Chapter 555 The Fish is Hooked
Uncle He was awakened by the pain.
When he woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar place and frowned.
However, judging from the layout of his surroundings, he quickly realized that he was in an inn.
It’s not the inn on Xu’s side.
The things at the Xu family's inn are all brand new, while the things here are relatively old.
Did the young master take me away from Yuancheng?
Just as he was thinking, the door of the guest room was pushed open from the outside.
Before he looked up, he smelled the fragrance of medicine.
"Awake?" He Minhao's voice was very faint.
As he finished speaking, he walked to the bedside.
He Minhao placed the medicine in his hand on the low table beside him and said, "Since you're awake, drink the medicine first."
After saying that, he reached out to help him up.
But Uncle He refused.
He hasn't reached the point where he needs help getting up.
But the alienation in He Minhao's voice made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Uncle He took great pains to sit up from the bed.
After taking a look at the wound he had rebandaged, he turned to look at He Minhao:
"Young Master, where is this?"
As he said this, he picked up the medicine beside him with one hand and drank it slowly.
The medicine is very bitter, so bitter that it is difficult to swallow.
But he still forced himself to drink it all. Only by taking the medicine could his injuries recover faster.
"Mocheng." He Minhao looked at him.
After he finished drinking, he spoke with a sullen face:
"Uncle He, I don't care what you find out about the Xu family in Yuancheng, I hope you won't tell my father.
The Xu family is not easy to mess with. If they were easy to mess with and so easy to swallow up, do you think the Song family would come after my father?
They knew that the Xu family was not easy to deal with, so they used the He family as a weapon.
If they really fight the Xu family, it will be the He family, not the Song family, that will be wiped out. "
He has been thinking about these things these days.
If you calm down, it is easy to detect the trick.
The Song family is clearly using the He family as a pawn, otherwise the Song family would never have given such a big piece of pie to the He family from the Xu family.
The Song family probably wanted to reap the benefits while sitting back.
To put it simply, it means letting the He family and the Xu family fight to the death. No matter which family loses, it will be beneficial to the Song family.
Uncle He smiled bitterly, "Young Master, how could the Patriarch not know what you are talking about? But the Patriarch has his own difficulties. It's not easy for the Patriarch, you have to understand him.
Don't worry, I will continue to talk to the head of the Xu family about the matter so that he can explain it to the He family."
He Minhao pursed his lips, "Uncle He, please persuade my father.
We all know where Mocheng is.
The Xu family stayed in Mo City for less than a year, but they had already established a firm foothold, dealt a heavy blow to major forces, and turned Mo City into a situation where only one family dominated.
A family like this is definitely not simple.
It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe them as wolves.”
Therefore, if you mess with them, it might not be as simple as having a piece of your flesh bitten off.
Uncle He nodded tiredly, his body stiffening slightly as he thought of what happened that night.
He looked up at He Minhao and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Young Master, is anyone coming back to join us?"
He Minhao shook his head, "No, not a single person.
They...are probably all dead!"
He Minhao finally told the truth cruelly.
Those dozen people were one-third of the elite troops of the He family. Now they were killed silently. This was also a heavy blow to the He family.
Uncle He's hands trembled, his mouth full of bitterness, "I know."
I was seriously injured, and I'm afraid they are also in great danger.
"Uncle He, tell me, what happened last night? What did you do?" He Minhao asked.
Uncle He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then told the story.
When He Minhao heard that he was planning to take over the Xu family greenhouse, he staggered and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Uncle He, you really dare to think so."
No wonder the Lin family acted so cruelly, we really can’t blame them.
Uncle He smiled bitterly, “This business is too profitable.
I thought that the Xu family would perish sooner or later, so instead of letting this business fall into the hands of others, it would be better to keep it in the hands of our He family.
In this way, within three years, our He family will definitely surpass the Qi family in strength."
"Stupid!" He Minhao gritted his teeth.
This is the Xu family's secret. How could the Xu family reveal it so easily?
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "How about the Xu family? How many people were injured?"
It's over.
If many people are injured, the Xu family will definitely not let the He family go.
Uncle He smiled bitterly, "If I say that the Xu family almost wiped out our entire army without spending a single soldier, would you believe it?"
Seeing He Minhao's surprised look, Uncle He shook his head:
"That place is filled with all kinds of traps, and you have no idea where they are hidden. Even if you trigger a trap and dodge it, you don't know if it's a chain or a single one.
The Xu family used these devices to keep all the people I brought there!"
That's why he was afraid.
Before anyone from the Xu family showed up, they were already completely wiped out. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
He Minhao couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Finally, he looked at the injuries on Uncle He's body and shook his head, "Uncle He, you are really lucky to be able to survive."
Uncle He smiled bitterly, he was really lucky this time.
He came here thinking he was going to die.
"You should have a good rest and leave here as soon as the sun rises tomorrow." He Minhao said, they couldn't stay here anymore.
He was also afraid that the Xu family would settle accounts with him later.
…
Bang!
The right wheel of the carriage that Jiang Wenhao was riding in suddenly fell into a pit, and the entire carriage tilted to the right.
Jiang Wenhao, who was sitting in the carriage, uncontrollably bumped into the carriage beside him because of the tilt, and Jiang Wenhao frowned.
"Sir, the carriage wheels are stuck in the mud."
Jiang Qiao's voice rang out from outside the carriage, followed by the sound of him getting off the carriage:
"Master, I'll go see what's going on."
Jiang Wenhao rubbed his head which was hurt from the collision, and with the help of another servant, he carefully got out of the carriage.
Jiang Qiao came over and said, "Sir, this pit is quite deep. I'll try to use a horse to pull it out."
Seeing that Jiang Wenhao agreed, he walked over to drive the carriage.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he pushed, the horse just couldn't pull the carriage out of the deep pit.
After trying several times, Jiang Qiao finally walked towards Jiang Wenhao and shook his head:
"Sir, I can't pull it."
Jiang Wenhao took a look and said, "Let's go and try to lift the carriage together to see if we can."
But after trying, they found that they couldn't lift it at all, so the three had to give up.
Jiang Wenhao glanced at the sky and saw that it was already getting dark.
And most importantly, the snow is getting heavier now.
They had just left Beijia Village not far away and had to leave here as soon as possible.
"Sir, why don't you ask Qingshan to go to the nearby village to find someone to help carry the carriage?" Jiang Qiao suggested.
If they don't move the carriage out, they will probably have to spend the night here.
The weather is so cold, they might get frozen if they stay here overnight.
Jiang Wenhao nodded and asked Jiang Qingshan to find someone.
"Sir, it's cold, so put on your cloak first." Jiang Qiao took the cloak from the carriage and put it on Jiang Wenhao.
Jiang Wenhao looked at the deep pit with a frown on his face.
Jiang Qiao followed his gaze and shook his head. "Such a deep pit, I'm afraid someone must have dug it on purpose. I just don't know who is so wicked as to dig such a big hole on the side of the road."
Jiang Wenhao's face darkened. "Didn't you see this pit when you were driving the carriage just now?"
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"The sky was a bit dark, and there was snow, so I didn't notice there was a pit here."
But soon he frowned, "No."
Then he got down on his hands and knees and checked the bottom of the pit.
It was impossible for him not to see such a big pit. If he didn't see it, it meant there was something wrong with it. Now he needed to verify his guess.
Jiang Qiao stood up quickly, holding some branches and dead grass that shouldn't be there.
Jiang Qiao looked grim, "Sir, I'm afraid this trap was set up intentionally by someone.
It was supported by very light dead branches, covered with thatch, and covered with snow. If you don't look closely, you can't see the problem at all."
"It's coming for us." Jiang Qiao said with certainty.
Jiang Wenhao had guessed this possibility long ago.
He glanced at the surroundings that were gradually being swallowed by darkness, pursed his lips, and said, "Take the important things, forget about this carriage, and let's get out of here first."
Jiang Qiao was startled, "Sir, if we abandon the carriage and leave, will we fall into the enemy's trap?
The road is difficult to travel on a snowy night. I think it’s safer to wait until Qingshan finds someone to lift the carriage before continuing on our journey.”
It is very dangerous to travel on foot on a snowy night.
Jiang Wenhao sneered, "Do you think Qingshan can invite people here?
I'm afraid something has happened to Qingshan now.
Their intention must be to keep me here and not let me leave."
Jiang Qiao frowned. He felt that the Xu family was forcing them to abandon the carriage and continue on their journey.
"Sir, I still think we shouldn't abandon the carriage..."
"Okay, Jiang Qiao, I know you're cautious." Jiang Wenhao interrupted him and shook his head:
"Based on what I've known about Madam Xu recently, I invited her to stay here and force me to reunite with the others. She wanted to involve me in what happened tonight."
Speaking of this, Jiang Wenhao's eyes became deep:
“We must not let them have their way.
Along the way, we'll leave a signal for Qingshan. If he's alright, he'll bring his men out of the carriage and then naturally catch up with us."
Jiang Qiao couldn't argue with Jiang Wenhao, so he could only take the important things and leave with him in the wind and snow.
What they didn't know was that their every move was being seen by the spy lying in the snow not far away.
As soon as they walked away, the spy immediately got up and ran quickly in another direction.
The fish took the bait.
