For a moment, Xia Xi couldn't help but turn his attention to Su Xuebo to see what he said.
Su Xuebo's face didn't look very good at this time. It would be fine if Bei Bo came here to celebrate his birthday sincerely, but looking at the gift he sent, it was clear that he had bad intentions. In normal times, Sang Yuwen's behavior was simply seeking death, but today This day is somewhat unusual.
After a slight hesitation, Su Xuebo sent a message to Xia Xi: "Your Highness, today is my father's birthday. It is not appropriate to see blood. Let's let this guy go for now."
Now that Su Xuebo had spoken, Xia Xi naturally wanted to betray his reputation. He nodded and said to his followers: "Step back and let him live for now."
Sang Yuwen was relieved when he heard this. He finally didn't lose his life as soon as they met. Since Xia Xi didn't kill him immediately, he should be safe next.
Although there was such a small episode, the birthday banquet was still going on in an orderly manner. Xia Xi went to the inner hall to visit Su Hexuan, while Sang Yuwen was sitting alone in the lobby, and no one dared to approach him.
Although Xia Xi did not directly order Sang Yuwen to be killed (wan-shu-ba).nsb., he sent many people to keep an eye on him. Now is the tense period between Bei Boruo and the Kowloon Dynasty. , in the realm of the Kowloon Dynasty, no one would get close to Sang Yuwentiao at this time, it would simply make himself uncomfortable. Time passed little by little, and there was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate the birthday. Soon it was noon, and almost everyone who should be there had arrived.
At this time, Su Hexuan finally showed up, wearing a red robe and looking very energetic. Although his beard and hair are all white, he appears to be old and strong.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, Su Hexuan cupped his hands in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you all for remembering me, old man. This birthday banquet is to mobilize teachers and mobilize people. This is not my original intention."
A branch hall master of Baicao Hall laughed and said: "What did the hall master say? You haven't held a birthday banquet for many years. Brothers have always wanted to come to the hall master to wish you a birthday. This time we finally got it." Chance."
"Yes, yes, how many birthdays can this person have in his life? Mr. Su won't do it this time. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't have the chance in the future?" An untimely voice rang, and besides Sang Yuwen, there were also Who else? As soon as he said this. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. What this means. Isn't he cursing Su Hexuan to death
Su Xuebo stared at Sang Yuwen with an unkind expression and said, "Elder Sang, I, Baicaotang, have no grudges against you, Beibo. I wonder what you mean by provoking me again and again?" Sang Yuwen was stunned for a moment, and then asked. He patted himself on the head and said with a smile: "Look at me, I just can't speak. Alas, I told you a long time ago, don't send me to celebrate your birthday. Don't you think this is a mistake again? The birthday gifts you sent before are all I made the choice on my own, and I just found out that I violated Baicao Hall's taboo, Brother Su and Old Hall Master Su, please don't blame me."
Su Xuebo was about to speak again, but Su Hexuan showed a smile and said: "It's an unintentional mistake. It's not an exaggeration. Elder Sang doesn't need to take it to heart. Being able to wish the old man a birthday is already the kindness of Beiboruo Temple. "
This time, not only everyone present was a little surprised, but even Sang Yuwen was a little confused. Is this old man Su so broad-minded? He was clearly making trouble, but there was no sign of anger. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, but he had attracted a lot of attention, and the task was almost completed.
Xia Xi had been watching Sang Yuwen's actions with a cold eye. At this moment, one of his followers hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. When Xia Xi heard this, he was suddenly startled and stood up!
This time he came in place of Xia Qi. In terms of status, he was undoubtedly the most distinguished one among everyone present. His action attracted countless eyes.
Xia Xi stared at Sang Yuwen coldly and said: "Sang Yuwen, you Beiburuo are so brave! Since you dare to come to Dongtai City at this time, you must have been prepared to die. , then I will fulfill your wish!"
Seeing Xia Xi suddenly showing his murderous intent, Su Hexuan couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what happened?"
"Just now, Bei Boruo suddenly launched an attack on our dynasty. Not only were the cities in the territory attacked, they actually dared to attack the imperial city. Now all the powerful Taixu Realm experts in the dynasty have taken action!" Xia Xi Lengjing made a sound, and then he raised his fist towards Su Hexuan and said: "Mr. Su, today is your old birthday banquet. You shouldn't go on a killing spree. But if Bei Boruo acted too much and was too abrupt, he still couldn't do it." Please Haihan, come here and capture Sang Yuwen for me!"
A wonderful birthday banquet suddenly became tense. Several of Xia Xi's followers were already eager to give it a try. After receiving the order, they immediately rushed out. But at this moment, a loud shout rang out from the door: "Stop! Whoever dares to take action will kill her!"
I saw several warriors filing in from the door. The first one held a long knife on the neck of a slim woman. He could kill her immediately with just a slight swing.
Seeing the woman held hostage by the warrior, everyone at the birthday banquet couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss Su?"
The kidnapped woman's hair was a little messy, but judging from her appearance, she was clearly Su Ye!
"Ye'er, what are you doing?" Su Hexuan was also a little surprised and asked repeatedly.
Su Ye looked pitiful and cried, "Grandpa, I'm being held hostage by people from Bei Boruo, please save me."
"Your Highness, what should I do?" One of Xia Xi's followers couldn't help but ask, not daring to act rashly for a while.
Xia Xi frowned slightly and whispered: "Let's wait and see, something seems to be wrong."
Then the man who held Su Ye hostage laughed and said: "Mr. Su, although I am a stranger to you, I have admired your name for a long time. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Hailin, a lay disciple of Beibo Ruo Temple. .”
Su Hexuan snorted coldly and said: "You have admired your name for so long, and you want to hold my granddaughter hostage?"
"I have no choice. I want to ask you for a favor, but I'm worried that you won't cooperate, so I can only aggrieve Miss Su first." Wang Hailin said with a smile.
"What do you want?" Su Hexuan frowned slightly.
Wang Hailin raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Su, don't you think that the status of Baicao Hall is a bit too transcendent in Zhongzhou? He has mastered the source of most of the elixirs, so that the major forces do not dare to offend Baicao Hall too much. But Baicaotang is just a third-grade force."
"It seems that Baicao Hall never fails to give gifts to Bei Boruo every year, right? The amount of pills provided for free every year is already of huge value."
Wang Hailin chuckled: "Of course we have this, but it's a pity that it's not enough. If there are so many people in Beibo, how can we get enough elixirs? So we think it's better to keep Baicaotang in our own hands. , this way we can be self-sufficient, what do you think, Old Hall Master Su?"
Hearing this, Xia Xi already understood and suddenly said: "It turns out that your real target is Baicao Hall!"
He is not stupid. The reason why Bei Boruo attacked the Kowloon Dynasty without any warning or reason was just to contain them, and their real target was Baicaotang.
"The fourth prince is really smart, but unfortunately, he seems to understand a little late." Wang Hailin glanced at Xia Xi and smiled, then looked at Su Hexuan again and said: "If the old hall master Su is willing to take Baicao Hall and invest in our Beibo Ruo If the disciples of the sect take me as the master, Bei Boruo, then everyone will naturally be happy. What do you think, Old Hall Master Su?"...
Unexpectedly, Su Hexuan laughed loudly and said: "With your strength in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm, do you dare to come here to make such a request?"
Wang Hailin's eyes turned cold, he pressed the knife in his hand down again, and said in a cold voice: "Old Hall Master Su, don't you think about it more? It would be a pity if Miss Su, such a beautiful woman like a flower, dies like this."
"Grandpa, I don't want to die, please help me." Su Ye quickly called for help.
A trace of kindness flashed in Su Hexuan's eyes and he said: "Good boy, if you die for Baicaotang, your death will be considered worthy. You can go with peace of mind, grandpa will remember you."
Hearing his words, Wang Hailin couldn't help but be startled. Didn't it mean that Su Hexuan loved Su Ye very much? There is even the idea of passing the position of hall master to Su Ye. Why do you not care so much about Su Ye's life and death now
Su Hexuan did not give Wang Hailin any room to think, and shouted loudly: "All members of Baicao Hall obey the order, and all future offenders will be killed!"
"Yes!" Voices rang out one after another, but the number of people seemed to be smaller. Nearly half of the people in Baicao Hall did not respond to Su Hexuan's order.
A branch leader of Baicao Hall didn't think much at all. Even though he picked up his weapon and rushed towards Wang Hailin, before he could take two steps, someone beside him suddenly took action and stopped him.
He couldn't help but said angrily: "Lu Xiucheng, are you confused? Why are you stopping me?"
The person who stopped him was also a branch leader of Baicao Hall! And such a scene not only happened in one place, but in the entire lobby, many people in Baicaotang were all fighting among themselves. Those who took orders from Su Hexuan had no time to attack Wang Hailin, and they had already been killed by "one of their own" Stop it.
Wang Hailin laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Su, did you see it? Although you don't agree, it seems that your subordinates all agree with my opinion."
Su Hexuan glanced at everyone and nodded slightly: "I didn't expect that you managed to win over nearly half of the people in my Baicao Hall through coercion and inducement. It seems that you have been planning for a long time, right?"
"For Baicao Hall, all this is worth it. How about it, Hall Master Su, is it time to consider my proposal now?" Wang Hailin looked like he was sure of winning, although it seemed that Su Hexuan didn't care much about Su Ye's life and death. But it doesn't matter, this is not their trump card to begin with. With nearly half of the rebel branch leaders, plus their hidden undercover, it's enough! If Beibo uses such a large force this time, he will definitely take down Baicaotang!
