In the afternoon, Helian Cheng sent an invitation to Li Duo to attend a dinner hosted by the government in the evening.

This dinner is unusual, because it is jointly organized by the eight major families in Jingzhou, and all the people who attended were big names with great status!

Military and political dignitaries, legendary powerhouses, and even some VIPs from ancient times will attend, in fact, the protagonists this time are not them, but Li Duo and several inheritors with special identities!

The existence of the inheritor is no longer a secret, although the former gods have passed away, but these chosen people still uphold their will and walk in the world, especially Li Duo and Cangsheng Mage, the gods behind them are still alive, and the abilities of these gods make the rulers of the human race terrified, they need to consider not only the inheritors themselves, but also the will of the gods behind them.

Among them, Li Duo is particularly special, because his identity is not only the inheritor, but also one of the leaders of the four major bases of the Federation!

Seeing that Liu Ruyan's face was not natural, Li Duo glanced at her: "What's wrong?" ”

"I really don't want to attend this banquet if it's possible!"

Liu Ruyan's expression was not very natural, she sighed and said, "When the time comes...... The people of the family will definitely let me go back! ”

Liu Ruyan has always had very complicated emotions about her family, in all fairness, she doesn't like the way the family does things, but blood is thicker than water, and she doesn't want to watch her family being swallowed up by other families, this complex feeling has also caused the reason for her current complex emotions.

"Don't worry, I won't let them get their way!"

Li Duo patted her shoulder gently, but before Liu Ruyan could be moved for a second, his next sentence made Liu Ruyan's face collapse instantly: "Send you away, who will open the treasure box for me?" ”

The banquet was held in the Jingzhou Hotel, which was also the place where the state banquet was held before the end of the world, at this time Li Duo walked into the door of the hotel with Liu Ruyan, and in an instant, he felt that there were hundreds of eyes reflected over!

"General Lee, welcome!"

An old man in a white naval commander's uniform walked over slowly with a wine glass, he raised his glass to Li Duo, and said politely and gracefully: "Speaking of me, you may not know me, but my granddaughter has a relationship with you!" ”

"The water family?"

Li Duo's heart moved, and at this time, an old man in a tunic on the other side also walked over with a smile, and behind him, there was a familiar figure!

"Li Duo, long time no see!"

Shui Yue was dressed in a plain white long skirt and dress, and walked over with a smile, she hadn't seen her for a long time, her complexion looked better, but seeing her like this, Li Duo felt a thick strangeness in her heart.

"Hehe, you young people have a common language, we old guys, we don't mix much!"

Shui Tianhua and Shui Tianxia, the two old guys, obviously premeditated, originally when Li Duo's power was not strong, they chose to take their granddaughter back to Jingzhou, but now Li Duo has become a hero, even if they can't help but want to tie it up!

With a smile of "men understand" on their faces, the two of them retreated, and in this area, only Shui Yue and Li Duo remained.

Shui Yue poured a glass of red wine and poured another glass for Li Duo, she handed it to Li Duo, and asked with a smile, "Do you want a glass?" ”

Li Duo nodded, and as a result, he didn't drink, just put it on the table.

"You've changed."

Li Duo said slowly.

"Time is changing, and life is changing!"

Shui Yue took a sip of wine, and she said lightly.

"In my memory, you are a strong woman wearing a miserable doctor's uniform, acting decisively, and smiling, not the current beauty who wears gorgeous clothes and talks elegantly......"

Li Duo looked straight into her eyes: "What is it that makes you change from a strong woman to what you are now." ”

Mizuki was silent.

After a long time, she slowly spoke: "It's reality." ”

"People will grow up, in the past, I was ignorant of the world, and I thought that as long as I worked hard, everything could be earned, so I gave up the perfect life arranged by my family and went to the south to seek development."

"My life is smooth, even if I am in a different place, when I lack food and clothing, I will always meet kind neighbors; When I need comfort, I have gentle girlfriends come into my life...... Even if I am young, I can sit as the director of a provincial tertiary hospital......"

"I always thought that this was the result of my efforts, but I was wrong, everything I did was monitored by the people of my family, my fate was artificially manipulated, but I didn't know anything, and I was even arrogant and complacent......"

"After the end of the world, I still have the protection of the family secret guard, and under your heavy protection, I arrived in Qianzhou City, but you may not know what happened to me after leaving Qianzhou City."

"The family arranged for me to take a warship along the coast to Jingzhou, but in the middle, we encountered a powerful infected monster, the fleet was destroyed, and the only few guards desperately took me to escape, at that time, we were still a thousand kilometers away from Jingzhou!"

"Those days were unforgettable black years in my life, I encountered too many things, saw too much ugliness in the world, and watched those guards fall in front of my eyes one by one!"

"Xiaoying, that's my personal bodyguard, and I are like sisters, I just watched her like this, in front of me, by dozens of big men to death, I knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and even did not hesitate to sacrifice my hue, seduced the stupid son of the boss in the gathering place, and was able to escape...... That was my first time, the stupid man with saliva at the corners of his mouth, like a fat pig, shook his body on me, his bad breath made me want to gag, but I could only smile all over my face, like a lowly prostitute, to cater to his movements! ”

Shui Yue's face was indifferent, as if what she was talking about was not herself, but some strange thing, but Li Duo could imagine what kind of harm it would be to a woman on such a day!

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank them, they taught me how to survive in this world, my family loves me, and my people fear me, but this dark world, but no, when I was rescued by the rescue team sent by my family, I used a scalpel to cut the fool's family of 13 into pieces...... Hehe, that feeling is really comfortable, I understand for the first time that killing people is more interesting than saving people! ”

"You're crazy......"

Li Duo shook his head, he had sympathy for what happened to Shui Yue, but even more, he was full of cold!

"Whatever you want...... However, the meaning of the family is to let me get close to you, and I think that you can consider this proposal, and it will be more beneficial for you and me to join forces between the two of us. ”

On this issue, Shui Yue didn't seem very enthusiastic, originally she was a bachelor, and the experience of that time made her extremely disgusted with men, at this time Li Duo only sneered: "Excuse me, I'm afraid that in the middle of the night, I will be cut into pieces by you." ”

"That's a pity!"

Shui Yue shrugged her shoulders, and then walked away slowly with graceful steps.

Li Duo turned his head, wanting to find a trace of Liu Ruyan, but immediately, his brows furrowed tightly!

"I'm not going back!"

Liu Ruyan let out an earth-shattering shout, which instantly made the entire area completely silent, and everyone's eyes were looking in her direction, and there, two middle-aged men in military uniforms were besieging her.

"This is the old man's order, you have no right to refuse!"

Among them, the highest-ranking military officer is an army lieutenant general, he is about 50 years old, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Liu Sheng, obviously a high-ranking member of the Liu family.

"It's rare that Mr. Song is a little interested in you, and it's rare that you want to abandon the interests of the family!"

It was a scolding from another middle-aged man, who looked a few years younger than Yanagi, and a handsome face covered with frost.

"I, Liu Ruyan, want to marry, I am a big hero who stands up to the sky, rather than going against my heart and pleasing that kind of villain, it is better to let me die!"

Liu Ruyan looked very stubborn, she didn't move, and more than a dozen black-clothed guards of the Liu family stepped forward and dragged hard, but they couldn't shake it at all!

"Then you will die!"

Seeing that this lowly man and woman were so disobedient, Liu Ruyan's two uncles glanced at each other, and a blood-colored mist appeared on the palms of the two of them, and the slaps were raised high, and they slapped at Liu Ruyan's pink cheeks!

"Bang Bang!"

Both of them are evolutionary beings, and their level is not low, at this time, under this merciless slap, Liu Ruyan's cheeks instantly swelled, and wisps of red blood kept flowing out of the corners of her mouth!

Liu Ruyan didn't move, she didn't fight back, she couldn't even dodge, her family education from childhood to adulthood has always instilled the idea of obedience in her, it's hard to imagine that this human light who dares to fight hand-to-hand with the emperor level will be beaten into this embarrassment by two middle-aged men!

"Liu Ruyan, I'll give you one last chance, you know, what kind of choice the family will make in the face of your behavior!"

Liu Ruyan's uncle spoke, his voice was cold, and his words made Liu Ruyan's whole body tremble slightly!

Of course, she knew that two years ago, one of her cousins, who refused the political marriage arranged by the family, eloped with her lover, and was finally arrested, the tragic ending.
