Chapter 290: Usurpation
Three days later.
Hong Chen and the others came out of the mountains and forests, and when they went to the nearby village, they inquired, and this was no longer in the mountain market, but in the suburbs of Yuan City, which was next door to the mountain market.
"Master, you really guessed it, I haven't met a single person from the Blood Eagle in the past three days, and I haven't even seen a single signal flare." Walking on the village road, Zhong Lingyun looked at Hong Chen with a sideways face, and there was a hint of brilliance in her eyes.
After Hong Chen woke up that night, he said that the Blood Eagle's pursuit of her was likely to end, and Zhong Lingyun was still skeptical, and the next facts proved that Hong Chen's prediction came true.
"The twelve people of the Blood Eagle were present that night, since I let you go, in fact, I have already given up, and there is only one possibility to chase and kill afterwards, the gold lord has increased the bounty, it is not enough to increase the bounty, but also the Blood Eagle has the ability to eat this order, and if these two conditions are met at the same time, I don't think the probability is high."
Hong Chen explained casually, groaned slightly, and said, "On the contrary, there is a possibility, and the probability is extremely high." ”
"What?"
Hong Chen looked up at the sky, looking unfathomable, seeing that Zhong Lingyun was anxious for a while, and the silver teeth grinded "gurgling".
"Master, do you want me to rub your shoulders in the future?"
After a while, hearing Zhong Lingyun suddenly ask, Hong Chen's eyes lowered, but he saw Zhong Lingyun beside him imitating his appearance, looking up at the sky with a thoughtful expression.
Hong Chen couldn't cry or laugh a little, after a few days of getting along, the two got acquainted with each other a lot, and Zhong Lingyun joked with him more and more frequently, which means that he is less and less interested in the majesty of his master.
"I'm going to give you a call and ask." Hong Chen stopped, took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and pointed to his shoulder while dialing.
Seeing this, Zhong Lingyun puffed out her cheeks, and reluctantly stretched out her hands and put them on Hong Chen's shoulders.
Hong Chen's phone call was to Tank, and he talked about the situation in the past few days, and then asked about it, and the call lasted for about ten minutes.
After hanging up, Hong Chen said: "The probability is extremely high that the blood eagle concealed the truth when it returned to the gold owner, only saying that it did not find you, and now even if the gold owner is not 100% sure that you are dead, he will no longer treat you as a threat, at that time you broke your arm, and you were seriously injured, and if you were not treated in time, the injury will only worsen, and after a few days, if you don't die, you will become a waste, even if you are lucky enough to escape, one day it suddenly appears, and it will not change anything." ”
Seeing Zhong Lingyun's face as if he didn't understand, Hong Chen explained: "The friend I asked used to be in the underground world, he knew about the Blood Eagle, but he didn't know it deeply, but there is one thing, the underground world organizations are all very purposeful, they are not hateful to hunt you down, but for the commission, you broke your arm that night, and finally I saved you because I held Zhong Fei hostage, in a sense, the mission of the Blood Eagle has been achieved, and the fault lies on the side of the gold owner." ”
"In the next few days of searching, as long as the blood eagle says that no trace of you has been found, the gold owner must cash out the commission, in addition, the blood eagle will also hide the truth for his own reputation, and the truth at that time, except for the blood eagle people, there is only me, the probability of the gold lord finding me for verification is almost zero, don't forget, I am a mountain savage."
Zhong Lingyun silently digested it, and her eyes lit up: "Then now, Fu Youyou is likely to have returned to the family..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and Hong Chen stretched out his hand to stop him: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I'll call home."
"Don't do it yet, let's go back to the bull market, inquire about the situation, and then decide what to do next."
Zhong Lingyun thought about it and nodded silently.
After leaving the village and walking a few kilometers, Hong Chen and the others finally called a taxi, which took more than three hours, and when they returned to the bull market, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Hong Chen arranged for Zhong Lingyun to stay in the hotel, and he went to Cao's house alone.
Cao Yongnian's face was not very good, according to the agreement between him and Hong Chen, three days ago, Hong Chen should have come over to treat Cao Shuyun's leg injury, but he didn't want Hong Chen to disappear, no one was seen, and even his mobile phone was turned off, which made Cao Yongnian feel like he was being played.
However, he didn't say anything unpleasant, after all, everything was for his daughter's leg injury, and being able to heal it was the key.
After a few simple greetings, Cao Yongnian took Hong Chen to Cao Shuyun's room.
Ten minutes later, after Hong Chen finished applying the needle, Cao Shuyun stood up from the wheelchair and walked back and forth a few times, overflowing with joy. 62
Unlike the last time when she needed to be supported and her legs were weak, this time, Cao Shuyun fully recovered her ability to walk, and her gait was undoubtedly the same as that of a normal person.
Seeing this, Cao Yongnian and his wife finally showed a happy smile, and their dissatisfaction with Hong Chen disappeared as their daughter's legs healed.
"Miss Cao, as I said last time, you have affected the health of other parts of your body because of your legs, and I will prescribe you a pair of medicines for half a month."
Hong Chen finished writing a prescription and handed it over: "The list is all conventional medicinal materials, which can be bought in pharmacies on the market." ”
Cao Yongnian took it for his daughter and glanced at it a few times, carefully put it away, and nodded gratefully: "Mr. Hong, thank you." ”
Hong Chen casually mentioned: "The head of the Cao family, Ling Qianjin and the young master of the Zhong family are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love, and now that they are recovering, there should be no problem with this marriage." ”
Cao Yongnian was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unnatural, and after a while, he returned to normal and said vaguely: "They are not very old at two years, this matter is not in a hurry, there is no urgency." ”
Cao Shuyun suddenly said, "Dad, the Zhong family..."
Before she could continue, Cao Yongnian interrupted: "Shuyun, it's not early, your legs are just right, you need to rest more, go to sleep quickly." ”
Cao Shuyun was silent for a moment and responded.
Hong Chen saw her sad face in his eyes, didn't say anything, and after following Cao Yongnian and his wife out of the room, Hong Chen spoke: "Master Cao, there is something I want to talk to you about alone. ”
Cao Yongnian and his wife glanced at each other, Cao Yongnian nodded, took Hongchen to the study, and asked the maid to make tea.
Hong Chen drank two sips of tea and said apologetically: "Master Cao, I just have an urgent matter to do these days, and I expected it to be three days, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for three more days, I'm really embarrassed." ”
Cao Yongnian shook his hand absently and said a few polite words.
Subsequently, Hong Chen turned to the topic: "I want to buy a few medicinal materials, but there are no pharmacies on the market, and the grievances between me and the Zhong family have not been resolved, and I want to ask the head of the Cao family to come forward for me." ”
Cao Yongnian didn't agree immediately, his face was embarrassed, his brows furrowed slightly, Hong Chen saw it in his eyes, and said: "Now that Miss Cao has recovered, the marriage with Young Master Zhong is ironclad, and the Cao Zhong family will be in-laws in the future, as long as the head of the Cao family opens your mouth, the Zhong family will not give face." ”
Cao Yongnian glanced at Hong Chen, and suddenly said, "Mr. Hong, you really don't know anything about the situation of the Zhong family?" ”
Hong Chen shook his head blankly.
Cao Yongnian took a sip of the water cup and said slowly: "According to the matter of the Zhong family, it is inconvenient for me to say anything, but if you ask me to help, it is necessary for me to explain, so as not to misunderstand." ”
"I heard a news from within the Zhong family, the credibility is ninety percent, the Zhong family had a conflict of interests with people outside the city, and then there was a conflict, and as a result, all the martial artists of the Zhong family were abolished, including Zhong Lingyun."
After a pause, Cao Yongnian's tone was a little lower: "Now there are few martial artists left in the Zhong family, and the one who can hold the beam is Fu Youyou's three products, tomorrow Saturday, at noon, it will be Fu Youyou's son and the daughter of the Xu family's head of the family to have a wedding banquet...." ”
After a pause, a hint of ridicule flashed at the corner of Cao Yongnian's mouth: "In the entire bull market in the past, if you want to say who has the worst relationship with the Zhong family, it must be the Xu family." ”
Hong Chen's eyes narrowed, the relationship between the Zhong family and the Xu family was bad, and now there was a problem with the Zhong family, and a martial artist was abolished.
"What does the head of the Cao family mean that this Fu is friendly and traitorous to the enemy?"
Cao Yongnian's face was as deep as the sea, his eyes flashed a few times, and he slowly shook his head: "The word traitor to the enemy is not accurate, Fu Youyou himself is a third-grade martial artist, and he has served the Zhong family for more than ten years, and his status is higher than that of some direct children, second only to the old man, Zhong Qisheng, Zhong Qiming, several of the most core figures, for example, it is similar to the prime minister of the imperial court, a very popular minister, he has reached the top, he betrayed the Zhong family and threw himself into the Xu family, and it is impossible to improve his status." ”
"As his son, marrying the direct daughter of the first-line family of the bull market is not high-climbing, in a sense, it can also be seen as a marriage between the Zhong family and the first-line family."
After that, the conversation changed: "But the problem is that the object is the opponent of the Zhong family, the daughter of the Xu family, or the daughter of the head of the family, besides, I haven't heard that Fu Youyou's son and the daughter of the Xu family are in a relationship before, this marriage is sudden, I think, the biggest possibility is that Fu Youyou and the head of the Xu family set it privately, it is said that the Zhong family will definitely oppose it, and it is impossible for Fu Youyou not to know how serious the consequences of losing the trust of the Zhong family are, it is like a prime minister who has lost the trust of the emperor, but he still does it." ”
"That can only mean one point, he wants to usurp the throne, and through the marriage of his children, he will bring in the help of the Xu family to help him usurp the throne!
