Chapter 169.
The scene was originally lively and bustling, with groups of three or two, each talking about their own things, and each small group, although seemingly divided into different groups, was well organized.
However, after this young man spoke these words, the small groups on the scene all cast their eyes over.
This young man shaking a folding fan also spoke without any concealment, and in the second floor of this restaurant, the crowd could also hear it clearly.
At this moment, Lu Zhou Ling was still thinking about how to start the banquet later on, so that the atmosphere would be warmed up.
After all, as the host of this banquet, he was not only hosting it, but he also needed to let the new faces of the various organizations get to know each other and get along better.
This was the only way to get things done in the entire Maplewood State.
Otherwise, if any of the organizations didn’t run smoothly, the whole body would be affected.
Therefore, in the view of Lu Zhou Ling, this banquet is very important, but he did not really think that this young man would suddenly say this sentence.
Lu Zhouling came back from his contemplation and looked at the young man shaking his folding fan with a complicated gaze.
To be honest, Lu Zhouling had a lot of opinions about this young man, but at some point, he still couldn’t say it out loud.
The reason for this was that the faction that this young man was currently in was from the Second Prince’s side.
Who was the Second Prince?
He had been studying with the Prime Minister since he was young, and had also held an official position in the court as well.
Although it is an idle position, right, but everyone knows that it is like inside a chamber of commerce, the son of the owner of the chamber of commerce, in a position to do, on the surface is casually arranged, but in fact, it is also to give him a layer of gold plating.
Currently due to Emperor Xingwu’s preparation to establish a crown prince, the three princes were fighting both openly and secretly.
So for the second prince’s faction, Lu Zhou Ling knew very well.
Currently there were quite a few young scholars, or officials who were working for the government, who had already turned against the second prince.
Of course, Lu Zhouling was currently not standing on any of the factions.
Speaking as a state magistrate, he felt that he was already good enough to manage this acre of land well.
Although the Prime Minister was the head of the hundred officials, he could not use his power to oppress people and oblige them to stand on the Second Prince’s faction.
Moreover, the Prime Minister had also made it clear that he would not be involved in this matter.
As for why there were some readers and officials that sided with the Second Prince, it was actually quite normal.
Even if a dragon had nine sons, they were all different.
Some people just had a lot of petty thoughts.
In case the second prince was really made the crown prince at that time, at that time, these people who supported the second prince would also soar, and pheasants would become phoenixes.
So for now, everything is also going well on the second prince’s side.
This young man’s name was Owen, and his family lineage was also immeasurable, being a scholarly family from the capital.
Inside the family, there were also quite a few people on top of the officialdom.
Some of them were even in the capital and also held many important positions.
The young man was the third son of the Ou family, and was originally an official in a county, but after this great purge, he was promoted to Maplewood State, and came to Maplewood State to fill a vacancy, which was considered a promotion.
Hearing Owen say this, the Lu state magistrate knew it very well in his heart, so he replied to him, saying, “Lord Zhou is very busy on weekdays, and there are a lot of things he is in charge of, so it’s normal for him to come a little late.”
The matter of Zhou An supporting the Third Prince nowadays was actually something that quite a few people already knew about.
Since the Emperor had secretly made this deal with Zhou An, he had naturally spoken about Zhou An’s situation.
Although it did not pass through the Emperor’s mouth, there were many means for the Emperor to get a message out.
So in Luzhouling’s opinion, Owen’s purpose should be to want to compare himself with Zhou An at this banquet, which is also considered to be a way for the two factions to compare themselves.
However, Lu Zhouling knew very well in his heart that after Zhou An came to this Maplewood State, he basically stayed out of the door, except for the incident that happened last time, he was very low-key at other times.
It can be said that if no one recognizes Zhou An, even do not know Zhou An came to this maple forest state, became a hand of the craftsman supervision.
Such a low-profile person, Luzhou Ling actually didn’t know too much about Zhou An, after all, he hadn’t met him several times.
It was the first time that he reminded Zhou An.
But who didn’t have a bit of intelligence when it came to being an official in the Great Chu Kingdom?
Regarding some of Zhou An’s experiences, even if he only knew a little bit about them, Lu Zhou Ling understood what kind of character Zhou An really was.
When they first met, Zhou An’s faint aura of death was not something that could be compared to the flowers in the greenhouse.
This young man had risen from the midst of killing.
To be able to make it all the way from Anding County to Maplewood State, he didn’t know how much turmoil he had gone through on the dark side.
If Owen wanted to make things happen at this banquet, Lu Zhouling felt that this banquet might be a bit overwhelming.
“Lord Ou, I think it’s better for you to stay out of Lord Zhou’s business.” Lu Zhouling reminded.
After all, he was the host of this banquet, and he did not think that Zhou An would sell him face.
If someone really picked a fight, Zhou An would definitely return the favor.
So he could only advise from Owen’s side.
However, at this time, the Luzhou Order had committed a small taboo.
For Owen, he himself was on the Second Prince’s side, while Zhou An was on the Third Prince’s side, so the two were from different factions.
When Owen saw that the smithing supervisor had advised himself in turn, his brows wrinkled slightly, the folding fan in his hand snapped shut, and he said, “Lord Lu, I also just want to meet Lord Zhou, and in addition, it is indeed impolite of Lord Zhou not to have come ahead of time, so there shouldn’t be any problems with what I’ve said.”
State Magistrate Lu smiled bitterly as he said, “As long as you’re not late, Lord Zhou, although he’s usually very low key, he’s not an unruly person at heart.”
“I hope so.” Owen opened his folding fan again and gently fanned the wind, but in his mind, he was thinking of other things.
One of the reasons he came over this time, to attend this banquet, was to sell Lu Zhou Ling a face, after all, Lu Zhou Ling was also a hand in this side of the officialdom, no matter how he put it.
Secondly, he wanted to meet this Zhou An.
Now, in a situation where the Third Prince was clearly weak, Zhou An announced in a high profile that he was joining the Third Prince’s camp, a situation which, in Owen’s opinion, was undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, and was even unwise.
But Zhou An did do so.
So Owen wanted to come and see what this rumored Zhou An really was.
It was true that Owen was from the Second Prince’s faction, but he wasn’t brainless, and the Second Prince didn’t need brainless people, so before he came, he had already conducted a detailed investigation into Zhou An.
To be honest, when he learned of Zhou An’s rise along the way, his entire being was slightly shocked.
From being a tiny constable in Anding County, after a series of killings, and subsequently cracking all sorts of huge conspiracies, and then in the middle of the Tingyun House’s Casting Competition, he once again saved the entire Tingyun House, and then became a role model for the healers of the Great Chu Kingdom.
Now that book was still regarded as a treasure by the healers.
Now, it has become a hand of the Crafting Supervisor of the Maple Forest State again, and not long ago, it even did a Moon River bizarre and vertical eight stunts.
These battles are depicted very simply, and I don’t know why, just talking about Zhou An’s merits, for a lot of details, it is basically a skimming.
But that alone was enough to shock Owen.
It was like when you read a novel, and the catalog on the novel had condensed all the wonderful points of the entire novel.
Owen felt that Zhou An shouldn’t be a brainless person, and he didn’t know why he would be on the weaker side like the Third Prince.
So he had come over this time, firstly to see what kind of person Zhou An really was, and secondly to make a detailed record of what had happened this time, before finally handing it over to the Second Prince.
After all, not long ago, the Second Prince had sent a letter by pigeon, stating that he was also interested in Zhou An.
Owen wanted to help the Second Prince.
As for what he said just now, it was actually a way to see the attitude of the Luzhou Order.
Now that the attitude was also visible, this Luzhou Ling seemed to be a bit jealous of Zhou An.
Thinking about this, the curiosity in Owen’s heart grew.
He secretly looked forward to Zhou An’s arrival, wanting to see what kind of identity Zhou An actually had.
Time gradually passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was getting closer and closer to the start of the banquet.
At this time, there were quite a few officials who had already started to look towards the entrance.
After experiencing Owen’s words just now, in the hearts of these officials, they were all expecting a scene to appear.
That would be Zhou An coming out and then having a conflict with Owen, both of them in this banquet, sparks flying.
This would undoubtedly be fun, and would also show some hints of what was to come.
The people present had all been in the official world for a long time, so naturally, they knew it in their hearts.
However, it was already almost time for the banquet to begin, and there was still no sign of Zhou An.
Some people just couldn’t help but ponder.
“Is it possible that Zhou An isn’t coming? Impossible?”
This thought echoed in many people’s minds.
They felt that it was impossible for Zhou An to not be allowed to come at the right time, after all, the Luzhou Magistrate had personally invited him, so he had to give face anyways.
Another half a pillar of incense passed, and Lu Zhou Ling was waiting.
He did not feel that he had lost face.
Face is not something given by others, it is something that you add to yourself.
He understood Zhou An’s temperament, even if he came a little late, it was actually nothing.
Why be so petty?
As for the words that Owen had just said in public, Lu Zhouling didn’t take it seriously either.
All of them had gotten to this position in the Great Chu Kingdom, who didn’t have some bosom?
Just at this time, a footstep sounded at the door.
To be precise, there were two.
This was because the other footstep was very close to the previous one, as if it was intentionally mimicking the former’s walk.
At the stairway on the second floor, Zhou An came.
Beside Zhou An, the woman in black didn’t move an inch, grabbing Zhou An’s hand and looking at it curiously.
There was no way, as long as the woman in black left herself more than two meters away, then she would automatically return to her side, Zhou An simply brought the woman in black over.
Livering proficiency at home, time flew by, luckily he remembered this matter and wasn’t late.
“Lord Lu, I’m sorry for being late, I’m really sorry, I’ve been really exceptionally busy lately.” Zhou An said blindly without blinking.
He was indeed very busy, but he really wasn’t busy with the matter of the Crafting Supervisor, and he was so comfortable as a hand-holding cabinet.
Of course, this scene words must say ah, otherwise they pinch the time to come, how can not say.
Lu state magistrate also knows, waved his hand and said: “Since Mr. Zhou came, then please take a seat.”
Inside this second floor, there were round tables filled with a lot of dishes already on them, just waiting to be seated.
The people present were all veterans of the official world, and even some of the young people knew this well, so they were all seated in an orderly fashion according to their respective status.
But Lu state magistrate in the eyes, but waved his hand and said: “Since we are all in this maple forest state as an official, then do not and their own familiar people sit together, each other take turns to sit well, but also can make strangers into acquaintances, by then we have accumulated their own network well.”
The scene is such a situation, even if they sit together, are also small groups of people sitting.
Lu Zhouling, the big brother of Maple Forest State, had spoken, and the people present didn’t dawdle, and could only take turns sitting with some people they didn’t know well.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhou Ling nodded.
The first purpose had been achieved, letting everyone initially integrate into the circle first, so that they could also settle for a good start for getting acquainted with each other later on.
After all, they are sitting on the same table, we still can’t eat in silence, they have to communicate.
After Lu Zhou Ling did this step, he pointed to Zhou An to the table next to him and said, “Lord Zhou, come on, let’s sit here.”
This was the main location of the entire second floor, and it was obvious from the location that those who were able to sit at this table were the real power players of this Maple Forest State.
Zhou An naturally did not refuse, what made him feel surprised was that at this moment, Hou Si Zhou of the Zhen Gui Si was also at this table.
When Hou Sizhou saw Zhou An, he arched his hand and said, “How are you, Sir Zhou, I’ve only just arrived.”
Zhou An similarly arched his hand, “Good day, Lord Hou.”
After greeting, Zhou An then pulled the woman in black and sat on the seat by the window.
This position was just right to blow the breeze from the window, and could also hear a hint of the clamor outside the window.
Since he was already seated, Lu Zhou Ling raised his wine glass and said an opening speech.
After all, he was the host of this banquet, and everyone present also raised their wine glasses.
“Gentlemen, this time I called everyone over, in fact, what is the meaning of you are also clear, everyone between each other, what you want to exchange on the free speech, the other thing is that if there is any inconsistency, you can come to me at any time, I can act as an intermediary to mediate between everyone, after all, we when the official, for the sake of his majesty, for the sake of the people, but also have to do a good job of their own hands, but also have to do a good job with the people’s livelihood in this Maple Forest State.”
Since the Lu state magistrate opened his mouth, these officials of Fenglin state, naturally, responded in kind.
The people clinked their glasses in the air and downed the drinks before taking their seats one by one.
With this introductory speech from the state magistrate, the scene gradually changed from cold to lively.
Those officials who were not too familiar with each other, also recognized each other and began to talk slowly.
Of course, the content of the conversation, most of them started from their own position.
After all, many of them are the first time to meet, also not clear character hobbies and so on, from the position to start, but also able to open the topic.
Although the beginning is you say your, I say my, but this can also be lively is not it?
Zhou An was a straightforward person, he had been eating the dishes on the table, and from time to time, he talked to Lu Zhou Ling.
The woman in black, on the other hand, was looking around curiously, eating whatever Zhou An ate.
Whenever Zhou An chucked up a dish, the woman in black’s eyes would light up and similarly chuck up a dish, as if only what Zhou An had eaten was the safest.
Hou Sizhou, like Zhou An, did not say much.
He was from the Zhen Gui Division, a very special organization that was basically made up of martial artists, and on weekdays they were very good at dealing with those weird and such, or some disputes in the jianghu.
But in this scene, Hou Sizhou heart is very clear, what position he sits, so also rarely speak.
Of course, this is also mixed with some rank issues.
At this table, the biggest ones were him and Lu Zhou Ling, as well as Zhou An, so there was no need for him to go and talk much to others.
And this banquet itself, is the Lu state order presided over, to distinguish between the primary and secondary, Hou Sizhou naturally will not overstep his role.
Hou Sizhou mainly talked to Zhou An, as well as Lu Zhou Ling.
As he ate, Zhou An suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He felt that there was always a gaze looking at him, and then, turned his head to look.
When Zhou An looked at a table not far away, his brows wrinkled slightly.
At that table, a young man shaking a folding fan was staring at him with a gaze that was tinged with laughter.
After sensing this gaze, the young man raised his wine cup and gestured at Zhou An in the air.
Zhou An’s wrinkled brows slightly stretched, and although he did not recognize him, he similarly raised his wine glass, clinked it in the air, and drank the liquor in his hand.
Only after finishing his drink did Zhou An put down the cup.
At this time, next to him, Lu Zhou Ling brought his head over, “Sir Zhou, be careful of that fellow.”
Zhou An was slightly stunned, then asked, “What’s wrong, I don’t recognize this person, it seems to be a new face as well, it should be a newcomer who came after this big reshuffle, right?”
Lu Zhou Order nodded, “Lord Zhou is truly discerning, he is the newcomer to the post, but this guy’s background is not simple, he is from the second prince’s side.”
Saying that, Lu Zhou Ling told the story of what had just happened.
Zhou An narrowed his eyes and after listening to Lu Zhou Ling, he then laughed and said, “Lord Lu, is this considered you favoring me?”
At this time, when Lu Zhouling suddenly came with such words, Zhou An felt that Lu Zhouling was showing his attitude.
It meant that there was no involvement with that young man called Owen, in any way.
Lu Zhou Ling said with a smile on his face, “It’s fine if Lord Zhou knows.”
Of course he was showing his attitude, as he did not take any sides, but for Zhou An as a person, Lu Zhou Ling did not have any opinions, and even said that he was quite appreciative.
Just by looking at the things Zhou An has been doing in Maple Forest State recently, it proves that Zhou An is not a person of great treachery and evil, but also young and strong, and even sitting on a high position, such a person Lu Zhou Ling does not befriend, that would be a joke to say out loud.
In short, it is a sentence, I do not get involved, but I do not prevent me from making friends with the people I see.
Hou Sizhou was sitting quite close, in fact all three of them were sitting together at this time, when he heard Lu Zhouling say this, he frowned.
“This guy doesn’t remember too well, Lord Zhou, do you want me to help you teach him a lesson?”
What kind of organization is the Zhen Gui Si? It was one of the three major forces in the Great Chu Kingdom today, and it still only belonged to His Majesty the Emperor.
It’s just such an organization that hasn’t dipped its toe into anyone’s side and doesn’t have to be afraid of any of the emperors.
Because our background is the Emperor, even if you become the Crown Prince, you wouldn’t dare to fool around inside the Zhen Gui Si.
Hou Sizhou and Zhou An in Fenglin State, although there have not been a few interactions, but Zhou An destroyed the vertical conspiracy, indirectly, also helped Hou Sizhou a lot.
And Hou Sizhou itself is a jianghu people started, so the nature is also very straight, heard someone wants to Zhou An unfavorable, this time has plotted, want to deal with deal with this person.
Not too obvious, but secretly, exert some energy can still be.
As long as Zhou An has a word, it will work.
Zhou An shook his head when he heard Hou Sizhou say this, “Lord Hou, there is no need to be like this, it’s just a minor character.”
He was telling the truth, there was no need to let Hou Sizhou come over to help out because of such a minor character.
After helping out, he owed a small favor, and these days favors are not easy to return.
Zhou An felt that if he wanted to owe a big favor, this kind of small favor was unnecessary.
Hou Sizhou sniffed and nodded.
Since Zhou An was unwilling, then forget it.
This matter as long as Zhou An nodded, he would go and do it, but unfortunately, Zhou An did not want to, Hou Si Zhou felt that there was no need for him to take the initiative to do it.
Just at this time, Lu Zhou Ling’s gaze was slightly heavy as he stared at the table where Owen was at, “What the hell is this kid up to?”
Zhou An sniffed and turned his head, following Lu Zhou Ling’s gaze, and then, he saw Owen walking towards Zhou An’s side with a wine glass in his hand.
Zhou An raised an eyebrow, then turned around.
Owen walked closer, raised his wine cup up, and said, “My name is Owen, I am new to this office, and I am not familiar with this place, so I would like to ask Lord Zhou to take care of me in the future.”
Zhou An ate a mouthful of food, then put down his chopsticks and said, “Good to say, in the future, if there is anything, you can come and find me, help if you can, and if you can’t, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Just now, listening to what Lu Zhouling said, he felt that this Owen was coming on strong and would never be so simple.
But he himself was not a wimp.
This person really give him angry, then find an opportunity to secretly do is.
There are plenty of opportunities.
If you don’t come to mess things up, then forget it, everything is as it should be, and you can rest assured of your liver proficiency.
Owen held his wine glass, knowing that what Zhou An had just said was a scene, as Zhou An didn’t even want to lift the glass, but he didn’t care at all, tilting his head back to drink the wine in his hand, and also flipped the glass over to show that he had finished it.
After doing this, Owen then smiled and said, “Lord Zhou, could you please take a step over to a quiet place, I have some things that I would like to talk to Lord Zhou privately inside.”
He had thought that he had come over this time, and was considered to have been invited with a very polite attitude, but he hadn’t expected that when he finished his sentence, Zhou An looked at him with a strange look.
It was as if he was looking at a retard.
“Is there anything that we can’t talk about? Since we are all open and honest people, let’s talk about it in public.” Zhou An didn’t even bother to move his butt and turned around to eat a few more bites of food, leaving Owen out to dry.
The Luzhou magistrate next to him saw this scene and revealed a bitter smile.
He knew that this should be Zhou An’s usual style.
Hou Sizhou, however, his eyes lit up slightly.
That’s right!
This was the style that a Jianghu man should have!
Zhou An himself had risen from Anding County, and was considered half of a jianghu man, so this approach made Hou Si Zhou feel very much at home.
In Hou Sizhou’s thoughts, I don’t care what you are, I do a good job in my own acreage, I don’t offend others, and you don’t come to offend me on the line.
Owen was stunned by Zhou An’s words, and the few words he had prepared just now were all unspeakable at this point.
He felt that the other party did not have any moves, but the messy fist can kill the teacher.
This situation was neither to leave nor to stay, even Zhou An’s words put him in an unfavorable position at this table.
Because Zhou An’s subtext, is you call me over, is what secret, do not want others to hear.
But you just came out to take office and you engage in these little thoughts, what do the old people present think?
Owen had already felt that there were quite a few people looking at him with a small amount of hostility in their gazes, and it was clear that the words Zhou An started with had worked.
Thinking about this, his head was also very bright, and he made a decision at this moment.
“Lord Zhou, this is a serious statement, I just feel that this place is a bit noisy and inconvenient to talk about things, since Lord Zhou is not willing to find a quiet place, then we are all open and honest people, how about having a chat in front of everyone?”
After saying that, Owen also looked around the circle, meaning that he was not engaging in any other petty thoughts.
As expected, after he made this decision, the gazes of those old men from Maplewood State looked at him with much less hostility.
Owen was relieved in his heart, and only then did he say aloud, “I came here because I want to represent the Second Prince and invite Lord Zhou to become the Second Prince’s guest, I don’t know what Lord Zhou would like to do?”
There was nothing that couldn’t be said, pulling in the strings in public was also a means to an end.
After all, after pulling in the past, it would also be proclaimed to the outside, so Owen did not hide anything.
Zhou An very calmly shook his head, “No.”
With three simple words, he began to eat the dishes on the table again.
His own side had a deal with the Emperor, and as a decent person and a pure one at that, Zhou An felt that since it was a deal, it had to be honest.
So Zhou An flatly rejected it.
Owen of course did well with Zhou An’s idea of rejecting it, so he slowly said, “Lord Zhou, you can think again, the three emperors today, the first and second emperors are evenly matched, but the third is fading, Lord Zhou joining the camp of the third, you know the situation today, even if Lord Zhou joins by himself, it’s impossible to change the current situation of the three emperors. ”
In this situation, talking about the situation, Owen is also the first one, but he is not panicked at all.
Because before doing this, he had sought the advice of the second prince.
The second prince’s meaning was that it was okay to talk about it, there was nothing not to talk about.
Because now the fight for the crown prince’s position had been put out in the open.
Whoever does a good job is the Crown Prince, it’s as simple as that.
The emperor’s meaning was equally as simple.
“Does it have anything to do with me? And does it have anything to do with you?” Zhou An did not give face at all, putting down his chopsticks and looking at Owen with a gaze of a fool.
He felt that this man had a pit in his brain, and a big one at that.
He acted like he wasn’t interested at all, but he was still persuading there.
Aren’t you getting yourself into trouble?
Owen didn’t know that Zhou An was thinking this way and was still persuading, even taking two steps closer to Zhou An’s side: “Lord Zhou, people live in this world for nothing more than money and power, or women, and some of those with more advanced aspirations do it for the sake of displaying their ambitions in their chests, let’s say us, the scholars.”
“Nowadays, the situation of the three emperors has been divided, currently there is only the eldest prince and the second prince who are evenly matched, and the third prince has almost no possibility of overturning.”
While speaking, Owen took out the wine pot from the table next to him, and after pouring a cup for himself, he filled it up for Zhou An, and only then did he carry the wine cup, and without waiting for Zhou An to pick up the cup on the table, he just gently touched the cup, and drank down the liquor in one gulp.
“The second prince’s meaning is very simple, and there is no need for Lord Zhou to go and stand on his side, as long as Lord Zhou doesn’t stand on the third prince’s side, whatever Lord Zhou wants can be realized.”
“Money and power and women, these are the most elementary, upwards is to exert the retribution in one’s heart.”
“The second prince can now satisfy the initial things of Lord Zhou, of course, nowadays, money and power, Lord Zhou does not lack anymore, but beauty is not too much, right?”
Speaking of this place, Owen dropped his gaze on the black-clothed woman’s face and said with a smile, “This one beside Lord Zhou, is truly the most beautiful woman in the world, but a person like Lord Zhou doesn’t care to have a lot more, as long as Lord Zhou likes it, then it is at his fingertips.”
Subconsciously, Owen analyzed the current situation, especially this woman in black that Zhou An was carrying beside him, even Owen had to be a little shocked.
So in Owen’s opinion, for such an important banquet, Zhou An had brought this woman with him, so it could be imagined that Zhou An should be a person who preferred beauty.
In fact, this was not uncommon, who didn’t love beauty?
Because of this, this was why Owen said this condition out loud.
However, when this sentence was finished, Zhou An was nothing, but the eyes of the black-clothed woman next to him were slightly bright.
“Beauty …… beauty …… me ……”
The woman in black kept muttering to herself, the bright light in her eyes growing.
The sound of her muttering to herself should have been unsurprising under this lively scene.
However, when Owen spoke just now, the scene had fallen into silence, so the words of the woman in black were heard by the crowd.
Owen’s heart was a little strange, he couldn’t figure out what was going on, why did the woman in black give him a feeling of being uninitiated.
But the next moment, the confusion in the eyes of the woman in black was dissolving, and what replaced it was a firmness, and a hint of a murderous aura.
“No.” Two simple words came out from the black-clothed woman’s mouth.
Immediately afterward, the woman in black raised her right hand.
On the soles of her feet, the shape of an eight trigrams emerged, enveloping Owen.
Owen flew out backwards without warning and fell hard to the ground, blood spewing out without money.
“No …… no ……” The woman in black muttered to herself and stood up, walking towards Owen.
The killing aura on her body was getting heavier and heavier, and this scene made all the people present astonished.
Lu Zhou Ling reacted quickly and hurriedly said, “Lord Zhou, you must not use a killer on such an occasion!”
Without finishing his words, Owen, who was lying on the ground, came back to his senses and wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth with a hint of anger in his eyes.
“Zhou An, I spoke kindly, but you don’t know how to behave, you’re finished, attacking a court official in public, no one can protect this woman!”
“The woman …… dies.” The killing aura in the eyes of the woman in black was already like substance.
Just at this time, Zhou An drank the wine on the table in one gulp, and immediately afterward, came next to the woman in black, patted her shoulder, and slowly said.
“I’ll do it.”
