The county magistrate's office needed these things to prepare for the banquet in three days.
The mansion has been extremely busy these past few days, with servants constantly coming and going in the corridors, appearing to be extremely busy.
Tan Zhi was so busy that she almost went berserk.
Finally the day of the banquet arrived.
The front hall and courtyard of the mansion were filled with round tables, and maids and servants took turns carrying dishes in in an orderly manner.
County Magistrate Li, wearing brand new clothes, stood at the door with his two sons and one daughter to welcome the guests to the banquet.
Today should be a happy day, but anxiety flashed in his eyes from time to time on his joyful face.
Li Yue'er, who was standing by, rarely saw so many people. She hid beside her two brothers and looked at the guests coming and going curiously.
Li Da seemed to be free from the control of the love Gu. Except for his pale face, his condition was much better than before.
Li Erze chatted cheerfully with County Magistrate Li towards the guests who came forward.
Soon, four or five tables in the welcoming courtyard were filled with people.
As an important guest, Tan Manxing sat at the main table, surrounded by County Magistrate Li, Li Yue'er and some important figures in Xiangzhen.
She secretly held the wine glass and observed every move of the people around her.
"Thank you all for coming to the banquet held for my daughter today."
"My daughter is safe now, all thanks to the doctor."
He first toasted everyone around him, then turned around and toasted Tan Manxing who was standing beside him.
Holding the cup, he greeted everyone around him, introduced Li Yue'er's identity, and then asked everyone to start eating.
After he finished his polite exchanges, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, but when he lowered his head, his emotions had been sorted out.
Tan Manxing glanced around before raising his glass to drink.
Just in case, Tan Zhi and Zhou Yixuan hid in the dark, while Tong Leren stood in the distance next to the little maids.
After confirming that everyone was there, she sniffed the wine in the glass and took a sip.
Led by County Magistrate Li, everyone drank a cup and began to chat and eat lively.
The assassination that Tan Manxing imagined did not happen, and she did not find anything wrong with the wine and food.
In the end, she had no choice but to remain silent.
Time passed unknowingly. She looked at County Magistrate Li, whose expression was not as natural as usual, and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Master Li, is there something on your mind? You look worried."
When County Magistrate Li heard this, he came back to his senses. He didn't expect to be discovered by Tan Manxing. He smiled awkwardly and shook his head to deny it.
"Haha, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Doctor Man. I might not have slept well."
Tan Manxing looked at County Magistrate Li, who was obviously not the one, and nodded without exposing the truth.
Soon the banquet was halfway through, and just when she thought she had guessed wrong, a group of men in black suddenly fell from the eaves around her.
The man in black at the head was wearing a red mask.
"There's an assassin! Run!"
Tong Leren was standing in a position where he could see it first. He saw that the people drinking in the yard didn't notice him, so he shouted loudly.
When the assassins saw they were discovered, they all flew down. The guests at the table saw this and screamed in panic and ran towards the door.
Fortunately, the assassin's target was not them, and he ignored their departure.
All the men in black rushed towards the table where Tan Manxing and his friends were, and another wave rushed towards Tong Le's group.
"Hey, I just howled, why are you chasing me?"
Tong Leren looked at the man in black who was eyeing him hungrily, and immediately used his escape skills to start running away.
Tan Manxing stood up and calmly pulled out a decorative whip from his waist.
"Hide well."
She glanced at the Li brothers and sisters who had no martial arts skills, turned her wrist and went forward to meet them.
"Doctor Man, be careful!"
Li Yueer spoke worriedly.
"Senior Sister!"
Tan Zhi, who was hiding in the dark, saw so many bad guys besieging Tan Manxing. He became anxious and didn't care about being exposed. He quickly flew over to help.
Seeing this, Zhou Yixuan hurriedly took out his sword and joined in.
"Red-faced man, give me your life!"
He stared at the red-faced man angrily and actually took the initiative to fight with him.
"Haha, you really are a dog-skin plaster."
The red-faced man looked at Zhou Yixuan as if he were an old acquaintance, but his movements were not gentle at all, but rather fierce and fast, and soon wounds appeared on his body.
With the help of Tan Manxing and others holding back the guests, most of them fled. In a blink of an eye, only they and County Magistrate Li's family were left in the courtyard.
Fortunately, County Magistrate Li's family had the advantage in terms of number of guards, and with Tan Manxing's intervention, they had the upper hand.
After struggling for a while, the red-faced man seemed to realize that this was not a solution, and suddenly threw out a burst of powder from his body.
"Everyone be careful!"
Tong Leren covered his nose and hurriedly retreated.
In an instant, the courtyard was filled with clouds of smoke, which made the atmosphere even more eerie.
Tan Manxing had a bad feeling about the situation and instinctively looked at Li Yue'er who was protecting him. Just as he was about to mobilize his true energy to get closer, his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Because of this hesitation, when the white smoke dissipated, the group of originally ferocious men in black had all retreated to the side.
The red-faced man stood in front of them, holding Li Yueer's neck.
She looked around carefully and found signs of poisoning of varying degrees on the people around her.
County Magistrate Li looked at Li Yue'er, who was in the protection center just a few seconds ago, and was inexplicably captured. His pupils dilated in panic.
"Yuer! Let her go!"
He made a move to rush forward, but was stopped by his two sons beside him.
"Dad, calm down."
He looked at the cold eyes under the red mask, clenched his fists and tried hard to calm himself down, stared at the red-faced man fiercely and spoke with gritted teeth.
"You said you wouldn't do anything to my relatives if I hosted a party!"
"Yeah, I didn't kill her, did I?"
The red-faced man spoke in a toneless and sinister voice.
Sure enough, there was a conspiracy behind this banquet.
When Tan Manxing heard this, he understood. He looked at the red-faced man and moved his hand slightly.
This little bit of poison will evaporate from the body in no time and there is nothing to be afraid of.
But before she could release the insect, that gloomy gaze fell on her.
"Of course, it's best for everyone present not to move. Otherwise, if you accidentally kill her, I won't be able to help you."
After he said that, he pinched Li Yueer's neck, and she suddenly struggled because of difficulty breathing.
His trick was very effective. All those who wanted to launch a sneak attack put down their weapons when they saw Li Yueer's painful struggle.
"Don't be impulsive."
Tan Manxing spoke to signal Tan Zhi and the others.
County Magistrate Li begged for mercy in panic.
"We won't move. Let Yue'er go. If you want to catch someone, catch me. If you want to catch someone, catch me..."
He was in tears and almost couldn't stand.
The two sons beside him also looked very guilty because their sister was in danger.
The red-faced man looked around and was very satisfied with Songli.
"Master Li, I won't do anything to her, but if you don't answer well, then I can't guarantee it."
The red-faced man tilted his head and looked at County Magistrate Li, speaking word by word.
County Magistrate Li looked at Li Yue'er's eyes asking for help and agreed without any hesitation.
"I'm telling you, don't hurt my daughter!"
