Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 33
Which is more serious, accusation or beating?

Those who have never been beaten think that being accused by others will surely end without a problem.

Those who have been beaten know very well that as long as they are thick-skinned, accusations will only be made by themselves.

But if you beat a thousand people, you will definitely die, and if you get beaten by ten people, you will die.

So when Xue Na said that someone was going to beat him, Li Qinzai was inexplicably surprised.

Then Li Qinzai began to quickly reflect on his recent actions to see if he had done anything that deserved a beating.

After much deliberation, only the time when Zheng Feng praised his father for chasing the sun was considered out of line, but it was also for revenge, and innocent people were not involved.

So, why did I become the dungeon boss that the rich and powerful children of Chang'an City must fight?

Could it be the predecessor's fault again?

"Why did they beat me? I made their mother-in-law's stomach big?" Li Qinzai said anxiously but forced himself to be calm.

Xue Na was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "That's not true, brother Jingchu is too confident..."

This sentence was a bit shocking. Thinking of his urine turning yellow recently, Li Qinzai felt that he had no confidence to refute.

Xue Na smiled and sighed: "Brother Rijingchu made a sharp weapon a few days ago. I heard it is called the 'God Arm Bow'. This thing is very sharp. The military supervisor is working day and night to make it..."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has a decree that this item must be kept secret before it is equipped in the army. It will only be made public after the autumn when the king's army conquers the nine surnames of Tie Le. Few people in Chang'an City know about this item, except for those old generals. with my father..."

Li Qinzai frowned: "Have you always been so out of tune before? Let's talk about the main point. I made the things and dedicated them to the emperor. The rest is none of my business. I only care about why others want to beat me."

Xue Na sighed: "This matter is related to the God Arm Bow. Several old generals have seen the God Arm Bow, and they praised Brother Jing Chu even more. After returning, they praised Brother Jing Chu in front of their children and grandchildren... ..."

Li Qinzai suddenly realized that he had become someone else's child.

"So those bastards from powerful families hate me out of jealousy?"

Xue Na wryly smiled and said, "That's not the case. Being reprimanded by elders and comparing other people's children is something we've been used to since we were young. It's just the east wind passing through the horse's ears."

"But this time, the old generals did a little too much. After praising Brother Jing Chu, they beat up their own children without saying a word."

Xue Na glanced at him faintly, and said in a low voice: "My foolish brother can't escape bad luck, he was carried into the yard by my father for no reason yesterday, he beat me to crawl all over the ground, I don't know the reason after the beating..."

"Later, I heard old General Su Dingfang say that he slipped his tongue, saying that the boy of the Li family was often beaten by his father, and suddenly became smart after being beaten, so he made such a powerful weapon of the country as the God Arm Bow, old generals After summing up the reasons, the child needs to be beaten more, otherwise he will not be successful."

Xue Na looked sad, and said: "Brother Jingchu is really smart, who are we young generals to provoke? The number of times the rich and powerful children in Chang'an City have been beaten has increased significantly recently, and all of them have bruised noses and swollen faces when they go out... "

"Brother Jing Chu, don't blame them for wanting to beat you. After all, you are the chief culprit. If Brother Yu and Brother Jing Chu have been bosom friends for many years, Brother Yu might not be able to bear it..."

Li Qinzai remained expressionless and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "Come here, tell the accountant that there is no need to withdraw the twenty pennies!"

Xue Na was shocked, and hurriedly got up to make amends: "Brother Jingchu, be merciful! Brother Yu is wrong, what I mean is, whoever dares to beat Brother Jingchu is the enemy of Brother Yu's life and death, and I will get rid of it soon!"

Li Qinzai felt at ease now.

Facts have proved that wielding the big stick of economic sanctions is applicable to all ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries alike.

It's just that Li Qinzai didn't expect that he unintentionally became the public enemy of Chang'an dudes.

Xue Na looked at him worriedly, and said: "Brother Jing Chu, you should avoid the limelight recently, those bastards are all the sons of the princes of Chang'an City, they are not afraid of Brother Jing Chu's identity, if they meet, they really dare to beat you yours."

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't go out anytime soon, just pretend I'm afraid of them."

Xue Na said in astonishment, "Brother Jingchu, are you really scared?"

Li Qinzai sighed, "I'm not afraid of them, but trouble..."

Adults only look at the pros and cons, especially those who have lived two lives, and they will not be impulsive like a passionate young man.

No interest involved, no beauty disputes, no reason to fight, it is very naive, Li Qinzai has no interest in dealing with those bastards at all.

If he could avoid these troubles by not going out, Li Qinzai would not mind being an otaku.

After all, the Li family mansion has everything, food, drink, and small health care.

But what Li Qinzai didn't expect was that he avoided the trouble, but the trouble came to him on its own initiative.

The two were eating barbecue and drinking grape wine in the backyard when the butler Wu Tong hurried over.

After meeting and saluting, Wu Tong said in a low voice: "Wu Shaolang, someone came to deliver an invitation card. Tonight at two o'clock in the unitary hour, I invite you to a banquet in Cuiyuan, Anrenfang."

"Who entertained me?"

Wu Tongdao: "Grandson of Lord Shen, Gao Qi."

Li Qinzai blinked and turned to look at Xue Na.

Xue Na knew that Li Qinzai was disabled and lost his memory, so he explained: "Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, died in Zhenguan in 21. His grandson Gaoqi is the son of Gao Zhenxing, the fourth wife of the Gao family."

Li Qinzai clicked his tongue and said, "This name is really immodest, Gao Zhen is good at it, he is really good at it..."

Xue Na sighed: "Brother Jing Chu doesn't want to fight for nothing, but he won't let you go. Gao Qi is one of those who want to beat Brother Jing Chu in Chang'an City, and he is the one who dances the most. This This invitation is full of murderous intent, it is clearly a Hongmen banquet, brother Jingchu must not attend the banquet."

Li Qinzai hummed.

In terms of status, both he and Gao Qi's grandfather are famous ministers, and they are both one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Although Gao Shilian is dead, the weight of the Gao family is still there. Gao Qi really has no reason to be afraid of him. .

What Li Qinzai was curious about was how much Gao Qi had been beaten by his elders, and how much resentment he had for him, he took the initiative to host a banquet and call him out to beat him up.

The playboys of this era are really too idle.

Turning his head to look at Wu Tong, Li Qinzai said: "Send someone to tell Gao Qi, and say that I agree, and I will happily go to the banquet tonight."

Wu Tong didn't know what was going on, so he turned around and went to spread the word.

Xue Na was stunned and said, "Brother Jingchu is really going?"

Li Qinzai rolled his eyes and ignored him.

…………

As night fell, until late at night, the streets of Chang'an gradually changed from noisy to silent.

The streets and alleys are completely silent, only the sound of footsteps of Marquis Wu and soldiers patrolling the streets, and dogs barking from time to time in the dark night.

Inside a restaurant called "Jade Garden" in Anrenfang.

The drinkers in the building had already dispersed, the shopkeeper and a few clerks tried their best to stand cautiously outside an Accord.

On the main seat in the Accord, sat a young man in a brocade robe, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a gloomy face and dark eyes.

This person is the host of tonight's banquet, Gao Qi, grandson of Duke Shen.

Beside him were a few young men who also wore brocade robes, and from their demeanors, it could be seen that they were also the prodigal sons of rich and powerful families.

There was the sound of a watch on the street. It was already three o'clock in the middle of the day, that is, it was past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

From seven o'clock to eleven o'clock at night, the damn British grandson still didn't even see a shadow.

The spirits of the dandies have long since changed from murderous to sluggish, like a group of defeated troops who have been counter-killed, sitting at the table dejectedly, and some even began to doze off.

Well, although these few people have bad conduct, their routines are undoubtedly very healthy.

No one spoke in Accord for a long time.

After the unbearable silence, someone finally couldn't help it.

A dandy looked at Gao Qi with a livid face, and said cautiously: "Brother Gao, Li Qinzai, that bastard probably won't come..."

Another dandy nodded, gritted his teeth angrily, and said, "I never thought that the grandson of the British Duke would be a shameless and trustless person, and dare to renege on his promise!"

In the Accord, all the dandies were in a state of despondency.

He broke the appointment lightly, and it's a pity that this group of dandies have waited so stupidly until now, their high morale has been blown to pieces by that evil beast.
