Chapter 117: Designing to Escape (I)
The reason why this old man slapped Xiao Gongzi was because he put the initiative in the hands of Zhu Xiaobao as soon as he came up.
Yes, the people who hide in the VIP room, which is not to hide their identity or family history, will not be revealed to the public at all. Although Qian Mao's duck voice could indeed be distinguished by his voice, Qian Mao did not admit it.
Now being asked by Zhu Xiaobao made the old man fall into passivity. He is Xiao Gongzi's father and the current patriarch of the Xiao family---- Xiao Qing.
Xiao Gongzi is his second son Xiao Bai, and he is also the only one among his sons who can advance to the 'Initial Realm', so he is highly regarded by him! I have always been the future head of the family and I am trying to cultivate it. But this time, Xiao Qing's own patriarch position is also in jeopardy, so can he not be in a hurry!
"Humph! Isn't it you, you know it in your heart! If you offend the Xiao family, you have to think clearly about the consequences! Xiao Qing snorted with a gloomy face.
"Of course not! Seniors, look at it, I only make a few dollars a day with a small business? Every time Xiao Gongzi comes, which time is he not offered as a local tyrant? Isn't it, Qian Mao? Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile on his face.
"Yes! Oh, yes! Xiao Gongzi, have you forgotten that I am doing my best to serve every time? ushered in the send-off, but there was no slackness? Qian Mao was even more exaggerated, and his voice was full of grievances.
"You ...... You guys do your best to be a fart, and you won't let me cut in line every time......" Xiao Gongzi immediately said angrily.
"Smack!" Before the words fell, Xiao Qing slapped Xiao Gongzi again, this time it was much better, and Xiao Gongzi turned around in place and stopped.
"Senior! In fact, Xiao Gongzi can't be completely blamed for this incident. In fact, it was a trap designed by the man in the ice coffin. Whoever photographed this ice coffin was unlucky! Money is still a trivial matter, and more importantly, who has another half drop of 'one-dollar heavy water' is his main goal! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly became very sincere and helped Xiao Qing analyze.
"Hehehehehe! Xiaoyou's words woke up the person in the dream! Being able to cultivate to the 'Ninth Layer of Body Refining' at a young age is really extraordinary! At this time, the laughter of Wan Changsheng, the current mayor of 'Wansheng Town', came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, several characters with heads and faces from the Wan family appeared. In the past three days, Wanjia has also been disturbed by this incident, and its reputation has also been seriously questioned. So they're actively trying to remedy and salvage their reputation.
"Humph! Brother Wan came in time! Xiao Qing still had a calm face, and reluctantly arched his hand with Wan Changsheng.
"Brother Xiao, the old man is also the same as you, I want to investigate and deal with the real culprit as soon as possible and recover the losses of you and me!" Wan Changsheng said a little tiredly, and then whispered to Xiao Qing: "In this way, our Wan family is willing to compensate the Xiao family with all the 100 million spirit stones obtained from this auction, to show the sincerity of my Wan family!" How is it? ”
"No! At least 200 million. And I want Brother Wan's promise to track down and arrest the real murderer with my Xiao family! Xiao Qing lowered his head and thought about it, and finally put forward his request.
"This ...... Okay, then I'll take a step back. It can be regarded as letting this matter have a result first! Wan Changsheng thought for a while and said in a low voice.
Although it cost an extra 100 million spirit stones, at least the immediate crisis was resolved first, which was acceptable. After all, after three days of lockdown, many families and sects gradually became dissatisfied. If the lockdown is not lifted, there will be chaos.
Of course, the conversation between the two 'True Martial Realm' elders was inaudible to others. But as soon as Zhu Xiaobao saw Xiao Qing's face soften, he knew that the two sides had reached some kind of agreement. At least Xiao Qing can temporarily keep the position of the head of the family.
The Xiao family came here to provoke and make trouble, in fact, it was also to put pressure on the Wanjia, and of course it was not unrelated to Xiao Baigongzi's instigation. Now that things have a barely acceptable result, Xiao Qing shook his hand and threw Qian Mao back to Zhu Xiaobao. Then he turned around and took the people of the Xiao family with him, and left with a menacing attitude......
"Huh! Xiaoyou's analysis is very incisive? Rest assured, Wansheng Town is still the same as before, a very safe town! This will never happen again! When Wan Changsheng was leaving, he turned around and said to Zhu Xiaobao with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! I've always believed that this was just a once-in-a-century accident! There's nothing to worry about at all. Especially small people like us! Zhu Xiaobao said with a firm expression.
The people who sent away the ten thousand families, but Zhu Xiaobao was even more worried: I have to leave this place quickly!
Sure enough, the next day, 'Wansheng Town' was unsealed, and Wanjiahai made a special trip to think that all the major sects and various large and small families had sent a generous gift, which could be regarded as appeasing everyone. Of course, those casual cultivators, a few very famous, are not very generous!
Zhu Xiaobao's small shop is still open as usual. But Zhu Xiaobao found that there were a lot of eyes and ears around the shop, all monitoring his every move. What worries Zhu Xiaobao even more is that most of these people who are monitoring him are all cultivators of the 'Transcendent Realm', and there are even a few of them who are 'Transformation God Realm'.
This shows that many people are not coming for the 'skyrocketing pill', but have other intentions! Although it is kept far enough, it can't escape the patrol of the 'Fire Golden Bee'......
"The head of the house! We're still going to run! The wealth is not exposed, and now I am afraid that we all know that we are rich! I feel like it's dangerous to stay any longer! "I didn't expect Qian Mao to think the same way. He has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he has always been cautious, and he will run away after a little trouble......
"Yes, but what is the best way to get rid of those ears and eyes? It's better to be unaware. Zhu Xiaobao also agreed.
What he was most worried about now was the five killers of the 'Traceless Family'. And the last time these five people visited the store, they hadn't been spotted again. Even the 'Fire Golden Bee' didn't find any trace of them, and this is what worries Zhu Xiaobao the most!
"I can stay and confuse each other! But I have one condition! Unexpectedly, at this time, Luzhu recommended himself.
"Oh? Tell me...... "Zhu Xiaobao was a little surprised, the cultivation of green bamboo is not high. If they say goodbye, it is likely to affect the green bamboo, which is one of the reasons why Zhu Xiaobao is a little hesitant.
"Hmmm! I'll stay and continue to run the shop, and I'll be trying to figure out how to get out in a few days, but I need you to promise to go into the 'Water Curtain Cave', where I can cultivate with peace of mind!" "Luzhu seems to have planned it for a long time, and of course it has its own conditions.
"It's not that hard, but can you make sure you get out?" Zhu Xiaobao still asked worriedly. After all, Luzhu has already experienced bad luck several times when he is outside, and this time the risk is probably greater than the previous ones.
"Uh-huh! I've thought about this, I have my own way! Luzhu nodded affirmatively and said.
In the next few days, Zhu Xiaobao was still open as usual, and then he was running and exercising along the border of 'Wansheng Town' every once in a while, and from time to time he took a bath in the river and frolicked with the little white lions. It looks like it's very laid-back......
Wait until two days later, Zhu Xiaobao was frolicking, and suddenly found a spirit fox, the white lion took the lead and chased it, and then Zhu Xiaobao followed, chasing all the way quickly, until he chased into a forest, Zhu Xiaobao and the little white lion went in and never came out.
Those who were watching them from a distance were also full of doubts, but after they came back, they saw that Qian Mao and Luzhu were still operating normally, so they were a little relieved.
But Qian Mao also disappeared inexplicably, and Luzhu was left alone in the shop, but the business was still managed by her in an orderly manner. And the 'three-piece set' sold is still the original taste, and there are still a lot of people queuing at the door.
Two days later, the small shop suddenly closed for business, without warning or for any reason, even the green bamboo was gone. Only then did everyone realize that they didn't know anything about this green bamboo, and even her place was rarely known.
"Gone? Don't even say hello? When Wan Changfeng reported to the town mayor Wan Changsheng, he was still a little indignant. He thinks that his friendship with Zhu Xiaobao is very good!
"Huh! It's right to go! It shows that this little guy is not simple! Not to mention anything else, even the 900 million spirit stones, he has to hurry up! Wan Changsheng smiled very calmly, as if he had expected it.
By the time those in charge of monitoring all reacted, Zhu Xiaobao and Qian Mao were already thousands of miles away.
……
"Hahahaha! Master, we have finally escaped again! I don't know what happened to Luzhu, can I escape smoothly? Qian Mao said with a smug smile. What is commendable is that he will still worry about Luzhu.
"Shhhh Don't talk about green bamboo, this woman is not simple! Let's worry about ourselves first! Zhu Xiaobao looked puzzled, shook his head and said.
"Why, head of the house, is there anyone stalking us? It's impossible, I've been looking into it later. No one is following you? Qian Mao suddenly became nervous again.
"Alas! Not the back, but the front! Show up, tell me, are you in it for the money, or are you for the people? Zhu Xiaobao looked ahead, a barren and empty land, all that was left was some mountain gravel, and with the hazy weather, there was a hint of silence and a terrifying atmosphere......
"Hahahaha! Good eyesight, how did you find out about us? The three boulders on the opposite side suddenly moved, and then quickly reduced to three strong men. It turned out that they were all earth-attributed, petrified all over, and ambushed here.
"How did you know my whereabouts?" Zhu Xiaobao was also puzzled.
"Humph! Do you think that spirit fox appeared by accident? In the fight with this white lion, it has long left a smell! That's the natal beast of the 'Spirit Fox Fairy' that the three of us brothers invited at a great price......" The three big men said with a wild laugh.
"Robbery? How much? ”
"Nine hundred million!"
