Lord of Puro

Chapter 670: Making a Mountain of a Mountain
Li Banfeng once again pulled the connecting rod of the stylus with his hand and lifted the stylus from the record, but the stylus of the record player quickly extended and maintained contact with the record.

The strange singing never stopped. The five sisters of the Luo family and Hu Chihong suffered severe injuries, and the worms brought by the clockwork record player were also dying.

Li Banfeng wanted to summon a shadow to break the record player into pieces, but in the sound of such harsh music, Li Banfeng could not use his shadow summoning technique.

Tear it down, it must be taken down!
Li Banfeng's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the clockwork record player.

Luo Shaojun shouted from a distance, "Seventh Brother, run away quickly. This is a second-class weapon."

Luo Lijun shouted, "Mr. Li, let's go. Don't let me get you into trouble."

Luo Xiujun said: "Why don't we sisters go up and help Li Qi fight, maybe we can hold it down!"

Luo Yujun said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can you hold down a second-rate weapon? Whoever dares to touch it will die. Let's run away. It's lucky for anyone to escape."

boom!
Bang, bang, bang!
There were parts scattered on the ground and the clockwork record player was broken into pieces.

The sisters were all shocked, and Li Banfeng was also in a daze looking at the spare parts on the ground.

This record player is made of strong material and has a meticulous structure. Just now, Li Banfeng was trying to separate the needle from the record by pulling it with one hand and pressing the tray with the other, but it was very difficult.

He couldn't summon a shadow at that time.

So the question is, how was this record player dismantled?

A gear was shaking slowly on the ground, and the axle of the gear suddenly stood up and spun rapidly on the ground.

Shaojun shouted: "Not good, we need to recover!"

Can this machine be restored?
Li Banfeng crushed the gear with his Tapo Wanchuan and wanted to pick up the other parts together. Gloves whispered, "Boss, keep the other things for now. I'll take them back and give them to the Boss's wife. I think they can be of some use."

"Do you know whether the other parts are alive or dead? Can you tell?"

"I think the remaining ones are probably all dead, but there's no guarantee that there might be something special among them. Let's try to collect them first. If they can't be collected anymore, then ask the owner for help."

The gloves were really useful for collecting all the parts of the record player. The Luo sisters didn't know what method Li Banfeng used, but they only found that when the smoke and dust cleared, all the parts disappeared.

The worm that was originally carrying the record player lay on the ground and used one of its feet to take out the bottle of grease from its body.

He knew he was going to die, and he wanted to return the grease to Li Banfeng.

Luo Yujun stepped forward and shouted at Chongzi, "Who asked you to come?"

The bug couldn't speak, but it made a hissing sound and steam was spewing out of it.

Luo Yanjun examined the worm: "He can't speak, his throat has been removed."

Luo Lijun gritted her teeth and said, "So he is a self-sacrificing slave! I don't know who sent him!"

Li Banfeng asked: "What does it mean to sacrifice one's life?"

Luo Shaojun said: "The self-sacrificing slaves are slaves who have no ties and are loyal. Their masters ask them to carry out missions that will lead to their death."

Luo Yanjun thought about the scene when he first encountered this servant and analyzed the context of the whole incident: "This person should be sent by Bao Yingjun. He asked this servant to intercept us halfway."

Luo Yujun asked, "Can he recognize us? Aren't we wearing rouge?"

Luo Yanjun shook her head and said, "Rouge is useless. This slave can't smell it. Even his antennae have been plucked off. He can't smell anything."

Luo Xiujun said: "How can he live without his tentacles? Won't he become a useless person in the future?"

Luo Yujun glared at Luo Xiujun and said, "Or you can just say you are stupid. This is a self-sacrificing slave. You will die anyway. There is no future for you."

Luo Yanjun made another inference: "It doesn't matter if he can't recognize us. He will play music on the road we must pass. We can't resist it, and there is no way to go around. We are likely to be killed by this second-rate weapon.
Even if we escape, we will certainly be badly hurt. If he sends more sacrificed slaves, we will still die.”

Luo Shaojun said: "He played music on the roadside. How many people will die?"

Luo Lijun sneered: "Do you think Bao Yingjun is a good man? The people over at the coal yard are all commoners, why would he care about their lives?"

Li Banfeng raised his head and said, "In addition to the common people, I also saw quite a few slaves working."

Luo Lijun said nothing. In her opinion, slaves could not be considered human beings.

Hu Chihong explained for Luo Lijun: "In Wubian City, the death of a slave is never a big deal, and the death of a commoner can be ignored.
The affairs of slaves are minor, but if a noble is killed, it is a serious matter."

Luo Lijun felt that Hu Chihong had something else in mind: "Please explain yourself more clearly."

Hu Chihong said: "After Bao Yingjun joined the Bao family, he changed his surname but not his given name. This situation is not common.

He has always claimed to the outside world that he has never forgotten the Luo family's kindness in raising him. After taking over Wubian City, he also claimed that he would treat the descendants of the Luo family well.

Based on this, even if he wants to attack the lord, he will not use his own name. He will find a scapegoat. Who could this scapegoat be?"

Luo Lijun thought for a moment and felt that what Hu Chihong said made sense: "Even after being a whore, she still wants to be a saint. Bao Yingjun is indeed like this. Does he still have any old friends from Wubian City around him now?"

Hu Chihong nodded and said, "There are two doctors, Bai Chenliang and Lu Mosheng."

"Lü Mosheng..." Luo Lijun's eyebrows trembled, "This man is mediocre and incompetent. He is a scapegoat."

Thinking of this, Luo Lijun asked the worm: "Did Lu Mosheng ask you to come?"

The worm was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

Luo Shaojun said: "Sister, Laolu has been following our family for many years. Let's discuss it. Maybe he can do something for us."

Luo Lijun shook her head and said, "It's difficult. Old Donkey has been timid all his life and dares not do anything."

"Since we can't rely on the old donkey, there's no need to keep him." Luo Xiujun took out a sharp thorn from the snail shell and prepared to kill the worm.

Li Banfeng stopped Luo Xiujun: "Let him live, because he let us live."

If this worm attacked Li Banfeng when he was off guard, as long as he had assembled the record player in advance, Li Banfeng would most likely be seriously injured.

He assembled the record player in front of Li Banfeng, giving Li Banfeng the opportunity to respond calmly.

Now the worm wants to return the fat to Li Banfeng, but he feels he is not worthy of eating it.

Li Banfeng pushed the grease back to him.

Luo Yujun reminded him, "If the task is not accomplished, his master will not let him go. He is willing to die for his master. This loyalty is precious to him. Let's fulfill his wish."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "It's not valuable at all. His master won't shed a tear for him. Such loyalty is worthless."

Luo Yujun disagreed with Li Banfeng's idea: "His master didn't cry, and you said loyalty is not valuable. This is too far-fetched!"

"It's not far-fetched at all," Li Banfeng shook his head. "If you don't believe me, let's just let him cry a few times and you'll know what's valuable to him."

Luo Lijun was surprised and asked, "Who are you making cry?"

"His master." Li Banfeng took out the wine gourd to treat the worm's wound.

Luo Yujun was surprised and asked, "You want to find his master?"

Li Banfeng said: "He sent someone to kill me, why shouldn't I go find him?"

Luo Xiujun said: "We are guilty. We have caused such a big commotion in Wubian City. Bao Yingjun will definitely not let us go."

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "What are you saying? If you don't make any noise, will Bao Yingjun let you go?"

Luo Yanjun nodded: "Mr. Li is right. Killing us all quietly is exactly what Bao Yingjun wants."

Li Banfeng said to Hu Chihong, "Miss Hu, do you have any other place to stay? This place is no longer safe. Let's talk somewhere else."

……

Marquis's Mansion, clear lobby.

This was originally the residence of the Luo family, and the Mingxi lobby was where the head of the Luo family handled government affairs.

A leopard squatted on the ground with his eyes closed in meditation. After a while, he shuttled back and forth between the pillars.

A column suddenly became a little taller, and the ceiling of the hall began to crack and creak.

A donkey lay beside the leopard and whispered, "My Lord, calm down."

This is the characteristic of the Hall of Clarity. It can convey messages from the Boundless City and sense people's emotions.

This leopard is Bao Yingjun.

This donkey is Lu Mosheng.

Bao Yingjun shook his head and said, "This is a bad thing, Mingxi Hall. Everything I think and feel is right in front of you, but you don't know how to figure it out carefully."

Lu Mosheng's face was pressed tightly against the ground: "I serve my lord with all my heart and soul, and I have never slacked off."

"Then tell me, why was I angry just now?" Bao Yingjun patted Lu Mosheng's head with his claws.

Lu Mosheng pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "I am stupid and could not guess this."

"Stupid ass!" Bao Yingjun slapped Lu Mosheng, leaving a bloody mark on Lu Mosheng's left cheek. "You can't guess anything, and you still dare to say that you are not slacking off?"

The people standing in the lobby dared to be angry but not to speak. Bao Yingjun's behavior was far from that of a king.

Lu Mosheng bowed his head and said, "I have done my best for my lord, but because of my lack of talent, I really can't figure out what my lord is thinking."

"You can't think of anything, so what's the point of keeping you?" Bao Yingjun slapped Lu Mosheng on the right cheek, and both sides of Lu Mosheng's cheeks were bruised.

A white horse beside him laughed secretly. The donkey was indeed stupid. He was able to get his current position beside the lord entirely because of his seniority and good luck.

This white horse belongs to Bai Chenliang, an old friend of the Luo family.

Huabao came up to Bai Chenliang and asked, "Guess why I'm angry?"

Bai Chenliang said: "My lord, you just used the eyes of Wubian City, but you couldn't find the whereabouts of the thief. This proves that Wubian City is not loyal enough to you. All the servants who are not loyal should be killed."

Lu Mosheng was stunned and said: "We can't kill Wubiancheng. This is our foundation for the future."

Bai Chenliang shook his head and said, "The foundation does not lie in size, but in stability. If Wubian City always thinks of outsiders, it cannot be left to the lord as a foundation.
A city that is open to outsiders is nothing but a disaster no matter how prosperous it is. This city should not be kept, and the people in this city should not be kept if they do not understand the truth. "

Bao Yingjun laughed out loud: "You have such understanding, it's worth my training in you!"

Bai Chenliang lowered his head: "My lord, you are too kind."

As he spoke, Bai Chenliang looked at Lu Mosheng standing beside him, and cursed in his heart along with his master: "Stupid ass."

Bao Yingjun suddenly raised his sharp claws and slapped Bai Chenliang on the face: "How can you guess everything?"

Bai Liangchen was scratched all over his face and was kicked by Bao Yingjun.

Bao Yingjun shouted at the crowd, "Listen to me, thieves have entered Wubian City, and we must catch them today.
"Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor is the duty of a minister, and it is also your responsibility. Do you understand?"

It was difficult to understand what he said. He didn't say who the thief was or where the thief was, but people didn't dare to ask more questions and could only nod yes repeatedly.

Bao Yingjun looked at Lu Mosheng and said, "I asked you to send a self-sacrificing servant to catch the thief. Did you do it?"

Lu Mosheng nodded quickly.

"How many were sent?"

"one person."

Bao Yingjun approached Lu Mosheng again and said, "I asked you to send a self-sacrificing slave to catch the thief, but you only sent one? Are you trying to please me? Or are you mocking me?"

Lu Mosheng bowed his head and said, "I asked the self-sacrificing slave to bring a second-class weapon, which is enough to accomplish the task."

Lu Mosheng had thought this matter over carefully, and he really wasn't deliberately trying to be perfunctory with Bao Yingjun.

Bao Yingjun asked him to send his sacrificed servants to kill the Luo sisters, and announced to the public that the Luo sisters were his flesh and blood. Once the news got out, Lu Mosheng would definitely be the one to take the blame.

He also received news that the Luo sisters were with Li Qi, who was a VIP invited by Qiao Yi. Injuring Li Qi would be equivalent to offending Qiao Yi, so this matter must not be made a big deal.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with what Lu Mosheng did. He sent the people and brought the weapons. The job had already been done. Whether it would succeed or not was another matter.

Bao Yingjun asked Lu Mosheng: "Is there any news?"

"Not yet." Lu Mosheng shook his head slightly.

"Then send a few more people," Bao Yingjun patted Lu Mosheng's head again, "The servants' affairs are all trivial matters, there is no need to be so scared, it doesn't hurt to send a few more people!"...

In addition to the main house on Zuojiu Street, Hu Chihong also has an outer house on Youshisan Street.

Luo Yanjun exclaimed: "Chihong, your outer house is quite well built, with pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner, but the place is a little small."

Hu Chihong quickly explained: "This is where I practiced transformation. It's not really a mansion. After the transformation, my body became smaller, so I don't need a big space."

Luo Yanjun smiled and said, "I'm praising your house, but I'm not saying you've exceeded the rules. What are you afraid of?"

Hu Chihong was still worried. Although the Luo sisters had lost their power, violating the rules was a serious crime in Da Shang, and this matter must be explained clearly.

Shaojun's voice came from the room: "Seventh Brother, your shape is wrong. It doesn't look like a bug, but more like a box."

Li Banfeng said: "What we need to do is the box."

This is a very complicated process, as Li Banfeng has to pretend to be a wooden box.

This process requires two steps. The first is to make visual modifications, which can be done with a projector.

Another problem is to make modifications to the sense of smell, which is a bit complicated. The blood-containing pendulum is needed to help Li Banfeng make some rouge, and Luo Shaojun's cooperation is also required.

Li Banfeng had no way of knowing what he looked like in Luo Shaojun's eyes, and could only rely on Luo Shaojun's description to adjust the ingredients of the rouge.

After trying it dozens of times, Luo Shaojun nodded and said, "This time it looks like a box. It really does look like a box, exactly the same as the box he was carrying at the beginning."

Li Banfeng climbed onto the worm's back and asked the worm to go back and report.

This was a very risky behavior. The worm was not supposed to go back to report, and he himself did not have the courage to do so.

Li Banfeng fed the worm two cans of fat and a can of alcohol. No one knew whether it was the effect of the alcohol or the fat, but the seriously injured worm gained courage and really took Li Banfeng back to report.

The five Luo sisters all felt that it was inappropriate. Luo Lijun said, "He is a self-sacrificing slave, who came out to die. If you let him go back now, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Just say you are afraid of death and don't want to die, and go back to ask the master for mercy."

Luo Lijun said: "What kind of nonsense is this? The master is the heaven of the slave. If the slave is afraid of death, how can he dare to tell the master?"

Li Banfeng laughed: "The sky is not that small, and the master is not that big. All living beings are like this. How can one be stronger than another?"

Luo Lijun said: "Mr. Li, the affairs of slaves are all trivial, but the affairs of nobles are all major. You must think twice before you act!"

"The affairs of slaves are all small matters, and the affairs of nobles are all big matters." Li Banfeng nodded slightly, "Then let's make the big matters small first, and then make the small matters big."

Luo Shaojun said: "Seventh Brother, I will go with you!"

"You guys wait for my news here first." Li Banfeng rode on the worm's back, took out the wine gourd and fed the worm another sip of strong liquor. The worm took Li Banfeng and walked all the way to Youliu Street.

The Luo sisters wanted to follow, but were driven back by Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng lay on the worm's back and took out a map to look at it.
Many nobles appointed by the Luo family lived in the six streets on both sides. The worm stopped at the door of a house, which was the home of the noble Lu Mosheng.

Just as the worm was about to go through the door, a flea jumped out of the house and shouted at the worm, "Xi, why are you back? What did the master tell you?"

Xi is the name of this worm, and it is also a common name for Li people.

This flea was a small leader of the slaves. His status was slightly higher than that of the slaves and he could barely be considered a commoner.

Xi's throat was removed and he was unable to respond.

Flea knew that Xi had become a self-sacrificing slave and had an important mission on his shoulders, so he did not dare to say anything. He pointed at Xi and said, "Come in and talk!"

Xi followed the flea into the yard, but the flea turned around and whipped the bug: "You dare to go through the door? Go through the hole!"

There was a hole next to the main entrance. The flea pulled the rope and opened the gate on the hole, just enough for the slave to get through.

Xi is a slave, and this is the path a slave should take, and he is used to walking it.

But today he suddenly didn't want to leave.

Xi crawled straight towards the door.

The flea whipped him and started beating him: "Don't you want to live?"

This is a ridiculous question. Xidu has become a slave and he doesn't want to live anymore!
Xi Shengsheng was hit with a whip, knocked away the fleas, and entered the front yard.

The flea got up and looked around, fearing that other servants would see him.

Although this flea always stayed among slaves in the mansion, he felt that his status was much higher than those slaves.

Once, the master gave him two mouthfuls of leftover grease as a reward, and he even felt that he had become half a scholar.

With his current status, he must not be looked down upon by a slave, let alone be bumped into by a slave. This matter must be severely punished!

But the situation of Xi, a slave, is somewhat special.

His parents are dead, he has no family, and now he has become a slave. He doesn't even want to live. What else can scare him?

Seeing Xi entering the house, Flea had no time to think. In order to repay his master's kindness, he had to stop this crazy servant at all costs!
The flea leaped up and came in front of Xi: "Stop right there! If you take another step inside, I'll smash you to pieces!"

boom!
Li Banfeng crushed the flea to pieces with one foot. Because his movements were so fast, no one around him saw Li Banfeng, and Xi himself didn't see him either.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t see. Xi was drunk and went straight into the main courtyard.

A lion dog entered the yard. This man was really important. He was the butler of the mansion. Normally, ordinary servants could not see him at all.

The housekeeper was well-informed and shouted at the servant, "If you have anything to say, come to the cross courtyard and talk to me. Don't make trouble here!"

If he really went to the cross-courtyard, Xi would be held down by the guards, beaten until he was only breathing hard, pierced with iron rings and chains, and locked in a dungeon, waiting for the master's order to torture him to death. However, he might not even receive the master's order before being tortured to death.

In the past, even if he knew the result, Xi would still follow the butler, because in his eyes, the butler's orders were the master's orders, and the master's orders must not be disobeyed.

But now Xi is a little hesitant.

Should I follow the housekeeper? Should I still be afraid of the housekeeper? Should I still be afraid of the master?
As the alcohol took over, Xi could not realize that he was already desperate...

The housekeeper didn't know the servant's name, so he simply acted like an elder and taught him a lesson: "Child, we can't make the same mistake over and over again. Without our master, we are nothing.

We didn't do what the master told us to do, and we have no face to live in this world. Now we come to the master's house to make trouble. Even if we are torn to pieces and turned into ashes, can we wash away this sin?"

boom!
Li Banfeng kicked the lion dog and broke its leg.

The lion dog howled: "You beast, are you going to rebel..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Banfeng kicked and broke one of his legs.

"You should kill..."

boom!
The butler broke another arm and dared not speak.

In the mansion, a group of grasshoppers surrounded him, holding iron hooks and ropes, trying to catch the slave.

This group of grasshoppers are the guards of the mansion. The iron hooks in their hands are considered third-rate weapons in the Great Shang Kingdom.

The third-class weapon is not an ordinary object. The iron hook can be thrown out to find people, and it can be embedded in the flesh when hooked on the body. It can also be equipped with a rope and threaded into the flesh. It is more than enough to catch a few slaves, but it is a bit more difficult to use it to catch Li Banfeng.

A grasshopper leaped up and swung the hook at the worm's head.

The iron hook suddenly turned in mid-air and hooked the butler's arm.

The butler only had one good arm left, and the iron hook pierced through the skin and hooked in, carrying a piece of rope with it into the flesh.

This time it really hurt. The butler had hooked many slaves before, but this was the first time he was hooked. The piercing pain was unbearable. The butler was in so much pain that he could hardly scream.

Grasshopper hurriedly removed the hook from the butler, while the other guards were still besieging the worm, and another hook missed and caught the butler's cheek.

Before he could remove the hook on his face, another hook got stuck in his stomach.

The grasshopper who was rescuing him was hooked on the back by the hook and fell to the ground.

The butler shouted, "You, you all want to rebel?"

The guards dared not move.

They also didn't know why the hooks in their hands would miss the target and hit the butler.

A guard lowered his voice and said, "I seemed to see the box behind him move."

"Is it the weapon behind him?"

Many people knew that Xi had become a slave, and many people also knew that Xi was carrying a powerful weapon.

But even the butler didn't know what the ultimate weapon was.

Everyone was talking, and Xi carried Li Banfeng to the backyard.

The guards asked the butler, "Are you still going to chase them inside?"

"Chase!" The butler could not move, but he was still worried about his master's family.

The guards asked again: "Will we continue to fight after we go in?"

"Why are you fighting? Can you afford to hurt the young master and the ladies?" The butler wanted to get up, but couldn't.

The guards didn't know what to do: "We can't fight, why chase them in?"

"You keep an eye on him first and call the master back!"

……

In the Mingxi Hall of the Marquis's Mansion, Lv Mosheng and Bai Liangchen were still waiting for news about the Luo sisters. A scholar came in and told Lv Mosheng, "Sir, something happened at home."

Bao Yingjun had sharp ears, so he walked closer and asked, "What happened?"

The scholar dared not conceal the truth, so he had to answer: "Xi came back and made trouble at home."

Lu Mosheng was stunned: "Who is Xi?"

"It's the self-sacrificing slave you sent out."

The gray donkey was frightened.

He was not afraid of the slaves, he was afraid of the second-rate weapons on the slaves.

Bao Yingjun laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Look at the person you chose, look at your ability to use people, you can't even control a servant, old donkey, I feel ashamed for you."

The gray donkey looked pale and said nothing.

Bao Yingjun waved his hand and said, "Go back and deal with the servants. The servants' affairs are not a big deal. People like you can't accomplish anything big. I don't need so many ministers under my command. I want to see who among you can get serious things done!"

……

Lu Mosheng asked someone to take three second-rate weapons and return to the mansion.

He didn't want to use these weapons in his own home, otherwise if he made a mistake, the whole family would die.

There are many ways to subdue a slave, and if done properly, a few words will be enough.

Lu Mosheng asked his men to wait in the front yard. He went into the backyard alone and saw a group of guards lying lifeless on the ground, and a group of frightened children. Lu Mosheng said to the servants in the yard, "Don't forget who raised you, don't forget who fed you, and who clothed you. If you repay kindness with hatred, you will not have a good end in this life, and you will be punished in the next life!"

Snapped!
Li Banfeng slapped Lu Mosheng: "Who are you talking to?"

Lu Mosheng looked Li Banfeng up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

Snapped!
Li Banfeng slapped Lu Mosheng again: "You don't even know who I am? What are you talking about this life and the next life?"

Lu Mosheng felt dizzy: "This is my home..."

Snapped!
Li Banfeng slapped him again: "How dare you take someone's life in your own home?"

Lu Mosheng looked at the corpses all over the ground, not knowing how to respond.
