In the hall of the Huang family's mansion, at this time, there were only three people in black robes, Huang Shikun and Manager Li, and there were two servants and Ma Changyun standing at the door, and the entire hall was silent, but the sound of Ji Nu from not far away could still be faintly heard.

After the black-robed man respectfully handed a scroll to Huang Shikun, Huang Shikun waved his hand and asked people to wait for him to go down and rest.

And right now, although Huang Shikun hadn't opened the scroll yet, he could guess what was recorded on the scroll, his face was not only complicated, but even the hand holding the scroll trembled faintly.

He gave Ma Changyun a look first, Ma Changyun understood, nodded immediately, and gently closed the door, Huang Shikun watched the gap between the two doors close, and then he couldn't wait to open the scroll.

Directly above the scroll is a line of small characters: Bai Family's Three Youths - Bai Xiao.

Immediately after, there is a portrait below.

This portrait is poorly made, only black ink color, but the painting and calligraphy people are really good at painting, only by the outline of black ink, the characters in the portrait have been fully outlined.

I saw that the figure in the portrait was fat, with a round belly, and a faint cowardice and obscenity on his face.

Although the character image is not as expressive as it is painted, Huang Shikun still recognizes him at a glance!!

In an instant, Huang Shikun's whole body was shocked, his eyes became straight, and even the portrait in his hand that had not been fully unfolded was suddenly unable to be grasped by him, and he fell to the ground with his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Actually...... It's him! ”

Manager Li has always been standing by Huang Shikun's side, he now knows the truth about the front line, at this time, carefully picking up the scroll that fell on the ground, the old face can't help but become weird: "Young master...... The three of them just left early this morning! ”

"I know!" Huang Shikun almost squeezed this sentence out of his teeth.

Manager Li looked at Huang Shikun, who had a gloomy face, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that they received the news before us?" That's why you left early? ”

Huang Shikun gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Impossible!" They must not know about this matter at all, otherwise, even if he had to live in my Huang family's mansion a week ago, he would never let us see Bai Xiao! ”

Manager Li knew that Huang Shikun had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly added: "Young master...... I mean, did they just get the news this morning and leave before they were too late? ”

"Surely it can't be!" Huang Shikun shook his head firmly and said: "The degree of secrecy of this matter must only be known to our Huang family, even if the news leaks out, it will be spread to other families first, and it is impossible for them to know first!" ”

Manager Li hurriedly reminded: "But the identity of that Boss Wang is not simple!" Maybe he really knew about it in advance through a special channel! ”

Huang Shikun was silent for a while, and asked for a long time: "Have the three of them gone out these days?" Or contact with outsiders? Or is there a carrier pigeon flying to our Huang family? ”

Manager Li didn't think about it, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Young Master, if you don't let me arrange someone to spy on them, I don't dare to make my own decisions!" ”

Huang Shikun's face turned pale in an instant, and it took a long time to snatch the scroll, open it completely, take a closer look at it, and then carefully look at the annotation of Bai Xiao's character at the bottom of the scroll.

Then, he shook his head comfortably and sighed: "It shouldn't be possible, when the three of them said goodbye to me today, they couldn't see any abnormal reactions at all, even if that Boss Wang and another person were very deep in the city and I couldn't see it, that little young master like Bai Xiao who had not set foot in the world, even if he disguised himself well, he could see some clues on his face." ”

The more he talked, the more anxious he became, and when he heard the faint laughter of Ji Nujiao outside, Huang Shikun suddenly frowned, and shouted angrily at Ma Changyun, who was guarding outside: "Ma Weichang, go and call my uncle to me!" ”

Ma Changyun's answer came from outside the door, and after that, he heard the sound of Ma Changyun walking away and walking farther and farther.

Manager Li looked at Huang Shikun, who had an ugly face, and reminded: "Young master, the three of them have already left for a day!" It was useless to pursue it again. Are we thinking about sending someone to chase ...... now?"

Before he finished his sentence, Huang Shikun suddenly snorted coldly: "Wait until my uncle comes!" ”

Manager Li hurriedly closed his mouth, but looking at Huang Shikun's face full of struggle, a trace of sigh flashed in his eyes.

It didn't take long for the main entrance of the hall to be pushed open, and the person who came was Huang Shikun's uncle Huang Chong, but his thick beard had been shaved clean, although his body was still thin, but his face was angular, and it could be vaguely seen from the protruding muscle lines on his neck that he was not as weak as he seemed to be.

It's just that he obviously came in a hurry, and the moment he pushed open the door, he buttoned up his trouser belt, and said with some anxiety and a little reproach: "Shikun, your guard chief told me that someone brought the news to the front line, if this matter is fake, don't blame me for breaking your guard chief's neck!" ”

Huang Shikun knew from his appearance that he had just climbed off from Ji Nu, and he couldn't help frowning, and said with some displeasure: "Isn't it better than a woman under you when I call you here?" ”

Huang Chong frowned slightly, his face gloomy: "So, your guard commander really lied to me?" ”

Huang Shikun couldn't help but feel a little helpless, he didn't want to waste more time here, grabbed the scroll and handed it to Huang Chong, and said angrily: "Uncle, look for yourself, this is the portrait of the three young men of the Bai family from the front line." ”

Huang Chong's face suddenly softened a lot, he didn't care about Huang Shikun's tone, he took the scroll and immediately read it, and then, he suddenly looked at Huang Shikun with a little reproach: "Shikun, you should send someone to copy a few more copies of this portrait now, and then quickly pass it on and ask someone to find it among the people, instead of calling me over and asking me what to do!" ”

Huang Shikun couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "I'm the city lord of Tuye City, so I don't need to ask you what to do!" ”

Huang Chong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Huang Shikun forcibly held back his anger and said to Mr. Li: "Uncle Li, tell my uncle the facts!" ”

Huang Chong suddenly became a little stunned again.

Manager Li quickly told Huang Chong about Wang Sancai, including the fact that he later took Bai Xiao to stay in the Huang family's mansion and left early this morning.

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Chong heard this, he immediately calmed down and sat down on the chair.

Huang Shikun took a deep breath and said patiently: "Uncle, I don't want to quarrel with you now, let alone talk to you about Ji Nu, you also know now, the identity of that Boss Wang must not be simple, I didn't expect that the fat man next to him was actually the third young master of the Bai family, otherwise, I would definitely not let the three of them leave early this morning." ”

Obviously, these days, the uncle and nephew have accumulated a lot of contradictions, and Huang Chong immediately gave him a blank look: "You left him?" According to your nature, what can you do if you leave him? ”

"Of course, I discussed with him about the third young master of the Bai family, anyway, he also took him in from the city, and the accumulation of feelings must not be deep!" Huang Shikun suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to say his thoughts: "Since he has exchanged high-grade yuan stones with our Huang family for infinitely, it proves that he still has a good impression of our Huang family, maybe he was sent by some mysterious force to help us, as long as we discuss it with him, he will definitely give us the third young master of the Bai family!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Although Huang Chong patiently listened to Huang Shikun's narration, he obviously disdained: "Since he has already left, it means that he never thought of handing over the third young master of the Bai family to us!" ”

Huang Shikun continued to suppress his anger: "Maybe he doesn't know what we encountered at all!" If he knew that my father was now in the hands of the king, maybe he might hand Bai Xiao over to us! ”

Huang Chong glared at Huang Shikun helplessly: "Shikun, you are so naΓ―ve!" ”

Huang Shikun was very unconvinced: "What about my uncle's opinion?" ”

"Kill the two bosses, of course! Grab Bai Xiao! Huang Chong looked disdainful: "Without them, this matter is not easy to leak, besides, Bai Xiao can also fall into our hands one hundred percent!" ”

"Impossible! I'm not going to do that! Huang Shikun's tone was resolute: "Others are kind to me, how can I take revenge?" Even if Boss Wang doesn't have any forces behind him, I will never raise a weapon against him! ”

Huang Chong just wanted to refute, but he let out a long sigh and changed the subject: "Regardless of whether we should kill him or discuss with him, we must first inquire about their whereabouts, you first arrange for someone to find out which city gate they left from!" ”

"I don't have to worry about this matter uncle, I have already sent someone down to inquire!" Huang Shikun shook his head resolutely and said: "In short, you said that you want to kill Boss Wang, I will never agree!" ”

Huang Chong slapped the table angrily: "When is it?" You're still thinking about a businessman?! ”

"He is not just a businessman, he is a benefactor who came to my Huang family's aid at the most critical juncture!" Huang Shikun emphasized.

Huang Chong immediately retorted disdainfully: "What about the benefactor? Is it more important than your father's life?! ”

One sentence suddenly made Huang Shikun unable to refute it anymore, his expression changed a few times, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "If I kill my Huang family's benefactor now, then who will dare to help our Huang family in the future?" ”

Huang Chong was still disdainful: "If you can't ensure that Bai Xiao falls into our hands this time, then your father will be in danger!" ”

Huang Shikun couldn't sit still, his father's life made him dare not be negligent, but the honor of the family and the sense of justice instilled by his father since he was a child made him unable to do such a despicable and shameless thing, he was in a dilemma, he was silent, shook his head vigorously and said: "But I can ask him to come back and discuss with him, and wait until the discussion is fruitless......"

However, before he finished speaking, Huang Chong interrupted: "Discussion? Now that he's gone, will he come back if you invite him? Even if you can invite him back, he said that he would have to think about it for a few days or ten days, can you afford it? Don't forget that the longer it is, the more likely it is to be known by other families, and the greater the danger to your father! Moreover, when the time comes, we will kill again, and that Boss Wang will die here, and when the time comes, we will really offend the forces behind him! ”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, so he simply stood up and pointed outside: "Now, let's send someone to secretly kill him, and then secretly transport the young master of the Bai family back, even if the forces behind him want to know who did it, it will be difficult!" ”

Manager Li, who had been silent, finally couldn't help it, and whispered in Huang Shikun's ear: "Young Master, he showed his strength once last time when he taught that swordsman in our black market, and then our people were very sure that he only had a tenth-level strength at most, and it was not a difficult thing to kill him. ”

Both of them refuted their own opinions, Huang Shikun's sense of justice that had been firmly at the top was finally shaken, it was related to his father's safety, he really didn't dare to have any negligence, after being silent for a long time, he finally compromised, but his tone couldn't help but become a little numb: "Then this matter will be handed over to my uncle, with my uncle's strength, I think, it should be foolproof." ”

However, unexpectedly, Huang Chong actually shook his head, but when he heard Huang Shikun's compromise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was a lot calmer: "I can't go, and I can't send people who are too strong, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be some traces of the Huang family, directly send some dead soldiers of about ten levels, send some more people, he only has the strength of ten levels and will definitely not be able to parry, and the exercises practiced by dead soldiers are different from those of our Huang family, and it is not easy to show any horses." ”

Huang Shikun lost the sense of justice that had always been inherent in his heart, and at this time he no longer had half the energy to argue and think, sighed, and said slowly: "Then listen to my uncle." ”
