Chapter 230: Small Punishment, Big Warning

The noblemen who were originally joking and laughing were stunned by Lu Chengyuan's miserable condition. One of them subconsciously looked at the table. The moment he saw a stone on the table, he was immediately furious, "Who?! Who is blind..."

Before he finished his words, he heard a few more bangs, and the dishes on the table exploded one by one. In an instant, broken porcelain flew everywhere, frightening a group of young men so much that they ran away from the table with pale faces and screaming in shock.

The young man, who had always been into pleasure, had never seen such a fight before. He was afraid that if he ran too slowly, he would explode like the plate.

Even so, there were still one or two people whose necks and clothes were scratched by the broken porcelain. But they didn't care about much at the moment and ran out of the box screaming.

Maybe they were running too hurriedly and I don't know who tripped over whom. Several young men who were just talking about beauties fell to the ground in a heap. The diners in the lobby saw this and almost died of laughter.

Downstairs, Gu Qingquan had already put away his hidden arrows when he heard the first noise from upstairs.

After hearing the continuous sounds of porcelain plates breaking and the man screaming, I finally confirmed that the person who had just seen me was just a young man with dirty eyes.

Tsk, I thought it was an assassin lurking in the building in advance.

What a pity.

Putting away his sleeve, Gu Qingquan no longer paid attention to what was happening upstairs. He just turned around and continued to walk forward, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across a crack in the wall opposite the restaurant.

Is it there?

According to the track and direction of the wind just now, it should be there.

However, even though she had guessed the other person's location and sensed it carefully, she still could not sense any trace of that person.

Sure enough, this is what the leader of the Dark Guard Battalion should be capable of.

It's a pity that I haven't really seen him take action in so many times. If there is a chance, I would take the silver spear that the emperor gave me as a reward and practice with this Lord Wu.

Gu Qingquan thought with some regret, and put the little episode behind him. He took Xiangye and followed the flow of people to the high platform in the middle of the street.

This should be the place where Pingcheng holds large-scale events every year. It is run through by Chengnan Street and intersects with another main street. In the middle is an open space with a high platform.

At this time, there were several stages arranged around. In addition to the singing and dancing stage in the middle where dancers performed, there were toys such as pot-tossing and flower-catching on the left, and on the right were several arenas where ladies competed in talent and there were arenas for treasure-grabbing.

Gu Qingquan glanced around and felt dazzled. He turned around the treasure-hunting arena, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by the trophies displayed on the stage.

It was a completely black dagger with intricate carvings on the handle, and even the black blade had dark patterns on it.

The dagger was placed on the table, and the black blade glowed eeriely under the sunlight.

Gu Qingquan appears to be aloof and unconcerned with worldly matters, but he has a special liking for weapons.

Especially a weapon like this that looks very neat.

It was a rare opportunity to go out, and Gu Qingquan didn't want to miss it.

"As long as we go on stage to fight, the one who wins ten games first can get the prize?" Gu Qingquan and Xiang Ye confirmed the rules of this arena.

Xiang Ye had served Gu Qingquan since she was a child. She knew what Gu Qingquan was planning even from the slightest hint of her toes. When she heard this, her face changed instantly and her tone was very firm, "Girl, no!"

Gu Qingquan frowned and looked very threatening, "Why not?"

This is Pingcheng, what's wrong with her getting a dagger for herself?

Xiang Ye almost wanted to kneel down to her, "Girl, have you forgotten who you are? How can you show up and fight these warriors? If the emperor sees you when he comes later, he will be very angry."

Gu Qingquan wanted to say that she was not afraid of the emperor being angry, but she was still a little unsure whether Helian Yue would take away the weapons hidden in her palace after he was angry.

But she was unwilling to let go of the dagger.

Just as Gu Qingquan gritted her teeth and decided to compete first, she suddenly heard a familiar and emotionless male voice coming from behind her, "Miss Gu."

Gu Qingquan turned his head and saw a man in a black suit and a mask standing silently behind him. It was Wu Lie who had not appeared all this time.

Xiang Ye recognized that this was the secret guard arranged by the Emperor for his own queen, and was delighted.

Very good.

With the secret guards stopping Her Majesty, she would not go up and show her face. If she was recognized again, it would be terrible.

It would be best if we could just take our own queen away.

Gu Qingquan did not expect Wu Lie to show up on his own initiative, so he just asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Ye looked at the leader of the secret guards expectantly, hoping that he would ask the queen to go back. Then, the man said in a calm but serious tone,

"You want that dagger, I'll get it for you."

Xiangye: ???
