"Chapter 41: The Challenge"
Xuantian heard someone shouting outside, and immediately put down his job and ran out, and Xu Laohan also rushed out with Xuantian's pace.
The two walked outside the door and saw Zhang An covering his face and turning in circles. Xuantian ran to his side and saw that blood kept flowing out of his hands, and immediately asked, "What happened?" ”
Zhang An endured the pain and raised his hand, pointed to the arrow on the door, Xu Laohan said to Xuantian: "You first help Xiao Anzi into the house to rub the medicine." ”
Xuantian helped Zhang An into the house, just as Xu's wife came out of the room, she saw Zhang An with a bloody face, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Xuantian hurriedly said: "Grandma Xu, don't ask so much, go get the medicine!" ”
Xu Laohan pulled out the arrow, found that there was a wooden pipe tied to the arrow, so he took it off, and after opening it, he found that there was a small note inside.
"Fortunately, the wound is not very deep, apply some medicine, and it will be fine in a while." Mrs. Xu comforted Zhang An and told him not to worry. At this time, Xu Laohan immediately took the note and ran to Xuantian's side, "Little Tianzi, look at it." Xuantian took the note and read the contents carefully.
The general content of the note is: Only one person can be exchanged with Huo Lan, so that if you want to save more people, you must duel with their chief manager Pan Hu, and if you win, you will be released. Tomorrow afternoon, bring Huo Lan and see you on the southwest slope.
"I can only change one person, this Huo Zhennan and Pan Hu are really insidious, do you obviously want us to have infighting!" Zhang An said angrily.
Xu Laohan also sighed: "Yes, if this matter is known to the village, there will definitely be chaos, everyone must want to save their relatives first, and a dispute is inevitable." ”
"Grandpa, what are you afraid of, didn't it say that as long as I beat that Pan Hu, I can release everyone! Just talk about one person now, and everyone will be saved in the end anyway. Xuantian patted his chest and put on a confident look.
Xu Laohan hurriedly said: "Little Tianzi, don't dare to be careless, that Pan Hu is not so easy to deal with, besides, the ghost knows if they will set up an ambush on the southwest slope, in case they fall into their trap..."
Xuantian suddenly became a little impatient and interrupted Xu Laohan's speech: "I said grandpa, you are worried about here for a while, and you are worried about there for a while, when will this person be rescued!" Don't be so verbose, I must go to this challenge, don't say more. ”
Xu Laohan saw that he couldn't beat Xuantian, so he had to nod helplessly: "Okay then!" But who do they exchange for this fat man? ”
As soon as this question came out, everyone present fell into silence, and after a while, Zhang An finally opened his mouth to break the frozen atmosphere: "Uncle Xu, I don't want the people in the village to know about this matter, just save your grandson Haotian first!" If you hadn't brought this young man back to the house, there wouldn't have been any of these things. ”
After listening to Zhang An's speech, Mrs. Xu was very excited, and immediately grabbed Xu Laohan's arm and said, "Yes! Old man, don't hesitate, don't you want to see Haotian again? ”
Xu Laohan's eyes were already red and swollen, tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Okay then!" Just do what Xiao Anzi said! ”
"But how did you get this news to them?" Zhang An touched his head in distress.
Xuantian said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, how did they send it to us, we will send him back." ”
······
Huojiazhuang, in the conference hall, an old man who is wide and fat, nearly half a hundred years old, keeps turning around in place, this person is the owner of Huojiazhuang, Huo Zhennan.
When Huo Zhennan heard that his son was arrested by those villagers, he was so anxious that he was furious, and he accused Pan Hu of it: "You are a big manager, what do you eat, how could such a thing happen?" How many times have I told you to give Lu Feng and them your true skills, but you, you just don't listen. ”
Pan Hu sat on the chair steadily, his face was like water, and there was no look of shame on his face, "Didn't you just catch it!" It's not enough to save it, and it's not dead, depending on your virtue. ”
Huo Zhennan trembled with anger, and wanted to scold, but thinking that his son still had to rely on him to save him, he endured it, returned to his seat, and sat down steadily.
Obviously, Pan Hu didn't respect Huo Zhennan very much, if it weren't for Huo Zhennan who had funded him and was afraid of his powerful nephew, otherwise how could he easily bow to Huo Zhennan and succumb in front of him for so long. Fortunately, Huo Zhennan has been polite to him over the years, and he has not embarrassed him, and when he distributes profits at the end of the year, he has given him a lot. Therefore, Huo Zhennan has been stable in recent years, and he has respected him for three points in front of everyone, and he has also given Huo Zhennan enough face.
Huo Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "You don't discuss it with me, just make your own decisions and let them change one, if they don't want to, won't Lan'er be in danger!" ”
"Don't worry, they won't hurt your son until their relatives are rescued, besides, I gave them a chance, as long as they defeat me, we will release them."
"And what if they don't come?"
Pan Hu laughed and said, "I said the owner! You're in a hurry! If they want to live a completely stable life without subduing me, will they be able to do so? ”
Huo Zhennan nodded: "It's the same!" Then I immediately called people to prepare, set up an ambush near the southeast slope, and when Lan'er was rescued, I would wipe them out. ”
Pan Hu slapped the table suddenly, "No, I'll go alone, if you want to come, just bring a few guards." I beat him up with a doll, and I want to use such despicable means, are you insulting me? ”
Huo Zhennan couldn't help but not get angry, this guy didn't take my son seriously at all, but he was still very confident in Pan Hu's strength, so he could only compromise: "Okay then!" Everything is arranged by you, I only ask for one thing, to guarantee the safety of my son's life. ”
"Okay, okay, I know." Pan Hu said impatiently.
At this time, a man suddenly ran in from the outside, and hurriedly said: "The owner, the chief manager, there is an arrow shot from outside the village, and a wooden pipe is attached to it, and there is a note in it, and the owner and the chief manager are invited to look at it." ”
Pan Hu took the note, opened it very casually, and read it carefully. "What does it say?" Huo Zhennan hurriedly asked.
"They accepted my challenge, saying that they were going to exchange with someone named Xu Haotian, Xu Haotian..." Pan Hu rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly snorted and said, "It turned out to be that kid, interesting." ”
"Who is this Xu Haotian?" Huo Zhennan stepped forward and asked.
"This Xu Haotian is the son of the demon hunter Xu Feng, who has been very dishonest since he was captured by us, beating people when he sees them, and shouting for revenge all day long. After being taught by me once, I never made any more trouble, and now I am honestly working. ”
Huo Zhennan touched his beard and said to the man who had just come over: "Go, bring that kid named Xu Haotian here." ”
After a while, two guards approached the hall with a young man who was skinny, dark-skinned, not very tall, and had a chill in his eyes.
"Untie him." The two guards let go of the rope tied to Xu Haotian's hand.
Xu Haotian turned his wrist and immediately knocked the guard on the left to the ground with a punch, and the guard on the right immediately pulled out the knife, but Xu Haotian grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard, snatching the knife in his hand. With a knife in hand, he cut the guard to the ground.
Huo Zhennan was frightened by the flow of urine on his buttocks, and immediately got under the table.
A stream of blue true qi wrapped around the knife in Xu Haotian's hand, Xu Haotian stared at Pan Hu deadly, and shouted: "The old thief of the Pan family, you return my father's life." Before the words fell, he picked up the knife in his hand and rushed straight towards Pan Hu······
