Chapter Seventy-Six: Something Lost

When it was almost dawn, Wu Hou and Mai Wenxiang were sent back to their residence, and it was Gu Qinghui and the driver Lao Li who sent them. Under Gu Qinghui's orders, Ajie was responsible for sending Gao Jingyi, Zhou Shu, Li Zhiguang and Feng Mo back.

Mai Wenxiang was shocked, still frightened along the way, and was still trembling in the car. The little girl was timid and had never encountered anything, this sudden kidnapping really scared Mai Wenxiang, Gu Qinghui had been by her side to comfort her, seeing that she was so frightened that Gu Qinghui felt very uncomfortable.

This kind of emergency is not a big deal for Gu Qinghui. Because when he was a child, he also encountered several kidnappings, and at that time, his father had not yet stepped into the rivers and lakes, and he was not a martial arts practitioner. Because the family's business is doing well, they are being looked down upon, and some gangsters with bad intentions kidnapped the young Gu Qinghui to blackmail Gu Jiajie for money.

When my father led people to rescue him, one of them was that he was hungry for two whole days, and he was so hungry that he was weak and weak, and his eyes were full of stars, and he was about to hallucinate. Gu Jiajie gave a lot of money to the gangsters in order to redeem Qinghui, but Gu Qinghui did not hate those gangsters, on the contrary, he felt that they were very pitiful.

As he grows up, the power of the family is getting bigger and bigger, and no one has dared to do anything on the surname Gu for many years. Gu Qinghui was very curious, he didn't know what was wrong with Wu Hou, it seemed that Zhou Baojun seemed to have a great hatred for him.

Could it really be as Zhou Baojun said, Wu Hou has a master, and he and his master have really killed people? In today's society, killing people is a very terrifying thing. Although Gu Qinghui was born in a wealthy family and has seen a little more of the market than other people's children, he also feels extremely afraid of killing, so when he looks at Wu Hou at this moment, he is a little unnatural.

Wu Hou is not like Mai Wenxiang, and he still has palpitations. Wu Hou is very calm now, not so much calm as calm, because he was thinking, according to Zhou Baojun, more than a dozen people who were ordered by the master that night all lost their lives. But he and Mu Haisen were present at the time, and those people were just fixed, and their lives were not in danger.

But it seems that the person is really dead, so who could have killed him? Could it be that there was someone else present that night? This is also impossible, if there is really someone else lurking in the shadows, then with Master's perception ability, he will definitely find out.

With many questions, Wu Hou and Mai Wenxiang went upstairs together. Gu Qinghui also followed upstairs, supporting Mai Wenxiang, who was still distracted, and cared for her. With careful care along the way, Mai Wenxiang unconsciously put her hand on Gu Qinghui's forearm, holding it tightly and not daring to let go, for fear that he would suddenly withdraw his arm and take away this forearm that could bring him some peace of mind.

After entering the house, Wu Hou opened the room where Mai Wenxiang was sleeping, helped Gu Qinghui, and put Mai Wenxiang on the bed. The extreme nervousness of the night, coupled with the fact that she had drunk a lot of wine before, so Mai Wenxiang quickly fell asleep as soon as she touched the soft big bed, and only after she fell asleep did Wu Hou and Gu Qinghui leave the room.

Wu Hou went to the refrigerator and took two bottles of ice water, used one bottle for himself, put it on the red and swollen area of his face for cold compress, and gave the other bottle to Gu Qinghui. The two young men with red and swollen faces sat on the sofa in the living room, applying ice water to the wounds on their faces, and neither of them spoke.

Gu Qinghui's eyes looked around the living room a few times, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Houshan, he asked with curiosity, "You and your master, have you killed someone?"

Wu Hou didn't say anything, but shook his head slightly.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qinghui smiled heartily and said lightly: "I believe in you." ”

Looking at Gu Qinghui with a warm face, Wu Hou nodded gratefully. Gu Qinghui took down the ice water, found a comfortable position and half-leaned on the sofa, and let out a long breath.

Wu Hou suddenly asked, "Is your father really Gu Jiajie?"

Gu Qinghui was stunned, looked at Wu Hou and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Unexpectedly, your father is a martial arts master, but you have no foundation at all. ”

Hearing Wu Hou's words, Gu Qinghui was embarrassed for a moment, and replied: "I have to practice with him when he practices martial arts? ”

Wu Hou smiled, rude? Gu Qinghui said that Xi Wu was rude.

"If you know how to do some kung fu, Zhou Baojun can't easily punch you, half of your face is swollen, aren't you angry?" Wu Hou looked at Gu Qinghui and asked.

Gu Qinghui sat up straight again, touched his face that was still a little painful, and said helplessly: "Angry, how can you not be angry." ”

"Then after your subordinates arrive, let you come back, why don't you go and fight Zhou Baojun. ”

Gu Qinghui shook his head and said, "There are high and low mountains, there are depths and shallownesses of water, and people are good and bad. Hitting someone is not necessarily a bad person, and not hitting someone is not necessarily a good person, but a person who has been beaten can be beaten back, but he doesn't fight, then he must be a good person with connotation. Compared with the hot-blooded children who have revenge, I prefer the worldly gentleman with hills and valleys in his chest. ”

After saying this, as if he was a little uncomfortable, Gu Qinghui looked at Wu Hou with a smile, scratched his temple with one finger, and said, "I rarely tell people what I think in my heart, hehe." After saying that, he laughed.

Wu Hou also laughed again, and after laughing, he asked, "Do you want to be a gentleman?"

"Hmm. Gu Qinghui nodded and said: "I will definitely be a gentleman, with a sunny heart, warm arms, not sad about the status quo when I am busy, and I will not be a casual person who can only drink and write poems in my spare time." ”

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of these words, Wu Hou still admired Gu Qinghui for being able to say this, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had made when he said it, but he just felt that it was very interesting, as if there was a lot of realm in his words.

It was dawn, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the window and fell on the coffee table, and the teacups were crystal clear, and they were refracted on the faces of the two people.

The two of them didn't feel sleepy at all, Gu Qinghui had no intention of leaving, and Wu Hou no longer continued to sit here with him, but stood up, ready to take a shower, and then go back to the room to change clothes.

As soon as he entered the room, Wu Hou casually threw the clothes in his hand on the cabinet on the side, ready to take out clean clothes from the cabinet, and when his eyes swept over the head of the bed, he stayed there.

The Canghai Sword Box, which had been erected by him at the head of the bed, was gone at this time.

Wu Hou hurriedly walked to the head of the bed, looked left and right, and looked under the bed again in disbelief, but still didn't see the sword box. He looked around, but he didn't find any signs that anyone had come, the repaired windows were closed, and when the three of them entered the house just now, they didn't find anything unusual.

But where did the sword case go?

Wu Hou, who was standing at the head of the bed, frowned, and his heart was slowly a little nervous, mixed with some inexplicable anger.

So, he didn't take a bath, just changed into clean clothes, walked out of the room to the living room, looked at Gu Qinghui, and said, "Do you want to go home?"

Gu Qinghui saw Wu Hou, whose face was a little urgent, and wondered, "Go back, what's wrong?" and stood up as he spoke, thinking that Wu Hou was going to drive himself away.

Wu Hou hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something to do and need to go out, can I trouble you to take care of Xiangxiang here?"

"Huh?" Gu Qinghui's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Isn't it okay?" Wu Hou asked.

Gu Qinghui thought about it, swallowed and foamed, nodded and said, "Okay, you can." ”

Wu Hou was relieved, so he was about to go out, and when he arrived at the door, when his hand touched the doorknob, he turned his head again, looked at Gu Qinghui and said, "She is not awake, don't enter her room, don't have bad thoughts." The implication is that he is afraid that Gu Qinghui will have some rogue methods.

Gu Qinghui's head was also clever, and he immediately understood what Wu Hou meant, although he was a little unhappy with suspicion, he still assured Wu Hou: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person you think." ”

Seeing Gu Qinghui's vow, Wu Hou nodded and said, "I believe in you, gentleman." ”

Gu Qinghui smiled heartily, Wu Hou didn't stay any longer, pushed the door and walked out.

I went downstairs, walked out of the community, and came to the main road, and my stomach suddenly growled. Wu Hou bought a few steamed buns on the side of the road and asked for a cup of soy milk, and then took a taxi to Mu Haisen's residence to find Duanmu Shenjiu.

The loss of the Canghai sword box made him feel a little flustered, although he was still young, but he recognized the eight sharp weapons of the Lord, as if he had formed an invisible connection with himself. This is a hidden inner and spiritual connection, which can only be found by two parties who match each other.

It's already morning, and many of the staff who have passed the holiday have gone to work one after another, but there are still a large number of people whose vacation is not over, so there are not many people and vehicles on the road.

The taxi pulled Wu Hou and quickly walked through the streets, and it didn't take long to send Wu Hou to his destination.

Wu Hou paid the money, got out of the car, and came to Mu Haisen's residence with a familiar car, the door was still locked at this time, and it seemed that he hadn't gotten up yet.

Standing outside the door, raising his hand, there was a knock on the door with a bang, and an unfamiliar voice came from the courtyard, it was not Mu Haisen, nor Duanmu Shenjiu.

"Who? knocked on the door early in the morning, urging for life. ”

Wu Hou was wondering who this person was, and the door was opened.

This is a middle-aged man of the same age as Mu Haisen, with a beard and stubble, looking at Wu Hou with a look of resentment and doubt, blaming this young man for waking himself up in the morning.

"What are you doing?" the bearded man asked unhappily.

Wu Hou looked inside and saw a bunk in the courtyard, it seemed that this man slept there last night.

"I'm looking for my master. Wu Hou replied lightly.

The bearded man asked, "Your master, why is your master here, get out, don't disturb my sleep." ”

Wu Hou guessed that this man should be from the Mu Haisen clan, so he spoke again: "My master is Duanmu Shenjiu. ”

The bearded man's eyes suddenly became attentive, and he looked at Wu Hou, "Are you Wu Hou?"

Wu Hou nodded.

The man stepped aside and let Wu Hou into the courtyard, he poked his head out and looked outside, and saw that there was no suspicious person, so he closed the door with confidence.

Duanmu Shenjiu, who heard the movement, walked out of the house, and when the bearded man saw it, he called out respectfully: "Ancestor." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu snorted, looked at Wu Hou and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Hou touched the still swollen half of his face and replied, "I got into a fight with someone." ”

"Haven't you ever fought?" Duanmu Shenjiu asked.

Wu Hou nodded embarrassedly.

"It seems that the person you met was a colleague with a little skill. Duanmu Shenjiu said casually.

"We were kidnapped last night. Wu Hou said in a deep voice.

Duanmu Shenjiu glared slightly, a little angry, and asked, "Is there anyone who is hurt?"

Wu Hou replied honestly, "No one was injured, it was the younger brother of the man we robbed of his painting that night, and he said that the people who were ordered by you that night were all dead." ”

"I know they're dead. Duanmu Shenjiu said flatly.

"Master, do you know?" Wu Hou wondered.

Duanmu Shenjiu didn't answer again, and the bearded man took over and said, "We were drinking together last night, and Brother Sen was shot with a sniper rifle. ”

"What?" Wu Hou was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What about the people?"

Duanmu Shenjiu, who turned around and walked into the house, raised his hand to signal Wu Hou to come in, and the bearded man followed closely.

As soon as the three of them walked into the house, a bullet hit the wall hard, and if Wu Hou hadn't walked into the house, he would have been hit in the head by this shot.

The bearded man hurriedly closed the door, looked out through the gap, and whispered, "Be careful, here you go again." ”

Wu Hou, who had just brushed shoulders with death, stared at his eyes, and his heartbeat seemed to be audible at the moment.

"What's going on?" Wu Hou looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and the bearded man in horror.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou with complicated eyes, but did not speak, and the bearded man replied to Wu Hou: "From last night to now, this is the fourth, the first time it was aimed at the ancestor, but it was blocked by Brother Sen who stood up. ”

Wu Hou moved his body in and asked, "Did you catch someone?"

"The first one was caught, the latter ones weren't, they were very cunning, and as soon as you went out, they immediately hid. The bearded man moved back as well.

"Then you still sleep in the yard, aren't you afraid that a shot will collapse you?" Wu Hou asked the bearded man.

The bearded man didn't speak, and Duanmu Shenjiu said, "He's fine, it's not him who was killed." ”

Wu Hou looked at Duanmu Shenjiu suspiciously, and Duanmu Shenjiu continued: "Apprentice, as a teacher now, I'm afraid I'm already dragging you down. Caught that one yesterday, I asked, there are three people they want to kill, they are me, Mu Haisen, and you. These people, like the people who kidnapped you last night, should be in the same group. ”
