitely win in terms of total value.

"I will definitely win!"

I went to the hospital to check the biochemistry and took a film. As expected, it was bronchitis.

I will start paying off my debts tomorrow and restore the update rhythm.
