Zhou Xingzu also asked me if I had enough manpower.
I nodded to express that it was enough, and then said: "Bring a carriage over and ask Xiang Lu to drive it. He will take me and Zhu Xie there first. You and your people should follow us at a distance."
Zhou Xingzu's expression changed and he said uneasily: "Those are all desperadoes. Mr. Li doesn't need to put himself in danger. Can't we just send people over to contain them?"
I immediately shook my head and said that if they brought a team of people over, they would definitely alert the enemy.
We only went to a carriage and no one showed up, so it would naturally not affect us.
Zhou Xingzu looked embarrassed, and Zhu Xian frowned and said, "You will do whatever Mr. Li says. Do you know what to do better than Mr. Li?"
Zhou Xingzu looked embarrassed. He stopped talking and ordered the servant to do something.
After the servant left in a hurry, it didn't take long before he brought a carriage and parked it outside the courtyard.
Then Zhou Xingzu told Xiang Lu that he should take a route and pass through a certain place.
He told me again that we should wait half an hour before going out. He was going back now to prepare some things.
I naturally understand Zhou Xingzu’s intention.
After he goes back and is ready, and we pass by again, he can lead people to follow us from behind according to the time and distance.
Zhou Xingzu’s thinking is not unreasonable!
I said no problem, after all we have to wait until it gets a little later, so the time is just right.
Zhou Xingzu and the servant left the house.
Zhu Xun opened the rice drawer that the servant brought to us, which was filled with a lot of food.
While eating, I called Xiang Lu.
He was obviously very responsible and well-behaved. After holding his chopsticks for a few times, he stopped moving.
Xiang Lu was not familiar with us, so I didn’t greet him much so as not to make him feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the time on the pocket watch, it was almost half past eight, which was already past the time requested by Zhou Xingzu.
The reason why we wait until now is because it is getting darker now and most people will go to bed.
I stood up and motioned to Lu to catch the car.
Leaving the courtyard, Xiang Lu drove the carriage slowly and walked along the city.
I don't know Hongyuan County, nor do I know where Zhou Xingzu and Xiang Lu were talking about.
Anyway, we walked around the city for quite some time, and there was a slight sound of water flowing outside the car window.
I looked out through the car window and saw a sparkling river flowing towards the west.
"Mr. Li, we are almost at the haunted house..." Xiang Lu's voice was timid and uneasy.
"Don't be afraid. When you get to the door of the house, get off the car and run back." I said calmly.
Xiang Lu's tone was full of surprise, and he said a good word.
The road was extremely quiet, at least from the car window, without the slightest sound of human beings.
In this case, we definitely didn't cause any trouble. The group of coffin bearers had no idea that they were being watched by me, and I was even close!
Zhu Xie turned his head, looked behind him, and told me in a low voice that roughly Zhou Xingzu and his men should follow us at a distance of one mile, which would only take half a cup of tea.
Obviously, Zhu Xie also has a plan in mind.
The carriage suddenly stopped and he whispered to Lu that we were here.
The next moment, the carriage shook, and the sound of rapid footsteps was heard, obviously running towards the land.
Zhu Xie and I got out of the car. There were many cracks on the ground. Behind us was a river with collapsed banks.
Of course, only the three or four meters in width collapsed, and the front and rear ends were neatly repaired with bricks and stones.
On the other side, there is a dilapidated courtyard. It has obviously been unoccupied for a long time. The lanterns hanging at the door are broken and full of spider silk.
Zhu Xun's eyes were wary as he stepped toward the courtyard gate.
I put my hands behind my back and followed a few steps until I stopped under the threshold.
Dong Dong Dong, Zhu Xie knocked on the door.
From the upper right position, there was suddenly a burning sensation of gaze.
My pupils tightened and I turned my head to look at the upper right position.
It was a locust tree with dense branches and leaves, which happened to grow in this yard.
At this glance, I saw nothing but pitch black leaves.
But I know that the people in the yard have discovered us!
At this moment, the courtyard door suddenly opened with a creak.
However, no one appeared behind the door...
Zhu Xie looked alert. He raised his hand to hold the beheading knife on his back and walked towards the courtyard.
I still followed Zhu Xun forward with my hands behind my back.
With Zhu Xie's skill, it's impossible for the people here to touch me. There's no need for me to do anything.
Zhou Xingzu and his men were also nearby. Zhu Xie and I attracted the attention of these people, so they would not have time to discover those men.
We arrived at the courtyard in a moment.
The lonely courtyard was pitch black at first.
The next moment, the dim candlelight came on.
Amidst the rustling sounds, people walked out quietly from various dark places...
Especially in the front hall, people came out from behind the dark door.
Although he is short in life, he is extremely strong. His square-shaped face is stern, yet somewhat feminine.
Black cloth clothes, white cloth shoes, a white handkerchief wrapped around his waist, and a red and white hat with the brim turned up several times on his head.
Zhu Xun pulled out the beheading knife from his back and held it across his chest!
My pupils tightened a few more times, and then my expression became calm and calm.
"I thought we met another group of coffin bearers stealing the female body, but I didn't expect that we met Consul Wang again because of our fate," I said calmly.
The man standing in front of the hall is clearly Wang Gang!
The moment I finished speaking, Zhu Xun turned his head slightly, with surprise in his eyes. But in an instant, he showed a look of enlightenment. He didn't ask me any more questions, but became more vigilant.
The rest of the people who came out of the shadows were all dressed the same as Wang Gang, except for one person without a hat.
Each of them holds a long bamboo pole with a red and white rope tied to it.
Wang Gang's scrawny face showed only sternness and astonishment.
The rest of the coffin bearers were mostly filled with surprise and uncertainty, and the rest were frightened and resentful.
"The road between enemies is narrow, Li Yinyang, you are here, are you here to find us?!" Wang Gang said in a loud voice, he squinted his eyes slightly and raised his hand.
Those Eight Immortals are approaching us one after another, forming an encirclement, as if they are preparing to take action!
Zhu Xie said coldly: "You look like Mendun, and your brain is not very bright. Didn't Mr. Li just say that he was originally looking for another group of people, but I didn't expect to meet you."
Suddenly, Wang Gang's face turned as black and red as pig liver.
His hand suddenly yanked from the shadow on the side of the main room door, and a huge dragon pole was directly pulled out by him and hit hard on the ground!
"You bastard, are you scolding me?!"
