The clatter of horse hooves echoed in the county seat of Jiangbei County, and passers-by gave way to the carriage.
At the front of the carriage, sat a handsome young man and a white-haired old man holding a riding crop. The old man held the reins and asked the horse pulling the carriage to slow down as much as possible to avoid going too fast and injuring passers-by.
"Grandpa Liu, will the Hu family take us in? After all, grandpa has not interacted with them for many years..." The handsome man frowned and asked.
Manager Liu smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that Hu Jun and our master were friends of life and death in the early years. This kind of friendship may not fade away even after decades, but there are no absolutes in everything, so we should proceed with caution...
"
Tang Yu nodded. Since the Tang family experienced the natural disaster more than a year ago, there are not many left. Coupled with the plot this time, the only dozen or so descendants were also brutally murdered.
In such a large Tang family, there are only four descendants left, namely Tang Yu and the others.
If something goes wrong with these four people again, then the Tang family will be regarded as the last to be defeated...
The carriage was stored at an inn, and Tang Fei was also arranged in a room in the inn, leaving Tang Ziyan to take care of Tang Fei.
The other three people went to visit Hu's house.
…
The Hu family's house is in the northeast corner of the county. When several people came to the door of the Hu family, they were blocked by the Hu family's guard.
Manager Liu smiled lightly and handed a letter to the guard, and said with a smile: "This is a letter from my master to your master. I believe Mr. Hu will definitely meet us after reading this letter..."
The guard received the letter with a strange expression and said angrily: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go see our master..."
After saying that, the guard ran into the house in a hurry, while the remaining guard still looked at the few people eagerly.
Tang Yu curled his lips and complained in a low voice: "The Hu family's ostentation is not small, and our Tang family's guard has never been so difficult..."
Manager Liu advised: "Young master, after all, this is someone else's place. We are living under someone else's roof now. We will inevitably have to look at these people's faces in the future. Let's be patient for now."
Tang Yu nodded unhappily and stopped talking gloomily. Tang Yuanbao stood behind them, looking at his elder brother for a while, then for Grandpa Liu, and finally just lowered his head without saying a word.
After a while, there was a burst of scattered footsteps in the mansion, and then the vermilion door creaked open.
An old man with white hair and good spirits walked out with a smile on his face. After seeing Butler Liu, he cupped his hands and said: "These are the tribesmen introduced by Brother Tang. Haha, the servants don't understand the rules and have neglected you."
, come, please follow me into the house to talk..."
The few people followed the old man in without any hesitation.
Arriving in the hall, Manager Liu smiled humbly, bowed his hands and said, "This is Liu Neng, the housekeeper of the Tang family's library. Next to me is our master's eldest grandson Tang Yu, and the younger one is the eldest elder's child Tang Yuanbao...
"
Hu Jun kept smiling and nodding, and then said with a smile: "When you get here from now on, you will be considered home. Don't be restrained. Let's sit down and talk. Come and serve tea!"
"Haha, Brother Tang and I haven't seen each other for eighteen years. It's really chilling for this old boy to remember that there is such a brother outside after something happened at home..." Hu Jun laughed and cursed while giving instructions.
People serve tea.
Feeling such kind treatment, and seeing the kind smile on Mr. Hu Jun's face, the tense heartstrings of several people relaxed a little, and they began to have a family time with Mr. Hu Jun.
Hu Jun asked about the current situation of the Tang family. Sometimes he smiled and nodded, and sometimes he was filled with emotion. After hearing that the Tang family was attacked by a meteorite, he sighed: "This is an ordeal that God has given to your Tang family. If you can survive this,
Then it will rise again like a phoenix from Nirvana. If it cannot survive, well, it’s hard to say..."
"Grandpa Hu, don't worry, our Tang family will definitely be able to survive this!" Tang Yu said firmly.
Hu Jun laughed loudly and said: "Okay, as long as you have ambition, then there is hope. By the way, this letter says that all the descendants of the Tang family will come here, why are there only three of you?"
Tang Yu said sadly: "Grandpa Hu doesn't know something. We were ambushed by gangsters on the way to Jiangbei County. There are more than a dozen younger members of the family, and now only a few are left. There is also a younger brother who is seriously injured and it is inconvenient to visit Grandpa Hu."
, I can only stay in the inn first, and now I am being taken care of by Zi Yan..."
A hint of cunning flashed across Hu Jun's eyes, he pondered for a moment, and asked: "I don't know which inn the young grandson is at. I'll send someone to the Hu family and find some doctors to come and take a look."
Tang Yu showed a grateful look on his face and said, "Thank you so much, sir. Tang Fei and Zi Yan are currently at the Yuelai Inn..."
Hu Jun waved, and a servant hurried in, bent down and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Take a few people with you and go to Yuelai Inn to pick up my grandson and granddaughter..."
The servant responded respectfully and left quickly...
"Come here, take some guests down to rest!" Hu Jun stood up and ordered.
Liu Neng quickly stood up and wanted to say thanks, but suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Tang Yu opened his mouth, looked at this scene with some surprise, and shouted: "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu!"
Just as he was about to lean down, a feeling of dizziness came to his mind, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
Tang Yuanbao looked at Hu Jun, who was still smiling, and suddenly felt that the originally kind smile was now like the smile of the god of death, which made people tremble...
"It's you, you...what are you going to do?" Tang Yuanbao asked tremblingly.
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just going to give you to the Lin family in exchange for some rewards..." Hu Jun said lightly while stroking his beard.
After hearing these words, Tang Yuanbao felt a burst of despair in his heart, and finally he lay down on the table.
The old man waved his hand, and several broad-shouldered and round-waisted men tied up Tang Yu and others.
"Take them down and guard them carefully so that nothing goes wrong. Send them to Dahuang County early tomorrow morning..." Several people nodded in agreement and hurried down.
Silence returned to the living room.
A middle-aged woman slowly walked out from behind the screen, looked at her husband with complex eyes, and asked: "Sir, if we do this, the Tang family will be wiped out!"
Hu Jun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "Madam, if I don't do this today, it will be our Hu family's turn to be extinct. The Lin family in Dahuang County has just resolved its internal strife and urgently needs to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and make those who despise them
The authoritative family must pay the price. We cannot confront others in this stall... If I were alone and had nothing to worry about, I would rather die than protect these children..."
The lady remained silent and did not speak, and the living room fell into silence again.
