Liu Zhen’s decades-long career as a casual cultivator has yielded quite a lot.
After calming down, he thought of many ideas.
If we take the initiative to go to the Liu family now, it would seem too petty, not big enough, and the method of revenge is too old-fashioned.
Therefore, Liu Zhen chose another method.
Of course, this method requires the help of Jiang Chen and Wushuang Emperor.
Since Jiang Chen planned to support Liu Zhen, he naturally didn't mind contributing. After learning Liu Zhen's ideas from Liu Zhen, he also felt that this method was good.
Wu Shangshu of the Zhutang Empire's Ministry of War has not been living a very comfortable life recently. The Hedong Lion at home is particularly emotionally unstable every day, which makes Wu Shangshu reluctant to go home every day.
On this day, the Hedong lion at home finally returned to his parents' home. It was rare for Wu Shangshu to be quiet, and he was enjoying himself at home.
Suddenly he felt a breeze blowing by his ears, and the next moment, there was a person next to him.
"Eh..." Wu Shangshu was about to scream, but someone tapped his mute point.
A young man stood beside him with a faint smile: "Wu Shangshu, don't get excited. I'm just here to send you an invitation."
"Invitation? Who are you?" Wu Shangshu asked after clearing his throat.
"You don't need to know who I am. The invitation has made it clear. Tomorrow at noon, Wu Shangshu must arrive at the Tianzihao private room in the largest Drunken Immortal Building in Chitang City. Otherwise, maybe next time I come to visit,
This is not an invitation, but a reminder."
The young man smiled evilly: "You know, I can do what I say. There are details on the invitation. Wu Shangshu will take a closer look."
After saying that, the young man's figure flickered and disappeared like a breeze.
Wu Shangshu was stunned and his whole body was trembling. This was the residence of a dignified Shangshu family. How tightly guarded were it? Even though someone broke in, there was no movement.
This person...who is this person?
He quickly opened the invitation and took a closer look. The invitation was very polite. It just invited him to a banquet at Zuixian Tower. The time and place were clearly stated.
However, there was also a hint behind the invitation that if he did not attend, the consequences might be beyond Wu Shangshu's expectation.
If you attend, the host of this banquet guarantees that there will never be any ill intentions and that you will be in for a big surprise.
There were many high-ranking officials in the DPRK who also received invitations like Wu Shangshu. The invitation methods were surprisingly consistent, and the content was also surprisingly consistent.
The owner of the invitation calls himself Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen was hardly famous in Chitang City at that time. In the eyes of the court officials, Liu Zhen was even less famous.
Therefore, everyone is confused as to who this Liu Zhen is.
However, considering the way the invitation was invited, they really didn't dare not attend the banquet. After all, the person who sent the letter was too scary.
As a result, Zuixian Tower became lively. At noon that day, many prominent officials in the court appeared in the Tianzihao private room.
There were a total of thirty or forty people, all of whom were prominent figures in the court.
It was somewhat awkward for these big officials to meet each other. But what everyone is most curious about is, who is this Liu Zhen?
However, after the banquet started, they immediately knew who Liu Zhen was.
Of course, Liu Zhen is not scary. What is scary are the few people around Liu Zhen.
As the host, Liu Zhen was very polite. Apart from introducing himself during the banquet, he did not do anything out of bounds.
After the banquet started, Liu Zhen toasted frequently. Halfway through the banquet, Liu Zhen also gave everyone a big gift.
Having food and food was the life that these imperial officials were most accustomed to. So later on, everyone became less restrained and gradually relaxed.
In the end, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
They finally understood that Liu Zhen had become prosperous outside. Now he had returned to his hometown in fine clothes, so he came up with such a battle because he wanted to get close to them, the big officials of the pond empire.
Although everyone disliked this invitation method, everyone was still willing to listen to Liu Zhen's kind words at the banquet.
Especially those who eat and take others, you have to give some face, right?
In this way, the banquet dispersed in a cheerful atmosphere.
This kind of banquet was held every day for three or four days in a row, and it was almost the same people. The style of the banquet was different every day.
As a result, Liu Zhen's reputation gradually spread among the government and the public.
Being invited to the banquet by Liu Zhen has gradually become the norm in recent times. A kind of comparison has also formed faintly.
Anyone who is not invited to the banquet by Liu Zhen will look a little shabby.
At first, the Liu family's reaction to this matter was relatively dull. However, after several days in a row, the Liu family's elder brother never received such an invitation.
The Liu family couldn't sit still.
The recent banquet has almost covered the entire officialdom of the empire. As long as there are some prominent people, everyone is invited.
The eldest son of the Liu family is also the minister of the Ministry of War, and can be regarded as the second-in-command in the Ministry of War. Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of War has attended the banquet several times.
The elder brother of the Liu family didn't even know who Liu Zhen was.
Back home, the elder of the Liu family was also in a bad mood and was unhappy during the family banquet.
The old father of the Liu family couldn't help but ask: "Da Lang, you have been unhappy these days. Could it be that there is something unsatisfactory about the government affairs?"
The eldest son of the Liu family sighed: "Father, there has been a demonic wind blowing in Chitang City recently. There is a guy who seems to be doing well outside. Now he has returned to his hometown in fine clothes and is holding a banquet for dignitaries in the court in Chitang City. Most of the prominent people are invited.
Here we are. Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of War has participated in three or four banquets. It is said that the guy is very generous with his money, and he has both food and drink. For a time, it has become a trend."
"What? That guy didn't invite you? You are also the Minister of War and the adjutant of the Ministry of War after all."
"Oh, I feel puzzled too. Many people who are not as high-ranking as me and who are not in key departments have received invitations. Almost everyone has been included. But I was left out. Now everyone is gathering together to discuss this matter.
When I did it, the child was very embarrassed."
"Maybe he forgot about you?"
"It's impossible. For such a smart man, he must have a list of any important officials in the court. Once the list is scanned, it's clear who is going and who is not. I feel like he didn't invite me on purpose."
The old man of the Liu family was not happy: "This is a bit ignorant. People with lower official ranks than you have been invited. But you are not invited. This is a slap in your face."
"Isn't it?" The elder of the Liu family was very depressed.
"Brother, isn't that guy too arrogant? Brother, how about I call a group of people to deal with him secretly?" The young master of the Liu family was also very unhappy with what he heard and started shouting.
"Who is that person? What is his name?" The Liu family's father was also unhappy.
"It seems his name is Liu Zhen. Xiaofeng, please don't act recklessly. That Liu Zhen seems to have average abilities. But he doesn't know where he got a few subordinates, and they are frighteningly powerful. There are many personal bodyguard leaders of first-class officials.
, privately I feel that I am far inferior to those guys."
"Ah? So scary? Liu Zhen? There seems to be no powerful family named Liu in our Chitang City. Could it be a mistake?"
"That's right, the name on the invitation was Liu Zhen."
The young master of the Liu family on the side was suddenly startled and asked: "Brother, what do you think his name is? Liu Zhen?"
"yes."
"Liu Zhen?" The young master of the Liu family jumped up, "Brother, did you remember correctly? Are you sure your name is Liu Zhen?"
"Nonsense. I am so passive about this matter. Of course I have to find out clearly. His name is Liu Zhen. It is said that he used to be an ordinary family and lived in Dahuai Hutong somewhere.
"Ah" the young master of the Liu family suddenly turned ugly, "How could this be, how could this happen? How is it possible that he...that boy has so much potential? How is this possible?"
The elder man of the Liu family was stunned: "Xiao Feng, what did you say? Do you know him?"
The young master Liu Feng wanted to deny it, but the stern gazes of his old father and elder brother made him want to lie but he couldn't find the right rhythm.
"I... I think I know this guy. He was a poor man back then."
His son is no better than his father. Seeing his youngest son's appearance, the old Liu family's expression suddenly became extremely ugly: "Feng'er, look at your reaction, are you having a problem with someone else?"
Liu Feng hesitated: "Yes... a little bit."
"Only a little?" Liu's old father didn't believe it.
"It's a little more than a little bit. It's all a matter of the past. Back then, I..." Liu Feng stammered, his expression was a little pale, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to look at the elder man of the Liu family.
The elder brother of the Liu family slapped the table with an angry look on his face: "Xiao Feng, you bastard, now I finally know why they didn't invite me. I'm here to help you. Please invite me truthfully. What's going on between you two?
Celebrating the holidays?”
"I..." Xiaofeng looked pale and hesitated but refused to speak.
"Beast, it's definitely not a good thing to see you like this." The old father of the Liu family also became emotional. He knew very well that his youngest son had always been lawless and acted recklessly. All kinds of bad things were too numerous to describe.
If he were not his own son, and asked him to objectively evaluate Liu Feng, the Liu family father would definitely say four words: Death is not a pity.
"Speak quickly." The elder of the Liu family punched the table so hard that all the dishes on the table jumped up and fell to the ground.
"Brother, don't hit me. I said, can't I say that? At first... I just thought that his woman was very charming, so... So I teased her a little bit. I didn't expect that woman to be so charming.
Just like Yu Chai, she will burn up with the slightest spark. Alas, it’s Xiaoqian, you all should know it. She is now my sixth roommate, and I think she’s too tired. If Liu Zhen still misses her,
At worst, just give it back to him. What a big deal."
Snapped
The elder of the Liu family was so angry that he slapped him hard in the face.
