Thinking of this, Ma Jinbao hurriedly raised his hands and said respectfully: "Young Master and the two girls are invited to come to the meeting hall to wait for tea. The chief helmsman of the branch has been ill and has not come to greet you in person. He is waiting in the hall. I have specially ordered you to greet the Young Master.
Please forgive me."
Nangong Haotian is here to save people. If Mrs. Wei can be rescued through negotiation, it will certainly be the best idea.
Now, looking at the development of this situation, Aunt Shan must have convinced the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan. As for why the ruthless judge didn't personally greet him when he came, Nangong Haotian didn't care. As long as he didn't provoke himself, everything else was fine.
Thinking of this, Nangong Haotian couldn't show anything. He stretched out his hand humbly and said loudly: "Please lead the way."
Ma Jinbao responded respectfully, turned around and said loudly: "Lead the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous sound like spring thunder. The crowd around him was shocked by Nangong Haotian's indifferent appearance, and they were all vaguely guessing who this young master was? Is he the Dragon Slayer King who was in the spotlight in the early stage?
Disciple——Nangong Haotian!
Then the lanterns swayed and figures flashed, and there were dozens of red warriors in the crowd. They moved forward in two groups, surrounded by Nangong Haotian, Liu Qianwen, and Wei Xiaoying, and walked deep along a mountain road in front of the stone house.
go.
As Nangong Haotian advanced, he secretly monitored the situation. Only then did he believe that Aunt Shan was not exaggerating. The strength of the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan was indeed much higher than that of Shangguan Mi. Only this strict security system could definitely defeat him.
It can't be compared to Shangguan killing that cheater.
However, there is one thing that Nangong Haotian doesn't understand. Why didn't Aunt Shan rush back to the inn before dark? Judging from the current situation, her arrival should have been a success?
Secondly, based on the actual situation, Aunt Shan should also go back to the inn first and report what happened!
Although Nangong Haotian was thinking this, he didn't say it out loud. Only when he saw Aunt Shan did he know what happened.
But Liu Qianwen, who was confused in her heart, couldn't help but approached Nangong Haotian and asked softly: "Brother Nangong, why didn't you see Aunt Shan coming?"
"I'm wondering too!" Nangong Haotian was quite puzzled and said, "We'll be there soon, maybe right in front."
When Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying heard what was ahead, they looked up and saw that at the end of the forest road was a square lit up like daylight, and behind hundreds of people was a brightly lit hall.
Because the lanterns were shaking, I couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but I could already see clearly that there were several masked women in red clothes standing in front of the crowd.
When they were looking up, Ma Jinbao and three others who were following behind also heard Liu Qianwen's question and asked in unison in surprise: "Young master, you said that Aunt Shan didn't come, is it because Manager Shan is still behind, or is it because she is still behind?"
Did the young master not meet Aunt Shan on the way when he came?"
Although Nangong Haotian and the other three were surprised by the title of Manager Shan, they immediately understood that Aunt Shan must have made it up herself.
However, after hearing Ma Jinbao's words, Nangong Haotian and the others couldn't help but be shocked.
"What? On the way?" Liu Qianwen couldn't help blurting out and asked: "You mean Aunt Shan has left?"
Nangong Haotian also stopped and frowned. Aunt Shan had obviously left, but why didn't she return to the inn to join him? Did something happen again?
Seeing Nangong Haotian stop, the three hall masters also stopped. The incense master, deacon, leader, and others who were leading the way and following behind also stopped their progress automatically.
Huang Yifu said seriously: "Yes, Manager Shan went back to invite the young master before noon. So, the young master didn't meet him on the way?"
Nangong Haotian did not speak, because the crowd in the square was coming towards us, and he wanted to see what was fishy about it?
According to common sense, there must be Judge Ruthless among the people who came. If Judge Ruthless did not come, it would definitely be a trap.
"No, we didn't meet her when we came." Just as he was thinking, Nangong Haotian heard Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying say anxiously.
"This is weird!" Lu Jing and the other three looked at each other in surprise, and said in unison: "The three men from humble positions kept sending her to Beijiekou, and we didn't turn back until she repeatedly asked us to stop.
ah!"
Nangong Haotian looked at the expressions of the three people and knew that they were not lying, so he asked calmly: "What did Aunt Shan say when she left?"
Ma Jinbao was the first to answer: "Manager Shan accepted the invitation from the chief helmsman and returned to the north coast to greet you, young master. How could he not meet you on the way?"
By this time, the welcoming crowd had arrived.
The person leading the way dodged, and Nangong Haotian saw an ugly old man running at the front with a face covered with moles and black spots, a sparse beard, missing teeth, cross-eyed eyes, and pig ears.
Although the appearance of the ugly old man is terrifying, his half-closed eyes reveal a dazzling light. It can be imagined that the ruthless judge is very powerful, much more powerful than Shangguan Mie, but let him
What surprised Nangong Haotian was that at this time, such a strong man still had a look of fear in his eyes.
Nangong Haotian couldn't help but take another look at that person, and then turned to the other women in red.
As for which of the several masked women in red walking behind was the ruthless judge's daughter, Nangong Haotian had no idea.
While Nangong Haotian was looking around, the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan had already arrived in front of him.
I saw the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan, hurriedly took a few steps, clasped his fists and bowed in fear, and said respectfully: "I am in the southwest of the humble post, the chief helmsman of the general branch, Situ Tiannan, and the young master from the side is here. The humble post is ill, so I have not been far away to greet you.
, I hope you will forgive me, young master."
Nangong Haotian clasped his fists and smiled, and apologized: "I first arrived in the southwest. Due to wrong rumors and lack of contact, I had to come to fight the crime in person. After inquiry, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, and I feel ashamed..."
"Everything is an act of humiliation. I hope you will forgive me, young master." Seeing Nangong Haotian's pushback, the ruthless judge quickly bowed and said in a panic.
Nangong Haotian didn't want to say anything else. He turned sideways and raised his hands, pointed at Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying, and introduced: "These two are Miss Liu and Miss Wei."
The ruthless judge clasped his fists and said humbly: "Miss Liu, Miss Wei, you are not welcome, you are not welcome!"
Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying also hurriedly returned the courtesy and said they didn't dare.
Then, the ruthless judge Situ Tiannansu said with his hands, Nangong Haotian walked in front of him, surrounded by hundreds of people, and walked toward the brightly lit hall.
Looking closer, Nangong Haotian found that there were red warriors standing on the corridor and down the steps with guns and sabers on guard. They all bowed to his side to welcome them.
Although Nangong Haotian didn't understand why a dignified chief helmsman would show such an expression and treat him respectfully, he had to say that Aunt Shan still contributed a lot to this. Her eloquence was not outstanding.
Low, Nangong Haotian admired him very much.
Thinking of Aunt Shan, Nangong Haotian frowned slightly. Where did she go? She's not back yet. Something must have happened, but it doesn't look like she's here either?
Thinking about this, Nangong Haotian curiously glanced sideways at the ruthless judge Situ Tiannan behind him, and saw him walking respectfully behind him. He could not feel the slightest murderous intention on his body, only fear.
If Chenggong is really detained by Situ Tiannan, and he treats himself like this now, then Situ Tiannan's scheming will make people feel a little chilly. His acting skills in his previous life could have at least won an Academy Award or something.
of.
However, everything is possible. Thinking of the ancient proverb: You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must also have the intention to guard against others. Nangong Haotian immediately increased his vigilance and warned himself not to be careless.
"Please!" Situ Tiannan's voice brought Nangong Haotian back from his thoughts. He looked at him deeply and nodded. Nangong Haotian took the lead in climbing up the stairs, but his eyes were looking at the two corridors and the hall.
At the same time, what pleased Nangong Haotian was that Liu Qianwen and Wei Xiaoying, who were following behind, were also secretly on guard. Both of them were very smart people, so they naturally thought of what Nangong Haotian was thinking of.
Climbing the steps, I saw that the front hall of the hall had already arranged seats for the guests and hosts, and in the back hall there were more than ten people who seemed to be preparing a banquet. As soon as they reached the entrance of the hall, the ruthless judge respectfully whispered: "Young Master, please stop.
"
Nangong Haotian stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and took a look, only to find that the masters of the three halls and all the people following him had stayed at the foot of the steps and did not follow.
What puzzles Nangong Haotian the most is that just after passing the square and ascending the steps of the hall, hundreds of people have gathered below the steps, and they are all lined up in separate groups. The training is very intense.
Yoususu look.
I saw the ruthless judge raising his right hand with some excitement and said loudly: "Brothers, the handsome young hero who came today is neither an enemy nor a distinguished guest. He is the only heir to our Dragon Slayer King, that is,
The young master who will lead us from now on..."
As soon as the words "young master" were spoken, hundreds of people burst out with a roar of joy that shook the mountains and fields and reached into the night sky.
Nangong Haotian knew that this was arranged by the ruthless judge in advance, or maybe the bell just sounded was to summon the leaders and brothers of each church.
Since Ruthless Judge Situ Tiannan can say that he is their future leader in front of so many people, there should be no other possibility, otherwise Situ Tiannan will not be able to stay here any longer.
However, Nangong Haotian did not dare to let down his guard. He stood quietly, scanning everyone with his eyes. After the ruthless judge finished speaking, the hundreds of people standing in the square gave out a thunderous cheer.
Suddenly, he saw the ruthless judge who had finished speaking turned to him, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Master, please give them a few words of instruction."
