See You Tonight, Master Su

"We'll talk about it later. There's still work to be done."

Then, as if avoiding something, he turned to look at Su Nian.

"Are you two okay?"

Su Nian also seemed confused. "It's okay."

Su Minglang frowned and nodded. "Let's go. The banquet over there is starting. Let's go and have a meal together."

Dinner, dinner?

Tong Hua almost stopped his heart.

What does it mean to eat at this time?

Everything seemed to be moving in an unexpected direction. Why would Su Minglang, who was about to let Su Nian send her away, take her to that dragon pond and tiger cave again? She thought about it, but she didn't ask any more questions. Just as she was going down the mountain, she thought of Liayi's weak shout.

With Su Minglang's help, she walked to a short pine slope that was blown to a pulp.

"Liayi...!"

Liayi was a black shadow, crawling there motionless.

Dead?

Her heart ached a little, and Tong Hua called out again, "Liayi!"

Su Minglang glanced at him without saying a word and squatted down to take a look. Suddenly, he grabbed Li Mei's body and pinched her with all his might. He slapped her on the face a few times...

"Poof..."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Li Mei opened his eyes weakly.

When she saw Tong Hua, she paused, as if she were thinking, softly chanting and slowly calling her, "Sutaitai..." The same tone she used to call tong liang in those years.

Her awakening convinced Tong Hua of the miracle and rushed over.

"Liayi, bear with it. We'll get someone to save you right away."

His breath blinked unsteadily, and Li Mei's voice was like the sound of a mosquito.

"No, no... You... Live... Just, just..."

Only if you are alive will he live well.

Li Mei smiled weakly and muttered in pain. Suddenly, he reached out his dark hand and grabbed Tong Hua's wrist. He pointed to his chest and said with difficulty.

"Key, key... He..."

At this point, as if she had lost all strength, she suddenly opened her eyes, mumbled a few words, and her neck fell into the crook of her arm, paralyzed.

"Liayi!?" Tong Hua's heart raced and he shook her violently. "Hold on, we'll get someone to save you... We'll save you..."

Su Minglang poked her carotid artery, frowned, held Tong Hua's shoulder, and shook his head at her.

"Dead!"

With a heavy heart, Tong Hua closed his eyes, bit the corner of his lips, and looked at the vito a meter away. The choking voice on the mountain at night sounded a little more mournful.

Are you satisfied? Vito, are you satisfied with the result?"

Of course, vito would not answer her.

He was dead, and he had completed his final artistic performance.

Falling gently into Su Minglang's arms, Tong Hua thought of Liayi's heroic act of saving her just now, and his heart broke out in cold sweat.

After spending so much time with her, she had always known that this woman's character was not bad. Although she adored Wu Butler to the bone, she did not, as some women do, be jealous of her, or deliberately hurt her. No matter how uncomfortable she was, she still honestly followed Wu Butler's instructions and served her seriously...

Even so, she did not expect Li Mei to run up and save them.

Why?

Why on earth?

After a moment of silence in the mountain wind's sobs, she slowly opened her hand and groped around her neck and in front of her--as expected, there was a bunch of keys hanging around her neck.

With the light of the flashlight in Su Minglang's hand, it was clear that this set of keys was very old. There was even a layer of rust on the surface of the old key...

Where is this key?

Why did yang mei give it to her? Could it be that she had something to entrust to her, something she wanted to do, but had not had the time to say it?

She looked at Su Minglang suspiciously. Without waiting for her to say anything, he nodded.

"When we get back to Jingdu, I'll get someone to check it out. Don't be sad."

Tong Hua closed Li Mei's eyes and asked Su Minglang to help calm her down. Biting her lower lip, she held back the pain in her heart and slowly straightened up, trying to make her voice sound as calm as possible.

"Minglang, when things are over, remember to send someone to take her back."

"Yes."

Su Minglang answered softly. Tong Hua's eyes were red as she looked at the unrecognizable mountain. She could not help but feel the mist in her eyes. After sniffing a few times, she lowered her head and stroked her swollen belly. She said to Li Mei's body.

"Liayi, you don't have a child yet, do you? If you used to like Xiaotaiyang so much, then this child should be your goddaughter! When she can talk and walk, she will visit you often... Now, let's go first."

"Tong Hua!" Su Minglang frowned. "Relax! Otherwise, it would affect our daughter."

This move, try everything!

Tong Hua tried to hold back the tangle in his heart, grinned casually, and bowed deeply to Li Mei before letting him carry him down the mountain.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the mountain, she understood the doubts she had just harbored.

A group of men lined up with rifles and camouflage suits had blocked the way out of the entire mountain. Under these circumstances, even if they didn't want to go to Wu Butler's mountain top banquet, there was nothing they could do.

A bitter smile!

The leading middle-aged man came over and politely made a' please' gesture.

"Sushao, our lord has been waiting for you for a long time -"

Su Minglang squinted. "Lead the way!"

A mountain top banquet in Jinsanjiao.

An absolutely unique place.

Surrounded by a group of people, Tong Hua did not take a single step from one side of the mountain to the other, just as he did when he went up the mountain. However, in a familiar embrace, she did not need to be awkward again, nor did she need to deliberately find a topic to adjust the atmosphere. She could hold him in her arms without any scruples. She could talk to him as usual, saying goodbye to him, talking about her experiences over the past few days, talking about Liayi's feelings for Wu Butler.

Along the way, she was the one talking.

Su Minglang was listening and did not interrupt.

"Minglang."

Before they reached the top of the mountain and saw the dazzling lights, Tong Hua was calm and finally gave up on his family life and talked about the business.

"You lost the initiative just now because you came to save me, didn't you?"

"What's wrong?" Su Minglang looked down, his eyes seemed to be lit up, and he smiled a little. "Isn't that good? Your face is so big when you get angry."

Tong Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the top of the mountain and asked pointedly, "Is there any danger up there?"

"Are you afraid?" Su Minglang asked.

"With you around, I'm not afraid!"

What's so scary about what happened just now?

It was just a life saved, and now, it's considered expired.

Su Minglang raised his lips and smiled softly. His tone was as usual, indulgent, calm, confident, and not at all uncomfortable in the wolf's den.

"It's good not to be afraid. You'll eat later and listen to stories. If you're sleepy, sleep in my arms. When you wake up, we'll go home. Xiaotaiyang and Xiaotiantian have prepared gifts for you."

His relaxed tone finally made Tong Hua suspicious.

This is clearly a hongmen banquet, okay?

Why did Su Minglang make it an old friend's party?

On the top of the mountain platform, the lights were shining brightly.

This scene was slightly different from what Tong Hua had seen during the day.

Layers of gauze, led down from the tall trees, were dotted with various lights, so blurred that it looked like a qiongyu fairyland, so beautiful that it was unreal. On the platform was a circle of exquisite and imposing tables, full of delicacies, and table flowers with dew on them.

They all say that we have to eat and drink when we talk about business. Do we have to eat and drink when we talk about business?

Moreover, the people at the table who came to eat and drink were neat and strange.

In addition to a few people from m & h, Tong Hua also found the haggard and disheveled Bai family, Ershu, and even Zhang Long, who was tied up there with his hands cut behind his back...?

Naturally, Wu Butler was also present. There was an old man beside his desk.

He's not too old to say he's old.

But as Wu Butler had said before, his appearance was indeed frightening. Her facial muscles were sunken, her bones were thin, her cheeks were sharp, her cheekbones protruded, as if her body had been severely injured, and she looked fierce and uncoordinated. Even if she sat there motionless, it made her feel cool from the bottom of her heart.

Is he Wu Shilong?

Tong Hua thought to himself, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on the middle of a circle of tables.

It was not a decoration, but a large sacrificial table.

On the sacrificial table, there were candlelight paper money and offerings. Under the light of the candlelight, it was very clear that there were actually several people she did not know and Li Xiao's tablets on it. The tabletop was covered with white cloth and the deck was inlaid with black cloth. The atmosphere was low and strange.

There was no one at the scene to speak. Rows and rows of camouflage men with guns surrounded the entire mountain top. They raised their heads one by one, with an imposing manner, which made this place known as the "Night banquet" grow a layer of murderous atmosphere.

Tong Hua had never expected this to happen. Just because Li Xiao's position was still there, he could know what Li Xiao's position was. It was supposed to be a pass for the highest commander here.

It was clear that the whole situation was under the control of the old lord, and the hostages Su Minglang brought over had fallen into his hands. Why are they still talking? Is it necessary to talk?

After a moment of silence, Wu Shilong laughed and opened his mouth first.

"Is everyone here?"

He looked like an elder.

"All here." Wu Butler's tone was cold.

Nodding his head, he looked at Su Minglang, who was already seated, and sighed.

"That kid is gone?"

He was referring to the vito, which everyone knew. Su Minglang held Tong Hua's hand and raised the corners of his lips, answering in a calm manner.

"It's gone."

"What a pity! This kid has some skills. I've always valued him, but I didn't expect him to go astray." Wu Shilong shook his head helplessly, as if he were' honest' himself. "It was a pity that tonight would have been the best gathering we've had after so many years."

Tong Hua laughed in his heart. How could he have called all of them when Li Chun didn't come? Originally, Li Chun ruled this place. Since he gave up this line of work, he was able to be an elder here because Wu Butler was on good terms with him.

Su Minglang chuckled. "Things change. Wushu, you don't have to feel bad." Tong Hua looked at Su Minglang with a frown. It seemed that he knew Wu Shilong a long time ago. So Su Minglang knew vito too. Do you know who he was? Tong Hua still suppressed his doubts.

Glancing at him, Wu Shilong did not follow, but turned to Tong Hua.

"This is brother li's lost daughter?"

Tong Hua met his unfriendly face and said, "Yes, how is Wushu?" She called after Su Minglang.

"Not good! Probably old. I've been thinking back to the days when I was with your father, when we were all good brothers. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Wu Shilong's words seemed to be filled with heartache and pain, as well as memories of the past.

With him like this, Tong Hua could only say that this man was really old and weird, acting like a real person.

She smiled and stopped answering.

"Are you hungry?" Su Minglang tucked her coat around her shoulder, took her hand affectionately, and asked gently, "Do you want some?"

"Nothing. Not hungry." Tong Hua smiled.

"Well, wait a little longer. I'll catch up with Wushu and we'll go back."

Su Minglang followed her hair and smiled softly, without the slightest sense of being a captive. What made Tong Hua even weirder was that even Wu Shilong looked like he was reminiscing about the past, and he nodded in tandem with his words. He sent people to fill the glasses in front of the families before raising them to propose.

"For the reunion we haven't seen for a long time, let's drink this first."

Except for Zhang Long, who had his hands tied behind his back, the others stood up and raised their glasses.

After that, everyone did not drink the wine in their glasses and fell on the table at the same time, aiming at the altar in the middle and spilling the wine to the spirits of the leaders who were worshipped on it.

Putting down his glass, Wu Shilong sat back and sighed.

"I heard that when big brother li went back to look for his daughter, he ignored a person who went to huo huo Sushao and Tong Hua... Ah, boss zhang?"

The next question he asked was Zhang Long.

Zhang Long's mouth moved a few times and his eyes were wide open. He did not know if there was something wrong with his tongue or if his throat was damaged. He could not utter a single word, but he kept glaring at him fiercely. He was even more hostile than his enemy.

It was obvious that he had suffered a lot at Weicheng's place, which made him look like he was now...

Wu Shilong smiled with ease, his sunken muscles looking even more distant.

"I forgot, you can only listen now. So, why don't you just listen?!"

Tong Hua pursed her lips, glanced at the embarrassed Zhang Long, and listened to Wu Shilong's increasingly low voice.

"Sushao, do you really want to know why?"

Su Minglang chuckled. "Yes."

Wu Shilong's thin chin raised and he suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously. "In fact, the cause and effect of all this, in the end, is only for a passionate love. Some people did not turn back, some died and died. After all. It's all for love."

A skinny old man said "Love" in a funny way.

But no one laughed at the scene. One by one, it was obvious that they had washed their ears and were listening.

Su Minglang looked at him and rubbed his brows. "I didn't expect Wushu to know love, too?"

He poured himself a glass of wine, and Wu Shilong drank it himself, his voice cold and without a trace of heat.

"Sushao, I didn't want to make things difficult for you. But it wasn't easy for xiao bai. He was the only blood of the Bai family now. What would you do if it were you? I'm sure you'll grant Wushu this little favor, won't you?"

When he said "Little white," Tong Hua subconsciously looked at Ershu of the Bai family. He was about the same age as Wu Butler, and this Wu Shilong actually called him xiao bai.

His expression was indifferent and he did not look at it, as if he was outside the whole situation and had nothing to do with himself.

Looking at his skinny face, Tong Hua's brows furrowed and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Just then, Su Minglang smiled and asked, "I don't know Wushu, how do you want me to do it?"

"It's very simple. You let m & h go. You said that old grudge was caused by that m & h. Look at how many people and things it took. You said that m & h developed and who was trampled to death. You know in your heart that as long as you give up, I will find you a quiet place to plant flowers and grass, fish and walk dogs, and have a good time. Sushao, this is a happy life that no one can ask for, right?"

Su Minglang raised a smile, suddenly rubbed his brows and directed him to the big altar table in the middle of a circle of tables.

"Is Wushu right about them?"

Wu Shilong pursed her lips and her eyes were bloodshot.

"We have been taught and admonished by our parents since we were young. Our mission is to be filial and loyal to the li family. My grandfather, my father, our entire wu family, existed for the Lijia. But how did the Lijia repay us? For the sake of family interests, for the sake of brotherhood, for destroying our family, for destroying everything... Sushao, now that young master Li Chun has voluntarily given up, do you think marrying big brother li's daughter can cover the sky with one hand? Even if you can, shouldn't we retaliate?"

His words were very serious, but his tone was very calm.

Su Minglang listened and smiled calmly, "Wushu, the Lijia didn't apologize to you. If I say I'm sorry to you, it's probably only Zhang Long. He messed up my father-in-law's plans and did something that he wasn't happy about. So you see, I'm giving you all my people now, isn't that enough?"

"Do you think that's enough?"

Wu Shilong looked at him with a smile, his old muddy eyes full of anger.

However, it was obvious that he was a good mood control guy, his tone was as slow as ever, word by word, very organized.
