Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Pine Welcomes Guests, and the Lonely Crane Has No Heart
The smell in the dark passage is not good, at the beginning of a section of the road is fine, it may be still within the scope of Guofu, and then a section of the road mildew smell is getting heavier and heavier, the knife shines on the surroundings with a torch, the moss is covered with the top of the dark passage, from time to time there are water droplets dripping, unknown rattan hanging down, although the smell is unpleasant, but in addition to the inevitable dust along the way, this secret passage is exceptionally clean.

The knife estimated that it should have been half an hour, and walked a long way in the wind, and gradually dried up in the dark passage, and suddenly there were two roads in front, and Steward Zhou did not hesitate to lead everyone to the right, and the knife looked at the other road was dark and cool, and it seemed that there was a breath of death buried in front of him, presumably in the time of danger to make another preparation.
At the beginning, the ancestors of the Guo family didn't know how much manpower and material resources were spent on building this secret passage, and judging from the fact that the secret passage was still so clean, it should have never been used. I don't know if the Guo family thought about what kind of land the Guo family would fall into when they really wanted to use the financial resources and prestige they had accumulated over the past hundred years.
After walking for a while, stairs began to appear in the secret passage, and every third or fourth step appeared a short flat path, just like when he first went down the secret passage from the secret room, the knife knew that the exit was ahead. It was another long staircase, Steward Zhou pressed the mechanism on the side of the wall, a series of chain sounds, a stone door slowly opened on the top, and a faint light shot into the secret passage, but for the few people who walked in the dark secret passage for nearly an hour by torch lighting, this light seemed to be as dazzling as a rebirth.
The knives walked out of the secret passage one by one, it was a very dilapidated room, full of all kinds of miscellaneous items, and the place where they came out was the stone bed of this room.
"You guys take a rest here now, and I'll go find the shopkeeper Zhao in the store. Steward Zhou looked at everyone who had been in the secret passage for so long, and they were vaguely embarrassed.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, is it Uncle Zhao Song?" asked Guo Xue in surprise.
Steward Zhou reluctantly squeezed out a smile, his face became more and more pale, "Yes." ”
"Uncle Zhou, your face is getting more and more ugly, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaodao also felt strange, Steward Zhou was very talkative when he was not in front of Guo Zhengyang, but today was indeed extraordinarily silent, at first he thought that Steward Zhou was depressed and unwilling to speak for a while because of such a major change in Guo's mansion, but now it seems that his face is pale, is he seriously injured, Xiaodao grabbed Steward Zhou's pulse, the pulse is intermittent, but it will suddenly stop after a few times.
"How is it, Brother Meng?" Guo Xue was very anxious.
"There is a rhythm between the intermittents, but the repetition is long. The knife gently lowered Steward Zhou's hand.
"It's a sign of dirty decay. Shi Yunkai walked over, luck from Steward Zhou's chest to his abdomen, back and forth three times, his palm qi returned to the dantian, and he frowned and looked at Steward Zhou, "You already know." ”
"I already know. But I have already explained the important things, so I will go to the shopkeeper Zhao, and the rest of the matter can only be entrusted to him. ”
"Uncle Zhou, you... Guo Xue watched Steward Zhou push the door out, still reluctant.
"Xue'er, Steward Zhou may not survive tonight. Shi Yunkai said helplessly, "He has all his internal organs, and it is a miracle that he can survive until now." ”
"To be able to injure Steward Zhou like this, this person's skill is not under Xu Jun's order, I don't remember that there were such masters in the courtyard at that time. Tang Tian analyzed on the side.
Shi Yunkai said angrily:
"Well, you're right, it seems that Xu Jun's strength is extraordinary. In today's battle, Shaolin Temple's Jingren personally killed his senior brother Jingxian with a strong King Kong finger, I estimate that this account will definitely be counted on Brother Guo's body at that time, but I didn't expect Xu Junming to even buy the master of Shaolin. ”
"Brother Shi... ”
"Ahh ”
Shi Yunkai smiled and hurriedly held Guo Zhengyang's hand, "I'm here, Brother Guo!", Shi Yunkai took Guo Zhengyang's pulse smoothly, "Great, the pulse is up and down, I know that you are not so easy to die, as long as you take care of the external injuries and straighten out your breath, we will find another opportunity to take revenge."
"Here it is... Guo Zhengyang looked around.
"This is the Sunset Inn, Steward Zhou took us from the secret passage. Guo Xue replied on the side.
"That... Where's Steward Zhou?" Guo Zhengyang was still a little weak.
"I'm going to find Shopkeeper Zhao. Steward Zhou happened to come in from outside the door at this time, and there was another person who came in with him, about forty years old, dressed as an innkeeper, although his beard was a little long, and his face was a little old, but Guo Xue still recognized it at a glance, this is the Uncle Zhao he knew more than ten years ago.
"Zhao Song saw the leader of the alliance. Shopkeeper Zhao walked straight to Guo Zhengyang and knelt on the ground.
Guo Zhengyang gently pressed Zhao Song's hand and said with a slight smile: "I've suffered you all these years." ”
"By the way, Uncle Zhao, why didn't you say goodbye back then?" asked Guo Xue suspiciously.
"It wasn't that I didn't say goodbye, but the lord gave me a very important task, at that time, there was an undercurrent in the martial arts, and the lord ordered me to take over the Sunset Inn and rebuild the secret passage, and I have been staying in this inn for more than ten years. There are only three or five guests on weekdays, but they steal a leisure. Just now I heard Jin Ling flickering in the room, and I knew that if the situation was not very serious, this Jin Ling would not ring, so I ran out without even wearing shoes, and met the housekeeper last week halfway. Zhao Song rubbed his feet embarrassedly.
"I'll go prepare some water for you to freshen up and some food. Zhao Song smiled and quietly walked out of the door again.
Seven Stars Hall, 5th floor.
"Hahahaha, it's a different taste to watch the fire here. Brother Yang, what do you say?" Xu Junming set up a banquet on the Seven Stars Hall, and there was only one person on the seat, and that was Yang He.
"If it weren't for Brother Yang's clever plan, how could I have eliminated Guo Zhengyang so smoothly, and you should be the first to take the lead in this battle. ”
"Thank you landlord, although Guo Mansion is gone, Guo Zhengyang is still there, and he is not so easy to die. ”
"Are you saying that it is still possible for them to escape from this fire?" Xu Junming looked at Yang He in disbelief, he knew that this person didn't talk much and never talked nonsense.
"I've heard that there is a secret passage in the Guo family before, but he probably never revealed it to me in the slightest, today's burning of the Guo Mansion, although the Seven Star Building can have fewer casualties, but if that secret passage is in that small building, wouldn't it also give him a chance to escape?"
"This... Xu Junming was speechless for a while, and secretly scolded Nan Luyang in his heart for what the hell he had an idea.
"Landlord, I think that for today's plan, I can only continue to send more people to find out the news, and Guo Gongzi's side will entertain you for a few days, don't wait to die, it will be very useful at that time." ”
Xu Mou ordered to go down. Forehead... Hehe... ”
"Is there anything else the landlord wants to ask?"
"I don't know something, Brother Yang didn't say anything before, to be honest, Xu Mou has always been skeptical, and I didn't believe that Brother Yang is my true brother until today, I don't know why Brother Yang hates Guo Zhengyang so much?"
"Is the hatred of taking a wife enough?"
"Wife-snatching?"
"That's good!" Yang He looked at Xu Junming coldly, "You don't have to think about who it is, it's the deceased Mrs. Guo, Lin Jingyin." ”
"Brother Yang and Mrs. Guo had a relationship?"
"Mrs. Guo was originally my distant cousin, after the death of my aunt, she came to join me, we were childhood sweethearts, but I hated that Guo Zhengyang relied on the power of the family, and deceived her in less than three months. I... I've been swallowing my anger for so many years, and I'm waiting for today. Yang He gritted his teeth and giggled angrily.
"Guo Zhengyang has evil retribution, Brother Yang, I will definitely root Guo Mansion and help you repay the hatred of taking your wife. You can eat this table of delicacies, and when I catch Guo Zhengyang, I will definitely have a generous gift. ”
After Xu Junming finished speaking, he walked downstairs alone. As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Nan Luyang and Wu Qingliang standing respectfully at the door, and the two of them saw Xu Jun's order to come down, and hurriedly came forward.
"Tell me to go down, and Guo Gongzi's wine and beauty are so entertaining. ”
"Yes! Wu Qingliang raised his head slightly and looked at Xu Junming's face, and bowed his head respectfully.
"Hmph, that old slave, I really think how powerful you are, you are all respectful in front of people, and send more people to find Guo Zhengyang, you want to see people alive and corpses when you die. After confirming whether Guo Zhengyang is dead or alive, we will clean him up!"
