"Miss, son-in-law, you can show up now. Go to the Master's table first, and then the Master will take you to the table to transfer." said a maid who knew the process of the engagement banquet.

"Okay..." Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen nodded, left the wing room and headed for the lobby.

Chen Tianhua met this engagement banquet for the first time, and it was awkward in terms of titles, especially the future father-in-law and other elders.

Moreover, this temporary informal engagement banquet has no emcee, so it depends on one's own performance.

They walked in front, and behind was the maid Xiao Cui holding a wine cup and a wine pot.

"Dear elders, younger generations Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen both came to toast, wishing the elders a happy and prosperous life and a hundred years of long life." Chen Tianhua said himself.

"Congratulations to you couple for getting married soon. I will come to participate at that time."

“…”

Chen Tianhua and Li Shudian toasted Li Cunzhi first, and the ceremony was simple, so they stopped kneeling.

Then Li Cunzhi introduced these important personnel one by one, and Chen Tianhua said thank you.

After the first table was toasted, Li Cunzhi took it and began to turn the table to toast one by one.

In fact, this ceremony contains two contents: one is the wine that Li Cunzhi thanked Jing Laiguan, and the other is the engagement wine that Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen. As the head of the family, he naturally led the introduction one by one.

Therefore, because there are many and complicated things to speak, they turn tables very slowly, and each table is entangled by the guests for a long time.

More than half an hour passed, and they only left five tables toast, which was half, but they were filled with a lot of wine.

Although it is rice wine, after walking down this table, it is at least seven or eight cups of wine.

In the late Qing Dynasty, this blue and white porcelain wine cup can be filled with about half a tael of wine, and there must be four taels of wine at this table.

Chen Tianhua took a look and said that if he walked down the ten tables, he would only have four or five kilograms of wine. This did not count the calculations of Li Pinzhang and others.

It seems that I have to be drunk today.

Alas... just get drunk, it’s rare to get drunk in life.

At this time, a young man wearing a white cloth shirt and a chef's hat came in at the door. He looked like a chef.

He came in with a small four-wheeler. There were ten freshly baked roast ducks on the car. They were yellow and fragrant, obviously one per table.

Mr. Ding said to everyone: "This is the last dish of today's banquet. Quanjude Roast Duck Hangzhou Hanji Branch mainly performs the skills of cutting duck slices for everyone on the spot."

After this explanation, everyone focused their attention on this kind young chef.

But the young chef bowed deeply to everyone, then held a roast duck with a roasted skin that was so thick that the flesh was tender, fat but not greasy, and delicious, in his left hand, and picked up a thin small kitchen knife with a palm-wide palm in his right hand, and began to slice it on the spot.

The duck slices fell into several meal plates in front of them like snowflakes. The maids next to them delivered the chopped meal plates to each table of guests. The ingredients such as scallion sauce, cucumber shredded noodles, etc. had already been placed in place.

The roast duck hit the table and robbed it.

The chef's location is just in the center of the hall, and it is also relatively spacious, making it easier for maids and maids to deliver plates.

His technique was obviously very skillful. The knife was clean and neat and the duck meat was cut evenly and neatly. This skillful and unique skill attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Li Cunzhi took Chen Tianhua, Li Shuzhen and the others in the center, very close to the roast duck truck.

When everyone was experiencing the turbulent momentum, no one could see clearly under the dim light. What was going on?

The knife in the chef's right hand flew straight towards Li Cunzhi's neck.

Li Cunzhi was already drunk for half a time, and the speed of the knife could not allow him to react or dodge.

This was beyond everyone's surprise. The soldiers sitting on the tables around had no time to react. There was only one more sober officer who led the officer. He instinctively shouted:

"What's going on?"

Before his words could be finished, at the critical moment, Chen Tianhua, who was standing beside Li Cunzhi, was toasting together, was quick-witted.

I saw him swing his wrist and the wine cup with internal strength flew up.

A crisp sound was heard.

The wine cup filled with wine and the thin knife that also flew in, collided in the air. The wine cup was smashed to pieces and the wine splashed everywhere.

And the fatal thin knife was shot down at the round table.

"There are assassins..."

"Ah, help..."

“…”

In an instant, the hall became in chaos... The female guests screamed, the tables overturned the dishes and smashed the bowls... resounded throughout the hall.

Seeing that the assassin failed to do one move, he took out a revolver from his arms and aimed at Li Cunzhi's direction with both hands.

"Fast go..."

Chen Tianhua, who was completely awakened, knocked down Li Cunzhi and rushed towards the assassin.

A gunshot was heard.

The panicked assassin fired a shot, and the bullet hit Chen Tianhua's right shoulder with the outer part of his right shoulder. He suddenly felt a burst of burning pain.

But his professional qualities made Chen Tianhua ignore his injuries and rush to the assassin to subdue him.

"ah…"

Without allowing the assassin to pull out the second bullet, Chen Tianhua had already twisted his right wrist and the pistol landed on the ground.

Then, Chen Tianhua flew outward and said, "Click..." and the assassin was hit hard to the ground, his eyes rising and his body could not move.

"Catch the assassin!"

At this time, Sun Yong, who helped Li Cunzhi hold the wine plate, then realized that he shouted at the top of his throat, then threw off the plate and rushed towards the assassin.

Several officers on the table around them came forward one after another and pressed the assassins who were fainting to the ground firmly to the ground.

At this time, the guards who were drinking in the yards on the left and right sides woke up from their dreams. They all rushed to the hall with their guns to protect their respective adults.

When everyone calmed down a little, the main hall was already in chaos.

Several female members were curled up under the round table, several round tables were overturned aside, and the ground was filled with cups and plates, and several guards were holding guns around the round table.

Li Cunzhi, who was knocked to the ground by Chen Tianhua, sat up from the oily ground in shock.

Li Shuzhen, who was so scared that her face was pale, was trembling all over her body, threw herself into his arms, and cried and screamed, "Dad..."

Chen Tianhua had already walked to them and hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay...it's okay, the assassin was caught."

At this time, Li Cunzhi's guard commander Ding Jiu rushed in with several guards and surrounded them.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, send someone to search inside and outside the mansion to see if there are any assassins." At this time, Li Cunzhi had calmed down. After scanning the hall, he ordered his subordinates: "Go and count if anyone is injured."

"yes…"

Now it starts to become a little orderly.

"Ah... Huazhi... you are injured." At this time, Li Shuzhen made a hoarse crying sound.

Only then did everyone realize that Chen Tianhua's right shoulder was covered in blood, and a gun hole was lying out of blood.

Chen Tianhua comforted: "I'm fine, a little bit of injury."

Li Shuzhen trembled, "I said it was okay, he was covered in blood, Dad..."

"Fortunately, I didn't hurt the vitals. Come and take my third aunt to the hospital." Li Cunzhi glanced at Chen Tianhua's injuries, and his heart was relieved when he reached his throat.

Sun Yong came over, and he squatted down without saying a word, "Hurry up... help."

"No... I can leave by myself." Chen Tianhua refused. He stood up and walked out with Sun Yong.

When they arrived at a carriage outside the door, the two got into the carriage, and Sun Yong said to the groom:

"Hurry, go to Guangji Hospital..."

The carriage ran out quickly.
Chapter completed!
