And just like that, time flies.

On the third day before the wedding, Chen Tu got the invitation. Qin Yao had a pair of good hands and could not only embroider but also copy.

I made a copy of the invitation that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

At that time, the excitement surrounding the Zhao family's wedding was getting bigger and bigger, and the scale of the event was astonishing. It was expected that there would be a thousand tables for the buffet.

The entire mansion was filled with joy, and red lanterns were everywhere, as if composing a grand event, making many people in the capital envious.

But in this joyous sea of ​​red, a hall in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion is extremely eye-catching white, and even has words of inscription on it!

No one dared to walk around here, it was almost a forbidden area. Two coffins were placed here, lifted up by stools and never touched the ground.

The ancients believed in settling down to the ground to be at peace. Doing this is undoubtedly against common sense.

A burly middle-aged man with a few silver strands in his hair sat there expressionlessly, burning paper money in his hand.

"Huan'er, Qing'er." He spoke softly, like an old and ferocious lion.

"In two days, in two days, I will let you see with your own eyes what will happen to those who killed you."

"In this deadly situation, not only will Guan Ning die, but those people from the Pei family will also pay the price!"

"The old emperor has also figured this out."

"I don't believe that anyone else can protect him?" Zhao Tai sneered.

"I'm going to make that little bastard watch the people around him die one after another. Then I'll torture him for ten, twenty years, making him wish he were dead, unable to live or die!"

Wow!

The paper money in the brazier suddenly grew more vibrant, shining on Zhao Tai's face, revealing its madness and viciousness.

……

The fourth day is the day before the wedding.

The atmosphere in the already deserted Guan Mansion became eerily tense, as if the outside and inside were two different worlds.

"Report!"

"Prince, the tunnel has been dug!" Shengqi rushed back, his face covered in mud, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes. He was panting.

"Report!"

"Sir, the captain of the North Gate was also bribed. He spent five hundred taels of gold!"

Guan Ning, who was sitting on the pear blossom chair, took a deep breath when he heard this, stood up, and looked at the sunset outside. He clenched his fists and his eyes were firm.

"it is good."

"Go and prepare two more boxes of copper coins, take them with you, and twenty-seven fast horses, stationed outside the city."

"Also, bring some of the Zhuge crossbows and shields over here." He said in a deep voice, having already made preparations for the worst. The backup plan was to fight to the death!

"Yes!" The people of Yipintang just did it without asking any questions and followed till death, even if it meant going to Zhao's mansion to snatch someone away for a wedding, even if it meant going against the emperor.

"Speak softly and don't let Madam know." Guan Ning said. He did not tell Qin Yao about this.

Everyone was about to agree.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came: "What's going on? Why don't you let me know?"

Everyone looked at him in unison, feeling awkward. They saw Qin Yao standing outside the eaves, staring at Guan Ning with an extremely angry look.

Guan Ning smiled awkwardly and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? If I don't come, will you be able to lie to me?" Qin Yao spoke to Guan Ning with a serious face for the first time.

Shengqi and others on the side felt embarrassed.

Guan Ning gestured for them to go first, and then they left. Then he stepped forward and grabbed Qin Yao's hand, but Qin Yao broke free in an instant.

"You have a bad temper. What's wrong? Are you going to make trouble?" Guan Ning shouted and hugged her from behind.

She struggled and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you hide it from me? You clearly said that we would face it together!"

"But you lied to me!" She turned around with her eyes wide open, her eyes red, hiding tears of grievance.

Guan Ning wiped it for him, his face calm and his heart steady, and said in a gentle tone: "Look, didn't you misunderstand?"

"I just didn't get to tell you!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Yao shouted, scaring Guan Ning. Is Sister Yao really going to turn against her?

"You clearly want to leave me behind!"

Guan Ning jumped up and down: "It's unfair!"

"My lady!"

"I swear, I have no intention of abandoning you. I just asked Shengqi and the others to prepare to steal Pei Nanyin out tomorrow. Do you think I should go with you?"
