Another banquet!

...

Yuan Hui glanced at Lian Xin without batting an eyelid, as if he wanted to see something wrong with his face.

In the end, Lian Xin did not say anything. He just calmly let Yuan Hui sized him up.

After a long time, Yuan Hui slowly said, “Alright, I’ll be there on time.”

Ning Yue knew that Yuan Hui was going to the palace for a banquet and wanted to stop him, but Yuan Hui told her, “Don’t worry, Lian Xin has a request this time.”

Whether he had a request or not, Lian Xin was too annoying. Who knew what he would do?

“But Uncle, his personality is too difficult to figure out. I’ll stay away from him if I can,” Ning Yue said worriedly.

Yuan Hui smiled and asked Ning Yue, “Who’s your Uncle?”

“I know that you’re the emperor of Russia, but Lian Xin’s personality is too difficult to figure out. Jiang Ying also entered the palace and was convicted of murder.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Yuan Hui was not worried at all. He said, “Where’s Jiang Ying now?”

“In the Nan residence,” Ning Yue replied.

“Isn’t that so? He’s fine,” Yuan Hui said.

Even so, Ning Yue was still worried. “It’s hard to say. The first time, he didn’t have any experience. The charges are a little far-fetched, but what about the second and third time?”

“No, don’t worry,” Yuan Hui said.

Jiang Ying was only the heir of the Great Yun Nation, and he was the emperor of a country with the entire Russia behind him.

If Lian Xin wanted to touch him, he had to think twice.

Amidst Ning Yue’s worries, Yuan Hui went to the palace of the Black City Kingdom. Although it was a banquet, it was actually very quiet. Lian Xin did not call anyone else over.

Only Lian Xin and Yuan Hui attended this banquet.

Yuan Hui couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on him and asked him directly, “Why did you call me here?”

Lian Xin did not answer. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and walked to Yuan Hui. He took a memorial out.

He handed the memorial to Yuan Hui. “Please take a look at it, Emperor of Russia.”

Yuan Hui glanced at the memorial and was stunned. He looked at Lian Xin in disbelief and asked, “You can bear to?”

“Yes,” Lian Xin said.

Yuan Hui had mixed feelings. After talking to Lian Xin for a while more, he left the palace.

When he returned to the manor he had bought and saw Ning Yue and Jiang Ying waiting for him, he sighed and said, “You definitely wouldn’t have thought that Lian Xin would look for me today.”

Ning Yue frowned hard. “Uncle, what is it?”

“He wants the Black City Kingdom to become a city of Russia,” Yuan Hui said.

Ning Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Can he bear to?”

“That’s what I asked at the time. He told me that he was willing,” Yuan Hui replied.

This time, it was Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s turn to be shocked. Ning Yue muttered, “Could it be that he doesn’t like the Great Yun Nation, so he’s risking his life to make the Black City Kingdom a city of Russia so that the Great Yun Nation will fight Russia?”

“Maybe,” Yuan Hui said.

He could not figure out Lian Xin’s personality anymore. If Lian Xin really thought that way, he had really overestimated him.

“What exactly is he thinking?” Ning Yue asked in confusion.

Jiang Ying did not speak at the side. Actually, from the moment Lian Xin accused him of murder and easily released him, he felt that something was wrong.

Lian Xin was a meticulous person. How could he let him go so easily?

Therefore, Jiang Ying had always suspected that Lian Ying had other thoughts.

However, today, when Yuan Hui told them Lian Xin’s thoughts, he did not know how to react.

“Alright, we don’t have to think too much. With me around, you don’t have to worry too much,” Yuan Hui said to Ning Yue with a smile.

How could she not be worried?

What kind of person was Lian Xin? He had already committed murder and arson. What could he not do?

Ning Yue was very confident that Lian Xin’s motive for submitting to Russia was definitely not pure.

However, Ning Yue did not say this in person. She believed that everyone knew this possibility.

After leaving Yuan Hui’s residence, Ning Yue asked worriedly, “Jiang Ying, why don’t we investigate thoroughly? I don’t know what Yuan Hui wants to do, but I can’t let go of this matter.”

Jiang Ying nodded and replied, “Get Baili to investigate. This time, he will definitely send someone to keep an eye on me. If my people go out, they might not find anything.” After all, this was the Black City Kingdom.

Ning Yue sighed heavily.. What was going on? Why was there such a suffocating pressure when she came to the Black City Kingdom?
