Chapter 290 The wine was poisoned.
Yun Qingqing said, "He is not a good person; he has many lives on his hands."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chengying raised an eyebrow and asked Yun Qingqing curiously, "Abao, how did you tell that he has many lives on his hands?"
Yun Qingqing said, "His appearance is not good."
Just then, Wan Shan walked to the high platform in front of the main seat, cleared his throat, and the noisy voices in the hall quickly quieted down.
He said in a loud voice, "Heroes, friends and brothers, your gathering at my Wan'an Manor today is a great honor for me, Wan. I am extremely grateful."
"Tonight, everyone must drink to their heart's content and not leave until they're completely drunk. If you need anything, just let us know. Make sure you eat and drink well."
A chorus of cheers and agreement immediately filled the hall, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Just then, a burly man stood up and shouted loudly at Wan Shan on the stage, "Master Wan, do you really have a treasure map? Will the winner of tomorrow's martial arts competition really get this map?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Shan smiled and said, "I never lie. I have prepared the treasure map. Whoever wins the arena tomorrow will get the treasure map."
As soon as Wan Shan finished speaking, loud cheers erupted in the hall.
"Master Wan is truly righteous."
"Master Wan is indeed a great man, just as the rumors in the martial arts world say."
Hearing the praise from everyone, Wan Shan smiled modestly and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You flatter me. I only wish to share wealth and honor with heroes from all over the world. Please continue."
As his gaze swept over the faces below the stage, faces flushed with greed and excitement, a sinister glint flashed deep within his eyes.
Feel happy now, but you won't be laughing in a minute.
Wan Shan clapped his hands with a smile and called out, "Someone, bring the dishes."
The servants waiting outside immediately began serving dishes in a continuous stream, and soon every table was filled with food and wine.
Qiu Tian was a connoisseur of wine. As soon as all the dishes were served, he couldn't wait to break the clay seal on the wine jar in front of him, took a deep breath, and immediately showed an intoxicated expression on his face: "Tsk, good wine. Master Wan is really generous, willing to treat us to such good wine."
As Qiu Tian spoke, he picked up the wine jar and enthusiastically poured wine for Gu Ye and the others: "Come, come, Brother Gu, Brother Gu and all my friends, please try this good wine."
Gu Ye picked up his wine glass, ready to drink.
"Don't drink it, there's something wrong with this wine," Xu Ji stopped him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye immediately stopped, put the wine glass back on the table, and looked at Xu Ji: "Brother Xu, is there something wrong with this wine?"
Xu Ji said, "This wine has been poisoned."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tian hurriedly said, "Young Master Xu, you must be mistaken. How could Master Wan poison the wine he's serving everyone?"
Xu Ji affirmed, "I'm not mistaken, this wine has indeed been poisoned."
Gu Ye chimed in, "Brother Qiu, Brother Xu wouldn't be mistaken. If he says it's poisonous, then it's definitely poisonous. We'd better not touch this wine."
Qiu Tian looked at Xu Ji, who had a confident look on his face, and then at Gu Ye, who had a serious expression. He said, "Fine, I trust you. I won't drink this wine."
Just then, Wan Shan raised his wine glass from the head seat and said loudly, "Gentlemen, the food and wine are ready. Tonight is a fine night, so let's all drink to our hearts' content and not leave until we're drunk."
"To the owner of the village."
"We won't leave until we're drunk."
……
A chorus of agreement arose, and everyone raised their glasses to drink.
Seeing that everyone was about to drink the spiked wine, Yun Chengying stood up to stop them.
Seeing this, Yun Chengxiao grabbed his wrist: "Sit down, don't be impulsive, assess the situation first. They won't believe you even if you try to stop them."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chengying suppressed his impulse and sat down, picking up his chopsticks to eat.
Xu Ji spoke up to stop them: "Don't touch this food, there's something wrong with it."
