"Miss Zhao, have you seen it?" Guo Shouyi sat on the table, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, stroking his beard confidently, and replied: "Whether what I did is appropriate or not, you all have your own justice."
Bai Feng sneered and retorted: "Mr. Guo's ability to pretend to be righteous when he is clearly selfish should not be underestimated."
After Guo Shouyi's guests heard this, they immediately stood up and cursed Bai Fengdao angrily.
"You bastard, how long have you been here before you dare to speak to Mr. Guo like this?"
"Who do you think you are? You are just a dog of the Zhao family!"
"It's an extraordinary blessing to have you on an equal footing with us. How dare you talk back?"
The young man spoke in a calm and nonchalant manner, raised his sword and said as if he were meeting someone for the first time: "I am the master of Yuyi Academy, and the 'General Bai Feng' who led the rebel army back to rescue Yuyi Town. , even if I am as humble as grass and dirt, I still care more about Yuyi Town than you people."
Just when the two sides were at odds, a wealthy businessman with a gentle temperament came forward and greeted Baifeng and his little sister: "You two, gentlemen, are you willing to come to meet us, is it just for this little verbal dispute? We need to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible!"
"What good idea does Mr. Qu have?" Guo Shouyi said arrogantly, "You must have thought of something before you dared to come up and speak, right?"
"This..." Mr. Zang was suspicious for a moment, then he handed over his hand and said helplessly: "I really don't have any good ideas, but I am really angry when I see all the distinguished elders relying on their old age to talk about meaningless things!"
"What are you talking about!" Guo Shouyi became angry for a moment and looked at Mr. Zang for a moment, but his face soon changed and he showed a very strange smile: "Hahaha, I heard that the Zang family and the Zhao family have always been on good terms, and even the Zang family has The eldest young master is also at Yuyi Academy. Why, how is Mr. Zang doing now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of wild laughter could be heard in the hall. What they laughed at was Zang Boyan's hard-working and extremely unscrupulous life. They were laughing at the result of Zang's family being so poor that they had to ask for help from others despite their noble status.
"The dog is successful in his studies, so you don't need to care." Mr. Zang complained and then returned to his seat angrily and dissatisfied.
Just looking at what happened here, Zhao Xiaomei just added a word of caution at this time and said: "I don't know what uncles think, let's be honest today and let's solve it together."
"Since it was Miss Zhao who requested it, I won't be polite." Guo Shouyi said: "About half a year ago, Mr. Zhao suddenly called everyone one day and said that he was going to the Central Plains to purchase armaments and equipment. The major families immediately contributed money and efforts to organize A large-scale caravan, but as a result, not only did your Zhao family bring nothing back, but you also lost most of the troops!"
Ma Shitu, who had been watching for a long time, immediately stepped forward and said in agreement: "Miss Zhao, don't forget things like this. That accident has made us brood over the past few months, and we have been unable to sleep."
Bai Feng suddenly understood, and his memory instantly returned to the day when he first came down the mountain and met Zhao Kuo. He was afraid that Xiaomei Zhao didn't know how to respond, so he took care of her, nodded, and then pushed his thumb to unsheath the Longming Sword by half an inch.
"If the peace talks fail, I will unsheath my sword, and the assassins lying in wait will obey my orders..." Seeing this, Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help but recall what Bai Feng had explained to her before the banquet started.
"Of course I remember!" Zhao Xiaomei suddenly replied loudly: "The caravan suffered heavy losses at that time, and many people did not come back alive..." As she spoke, she suddenly left her seat and slowly walked towards the uncles.
Guo Shouyi took advantage of the victory and pursued it, as if he wanted to cut off all past kindness here, and said: "When Mr. Zhao was here, we didn't dare to say anything. Which one of you here has not been supported by Mr. Zhao? But now, When people are gone, without Mr. Zhao, who can we rely on? Who can we trust? Miss Zhao, can you guarantee that what happened six months ago will not happen again today?"
These words were loud and clear, but Zhao Xiaomei did not take a step back. She raised her head, raised her chest, and waved her hands dignifiedly. Bai Feng stepped forward with the sword. If he didn't pay attention, Miss Zhao suddenly drew the sword out of its sheath, and in an instant The sword roared in all directions.
"Ah?" Guo Shouyi was frightened back half a step and said in surprise: "Miss Zhao, what are you..."
"This is the sword that killed tens of thousands of Rouran people!" Zhao Xiaomei held the Longming Sword in her hand and looked at it, and continued: "With just a few thousand people, tens of thousands of Rouran people were defeated. Has this happened several times before? , is this not enough for you to trust me?"
Guo Shouyi looked back at the other guests, all speechless.
"The Heba clan of Wuchuan Town has always been ambitious. It has always been his dream to unify North Town and recreate the 'Seven Towns Rebellion' ten years ago." Zhao Xiaomei explained her views on the current situation, which sounded superficial but was actually hidden. Mystery.
"But things have undergone earth-shaking changes since the moment the Heba clan formed an alliance with Rouran." Zhao Xiaomei continued: "Just imagine, if Yuyi Town falls, the entire North Town will fall into the hands of the Heba clan. They are colluding with the Rouran people, and they will definitely find an opportunity to send their troops south and invade the Central Plains. Now that the Central Plains court is divided, and the war between the two separate kingdoms continues, they are simply unable to confront Rouran head-on. Do you uncles think you still have somewhere to escape? ?”
After hearing this, Guo Shouyi was speechless. Ma Shitu saw the situation taking a turn for the worse, and immediately stood over Zhao Xiaomei and echoed her: "Miss Zhao really woke up the dreamer with her words! This is a national matter, how can we tolerate the slightest bit of it?" Do private affairs affect the overall situation?"
"As for everything you deserve...when my brother comes back, he will definitely act impartially." Zhao Xiaomei looked around, looking extremely ashamed, and saluted the elders: "My little sister is just a woman's family. Now I just ask your uncles to continue. Send food and wages to the soldiers on the front line. As long as we win this battle and weaken the Heba clan, everything will be different."
After saying this, all the guests praised him, but Guo Shouyi stood there alone, unable to move forward or retreat.
"Ms. Zhao, I made a mistake." He looked around and everyone who was standing next to him ran behind Ma Shitu. Guo Shouyi turned around and left the table in anger.
"Mr. Bai, go and give Uncle Guo a gift." Zhao Xiaomei returned the Longming Sword to Bai Feng. Seeing the admiration in the young man's eyes, she felt indescribably happy.
"Yes." Bai Feng said, and immediately followed Guo Shouyi. When he was about to get on the carriage and leave, he scolded: "Mr. Guo, are you in the wrong place?"
Guo Shouyi was puzzled: "I can't stay at this table any longer, so let the Zhao family taste the bitter pill!"
"No, I mean, you should go back to jail now."
