Chapter 315 Heroes Banquet

In the twenty-first year of Mingde, on September 29th, it is suitable to clean the house, offer sacrifices and catch fish, but it is not suitable to get married, offer gifts or break the ground.

The autumn wind brings joy, and the sky is clear and the air is fresh.

The gate of Leijiabao slowly opened.

The big red lanterns were hung high, and everyone in Leimen was filled with joy, but also a little bit of tension.

Today, the Leimen Hero Banquet, which has been prepared for a long time, officially opened.

The path was covered in dust.

Several horses galloped past, startling a flock of birds.

Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, and Luo Mingxuan had already met Tang Lian halfway. The two sides exchanged information and learned that the target of the pursuit and blockade they had been facing was the Lei family's hero banquet.

The Tang Clan intends to make a fuss at the Lei Family's Heroes Banquet and wipe out the entire Lei Clan.

"drive……"

Not far away, on a small hill, three figures watched the group of young men pass by. They did not make any other moves, just letting the mountain breeze blow.

"I didn't expect my father-in-law to come in person, but he doesn't plan to meet them?" Ye Anshi looked at the dust raised by the descent to the mortal world and said faintly, "Although this place is very close to Leijiabao, I have a feeling that they won't be able to return to Leijiabao so smoothly."

Chu Zhao put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly: "Haven't you seen it?"

Ye Anshi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's true, but my father-in-law doesn't seem to be worried at all."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, why worry?" Perhaps the sun was shining brightly today, which made Chu Zhao's tone reveal a bit of laziness: "The people who intercepted them were either from Anhe or sent by the old eunuch Zhuoqing. With Xiao Se's identity, they are not in danger."

Chu Nanyue was originally eating candied haws leisurely. After hearing this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Isn't Eunuch Zhuoqing dead?"

"That old guy is alive and well in the imperial mausoleum. Almost all the old guys in the Xiao family died back then. He is Xiao Ruojin's trump card. How could he die so easily?"

Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Let's go to Leijiabao. We can still have a drink at the Heroes' Banquet."

Speaking of which, he has been to so many places, but the only places he has not been to are Leijiabao and Wang Shuangcheng.

Just right, take this opportunity to take a look.

Chu Nanyue hummed and said with a smile: "If a hero like you, Dad, is not here, the Heroes' Banquet is not really a Heroes' Banquet."

Ye Anshi on the side nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if my father-in-law is not considered a hero, then there are no heroes in this world."

This flattery is... really meaningless.

Chu Zhao grabbed one person in each hand and went straight to Leijiabao. On the way, he saw Xiao Se and others who were intercepted.

Leijiabao is full of guests.

"Master of the Jiangnan Duan Family, Duan Feihong and his disciples are here for the banquet. Please take a seat!"

"Wudang Sect, Master Lingxu and his disciples are here for the banquet. Please take a seat!"

"Yunlin Temple, Zen Master Minghui and his disciples are attending the banquet..."

"Shaolin Temple..."

"Feiyun Pavilion..."

Lei Qianhu stood at the gate of Lei Family Castle with a gentle smile on his face.

He is actually a very calm person and doesn't really like being in the crowds.

In previous years, he had never brought his disciples to attend the Heroes Banquet.

Firstly, he doesn't like the hustle and bustle, and secondly, too many things have happened in the Lei family over the years.

The disciples of Leimen put away their swords and refused to join the army.

But the four heroes of the Lei Clan, Lei Mengsha and Lei Hong, disobeyed their ancestral teachings. One ran away to Tianqi to become a general, and the other learned swordsmanship halfway.

Lei Yunhe did not violate his ancestral teachings, but he challenged Wangcheng Mountain and disappeared afterwards. Everyone thought he was dead.

As for Lei Qianhu, he had fought against the evil sect You Bing and was invaded by cold poison, which damaged his bone marrow.

For all these reasons, the Lei family has already shown signs of decline in the eyes of many people, and is bound to be discussed.

Lei Qianhu naturally had no habit of being criticized by others, so even in recent years, when Lei Family Castle interacted with major families in Jiangnan, it was only done in a superficial way.

Speaking of which, it is not known whether Lei Qianhu is lucky or unlucky to have caught up with the Lei family's most prosperous era, when the Lei family's four heroes are at their peak. However, the other three are unreliable.

Of course, the Thunder Gate is different now.

Today, the Lei family has returned to its peak and is even stronger than in previous years.

If your state of mind is different, you will naturally look at other things differently.

"Master, most of the major families and sects have arrived. Only Xueyue City, Tang Sect, and Wangcheng Mountain have not arrived yet."

Butler Lei Tianhen was also in high spirits today. His talent was not high, and he was destined not to go far in the martial arts.

Over the years, I have worked diligently in the Lei family, but I have some complaints in my heart.

But today, he is happy.

Looking at the Lei family’s full house of guests, the joy on his face could not be concealed at all.

Lei Qianhu nodded: "Wait a little longer."

The Tang Clan had not given any definite answer before the banquet was about to start, and only then did they send someone to say that Old Master Tang would also be there.

To be honest, it’s a bit disrespectful to the Lei family.

However, Lei Qianhu felt that given Mr. Tang's status in the martial arts world, and the feud between the Tang Clan and the Lei Family Fort, it was reasonable for the old man to wait even if he was late.

Wangcheng Mountain...it's understandable that I don't come.

After all, Wangchengshan has always been aloof from the world and has never participated in any hero banquets.

Not to mention, Wang Chengshan had no good feelings towards their Lei family.

Of course, regrets are inevitable.

Let’s not talk about other people for now. Anyway, Lei Qianhu is very grateful to Wangchengshan.

If it weren't for the elixir given by Chu Zhao, he would still be suffering from the cold poison and probably wouldn't survive this winter.

Also, if he had not been the Taoist Sword Immortal, it would have been impossible for his brother Hong to have such enlightenment in one day and enter the realm of Sword Immortal.

As for Xueyue City...now neither Tang Lian, the representative of Xueyue City, nor Lei Wujie are anywhere to be seen.

This inevitably made Lei Qianhu feel a little gloomy.

Just when Lei Tianhen was about to send people to look for Lei Wujie and his group, a young man in purple clothes came over riding a donkey upside down, looking like a man who had never seen the world.

"Oh, Master Tiger, you came out to greet me in person. I feel so embarrassed. Long time no see, Master Tiger."

Lei Qianhu raised the corner of his mouth, but soon his face turned sullen and he slapped him with his backhand.

"Stop talking nonsense here and get out of here."

"Hmm? Master Tiger, how are you?"

The young man dodged Lei Qianhu's slap, jumped off the donkey, and slapped the donkey's butt. The little donkey ran away with a "Oh-ah-oh-ah".

Then, the young man flashed in front of Lei Qianhu, grabbed his wrist, listened to his pulse, and looked surprised and shocked.

It can be seen that Lei Qianhu is very familiar with this young man and did not resist at all.

"Strange, really strange, it actually got better... Master Tiger, you must have met a master."

Lei Qianhu took his hand back and said with a smile: "I really met a master. I am in great shape now. But you, I really didn't expect you to come."

"If it was any other family, it would be fine, but since Master Hu is hosting this hero banquet, how dare our Wen family not come? We are also afraid that Master Lei will make things difficult for our Wen family."

Lord Lei, also known as Lei Wujie’s uncle, Lei Mengchen.

Now he is in charge of Lingnan.

However, the boy's words were obviously a joke. After all, compared to the giant Wen family, Lei Mengchen was not good enough.

"Stop talking bullshit and get in there."

"Okay, Master Tiger. By the way, Master Tiger, don't forget to introduce that master to me later. It's really strange that the cold poison in your body, which even my master couldn't cure, was actually cured."

Lei Tianhen, who was standing by, looked at the young man with some curiosity: "Master, who is this?"

Before Lei Qianhu could speak, the young man had already hopped into the door.

He cupped his fists towards the people around him and said with a loud laugh, "Wen Liang, the old-fashioned Wen family in Lingnan, is here to attend the banquet."

As soon as he said this, the other guests were instantly in an uproar and hurriedly moved away from him, making Wen Liang quite embarrassed.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. My old man said that everyone in our Wen family is poisonous. If they come, I'm afraid no one will dare to eat vegetables.

But this year's Heroes Banquet is different, this year it is hosted by Lord Tiger, as the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, our Wen family will naturally come to support, and I am just a little poisonous creature, not that poisonous. "Although he said so, everyone still looked daunted.

Although the old Lingnan family Wen has become increasingly low-key in recent years, to the point where its disciples no longer roam the world, this does not prevent the Wen family from becoming more and more famous.

You know, the eldest daughter of the Wen family is now the queen of the Chu State.

To take a step back, even without mentioning the powerful backing of the State of Chu, just the poison techniques of the Wen family are enough to make people very wary.

The story of Wen family patriarch Wen Hujiu, who poisoned an entire city by himself, is still a popular story even now.

When it comes to using poison, the Wen family is the best in the world.

The representative sent by the Wen family is definitely not an ordinary person even though he looks young.

"This year's Heroes Banquet is much more lively than previous years. Even the Wen family is here."

"That's right. The Lei family is really very prestigious. I heard that Lei Hong has already achieved the realm of Sword Immortal. No wonder so many people give him face."

"Speaking of which, I heard that the Lei family has invited Wangchengshan and the guy from Chu State, but I wonder if that guy will come? If that guy comes, the Lei family will be very proud."

As they were talking, everyone heard a clear laugh that reached everyone's ears.

"Chu Zhao from Wangcheng Mountain, I am here upon invitation. Master Lei, I am not too late."

what?
Chu Zhao actually came!

Or are you here on behalf of Wangcheng Mountain? !

Everyone was shocked and rushed outside.

Lei Qianhu was shocked when he saw the three people coming.

When he saw Chu Zhao for the first time, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not an impersonator.

This is a mysterious feeling that cannot be described in words.

So, Lei Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Master Chu is here in person. Qianhu is sorry for not coming to greet you from afar. How rude and impolite."

But before Lei Qianhu could bow down, he felt a gentle force lifting him up.

"Master Lei, you don't have to be so polite. Or did Leimen send me an invitation to Wangcheng Mountain just to be polite and didn't intend for me to come and drink this glass of wine?"

Lei Qianhu was stunned, and when he saw Chu Zhao's mischievous smile, he smiled bitterly and said, "How dare Qianhu, please come and invite me, Master."

"No hurry, I brought two more people with me. Let me introduce them to you, my daughter and son-in-law."

Although Chu Nanyue doesn't follow the rules in daily life, she is still very graceful in formal occasions.

"Chu Nanyue of Chu State, greetings to Patriarch Lei."

“It turned out to be the little gambling king in person, Lei Qianhu is polite.”

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Ye Anshi stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I am Ye Anshi, a disciple of Master Wangyou of Hanshui Temple. I greet Master Lei. Master Lei, please don't be offended for coming here uninvited."

Hearing this, the people who had hurried out began to discuss in a low voice.

"Master Wangyou's disciple?"

“Hiss, he is Ye Anshi from the Heaven Beyond Heaven?”

"Hasn't he gone back? How dare the people from the Demon Cult show up in my Beili?"

"Shut up, didn't you hear that it was the Prince Consort of Chu who came on behalf of Hanshui Temple?!"

Although everyone is well aware of the current situation of Hanshui Temple, the great Zen master Wangyou is no longer here, so Hanshui Temple is completely not worthy of their attention.

But today, Chu Zhao endorsed that Ye Anshi was his son-in-law, so Ye Anshi said that he was a disciple of Hanshui Temple. Even if the king of heaven came, he could not say no.

What's more, Master Wangyou has a very good reputation in the world, and everyone admires him sincerely.

Although he is no longer with us, no one present would jump out and call Ye Anshi a member of the Demon Cult, whether for the sake of Master Wangyou's face or for the face of the Supreme Emperor of Chu and the number one immortal in the world.

That's not bravery, that's stupidity, it's asking for trouble!

Lei Qianhu smiled and said, "So you are Master Wangyou's disciple. Our Lei Family Castle welcomes you very much. I heard from Lei Wujie in his letter before that since Master Ye is his friend, he is also a friend of our Lei Family Castle."

Ye Anshi smiled, took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Lei Qianhu: "I heard before that Master Lei was poisoned by a cold. Of course, it must have been cleared now. This contains elixirs for strengthening the body. I don't have anything valuable, so this will be considered a gift."

Lei Qianhu was stunned for a moment, thanked him sincerely, and then extended his hand.

"Don't stand outside. Three distinguished guests, please come in quickly."

Just as everyone was walking in, thunder exploded in the sky above the Lei family.

The thunder cloud crane descended from the sky, carrying thunder all over the sky.

But the thunder was not explosive, instead it was like fireworks blooming in the sky above Leijiabao.

The momentum is amazing!

"This is……"

"Lei Yunhe, it was rumored that he had been missing for a long time. I didn't expect that he had been in Lei Family Castle all along."

"This strength... is quite astonishing!"

Hearing everyone's whispers, Chu Zhao's heart moved. Lei Yunhe seemed to want to show off his power in front of everyone.

He did not expose it. After all, today was indeed a good day for Leijiabao to show off its power.

only……

Thinking of the Tang Sect putting drugs in the drinks, Chu Zhao whispered a few words to Lei Qianhu, which made Lei Qianhu's face change drastically. He bowed his hands imperceptibly to express his gratitude, and quietly went to the backyard with Lei Tianhen.

At the same time, Lei Yunhe also laughed and walked forward, bowing to Chu Zhao.

"It is truly an honor for our humble home to have you here in person."

Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Thunder magic does not always pursue violence. Compared to the last time I saw you, you are much calmer now. Have you been to Longhu Mountain?"

Although Lei Yunhe's realm was suppressed by Chu Ye's true meaning of thunder magic and he had no hope of being free and easy in this life, but obtaining the true meaning of thunder magic would also be beneficial to his practice of thunder magic.

Just because one’s realm cannot be improved does not mean one cannot improve one’s combat power.

In terms of combat capability, he is only stronger than during his peak period.

"Thank you very much for your advice, Master. Please come in."

Chu Zhao's arrival instantly made him the focus of the entire audience.

Everyone came forward to greet him, and Chu Zhao did not put on airs. He returned the greetings one by one and exchanged pleasantries.

Seeing that Lei Yunhe was about to lose his temper, everyone dispersed with a lingering feeling.

But there was one person who did not leave, and that was Wen Liang.

Master warms up a pot of wine, Baili Dongjun’s uncle.

Although he is young, he is quite senior in the Wen family.

However, I still have to shout to Chu Zhao.

"Young Master, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Before Chu Zhao could speak, Chu Nanyue smiled and said, "Why, Xiao Liangzi, from what you said, my father can't come?"

Wen Liang had also lived in Yuelu in his early years, so he was no stranger to Chu Nanyue. He said with a smile, "Sister Yue, can you please stop calling me Xiao Liangzi? It sounds like a eunuch."

"Okay, little Liangzi."

Wen Liang: “…”

"That's enough. You don't act like a sister." Chu Zhao scolded his daughter with a smile, then turned to look at Wen Liang: "Brother Wen and the others are all right?"

"Thank you for your concern, young master. Old Master and his family are doing very well, they are eating well and in good health." Wen Liang smiled and said, "When I left, he was still chasing after Xiao Anzi and beating him up, saying that he wanted to send him to Yuelu to be disciplined by the master."

Xiao Anzi is Wenhujiu’s youngest son. He is only seven years old this year, which is the age when people hate him.

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Xiao Anzi is old enough to go to school. Although the Wen family's specialty is poison, it won't hurt to read more books."

"Master Chu makes sense." Lei Yunhe interrupted, "By the way, can Yuelu Academy give us some places at Leijiabao?"

"Huh? Aren't you afraid that your Leimen disciples will go to Chu State and not come back?" Chu Zhao joked.

Lei Yunhe smiled, but before he could say anything, he saw a disciple of Leimen rushing over.

The person whispered to him for a while, Lei Yunhe's face changed, and then returned to normal.

"Master Chu, you guys chat first. We in the Lei family have some urgent matters to deal with. I'll excuse myself for now."

Chu Zhao waved his hand: "It's okay, go and do your thing, don't bother with me."
