Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dong Family Mansion
"Sir, the carriage is ready!" the little maid knocked lightly on the door, then walked in, folded the clothes in her hands and put them on the bed in the room, looked at Xu Changqing who was sitting on a rattan chair with her eyes closed with great reverence, and asked, "Sir, do you have any other orders?"
Xu Changqing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the little maid, only to see that his eyes were emitting a faint white light at the moment, and there were no pupils, all of them were whites. The little maid was taken aback by the scene in front of her, but because she already knew that Xu Changqing was a powerful master a few days ago, the scene in front of her made her think that she must be casting a spell or something, so after being surprised, she was also very sensible and covered her mouth without screaming.
Xu Changqing's eyes gradually returned to normal, and the light became restrained, returning to the appearance of ordinary people, seeing that the little maid saw that the vision could restrain her panic and did not scream, she appreciated her concentration, nodded slightly, and said, "Zhang Ping, that kid, did you bully you?"
"Thank you Mr. for your guidance that day, the fourth young master is not so presumptuous. The little maid's face turned slightly red, lowered her head slightly, and said a little shyly.
"You put your head up and let me take a closer look. Xu Changqing suddenly commanded, the little maid raised her head when she heard the voice, and looked at him puzzled, while he looked at the little maid's face carefully, smiled slightly and said: "It seems that your ancestors have accumulated a lot of virtues for the younger generations! ”
The little maid began to hear Xu Changqing's words and immediately showed joy, but when she heard it, she couldn't help but be shy, thinking that Xu Changqing was teasing her, she couldn't help blushing again and lowered her head.
"Go down, and call the young master by the way. Xu Changqing didn't say anything more and ordered.
The little maid bowed down, and when she walked to the door, she stopped again, turned around, and looked at Xu Changqing with a look of wanting to say something, as if she had something to say. After Xu Changqing saw it, he asked with a little doubt, "Is there anything else?"
"That's not what I'm supposed to say. The little maid looked a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Sir, in the past few days in the murderous mansion, the young owner of the Dong family has come many times, and every time he said that he had something urgent to see you, but he was blocked by the young master. Later, the young master said that you have urgent matters to deal with, don't use these things to annoy you, and let everyone hide it from you. But I see that the young owner of the Dong family seems to be very anxious, the whole person seems to be a lot older these days, it seems that he must have something very important to see you, so I ......"
"Don't say it!" Hearing the little maid's words, Xu Changqing's face couldn't help but become gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many times has the young owner of the Dong family come to look for me?"
"Maybe seven or eight times a day!" The little maid saw Xu Changqing's face become ugly, and knew that she might be in trouble, so she quickly knelt down and pleaded for Chen Zhangping: "Sir, don't blame the young master, the young master will deliberately hide it for your own good, the young master is actually a very good person, and he is also very good to me, you must ......"
"You get up first. Xu Changqing didn't say anything, his face turned cold, he stretched out his hand to support it, and a soft force surged on the ground, lifted the little maid, and said, "You go down and call Zhang Ping up." ”
"Yes!" the little maid looked at Xu Changqing uneasily, took small steps, and ran downstairs quickly.
It didn't take long for Chen Zhangping to come to the door, obviously knowing from the little maid that the matter had been revealed, so he took a deep breath and walked in, and when he saw Xu Changqing, he immediately justified himself: "Sir, in fact, this matter ......."
"You don't have to say it!" Xu Changqing raised his hand to interrupt Chen Zhangping's words, and said indifferently: "I understand that your intentions are for my good, and I don't want me to be entangled in these troubles, but I hope this is the first time that your Chen family has interfered in my private affairs, and it is also the last time, do you understand?"
"Yes, Zhang Ping knows!" Although Xu Changqing said lightly, Chen Zhangping felt a gaze like a knife from his eyes, and suddenly his body involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat, and his head was lowered very low.
Xu Changqing retracted his gaze, sighed, and said in a serious tone: "My Yizhuang lineage has been associated with your Chen family for more than a hundred years, and although there have been contradictions and conflicts in getting along, they both stick to one and never interfere in each other's private affairs, even if they do, it is only to give a little advice, you need to remember not to jump over this bottom line." As he spoke, he patted Chen Zhangping on the shoulder again and said, "In addition, let me remind you that your little maid is a person with a deep fortune, and her face indicates that she can assist her husband in his career, as for what to do, you can consider it yourself?"
Chen Zhangping was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he nodded slightly and said, "Zhang Ping will think it through." ”
Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and then asked about the Charity Guild while changing his clothes, and after hearing Chen Zhangping say that it had begun to operate, he asked him to make things as big as possible if he could, and he had to emphasize that this was the righteous act of Master Shenmu. After that, Xu Changqing reminded him again that if he didn't come back from Beijing this time, or if he didn't send someone to send a message back, what should the Chen family do, Chen Zhangping also felt a trace of the strictness of things, and carefully wrote down every word of Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing put on the light cyan robe he was most accustomed to, and then put the rest of the clothes into his sleeves along with a few fake braids prepared by Chen Zhangping, and after going downstairs and walking out of the door, he thoughtfully looked at a small western-style building opposite the trading house, and then walked straight into the prepared European-style carriage, and ordered: "Dong Mansion in the French Concession Treasure Tutu Road." ”
The coachman answered, raised the whip in his hand, and the carriage slowly drove away from Wansheng Commercial Bank. Just when Xu Changqing's carriage left the firm, Xu Changqing looked at the small western-style building just now, quickly walked out of a few Qing people in Western clothes, stretched out his hand and boarded a carriage in front of the western-style building, and quickly followed in the direction where Xu Changqing left.
Xu Changqing had already guessed that someone would be following him, and through the natural ability of the bronze armored corpse, he detected the method of anger and sensed the movements of all the living people within a radius of five miles. At the moment, the carriage following behind was just an eye-catching ornament, and the real stalker was underground, and two ninjas who were at least at the upper ninja level used the technique of earth escape and quietly followed behind. Xu Changqing didn't plan to deal with them yet, but while using the ability to detect anger to monitor them, he was familiar with the use of this ability, and grasped every bit of time to become familiar with the various powers of the bronze armored corpse, after all, he was also the first person in the nineth-rate idler vein to refine the bronze armored corpse clone, and there was no previous experience to learn from.
"Sir, the Dong Mansion has arrived. It wasn't long before the carriage came to a slow stop, and the coachman put his head out the window to warn.
Xu Changqing nodded, took out some change from his sleeve, handed it to the coachman, asked him to buy some food by himself, and said that he would travel a long way into Beijing today, and he would not stop on the way. After giving the order, he stepped out of the carriage and looked at the garden villa in front of him, which had obvious Chinese and Western characteristics. The main building of the villa is a three-storey building, and there are two annexes on the left that are purely Western, and on the right is a private chapel surrounded by greenery and grass, and the outermost layer is a fence with a row of vertical spikes separating the inside from the outside.
"What are you doing? This is a private residence, you are not allowed to snoop without permission!" Just as Xu Changqing was looking at the villa in front of him, the Dong family's nursing courtyard came up, stopped in front of Xu Changqing, and warned.
For these subordinates, Xu Changqing didn't plan to entangle too much, his right hand concealed the body seal, ran the true yuan, secretly cast a spell, and then walked straight inside. Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't listen to the advice, the nurse's face immediately changed, and he was about to reach out and want to grab Xu Changqing, but at this moment, he felt that his body seemed to be out of control, as if there was an invisible rope binding him tightly. Just when the nurse was fixed by Xu Changqing with a spell, the companions behind him did not notice that something was wrong, until Xu Changqing walked to the gate of the Dong Mansion and pushed the door in, the people guarding the door and the surrounding courtyard all felt that something was wrong, and they stepped forward to stop it. However, as soon as the dozen or so people took two steps, their bodies all froze, and they all remained in one posture like stone sculptures, and the expressions on their faces all showed a look of horror.
After passing by the guards at the door, Xu Changqing walked through a short section of woods and walked to the sheep intestine path in the Dong family's garden, which was a lot of servants who worked in the Dong family, and all looked at the stranger in front of them with some surprise, wondering why the guards in front of him would let him in. Although everyone had doubts, no one had the courage to come forward and ask questions, and finally a person who looked like a housekeeper who was directing her subordinates to clean the courtyard walked up. The housekeeper walked up to Xu Changqing and saluted him, just about to ask Xu Changqing's identity, but Xu Changqing asked first, "Is Mr. Dong Zhenyu at home now?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, although she resisted in her heart, but she couldn't help but say, "The young master is taking care of the little master with the master in the nephrite jade building." ”
After speaking, as if he was afraid that Xu Changqing would not know the place, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the small western-style building on the left.
After Xu Changqing saw it, he nodded slightly to the housekeeper, thanked him, and walked slowly towards the western-style building.
At this time, some of the servants who were watching immediately surrounded the housekeeper and asked Xu Changqing's identity in a gossiping manner, and the housekeeper was stunned for a long time before she said in a trance: "I don't know his identity at all? Before I could open my mouth, he asked me if the young master was at home now?" ”
"What?" A middle-aged maid who seemed to have a good relationship with the housekeeper said urgently, "Sister Lian, you don't even know the identity of the other party, why do you answer his question?"
The housekeeper's face also turned pale, and she said, "I don't know why, but when he asked me, I couldn't help but say it." ”
"What's going on here? What are you all doing together?" At this time, an old man in a short coat and a crane boy came over, and when he saw Xu Changqing's back, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he became much gloomy, and instructed the housekeeper: "You immediately take someone to the front door to have a look, no matter what you see, don't make a fuss, just stay at the door." ”
"Yes, Elder Zhang!" The identity of this old man seemed to be quite respected in the Dong family, and the housekeeper followed his instructions without the slightest hesitation, leading a few people towards the front door, while the old man quickly chased after Xu Changqing.
"Kid surnamed Xu, don't you think it's enough to hurt the young lady?" the old man shouted four or five meters behind him when he was about to catch up with Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing heard the voice, stopped, turned his head to look over, saw the old man was slightly stunned, and saluted the old man: "Senior Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The old man in front of him is also Xu Changqing's old acquaintance, his name is Zhang Tiezheng, he used to be a horse thief in northern Shaanxi, and his martial arts cultivation is also ranked among the top in secular martial arts, but later he was betrayed by his companions and was captured. On the day of the beheading, the Sheng family was rescued by the head of the family and was able to get out, and then for the rest of his life, in order to repay the Sheng family's life-saving grace, he became the Sheng family's guard incognito, until today, and the Sheng family has never treated him as a servant and treated him sincerely. When Sheng Qingping was arranged by Sheng Lao to live in Chen Jiachong, Zhang Tiezheng also took care of her in Chen Jiachong. After that, he was also clear about the things between Xu Changqing and Sheng Qingping, and on the night of Xu Changqing's escape, he broke into Peach Blossom Mountain to ask for the guilt, and was trapped by Xu Changqing's master with the Peach Blossom Mountain Formation, which made him scold in the Peach Blossom Mountain Array for three days and three nights, and only when he had only half a life left, he left Peach Blossom Mountain under the persuasion of Sheng Qingping. For the old man's perseverance and loyalty, not only Xu Changqing's master admired, but even Xu Changqing also deeply admired, so even if the old man spoke ill of him, Xu Changqing treated him with courtesy.
"I'm not your senior, bastards like you are not welcome here, you leave me immediately!" Although Zhang Tiezheng knew that his martial arts would never be able to cause any harm to Xu Changqing, he still jumped in front of Xu Changqing and said angrily.
Xu Changqing's face was always indifferent, without the slightest anger, and said: "Senior Zhang, it seems that I am not the master of the Dong family, I came here at the invitation of Mr. Dong Zhenyu." After a pause, he added, "Although I was indeed considered a great sin back then, no one else is qualified to blame me except for compassion. ”
"No matter what qualifications you have or not, I will never allow you to get close to Miss and Miss's family again. Zhang Tiezheng ignored Xu Changqing, sat on his horse with his waist down, stretched out his arms, and made a gesture of a strong King Kong palm, wanting to block Xu Changqing's path by force.
Xu Changqing looked at Zhang Tiezheng's unrelenting appearance, couldn't help sighing, shook his head, and suddenly cast a ghostly spirit, disappeared from Zhang Tiezheng's face in an instant, and appeared almost at the same time more than a dozen feet behind Zhang Tiezheng, and continued to walk slowly towards the western-style building. When Zhang Tiezheng saw that Xu Changqing had bypassed him, he wanted to raise his legs to chase after him, but at this moment, dozens of vines of different thicknesses suddenly rushed out of the ground, tightly wrapping his feet, making him unable to move. He screamed and stooped to untie the vines, but every time he broke one, another one would come out of the ground and tie his foot, so anxious that he could not help but cry out loudly, and the crowd gathered around him to help.
