Chapter 287 If you don't start, when will you wait?
noon.
sunny.
Dou Changsheng was riding a horse and was rushing out of Shili Village. He immediately saw Guan Xinran waiting at the side of the official road.
After seeing Dou Changsheng's figure, Guan Xinran immediately stepped forward.
Dou Changsheng could see clearly, and Guan Xinran showed a look of relief. It was obvious that he cared about himself. Dou Changsheng was somewhat touched by this, but Guan Xinran was still okay.
The status of the other party has been raised to a higher level in Dou Changsheng's heart. Nowadays, there are not many people that Dou Changsheng can trust, and there is no one who can be his confidant. After the Xiaoyuan massacre, Dou Changsheng deliberately cultivated his confidants.
He can no longer be alone. It is true that there is strength in numbers. Even after reaching the level of gods and demons, you still need to have some capable people to do some tedious things for you.
So Dou Changsheng accepted Fei Lei. When Guan Xinran was abandoned by thousands of people and was in constant panic, Dou Changsheng used both kindness and power to take Guan Xinran under his command, and a small team had been initially formed.
Raising the hand holding the riding crop, Dou Changsheng uttered one word: "Let's go."
With a flick of the riding whip, the horses rushed out at a faster speed. Guan Xinran got on his horse and rushed towards Shendu together. After galloping all the way until they arrived in Shendu City, Dou Changsheng then said to Guan Xinran beside him: "Go outside the city.
Prepare an estate."
"I'm hiring some chefs and I'm going to throw a big banquet."
Guan Xinran responded, but not immediately, but took the initiative to come over and say: "The body of the embassy steward has been autopsyed. There is no hidden disease that could kill the person, and there is no poisoning. He really died of fright."
"I have heard about this case, and the Lord of the Palace has paid attention to it..."
Dou Changsheng said indifferently: "I don't know how many people care about every move I make now. It is a very legitimate thing for the Lord of the Palace to care about me."
Guan Xinran continued to preach: "The master of the palace has already dealt with it and completed the procedures. We only need to wait for the master of the palace to stamp his official seal before the case can be filed for investigation."
"I also have news from my subordinates. His Royal Highness is planning to entertain your Excellency at a banquet."
Guan Xinran did not continue speaking. The reminder was so obvious that no more words were needed.
Dou Changsheng couldn't help but hold the riding whip in his hand tightly. Chen Renmei, the master of the Suzaku Hall, was a princeling. The other party's intention of doing this was obvious. If he did not join the princeling after meeting with the prince, or he would
The prince could not feel at ease.
Then Chen Renmei will definitely make use of the topic. This case is not big and will not harm Dou Changsheng. It may be connected to the case of the death of the spiritual messenger, but it can bring trouble to Dou Changsheng.
This case put Dou Changsheng to death. The hope is somewhat slim, but this is not enough to convince the public. After all, this is not Dou Changsheng's previous life. Killing an individual is an ironclad case, even if the prince breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty.
In the past, the fate of Ye Wumian and Zhang Shaoquan involved countless people, including officials such as Liu Men and Jin Lingwei, but they were all abandoned.
There are many classes in this world. Common people are on one level, and warriors are on another level.
Warriors can also be subdivided into lower third grade, middle third grade, and upper third grade.
Dou Changsheng is now considered to be on the third level. Unless it is a major case, Dou Changsheng cannot be moved. Unless the Yinji Sect's affairs are exposed, Dou Changsheng can flee to the end of the world.
But in this case, the other party insisted on it, and it was not difficult to implicate Dou Changsheng. It could delay the time, and when the princelings won a complete victory and wiped out the Jin King's party, the court was already talking about it.
The results speak for themselves.
The other party was prepared for a rainy day, but it was of little use. Dou Changsheng had no intention of supporting King Jin at all.
It is too risky to support the King of Jin, but it is okay to support the prince. The prince is the eldest son, Zhengshuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Dou Changsheng had various thoughts in his mind, but it was not an important matter. He opened his mouth and said to Guan Xinran, "You don't need to think about it in advance."
"You go find a manor, and then give an invitation to Chen Shenqie from Qinglong Palace, and then go to Xijiang Yue Restaurant. If Mr. Wang from Qi comes, he will also give an invitation together."
"I'll get ready in the afternoon."
Guan Xinran responded, and just as he was pulling the reins to turn the horse's head to leave, he hesitated and said: "Do you want to invite Lieutenant Fei from outside Longmen Pass?"
"please."
Dou Changsheng was negligent. His second brother's presence was not high, and he almost forgot that he was also a grand master. If he were to host a banquet, it would not take much time to get from Longmen Pass to the Capital of Gods by galloping on horseback.
Dou Changsheng began to get busy, and there were a lot of tedious things.
Time passed slowly, and the sun was already setting in the blink of an eye.
Dou Changsheng raised his eyes and looked at the dim light on the horizon in the distance. The blurry night appeared between the sky and the earth. It was only more than half an hour before it was completely dark.
Dou Changsheng looked at the banquet arranged in the courtyard. The banquet arranged on his own initiative in the manor was more solemn.
The ground was paved with carpets, and a red carpet was laid in the center. The table directly above it was where Dou Changsheng was sitting, right in front of the red carpet.
On both sides of the red carpet, there were tables and tables, all of which were seated separately.
The sky began to get dark, and braziers were lit in all directions, filling the air with fiery red light. It not only dispelled the darkness, but also dispelled the coolness of the night.
The main light source comes from a gemstone in the sky. As the sun sets, it is gradually brightening. The bright light scatters, illuminating the front yard of the manor like daylight.
At this time, Chen Shenquan was sitting behind the table, taking a sip of tea from his tea cup, and then said: "Why do you suddenly want to hold a banquet this time?"
Chen Shenqing's words spoke to everyone's hearts, and everyone looked at Dou Changsheng.
Among them were Fei Lei, who had already arrived from Longmen Pass, Mr. Wang, who had just arrived in the capital of the gods, and the Eastern Divine Captor, who had only met for the first time today and was only familiar with them.
Although there are not many in number, these are all third-level masters, and their strength is not weak at all.
This is also the capital of God. If it were in other realms, with so many masters gathered together, something big must have happened. However, now in the capital of God, it has also attracted a lot of attention, and I don’t know how many people are watching.
After all, it was Dou Changsheng who hosted the banquet this time, and those who came to the banquet were all grand masters. With so much combat power gathered, if he had a plan, he would be able to do great things.
Dou Changsheng looked around, paying attention to everyone's expressions, and said calmly: "The purpose of hosting this banquet is because of the death case of the Spirit Clan envoy."
Dou Changsheng continued calmly: "After the day's investigation, I have obtained a new clue, but this clue is in the hands of the Shang clan, and it will be difficult to obtain it."
"I went to Shili Village in the afternoon and met with the Shang clan in person."
There was a slight pause in the words. Everyone's eyes were bright and their voices were focused, waiting for Dou Changsheng to continue speaking.
The meeting between Dou Changsheng and the gods and demons of the Shang clan was a matter of concern to many people. They wanted to know what exactly they were talking about. For example, the Eastern Divine Captor arrived as soon as he was invited. This might be because he was trying to find out the news.
After Dou Changsheng paused slightly, he said bluntly without giving away: "After meeting with the Shang clan, it has been confirmed that they have clues in their hands, but if you want to get this clue, you must let me contact the God of Wealth Pavilion."
"The Shang clan plans to discuss with the God of Wealth Pavilion."
"Let me be the middleman."
Chen Shenqing had a look of realization. It turned out that the purpose of the banquet was to invite the God of Wealth Pavilion and the Shang clan. No wonder the seats were vacant now.
Everyone relaxed, it turned out that there was nothing serious, and they started talking to each other, especially Mr. Wang who rushed to the capital of God from Qidi. It can be said that after receiving the news, he immediately set off from Qidi without any pause in the middle.
After rushing all the way, I was able to successfully reach the divine capital in a short period of time.
Even though he was a third-level martial artist, Mr. Wang now looked tired. Chen Shenqing looked at Dou Changsheng and was apologizing to Mr. Wang, and the two sides began friendly negotiations.
Chen Shenqing, like Dongfang Shenqing beside him, did not take the initiative to speak, and just drank tea calmly.
Chen Shenqing didn't know what other people were thinking, but at this time he definitely didn't think that Dou Changsheng was just a middleman, connecting the Shang clan and the God of Wealth Pavilion.
Chen Shenquan obtained inside information. Dou Changsheng took the initiative to take over the death case of the Spirit Clan envoy. This was not because Dou Changsheng was ignorant and did not know the difference, but because he wanted to please the gods and demons.
There must be something fishy in this. Chen Shenqing began to think about what Dou Changsheng was thinking.
Guan Xinran hurriedly came from outside, came to Dou Changsheng's side, lowered his head and said, "Sir."
"The Shang tribe's envoy is almost here."
Dou Changsheng slowly stood up and said to everyone: "The Shang clan is here, please allow me to go and greet them."
"Brother, why go there? I'll do it."
As soon as Fei Lei opened his mouth, Dou Changsheng waved his hand to stop him, while Chen Shenqiu, who was thinking hard at the side, his eyes lit up.
When Dou Changsheng came outside the manor, he saw Qingfeng getting off the carriage. Compared with the simple attire in Shili Village, Qingfeng now changed into a brocade robe, her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and she just changed her clothes.
But the image immediately grew seven points taller, no longer like a waiter, but like the protagonist on the stage. His whole body was filled with light, and his pair of bright purple eyes were the center of the world no matter where he went.
Showing his unique style, people can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.
With Dou Changsheng personally leading the way, Qingfeng sat on her seat, looked around, and said unhappily: "Isn't Qian Xiaosan here?"
He looked a little unhappy, and his emotions were not hidden at all.
After saying this, before Dou Changsheng could speak, Chen Shenquan stood up suddenly, reached out and grabbed the saber on the table, looked at Qingfeng and said in a deep voice: "If you don't do it yet, we'll wait until later!"
Fei Lei directly pushed the table in front of him and blasted towards the Shang clan like a cannonball. His burly body stood up directly and roared: "Kill."
