Chapter 357: Discussion and Deployment
Speechless all the way. After a cup of tea, the two arrived at the study of the head of the Ma family.
"Father, I called Chen Lei. Since the two of them were at the door of the study, they heard the voices of other people in the study besides Mark's father's voice, so Marco knocked lightly on the door and reminded his father inside.
"Come in. Hearing his father's promise, Ma Kecai brought Chen Lei into the study.
Chen Lei followed Marco into the study, and saw that in the study, in addition to Marco's father, there were two men in black in black suits, probably about the same age as himself, but he couldn't see the strength of the two of them.
"Chen Lei, sit down, don't be restrained. When the head of the Ma family spoke, he revealed the domineering aura of the superiors, which made people feel a pressure invisibly.
Chen Lei followed Marco to sit at the bottom, and the big family is full of red tape. Or follow Marco to do it, it is not easy to make mistakes, and the province was said by outsiders, although he is not afraid of causing trouble, but he is troubled to find himself.
Seeing that Chen Lei and Ma Ke had sat down, the head of the Ma family began to introduce: "Chen Lei, these two are the law enforcers of half of our islands, but they are also from our Ma family. ”
"The head of the family has won the award, my two brothers, if it weren't for your help, how could we have today's results. You can rest assured, as long as you snatch the Dao Tianshan Snow Lotus the day after tomorrow, our brothers will escort him back to Ma's house safely, as long as we can help, we will definitely go all out. "It's supposed to be the older brother who is talking.
"Okay, thank you in advance. There are very few people who can make the head of the Ma family say thank you, which shows that he takes a fancy to snatching the Tianshan Snow Lotus this time, which invisibly also reveals a kind of attention to Chen Lei.
The two brothers were flattered and hurriedly handed over their hands, indicating their efforts. After speaking, he withdrew from the study.
When Chen Lei saw the two of them leaving, he said to the head of the Ma family: "Family master, could it be that with their protection, won't the other families carry out a new round of robbery against us?"
The head of the Ma family immediately smiled and said: "Chen Lei, you don't know the legal system of our island, for our islanders, law enforcers are the representatives of the legal system, and their existence is to allow us to balance the two islands, or it can be said that they play a role in restraining each other, but at the demarcation point, there can be no fighting, this is a law that has been practiced for hundreds of years, once discovered, it will be wiped out." ”
"But at the same time, after hundreds of years of inheritance, whoever finally captures the Tianshan Snow Lotus, the law enforcer will be able to meet the conditions of the final winner. No matter how powerful the family is and how ambitious it is, it must be done according to the law. Otherwise, the whole family will be wiped out," the head of the family said here, also showing a solemn expression.
"Okay, let's talk about the day after tomorrow. As he spoke, the head of the house glanced at Marco.
Marco immediately understood, and he took out the map of the island that he had placed on his body and spread it out on the table. Since they had discussed it no less than ten times before, the route they finally decided on and the ambush they arranged were circled in red, making it clear at a glance.
Chen Lei probably understood the deployment on the map, so he said to the head of the family: "I don't have any other opinions, but there is one point, I hope the head of the family will solve the boy's doubts, why is the river below the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains also circled by a circle, what does this mean?"
Ma Ke looked at his father with inquiring eyes, and when he saw his father nodding, he explained to Chen Lei: "This is the illusory gate that our Ma family has been guarding, according to legend, it has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times, it is said that this is a shortcut to the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but the dangers encountered in it are unknown. ”
"Of course, this choice lies with you, you also know that if you follow the usual path to the Tianshan Snow Lotus, you will definitely be ambushed by other families, and we must pick them immediately when the Tianshan Snow Lotus grows the ninth most petals, if you hesitate, the petals of the Tianshan Snow Lotus will fall one after another, turn into pieces, and lose any value in the medicine. The head of the family said with a solemn expression.
Chen Lei couldn't help but be silent, and the room in the study was quiet, filled with a dignified atmosphere. Chen Lei asked, "Is there a condition to enter the Illusory Gate?" ”
When the head of the family heard Chen Lei's question, he finally showed a little smile: "You don't have to worry about this, you are already a member of the Ma family, so there are no conditions to speak of." But you don't have spiritual power, do you really want to go?"
"I have to go. Chen Lei insisted.
"Okay, then tomorrow, Marco will go on the road with you, so as to protect your safety, we promised you before, until you recover your spiritual power, we will protect you. Seeing that Chen Lei was so resolute, the head of the Ma family did not persuade him to give up, but asked Ma Ke to go with him in an unquestionable tone.
Chen Lei knew the kindness of the head of the Ma family, so he accepted it gratefully.
"Then I'll go back first and prepare the materials for tomorrow's climb. In case of danger, my herbs can still be effective. Now that a consensus has been reached, Chen Lei wants to go back and have a good rest, so that he can recuperate his spirits and deal with tomorrow's situation in the best condition.
"Go ahead. With the approval of the head of the family, Chen Lei left the study, and Marco remained in the study.
The head of the family knew that his son did not understand his arrangement, so he explained: "The Void Gate, it can not only lead to the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but it has always been a treasure land for the Ma family's cultivation, you have been stuck in the middle of Xiaocheng for a long time, and your father knows why you are like this, but Chen Lei and you pass through the Void Gate together, how can it not be an opportunity for you." ”
"I just don't like my father using Chen Lei, he is kind to us to save our lives. It can be seen that Ma Ke really treats Chen Lei as a brother.
But the head of the family didn't explain anything, he knew better than anyone else that Chen Lei was also using the Ma family. With just one glance, he could see that Chen Lei's spiritual power had recovered, and it was even stronger than before. But Chen Lei still did not tell the truth about his invisible temptation.
This has to cause him, as the head of the Ma family, but also a high-ranking person, to worry about his family, is it friend or foe, or is there another purpose?
Seeing that his father was no longer talking, Ma also got up and took his leave.
If Chen Lei knew that his concealment would make the head of the Ma family worry about the safety of the family, he would definitely laugh at the head of the Ma family for having paranoia of family persecution, his own strength in front of the head of the family is not worth mentioning at all, and where did he get the courage to be unfavorable to the Ma family.
After Chen Lei returned to the villa, he told Dragon Soul everything he had discussed in the study before, and asked if his decision was too hasty.
"Don't forget, the secret guards arranged for you by the old master, they will protect you by your side, and there are also you, Uncle Long, and me, what are you afraid of?"
