Chapter 342: The Great Devil is coming
Lu Zhenxiong's body trembled a little, and in order to hide the fear in his heart, he deliberately emphasized another sentence:
"That's right! He's definitely coming! ”
"What basis do you have?"
"Early this morning, I saw a lot of strange shoe prints around the lodge, and they were extraordinary."
"Extraordinary? What do you mean?"
"These shoe prints are huge, like tires on mud. It can be inferred from this that this is by no means an ordinary shoe print, and it is likely that it is a type of shoe commonly worn by pirates...... This must be the shoe prints left by the Great Devil Xu when he sent his minions to explore the way. Therefore, I think they will definitely attack us tonight, and we must be fully prepared. However, there are many of them and they are powerful, so I'm really worried! Lu Zhenxiong looked embarrassed.
"We'll have two guests to help, though."
"Who? Which two guests?"
"It's Zhou Qiang, and my father's former friend Dr. Qin Han are coming here."
"Zhou Qiang? Wasn't that your father's assistant when he was alive? The man was chubby, and he wasn't quick at all, and he didn't work at all. And Dr. Qin Han is your father's friend, so he must be very old, right? Probably none of them can help. I'll take care of these abominable pirates, I suppose! ”
Lu Zhenxiong tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and said as if he were a man.
"In any case, the two of them were destined to come. Because they planned to go to Dongzhou, they just passed by here and stopped by to see me. I want to keep them here for the night. In addition, there are people who will come. ”
"Who?"
"It's three musicians. To welcome Dr. Qin Han, I invited them to play during the dinner. ”
"What kind of musicians are they?"
"When I went to Dongzhou before, I used to listen to them and I had a good impression of them. They are all outstanding musicians.
"What? Are they all from Dongzhou?"
Lu Zhenxiong's face was very pale because of fear, he reached out and grabbed Shen Yuxia's arm, and said very nervously:
He ...... They are...... The minions sent by the Great Devil Xu! Before each attack on the villa or residence, the Great Devil Xu would send a few minions to disguise themselves as musicians or singers to scout and reconnoiter first. This is the usual trick of the great pirate Xu Da Devil! ”
"Is that really the case?"
Shen Yuxia's face also changed dramatically with fright, but she was a cautious and cautious person, so even though she was nervous in her heart, she still pretended to be calm and said,
"Cousin, you can't be nervous, right?"
Just then, the doorbell rang, and the maid came running and reported, "Miss, the musician has arrived!" ”
"Oh, it's here." Lu Zhenxiong muttered to himself.
Shen Yuxia was even more nervous, there was no blood on her face, and she stood there motionless and didn't dare to move.
When Shen Yuxia was a child, her mother died, and she grew up with her father. Her father was a big businessman, made a lot of money, and was a rich man. Mr. Shin is active by nature and especially adventurous, and he often spends his free time exploring various places and even overseas. Therefore, in a year, he spent a short time in Dongzhou, and even less time with his daughter Shen Yuxia. His last trip was to Puji Island, but unfortunately he died of heat stroke.
At that time, Shen Yuxia was twenty-three years old.
As the saying goes, where there is a father, there must be a daughter. Shin Yuxia inherited her father's character, was active and loved to travel. After Mr. Shen's death, he left a large inheritance to Shen Yuxia. Therefore, Shen Yuxia still lives a comfortable life. She had just returned from a trip to the Middle East. Because of some physical fatigue, she decided to live in Fuling Villa for a while to enjoy a quiet and peaceful life in the countryside.
Fuling Villa is in the east of Dongzhou, and you can overlook the sea in the villa, and the scenery is extremely beautiful and beautiful. Because there is only one mountain village around, away from big cities and small villages, it is unusually quiet. After living for less than a week, Shen Yuxia felt very lonely and bored, so she had to ask Lu Zhenxiong's cousin to accompany her.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. Qin Han and Zhou Qiang came to the villa, and they stopped by to visit Shen Yuxia on their way to Dongzhou.
Dr. Qin Han is very old, and he has been living in Nandu since he stopped working as a military doctor. If it weren't for Zhou Qiang's many invitations, he would never have traveled this time.
Zhou Qiang served as Mr. Shen's assistant for several years, and later, he set up his own trading company and became the chairman of the board. Zhou Qiang liked Shen Yuxia very much and wanted to marry her, but Shen Yuxia did not agree.
At this time, the three musicians, including a beautiful young singer and two violinists, were singing on the grass in front of the balcony.
Lu Zhenxiong carefully observed the every move of these three people, but never found any clues.
After the performance, Lo paid the musicians and led them out of the door, then closed it tightly and locked it firmly.
"I looked at their shoes and they didn't match the shoe prints I saw. However, we must not be careless, and our servants must continue to be on guard. Lu Zhenxiong muttered to himself.
He returned to the balcony and saw Shen Yuxia, Zhou Qiang, and Dr. Qin Han, the three of whom were drinking and discussing the latest news figure, the great pirate Xu Da Devil.
"Xu Da Devil was originally a hooligan, and he was a big pirate, killing innocents like a beast, and he also called himself the 'King of the East China Sea', hum! He doesn't deserve it at all! ”
As soon as he mentioned Xu Da Devil, Zhou Qiang had an attitude of extreme contempt. In fact, he said this on purpose, and his purpose was nothing more than to win Shen Yuxia's favor towards him.
"Oh? How do you know?" Shen Yuxia showed a tone of distrust.
Zhou Qiang said: "No one has seen the true face of Xu Da Devil at all, so everyone does not fully understand Xu Da Devil. And the little bit of information we get is from the mouths of the arrested minions.
"Some say he is a hateful monster, while others say that he is a brave knight, others say that he is a humble gentleman, and others say that he is a very responsible man for women, just like the chivalrous man before him.
"They are all false. Moreover, even the news published in the newspaper often adds branches and leaves, deliberately fabricating some bizarre plots, the purpose of which is nothing more than to expand the circulation of the newspaper. ”
Shen Yuxia didn't quite agree with what Zhou Qiang said: "No, it's not all nonsense stories. Do you remember? Xu Da Devil once led his men and horses to raid the ships of the Navy of Country E in the dark night, and stole a large number of weapons and ammunition, and also used explosives to sink the ships. The next day, they attacked a village on the southern coast of country E, tied up all the villagers, and then cleaned the entire village. In addition to this, there are ......"
"It's all the stuff of legends. The journalists are the best at making up dangerous stories to deceive readers, and Xu Da Devil is nothing more than a simple-minded pirate leader. Zhou Qiang said.
"Absolutely not! He once publicly announced in the newspaper with the signature of Xu Da Devil that from the Dongzhou Strait to the South China Sea of Country E, it is his sphere of influence, and he is the king of the East China Sea!
"Recently, I heard that he took a stolen old warship of country E and began to harass the East China Sea region. The real Xu Da Devil is not what you say, just a simple-minded pirate leader. From the bottom of my heart, I really want to meet this extraordinary man! ”
