Chapter 1149 Wishful Thinking
In the evening, the cool wind bypassed the eaves, passed through the gap in the door, and caressed Zhu Xinghe's face in the room, and even the few strands of white hair on his temples were slightly fluttering.
Zhujiashanzhuang.
The most heavily guarded place in Zheng City is like the inner courtyard of the ancient palace. There are bright posts and dark posts everywhere. Even if it is a martial arts master level master, coupled with good lightness kung fu, it is extremely difficult to infiltrate Zhu's Villa silently.
Zhu Xinghe is now sixty years old, but his body is still strong, with a pair of wise eyes on his rosy face. It can be said that Zhu's family was able to develop to its current scale and become the No. 1 family in He Province, mainly because of his hard work.
"who?"
Zhu Xinghe, who was reading quietly, suddenly changed his expression and shouted sharply. At the same time, he held a sharp dagger in his hand, held the dagger in his backhand, and focused his eyes on the closed door.
"Crunch..."
The door was gently pushed open, and Tang Xiu, who was wearing black casual clothes and a bronze mask, stepped into the room. When he saw Zhu Xinghe's actions, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Zhu Xinghe? Zhu Family Patriarch, right?"
Zhu Xinghe looked at Tang Xiu coldly. He didn't notify the family guard immediately because he was very clear about one thing. The other party could come here quietly and stand in front of him. He might be very powerful. In the past, there were also people like this, who appeared in front of him without disturbing any family guards. Although it was only that one time, the opponent was indeed a powerful person.
"Who are you?"
Tang Xiu stepped into the room, closed the door again casually, then grabbed a chair, put it on the opposite side of Zhu Xinghe, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, and I also have no intention of killing you. I'm taking the liberty this time I came here just to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer me honestly, I will leave directly after I get a satisfactory answer. "
Zhu Xinghe frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, there used to be someone who stood in front of me silently like you, but she still reported her family name, which is the most basic polite behavior. I want me to answer your question, No problem, but I need to know who you are."
Tang Xiu said lightly: "If you know my identity, it will bring you a lot of trouble, and even your Zhu family. Even so, you still want to know my identity?"
Zhu Xinghe said in a deep voice: "I, Zhu Jia, have never been afraid of trouble."
"you sure?"
Tang Xiu's surging breath was released instantly,
Directly oppressed Zhu Xinghe, and smiled coldly.
Zhu Xinghe's complexion changed drastically. He struggled to get rid of this terrifying sense of oppression, but what shocked him was that even though the true energy in his body surged crazily and almost exhausted all his strength, he still couldn't move an inch .
this person...
So scary, even scarier than she was back then.
Tang Xiu asked again: "Are you really sure?"
Zhu Xinghe fell silent. Although he could speak now, he didn't dare to persist anymore. With the terrifying strength of the other party, he alone could kill all the guards in his entire Zhu family overnight. Clean, including all members of his Zhu family.
After a while.
With a bit of helplessness and bitterness, Zhu Xinghe asked slowly: "What do you want to ask?"
Tang Xiu withdrew his momentum, raised his legs, and took out half a pack of cigarettes, took out one from it and lit it, then threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Zhu Xinghe, and said flatly: "Your Zhu family is the first family in He Province, I think what is amazing is not only your strength, but also your intelligence and information. Since you are in a high position, you should have seen that person before, so the main purpose of my coming this time is to hope that you can talk to me about Piaoxue The matter of the villa."
"Piaoxue Villa?"
Zhu Xinghe's complexion changed slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "You are all the same kind of people, why do you have to make things difficult for ordinary people like me? If there is any grievance between you, please resolve it yourself."
Tang Xiu said: "Of course, our affairs will definitely not affect you or your Zhu family. I just want to come here to inquire about some news. After all, we all understand the principle of knowing the enemy and knowing yourself and winning every battle."
Zhu Xinghe asked: "Are you in a hostile relationship with Piaoxue Villa?"
Tang Xiu stretched out a finger, shook it and said, "No, no, it's not certain yet, Piaoxue Villa is my enemy. Zhu Xinghe, answer my question, who is the owner of Piaoxue Villa?"
Zhu Xinghe was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Xue Wuhen."
Tang Xiu said, "Be more specific."
Zhu Xinghe said: "Xue Wuhen, woman, I don't know what she looks like. I have seen her once in my life. At that time, she was like you, wearing a bronze mask and appearing in front of me, where you are sitting now. She is very powerful. , the aura she released back then was slightly worse than your current one, but the gap is not that big. I don’t know anything else.”
Tang Xiu asked: "You mean, she once came to look for you in person, for the friction between you two?"
Zhu Xinghe had a deep feeling in his heart, and instantly realized that before the mysterious person in front of him arrived, he should have done some research on himself and Piaoxue Villa.
"That's right!"
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Then, what do you mean, the other party is also a cultivator?"
Zhu Xinghe smiled wryly and said: "Except for cultivators, who can have such powerful strength as you? I ask myself that among the ordinary people, my strength is very strong. I broke through to the realm of martial arts master more than ten years ago, but I am not as powerful as you. In comparison, that is simply the difference between clouds and mud."
Tang Xiu pondered quietly for a few minutes, then asked again: "What are the characteristics of the other party?"
Zhu Xinghe said: "Tall and tall, wearing a white dress, the only feature is that she is barefoot, I could see clearly at that time."
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Tell me about the situation in Piaoxue Villa."
Zhu Xinghe nodded and said: "Piaoxue Villa is known as the third largest power in He Province, but it is not true. If my guess is correct, the overall power of Piaoxue Villa is definitely much stronger than our Zhu family. Other things He said, just Xue Wuhen alone, if we really wanted to fight, we would be able to kill everyone in our Zhu family. Now Piaoxue Villa is in charge of the deputy owner Xue Mengdie. They are also very powerful. In just over twenty years, the business of Piaoxue Villa has spread all over the province, and many businesses have been quietly monopolized by them. By the way, what I need to emphasize is that all members of Piaoxue Villa Made up of women."
"All women?"
There was a look of surprise on Tang Xiu's face.
Zhu Xinghe smiled wryly and said: "That's right, all of them. It is said that women can hold up half the sky, and it has been completely verified by them. Although those women control some men, those men are just doing things for them, and they are not Piaoxue at all." People from the villa. As far as I know, there is only one man who has been able to step into Piaoxue Villa in the past few decades, and it happened a few months ago."
Tang Xiu's expression changed, and he asked, "Who is that man?"
Zhu Xinghe said: "I don't know him very well, I only know his name: Chu Yuan."
Chu Yuan?
A handsome face and that suave appearance appeared in Tang Xiu's mind. Once the successor of the Royal Garden of the Demon Capital, a well-known genius in the business circle of the Demon Capital, and even a member of a strange family, the suitor of Xueyu.
but.
How could he enter Piaoxue Villa? Could it be that a woman in Piaoxue Villa has taken a fancy to him?
Thinking of this possibility, Tang Xiu immediately revealed a smile, and asked, "Is there anything else about Piaoxue Villa? Something very special."
Zhu Xinghe shook his head and said: "Although we are all in Zheng City, Piaoxue Villa is hidden too deeply, and it is very low-key. Generally, those who are exposed to the outside are those who work for Piaoxue Villa. For their villa Even I don’t know much about those members inside.”
Tang Xiu no longer asked about the situation of Piaoxue Villa, but said: "Are you not afraid that I am from Piaoxue Villa? Are you not afraid of answering my question so cooperatively?"
Zhu Xinghe showed a smile, shook his head and said: "I just said that there are no men in Piaoxue Villa."
Tang Xiu nodded, and as the door opened instantly, Tang Xiu who was sitting on the chair disappeared out of thin air. There was only a faint sound of closing the door, proving that someone had just come.
"call……"
Zhu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette with trembling hands, lit it, took a puff, and suddenly his complexion changed slightly.
"This smoke?"
He could easily feel that as he inhaled the cigarette into his stomach, it immediately turned into a warm current and flowed through his limbs and bones. Just this one sip was enough for him to practice hard for several months.
suddenly.
A familiar voice came into his ears: "Inform the intelligence personnel of the Zhu family to let them lie dormant. In the next six months, don't deliberately collect any intelligence, and don't investigate anyone."
Zhu Xinghe's complexion changed, and there was a hint of awe in his eyes. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency's order, Zhu Xinghe dare not refuse. Within half a year, the Zhu family will no longer pay attention to intelligence matters."
call out! call out! call out!
A few lightning-like figures appeared outside the door in an instant, and as the door was pushed open, the leader, a middle-aged man wearing a black exercise suit and carrying a long knife on his back, glanced around vigilantly for a few seconds. Then he clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Patriarch, what happened?"
Zhu Xinghe stepped out of the room, looked around several times, and then said with a wry smile: "A guest just came."
The complexions of several people changed, revealing a look of shock. The middle-aged man at the head whispered, "Could it be the one from Piaoxue Villa again?"
Zhu Xinghe shook his head and said, "No, it's more terrifying than her."
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and a chill suddenly grew in their hearts. The person from Piaoxue Villa gave them a huge shock more than ten years ago, but they didn't expect that now there would be someone more powerful than her.
