Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 80

It's late at night, but Zhu Jiaduan hasn't slept yet.

When he was away from home, he was used to lighting a lamp in his room after dark. When the light went out naturally, he would take a nap for a while, and then he would get up again when the cock crowed.

For a master of his level, it is okay to occasionally use exercise and breath adjustment to make up for some sleep time, of course, only occasionally... If you don't sleep all the time, no matter what kind of master you are, you will die suddenly.

And tonight, he obviously couldn't sleep for a moment.

Because the lights in his room hadn't been turned off yet, there were changes around his room...

All of that happened very quickly, shouts, muffled hums, the movement of fists and palms colliding, and swords being unsheathed...all sounded from all directions at almost the same moment, and ended at almost the same moment.

Back and forth, a total of less than ten seconds.

Then, there was a knock on Zhu Jiaduan's door.

thump-thump-

There were only two sounds, but in this silent night, it was very ear-piercing.

Zhu Jiaduan didn't respond to the knock on the door, he didn't even breathe loudly.

At this moment, he had suppressed his aura, held the hilt of his sword, and stood in the middle of the room, nervously guarding against possible surprise attacks from any direction.

"Director Zhu, don't be nervous..." Seeing that he didn't respond, the people outside the door took the initiative to say, "Your disciples just passed out temporarily, and no one died...at least not yet."

Naturally, Zhu Jiaduan would not be so naive as to believe such words immediately, but since the other party said so, he couldn't keep pretending to be dumb: "Who are you?" After asking these three words, he seemed to feel that the question was not appropriate, So he added, "Who are you...?"

"We... are just running errands..." The person outside the door replied, "As ordered by the master, I would like to invite Director Zhu to come to Qiliu Youlan for a talk."

"Then who is your master?" Zhu Jiaduan asked again.

"It's...it's inconvenient for us subordinates to talk about it." The human outside the door said, "You can ask him face to face."

"Hmph..." Zhu Jiaduan snorted coldly, "You masters are so arrogant." He paused, "Let me go with you without even declaring your name... Isn't that a little too small?" Have you seen Zhu?"

The brother outside the door really wanted to reply him with "yes, but that's not the point" at this moment, but he held back after all.

A few seconds later, the person outside the door said again: "The master knows that Director Zhu is busy with his affairs, so he ordered us... While inviting you to come, first 'take care' of the brothers of the Guangxing Security Bureau for you, so as not to miss you. Worry about the future; I hope Director Zhu can see the master's 'consideration' for you, give me face, and come with us."

What he said is the point.

The words sound very polite, but the actual content is intimidation, and all the conditions have been laid out for you - if you don't want to face, then what will happen to your bodyguards and apprentices, you have to weigh it yourself... Take a step back In other words, even if you, Director Zhu, don't care about the life and death of those subordinates, are you sure you can break through our encirclement?

Although Zhu Jiaduan has a bad temper and quick temper, he is by no means the type who would risk his life for a moment of face; to put it more bluntly, like most people in the world, he bullies the weak and fears the hard.

When he was in the upper hand, he would stand there with his chest up and his belly up, shouting and shouting, just reasoning with people, as if he had done something amazing; but when he was in a disadvantage, his back was not so hard , the tone is not so loud anymore... If you have a step, you will go down, if you want face, you will give it, it is almost enough.

At this moment, Zhu Jiaduan thought for a while according to the situation, then curled his lips, and replied: "Since that's the case, then Zhu can only go with you for a while..."

…………

Two quarters later, the seven willows are quiet.

In the same room, Zhu Jiaduan had been "invited" to the concubine.

Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were also present. Of course, they were very relaxed at this time, just sitting on the sidelines and watching the show.

"You can call me 'Shu Ye'." As soon as the other party sat down, Shu Ye introduced himself.

"Looking at your face, Zhu is a little older than you. It's inappropriate to call you 'Grandfather', right?" Zhu Jiaduan was still putting on airs and didn't let go of it completely.

"Is it suitable..." Shu Ye didn't take the other party seriously at all, "...you have to call too."

"Huh?" Zhu Jiaduan glared at Shu Ye, "Your Excellency, this is a bit crazy, isn't it?"

"Is this crazy?" The concubine asked back, and laughed again, "Heh...then if I tell you, if you really follow the rules, you have to kneel down and talk to me, what should you do?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Jiaduan's expression changed.

As the so-called monarch and ministers, father and son, the son kneels to the father, the people kneels to the officials, and the ministers kneels to the emperor... This is the etiquette.

The concubine is definitely not Zhu Jiaduan's father, so the implication of his words is that he is either an official in the court or a relative of the emperor.

"You..." Zhu Jiaduan spoke hesitantly, as if he wanted to ask something.

"You still don't ask." But the concubine grabbed his talk and didn't let him ask.

"Okay..." Zhu Jiaduan nodded slightly, and took another step back, "Dare to ask my uncle... why did you invite Zhu to come today?"

The concubine glanced at Sun and Huang, and continued, "The two of them are here, what do you think I am here for?"

Zhu Jiaduan also looked at Shuangxie, and said again: "Could it be that... the concubine wants to talk to me about the death of the little disciple Zheng Mukai?"

"Exactly." The uncle replied.

"Okay." Zhu Jiaduan leaned back in the chair, "Zhu is all ears."

The concubine didn't make any detours, and just said: "It's easy to say, three days ago... that Zheng Mukai used lightness kung fu to jump over the wall and window, and slipped into my Qiliu Youlan, intending to use his strength against our top card here. So I asked some of my men to kill him."

"What?" Zhu Jiaduan became a little excited when he heard this, "It's you?" But when he thought about it, he didn't believe it, "Is this true?"

"Do I have to lie to you?" said the concubine.

Zhu Jiaduan's mind is not fast, he can't think clearly about this question for a while: "Then...why was my disciple's body found in the back alley of the Chengdong Inn? And my two fellow travelers... "

"Isn't that obvious?" The concubine interrupted him in a lazy tone, "I don't want to be tracked down because of such trivial matters, so I let people throw Zheng Mukai's body into the daytime to have a festival with him Huang Shaoxia and the others lived near the inn, and by the way, covered up the cause of death, thinking that they would have to deal with the lawsuit; and because they were worried that the two travelers would know that Zheng Mukai had come to my Qiliu Youlan before his death. They came, so I just kept doing it...someone went to silence them as well."

When Zhu Jiaduan heard it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

In fact, there really was not, because what the concubine said now were all Shui Sheng's real thoughts at that moment, but now he took the blame.

"Then why do you admit it now?" Zhu Jiaduan asked after thinking for a moment.

"Because they've already come to investigate." Shu Ye said, pointing at Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai again, "I don't want to be annoyed...I'm already annoyed, I can't kill them both, right? Of course...it's okay to kill them, but after killing them, it proves that they are not the murderers, then you must continue to investigate. The door was wiped out?" He paused, shrugged, and then said, "In the final analysis... this matter was originally started by your apprentice Zheng Mu, but now that the matter has come to an end, I might as well ask you to come and clarify the matter. Got it."

The more casually he said something like "Kill your Escort", the more believable he was.

But Zhu Jiaduan is not so easy to accept all the orders, he is still questioning some details: "That's not right..." His eyes widened, and he said aggressively, "You said that these were all done by your subordinates. Could it be that any of your subordinates Know the Five Thunder Piercing Fist?"

"Ha!" The concubine laughed, and after laughing, he raised his voice and shouted to the outside of the house, "The waiter at the door, come in."

As soon as the words fell, Shui Sheng pushed the door open and came in.

Obviously, long before the concubine sent someone to "invite" Zhu Jiaduan, he had already arranged for Shuisheng to wait outside this room.

At this moment, he deliberately did not report Shuisheng's name, but used the words "servant at the door". Firstly, he didn't want Zhu Jiaduan to know what Shuisheng's name was, and secondly... he wanted the other party to feel that he just called him a random name. The turtle slave who happened to be waiting at the door.

"Master, you order." Shui Sheng walked in with his head down, and replied in a humble tone.

The concubine didn't even look at him, and said directly: "Mr. Zhu wants to see the 'Five Thunder Piercing Heart Fist'. You can fight him with three successes."

"Yes." Shui Sheng got the order, without saying a word, he started to punch Zhu Jiaduan with his fist.

Because Zhu Jiaduan heard what the concubine said, he was not unprepared, he sat on the chair secretly using his inner strength, and raised his palm to greet him.

bang——

In the next second, fists and palms clashed, and the air in the room seemed to be stagnant.

After Shui Sheng punched this punch, he withdrew his momentum and stepped back to stand beside Shu Ye.

Zhu Jiaduan sat there without moving, but a strand of cold sweat had already come down from his temples.

It was only now that Zhu Jiaduan took a serious look at the "turtle slave" in front of him, but no matter what he saw, Shuisheng was just the most common brothel waiter, the kind who was not very clever from his appearance to the expression between his brows.

However, the fist strength and skill of that punch just now... are real.

Zhu Jiaduan didn't know if the opponent only used [-]% of his strength, anyway, he used more than [-]% of his own strength, and this was enough to dissolve the opponent's fist force when his palm was already numb, otherwise his arm The meridians may be damaged.

"Okay, you go out." Before Zhu Jiaduan could recover, the concubine waved his hand and sent Shuisheng away in a very casual tone.

Shui Sheng made a promise, then left the house, and closed the door behind him.

After he went out, the concubine looked at Zhu Jiaduan again with complacent eyes, and asked, "Director Zhu, do you have any other questions?"

Zhu Jia said thoughtfully: "This fellow is demonstrating against me... Just now at the inn, his subordinates subdued all my disciples in the blink of an eye, and now he just calls any turtle slave who runs the hall to come in, and he will make my disciples come in." This Five Thunder Piercing Fist...plus the ritual he just said...how much power is behind this person?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiaduan has actually lost his mind.

Because he felt strongly that he might be sitting in front of a person he could not afford to offend; as long as the other party said a word, let alone his life... His entire bodyguard agency, including the family members of the bodyguards, was afraid It's all doomed.

"No more..." Zhu Jiaduan had no choice but to give such an answer.

"En." The concubine pondered, and continued, "Well, since the matter has been clarified, I will now propose a way to settle the matter." He paused, and then said, "Although what happened this time, Basically, it was Zheng's bodyguard who was to blame, but my handling...was indeed inappropriate; therefore, tomorrow, I will prepare a "small gift" and send it to the inn where Bureau Chief Zhu is staying, as a gift to Zheng's bodyguard and If Director Zhu thinks the settlement fee of the two bodyguards is too little, you can come and talk to me again... From now on, Director Zhu will be my 'friend', if there is any difficult matter, you Anyone can come to me..."

When he said this, he fixed his eyes on Zhu Jiaduan: "This method... I wonder if Director Zhu is satisfied?"

"Satisfied...satisfied..." Zhu Jiaduan had already succumbed to the concubine's lustful power, and now that he was paying back his face, he took advantage of it, not daring to refuse it.

"Okay." The concubine nodded, "Then, that's what we're talking about today, Director Zhu... Please go back, I have other things to discuss with Sun Shaoxia and Huang Shaoxia, so I won't send it off."

Hearing the words, Zhu Jiaduan raised his eyes to look at Sun and Huang, his eyes were a little complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or guilt—from Zhu Jiaduan's perspective, it seemed that he had dragged these two young people down. Water, let them have a relationship with people like Shu Ye, but Lao Zhu is too busy to take care of himself now, and he has no time to take care of them.

"Okay...Okay, Zhu will leave, everyone stay here." After Zhu Jiaduan said that, he walked out, which is called a stride like flying.

What Excalibur?In front of the real "power", he is a small leader; to be honest, if Lei Buwei had not retired for many years and was far away from the world, he and Lei Buji would not have dared to be so aggressive before.

When the footsteps of this guy went away, the uncle invited Sun and Huang back to the table.

He personally poured two glasses of wine for the two of them, and said leisurely: "My matter...is it okay?"

"Sure!" Sun Yixie raised his glass in response.

"Exquisite!" Huang Donglai also raised his glass and said.

"Then about the 'Notes'...do you have any difficulties?" The concubine confirmed again and again.

"No!" Sun Yixie said.

"It's all right!" Huang Donglai also patted his chest and promised.

"Okay!" The concubine raised his voice again, "I respect you both!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai drank the cup with him.

So, is it really okay for Gu Qiying to hand over Gu Qiying's notes to someone like the concubine?

Of course there are problems, so Sun Huang did not intend to give it from the beginning.

The note was originally a "false condition". They used this condition to ask the concubine to do what they wanted to do first, and then... there would be no further, because the concubine would have to die before dawn tomorrow.

After staying in the same room with Huang Donglai for so long, and eating and drinking from time to time, you don't believe me when I say that the concubine was not poisoned.

And once the concubine dies, there is no need to give the notes. At that time, it will be easy to save Chuxue and Shuisheng, and even take the whole Qiliuyoulan away.

Of course, as the saying goes, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.

This concubine is not so easy to calculate...
