Protector Wu? !
Although Jingzhe Villa is the master of the Five Poison Society, it has a detached attitude over the Five Poison Society organizations. It does not have many manpower. The strongest people here, besides the owner of the village, are the eight guardians directly under it.
These eight people are all powerful Sanren. Although he is not a Martial Master who has condensed Tiangang, he is still enough to dominate the world, and is even more powerful than Black Widow and other leaders of the division.
Among these eight guardians, Tang Zhao saw four when he first went up the mountain. Now one is dead and there are three left. The remaining four have been guarding all directions of the villa and cannot hide. It is said that these four hidden protectors are stronger than the other three except protector Mi.
Now, one of the "hidden" protectors, the Wu protectors, fell in the dark forest at night, and his death was horrific.
Of course, this terrible tragedy may have been caused by Meng Huazhou's thunder.
When Meng Huazhou saw that it was one of his own who died, the hair on his hair exploded. He took out his long sword, and an extremely bright sword light exploded and rose upwards. This was a sword-control technique called "Sword Light Flash", which erupted into a powerful light, specially used for illumination. .
The sword light was like a huge lamp, lasting for a long time, illuminating the surroundings clearly.
The woods were covered with stumps and scorch marks, all traces left by the spring thunder. Apart from that, only the faint splatter of blood could be seen under the big tree that was struck by thunder.
Apart from that, there is no one else.
There was no other smell or sound even in the wind blowing in my face.
Meng Huazhou listened carefully and could not hear other noises. Knowing that there was no one in the wilderness, he gasped: "Who, who killed the protector?"
From the only clues, everyone had a guess: this protector should have been killed long ago. What Tang Zhao saw just now was just a corpse. Meng Huazhou struck hard and quickly, and without any explanation, a bolt of lightning passed by and lifted his body up.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the protector was not dead at that time, but was controlled, and died after Meng Huazhou took action. It was Meng Huazhou who killed it with his own hands. Naturally, he refused to admit it, and no one else would remind him of the possibility.
As for who killed him, I can't tell. But obviously - a foreign enemy has invaded!
Just tonight!
Black Widow also felt a sense of fear in her heart, but then she thought to herself: If outsiders invaded, wouldn't the water become muddier? We are fishing in troubled waters. It seems that Jingzhe Villa is not an iron bucket, and it can still make people climb up the mountain calmly.
Even Xu Si Yao thought that he could escape if there was an opportunity.
When Meng Huazhou was suspicious and everyone had their own suspicions, they saw firelight outside the woods.
Meng Huazhou shouted: "Who?"
The person on the other side shouted: "Young Master?"
Meng Huazhou heard the familiar voice, felt relieved and said, "Senior Brother Li? Come here." This is one of his own.
I saw a group of five disciples in black running over holding torches. The leader was a young man in his twenties, followed by Zhuang Ding. When he came closer and didn't salute, he saw the cruel scene here and couldn't help but be horrified and said : "This, this is..."
Although Meng Huazhou called the other party senior brother, he really did not regard him as a senior brother. He did not answer and asked: "Why are you here?"
Senior Brother Li trembled and said: "We...we were patrolling at night, and we heard the sound of thunder here, like an earthquake. We were startled, and then the sword light rose up, and the whole villa saw it. The protector quickly asked a few of us to come and see what was going on..."
Meng Huazhou suddenly said: "Wait a minute - which protector?"
Senior Brother Li said: "Dragon Protector Wu, he is the foreman on duty tonight."
Meng Huazhou felt a chill and said, "Why...when did he call you here?"
Senior Brother Li said: "Just now, just outside. He asked us to come first, and he was waiting behind..."
Meng Huazhou gritted his teeth and said: "Martial Protector, are you talking about this Martial Protector——"
As he spoke, he lifted the head up in his hand and thrust it directly in front of Senior Brother Li's eyes.
Senior Brother Li stared, screamed, and stepped back, shouting: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost! Ah - the evil spirits have dispersed!"
Meng Huazhou ignored this useless thing and said word by word: "There is a thief! The thief killed Protector Wu and pretended to be him and sneaked into Zhuangzi. Chase him!"
The villagers agreed, turned around instinctively, and then hesitated a little. On the one hand, they didn't know where to chase him, and on the other hand, they felt vaguely that chasing him would mean risking their own death.
That was the person who killed Protector Wu without saying a word, and waited for others to chase him. Isn't that a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
At this time, Black Widow took a step forward and advised: "Young Villa Master, that's all. Go and protect the old Villa Master first!"
Meng Huazhou suddenly realized and said: "Yes, come with me -" He kicked the lost Senior Brother Li and said: "Go and call other protectors. Everyone should gather at Thunder Court."
Senior Brother Li got up in panic and almost fell down again. Tang Zhao helped him.
Meng Huazhou was pounding in his heart, and unlike before, he and Black Widow and the others were not giving in to each other, and ran towards the center of the villa like a gust of wind. A bunch of people, Wuyang Wuyang, followed behind.
At this time, more and more people were alarmed. The guardians and disciples at Jingzhe Villa were stunned for a moment when they saw this team. Then they felt relieved when they saw Meng Huazhou, and they all approached to greet them.
Meng Huazhou shouted to them to join the team. After a while, nearly a hundred people had gathered in the team. The team moved forward in the dark night. Many people in the team held torches, like a fire dragon.
Not long after, everyone rushed outside the Ting Lei Courtyard in the middle.
Tinglei Courtyard is a separate courtyard with a wall about ten feet high and is heavily guarded. It is the fortress in the middle of the villa.
When Meng Huazhou arrived at the door, he saw that the guards were all in place and he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the door opened, and a burly man came out with two swords stuck in his waist. It was the "Double Sword Tai Sui" Protector Huang who was guarding the villa.
When Huang Hufa saw such a momentum, Meng Huazhou stood in the middle like a star holding the moon, and he was startled. A thought flashed in his mind: The eldest young master has brought people to force him to the palace?
This is not his random imagination. You must know that the father and son of the village have had conflicts for a long time. Huang Hufa has seen the two of them arguing and almost using swords. Meng Huazhou ran away from home and did not take care of his bedridden father at all. Meng Tiansheng deliberately bewitched him in advance. Fight and destroy Meng Huazhou's plan.
Meng Huazhou, the eldest young master, is an impulsive and rebellious person. Could it be that when he retreated, he became more and more angry and took advantage of the darkness to lead others to force his father to abdicate?
Thinking of this, Protector Huang became a little more wary and said, "Young Master, what do you want to do by bringing so many people here?"
The change in his expression was noticed by Meng Huazhou, who immediately became suspicious.
You know, Protector Wu was killed just now and was replaced by an outsider. The whereabouts of the replacement are still unknown. How do you know that this person is not a fake? Otherwise, why would he be so wary when he saw his dignified young master?
Meng Huazhou said: "Huang Protector, are you Huang Protector?"
Protector Huang said in shock: "What?"
Meng Huazhou couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment, so he shouted: "Get out of the way, I want to see my father!"
Seeing that he was so eager, Protector Huang became more and more suspicious - after all, if the rule of Jingzhe Villa is that after the death of the father, the son succeeds, and Meng Huazhou is the logical successor, he is not so entangled, and he can even go along with the situation and let their father and son end it. , sold well to the new owner, but the problem is that Meng Huazhou is not.
Meng Huazhou is not the heir, nor is he his new boss in the future. He is only loyal to the old villa owner and has no obligations to the young villa owner. Therefore, the guardian looked more serious and said: "Please be patient, young villa owner. The old villa owner just Go to sleep, out of filial piety, you shouldn’t disturb me at this time, right?”
Meng Huazhou was furious and wanted to strike with his sword, but he didn't want to repeat the tragedy of recklessness. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the face of Protector Huang and said, "Tell me who you are!"
His original intention was to tear him apart and see if Protector Huang was pretending, but Protector Huang thought he was suddenly attacking, stretched out his hand to block, and shouted: "Young master, don't make a mistake!"
The two of them started fighting in front of everyone. Although they restrained themselves from using their weapons, the more they restrained themselves, the more ugly the fight became.
Black Widow watched coldly, feeling amused, and was ready to get involved, but knowing that she was not strong enough, she moved her eyes to see if Tang Zhao had any plans to do something in the chaos.
After looking like this, she couldn't find Tang Zhao's figure. She was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Tang Zhao's figure outside the crowd. Tang Zhao watched the farce calmly, too calmly, with his arms folded, without any intention of intervening.
Black Widow could only watch indifferently for a while, and suddenly thought to herself: "What was he doing at the outskirts? When did he get there? Did he want to sneak away to do something when no one was prepared? Was he going to kill the old man like he said? ?Wouldn’t it be too risky to have so many people?”
However, the two of them were too far away, and it was inconvenient for Black Widow to ask, but she always trusted Tang Zhao and thought that Tang Zhao might have a good idea.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the door creak open, and a disciple came out and said, "Young Master, Old Master, please come in."
Protector Huang was startled, but Meng Huazhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, is it still safe?"
The disciple whispered: "The old village master is naturally safe."
Meng Huazhou nodded and was about to greet everyone when the disciple asked again: "Young master, please go in alone."
Meng Huazhou paused, and Black Widow's eyes flashed. She stepped forward at the right time and said, "Young Master, be careful."
Although Meng Huazhou knew in his heart that the Black Widow was not a good person, and his provocative words were clearly unkind, but these words really hit his heart, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
He turned around and asked the disciple, "How many people are there waiting inside?"
The disciple replied: "There are about ten people."
Meng Huazhou said: "You ask them all to come out and wait outside. No one is allowed inside. I will go to see my father alone, and our father and son will meet one-on-one."
The disciple suddenly couldn't help laughing, and then he quickly stopped and bowed: "Young Master, the Master just gave the same order. No one is allowed in the courtyard except you."
After he said that, he opened the door, and about ten people filed out, including village servants and maids. Many of the people who used to serve the old village owner were all kicked out and stood aside with their hands tied. Through the gate, you can see that the yard is empty. There is really no one left.
People outside looked at each other, confused. Meng Huazhou pondered for a moment and finally said: "Okay, this is the old man's style. I will go in alone and see what he has to say."
