Chapter 49: The Trap
The location of the Bai family's place is located in the depths of Fenglong Mountain, surrounded by green mountains on three sides, even in the middle of the night, there are shadows of trees swaying in the breeze.
After agreeing to Bai Ruochen's suggestion, the three of them rushed towards the Bai family's land as fast as possible, with their current cultivation realm, shuttling through the deep mountains and old forests late at night was not a problem at all.
In just half an hour, the three of them already saw the villa established by the Bai family in the deep mountains and old forests of Fenglong Mountain at a huge cost. On that flat ground, the scale of the entire mountain villa is very large, and it is full of antique pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. If someone who doesn't know the details of this place dares to break into this world, they will definitely think that they have traveled to ancient times.
On the hillside thousands of kilometers away from the mountain villa, Wang Ke's eyes flashed with thinking, he quickly glanced at Bai Ruochen, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?" Straight in? Still is? ”
Bai Ruochen was very calm at the moment, and said lightly: "Through the people who intercepted and killed us halfway, it can be seen that Bai Xuanji's bastard's father, that is, my damn uncle Bai Zhengming, did not dare to blatantly kill me, and those people he sent to Lu should be his cronies." As long as my father is here, as long as my father is still the head of the family, even if the power of the family is almost all overturned by Bai Zhengming now, they don't dare to do it directly to me. Let's just walk in like this, I have to see Yun Rou and ask her what she's up for! ”
Wang Ke thought for a moment, then nodded silently, and said: "Anyway, if we want to break in, sneak in, it's better to walk in openly!" That sentence is right: Tiger poison does not eat children, your father is the head of the family after all, even if his rights are all hollowed out, I am afraid that he Bai Zhengming will not dare to kill his younger brother openly and seek to seize the position of the patriarch of the family. ”
Ouyang Yan quickly said after Wang Ke's voice fell: "That's right, killing relatives and trying to seize the position of family patriarch is a taboo in the ancient martial arts world. Unless the Bai family no longer appeared in the ancient martial arts realm in the future, they would not dare to do so. What's more, so far, the position of the head of the family is still your father, which means that Bai Zhengming does not dare to mess around, he can only use the strength in his hand to deal with us secretly. ”
Bai Ruochen nodded and said, "That's right, that's the truth." Let's go, without further ado, let's enter the Baijia Villa in the open. ”
After a short discussion, the three of them rushed towards the gate of Baijia Villa.
"Who? This is the Bai family's land, please leave quickly. ”
A loud voice came from the gate of the Bai family, and at the gate of the Bai family, six burly men grabbed the hilt of the sword at their waists almost at the same time, and looked at Bai Ruochen, Wang Ke, and Ouyang Yan who arrived one by one.
The big man at the head flashed with a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and as soon as his words fell, he recognized Bai Ruochen. Obviously, he also knows about Bai Ruochen, and he can also show that he is Bai Ruochen's uncle Bai Zhengming.
Bai Ruochen said in a cold voice: "I am Bai Ruochen, the son of the head of the Bai family, if you are not stupid, you should not stop me!" ”
The big man at the head changed his face slightly, while the other five big men behind him quickly retreated to the sides.
Today's Bai family has been faintly divided into three factions, the first faction is the power led by Bai Feng, the head of the Bai family, and now it is the weakest party of the Bai family; The second faction is the powerful force led by Bai Zhengming, which belongs to the strongest group of people in the Bai family. The other faction is a group of people representing neutrality, their number is not large, but they account for 30% of the Bai family's combat power, if these neutral people fall to which side, that side can instantly become a powerful force of the Bai family.
Except for the big man at the head, the other five people are all centrist figures, so Bai Ruochen returned to the Bai family, they were not qualified to stop him, after all, the son of the head of the family returned to the clan land, this is a matter of course, if he is blocked, it is a great rebellion.
The face of the big man at the head became extremely ugly, the green tendons on his forehead bulged slightly, and after quickly reining the murderous intent in his eyes, he hugged his fists at Bai Ruochen and said, "Since it is the young master of the Bai family who has returned, then hurry up and invite in!" ”
His voice was extremely loud, and almost in the middle of the night, the people of the entire Baijia Villa could hear it clearly.
For a while, the people of the entire Baijia Villa became tense, except for the neutral faction that had been hiding in the dark, the other two factions were ready for a life-and-death game. At this moment, Bai Feng, the head of the Bai family, and Bai Zhengming were called to the family ancestral hall by those elders of the family neutral faction.
In the tense atmosphere, Bai Ruochen seemed to be a person who had nothing to do, and took Wang Ke and Ouyang Yan to stride towards the courtyard that belonged to him when he came back before.
"Lao Bai, the doorman at the gate of the villa just now has already told the news of your return in a voice that is enough for the entire Baijia Villa to hear, it stands to reason that your father should be looking for you as soon as possible, but we have all come to the place where you used to live, why didn't he send someone to call you? Or didn't come in person? Did something happen? Ouyang Yan asked with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Bai Ruochen shook his head and said: "There will be no accidents, as long as the Bai family is still my father as the head of the family, as long as my father is still alive and he is not secretly killed by Bai Zhengming, then no one can shake his position as the patriarch of the family." Maybe he has something to do, or maybe he'll send someone to call me later! ”
Wang Ke nodded slowly and said, "That's right, I think what Lao Bai said makes sense." Ever since we entered Baijia Villa, I have found that there are many people in ambush in secret, and those people don't seem to be the same people, as if they have two groups of people, creating a state of confrontation in secret. ”
Ouyang Yan was puzzled: "Then what should we do next?" Are you just waiting here? ”
Bai Ruochen said without hesitation: "That's right, just wait here!" If my dad asked me to let go, then I would immediately leave the Bai family in front of everyone in the Bai family. If my dad supports me, then let's kill him! Although the Bai family members are all my relatives, what they do makes me feel no trace of family affection, in my heart, those people are enemies, and they are all enemies that should be killed. ”
Wang Ke nodded and said, "Okay, since you have to wait, Lao Bai, then you should hurry up and cultivate and recover the consumed true qi!" ”
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the second half of the night.
At the third watch, there was a knock on Bai Ruochen's courtyard door, and Wang Ke, Bai Ruochen, and Ouyang Yan, who were in cultivation, were suddenly awakened by the knock on the door.
Three figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard, Bai Ruochen's eyes flashed with cold light, and he asked in a deep voice, "What person?" ”
A clear voice came from outside the door: "Ruochen, I am Da Zhuang." ”
Bai Ruochen's expression relaxed slightly, he quickly walked to the courtyard gate, stretched out his hand to open the courtyard door, looked at the young man standing outside the courtyard gate, and immediately asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The young man turned his head to look behind him, and then lowered his voice and said, "Ruochen, the head of the family asked me to come and call you, and he said that he wanted to talk to you." However, outside your courtyard, there are a lot of people who are white and ringing, but you don't have to worry, the other party doesn't dare to do it to you under the noses of so many people in secret. ”
Bai Ruochen frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when Wang Ke stretched out his hand to stop him: "Old Bai, now that the situation between the enemy and me is unknown, be careful and deceitful, I don't think you can go, or rather, since your father knows that you are here, why don't you let him come to see you?" ”
Bai Ruochen shook his head and said, "Wang Ke, don't worry!" Da Zhuang is my dad's cronies, since he is here, I believe it must be my dad's intention! I'm going to meet my dad and see what he really means! ”
Wang Ke glanced at the young man deeply, and then said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then we will also follow you over!" Save yourself from danger! ”
The young man frowned, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face, and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that Ruochen doesn't even believe the head of the family? Could it be that the head of the family would harm his own son? The head of the house has an order, but he only sees Ruochen alone, and the others must stay here. ”
Bai Ruochen hurriedly said: "Wang Ke, Ouyang, you two can stay here with peace of mind!" Since Da Zhuang came to call me, there will be no problem! I'll go over on my own, and nothing will happen! ”
Seeing that Bai Ruochen said so seriously, Wang Ke sighed secretly in his heart, then nodded slowly, and said: "Old Bai, if something happens, you will immediately shout loudly!" As long as I hear the voice, I can lock your position as soon as possible, and when the time comes, I will rush over as soon as possible, and if anyone dares to hurt you, I will make them pay a terrible price. ”
Bai Ruochen nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry!" ”
Immediately, Bai Ruochen followed the young man out of the courtyard quickly and strode towards the side of the wide road in the distance.
Wang Ke under the starry sky, faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but what was wrong, he couldn't say, in short, after they entered the Bai family manor, everything went too smoothly, those enemies hidden in the shadows didn't even make a sneak attack, this is a bit like their style, and Wang Ke faintly felt that it was impossible for the enemy to let Bai Ruochen easily see his father.
However, he didn't have the slightest evidence, so there was no way to stop Bai Ruochen.
"Wang Ke, are you worried?" Ouyang Yan stood beside Wang Ke, he had already sensed that Wang Ke's expression was wrong, so he quickly asked.
Wang Ke nodded silently and said in a low voice: "That's right, I think it's strange, now at this time, Bai Ruochen's father actually called him over, the first time we came to Baijia Villa before, why didn't his father send someone to call him?" Why don't you even wait until the morning to call him? I'm afraid it's a trap. ”
Ouyang Yan smiled bitterly: "Probably not, right?" Forget it, let's wait and see, I believe that the people of the Bai family, even if they are extremely vicious, will not kill Lao Bai under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes in the dark. ”
