Chapter 10: Forgiveness
The next night, Si Yi changed into a black outfit, picked up the latent step, and cautiously touched Liu Chuang's house.
As soon as he walked to the door of Liu's Mansion, Si Yi felt a noticeable difference, the last time he came, there were only two guards at the main gate of Liu's Mansion, and they were all lazy and lazy, obviously coping with errands. But now there are six guards at the door, and they are all serious, as if they don't let go of a mosquito.
Ghost Hand smiled, "It seems that this time is a bit difficult." โ
Si Yi chuckled, "It's difficult." โ
At the back door, the two brothers had been dealt with by Liu Chuang, and now the guards were four experienced gangsters, who stood very straight, holding weapons in their hands, and their sharp eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
Si Yi came to the back door and couldn't help but sigh: "This Liu Chuang is really willing to pay the capital, two refining body triple, two refining body double, it seems that he got a lot of things this time, otherwise he wouldn't have sent so many people to stay here." โ
"It seems that this batch of things is very important to him. Ghost Hand laughed.
"Then I can't let him do it. โ
Liu Chuang would not have thought that Si Yi had already practiced the latent shadow step and the breathing technique, and now the time was night, and there were shadows everywhere, for Si Yi, the right time, place and people were all available, and entering Liu's Mansion was as simple as eating and drinking.
Taking advantage of the shadow around the corner, Si Yi easily climbed over the wall and entered Liu's mansion, but the guards at the door were unaware.
Entering Liu's Mansion, the defenses inside also became tighter, every once in a while, there would be a two-person squad patrolling, Si Yi had to move forward cautiously little by little, although he would be able to steal the shadow step, but he couldn't use it all the time, one was to consume spiritual power, and more importantly, the latent step required a high degree of mental concentration, Si Yi now had to observe the surrounding environment, naturally he couldn't keep it all the time.
Another team came, and Si Yi turned over and hid in a bush, waiting for the team to leave.
At this time, one of the members of the team asked, "Brother, what is going on in the gang? Why is it so tightly defended? Tian Heng has been cleaned up by the gang leader, who else dares to provoke us?"
The leader looked around carefully and made sure that there was no one before he whispered, "I'll tell you the mystery today." I heard that the things that the helper got this time were going to be given to the brother, that is, the elder of the city guard, and with these things, the lord could go one step further, and when the time came, with the protection of the lord, we would have more than just the north of the city. โ
The other person showed a look of sudden realization and praised, "Then this batch of things can't go wrong." Let's patrol it. โ
The old man patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "Go up." Remember what I just said to you, you must not let the third person know, this matter was said by the boss during the day, and if he knew that I told someone else about it, we would both be killed. โ
The young man shrank in fright, and quickly promised, "I won't say it." โ
"Well, keep patrolling. โ
When a few people left, Si Yi jumped out and shook his head helplessly, "There are always people who send charcoal in the snow." โ
The ghost hand also smiled: "If Liu Chuang dies, because of this group of subordinates, he will also die unjustly." โ
Si Yi changed direction and felt in the direction of the lobby.
"I'm going to find out the specific news, and I believe Liu Chuang will tell me something more specific. โ
Ghost Hand agreed, "It should be." โ
In the lobby, the lights were brilliant, and Liu Chuang, Ruan Hongyan and a group of core gang members were here, as if they were waiting for something.
Si Yi found a large shadow in the corner outside the lobby, and took up the latent step to hide.
Inside the house, I saw a subordinate dozing off, and before Liu Chuang could make a move, Ruan Hongyan had already thrown the teacup in his hand.
Syllable!
The crisp sound shook everyone in the room, and the subordinate instantly lost his sleep.
Liu Chuang didn't speak, and after turning his head to look, he continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Si Yi outside the door was also a little confused, he clearly sensed that there were many people in the room, and the strongest of them should be Liu Chuang, but why was there no sound at all?
After another stick of incense, Si Yi heard the sound of the teacup breaking again, but there was still no sound of speech in the room. "What are these people doing?" Si Yi said distressedly.
After waiting for a stick of incense, there was still no sound in the house, and Si Yi quietly left here. After that, Si Yi went to look near the warehouse again, but the guards were too strict, Si Yi did not find a chance to approach, and in the end, Si Yi could only retreat unwillingly, because it was already getting bright, and if he stayed, he was afraid that he would be exposed.
Back in the hut, Si Yi was a little distressed, Liu Chuang now arranged the mansion like an iron bucket, there was no chance at all, although he could use the latent step to approach or even enter the warehouse, but who knows if there were any other people in the warehouse? The last time the four were done by the ghost hand, but the ghost hand will not make a move now. As soon as there are people inside, they will be attacked from the inside and outside, and it is still unknown whether they will be able to escape at that time.
"No matter, I won't leave until I get rid of him. Si Yi said hatefully.
But the reality made Si Yi a little sad, for five consecutive days, he would go to Liu's Mansion every night, but he didn't get any useful information. But Si Yi seems to be on the same page with Liu Chuang, although there is no gain, but Si Yi will still go every day, and if he can't get useful news in the lobby, Si Yi will go to other places, in five days, Si Yi has visited almost every place in Liu's mansion, even Ruan Hongyan and Liu Chuang's bedrooms, he has patronized them, although he also found some treasures, but Si Yi still held back, the things in the warehouse are the target, and he can't startle the snake because of these small profits.
Time paid off, and on the evening of the seventh day, Si Yi finally had a harvest.
In the lobby, a strong man suddenly stood up and shouted: "I want to guard you, anyway, I can't get a piece of these spirit stones, why are I guarding here for someone I don't know?"
Everyone else looked at the strong man with appreciation, what the strong man said was what they really thought in their hearts, they had worked hard to defeat Tian Heng, and finally got these things, but now they had to give them to others, and no one could do it without complaints.
Liu Chuang didn't make any expression, just raised his eyes and asked softly, "Do other people think the same way?"
There was silence. Liu Chuang smiled: "I understand." Although none of the subordinates spoke, from their eyes, Liu Chuang had already gotten the answer.
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Liu Chuang said lightly: "If you want to stay, just guard it with me, if you don't want to stay here, if you want to leave, I won't stop it, and I won't blame you." Ruan Hongyan held Liu Chuang's hand tightly and asked worriedly, "What if..."
Before Ruan Hongya could finish speaking, Liu Chuang covered her mouth, shook his hand and said, "It's okay." โ
The subordinates below all hesitated a little in their eyes, and then focused their eyes on a middle-aged man who was dressed very elegantly. The middle-aged man did not disappoint, got up and said, "Helper, it's not that we don't want to guard here, we just feel aggrieved." โ
"Sure enough, it's you Han Ming, I knew they would let you come. Liu Chuang smiled: "Let's talk about it, let's talk openly, why are you aggrieved?"
Han Ming glanced at Ruan Hongyan with some hesitation, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, Madam is here, I don't dare to say it.
Liu Chuang glanced at Ruan Hongyan, and Ruan Hongyan immediately said: "Don't worry, I'm not the same person anymore, no matter what you say today, I don't hear it." โ
Han Ming was still a little worried, and glanced at Liu Chuang worriedly, Liu Chuang nodded and said, "Don't worry." โ
With the assurance of the helper, Han Ming boldly straightened his waist and said indignantly: "The reason why the brothers are wronged is very simple, that is, we don't understand why we want to give away the wealth we have worked so hard to give to others? Although he is the captain of the city guards, what has he helped us with all these years?" Han Ming pointed outside and said: "Speaking from a distance, the territory in the north of the city was killed by our brothers with a knife and a shot, how could he have contributed a single force? Even when we suffered the heaviest losses, he never extended a helping hand, but now he wants all the gains that the brothers have worked so hard to earn, if they really hand it over, how can we explain it to those dead brothers?"
The others were also driven by Han Ming's emotions, and they complained one after another, "If it weren't for Ruan Tianxing's insatiable greed, we wouldn't have searched for others and left the current notoriety in this Qingyun City." The other also said: "That is, the person he wants to kill, he doesn't do it himself, but he lets us be the executioner, because of this, I don't know how many people poke our backbones in the back and scold us for killing innocents indiscriminately, even the old and weak, women and children, but he Ruan Tianxing picked it up, and all he left for himself was a good reputation." โยทยทยท
Ruan Hongyan lowered her head a little ashamedly, her brother has indeed gone too far over the years, and people outside say that Liu Chuang relied on Ruan Tianxing's backer to develop, but in fact, all of this was fought by Liu Chuang with his life, and Ruan Tianxing just sat back and enjoyed it.
Liu Chuang also stood up, moved his body, and said with a smile: "Since the brothers asked today, then I will tell you the reason." Ruan Hongyan hurriedly held Liu Chuang's hand and shook her head, the puppet thing must not be said, once it is said, there will be many variables.
Liu Chuang patted Ruan Hongyan's hand and signaled her to rest assured. Then he looked at the subordinates below and said: "The brothers sitting here today have all spent life and death with me, and the latest has been with me for more than seven years, and it is my fault that I didn't tell everyone about this matter." As he spoke, Liu Chuang pulled open his clothes, and in his heart, a black skull with a glimmer of light looked particularly hideous.
"What is this?" asked Han Ming.
Liu Chuang smiled, "This is the sign of the puppet talisman, this is the child talisman in my heart, and the mother talisman is on Ruan Tianxing's body, that is to say, my current life is in Ruan Tianxing's body, as long as he moves his fingers, I will leave this world immediately." And our quid pro quo is what we got from Tian Heng this time. โ
"This... Han Ming was a little speechless, and the other subordinates were also whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.
Liu Chuang got dressed and continued: "Actually, this is my own business, it's really embarrassing to let the brothers guard with me, so I don't force everyone, if you want to, you can stay, and if you don't want to, you can leave at any time." โ
Han Ming didn't speak, he just immediately re-done, and he was more serious than before, the others also did a good job, no one left, all they wanted was an explanation, now that they knew the reason, and this matter was related to Liu Chuang's life, they naturally had no complaints.
Liu Chuang looked at this scene, and also laughed involuntarily, and then solemnly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, brothers." โ
The people below clenched their fists one after another and said loudly: "Swear allegiance to the gang leader." โ
Liu Chuang sat down with a smile and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.
Outside the door, the ghost hand who heard all this said: "I suddenly feel that people like him don't deserve to die, can you keep him?" โ
"What about my grandfather's hatred?" asked Si Yi.
"If you believe me, I can tell you that grandpa was never killed by Liu Chuang," Ghost Hand said solemnly.
Si Yi was also a little hesitant, before today, he only knew that Liu Chuang was a bully, but he never thought that the truth turned out to be like this. And Liu Chuang can get such a person who swears allegiance to the death, which shows that he has a great personality, and if such a person does not die, he will definitely be a hero in the future. For a while, Si Yi hesitated.
Seeing that Si Yi was a little hesitant, the ghost hand continued to persuade: "Since the root cause is not in him, then there is no need to count it on him, just punish him with a small punishment and a big punishment." You can even help him a little, and if you use it well, he will give you a big boost. โ
Si Yi thought for a while before he sighed and said, "Okay." So what should I do now?"
"Go to Ruan Tianxing and get the mother talisman of the puppet talisman. โ
"It's useless," Si Yi analyzed: "Even if there is no mother talisman, in this Qingyun City, Ruan Tianxing wants to kill Liu Chuang, and it is not a matter of moving his fingers?"
The ghost hand smiled: "You are still too young, this Liu Chuang has hidden his cultivation, his real cultivation is the sevenfold refining body, and the captain of the city guard army should also be at this level, so if you lose the control of the puppet talisman, it is really not certain who wins and who loses." โ
"Think about it," Si Yi didn't answer immediately, letting Liu Chuang go had already made him full of guilt towards Grandpa Ma, and now he had to let him help Liu Chuang, he needed a little time to accept this matter.
Back in the small courtyard, Si Yi did not cultivate, but fell asleep deeply.
