Chapter 20 Bloodbath

Ye Lin's subordinate paused playing with the dagger, turned to look at Xiji who was looking at him intently, and asked in an ambiguous tone: What, you don't want me to go?

Xiji looked at Ye Lin. Although he hated the things Ye Lin asked him to do, he didn't want him to die. I, I just think it's dangerous to go there.

Yes, it's dangerous, but it can also be fun, right?

Listening to Ye Lin's expectant tone, Xiji got goose bumps all over his body, and then looked up at the man who was playing with the dagger again. He cursed in his heart that he was a psychopath, who would find such a dangerous thing interesting.

Xiji could only curse the man in front of him as a lunatic in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, nor did he dare to persuade him anymore. He just hoped that Ye Lin would not take him with him to the banquet.

Ye Lin thought that kind of scene was very interesting, but he couldn't experience the fun at all, he only felt scared.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. When he followed Ye Lin and a dozen guards to the gate of Han Mansion, he was not even in the mood to appreciate this magnificent mansion. His mind and eyes were filled with thoughts about whether he would be able to leave here alive today.

He really wanted to grab Ye Lin’s collar and roar at him, “If you want to die, why don’t you do it yourself? Why do you have to drag him along? He is just an innocent citizen.”

Unfortunately, Xiji didn't dare. After getting off the carriage, he stayed by Ye Lin's side like a quail. Especially after entering the Han family's carved and painted building, his body tensed to the extreme.

Looking at each servant standing by, they would wonder if they would suddenly pull out a long knife from behind and chop at them.

Compared to Xiji's fear, Ye Lin acted as if he was taking a walk in his own home, so leisurely that he didn't even look like he was going to a Hongmen Feast. Xiji even suspected that if he knew how, he might even hum a few songs to suit the occasion.

Just like that, with everyone having different thoughts, the group arrived at the banquet hall.

An old man in gray clothes immediately came over and bowed respectfully to Ye Lin, "King."

Ye Lin nodded but didn't answer.

The old man didn't care. He led the man to sit on the main seat and sat down at the bottom himself.

After everyone was seated, maids brought delicious tea and exquisite-looking snacks.

Looking at those exquisite snacks, Xiji wanted to try some, but then he remembered that they were here to attend the Hongmen Banquet, so he didn't dare to move.

I wonder what the king is here for? The old man said this without any politeness, not at all like a subordinate would say to his superior.

Ye Wang glanced at him lightly and said directly: I thought Mr. Han knew it.

I am just the manager of this bitter land, how can I know the king's thoughts. Mr. Han said with a smile, like a kind old man.

He secretly increased the tax quota set by his superiors, killed the people who went to complain, and hired someone to set fire to the inn to kill me. Tell me, what did I come here for?

Hearing him say this, Xiji, who was sitting next to him, was immediately startled. He tugged at his sleeve, wanting to ask him why he had to speak so bluntly. Didn't he know that they were now in the enemy's territory? What if he got mad and came to lock the door and let the dogs out?
