Xu Zhuchen and the two were besieged in the dungeon, surrounded by dangers and could not be explained in just a few words. Let’s not press the table for now.
However, after Jiang Lidi was stopped by Wang He and Jiang Liren, even though he had millions of resentments in his heart, he could only put on a smile and turn around to bow.
"My adoptive father is a thousand years old. You are not allowed to make trouble when you are established. Have you paid your respects to your adoptive father?"
Jiang Liren looked at his second brother, then at Wang He who was covering half of his face with a folding fan, and hugged Wang He tighter: "Master Wang said that he likes me like this because he is very kind. What's wrong with my second brother?" satisfied?"
Jiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his clothes stuck to his skin, and he felt very uncomfortable. He barely suppressed his worries about Jiang Litian, chuckled, and said, "My adoptive father is laughing at me. My younger brother has been spoiled since he was a child and is quite naughty. I beg my adoptive father not to punish him."
Wang He let out a strange laugh from his throat, like a ferocious but clumsy-looking strange bird. He bent down and held Jiang Liren in his arms with one hand, stroking Jiang Liren's thigh every now and then.
"Li Di, you kid has a strong spirit, which I admire very much. However, most of the time, you are a little too disciplined."
Jiang Lidi felt like a light on his back, lowering his head so as not to make eye contact with him.
"As for me, as I get older, I like children, especially cute little boys like Liren." Wang He shook the folding fan, and Jiang Lidi felt that the fanned wind pierced his body like steel needles. , "Li Di, you are a sensible child. You have to remember that you are the only one Li Ren can rely on now."
Jiang Lidi felt his eyes suddenly filled with blood. He calmed down, carefully observed Wang He's expression, and concluded that Xu Zhuchen, who was superb in martial arts, would not fall into his hands, so he said respectfully: "I will follow the teachings of my foster father."
Jiang Liren noticed the tense atmosphere between Wang He and Jiang Lidi and couldn't help but yawned. He tugged on Wang He's shirt and asked, "Master Wang, when will we enter the venue?"
Wang He grabbed his little hand with a smile and rubbed it: "Hurry, wait for the two 'actors' to attend."
When the sky turned dark, fires were already lit around the big tent. A young boy ran up to Wang He and said something in his ear. Wang He smiled and nodded, and said to brothers Lidi and Liren: "We can come in."
Jiang Li's palms were sweating, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only hold Li Ren's hand and move inside.
The two of them opened the heavy curtain in front of Wang He and lowered their heads to invite Wang He in. Wang He smiled and held one in each hand. He seemed to be doting on each other, but in fact he was controlling the two of them and preventing them from making any moves.
Their actions were completely exposed.
Jiang Lidi had never seen Xu Zhuchen's martial arts. He only knew that the eldest sister said that her martial arts was unfathomable. He believed that his eldest sister was not wrong when looking at people, so he tried to convince himself to relax and not show any flaws.
During the Four Kingdoms period of the previous dynasty, there was a biography written about these "people in the world" called "Qishi Lu".
There is a quite famous allusion in "The Record of Strange Scholars", which is "Lin Wei laughs at Mang":
There is a good archer in Jin'ou in the east, named Lin Pian, who is a first-class archer guard of the Qiangwei Guard; there is a good archer in Moyuan in the west, his surname is Wen, his name is unknown, and he once served as the commander of the garrison of Shitai City in Moyuan. When people from Jin'ou mentioned "shooting skills", they would naturally think of Lin Pian's guard. Someone in Moyuan asked about "the best shooter in the world", and there was no doubt that it was Commander Wen.
Someone instigated two archery masters to test their archery skills at Lengcang Mountain. The two had no intention of doing so, but they couldn't withstand years of estrangement and provocation, and finally decided to fight to determine the "best shot in the world."
This is the famous "Three Days on Lengcang Mountain".
After their competition started with a tacit understanding, the people around them waited for a long time, holding their breath and concentrating, but no movement was seen from the two of them.
These two people, Lin Wei sitting behind the rock and Wen Ling lying on the branch, were both motionless, as if they were integrated with the huge stone and old tree. Everyone present knew that any movement could mean the difference between life and death, so they were even more nervous, and even the sound of placing bets was cautious.
Occasionally, a gust of breeze blows in the forest, making the bystanders fearful for Wen Ling; occasionally, a bird chirping in the mountains makes those around Lin Wei sweat on his palms. But no matter day or night, morning or dusk, not a single arrow was seen.
The onlookers waited for three days and three nights, but without waiting for the arrow, most of them gradually dispersed. On the third night, most people couldn't stand it any longer. They slept and made a lot of noise, showing no signs of awe at first.
The nights in the mountains and forests are not peaceful. They are filled with the chirping of insects, the chirping of birds, and the gurgling of streams. Seeing a flock of birds flying over the horizon, a boy whistled, causing a gentle bird song.
Just then, an arrow flew out under the moonlight.
This bright silver arrow caught everyone's attention. People watched helplessly as the arrow flew behind a boulder, suddenly cracked, and dozens of tiny iron beads burst out. Those round, small iron beads flew into the boulder with the power of the bow and arrow, instantly punching holes in the three-foot-long boulder and scattering smoke and dust.
This is Commander Wen's unique skill - Ten Thousand Flowers Arrow. Anyone hit by this arrow has no chance of surviving.
Immediately afterwards, a black arrow pierced the sky and flew quickly and straight into the tree crown.
People only heard a muffled groan, and a figure rolled from the treetops to the ground, covering its abdomen.
Looking carefully, it turned out that the inconspicuous arrow just now was Lin Wei's arrow. She had been patient from beginning to end. She was so patient that she bit her lips to stay awake and ate grass and insects near her mouth to stay alive. She only waited for Commander Wen to make a move and then immediately counterattacked.
"Senior Wen," Lin Pian's voice was extremely hoarse, "that was just a deer. I still remember what you taught me, but you forgot."
"How could you be so reckless?"
Liren's tugging brought him back to consciousness, and it turned out that they had already arrived at the table.
Jiang Lidi glanced at Wang He and saw that he really wanted them to stay with him, and the fear and disgust in his heart surged up.
He deliberately took a step ahead and sat between Li Ren and Wang He. Li Ren didn't say anything, but Wang He glanced at him meaningfully and showed an unknown smile.
Oops.
Paying too much attention to the situation of establishing people, he fell into Wang He's provocation.
Now sitting between the two of them, next to Wang He, if something unexpected happens next, he will have no time to react.
Jiang Lidi clenched his fists fiercely, but a smile appeared on his face: "It is Jiang Lidi's blessing to be able to sit next to his adoptive father."
The big tent is arranged in a circle, with a stage in the center and seats around it. The central ceiling is as high as a two-story bungalow. The top is completely closed, and what hangs down is the luminous pearl produced in Meichuan. The light is not grand, but it clearly illuminates every corner.
Wang He and the others were seated at the eastern banquet, and had a clear view of the stage. After about a moment, the surrounding seats were gradually filled with people, and only the top seat in the north was still unoccupied.
You don't need to think about it to know that the owner there must be "General Han Ling" from Zhiyang.
The audience was still worried about their sister's safety when a gong sounded in the middle of the stage - it turned out that the stage actually moved up and down, operated by manual shaking of gears - the announcer cleared his throat and started the show.
The start of the show means that General Han Ling has arrived.
The first program was unremarkable. It was the most classic opening dance in the northwest - red clothes flying, skirts spinning, ribbons fluttering, and falling flowers all over the sky - this dance is called "Rushu" and has a history of a hundred years.
Life is like a dream, how much joy is there? Life is like a gift, and it has been a prosperous and simmering life since then.
When the song ended, everyone smiled and clapped their hands. Jiang immediately paid attention to Wang He. He just smiled and refused to take off the fan in his hand.
The second show is quite exciting acrobatics, including jacking a cylinder, breathing fire, changing faces, flying into the air, walking on a tightrope, drilling through fire hoops, training lions, and stacking arhats. Each program was exciting and exciting, and even though Jiang Li was worried, it didn't stop him from being fascinated by it.
Then came the third and fourth... Each performer was very skilled in their skills. The sound of the piano was like mountains and flowing water, and the sound of flute was like pearls. Li Di looked into Li Ren's eyes and thought, he was really attracted to it.
There was a slight commotion in the middle of the show. The woman performing the sword dance accidentally threw her sword into the seats. Fortunately, except for the two brothers, everyone at the table was not an ordinary person. The man in the seat on the west side chuckled, picked up the sword between his two fingers, and brought the sword back to the stage lightly.
This was Wang He's place, no one was booing on the spot, but the voices of discussion were still endless. What Jiang Lidi heard was: "Is this sword dance the highest level in the world?" "It has to be the Zixun Tower back then!" "Speaking of Zixun Tower, the sword dance in Zixun Tower is really unparalleled in the world. Especially the dancing girl named Wang Jing..." "Huo Ruyi shoots at the nine sunsets, as powerful as the emperors flying dragons, she is truly unparalleled in the world!"
The discussion continued for a while and then slowly died down. The atmosphere on the stage has been pushed to its highest level, but no new program has been performed. The announcer stood in the center of the stage, which only added to the curiosity of the audience.
After a long time, someone came over and said something to the announcer.
After listening to the announcement, the announcer put on a stylized smile: "I have made everyone wait for a long time. Our penultimate program today - the finale - is about to appear!"
The audience stretched their necks and saw two large black boxes, one person tall, being brought up from the underground of the stage. They were tied with iron ropes, and they didn't know what was inside.
Jiang Li's heart tightened and he couldn't help biting his lip. His heart was beating like a drum, and he could hardly hold on and rolled down from the chair.
He tried hard to convince himself that Xu Zhuchen was strong enough to fight against Wang He, and strong enough to protect Jiang Litian and take her out of the dungeon. But the sweat on his forehead betrayed his panic.
Wang He fanned the folding fan in his hand with a gentle smile: "Li Di, if you can't guess, I can give you a little hint."
“What’s inside the box—
"It's two women."
