Chapter 403: Banquet Test

"Just ask the guards to handle it. Just say that it was the assassin who escaped last night. Thank you, Sect Leader, for helping to catch him."

Zong Cen's behavior was unexpected. It seemed that he was not going to take the bait at all.

Song Yingcai spoke to Qi Cen after the butler left.

"It looks like your dinner party is about to start."

"Tonight, I'll just help him calm down."

The assassin who was captured was none other than the man in black who was captured last night. He was captured again this time.

Only the butler came to thank Zong Cen, and the man was captured by the guards. In fact, he could have killed the man in black, but he ran too fast and met the guards, so he could only change his words and say that he was an assassin.

The housekeeper came back soon after and said that he would host a banquet in the evening to calm Zong Cen down. Zong Cen had not attended several previous invitations, so it was difficult for him to refuse this time and he could only agree to attend the banquet in the evening.

After exchanging messages, the group of people returned to their respective yards. If they stayed together all day, they would make a big conspicuous figure.

Although Nie Feice's wounds were well treated after a night's rest, he still had a high fever in the second half of the night.

I sent someone to the pharmacy to ask for the previous doctor, but the one who came was a very young doctor.

He quickly cleaned Nie Feice's wound, applied medicine, and prescribed a decoction.

This time, Nie Feice didn't see the doctor clearly at all. This doctor was Gongsun Sheng's apprentice. It was reasonable to let Gongsun Sheng's apprentice come out to work since the previous doctor had gone out to avoid disaster.

I didn't do anything with the other party's medicine. The medicine I used was just ordinary herbs, so it won't get better too quickly.

Nie Feice needs to rest for at least one or two days before he can get up, and it will take at least ten days to fully recover.

The hidden weapon injuries of the Fushen Sect are really difficult to treat, otherwise they would not have become one of the eight major forces.

As long as Nie Feice doesn't join forces with Zong Cen, they won't be under much pressure.

Use Nie Feice's injury to delay his ability to act and make decisions, and attack their alliance separately.

The atmosphere in the city is actually still a bit tense. There has been no news from Xuanbing Mansion, and many guards from Xuanbing Mansion have appeared in the city, walking around, as if they are looking for something.

Such actions caused more gossip among the people in the city, and some people even wanted to gather a group of people to go up the mountain to ask Xuanbing Mansion for a promise.

Now that the eight major forces are all on the mountain, many people are unwilling to offend them, especially in this situation where they may offend everyone.

Teahouses and restaurants are noisy every day, and some people will cause trouble after drinking too much.

Merchants selling food are very happy, as their sales have increased a lot recently, even to the annual turnover.

The government is very busy every day, and from time to time they have to mediate fights between drunken gangs.

The competition will start in two days. By then, this group of people will go up the mountain to watch the competition, and they will be much more relaxed down the mountain during the day.

The people Wu Sen released came back and said that they found a strange phenomenon in an abandoned house in the south of the city.

From a distance, there seemed to be a big tree in the yard, but when I got closer, I found that I couldn't get into the yard no matter what.

After returning to Xuanbing Mansion's house in the city to report the situation, Wu Sen went to explore the way himself and found that he was indeed unable to get in.

The abnormal situation in this house was recorded, and the subordinates were asked to continue searching. If there was no other place, the master of the mansion should be looking for the tree in this yard.

News from Qi Cen kept coming up the mountain all day long, and the servants in the villa were also busy at this time.

If there is a banquet in the evening, the guests cannot be neglected. All kinds of arrangements must reflect the strength of Xuanbing Mansion. These things are basically taken care of by the housekeeper.

The current butler has actually been replaced. Qu Huisi discovered that the previous butler was in cahoots with Nie Feice and attempted to kill him. In the end, it was naturally him who killed the old butler.

Now, all the butlers are his people, who are trained by him and are trustworthy.

Nie Feice had already inserted a lot of people into Xuanbing Mansion before. After the incident with the old butler, Qu Huisi only cleaned out the people in the past few years.

It was precisely because their hands were chopped off that they chose to seek help from outside and used the opportunity of the appearance of the Singing Bird Dragon Stone to reach an agreement.

At this time, there were few people who could be used around Nie Feice, and there were basically no people who could be used around Zong Cen.

The two were now separated, and the already small number of manpower would be even smaller.

In the evening, lights began to be lit in the villa, and the dining area was arranged in a flower hall near the front hall, which had a good view and spacious space.

There is still one table per person, with screens placed around and lamps and flowers on display.

Song Ying didn't wear tight clothes when she went out this time, but she didn't wear any clothes with big sleeves either, mainly because she was afraid that she might need to fight in case of an emergency.

You can bring other young people from your family to this banquet. Each family can come with 6 people. Including Song Ying, there are exactly six people on her side. The yard can be guarded by the guards they brought.

The flower hall was already very lively at this time. The younger generations were basically all interacting with each other. There were no elders here, so there was no need to be restrained.

The older ones are Yuan Ning, Gongsun Sheng and Zong Cen. Yuan Ning and Gongsun Sheng are on the same front and can completely suppress Zong Cen.

After everyone had arrived, Qu Huisi (Qi Cen), the host of the banquet, came out. As soon as he came out, he greeted Yuan Ning and the other three, and then greeted everyone else.

"Thank you all for coming today. I would like to offer a toast to you all."

Qi Cen raised his glass first and toasted without saying anything else.

Originally, Zong Cen didn't want to drink, after all, he needed to stay sober now, but Yuan Ning and Gongsun Sheng, who were sitting opposite him, both drank, so he couldn't help but drink.

Now he can't afford to offend anyone, he only makes friends and doesn't offend anyone.

Seeing Yuan Ning and the others drinking, Yan Luo also raised her glass to drink, while Qi Guang sat next to them and drank tea.

This was how it was these past two days. They were eating meat and drinking wine, but Qi Guang could only eat vegetarian food and drink tea, and Yan Luo laughed at him several times.

"Master, I'm really sorry for today. The assassin escaped last night. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I apologize."

Qi Cen's main goal tonight is to persuade people to drink. If Zong Cen doesn't drink this apology wine, it means he has not forgiven the sinner. Zong Cen also doesn't want to give others a chance to criticize him, so he has to drink it.

At this time, the others began to eat and drink with people they knew.

Yuan Ning (Shi Muyuan) and Gongsun Sheng (Liu Zhongju) would raise their glasses and drink with Zong Cen from time to time.

This banquet naturally looked very harmonious. Halfway through the banquet, Qi Cen seemed to have drunk a little too much and started talking more.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader. I have already hidden the Singing Bird Dragon Stone. It will definitely not be stolen."

"Master Qu is very confident. I wonder if you have found the weapon passed down in your family."

Zong Cen was persuaded to drink more wine than Qi Cen at this time, and he was not as cautious as usual when speaking.

"Don't you have any idea whether the leader of the sect has been found?"

At this time, Qi Cen, under the influence of alcohol, began to talk nonsense.

He was holding the wine glass, but he dropped it while talking.

To outsiders, it looks like he is angry and embarrassed because he didn't find what he is looking for.
