Mingmei shifted her attention from the live stream and looked at Julian and Charlie sitting in the corner. In the chaos just now, she was still unsure which of the two of them had hidden Lu Xiaoyao.

Why not observe it now?

"What are you looking at?"

It's unclear what got into this tyrant, but he suddenly became indifferent, having gone from being violent and ruthless to being cold and aloof. Because of his injury, he stopped drinking and didn't touch the food placed in front of him. Instead, he whispered to Mingmei beside him.

"banquet."

"Is it pretty?"

"..." Whether it looks good or not has nothing to do with her.

Mingmei lowered her eyes, unable to answer these questions. This tyrant was only somewhat normal when he was lying there injured, letting her apply medicine and allowing her to "do whatever she wanted."

This tyrant is really something; the moment he gets even a little better, he doesn't seem as likable as before.

She felt that this tyrant reminded her a bit of the young master of the Zhang family, but Mingmei didn't want to ask him directly.

The NPCs in this script are much more troublesome than those in the starting village, and this tyrant doesn't seem like he's just a side character.

Thinking about it, Mingmei felt a little frustrated. She had sold out of her boxed lunches, but because of the tyrant's detention, she was stuck here watching the plot unfold, which was incredibly boring!

Just as Mingmei was wondering when the assassination plot involving the Hua Liang envoys would begin, and whether there would be a midnight countdown, the Hua Liang envoys finally made their appearance.

The man who had been protecting Charlie and Julian during the day was finally about to speak, saying that the purpose of their trip was to surrender and present a letter of surrender and a map of China and Liang.

As Lord Cui was speaking, Julian and Charlie exchanged a glance. Charlie frowned and left when no one was looking.

Julian sat there with a stiff smile, his eyes fixed on the dagger pressed against his inner thigh and his wrists held down by the other man.

grass?

What the hell is this?!

"Take me out of here!"

“You can’t get out. Going out means certain death.” Julian calmly picked up his wine cup and covered his mouth with his wide sleeves, whispering, “The soldiers who came in just now are not far behind me. They will notice you as soon as you climb out.”

Once discovered, neither he nor Lu Xiaoyao will be able to escape!

"Then you're not allowed to move either!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing the row of large feet behind Julian through the gap in the tablecloth she had secretly lifted, Lu Xiaoyao knew that he was not lying.

Knowing the dire consequences of being exposed, Lu Xiaoyao naturally wouldn't act rashly, but she also wouldn't let Julian go.

What if he leaves and accidentally exposes her again?

It would be better to use her as a "shield"!

From initially being extremely disgusted to now desperately wanting it, Lu Xiaoyao says, "It's so good!"

Julian put down his wine glass, squinted, and sat there watching Lord Cui standing diagonally in front of him, saying a lot of things.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the group of soldiers behind him, his gaze shifting back and forth between the distance behind him and the banquet hall.

Julian poured himself another glass of wine, downed it in one gulp, and then looked toward the tyrant on the stage, his eyes unconsciously darkening.

He was now entangled with Lu Xiaoyao, and Charlie couldn't complete the next steps on his own.

Do you want to live?

Julian's question immediately put Lu Xiaoyao on guard, and she asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Cover my rear later."

"Hmm?" Lu Xiaoyao blinked, lying next to Julian's legs, pondering what he meant. Then she heard a voice in her ear, inviting some envoy to come forward and present a letter of surrender to the tyrant.

Mingmei then saw clearly who had sent the surrender document—it was Charlie.

With both hands respectfully holding the letter of surrender and the map of Hualiang above his head, Charlie stepped forward to present them to the tyrant.

Mingmei instinctively moved away from the tyrant, because the next part of the story was simple—the truth would be revealed.

Thinking back to the scene where Bai Xiao was pushed to the limit in the last round, Mingmei couldn't believe they hadn't seen what just happened.

If the other party tries to stab her again, Mingmei isn't sure if she'll take over the villain's role herself and personally send away any player who dares to brandish a knife at her.

She has a bit of a temper when she sells boxed lunches!

Charlie stepped forward with his head down, and naturally caught a glimpse of those small feet far from the tyrant. He couldn't help but press his lips down.

Is it that obvious that he has a problem?

Charlie originally thought that Julian was currently being held back by another player, and he was facing the tyrant alone. If he wanted to successfully restrain the tyrant, he would naturally want to take advantage of the tyrant's "weakness".

However, seeing the little foot that didn't move at all, Charlie's heart sank: Are NPCs becoming sentient these days?

The tyrant looked at the surrender document presented and the neatly rolled-up map beside him, and naturally reached out to read it. Mingmei had unknowingly moved a distance away from the tyrant and naturally did not notice the mischievous look in his eyes.

The tyrant unfolded the map with incredible speed, but Charlie reacted even faster!

The moment the dagger appeared, Charlie snatched it away and used his other hand to lift the tray and smash it directly into the other man's face.

This sudden change in the game prompted the soldiers who were already standing in the banquet hall to react immediately, and their first priority was to take down the envoys who had not yet been able to participate.

Those envoys who were sitting there but did not participate in the proceedings were their first targets!

Suddenly, Julian kicked the table in front of him, and the table exploded, pulling Lu Xiaoyao up and shoving her towards the soldiers behind him.
