Chapter 163
The appearance of Xiao Zi and his group all fell under Yang Ming's nose.
At this time, he was lying on a wicker chair, sitting on the tallest building in Wenli Village, overlooking the entire Wenli Village from above, holding a triangular cup in his hand, with magnificent red wine rippling in the cup.
Yang Ming quietly watched the earth-shaking changes taking place in Weili Village in his own hands. This sense of accomplishment was truly unwarranted.
At the same time, Yang Ming noticed the system prompts from a few days ago.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for saying a classic line from King of Glory and getting a chance to draw a lottery. Do you want to start the lottery roulette?"
A lottery roulette slowly appeared in the field of vision, with three categories of awards: hero skin, inscription, and hero skills.
Hero skins: Wuling Immortal Lord, Feng Qiuhuang, Fei Heng...
Inscription: Hunting, Eagle Eye, Mutation...
Hero skills: Dragon Cry, Thunder Dragon, Word Spirit Barrier...
[Longevity]: Blue inscription, adding a little vitality.
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get the rewards you want from the system lottery.
Fortunately, Yang Ming is no longer the young man who relied on system rewards.
With his back to Momotu Gion, Tina and others, Yang Ming swung the wine glass in his hand and said:
"You have already made arrangements."
Momotu Gion nodded slightly and said:
"We are ready. Recently, the Beast Pirates and Black Carbon Orochi have relaxed their vigilance against us. Once we incite the common people to revolt, it will be the best time."
Chapter 237 Do you want to leave this world silently and without anyone knowing?
"Chirp!"
A firework bomb shot straight into the sky, suddenly bursting into brilliant fireworks.
This is just the beginning. Fireworks explode one after another, and the brightly colored fireworks feast the eyes of those who come to Weili Village.
Now that the sun has set, tables and chairs are displayed on the broad bluestone floor of the village. On the table are sumptuous delicacies, including rice balls, sushi, sashimi, takoyaki, tempura, soba noodles, etc. Fried chicken nuggets, pickled cabbage...
The people who were invited to the Baijia Banquet gathered around the dining table, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.
Xiaoyu is holding a thin rope in her right hand, and the other end of the rope is tied to a balloon. The balloon is a cartoon image of a civet cat, which looks a bit cute.
In other kingdoms, such balloons are just common objects, but for Xiaoyu, this is a treasure that she never dared to think of before.
"All of this is a gift from big brother Yang Ming!"
"I wish brother Yang Ming a happy birthday today!"
Xiaoyu silently celebrated Yang Ming in her heart, and turned her head towards the most magnificent building in Weili Village.
That was where Yang Ming and his team were stationed. A huge open-air platform extended from the top floor of the building. Under the reflection of many neon lights, a beautiful woman holding a xylophone slowly walked to the center of the stage and sat elegantly on a chair. .
From the moment the slim beauty appeared, Xiaoyu suddenly heard a burst of yelling from the people around her.
"Oh my god! That's Xiao Zi, the most famous courtesan in the Flower City!"
"I didn't expect that Master Yang Ming would invite the most beautiful woman in Wano to celebrate his birthday!"
"I heard that this oiran is not easy to hire. She always treats dignitaries without pretense. Ordinary people really can't hire her. I can only say that she is truly worthy of Master Yang Ming!"
"Miss Xiao Zi is just like the rumors, she is so beautiful!"
"Look, Miss Xiao Zi and Mr. Yang Ming are a perfect match. They are both talented and handsome."
"No, no, no, Miss Zizi is just a hooker girl, how can she be worthy of our Lord Yang Ming?"
At the Baijia Banquet, the appearance of Xiao Zi immediately ushered in a heated discussion among the people.
Xiao Zi was already accustomed to the scorching gazes coming from all directions and didn't feel any nervousness at all.
Xiao Zi looked around and found that Mr. Yang Ming, whom the people called him, was staying under the building at the moment, attending the Hundred Family Banquet with the people. There were only a few trusted generals around him, there was no grand pomp, and there were no navy soldiers to protect him. He was not wearing a navy uniform. He was wearing ordinary civilian clothes and looked no different from other ordinary people.
If the true identity of this person is not revealed, it may be difficult to connect this young man with the new Admiral Shura of the Navy, and he may be regarded as the eldest brother of his neighbor.
As if aware of Xiao Zi's gaze, Yang Ming nodded slightly.
Xiao Zi smiled sweetly and said secretly:
"This person is not as unkind as the rumors say."
As the ancients said, if you look back and smile, you will be full of charm, and the pink and black in the Sixth Palace will be colorless.
Xiao Zi's smile seemed to have some kind of magical appeal. When they saw her smile, many men were stunned, as if they had lost their souls.
Xiao Zi leaned slightly behind Yang Ming and said:
"Today, I will dedicate a song "Moon Princess" to Lord Yang Ming. I hope Lord Yang Ming likes it."
After that, Xiao Zi adjusted her posture and leaned the piano body on her right thigh. She pressed the strings with her left hand and held an ivory plectrum in her right hand to gently pluck the strings.
This xylophone is also called the Samadhi Line in Wano Country. It consists of a slender piano rod and a square speaker. The speaker is covered with snakeskin. The body of the instrument is square, and the front and back are covered with a cat. Therefore, on the surface of the Samadhi line, you can see symmetrical black spots, which are actually traces of a certain part of the cat's abdomen.
The moment Xiao Zi strummed the strings, the noisy Weli Village immediately fell silent, and everyone was immersed in the beautiful music.
The music seemed to be infused with soul.
Everything is as erratic as a daydream.
The passing time is all illusion.
Not a trace of entity remains, and the most vivid memories are fleeting.
Even so, I still firmly believe that the face of the moon will not disappear.
The sad and melancholy music exudes pure beauty and reveals helpless fragility, arousing the softness deep in people's hearts and making people obsessed with it.
Yang Ming raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful figure playing in the moonlight, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this oiran was really talented. No wonder he could confuse so many men and still stand tall.
When the song ended, many people were still immersed in the lingering music, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
It wasn't until people saw Miss Xiao Zi slowly walking off the stage holding a xylophone in her hand that everyone came to their senses and burst into thunderous applause.
Amidst the warm applause, Xiao Zi shook her snake waist, stepped on lotus steps, and slowly came to Yang Ming's table. She raised a wine glass filled with sake and toasted to Yang Ming, and said delicately:
"Sir Yang Ming, I am honored to be invited to celebrate your birthday. I wish you a happy birthday here."
After the wine glasses clinked, Xiao Zi raised her head and drank the wine. The crystal clear wine slid down the corner of her mouth, along her long and fair neck, and wetted the kimono collar. She still held the pipa and half-hidden her face, revealing her looming fair skin. Skin, skin that can be broken by blowing makes people have the urge to hold her in their arms.
Xiao Zi's pitcher's movements revealed a bit of aura.
If you don't understand her as a person, you might be deceived by her and think that Xiao Zi is a very casual woman who is secretly seducing Yang Ming into committing a crime.
But in fact, this is just a habitual action that Xiao Zi is accustomed to, and there is nothing special about it.
In the past, Xiao Zi relied on this trick to charm many men, and then used a little trick to empty the wallets of those stinky men.
How can it be called cheating when it comes to beautiful women?
Her targets have always been people who make money through illegal means.
What's more, even though many men were ruined by Xiao Zikeng, they still didn't feel that they were deceived and still loved her deeply.
Putting aside these words, in fact, Xiao Zi is still a woman who keeps her integrity as pure as jade.
Xiao Zi looked at Yang Ming affectionately. She was confident that few people could remain calm in front of her charm. The famous young general in front of her would probably be no exception... right?
When she discovered that Yang Ming had remained calm from beginning to end, with a pair of black and white eyes as clear as well water, showing no signs of wavering, Xiao Zi was secretly surprised and thought to herself:
"Even Kaido of the Hundred Beasts would be a little moved when he saw me. I never thought that this Shura General would remain unmoved!"
Just when Xiao Zi thought she could withdraw, something suddenly happened.
From all over the streets and alleys and from behind the eaves, a ninja wearing a dark ninja uniform suddenly jumped out!
This group of ninjas wrapped themselves tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes full of murderous intent. Each held a kunai or shuriken in their hands, and they were killing Yang Ming from all directions.
Suddenly, the Baijia Banquet scene turned into a mess.
The people looked at this scene in horror, and were panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do.
At the same time, someone seemed to recognize the identity of these ninjas and suddenly said sharply:
"These people are the ninjas of the Orochi Imperial Court Fans, and they are the lackeys of the Black Tan Orochi!"
Wow!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Amid the uproar, everyone remained calm at first and said secretly:
"It doesn't matter. Master Yang Ming is the general of the Navy Headquarters. A mere minion is not worth mentioning at all."
However, when they looked at Yang Ming expectantly, they were stunned and stunned.
Yang Ming's face was livid, his lips were purple and black, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Even the hand holding the wine glass seemed to have lost its strength. When his fingers loosened, the wine glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces. .
How could Yang Ming, who had the ability of a saint to steal, be assassinated by a mere poison?
Obviously, all this is a play directed and performed by Yang Ming!
Under Yang Ming's instructions, Tina and others guarded him firmly in the center, blocking the black-suited ninjas played by navy soldiers, and shouted loudly:
"What on earth do you Orochi Imperial Court members want to do? You secretly poison General Shura!"
"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
A ninja in black clothes, Jie Jie, laughed strangely and said:
"I can only blame you for blocking General Orochi's way!"
"Who asked you to let the people of Weili Village live a good life? Only the poor, backward and ignorant people can work hard and honestly, and the daughters they give birth to can be paid as slaves in the General's Mansion at an extremely low price. concubine!"
boom!
Hearing their conversation, the common people felt as if a thunderbolt had fallen in their minds, and they felt bad all over.
Thinking back on the life he lived under the rule of the Beast Pirates and the Black Carbon Orochi, and the life he lived under Yang Ming's rule, one was underground and the other was in the sky. They were completely different!
Some people clenched their fists and rushed forward to protect him.
Some people were angry and angry, and they were shouting curses.
People are like this sometimes. If you haven't lost something, you won't know how precious you once had it.
Seeing that life is getting better and better, once Yang Ming dies, all this will be in vain, and the people can no longer sit still, completely igniting the fire in their chests!
Yang Ming looked ugly and fell limply into Xiao Zi's arms. Xiao Zi quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
But what makes Xiao Zi feel strange is that at this time, the young general in front of him is still smiling and asking:
"If you were given a choice."
"Do you want to leave this world silently and without anyone knowing?"
"Or die in front of everyone?"
Xiao Zi: "???"
Chapter 238 Get up, people who don’t want to be slaves!
Some people are alive, but they are already dead.
Some people are dead, but they are still alive.
Some people ride on the heads of the people and say, "Oh, how great I am!"
Some people stoop down and act like oxen and horses for the common people.
It was naturally difficult for Xiao Zi to understand the meaning of Yang Ming's words, so she seemed a little confused.
But under Yang Ming's transformation, the villagers of Bianli Village and the people in Jiuli area knew very well that every day after Yang Ming's arrival, they got rid of their poverty-stricken life, and their lives got better day by day. The real benefits are the most precious thing.
Once something happens to Yang Ming, the good life they yearn for will be gone forever.
At this moment, the people were outraged!
Even the young Xiaoyu, when she saw Yang Ming collapse from "poisoning", her eyes suddenly turned red, tears blurred her vision, and she ignored the height difference and strength between herself and those black-clothed ninjas. He picked up a bench and threw it at the black-clothed ninjas pretending to be navy soldiers.
Not only Xiaoyu, but also more ordinary people stood up to resist.
