Since the poet Li Bai became famous all over the world, restaurants named Taibailou can be seen everywhere in the Central Plains, regardless of whether Li Taibai has actually been to the local area and has drunk wine there. Anyway, as far as Li Ling knows, Suizhou and Li Bai really have nothing to do with each other, but it still does not prevent Taibailou from being here, and it is the most famous and luxurious restaurant in the city.

Although the people in the city have not yet come out of the famine, many people are still satisfied with just asking for a full meal, but this still does not prevent the business of Taibailou from prospering. The genius is getting dark, and many cars and horses have already stopped in the square outside the building. The shopkeepers and shopkeepers are even more busy, welcome and send them to the guests and guests, and bring them to the table like flowing water, and send them to the private rooms everywhere.

What is different from usual is that the third floor of Taibai Building today no longer receives other guests because it has been packed up for the entire floor by someone. At this time, many guests have sat in separate tables, waiting for the real host and guest to arrive. As the owner of this place today, Hu Yuanjue did not accompany others on the third floor, but ran out of the building early to wait for the most important person to appear.

It was not until halfway through the You hour and it was completely dark that he saw a team of cavalry coming slowly. Under the reflection of torches and lanterns in front, Li Ling became more and more extraordinary. Seeing this, Hu Yuanjue quickly smiled and strode towards him: "Mr. Li is a believer. It really makes the villain flattered to come to this day's banquet."

"Haha, Mr. Hu, you are so serious. Since you are willing to join me, I should give you this face. What's more, there is a banquet to eat, so how could I miss it?" Li Ling stopped with a smile, then fell to the ground neatly. After handing the reins to the kiss behind him, he followed a few guards and strode towards the restaurant gate.

Seeing this, Hu Yuanjue quickly took another step forward, led them into the restaurant, and climbed the stairs to the third floor. Before entering the fully opened private room, he coughed softly: "Mr. Li is here."

With this reminder, the hall, which was already a little noisy, suddenly became quiet. When Li Ling entered the door, he saw everyone getting up and looking at him. After seeing him, he bent down and saluted and said in unison: "I have seen Lord Li." Just looking at this attitude really makes people feel very comfortable.

"Don't be too polite for everyone. It's not the government here, so relax. Since I'm here, I'm here to make friends with you." Li Ling didn't see any airs, greeted them with a smile, and was then led to the top of the host and guest position.

It was not until he sat down and signaled again that everyone sat down. Then Hu Yuanjue said a few words of scenes and thanked Li Ling for coming, and introduced everyone to him to meet. In addition to the people from the Hu family, some of the guests who attended the meeting were also businessmen who depended on the Hu family on weekdays. At this time, they were very respectful and polite to Hu Yuanjue and Li Ling. While they were greeting frequently, they also raised their glasses and drank the wine, and did not mean to let Li Ling drink with him.

Li Ling was quite used to such social engagements. At this time, he seemed to have no airs. While talking and laughing at them, he also tactfully stated that he would take care of Hu Yuanjue and told them to obey his arrangements. These words made everyone feel more at ease and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more warm.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Hu Yuanjue became more and more excited and said more: "Everyone, you can always believe what I say is true, right? Lord Li is an imperial envoy from the capital. His identity is already valuable, so he naturally has nothing to say. Since he is willing to protect us, we can rest assured next. As long as we follow me... no, you don't have to worry about anything. Fifteenth brother, are you right?"

The one he deliberately pointed out was a young man with a slightly immature appearance. This question made him a little strange. After he stammering for a while, he said: "What the fourth brother said is that I was too timid before. Now it seems that with Lord Li as a guarantee, we will naturally not be afraid of anything else."

"Haha, Lord Li, you don't know anything. My fifteenth brother Hu Shenjue is the most loyal to the family. When I said I would follow you, he was quite complaining. But now, I have seen the good situation in Suizhou and have this guarantee from you. When he returns to Wuchang, he will definitely help me persuade my family and join the disciples of the adults. Fifteenth brother, do you think so?" Hu Yuanjue was indeed drunk a little, and he spoke a little without any scruples. He even spoke out some of his brother's feelings.

Sure enough, Hu Shenjue's expression changed with his words, but under such circumstances, he could only bear it and smiled and said with apologies: "Fourth Brother, what you said is that I am short-sighted. Lord Li is a villain who is too stupid. Today I know the day before yesterday. I hope you don't care..." As he said that, he solemnly stood up and apologized.

Li Ling didn't care about this and waved his hand with a smile and said, "You don't have to worry about it. It's normal for people to have selfish thoughts. As long as you don't really do something wrong, I won't care. Besides, you have turned back to the right this time. As long as you do more good deeds and seek more benefits for the people in the future, it will be the best explanation for me and the court."

"Yes, I remember the teachings of the adults and I will do what I will do in the future!" Hu Shen Jue nodded again and said, looking grateful.

"Fifteenth brother, what's the use of saying this? How can you show your sincerity?" Hu Yuanjue suddenly said again, and as he spoke, he walked to the other side and took his wine pot with his hand and said, "You should toast Lord Li to show sincerity."

"Yes, yes, we should also toast Lord Li." The others raised their glasses one after another. Li Ling smiled when he saw this, raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.

Hu Shenjue on the other side immediately stood up and wanted to get the wine glass and wine pot, but unexpectedly it happened to be in a collision with Hu Yuanjue's movements. Both of them were a little drunk, and their hands were naturally a little too big. They actually knocked down the wine pot and wine glass on his desk and fell to the ground.

"This..." Hu Shenjue was a little uneasy. He should have toasted himself first. Now, the wine glasses and other things fell to the ground, but they were useless, and he seemed a little disrespectful to Lord Li. Fortunately, Hu Yuanjue quickly tried to smooth things over: "You are too careless. Come on, give me another pot of wine to my fifteenth brother, so you need good wine..."

There was a friend from Taibailou serving him. When he heard this order, someone immediately walked out of the hall door, then brought a wine pot from outside and brought it to Hu Shenjue. He quickly took it over and filled his glass with a glass of wine.

But just as he was about to raise his glass and drink, Hu Yuanjue stopped him again: "How can you show your sincerity to toast like this? Let's go forward and toast an adult." As he said that, he stuffed the newly sent wine pot into his hand.

Hu Shenjue, who was already a little nervous, took the wine pot without even thinking about it, and brought his full wine glass, and came up to Li Ling.

Seeing this, Li Ling had no intention of refusing, but just looked at the other party with a smile. He could see that this young man was one of the most identifiable members of the Hu family. If he could truly conquer him, it would naturally be of great help to the next plan. So he was very happy to accept Hu Yuanjue's arrangements, so he reached out to fill another cup for himself and toast to Hu Shenjue.

Seeing this, Hu Shenjue quickly took two steps and said, "Why did you pour the wine yourself? The younger one is here." As he said that, he picked up the wine pot he brought over and leaned towards Li Ling's cup.

Li Ling did not refuse, so he raised his glass and waited for a while, and then asked Hu Shenjue who was coming forward to drink for himself, then collided with each other and said to the other party: "Sir, I wish you this glass, I will not care about the passing of villains." He raised his glass at the same time and leaned towards his mouth.

All of this is so natural, including Hu Yuanjue, who was staring at the two of them nervously on the other side, which seemed to be a normal reaction to others. As a contributor to this matter, as a child of the Hu family and Hu Shenjue's brother, he certainly hoped that his brother could please his new backer, Lord Li, so he paid special attention to the two of them's drinking together.

However, if someone really observes his expression and gaze changes carefully at this time, he will find that in addition to being nervous, there is also a hint of murderous intent and excitement in his eyes!

"Drink it, just drink it and my plan will be done!" Hu Yuanjue controlled his facial emotions, but he shouted loudly in his heart, waiting for the arrival of that wonderful moment.

He looked at Li Ling who had put the mouth of the cup on his lips and was about to tilt his head and drink!

Just as his joyful mood hit his head, he was about to laugh loudly, and the change suddenly arose!

Whoosh-

A quick wind suddenly flew out from the back and swept through everyone's heads. Before everyone could react, it hit Li Ling's wine glass that was about to pour out and the hand holding the glass.

The momentum was extremely powerful and too abrupt. Li Ling had no precaution at all. He suddenly exclaimed with a crackling sound. With a trembling hand, the cup was knocked down heavily and overturned on the table.

Hu Shenjue in front of him had already drank the wine in his glass, and then looked at the sudden scene in surprise, not knowing what to react.

But immediately, he no longer had to worry about what he should say and do to overcome this smooth situation, because in just a short moment, his whole face quickly dyed a layer of black. As soon as the pain arose, his body twitched and fell down.

A wisp of black blood overflowed from his mouth, and his body trembled for only two times. Hu Shenjue completely disappeared and died!
