"Huh? Deacon, are you back?"
The little maid Xiu'er turned around neatly and saw Jiang Yan. A sweet smile appeared on her face. She thought carefully before replying:
"Chief Li seems to have some important mission today. He went out with a team just after dawn."
She rolled her eyes and continued:
"Alchemist Wang Qi is the same. This morning he escorted a large amount of goods and headed north of the city."
It's still too late, Li Tong has already set off... Jiang Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and twisted his body, preparing to chase after him and join the team going to Wanhua Club.
"Deacon, wait, wait a moment."
At this time, I suddenly heard Xiu'er's soft call again.
"What?" Jiang Yan stopped moving.
Xiu'er trotted over and said boldly:
"I...I have prepared breakfast for you. Try it. I will prepare it in the future."
She pinned her small fists behind her back and squeezed them tightly, nervously, and her heart was beating hard.
Jiang Yan was kind to her, and this was her humble way of showing kindness.
"Then it's Lao Xiu'er."
Jiang Yan's eyes paused for a moment on Xiu'er's calm face, smiled, temporarily changed his purpose, walked to his residence, and said hello:
"I happen to be hungry."
Looking at Jiang Yan's back, Xiu'er's stiff face softened quickly. Then, she cheered lowly, quickly came to the maid team, and gave serious instructions:
"Yuzhu, hurry up and bring the breakfast you taught me to make to the deacon's room.
"Chun Tao, prepare some water and a set of clean clothes, and send them over too..."
Watching the maids disperse, Xiu'er sniffed, her smooth little chin slightly raised, and the few freckles on her face exuded joy.
The deacon is taking care of her emotions.
…
…
Wanhuahui.
Gathering Hall.
A group of uninvited guests broke in.
The leader was a man in his thirties, not tall, with protruding forehead bones, narrow eyes, messy black hair, and a heavy smell of rouge.
He was wearing a robe whose original color could not be seen clearly, with a long knife on his waist and leather boots on his feet.
When Xiao Yue'er saw this man, she immediately stood up as if facing a formidable enemy, her eyes filled with unconcealable anger.
It was this person who established the Qingzhu Gang some time ago to covet the Xiao family's property and caused huge losses to Wanhua Club.
Even her father, the former leader of Wanhua Hui, died of serious injuries due to a fight with this man.
"Tsk tsk..."
Hong Dapeng came to the Flower Gathering Hall and looked around. After finding no strange faces, he remained calm on the surface but secretly relieved in his heart.
He already knew the background of Wanhua Club, so he was naturally worried that experts from Baihe Chamber of Commerce would pay attention to this place.
Now, it seems that the Wanhua Club has not come up with anything that satisfies the masters of the Baihe Chamber of Commerce.
This is good.
Hong Dapeng's dark brown eyes lingered on Xiao Yue'er's beautiful face for a few breaths, and he suddenly laughed, breaking the almost solid atmosphere around him.
He took a step forward, his gaze full of aggression:
"Guild Master Xiao, long time no see."
Xiao Yue'er took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions that were about to explode, and glared at him.
Zhao Dapeng maintained his smile, but his tone became indifferent:
"Now, can you give me an accurate answer? Should you join the Qingzhu Gang and protect the Xiao family, or should you decide to fight to the end and cause heavy casualties to the entire Wanhua Society?"
He stared at Xiao Yue'er: "Now, have you decided?"
"Me?" When Xiao Yue'er was stared at by him, she felt a disgusting feeling like a poisonous snake crawling on her skin. She panicked and blocked the harsh words she wanted to say.
She tried hard to suppress this emotion, raised her head slightly, and glanced past the Qingzhu Gang, looking outside the Flower Gathering Hall, as if she was expecting something.
But the flower gathering hall was empty, there was nothing.
"Why haven't the people from Yinliu Danfang come yet? Could there have been any changes on the way? If they don't come, will Wanhua be abandoned?"
Xiao Yue'er didn't see the reinforcements or the rescuers, so she couldn't help but think wildly.
Without the suppression and support of the masters of Yinliu Danfang, she would not be qualified to fight against the Qingzhu Gang.
"What? Are you looking down on Zhao so much that you don't even bother to pay attention to me?"
The last smile on Zhao Dapeng's face disappeared, his eyes became cold, and he sighed:
"I already understand what President Xiao means.
"The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
He shouted: "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ran towards Xiao Yue'er, preparing to catch this stubborn little lady first.
The members of the Qingzhu Gang were well prepared, and with a ferocious laugh, they each rushed towards the targets they had found in advance.
Xiao Yue'er looked at Zhao Dapeng who was getting closer and closer. She closed her right palm and held a dagger. She instinctively made a defensive posture and prepared to resist.
But their hearts are full of despair. Without the help of the masters of Yinliu Danfang, they are definitely no match for the Qingzhu Gang.
Failure is just time.
The danger was approaching in an instant. Xiao Yue'er suppressed all her emotions and stared at Zhao Dapeng, her eyes gradually becoming fierce.
"Even if it means death, you will have to pay the price."
Just when the two sides were about to fight hand to hand, life and death would come to an end.
Suddenly, a huge, shrill buzz suddenly sounded, overwhelming the screams and noise for a while, overwhelming all the noise, making everyone freeze, instinctively turning their heads, following the source of the sound. Look.
I saw a flash of silver light passing outside the Flower Gathering Hall, flashing and extinguishing, passing over the crowd and flying straight towards Zhao Dapeng's head.
Danger! !
The alarm bells in Zhao Dapeng's heart rang loudly, and the muscles in his whole body tightened. He felt a giant beast panting behind him and staring at him with death.
He didn't have time to turn around or dodge. He clenched the handle of the knife with his right palm, lifted it back with his backhand, and relied on a warrior's instinct to place the long knife at an angle on the back.
Phew!
As soon as Zhao Dapeng finished this action, he heard a sharp and harsh metal collision sound.
Then, a powerful force suddenly exploded from behind him, making his internal organs roar, as if he would turn into mud in the next moment.
Zhao Dapeng's mouth was overflowing with blood foam, but his eyes were extremely bright and he blocked the secret attack that would definitely kill him, but he blocked it.
He took a few steps, crushing the floor with his steps, and finally stopped. He finally had a chance to see his opponent clearly.
This is a man of medium build, with black hair and black eyes, and an unremarkable appearance.
He wore thick black leather armor, his entire right arm was wrapped in a ball of silver chains, and his left hand held a huge crossbow as tall as a person.
It was Li Tong.
Last night, Jiang Yan informed him to come to Wanhua Club early this morning. Unexpectedly, he came a little late and almost caused trouble.
"Chief Li."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone from the Wanhua Club took the opportunity to break away from the Qingzhu Gang villains, ran out, and met up with the helper who was obviously invited by the leader of the club.
