Chapter 1002 At This Time

The words that Ji Pei wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He turned his head and looked at Wu Fan, who was standing on the steps with a faint smile on his face. He felt a chill all over his body.

This young man, he seemed to have really underestimated him!

With Wu Fan watching on the side, Ji Pei couldn't say too much to Dai Liang. After the two looked at each other, they went to the hall together.

In the hall, all kinds of food and wine were prepared. Wu Fan really put a lot of effort into this banquet. All kinds of ingredients and wine were provided by him. Many vegetables that should not appear in this season were placed in front of everyone.

"I've heard that Wu Fan has channels to buy all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Today I saw that it was true."

"Yes, this is not the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that many vegetables and fruits here should not appear in this season. How did Wu Fan buy these vegetables? It shouldn't be."

"Yes, these vegetables and fruits should not be hidden in the cellar. Look at how delicious they are. They are fresh food at a glance."

"It's really incredible."

The guests who were invited to the banquet were shocked when they saw the various vegetables and fruits placed in front of them.

And some well-informed people heard that Hu Jinsong, Zhao Jingcheng and others could buy these vegetables and fruits from Wu Fan at a cost price. Before, they didn't believe that Wu Fan had these things, but now they are envious and jealous.

"Pa pa pa!"

Everyone sat down, Wu Fan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then he said loudly: "Everyone, our Qingyuan County is originally a remote town. It is an honor for our Qingyuan County to have Her Highness the Seventh Princess come to visit today. Let us toast Her Highness the Seventh Princess together."

"Cheers to the Seventh Princess!" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, and said respectfully to the Seventh Princess who was sitting in the first seat.

The Seventh Princess nodded reservedly and took a sip of the tea that Wu Fan specially prepared for her.

After everyone sat down again, the banquet officially began.

Everyone chatted quietly while eating delicious food and drinking fine wine, with smiles on their faces. Occasionally, someone would toast the Seventh Princess and say a few flattering words, and the whole hall was full of joy.

However, there were two people who were sitting on pins and needles. The two did not laugh with others around them, but just sat there drinking wine by themselves. Whenever someone came to talk to them, or the Seventh Princess looked over, they would squeeze out a trace of awkward smiles on their faces.

The two people were Ji Pei and Dai Liang.

They were worried about the captured people at this time, so how could they have the mind to drink and chat?

Of course, they were not worried about the safety of the soldiers themselves, but whether they would betray them. After sitting down, Dai Liang knew from Ji Pei that he might have been exposed. The reason why Wu Fan arrested his soldiers was because he suspected that the Seventh Princess came to Qingyuan County in disguise, which was leaked by the soldiers.

"It's all your fault!" Ji Pei, who was getting more and more depressed, said to Dai Liang in a low and stern voice: "If you had followed my instructions and led people to pretend to be rebels to ambush the Seventh Princess instead of relying on those mud legs, how could this happen now?"

"Father-in-law, it's too late to say these now, just tell me what to do now." Dai Liang said anxiously.

His soldiers were arrested, Dai Liang couldn't help but panic. Once the matter was leaked, he would definitely be involved.

"How do I know what to do? Aren't you quite smart? Find a way yourself!" Ji Pei said angrily. The good situation was ruined by Dai Liang, and Ji Pei's dissatisfaction can be imagined.

"Father-in-law, I am stupid and can't think of a solution." Dai Liang took a deep breath, restrained his impatience and said to Ji Pei.

"Now you just pray that your soldiers will be stubborn and say nothing." Ji Pei said.

"Yes, they are very loyal to me, they won't say anything!" Dai Liang's eyes lit up.

"Are you so sure?" Ji Pei sneered: "Wu Fan is cunning, who knows what cruel punishment he will use to interrogate your soldiers, can you guarantee that they will be stubborn and not speak?"

"This..." Ji Pei said this, Dai Liang was really not so confident in his heart.

"You must prepare early now." Ji Pei said: "Before your soldiers give you up, take the initiative!"

"What should I do?" Dai Liang asked.

"Kill Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess!" Ji Pei said coldly.

"But how to start?" Dai Liang said: "With the ambush outside the city before, the defense around the Seventh Princess must be tighter. It is not easy to succeed. Besides, the people I arranged were captured by Wu Fan, and there is no way to assassinate the Seventh Princess."

"Then you can only pray that your soldiers can hold on for a longer time, giving you more time to find opportunities." Ji Pei said.

Dai Liang's face was a little gloomy. Whether it was deliberately leaking the whereabouts of the Seventh Princess to the rebels, or arranging those soldiers to assassinate the Seventh Princess, it was a capital crime. Once his soldiers couldn't hold on and confessed, then he would definitely die!

Dai Liang thought it was a good plan that he had thought wrong, but now it seems that it may cost him his life. He really regretted it.

"What are General Dai and Mr. Ji talking about?" When Dai Liang was regretting, Wu Fan came over with a wine glass and said to the two of them lightly: "I see that you two have been talking all the time without eating. Do you not like the things I prepared here?"

"That's not the case." Ji Pei restrained his expression and said to Wu Fan: "The Viscount can get these vegetables and fruits. He is really a master. I admire him. The taste of this wine is also very mellow. It is the only one I have ever seen in my life. I really admire the Viscount's methods."

"Why do I feel that Mr. Ji is saying something else?" Wu Fan said with a smile.

"The Viscount has misunderstood. I have no other meaning." Ji Pei said lightly.

"At this time, Mr. Ji can still remain so calm. I admire you." Wu Fan looked at Ji Pei and said.

"I don't know when the 'this time' in the Viscount's mouth is? Why can't I stay calm?" Ji Pei's eyes seemed to become sharper when he looked at Wu Fan.

"Does Mr. Ji know what I mean by 'this time'?" Wu Fan said calmly.

"I don't know." Ji Pei replied.

"What about General Dai?" Wu Fan turned his gaze to Dai Liang and said leisurely: "I wonder if General Dai knows what the 'this time' I mean is?"

"I..." Dai Liang, who has always been confident and even arrogant, was a little flustered in the face of Wu Fan's gaze: "I don't know either."
