After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

"Come on, come on~"

Bai Lize quickly wiped the stool and invited Lao Wu to sit down. "So what do you mean?"

"Hmph," the fifth brother said, abandoning his foolish demeanor, and snorted disdainfully, "Master, you're too kind."

This means...

"Hey, we're all brothers, feel free to speak your mind."

"If we survive, the fourth brother can guard the pond by himself."

The idiot fourth brother turned around and chuckled foolishly, "Okay, okay, okay."

Bai Li Ce: "Okay."

"Then what do you want?"

"I want to be an official."

"High-ranking official"

drink--

Pooh!

The unscrupulous capitalist immediately jumped up in anger.

"Dream on!"

"Still want to be an official?"

"From bandits to government soldiers, and even high-ranking officials?!"

"Why don't you just say you want to be emperor? Do you really think the court is your personal property?"

"Please, if you're going to make a request, at least be realistic!"

"With your gluttony, laziness, and stench, it would be a miracle if you became a mere yamen runner in the future!"

"A high-ranking official? You're dreaming!"

Do they really think she's some kind of omnipotent turtle in a wishing well?

Idiot!

After unleashing his attack, Lao Wu merely glanced at Bai Li Ce indifferently.

Then he got up, wiped his hands on his sides, and strode away, saying, "Then I guarantee you won't be able to hold out for three hours."

"Hey!" the third leader roared, "You little brat, you've gone too far!"

"You bastard! You're not from the bandit gang?!" Li Simei retorted angrily.

Having said that, he and the third leader charged at the kid.

result......

The fifth brother grabbed them by the arm, turned around, and lifted them up. He then spun them around twice, pinned them to the table, and left them unable to move, foaming at the mouth.

Then, with extreme arrogance, he lip-read a few times at Baili Ce, grinned, and asked, "How about it?"

"My esteemed employer."

Bai Li Ce quickly jumped over and shook the fifth brother's hand in a friendly manner, "You will be the next first-rank official."

......

The city in summer is not as cool as the mountains. After a heavy rain, the coolness subsided, but Wang Qingyan couldn't sleep.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the imminent exposure of the He family's private army.

He was just wondering how much Baili Ce would trust him after the matter of the three cities was completely resolved.

It's unrealistic to say you don't believe it at all, but to say you believe it completely...

It's also his own fault for being too impatient. He hadn't seen the light for a long time, and thought that doing more would allow the light to shine in.

Little did they know that even the most dazzling light must move with the shadow of the sun.

He naturally couldn't just wait there.

What time is it now?

A deep, dull voice came from the darkness, "Four quarters past 9 PM."

Wang Qingyan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze even more vacant than that of the guards beside him. "Has the Investigation Division received the news?"

"..."

Can't answer?

That means there's nothing left. "Then let them have a little more air in."

"Yes," faint footsteps faded into the darkness.

As Wang Qingyan walked to the window, his eyes suddenly lit up again.

It's just that he hasn't had anyone to share such a beautiful moonlit night with for a long time.

"Six sixes!"

"The top five!"

"..."

"drink!"

"Six sixes!"

"Eight horses!"

"..."

"drink!"

"Drink some more!"

"drink!"

"drink!"

"vomit......"

Bai Li Ce, who had been dancing a ballroom dance all the way out of the Heroes' Hall, had already vomited up his breakfast and lunch after losing nine out of ten "horse betting" games, even though he didn't go directly to the table to compete.

"The boss?"

"Hmm..." Baili Ce waved his hands wildly, swatting away Lao Si like a madman, "No, don't help me, I... I can walk..."

After twisting his ankles and walking around in a circle in the spacious open space, returning to the starting point and stepping on the sleeping Third Leader, Baili Ce chuckled, "See? I told you I wasn't drunk!"

"Hehe, I'm not drunk!" Li Simei swayed towards a pillar, grabbed it, and said, "Come on, boss! I, we'll drink some more..."

"Yes! Let's drink some more!" The drunks echoed in the Hall of Heroes.

The only two conscious individuals, the fourth and fifth, exchanged a glance, and...

Resigned to their fate, they carried everyone back to their rooms one by one.

"What about here?" The fourth brother meant that if no one was watching, what if the incense at the altar broke if they weren't careful?

The fifth brother glanced back and said, "It's alright, it won't break."

"Alright!" The fourth brother, feeling quite relieved, helped one of them off with his arms.

The fifth brother carried the second-in-command on his back, grabbed the third-in-command, and dragged Li Simei away as if taking a stroll.

Because Baili Ce was the owner and held a relatively high status, and had just agreed to Lao Wu's wish, Lao Wu specially brought her a bowl of hangover soup after seeing off the other drunkards, and poured it directly into her mouth.

"Ugh... I feel nauseous..."

After being forced to drink the bile from Baili Ce, she vomited it all up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, begging Lao Wu not to feed her excrement.

The fifth child, "..."

After throwing the unconscious Baili Ce back into his room, Lao Wu went back to his room and took a nap.

In the middle of the night, Baili Ce woke up from hunger.

I got up and looked around, but there was nothing to eat.

So, we went to the Hall of Heroes.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't go to steal the chicken wings from An Luoshi's memorial altar.

I just went to check if the incense had been burned out.

"Hmm~"

"As expected, it didn't break." Looking at the three incense sticks, each over a meter long and as thick as an arm, Baili Ce nodded in satisfaction.

The fifth brother was not lying to her; the incense would indeed not burn out.

I feel much more at ease now.

She went back to her room and found the food box. She had to admit that the dried fruit snacks Wang Qingyan had prepared for her were indeed quite good and satisfying.

Fortunately, she had a high alcohol tolerance, which allowed her to wake up in time and eat while waiting for the investigators to come find her.

Unfortunately, even the best drinking capacity couldn't stop the third leader from cheating on the tenth round. He was caught red-handed by the honest fourth brother, and all those who had placed bets on the horse races were each fined ten bowls.

But she was forced to drink eighteen bowls!

The reason is that in the first nine rounds, the second-in-command was very loyal and willing to accept defeat, but he was all show and no substance. He passed out immediately after drinking just one bowl of wine and could not be woken up even by needles.

Then they all cheated until the tenth round, hoping the third-in-command would win back the losses so no one would have to drink anymore. But who knew...

The fourth brother is really honest.

The fifth brother's fists are really hard.

"It seems that the young lady is doing quite well here."

Just as Baili Ce finished eating the last nut, Lin Yuchuan appeared right in front of her.

He stood up, brushed the crumbs off his clothes, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Prefect Lin."

The lip shapes that Lao Wu did during the day weren't meant to insult her ancestors, but rather to say—

[Lin Yuchuan at midnight]

Lin Yuchuan returned the greeting with a cupped hand, "Your Majesty is relieved that the young lady is unharmed."

"Soon."

"Ok?"

"Please come inside for a detailed discussion."
