The prince is very cruel

After a while, the banquet began.

Although Heishui Town is not big, it is just a county town, and the Ziwu Escort Agency is just an escort agency, which cannot be compared with those princes and nobles, but this banquet is also luxurious.

There are a total of 38 dishes on each table, comparable to the Manchu-Han banquet, and there are even special maids to pick up the dishes.

Moreover, when Guan Ning arrived at the scene, he discovered that there were actually other people there. In addition to Tang Jiu and Tang Zhuer, there were also some relatives and friends of the escort agency, sitting at three tables in total.

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone, this is the young hero I told you about. He saved my daughter!"

"Come, Brother Ning, please take a seat!" Tang Jiu was extremely enthusiastic, and his attitude was as if he was looking at his son-in-law.

Guan Ning was helpless, but since he had come this far, he could only bite the bullet and sit down, thinking, I'll leave after eating.

"Young Master Ning is a young hero who saved the young lady. This is the fate between Young Master Ning and the escort agency!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"I think Young Master Ning is quite young, yet he has such skills. It's rare in this world!"

"Come, let's toast to the Escort Master and Young Master Ning."

"Come on, come on!"

There were constant congratulations and flattery. Guan Ning didn't like such occasions very much, but considering that Tang Jiu also had good intentions, he dealt with them one by one.

He drank all the wine, while Shengqi buried his head in eating, and from time to time he would glance around to protect Guan Ning's safety.

Tang Zhu'er, who was standing by, took the initiative to pour wine for Guan Ning, saying it was to repay her kindness, but Guan Ning always felt something was wrong and became more determined to leave early.

He had no intention of getting into more trouble.

However, the banquet lasted much longer than he had imagined. After three rounds of drinks, the guests of the escort agency pulled Guan Ning aside to talk about his background, what business he was doing in other places, whether he was married, etc.

They were very enthusiastic, as if it was arranged by Tang Jiu.

Guan Ning really couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't fit in with them, so he made an excuse that he wanted to go to the bathroom, and then ran out to enjoy the night wind.

"call!"

"It's so stuffy, it's more comfortable to be outside alone."

He muttered to himself and started strolling around alone, intending to go back later. After saying goodbye, he would leave Heishui County directly and make plans for the next step after arriving in Zizhou. This was his plan.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard bursts of soft crying. It was a woman's!

It was late at night, and they were by the pond when suddenly a woman's sobbing sounded. This scared Guan Ning so much that sweat broke out on his back, and he sobered up a lot.

Looking closely, I saw that the crying sound came from the pond, where a woman was squatting.

The moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the pond, vaguely reflecting her face. Guan Ning looked at her a few more times, and then was surprised. Isn't this Tang Xiang'er?

He couldn't help but step forward.

"Wuwuwu..." The sobbing sound became more and more obvious. She was extremely sad and aggrieved, like a homeless little girl.

Guan Ning heard the voice and sighed inexplicably, but did not disturb them.

For a long time, Tang Xiang'er was completely unaware that there was someone behind her. When she had no tears left to cry, suddenly, a magnetic voice sounded.

"Girl, wipe it off."

A handkerchief was handed over.

Tang Xiang'er was startled, her pretty face showed panic, and she turned around suddenly.

She also saw a scene that she would never forget in her life. Under the bright moonlight, a handsome young man with a face full of stubble but full of youthfulness, handed her a handkerchief against the moonlight.

It was as if a beam of moonlight from the sky struck her miserable and helpless heart.

She was stunned, and it took her three full breaths to react. She immediately looked away: "Yes, benefactor!"

"Why are you here?" She quickly wiped away her tears.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "It was too stuffy in there, so I came out for a walk and happened to run into you. I thought this escort agency was haunted, with a female ghost crying in the middle of the night."

He teased.

Tang Xiang'er burst into laughter, her eyes red, like an angel.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, benefactor."

"My benefactor, I didn't scare you, did I?"

"I wasn't scared, but I was tired." Guan Ning spoke humorously and shook his hand. The handkerchief was still in the air.
