20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 143
Under the vast darkness, the wake ceremony of the fourth child, Jin Xiaoyi, was still going on.

There was another movement at the secret house in the east of the city.

In the yard, two big yellow dogs were devouring their food, each chewing on a huge stick bone, squinting their eyes with a look of enjoyment.

While eating, the two dogs suddenly started to shake a little. After a while, they let out a low growl of "Woo" from their throats, and then fell to the ground and fell asleep.

After a while, the sound of clothes swinging from the top of the west wall was heard.

"Ah! Young Madam, I really made you guess. It seems that there is indeed someone. Didn't you say that no one knows about our place?"

The room was completely dark, and Xiaohua was crouching on the kang, hiding behind Hu Xiaoyan, looking horrified.

"Shh!" Hu Xiaoyan covered Xiaohua's mouth and scolded softly, "Don't say anything!"

Immediately afterwards, she pulled Xiaohua down on the kang, pretending to be asleep, and at the same time took out a pistol from her arms, holding it tightly in her palm, holding her breath and concentrating.

The footsteps outside the door were very light. If you weren't highly nervous, it would be difficult to detect them even when you were awake.

The visitor seemed unusually alert and remained silent until after a pack of cigarettes, his figure appeared vaguely at the window and he glanced into the room like a ghost.

Xiaohua was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly, curled up into a ball, and grabbed Hu Xiaoyan's clothes tightly. Because she was so scared, her fingers were as cold as ice skates, and she could feel the chill through her clothes.

Although Hu Xiaoyan was nervous, she was not afraid. She squinted her eyes and pointed the muzzle of the gun out the window, waiting for an opportunity.

She is not a prophet, but simply cautious.

Xiaodao went to arrange the funeral for his fourth uncle in the afternoon. He had not returned home at this hour, which would not be uncommon under normal circumstances.

Jiang's house was attacked last night. According to rumors, all Chen Wantang's remnants have been taken into custody by Zhou Yunfu, and the Bai family has not yet found out about their secret house.So everything seems safe.

But I was afraid of the unexpected in everything, and now it has really come true!
In fact, there was always a tension in Hu Xiaoyan's head, but because she didn't want to become a burden, she never showed a worried look, let alone persuaded Xiaodao to stay with her.

If someone really had malicious intentions, she wouldn't be afraid to fight to the death.

However, fortunately, the figure only lingered in front of the window for a while, seemingly just to confirm whether the people in the room were asleep. When it was confirmed that it was safe, he immediately hurried towards the west of the courtyard - in the direction of the warehouse!

Under the pale moonlight, the figure held a piece of iron wire and poked twice at the padlock on the warehouse door. The lock bolt jumped, and the door squeaked open, and a strong smell greeted him. The smell of sour fermentation.

In the warehouse, of course Zhao Guoyan heard the noise, but his body was restrained and he had no way to deal with it, so he had to kneel down on the straw mat, lean against the wall, and stare at the door.

"You are still alive."

"Who?" Zhao Guoyan asked softly.

"One of our own!" The visitor responded in the same low voice. He tiptoed closer and looked at Zhao Guoyan from bottom to top. He couldn't help but marveled, "Two sets of five-flower bundles are not enough. They even tied the dog chain. ”

When he spoke, Zhao Guoyan also looked at him up and down.

But the appearance of the visitor was quite distinctive, and he could be described as having a photographic memory. At first glance, he looked like a stewed egg, and the braid on the back of his head was extremely shabby, probably only as thick as chopsticks.

"Master Zhang Jiu?" Zhao Guoyan narrowed his eyes.

"Hey! Do you know me?" Zhang Jiuye said with a slight smile, "Then it seems that I was the one who led you to Jiang Xiaodao last night." Zhao Guoyan saw that he had no intention of saving him, so he said: " I know you are working for Zhou Yunfu, why do you come to me?"

"I don't have anything else to do. I just came to ask you, are you willing to work for the old man?" Zhang Jiuye said with a smile, "The business of 'Heshengfang' belongs to Han Ce now. Those blue horses are against each other." You are full of praise, Chen Wantang is dead, Jiangcheng has suffered a massive loss of troops, and the old man is in urgent need of good hands."

"When I first came to Fengtian, I had nowhere to seek refuge. I never expected that I would suddenly become a famous person." Zhao Guoyan laughed at himself, "If you want me to work for Zhou Yunfu, you must at least let me go first, right?"

Zhang Jiuye shook his head quickly and said, "That won't work! If I want to use you, I want you to stay with Hai Lao Owl or Jiang Xiaodao, not with him."

Zhao Guoyan was stunned when he heard this, and asked quickly: "How did you know that Jiang Xiaodao wanted to take me in?"

"Just because you are still alive and haven't even been severely punished." Zhang Jiuye replied confidently.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Guoyan asked alertly, "Fake surrender?"

Zhang Jiuye waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "No, no, no, it's not that serious! If you want to work for 'Owl', I will never stop you. We are all our own people! You work for 'Owl', That means working for the old man."

"Then what do you mean by coming here?"

"Hey hey hey!" Zhang Jiuye's voice was originally very soft, but now it is even lower. "To be honest, the old man is a little worried about Hai Lao Owl. After all, Chen Wantang betrayed you, and your former brothers are still We are being protected by the old man! If 'Owl of the Sea' cannot swallow this breath, we can't fight among ourselves! Don't you think so?"

"Oh!" Zhao Guoyan snorted coldly, "So you asked me to be the culprit. Looking at Dianjiang Xiaodao and Hai Lao Owl, are you afraid that they will rebel like your second brother?"

"Smart! In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that if they have any arrangements, you can just let me know in advance so that the old man can be prepared. Our time is limited, what do you think...?"

……

……

About ten minutes later.

A figure flashed on the west wall of the secret house, and Zhang Jiuye landed silently. After standing still, he looked to the left and right and put the two stick bones that the dog had chewed into his arms.

Seeing that there was no one around, Old Rong muttered in his mouth, then took steps and walked away towards the deep direction of the alley entrance.

The evening wind blew suddenly, and countless fallen leaves slid on the ground, making a "brushing" sound. In a moment, the entire street seemed to have been swept, spotless, as if nothing had happened, and there was no one there. came.

Everything seems to be unaware of God and ghosts.

lean less.

There was a sudden sound of sand and stones inside the crevices of the high wall of the secret house.

Jiang Xiaodao appeared sideways, like a ghost. He walked out of the shadows, stood in the middle of the street, tilted his head, and looked for a while in the direction where Zhang Jiuye had just gone.

Immediately, he slowly put away the box cannon in his hand, but there was already a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
