Chapter 465 Just a joke
After a somewhat uncomfortable silence, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the tense lobby.
Looking up, I saw Jie Shi's thick palm resting on the table. He said with a smile, "Young Master Huang is fearless in the face of danger. He is truly a rare talent."
As he spoke, he moved closer and said, "I'm just joking with Mr. Huang. I hope you don't mind."
Everyone was stunned.
He had already waved his hand at the warriors and said, "Alright, alright, enough joking around. All of you, retreat."
“…”
The warriors were about to attack, but when they heard him say that, they hesitated. Jie Shi glanced at the middle-aged man, who understood and said hurriedly, "Right, right, right, the master just asked you to come over and show off, it was just a joke. Okay, you guys go down."
Those people could only put away their swords and retreat.
Immediately, the drums and music on both sides started playing again, and the servants came up to serve wine and food, as if nothing had happened.
Putting aside other things, it is really not easy to be so shameless.
He was threatening them just now, but the next moment, he could continue chatting and laughing with others with a normal expression. Not everyone can do that.
Zhu Feng placed his hands on the edge of the table and said with a smile, "So, it was just a joke."
“…”
"I thought I had just entered a den of thieves."
"Hahahaha, how could that be?" Jie Shi said with a smile, "Young Master Huang is such an outstanding person, and he has connections with the people in Prince Yan's Palace. Who would dare to harm Young Master Huang?"
As he spoke, he refilled the wine and raised his glass: "I offer a toast to Mr. Huang to calm his nerves."
Zhu Feng smiled calmly, but said, "I won't drink this glass of wine."
Jie Shi frowned: "Why?"
Zhu Feng looked outside and said, "Because it's getting late, I originally planned to go to Boss Jie's banquet and then set off for Peking."
“…”
"In order to avoid drinking and causing trouble, I won't drink this glass of wine."
Jie Shi put down his wine glass.
A gleam of brilliance appeared in those narrowed eyes as he spoke, "Then I wonder how Master Huang plans to deal with this matter after arriving in Peking and visiting Prince Yan's residence?"
Nan Yan and the others also stared at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng reached out and touched the rim of the wine glass on the table. He said in a playful tone, "Since Boss Jie wants his men to be buried in peace, it would seem unkind of me to try to stop him."
“…”
"How about this? I'll ride as fast as I can to Peking tonight."
“…”
"If we can stop this before the people from Prince Yan's Mansion examine the body, I will do my best to retrieve the body and hand it over to Boss Jie."
“…”
"What do you think?"
Jie Shi looked at Zhu Feng warily. After a long silence, he said, "When and where does Mr. Huang plan to return the body to me?"
Zhu Feng said, "The day after tomorrow evening, behind Prince Yan's Mansion, by the moat, I will return the body to you."
"good!"
Jie Shi slammed his hand on the table and said, "I'll do as Young Master Huang says."
Zhu Feng stood up, bowed to him, and prepared to leave with Nan Yan and the others.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, Jie Shi's smiling voice sounded behind him again - "Young Master Huang."
Zhu Feng stopped and looked back at him.
Jie Shi smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, please keep your promise."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly: "Of course."
After saying that, he walked out.
The lobby was as warm as spring, and the road outside was also very warm because it was filled with stoves. However, as soon as Nan Yan walked out the door, she shivered.
She raised her head and whispered, "Prince..."
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "Let's go!"
