Chapter 40: A farce
As Mrs. He also entered the banquet, the banquet officially began.
It was Second Master He who stood up to preside over the overall situation, looking at the smile on his face, Tao Yao really admired him, and he didn't know that he thought it was his long-lost daughter who he had found himself.
I only heard him say very decently: "Guests, welcome everyone to our banquet in He Mansion today, and the banquet in He Mansion today is to celebrate the recovery of my eldest brother's daughter He Sujiu. Thank you for coming, please bear with me. ”
With that, he picked up his glass and toasted to the guests, and the etiquette was all in place.
Oh, the eldest lady who has recovered from a long illness? Tao Yao couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she heard this. This He family is really leaky, which not only preserves the dignity of his family, but also allows He Su to appear in front of the public for a legitimate reason. If she didn't know the inside story, she would really believe in their evil.
As soon as the second master He finished speaking, Hua Susu, who was dressed in red, was helped out by two maidservants, and the bright red clothes lined her skin with snow, only to see that her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and when she was looking forward to it, she had an elegant and elegant temperament.
As soon as she appeared, the guests present were boiling, as the saying goes, my fair lady, gentleman is good. This is really beautiful.
Tao Yao looked at the beauty in front of her meaningfully, and then looked at Lin Rui, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, I'm afraid that this Lin Rui's women's clothes are not so enchanting, which really makes Tao Yao as a woman taste it.
Lin Rui also noticed her gaze, lowered his head and asked, "What do you see?" ”
Tao Yao glanced at Hua Susu, and said leisurely: "Look at the beauty." ”
"Oh?" Lin Rui followed her gaze and looked at Hua Susu, raised his eyebrows and said, "You look better." ”
Tao Yao was silent, there is definitely something wrong with Lin Rui's aesthetics.
After Hua Susu entered the table, this banquet was obviously even more lively. The people in the hall were talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and there were also singing and dancing performances on the central stage, which was really jubilant.
Facing a table of people who are not very familiar with each other, Tao Yao rarely loses her appetite, in fact, she is not a person who is afraid of life, but looking at these individuals today, she really has no appetite. She doesn't like to join in the fun, the more people there are, the more things she is destined to do. She looked at Lin Rui with a calm look and a glass of wine, she really couldn't guess him.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching flute sound rose softly, and several masked white-clothed dancers on the stage danced with long sleeves, and the delicate petals in the sky were gently flying, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.
The fragrance of flowers accompanied by the sound of the flute was particularly permeable, and I saw that the guests at the banquet were all shaky. The guests who were clapping in the audience one second suddenly collapsed the next. Suddenly, a masked woman in white with a flute in her hand flew down from the roof.
Tao Yao's consciousness gradually became blurred with the spread of the fragrance of flowers, and Lin Rui beside her fed her a heart-clearing pill without saying a word, touched her head, and whispered in her ear: "Stay obediently." ”
Tao Yao obediently cooperated and lay on the table, in fact, she knew from the bottom of her heart that the fox plan was about to start.
This hall is full of people, and now there are only a few people with good concentration who are still awake. And these few people are Lin Rui, Chu Ge, He Bi, Second Master He, and the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper immediately escorted the unconscious Mrs. He to the side, and Lin Rui and Chu Ge also pretended to help deal with it.
The white silk in the hands of the dancers on the stage soon turned into a bright sword, and swung mercilessly at several masters on the main seat. At the same time, the He Mansion guards hidden behind flew out and fought with them.
Tao Yao, who pretended to be unconscious, clearly saw that a group of white-gauze and masked dancers were persecuted, and the guards of the He family were obviously at a disadvantage.
The second master He continued to recruit, and his voice was very majestic: "Who is here, who dares to go against He Fu!" ”
The masked woman at the head said contemptuously, "I have taken the lives of your dogs." ”
He Bi was very angry: "Then it depends on whether you have this ability." ”
As soon as he whistled softly, another group of black-clothed guards appeared, and they fought with the group of white-clothed dancers.
The woman in white blew the flute again, and the sound of the flute was so panicked that it was really disturbing. If Tao Yao hadn't eaten the Qingxin Pill, he would definitely have been confused.
He Bi picked up the sword in his hand and fought directly with the woman in white. He Bi is tricks are pressing, and the woman in white is unhurried to resolve her tricks. The two of you go back and forth, and the two sides are equal in strength and do not give in to each other.
However, it wasn't long before another group of men in iron masks joined the scuffle, and the scene became chaotic.
The group of assassins wearing iron masks had strange martial arts, and they were clearly not ordinary killers. In this chaotic scene, it seems that they are not intent on killing, but on what prey.
I saw two people in iron masks grab He Su, who had fainted at the table, and flew out, and soon someone gave a signal, and the group of masked people who appeared behind all withdrew.
The masked woman in white immediately gave an order, and the dancers took advantage of the gap to injure Second Master He, and then retreated. This farce ended like this.
Tao Yao, as a witness to this farce, was actually confused. The banquet was messed up, Hua Susu was robbed, and Second Master He was injured. But she still couldn't figure out what the two groups of people before and after really wanted to do?
It is said that the Jingwei sent by He Bi couldn't catch up with those two groups of assassins, and the old lady He woke up and was furious, and ordered to go all out to find He Su!
That night, Tao Yao was in a daze on the side, and Lin Rui was calmly drinking tea. Tao Yao thought about this ridiculous farce, and she really couldn't figure it out.
Lin Rui saw her thoughtful look, and hugged her into his arms: "If you want to know anything, you can ask me." ”
"Both batches of personnel were arranged by senior brothers?" Although the two groups of Assassins seem to have different purposes on the surface, they are inexplicably similar.
Lin Rui's smooth chin rubbed Tao Yao's forehead, nodded and smiled: "Hmm." ”
"The skills of the people who robbed Hua Susu are very strange."
"Well, that's a heretical person, and they will only find out about Second Master He's head."
Tao Yao was choked for a moment, this Lin Rui had already found out that it was the second master He who colluded with the pagan religion, and when they found out that the person who robbed Hua Susu was a pagan religion, it was estimated that there would be internal strife within the He Mansion, and this misfortune was really a fox's style.
Lin Rui gently stroked Tao Yao's hair, as if he was touching a kitten, and said lightly: "Let's go back to the mountain." ”
"What about Yunshan Order?" In fact, isn't their trip just for Yunshan Ling, he is calm all the way, how can he mention it.
"No problem." All of this seems to be in his strategy, what can trip Lin Rui, Tao Yao really can't think of it.
Therefore, this Lin Rui really can't be an enemy with him.
