Chapter 364 Waves in the Ink Sea

"My husband, why are you so happy?"

As the voice came out, a beautiful woman came out from behind the screen. It was Gui Heshu's original wife, Gui Xuanqing's biological mother, Gui Zhang.

This year, Gui Zhang is already 40 years old, but because of proper maintenance, she looks like a woman in her twenties or thirties, with a bit of charm in her grace.

When he saw Gui Zhang, Gui Heshu couldn't help but get more excited.

"Junzhu, look, the master has sent a letter."

"Oh?" Mrs. Zhang Junzhu raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and when she took the letter and looked at it, a deep joy appeared on her face.

"That's great, I thought the master didn't intend to pay attention to us before."

"How could it be, the master is not that kind of person, didn't he say that he would come to our Mohai City in a few days." Gui Heshu said excitedly.

Zhang Junzhu nodded, "Then my husband, you must prepare well and don't neglect the adults."

"Don't worry, I have thought about it, and I will satisfy the adults when the time comes." Gui Heshu said confidently.

Zhang Junzhu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Has Brother Nangong left?"

The smile on Gui Heshu's face gradually faded, and he shook his head, "No."

Zhang Junzhu frowned, "What do these two brothers want to do? Why do they stay here all the time? Is there any ulterior motive?"

Gui Heshu sighed, "It shouldn't be that bad."

"If it's not, why is it so abnormal? You know, they have come here before, but they stayed for one night at most and left. Why did they stay for several days this time?"

To be honest, Gui Heshu had already noticed something was wrong.

But Brother Nangong just didn't leave, and he was embarrassed to drive them away, so he could only bite the bullet and entertain them.

"Qing'er and Yanran from their Nangong family had a bad relationship before, so that the exchanges between the two sides have become much less in the past year or so. Now she suddenly visits again, and brings a very generous gift. This matter itself reveals something strange." Zhang Junzhu frowned and continued in a deep voice.

Gui Heshu also realized the seriousness of the problem, but he still comforted her.

"Madam, please rest assured. With the strength of the Nangong family, it is still far from being able to move our Mohai City."

"Husband, you are really confused. Am I worried about the Nangong family? I am worried about what if they call in other reinforcements?" Zhang Junzhu said helplessly.

In her opinion, her husband is good in every way, and the only shortcoming is that he sometimes behaves very naively.

Therefore, many major decisions in this huge Mohai City are made by her, and Gui Heshu is generally only responsible for daily affairs.

Gui Heshu's face became solemn when he heard this, and he slowly spoke after thinking for a moment.

"Madam is really thoughtful. I will go and notify the city guards now and ask them to take precautions in advance."

"No need. I have already notified them. They are lying in ambush nearby. If there is any unusual movement, they will respond immediately." Zhang Junzhu said helplessly.

Gui Heshu smiled and stretched out his hand to embrace Zhang Junzhu.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work."

Although they have been married for many years, Zhang Junzhu is still a little embarrassed in broad daylight.

"Hey, what are you doing? Be careful not to be seen by others."

"This is the back study. No one dares to come here without my order. Who can see it?" Gui Heshu said with a smile.

"That won't work... Oh."

After a moan, the back study returned to calm.

But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the looming and unusual noise that makes people think.

While the couple was showing their love in the back house, the Nangong brothers were having a secret conversation in the guest room in front.

Nangong Buliang said solemnly: "Three days have passed, and I don't know when the people from Wanghai Tower will come."

Nangong Heliang also said: "Yes, recently I feel that Gui Heshu's eyes have changed when he looks at us brothers. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he may have doubts in his heart."

"Okay, be patient for a few more days. Once the people from Wanghai Tower arrive, it will be useless for Gui Heshu to doubt."

"Hey, brother, how much profit can we share at that time?"

"At least 30%."

"Is it that much?" Nangong Heliang looked worried.

"From the domineering style of Wanghai Tower in the past, if they want to swallow the fat meat of Mohai City this time, they will never spit it out again."

Nangong Buliang was also a little hesitant.

"It shouldn't be. After all, without us brothers, they can't get such accurate information from Wanghai Tower, right? Such a big sect will never cross the river and destroy the bridge..."

Nangong Buliang's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, because he didn't even believe this reason.

"Then what do you think we should do, brother?" Nangong Buliang asked in a deep voice.

"Nothing else, we can only prepare in advance, and we can't put all our hopes on those grandsons in Wanghai Tower."

At this point, Nangong Shenliang lowered his voice and said excitedly.

"I have not only been drinking these two days, but also took the opportunity to go into the inner house with Gui Heshu to look around. As a result, I found that the furnishings in the front are mediocre and worthless. However, the road leading to the back house is very exquisite and heavily guarded, so I guess the good things should be in the back house."

"As soon as the people from Wanghailou arrive and fight together, we won't go anywhere. We will go to the back house first to search for money. In this way, even if they Wanghailou really forgets their own interests, our brothers will not be considered a loss."

Upon hearing his brother's suggestion, Nangong Buliang's eyes lit up and he clapped his thighs excitedly.

"Brother, you are very thoughtful, and not only can you make money, I heard..."

A Yinxie smile appeared on Nangong Buliang's face, "Gui Heshu's wife is a well-known beauty. Although she is older now, her charm is still there."

"When the time comes, our two brothers will kidnap this girl as well. Wouldn't that mean we gain both human and financial resources?"

Nangong Liang also smiled.

When it comes to lust, he is not inferior to his brother Nangong Buliang at all.

"When the time comes, if there's nothing else, I'll let you, brother, take the lead."

"Hahaha, good brother, but this girl is already in ruins, so it should be okay for us two to be together."

Then the two people started talking more and more openly.

At the same time, Pei Quan'an had no intention of thinking about that. He was staying in the room, waiting for his master's reply.

During this period, he rarely left the house, firstly to avoid being exposed, and secondly to wait for the arrival of the homing pigeon.

finally.

A very special sound of flapping wings came from the sky outside the window, and then Pei Quan'an couldn't wait to stick his head out.

really.

A gray dove hovers in the sky.

It was Wanghailou who was specially trained as a homing pigeon to deliver messages.

Pei Quan'an was delighted when he saw this and stretched out his hand to make a very special gesture.

In an instant, as if it had found a beacon, the gray homing pigeon flew down from the sky and landed in Pei Quan'an's hand.

Pei Quan'an was even more delighted when he untied the letterhead tied to the homing pigeon's anklet and opened it.

Because it was clearly written on it, Zhen Juncheng and others had already gone down the mountain and were on their way to Mohai City. They would arrive in two days at most.

The hibernation these days has long made Pei Quan'an feel irritable. Now that he finally sees the light of day, how can he not be happy.

After feeding the homing pigeon some food and water, Pei Quan'an released it.

This time Pei Quan'an did not return with a letter, because the location and other matters had been clearly explained last time, so there is no need to repeat them at this time.

After the homing pigeon flew out from where Pei Quan'an lived, it passed through the front house and flew westward.

But just as it flew to the edge of the back house, a silver bullet suddenly whizzed over and hit its wings directly.

With a thud, the pigeon fell from the air without even struggling.

Zhang Junzhu reached out to catch it. One look at the anklet and he knew that this was a homing pigeon specially bred to convey messages.

Her expression was a little serious.

What she was most worried about happened.

It is obvious that someone is communicating with the outside world through homing pigeons.

But there is no point in tracing who it is at this time.

However, the fullness of the wings of this homing pigeon shows the intention of breeding, which is obviously not something that ordinary sects can do.

Zhang Junzhu remained silent.

At this time, several fully armed warriors appeared around her.

"Mother, what's going on?" the leading warrior said solemnly.

Zhang Junzhu shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that someone is contacting the outside."

"Do I need to wait for a thorough investigation?"

"No need, I'll know who it is after thinking about it." Zhang Junzhu sneered and then looked at these warriors.

"Is there anything strange happening over there with Brother Nangong?"

"No, the two of them have been hiding in the house drinking. After drinking, they went to sleep. There was nothing unusual."

"Keep an eye on them. If there is any abnormality, shoot them without mercy." Zhang Junzhu said coldly.

"yes!"

After the instructions, Zhang Junzhu was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of something and added.

"And the group of people they brought must also be watched closely. No one will be left behind when the time comes."

"clear."

——

On a road about two thousand miles away from Mohai City, a person was walking slowly.

It was midday, the hottest time of the day.

Even if there are trees shading the roadside, the hot weather in midsummer is still not something ordinary people can resist.

No matter how poor they are, they will avoid going out as much as possible and find a shady place to rest for a while.

So there was no one on the road, only this man was walking slowly.

This person was wearing clothes stained with all kinds of oil stains, and even his chest had been polished so shiny that it could be used as a mirror.

He has messy hair on his head, and his face looks dark at first glance, but when you take a closer look, you will find that the black is clearly the sludge accumulated from not washing for countless days.

He was such a slovenly, even somewhat dirty middle-aged man, but his eyes would burst out with a captivating brilliance occasionally.

But most of the time his eyes were half-closed, as if he wasn't awake.

After walking for a while, a tea shed appeared not far ahead.

When the man slowly came to the tea shed, several people were already sitting inside, and a middle-aged old man was busy inside and outside with a big teapot.

Naturally, this kind of rural tea stall will not be like a big teahouse, with waiters and waiters coming to greet you.

If you want to drink tea, just find a stool and sit down.

Even if you don't want to drink a bowl of tea, you can scoop cold water from the water tank next to the stove and drink it yourself, no one will mind.

Of course, the man was not reluctant to spend the money on tea.

He went straight to a stool blocked by the shade of the tree, and after sitting down, the middle-aged old man came over to greet him.

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

The man didn't say anything, but just pointed to the table next to him, and then gestured, which meant the same thing.

The middle-aged old man suddenly realized and immediately felt pity in his heart.

Obviously, this shabby man was a mute.

No wonder he was rushing in such a hot sun.

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

As he said, he first poured a bowl of sour plum soup for the man to relieve the heat.

This kind of small tea stall naturally couldn't afford ice cubes, but the sour plum soup was cooled in the well, and it was refreshing to drink, and it was very delicious in this hot weather.

The man drank the sour plum soup slowly, and in a moment, the old man brought everything.

A plate of pickled eggs, a plate of dried tofu, and a plate of cold dishes made of wild vegetables.

Although the dishes were very simple, sitting under the shade of the trees with a cool breeze, eating such a small dish full of rural interest was also a special flavor.

The man was also eating happily.

But at this moment, he suddenly looked up at the distant mountains and forests.

Then there was a sound of branches and leaves, and then a group of people appeared on the official road.

This group of people was dressed much more stylishly.

The leader was even more extraordinary, and it was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time.

The group of people soon came to the tea stall.

The middle-aged old man had been in contact with rural idlers all year round, and he had never seen such a person, so he was so scared that he couldn't speak.

The group of people didn't pay attention to him, and glanced around the tea stall, and then someone said to the leader.

"Elder Zhen, this place is remote, and there is only one tea stall nearby, but the conditions are poor. How about we go a few steps forward?"

The leader was none other than Zhen Juncheng.

He just shook his head.

"Forget it, I haven't had a proper rest since morning, and the sun is so strong, it's not bad to take a rest at this small tea stall."

Then he said to the middle-aged old man who was already scared silly.

"Don't panic, we are all passers-by, we borrow this place to rest, and we will give you more tea money when the time comes."

The middle-aged old man didn't dare to say anything, just nodded.

The crowd surrounded Zhen Juncheng like a moon surrounded by stars and entered the tea shed.

Some tea drinkers were intimidated by the momentum of Zhen Juncheng and others, and had already hidden aside obediently.

Some timid ones even left the tea money and left quickly.

After Zhen Juncheng and others sat down, the middle-aged old man asked tremblingly.

"What would you like to order?"

Zhen Juncheng glanced around the teahouse, and when he saw the "mute" man not far from him, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

How could this man be so filthy?

But he still suppressed his unhappiness and said lightly: "Two side dishes and some tea to relieve the heat."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged old man hurried down to get busy.

From beginning to end, the man didn't raise his head, and was concentrating on chewing dried tofu.

But Zhen Juncheng didn't know that just when he looked at the man, the man's hand had already secretly clasped the spring.

As long as he pressed it, even if Zhen Juncheng was lucky enough not to die, he would lose a layer of skin.
