Chapter 166 The storm is coming
"Son!"
Zi Wen stopped in front of Meng Jingchen, his eyes full of disapproval.
"What if there is a fraud..."
Meng Jingchen looked indifferent, with no fear in his eyes.
“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs.”
"I am willing to follow you, sir."
Meng Jingchen looked at the two people in front of him, as if asking with his eyes, and one of the two replied coldly,
"casual."
"Absolutely not! If anything happens to you, Master Meng, how can I explain it to the Duke's Mansion?"
Magistrate Yang knelt down hurriedly. If something happened to Meng Jingchen in his place, not only would he be unable to keep his official position, he might even lose his life.
"Go away."
Meng Jingchen's imposing manner was so intimidating that County Magistrate Yang could only crawl away tremblingly. He turned his eyes and saw Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingxu who were watching the show nearby. He immediately spoke to them,
"Two young masters of the Xiao family, please persuade Young Master Meng as well."
Xiao Mingxu turned his head away, not wanting to meddle in other people's business, while Xiao Mingli asked seriously,
"Master Meng, are you really going?"
Meng Jingchen responded lazily.
"Well, Mr. Xiao, do you want to go with me?"
Xiao Mingli: Thank you for the invitation, but I decline.
Meng Jingchen snorted lightly, and followed the two men into Wushi Village with Ziwen. The iron gate opened and closed, and everyone outside Wushi Village fell into silence for a while.
Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingxu walked to a secluded corner nearby. Xiao Mingxu asked first,
"What do you think Meng Jingchen is looking for?"
"It should be related to the Zhenguogong Mansion."
Xiao Mingxu rolled his eyes at Xiao Mingli.
"You are talking nonsense. If it has nothing to do with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, does it have anything to do with you?"
Xiao Mingli gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"So what do you think my dear brother?"
"Not yet."
Xiao Mingxu looked at Xiao Mingli with a silly smile on his face, and Xiao Mingli felt a little dizzy because of anger.
"By the way, what about the fourth brother? If I had known this, I would have asked Meng Jingchen to help ask when he went in just now."
Suddenly, Xiao Mingxu covered his mouth in fear, and Xiao Mingli was speechless.
"Why are you so startled?"
But Xiao Mingxu said,
“What do you think? Will the leader of Wushi Village think that Meng Jingchen was specifically looking for Xiao Mingrui, so in fact the leader of Wushi Village gave Xiao Mingrui to Meng Jingchen as a gift? Will Meng Jingchen be mad to death then? Hahahahaha.”
Xiao Mingli: "You'd better not let them hear this, otherwise you will die miserably."
Xiao Mingxu: ...
In Yuxi County, Xiao Mingrui and others have arrived at the city gate.
Hua Bei didn't say anything along the way. Jiang Tunan saw Hua Bei frowning and felt something was wrong, so he spoke,
"It's not even night yet, and it's not raining, why are you frowning like that?"
Hua Bei ignored Jiang Tunan's questioning, because along the way, an unknown panic gradually took over his heart.
"Something's wrong. No, I'm going back now."
Hua Bei turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Mingrui.
"Please stay, Mr. Flower."
Xiao Mingrui took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Bei.
"Why don't you finish reading the letter first, Mr. Hua?"
Jiang Tunan was full of questions at this time. What kind of plot had happened without her knowing? Xiao Mingrui actually accepted the hidden mission without her knowledge. It was too much! So Jiang Tunan quietly approached Hua Bei and wanted to peek at the contents of the letter, but Xiao Mingrui grabbed her by the collar.
"Cousin, it's rude to read other people's letters."
Jiang Tunan: Thank you, the ancient Greek god in charge of information privacy.
"Yes, Miss Jiang, how can you just peek at other people's letters?"
Su Xiaoxiao spoke out to accuse him at the right time, but when Jiang Tunan's eyes swept over her, she panicked and hid silently behind Guo'er.
Hua Bei finished reading the letter that Gu Lang left for him and felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
why...
Why am I the one who is pushed out? Everyone can experience life and death with Gulang, but not me?
Hua Bei felt a little headache and kept mumbling,
“Why..why..why..”
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and tugged at Hua Bei's sleeve with some concern.
"Playboy..."
"Do not touch me!"
Hua Bei suddenly exploded and pushed Su Xiaoxiao away, and Su Xiaoxiao lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Hua Bei with disbelief, her eyes immediately filled with tears. She bit her lips tightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
But Hua Bei didn't care about Su Xiaoxiao lying on the ground. Instead, he questioned Xiao Mingrui with red eyes.
"You knew that from the beginning, right?"
Xiao Mingrui answered the question irrelevantly.
"He wants you to live."
Hua Bei laughed softly. His laughter was sad and creepy. Jiang Tunan got goose bumps for no reason in broad daylight. Even Su Xiaoxiao on the ground stopped performing and got up in fear and hid aside with Guo'er.
Jiang Tunan saw Hua Bei's crazy look and thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that Hua Bei was going to turn evil!
"Cousin, what happened to him?"
Xiao Mingrui looked at Jiang Tunan's anxious expression and slowly said,
“Perhaps after today, Wushi Village will no longer exist.”
Jiang Tunan's mind went blank, and he asked blankly,
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Mingrui sighed deeply, looking somewhat reluctant.
"Cousin, the people of Wushi Village are subordinates of the Duke of Zhenguo who betrayed the country and collaborated with the enemy. This matter has been discovered by the officials of the court. The people of Wushi Village cannot escape."
Jiang Tunan's heart skipped a beat. No wonder Shar's expression was a little strange at that time. No wonder Gulang sent them out of Wushi Village today. It turned out that everything had a reason.
"I'm going to save Brother Gu!"
Just as Jiang Tunan was stunned, Hua Bei rushed towards Wushizhai like crazy. By the time Jiang Tunan reacted, Hua Bei had already run far away.
"Cousin, should we stop him?"
Jiang Tunan was still a little confused at this time. It turned out that the reason why Hua Bei turned evil was not because of Su Xiaoxiao, but because of the death of everyone in Wushizhai. But...how could he prevent the death of everyone in Wushizhai.
"It doesn't matter. Let him go. We can't stop him. If he rushes back now, I'm afraid that by the time he gets to Wushi Village, all the Meng family members will have left."
Even if he could stop Hua Bei for a while, he could not trap Hua Bei forever. At least from now on, in the eyes of others, Hua Bei had nothing to do with Wushizhai.
"Meng family? Are you talking about Meng Jingchen?"
Xiao Mingrui's eyes were deep and dark, and he answered in a somewhat unnatural tone,
"Exactly. This is not the first time he has dealt with something like this. No one can survive in his hands."
Jiang Tunan didn't pay attention to what Xiao Mingrui said, but was thinking about whether he could persuade Meng Jingchen to reduce some of the casualties in Wushi Village based on his friendship with him. The people in Wushi Village didn't look very bad, so it was a pity for them to die like this.
But if they still support the traitor, Jiang Tunan has no reason to persuade himself to plead for them.
Just like Jiang Tunan can never forgive those traitors, people who betray their country should be despised.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing now is that Jiang Tunan found that he and Meng Jingchen had no friendship at all...
"Cousin, I...I want to go to Wushi Village to take a look."
