Which is more serious: the punishment of a thousand people or the beating of a thousand people?
People who have never been beaten think that they will die in vain if they are criticized by thousands of people.
People who have been beaten know very well that as long as you are thick-skinned, you will only be ignored.
But if you are beaten by a thousand people, you will definitely die. If you are beaten by ten people, you will die.
So when Xue Ne said someone was going to beat him, Li Qinzai was inexplicably surprised.
Then Li Qinzai began to quickly reflect on his recent actions to see if he had done anything that deserved a beating.
After much deliberation, only the time when Zheng Feng Kuafu chased the sun did something more outrageous, but that was also for revenge, and no innocent people were involved.
So, why did you become the dungeon BOSS that the powerful disciples of Chang'an City must master?
Is it the ex’s fault again?
"Why did they beat me? I made their mother-in-law's belly bigger?" Li Qinzai said anxiously but trying to remain calm.
Xue Ne was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's not true. Brother Jingchu is too confident..."
This sentence is a bit shocking. Thinking about his recent yellow urine, Li Qinzai feels that he has no confidence to refute.
Xue Na smiled and sighed: "Brother Rijingchu made a sharp weapon a few days ago. I heard it was called the 'God's Arm Bow'. It is very sharp. The weapons supervisor is now working in shifts day and night to make it..."
"Furthermore, Your Majesty has decreed that this thing must be kept secret until it is deployed in the army. It will only be made public after the autumn when the king's army conquers the nine Tiele clans. Not many people in Chang'an City know about this thing, except for those old generals."
And my father..."
Li Qinzai frowned: "Have you ever spoken so out of tune before? The point is, I made the things and dedicated them to the emperor. The rest is none of my business. I only care about why others want to beat me."<
/p>
Xue Na sighed: "This matter has something to do with the Divine Arm Bow. Several old generals have seen the Divine Arm Bow and praised Brother Jingchu even more. After returning home, they praised Brother Jingchu in front of their descendants...
…”
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that he had become someone else’s child.
"So those bastards from powerful families hate me because of jealousy?"
Xue Na smiled bitterly and said: "That's not the case. We are scolded by our elders and compared with other people's children. We have been used to this since we were young. It's just the east wind blowing over the horse's ears."
"But this time the old generals went a little too far. After praising brother Jingchu, they beat their own children severely without saying a word."
Xue Ne glanced at him secretly and whispered: "Young brother can't escape bad luck. Yesterday, my father took me to the yard for no reason and beat me until I crawled all over the floor. I didn't know the reason after the beating..." p>
"Later I heard that old general Su Dingfang let it slip, saying that the boy from the Li family suddenly became smarter because he was often beaten by his father. After beating him, he was able to create such powerful weapons as the divine arm bow. Old generals
The reason is summarized. The child needs to be beaten more often, otherwise it will be ineffective."
Xue Ne's eyes turned sad and he said: "Brother Jingchu is really smart. Who did we, the general disciples, offend whom? The number of powerful disciples in Chang'an City has been significantly increased recently, and every one of them has a bruised nose and face when they go out...
”
"Brother Jingchu, don't blame them for wanting to beat you up. After all, you are the culprit. If Brother Yu and Brother Jingchu hadn't been close friends for many years, Brother Yu wouldn't have been able to bear it..."
Li Qinzai's face was expressionless and he was silent for a long time. Suddenly he turned his head and said loudly: "Come here, tell the accountant that you don't need to withdraw the twenty coins!"
Xue Ne was shocked and stood up quickly to apologize: "Brother Jingchu, have mercy! Brother Yu is wrong. What he means is that anyone who dares to beat brother Jingchu is his life and death enemy. I will get rid of him as soon as possible!"
Li Qinzai felt comfortable now.
Facts have proved that wielding the big stick of economic sanctions is applicable to all countries in ancient and modern times.
But Li Qinzai didn't expect that he would unintentionally become the public enemy of the dandies in Chang'an.
Xue Ne looked at him worriedly and said: "Brother Jingchu, you should avoid the limelight these days. Those bastards are all descendants of the Dukes of Chang'an City. They are not afraid of Brother Jingchu's identity. If they are encountered, they will really dare to beat him up."
Yours."
Li Qinzai said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I won't go out recently, just think I'm afraid of them."
Xue Na said in shock: "Brother Jingchu is really scared?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "What I'm afraid of is not them, but trouble..."
Adults only look at the pros and cons, especially those who have lived two lifetimes, and they will not be as impulsive as a passionate young man.
There are no interests involved, no disputes over beauty, and no reason to fight. It is really childish. Li Qinzai has no interest in dealing with those bastards.
If he could avoid all these troubles by not going out, Li Qinzai wouldn't mind being a homebody.
After all, the Li family’s mansion has everything, including food, drink, and minor health care.
But what Li Qinzai didn't expect was that after he avoided trouble, trouble came to him.
The two of them were eating barbecue and drinking grape wine in the backyard, when housekeeper Wu Tong came over in a hurry.
After meeting and saluting, Wu Tong whispered: "Fifth Young Master, someone has come to hand over an invitation. I invite you to a banquet at Anrenfang Cuiyuan at 2 o'clock tonight."
"Who's inviting me to a banquet?"
Wu Tongtong: "The grandson of Duke Shen, Gao Qi."
Li Qinzai blinked and turned to look at Xue Ne.
Xue Na knew well that Li Qinzai was disabled and had lost his memory, so he explained: "Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, died in the 21st year of Zhenguan. His grandson Gao Qi was the son of Gao Zhenxing, the fourth brother of the Gao family.
”
Li Qinzai clicked his tongue and said: "This name is really immodest. He is highly qualified, he is really good at it..."
Xue Na sighed: "Brother Jingchu doesn't want to fight in vain, but I won't let you go. Among the people in Chang'an City who want to beat brother Jingchu, Gao Qi is one of them, and he is the one who dances the most happily. This
The invitation is murderous, it is clearly a Hongmen Banquet, and Brother Jingchu must not attend the banquet."
Li Qinzai said yes.
In terms of status, he and Gao Qi's grandfather are both famous officials and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Although Gao Shilian is dead, the importance of the Gao family is still there. Speaking of Gao Qi, there is really no reason.
Afraid of him.
Li Qinzai was curious about how many times Gao Qi had been beaten by his elders. He was so resentful of him that he even took the initiative to hold a banquet and called him out to beat him.
The dandies of this era are really too idle.
Turning to look at Wu Tong, Li Qinzai said: "Send someone to tell Gao Qi that I have agreed, and I will be happy to attend the banquet tonight."
Wu Tong didn't know what happened, so he turned around and went to deliver the message.
Xue Na said in shock: "Brother Jingchu is really going?"
Li Qinzai rolled his eyes and ignored him.
…………
As night falls and until late at night, the streets of Chang'an gradually turn from noisy to quiet.
The streets and alleys were completely silent except for the orderly footsteps of Marquis Wu and the soldiers patrolling the streets, and a few barking dogs could be heard from time to time in the dark night.
In a restaurant called "Cuiyuan" in Anrenfang.
The drinkers in the building had already dispersed. The shopkeeper and a few waiters braced themselves and stood cautiously outside a room.
Sitting on the main seat in the Accord was a young man in a brocade robe, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a sinister face and sinister brows.
This person is the host of tonight’s banquet, Gao Qi, the grandson of Duke Shen.
There were several young men nearby who were also wearing brocade robes. Judging from their demeanor, they were also playboys and spendthrifts from powerful families.
The sound of a watch was heard on the street. It was already three quarters to one hour, which was around eleven o'clock in the night.
From seven o'clock to eleven o'clock at night, that damn British grandson still didn't even see a shadow.
The spirit of the dandies has long since turned from murderous to languid, like a group of defeated troops who were counterattacked, sitting dejectedly at the table, and some even started to doze off.
Well, although these people have terrible conduct, their work and rest patterns are undoubtedly very healthy.
No one spoke in the Accord for a long time.
After the unbearable silence, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.
A dandy looked at the livid-faced Gao Qi and said cautiously: "Brother Gao, I'm afraid that evil beast Li Qinzai won't come..."
Another dandy nodded and gritted his teeth angrily: "I never expected that the grandson of a dignified British prince would be such a dishonest and shameless person that he would dare to break his promise!"
In the Accord, all the dandies were dejected.
They agreed to the appointment so easily, but it's a pity that these dandies waited so stupidly until now, and their high morale was invisibly shattered by that evil beast.
