After half an hour, Hai Qingshan rode back with a gloomy face.
Chu Li glanced at him.
Hai Qingshan came to the side of the carriage and whispered, "Lady, the Ren Public House really has their eyes on us!"
Guo Mulin asked, "Young Hai, how did you find out?"
Hai Qingshan smiled, "I pretended to be from the Ren Public House and found out!"
"Look at you, you're quite honest but you're quite smart!" Guo Mulin scoffed.
Hai Qingshan scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly. This was not because he was smart but because he learned from others.
"Ignore them." Siao Shi's gentle voice was heard.
Hai Qingshan quickly said, "They will definitely harm you, Lady!"
"With the six High Officials here, we don't have to worry about them."
"I'm just afraid that they came prepared." Hai Qingshan quickly said, "What if they also send Grandmasters?"
"I know, go." Siao Shi's gentle voice was soft but Hai Qingshan could not refute her.
He shook his head and sighed as he looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li whispered, "Can the Public House send more masters?"
"Grandmasters are impossible." Hai Qingshan shook his head.
There were only eight Grandmasters in the Public House. Sending out six of them was already an overkill. The remaining two must not be touched. The Public House was the foundation. There were so many Spirit Medicine, and there was also the Eldest Master and the Third Lady. If all eight Grandmasters were to be sent out, it would be unthinkable for someone to take advantage of the situation.
If it was not for Second Lady Xiao Tieying's high position, it would be impossible to send six Grandmasters. Usually, when Master Xiao Tieying and Lady Xiao Tieying went out, they would only send four.
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
It was risky to have two Grandmasters guarding the Public House. The people of the martial arts world saw the Public House as a threat. If there was a chance to destroy the Public House, they would not let it go.
In the current situation, the best way was not to send reinforcements but to besiege the besieged or to mobilize the masters of the Ren Public House. Once they were mobilized, they must be accompanied by Grandmasters. This would undoubtedly weaken the power of the ambush.
As such thoughts flashed through his mind, he hesitated to say it.
Second Lady Xiao Tieying hated smart people. If he said it, he would definitely be suspected of showing off.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "Lady Xiao Tieying, I have something to say."
"Speak." Siao Shi's gentle voice was heard.
Chu Li said, "We have to transfer their Grandmasters away."
"What a joke!" Mulin scoffed. "Do you think the Grandmasters will listen to you?"
Chu Li did not seem to hear what he said. He calmly said, "Write a letter and ask Master Xiao Tieying to find a way to mobilize a few masters from the Ren Public House. The Grandmasters will definitely accompany them."
"That's easy for you to say. How can they be manipulated by an outsider?" Mulin mocked without holding back.
Chu Li's expression did not change as he said, "Master Xiao Tieying should have a way."
"That's a great idea." Xiao Shi chuckled. "But it won't be easy. They're not fools."
Chu Li smiled.
There were many ways to make them leave the mansion. If one plan did not work, then another. He did not believe that they would be able to stay in the mansion. It was a pity that he did not have any power, so he could only sigh helplessly. There was no point in saying more, and it would only make them feel disgusted.
"That's just a bunch of useless nonsense. What other ideas do you have?" Mulin scoffed.
Chu Li said, "If it really doesn't work, Lady Xiao will leave with us."
"You mean, you're out in the open, and I'll sneak away so that you can attract their attention?"
Chu Li replied, "Yes! … If we can't win, we'll just run. "
With Xiao Shi there, he could not run even if he wanted to.
"Below the Grandmaster, I'm afraid that you won't be able to run even if you want to …" Xiao Shi said lightly, "I understand."
Chu Li tactfully kept his mouth shut.
—
Mulin said in a low voice, "This young man's idea is not bad. It's better if we split up."
"Elder Mulin, we can't." Xiao Shi shook her head lightly.
Mulin said impatiently, "Once we start fighting, you'll be a burden to them. You can't run even if you want to!"
"Why would I be afraid of these evil tricks!" Xiao Shi said calmly but firmly, "What has the House of High Dukes become?"
"You …" Mulin shook his head helplessly. "With that temper of yours, you'll suffer in the end. A man should know when to yield and when to stand tall. You're a woman, why do you care so much? Saving your own life is the most important thing!"
Xiao Shi said, "I'd like to see what the Ren Public House is going to do!"
"They'll kill you." Mulin scoffed. "Master Xiao Tieying will definitely go crazy. The House of High Dukes will be finished!"
"Elder Mulin!" Xiao Shi glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Mulin pursed his lips and scoffed. "Do you think I'm just scaring you? Think about it. If you die, will Master Xiao Tieying go crazy? "
"Don't worry. Elder Brother is wise under the guise of stupidity. He'll be able to calm down during crucial moments." Xiao Shi said.
"You stubborn girl. You're so infuriating!" Mulin stood up angrily. He lifted the curtains and left.
When he reached the outer cabin, the six Grandmasters looked at him and shook their heads helplessly.
Mulin snorted and sat down on the chair.
He could not persuade this stubborn Second Lady. The worst thing was that she was not afraid of death. She felt that life was boring. She was sick and weak. Living was torture.
When faced with this kind of person, no amount of persuasion would help.
Chu Li turned left and drove for fifty miles. He entered the North Defense Town in the evening.
Although the North Defense Town was small, it was very lively. It was located beside the main road. It was inevitable that people would come here for a stroll, a meal, or to spend the night. This made the small town bustling.
Hai Qingshan had already rented a house in advance. He did not stay in an inn.
It was a house with two entrances. After settling down, Hai Qingshan busied himself with the work of a Scribe. He was neat and tidy. It was obvious that he was familiar with the job.
Chu Li could not help much. He went out to buy things according to the list that Mulin had written down.
He ran around and brought back the vegetables and meat. Mulin personally cooked. Soon, two tables of dishes were ready. One table was full of color, smell, and taste. There were a lot of meat dishes, and the other table was light.
Xiao Shi and Mulin ate the light food.
Chu Li and the others ate in the main hall. Xiao Shi and Mulin were in the study room next to it.
The eight of them were eating to their heart's content. An old man suddenly frowned. The six of them looked at each other. The old man put down his chopsticks and floated out.
"Peng peng" sounds rang out incessantly.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror. He saw that the old man named Zhao Qingshan floated up to the wall. He pushed his palm out. A man fell from a tree branch twenty feet away. The man rolled on the ground and jumped up. He turned around and ran.
Zhao Qingshan threw a punch. The middle-aged man who jumped thirty feet away flew out and hit the wall. He closed his eyes and fainted.
Zhao Qingshan floated over and picked him up.
The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes. A cold light shot out from his sleeve towards Zhao Qingshan.
Zhao Qingshan chuckled and shook his body slightly.
The blue dagger stopped halfway and fell to the ground with a "ding". The middle-aged man was shaken by Zhao Qingshan. He could not exert any strength. He was paralyzed.
Zhao Qingshan carried him back to the main hall. He threw the middle-aged man on the ground and sat down to continue eating.
Chu Li stared at the middle-aged man and looked at the scene in his mind.
Hai Qingshan put down his chopsticks and walked towards the middle-aged man. He asked, "Ren Public House?"
The middle-aged man closed his eyes. The only part of his body that could move was his eyes.
Zhao Qingshan said, "Qingshan, be careful. This guy is very cunning. Don't be fooled."
Hai Qingshan nodded. He stared at the middle-aged man's eyes and said, "How many of you are here?"
"Where do you plan to set up an ambush?"
"If you don't speak, don't blame me for being rude. Under torture, you will have to speak even if you don't want to!"
Hai Qingshan saw that the middle-aged man did not speak. He patted him three times.
