Chapter 378: Capsized in the gutter

"You are playing with me!" The bearded man raised his hand and swung it towards Chen Guanlou's face.

Chen Guanlou tilted his head—damn, acting needs to be real; is he really going to be slapped tonight?

The slap he expected didn't land.

A second person walked out of the shadows, young, thirty-something, with a light beard, looking gentle and polite. However, Chen Guanlou thought the other party looked more like a gentle scumbag.

"Chen Yucheng is a scholar; don't move your hands and feet."

Chen Guanlou spat, spitting out a mouthful of saliva.

The gentle scumbag sat in front of him and asked, "I believe Chen Yucheng doesn't know Ning Zecheng. However, I still want to ask, have you ever heard of a person called Er Dan?"

"Er Dan?" Chen Guanlou was even more confused.

"Right, Er Dan. That person used to be called Er Dan; does Chen Yucheng have any impression?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head, "Whether it's Ning Zecheng or the Er Dan you mentioned, let alone seeing them, I haven't even heard of them. Tonight is the first time I've heard these two names. You must have found the wrong place and the wrong person.

I took official documents to Suizhou Prefecture to pick up people, and those prisoners are locked in the prison cell; you must have seen them. Besides that, there are the prison guard brothers I brought from the capital, the security firm and guild I hired in Suizhou, and the goods are from the Marquis's residence.

These are all things placed openly on the table, and they can be found with a casual check. I have no one to hide, and I don't have the two people you mentioned. I don't know where you got the news, but I can tell you for sure that the person you are looking for is not here."

The gentle scumbag frowned, his face sinking, looking dark and gloomy. His temperament also changed from gentle to manic, as if he were a bloodthirsty monster that was half-awake and half-asleep.

The gentle scumbag suddenly smiled, a chilling smile, and those white teeth looked like they were about to gnaw on flesh and blood, carrying a bloody smell.

"Chen Yucheng, as a prison guard of the Heavenly Prison, according to my understanding, the Heavenly Prison never goes on outside business, especially business outside the capital, which is all done by the Six Shanmen. Yet this time, Chen Yucheng not only went on a business trip, but a trip a thousand li away, just to escort a few prisoners and a trip of goods—do you believe it? Anyway, I don't."

"I don't believe it either." Chen Guanlou looked directly at the other party, "To tell the truth, my brain is still confused until now. This task of mine, I won't hide it from you good men, was arranged by the Head Manager of the Marquis's residence. As a Chen family member, if the Marquis's residence has an order, do you think I can refuse? Definitely not! Even though I was full of questions, I still had to make this trip.

Before tonight, I couldn't figure it out. Now, I have some guesses. It is very likely that the Marquis's residence used me to set up a trap, creating a diversion. As for the person you are looking for, they are definitely not with me. Perhaps, there is another team of people, rushing fast, and they might be almost at the capital by now."

"They won't go to the capital." The gentle scumbag said definitely, "The Marquis's residence wants to deceive the world and bring the person away; they won't bring them to the capital. That's entering the tiger's mouth."

"But the destination of my task is the capital." Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, "So, you really got it wrong. If you let me go now and leave quietly, everything is still in time. I can treat it as if nothing happened and won't report it to the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"The mere Embroidered Uniform Guard counts as a fart." The bearded man sneered.

Not even putting the Embroidered Uniform Guard in his eyes—surely a fierce Jianghu bandit, bold enough. Surely he hadn't tasted the Embroidered Uniform Guard's methods of abusing prisoners, but if he had heard or tasted it, he wouldn't treat the Embroidered Uniform Guard as a fart.

The gentle scumbag frowned and pondered; he seemed to have taken Chen Guanlou's words to heart—could it really be a diversion?

"You aren't really planning to let him go, are you?" The bearded man asked the gentle scumbag.

The gentle scumbag didn't make a sound.

The bearded man said simply, "Just kill him and give that kid Chen Guanfu a lesson. Since he dares to play with us, even if he doesn't leave the military camp, as long as he leaves the military camp, we must hack him to death."

The gentle scumbag was still thinking.

The bearded man was clearly a martial force, not good at using his brain, and said very irritably, "When did our Wanfeng Mountain ever hesitate to kill someone. I'll hack him to death now."

"Wait, you are from Wanfeng Mountain?" Chen Guanlou was surprised, unexpected, and even more pleasantly surprised.

For the past two years, he had been inquiring about Wanfeng Mountain, but couldn't find anything. It seemed that this sect had never existed in the Jianghu. If the news hadn't come from the She Hu family of the swindler family, he would have doubted the accuracy of the news.

He clearly remembered that Old Master Hu said that Boss Qi came from Wanfeng Mountain, which was a very mysterious sect.

"Why, have you heard of our great name?" The bearded man chuckled coldly, "Too late! Tonight is your death date."

"Do you know a person surnamed Qi? He also comes from Wanfeng Mountain."

"You know Uncle Qi?"

Uncle?

Is the seniority so high?

Summarizing multiple pieces of news, Boss Qi's age shouldn't be too big, not many years different from the few people in front of him, yet he was already of the uncle generation. In this way, Boss Qi had high talent and high martial arts cultivation.

Chen Guanlou was excited.

He was only afraid the enemy wasn't strong enough.

Only strong enough is challenging.

"Don't know, just heard of him. He owes me a few debts, and I haven't been able to find him. Good men, can you introduce me?"

"Dream your spring and autumn dreams." The bearded man's temper was indeed irritable, and as soon as the words fell, the axe slashed towards Chen Guanlou. This time, the gentle scumbag didn't stop him, defaulting to the bearded man's decision. The third person in the shadows didn't move, nor did he make a sound.

The gentle scumbag originally thought he would see a bloody scene, and had already stood up, avoiding blood splashing, so as not to dirty his clothes.

However, when he stood up, there was no shadow on the chair in front of him, and the rope was broken.

Where is the person?

His heart was shocked, his whole person instantly tensed up, and he retreated quickly, throwing countless hidden weapons at the same time.

Bang!

A heavy object fell to the ground, smashing heavily on the ground.

The bearded man's corpse, limbs twisted, lay on the ground, his weapon, the axe, inserted into his head, brain matter splashing.

"Hidden pulse?"

"The point is thorny!"

"Retreat!"

Three sentences were spoken almost at the same time; there was no time to think, no time to recall how all this happened, why an inconspicuous prison guard suddenly turned into a martial arts expert, escaping for his life was the priority. Two figures, one up and one to the backyard—as long as they got out of this room, they could live.

"Want to escape? Did you ask me?"

Chen Guanlou flashed like a ghost.

Bang!

Another heavy object fell to the ground.

The gentle scumbag didn't dare to look back, his feet moving faster and faster. He never expected that after walking in the Jianghu for many years, killing so many experts, and escaping from the siege of the court's heavy troops, he would capsize in the hands of an inconspicuous prison guard today.

"Still not making a move? Are you hoping I die?" The gentle scumbag roared at the outside of the house. At the moment of life and death, calling for help is not shameful.

Suddenly his body stiffened, and a chill spread throughout his body. ===== CHAPTER 379 =====
