While Zhao Yan sneered in her heart, she was also very surprised as to why Li Jie failed to come to the banquet.
She glanced at Huang An calmly, then turned her gaze to Li Shui and said with a smile:
"Since you've contracted the cold, let County Lieutenant Li take good care of yourself."
Li Shui's face became more and more embarrassed, and Zhao Yan's seriousness made him unable to bear it.
Moreover, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with the way everyone looked at him, and they felt like they were gloating about their misfortune.
My heart became heavier and heavier.
Could it be that they knew about my useless cousin and sent people to burn the account books and files?
The hatred and disgust in my heart for my cousin Li Jie reached its peak.
However, he still controlled his facial expression and made a gesture of gratitude. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Yan and thanked:
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern!"
He said something dryly, and then glanced at Huang An again, with a prayer in his eyes that was inconsistent with his identity.
Huang An's perception is as sharp as that of a warrior in the copper-skin realm. How could he not react to his gaze?
With a roll of his eyes and a thought, Huang An vaguely had the answer.
His perception was very keen, and he seemed to have understood the meaning of Li Shui's look.
He prayed that he would not hold Li Jie responsible for failing to come?
He asked himself to change the target of the beating for the sake of giving so many gifts and let the Li family go?
Huang An curled his lips, how could this be possible?
However, he was really curious about the reason why Li Jie failed to come to the banquet.
With a thought in his heart, Huang An made a bold guess.
Li Jie is a warrior, how could he be delayed by anything and miss such an important banquet?
There is only one answer.
Injuries and deaths.
Death was almost impossible, there was no news outside, and there was no trace of sadness on Li Shui's face.
There can only be one reason, and that is that Li Jie was injured and could not come.
However, he is a senior member of the Li family and a county captain. Who can let him get hurt?
At present, there is only one person, and that is Li Shui, who is pretending to be pitiful.
Huang An suddenly remembered Li Shui's livid face when he appeared just now, and he had a guess in his mind.
"Is it possible that Li Jie secretly sent Jian Tong to burn the account books and files yesterday, and Li Shui found out about it? Then Li Jie was beaten into a pig's head, and he didn't dare to go out?"
With a secret sneer in his heart, Huang An's eyes flashed and he took over the conversation.
"Since Lieutenant Li is feeling unwell, how about we go and visit together after a while?"
While speaking, he looked around at everyone present, and while looking at Zhao Yan, he also winked at Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment and nodded calmly.
She understood that today was the day of showdown with the Li family, and she also knew that Huang An had sent two groups of people to surround the Li family.
At this moment, Huang An proposed to go to Li's house together, and she naturally agreed.
Huang An's proposal was very unexpected.
Not to mention Li Shui, everyone in the venue was stunned.
How could Li Jie, that reckless man, be so virtuous and powerful as to allow a bunch of them to visit?
Those who are clever enough have already realized that Mr. Huang is planning to take action against the Li family.
They smiled and said nothing, just watching the fun.
Zhao Yan always believed in Huang An, understood what Huang An meant, and immediately started to cooperate.
She focused her eyes on Li Shui and asked warmly:
"That's okay. I've been busy with official duties these days. I'll take this opportunity to visit the Li family's mansion. I'm sure Mr. Li won't refuse, right?"
Before Li Shui could find a reason to refuse, she settled the matter.
Huang An and Zhao Yan both said this. Even if Li Shui disagreed ten thousand times in his heart, he could only agree now.
Besides, he really had no reason to refuse.
I even thought for a while that I had given Huang An and Zhao Yan recognition by sending two benefits in a row, and I wanted to take the opportunity of going to their home to get close to them.
The Li Family Mansion Garden is much better built than the City Lord's Mansion, and distinguished guests are often invited to the mansion.
In Li Shui's view, Huang An and Zhao Yan visited their home as an excuse, presumably to make good friends with their own family.
I must agree to it and cannot let this opportunity pass me by.
There are no longer copper-skin realm warriors in the family, and they are no longer the number one family that could overwhelm the entire Feng'an City in the past.
But the Li family still occupies the greatest advantage in the city.
The Li family, which has lost the protection of the Bronze Skin Realm warriors, is actually not much different from the current aristocratic families in the city.
In this case, we should quickly hit the snake with a stick and take the opportunity to curry favor with Huang An and City Lord Zhao. From now on, their Li family will still be one of the top big families and powerful forces in Feng'an City.
The more Li Shui thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and the more beautiful it became, the more he thought about it, and the bad mood caused by Li Jie completely recovered.
Without waiting for further thought, he quickly raised his hands and said:
"Master Zhao, Mr. Huang, since you two want to visit my Li family, my Li family will definitely sweep up the bed to welcome you. How about leaving it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?"
Obviously, Li Shui wanted to entertain the guests well and leave time to make preparations.
But since Huang An and Zhao Yan had already spoken, how could they prepare him?
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, the hidden gunpowder and saltpeter were discovered by the servants of the Li family. The Li family must be killed today.
Huang An immediately waved his hand and refused to answer.
"Hey, Mr. Li, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's do it today! We only have this time today, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get an opening in the future. Mr. Li, don't worry about being late. I'll ride over later, which will be convenient."
Huang An found a very reasonable reason. He smiled, pointed at everyone with his finger, and added:
"Everyone, let's go together. Let's go together. Today you can also try to see what it's like to ride the foreign horses on the grassland."
Many clan leaders also laughed when they heard this.
They were happy to support Huang An, and they all smiled happily.
Having said this, Li Shui could only agree.
He opened his mouth and invited all the clan leaders sitting there.
I felt very high-spirited for a moment, as if I had returned to the time when the Li family was still prosperous.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ever since two Bronze Skin Realm warriors in his family died and disappeared, Li Shui changed his past arrogant and unreasonable way of doing things.
He intended to improve the relationship with other families in the city and ease the past grudges and competition between the families.
The same is true for other families. Before the current situation becomes clear, they are happy to temporarily put aside their grudges and join forces.
When facing danger, unity is the best option for the weak.
All the clan leaders raised their glasses in unison to express their intention to go together.
The atmosphere became more and more lively, and everyone seemed to have become good friends who talked about everything.
Huang An had no intention of stopping the clan leaders, but instead agreed with them to go together.
Even inviting them to Li's house was Huang An's own initiative.
How boring it would be if no one was watching when giving big gifts to the Li family.
Showing kindness and power at the same time, in vain and in reality, who would have thought that his real purpose is to wipe out all the families present.
Li Shui deliberately sent someone to inform the palace in advance and asked his servants to make preparations for a banquet.
However, Huang An kept holding him and talking to him.
The topics were various. While Li Shui marveled at Huang An's knowledge, he was also secretly worried that he could not find a chance to escape.
For more than two hours, he couldn't find a chance to leave the main hall, so he called his youngest son to go back and make preparations.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet ended one hour early.
Li Shui couldn't hold it in any longer, so he put aside Huang An's hand and ran to the latrine with a begging look on his face.
He felt that if he held it in for a little longer, he would no longer be a man.
Soon, Li Shui and others came back.
Huang An stopped talking and waved to everyone.
"The horses are ready, brothers, please!"
Under the leadership of Huang An, everyone left the main hall and headed outside the martial arts hall.
Huang An and Zhao Yan led everyone outside, but Huang An always felt that something was missing around him.
Looking left and right, he immediately noticed that it was Luo Feiyao.
She didn't even follow!
Huang An was surprised and suspicious. The most important chess piece in eradicating the Li family was Luo Feiyao.
If she doesn't come, the effect won't be good enough.
Therefore, Huang An immediately turned his head and looked back.
Luo Feiyao, dressed in white, was standing behind him. When he looked over, Luo Feiyao was yawning.
She didn't seem to have the slightest intention to follow and watch the show. She seemed to want to catch up on her sleep.
It's broad daylight, why should you sleep?
Huang An immediately shouted:
"Follow me, let's go and learn more!"
Huang An urged, his tone was very casual or rude.
Luo Feiyao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Huang An would suddenly turn around and call her.
She originally didn't plan to go to Li's house, but since Huang An took the initiative to invite her, she reluctantly went there.
The party just now was too boring and she was too bored.
Of course, the most important reason was that she thought she had guessed Huang An's method of eradicating the Li family, and was not interested in seeing the results.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward to catch up.
Zhao Yan, who was next to Huang An, looked slightly stiff. Why did she feel that the relationship between junior brother and Luo Feiyao was a little abnormal?
Fortunately, she understood Huang An's personality, so she didn't say anything.
However, Li Shui and the others behind Huang An were completely stunned.
The eyes that looked at Huang An were full of surprise.
I felt even more shocked in my heart.
Good guy, did Huang An talk to Master Luo Feiyao so casually?
It wasn't obvious at the banquet table just now, but now with this sentence, the attitude is very obvious.
Why do you sound like this, you don't have any respect for Luo Feiyao?
She is Lord Luo's beloved daughter.
Huang An, why should he?
Shouldn't he be as respectful as people like himself?
Why so casually?
What's more important is that Lord Luo Feiyao seems to be quite happy.
The young men walking at the end naturally heard it and saw what happened in front of them. They all took a deep breath and were shocked in their hearts.
It was like they were meeting Huang An for the first time, and they truly admired Huang An for the first time.
In the past, they looked down on Huang An, but now, they only admire him.
Huang An's courage and attitude towards Luo Feiyao were already beyond their reach.
Not to mention Luo Feiyao, they didn't even dare to talk to Zhao Yan, who they had met several times before.
The gap in identity, strength and background gave them a deep sense of inferiority when facing Zhao Yan.
The concept of superiority and inferiority is vividly reflected in them.
He is also a young man, and Huang An is the junior brother of City Lord Zhao. I heard that the two senior brothers have a quarrel with each other, and Huang An is expected to become Lord Zhao Dun's son-in-law in the future.
But they can only dominate in Feng'an City. Before attending the banquet today, their father or uncle and other elders gave them many warnings.
They must not offend Lord Zhao Yan, they are not even qualified to talk to Lord Zhao Yan and City Lord Zhao.
Of course, they don't have the courage now.
In front of City Lord Zhao, their older peers were automatically a generation younger.
In terms of attitude towards Luo Feiyao, the gap between them and Huang An is even greater.
Before setting off, the elders asked them not to laugh, peek, or look directly at Lord Zhao Yan and Lord Luo Feiyao.
Anyone who dares to lose etiquette will have their legs broken.
They couldn't even look at each other, but Huang An was so casual about these two fairy-like women.
For this courage, they can only say one word, "submit".
