Detective Di Renjie: The Mysterious Dynasty

Chapter 386: A fierce battle is brewing

In Wohu Manor, Ge Tianba and Yun Gu solemnly welcomed Hu Yun of the Tietou Group and the ten hall masters under his command.

In order to show off his power and status as the owner of Crouching Tiger Manor, he prepared a grand banquet to entertain the guests.

However, with Yuan Qi's knife hanging over their heads, Hu Yun and Yun Gu had no interest in enjoying the banquet and even turned it down.

This undoubtedly made Ge Tianba lose face and feel extremely embarrassed.

What made Ge Tianba even more furious was that Hu Yun had secretly conspired with Yun Gu and the ten hall masters to do something big, completely excluding the people from Wohu Village.

Not only did his own daughter not help him, but she turned against him and helped the people from the Iron Hand Group.

Even Hu Yun and his group of more than ten people did not say a few words to the owner of the manor, and only left the Iron Hand Group's men to deal with him.

This was an absolutely unbearable humiliation for Ge Tianba, who always thought highly of himself.

However, this is really a great injustice to Hu Yun and his group.

Even though the Iron Hand Group did not think highly of Crouching Tiger Village, they would not be so disrespectful to Junior Sister and ignore her father.

After all, Sect Leader Yuan Qi had strict orders, so Hu Yun and the others didn't have much time to waste.

If anyone is to blame, we can only blame the people in Wohu Village for being useless and unable to help!

But Ge Tianba obviously couldn't understand Hu Yun's difficulties. Since the afternoon, his face had been gloomy, as if an active volcano would erupt at any time.

The old brothers knew the temper of their eldest brother and did not dare to persuade him, so they let him sulk alone.

There was also Deng Tong, a man with high expectations but poor skills, who was also very dissatisfied with the Iron Hand Group's contempt for him.

Deng Tong sat aside, finally unable to suppress his inner anger: "Master, these guys are too arrogant! I must fight them with real swords and guns!"

As he said that, he stood up suddenly, turned around and was about to go find Hu Yun to argue.

Seeing this, Ge Tianba also stood up suddenly and stopped Deng Tong with an angry shout: "Stop!"

Deng Tong turned around and looked at Ge Tianba in disbelief, with resentment and anger on his face: "Master, are we just going to let them insult us like this and remain indifferent?"

Ge Tianba's eyes flashed coldly, and he motioned Deng Tong to sit back down: "I told you to sit back down!"

Although Ge Tianba was vain and eager for power, he was not a pure reckless man. He knew how powerful the Iron Hand Group was. He would not dare to offend the Iron Hand Group unless it was absolutely necessary.

Deng Tong saw the owner of the manor was so cowardly that he stamped his feet in anger: "Alas!"

But Ge Tianba still had the final say in Wohu Manor. He did not dare to disobey the order of the manor owner. After performing some gestures, he sat back obediently.

Hu Yun, Yun Gu and others in the guest room of Wohu Manor had no interest in these second-rate characters in the manor. They were plotting how to deal with Hu Jinghui.

Hu Yun expressed doubts about Hu Jinghui's strength: "Junior Sister, who on earth is it that requires so many of us to go out together?"

Yun Gu took a deep breath, with a lingering fear in her eyes: "This person is only second to the sect master, and I'm afraid he is even better than the eldest brother!"

"He acted decisively, his moves were simple and sharp, and he never dragged his feet. Did you know? He killed Senior Brother Lu with just one move, and Senior Brother Lu didn't even have time to dodge!"

Yun Gu continued, "It can be seen that this man has killed many people. The Iron Hand Group is full of famous killers, but the murderous aura on our bodies is probably not even a fraction of his." "In terms of martial arts alone, only the Sect Master can definitely beat him. But the Sect Master cannot act rashly, and I have no choice but to ask ten brothers to take action together!"

As soon as Yun Gu finished speaking, the eleven hall masters of Tie Shou were immediately in an uproar and expressed their dissatisfaction.

After all, Yun Gu's words really boosted other people's morale and destroyed her own prestige.

Hu Yun was also stunned. He frowned and said, "Junior Sister, aren't you exaggerating too much?"

Xiong Sha said in a hoarse voice, with a bit of disdain: "Junior sister, since he killed Lu Lan, he must be quite capable. But everyone in my Iron Hand Group is a top killer and has completed countless difficult tasks. You said he can beat us in killing? This is impossible!"

Upon hearing this, all the killers echoed: "That's right! That's right!"

Yun Gu showed helplessness, shook her head gently, and said sincerely: "My fellow brothers, everything I said is true and absolutely not false. After you fight him, you will understand that what I said is true!"

"I explained this matter in advance only to remind all the brothers so that they can be prepared and avoid underestimating the enemy and suffering losses."

However, the hall masters still shook their heads after hearing this, obviously still finding it difficult to accept.

Hu Yun remained calm. He opened his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

His voice was full of calmness: "Little Junior Sister, you have good intentions after all. The Sect Master always says, be lenient when you estimate the enemy! It is always better to think that the enemy is more serious than to underestimate them!"

As the descendant of Long Feng and the second in command of the Iron Hand Group, Hu Yun enjoys great prestige among the hall masters.

Although the hall masters below may not completely agree with his views, they no longer whispered to each other.

So, Hu Yun turned to look at Yun Gu and asked, "Junior Sister, you are the only one who knows this person best. Tell me, what should we do?"

Yun Gu lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment, and replied: "Although this man is powerful, he is not without weaknesses. The reason why we are fighting him is because he saved a group of civilians from the hands of the soldiers."

"So the Yangzhou Governor's Office asked the Iron Hand Group to help get rid of him. It was also because of my incompetence that I failed to complete the task, but if I had the help of all the senior brothers, I might not have no chance!"

Hu Yun immediately understood what Yun Gu meant. A cruel smile appeared on his lips. "Oh, so you are a 'hero' who is kind and protective of the people? It will be much easier to deal with such a person."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall masters below couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yun Gu also smiled and nodded: "I have sent people to inquire. He has gathered the people nearby in Shanggou Village, 40 miles away from Wohu Village!"

When Xiong Sha heard this, he immediately urged impatiently: "What are we waiting for? Let's set off now and kill this hero as soon as possible so that we can go back and report to the sect leader!"

Upon hearing this, the killers all agreed and their morale was high.

Aunt Yun smiled slightly, confident: "Don't worry, fellow brothers, I have already made all the preparations and can set off at any time!"
-
However, Hu Jinghui was not in Shanggou Village at this time.

Because Fang Jiu and others were going to Yangzhou to file a complaint, Hu Jinghui prepared to write a letter to Zhao Ji. However, in such a dilapidated village, where could he find writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone?

So Hu Jinghui took them to the town to write a letter, buy some dry food for the journey, and send them off as well.

The nearest town within dozens of miles is Wohu Town.
