Chapter 53 Huang Zhongtai's Final Decision
At the gate of Liu Mansion.
Two figures slowly approached.
Chen Jingyi was followed by a man who was two meters tall.
He had the appearance of a tiger and the behavior of a wolf. With just one glance, nearly half of the people standing in front of the gate of Liu's mansion changed their expressions. Being stared at by this person was like being stared at by a terrifying beast.
There were two figures blocking the steps at the door. The man turned his neck and punched out the next moment. It was as fast as lightning. The air made a sound like a cannon roaring. The speed was so fast that the two people blocking the way had no chance to react and were directly smashed into the courtyard wall.
The courtyard wall cracked and the two men fell to the ground, their lives uncertain.
Seeing this, the others outside the door couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Although the two people blocking the way were not military generals, they were also seventh-grade martial artists. They were both disabled with just one punch.
The faster the punch, the more powerful it is.
"Brother, this is my home!"
Chen Jingyi glared at the big man with some dissatisfaction. The fierce look on the big man's face disappeared immediately, and he touched his head awkwardly: "It's your fault, big brother. I'll pay for you to fix it."
Inside the door, the butler looked at Chen Jingyi and Chen Jingwu who walked in, and the people he brought followed closely behind them.
"Are you two members of the Chen family?"
"A servant is qualified to ask me this? If Huang Zhongtai came, I might answer him."
Chen Jingwu didn't even look at the housekeeper, but instead his eyes fell on Chu Ning: "At this age, he has already reached the threshold of becoming a military general. He is indeed a genius."
After saying that, his gaze turned to Liu Junshan again, "It's just that your master is a bit useless."
"elder brother!"
Chen Jingyi shouted in dissatisfaction, and Chu Ning's mouth twitched. It seemed that the grudge between the teacher and his brother-in-law was very deep.
"I'm telling the truth. If he had a higher talent and had broken through to the rank of general earlier, how could you, my sister, have waited for so many years?"
Liu Junshan pursed his lips. At any other time, he would have retorted.
But today, at this moment, he had to endure it. If he wanted Chu Ning to be able to leave Daning County, he really needed this guy's help.
"Brother, I didn't ask you to come here to make sarcastic remarks."
The butler at the side had a depressed expression. Was he pretending not to exist? What the butler didn't know was that a few hours ago, there was a general who had the same mental journey as him at the moment.
"I know. You called me brother because I am here to support you." Chen Jingwu then looked at the housekeeper: "My name is Chen Jingwu. Is this name enough?"
"Of course I have heard of Master Chen's name."
Before coming, the housekeeper learned from Huang Zhongtai that Liu Junshan's wife Chen Jingyi had a brother named Chen Jingwu, who was the most powerful person among the middle-aged generation of the Chen family.
He behaves in a domineering manner and is not very popular among the Chen family, but he is highly regarded by the elders of the Chen family.
"Mr. Chen, do you think you want to involve the Chen family as well? This matter involves the Wushuang Sect."
"I don't know what Wushuang Sect is, and this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family. Chu Ning calls me sister and master's wife, so I will take care of this matter." Chen Jingwu glanced at the warriors guarding the door, and the next moment, his meridians throughout his body vibrated, crackling like firecrackers.
Bang! Chen Jingwu punched the bluestone slab on the ground, and the slab shattered instantly, stone chips flew everywhere, and stone dust rolled up. Many warriors near the door showed horror on their faces and dodged to the side.
The stone dust cleared and there was silence in the yard for a few moments, with everyone's eyes fixed on the crack on the ground.
The crack was a foot deep and extended from where Chen Jingwu's fist landed to the door.
This is the power of the hidden energy, but this can only be achieved when the hidden energy is as thick as a sword. For an ordinary sixth-rank general, the hidden energy is like silk. Although the silk thread is as sharp as a sword, it is impossible for it to cause such destructive power.
Liu Junshan was also shocked, but he caught a gleam in Chen Jingwu's eyes, and suddenly he had an urge to pick up an axe and chop at this guy.
Chen Jingwu definitely did this on purpose. He did this to scare these people and to destroy the foundation of his yard. This way, he would have no choice but to return to the city with Jingyi.
"Whoever crosses the line will die!"
Chen Jingwu glanced murderously at the butler and Huang Zhongtai's men.
The butler looked extremely ugly. He didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. They had the advantage in numbers, but Chen Jingwu was too strong. If they really fought, the outcome was still unknown.
The most important thing is that the cost of taking action is so high that he dare not make decisions on his own.
If Chen Jingwu dies here, the Chen family will definitely go crazy. If the matter of Ji Bochang is exposed, no matter how smart the master is, he will be powerless to save the situation.
But if you don't kill Chen Jingwu, you can't kill Chu Ning.
Facing a master of Chen Jingwu's level, it is not like facing Liu Junshan, where we can send out several generals to entangle him. We must go all out.
He also had no say in letting Chu Ning go.
"I need to ask the master for instructions on this matter."
Chen Jingwu snorted coldly and ignored the housekeeper, but Chu Ning knew that his master's wife's plan had worked.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Everything was within the master's wife's calculations.
The master's wife knew that Huang Zhongtai himself would not come to Daning County, and if the situation developed to the point where his subordinates were unable to make a decision, she would definitely ask Huang Zhongtai for instructions.
It took two hours to go back and forth.
As long as the time can be delayed to the ninth hour, Huang Zhongtai’s only choice is to let himself go.
Because if we delay any longer, people from Wushuangmen will be here.
Huang Zhongtai's men must retreat from Daning County before the Wushuangmen's men arrive, and with little time left, Huang Zhongtai will not take any more risks.
He bet that these people could kill him under the noses of his master, his mistress, and his mistress's elder brother.
The best option is to let yourself go first and then send someone to hunt you down later.
And she and her master acted as targets in the yard to attract Huang Zhongtai's men. This was another part of her master's wife's plan.
Attract all the people sent by Huang Zhongtai and trap them in this yard. This way, when he escapes from Daning County, he will not be hunted down.
Even if Huang Zhongtai received the letter and saw through his master's wife's plan, it was too late because it would take several hours to send people from Qingzhou to Daning County. By that time, the people from Wushuang Sect would probably have arrived.
Time passes by bit by bit.
The butler looked a little solemn, and so did the warriors behind him. In contrast, the atmosphere on Chu Ning's side was very relaxed.
Chen Jingwu even taught Chu Ning some martial arts.
"Your sword has good speed and enough power, but it lacks momentum."
"When using a knife, there are only so many skills. Practicing for three years is the same as practicing for a lifetime. What you need to practice now is the knife's momentum, and the momentum of the knife should first be the killing momentum. Killing more people on the way to escape will be beneficial to your knife's momentum."
Chen Jingwu's words made Huang Zhongtai's men look a little strange. Isn't this just asking Chu Ning to kill more of them on his way to escape? Because they will definitely chase Chu Ning.
But facing Chen Jingwu, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts.
One yard, two completely different atmospheres. The atmosphere changed when two pigeons landed in the yard.
The butler first opened the letter under the feet of the first pigeon, a smile appeared on his face after reading it, and then he untied the paper under the feet of the second pigeon.
"Mr. Chu can leave now."
The butler looked at Chu Ning, and then handed the paper in his hand to him: "This is what the master asked me to pass on to Mr. Chu. It is a martial arts technique that can conceal one's strength. I hope that when Mr. Chu leaves this time, he will be like a dragon entering the sea, hiding in the abyss, waiting to fly above the nine heavens in the future."
