Under the guidance of the servants, Chen Dongzhi and the others could not remember how many corridors they walked through and how many rooms they passed through. It was not until they reached an inconspicuous house that the servants in front stopped and signaled to the three of them that they were already at their place. .
Chen Dongzhi was curious about why this banquet place for a wealthy family was supposed to be magnificent. Why did the house look so dilapidated? He had no choice but to ask his servants: "May I ask your Excellency, does our ancestor want us to stay here?" "
The servant seemed a little nervous. There were beads of sweat on his forehead in this winter day. He said with a slight trembling: "Guests don't need to ask any questions. The ancestor and the head of the family are waiting for the three of them."
"Although our status is low, to find a place like this and talk about a banquet is a bit disrespectful." Tan Wu was young and energetic, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of annoyance.
After all, Chen Dongzhi was used to seeing big scenes. At this time, he realized that something was fishy. He stopped Tan Wu and continued to speak. He was about to ask the servant more questions when he saw that the servant seemed to be frightened by something terrible. By the time Chen Dongzhi was talking to Tan Wu, he had already fled.
Chen Dongzhi felt more and more that something was wrong, so he turned to Tan Wu and Lao Zhan and said, "Something is wrong, Xiao Tan, Lao Zhan, let's leave now."
When Tan Wu and Lao Zhan saw that Chen Dongzhi didn't look like he was joking, they hurriedly followed Chen Dongzhi's instructions and turned around to head towards the way they came. Unexpectedly, a figure stopped in front of the three of them.
Chen Dongzhi looked closely and saw that it was He Ji, the third eldest son of the He family, and saw that his eagle eyes were looking at the three of them with evil intentions. With a roll of his eyes, Chen Dongzhi quickly put on a smile, saluted He Ji repeatedly and said, "Hello, Mr. He, we three can just go in by ourselves. How dare we bother Mr. He to greet him personally."
Without saying a word, He Ji glanced at the three of them with his sinister eyes, and then said coldly: "What's wrong, three of you, where are you going?
Chen Dongzhi was quick to think, and bowed to the He Kui brothers: "Replying to the third master, the three young men suddenly remembered that before leaving, my chief bodyguard told the three of us another extremely important matter. Master, look at my stupid head, how could I have forgotten this matter? No, I just remembered it and I have to rush back to the escort agency."
"One meal can't delay anything important. Don't be anxious. My eldest brother has already received the fate of our ancestors. He rushed to Fuyuan Escort Bureau to invite your escort chief Xiong to come to Hejiapu for a reunion."
He Jihan's gloomy eyes fell on Chen Dongzhi and the others, which not only made the three of them shiver, but also heard what He Laosan said, so they could only turn around with Tan Wu and Lao Zhan and walk back to the house. .
He Ji followed the three of them, and when he saw Chen Dongzhi's trembling hand touching the door, reluctant to push it open, he said: "Boss Chen, my ancestor is waiting to entertain you three inside. Please come in quickly and take a seat."
Seeing this situation, Chen Dongzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet, close his eyes, and push open the door.
Closing his eyes tightly, Chen Dongzhi did not feel any danger. Then he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a large table more than ten feet long, filled with delicacies, and the ancestor of the He family was sitting on the main seat. , looking at Chen Dongzhi with cold eyes.
Chen Dongzhi felt a little relieved when he saw that it was not what he thought. Then he winked at Tan Wu and Lao Zhan who were also astonished behind him, and the three of them walked slowly into the house.
"Sit down." The ancestor of the He family could not see any emotion in his cloudy eyes. He just made a faint gesture to indicate to the three of them to sit down.
Seeing that he could no longer refuse, He Ji behind him also put on a posture that the three of them would not listen. Chen Dongzhi had no choice but to go to the table with Xing and sit down opposite the ancestor of the He family.
The ancestor's turbid eyes passed over the faces of the three people, and then he said to He Ji who was standing behind the three people: "Go to the mountain gate of the other courtyard to greet your eldest brother. If he comes back, bring him here. .”
"I will obey my father's order." He Ji accepted the order and left.
Chen Dongzhi did not dare to say anything, so he had to sit quietly with Tan and Zhan. From the corner of his eye, Chen Dongzhi caught a glimpse of the wooden box brought by the three of them on the seat next to the ancestor.
Feeling flustered for no reason, Chen Dongzhi and the others could only pretend to be calm and wait quietly.
The ancestor sitting across from the three people was extremely calm, completely without the old look in the main hall, but kept stroking the wooden box on the seat next to him with one hand.
About half an hour later, perhaps because he had been sitting for a long time, the ancestor slowly stood up and walked slowly around the hall with his golden staff.
The sound of the golden staff hitting the ground again and again was like a drum beating on the hearts of Chen Dongzhi and the others, making the three of them panic.
Chen Dongzhi clearly knew that there was only an old man in front of the three of him, so why was he still so panicked.
Just when the ancestor of the He family reached the tenth circle, the door behind Chen Dongzhi and the others was suddenly pushed open, and a sinister sound came into the house.
"Dad, big brother is back."
Hearing this, the ancestor of the He family stopped and his eyes did not move for even a moment. He just said with a hint of sadness: "It's good to come back. It's good to come back. Let him bring that person to see me."
"yes."
He Ji followed the order and came out. Not long after, in the astonished eyes of Chen Dongzhi and the others, they saw He Kui striding over carrying a man covered in blood.
This man was covered in injuries and had long been unconscious. When the three of them saw the man's blood-stained face clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"General escort chief."
Chen Dongzhi and the others stood up suddenly. They never expected that this man covered in wounds was actually their chief escort, Xiong Feng.
Normally, the chief escort and everyone are like brothers, and everyone in Fuyuan Escort Bureau also has a very good relationship. Seeing the chief escort's behavior, Chen Dongzhi and the other three suddenly turned red and yelled at He Kui: "Let go of my family." Dart head."
Although Tan Wu was about to enter the industry, Xiong Feng took care of him the most. Knowing that his wife had just given birth to a child, he always sent people to sneak some money into his home. Tan Wu refused several times, but Xiong Feng was the one who took care of him. Got an education.
It is said that it is not easy for a woman to marry you. You cannot make others suffer after giving birth to a child. The monthly salary of an escort who has just entered the industry is small. He knows that no matter how hard it is, the child cannot be made miserable. Under Xiong Feng's repeated insistence, Tan Wupu I accepted it with tears in my eyes.
The feelings in the world are so pure. Tan Wu has not yet had time to repay Xiong Feng. Now seeing the chief escort's confused state of life and death, his blood instantly surges and he is about to step forward to snatch the chief escort's chief from He Kui's hands.
However, Chen Dongzhi reached out to stop him. The veins on Tan Wu's neck popped out and he shouted at Chen Dongzhi: "Brother Dongzhi, what are you doing?"
Although Chen Dongzhi was fat, he was extremely angry when he saw the chief escort's face covered with blood, but he still retained a trace of sobriety. He knew the skills of the chief escort. He Kui's neat clothes were already impressive. The way the chief escort looked like, his skills were definitely not rivaled by the three of them.
After stopping Tan Wu and Lao Zhan who wanted to act impulsively, Chen Dongzhi suppressed his anger and said to the expressionless ancestor of the He family opposite, leaning on a golden staff: "Ancestor, what do you mean?"
"Giggle..." The ancestor of the He family seemed to be poked by Chen Dongzhi's words, and the infiltrating laughter spread throughout the room. But with a smile, the wrinkled face of the ancestor of the He family suddenly appeared again. He suddenly turned to sadness, and turned around abruptly, his cloudy eyes filled with tears of sadness.
Perhaps it was excessive sadness that made the wrinkled face of the ancestor of the He family become abnormally distorted. The ancestor of the He family slowly walked to the place where he was sitting just now. He lifted his old hand and his veins were clearly visible. He gently brushed the wooden box, and the wooden box mouth The child suddenly opened.
What was clearly contained inside was a human head. The head seemed to have been soaked in medicine. It did not smell of blood, but instead exuded the smell of medicine.
Chen Dongzhi and the other three stood stunned on the spot. The dart the woman was carrying turned out to be a human head. There was no trace of blood on this person's face, and it seemed that he had not felt any pain when he died. Looking closely at the wound on his neck, it looked like a sword wound, but not like a sword wound. , like a fly's wing, cut off at the neck, and looking at the face of the human head, it is 70% or 80% similar to He Ji.
"This...this..." For a moment, Chen Dongzhi didn't know how to speak. What the woman asked the Fuyuan Escort Bureau to send to the He family turned out to be...
His mind was in a mess, and he was still trying to remember, but the ancestor of the He family spoke.
"Okay, what the Fuyuan Escort Agency does is really good. My birthday is approaching during the Yuan Day Festival, so why don't you give me my second son's head to celebrate my birthday?"
Chen Dongzhi regretted it at this moment. He did not listen to the advice of his boss and coveted the gold and silver in the woman's deerskin bag. This got him into trouble. He had trouble explaining. Then he looked at the two brothers He Kui and He Ji standing behind him. His face was filled with sadness and his eyes contained murderous intent, approaching the three of them.
Only then did Chen Dongzhi remember that when the three of them handed the wooden box to the ancestor of the He family, his expression changed slightly. It turned out that at that time, he discovered that the wooden box contained his son's head. They were lured to this remote hut in another courtyard before attacking a few people. This forbearance and scheming, now that I think about it, are extremely terrifying.
At this point, Chen Dongzhi knew that he was at a loss for words. In a panic, his mind was in confusion. Who was the woman escorting the bodyguard? What kind of grudge did she have with the He family? He did not hesitate to offend the most powerful person in Zangbei City. family.
Although Chen Dongzhi didn't know the reason, He Kui and He Ji behind him didn't want to let the three of them go. He Kui was already in control and was about to kill several people.
"Wait a minute." The ancestor of the He family gently raised his hand to signal his son to wait a moment.
"Let me ask you how you communicate with the escort." Although the tone of the ancestor of the He family was soft at this time, it could be felt that he was trying his best to suppress the murderous intention in his heart.
Lao Zhan was speechless by this scene, and so was Xiao Tan. Chen Dongzhi was the only one who could still speak.
"I...we don't know...who the person escorting the escort is...and there is no way to contact her...we only know that she...she is a woman." Chen Dongzhi was also afraid that the He family would recognize the Fuyuan Escort Bureau as the murderer, so he hurriedly moved the former escort into the hall. Tell the ancestor of the He family what has not been said.
Upon hearing this, the ancestor of the He family stroked the head of the second son of the He family in the box with his old hands, and his piercing laughter resounded throughout the house again.
"Didn't you tell me in the main hall that you have never met your employer? Why did you say that your employer is a woman? Is this... so easy to lie to me?"
While the ancestor of the He family was speaking, he saw the old palm waved in the air, and instantly a palm wind burst out from his palm. The wind came so fast that Chen Dongzhi was about to see the ancestor of the He family wave his palm. I felt a strong force coming from my chest.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongzhi was thrown to the wall like a tattered rag soaked in water. He flew backwards and created a dent in the wall behind him.
"Poof" Chen Dongzhi's fat body hit the ground heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"Do you want to say it now?" The old voice came again.
Chen Dongzhi was lying on the ground, feeling that his internal organs were about to fall apart. He also wanted to say it, but he had already told the truth, and the He family didn't believe it. What should he do?
Looking at the owner who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and Xiao Tan and Lao Zhan who wanted to help, Chen Dongzhi made up his mind to rescue everyone no matter what the cost.
He forcibly swallowed the sweetness in his chest, slowly stood up, and managed to speak.
"Ancestor He, I say, I say. However, I have a condition."
"Oh? The little old man has been in the world for decades, and no one has dared to bargain with the little old man."
The ancestor of the He family suppressed his anger, stared at Chen Dongzhi with his turbid eyes, and said.
