Chapter 13 The Desperate Scheme

After the day's homework was over, Wu Ming returned to Wu's mansion in Uncle Lin's carriage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

arranged for a subordinate to wait for Xia Bingyun at the door, and he went to the front hall.

After eating, everyone dispersed, Xia Bingyun had not yet arrived, Wu Ming did not wait any longer, and said to Wu Qing, "Grandpa, I have something to find you in a while", and went back to his small courtyard.

Leaving Wu Qing and Wu Jian staring at each other, they didn't know what kind of fame Wu Ming was doing.

Wu Ming was originally the least worry-free one of the third generation of the Wu family, and now, Wu Ming has also begun to improve, and several elders of the Wu family feel much more relaxed.

Watching Wu Ming leave, several people laughed and discussed.

"This kid is getting more and more mysterious. ”

"Listening to Xiao Nan, Xiao Ming's speed is very fast, and the accuracy is also very high, what's even stranger is that he doesn't hit with much strength, but when he hits people, it hurts, and I don't know how he did it?"

"This kid, ask him what's going on, and don't tell us yet!"

"It's surprising enough to get the second-class qualification before, who knows, and defeated the sixth-level martial artist again, and became the first among the twenty or thirty-year-old! This kid didn't tell us yet, pretending that nothing had happened, fortunately, we had eyes and ears in the Dragon Gate Academy. ”

......

Wu Ming returned to his residence and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Ordinary people, after eating, generally have to walk around and digest food.

Those who can practice martial arts, as long as they sit cross-legged like the law, their intestines and stomach will squirm, and it won't take long for them to be almost digested.

After Wu Ming finished eating, he closed his eyes and recuperated while waiting for Xia Bingyun's arrival.

After a while, I heard the sound of staggered footsteps outside the door. Then a voice sounded: "Young Master, Miss Xia has arrived." ”

Wu Ming got up from the bed and walked to the door, and saw that the subordinate he had arranged and Xia Bingyun were standing at the door of the small courtyard, in front of Xia Bingyun, a beautiful woman, the subordinate was obviously a little nervous, and Xia Bingyun was also a little restrained when he arrived at Wu's house.

"Why did you come? Have you eaten?" Wu Ming took two quick steps and came to the two of them.

"There was a delay just now. Eaten. Xia Bingyun lowered his head slightly and said.

Wu Ming knew that Xia Bingyun was afraid that Liu Jiang would know, so he came so late, but he didn't say anything, and said to the next person: "You go and see, whether my grandfather is in the front hall or in the backyard, come and tell me quickly after reading it." ”

"Yes, young master," the man replied respectfully, and left.

Only Wu Ming and Xia Bingyun were left in the small courtyard, Xia Bingyun felt even more restrained, bowing his head and stroking the corners of his clothes.

At this moment, the sky was dark, and the moonlight was sprinkled in the sky, making the light and shadow in the small courtyard intertwined.

This situation and this scene can be quite picturesque.

"There are beautiful scenery and beautiful women, at this time, play a few tunes, and have a few glasses of wine to cheer up, that taste, stained ......" Wu Ming couldn't help but think of the scene when he was with Xia Bingyun before.

At that time, it was this kind of picturesque scene that was the most difficult to find, and I don't know how many times, Wu Ming struggled to create a pleasant scene.

Now, the beautiful scenery is there, and the people are there, but Wu Ming no longer has that mood.

"The beauty is pleasant, but it's also easy to get lost in it. I can't appreciate this beautiful scenery!" Wu Ming reminded himself.

"Sit down," Wu Ming pointed to a stone bench in the courtyard, "Xiao Liu should be back soon." ”

Xia Bingyun sat down on the stone bench, while Wu Ming stood aside without saying a word, waiting for the person to come back......

It didn't take long for the subordinate Xiaoliu to come back, saying that Old Lady Wu was in the backyard, Wu Ming waved his hand and asked Xiaoliu to go down, and then took Xia Bingyun towards the backyard.

Mrs. Wu looks like he is only sixty or seventy years old, but in fact, he is ninety and nine.

People who practice martial arts generally start a family late, Mrs. Wu didn't have two sons until she was almost forty years old, and Wu Zhuang didn't have Wu Ming until he was in his thirties.

Old lady Wu, who was also an iron-blooded man, also fought several tough battles, so that the Wu family had a place in Qingshui City, and now, the position of the Wu family has long been stable, but the old lady Wu is old.

He has long lost the fiery temper of his youth, he laughs every day, and he doesn't practice martial arts much, but instead makes flowers and plants in the backyard.

On the surface, Old Lady Wu doesn't seem to have any pursuits.

But in fact, Old Lady Wu has always had a wish, that is, to break through the ninth-level martial artist and enter the innate realm.

And he planted flowers and plants in the backyard for that wish, and it is said that doing so would help him enter the innate realm. Of course, this is also his hearsay......

"Grandpa!" Wu Ming took Xia Bingyun to the front of his grandfather's small courtyard and knocked on the door and shouted.

Squeak, the courtyard door opened, and Mrs. Wu appeared behind the door in a cloak.

"Who is this?" Old Lady Wu looked at Xia Bingyun suspiciously.

"Grandpa, she's Xia Bingyun, let's go in and talk. ”

"Oh, good. Old lady Wu didn't ask much, let the two of them in, and closed the courtyard door casually.

When the three of them entered the house, Mrs. Wu smiled and asked, "Xiao Ming, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Wu Ming smiled shyly, "Grandpa, I didn't have an appetite for them, originally, I was going to say it to you, but she has just arrived, and I am afraid of delaying my uncle and father's rest, so I have to trouble grandpa." ”

"You kid......" Old lady Wu pointed at Wu Ming, he understood that his two sons were too majestic and not easy for people to get close to, only he was the best to speak, so several grandsons liked to come to him if they had anything.

"Are you Xia Bingyun?" Old Lady Wu turned his head to look at Xia Bingyun, and the smile on his face had disappeared.

"You're the one who has made my grandson swoon for years?"

"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fear that my grandson would be sad, I would have made you disappear a long time ago!"

"Fortunately, my grandson got rid of it again, otherwise, your sins will not be atoned for!"

Looking at his grandfather's anger and a little domineering, Wu Ming thought to himself, perhaps, this is the true face of grandpa. He also knew that Grandpa was beating Xia Bingyun to save Xia Bingyun from beating him again, but he really wanted to say: "Grandpa, there really doesn't have to be like this, this Xia Bingyun is no longer able to confuse me." ”

Old lady Wu intimidated Xia Bingyun for a while, and felt that the effect should have been achieved, so she turned her head and said to Wu Ming with a smile: "Xiao Ming, what you said just now is because she just arrived, so you didn't have time to say it at the dinner table, so what you want to say is related to her?"

"Yes, grandpa!" Wu Ming briefly explained what Xia Bingyun had revealed, "As for the details, let her tell grandpa." ”

"Xia Bingyun, you tell my grandfather the details, as long as you are obedient, we will definitely help you save your mother!" Wu Ming said to Xia Bingyun again.

"Yes. Xia Bingyun was already ashamed at this time, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he replied in a low voice.

Next, Xia Bingyun talked about how Liu Jiang imprisoned her mother, how she coerced her to tempt Wu Ming, and how Liu Jiang coerced her to tempt Wu Zhi after the temptation of Wu Ming failed, and at the same time, she also talked about some secret things she heard from Liu Jiang.

Old lady Wu interjected from time to time to ask.

Half an hour later, Xia Bingyun finished speaking, raised a face with tears and begged: "Old lady Wu, Wu Ming, I beg you, save ......"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a snap, she was stunned and stopped, but a square table in front of her was slapped by Mrs. Wu and had already fallen apart.

"This Liu family, deceive me too much!" Old lady Wu was so angry that she had to open her hair.

"In other things, it's just a little trick, and I actually hit the idea on the head of the next generation of my Wu family! This trick is ruthless, even if our Wu family develops well now, as long as our next generation can't come up, the Wu family will end sooner or later, this is a desperate plan!"

Wu Ming persuaded: "Grandpa, don't worry, this is just Xia Bingyun's words, we still have to find out." ”

He brought Xia Bingyun home because he couldn't judge the truth of what Xia Bingyun said, so he needed to be verified by the forces in his family. Although he doesn't have a good impression of the Liu family, he can't let people be gunslingers.

"Fact, of course we have to check," Old Lady Wu calmed down a little, "However, combined with some of the information we got before, this matter is already inseparable." ”

"Intelligence?" Wu Ming was a little puzzled, in his impression, a family with many masters and great power, others would not dare to provoke it, why should he engage in intelligence?

"Xiao Ming, you are still young," Old Lady Wu had completely calmed down at this time, smiled again, and patiently explained to Wu Ming, "There are many things at home that I haven't told you, and it's normal that you don't know the importance of intelligence." Strength, of course, is important, but unless you have overwhelming power, you still have to play slowly. ”

"Just like our Wu family and Liu family, we are powerful, and the Liu family is not weak. Maybe we have the strength to destroy the Liu family, but if we hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose ourselves by 800, this deal is not cost-effective, and it will only make people reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, we can only slowly consume the other side on the basis of preserving our own strength, which shows the importance of intelligence. ”

"Oh, that's right," Wu Ming understood a little, "Grandpa, what information did you get?"

Old lady Wu said: "Let's just talk about you, you were confused by Xia Bingyun before, we have to investigate, what is going on, is someone secretly playing ghosts? ”

"Grandpa, how did you check?" Wu Mingqi said.

"That's a long story," said Mrs. Wu with a smile, "We have spies, we have internal lines, in short, we will use all the means that can be used." ”

"Spies?" Wu Ming remembered a few times when he went to the city to hang out, "I said how those people kept appearing at that time, and now that I think about it, they should be the spies of the Liu family." ”

I remembered a few times when I went home, there was a man squatting in the corner near the door of the house to sell things, and it was strange at the time, there were not many people passing by in that position, was that person stupid, and now it seems that this person should also be a spy.

Xia Bingyun, who had been silent next to him, suddenly exclaimed: "Spy? Insider? Oh, I'm so confused, I came to your Wu family, I'm afraid I was already discovered by the spies of the Liu family! Even if the spies didn't find out, maybe your Wu family also has an inside line of the Liu family, so I'm afraid that my appearance in your Wu family has also reached Liu Jiang's ears." ”

"It's miserable!" Xia Bingyun stood up, walked around the room, shook his head, "Mom, my daughter is sorry for you!" said that, new tears flowed down her face where the tears were still stained.

"What's the hurry?" Old Lady Wu slapped at a chair next to him again, this time it may not be forceful, the chair was saved.

"Hmm. Xia Bingyun was a little afraid of Old Lady Wu, so she didn't dare to cry anymore, so she sat down again, lowered her head and started worrying.

Wu Ming said: "Grandpa, there is such a possibility. ”

Old lady Wu sighed: "Of course, there is such a possibility, so we must move quickly." Now it seems that there is only one inside line exposed. Xia Bingyun bet on us, and we can't let her chill. ”

"Hmm. Wu Ming nodded.

"Really?" Xia Bingyun raised his head suddenly, with an irrepressible look of joy on his face.

"Don't worry. Old lady Wu said, "What I said, it doesn't count." Actually, when we were investigating Wu Ming's matter, we also found out about your mother, but this matter has little to do with us, so we didn't take it to heart, so we are still sure to save your mother. ”

"Thank you, Old Lady Wu!" Xia Bingyun lay on the ground, kowtowed to Old Lady Wu, just kowtowed twice, couldn't help but be excited in her heart, and cried bitterly.

"Oh, don't cry!" Old Lady Wu said impatiently, turned her head and said to Wu Ming with a smile: "Xiao Ming, where did we talk about just now...... Oh, speaking of Liu Jiang. ”

"At the beginning, when you were confused by Xia Bingyun, we found out about Liu Jiang. At the time, we thought it was just a battle of the spirits of your younger generation, and we didn't take it to heart. Moreover, Grandpa also wants to see if you can come out on your own. If you can't get out, even if Xia Bingyun doesn't tempt you, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything, and as a result, you haven't disappointed grandpa! My grandson is good!"

"Grandpa......" was praised so much in person, Wu Ming was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Old lady Wu paused, "Let's talk about your cousin Wu Zheng, he smokes the Ascending Immortal Grass, and we didn't pay attention to it, but recently, he has become more and more addicted, and once he can't smoke it, he will become very irritable." We felt that something was wrong, so we began to investigate, and it turned out that it was indeed induced, and the spearhead was also directed at the Liu family!"

"Actually, even without Xia Bingyun's information today, we have already begun to guard against the Liu family, but we didn't expect that the Liu family would be even more frantic than we imagined!"

"So, what Xia Bingyun said is true?" Wu Ming said, "Grandpa, what should we do now?"

Old Lady Wu sighed, "Originally, if this kind of thing happened, I would like to destroy the Liu family immediately......! It's not time yet, our advantage over the Liu family is not very obvious, and if we do it with the Liu family now, our losses will be great...... Of course, this matter can't be left at that, but for the time being, we have to continue to forbear. ”

Wu Ming nodded, "I understand, grandpa." ”

Old Lady Wu said again: "The top priority is to protect the three of you. Not letting the Liu family's conspiracy succeed is also a victory. Especially you, Xiao Ming! You defeated the sixth-level martial artist in the competition of the Longmen Immortal Academy, and in a few years, you will be able to fight with the seventh-level martial artist, presumably, now that the Liu family has regarded you as the most threatening person in our Wu family, they are bound to attack you secretly, and any crazy thing may be done, so you must be careful!"

Wu Ming was shocked, it turned out that at this moment, he was already in great danger!

"Grandpa, what are they going to do to me?"

Old Lady Wu pondered, "Longmen Immortal Courtyard, that's the territory of Pingbumen, presumably they don't have the courage to mess around there." The inside line is generally a person who cultivates to be weak and weak, and there is not much threat to you. Then, the only chance is when you are on your way to and from Longmen Immortal Temple, and when you go out. ”

"Xiao Ming, if there is nothing to do in the future, try not to go out. Even if you have to go out, you have to bring enough people. As for the way to and from Longmen Senyuan...... That's how we ......."

"I know grandpa," Wu Ming replied, he didn't want to be harmed by the Liu family, and he didn't want to cause trouble to his family, so he would definitely listen to his grandfather.

"Okay, Xiao Ming, it's not early, you can go back and rest early. I'm going to have a good discussion about this with your uncle and your father. After a while, someone will be arranged to rescue Xia Bingyun's mother. ”

"Grandpa, what should she do then?" Wu Ming looked at Xia Bingyun.

"She, I have my own arrangements!"

When Xia Bingyun heard this, a look of horror appeared on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Wu Ming vaguely understood that today, many of her grandfather's words were listened to by her, presumably, let her stay in the Wu family for a while.

When Wu Ming came out of his grandfather's room, he heard his grandfather's voice come out, "Lao Lin, help me call the eldest and second." ”

"Yes, sir. A deep voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Master, now that the people of the Wu family see their grandfather, they all call grandpa, and only Grandpa Lin can call grandpa. Grandpa Lin is Uncle Lin's father, but he hasn't seen him show up much, it turns out that he is staying by his grandfather's side. Wu Ming thought silently and walked towards his small courtyard.
