Chapter 458: 59
341 After hearing this, a guard said, "What's wrong with the White Tiger Hall? It's just a dog raised by our Mulan people. If you beat Lord Tara today, you must pay the price!"
"superior!"
After that, a group of gray-clad guards rushed up, but at this moment, there was a sudden roar: "Who dares to touch my sister-in-law!"
The next moment, with a snap, a man jumped over from a distance, and then with a click, he broke the neck of a man in gray.
If it's not Xiaohu, then who else could it be?
Xiaohu doesn't care whether you are from Mulan or who you are, if you dare to touch my sister-in-law, you are seeking death.
Xiaohu attacked ruthlessly and soon injured most of the gray-clothed guards. You should know that among these gray-clothed guards, at most two were at the Liujin realm, and there was not even the Tiegu realm, while Xiaohu was at the Huajin realm. It was easy and pleasant for a Huajin master to beat a Liujin realm guard.
Xiaohu was so excited about killing that he scared the men in gray so much that they quickly retreated. They just wanted to have a better life and be dogs for the Mulan people, but they didn't want to risk their lives!
So after Xiaohu killed five of them, they were all scared.
Xiaohu didn't care about all this. With his eyes full of killing intent, he aimed directly at the herdsman Tara. You want to bully my sister-in-law, right? Die!
Xiaohu slapped Tara directly, and this slap was obviously intended to kill her.
What Mulan people, a noble race, are nothing. Anyone who dares to set his sights on my sister-in-law shall die!
At this time, Tara saw a ruthless man suddenly rushing up, killing two people without saying anything. He was so scared that his legs became numb. He wanted to hide quickly, but Xiaohu's energy was so strong that he couldn't hide.
Then he saw the palm coming straight towards his chest.
"How dare you, untouchable!"
Tara's eyes were bloodshot, he screamed, his face turned pale, but at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Tara.
[Bone-splitting hand]
Snap…
The man exchanged palm strikes with Xiaohu, and then Xiaohu stepped back two steps before standing still. Just as he was about to attack again, he suddenly stopped, because the person who came to kill him was none other than Wu Hong!
Brother Hong? ! !
Xiaohu's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect Wu Hong to come and stop him.
They are all good brothers.
Wu Hong frowned and said, "Who dares to cause trouble here? Why don't you leave immediately?"
Chen Xiaohu looked at Wu Hong with a dark face when he heard that. He had never thought that Wu Hong would be a scum who betrayed the nation, but today he felt that Wu Hong was a lackey.
"Why would you protect such a scumbag?"
Xiaohu pointed at Tara who was hiding behind Wu Hong with a dark face.
Wu Hong said: "Today is the temple fair, and the government office has received an order to protect the place. Chen Xiaohu, it's almost done, you can leave now."
Xiao Hu said, "Wu Hong, are you really going to stop me for such a scumbag?"
Wu Hong said: "This is Mulanren."
Xiao Hu said: "I don't care who he is, if he wants to die, I will help him!"
Hearing this, Wu Hong frowned. He stopped Chen Xiaohu because the Mulan people could not be harmed. Mulan people, what were they? They were the nobles of Mianshui County. If anything happened to any Mulan person, it would alarm the Darughachi Mansion, and then things would become complicated.
Even though Xiaohu is a master of Hua Jin, he cannot escape if the Darughachi Mansion wants to arrest him.
But as long as the Mulan people are not harmed and a few gray-clothed lackeys are killed, no one will care, especially since Xiaohu is from the White Tiger Hall and is Chen Jie's subordinate, and the Darughachi Mansion will not go too far.
But if Tara died today, things would become complicated.
I'm afraid Chen Jiusi would not dare to kill the Mulan people under the pressure from the Darughachi Mansion!
Therefore Wu Hong took action to stop it.
Xiao Hu was furious at this time, and looked at Wu Hong and said: "Today I must seek justice for my sister-in-law. Either he apologizes today, or I kill him!"
Xiaohu said angrily. Su Yunjin also reacted at this time and said to Xiaohu: "Huzi, it's enough."
Xiao Hu said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Jiu Si asked me to take good care of you. If he didn't, that's my fault. He must give an explanation today."
"It's ok, Huzi, he, he is from Mulan."
"If Mulan has more hammers, I will make him admit his mistake."
Xiao Hu stepped forward and said, "Wu Hong, get out of my way."
Seeing this, Wu Hong said with a dark face: "Chen Xiaohu, don't cause trouble."
Snap…
After another fight, Wu Hong once again pushed Chen Xiaohu back. Chen Xiaohu was furious and said, "Wu Hong, do you really want to be a dog for this Mulan man?"
Tara also came back to her senses from the shock just now. Seeing that Wu Hong was much more powerful than Chen Xiaohu, and was also a man from the government, she suddenly became arrogant.
"You, the people from the government, listen carefully. As a noble of Mulan, I order you to arrest this lunatic and that young lady. Don't worry, I know your county magistrate Tang Wannian. I will ask him to promote you when I go back!"
"Haha, it's all right this time, Wu Hong. Your master asked you to help catch someone. Hurry up and capture me and my sister-in-law to report to your master. I'm really ashamed for Master Bai. How could he have a grandson like you!"
Xiaohu was really angry and scolded Wu Hong at this time.
Wu Hong said nothing, but just said: "Xiao Hu, no matter what you say today, I will accept it, but you can't hurt him today!"
"You! Good, good!"
Xiao Hu laughed angrily and said, "I must kill him today!"
As he said that, Xiaohu directly slapped out two water-controlling palms, and Wu Hong blocked them with his hands, and the bone-breaking hand was only used for defense.
Just when the two were fighting, a voice suddenly rang out: "Two grown men are fussy, if you don't let me kill you, I'll do it."
brush!
Suddenly, there was a flash of sword light, followed by a figure passing directly in front of Tara, and disappeared on the spot the next moment. Seeing this scene, Wu Hong immediately turned his head.
Then Tara's eyes were wide open, with an expression that looked like he didn't know what was going on. Then his neck began to bleed, and he fell to the ground with a bang, deader than dead.
One sword to the throat!
Wu Hong was furious when he saw this: "Stop!"
He chased after them, leaving Xiaohu behind. When Xiaohu saw this scene, especially Tara lying on the ground, his face darkened and he spat, "Bah, you got it for free!"
The people around were shocked when they saw this: "Ah~ Someone is dead!"
A roar was heard, followed by countless people fleeing in panic. Xiao Hu looked at Su Yunjin at this time, and Su Yunjin said, "Let's go too."
After hearing this, Xiaohu said, "Well, sister-in-law, please."
When the gray-clad guards saw that their master was dead and Xiaohu and the others were about to leave, they immediately wanted to stop them, but when Xiaohu turned around and gave them a look, they all became scared and didn't dare to say a word.
Xiaohu snorted coldly and turned away.
…
By the time Chen Jie found them, it was already evening. When Chen Jie came out, he heard people talking about this incident.
He hurried back and asked his wife if she was okay. Su Yunjin said, "My husband, I'm fine. It's just that a Mulan man died today. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "It's okay, as long as my wife is okay, as for the rest, my husband will find a way."
At this time, Xiaohu also understood after Su Yunjin's explanation that he had done something wrong today.
In fact, he was not very afraid of killing a Mulan man. Maybe it was because he was ignorant and fearless, or maybe it was because he was skilled and courageous. He could just use his Hua Jin to escape. How could he have no chance of survival?
But Su Yunjin said: This may affect my husband's plan.
Xiaohu immediately knew that he was wrong. It didn't matter what happened to him, but it would be a bad idea if it affected Jiu Si's brother's grand plan. His loyalty to Chen Jie surpassed that to himself.
In fact, it is understandable. Xiaohu was forced to be promoted step by step by Chen Jie. Chen Xiaohu felt that he could never repay his father for his kindness and brotherhood in this life. In addition, his father's advice also told Chen Xiaohu subtly that he must never do anything to let down his brother Jiu Si.
If one day Chen Jie is really abandoned by his friends and relatives, there may be only two people who will never really leave him, one is his wife, and the other is Chen Xiaohu.
This is the most loyal confidant.
Xiao Hu apologized to Chen Jie, but Chen Jie did not blame him for causing trouble for him. He just smiled and said, "It's okay. He's just a Mulan person. It's not a big deal."
"But Huzi, you should change your temper. When you see Brother Hong again, apologize to him."
Chen Xiaohu said: "Well, I understand."
Xiaohu said humbly. Chen Jie looked at Xiaohu and said, "Okay, don't be so sad. By the way, if there are people causing trouble at the government office these two days, don't get into conflict with them. Do you hear me?"
Xiaohu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiusi, what do you mean?"
Chen Jie said: "A Mulan man died, so the matter cannot be let go like this, but it doesn't matter. I am very useful to Darughachi now. At most, he can lift me up high and put me down gently."
"Just remember this. Don't be impulsive in any matter. If the government comes to arrest you, don't resist. I will take care of the rest."
Chen Jie looked at Chen Xiaohu, and Xiaohu said, "Well, I understand."
Chen Jie nodded and said, "Let's go and have a meal. We've been busy all night and haven't had anything hot to eat yet."
After saying this.
The two went to eat. Chen Jie approved of Xiaohu's approach. As for the trouble he brought to him, Chen Jie didn't care too much. He had indeed gone a little too far recently. Darughachi probably had opinions on many things. This time, he probably took this opportunity to give him a lesson.
This is a chance for Chen Jie to give the Darughaci Palace some leverage to attack him. If he admits his mistake and expresses his obedience to Darughaci's arrangements, then everything will be fine.
And this time it wasn't Xiaohu who killed the Mulan people, so there was no problem at all.
So he wasn't too worried.
Chen Jie and Xiaohu had a sumptuous dinner and chatted about some things in the hall. By the way, they mentioned Uncle Erba. Uncle Erba is now in better health. Uncle Erba was not very old, not even forty years old. The reason why he looked old was because of the burden of life.
Now he has no pressure in life at all. Xiaohu's monthly salary in Baihu Hall is as high as one hundred taels, which is enough to buy a small house in the city.
In addition, there was some gray income, which Chen Jie gave to him intentionally, but Xiaohu didn't know whether he was confused or what, he didn't take a penny and gave all the money to Chen Jie, and asked Chen Jie to fill in some purchasing loopholes.
Doesn't Chen Jie know that there are some loopholes in this regard?
He knew it, and the reason he didn't patch it up was to leave a hole on purpose so that the people below could make some money.
It's a pity that Xiaohu is a dullard, but Chen Jie still often rewards Xiaohu.
He was also prepared to give Uncle Erba and his people a job where they could enjoy a comfortable life, but Uncle Erba was reluctant to leave his hometown and was unwilling to leave Xiantao Village. Chen Jie was helpless and could only let it go.
Chen Jie was grateful to his uncle Erba's family. If it hadn't been for their care, life would have been very difficult for him and Yun Jin. Chen Jie was a grateful person, and he would remember anyone who had helped him.
After the meal, the two returned to their respective residences and remained silent all night.
The next day, Chen Jie had just woken up and was washing his face with Cui Ju's help when he saw Si Xi rushing in, looking anxious and saying, "Master, Master, something terrible has happened,
