Yao Xiangzhu obviously didn't think he was incompetent, or he could accept that his skills were inferior to others and that he was defeated by his opponent, but he couldn't even survive a single move, and his long sword was also caught in someone else's hand. This was a bit too ugly.
So after that, he gritted his teeth and kept silent. He only pushed his power to the extreme, trying to pull his sword back from Lu Jing's hand.
However, he tried once but failed. The long sword simply didn't move in Lu Jing's hand.
Then he wanted to try it a second time.
But before that, Lu Jing moved first and broke his long sword into two pieces.
But Yao Xiangzhu was still exerting force at this time, but suddenly the strength on the other side that had been holding on was gone, so his people also flew out, knocking over two tables one after another.
However, compared with the previous escort, he did not suffer much internal injuries because he did not use his internal strength to attack Lu Jing.
He quickly wanted to get up from the ground and fight again, but the next moment something flew past his ear and stuck on the table behind him.
Yao Xiangzhu turned around and found that the thing was actually the severed blade that he had lost earlier!
Feeling the cold air coming from his neck, Yao Xiangzhu finally calmed down, looked at Lu Jing again with his big eyes, and said with cupped hands.
"Your Excellency is superior in skill, and I am convinced that I will lose."
Hearing his words, before Lu Jing said anything, Jiang Yuanmao panicked first.
Although he was a little surprised when the escort was knocked away by Lu Jing before, he was not too anxious and kept his expression as usual because he still had the trump card of Yao Xiangzhu.
Although a second-rate master is not that rare in the capital, he rarely encounters opponents.
Therefore, Jiang Yuanmao never thought that a master like Yao Xiangzhu would lose to an unknown guest, and that he would lose so embarrassingly.
He only took out one sword before he was restrained. In the end, even the sword he carried was broken into two pieces.
After witnessing this scene, the restaurant was now completely silent.
Although there are many people from the world among the guests who came to celebrate their birthday, they are no match for Yao Xiangzhu. Since Yao Xiangzhu has been defeated, they will naturally be defeated even more completely when they go up.
So those people in the arena saw that the opportunity was not good, and now they all sat back in their respective seats, pretending not to notice what was happening here.
Jiang Yuanmao's eldest son looked around with an almost pleading look, but wherever he looked, all the guests lowered their heads.
In fact, when it comes to those who are available, there are many followers and guards downstairs, including some members of the Changle Gang in the teahouse opposite. However, it takes time for them to catch up, and the distance between Lu Jing and Jiang Yuanmao In just five steps, with Lu Jing's skill, he could reach Jiang Yuanmao's side in the blink of an eye, and those people were far behind.
Secondly, even if those people arrived in time, it was hard to say whether they could stop Lu Jing. Except for the Jiang family's own guards, neither the bodyguards nor the Changle Gang would fight for Jiang Yuanmao.
So the current situation can be said to be very bad for Jiang Yuanmao.
However, Jiang Yuanmao is the leader of the group after all, and has seen many big scenes, and his performance is much better than that of his sons.
Although I was panicked at first, I calmed down after knowing that I couldn't escape, and said, "What do you want?"
"First return to him the batch of goods you withheld this morning," Lu Jing pointed at Gu Caiwei and said, "Brother Gu is the first friend I made when I came to the capital. He is a very nice person and he took the initiative to tell me where I was going. He sells old ginseng, so I have to reciprocate the favor and repay his favor."
Gu Caiwei was startled when she heard this. She didn't seem to expect that the Northland visitor next to her would help her, and the reason was just a casual chat she had made earlier.
However, Gu Caiwei also knew that the opportunity was rare at the moment. If this guest named Feng hadn't helped her out, it would be difficult for her to get her goods back from Jiang Yuanmao tonight.
And because Feng's interference prevented her from completely falling out with everyone from the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce. Of course, Jiang Yuanmao would definitely be offended.
But Jiang Yuanmao was already an enemy rather than a friend to her, so he had nothing to lose.
So she didn't shirk it, but added, "And my people."
"And his people." Lu Jing said to Jiang Yuanmao, "Did you hear that?"
Jiang Yuanmao took a deep breath and nodded expressionlessly, "I heard it."
Then he turned to his eldest son and said, "Go to the government and ask them to send the detained people and goods to Mr. Gu's firewood shop."
The eldest son didn't hesitate, nodded immediately, and then trotted downstairs.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful if he goes to find someone from the Imperial City Division."
Lu Jing didn't take it seriously when he heard this, "It's okay. Anyway, my muscles and bones haven't moved yet tonight. It would be better if he complained to the Imperial City Secretary."
Lu Jing has now deeply realized the happiness brought by the trumpet.
Putting him here, although his status as a first-class master can serve as a deterrent, it is definitely not that pleasant. As a human being, as long as he is alive, even if he becomes an emperor, he will inevitably have many worries.
For example, with his status, it is definitely inconvenient for him to get involved with the Imperial City Division. If he fails, he will become famous, and he might even be on the wanted list of the Imperial City Division.
When dealing with Jiang Yuanmao, he also has to consider the Changle Gang and King Yun behind him. It doesn't matter if he is alone, but he also has Gu Caiwei, and Gu Caiwei has his mother to take care of and business to take care of.
On the contrary, it is not as easy as Feng Jiulang, the trumpet, who can play however he wants.
After sending his eldest son away, Jiang Yuanmao said again, "Do you have any other requests?"
The old man was really able to keep his composure. He hadn't made a wish even on his birthday, but now he was acting as Lu Jing's magic lamp.
Lu Jing did not answer immediately when he heard this, but asked instead, "What do you think? What other shameful things have you done before?"
Jiang Yuanmao frowned and said with an upright face, "I am a serious businessman and I have always acted openly and aboveboard. What is there to be ashamed of?"
"Haha, don't use such nonsense to fool people." Lu Jing turned to look at the guests in the restaurant, "What about you, can anyone provide evidence that Jiang Huishou did something bad?"
Naturally, no one answered. Although the current situation was stronger and no one could defeat Lu Jing, they also did not want to offend Jiang Yuanmao, the leader of the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce, so no one spoke.
Lu Jing knocked on the table again and said, "If anyone can tell me, I will let him live tonight."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion among the guests.
What does this mean? Is it possible that Feng plans to go on a killing spree and turn Jiang Yuanmao's birthday banquet into a mourning hall? Is this guy so cruel?
But he is only one person, can he kill him, and isn't he afraid of everyone trying their best?
Although most people thought Lu Jing was bluffing, a voice broke the silence after a while.
"I...I might know something."
The person who spoke was actually an acquaintance of Lu Jing. Lu Jing had followed him into the restaurant before.
Perhaps because he had not joined the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce and no one in his family was in business, although Xu Dianbo did not want to offend Jiang Yuanmao, he was not as afraid of offending Jiang Yuanmao as others.
Especially choosing between his own life and offending Jiang Yuanmao was obviously not difficult for him.
