On the night of the banquet, Ning Nanyou wore a wide robe, covering his slightly bent body due to the pain of the wound. He sat in the main seat, looked at the officials on the seats on both sides, and then looked at the civilians who were happily talking in the courtyard, with some suspicion in his eyes.

The reason why he held this banquet was that the Fuling officials who did not want to visit frequently noticed the abnormality and found that he was injured was to spread the news through chats by ordinary people.

In addition, he also has the meaning of testing the person behind the scenes.

On that day, when he went to rescue Liao Yuncheng who was trapped in a fight, the white-clothed swordsmen shot him with a long blade that cut off the hilt while retreating, and saw him seriously injured and unconscious.

However, after Fu Chen and Liao Yuncheng rescued him, they completely blocked the news. Naturally, these people had no way to inquire about his current situation and did not know what his injuries were. Since the people behind the scenes sent killers to take their lives and trap the mission's pace, they must have wanted to understand his situation. If they see that the mission will set off again, they will definitely kill again.

Ning Nanyou held a banquet at this time, just deliberately letting out the news, intending to arouse the people behind the scenes to kill again.

In front of everyone, he raised the wine bottle, bowed slightly to the hall with both hands and said, "Everyone, the banquet tonight is a farewell banquet for my king. The mission has been staying in Fuling for too long and has delayed his mission. You should not stay any longer. Now the official documents for the transit have been approved, and it is time for me to leave here and go to Jianning, Zhonggong. All of you are the pillars of Fuling County, and I hope to continue to work diligently in official duties and benefit the people!"

After saying that, he put the wine bottle in his hand on his lips, then leaned back and drank it all.

Seeing this, the officials sitting on both sides of the hall also picked up the wine bottles on the desk.

After two more times, Ning Nanyou finally couldn't hold on. He found an excuse and hurriedly left the banquet on the spot and headed to the second floor private room.

Liao Yuncheng had been waiting there with the doctor for a long time. Seeing the boy coming in with alcohol, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Lord? The doctor has not told you that you must not drink alcohol. What are you?"

Ning Nanyou waved his hand, picked up a cup of water from the tea table with dry mouth and drank it, and then found a rest. He walked under the windowsill and sat cross-legged on the soft mat there: "Only one, why are you so anxious? If I don't drink it, how can I avoid the eyes of those semen?"

Liao Yuncheng sighed helplessly, but did not dare to respond, so he could only stand beside him with a worried look on his face.

Ning Nanyou raised his eyes and looked at him lazily, and asked softly: "You came here to sigh in the private room?"

Liao Yuncheng's face froze slightly and said, "Of course not."

"The subordinates came to inform the lord that the outside of Chunfu had been arranged properly. If the thieves attacked tonight, they would be captured immediately."

Unexpectedly, the husband shook his head and said, "They won't come tonight."

Liao Yuncheng asked in surprise: "Why?"

"They cannot fully understand the situation of the banquet tonight. I wonder if the injuries on my body are cured. Besides... the defense around Chunfuli is so tight, how could they fall into the trap?"

"Then... I will now ask the brothers guarding the outside world to retreat halfway and make a loophole?"

The husband shook his head and said, "No need to do this. This will alarm the snake instead. Let's just do it, and make them think I have set a trap and wait for them to jump into it, and their guard will naturally not be so great in the future."

Liao Yuncheng asked in confusion: "In the future?"

Ning Nanyou refused to say more and said, "Wait patiently. Tonight, the news that I just left the mission to leave Fuling was spread. It was still early. They acted vigilant and would definitely take action after they were very sure."

Liao Yuncheng nodded, and then he understood what Ning Nanyou’s arrangements are all about tonight.

The husband under the windowsill glanced out at the sky and lowered his eyes in a little disappointed manner. He leaned against the bluestone brick wall and looked leisurely with a book. Seeing this, Liao Yuncheng tactfully called the doctors and servants to retreat.

Ning Nanyou's eyes narrowed, and he slowly put down the book. He groped and took out a blue purse from his arms. He looked at the candlelight under the window, and felt dim and sad for a moment. One corner of the purse was dyed red with blood, and it looked like a brilliant blooming flower. He stared at the boy and girl embroidered on the purse, and a gentle smile slowly rose from the corner of his lips.

The bright moon gradually sank into the sea. As the sun rises and rises eastward, a layer of mist gradually drifts away to the county town.

After this big banquet, many people in Fuling County had a better impression of King Rui, believing that he was not like other princes, only able to put on high-profile appearances, with an unusually gentle personality, and treated people steadily and properly, and was not as bloodthirsty as the rumors said, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Liao Yuncheng was guarding the city all day long, and often heard the comments about Ning Nanyou in restaurants and teahouses. Those praises made his eyes straight, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

After he became the Jingshu Guard, he never heard outsiders say good things about his master. Now, he suddenly heard it and felt uncomfortable all over.

It is said that the county town praised King Rui and he should be happy, but now Liao Yuncheng is still more worried. He is afraid that what should he do if the rumor spreads to the capital and falls into the ears of the emperor and the Huai King?

Liao Yuncheng thought about this matter carefully and could not ignore it. He secretly sent someone to block all the news in the city, and did not allow it to spread. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

In the half month after the banquet, the spring was as quiet as usual. The remaining half of the officials in the group came and went and settled all kinds of things. The servants prepared horses and luggage, but they seemed particularly orderly in their busy schedules.

In the evening, a layer of blood was dyed in the sky, and the bright clouds fell from a distance, falling on the eaves, like a layer of golden silk that was dazzling.

Ning Nanyou leaned against the railing, looking at the scene downstairs in a daze.

At this time, a little maid held a table with a tea cup on it, lowered her face and lowered her eyes, walked quietly into the room, and shouted to the husband leaning by the window, "King, General Liao asked me to send you a cup of ginseng tea."

Ning Nanyou glanced back with his light, frowned slightly, and asked quietly: "Put it on the table, I will drink it, you can go out."

The maid responded quickly, "See me."

She carefully put down the food table in her hand and was about to take out something from her sleeve, but a slender hand suddenly appeared in front of her, clasped on her wrist like jade. The maid was shocked, her face was as pale as snow. She raised her eyes and looked forward. A pair of dark and deep, cold eyes crashed into her vision. The maid was stunned. When she reacted, she hurriedly wanted to pull her hand away, but she couldn't use any force.

She looked up again, but saw a smile on the corner of the man's lips. The smile was very cold and thin, and it was even more solemn.

The maid immediately knelt down, lowered her head vigorously, and did not dare to look at him again, and kept saying, "The king... I am really damn."

"You really shocked me. Judging from your age, why do you think so cruel?"

Ning Nanyou pinched her wrist through a layer of sleeves, and his eyes were filled with disgust. The little maid immediately shook all over and said stutteringly: "I, I don't know what the king is talking about?"

"I don't know what I am talking about?" Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows lightly, and frowned her wrist with a smile, slowly increasing the intensity. The maid's face became paler, her facial features were frowning together, and her lips gradually turned white.

She wanted to open her mouth, but she was so painful that she couldn't speak. She could only keep trembling, and cold sweat oozing out from her forehead.

Ning Nanyou looked at her coldly, and waited for a layer of blood to dye her sleeve on her wrist before she suddenly let her go. The little maid did not kneel firmly for a moment, and staggered to the ground, and the short blade hidden in her sleeve also fell out.

Her expression was a little more in a hurry than before. She stared at the knife that fell to the ground and shook her whole body into a sieve.

Ning Nanyou raised his eyes and stared at her indifferently: "Tell me, who sent you here."

The little maid kept silent, and there was a sense of hatred in her eyes. She calmed down, glanced at the short blade beside her, and instantly reached out. Unexpectedly, the husband, who had been in the case, was extremely fast after the case. He turned around neatly and jumped over from the case, kicking the short blade away with one kick.

Seeing that the little maid had lost her weapons, she simply got up and fought with him. She had some skills on her body, which was very similar to the swordsman in white who attacked Liao Yuncheng that day.

After a few tricks back and forth, Ning Nanyou took her down without any effort. The noise caused by the private room also led the guards guards outside in. The little maid was surrounded by a group of people, and she could not struggle to escape, so she stopped unwillingly.

Liao Yuncheng hurried back to Chunfuli after receiving the news, and knelt in panic in front of Ning Nanyou and said, "Lord, forgive me for your crime... I'm late, please punish me!"

Ning Nanyou waved her hand and said, "Take her down, interrogate her carefully, and be sure to find out her background."

Liao Yuncheng nodded immediately and replied, "I understand."

The little maid was rudely lifted up by the guards and dragged her out of the house without any mercy. When everyone dragged her to the door, the little maid suddenly reached out and locked the door frame tightly and shouted loudly: "Ning Nanyou! You beast! You must die a good death! I must kill you today! Only then can I live up to the instructions of my senior brothers and sisters!"

She suddenly reached out to grab the sword from the waist of the soldier, and was about to stab it at the opportunity. Liao Yuncheng quickly knocked off the sword from her hand, and then punched her hard on the neck with bare hands. The little maid could not resist such an impact, and suddenly lost her strength and fainted instantly.

Liao Yuncheng immediately ordered someone to take her away, and the private room became empty.

Ning Nanyou saw that everyone had retreated, then he breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to cover the painful area of ​​his chest.
