This sent a chill down his spine, and he began to worry about Gou Wencai's safety.
"Do you know how long I have been following the palace master?" the chief manager suddenly said.
Li Tian looked at him strangely, not understanding what he meant and did not choose to answer.
The chief manager seemed to be talking to himself, not waiting for Li Tian's answer at all.
"Twenty years, a whole twenty years. I have worked hard for him in these twenty years and I have never complained. But now he has given the palace to a young boy. Haha, it's funny to say that.
What do you think I should do?"
At this time, the chief manager suddenly turned his head to look at Li Tian, revealing a strange smile.
"What do you want to do!" Li Tian's pupils shrank and he felt a chill.
He had a hunch that the chief manager was going to take action against Gou Wencai.
The chief manager suddenly stood up and came directly to his side.
"Oh, he is the palace master now, what can I do? Just stay here obediently. He is coming soon, and I have to meet the newly appointed palace master."
Li Tian struggled to get up, but was pinned down by the chief steward.
Then the chief manager took out two ropes and tied Li Tian's hands and feet to the chair. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
The rope was specially made. The harder he tried, the tighter it tightened. He could only give up struggling.
"He is Hou Qingbai's adopted son, you can't hurt him, otherwise Hou Qingbai will not let you go!"
Li Tian stared at the chief manager in front of him, trying to make him give up the so-called plan in this way.
The general manager was so ruthless and resolute in his actions, how could he be affected by just two sentences?
What he wanted to do, even the king of heaven, I couldn't stop him. This time he was determined.
Seeing that Hou Qingbai and Qing Miao'er were about to leave, before they left, he wanted to take over the position of Palace Master legitimately. In order to achieve this goal, he would do whatever it took!
After dealing with Li Tian, the chief manager left the room, leaving Li Tian alone.
At this time, it was difficult for Li Tian to immerse himself in his thoughts. He could not just watch Gou Wencai encounter danger like this.
The general manager is a practitioner, but Gou Wencai is just an ordinary person. How could he possibly defeat him?
But the rope tightened tighter and tighter, until it was difficult for him to move his hands and feet.
What to do, what to do! At this time, he kept thinking of ways, but he had no clue at all.
He was still trying to break free from the rope. As long as he could take out the compass, he could leave with Gou Wencai.
But no matter how hard he struggled, the effect would be minimal.
He didn't break free until a long time passed.
Just when he was about to give up, there was a rustling sound coming from behind him, and the sound came from underground.
There was a bang, a big hole was made in the floor tile, and a head poked out of the hole.
"Hey~ where is this? Did I dig in the wrong direction?"
The voice actually belonged to the two dogs who were running away, and a glint suddenly flashed in Li Tian's eyes.
"Gouzi! Is that you?" he asked hurriedly.
"No, you got the wrong dog. Goodbye!" Ergou said and plunged into the soil again.
That strong man must be near Li Tian. He just escaped from the sky and doesn't want to be in danger again.
"I'll give you more money! I'll give you more money! Save me!" Li Tian twisted his body and tried to turn around to save Ergou.
But at this moment, the two dogs had already disappeared without a trace.
Money? No matter how much money you have, your life is not as important as anything!
"You damn dog, I'll fuck you up!"
True despair is despair again after you have experienced hope.
He even suspected that Ergou came here specifically to make him sick.
If I had known it was outside just now, I should have gone over and made two stabs to make it die outside!
This time he really gave up and could only resign himself to his fate.
He leaned weakly on the chair, staring at the dim ceiling in a daze, hoping that things would turn around, he prayed like this.
...
"Is my brother in there?"
"Don't forget what I said to you on the way, Wencai, your brother is a secret agent of Lingtian Academy and has threatened the master of the palace. Logically speaking, I should deal with him directly, but I still gave you face. I believe you should know
What to do next.”
"Don't worry, I know how to choose between Qiancheng and him!"
"That's good, let's go in."
Suddenly, the sound of conversation coming from outside the door interrupted Li Tian's thoughts. He knew that it was Gou Wen who had come.
With the sound of the door opening, Gou Wencai appeared in front of him.
Maybe I drank too much at night, my face was a little flushed, and my eyes were a little red.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Gou Wen just walked in and saw Li Tian tied up like a maggot. His hands were all bloodshot and red, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"You can catch him anyway, why did you tie him up!" He felt a little distressed when he saw Li Tian's miserable state.
The chief manager behind him snorted coldly, "They are all people who are about to die. Will it make you feel bad if you tie them up?"
Hearing this, Gou Wencai fell silent for a moment.
Li Tian's mood at this time was contradictory. He knew that the chief manager would be unfavorable to Gou Wencai, but if he spoke out, he might die when he died. He had an illusion in his heart, what if Gou Wencai could save him?
"Brother Wencai..."
Gou Wencai heard Li Tian calling him to smile softly, and then walked to his side.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaotian, I'm here." He squatted down and began to untie the ropes from Li Tian's hands and feet.
The big manager outside the door just looked at everything coldly and did not say anything to stop him, as if everything was under control.
"I heard that you are already successful and a practitioner, but you still hide it from me. I have also taken the entrance test of Lingtian College before, but I didn't get in. To be honest, I really envy you.
." Gou Wencai had a gentle smile on his face as he untied the rope on his hand while untying the rope on his hand, without any intention of blaming him.
"Brother Wencai, I..." Looking at Gou Wencai who was chatting with him, Li Tian felt so mixed that he was speechless for a moment.
"My old man will definitely be proud of you if he finds out, brat." After untying the rope, Gou Wen stood up, put his hand on Li Tian's head and rubbed it.
Then he turned around and looked at the silent butler outside the door.
"I want to see the master and his wife."
His attitude towards Li Tian was different. Gou Wencai showed a very cold attitude when facing the General Manager. Even if the General Manager was a practitioner and it would be as easy to crush him to death as an ant, he would not give in at all.
The chief steward's eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold look flashing in his eyes.
"The master and his wife have already rested. We'd better not disturb them. I can make the decision today."
It can be seen that the chief manager wants to kill him first and then show off. Even though Gou Wencai is now the nominal master of the palace, he will not give him any face.
Hearing this, Gou Wencai nodded slightly, not surprised, as if he had expected this to be the case.
"If I voluntarily give up my position as Palace Master, take my brother and leave Ping'an Town and never come back, can you let us leave today?" Gou Wencai continued.
The chief manager sneered, with a trace of ridicule on his face, and sneered, "You are the master of the palace now. Of course you can leave at any time if you want, but I'm afraid your brother won't be able to leave. If he leaves and leaks the news, then the entire mansion will be affected."
I’m afraid I won’t be able to live in peace.”
That's what he said, but he believed that with Gou Wencai's character, he would not abandon Li Tian. Even if he gave up, he could find another opportunity to seize the position of palace master in the future, but it was just not justified.
"What if I guarantee that he will not leak it? I will take him back to the village early tomorrow morning and never return to Lingtian Academy. Is this feasible?"
Gou Wencai didn't give up, even if there was a little hope. If he still didn't know that the chief manager's real target was him, then he would have lived like a dog all these years, but just as the chief manager expected, he would not
Abandon Li Tian and ignore it.
The chief manager narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Only the dead can truly keep secrets."
From head to toe, Li Tian remained silent behind Gou Wencai. He knew that Gou Wencai was negotiating with the chief manager, but now the talks had collapsed.
Gou Wencai desperately wanted to save the two of them, but the chief manager refused to give in, and he was determined to make a decision today.
He could no longer hold back. With his strength as a practitioner, he could have easily taken away Gou Wencai's position as palace master after Hou Qingbai and his wife left, but now he had to do it before the couple left.
, to put an end to this matter cannot be described as confident and arrogant.
Gou Wencai nodded again. At this time, there was no need to continue the conversation. It was his turn to make the final decision. Should he abandon Li Tian to save himself, or should he give it a try and try to save Li Tian from escaping?
Ascension to heaven depends entirely on the next decision.
Li Tian also knew it, but at this moment his mind was blank. Besides fear, he was still afraid, and his clenched fists were slightly white.
This time, Gou Wencai was not asked to choose between the Hou Mansion and him. If it was that simple, Li Tian didn't have to be afraid, because he knew that Gou Wencai would definitely choose him.
It was a choice to risk his life. Li Tian did not dare to think deeply about it, because if he were from Gou Wencai's perspective, he would have no reason to save him. He only had one life, and if it was gone, it would be gone.
Gou Wencai slowly turned to Li Tian and stared at him intently, but at this time his eyes were full of determination.
Li Tian was at a loss for a moment, he wanted to mourn
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He begged Gou Wencai to choose to save him, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't speak. As soon as these words were spoken, it meant that Gou Wencai gave up on himself to save him, which he couldn't do.
He had thought about taking out the compass and giving it a try, but it would take time. The chief manager was keeping a close eye on them and would not give him this chance.
And just when he was confused and desperate, Gou Wencai in front of him moved his mouth slightly, as if he was saying something, without making any sound.
Li Tian's pupils shrank and he saw what he meant.
"Run! Run! Run!!!"
Looking at Gou Wencai with determination in his eyes, Li Tian finally knew what his final decision was.
In the end, Gou Wencai chose to leave the danger to himself and help him escape.
The chief manager outside the door looked indifferent, waiting for Gou Wencai's choice.
Li Tian clenched his fists tighter, as if it was difficult to take that step.
He is very afraid of death, very timid, and very cowardly, but because of this, it is even more difficult to face Gou Wencai's selflessness.
Feeling his hesitation, Gou Wen slowly raised his hand and put it on his chest, showing a gentle smile, as if to tell him not to worry.
Just this one action strengthened Li Tian's heart.
On Gou Wencai's chest is a small jade sword given to him by Hou Qing for free.
Li Tian raised his head and looked out the door, looking at the frosty-faced chief manager. At this time, he didn't seem so scared anymore.
Gou Wencai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then revealed a more determined look.
"run!"
He shouted, turned around and rushed straight towards the Chief Supervisor outside the door. With such huge force, he forced the Chief Supervisor back a few steps, leaving a gap for Li Tian to escape.
Li Tiansui immediately took off his legs and ran towards the door, running past the two of them in one go.
He did not run towards the gate of the mansion, but ran straight towards the depths of the yard. He was going to call Hou Qingbai and Qing Miao'er. As long as he was fast enough, he could save Gou Wencai.
The chief manager was not surprised at all, nor did he mean to stop Li Tian. He looked down at Gou Wencai, who was hugging him tightly, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Wencai, it seems that you have made a choice, but this choice does not seem to be the right one."
Gou Wencai didn't care what he said, but stared at Li Tian who was running away and hugged him tighter.
"Run! Don't look back! Run!!!"
Li Tian turned around when he heard this and ran forward as hard as he could.
At this moment, he could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears. The tears blurred his vision for a moment, and he raised his hand to wipe them away. He ran with all his strength.
"If the master of the palace knew your performance at this moment, he would definitely be very disappointed in you."
The chief manager didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he had no intention of catching Li Tian back. Instead, he was calmly talking to Gou Wencai.
Gou Wencai didn't know whether he was deliberately so easy to let him down his guard or something, but the strength in his hands did not weaken at all. The chief manager was a practitioner. If he let go and Li Tian was captured, then everything he had done would be in vain.
All in vain.
But the next moment, something horrified him happened.
The chief manager effortlessly broke free from his restraints, grabbed his neck with one hand and picked him up.
Feeling the huge force coming from his neck, Gou Wencai realized how ridiculous what he had just done was. If the chief manager was not willing, it would be difficult to do it even if he was close to him. Is this a practitioner?
There is no resistance, just like a mayfly shaking a giant tree, not overestimating its own strength.
At this moment, he clearly felt that death was so close to him.
"You will die if you make this choice, Wencai, do you regret it?"
The chief manager looked at Gou Wencai struggling in his hands as if he were looking at a corpse, so cold and emotionless.
He wanted to see Gou Wencai struggle and regret before he died, and even beg for mercy, so that he could eliminate his hatred for not being the master of the palace!
Why does a young boy who has only been in the palace for two years become the master of the palace?
The moment Gou Wencai made his decision, he was doomed. He knew that the chief manager would not give him the chance to see Hou Qingbai.
"He...is my...brother, I...want him to live!"
He struggled, but his eyes were still so determined, even in the face of death he did not waver at all.
Although he was also scared, he was also afraid.
But if you ask him if he regrets it after this moment, his answer must be no!
If he chooses to abandon Li Tian today, he will definitely live with regret and guilt for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to explain to his father when he returns home.
It's just a pity that his dream of wealth and wealth did not lead to happiness for his father at home.
