Chapter 96 A big victory
The middle-aged man with a face as white as a jujube has a tense expression.
He said respectfully to the five elders: "The subordinates will never be careless, and they will definitely not let Chu Lan go!"
"Hongchou, although I have confidence in you, I must not relax this time, that kid named Chu Lan is very clever and the best at surprise. The Fifth Elder looked at him and said.
"Yes!" replied a strong man named Hongchou.
"Go ahead!" the Fifth Elder waved his hand.
Hongji grows strong and looks very aggressive, Ye Mu saw in the information that he is good at defense, and his muscles can be turned into a metal-like density, which can be attacked and defended.
It seems that this time there will be a head-on confrontation.
As soon as Hongchou came to power, the Great Elder directly announced the start of the challenge.
Ye Mu was also ready, stretched out his hand to summon the wooden spear, and made a solemn appearance.
"Don't try to play tricks anymore, I will never be as careless as they are!"
The macro muscles move slightly, and the ability kicks in.
Ye Mu did not fight him closely, and controlled the wooden spear from a distance and kept sprinting, trying to test out of his cover door.
"Boy, don't waste your efforts, my ability is not the Golden Bell Hood Iron Cloth Shirt, there is no cover door to be found!" Hongchou waved his hand to block the wooden spear.
Ye Mu was unmoved, and still controlled the wooden spear to keep spying.
Overwhelmed, he rushed straight in the direction of the leaf curtain, wanting to get close to him for hand-to-hand combat.
However, although the macro chip was strong, it was not fast, and he had already retreated before he could get close to Ye Mu.
Everyone on the stage looked at the two people in the field like a family, one chasing, one fleeing, one constantly harassing with a wooden spear, and the other waving his arms like swatting flies.
"Hongchoi's ability is really not suitable for attacking, if Ye Mu keeps avoiding him, there is no way to launch an attack. Liu Gu, who was beside the five elders, said.
"Hongcho is at least in an invincible position, Chu Lan has been running around the whole field, and after a long time, he will naturally lose his physical strength, and then Hongcho will have a chance to attack. The fifth elder looked at the situation in the field and analyzed.
"Although this is relatively slow, it is also the safest, I really didn't expect this kid to be so difficult to deal with. Liu Gu gritted his teeth and said.
"Hmph, no matter how slippery the loach is, he can't slip out of the fisherman's hand, he will eventually lose. The Fifth Elder sneered.
On Chu Tianran's side, Jiang Tong said a little anxiously: "Young Master, it's not a way for Mr. Chu to hide like this, although Hongchoi can't beat him, but his wooden spear can't hurt Hongcho." ”
"Don't worry, look at Chu Lan's expression, it is obviously very relaxed, and the movements between dodges are also easy, don't worry, he may not know what good calculations he has," Chu Tianran smiled lightly.
About an hour later, the two of them were still chasing and fleeing, and everyone on the stage looked a little sleepy.
At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.
Ye Mu's feet were soft, and he didn't step on a solid step, and stumbled.
Hongcho has been activating his abilities, and his physical strength is almost exhausted, but seeing Ye Mu like this, he immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward, and the iron fist pulled away, straight past the bridge of Ye Mu's nose.
If this punch is smashed, Ye Mu will not only be disfigured, it is estimated that the entire face will be shattered.
At the moment when the iron fist approached, Ye Mu suddenly raised his hand, and the fist was wrapped around the grand chip like a vine.
Hongchou suddenly found that his muscles had softened, could it be that his physical strength was exhausted and his abilities could not be brought into play?
At the moment when Macro Chip's ability retracted, the wooden spear took advantage of the void and stabbed directly into Macro Chip's back.
"Humph!" he roared, reaching back with his other hand and grabbing the wooden spear.
Ye Mu finally dragged it out until now, and he only approached the grand chip, just to make him think that he couldn't activate the ability because of his lack of physical strength, so as to hide the effect of the golden light.
Now that Ye Mu is in control of Hongchou's ability, he must be subdued immediately, otherwise when Hongcho breaks free, the ability will be restored again, and it will be difficult to stab him with a wooden spear.
Just after Hongchou grabbed the wooden spear, Ye Mu immediately took out the second wooden spear and plunged it straight into Hongchou's back.
The sudden second wooden spear was completely unexpected by Hongcai, he didn't expect that Ye Mu was still hiding his hole cards.
In the previous battles, Ye Mu had always shown people with a single wooden spear, which of course made people think that he could only summon a single wooden spear.
Caught off guard, Hongchou was immediately hit, and his body only had time to twist an angle, and he was still pierced into the shoulder by the wooden spear, and he exhaled in pain!
Ye Mu took advantage of the situation and twisted his body, clasped Hongchou's arm, and coiled behind him, so that Hongchou could not move.
"Don't admit defeat yet, do you still want to do it again!" Ye Mu asked.
"I, ah!"
Hongchou was very unwilling, and he didn't even dare to look up in the direction of the Fifth Elder, but the stinging sensation from behind him made him uncomfortable, even if he was injured before, he had never felt this kind of pain, which was unbearable at all.
"I, admit defeat......" After Hongchou finished saying this, his figure was already trembling, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, as if he would faint in pain at any time.
Hearing this, the Great Elder walked into the arena, looked at the two of them and said, "Hongchou admits defeat, this challenge, Chu Lan wins!"
Looking at Hongchou's unbearable pain, Ye Mu was very curious, such a strong man, just had a wooden spear stuck in his shoulder, why did it hurt like this?
Could it be that the wooden spear has any other effect?
However, the Great Elder had already announced that the challenge was over, and Ye Mu had not been able to hold on to the grand chip, so he could only let go of him for the time being, and at the same time control the wooden spear to disappear.
After the wooden spear was recalled by the leaf curtain, Hongchou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but under the double blow of spirit and body, as soon as he relaxed, he immediately lost consciousness and passed out to the ground.
"What!"
Just after Hongchou was shot and admitted defeat, the five elders couldn't help but roar angrily.
He slapped the armrest, stood up and stared at Ye Mu fiercely.
Chu Tianran was originally a little distracted and sleepy because he watched the constant pursuit, but he didn't expect Ye Mu to win in an instant, and he didn't react until the Great Elder announced the result.
"Okay, Chu Lan did a good job!" Chu Tianran opened his mouth and cheered directly.
When the words fell, he ran directly beyond the leaf curtain, taking three steps and making two steps.
Seeing his posture, didn't Ye Mu want to throw himself into his arms, and he was so frightened that he immediately moved behind the Great Elder.
"Hahaha, Chu Lan, I really didn't expect it, you actually hid your hole cards at the end! I'm so happy to see the Fifth Elder's gang being played by you!" Chu Tianran patted Ye Mu's shoulder and smiled.
"It's okay, it's a fluke. Ye Mu was a little modest.
Seeing Chu Tian's smug appearance, the fifth elder became more and more angry, and with the force of his hand, he directly crushed the armrest of the chair.
"It's really useless, you were actually won by a hairy boy!" he scolded angrily.
The few remaining subordinates around were silent, not daring to say anything.
Seeing the five elders' angry appearance, Chu Tianran laughed even more unscrupulously, and said loudly: "Fifth Elder, please quickly order your subordinates to clean up the three task points in City B, and Chu Lan will take over immediately!"
The five elders were furious, completely ignoring Chu Shenjia's still being present, waved his hand, and directly strode away from the scene.
His followers left without saying a word, unhindered.
Old Xu, who had been accompanying Chu Shenjia, said lightly: "Old Chu, the fifth elder is really angry, and he actually ignores that you are still here." ”
"Hmph, that old thing has a different heart for a long time, and I don't know what conspiracy he has been involved in lately, since he doesn't know what to do, I don't have to leave any more leeway. Although Chu Shenjia responded in a low voice, his eyes revealed the majesty and domineering of the head of the clan.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen you take it so seriously. Xu Lao said with a smile.
"We're all old, we can't move, let's let nature toss hard this time, although breaking off the five elders will hurt the family's vitality, but it's much better than being wiped out. Chu Shenjia looked sideways at Chu Tianran in the audience.
"Do you have a clue about this matter, who is behind the scenes?" asked Xu Lao.
"There are no eyebrows yet, the other party should have been planning for a long time, Lao Wu is likely to be one of the chess pieces, and the Ye family is also involved, so we can't be in a hurry, wait to subdue Lao Wu first, and then interrogate slowly." Chu Shenjia frowned slightly.
"Well, I'll take care of them secretly. Xu Lao nodded.
"Thanks, old man. ”
"Hehe, don't be polite to me. By the way, what do you think of this young man Chu Lan?" Old Xu's eyes swept to the audience.
"Chu Lan, I heard naturally mention that he once saved his life in the ruins, and seeing me today makes me a little confused. Chu Shenjia raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Wonder about what?"
"Originally, this young man was silent, not inconspicuous at all, I called up his information to check, when he was young, he was often bullied at home, and his personality was relatively cowardly, but when I saw it today, he didn't look like a coward who had never seen the world, but the momentum of some children of a big family, and I was not humble or arrogant when I saw you. Chu Shenjia analyzed.
"Yes, this little guy has a good rhythm when dealing with the five elders' subordinates, and he looks very experienced in dealing with the enemy. Xu Lao said.
"That's why I'm puzzled, I heard that his ability has only awakened recently, and according to his performance just now, it's also at an advanced level, and he's progressing a little fast......"
Chu Shenjia began to groan.
"It seems that he is naturally very optimistic about him. Xu Lao smiled.
"For the time being, let him be the supervisor in City B, and then observe for a while. Chu Shenjia made a decision.
......
Chu Tianran chatted with Ye Mu for a while, and then Chu Shenjia and the others left one after another, and encouraged Ye Mu a few words before leaving.
Ye Mu fought many battles in a row, fighting wits and courage with his opponent, and he found that fighting with hidden strength was much more tiring than full firepower.
Feeling a little tired, Ye Mu and Chu Tianran said that they needed to rest for a while, so they were arranged in a separate luxury room.
The big bed in the room was soft and wide, and Ye Mu knew that it was very safe here, so he lay down on the bed and rested with peace of mind.
I don't know if it's really too tired, Ye Mu actually fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
This was still woken up by the knock on the door of the river channel, otherwise Ye Mu might have to sleep until the earth was desolate.
"Jiang Tong, is there something wrong?" Ye Mu asked as he opened the door with sleepy eyes.
"You...... Why don't you go back and rest for a while, and I'll come back in the evening?"
Jiang Tong saw Ye Mu's appearance and asked tentatively.
"Oh, yes. ”
Ye Mu heard that he didn't seem to be in a hurry, nodded in agreement, and planned to go back to make up for his sleep.
"Uh. ”
Jiang Tong didn't expect that he was just polite, Ye Mu actually really agreed, and he was speechless.
Why do you get deflated every time you go to Mr. Chu Lan?
Jiang Tong thought secretly.
"Actually, it was the eldest young master who asked you to go to lunch. Jiang Tong said.
"It's okay, I'm not going to eat it. Ye Mu waved his hand, and the whole person was still half-asleep and half-awake.
Seeing that Ye Mu was about to close the door, Jiang Tong immediately said: "Wait, the eldest young master also said that after eating, I will take you to the family for a walk, and then discuss with you the specific details of going to City B to take office." ”
"There are so many other things, he can decide for himself, and he doesn't have to consult me. ”
Ye Mu was sleepy, he felt that the big bed in the room seemed to suit him very well, he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.
"Don't, don't close the door yet, the eldest young master is already waiting for you in the restaurant, it's not appropriate if you don't go, right?" Jiang Tong looked embarrassed.
Ye Mu frowned and said: "Chu Tianran watched the excitement all morning yesterday, and he tired me alone, and now that he woke up and asked me to eat, do I have to go?"
I didn't expect Ye Mu to get up so angry, Jiang Tong touched his nose, and could only smile: "Mr. Chu, don't embarrass me, I ......"
Before Jiang finished speaking, Ye Mu closed the door with a "bang", and a faint sentence came: "Come back in the evening, let Chu Tianran come in person!"
Come in the evening?
And let the eldest young master come in person?
Jiang Tong couldn't help but start thinking in other directions, these two people really ......
Shaking his head and driving this ridiculous idea out of his head, Jiang Tong smiled bitterly and went back to his life.
"What? did he really say that?" Hearing Jiang Tong's reply, Chu Tianran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "It's really interesting, I really should go by myself." ”
He thought that he still owed Ye Mu the grace of saving his life, and he should indeed personally invite Ye Mu to dinner.
Interesting?
When Jiang Tong heard the eldest young master's answer, he immediately felt that the ridiculous idea just now might not be so ridiculous, he didn't dare to think about it, bowed his head and retreated, leaving Chu Tianran to enjoy lunch by himself.
6 o'clock in the evening.
Chu Tianran was dressed very formally, came to the door of the leaf curtain alone, and knocked on the door gently.
"Knock Knock"
"Click"
Soon, the door opened, and the leaf curtain was fully dressed.
"It's coming. ”
"You woke up?" Chu Tianran was a little surprised.
"Well, I slept well, but I was a little hungry. Ye Mu nodded.
"That's right, dinner is ready, let's go to dinner together. Chu Tianran made a gesture of please.
Ye Mu was not polite to him, and walked in front generously.
"Chu Lan, you went to rest at the end of the game yesterday, and I haven't come before I can officially congratulate you. Chu Tianran said with a smile.
"Hehe, I didn't have time to congratulate you!" Ye Mu also said with a smile.
"Congratulations to me?" Chu Tianran wondered.
"Congratulations on winning the battle against the Fifth Elders. Ye Mu said.
"Hahaha, isn't this all your credit!" Chu Tianran laughed heartily, and then continued: "You first saved my life, and now you have helped me eradicate the power of the Fifth Elder in City B, how can I thank you?"
Ye Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Didn't I also get your benefits and be promoted to senior overseer?"
"That's your own strength, and I really didn't help you. "Chu Tianran was rarely humble.
"Well, since you say so, you should owe me a favor first, and there will always be a chance to ask you for help in the future. Ye Mu said.
"yes, okay. ”
Chu Tianran's heirs are generally very reluctant to incur debts, especially human debts, but Ye Mu has a life-saving grace for him, which is not trivial, and he owes it.
The two entered the dining room together, and the servants had already prepared all the belongings, just waiting for the master to arrive.
The dishes for this dinner were obviously carefully arranged, and they must have been specially ordered by Chu Tianran.
During the banquet, Chu Tianran asked: "Chu Lan, today I have sent someone to City B to receive the task point, including two magazines and a laundry room, which one do you want to go to?"
"Didn't you say you were going to help me set up a new mission point?" Ye Mu asked rhetorically.
"Well, there were five elders occupying the place before, and they could only set up a new task point for you to go to, but now that they have all been cut down by you, they will naturally vacate the space for you to choose, so there is no need to create a new mission point. Chu Tianran said with a smile.
"I think it's better to set up a new one. Ye Mu suggested.
"Why? The locations of these three mission points are carefully selected, which is very convenient for the executors to contact. Chu Tianran said.
"First of all, these three mission points are all controlled by the five elders, and he knows the surrounding environment and personnel very well, which is not a good thing for us. Secondly, the establishment of a new mission point will help to keep the information of our actions secret, although sooner or later they will find out, but as long as it is kept secret for a period of time, I believe that it will not be long before we will bring down the five elders. Ye Mu analyzed in detail.
"What you said does make sense, I have already helped you choose a place before, but City B is too developed, and it is difficult to find a strategically located and hidden area. Chu Tianran nodded.
Ye Mu picked up the wine glass and took a sip and asked, "What place did you choose for me before?"
"Haha, I know that you open a coffee shop in Gucheng, so I also helped you choose a café, the location is in the downtown area, and it is very convenient to travel. ”
"In the city center, there are so many ordinary people there that it will not be exposed. Ye Mu said.
"Yes, but arranging for you to go to City B as an overseer was also decided by me not long ago, and it is difficult to find a suitable location in a short period of time. Chu Tianran smiled bitterly.
"Then let's stay there for a while, and then move out when we find a suitable place. Ye Mu smiled and said.
Hearing this, Chu Tianran smiled bitterly again: "This time I was a little in a hurry, I didn't arrange it too well, I just heard yesterday that there was a demolition recently, and a developer wanted to build a pedestrian street." ”
"Want to demolish?" Ye Mu whispered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and the corners of his mouth hung into a smile: "That's not right." ”
"What do you mean?"
Ye Mu looked up at Chu Tianran, and said with a playful smile: "You say, which developer can match the Chu family's financial resources, why don't you talk to them and buy that piece of land?"
"Buying land?" Chu Tianran thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Good idea!"
