Tao Dewang sat alone in the room, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, frowning slightly, secretly thinking about Gui Jianchou. With his many years of experience, he could confirm that Ma Xiaoyao was not lying, and Gui Jianchou must have returned to the world.
Just now, he carefully surveyed the surrounding environment and found no trace of Gui Jianchou... But Tao Dewang did not relax his vigilance because of this, because he was very aware of Gui Jianchou's strength. If Gui Jianchou deliberately hid and could not come out, he would
Tao Dewang's current strength cannot be discovered at all.
At this time, a picture flashed in Tao Dewang's mind...
In the splendid palace, the emperor in dragon robes drank wine and sighed: "I have a wish that has never been fulfilled. This wish is... to eradicate a guy called Gui Jianchou. Back then, Gui Jianchou was so arrogant that he dared to do so.
Fight with me for the throne... Although I severely injured Gui Jianchou in the end, Gui Jianchou still escaped. It was all my fault that I was careless at that time, which gave Gui Jianchou a chance to escape... More than a hundred years have passed.
Jianchou has never shown up, but I can be sure that Gui Jianchou is still alive and not dead... He must be hiding somewhere and watching me at the moment. I know him. He is a person who is unwilling to be lonely and has great ambitions.
He will definitely try his best to get revenge on me...Listen, if anyone can help me get rid of this serious problem of Gui Jianchou, I will reward him heavily!"
Although several years have passed, Tao Dewang still clearly remembers what the emperor said.
Damn it... Since you took the initiative to send me to my door, don't blame me for being cruel!" A stern look flashed in Tao Dewang's eyes.
…
Next, Tao Dewang began to make a series of arrangements. In order to perform the trick well and not arouse the suspicion of Gui Jianchou, he specially invited Zhennan Hou Long Xiaolin, Qingping Hou Yan Xueliang, and White Tiger Banner Commander Han Mingguang to come over.
There are many masters lying in wait around.
Originally, Tao Dewang wanted to report the matter to the emperor, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea. The merits of providing the information and directly capturing Gui Jianchou and sending him to the palace were incomparable.
Either don’t do it, or do it in a big way!
As long as Gui Jianchou is caught, the emperor will definitely be delighted, and he will reward Tao Dewang heavily, and maybe he will directly make Tao Dewang a prince.
Just because of Tao Dewang's selfishness, things took a huge turn... Of course, this is a story for later, so I won't mention it for now.
After the arrangements were made, Tao Dewang found Ma Xiaoyao and told Ma Xiaoyao in obscure language that the matter was settled and that it was up to Ma Xiaoyao next.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded, turned around and strode away.
Looking at Ma Xiaoyao's leaving figure, Tao Dewang breathed out gently and said in his heart: Success or failure depends on this!
…
There are three people sitting in the living room, namely Zhennan Hou Long Xiaolin, Qingping Hou Yan Xueliang, and White Tiger Banner Commander Han Mingguang. Among the three, Han Mingguang has the lowest status, so he sits at the bottom.
Ever since they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Long Xiaolin and Yan Xueliang had been quarreling and quarreling. If they hadn't been concerned about Tao Dewang's reputation, they might have started fighting long ago.
Long Xiaolin's son accidentally beat Yan Xueliang's son to death. Yan Xueliang jumped up and down, using all his personal connections. His only purpose was to have Long Xiaolin's son beheaded.
Of course, Long Xiaolin had to protect his son. In order to save his son's life, Long Xiaolin even visited a very powerful prince. As for the outcome, no one knew... Anyway, the case has been delayed for such a long time.
No verdict has ever been announced.
Han Mingguang sat on the chair with a low eyebrow. While drinking tea, he secretly thought about Tao Dewang's intention of calling him here... Although he was the commander-in-chief and held great power, he was not ranked high in Tao Dewang's eyes.
He had no contact with Tao Dewang for years... Why did Tao Dewang take the initiative to invite him here this time? What kind of medicine was sold in Tao Dewang's gourd?
"The bastard father gave birth to a bastard son." Yan Xueliang snorted coldly.
Long Xiaolin's face darkened: "Who are you talking about!"
"Talk about you!" Yan Xueliang sneered: "Just because you are a bastard, the son you gave birth to is also a bastard."
"Yan Xueliang, are you looking for a beating?" Long Xiaolin's eyes widened: "Don't think that since this is the prince's palace, I won't dare to beat you..."
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?" Yan Xueliang hummed.
Just as the two were arguing, Tao Dewang walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty." Long Xiaolin, Yan Xueliang and Han Mingguang all stepped forward to salute.
Tao Dewang waved his hand: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be so polite... Sit down, everyone, sit down. I called you all here because I want to tell you something. This matter is related to everyone's interests. I hope everyone can
Put aside your grudges for the time being and work together to get things done."
"What's going on?" Long Xiaolin asked doubtfully.
Tao Dewang took out three pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Long Xiaolin and others.
There were words on the white paper. After the three of them read it, they were all stunned...
Tao Dewang took back the three pieces of white paper and asked with a smile: "Is everything clear?"
"Ah...ah...it's clear...it's clear..." Long Xiaolin came back to his senses first, with a somewhat excited expression: "I...I will definitely cooperate with the county prince..."
"Me too." Yan Xueliang nodded immediately.
Han Mingguang also expressed his support for Tao Dewang. What was written on the white paper? How could it make Long Xiaolin and others so excited? Everyone must have guessed it, right? Yes, it was written on the white paper about ghosts seeing sorrow.
The main thing is that if you catch Gui Jianchou, you can please the emperor. If the emperor is happy, the three of them will definitely get a big reward.
"From now on, you three will stay in the room. Unless there is something very special, it is best not to come out and move around." Tao Dewang warned.
"Yes." Long Xiaolin and others nodded solemnly.
"Okay, you guys can rest, I'll go take a look in the front yard." After a few words of warning, Tao Dewang turned and left.
…
In the evening.
Ma Xiaoyao led Gui Jianchou to the county prince's mansion.
"Father, my master and the others are waiting for you inside." Ma Xiaoyao lowered his voice and said, "When we meet later, you have a good chat with them. I believe that with my foster father's ability, I can definitely get their support.
.”
Gui Jianchou smiled and nodded without saying anything.
"Father, since the matter has been settled, will you untie my meridians?" Ma Xiaoyao asked tentatively.
"Don't worry." Gui Jianchou waved his hand: "I will untie your meridians after we meet."
"Oh... that's okay." A trace of disappointment flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes.
"Let's go in." Gui Jianchou waved his hand and swaggered into the gate of the County Prince's Mansion. The guards on both sides did not step forward to stop him at all.
Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath, then raised his feet and chased after him.
"Well, the interior is well decorated and the environment is quiet. You will definitely feel relaxed and happy living here." Gui Jianchou nodded and praised as he walked away: "The book I read, your master is a person who knows how to enjoy it."
"Yes, yes, my master is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
The two of them walked and stopped, and finally came to a magnificent attic, which was Tao Dewang's residence.
"Oh... welcome, welcome." Tao Dewang came out with a smile on his face. He first squinted his eyes slightly to look at Gu Jian Chou, and then greeted him warmly: "You are my disciple's adoptive father, right? Sure enough,
The momentum is extraordinary!”
"Hello." Gui Jianchou nodded slightly.
After a few words of greeting, Tao Dewang invited Gui Jianchou to come inside to talk... Out of etiquette, Gui Jianchou walked in front. He took one foot out, his expression changed, and then he touched the ground with one foot, and his whole body suddenly became agitated.
Flying out diagonally, just now, Gui Jianchou suddenly felt a crisis. He always trusted his own intuition. As soon as he felt the crisis, Gui Jianchou immediately retreated.
That is to say, the skill of the front and back legs. As soon as Gui Jianchou flew out, hundreds of sharp arrows were shot out from the attic. The arrows were shining brightly, and they were all specially shot. If Gui Jianchou had reacted slower, he would have been shot by the sharp arrows at this moment.
Became a hedgehog.
"Good boy! You actually dare to plot against me!" Gui Jianchou yelled, and then rushed towards Ma Xiaoyao and Tao Dewang.
Tao Dewang didn't expect that Gui Jianchou would be so alert. The arrow array he had put so much effort into was useless... Since the first step of the plan failed, let's move on to the second step. Tao Dewang took a step back and took something from his arms.
He pulled out a bamboo tube and looked at it with his fingers. "Bang!" A flame suddenly shot out from the bamboo tube and shot straight into the sky for a long time.
"kill!!!"
A large number of people suddenly sprang out from all around, shouting and besieging Guijianchou. These people were all carefully selected by Tao Dewang, and they were all masters of one against ten.
"Whoever stands in my way will die!!!"
Gui Jianchou's eyes were blood red, and his attacks were ruthless. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen masters died, and they all died tragically. After Gui Jianchou killed several masters, he rushed towards Ma Xiaoyao:
"Asshole! I'm going to cut you into pieces today! The hatred in my heart has been relieved!" Gui Jianchou really hated Ma Xiaoyao. He had lived for such a long time and was once called a genius old fox. He never expected that he would be
Ma Xiaoyao was playing around in circles, and the ghost swore to God that he would make Ma Xiaoyao suffer a terrible death!
Ma Xiaoyao was startled and hurriedly hid behind Tao Dewang: "Your Majesty, save me!"
"Get away!"
Gui Jianchou broke out of the encirclement, rushed over covered in blood, and hit Tao Dewang with a pair of iron fists.
"Open it for me!"
Tao Dewang crossed his arms together and stretched forward, blocking Gui Jianchou's two fists. "Ah!" Tao Dewang screamed in pain, and his whole body suddenly flew out. He was in mid-air, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
The gap, this is the gap!
Tao Dewang is an eighth-level martial artist and a dignified county prince, but now he can't resist even one move. This ghost is really scary.
