Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 241 Who went wrong?

In terms of status, Shopkeeper Niu is the lowest among the four.However, since he led his brother at the helm to a big victory, his status in Mingjiao has improved a lot, and he can participate in some decision-making.

Protector Zhai Shouting's temper was rather short-tempered, so he asked Li Jiumo directly: "Brother Li, what do you think of the peace talks between us and the White Camel Villa?
Li Jiumo took a sip of his wine and said casually: "The matter has been settled. What? Do you have an idea?"

Zhai Shouting said: "We have lost so many brothers, so let it be for nothing."

Li Jiumo said: "So what can we do if we don't make peace? Let's fight White Camel Mountain, and then we will lose both. If this is the case, why do we go to the Western Regions? Isn't it just to keep the torch alive?"

Gu Quanye's face was ugly, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by shopkeeper Niu with his eyes.

This Hu Quanye is the new envoy of the Ruijin Banner, and is a relative of the previous envoy.The previous envoy in charge of the banner died in the hands of Ouyang Zheng, and many people in Ruijin Banner were determined to take revenge, so they elected Hu Quanye as the envoy in charge of the banner.

Shopkeeper Niu was afraid that he would offend Li Hufa because he was young and aggressive, so he stopped Hu Quanye from speaking.

Li Jiumo ignored other people's small movements and continued to taste wine slowly.He said to himself: "Mr. Liao has already rushed to the Western Regions. If something happens, the charter will not be lost."

Afterwards, Li Jiumo wanted to change the topic several times, but no matter what, the topic would always be brought back by the other three.

Shopkeeper Niu is a neutral faction, Hu Quanye is bent on revenge, and the two guardians cannot reach a unified opinion.This party hastily ended.

"Hey, if I lower my head today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise my head again in the future." Shopkeeper Niu sent the other three away, lamenting alone.

With the passage of time, the joy that he had won against Ouyang Cheng gradually calmed down, and he began to reflect on various things that day.After thinking about it, he realized that in the battle at Wanyanlu's mansion, his side was very likely to be completely annihilated.Being able to kill someone like Ouyang Cheng was probably due to luck.

Not long after he got home, someone came to deliver a letter to him.Shopkeeper Niu is the rudder master of the sub-rudder, and he has a house outside the city to settle down.

Shopkeeper Niu read the letter, hid it in his sleeve, and left the courtyard.Since there was Mingjiao's secret mark on the letter, he didn't think much, and went straight to the agreed place - Liji Teahouse.

It was quiet in the teahouse, only the shopkeeper, Lao Li, was sent home by him for the Chinese New Year.

"Treasurer Li?"

Shopkeeper Li looked back and hurriedly greeted: "Oh, isn't this Shopkeeper Niu, why are you so busy today!"

Shopkeeper Niu felt displeased when he found out that the person who invited him did not come.I made an appointment with myself, but let me wait by myself, which brother of Mingjiao is this?

Shopkeeper Li personally brought hot tea, chatted with him, and continued to be busy with the work in hand.

A bowl of hot tea was tasteless, but no one came.Shopkeeper Niu pinched the letter in his sleeve and became suspicious.The brother in the church asked me to meet him, but he didn't show up. Did something happen on the way?A feeling of uneasiness emerged from his heart.

Shopkeeper Li was still chatting with him.There is a sentence in it that makes shopkeeper Niu suddenly realize that something is wrong.

He hastily interrupted Shopkeeper Li's words.

"Treasurer Li, what did you say just now?"

Shopkeeper Li was taken aback for a moment, then realized after a while: "Oh, I said Xiao Wuzi has gone home."

Shopkeeper Niu said hurriedly, "No, it's the last sentence."

"Last sentence?" Shopkeeper Li put down his work in doubt, turned his head and said, "The last sentence is a message from his family."

This sentence made shopkeeper Niu feel like he was struck by lightning.He instantly remembered what was wrong.The brothers in Mingjiao asked me to meet at a place not far from my house, why did I write a letter?Isn't it all right to go to the door?

The reason why I judged that the letter was written by Mingjiao's brothers was because there were secret notes from Mingjiao on the letter.If something goes wrong --- Shopkeeper Niu can't sit still for an instant.He thought of the worst possibility.Immediately took out a little silver, and didn't care how much was put on the table.

"Shopkeeper Li, I won't sit down, I'll leave the money here for you." After speaking, he walked out of the teahouse in three steps.

Shopkeeper Li said: "Oh, our relationship, why are you so polite, hey——" Shopkeeper Li was talking, and when he looked back, Shopkeeper Niu had already run out. "Hey, why are you in such a hurry?" Shopkeeper Li walked over to take a look, and greeted loudly: "Treasurer Niu, you gave too much."

Shopkeeper Niu had already run away.

He hurried home, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, if it wasn't for the letter written by someone from Mingjiao, how would he know Mingjiao's secret message?If it is a letter written by a person of Mingjiao.Why did he do this?Possibilities popped out of his mind one by one, some of which he didn't dare to think deeply about.

The road he was accustomed to walking on weekdays became so long in his eyes at this time.Shopkeeper Niu ran to the front, the front of the house was still the same as when he came out, even the few dry bricks in the cracks in front of the door did not change.

Seeing that the appearance of the courtyard gate has not changed, it is still the same familiar one, which gives him a kind of comfort.

Shopkeeper Niu felt relieved instantly, and the uneasiness just now was slowly calmed down.

Perhaps, I thought too much just now.Perhaps, this is the rivers and lakes, the older you are, the less courageous you are.

Shopkeeper Niu let out a breath, slowed down his pace, and while laughing at himself, opened the door at the same time.

He started out into the yard.Immediately felt wrong, where did Xiao Huang go?In the past, as long as he came back by himself, the yellow dog would rush over.Did it run out to play today?

Why is it so quiet in the yard?The maid, and Liu Po, are not such quiet people on weekdays.

Shopkeeper Niu pushed the door open and entered the main room. Just as his feet stepped over the threshold, he stood there blankly.

Shopkeeper Niu Xuxian's wife actually fell asleep lying on the Eight Immortals table.

He shook his head and walked over, trying to wake his wife up.

Shopkeeper Niu put his hand on his wife's shoulder, and was about to say "wake up", but the words stuck in his mouth and he didn't utter them.

He couldn't believe it, and tremblingly checked his wife's breath.

People are already chilled.

Shopkeeper Niu took a step back as if struck by lightning, and sat down on the ground with a plop.

He murmured hoarsely: "This is——what's going on here?" He just went out for a while.Why is this person gone?What disease?
Shopkeeper Niu got up, walked over in two steps, helped his wife up, and began to examine carefully.

He knew it was definitely not a disease, and the madam's expression was wrong.His rich experience in Jianghu helped him. After checking, he found two wounds behind the lady's right ear. The wounds seemed to be bitten by something.
