Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Bai Family in Chuzhou
Zhu Mingyu's elbow still couldn't shut up Chenwu, he rubbed his chest that was hurt by Zhu Mingyu and said, "You say, is Li Fenglan stupid?"
Amber said, "I'm smarter than you anyway."
Morning Mist said, "Since we are going to build a secret hideout, so many of us have swaggered to Taoyuan Town, everyone knows her purpose, right?"
At this time, Li Fenglan and Jade came out, and Li Fenglan's expression was a little uncertain.
Zhu Mingyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Fenglan shook her head and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
The group mounted their horses and continued on their way. Morning Mist teased, "What? Touched a nose of ash?"
Li Fenglan didn't even ridicule each other, but replied seriously: "The money is not enough, and the public losers are not enough, and ...... They don't want to take my job."
Amber asks, "Why?"
Li Fenglan was a little irritable and said, "Everything is not going well, our attitude towards the rivers and lakes has to be changed."
Liu Jinglong said with a smiling face, "Miss Li, there is a little sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Let's talk about it."
"We, the martial arts sects...... I'm afraid of you."
Li Fenglan was a little surprised and asked, "Afraid? Although we have been hit by your Songshan faction, we have not killed anyone, except for extorting a little money, we have not embarrassed you. That's not friendly enough? We're enemies."
Liu Jinglongxin said: A little? That was the savings of the Songshan faction for several years.
I was unhappy, but I still smiled and said, "Your plan, we know it in our hearts, it's nothing more than to make a show for the rivers and lakes. Let's think you're not going to settle scores, right?"
Li Fenglan was a little surprised, but then relieved. People are not stupid, there is always someone who can guess her purpose.
Seeing that Li Fenglan didn't speak, Liu Jinglong continued: "You leaned on the two mountains of Shaolin Temple and Qingfeng Temple, and we heard on the road two days ago that the Thorn Gate was also on your side. Hehe, I don't speak well, that's it, cover my ears and steal the bell."
You, Li Fenglan, said that you will only deal with the masterminds behind the scenes, and you will not make a big move. But as soon as you got out of the valley, you found the Bai family, which is not counting, but also pulled up Shaolin, Qingfeng Temple, and Thorn Gate. Isn't this just saying that you don't fight, while rolling up your arms and sleeves?
It's not wrong to scare snakes when you hit grass, but even if you don't beat grass, you can scare snakes just by walking around in a grass pit.
The atmosphere was silent, and Li Fenglan rode a horse and looked ahead, not knowing what was going on in her heart. After a while, Li Fenglan asked Liu Jinglong, "Those Jianghu sects haven't thought about doing anything?"
Liu Jinglong replied, "What to do? What else can be done? Our Songshan faction has also been a famous faction in recent years, and the four of you have directly convinced us. Sects smaller than us don't dare to provoke you. The sect that is bigger than us doesn't know how many masters you have here. So...... The current rivers and lakes are: afraid, but they don't dare to look for trouble, let alone help you."
Li Fenglan sighed and said, "It's okay, you'd better be honest, if you go too far, it's not me who will deal with you."
Liu Jinglong asked, "What does Miss mean by this?"
"In other words, the opponent is me, and everyone is better, if you change ...... Others, then there will be rivers of blood."
…
Chen Zidu's depression is increasing day by day.
"Li Fenglan of Changfeng Tower, can't he really be the reincarnation of an immortal, right?" Chen Ziju stared at the secret letter in his hand and muttered to himself.
It was already late at night, and there was only one oil lamp lit in the study, which was a little dim.
Night Feather Xiaozhu's siege of the remnants of Changfeng Tower has begun, but those remnants seem to have heard the wind in advance, and they are all hidden. Although I picked up and killed a few, it was really the meat between my teeth that didn't mean anything. A few days ago, Li Fenglan set up an idler's hall outside Luoyang City, and those remnants of Changfeng Lou were secretly running into the idler's hall.
Now it is estimated that there are dozens of people in the idler's hall, there is no shortage of masters here, and the defense is tight, if you want to enter without a hundred and ten people, you can't do it at all, and it may be accompanied by huge casualties, and at present, Xiaozhu can not spare so many people.
Chen Zi decided to order people in Luoyang Zhou
Set up hidden piles and secretly intercept and kill those who fled into the idler's hall, but the hidden piles were pulled out one by one. If nothing else, it should be the Bai family who pulled out the dark pile. The Bai family has endured for eighteen years, and it seems that they have accumulated a lot of strength.
What made him depressed was not only these, the three people who ambushed Li Fenglan a few days ago, Gluttony, Duck, and Gu, also missed, and now they have come out of the Medicine Immortal Valley alive.
"In the past, you all had to kill yourself," Chen Ziju said with a sneer, "If the target does not die, you will die yourself...... Isn't it time for this rule to return?"
He was the only one in the room, and he seemed to be talking to himself, but as soon as he finished speaking, a voice outside the door said, "Mr. Chen, you abolished this rule."
Chen Zi nodded helplessly, but thinking that the person outside the door couldn't see it, he said, "So I regret it...... Eldest son, your nail in the Bai family is not easy to use."
"Oh, Mr. Chen, it's good to have. Some time ago, the Bai family dismissed all the former family members, and I have to be careful with my nails, what if I am discovered? To be serious, does Mr. Chen have any countermeasures? The donor is not happy."
Chen Ziju sighed and replied, "Yes...... Well, I don't think it will work out."
"Why?"
"Gluttony and Bird, the two of them are currently the highest combat power in Xiaozhu, but the two of them have to rest for three months at a time, and they can't use it in the near future. The leader of Shuofeng could not be contacted, and he did not know where he had gone. The other leaders no longer want to take on the job of assassinating Li Fenglan, and the remaining high-ranking and middle-ranking killers are not qualified."
"What about the people of the north?"
"Not yet."
"Hey," the person outside the door seemed to stand up from somewhere, "Mr. Chen, my brain is not as good as yours, so I won't spend it with you, you have a headache yourself."
"Wait a minute, eldest prince."
"Anything else?"
"The person I asked for a few days ago has been prepared for you."
"Hehe, Mr. Xie Chen...... Maybe I'll make it?"
"I hope that once the eldest prince participates in the mission, life and death depend on his life, I won't be able to help you."
"Don't worry, I've always been safe first."
…
Bai Shuyu walked very slowly, more than half a month has passed, and he has not yet arrived in Yangzhou. He deliberately slowed down, because not long after he left Luoyang, he found himself being targeted. However, the person who was eyeing him didn't seem to be planning to do anything, just following him all the way. The Bai family has just formed an alliance with Changfeng Lou, and the entire Jianghu knows about this matter, and it is not uncommon to be targeted, so Bai Shuyu is too lazy to care.
But after walking for almost twenty days, this wave of people did not give up, which made Bai Shuyu a little annoyed.
It just happened that I just arrived in Chuzhou, and there are side branches of the Bai family here in Chuzhou, but they have already come out of Wufu, plus the impact of that incident eighteen years ago, all the side branches ignore their Luoyang Bai family. Fortunately, there is still some love for the same clan, and Bai Shuyu decided to go to the Bai family in Chuzhou to avoid it.
The scale of the Bai family in Chuzhou is naturally not as large as the Bai family in Luoyang, and it was the Ming chess of the Bai family in the south. After the decline of the Bai family, the side branches no longer operated the intelligence business, and changed careers to do something else, and some even withdrew directly from the rivers and lakes. The Bai family in Chuzhou is one of the side branches that withdrew from the rivers and lakes.
Bai Shuyu entered Chuzhou, looked at the still bustling streets, sneered, and said to himself: "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Did you escape? The relationship between the rivers and lakes, how can it be so clean?"
After inquiring with someone, I learned that the Bai family in Chuzhou is also a famous family, and now they are doing the medicinal materials business, and they have made a lot of money over the years.
When he came to the gate of the branch, he looked quite magnificent, faintly larger than the Luoyang Bai family.
He dismounted at the gate, and the keeper saw that he was richly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, so he greeted him with a respectful face.
"Who are you looking for?"
Bai Shuyu tidied up his clothes and replied with a smile: "Don't look for anyone, go in and talk to your master, Luoyang Bai Shuyu asks to see."
Luoyang, surnamed Bai, this little guy also knows the family relationship of his family, and when he heard Bai Shuyu's self-introduction, he was startled, and hurriedly said, "You, you slightly
Wait, I'll go to the Tongyu."
Bai Yanzhao is 52 years old this year, obese, like a ball, and seems to be living a good life. Now, he was pacing back and forth in the lobby with a restless look on his face. His son's name was Bai Linju, thirty years old, tall and heroic. Seeing that his father was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he persuaded, "Dad, aren't you from the Bai family in Luoyang? As for being so nervous?"
"You're not nervous?" Bai Yanzhao glared and said, "Our family withdrew from the rivers and lakes eighteen years ago, and we haven't moved around Luoyang for more than ten years, so we finally got out of touch, what's this?"
Bai Linju said helplessly, "Yes, for our family. Dad, how many times have you said that? What is there to be afraid of? We have left the Bai family in Luoyang, what should we say. Besides, no one said they were here to get into trouble."
"Not looking for trouble? Is it just passing by? Do you believe that?"
"And what are you going to do? Just stretching it like that? I've been waiting at the door for almost half an hour."
Bai Yanzhao stomped his feet and said, "When you go to the door, you will say that I am not at home with your grandfather, and let him come back another day."
Bai Linju said, "This is not hospitality."
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
The father and son were hypocritical, and there was an old cough in the back hall, and an old man walked into the lobby with difficulty with the support of the two maids.
Bai Linju hurriedly went over to help him and said, "Grandpa, why did you come out?"
The old man's name is Bai Haichao, the head of the Bai family in Chuzhou, he is seventy-two years old this year, and his health does not seem to be very good, and he is very rickety.
Bai Lin sat down with Bai Haichao in his arms, Bai Haichao waved his hand and asked, "Is someone from Luoyang coming?"
Bai Yanzhao replied respectfully, "Yes, Dad."
"Why don't you invite someone in?"
Bai Yanzhao looked embarrassed: "Dad...... finally broke off the relationship with Luoyang...... This ......."
"Please come in." Bai Haichao's voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty.
Bai Yanzhao didn't dare to disobey his father's order, and said to Bai Linju, "Lin Ju, go and invite people in."
Bai Linju walked to the gate and saw an emaciated figure with his back to the gate, looking at the direction of the street with his hands behind his back. I think this one is from Luoyang.
Bai Linju said, "Third Son." Although he has no contact with Luoyang, he is still very clear about the identity of the children of the Bai family in Luoyang.
Bai Shuyu turned around, with a warm smile on his face, and didn't seem to care that they had left him dry for half an hour.
He arched his hand and said, "It's the little brother, this is the eldest brother Lin Ju, right?"
Bai Linju walked down the steps with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Third Prince, there was something to deal with at home just now, and the people didn't understand the rules and didn't dare to disturb, so I made you wait for half an hour." Look at the book
Bai Shuyu replied, "Don't worry. Brother Lin Ju, what kind of son is not a son, it is all his own family."
"Hahaha," Bai Lin said heroically, "Okay, Brother Yu, come with me into the house."
After speaking, the two entered the gate hand in hand, and to outsiders, they looked like brothers.
When he arrived in the lobby, Bai Yanzhao had already changed into a businessman's unique smile, and when he saw Bai Linju coming in with Bai Shuyu, he greeted him with a smile and said affectionately, "Oh, Uncle Yu's nephew!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Bai Shuyu's hand, and his eyes were the same as seeing his long-lost son.
