Chapter 638 Hiding
Chapter 638 Hiding
As night falls, stars dot the deep night sky.
Several priests had already arrived. Unlike Fang Yong and the others who were nervous and entangled, there was no ripple on their faces, and they even looked a little excited.
Having been suppressed in this secular world for too long, for them, tonight is the world of warriors.
In the early morning, Jiang Xiaochuan appeared in front of everyone.
With his sharp eyes, he scanned each offering to make sure everyone was ready.
Following Jiang Xiaochuan's order, the group set off quietly under the cover of night.
They were like a group of ghosts, approaching the Huangfu residence quickly and silently.
Arriving at the outskirts of Huangfu's house, the group stopped. Jiang Xiaochuan and Yuan Kaitai looked at each other, and the latter slowly closed his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly shook his head, indicating that there was no aura of a strange strong man inside.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan began to give orders.
"You four, guard the surroundings. If anyone tries to escape, kill them without mercy!"
The four servants took the order and left, occupying the four directions of Huangfu's residence respectively.
They were restrained and their eyes were sharp as knives, making sure no one could escape.
At this time, patrols had been stepped up in Huangfu's residence, and security was on high alert. It seemed that Huangfu Xiong did this to make himself feel at ease.
However, faced with the powerful strength of Jiang Xiaochuan and his team, these defensive measures seemed so fragile.
Jiang Xiaochuan quickly worked out a strategy. He turned to Yuan Kaitai and said, "Old Yuan, I'll leave Shan Zhengqing to you."
Although Shan Zhengqing is very powerful, he has injuries on his body and one of his hands is also broken.
With Yuan Kaitai's current strength, it is more than enough to deal with him.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Kaitai nodded in agreement, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
The feud between him and Shan Zhengqing has been going on for a long time, and today he finally has the chance to settle it.
"Today is the time to settle accounts with that old man."
Yuan Kaitai sneered and flashed into Huangfu's house like a ghost.
As Yuan Kaitai left, Jiang Xiaochuan reminded everyone: "Remember, I want Huangfu Xiong alive!"
After saying that, the group directly climbed over the non-existent courtyard wall.
Huangfu Xiong had not received any prior information about this sudden situation.
He never thought that Jiang Xiaochuan would act so quickly.
At this time, Huangfu Xiong was sitting upright in his study. The lights in the room were on brightly, illuminating the rice paper on the table and his furrowed brows.
There was a mountain of waste paper in front of him, and he pondered over and over again, trying to find the most appropriate words.
Finally, he made up his mind and picked up his brush to paint on the new rice paper.
However, just as he finished writing the sentence "A letter from my cousin Huangfu Jingzhai", he heard a noisy sound in his ears. The sudden noise made him upset.
Just then, the door of the study was pushed open heavily, and the butler rushed in in a panic, his face full of fear.
"What's the sound outside?"
Huangfu Xiong questioned with a frown, his tone revealing obvious displeasure.
"Master, no...something bad has happened!"
The butler said breathlessly, looking panicked.
Huangfu Xiong's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
"Jiang Xiaochuan and his men broke in!"
The butler replied in a trembling voice.
Huangfu Xiong's expression suddenly changed: "Go and invite Elder Shan!"
"Mr. Shan is being entangled and can't get away."
The butler replied quickly.
Huangfu Xiong's heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered: "Then let Yan Qing come over!"
"Yan Qing has also been entangled."
The butler swallowed and said with difficulty.
"what?"
Huangfu Xiong's pupils shrank, and he shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! Wang Xiting hasn't come back yet, and Jiang Xiaochuan is still injured. How can he have the energy to stop both of them at the same time?"
"Master, it's not just Jiang Xiaochuan's people."
The housekeeper explained, "Several other major families also sent their tributes, including the Fang family."
Hearing this, Huangfu Xiong felt a surge of anger.
He never expected that even the Fang family, who had always been on good terms with him, would betray him.
He slammed the table hard, his heart filled with regret.
If he had known this would be the case, he would rather have given all his property to Huangfu Jingzhai earlier and would never have waited until now to write this letter.
"Master, as long as we have the green mountains, we will never be short of firewood." The housekeeper persuaded anxiously, "That place is extremely secretive, no one can find it! As long as we stay out of the limelight for the time being, we will definitely have a chance to make a comeback in the future."
The housekeeper's words were like a shot of adrenaline, giving Huangfu Xiong a glimmer of hope in despair.
