Chapter 106: The Silver Whistle Blows
Su Qianqian suddenly hugged Wu Chen from behind, buried her head on Wu Chen's shoulder, and sobbed slightly: "Brother Wu Chen, thank you." ”
Feeling the slight wetness on his shoulders, Wu Chen lowered his head and put aside all his doubts about the blood moon for the time being.
Turning around and gently slapping her slender back, she comforted: "It's okay Qianqian, everything will be fine." ”
A few cold coughs came, and Wu Chen looked up and saw Su Bai, who had been standing at the door for an unknown amount of time, with a straight face and a very unkind look at himself.
"It's not early, you want to stay and finish your meal before leaving?"
Wu Chen secretly thought, how can it be obvious to drive me away?
Helplessly, she gently pushed Su Qianqian away and said softly: "Qianqian, since there is no big problem with the head of the Su family, and it's not too early now, I should go back, otherwise maybe my mother will be worried." ”
"Brother Wu Chen, why don't you stay at the Su family and finish eating before leaving?" Su Qianqian's lowered cheeks were slightly crimson.
Before Wu Chen could answer, Su Bai said coldly: "No need Xiaoqian, Wu Chen has been out all day, and he must be eager to return home, so don't force him to stay." ”
Su Qianqian thought about it, so she didn't stay longer, but Wu Chen had 10,000 horses galloping in his heart, I am willing to stay! I am willing! I am willing! But as soon as I saw Su Bai's expression of "if you dare to stay, you will try", I had to dispel my thoughts.
After saying goodbye to the two, he hurried back to the Wu family, and his stomach was already growling.
As soon as I stepped into the entrance room, I saw Mu Siyu, Fu Bo and Xiao Ling, the personal girl, walking towards me.
Wu Chen looked at the few people in formal clothes and said suspiciously: "Mother, is there something to go out?"
Mu Siyu nodded and said, "The palace family invited the big and small families in Tianhe City to rush to the City Lord's Mansion, saying that they wanted to discuss the distribution of the family's share. ”
"But I've been at the Su family all day today, why didn't I see the Su family receive an invitation?"
Mu Siyu said in a slightly low voice: "The City Lord's Mansion did not invite the Su family, this time the Su family is afraid that they will not be able to hide." ”
"But why did the City Lord's Mansion choose such a late time to invite the major families?" Wu Chen said suspiciously.
Mu Siyu frowned, obviously also said with deep doubts: "I don't know very well, but it is indeed an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Fu Bo on the side interjected: "Young master, don't worry! There are old slaves by the side of the master of the family, even if those young people have any calculations, they will definitely be able to protect the master of the family." ”
Wu Chen nodded, and Fu Bo, who had broken the taboo, returned to the cultivation of the early stage of King Xuan, although the foundation was a little old, but it was an almost invincible existence in Tianhe City, which was not very big. ”
Looking up and seeing that it was getting late, Mu Siyu hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about me, no one in Tianhe City will do anything to me, the food is all left for you, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to see the situation, and strive to help the Su family a little bit." ”
Seeing that Wu Chen nodded, the three of them turned around and left, rushing to the City Lord's Mansion.
On this night, the slightly older family heads in Tianhe City all received invitations from the City Lord's Mansion, except for one, which was the Su family, one of the four major families in the West Mountain. ”
In the Hu's house, in the study room surrounded by walls on three sides, there are several figures standing in the forest, quietly waiting for something.
A tall man in black pushed open the wooden door, walked straight into the study, sat on the wooden chair, behind the man in black, followed by four men in black one after another, plus the four men in black, in addition to the tall man in black sitting on the wooden chair, there were a total of eight men in black in the study, and Hu Xiang, who was standing at the back, secretly looked at the man in black who came in behind, and almost dropped his jaw in shock, all of them exuded the breath of King Xuan, which made Hu Xiang feel panicked
The tall man in black, a hoarse voice sounded: "Tonight, the eight of you will enter the Su family from the four directions of southeast, south, northwest and north, remember one thing, do not leave any until you meet in front of the main building of the Su family." ”
The eight men in black knelt down in unison and replied, "Yes." ”
Only then did the tall man in black see the tiger standing at the back, and the tiger Xiang who looked at him with a piercing gaze felt numb in his heart.
After a while, the tall man in black spoke: "You go to the City Lord's Mansion in a while, and try to hold back those big and small families." ”
"Yes. Tiger Xiang knelt down, his forehead almost lowered to the bluestone slab.
"Go and prepare, each of you!"
Everyone in the study retreated silently. ”
The last tiger to go out, gently closed the wooden door, casually looked up and saw a strange full moon in the middle of the sky, one after another surprised tiger item, but a little strange, the tiger item who lowered his head asked himself for the first time what kind of thief ship he was on, but the tiger can only go one way to the dark, not that he can't get off the boat, but the price of getting off the boat is death.
Hu Xiang, who didn't think much about it, shook his spirit, raised his legs and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, where there were still many people waiting for him, one of the protagonists.
The tall black-clothed man sitting on the wooden chair, through the translucent gauze paper above the wooden door, could faintly see a faint red light, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a faint dark red floating, and his dark brown tongue stretched out, licked his upper lip lightly, and said to himself: "The blood moon is the head, waiting for a day, but it's really too long, too long." ”
Wu Mansion, Wu Chen, who was lying on the bed, turned over and over, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tianhe City was a little weird in the past few days, first a new tiger family appeared, and then the Su family declined, Su Yongshi was tricked by Su Qing, the chief housekeeper of the Su family, and then Su Qing's father and son died, no matter who looked, they knew that someone was deliberately dealing with the Su family, and the biggest suspicion was the Hu family.
The more he thought about it, the more confused it became, what Wu Chen couldn't understand was that if it was really the Tiger family, why did he go to such great lengths and unscrupulous means, could it be that it was really to trip up the Su family and squeeze into the ranks of the four major families? But the Hu family already had a background from the Heavenly Dao Mansion, and with the support of the City Lord's Mansion and many families, it was only easy to enter the four major families, and there was no need to do so at all, could it be that the Hu family had other plans? The more Wu Chen thought about it, the more likely it became.
Suddenly, something flashed through Wu Chen's mind, and after the sea space was opened, a silver-white whistle fell into Wu Chen's hand.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, remembering that he had made an appointment with an old man.
Placed on the side of the mouth and gently blown, the sound is not only not loud, but very low.
The sound waves, which were invisible to the naked eye, spread rapidly from the attic where Wu Chen was located, like ripples.
On both sides of a muddy path, there are random piles of tall and low dilapidated wooden houses, some of which even have wooden doors that are half and half, and the people who live there are also ordinary people at the bottom of the Xuanwu Continent, commonly known as ants.
Three or four ragged scavengers were dragging their tired bodies along the muddy path, and the few people seemed particularly quiet under the moonlit night, no one spoke, and there was no strength to speak.
An old man who walked at the back with a bent waist suddenly stopped, and a strange light suddenly flashed under his cloudy eyes, and the old man with a smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared into the procrastination team out of thin air.
The sound of the soles of their shoes on the mud was still ringing, and none of the people who walked in front of them would look back, caring about a thin old man who had suddenly joined them a few days ago, maybe a few people who were lying aside to rest in some free time tomorrow, maybe
Will vaguely wonder if there is one less person? But the mind will be left behind, after all, one more and one less, for them have long been used to it, who can be sure that the next person to disappear will not be themselves?
At the moment when the old man disappeared, a not-so-beautiful whistle sounded faintly in the minds of the three of them, but it was just a sound, and no one cared, and no one cared.
