A hundred flavors of life

As soon as the gunfire rang out, the banquet suddenly became chaotic. Hua Twelve immediately protected the little girl from Xiangyun behind him, and Er Erhong came over protecting Bai Niu:
"Brother, the gunfire seems to be coming from upstairs!"

Xiangyun was timid. When he saw many people running outside, he quickly said: "Brother Douzi, let's run too!"

Hua Twelve said calmly: "Don't worry, let's see what the situation is before we talk!"

After meeting Cao Yun, he had some suspicions in his mind. He probably couldn't leave now if he wanted to.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Marshal Cao's voice shouting from upstairs: "Seal the mansion. No one can be let out without my order!"

Hua Twelve could tell that it was someone on the second floor who opened the window and shouted to the guards outside.

The next moment, the guards outside the mansion immediately took action and surrounded the mansion in full force. Those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave were all invited back.

Not long after, Marshal Cao and Cao Yun hurried downstairs. The former had an anxious look on his face, while the latter had a complicated look on his face, his eyes scanning back and forth among the crowd.

Chief He had not left at this time and walked up with a few foreigners: "Old Cao, what happened? Why were there gunshots?"

Actually, Chief He wants to ask you more about what you want to do by detaining us.

He was too embarrassed to ask, but several foreign devils were not used to their faults, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction angrily. They all wanted to leave just now, but were 'invited' back by the soldiers outside. It was strange to be happy.

Marshal Cao looked serious: "Someone sneaked in during the dinner, broke open my safe on the second floor, and took away a confidential document. That document related to the defense deployment in Beijing and Tianjin, as well as the civil government. Some confidential information must not be leaked!"

When Chief He heard this, he immediately became anxious: "How could this happen? It's so audacious!"

Marshal Cao waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone. I shot that man. I estimate that he is still within the scope of my mansion. Please wait here for a moment while I send people to conduct a search. I believe that he will be found soon." After searching out that person, it won't be too late for everyone to leave, so as not to panic and the person will jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt the distinguished guest, which is not a good thing!"

There was nothing wrong with what he said. The foreigners all nodded after discussing it. Marshal Cao said what he just said to the guests present again, asking for your forgiveness.

Seeing the armed guards inside and outside, all the guests present expressed their understanding and willingness to cooperate.

Next, the guards came in and went back and forth, searching the mansion more than a dozen times, but no trace of the infiltrator was found. At this time, Marshal Cao was sweating on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was beginning to feel unsure.

"Have you looked for it in the garden?"

A young adjutant ran over and saluted: "Report to the commander, we haven't found him yet, but we are surrounded on all sides. The man will definitely not be able to escape!"

"Then hurry up and find it!"

"Yes!"

After the adjutant saluted, he turned around and strode out with great momentum.

Hua Twelve saw that the adjutant's face was familiar, so he took another look, and his eyes suddenly moved. He saw that the adjutant was walking slowly, bending his knees, his arms hanging down, and the veins in his neck rising and falling with his steps. He was looking very energetic.

He said to Er Erhong: "Look at that man!"

Er Erhong followed his gaze and saw what he was doing: "This man has nimble steps and looks like an ape. He must have mastered the essence of the inner family. Judging from his footsteps, he is Baguazhang!"

Hua Twelve nodded: "Yes, it's the Baguazhang method, but I don't know which branch it is!"

The two chatted quietly, but the adjutant seemed to hear them. When he went out, he turned around and saw the two of them. He nodded in this direction as a greeting. He obviously knew the two of them. No wait. The two responded and turned around and walked out of the door.

Then there were shouts of relief from outside, and the guards lit torches and began a blanket search. Ten minutes later, the adjutant came in and reported the situation in a low voice to Marshal Cao's ear.

At this time, they were several meters apart, and the other party was whispering again, but Hua Twelve moved his ears and still heard everything the other party said.

"Commander, a few drops of blood were found outside. The person must have jumped from your bedroom window. The blood stains extended all the way to the back garden. It seems that they must have jumped over the wall and ran away. Because the blood stains were not obvious, the brothers just discovered it. !”

Marshal Cao's face changed several times: "Trash, send the inspection team out immediately. The man was injured and shouldn't be far away. Capture him. In addition, the main roads out of the city will be blocked. People entering and leaving the city tomorrow morning will be strictly inspected."

While he was giving instructions, Chief He and a few foreigners walked over and asked, "Old Cao, how are things going?"

When Marshal Cao heard this, a smile appeared on his slightly ferocious face:

"The person has been caught. Thank you for your cooperation, I didn't let this little kid succeed!"

Chief He smiled: "That's good, now."

Marshal Cao said quickly: "Everyone can leave. I shocked everyone tonight. Cao will definitely host another banquet to apologize to everyone someday!"

Everyone said goodbye and left one after another.

Hua Twelve and his party also took the opportunity to say goodbye, and Marshal Cao sent them off personally:
"Boss Cheng was shocked today because Mr. Cao didn't entertain him well. Mr. Cao will invite Boss Cheng to dinner in a few days, so he must be honored when the time comes!"

Everyone knew they were polite words, so Hua Twelve just smiled and mumbled.

When leaving, Marshal Cao curiously looked at a large cardboard box held by Hua Twelve and asked:

"Boss Cheng, what are you carrying in your hand?"

"I don't see anyone eating ten pounds of cream cake, so I asked your pastry chef to pack it for me!"

After Hua Twelve finished speaking, he said to Er Yuehong and Bai Niu: "I see there are a few pieces left over there, don't you take some back?"

Er Erhong and Bai Niu blushed and shook their heads.

Marshal Cao, on the other hand, has a black head. He watched you eat just now, and now he has taken away ten kilograms. I’m afraid it’s not that no one eats it, but that you’ve wrapped it up. He laughed dryly and said:
"As long as Boss Cheng likes it!"

After getting in the car, he put the cake away and the two cars drove out of Cao's mansion one after the other.

Er Erhong's car turned around to take Bai Niu home, while Hua Twelve's car went straight to the Prince's Mansion in Nanluoguxiang.

On the way, Hua Twelve asked Wang Shuangquan: "Shuangquan, were you always in the car when we attended the dinner?"

Wang Shuangquan smiled and said: "No, we drivers were all invited to have a separate table. Not to mention that this handsome man named Cao enjoys it better than me. The food is really good!"

Hua Twelve smiled and said nothing. When the car approached Nanluogu Lane, he suddenly shouted:
"parking!"

Wang Shuangquan immediately applied the brakes to stop the car, turned to look at Hua Twelve: "Boss Cheng, what's the matter?"

Hua Twelve asked Xiangyun to wait in the car before getting out. He took Wang Shuangquan to the trunk of the car and knocked on the trunk:
"Should you come out on your own, or should I invite you to come out!"

Wang Shuangquan immediately tensed up and took out the cannon box, taking precautions.

After waiting for a while and no one responded, Hua Twelve said again:
"Come out, there is no one around at night. If you borrow a boat to cross the river, you have to speak clearly to me in my boat!" After waiting for a few seconds, no one answered.

Wang Shuangquan couldn't hold his breath and stepped forward directly, holding the gun in his right hand and opening the trunk with his left hand.

As soon as the trunk was opened, a hand stretched out from inside like lightning and instantly grabbed Wang Shuangquan's right hand holding the gun. He took the gun away with one hand and put the muzzle of the gun directly on Wang Shuangquan's temple: "Don't move. If he touches me, I'll kill him!"

Hua Twelve was not anxious at all. He recognized this face as he had seen it in the Marshal's Mansion. At that time, he thought it looked familiar. Then he saw that this was not Brother Haonan, or Brother Jiaqian.

He saw cold sweat on Brother Haonan's forehead, and when he glanced at him, he saw a gunshot wound on his left shoulder.

He raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Don't be impulsive. What do you want to do?"

Brother Haonan said in a deep voice: "Use your car to take me out of the city!"

Hua Twelve said angrily: "The city gates are closed and there is no such thing as a city. Are you overthinking it?"

While he was speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand to support his wrist and lifted it up, hitting Brother Haonan's hand tendon. The latter's fingers softened, and the box cannon flew away from his hand.

Hua Twelve and Brother Haonan grabbed it at the same time.

Brother Haonan grabbed the box cannon first, with a successful smile on his face. The next moment, the smile froze on his face, because Hua Twelve's hand had already clasped his neck.

Brother Haonan is also a practitioner. He can feel the tightening and loosening of Hua's twelve and five fingers, which seems to contain extremely terrifying strength. He knows that the opponent is holding the strength in his mouth, and as long as the strength is released, the bones and tendons will be broken. fold.

Brother Haonan immediately gave a wry smile: "There are rumors that Boss Cheng is a hidden master. I didn't believe it at first, but now I finally believe it!"

After speaking, he wisely turned the cannon box upside down and returned it to Wang Shuangquan, who took it bitterly.

Hua Twelve didn't have time to talk to him about the ozone layer, so he directly asked the question he was concerned about:

"Tell me, who did you work for, and what did you steal from the Marshal's mansion!"

When he saw Cao Yun in Cao's mansion, he thought it should be the plot of "Dao Ma Dan", but in that movie, Marshal Cao was a Beiyang warlord, and Cao Yun and the man in front of him were intelligence agents working for the people's government. Steal evidence of collusion between Marshal Cao and foreigners.

But now Hua Twelve is a little confused, because Marshal Cao is now also an officer of the people's government. This has caused deviations and created new problems. Since Marshal Cao is on the side of the people's government, then Cao Yun and Brother Haonan in front of him Who do you work for?

Brother Haonan clenched his teeth, looking like he would kill him without saying a word.

Hua Twelve smiled softly: "Don't tell me, okay, I won't kill you, I will give you to Marshal Cao, I think he will have a way to make you talk!"

Brother Haonan immediately lost his composure: "No, if you do this, it will be tantamount to betraying the Guo family!"

Hua Twelve laughed and said rationally: "Marshuai Cao is a high-ranking official in the government. If you go to his house to steal things, who do you think I should believe?"

Brother Haonan looked a little struggling, but finally relaxed and said as if he wanted to take a gamble:
"Okay, I said, I am an intelligence officer from the people's government. We received news that Marshal Cao and Xiaori cooperated to betray important intelligence. I have found important evidence that he betrayed the intelligence. As long as you send me out of the city, I can think of it. Find a way to pass on the information!"

Hua Twelve looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Don't even think about leaving the city. Didn't I tell you that the city gate has been closed!"

Brother Haonan said excitedly: "I know your relationship with the Northeast Commander. As long as you want to go out of town, no one will dare to stop you. You will definitely be able to do it!"

Hua Twelve sneered: "But why should I help you? Even if what you said is true, if I send you out of the city at this time, Marshal Cao will definitely realize what is going on. By then, my family will be in a difficult situation In the midst of danger, why do you think I chose to help you regardless of the safety of my family?"

"This"

Brother Haonan was speechless.

Hua Twelve took one look at his wound and directly made a decision for him:

"You also need to treat your wound and take out the bullet, otherwise your arm will become useless if you drag it for too long. How about you come with me first? When I am sure that what you said is true, I will find a way to send you out!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to say more, he pinched the hand around Brother Haonan's neck, rubbed his thumb, and knocked him unconscious, and then closed the trunk again.

After reboarding the car, Hua Twelve comforted the worried Xiangyun and ordered Wang Shuangquan:

"What happened tonight is rotten in your stomach. Your commander-in-chief is also a member of the people's government now. No one should say anything until this matter is clarified!"

Wang Shuangquan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Boss Cheng, I understand!"

The car stopped at the gate of the County Prince's Mansion. After calling the door, Hua Twelve asked the concierge to rest, then opened the trunk and carried the unconscious brother Haonan into the yard with one hand. Xiangyun followed behind with the cake.

Wang Shuangquan began to deal with the trunk and the blood stains scattered on the ground.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Gong Er came up to him. Hua Twelve ordered: "Arrange a room, I want to perform an operation on him!"

When Gong Er saw that her husband had brought back an injury number, he didn't ask any further questions. He found a remote room across the courtyard, and he and Xiang Yun took care of it themselves.

Hua Twelve put the person on the bed, asked Gong Er to hold the lamp, asked Xiangyun to boil water, and then took out the surgical instruments and medicines from the storage space.

Brother Haonan's injuries can be described as serious or not serious. The bullet entered and got stuck near the nerves and heart veins of his arm. If he was not careful when removing the bullet, he would be disabled at the least.

After sterilizing and injecting anesthesia, Hua Twelve performed the surgery himself. Now that he was successful in practicing martial arts, the surgery was more efficient than before. He took out the warhead in half a minute, then stopped the bleeding and sutured it.

He took out a healing elixir and fed it to him, then sealed his acupuncture points and took Gong Er and Xiang Yun back to rest. At the same time, he told the latter two that the affairs of this person in the house should not be spread. In addition, this person across the hospital, From today onwards, no servants can be allowed in.

When I woke up the next day, there was news outside that martial law had begun in Sijiu City. People entering and leaving the city had to register their identities and undergo strict inspections. The inspection team in the city was still looking for something, saying they were catching spies.

Hua Twelve looked like he was fine and went out to bask in the sun in the yard after eating. But he knew in his heart that Brother Haonan would have to wake up at least at night. It would not be too late to ask if he had anything to say then.

In the afternoon, someone sent a letter from Jinmen, and the recipient was actually Yanhong, the bean girl.

After reading the letter, Bean Girl began to drop golden beans.

Hua Twelve was so curious that he walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? The person who wrote the letter can't be Daddy Douzi!"

Yanhong wiped her tears, but with a smile on her face: "Fuck you, I'm not even older than my mother, and I don't even know who your father is. I've found your aunt, and this letter is from your aunt." My aunt sent it from Jinmen!"

"Auntie? Why haven't I heard you say that?"

Beammother said in retrospect:
"I was still young at that time, and I didn't remember much. I only knew that there was war and famine outside, and people at home were starving to death. Your grandfather sold your aunt to an old man, and he got the money to keep the family alive. I haven’t contacted him for so many years. He said he went to Jinmen. I asked someone to inquire a while ago, but I didn’t expect to find him."
