Chapter 29: Suspicion
As the patriarch of the Wu family in Wujiabao, under the eyes of everyone, even if there is unwillingness in his heart, Wu Youren can't help but admit that he did lose a move. Turning his head to look at Wu Jizong in the audience, he saw that he bowed slightly, and then he hugged his fist to Liu Weiran, and said indifferently:
"I am ashamed of others, and I admit defeat under him. ”
After speaking, he walked to the center of the ring, bent down to pick up the thunderbolt whip, turned around and walked down the steps of the ring, and stood beside Wu Jizong without saying a word.
Just when Wu Jizong wanted to ask Liu Chaofeng what he meant, whether he wanted to send someone to the stage again, he saw a child of the Liu family come to Liu Chaofeng's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then Liu Chaofeng, whose facial expression did not change at all, raised his head and looked at Wu Jizong opposite and said:
"Now that the three battles have been drawn, it seems that there is no need to compare with Liu. ”
These unexpected words suddenly made Wu Jizong suspicious in his heart. Could it be that the disciple of the Liu family just now came to report the news about Wu Zheng? Or is it that Wu Zheng has already fallen into the hands of the Liu family?
As if to see through the suspicion in Wu Jizong's heart, Liu Chaofeng waved his hand generously, and then said:
"The two truckloads of gravel chips in front of you are temporarily kept by your Wujiabao, as for what happened last night, if Wujiabao is unwilling, you can go to Liulinbao to seek revenge. Of course, if you want to do it now, Liu will also accompany him to the end. ”
said so, but after speaking, he didn't have room to speak to Wu Jizong at all, turned around and took a large group of Liu family disciples, and quickly walked towards Wujiabao Dongshan.
Of course, the disciples of the Wu family of Wujiabao were unwilling to let the Liulinbao people who burned the ancestral hall of the clan leave, but seeing that the real head of the family Wu Jizong did not say a word, the patriarch Wu Youren also did not say anything, and could only verbally scold a few times, and watched the Liulinbao group gradually disappear into the woods along the Nanxi.
"Third uncle?"
It wasn't until he couldn't see Liu Chaofeng and the others anymore that Wu Youren called Wu Jizong in confusion.
"I'll talk about it later. ”
Wu Jizong turned around and took the lead in crossing Nanxi and walking towards the fort.
Wu Jixue, who never spoke from beginning to end, followed closely behind, followed by the patriarch Wu Youren.
However, Wu Youren still said to the children of the Wu family who were present and indignant in their hearts:
"It's a long time coming, let's go back for the time being. ”
When Wu Jizong passed by Wu Gan, who was standing on a high place, he said casually:
"Sir, if it's okay, you might as well come and discuss it with us. ”
In terms of generation, Wu Gan is a generation younger than Wu Jizong, and in terms of age, Wu Gan is more than ten years younger. However, Wu Gan was not born in a close branch of the Wu family in Wujiabao, and was even farther away than the branch of Wu Zheng's family. In addition, since returning from traveling for more than ten years 14 years ago, he has been a private school teacher in Wujiabao, so no matter who sees Wu Gan in the fort, he is called Mr., even Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue are no exception.
"Third uncle, I'm still not going. I didn't sleep well last night, so let's go home and make up for it. ”
Although Wu Jizong called him Mr., Wu Gan was still humbly accustomed to calling Wu Jizong and others by the seniority of the clan.
Hearing that Wu Gan rejected himself, Wu Jizong didn't take it seriously and walked forward by himself.
It stands to reason that as a private school teacher, he has the same status as Wu Chun, the head of the martial arts, and is also a core member of Wu Jiabao, but Wu Gan, who has never liked to participate in the affairs of the clan, has basically faded out of the sight of Wu Jizong and others.
It turned out that the room used for deliberations on one side of the ancestral hall had already been turned to ashes in the fire last night, so Wu Youren invited Wu Jizong, Wu Jixue, Wu Liwei, Wu Chun, and Wu Lishan, who was specially running errands for them, to his home.
After driving his wife and children out of the hall and the six people sitting down one after another, Wu Jizong pondered for a while before asking Wu Chun:
"According to you, that man is very skilled?"
"Third Grandfather, although I didn't fight, I could see that just that man's agile pace in the shrubs and mountains was by no means comparable to me. Moreover, the man was clearly not doing his best, but was only trying to lead us astray. If the other party does it with all his might, I'm afraid it will be impossible to see one of his backs. ”
Hearing this, Wu Jixue suddenly asked:
"It doesn't feel familiar at all. ”
Wu Chun shook his head, and then said:
The man obviously shrank his body on purpose, and at first glance he didn't look as tall as Wu Yigao, but he could still feel that the person's age should not be young. ”
"How old do you think he is?"
"To say the least, it should be around fifty. ”
"Just by feeling?"
Wu Chun nodded.
Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue no longer asked Wu Chun, but pondered at the same time.
Even if Wu Chun feels inaccurate, among the Wu family members in Wujiabao, there are only a few people who can make Wu Chun, who has always been confident, dare not look up to him, regardless of age or age. Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue were two, and there were a few old guys. It's just that those few people, not to mention that the ancestral hall was burned, as long as someone didn't hit their own door, they would never take action easily, how could they be unnormal for the sake of Wu Zheng? The key is that I have never heard that a few of them have any friendship with Wu Lipeng's upper and lower generations.
Could it be that he also came to the thing in the pit next to the ancestral grave?!
Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue, who thought of this, glanced at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time.
How could someone who was almost on the verge of death still be interested in such things?
Besides, since the discovery of the stone chips with handwriting in the pit, Wu Youren and Wu Chun arranged for disciples to be on duty at each exit of Wujiabao as soon as possible, and they have never heard a report about those old guys leaving the fort.
"Tomohito?"
Wu Youren understood what Wu Jizong wanted to ask, and immediately shook his head and gave a clear answer.
"Who could it be?"
In this matter, Wu Liwei and Wu Lishan could not intervene, so they could only sit quietly and listen.
Wu Jizong, who couldn't think of a result after thinking about it, shook his head and said to Wu Youren and Wu Chun:
"Don't care who that person is, there are two top priorities, one is to continue to send people out to search for Wu Zheng, and the other is to find out whether Wu Zheng has fallen into the hands of the Liu family. ”
Regarding Liu Chaofeng's performance today, Wu Jizong is really skeptical. According to Liu Chaofeng's consistent style of acting, today's competition will never give up without a result. In other words, the two carts of gravel with handwriting, Liu Chaofeng will never return to Liulinbao if he does not get it. Otherwise, Liu Chaofeng would not have led people to sneak into the fort in the middle of the night, and also burned down the Wu family ancestral hall, the intention was already very obvious, naturally he had already made up his mind to provoke the Wu family in Wujiabao, so as to fight to the death, so as to take the opportunity to snatch the broken stone with handwriting cleaned up in the pit.
In this case, if it weren't for other unexpected changes, how could Liu Chaofeng suddenly change his mind?
"Wu Chun, did anyone find anything suspicious about the people in Liulin Fort at that time?"
"Grandpa, after being introduced into the mountains by that mysterious figure at that time, when we found out, the three Liu Shijin sent by Liulinbao were gone. However, when we wanted to return next, on the main road southeast of Houpo Village, we still saw the figure of Liu Shijin and the three of them. It's just that there is no Wu Zheng around the three of them, and it doesn't look like they have discovered or are tracking Wu Zheng. ”
"What were they doing?"
"Since we had already alarmed the people in Houpo Village, we just watched Liu Shijin and the three of us from a distance for a while, and saw that they seemed to be discussing something on the road, and then entered the wilderness behind Dabei Mountain, which should be back to Liulinbao. ”
"Who lit Luo Xudong's cowshed?"
"It must be the mysterious man, because when we entered, the cowshed was already smoking, and then Liu Shijin and the three of them entered the courtyard. ”
