In her previous life, Wen Zhenyi was ostensibly a top chef, but secretly a bounty hunter. Unexpectedly, a car accident transported her into the body of a foolish girl in a fictional dynasty.

Chapter 337 Arena
Wen Zhenyi looked at him and smiled: "There are so many riddles here, there must be one you know."
Wen Yongman perked up again and started looking for riddles he knew.
Shen Hanxing walked beside her: “Does this count as hitting with a stick and giving a sweet date?”
"You can't keep fighting!"
After they walked around, Wen Yongman actually found something he could make and gave the little rabbit lantern he had welcomed to Wen Zhenyi.
Wen Zhenyi accepted it with a smile: "It looks really good."
Wen Yongman was very happy.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the lantern that Wen Yongnan handed to him: "Brother, what did you guess?"
"Well, the lights look pretty nice to me."
"nice."
After walking around, Wen Zhenyi already had quite a few lanterns in his hands.
Shen Hanxing didn't guess the riddles, but just watched from both sides of the street.
"Dang dang dang!" A stage was built in front, and someone on it was beating a gong.
Wen Zhenyi and the others were also attracted by the sound.
The person on the stage saw more people gathered around and shouted at the top of his voice: "Now it's time to compete for this year's Lantern King. The rules are: if you can answer all the riddles, you can take this year's Lantern King home."
"What Lantern King? What kind?"
"Don't worry, I'll invite you up right away."
As soon as the words fell, a glass lamp appeared above the arena, and the candlelight emitted a colorful splendor under the reflection of the glass lamp.
The onlookers below were all amazed. The glass lantern was exquisitely made and had a unique shape.
The host on the stage then said, "This one was shipped from the sea. Due to the bumpy ride, only this one is left. Our host gave it to everyone as a reward, so everyone should sign up!"
Wen Zhenyi looked at the glass lantern and thought it was quite beautiful.
Shen Hanxing saw her looking at the glass lamp: "Do you like it?"
"like."
Shen Hanxing walked onto the stage without saying a word.
Even Wen Yongnan, Ma Yushun, Meng Yongchun, Meng Yongyuan, Song Yi, Cheng Lesheng and Lei Jiayang were included.
Several people looked at each other, and they all seemed to be ready to fight.
Wen Yongman and Ma Ruier held Wen Zhenyi's hand: "Sister, who do you think will win in the end?"
"It's hard to say, let's just wait and see."
The hustle and bustle here attracted most of the people on the street, making the arena unusually crowded.
Wen Zhenyi pulled the two of them back and out of the crowd.
Shen Hanxing looked towards their location, only to see them withdraw from the crowd.
Wen Zhenyi pointed to the teahouse next to him.
Chen Hanxing understood clearly that they were going to the teahouse to watch.
When Wen Zhenyi and the others arrived at the teahouse, it was also full of guests.
However, the waiter still took them to another window seat, where they could only stand and there were no seats.
"Miss Wen."
When Wen Zhen heard someone calling her, she turned around curiously and saw Grandpa Wang from the town's teahouse standing not far behind her: "Grandpa Wang."
"Are you here to see the lanterns?"
"They're not competing in the arena down there. There are too many people down there, so I wanted to come up to the teahouse and take a look."
Grandpa Wang smiled and said, "Come with me."
Wen Zhenyi, his younger brother and sister followed him up to the third floor, where there was only one room: "This is your study."
"This is also my property. I didn't expect to run into you here."
"I just met an important person when I went out."
"Haha, if there's a chance, I'd like to work with you."
"What does Grandpa Wang want to cooperate with me on?"
"Don't worry, just look at the arena first."
Wen Zhenyi sat on the edge of the bed with his younger brother and sister, looking down.
The view here is very good, and you can see the scenery below.
No one else came up to the ring, and the competition began.
In order to prevent everyone from cheating, all the questions are written.
The questions in the first few rounds were relatively simple. As the difficulty of the questions increased, the people on the stage gradually lost.
By the end, only a few people she knew were left.
"Brother Shen, can't you show some mercy?" Meng Yongyuan felt a headache just seeing him.
"Brother Meng, maybe not."
Song Yi felt a headache: "Are you going to fight us to the death?"
"That's what I meant. I just wanted to welcome the lanterns."
"You're not married yet, so you can't let us?"
"Although I'm not married, I do have a fiancée." He looked at Cheng Lesheng and said, "You should let Lesheng withdraw."
Cheng Lesheng was speechless: "Why did you involve me?"
Lei Jiayang looked at him and said, "That's right, you're not engaged yet, why are you joining in the fun?"
"What do you care? I just think it looks nice. Why don't I take it home and hang it in my room to enjoy it? Besides, am I the only one who's not engaged?"
The others looked at Wen Yongnan and Ma Yushun and said, "Can you two just stop joining in the fun?"
The two replied calmly: "We are going to give it to our sister."
The others were so angry that they almost strangled them to death. Shen Hanxing alone was enough to give them a headache, and now there were these two brothers.
The tense situation on the stage really made the people below the stage watch with great interest.
When Wen Zhenyi was looking up, he accidentally saw several figures.
She squinted her eyes and looked at some places, frowning slightly: "Grandpa Wang, are you hosting this competition?"
Boss Wang was originally looking at the accounts. He was a little confused by her sudden question, but he still shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"
Wen Zhenyi frowned even more tightly: "I'm afraid something is going to happen."
Boss Wang immediately stood up and walked to the window: "What's wrong?"
Wen Zhenyi pointed out a few places to him: "Pay attention to these places."
Although Boss Wang is old, he is not old and his eyesight is not blurry: "This is..."
"I have to go tell Magistrate Lei to close the city gates, otherwise something terrible might happen today. I'd also like to trouble you to look after my two younger siblings."
"Okay, be careful."
"Sister." Wen Yongman held her hand.
"Xiao Man, stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back."
"But."
"No buts."
Ma Ruier grabbed Wen Yongman at this time: "Cousin, we will wait here for my brother and the others to come back."
Wen Zhen nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Zuixianju, hoping that they were still there.
County Magistrate Lei and his men were still drinking at Zuixianju. After today, it would be a new year again.
When Wen Zhenyi ran in, they were all a little surprised: "Miss Wen, didn't you go to see the lanterns?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. You have to close the city gates."
"Why?" County Magistrate Lei was now a little drunk.
"The beggars have arrested quite a few people. If you delay any longer, they will have already left the city and it will be difficult for you to catch them."
"What? Are you serious?" County Magistrate Lei was almost sober and stood up from his chair.
