Chapter 278 Deja Vu
Xiong Da left the Shahai City Gate and returned to Qinyue Pass. A sentry had already informed Lang Xiangtian.
Seeing the hanging basket hanging from the city wall, Xiong Da stepped directly into it and let the demon soldiers pull him up to the city wall.
Lang Xiangtian and Lang Wubai were waiting for him on the city wall.
Seeing him come back, Lang Wubai shook his head.
"It's reassuring to take a look at it."
Xiong Da scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said with a silly smile:
"Reassured."
When Xu Zhenfeng brought the Huangjing doll out of the city wall, he saw Lou Qianjiang standing at the entrance of the city road waiting for him with an envious look on his face.
"I really envy the relationship between Brother Xu and Brother Xiong."
Speaking of which, when Lou Qianjiang took refuge in Qinyueguan City, he became sworn brothers with Xiong Da.
But this time when Xiong Da came to Shahai City, he only said a few words to Xu Zhenfeng and then left. This so-called sworn brother only glanced at each other when they were on the city wall.
Xu Zhenfeng smiled and said, "Today is the fourth day. Your two brothers are really patient. We don't have much time left."
Lou Qianjiang said confidently: "Brother Xu, don't worry, they have already started to take action."
After they returned to the courtyard of Lou Qianjiang in the General's Mansion, an attendant came hurriedly to report.
It is said that the second son of the Lou family secretly sent two trusted confidants out of the city back in the middle of the night the day before yesterday.
It’s just that there were two of them when they left, and there were still two of them when they came back.
It looked like he had just gone out for a walk and didn't even bring a package.
After pondering for a while, Lou Qianjiang added a few more guards to his yard.
Xu Zhenfeng looked at him and said, "It seems that your brothers went to ask for foreign aid? Didn't they come back?"
"No, Brother Xu guessed wrong. They should have been invited back, otherwise the two people who were doing the work wouldn't have come back so soon."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded, "So is there going to be a show tonight?"
"It may not be tonight. Let's wait and be prepared."
After Lou Qianjiang finished speaking, he immediately asked the servants to prepare wine and food so that he could eat and drink with Xu Zhenfeng.
Huang Jingwawa really loves drinking. When he heard that Lou Qianjiang had arranged wine and food, he immediately became excited.
Lou Qianjiang glanced towards the garden and suddenly asked in surprise, "Why are all the flowers and trees in the garden dead? Is the gardener so lazy?"
Xu Zhenfeng took a casual look and said, "It's not easy to grow these exotic flowers and plants in the desert."
Huangjing baby snuggled in Xu Zhenfeng's arms, as if he didn't hear what they said.
The little guy held his fingers in his mouth, staring blankly at the gate of the courtyard, wondering when the wine and food would be brought in.
At this meal, Huang Jingwawa drank so much that his face turned red and his eyes were blurry, as expected.
Even though Xu Zhenfeng defended left and right, he couldn't prevent him from finding a gap and picking up the jar of wine and gulping it down into his mouth.
Xu Zhenfeng was so angry that he almost used the family law to punish him. It was only after Lou Qianjiang’s persuasion that Huang Jingwawa was spared from being beaten.
After the banquet, Xu Zhenfeng was a little tipsy, and Lou Qianjiang was so drunk that he had to be helped back to the next yard by the servants.
The Huangjing baby was gurgling in Xu Zhenfeng's arms, and the father and son hugged each other and went back to the house to rest.
After the servants cleaned up the yard, it was getting dark.
Gradually, the yard became extremely quiet.
Only the gurgling sounds of Xu Zhenfeng and Huang Jingwa, one big and one small, could be heard from the main room.
Several guards stood at the gate of the yard, and several more were scattered under the courtyard wall.
After the servants finished cleaning up, they returned to their own rooms, not daring to make any noise to disturb the guests' rest.
The time was getting later and later, and as the moon was high in the sky, it was almost midnight.
At this time, the servants had already fallen asleep, and there was only one guard sitting in front of the main door to prevent the distinguished guest from wanting to drink water or go to the toilet at night.
The guards at the gate and in several corners of the yard also looked a little tired.
Some of the people at the door even sat on the steps, dozing off and on.
At some point, the moonlight was obscured by a floating dark cloud, and the light in the yard suddenly dimmed.
Just as the scene in the yard was getting dark, a black figure suddenly appeared on the top of the pavilion.
The figure appeared suddenly and without any sound, as if it had been standing on the top of the pavilion all along.
The figure stood quietly on the top of the pavilion for a few breaths, like a statue, without a trace of breath emanating from his body.
After a few breaths, the figure suddenly disappeared, and then a shocking explosion was heard from the main house in the yard.
At the same time as the explosion, the doors and windows of the entire main house, as well as the walls, seemed to be pushed outward by a huge force from inside the house, and wood chips and bricks and stones flew out.
At this time, the guards who had reacted rushed towards the main house together, and saw Xu Zhenfeng holding the Huangjing doll and leaping out on the bricks, stones and broken wood on the ground.
In the main room, two black shadows spun together rapidly, with flashes of lightning-like fire appearing from the middle of the shadows from time to time, and sounds that were sometimes dull and sometimes sharp also rang out.
Xu Zhenfeng's entire back was covered in blood. When the figure attacked him, Huang Jingwawa was just about to get up to urinate.
In order to protect him, Xu Zhenfeng suddenly hugged him into his arms and used his back to block the sudden attack from the figure.
Thanks to the Heavenly Saint Lord named Uncle Lu who was in the room, he helped them block most of the attacks at the critical moment.
Otherwise, by now, Xu Zhenfeng and Huang Jingwawa would have been lying on the ground, waiting for the wolves to come and collect their bodies.
Lou Qianjiang, who was drunk, rushed in from the courtyard gate with a dozen guards.
Many guards had already lit lanterns, illuminating the yard.
However, no matter how many candles and lanterns there were, they could not illuminate the dark shadow over the collapsed main house.
Uncle Lu and the figure almost merged into a whole black shadow, if it weren't for the sound of magic weapons colliding from time to time coming from the shadow.
If someone who doesn’t know sees it, they might think it’s some ghost causing trouble and scaring people.
Xu Zhenfeng hugged the Huang Jing doll tightly with lingering fear. If there weren't so many people here, he would have wanted Huang Jing to hide underground.
Lou Qianjiang just glanced at the fight in the main room and then looked at Xu Zhenfeng.
"Brother Xu, are you okay?"
Xu Zhenfeng shook his head, and a guard came up and applied medicine on his torn back.
Huang Jingwa was so scared that he held his urine. At this time, he came to his senses while lying on Xu Zhenfeng's shoulder. Seeing the guard applying medicine to his father, he quickly pushed the guard away.
"Our Huang Jing's father doesn't use your medicine."
Xu Zhenfeng quickly covered his mouth to stop him from saying anything more.
In the main room, Uncle Lu and the figure suddenly separated after a shattering sound.
At this time, everyone saw that the figure was dressed in black, with black gloves, his face covered with black cloth, and only a pair of extremely sinister triangular eyes exposed on his body.
When Xu Zhenfeng saw these eyes, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
But this man was covered with too many things, and he couldn't remember where he had seen these eyes before.
