Unfortunately, the melon-shaped hat on her head began to block her view. A circle of colorful beads kept swaying in front of her eyes. She really couldn't stand it. She looked around and saw that no one cared about her, a little maid. So she secretly stretched out a finger, lifted up a few strings of beads in front of her and stuffed them into her hair. Her vision instantly became much clearer.
As the scene became clearer, a figure instantly caught her eye.
Not far away across from her sat a young man, whom she had just met not long ago. He was the young master Jia who had hired her for a large sum of money to escort him into Tongcheng.
Xiao Nanhui's heart was filled with alarm. How could this person's route be exactly the same as hers? Could it be that the Bai family had noticed something and sent someone to test her?
But when she thought carefully about some of their previous encounters in Tongcheng, she felt that the other party did not look like a cunning person, and even seemed a little stupid and ignorant of the affairs of the world. Otherwise, he would not have gone alone to Lingxi, the most chaotic place at the moment, without even bringing anyone close to him.
It was the same now. Mr. Jia was not good at socializing. He just lowered his head and drank the wine poured by the maid behind him. He drank one glass after another, and drank as many glasses as he wanted. He seemed to have no idea what the wine in the glass tasted like. His eyes kept wandering between the guests and the entrance, as if he was looking for someone.
In fact, he was not the only guest with a wandering gaze. This was a very crowded party, and most of the attendees were there to watch the fun, wanting to see how this "business" between the Bai and Sun families would end, and whether they could take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
The splendor, fine wines, elegant clothes and beautiful women are all deceptions.
This is a feast in the wilderness, and those who come to the feast are all tigers and wolves.
At first glance, Master Jia looked no different from the others at the table, but a closer look at the emotions in his eyes revealed that there was little gloating or trying to please everyone, but instead a hint of anxiety, which made him look out of place with his posture of being surrounded by women.
This guy doesn't look right.
But Xiao Nanhui couldn't figure out what was wrong for the time being, so he had to keep an eye on it and wait until the meal started to observe further.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the gate. It seemed that another important person had arrived. The scene was so grand that the noise was heard before the person arrived.
"Master Pan has arrived!"
Oh, this is Pan Meir, the famous female bandit leader in Bijiang.
Xiao Nanhui had noticed this person when he heard Wu Xiaoliu talking about her before. Although Pan Meir'er's name sounds like the name of a brothel girl, the real person is a real female devil who kills people without blinking an eye.
Legend has it that Pan Meir was originally the daughter of a wealthy landlord in the Suyan area. Years of drought left her family destitute, and she was then attacked by refugees, forcing her family to flee and plunder. Only Pan Meir and her brother survived. Following her brother into banditry, Pan Meir's personality changed dramatically after witnessing the devastation her family endured. The daily grind of robbery and murder gradually transformed her into the fierce, ferocious person she is today.
A few years ago, her brother was struck by a stray arrow during a strangulation operation. After struggling for half a month, he finally died. A scramble for the position of village leader erupted within the village. Pan Mei'er was extremely suspicious, preferring to kill the wrong person rather than let him go. Unfortunately, the leader of the rebels didn't even have a chance to defect. Pan Mei'er had his tendons cut out and left him to feed the wolves in the desert.
Since then, Pan Meir's status was finally established. Everyone around her was trembling with fear, and they were more afraid of her than in awe of her. In addition, Pan Meir also had some tricks, and somehow she hooked up with people from the Bai family. In recent years, she has become more and more popular.
Two rows of big men stood in line, all with their heads bowed respectfully. After a moment, footsteps came into the inner room, and a woman with a very charming figure walked in slowly.
Xiao Nanhui was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman's face, and then he finally understood why those riders looked strange when they saw her face at Sanmu Pass.
Pan Meir's face was about 50% similar to hers.
If she took off the disguise on her face, she might be 70% or 80% better.
Pan Meir's eyebrows and eyes are more charming, her lips are thinner, and her facial features are not as round as Xiao Nanhui's. Her hair has turned brown due to years of exposure to wind, sand and scorching sun, with a few strands of silver hair in it. Although she is still no more than thirty years old, she has already shown some vicissitudes of life, and she does not hide this at all. This makes her charming figure look a bit difficult to mess with even when standing among a group of men.
"Master Sun, how are you?"
Pan Meir smiled as she walked towards the governor Sun who was sitting in the main seat. Her voice was just the right amount of coquettishness. It was the kind of voice that women usually use when talking to men. It was not clear, but rather a bit hoarse, which made people feel itchy.
Prefect Sun had a look of great pleasure on his face. He stood up to greet her and caressed the beauty's arm. Xiao Nanhui watched in silence, beginning to understand why this woman had been able to maintain her position amidst so many forces.
Pan Meir brought more than twenty or thirty people with her. After they sat down, there were only a few seats left. Just when Xiao Nanhui thought that no one else would come, another figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the hall.
He was a man, but his footsteps were lighter than those of the most graceful dancer.
Of the people Xiao Nanhui knew, only Xiao Zhun and Ding Weixiang were indistinguishable from her footsteps. Even including Lu Songping, there were only three of them. But this person, not to mention footsteps, even the sound of his breathing was barely perceptible. What a remarkable level of martial arts prowess this must have been. The thought of it was truly astonishing.
The man was wearing a dark purple robe. He walked to the table as if no one was around, found an empty seat and sat down. He didn't say a word and didn't look at anyone present, as if he was the only one at this lively banquet with more than a hundred people.
