Chapter 88

"Boss Lu, what's on your mind?"

At the entrance of the Lingcheng Escort Bureau, Tong Long, the chief escort officer, saw Lu Gui frowning all the time, and immediately asked with concern.

The escort agency received a large order for inter-county escort today, and he, the chief escort, was asked to personally lead the team, so he summoned three experienced escorts from the escort agency today to go to a restaurant to discuss the route.

Lu Gui is an old man from the Lingcheng Escort Bureau. He has served the Escort Bureau loyally for more than 20 years. He is also one of the few experienced escort leaders in the Escort Bureau. He is one of the only seven tenth level warriors in the Escort Bureau. Tong Yun naturally wants to pay attention to him. of.

Before Lu Gui could answer, Zhang Nanhe, another bodyguard who had a close relationship with Lu Gui, answered helpfully: "Brother Lu is worried about the Hou family!"

Tong Long next to him then remembered that Lu Gui had beaten the Hou family a few days ago. He frowned and said to Lu Gui: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. The Hou family's reputation is true, but in the final analysis, it's just... How can we, the Lingcheng Escort Agency, be afraid of a small clan who has been promoted to the upper echelons of society and has been based in the county for many years?"

When Lu Gui heard this, his face looked a little better, but after thinking about it, he still said hesitantly: "With the boss here, I am not afraid of coming to my door, but after all, my subordinates will have to travel frequently in the future, and Zhaoyang County I go there from time to time. Hou Yuxiao doesn't follow any rules and is ruthless. If he really takes action personally, his subordinates are afraid..."

Including Tong Long, when they heard Hou Yuxiao's words that he didn't follow any rules and was ruthless, the image of Hou Yuxiao killing Cheng Yue with the Sacred Heart in the center naturally appeared in his mind, and he suddenly showed an unnatural expression.

The key point was that he was killed in front of Ding Dian. The leader, Tong Yun, was so powerful, could he be more powerful than Ding Dian? For a while, the three of them began to understand a little more about Lu Gui's fear.

"Let's do this. I'll go back and tell my eldest brother that you won't be allowed to go on that road in Zhaoyang County from now on. That way nothing will happen."

Lu Gui immediately bowed to Tong Long with excitement and said gratefully: "This is the best thing. Lu Gui thanks the chief escort!"

"Brother Lu, don't worry. Hou Yuxiao took people back yesterday. As long as he doesn't go to Zhaoyang, no matter how powerful the Hou family is, he can't do anything to you."

After Zhang Nanhe and Tong Long said this, Lu Gui felt much better, his brows slowly relaxed, and he followed the three of them to the restaurant.

At the corner of the street, Gao Cheng hid his aura and waited until the backs of Lu Gui and the four of them could no longer be seen before gradually relaxing. At this time, Gao Wenwen walked over from beside him.

"I found out that Lu Gui's home is more than 300 meters away from the escort agency. When he is not working as an escort, he stays there at night."

Gao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Assassination is a business that focuses on the enemy being exposed and the other being hidden, and taking things by surprise.

If Lu Gui lived in the escort agency, it would be difficult for them to find opportunities to make a move. If Lu Gui lived at home, that would be easy to say.

"Dad, should we wait for a while before taking action?"

"You are afraid that the Lingcheng Security Bureau will suspect the family."

Gao Wenwen nodded and said, "Didn't the head of the family say that he wanted the family to cut off its ties with the Qinglong Society? It's only been a few days since Lu Gui beat the head escort Wang and he was killed so soon. He will definitely doubt the family."

Gao Cheng pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Although this assassination is also to avenge Wang Gong, the more important thing is to publicize the Qinglong Order and leave the Qinglong Order. It doesn't matter whether they suspect it or not.

Even if they are suspicious, as the Qinglong Society's reputation gradually increases, they will not associate it with the family.

What's more, even if they suspect that the family did it, so what? "

After hearing this last sentence, Gao Wenwen showed a look of understanding on her face and nodded.

The death of one person is not a big deal, not to mention the Qinglong Society. The Lingcheng Escort Agency at most suspects that the Hou family paid for the murder, but as Gao Cheng said, even if it is confirmed that the Hou family paid for the murder, they still How can it be.

In the final analysis, the Lingcheng Security Bureau is just a third-rate force, and they are now on an equal footing with the Hou family. The relationship between the two parties is very stiff due to the difference in camp. It is normal for him to buy murderers and kill people. Yang can't trouble the family.

To put it bluntly, if there is a fight, it is not certain who will win and who will lose!

The two discussed the details again. After that, Gao Wenwen led the way and took her father to find Lu Gui's residence. The two found the corner of the yard and sneaked into Lu Gui's home while there was no one around.

At nightfall, Lu Gui returned home smelling of alcohol. His body was shaken, and his gloomy eyebrows suddenly became clear.

After all, he is a tenth-level warrior, so ordinary drinks cannot get him drunk.

Ever since Hou Yuxiao became famous, he hadn't slept well for several days. Tong Long's words today were a reassurance for him. He was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.

The first moment he returned to his room, Lu Gui glanced at the soil next to his bed. He frowned, then his pupils slightly condensed. He slowly took out the sword from his waist, without making a sound, and slowly moved towards the bed board. Walk towards the direction.

He lives alone, and it is impossible for anyone else to enter his room. Although the traces of soil on the edge of the bed are shallow, he has been out for escorts all year round, and his vigilance is far beyond ordinary people, so he can tell it at a glance.

When he was less than three meters away from the bed and confirmed that he could kill him with one strike, Lu Gui's pupils showed a fierce light, Zhou Shen's blood roared, and he suddenly slashed with the long knife in his hand...

The power of the Tenth Level Nine Tigers burst out in an instant, splitting the bed board in an instant, stirring up smoke and dust. At the same time, the feeling of the blade penetrating into the flesh reached his hand. Lu Gui knew that he had succeeded, and his lips suddenly rose. A hint of a sinister smile.

However, when the smoke and dust cleared, it was clear that there was no person under the bed, but a piece of meat as tall as an adult. Lu Gui suddenly shrank, and then the hairs on his back stood up one by one, and he pounced forward.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Gui turned around suddenly, and two extremely bright lights suddenly fell from the beams and caught his pupils. He was shocked to realize that the marks on the bed board were deliberately left for him to see, in order to make him ignore them. rafters.

There were two breaths, one of which was at the tenth level of peak cultivation and not weaker than him, and the other was only at the eighth level. Lu Gui's mind flashed and he immediately made the best choice and fled in the direction of the eighth level warrior. Breakout.

However, it was too fast.

Those two men in black were too fast.

They were already condescending, calculating with intention but without intention. The cold light on the dagger was like two vertically falling meteors, flashing across Lu Gui's pupils.

A blood arrow spurted out from his throat, and the severe pain made Lu Gui's pupils shrink suddenly in fear. As a sense of powerlessness hit his mind, his pupils gradually began to dilate, until he finally collapsed... …

clang

The two men in black looked cold, threw something on Lu Gui, looked at each other, turned and walked out of the room, jumped out of the hospital, and walked towards the Hou family's house in the northeast corner of the county.

The next day, in the lobby of Lingcheng Escort Bureau.

Lu Gui's body lay peacefully in the middle. The first boss, Tong Yun, the second boss, Tong Long, Zhang Nanhe, who went out to drink with Lu Gui yesterday, and seven or eight senior officials from the escort agency, were all sitting around, looking ugly.

"After having a drink with me last night, Mr. Lu went back alone. There was no one else. This morning, when I saw that he hadn't arrived yet, I asked Mr. Zhang to go to his house and call him. Who would have thought that Mr. Zhang would be there? In the past, I only saw Lu Gui's body lying next to the bed, and there was also a sign broken in half, which is the piece in my brother's hand!"

Tong Long's tone was sulky. Lu Gui was a senior member of the Lingcheng Escort Agency and had rich experience in escorting. To die at home without any explanation was a big loss to the Escort Agency.

"Brother, don't think about it. It must have been done by the Hou family. We must settle the account with them. Otherwise, how will the escort agency gain a foothold in the county in the future?"

Tong Yun shook his head and said with a hint of gloom in his eyes: "You can think of it, but others can't think of it. Lu Gui's beating of Wang Gong is not a secret in the county. It would be okay if it was the Hou family who did it. If it wasn't the Hou family, , but others are deliberately instigating it, if we rashly go to trouble the Hou family, wouldn’t we fall into a trap!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

"You guys take a look at this token first."

Tong Yun whispered, and handed the broken token in his hand to Tong Long, who then passed it out. Everyone looked at it for a while.

"The material is seven-color tree heart, is it assassination?"

"Qinglong Order... I don't seem to have heard of this assassination organization. Is it intentional to confuse people?"

"Xingnan Prefecture is engaged in the assassination business, only the Zhu Family in Jinling County, and the Silver Knife Society in Fucheng, who would travel so far to buy Lu Gui to murder..."

…………

The seven-color tree heart is an herb that cannot be used for medicinal purposes and has a certain degree of toxicity. Due to its irreparable characteristics, it is generally used as evidence for assassination organizations.

Therefore, whenever you see something made of seven-colored tree heart in the world, you will naturally think of the assassination organization.

Therefore, as soon as everyone saw this token, they made various speculations.

"Don't be impatient, Tong Long, take someone to investigate in the county first. The Qinglong Order has appeared there. If you can confirm who did it, I will take you to seek justice. It won’t be lost in vain!”

Tong Long stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Tong Long accepts the order!"

Everyone's faces looked better now, and they all went back to wait for the news.

…………

Zhengdong Official Road, Tongling County.

Hou's group of more than 30 people was less than ten miles away from Zhaoyang County. The closer they got to home, the speed of everyone's journey was obviously a little faster.

This trip lasted almost 20 days in total, not too long nor too short, so homesickness shouldn't be a problem.

On the carriage, Hou Yuling felt that the speed was accelerating. She opened the curtain and glanced at the faces of the more than 30 people outside. They all looked excited. She gently lowered the curtain, looked back at Hou Yuxiao in front of her, and immediately covered her mouth and smiled. .

"The news about Hou's fame in the county must have spread. They can't wait to go back to Zhaoyang to show off!"

Bai Yujie, who was sitting next to her, also chuckled, and said, "When I came here 20 days ago, the Zhaoyang Hou family was still unknown, but now they are well-known throughout the county. After all, they are all witnesses, so it's normal to be a little excited. .”

Hou Yuxiao raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Why don't the ancients say that riches and honor do not return to their hometowns, like brocade clothes walking at night!"

Just as he was about to continue saying something, Hou Yuxiao's face suddenly froze, and then a hint of joy appeared in his pupils. He quickly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

He turned his mind, placed it on the sacred lotus between his eyebrows, opened the golden page of merit, and looked at the values ​​of his merits and karma.

Merit: 3268
Karma: 639
…………

Seeing these two numbers, Hou Yuxiao's pupils shrank. His karma was not bad and there was no big fluctuation. How could his merit value increase so much?
He promoted the Thirteen Forms of the Black Dragon to the second-rate martial arts Qingtian Stick Technique, which cost him a thousand merits, plus some small returning elixirs. The remaining 1000 merits had all gone to the bottom. How could this suddenly happen? An increase of more than 3000...

"It must be Lao Wu. What did Lao Wu do..."

With this thought flashing through his mind, Hou Yuxiao wanted to quickly find Lao Wu to ask about the situation, and he became anxious to go home.

Fortunately, the distance was not far away, but within half an hour, Zhaoyang City appeared in everyone's sight.
