Chapter 57: Action at night
"Chu Liang, this is not good!"
Mr. Hu found Chu Liang and said it worriedly.
The other party is going to block the entrance of the village all the time, what should we do?
Wu Neng and others are too strong. They are amazingly powerful. They are like a high wall blocking there. Just looking at them makes people terrified.
After a long time, no one in the village can stand it.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Chu Liang was surprised and said with a smile: "They are a monster-catching team with the imperial token. They are all warriors with abundant blood and qi. Wu Neng is a master of three blood and qi. With them guarding the entrance of the village, what monster attacks are we afraid of?"
"You..."
Mr. Hu was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Chu Liang actually regarded Wu Neng and others as free guards.
It is true that with Wu Neng and others guarding the entrance of the village, there is no need to worry too much about monster attacks in the future. Monsters of the level of tiger monsters are not Wu Neng's opponents at all.
But this is not a solution after all!
"Chu Liang, Wu Neng is moody, we really can't let them wait at the entrance of the village all the time." Master Hu advised: "Think of a way."
"Why are you so anxious?"
Chu Liang looked calm and said casually: "Since they are patient, let them wait slowly. Go back and tell them that I am also very patient. I am studying the tea ceremony recently and plan to explore ways to calm my mind and concentrate in the tea ceremony."
"Well, okay."
Master Hu had no choice but to leave the yard and run back to the entrance of the village.
He explained and modified Chu Liang's words, trying to make them more tactful, and passed them on to Wu Neng and others.
Waiting for his words, Wu Neng and others laughed instead of getting angry.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Wu Neng said three good words in a row and said: "Then wait and see who is more patient!"
Hearing this, Master Hu secretly complained.
Are these two parties really going to confront each other like this?
He was already exhausted today, and he didn't want to be a messenger for both sides in the future.
But he was the weakest of the three parties after all, and he had no other choice but to listen to both sides.
"Chu Liang, you should think of a way."
Mr. Hu ran back to Chu Liang's yard, his words full of pleading.
But Chu Liang just shook his head slightly, his expression calm.
"Don't worry, worrying will hurt your body, drink a cup of tea and relax." Chu Liang pushed a cup of tea in front of Mr. Hu, "This is blood ginseng tea, which is good for qi and blood."
"You... okay."
Mr. Hu had no choice but to pick up the tea Chu Liang gave him.
Blood ginseng is very expensive, the cheapest one is more than ten taels a piece, and the few pieces of blood ginseng in his teacup are worth at least half a tael of silver.
Don't drink it!
After a cup of tea, the warm feeling permeated the mouth.
"Good tea!"
Mr. Hu smacked his lips, feeling a little sweet, and seemed to be really calm, not as anxious as before.
Next, he could only wait slowly.
Outside, at the entrance of the village, the breeze was blowing gently.
Wu Neng and the others were waiting.
The warriors' time was precious, so they naturally couldn't really block the entrance to the village.
One of them asked, "Boss, how long should we wait?"
"Until noon." Wu Neng said to the others, "At noon, if that guy still doesn't come out, we'll leave."
"Pretend to leave?"
"Yes."
"Do it at night?"
"Yes."
After all, they were a team, and they basically had a tacit understanding.
Some words don't need to be said too much, just a glance, and each other can understand.
If Chu Liang really doesn't come out, they will act in the middle of the night, sneak into Chu Liang's yard, capture him alive and bring him out.
After that, whether it's questioning, torture, or anything else, they have plenty of time to do it.
However...
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from afar, interrupting Wu Neng and others' plan.
"Go!"
A group of more than ten people galloped over, with horse hooves flying and dust flying.
One of them was Song Zhong!
Seeing Song Zhong, Wu Neng and others' faces suddenly became ugly.
"Damn Song Zhong, why is he back again?"
"This bastard must ruin our good thing!"
With Song Zhong and the others here, no matter what Wu Neng and others plan to do, it is unlikely to be realized.
The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the dust raised by the galloping horses also got closer and closer.
In just a moment, Song Zhong and others arrived at the entrance of Qingshi Village.
"Whoa--"
Song Zhong leaned back, tightened the reins, and the black horse he rode neighed, raised its front legs, and stopped in front of Wu Neng and others in a half-standing posture.
More than a dozen people behind him also stopped.
This line was too fast, and the dust it brought up was like a hurricane, blowing straight through the village entrance.
As soon as it stopped, Song Zhong's cold voice rang out: "Wu Neng, I overestimated your face before, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"
"Song Zhong, what do you mean?"
Wu Neng looked unkind and shouted coldly.
Song Zhong asked back: "This tiger demon was killed by Chu Liang, and no one can take it away. I explained it to you last night!"
"Do you think I am here for the tiger demon's body?" Wu Neng said coldly.
"Otherwise, what is it for?"
"My brother Wu Qian disappeared last night. I suspected that Chu Liang was involved in this matter, so I came back to ask him."
"What a joke!"
Song Zhong looked cold and shouted: "What does Wu Qian's disappearance have to do with Chu Liang? Could he have come back to find Chu Liang halfway?"
Wu Neng replied: "It's possible."
"Why did he go to Chu Liang?"
"How should I know!"
"You don't know anything, but you suspect that it's related to Chu Liang?" Song Zhong said coldly, "It's unreasonable and groundless. It's too much to say that you are shameless!"
"You..."
Wu Neng's tone stagnated.
He really lacked some reason and couldn't argue with Song Zhong at all.
The more he said, the more loopholes there were in his words. It's better not to say anything.
But if he left like this, he couldn't bear it!
He had already held his breath last night. If he held it again today, he would be so angry that he would get sick!
"Song Zhong, do you think you can protect that kid for life?" Wu Neng's eyes were cold and his tone was grim. He no longer concealed his murderous intention.
"Oh? Are you going to keep an eye on him for life?"
Song Zhong looked indifferent. After saying this, he rode into the village.
The rest of the people behind him followed.
When passing by Wu Neng's team, everyone showed a look of contempt.
Song Zhong rode towards Chu Liang's yard and said loudly: "Chu Liang, do you have extra stools in your yard?"
"Yes, of course!"
Chu Liang laughed heartily.
He immediately opened the gate and welcomed Song Zhong and others in.
Mr. Hu in the yard was embarrassed again. Facing such a group of people, he felt like sitting on pins and needles.
He hurriedly brought out the stool from Chu Liang's room and carefully placed it in the yard, as if he was a servant of Chu Liang's family. He bowed and said: "Please sit down, everyone. I will prepare tea immediately."
"No need!"
Song Zhong waved his hand to stop him.
He did not sit down, and said to Chu Liang directly: "Chu Liang, sell me the corpse of the tiger demon, and then go to the county with me. As long as we go to the county, Wu Neng will not dare to be so presumptuous again!"
