Zhang Fei did not ask why Lu Fei was looking for a carriage. All in all, his elder brother was right. He immediately sent someone to do it, and Lu Fei took his men back to the city to take a rest.
Guo Si was a notorious villain. When the others heard that his manor had caught fire, not a single one of them went to help put out the fire. The fire burned for two days and two nights before it was extinguished. On the night of the second day, Lu Fei led his men out of the forest outside the manor. At this time, Guo Si's manor had already been reduced to a pile of rubble. Wisps of smoke were rising from the top of the rubble. When they got closer, they could still feel the heat from the remaining fire. Lu Fei stepped on the fire and opened up a path. He walked straight to the side of a well and said, "Everyone, be careful. There's still a fire under the rubble that hasn't been extinguished. Let's first draw some water to extinguish the fire in this house."
The ruins were exactly where Guo Si had told him about the treasure. There was a basement under the ruins. However, the ashes were still red after the fire. If the ruins were dug out rashly, those who were not strong enough would definitely be scalded.
Everybody poured water on the place, only to see that thick smoke was popping up from below, accompanied by sizzling noises. After a while, when the water stopped, Lu Fei said to Dian Wei, "Er 'Lai, clear the ruins on this side."
Dian Wei immediately stepped forward and waved his halberds to dig out the ruins, revealing the blackened bricks below. Lu Fei said, "Guo Si said that his treasures were hidden down here." After saying that, Lu Fei stepped on a large piece of green brick on the ground and broke it into pieces. After pushing aside the broken pieces, Lu Fei saw a large iron door. Lu Fei reached out and lifted the iron door, revealing a dark hole underneath. Lu Fei threw a broken brick into the hole. After a few cracking sounds, the broken brick fell still in the tunnel. Lu Fei immediately walked down the stairs and said, "The rest of you, follow me. Some of you stay up here to keep watch."
Dian Wei said, "Let me have a try."
After saying that, he retreated a few steps. Suddenly, his whole body rushed towards the iron gate. Everyone only heard a "bang" sound. Suddenly, a dent appeared on the iron gate. However, the iron gate was thick and heavy. Unexpectedly, it didn't break.
Everybody gasped hard. They had all heard that Dian Wei had been practicing a very powerful martial art named "Iron Skin", but they didn't know that it was so powerful. They were shocked and wondered if he would have been killed if he had run into someone else. They all thought that they would never mess with the reckless man in the future.
Seeing that Dian Wei failed to break the iron door, Lu Fei said, "This iron door is not only thick but also very tough. Er 'Er' Lai, try it with your Mountain Pushing Palm." As a matter of fact, he could've opened the iron door with one palm, but he wanted to give Dian Wei a chance to establish his prestige in front of everybody, so he planned to let Dian Wei open the iron door alone.
Dian Wei instantly squatted and pushed out his palms. Seeing that the palms seemed slow but were actually very fast, Lu Fei knew that it was a phenomenon that only happened when the palms were steady. It seemed that Dian Wei had made great achievements in the Mountain Pushing Palm. Lu Fei secretly nodded his head, thinking that Dian Wei was born with great strength and had a natural advantage in such a fierce palm technique. He couldn't have been more suitable.
Everybody felt that a gust of wind was blowing in the room. Dian Wei's palm hit the iron gate, and after a boom, the gate was blown away and fell to the ground after flying several meters away. It was dark inside. Lu Fei walked forward and lit the torches on the wall. Any inner force expert would be able to see the situation in the darkness clearly with the help of a weak light.
After Lu Fei lit the torches, the inside of the room was immediately revealed. The room was dazzled by gold and treasures everywhere. Everybody was stunned. Lu Fei, however, was used to it. He said, "It's almost dawn. Let's move everything out now." Everybody hurried to carry the treasures up. Lu Fei, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei followed closely behind. They were so strong that they each carried a box of treasures as if they were walking on flat ground. With their help, all the treasures in the basement were moved away. Zhang Fei cursed, "Guo Si, you son of a b * tch! You must've looted a lot of people's wealth. I'm so tired that I'm about to vomit blood."
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Lu Fei said, "Let's return to Fufeng County immediately. The soldiers may come to check."
Soon after they left, the soldiers did arrive, but the treasures had all been moved away by Lu Fei and his men. Not a single coin was left.
Lu Fei and the others carried the gold, silver, and treasures back to Ma Teng's residence. This time, they returned with a full load, and it could be said that this trip was not in vain. Lu Fei walked into Ma Teng's house, only to see that Ma Teng's wife and Ma Shoucheng were talking and laughing in front of him. Lu Fei approached him and asked, "How do you feel today, Brother Shoucheng?" Ma Teng said, "Thanks to Mr. Lu's marvelous medicine, I feel much better now. It doesn't hurt as much as yesterday. How's Guo Si doing? "
Lu Fei said, "I've already beaten Guo Si into an idiot. He can only be a lunatic for the rest of his life. He won't be able to stir up any more trouble. At the same time, I've also plundered his treasures. I'll leave them here and give them to Big Brother Ma Teng as business expenses."
Ma Teng hurriedly said, "How can I accept this? I'm sure Mr. Lu's house needs it as well."
Lu Fei waved his hand and said, "It's just a small amount of money. Brother Shoucheng, don't worry about it. You've suffered such heavy injuries for the sake of the Lu family's business. Just take this as compensation."
Ma Teng declined a few more times, but in the end, he could only agree. Lu Fei said, "Ma Teng's security is relatively weak. I'll send more men over another day to ensure Brother Shoucheng's safety."
Ma Teng said, "I was just careless this time. In the future, no one will succeed so easily. I've already sent men to Yongzhou to invite my brother Pound. As long as he's here to help me, I won't fear anyone in Liangzhou. "
Lu Fei's heart trembled when he heard Pound's name. He said, "I've also heard of Pound's great name. He's a man. With him here, I can rest assured. Then I'll leave this place to Brother Shoucheng."
Ma Teng was secretly grateful. He thought that normal people would have their trusted aides by their side. Yet, Lu Fei had left so many matters in Liangzhou to him. It was clear that he trusted him. He immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I'll definitely manage Liangzhou's business well for you."
