Gu Xiao took the small bag, bowed his fist to the steward, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will arrive on time."
After saying that, he bowed to Fang Yuehua and Jin Buyi, who were staring at him intensely, then turned around and walked into the crowd, leaving the door of the He family mansion.
Jin Buyi looked at the back of the young man with the woman in white clothes wearing a curtain as he left. He thought for a moment, then turned to a man in brocade clothes beside him and said, "Brother Bu, I would like to trouble you to take a trip. Follow that young man and take a look." What is his origin?"
The man who was called 'Brother Bu' by Jin Buyi was staring intently, enjoying the rare sunshine in winter. When he heard Jin Buyi calling him, he opened his eyes and said lazily: "Brother Jin is just an ordinary young man in the mountains. , it’s so strange that our big brother needs to pay so much attention to it.”
Jin Buyi shook his head slightly and said: "This young man is by no means an ordinary wanderer. Among all the brothers, you are the one with the best legs. Please run for me."
"Hey, Brother Bu is so arrogant that even if Brother Jin asks for anything, he won't give him face." Xiao Yanluo's sinister tone reached everyone's ears.
When the man surnamed Bu heard this, he didn't care about Xiao Yan Luo's instigating words. Instead, he stretched his body and replied lazily: "Okay, since it's Brother Jin's order, how can we not listen? I'll go right away." Brother Jin, just rest assured. When the younger brother finds out the truth, I will come back to you."
Seeing that the man surnamed Bu had not spoken to him, Goatee laughed at Yan Luo, and took the opportunity to sneer: "Brother Bu, be careful in everything. We brothers are in the same spirit. If you need help, just ask, and don't move because of some villain's instigating words." Anger."
Before Jin Buyi and the man named Bu could speak, Xiaoyan Luo jumped up and said, "Who do you think is a villain?"
Goatee sneered: "I'm not talking about anyone, I'm just talking about things that are neither male nor female."
With a "click", the chair under Xiaoyan Luo immediately fell into pieces. Xiaoyan Luo smiled secretly and said: "Okay, then I will learn from the Thousand-Armed Tathagata's clever tricks."
Goatee did not show weakness. He turned his slender palm over, and two silver darts more than an inch long appeared in his palm. The tip of the silver dart was shining with emerald green. It was clear at a glance that the tip of the dart was tempered. poison.
At this time, Fang Yuehua also returned from the steward to where the Jinyi man was. Seeing that Goatee and Xiao Yanluo were choking each other again, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to make peace.
The man surnamed Bu, on the other hand, had an indifferent face and lazy eyes, looking at a few people. Although he was too lazy to pay attention to the bickering between his goatee and Xiaoyan Luo, he kept looking at the young man walking to the corner of the street with his peripheral vision, wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing the quarrel between the two getting more intense, Fang Yuehua couldn't stop the two who were about to take action, so Jin Buyi shouted angrily: "That's enough."
Goatee and Xiaoyan Luo heard Jin Buyi's anger and knew what would happen if they angered the long-famous Jin Daxia. They consciously shut up and said no more.
Seeing that the two were no longer fighting, Jin Buyi's expression softened slightly and he said to the man surnamed Bu: "Brother Bu, go ahead, and the woman in white who was with the young man, check it out and come back and report back to me.
The man surnamed Bu nodded slightly, put away his lazy expression, took off his brocade robe, revealing the ordinary people's clothes underneath, and then walked into the crowd of spectators.
Jin Buyi's eyes followed the figure of the man surnamed Bu as he disappeared into the crowd. He slowly raised his head and looked outside Zang Beicheng, in the direction of the He family's villa.
At this moment, in the He family's villa, a slender-looking old man, leaning on a tiger-headed golden staff, was sitting in the main hall, surrounded by two burly men, receiving three men.
The three of them were all dressed as escorts. The leader was a big man with a round face, a fat belly and a round waist. His bodyguard's shirt was almost bursting because of his round belly, and behind him stood a man. A young escort holding a wooden box in his hand, and an older escort holding a escort flag.
The three of them were standing respectfully at the foot of the hall, saluting the old man holding a golden staff in the hall.
The big man with a round face cupped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "The ancestor of the He family is here. Chen Dongzhi of the Fuyuan Escort Bureau, together with the escort Tan Wu and the escort Zhan Xiang, pay their respects to the ancestor."
The ancestor of the He family, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, looked wrinkled and aged from a distance, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his turbid eyes.
When Chen Dongzhi took one look at him, he felt that he had been seen through by this ancestor. The palms of his saluting palms could not help but sweat slightly. He wiped the sweat from his palms on his sleeves with a little embarrassment. Chen Dongzhi glanced at the ancestor of the He family uneasily. Two burly men beside them.
There is a person on the left hand side of the ancestor of the He family. He is dressed in rich clothes and robes. He has a square mouth and a broad nose. He is not angry and has no authority. He is the eldest son of the three sons of the ancestor of the He family. He is now the head of the He family, He Kui.
The man on the right is wearing the same splendid clothes, but he has eagle eyes and a flat nose, which is intimidating. Although his appearance is very different, he is also very strong and powerful. He is the youngest son of the ancestor of the He family, He Ji.
The appearance of these two brothers is so different that they hardly look like gentle brothers, but they are both the sons of the ancestors of the He family.
It has to be said that the He family's status in Zangbeicheng is inseparable from the courtesy of the He family. However, it was said that the little escort agency came, but the He family ancestor was treated very politely. The He family ancestor managed to get up and went to the He family. With the support of his two sons, he slowly walked down the steps.
Chen Dongzhi approached Chen Dongzhi, looked at the round-faced man from the Fuyuan Escort Agency, and then slowly said: "Fuyuan Escort Agency, if I remember correctly, it is run by that naughty boy from the west of the city. I think When I first arrived in Zangbei with my three sons, I met Xiong Xiaozi several times, and we haven't seen each other for several years since then."
"To tell you my ancestors, we are indeed Mr. Xiong's subordinates." Chen Dongzhi answered truthfully.
The ancestor of the He family hunched over, looked at Lao Zhan and Tan Wu behind Chen Dongzhi, and then asked: "Why did you come here?"
"I took the liberty of visiting today because someone came to the escort office to escort the escort, and the person receiving the goods is you, ancestor." Chen Dongzhi respectfully replied to the ancestor of the He family.
"Oh? From the west of the city to my He family's mansion, it only takes a few hours. Even if you get from the He family's mansion to my villa, it only takes half a day. Who is the employer? He wants to hire a bodyguard to escort the bodyguard here?" Zu leaned on crutches and walked around Chen Dongzhi and the others, and slowly spoke as they walked.
Although the tone was gentle, it made Chen Dongzhi feel oppressed. It is no wonder that the ancestor of the He family suspected that even if it was a valuable item, it did not need an escort to transport it, and it was just an inconspicuous square wooden box.
As he spoke, he motioned to the He Kui brothers and took the wooden box from Tan Wu's hand. The ancestor raised his hand tremblingly, lifted the seal of the wooden box, opened the box, took a peek inside, and then The turbid eyes suddenly shrank, and even the old hand holding the golden staff trembled slightly. The ancestor of the He family withdrew his gaze, closed the wooden box, and turned to look at Chen Dongzhi and the others.
Chen Dongzhi didn't think so much. He just wanted to finish the delivery as soon as possible, pay the errand, and go back to have a drink with his benefactor. He kept it in mind and didn't tell the woman what she was wearing. Instead, she lied. He said: "Returning to my ancestors, I have never seen that employer. Only my bodyguard has seen that person. Since the bodyguard has been delivered, I will go back to resume my life."
Hearing what Chen Dongzhi said, the ancestor of the He family smiled "Gee", put on a warm smile, approached Chen Dongzhi, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, since you have come to my He family, how can you Let people go back empty-handed, Kui'er, go get some gifts of thanks."
Saying this, the ancestor then ordered: "Ji'er, please go down and hold a banquet. I want to entertain the three little brothers who took the trouble to escort the escort."
In Xiong Feng's words, the domineering third son of the He family appeared to be obedient and obedient. His eyes flashed coldly, and then he took the order in a low voice and left.
The ancestor of the He family smiled with satisfaction and said to Chen Dongzhi and the others: "I wonder if you three are willing to sell me this thin noodle, Xiao Lao'er, and stay here to drink a few glasses of thin wine before returning to the Escort Bureau."
Chen Dongzhi and the three of them looked at each other. The escort delivered the goods. The owner of the goods received the goods because the escort had a difficult journey and asked for some light wine. It was common. However, this escort trip was not difficult and there were no dangers on the road. To say it was difficult, it was nothing more than a difficulty. When a few people went to the He family's mansion in the city to inquire about it, they heard from the servants of the He family that the ancestors and heads of the He family had gone to Hejiapu outside the city. Then they turned around and went to the city again. Just outside.
However, Chen Dongzhi then thought about it. The wealthy He family often did some good deeds in Zangbei City on weekdays. Now that they received the escort gifts, they wanted to reward them. It was normal. What's more, the ancestor of the He family invited him personally. If this face is not given, Boss Xiong and the Fuyuan Escort Bureau will inevitably encounter difficulties in the city from now on.
Thinking of this, Chen Dongzhi bowed respectfully to the ancestor of the He family and replied: "Since the ancestor invited me, Chen doesn't dare to refuse."
Hearing what Chief Chen said, Tan Wu and Lao Zhan followed suit, cupped their hands and bowed to the ancestor of the He family.
The ancestor of the He family smiled and nodded: "Okay, let me go."
After saying this, the ancestor of the He family turned around, leaning on the tiger-headed golden staff, and walked towards the back hall with unsteady steps.
Chen Dongzhi saw this and wanted to follow, but Tan Wu grabbed his arm behind him. Chen Dongzhi turned his head and whispered: "What's wrong, Xiao Tan."
"Brother Chen, I always feel that this is not right. I still remember that before we set off, the head of the family once told us that no matter how the family keeps us, we must not agree to it, just put down our things and leave." Although Tan Wu is a general in the industry, he can't wait until he leaves. Before leaving, Xiong Feng's explanation was still in his ears. He saw that escort Chen had given in to the He family's intention to stay. Although it was difficult to tell him in person, he took the opportunity to persuade Chen Dongzhi in the words of the boss.
Lao Zhan, the tour operator, also agreed with Xiao Tan and came to persuade Chen Dongzhi. Chen Dongzhi also knew in his heart, but now he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had to persuade the two of them in a low voice: "The He family is a big family in Zangbei. If we smear their face, it will be difficult for our Fuyuan Escort Agency to gain a foothold in the city from now on. Don't worry, there are I'm here. Look at my eyes and act in a while. Let's just sit for a while and then leave. It's enough to give the He family face. Besides, Xiao Tan, didn't your wife just give birth to a big fat boy for you? It's all with money. If the He family gives me some money as a reward later, just keep it honestly and buy some food and clothing for your son."
Hearing what Brother Chen said, Xiao Tan and Lao Zhan stopped talking. The three of them, led by Chen Dongzhi, headed towards the ancestor of the He family.
When he was about to leave the main hall, he saw that there were servants waiting for the three of them outside. He bowed to the three of them and led the way, leading the three of them to a courtyard in the He family's villa.
Although Chen Dongzhi and others found Hejiapu to be dazzling when they arrived, now with the guidance of the servants, they can see the splendor of this courtyard. It is built against the mountain, with a pavilion for five steps and a courtyard for ten steps. The waist of the corridor was unobtrusive, the eaves and teeth were high, and the mist in the mountains was gradually rising. It seemed like a fairyland, which made several people stunned.
"Brother Zhan, this is really like a fairyland. Today, it really opened my eyes." Tan Wu stared at the beautiful scenery, stopped for a moment, and sighed.
Although Lao Zhan was also attracted by the beautiful scenery, he still remembered what Head Guard Xiong said and softly called Xiao Tan: "Stop looking and leave quickly. Let's go back quickly. Don't worry the Chief Guard."
"What Lao Zhan said is, let's go." Chen Dongzhi has been wandering around with Xiong Feng all year round. He is also well-informed. Although he was shocked by the beautiful scenery of He Family Courtyard, he quickly recovered his mind and said the same thing. arrive.
