Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Eight: Now you know what you are afraid of?
Seeing the old Taoist's uncalm expression, Su Gu sneered in his heart. Seeing this behavior in his eyes, he was quite relieved in his heart.
How can such an old man be afraid sometimes?
Interesting, really interesting!
"Does the Taoist think that I was joking with the Taoist just now?"
"The person who entered the city before and is resting in the house now is none other than the hussar general from the imperial court!"
"As for why he appears here and what his purpose is, the Taoist priest does not need to ask me. Even I have not figured out these things."
Su Gu raised his head, his eyes fell on Lao Dao, and said with a sneer.
Such words are not because he is unwilling to reveal the information to the old man, but because he really does not know.
Xiao Wen has only been here for a short time. Even if he is willing to investigate, he will not be able to get results in a short time.
Not only the veteran has the same doubts, but he also has the same doubts.
"As for now, don't worry about the few followers under your command. It's business to run away in advance. Go out to avoid the limelight first, but don't get into trouble. If you die in an unknown way, it's not easy for me to report to the court.
Let the adult explain it to you!" Su Gu glanced at the old Taoist and said again.
The old Taoist glanced at Su Gu, then snorted coldly, and said: "I'm afraid your Excellency is not afraid of not being able to explain, but that I'm afraid that this poor Taoist being here will bring misfortune to you, right?"
Su Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "You are an old man, but you are quite considerate of these trivial matters."
"But just like what you said, I really don't want to be implicated because of your matter."
"Only by hiding in the dark can I provide you with protection. Once exposed to the light, all that awaits us is death. You know this, and I know it too!"
"Moreover, I have an intuition that the reason why the hussar general came straight to Hanzhong this time is probably because he came to me."
"I have sent out so many spies before, but no news has been received. This makes me feel that this matter is not that simple. Maybe it is because the Lord Zhou Mu has removed all my spies."
When he said this, Su Gu's expression was calm and did not change at all, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
There was no sense of urgency that he was being targeted.
Even when he was talking to the old Taoist, he had an indifferent look on his face.
However, when the old Taoist heard these words, he was quite shocked in his heart. He stared at Su Gu, took a deep breath, then nodded and replied: "Okay, I know what to do."
"After returning this time, I gathered my close friends from the congregation, packed up my belongings, and prepared to leave."
Su Gu nodded and expressed his satisfaction that the old Taoist could be so enlightened. He looked at the old Taoist for a few times and casually reminded him:
"By the way, remember to take the secret path and never take the official path, otherwise you will be discovered."
The old Taoist was stunned, looked up at Su Gu, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know it well."
Su Gu nodded and asked the old Taoist to leave.
Almost a quarter of an hour after Lao Dao left, a servant ran over in a hurry, with a look of three parts frightened and seven parts anxious on his face.
He hurried to the front yard to meet Su Gu.
"Sir... Sir, something bad has happened..."
The servant was so tired that he was out of breath and stammered.
When these words came out of his mouth, Su Gu's eyes fell on the servant, he frowned slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Didn't I tell you that whenever big things happen, you need to calm down! How can you be so flustered like you!"
Su Gu scolded, stepped forward, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to the servant.
The servant was flattered, took the water glass, drank it in one sip, and then continued: "My lord, the hussar general is here, and he said he brought a gift for your lord."
"Gift? Looking at you, there must be something wrong with the gift, right?" Su Gu muttered, looked at the servant, and said to himself.
The servant nodded repeatedly and replied: "Your Excellency, it is precisely that gift that has a problem!"
"They said it was a gift, but I could clearly see that the box they put the gift in was bleeding, and there were some black hairs in the gaps in the mouth, which should be human hair."
"The little one would venture to guess that the gift given by those people was probably a human head! Then he panicked and hurriedly reported it to the adults."
"I'm afraid that the cavalry general came here with bad intentions!"
As soon as he said these words, Su Gu's face suddenly showed a look of shock and anger.
"Human head? Are you sure?" Su Gu lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice.
"I'm 80% sure! I can smell the pungent smell of blood very clearly. It must be the smell of human blood."
As soon as these words came out, Su Gu's face suddenly became gloomy, but he regained his composure in an instant. He glanced at the person in front of him and said: "I remember you are the one who just entered my palace, right? Whose name is it?"
?”
"The villain Chen Tiao was a ranger before he entered the palace!" the servant said while cupping his hands.
"You are a very careful person. If you don't mind it, after tonight, I want to promote you to my job. Are you willing?"
After hearing this, Chen Diao's eyes shone slightly. How could he refuse such a big piece of pie being smashed on his head? He immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you, sir...thank you, my lord!"
"Get up now. You don't need to care about the common etiquette when working under my command."
Su Gu said with a smile, waved his hand to Chen Tiao, straightened his sleeves, and hurried towards the door of the mansion.
The hussar general came here with a human head in his hand. An ordinary person would naturally be shocked and angry.
But Su Gu's appearance is just right.
When they arrived at the door of the mansion, they saw that Dian Wei had thrown a large wooden box on the ground. The blood soaked the box, seeped into the ground, and dyed the stone bricks black and red.
When the government officials around him saw this, they were naturally angry at Dian Wei's rude behavior.
However, besides anger, I was more frightened.
After all, the person opposite him is capable of crushing his group, both in terms of force and status.
In front of this person, I am nothing more than an ant!
Therefore, even if there is anger in my heart, I can only hold it in and not dare to express it.
Afraid of angering the hussar general in front of him, the nine tribes were sitting together, and even the county governor couldn't save him.
But even though they were so frightened, they still guarded the door tightly and did not let Xiao Wen enter.
This should be considered their final bottom line.
Not long after, Su Gu came, his eyes fell on the big wooden box next to Xiao Wen, he paused for a second, then looked at Xiao Wen, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Yo! The general is here!"
"You are here at the right time. I have just asked my servants to prepare the dinner. General, please come in quickly!"
As he said that, he looked back and glared at the government officials.
"Why are you guys still blocking here? Why don't you get out of the way for the general!"
"Master Su, don't be in a hurry about eating. This general has brought you a gift, so I hope you can accept it with your smile!"
"General, the governor is here, let's open the box!"
"I think the governor will like this gift from my general."
When he finished speaking, Dian Wei took a step forward, the Xuanling Halberd appeared in his hand, thrust it forward, lifted it upward, and opened the box.
For a moment, four heads were neatly placed in the box, looking quite ferocious.
The entire entrance of the government office fell into deathly silence.
