The second young master stood on the bow of the boat with a big belly, wearing a purple robe embroidered with green patterns, and a bright silk-faced milky white double-breasted jacket.

The feet of the robe are turned up and tucked into the belt around the waist, and high-top leather boots are worn on the feet.

This outfit belongs to a big butler. He redeemed it from a pawn shop at noon yesterday and gave him 100 taels of pocket money.

With the money, Li Chao gathered thirteen or four gangsters in minutes to accompany him to the Zhao Mansion.

On a cold day, Li Chao still held a folding fan in his hand and looked around on the flower boat, looking around to see what he was looking for.

"Second Young Master, we are here!"

Li Da stood up from behind a big tree and ran to the small pier. Behind him was a small blue and white sedan.

"Isn't this Mr. Li? Why don't you see the butler?"

"The chief steward has been sent by the master to collect rent in the countryside. He asked me to come and serve him. Second Young Master, please get in the sedan chair."

As soon as he heard that his father had asked the butler away, Li Chao immediately fainted.

At this time, the sedan chair could not reach the plank road that was wide enough for one person, so Li Chao had no choice but to step forward.

It may be that the plank road at the small pier has not been used for a long time and is very slippery. The second young master even fell down after spending a long time to be careful.

The second young master, who was as fat as a ball, stepped onto the sedan, cursed in his mouth, kicked the young sedan bearer at the door of the sedan, and angrily got on the sedan with the delicate little beauty Bai Mudan in his arms.

The young bearer with a bit of a bad temper watched the second young master carrying the little beauty into the sedan chair. He looked at the little beauty twice and then suppressed his anger and started the sedan chair without even taking a few steps.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the sedan bearer missed the mark on the muddy road.

Then he deliberately slipped his foot, and with quick eyes and quick hands, Li Da, who was standing beside the blue and white sedan, grabbed the young sedan bearer and said in a low voice:

"Be careful! Don't ruin the incense master's plan!"

The hot-tempered second master of Heishui Village clung to the sedan rail with his hand, turned around, and took a vicious look inside the sedan.

It's as if he wants to eat the second son Li Chao through a curtain door.

Then he suppressed his anger, picked up the sedan and continued walking.

Li Chao, the second young master sitting in the sedan, opened the curtains and looked outside. There were mud puddles all the way. The farther north you go, the harder the path becomes.

Walking further inside, you will reach a hill. The hills are not high, but there are many trees. In early winter, the leaves have fallen off.

The sky in the north will change if it changes.

There was fog on the canal in the morning, and the sun came out. Li Chao got off the boat and the fog disappeared, but the sun hid in the clouds again.

The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it’s going to rain.

It’s very uncomfortable to be rained on in early winter.

Li Chao, who was sitting in the sedan, opened the curtains and looked at the sky outside, and said to Li Da, who was following the sedan:

"It's going to rain. Hurry up and go to Zhao Mansion. Be careful, don't let the Evil Tiger Gang ambush you!"

There is a Tu Tu Temple on this small hill. Liu Tongxun, the dog-headed strategist of the Evil Tiger Gang, summoned 20 gangsters to ambush in the woods of the Tu Tu Temple.

Liu Tongxun's two followers were both from the Guards School. One was tall and the other was short. They were holding jujube sticks as thick as goose eggs and placed them under a huge stone directly in front of them.

The taller Liu Wei said in a low voice: "It's been so long, they won't be able to come over, right? Do they have to take a long way around!"

The short one named Wang Wei replied: "No, it's going to rain. With your fat pig character, you will definitely take the shortest road.

According to the time Master Xun said, they should be arriving soon."

Liu Wei whispered: "Did that fat man take the girl from Wanhua Tower with him, so he walked so slowly!"

Wang Wei took a withered dogtail grass and put it in his mouth, chewed it and replied vaguely:

"It's hard to say, maybe you guessed it right, but this time I want to give the fat man a good beating. Mr. Xun said that after it is done, please help Brother Li go to Wanhua Tower to have fun!"

Liu Wei said with a smile: "Wanhua Tower! I have never been there since Mr. Xiong has been mourning for three years. This time I will definitely crush the fat man and strive to get first-class merit."

Wang Wei spit out the dog's tail grass and said with a smile:

"I have been there twice. I think Qing'er from Wanhualou is pretty good. With that figure, I would be willing to die just lying in her arms."

"Pull me down! You dare to touch the maid of Bai Mudan, the oiran, and you really don't want to live anymore!"

At this moment, Liu Tongxun's cat waist came over and said to them: "The brothers in front have given a signal. They are rushing towards the Tutu Temple. Get ready."

Wang Wei hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Liu Tongxun and whispered in Liu Tongxun's ear: "What if they don't enter the Earth Temple? Go directly to the post road, and we will be useless if we guard the mechanism!"

Liu Tongxun nodded. He could guess that this rolling stone mechanism would be able to block the temple door and divide their people.

Then he entered the Earth Temple from the tunnel without anyone noticing, catching Li Chao off guard.

"How many are there?" Liu Wei asked.

"Including 4 sedan bearers, there are 16 people in total."

The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, the sky is getting a little dark, and drizzle is falling in the sky.

The cold rain falling on the body is really uncomfortable.

Li Chao's dozen or so people, with two people in front using wooden sticks to clear the way, four people in the middle carrying sedans, and nine gangsters with various weapons behind them.

They followed the sedan one by one, making it look like a mess.

Li Chao smelled the smell of burning incense in the sedan chair. Bai Mudan, who was sitting on him, opened the door curtain and looked at the Earth Temple of Zhao Mansion. At a glance, he knew that someone had been burning incense to pray for blessings.

The Earth Temple has appeared in front of you

If it weren't for the flagpole erected behind the Earth Temple, it would be like the Earth Temple transformed by Sun Wukong, with its tail erected behind the temple.

Li Da and others stopped in front of the Earth Temple. The two leading men kicked open the temple door and looked inside with a stern look. It was quiet inside.

The two of them bravely stepped into the temple gate.

After a while, one of them came out and reported to the second young master in the sedan:

"Second Young Master, there is no one inside. How about we go in and take shelter from the rain, make a fire, grill pans and put on clothes? What do you think?"

Li Chao was dozing off when Bai Mudan, who was sitting on him, said: "The second young master said, go in!"

Four bearers carried the sedan to the door. Li Chao got off the sedan with the help of Bai Mudan. Just as he was about to walk in, he heard a dull rolling sound from behind, getting closer and closer.

When he turned around, he saw a huge stone rolling down the hillside not far away and rushing straight towards the temple gate.

His scalp was so frightened that his scalp was numb. He stood there motionless, but Bai Mudan hurriedly pulled him to dodge inside the temple door.

In just a moment, there was a "rumbling, booming" sound, and the huge stone blocked the temple door. The earth temple was also strong, and it actually shook several times without collapsing.

A group of gangsters outside the Earth Temple dispersed when the boulder fell and hid far away, watching as the boulder sealed the entrance to the temple.
