Star Trace Gate

"you……!"

Zhou Congcong, who was arrogant by nature, was angry and dissatisfied, but when he was about to retort, he saw that Wang Lili's eyes were cold and cruel, which was intimidating.

He couldn't help but shudder, and instantly realized that if he dared to talk back, there was a chance that an unknown person from the Wang family would rush out from the crowd and hack him to death on the spot.

Wang Lili slowly stood up, looked at Adjutant Zhou and Lieyang, and said in a cold voice: "Take him and get out."

Lieyang lifted up his junior sister with his arms and looked at Ren Ye with hatred; while Adjutant Zhou took two steps forward and stood still.

Butler Zhu looked at them and scolded them in a very comfortable mood: "Didn't you hear what my young lady said? Why don't you get out of here?!"

Adjutant Zhou gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "Are you blind? My captain was stabbed by his sword...didn't you see it?"

"Oh, oh, Sao Rui. It's my habit to forcibly restrict the actions of bandits. Sorry." Ren Ye pretended to apologize and pulled out the Human Emperor Sword from Zhou Congcong's shoulder with a puff.

Zhou Congcong covered the wound on his shoulder, stared at Ren Ye with a resentful expression, and said, "Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Zhou family soldier who was stopped outside not far away stepped forward, reached out to support Zhou Congcong, and walked straight out of the crowd.

Before leaving, Adjutant Zhou turned his head and looked at Wang Lili: "Miss Wang, these kidnapped soldiers of my Zhou family...?"

"They want to stay and give an explanation to Mr. Gao." Butler Zhu replied on behalf of Miss Wang.

Adjutant Zhou gritted his teeth and didn't dare to fight for it anymore. He just followed Brother Congcong and Lieyang and left quickly.

They came in such glory that they left in such disgrace. Not only were more than a dozen soldiers detained by the Wang family, but they also had no way to retrieve the belongings they had brought with them to the mansion.

There were thousands of guests on the entire official road, but no one dared to approach and talk to the Zhou family. Even the gentry who usually had a good relationship with them avoided suspicion and stepped back.

These four words are enough to describe the situation of Zhou Congcong and his group.

The lost dog!

Master Zhou led his team to the Wang family for only one day before they were defeated and basically lost the possibility of secretly fighting for the treasure.

After the group of people left, Wang Lili came to the stage.

She stood in the middle of the crowd, a warm smile immediately appeared on her pretty face, she looked elegant, and shouted in a clear voice: "A little disturbance has ruined everyone's interest. I am really sorry. This is because my Wang family did not entertain you well. However, I think it is still early and the guests are not satisfied. Why not let the troupe continue to perform... If anyone is tired, they can go back to the reception courtyard to rest in advance; if anyone still wants to have some fun, I will ask the servants to prepare tea and snacks again... and add two more good shows."

"it is good!"

"Everyone, don't let these scoundrels ruin your mood. Please continue to sit down."

"Miss Wang behaves well and gracefully. She is truly a heroine."

"...!"

There were immediate cheers and applause from the surroundings, and some people even took the lead in applauding in response.

Apart from anything else, these two sentences by Wang Lili are indeed very sophisticated.

She asked the troupe to continue playing music and dancing, which was to express an attitude to the outside world.

First, the eldest son of the Zhou family was stabbed in public and then driven away. This was just a trivial matter for the Wang family, and it would not even affect the continuation of the party. This attitude would also make people feel that the strength and foundation of the Wang family were higher than that of the Zhou family.

Second, Greedy Village was the territory of the Wang family, and the singing was also to celebrate Wang Shoucai's birthday. Under such circumstances, the grand event ended in a farce. Where would the Wang family's face be? Wouldn't the protagonists become the Gao and Zhou families who caused the conflict?

This is definitely not acceptable. The party must not only continue singing, but also be more lively than before, and give outsiders the feeling that the Wang family is just watching two children fighting. After a few words and a laugh, the fight is over, and everything will be back to normal.

Ren was also at a distance, witnessing with his own eyes how Wang Lili handled the emergency, and he felt even more strongly that this young girl was extremely sinister and dangerous.

Sure enough, the more coquettish a woman is, the more severe her methods are.

Furthermore, if anyone says that Wang Lili is just a remnant soul, I will definitely dig his brain out and let him hang out...

The storm is over, the opera troupe performs on the street, and the party continues.

After Wang Lili comforted the guests, she came to Ren Ye.

"Ms. Wang...!" Ren Ye knew that his behavior just now was a bit over the line, so he saluted to her with a very flattering expression.

When Xu Qingzhao saw the shameless look of King Huai, he immediately pouted and muttered, "Humph, he is indeed a man with a broken spine."

Wang Lili looked at Ren Ye, then slowly leaned forward, whispered in Ren Ye's ear, and said, "I still say that. You may not understand the Gao family's boat, nor may you be able to sit firmly on it. I'll wait for your reply."

"Yes, yes. I will definitely weigh the pros and cons and try to give Miss Wang a satisfactory answer." Ren Ye replied.

After expressing her feelings in one sentence, Wang Lili greeted the two leaders of the Gao family: "Housekeeper Liu, I will ask the doctor to check you out later. Guardian Xu, you should also go to bed early."

"well."

After saying that, Wang Lili turned and left.

Ren Ye looked at his teammates and politely asked for their opinions: "Should we go back, or stay here and watch the fun?"

"You are such a scoundrel." Mad Dog looked at him and replied sourly, "Our housekeeper Liu is almost dead, and you are still here watching the fun. How can you be so cruel...?!"

"Brother Li, I...my condition is really not suitable for standing for a long time." Butler Liu greeted weakly.

"Let's go back." Ren Ye leaned over to Butler Liu's ear and said, "It's okay. I have a special medicine and will treat you alone later."

"Thank you, Brother Li."

After saying this, the group did not stay here and hurried back to the reception courtyard.

……

In the private room of the teahouse.

Butler Zhu stood beside the chair, bent over and said, "The Zhou family's soldiers claimed that Shopkeeper Qiu might have been killed by Zhou Congcong..."

"It wasn't him, because Shopkeeper Qiu should be from his Zhou family." Wang Lili picked up the teacup: "But it's better this way, Zhou Congcong took the blame, so the guests won't panic. You will notify the night patrol team later, reduce some mobile sentries on the surface, and secretly strengthen the vigilance. Nothing can happen before the birthday banquet starts."

"Yes." Butler Zhu nodded and chuckled, saying, "Today, the boy surnamed Li showed courage and wisdom, and his magical powers were amazing. I wonder if he can accept the young lady's invitation..."

"I hope he's not just playing with me, otherwise, I can only..." Wang Lili said half a sentence and didn't say any more.

Butler Zhu understood, slowly stepped back, clasped his fists and left.

On the official road, Zhou Congcong, who was supported by someone, glanced viciously in the direction of Greedy Village and said viciously: "I will come back sooner or later...!"

"That kid named Li, I will tear you into pieces."
