Yongtongfang is quiet late at night.
Dozens of black figures were divided into five teams and quickly rushed into the alleyway.
There was plant ash in the insoles of the group's shoes, and they made no sound when they landed. He did not say a word during his actions and only used gestures to convey information.
Like black ink injected into five twisting and slender glass tubes, five groups of men in black quickly rushed toward their destination.
A house was quickly surrounded.
There were also five or six shooters armed with strong bows lurking on the rooftops in the distance.
boom!
Zhuo Yinghai took the lead and rushed towards the courtyard gate.
The gray wooden door shattered instantly.
Zhuo Yinghai rushed into the house without hesitation, ignoring the dust on his head and face.
After a while, he walked out of the room with an angry face.
"No one?" Li Jun was surprised.
I made special inquiries before to confirm that someone was coming in and out of this house.
"Maybe it's too late."
"It's possible that this is just a cover." Zhuo Yinghai suppressed his anger and analyzed calmly.
"It's difficult." Li Jun frowned.
"Forget it, let's go back first." Zhuo Yinghai sighed, his face full of loneliness.
He thought about the raids a few months ago.
All the forces in Nanyang Mansion, large and small, worked together, but in the end it was only someone who tipped off the information that showed sincerity.
I am just a leader of the Jinghong Gang, but I can't mobilize the entire Lijiang Acropolis.
"Excuse me, Hall Master Li. Let's go back and have a drink." Zhuo Yinghai said bitterly.
He felt that his son's revenge could never be avenged.
Dozens of people came and went as quickly as they came, quickly disappearing into the night.
In the stillness of the night, only the broken wooden doors and the courtyard were left in disarray.
Two streets away, on the roof of a house, a cloud of black smoke slowly emerged in the night. A lifelike little paper figure stared solemnly at the chaotic house in the distance.
Two streets away, Chen's house.
Under the moonlight, Chen Mu picked up a piece of fried fish fillet and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Sure enough, there are still consequences."
He got up in the middle of the night to have extra meals and used to send out the ghost paper man as a sentry, but he never expected to see this scene.
"Forget it, get used to it."
Kill the younger ones and bring in the older ones. Isn't this the standard routine in the world?
"Cut the grass and roots?" Chen Mu sighed: "The Jianghu is indeed a big dye vat."
"The idea of cutting the grass and root out the roots appears so smoothly in my mind, alas..."
"Is the honest and kind me really going to be gone forever?" Chen Mu felt a little heavy.
"It's all because of this abominable world!"
…
In the middle of the night, the crescent moon hangs in the west.
The entire Lijiang Acropolis has fallen asleep.
Even the hooks and tiles have gradually disappeared.
When Wu entered the house, it was pitch dark. All the maids and servants had gone to rest. Only the candlelight flickered in one room in the inner house.
Zhuo Yinghai poured wine into his mouth one cup at a time.
Li Jun kept comforting and persuading.
The dishes and meat on the table were changed twice, but Zhuo Yinghai was surprised that he didn't get drunk.
"I really hate my ability to drink! I can't get drunk even if I want to!" Zhuo Yinghai shouted as he drank another drink for himself.
Li Jun's mouth twitched, your name is worthy of the name.
Even his companion was dizzy from drinking, but the old boy became more and more energetic as he drank.
But seeing the sadness on the other person's face, Li Jun shook his head helplessly and continued drinking.
…
Quiet in the courtyard.
A dark shadow quietly jumped into the house
The domestic dog that had just stood up to bark suddenly whined twice and fell to the ground unconscious.
The black shadow moved quickly in the shadow with brisk hands and feet.
He seemed to know the layout of the courtyard and came to the inner house with ease.
Glancing at the brightly lit room not far away, the dark shadow quietly moved towards the back house.
boom!
The door shattered.
A figure was like an arrow leaving the string, holding up the half-broken door and heading straight towards the black shadow!
"I've been waiting for you!"
"Suffer death!"
Zhuo Yinghai became angry and punched the opponent in the back.
Phew!
A bloody fist suddenly penetrated the opponent's chest.
Zhuo Yinghai suddenly shook his hand, and the other person was like a tattered doll, smashing down a wall and making no sound in an instant.
"Brother Zhuo, caught?!" Li Jun followed closely behind.
The dark house lights up. More than a dozen strong men holding lanterns and torches quickly surrounded the inner house.
"That's not right." Zhuo Yinghai frowned.
Three or five strong men stepped forward and pulled the person out of the pile of rocks.
Li Jun stepped forward and pulled off the man in black's face mask.
A thin face about forty years old appeared in front of everyone.
"Who is this?" Li Jun was stunned.
Zhuo Yinghai's heart became heavier and heavier.
This is definitely not Chen Jia, and he doesn’t even match his age.
"Looks like he's really gone." Zhuo Yinghai couldn't help but sigh.
He made a big fuss in the other party's house. He thought that the other party would come to attack him at night, but unexpectedly, an unknown person showed up.
…
Two days later.
It's still that five-entry house.
"I found out, it's a local habitual thief." Li Jun looked ugly.
This house is his own secret private house, unknown to outsiders. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by local thieves. He also quietly obtained the topographic map of the courtyard.
I sneaked in that night because I was being chased by the casino and wanted to come here to steal some money to pay off my debt.
"Forget it." Zhuo Yinghai sighed lonely.
Li Jun has not been idle these two days. Send someone to help him search the Lijiang Acropolis. He also secretly placed a reward. Unfortunately nothing was found.
"I'll go back tomorrow." Zhuo Yinghai waved his hands in disappointment.
"Brother Zhuo, wait two more days! I still don't believe it. There are people I can't find in this small Lijiang City!" Li Jun said bitterly.
I couldn't find it even after mobilizing so much power, and my house was robbed by a thief. I was so embarrassed!
No matter what, you have to make some achievements!
"Forget it." Zhuo Yinghai sighed: "My concubine has given birth to twins, two sons."
Zhuo Yinghai suppressed the corners of his mouth to prevent them from rising. "No one, only two. Alas...that's it."
"I didn't teach Ru Feng well, and I provoked people I shouldn't have provoked."
"I have to train these two little sons well, and I can't let them follow in Feng'er's footsteps."
"Lao Li, are there any local specialties in Lijiang Acropolis? I will bring some back to my son tomorrow."
"Well... burn some for Ru Feng too." Zhuo Yinghai looked at Li Jun eagerly.
Li Jun: "..."
Am I supposed to congratulate you or advise you to express condolences?
You made me so confused!
…
Hongde Pier.
Chen Mu carried a small cloth bag and boarded the passenger ship back to Nanyang Fucheng briskly.
It was the third day after the raid that he decided to leave Lijiang Acropolis quietly.
"I am still the honest and kind-hearted good person." Chen Mu was very glad that his heart was not dark yet.
He actually went out that night, but his conscience overcame the influence of the dangerous world on him.
On the road he met a bad gambler who was cornered. Seeing how pitiful the other party was being beaten by debt collectors, he kindly gave the other party a topographic map of wealthy people.
I hope it can make the other party suspend their urgent needs and save their lives.
As for the trap, containment, or ambush, Chen Mu said that he knew nothing about it.
"Good people are rewarded." Chen Mu was very grateful to that bad gambler.
…
After a half-day boat trip, we were completely away from the city of Lijiang River.
Chen Mu walked out of the room.
His room was on the top floor of the ship, and there was a public viewing platform toward the bow.
Chen Mu wandered to the observation deck, holding on to the railing and admiring the calm river.
The cool river breeze blew, and Chen Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes happily.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place."
"Everyone knows that Chen Jia has come to Lijiang Acropolis."
"I would never have thought that Chen Jia would return to Nanyang Fucheng."
Chen Mu thought happily.
Suddenly, a sigh came from not far away.
A stout old man about fifty years old with half white hair leaned on the railing and looked at it.
Chen Mu couldn't help but turn around and look.
"Little brother, are you going to Nanyang Fucheng?" the old man asked kindly.
"It seems we are on the same journey." Chen Mu responded kindly.
"Why does my little brother look familiar to me?" the old man wondered.
Chen Mu also frowned slightly: "I feel the same way."
"You must have seen me sometime." The old man thought for a while and felt relieved.
"Maybe it's my public face." Chen Mu also smiled.
"I'm Zhuo Yinghai, what's your surname, little brother?" Zhuo Yinghai asked with a smile.
"Oh, no need to worry, my name is Mu Chen." Chen Mu replied with a smile.
