In the evening, the back garden of the city lord's mansion.
Under the starlight, on the grass, there is a round table.
The table is full of delicacies, and the table is filled with food and wine.
In order to thank Zhao Lizhen, Du Haiyang specially held a small thank you banquet to thank her for her help.
If it hadn't been for Zhao Lizhen, things probably wouldn't have been so easy today.
Zhao Lizhen originally didn't want to participate, but finally agreed.
As for Ye Xiong, he was also lucky enough to be invited because he stopped Elder Xingyue with a palm.
Of course, he was just accompanying me in the past.
There were not many people at the small banquet. Apart from Du Haiyang, Du Yufeng and his daughter, there were the scholar Qiao Zhi and Ye Xiong.
There are only five people.
"Miss Zhao, let me toast you and thank you for your help." Du Haiyang stood up and his eyes fell on Zhao Lizhen, shining brightly.
Ye Xiong had seen this kind of look many times, and Du Haiyang was probably already attracted to Zhao Lizhen.
Zhao Lizhen is strong, plump and beautiful. She is the type that makes men very tempted and want to push her down. It is normal for Du Haiyang to be attracted to her.
"City Lord, this is what I should do, you're welcome." Zhao Lizhen replied, raised their glasses together, and the two of them drank it down.
"Miss Zhao, Qiao Zhi also proposes a toast to you." Military Advisor Qiao Zhi also stood up and toasted Zhao Lizhen.
Zhao Lizhen did not refuse, but drank it all in one gulp, neither salty nor bland.
This was the first time Ye Xiong saw this side of Zhao Lizhen. Unexpectedly, she also had a side that was not indifferent.
In the past, Ye Xiong was almost always the protagonist at the wine table, but now, he has become a foil.
"Ye Xiong, I respect you." Fortunately, Du Yufeng gave him face and clinked glasses with him.
"Thank you, miss." Ye Xiong replied.
"Farewell, Miss, you are only staying here temporarily. How can our little conch star accommodate a giant Buddha like you?"
As soon as these words came out, Du Haiyang and Qiao Zhi couldn't help but look at Ye Xiong in surprise.
From their eyes, Ye Xiong could see that they obviously didn't know their identities yet.
"Yufeng, who is this?" Du Haiyang asked curiously.
"I'm just a little person. Miss, I'm proud of you. Come, let's have a drink together. If you have wine today, you'll get drunk today." Ye Xiong raised his glass.
"Brother Ye, you're right. If you have wine today, you will get drunk now. It is very fate that we can be together today. Come on, Miss Zhao, let's come together."
A group of five people drank it all in one go.
After a few glasses of wine, everyone started talking more.
However, Du Haiyang did most of the talking. He seemed to be deliberately showing off in front of Zhao Lizhen, and kept talking a lot.
Little did he know that the more he gained, the more Ye Xiong would look down on him as the city lord.
Regardless of how strong he is, the attitude he keeps showing off in order to pursue women is obviously not the state of mind of a mature monk.
"Father, you drank a little too much." Du Yufeng kept holding back and finally couldn't help but say it.
"It's rare to be happy, so why not have more." Du Haiyang finished, his eyes fell on Zhao Lizhen, and said: "Miss Zhao, let me tell you the truth. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you are a unique person.
,very special……"
Du Yufeng stood up in excitement, walked over and held Du Haiyang's arm, saying: "Father, you are drunk, go back to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"I'm not drunk, I just drank a little..."
Du Yufeng glared at him fiercely.
Being stared at by his daughter, Du Haiyang didn't dare to say anything and followed her obediently.
This scene made neither Ye Xiong nor Zhao Lizhen expect that the dignified city lord would be so afraid of his daughter.
"You two, it's getting late, I'm going back first." Qiao Zhi smiled, stood up and left.
Suddenly, only Ye Xiong and Zhao Lizhen were left on the wine table.
The two of them stared at each other, as if they didn't expect that the two enemies would encounter such a scene.
"Miss Zhao, I can see that the city lord likes you very much. Consider staying and becoming the city lord's wife." Ye Xiong said with a smile.
"It's funny, isn't it?" Zhao Lizhen rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm serious. You don't have to be a killer all your life. It's so dangerous. Why don't you find a good man to marry? Your master promised Gu Feng not to touch Conch City. If you stay here, she won't cause trouble for you.
Not sure..." Ye Xiong smiled.
"Who did my master promise to Gu Feng?"
"In the whole world, besides your master, who else has the ability to make a god-general abdicate."
Zhao Lizhen's silence was tantamount to acquiescence.
Ye Xiong poured himself a glass of wine, poured another glass of wine for her, and said, "It's not like enemies don't get together. Come on, let's have a drink."
"Who will drink with you?" Zhao Lizhen snorted coldly.
"After tonight, it is unknown whether we can meet again in the future." Ye Xiong put down his wine glass and sighed: "Your poison almost killed me yesterday. I really don't dare to bear your next poison.
But a true man keeps his word, since I promised to poison you two more times, it cannot be ignored."
"The next time I poison you, even if you are a Daluo Immortal, I won't be able to save you."
"Then we should put aside our hatred tonight and have a good discussion to see which one is more powerful, your poison, or my ability to detoxify."
After Ye Xiong finished, he raised his wine glass again and faced her.
This time, Zhao Lizhen toasted to welcome her.
The other person is almost dead anyway, so why not have a drink with him.
"Miss Zhao, come again."
Next, you have a drink and I have a drink, and they both drink very happily.
Zhao Lizhen was still a little worried at first, but gradually she let go.
She never thought that one day she would drink so happily with an assassination target.
"Miss Zhao, how many people have you killed in your life?" Ye Xiong asked.
Zhao Lizhen shook her head: "I haven't counted, I can't count."
"Then which was your most dangerous assassination?" Ye Xiong continued to ask.
Zhao Lizhen lifted her right arm and saw a huge scar on the white and tender arm near the shoulder. It looked shocking. You can imagine how serious the injury was.
"The most dangerous time was when I blocked the opponent's knife with my arm, and then stabbed the opponent's heart with my sword."
"Ever since that time, I told myself that if I want to live, I have to do whatever it takes to kill the other person at all costs."
"If I can't kill the other party, then I will let the other party kill him."
"I can use elixir to heal the scar on my arm, but I don't because it will always remind me that I am in danger all the time. Either the other person dies or I die," Zhao Lizhen said.
"Isa, is she worthy of you working so hard for her?" Ye Xiong couldn't help but ask.
"She is like a second parent to me. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today, and my life would have been long gone."
Ye Xiong originally hoped to one day instigate rebellion against her, but now it seems that this is too difficult.
Her awe for Isa was ingrained in her bones.
"It's getting late, Miss Zhao, good night!" Ye Xiong stood up, turned and left.
The departure was so sudden, Zhao Lizhen didn't even react.
