Chapter 217: The Old Affair of the Dart Game
The old man looked up, revealing his eyes covered by unkempt hair, and his face was also wounded, all old scars. Although it didn't hurt the eyes, nose and mouth, it was serious enough to be disfigured.
His legs were crippled and his face was ruined, but there was still light in his eyes, and his spirit was still there.
"Where's the child?"
"At Brother Ayi's house, I'll come over and ask first to see if you are willing to stay with Bao."
If he refuses, I will go back and say that I have found the wrong person, so that the child will not be sad.
"Bring him here."
Tao Baye said this to Ah Yi, and Ah Yi answered and turned around and went home.
"Please come in." Tao Baye then extended an invitation to me standing at the door.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, a puppet flew out of the haystack, the height of a real person, and his hands were replaced by double hammers, and he did not hesitate to come at me.
I didn't want to use the ability in front of Tao Baye, but when I saw that the puppet was fighting for a while, I didn't destroy the puppet, it stopped by itself, and still flew back into the haystack.
Don't look at the puppet's ruthlessness, but Tao Baye has no killing intent towards me, he should be tempting.
"You're not from the Seashas."
"I am their enemy."
Tao Baye put his mind at ease, with a little more smile on his face, and apologized for the rudeness just now.
"Understand, the rivers and lakes are sinister, it's always right to be cautious."
"Miss Ann, please take a seat."
There are many objects in Tao Baye's yard, most of which are broken pots and pans and furniture from villagers' homes.
Ah Yi led Tao Ah Bao over, and I just sat down and beckoned to Ah Bao.
"This is your eighth grandfather."
"Hello Grandpa Eight."
Ah Bao greeted him with a decent salute and bowed deeply to Tao Baye.
"Okay, good, Ah Bao has grown so big...... Tao Baye's eyes were a little moist, and he pulled Tao Ah Bao over and stroked the top of his head.
Tao Baye asked Ah Bao if he remembered what happened at home, and Ah Bao told him that there were bad people in the village, and his grandfather asked him to hide and take revenge when he grew up.
Tao Baye and Tao Wuye look very similar, especially the eyebrows and eyes.
The original body saw Tao Wuye many years ago, and he is seven points similar to today's Tao Baye.
It's just that the temperament of the two is completely different.
Listening to Tao Baye's tone, he knew Tao Abao's existence, and it was not like he had completely cut off contact with Tao Wuye.
Tao Wuye knew where he lived, and he knew Tao Abao's birth.
The brothers did not break up completely, as rumored to be.
The grandfather and grandson talked next to each other for a while, and Tao Baye didn't know that Ah Bao's parents were dead, so it can be seen that although he and Tao Wuye had contact, it was not frequent.
Knowing that the Tao family only had one single seedling left, Tao Baye sighed deeply.
He has no wife and no children, he was going to be in this mountain but he was left alive, who knew that Tao Wuye's family suffered this catastrophe, and now he has become Bao's only relative.
"The rivers and lakes... I warned him a long time ago. Tao Baye's eyes were moist, and his tone was quite helpless.
"Do the Tao family have a grudge against the Haisha Gang? They seemed to be looking for something, but they didn't find it. "When I came, Tao Baye suspected that I was a member of the Haisha Gang, it is said that the Haisha Gang has no relationship with him, and he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, so there should be no involvement between the two.
When Ah Bao just retold Tao Wuye's last words, he didn't mention the Dragon Palace Order, I don't know if this little guy forgot or deliberately concealed it, so he only said that he saw the Haisha Gang rummaging through the cabinets in Tao's house.
"It all started with a dart trip many years ago."
Tao Baye stroked Ah Bao's head, recalling a past event that happened a long time ago.
At that time, the head of the Wan Bodyguard Bureau was still Tao Ying, the father of Tao Wuye and Eighth Master.
Tao Wuye just started to follow his father and was in the practice stage.
Tao Baye is still young, but he can already remember.
He remembered that one night, it was pouring rain, lightning and thunder, and he couldn't sleep, because he was afraid, he quietly ran to Tao Wuye's house, wanting to squeeze in with his brother for a night.
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly knocked on the door, saying that there was a dart that needed to be transported by Tao Ying himself.
Tao Baye was deeply impressed, firstly, the thunder was terrifying at that time, and secondly, the customer threw a golden beast head from outside the door and smashed it straight into the yard, smashing the ground into a big hole.
He ran out of the house to look, and saw the head of the golden beast the size of a lion's head.
He was stunned, because there was only one person outside the door who spoke, and the other party could throw a solid gold nugget the size of a lion's head into the courtyard, and that was what a human arm could do?
In other words, why would someone with such ability need to hire someone else to dart?
At that time, Tao Baye was still a child, and his ideas were relatively simple, and he had never been far away or seen characters calling for wind and rain on the rivers and lakes.
He didn't expect his father to refuse to escort the other party's goods and ask the other party to take back the 'money'.
It was a long time before he learned that no one would build a pure gold monster statue in an ordinary house or in the palace, and this kind of thing would only appear in the tomb.
It is not the tomb of ordinary princes and nobles, it must be from the tomb of the monarch and the tomb of the emperor.
No matter which emperor's tomb the other party dug up in Fengqi, it was the crime of the Nine Clans.
What's more, the goods that the other party wants to transport are also dug up from the tomb nine times out of ten.
However, the visitor did not give up, he grabbed the little brothers who came out to watch the excitement, and threatened Tao Ying with their lives.
It's strange here, Tao Ying didn't take precautions in advance, but the other party's body was like smoke and wind, even though the Tao brothers had already hid back in the house, they were still held hostage by that person.
Tao Ying wanted to stop it, but he didn't even have a chance.
The opponent's martial arts are far above him, and he can be said to be a monster-level master.
Such a master, why do you have to have the Wan Bodyguard Bureau to deliver goods for him?
knew that there was a big trouble hidden here, but Tao Ying had to agree to save the lives of his two sons.
The next day, there was a rumor on the rivers and lakes that Tao Ying had accepted a lot of money and escorted the Dragon Palace Order for the mysterious person.
Tao Ying originally didn't know what was in the black box given to him by the mysterious person.
Generally, the money is given to a certain amount, and the customer can not tell the dart board what the goods are escorted.
As soon as the rumors came out, Tao Ying knew that he was indeed in big trouble.
The Dragon Palace Order is said to be the key to unlock the treasure of the Dragon Palace, similar to the access card.
It is conceivable how many robbers Tao Ying will encounter on the escort road.
But the two sons were still in the hands of the mysterious man, so he had to take this trip with his life.
It's just that he just went out for a day and returned to the dart game, his expression was depressed, and he was almost discouraged.
He thought about going through countless robberies along the way, but he didn't expect to be robbed as soon as he went out.
After only half a day's work, he lost the dart.
This is undoubtedly a deep blow to an experienced and strong martial arts veteran.
He became a big joke in martial arts, and the reputation of the Wan Bodyguard Bureau was damaged.
The mysterious man heard him say that something was snatched away, but he didn't embarrass him, let go of Tao Wuye and Baye, and didn't take back the golden beast head, only said that he knew, and flew away, and never appeared again.
Others thought that Tao Ying was incompetent, so he threw away the dart when he went out.
Only the Haisha Gang didn't believe it, and the employer didn't ask for a refund, nor did he blame Tao Ying, which was really unreasonable.
Second, the Haisha Gang has really searched everywhere, and there has been no news of the Dragon Palace Order since then, and no one has taken the Dragon Palace Order to the sea to hunt for treasures.
"The Dragon Palace Order used to be guarded by the Haisha Gang, it was stolen a hundred years ago, and they have been looking for it. They suspected that the Dragon Palace Order was not lost at all, but my father was afraid of being robbed, so he deliberately acted and said that he was robbed, but in fact, he secretly swallowed the treasure and prepared to leave it for future generations to dig up the sea and dig up the treasure. ”
When the Wulin League was there, the Haisha Gang didn't dare to make a mistake, and their sphere of influence was on the coast, so they couldn't stretch their hands too long.
The Yuancheng catastrophe, the Wulin League fell apart, and the tight spell of the Haisha Gang was finally loosened, and they began to make waves and hold the Wan Bodyguard Bureau responsible.
Their reason for suspicion was very 'sufficient', Tao Ying had just been out of the city for half a day, and no one would be stupid enough to rob him so close.
He walked on the official road, where people came and went, and once there was a fight, there would be witnesses around him at any time.
However, when the Dragon Palace Order was robbed, no one passed by, and no one saw the process of him being robbed.
Besides, if someone really snatched it, it must have been robbed for the treasure, and it would not be robbed as a souvenir, right?
The forces of the Haisha Gang on the coast can be described as pervasive.
As soon as the news of the Dragon Palace's appearance came out, they immediately arranged for manpower at all the wharves along the coast.
Specifically staring at the ships going to sea, the treasure of the Dragon Palace is hidden in the deep sea, even if it is only one person who goes down to fish, it will take a group of sailors to row.
The surveillance work lasted for three years, and it took a lot of time, manpower, energy, and money, but it was still impossible to find the person who went to sea with the Ryugu order.
They thought about it differently, and suddenly realized that everyone was tricked by Tao Ying.
Maybe there was no 'robbery' incident at all, Tao Ying deliberately took the official road, and deliberately waited for no one to pass by, pretending that the goods were robbed.
Otherwise, when he went back, why didn't he suffer any injuries?
Fighting for such an important cargo, and when the goods were lost, his son's life would also be lost, he was not injured at all.
No matter what the people of the Seasha Gang think, they feel suspicious.
It's just that the strangest thing is that the employer, he doesn't care at all when things are lost, as if nothing happened.
So another version of the 'truth' came out of the rivers and lakes.
The employer, Toto, should be a dart but a pretense to make such a big move, just to attract people to rob fakes.
The real Dragon Palace Order has been secretly sent, and it is a dark line.
Tao Ying's bright line is set up to cover the dark line.
So I'm afraid he doesn't even have a fake Dragon Palace order on him, and the box is empty at all.
This would explain why he was not injured, because he knew that the box was empty, and it was up to them to rob it, so why bother fighting and getting injured?
Jianghu people believe that the latter is the majority, so no one bothered Tao Ying.
Only the Haisha Gang insisted that the thing was still in the Tao family.
But suspicion is suspicion after all, there is no evidence, the Wan Bodyguard Bureau is open in Yuancheng again, and the Wulin League presides over justice in case of an accident.
They never got a chance to start, but they sent people to search the dart bureau at night, but they found nothing.
After Tao Ying died, the Haisha Gang shifted their attention to Tao Wuye and Baye.
They are Tao Ying's only two sons, and they want to go to the sea to hunt for treasure, and they are the two of them.
Keep an eye on the two of them, and you can track down the Dragon Palace Order.
Since Tao Baye broke his legs, the wave of eyeliner staring at him has withdrawn.
He is already crippled, and he usually walks hard, and diving into the deep sea to hunt for treasure is tantamount to a fool's dream.
