Chapter 447: Night Crisis
At this time, Wu Batian saw this group of people giving himself face like this, although he didn't understand what happened to make these people so nervous, but he was really happy, so he didn't say any more nonsense to these people, and soon left the tavern and followed Shi Hao and the others back to the strange goods house.
------------------------
This night, in the courtyard of the Zhou family, in a soundproof secret room, Lord Yoshida and Zhou Mei were discussing things together.
Zhou Mei asked: "What you said, how did you do it, and can the plan be completed?" ”
Yoshida-sama smiled, "Don't worry, the first batch of people have already come in today, and the things have been smoothly put in the carriage and brought in, everything is under my control." Not surprisingly, at this time next month, his baby son Xiahou will be able to control the entire Xiahou family. It's just that when the time comes, don't forget that the Xiahou family and the Zhou family must serve me unconditionally for three years. ”
Zhou Mei nodded in agreement and smiled slightly, but she didn't know what she was thinking......
------------------------
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed. In the past month, Ah Shui's injuries have almost healed, and he no longer needs to be in a wheelchair and can take care of himself freely, but Ah Shui is still habitually entangled with the fire peony, and the two are very close. In addition, Ah Shui accepted the fact that her appearance was ruined completely and optimistically, and her mentality had recovered very well, which was also thanks to the help of Fire Peony.
And on this day, Shi Hao and the others received a special invitation from Xiahou Yuan to go to Xiahou Mansion as guests, saying that there was someone who needed Shi Hao and others to take a look.
So, early in the morning, Ah Ju, Ah Shui and Huo Peony stayed in the strange goods house to guard, and Shi Hao and others came to Xiahou Mansion, and under the personal leadership of Xiahou Yuan, they came to a secret room and met the person Xiahou Yuan asked them to meet - Pang De!
Let's talk about it, since Xiahou Yuan brought Pang De back to Xiahou Mansion, every day he has asked the doctor to go to great lengths to treat him, hoping to make Pang De recover as soon as possible, and let Xiahou Yuan know if Ma Yunlu had an accident as soon as possible. And under these efforts, Pound did recover quickly, and his body, which was tortured to almost no vitality, actually got better in a month and was able to regain consciousness.
It's just that after Pang De regained consciousness, he refused to say anything to Xiahou Yuan, not to say that he was willing to reveal Ma Yunlu's affairs after meeting Shi Hao and others. In desperation, Xiahou Yuan could only invite Shi Hao and others to come here to see Pang De and let Pang De tell Ma Yunlu's situation.
At this time, Pang De was still lying on the bed, and when he saw Shi Hao and others appear, he immediately said to Shi Hao happily: "Uncle, it's really here, it's great, it's great to come." While speaking, Pound overdid it with some excitement, almost causing the explosion of some injuries in his body that had not fully recovered, and Pound couldn't help coughing and gasping for breath.
Shi Hao hurriedly stepped forward to appease Pang De and said, "Don't worry, we are here, what is the matter, say." ”
Pound slowly said the matter one by one.
It turned out that after Pang De's thinking about it that day, in order to ensure Ma Yunlu's safety, he planned to take Ma Yunlu to Jianghan County to get the shelter of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, after all, Ma Teng also had some friendship with Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, so as long as he arrived in Jianghan County, Ma Yunlu would probably be completely safe. It's just that on the way to Jianghan County with Ma Yunlu, Pang De vaguely felt that someone had discovered their traces and was gathering people to arrest the two of them. In desperation, Pang De could only take the risk of letting Ma Yunlu go alone, while Pang De stayed to delay time. In the end, Pound was besieged by a group of people and was captured due to physical exhaustion.
After listening to Pang De's words, on the side, Xiahou Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still hurriedly sent someone out to Jianghan County to contact and inquire whether Ma Yunlu had successfully arrived in Jianghan County. And after Xiahou Yuan ordered all these matters, he set up a table of wine banquets and invited Shi Hao and others to stay for the banquet.
------------------------
On the banquet, there are countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, singing and dancing, Xiahou Yuan raised his glass and drank a few times, but said to Shi Hao and others with the strength of the wine: "It's been a month since I came here, I don't know when I plan to return to South China, in my opinion, just wait for Ma Yunlu to come back, and we will take Ma Yunlu and Pang De back together, after all, this Central China region is not Ma Teng's territory, and it is not suitable for them to be here. ”
When Shi Hao and the others heard this, they looked at each other, and finally, Shi Hao said: "In this case, it is better for us to be respectful." With that, Shi Hao motioned with his eyes to a few people to prepare to leave.
So, not long after, Shi Hao and the others found an excuse to leave the banquet at Xiahou's house. They soon returned to the Strange Goods House, and the two of them were together again to discuss the matter.
Zhu Ni said: "This Xiahou Yuan didn't know why, he actually wanted to drive us back to South China. ”
Feng Tianhao said: "Actually, even if he wants to drive us away, as long as we rely on the odd goods house, he can't do it." This place is already ours, and he has no right to drive it away. ”
Shi Hao said: "That's right, Xiahou Yuan can't really drive us away, but Xiahou Yuan must have his reason when he said this, maybe he himself noticed something, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he deliberately came to give us a hint." ”
Wang Wen asked, "It is said that Xiahou Yuan is deliberately hinting at something about us, what can it be?" ”
Shi Hao said: "I guess, he either knows about our relationship with Xiahou Ping and reminds us not to interfere in the private affairs of the Xiahou family and take the lead." Or, or he himself is aware of some hidden dangers in Xianyang Town, and is afraid that we will be involved in disputes and persecuted for no reason if we stay here, so that he will not be able to explain to Ma Teng. ”
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao and the others discussed for a while, but they still couldn't come to a positive conclusion, they just felt that something was wrong, and decided that several people took turns to go to the outside of Xiahou Mansion to secretly guard in case of accidents. And in a blink of an eye, it also came to this evening.
At this time, it was late at night, and I saw that the streets and alleys had gradually become less crowded, but the Zhou family was still brightly lit and bright.
I saw that in the lobby of the Zhou family, Lord Yoshida sat high on the main seat in the center, and under him sat the elders and children of the Zhou family, and Zhou Mei was also sitting in it. In addition, many of Yoshida-sama's men and swords were surrounded by swords around the lobby, and the security was extremely tight, and it was really leaky.
