Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 10, Chen Pingping's invitation, Liu Hong's version of the Hongmen Banquet
At the poetry gathering at Prince Jing's Mansion, as expected, Fan Xian stood up high and slapped everyone in the face with one hand.

What was surprising was that Guo Baokun's best lackey, He Zongwei, was absent for some unknown reason.

With the gold-devouring behemoth Zuixianju, Liu Hong's team has basically expanded to more than 800 people.

In Nanqing’s military system, 1,200 men constitute a battalion.

Liu Hong can be called a captain.

Versace was grateful to Liu Hong for coming to his rescue in time and not letting him embarrass himself too much last time.

The Danbo Bookstore, which had just been established by the Fan family, was also handed over to Liu Hong to manage.

Everything seemed to be going well, even Liu Hong thought so.

Just a letter shattered Liu Hong's beautiful fantasy.

The letter from the Supervisory Yuan was engraved with the highest secret order and was written by Chen Pingping himself.

Chen Pingping said in a very tactful tone that he was delighted to see such a talented young man like Liu Hong and wanted to get to know him.

Inside the courtyard, candlelight flickered dimly, emitting an eerie light.

More than twenty pirate brothers looked nervous.

Fatty Lu was the first to speak in a loud voice.

"Brother, you can't go! Didn't Chen Pingping want to kill you because he was afraid of you controlling more than 800 rangers in Kyoto?"

Liu Hong rolled his eyes and ignored Fatty Lu.

Other pirates, Er Gouzi, Gousheng and other guys also tried to persuade them.

"Yes, big brother, we have people with weapons in Kyoto now, so what can we do if we don't go! How many people does the Overwatch Council have in Kyoto?"

These words were even more explosive.

People who don’t know would think that Liu Hong is now qualified to compete with the Supervisory Yuan!

"My Lord, I think you must go!"

The simple young scholar covered his sleeves and bowed.

This guy's name is Shi Chanli. A few days ago, he ate at the noodle stall controlled by Liu Hong, but he couldn't pay.

Seeing that this guy behaved in a gentle and polite manner, Liu Hong helped pay the bill, as if he was doing himself a favor.

I didn't expect to pick up such a treasure! I got one of the four disciples after Fan Xian.

Hearing Shi Chanli's words, the bandits glared at him angrily.

Isn't this obviously a way to commit suicide?
A slight smile appeared on Liu Hong's face.

"continue……"

"Sir, if Dean Chen wants to kill you, what's the point of you hiding in Kyoto?"

Just a few simple words left many pirates speechless.

This is true!

Liu Hong has 800 people under his command, and he only needs to ask all the members of any department of the Supervisory Commission to wear armor.

Then Liu Hong can be completely eliminated without leaving any trace.

What's more, Chen Pingping still has the Black Knight in his hands.

These are heavy cavalrymen with average strength of rank six or seven per person, fully armed and known as the strongest army in the world.

Liu Hong gently put the letter into his arms, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Is this the fate of the Liu family? Even in the world of Joy of Life, they have to enjoy the Hongmen Banquet treatment.

"Er Gouzi, Gousheng, you two should accompany me this time."

Liu Hong began to call out names and took away two of his trusted aides.

Fatty Lu muttered, and was about to say that he also wanted to go with Liu Hong.

But he was stopped by Liu Hong's murderous gaze.

Shi Chanli stood quietly there, his temperament was out of place among the many pirates.

Seeing Liu Hong's arrangement, a smile appeared on his face.

As expected, the person Liu Hong trusted the most was his brother Lu Ci.

They also took away Ergouzi and Gousheng, two influential bandits.

Liu Hong was afraid that something unexpected would happen to him and Fatty Lu would not be able to handle the situation.

Everything was arranged, and the next morning, Liu Hong led his men to leave Kyoto.

I can only say that Kyoto is worthy of being Kyoto. It costs money to enter and leave the city.

As soon as they arrived at the post station outside Kyoto, twenty black knights, under the whistling war flags, held their heads high and rode their horses in place, motionless.

Liu Hong looked jealous.

When will I be able to build a strong army like the Black Cavalry? The Black Cavalry remained silent, and after seeing the letter Liu Hong took out, they surrounded Liu Hong.

The leading black knight began to lead the way.

Liu Hong was quite flustered at first, but as he walked a while, he was no longer so flustered.

After all, there are still a lot of people coming and going, and the population is not that sparse.

It seems that he didn't just find a quiet corner to kill Liu Hong.

But Liu Hong did not expect that Chen Pingping, the president of the Supervisory Yuan, was one of the three most important officials in the court.

She was actually waiting for him in Chen Yuan.

Chenyuan is Ye Qingmei's ideal utopian place where everyone is equal.

Chen Pingping would not let just anyone in, so he invited Liu Hong, the leader of the Kyoto gangs. The meaning behind this is intriguing.

On the dance pavilion and singing stage, countless beautiful women twisted their graceful bodies and danced gracefully.

Even in Qing Kingdom, Chen Pingping, the king of spies, is enough to make babies cry.

At this moment, he was wearing red clothes, with a peaceful look on his face, greeting a group of beauties.

Looks like a flashy old man.

When Chen Pingping saw Liu Hong coming, his eyes lit up and he waved slightly.

"Come, sit down..."

Although Chen Pingping did not show any malicious intent, the prestige he had accumulated from his high position and power over the years still pressed down on Liu Hong like a mountain or sea.

Liu Hong took a deep breath and tried to calm his heartbeat.

Slowly coming in front of Chen Pingping, a young girl laughed at Liu Hong and brought a stool.

Chen Pingping just looked at the girl lovingly and didn't say much.

"You already have over 800 thugs in Kyoto. I hope the number doesn't exceed 1,000."

It wasn't as polite and subtle as I had imagined.

Chen Pingping spoke calmly, went straight into the topic.

Liu Hong smiled bitterly.

There was such a huge gap in status between the two parties, how could Chen Pingping be polite to Liu Hong?

It's not Fan Xian...

Liu Hong nodded and was extremely well behaved.

Chen Pingping suddenly chuckled.

"Liu Hong lost both his parents when he was five, and was adopted by Lu Ci's parents. When he was twelve, Lu Ci's parents were killed by pirates."

"So you were holding a knife, covered in blood, and brought a 10-year-old fat kid with you. You broke into the bandit camp, were appreciated by the bandit leader, and survived."

Chen Pingping spoke quietly, reciting Liu Hong's life story.

Liu Hong also listened quietly. He knew that his every move could not be hidden from the Supervisory Commission.

"You are quite capable. In just three years, at the young age of fifteen, you became the leader of the bandit camp and expanded the camp to more than two hundred people."

"But it's a pity..."

Chen Pingping shook his head and looked at Liu Hong who was always humble.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you? You are so brave that you dare to gather all the gangsters in Kyoto together."

Liu Hong broke out in a cold sweat.

I originally thought that under the protection of the Fan family and the Second Prince, the Supervisory Council would just turn a blind eye to this matter.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pingping seemed to have noticed something.

He is worthy of being an old fox who can compete with Emperor Qing. He is so awesome.

Liu Hong secretly regretted that he should not think that he could look down on all the heroes in the world just because he was a time traveler.

"But I like your management style. At least the people of Kyoto have more smiles on their faces."

Chen Pingping turned around, lay on the reclining chair, and changed his posture comfortably.

"You look a bit like an old friend of mine, so you can survive for now."

"But you definitely can't stay in Kyoto for three months. You have to leave! How about the border?"

Liu Hong smiled bitterly. Is there any room for negotiation?

I could only bow and thank Chen Pingping for his kindness.

Chen Pingping waved his hand, signaling Liu Hong to go out.

Chen Pingping was already in a good mood to be able to talk so much with a gang leader.
