The sudden change was beyond everyone's expectation, and they were all stunned on the spot.
Chen Ping raised his head in astonishment. The cool breeze blew in from the window, making his body covered in cold sweat tremble unconsciously.
Tang Hao tilted his head, and with lightning speed, inserted the dagger into the chest of the Second Hall Master.
His speed is so fast!
The second hall leader had no time to react, so he could only grab the dagger and collapse to the ground, gasping for air.
Tang Hao threw away the dagger, and with his body as fast as thunder, he turned around and approached the two guards at the door, grabbed the door frame and pulled hard.
With two bangs, the guard's head hit the wooden door and his head became dizzy.
Then he quickly pulled the two guards into the woodshed. Before they could stand up after they hit the wall, Tang Hao punched his temple with his fist, grabbed his throat with his backhand, and twisted it hard.
The sound of bones breaking in this sudden change made everyone's scalp numb.
Tang Hao's whole set of movements was like flowing water, and the two big men just went limp, and they didn't even have time to scream.
That Ling Shu refused to close his eyes until his death, and even to his death he did not understand why the knife struck his throat.
His surprised and dazed face was frozen in the bright red all over the ground, and had lost all life.
The second hall master was still paralyzed on the ground, covering his chest, twitching and screaming, trying to crawl out, and kept shouting.
"Help, help...I have money..."
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and came to him.
"If you have the money, I'll bring people to raid your home!"
He directly raised his leg and stepped on the head of the second hall master, took out the dagger from his chest, and stabbed him several times.
After Tang Hao finished all this, he walked towards the stunned Chen Ping with a dagger in hand.
Chen Ping swallowed, "You..."
"I'm delivering a message to you." Tang Hao spoke concisely and to the point, dropped the dagger and said, "Cut the rope yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled again, picked up the guard's long knife, and walked out as if nothing had happened.
It turns out that Tang Hao is the mysterious man who sent the letter!
What is his identity, why did he help him, and why did he suddenly kill him again today? All of this is still a mystery.
But now it was important to save his life. The fear of escaping from death came. Chen Ping came to his senses and hurriedly picked up the dagger and cut the rope.
I also heard Tang Hao shouting loudly from a distance outside the door: "Brother, Boss Ling asked you to come over and say something!"
Cao Lei also recovered from his near-death despair and asked feebly.
"Is that your connection in the military?"
Chen Ping paused in his movements, thinking about bullshit connections, they were all tiger skins he pulled off casually.
However, recalling what Tang Hao had just said, he hesitated and acquiesced.
He quickly separated the rope, found the key on the dead guard, and released the iron chain on Cao Lei. However, he was injured in many places and was unable to move for a while.
"Master, wait for now, I'll go find medicine for you." Chen Ping heard no movement outside.
"Forget it, there must be a lot of people outside, don't take any more risks." Cao Lei stopped him.
"It's okay, I'll be careful."
Cao Lei is covered in wounds and must stop the bleeding as soon as possible, otherwise his life may not be saved.
Chen Ping didn't care so much anymore and strode out directly. At a glance, he saw the corpse lying on the ground.
He really couldn't get used to such a bloody scene. He raised his head and tried not to look. He followed the road and turned a few corners. Finally, he found some bottles and cans on a shelf in one of the rooms.
He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to get it, when a man suddenly appeared from behind the shelf. His gloomy and cold-blooded gaze made Chen Ping freeze up.
When they met on a narrow road, the man immediately rushed towards him without thinking.
At the critical moment, Chen Ping blocked it with a dagger.
However, the man was well-trained and stronger than him, so he knocked his dagger down directly.
"Go to hell!"
Chen Ping hit the bookshelf in pain, and hit the wound on the back of his head again. The pain made his eyesight go black.
The shelf fell to the ground with a clang, and the man held the knife in both hands and was about to stab it down.
Between the lightning and flint, a dark shadow quickly jumped in.
The steel knife was knocked down and the man was directly beheaded.
"Chen Ping! Chen Ping!" The person who came was actually Zhao Jin, "Are you okay?"
Chen Ping covered his head and grimaced in pain.
"I'm fine... Hall Master Cao is in the woodshed at the back. He's seriously injured and needs medicine."
His head was dizzy, and by the time he realized what was happening, Zhao Jin was already carrying him towards the backyard.
What a coincidence, Tang Hao happened to be carrying Cao Lei out when he arrived.
When their eyes met, Zhao Jin subconsciously became wary, "Who are you?"
"Brother Zhao, he is the person who delivered the letter to us," Chen Ping paused and said again, "To appease the deputy envoy, Mr. Tang Haotang."
"Appease the deputy envoy?" Zhao Jin was surprised.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave first." Tang Hao also looked at Zhao Jin in surprise.
Although this courtyard is said to belong to Ling Shu, it is not under Ling Shu's name. How did Zhao Jin know about it?
But now was not the time to talk, so the four of them hurried out of the back door.
There is still the carriage from when Ling Shu arrived at the back door. The driver has been dealt with, and the few people got on and left.
"Brother Zhao, how did you find me here?"
Chen Ping did not see anyone from Jiulong Hall.
"That's what the follower next to Ling Shu said." Zhao Jin said.
"Most people around Ling Shu are tight-lipped, how could he tell you?"
Tang Hao, who acted as the groom, put down his bamboo hat and asked curiously.
Zhao Jin said "hmm" to express his agreement, and then said: "So I broke his hands and feet."
Tang Hao: "..."
Chen Ping looked at Tang Hao and Zhao Jin and couldn't help but sigh, they are both ruthless people.
He chose to skip this topic and turned to look at Cao Lei.
Cao Lei was seriously injured, betrayed, and tortured both physically and mentally.
Chen Ping could only hold the old man's hand tightly and give him some spiritual help.
The carriage stopped not far from the hospital, and Tang Hao handed the whip to Zhao Jin.
"Ling Shu died, and there will be chaos down there. I can only send you here, and you have to deal with the follow-up. Don't make any publicity about my affairs, and wait for my notification."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for anyone else's reaction, he disappeared directly into a small road.
……
Several hall leaders quickly got the news and rushed to the hospital with their people.
He Qingxuan, Ye Chongwen, and Cheng Cheng were a step ahead of them. When they arrived, Chen Ping had already bandaged his wound, but his face was still pale.
In the inner hall of the medical center, the doctor shook his head at the three hall masters.
"Palace Master Cao was injured too badly, and he is so old, especially the stab wounds on his back and chest, which have damaged his internal organs. Alas, you should talk more."
"Is there nothing you can do?" The third hall master's eyes turned red.
The doctor shook his head helplessly and was helpless.
Cao Lei was covered in bandages, and his old face showed a pale grayish color.
He was exhausted mentally and physically, even his eyes were dim, and he was already dying.
"Boss..."
The tough man of the three hall masters could not help but choke.
Cao Lei knew that he was about to die, so he shook his head with difficulty.
"People in the rivers and lakes enjoy grudges... It doesn't have to be like this. The third, fourth and fifth will stay... The others will go down first."
Seeing this situation, everyone also guessed that Cao Lei was probably going to make arrangements for his funeral.
Chen Ping and others stood up quickly, but were stopped by Cao Lei, "Boy Chen, you...you also stay."
Chen Ping was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions and just stayed in the inner room.
After everyone left, Cao Lei leaned weakly on the bed and said, "I have something I hope you guys can do."
He didn't have much time and had no time to talk nonsense. He had to talk about the important things first.
Several hall masters had sore noses and nodded repeatedly.
"Boss, your order is this, I will fight to the death!"
"Remember, remember..." Cao Lei was furious, "The first thing is, don't hurt the second brother's family."
As soon as these words came out, the three hall masters were breathing heavily.
He wanted to say something, but was stopped by several other people, so he had no choice but to nod.
"Okay!"
"The second thing is that after I die, the business in the hall will not change and the rules will not change."
"Okay."
"The third thing...Chen Ping."
"Master, if you have any orders, please tell me directly. Whatever the boy can do, he will do his best."
Chen Ping solemnly said what he was doing.
Cao Lei held his hand hard and said: "Okay, I want you... to take over Jiulongtang!"
