After returning to their residence, Huang Weijie and Ye Zhenshan asked the accompanying personnel to be on guard to prevent the middle-aged man with a mustache from suddenly attacking. After all, this is the territory of the Merit Sect. If the middle-aged man with a mustache is unfavorable to them, they will But we are in a passive situation.
After dinner, Lu Changhe came. When there was a conflict with the middle-aged man with a mustache at noon today, Lian'er asked the guards to invite Lu Changhe. But unfortunately, Lu Changhe went to work outside the town and did not come back until the evening. He rushed over to understand the situation without even bothering to eat.
Huang Weijie received Lu Changhe in the living room. He was the leader of the Dongting Lake group, so he naturally had to deal with Lu Changhe. The conversation between the two in the living room was passed down word for word by the maids serving in the room. Lian'er, Bai Yu, Ye Zhenshan and others were waiting in the wing of the courtyard next door.
Tan Zong was holding a wooden tiger in his hand, sitting on the chair behind Lian'er and playing with it enthusiastically. While playing, he secretly listened to the news from the maids.
Tan Zong secretly sneered at Lu Changhe's "coincidence" to go outside the town. He would not believe that there could be such a coincidence: Lu Changhe didn't go out early or late, but waited for Lian'er. He and Bai Yu left when they were in trouble, obviously just sitting back and watching the situation worsen.
But it¡¯s a pity that the one-eyed burly man is strong on the outside but capable on the inside, but he is a useless silver-like wax spear head, which prevents a serious conflict between the two parties.
"Why do I feel that Lu Changhe's visit this time is a bit like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken?" After listening to the maids' reports, Ye Zhenshan put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Lian'er, Bai Yu and others with some suspicion. He didn't believe that Lu Changhe would be so kind as to come over to visit them.
"Brother Zhenshan, don't you think it's a coincidence that Lu Changhe is not at home this time?" Bai Yu heard this and said to Lu Changhe with a smile.
"Are you saying that this old boy is behind the scenes?" Hearing this, Ye Zhenshan was startled for a moment, and then looked at Bai Yu in surprise. He really hadn't thought of this, but he just felt that Lu Changhe had gone too far this time. It's just too abnormal.
"We have no grudges here. We have never offended anyone at all. But the drunk man at noon today obviously came to make trouble. Apart from Lu Changhe, I really can't think of anyone who would do this!" Er pondered for a moment and said worriedly to everyone in the room, "It seems that Lu Changhe is planning to put us to death. Even if we can escape this disaster, I'm afraid he will play some tricks later."
After Lian'er finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into silence, and everyone's mood became heavy. This is the territory of the Merit Sect. If Lu Changhe secretly causes trouble, they will not be able to prevent it.
"Miss, Master, what's wrong, the people who caused trouble in the restaurant at noon came to our door!" Just when the room was silent, a maid hurriedly walked in and called Lian'er and Ye Zhen in a panic. Shan and others said.
"Don't panic, tell me if you have something to do?" Seeing the maid panting while running, Lian'er frowned slightly and said calmly.
"Miss Lian'er, someone from the Gongde Sect came just now and invited you, Third Young Master, Zhenshan Young Master, and Miss Yu'er to come over tomorrow night!" The maid stabilized her mind and hurriedly said to Lian'er, "Protector Lu knows the former The person who came to deliver the message said that he was the steward of Deputy Leader Liu of the Merit Sect."
"Deputy Leader Liu?" Hearing this, Lian'er and the others couldn't help being surprised. No one expected that the middle-aged man with a mustache had such a big background.
"Interesting!" Tan Zong's eyes suddenly flashed with light. Like Lian'er and others, he did not expect that the deputy leader of the Merit Sect would be involved. However, for him, the greater the background of the other party, the more difficult it would be for him. Easy access to as many insiders as possible.
"What does Protector Lu mean?" Lian'er quickly calmed down and asked the maid in a sweet voice.
"It concerns Deputy Leader Liu of the Merit Sect. Protector Lu said there is nothing he can do, but he will try his best to deal with it. Please be careful when the time comes." The maid said to Lian'er with an anxious look on her face.
Try your best to deal with it? Tan Zong couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Then Lu Changhe would definitely add insult to injury and sow discord between Lian'er and the others and that deputy leader Liu. Although this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife was old-fashioned, it was very effective for Lian'er and the others who were trapped in the enemy's territory. It is undoubtedly a big trouble.
"Lian'er, tomorrow night is the Hongmen Banquet. What should we do, go or not?" There was a conflict with the middle-aged man with a mustache just at noon. It is definitely not a good thing for the deputy leader of the Merit Sect to treat guests at this sensitive time. Ye Zhenshan looked at Lian'er seriously. If the other party set an ambush during the banquet, they would never return.
?"Go, of course I'm going. I think a dignified deputy gang leader won't embarrass us juniors." Lian'er couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "At most, he will give us a warning. Before we get the batch of treasures under the Dragon King Temple, He will never do anything to us."
Tan Zong knew that Lian'er was right. The deputy leader of the Gongde Sect came forward, presumably to resolve the grudges between Lian'er and the others and the middle-aged man with a mustache. As the so-called giving both kindness and power, he would definitely give Lian'er and the others some relief while adjusting. People should look at it a little bit in order to maintain the majesty of merit teaching.
"In that case, let's go to the banquet tomorrow night to see what he is up to!" Ye Zhenshan heard this and felt that Lian'er was right. He punched the table beside him with a blank expression. He said, "I will choose some good players to follow. If he dares to act rashly, we will fight with them!"
Although Lian'er felt that the deputy leader of the Gongde Sect would not attack them at tomorrow night's dinner, nothing was absolute. For the sake of safety, she still discussed with Wan Changsheng and others who stayed at home to deal with various emergencies. The countermeasures asked Wan Changsheng and others to wait cautiously at home.
The next night, Lian'er, Bai Yu, Huang Weijie and Ye Zhenshan happily went to Deputy Gang Leader Liu's drinking date.
Tan Zong naturally refused to let go of such an opportunity to get close to the top leaders of the Merit Sect, so he pestered Lian'er and Bai Yu to go together. Since he was usually inseparable from Lian'er and Bai Yu, no one would suspect that he had any other intentions.
Lian'er and Bai Yu were relieved to keep Tan Zong at home. For them, going to the banquet was as dangerous as staying at home. If deputy gang leader Liu killed them at the banquet, then those who stayed at home would be Humans are absolutely not immune.
Furthermore, although Tan Zong is stupid, he is extremely powerful. Even if a dozen big men come together, they may not be able to subdue him. If Tan Zong is brought along, then the key moment may be useful. Unexpected effects.
Therefore, Lian'er, Bai Yu, and Huang Weijie decided to take Tan Zong to the banquet. Although deputy gang leader Liu did not invite Tan Zong, Tan Zong was a patient who needed Lian'er and Bai Yu's care, and could only be taken care of by the two of them. Others People are not good at all. They both went to the banquet, so Tan Zong naturally had to go too. This is understandable and is not considered rude.
Before leaving, Lian'er repeatedly told Tan Zong not to talk when he arrived at Deputy Gang Leader Liu's house, and to listen to her and Bai Yu in everything. Tan Zong nodded and agreed with a smile. Anyway, he was only going there. I went to meet Deputy Leader Liu, not wanting to cause any accidents.
When Tan Zong and his party arrived at Deputy Gang Leader Liu¡¯s house in the southwest of the town, a tall, lanky middle-aged man was already waiting outside the gate, ushering everyone into the yard.
"Everyone, wait a moment. My master will be here soon." After sitting down in the living room in the front yard, the tall and thin middle-aged man smiled at them after the maids served Tan Zong, Lian'er and others fragrant tea. He said and then left.
Lian'er secretly winked at Bai Yu, Huang Weijie, and Ye Zhenshan, and the four of them sat there calmly and sipped tea, waiting for the arrival of deputy gang leader Liu.
Tan Zong doesn't like drinking tea, and he doesn't want to drink tea. He was knocked down twice by Zhao Yuzhao and Lian'er with medicinal numbing. He has long been wary of tea and wine outside, and will never touch those things easily to avoid Falling for someone else¡¯s trick.
As for the "immortal poison", although Lian'er never told Tan Zong whether it was poison or not, since Tan Zong unfortunately became a fool, Lian'er never mentioned the antidote, nor did she look for it. Gu Tiancheng prepared an antidote for Tan Zong. From this, Tan Zong could infer that the "immortal poison" was just an anesthetic. Otherwise, based on his current relationship with Lian'er, Lian'er would have to detoxify him no matter what. .
Thinking that he had been nervous about the poisoning for a long time, Tan Zong couldn't help but secretly feel funny. In fact, he should have realized from Lian'er's kind character that the "immortal poison" was not poison, but because His life was at stake, and he was so cautious that he stayed on tenterhooks for so long.
However, as the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. If Lian'er hadn't given Tan Zong the "immortal downfall", then Tan Zong might still be helpless to deal with the chaos in Huguang, and it would be difficult to find an effective breakthrough to solve the chaos in Huguang. .
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." Just as Tan Zong finished chewing an apple and reached for the orange in the fruit plate, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. He couldn't help but look towards the door and saw a man in his forties or fifties. The extraordinary elegant middle-aged man walked in with a smile, bowed his hands to Huang Weijie, Lian'er and others in the room, and said loudly.
After seeing the elegant middle-aged man, Tan Zong couldn't help but frown slightly. He felt that this elegant middle-aged man had an aura that he was familiar with - official aura. If he hadn't been an official before, and still Anyone who has served as an official in a high-level position will never have the faint official air of a refined middle-aged man.
Did this person serve as an official in the imperial court before? Looking at the elegant middle-aged man, Tan Zong couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind.
However, before Tan Zong could think more, he was stunned the next moment because he saw a person he absolutely did not want to see following behind the elegant middle-aged man.
