The banquet was held in the largest outdoor banquet hall in Mengyuan.
At the beginning, this group of guests were a little worried about whether they would be bitten by mosquitoes when they sat down, or whether the food would be cold and impossible to eat.
But in fact, the banquet at Mengyuan is indeed extraordinary.
Not only was the food delicious and delicious, but there were no mosquitoes flying around, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers floating around.
After everyone was seated, Mrs. Gan, accompanied by Lin Mengya, held Xiao Fubao's little hand and walked in with a smile from outside.
"Hail, old lady!"
"The old lady is in good health and has a long life!"
All the guests stood up and greeted Mrs. Gan.
But they didn't come close, they just stood there and behaved very well.
This is true education.
If they blindly please Mrs. Gan but forget whose banquet this is, that would be truly rude, and no one will invite them over again in the future.
When Mrs. Gan sat down at the table, she realized that the people sitting on her left and right were not ordinary people.
Lin Mengya introduced them one by one.
Not to mention Mrs. Mai, Aunt Rong, and Aunt Ye, as her relatives, Aunt Fang naturally has to be closer.
Mrs. Jing, who originally did not want to attend, now also appeared at the banquet.
His eyes met with Mrs. Gan's, and then they separated.
From the surface, it is impossible to tell that the two people are actually old acquaintances.
"Okay, everyone, sit down! It's hard for everyone. If you can spare time to accompany me, an old woman, then today, I will also lend you a glass of water and wine from Boss Huo. I wish you all happiness, longevity and health, and that all your wishes will come true."
Everyone toasted together, and the atmosphere became very warm and harmonious.
There were all women at the banquet, so naturally they were more lively and contented.
Although Mrs. Gan is old, she is very resourceful and capable. Although she remains calm when talking to people, she can see into people's hearts.
No matter what it is, as long as it is shown in front of her, she can see it clearly.
At the banquet, many people came to toast, and Mrs. Gan took care of them all. After all, what she drank was not wine, but a sweet drink specially prepared for her by Lin Mengya.
The clear and sweet taste really made her like it.
After a few rounds of this, everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and at this time the singing and dancing that Lin Mengya had mentally prepared came in handy.
This song and dance is not the kind of melodious music, but a lively Hu Xuan dance.
This was the first time for everyone to see this, and they couldn't help but be amazed.
Lin Mengya, the master, also quietly stepped aside, but was somewhat surprised to see Mrs. Jing who was wiping her long sword.
"But the food and wine are not to Madam's liking?" she asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Jing was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was talking to her, so she smiled lightly and shook her head.
"No, there is something on my mind."
"What's the matter?" Lin Mengya asked subconsciously.
But before Mrs. Jing could answer her, Bai Su ran over with a solemn expression and whispered a few words to Lin Mengya.
"Really?" She also frowned, looking at Bai Su with a bit of disbelief in her eyes.
The latter nodded, "It's absolutely true. The news came from spies outside. It can't be wrong."
Mrs. Jing was also attracted by their master and servant, but she did not take offense and asked.
Lin Mengya looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Our people found some suspicious people outside. Perhaps their target is Harbor City."
"Well, their target is here. Boss Huo, keep the doors and windows tightly shut tonight, don't let thieves take advantage of you."
Mrs. Jing's voice was calm, but her face showed no surprise.
Only then did Lin Mengya realize that Mrs. Jing already knew what happened tonight?
At this time, there was a lot of singing and dancing, but Mrs. Jing stood up and walked out with a long knife in her hand.
For some reason, Lin Mengya always felt that there seemed to be a faint evil aura about Mrs. Jing tonight.
The banquet did not last long. Everyone was concerned about Mrs. Gan's poor health, so after she left the party, they also took the initiative to say goodbye.
Lin Mengya sent everyone out one by one, but as soon as she reached the door, she realized something was wrong!
There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
"Everyone, wait a minute!" She asked all the carriages to temporarily stop in the garden, and then led the people to the door.
The surrounding streets were quiet and there was no one around.
wrong!
"Bai Su! Let everyone be on guard together and block all passages in and out!"
"Bai Ying, go and appease the guests! Send all the stranded guests to the guest rooms, and then send someone to guard them!"
It is impossible for these banquet guests to walk home on their own.
Not far away is the carriage parking lot she built. When the time comes, the carriages will line up at the door to take their owners back.
But now, no! Not a single car!
Even if one or two are negligent, it’s impossible for everyone to be negligent, right?
Bai Su rushed to the control and smashed the emergency device.
The next moment, a thick and tall wooden door fell from the sky, directly blocking the entrance.
As a result, at the same time, Lin Mengya heard the sound of "kick, kick, kick, kick", like rain hitting an empty barrel, but her expression changed.
This is an arrow!
Everyone's expressions were a little tense. Although the guests didn't know what happened, they didn't dare to speak when they saw the looks on the guards' faces.
Lin Mengya asked people to stay here and report the situation at any time, and then turned back to appease the guests.
"Boss Huo! What happened?"
"That's right! We're still waiting to go home and rest!"
"The kids are all sleepy. Boss Huo, what's going on outside?"
Lin Mengya didn't know what was going on outside yet, so she could only do her best to comfort him.
"Everyone, please rest assured. There was something going on outside just now. I have sent people out to investigate. Please go to our guest rooms to rest first. If there is any new situation, I will tell you in time!"
Although everyone was a little puzzled, they also knew that Mengyuan had no reason to detain them.
Some of the more sensitive people have already faintly smelled the smell of impending rain in the air.
As her friends, Mai's mother and daughter deliberately stayed at the end. At the same time, they were also comforting the ladies with whom they had a good relationship.
After everyone had evacuated, the Mai family's mother and daughter took her hand and asked, "Boss Huo, what on earth is going on?"
Lin Mengya shook her head. Although she didn't know what happened, she was sure that the other party was evil!
"You guys go in and rest first, I'll go out and take a look."
"Sister Huo, you have to be careful!" Mai Shuting warned Lin Mengya worriedly.
The latter nodded, turned around and went outside.
At this time, Bai Su and Bai Ying have already led people to guard various rooms and key passages. Even if someone sneaks in, they will not be allowed to hurt the guests!
Fortunately, the news from outside was quickly sent in.
"Master! Someone took advantage of the darkness to attack various shops in Harbor City, causing many casualties. And their goals are very clear. One is for money, and the other is for people."
"Who? Who?" Lin Mengya asked doubtfully.
The man continued: "All young men and women will be captured by them, and these people are cruel. I watched from a distance, for fear of being discovered by them. When they left, I went over to look, and saw those who dared to stop them.
Everyone was killed!"
"How could this happen?" Lin Mengya asked in surprise.
She had seen such a domineering behavior several times before, but that was only on rare occasions.
"What about the others? Didn't they stand up and resist?"
The guard shook his head, "It's useless! Those people are not ordinary people. I think they should be trained regular soldiers."
"Various merchants and aristocratic families here in Harbor City also support nursing homes and thugs, but they are no match for that group of people!"
Lin Mengya then remembered that there was actually a garrison not far outside Harbor City.
Because there is no big family here that can afford to support the army, they usually choose to pay a large amount of wealth every year and then get the protection of a big family or the army.
"Has anyone gone out to report the news? Where are the garrison troops? It is their responsibility to protect Harbor City!"
But the guard's face looked a little ugly.
"It's useless. The news I overheard is that they may be in the same group as the garrison, or that this group of people is more powerful than the garrison."
Could it be that Harbor City is destined to be bloodbathed tonight?
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya felt a chill coming down to her bones.
But, why is it Harbor City?
Before she could come up with an answer, she heard Bai Ying reporting that someone was attacking Mengyuan's defense!
"Everyone, please hold on to me and hold on until tomorrow morning. I'll find a way!"
Now! They can only save themselves!
Fortunately, they had already rehearsed this situation before coming here, so everyone was caught off guard, but they were not caught unawares.
Lin Mengya had someone send a signal, so that people on the big ship outside the city would also receive the message and come to the rescue with weapons and personnel.
There were about a few thousand troops outside.
Harbor City has a large permanent population, but most of them have no combat experience and are no match for these people.
Her people came with weapons and should be able to resist for a while, at least to ensure the safety of Mengyuan.
But, what happens after that?
Lin Mengya was about to go back and prepare more poison, but unexpectedly, she stopped and walked into the house where those people were imprisoned.
She always felt that this couldn't be such a coincidence!
So, she prepared to give the instructors of these women's colleges a good trial.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them entered, a dark shadow jumped out.
Bai Su was extremely fast and immediately protected her behind him.
And she also took action subconsciously, shooting out the dark crossbow in her hand!
With a "plop", the dead body fell to the ground.
Lin Mengya took a closer look and saw that it was one of the female instructors!
A chill slowly grew in her heart, could it be——
The two hurriedly entered the house, but only saw the body inside.
