Chapter 659 A Bloodstained Feast

"Cough cough cough..." Wang Xianda coughed a few times, stood up, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile, "Today is my birthday. I would like to thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday. I would like to toast you all."

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The guests raised their glasses, ready to drink, when suddenly there was a loud "bang!" A dish on Wang Xianda's table exploded, sending the guests at the main table flying.

"Buzz..." The guests at the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Someone! Someone! There's an assassin!"

"Quick, quick, save them!"

"Help! Killer!"

Wang Wenzhou's expression changed, and he stood up, shouting, "Everyone, don't panic! Jian Fengyu, immediately lead men to seal off the Xinjian Marquis's residence!"

"Slap! Slap!" Lin Qing drew his sword and slapped the face of a guest beside him, laughing loudly, "Lord Wang is right! Don't panic, everyone. I've come to celebrate the birthday of the Earl of Xinjian, intending to send his entire family to meet the King of Hell. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I have no grudge against any of you, and I certainly won't harm you!"

"Who are you?" The guest whose face Lin Qing had slapped was also a nobleman. He glared at Lin Qing angrily and asked in a cold voice.

"I'm your grandpa!" Lin Qing had barely finished speaking when he chopped off the man's head with his sword.

"Ah! Help!"

"Killed!"

"Where are the guards? Where have they all gone?"

The guests were all stunned. Although the explosion was loud, no one was killed. Now, Lin Qing had chopped off that person's head in front of everyone. For those who had never been on the battlefield, the visual impact was simply too great.

At this moment, Lin Qing's henchmen rushed out and took control of the scene. All the entrances and exits of the banquet venue were now under the control of Lin Qing's henchmen.

"Shut the hell up! Anyone who makes another sound, don't blame me for killing them!" Lin Qing said viciously.

In an instant, the guests were so frightened that they all fell silent.

Wang Wenzhou broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn't expect that Lin Qing, that bastard, was still alive and would even appear here.

Lin Qing bowed to Wang Wenzhou and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Hmph!" Wang Wenzhou snorted coldly, and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Lin, you were right just now. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I killed your father and your grandfather! Today, I'm returning your life! I beg you to spare the guests present, and my babies!"

"Husband, hurry! I'll fight my way out for you!" Zhang Jiaobao quickly grabbed Wang Wenzhou's hand, trying to help him break through the encirclement.

"Jiaojiao is so good!" Wang Wenzhou hugged Zhang Jiao and kissed her, then said with a wry smile, "Jiaojiao, things are different now. I can't run away now! I still have the little flowers to look after!"

Zhang Jiao tilted her head and saw that the little flowers were all being held in the arms of Lin Qing's assassins. The children were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they kept crying.

"Waaah..." Zhang Sanhua cried even harder when she saw her mother looking at her!

Zhang Jiao felt a sudden, excruciating pain in her heart. She pointed at Lin Qing and shouted angrily, "Release my son right now!"

Lin Qing nodded to Zhang Jiao and said with a smile, "Zhang Jiao, it's been a long time! You can't blame me for what happened today; you can only blame your good husband!"

Lin Qing pointed at Wang Wenzhou's babies and ordered, "Guards, arrest all of Madam Wang's children!"

Wang Wenzhou hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, I beg you! Don't hurt my baby and my son! You just want revenge, right? I'll give you my life back right now!"

After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he picked up a plate, smashed it on the table, and pointed the broken pieces at his throat, intending to commit suicide.

"Wait! Lord Wang, don't be impulsive! If you die now, I'll be very unhappy!" Lin Qing said coldly, "If you dare to die, I will not only kill all your sons, but also gang rape your wives and concubines!"

Wang Wenzhou hurriedly threw away the broken porcelain shards and pleaded desperately, "Brother Lin! Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, why go to such lengths? I'm begging you! Spare my babies and my children!"

After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. In a short while, blood appeared on his forehead.

There's no way around it; everyone has their Achilles' heel. For Wang Wenzhou, the babies are his Achilles' heel.

"Haha!" Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Lord Wang, did you spare my father that day?" Lin Qing pointed at Wang Wenzhou's babies and ordered, "Arrest all his wives and concubines!"

The assassins rushed forward and restrained Wang Wenzhou's babies.

Liu Rushi, Sheng Lan, Zhang Jiao, Wang Ying, Liu Li, Li Mei, Li Ling, Dani Lis, Li Xiangjun, and Dong Xiaowan—the babies all surrendered without resistance.

There was nothing they could do. Although Zhang Jiao, Wang Ying, and Li Mei had all practiced martial arts, especially Zhang Jiao, whose fighting ability was quite strong, the girls had all been captured, so they dared not resist.

"Bang bang bang..." Wang Wenzhou kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Brother Lin, I beg you!"

"Lord Wang, don't be like this! Don't be in such a hurry, I'll go kill your father first!" After saying that, Lin Qing walked up to Wang Xianda with his sword in hand.

Wang Xianda was caught in the blast wave and was lying on the ground with his face covered in blood.

"Wait! Hero, I have a few words to say!" Wang Xianda looked at Wang Wenzhou and said coldly, "Boxin, if you are lucky enough to survive today, remember not to seek revenge! You must be loyal to the emperor and love your country!"

Wang Xianda said this because he believed that Zhu Youjian was behind it. Although Wang Xianda did not know Lin Qing, he recognized him. After a moment's thought, he remembered that Lin Qing was Wang Qiang's servant.

Aside from his own servants, Wang Qiang's men were all sent by Zhu Youjian to deliver birthday gifts. Moreover, Lin Qing's assassins were highly trained; regardless of whether their operation succeeded or failed, none of them would survive.

Although the birthday banquet was controlled by assassins, this was Nanjing, the newly established Marquis's residence. The guests present were either nobles or high-ranking officials, each accompanied by bodyguards. Even without knowing the gravity of the situation, the Nanjing army would have undoubtedly surrounded the Marquis's residence. The guests' guards and servants alone had already completely surrounded the mansion.

“Boxin! Did you hear that?” Wang Xianda looked at Wang Wenzhou.

Wang Wenzhou said with a bitter smile, "Father, don't be silly! Your son won't live today either!"

“Boxin, have I ever begged you in all your life? This is my only wish before I die, and you won’t even grant it?” Wang Xianda pleaded desperately.

Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly, "Fine! Your son agrees!"

Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Is the old man finished speaking?"

“Yes!” Wang Xianda nodded.

"Pfft!" Lin Qing swung his sword and chopped off Wang Xianda's head.

Wang Wenzhou stopped kowtowing. He stood up, looked at Lin Qing, and solemnly said, "Lin Qing, our grudges end here today! You've killed my father, and then you've killed me. Can you spare my babies?"
