CHAPTER XXXIX

Death threats

Out of the hotel, it was past noon, and the spring sun was shining warmly on the earth. There is not a trace of wind, so the sun shines on the person's body, which is somewhat stuffy.

To Fang Xin and Xiao Xue's surprise, they didn't encounter a single skeleton soldier along the way. They seem to have mysteriously disappeared, or rather, they never existed.

Whatever the reason, in short, those chilling skeleton soldiers really never appeared again.

A group of eight people, escorted by five unknown people, walked forward. As for the destination, no one knows.

'Damn, where are you going to take us?' Ruan Xiaotian was holding back the fire in his heart, and he yelled at the tiger next to him, "Fuck, kill people, just give a good time." A righteous and awe-inspiring look. In fact, his heart is empty, and he is afraid to death.

And before Ruan Xiaotian could finish nagging, Huzi smashed at Ruan Xiaotian with one shot. caused Ruan Xiaotian to stumble and almost fell. Fortunately, Shen Kuo was on the side and grabbed him.

When Ruan Xiaotian stands firm, his fire will come up, no matter what he is, he will have to settle accounts with Huzi. Fang Xin and Shen Kuo stopped him in time, so that he didn't make excessive moves.

Huzi was physically strong, and he didn't take Ruan Xiaotian, who was several years younger than him, in his eyes at all. Huzi raised his submachine gun without saying a word, as if to say: I have a gun, what can you do with me!

In the final analysis, in terms of Ruan Xiaotian's body shape, let alone comparing with Huzi, even with the little leopard, it can't be compared. One is tall and mighty, the other is as strong as an ox. Look at Ruan Xiaotian again, thin like a feather duster. From head to toe, nothing compares.

'Alright, Huzi, put the gun down.' Guo Xudong finally shouted and reprimanded, and an unexpected turmoil subsided.

Taihu Bay Hotel is located on the edge of Taihu Lake, so it doesn't matter if you're upstairs or downstairs. As long as you open your eyes, you can see the beautiful Taihu Lake.

The lake water is clear and sparkling. Under the light of the afternoon sun, it looks particularly charming.

Spring is a good season for travel, especially on the shores of this beautiful Taihu Lake.

It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery was ruined by a group of armed bandits. It is impossible to raise the interest of appreciation.

After walking for about ten minutes, Guo Xudong escorted them to the edge of Taihu Lake. Stepping over the guardrail, Fang Xin saw a boat docked on the shore.

The ship is not big, but it is definitely not small. Compared to the fishing boats that haunt the Taihu Lake, it is many times larger. After thirteen people got on the boat, it was definitely more than enough.

After the group arrived, Guo Xudong gave the order: 'Get on board!' So, under the threat of force, Fang Xin and the others had to get on board.

Everyone couldn't figure out what Guo Xudong was thinking in his head. Why are you on the boat, and where are you going to take them?

A large number of questions swirled among Fang Xin and his companions. I can't figure out what conspiracy Guo Xudong will come up with next.

The boat is indeed big, Fang Xin rarely takes the boat, and rarely touches the boat. Therefore, he did not know what exactly this ship was for.

The cabin is divided into two floors and is very clean. There is also a sofa and bed in the lower cabin, like a small living room. And Fang Xin and the others were escorted to the lower cabin.

After a while, the boat started and gradually sailed away from the shore towards the middle of the vast lake.

There is a closed window on each side of the lower cabin, the kind that cannot be opened. Through the window, Fang Xin clearly saw that the boat was gradually accelerating, and the waves were splashing on the hull.

After about five minutes, the speed of the boat was very fast, and it was already far, far from the shore. Fang Xin turned his face and asked Guo Xudong, who was lying alone on the bed leisurely: 'Where are you going to take us?'

Guo Xudong didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard anything, still lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

There were also three bandits with guns in the cabin, but Zheng Chuchen was the only one missing. Fang Xin was thinking, the one who drove the boat might be Zheng Chuchen.

And just like that, about another ten minutes passed. The ship was already far, far away from the shore, so far away that I could only dimly see the buildings on the shore. Only the small Mao Mountain in the distance is still clearly recognizable.

At this time, Guo Xudong suddenly sat up from the bed, startling everyone present. I saw him look at his watch, and then said to the person next to him: "Clerk, go and tell Zheng Chuchen to stop the boat!"

When the thin man called Clerical heard this, he immediately rushed out of the cabin. It didn't take long for Fang Xin to feel that the boat had really stopped, and it had stopped on the blue Taihu Lake.

Instrument? Fang Xin couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, sure enough, he was as good as his name. Looking at his weak appearance, I'm afraid even Fang Xin can defeat him.

Of course, Fang Xin is not stupid. Guo Xudong can recruit this person by his side, and he must have his advantages. Otherwise, Guo Xudong doesn't need to find a useless person.

Guo Xudong glanced at all the people present, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then said: "I know that you have a lot of problems, but in fact, it is very simple, I only want the bronze seal, and your life is worthless to me."

'You've worked so hard to bring us all the way to the lake just to tell us this?' Fang Xin was a little angry, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only endure it.

Ruan Xiaotian, who was holding back the fire in his belly, was even more popular at this time. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Guo Xudong's nose and scolded: 'I'll, you can give it if you say it. Tell you, Lao Tzu doesn't give it, what can you do with Lao Tzu!'

Huzi wanted to beat him with the butt of the gun again, but was stopped by Guo Xudong. He smiled weirdly and said, "Don't say it so much, you have to leave some room for people. Brother, think about the consequences of doing so.'

As he spoke, Guo Xudong gave the clerk who had just returned a look. Seeing the paperwork of the eyes together, without saying a word, he pulled Xiaoxue up, like dragging a dead pig, to drag Xiaoxue out of the cabin.

Xiaoxue shouted desperately, struggling desperately: 'What do you want to do, what do you want to do. Let go of me, let go of me, you bastard, where are you going to take me?'

However, Xiaoxue's struggle is useless for the paperwork. Because no matter how Xiaoxue struggles, the clerk has no intention of letting go at all.

Fang Xin, Ruan Xiaotian and Shen Kuo, the only three men in their group were naturally not to be outdone. They would never allow anyone to hurt Xiaoxue, especially Fang Xin.

However, they were all wrong, and they were all deceived by the appearance of the paperwork. They originally thought that it should be a breeze for three people to snatch light snow from one person's hands.

'Let her go, something is coming at me.' Fang Xingang shouted, but somehow, his feet suddenly ached, and he fell to the ground on his back all of a sudden.

Something happens in the blink of an eye. No one could see what was going on, the movement was so fast, unimaginably fast.

Fang Xin was helped up by Jingzhi. When he stood up, he noticed that Shen Kuo and Ruan Xiaotian were also inexplicably knocked down. Liu Ting and Du Zijuan are also supporting them.

Ruan Xiaotian sat back on the sofa and scolded: 'Damn, who did it, who did this?'

Who did this to you? It goes without saying that they all underestimated the polite documents. Guo Xudong has a certain reason for keeping him by his side. And he can subdue three men in an instant, not to mention the kung fu in his hands, you can imagine how much experience it is.

At this time, Xiaoxue has been taken out of the cabin by the mysterious paperwork.

Guo Xudong smiled coldly: "I said, I don't want to kill people, especially you. But if you still don't know each other and don't cooperate obediently, I can't guarantee that I won't go on a killing spree. You see, I will do what I say. Killing people here, God doesn't know it. Even if someone wants to avenge you, I'm afraid they won't be able to find the body.'

Xiaoxue's cry for help was still outside the cabin, and through the glass window of the cabin, Fang Xin saw that the document had brought Xiaoxue to the side of the ship.

Just when Fang Xin was worried about Xiao Xue, that cold-blooded and ruthless clerk without a trace of expression on his face, he didn't have any mercy, and actually pushed Xiao Xue into the lake mercilessly.

The icy water of the lake suddenly drowned the light snow and gradually disappeared into the clear water. The cold enveloped her, and she struggled, trying to get upstream. But everything is migratory. The snow sinks straight down like a stone.

Fang Xin saw this scene with his own eyes at the window. Not only him, but everyone saw this cruel scene through the window. They would never have imagined that the thin-looking clerk had such a vicious heart. Killing people is like killing chickens, without mercy.

Fang Xin, who was in pain, almost fainted, and he rushed towards Guo Xudong hysterically. However, the muzzle of the little leopard stopped him and forced him to sit back on the couch.

At this time, Fang Xin was in tears, and he stared at Guo Xudong with hatred: "Why are you doing this?" Why did you want to kill Xiaoxue? You said you wouldn't kill, you liar, big liar.'

Guo Xudong was expressionless and indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

Also shedding tears was Ruan Xiaotian: 'My sister, my sister Xiaoxue. Damn, Guo Xudong, even if Lao Tzu is dead, he will never hand over the bronze seal to you.'

After a cigarette was smoked, Guo Xudong flicked the cigarette butt. From his indifferent face, there was no joy or sorrow. He walked up to Fang Xin, lowered his head, and said coldly, "You hurt her, if you hand over the bronze seal early, there will be nothing going on. I said I didn't want to kill anyone, you forced me.'

Ruan Xiaotian was really angry, he stood up and roared: "Damn, you are a madman, pervert!"

Guo Xudong was also on fire, he raised his pistol and put it on Ruan Xiaotian's forehead. Ruan Xiaotian suddenly became dumb. Guo Xudong's cold voice sounded again: "Paperwork, next. As long as they don't hand over the bronze seals, push them one by one into the lake to feed the fish.'

After listening to the paperwork, he didn't say much, and picked up Teacher Hu Jie Hu from the sofa like a chicken.

Hu Jie may have been stunned, and her face turned pale. I didn't react until I was dragged to the hatch. Beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, and she couldn't wait to say, 'Don't kill me, don't kill me. I said I said, I told you all.' When she had finished speaking, she cried and tears rained down. She sat down on the ground as if she had lost her soul.

Guo Xudong's face finally showed a little smile: "That's right! If you know today, why bother in the first place! Tell me, where did you hide the bronze seal?'

'You can't get in at the Blood Gate, only I can get in.' Hu Jie said tremblingly. Faced with danger without warning, she seemed extremely frightened.

Guo Xudong hesitated for a moment, and only then said: "Hiding in the blood gate is indeed a good idea, no one can think of it, and no one can go in. Well, little leopard, you follow her to fetch it, and we'll wait on the boat. If you take it back, you can't get it back...... Hehe, the consequences will be severe.'

'Good boss.' The little leopard lifted the gun and wanted to escort Hu Jie out.

Placing the bronze seal inside the Blood Gate was Fang Xin's idea. At that time, although they didn't know what the Bronze Seal was for. But for the sake of insurance, hiding in the blood gate where no one can enter is the best policy.

This is also enough to prove that there are so many people who are threatening them to hand over the bronze seal. That's because these people couldn't find the bronze seal at all, so they could only ask Fang Xin for it.

However, no matter how well it is hidden, it will be empty in the end. Fang Xin didn't blame Hu Jie, in other words, anyone would be afraid of losing their lives, and he was no exception.

When the little leopard escorted Hu Jie out of the house, Fang Xin jumped out. He said, 'I will go with you, I am very uneasy with your men.' In fact, he was worried about Hu Jie. After the little leopard gets the bronze seal, who knows if these bandits will fulfill their promise.

Seeing that Guo Xudong didn't speak, Fang Xin said again: 'What, are you afraid? You've got guns, and we don't have any. Besides, your men are so good at kung fu, even if I have a weapon in my hand, I will definitely not be able to defeat him.'

Guo Xudong was really provoked, and he snorted coldly: "I'm afraid? Are you kidding. I'm not worried that you'll run unless you don't care about your friend's life or death at all.'

In this way, the little leopard escorted Hu Jie and Fang Xin and went down to a speedboat next to the big boat. The little leopard started the speedboat and sailed away from the big boat.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them came to the gate of the Watershed Forest Experimental Primary School. Looking at the silent school, Hu Jie was full of emotion. I don't know when I didn't see a single teacher or student in the school.

The little leopard doesn't seem to have a good temper. He waited at the gate for a while, and when he saw that Hu Jieren didn't look like he wanted to go in, he pushed Hu Jie and said, "What are you doing stupidly, go in and get it. Boss Guo is still waiting for us.'

Fang Xin glanced at the little leopard with disdain, his eyes full of hatred. But he said: 'Can I ask, what is the relationship between you and Guo Xudong?' Why do you listen to him, and why do you die for him?'

The little leopard seemed to be weighing the severity of the problem, but after the last moment, he said openly: "It's okay to tell you, we have an employment relationship with Boss Guo. He gives us money and we give him our lives. It's as simple as that.'

'He gave you money?' Fang Xin said in disbelief, 'If my guess is correct, the money he promised should be that batch of treasures, right?'

The little leopard suddenly laughed and laughed loudly: 'You are very smart, friend. He did promise that if he could find the treasure, he would share it with us. In this way, our brothers will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.'

'Do you believe in the existence of treasure?'

'I believe.' The little leopard said, 'Boss Guo gave a lot of evidence. If I could see the legendary bronze seal, I'd be more convinced.'

All along, Fang Xin always scoffed at any treasure, and he would never believe it. But judging from the current situation, it seems that the legendary treasure really exists.

So, where exactly is the treasure hidden?

As they spoke, the three of them entered the school. Walking through the cafeteria, we came to the power distribution room located on the north side of the school. I saw Hu Jie gently bite her index finger, and a drop of blood dripped on the blood door that originally looked like a wooden door.

It may be the first time a baby leopard has seen such a magical sight. His mouth was wide open in astonishment, his eyes bulging, and he looked completely unbelievable.

Blood-red blood swam in the grooves of the blood gate, and after a while, the entire blood gate also became bright red.

The blood door opened, Hu Jie just took a step forward, and the little leopard also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Fang Xin. He said politely, 'What do you want to do!'

The little leopard didn't expect Fang Xin to stop him, he immediately changed his face, and said politely, "I don't believe you, don't worry about her. What if she runs away after she gets in?'

When Fang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He said, 'If I were you, I wouldn't do that.'"

'For what?' The little leopard didn't understand.

Fang Xin didn't say anything more, he picked up a small branch from the ground and lightly touched the blood door. In an instant, the twig seemed to be melted, turned into a pool of blood, and fell to the ground. The little leopard was dumbfounded.

At this time, Fang Xincai said: 'If you go in so rashly, you will definitely die. Moreover, I can also tell you that within every blood gate, there is a guardian beast. Your gun doesn't do anything to it. In this world, only the owner of the guardian beast, that is, Hu Jie, who has just entered, can enter and exit freely. That's why we put the Bronze Seal inside the Blood Gate. Because only there is the safest.'

The little leopard was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and he came out with a cold sweat. He said gratefully, 'Thank you, thank you!'

Fang Xin was secretly happy, he couldn't imagine that he would be deceived so easily.

Blood Gate, Fang Xin once went in. That was when they were with Liu Ting. That is, as long as the blood door is opened, then, anyone can enter. But the little leopard doesn't know the inside story, so he was bluffed and stunned.

It didn't take long for Hu Jie to come out of the blood gate. At the same time, she also had four more yellow bronze seals on her hands. Although thousands of years have passed, the bronze seal still looks brand new, with an incomparably dazzling luster.

The little leopard hurriedly snatched the bronze seal and held it in the palm of his hand to admire. It didn't take long for him to say, 'This is the bronze seal!' Yes, yes, it looks like there's some kind of mystery to it. I don't know what the connection is between the bronze seal and the treasure.'

'Will you know what to do?' Fang Xin took out the brocade boxes taken out of the tomb from his satchel, put the bronze seals into it one by one, and said, 'Guo Xudong didn't tell you the reason?'

'Nope! We didn't know anything, he didn't tell us anything. He just told us that if we listened to him, we would be able to share in the inexhaustible treasures.' The little leopard looked a little aggrieved.

Fang Xin chuckled and said, "You guys, don't be deceived by him. I look at Guo Xudong, this person is very ghostly.'

'No, no, no.' The little leopard confidently said, 'He doesn't dare. If he dares to deceive people, our brothers will call him worse than dead. He understands this, and he won't come to nonsense.' After a pause, he asked curiously and mysteriously, 'Hey! Do you know the secret? Well, let my brother know first.'

Fang Xin and Hu Jie couldn't help but glance at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fang Xin said: 'I'm sorry, we don't know anything about you.'

When the little leopard heard this, his face immediately changed. He didn't say anything, snatched the brocade box, raised the muzzle of the gun, and said seriously: "Let's go, the things are in hand, let's go back quickly, Boss Guo is in a hurry."

The three of them got into the car, Fang Xin still drove, and Hu Jie sat in the co-pilot's seat. The little leopard was alone, with a gun in his hand, and sat in the back row.

The car rolled up the dust and drove away.

Not long after the car drove out, a petite figure appeared at the door of the elementary school. The man looked at the elementary school, and then at the car in the distance. Suddenly, the figure flashed and disappeared again. Come without a trace, go without a trace, elusive.

When they came to Taihu Lake, they changed into a speedboat, and the three of them rushed to the big boat in the center of the lake without stopping.

As soon as he got on the boat, Fang Xin said: 'The surname Guo, the thing was brought to you, now you can release the person!'

The reason why Fang Xin was so willing to hand over the bronze seal was mainly due to his considerations: first, whether there was a treasure or not, it was still just a legend, and there was no evidence. Second, whether there is a connection between the bronze seal and the treasure is anyone's guess. Third, even if there is really a legendary treasure, whether it can be obtained or not, whether it is dangerous is even more questionable.

Unexpectedly, all the people gathered in the cabin. At the door stood Huzi and the paperwork, and on the bed lay Guo Xudong. And Shen Kuo and them sat quietly on the sofa, their expressions very solemn.

Zheng Chuchen, who always had a weird smile on his face, sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing Fang Xin, he raised his hand and made the appearance of a pistol. Then, with a bang, it was like a shot at Fang Xin's head. After the last, he blew on his index finger and looked triumphant.

The little leopard carried the bronze seal, came to Guo Xudong, and said softly: "Boss Guo, I got the thing, do you want to take a look?"

Guo Xudong nodded, took the brocade box, and opened it to take a look. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. A greedy smile immediately appeared in the corner of his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but caress the bronze seal. The mouth of the mouth is praised: 'Good, good, great. Unexpectedly, the bronze seal ended up in my hands. Treasure, treasure, you have been asleep for a thousand years, and someone should open it for you. Jiang Han, you still can't fight me after all. What I want, no one can stop.'

Fang Xin saw that Guo Xudong couldn't put it down, so he didn't pay attention to his appearance, so he had to say again: 'Guo Xudong, the things have been handed over to you, you can release them!'

Guo Xudong seemed to have heard Fang Xin's words just now. He stood up with a big smile on his face. He walked to Fang Xin's side, patted Fang Xin on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, don't worry!" I said I'd let you go, and I'll let you go. Haha......'

His smile, now it seems, doesn't have a hint of intimacy other than creepy. Fang Xin couldn't help but stretch out a sense of foreboding. People like Guo Xudong, his words are worth believing.

There is only a little breeze on the surface of the lake, because the sun is very good, and all the sun on the body of the person is extraordinarily comfortable.

However, such good weather did not affect these people on board. They walked like they were walking in a storm of thunder and lightning, and they didn't know which way to go.

Guo Xudong walked out of the cabin, faced the warm sunshine, stretched comfortably, and said: "It's really a good weather, and it is also a very pleasant thing to die on such a sunny afternoon." With that, he walked to the cab.

When Fang Xin heard this, he knew that something was wrong. Guo Xudong really reversed his word, and his words didn't count. He tried to rush forward, but was held to the chest with a gun to the clerk. He had no choice but to shout: 'Guo Xudong, you said you let them go.'

Guo Xudong didn't look back, and as he walked forward, he waved his hand and said, "Give you a piece of advice, don't trust anyone's words except yourself. Especially someone like me, badass!' He put the word "badass" very seriously, as if to prove that he is a badass, not a good person.

Following behind him, Zheng Chuchen, who had just come out of the cabin door, grabbed Jingzhi, who was sitting in the outermost row. Grabbed her long hair and dragged it out. Jingzhi screamed in pain, snot and tears rolled out like spring water, and there was no strength to resist.

The others tried to help, but three submachine guns were pointed at them. Even if he wanted to help, there was nothing he could do, so he could only watch Jingzhi being dragged away by Zheng Chuchen.

Du Zijuan and Liu Ting couldn't stand it anymore, and turned their heads one after another, shedding tears. Ruan Xiaotian saw it and said angrily: "Damn, you're still not human!" Beasts!'

Jing Zhi was quickly dragged to the side of the boat by Zheng Chuchen, and Jing Zhi screamed in pain: 'Fang Xin save me, save me. I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die!'

Fang Xin just wanted to move, holding a gun against his paperwork and said coldly: "If you don't want to have two more holes in your body, it's best not to meddle in your affairs."

However, Fang Xin didn't understand what Zheng Chuchen wanted to do. Therefore, in the end, Fang Xin still didn't move.

Zheng Chuchen smiled coldly outside the cabin and said, "Lao Guo wants to kill you all, for fear that you will rob the treasure that belongs only to him. I think it's too cruel to you guys. So, I gave Lao Guo an idea.' As he spoke, he lowered his head to face Jingzhi's face that was pale with fear, lowered his voice and said, 'I will give you a path of hope for life, if you can swim back to shore......

What? Swim back to shore?

Before Zheng Chuchen's words were finished, everyone began to discuss. Ruan Xiaotian was the first to say: 'Damn, I'm going to die, I'm going to die. I can't swim, I can't swim!'

Liu Ting leaned on Shen Kuo's shoulder weakly, and tears had already spilled all over the ground. She choked up and said, 'Cousin, are we really going to die?' And Shen Kuo could only comfort her, and at the same time comfort himself and said: 'No, no, we won't die.'

Hu Jie and Du Zijuan may have been numb with fear, and they didn't say a word except tears of grief.

Everyone knows very well that the center of the lake is at least several kilometers away from the nearest shore. Not to mention them, even if they are Olympic champions, I am afraid they will not be able to swim that far. In other words, it's no different from shooting them.

Zheng Chuchen kept saying that he had let them go, and from his distorted personality, he was playing with them. He Zheng Chuchen didn't care about people's lives at all. He's a bloodless demon who kills people without seeing blood.

Just when everyone was talking about life and death, there was a plop outside the cabin. The ruthless Zheng Chuchen still pushed Jingzhi into the lake without mercy.

Jingzhi cried out for help twice in the lake and struggled twice. Then the lake is calm again. Then, Zheng Chuchen came to the hatch with a smile, pointed to Du Zijuan with a silent expression and said, "The next one is you, haha. I hope you don't know how to swim like her! It's not going to be fun.'

At this moment, Fang Xin stopped in front of Zheng Chuchen. He stared at Zheng Chuchen, and there was fire in his eyes. He said, 'I'll come first!' I'm going to frown, I'm not a man.'

Zheng Chuchen looked at Fang Xin in surprise and said, "Okay, okay. It's a guy and I like it.'

With Zheng Chuchen out of the hatch, Fang Xin stood on the narrow side of the boat, looking at the lake water as calm as a mirror. He hoped that on the way back to shore, he would be able to run into a boat before his life came to an end. Because only in this way can I really live and have the opportunity to seek revenge on Guo Xudong and them.

Without waiting for Zheng Chuchen to speak, Fang Xin said: 'You don't need to do it, I'll do it myself.' As he spoke, Fang Xin jumped into the lake.

A few minutes later, Zheng Chuchen came to the cab. Guo Xudong asked without looking back: 'It's all solved?' Zheng Chuchen said behind him, 'There is no one left!'

On Guo Xudong's face, a smile rose again. He laughed loudly and said, "If you want to fight me, they don't have the qualifications yet. Early in the morning, sail and let's go back.'

The group of five returned to shore and returned to the minibus that often haunted the town of Fenshuilin.

Guo Xudong just took out the key and was about to start the minibus. Suddenly, something flashed in front of me. However, what it was, he didn't see at all. Because it's so fast, it's unbelievably fast.

'Who?' (To be continued......)
