The strongest city king in history

Chapter 225 Engagement Storm
"I came to the imperial capital this time, but I actually have my own mission." Li Liyan directly stated his purpose of coming.

"What task? Does it have something to do with tomorrow's engagement?" Zhao Shiqi felt a little uneasy and apprehensive, and seemed to be looking forward to it.

"I can't tell you now, but it may cause trouble in your engagement ceremony. I'm really sorry."

"No, you must make a big fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better. I don't want to get engaged to that Xia Zheng at all!" Zhao Shiqi's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something, she showed a happy smile.

"Then tomorrow, I'll leave it to you."

"It's okay, just pretend to be a relative of our family. However, you have to be careful, the Xia family is not easy to deal with." Zhao Shiqi did not forget to worry about Li Liyan's safety.

"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know my skills." Li Liyan waved his hand.

The atmosphere seemed to melt again all of a sudden, and both of them became more relaxed.

"Li Liyan, let's go! I'll take you there to play!" Zhao Shiqi stretched her body, showing her perfect curves.

"Let's go!" Li Liyan also felt relieved.

On the lake in the distance, sparkling, white clouds reflected in the emerald green lake.

spring is coming.

Everything is green.

. . .

the next day.

In a manor under the Fragrant Hills of the imperial capital.

There is a lot of people today, and those who come and go are all powerful figures from the big family of the imperial capital.

All first class families are here.

There were countless bodyguards in black guarding outside the manor, closely examining the guests who came to the engagement ceremony.

Luxury cars drove slowly into the manor, and the bodyguards at the first gate checked them according to their license plate numbers.Vehicles that are no longer registered cannot enter.

The second step is to check the invitations of the guests. Without invitations, even famous people in the empire cannot enter.For the Xia family, these so-called famous and powerful figures are not worth mentioning at all.It also shows from the side that the power of the Xia family is overwhelming.

Xia Zheng is very happy today. Zhao Shiqi, the daughter of the Zhao family, has seen her before, she is indeed very beautiful, and since elementary school, she has never participated in the gatherings of some dudes, just like a blank sheet of paper.

Xia Zheng was undoubtedly very satisfied.

Standing beside Xia Zheng was a white man holding red wine, "Mr. Xia, your fiancée is very beautiful, congratulations."

"Mr. Andre, thank you."

Xia Zheng brought Andre here in order to show off his own strength in front of many big families, and at the same time use the Xia family's power to demonstrate.

It is almost conceivable that today I will receive countless envious and jealous eyes.

Not only is he about to get a beautiful wife, but he will also show his abilities, as evidenced by Andre's standing on his side.

After exchanging pleasantries with the elders of several big families who came here.

Xia Zheng avoided the crowd and walked to a table next to the venue.

A middle-aged man with short gray hair was sitting on a chair, holding a brown teacup and sipping it carefully, indulging in the fragrance of the tea.

Xia Zheng put away the smile all over his face, and his face became serious. "Mr. A, I'm counting on you today." After finishing speaking, Xia Zheng bowed slightly.

Mr. A's closed eyes opened a little, and he nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Seeing Mr. A's expression, Xia Zheng bowed slightly again, "Then Mr. A, I will trouble you."

After finishing speaking, he strode away again and went to the square to receive guests.

. . . .

"Now that the Zhao family is about to wake up, the old ghost of the Zhao family will really seize the opportunity." A potbellied middle-aged man said with a sneer while playing with the wine glass in his hand.

"Hmph, Old Ghost Zhao is not ashamed about selling his daughter!" A member of another family shook his head disapprovingly after hearing this.

"That's not necessarily true. Xia Zheng's status in the Xia family is average, and Old Ghost Zhao's good plan will probably come to nothing. Maybe he will be annexed by the Xia family in the end."

"Wealth and wealth come from danger, seeking skin from tigers, that's how great wealth comes from." The middle-aged man said with a smile, not paying attention.

Time passed slowly, and it was 12 o'clock in the blink of an eye.

A handsome host came to the stage in the square.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the engagement ceremony of Mr. Xia Zheng and Ms. Zhao Shiqi."

Enthusiastic applause began to ring out.

The host didn't talk much, and on this occasion, it was naturally impossible to play around like ordinary people's engagement ceremonies.

Every guest who came to participate in the ceremony has a lot of background, and every move will trigger countless speculations from others.

After the host finished speaking, Xia Zheng turned off the microphone.

Xia Zheng, who was well-trimmed and well-groomed, looked high-spirited, "Thank you everyone for coming to Xia Zheng's engagement ceremony in spite of your busy schedule. Before that, I would like to thank Master Ning Yu from the Ning family."

Ning Yu, still wearing round glasses, nodded to Xia Zheng.

In this way, Xia Zheng mentioned several important figures one by one, and expressed his gratitude among them.

Finally, just when everyone thought the introduction was over.

"Finally, I would also like to thank Mr. Andre for coming all the way to attend my engagement ceremony."

At this time, everyone looked at Andre in the audience.

For a while, the quiet audience began to whisper.

"What does this Xia family boy mean?"

"Hmph, are you starting to overwhelm people?"

"Is this slapping us in the face in public? You really don't know what to do, do you really think that the Xia family can cover the sky with one hand?"

However, discussion is discussion, but no one said anything.

After the sparse applause.

Xia Zheng handed the microphone to the host.

The process continues.

Zhao Shiqi wore a noble and elegant cheongsam, and she was shining brightly as soon as she appeared on the stage. The young people in the audience couldn't help feeling jealous of Xia Zheng in their hearts.

Looking at Zhao Shiqi, Xia Zheng felt even more elated. He already possessed power and beauty.

Life is really wonderful.

At this moment, the mutation occurred!
Andre cursed loudly.Only then did everyone realize that a young man in formal attire was standing beside Andre.

And Andre had a dagger sticking out of his left chest, and the grass under the chair had been soaked in blood.

The whole meeting hall became chaotic in an instant.

Zhao Shiqi's father almost fainted, because he knew that the killer was brought in by his daughter, if the Xia family wanted to settle accounts after Qiu Hou, the Zhao family would never escape!
Xia Zheng watched Andre fall slowly, and his whole brain went blank for a second.

what happened?

Andre is dead?
Andre is dead!
Xia Zheng was about to burst into tears, and roared, "Catch him! I will wipe out the whole family of those behind the scenes!"

When the cruel and cold words came, all the guests in the venue frowned.

Countless bodyguards in black all surrounded Li Liyan.

Li Liyan raised his head and smiled at Xia Zheng, "Thank you, Young Master Xia, if you didn't specifically mention Andre, I wouldn't know who Andre is?"

Xia Zheng looked at Li Liyan, feeling a little familiar, as if he had seen him there before.

At this time, the bodyguards in black had rushed towards Li Liyan one after another, and the guests had already left the battlefield slowly under the protection of their personal bodyguards.

Zhao Shiqi also retreated under the protection of bodyguards, really anxious and restless.

Can Li Liyan escape?
