Chapter 246 About the quarrel
Chen Lai heard a sound of footsteps and knew that a nearby cave had been broken into. Hearing their shouts, he judged that they were disciples of Tianleimen and turned around and left.
At this time, Chu Tao and the others had moved to the Longjia Inn, and he had to go there to have a look.
Longjia Inn is located in the northernmost part of Dongcheng District, next to a street called Longxing Street. This inn is a long-fashioned inn with a large scale and an area of more than 100 mu. Chen Lai asked Chu Tao and others to choose this inn. On the one hand, because of the convenient transportation here, they can go and stay at any time, and on the other hand, they can inquire about the information around them. Longxing Street is very famous in the whole Baiqijing, and most of them are rich or noble. Through this, people can get a lot of important news.
Chen Lai came to Longxing Street and walked to the Longjia Inn to inquire about the courtyard wrapped by Chu Tao.
Chu Tao and the others hid in it and were very nervous. They were going to celebrate the first day of the Chinese New Year, which made people panic. At this time, it was not far from dawn, but it was still dark outside. The sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside is very loud. There are many people who are happily celebrating the whole New Year's Eve.
There was a fire in the room, which was very warm, but several women looked serious. Chu Tao sat in the quilt of ** with the child in her arms and quietly patted the child. Mai Wanxiu and Mai Xiaoxiu both sat by the bed, bowing their heads and saying nothing, while Bai Yinfan walked around the room, as if thinking about something.
They are all very clear about the current situation. Chen Lai is dealing with Tianshi. They don't know what the result is. They believe in Chen Lai's strength, but Tianshi's strength should not be underestimated. After all, there is the support of Baiqitang and Baiqi Academy behind him, and there are still masters in Baiqitang and Baiqi Academy. If inside Elite disciples unite to form a formation, so Chen Lai is even more difficult to fight.
What worries them more is that they are 30 years old to get rid of the entanglement of Tianshi, so what should they do next?
How to hide? How to deal with the investigation of Tianleimen disciples? How to find Zheng Tiehui?
So many people with a child are so noticeable that they dare not think about it.
"Second lady, don't go back and forth. Think of a way." Mai Xiaoxiu was very irritable when he saw Bai Yinfan walking around.
As soon as the voice fell, Mai Wanxiu patted her leg gently. After all, Bai Yinfan is the second lady now. She should be more or less respectful and pay attention to her tone. In fact, Mai Wanxiu has been upset for a long time, but he has been patient.
"Walking back and forth, aren't I trying to figure it out?" When Bai Yinfan heard this, he got angry and stared at Mai Xiaoxiu, "Have you been sitting all the time and come up with a good idea?"
Mai Xiaoxiu was stunned by one sentence, but isn't she easy to provoke? I can't figure it out, doesn't it make you think about it?!"
"Isn't that what I'm thinking?" Bai Yinfan didn't leave, turned around, confronted Mai Xiaoxiu, and stared at Mai Wanxiu.
Of course, Mai Wanxiu understood her eyes. Obviously, she was blaming her as a sister. She hurriedly pulled Lamai Xiaoxiu, "Little sister, think about it again. Aren't you trying to figure it out?"
Mai Xiaoxiu smiled coldly, "If you had listened to me, you wouldn't be so embarrassed now!"
After Chen's people killed Tianshui, Mai Xiaoxiu mentioned several suggestions, but Bai Yinfan did not listen and did not let Chu Tao listen, so Mai Xiaoxiu now has some opinions.
"So you blame me?" Bai Yinfan smiled coldly, "Will it be better if I listen to you?"
"All right!" Chu Tao, who had never spoken, straightened up and said, "Your voices are too high to wake up the child."
As soon as her voice fell, Bai Yinfan and Mai Xiaoxiu said nothing more. They all felt that Chu Tao was good and respected her opinions, but Bai Yinfan and Mai Xiaoxiu still looked at each other coldly.
Chu Tao sighed gently again, "I don't know the situation of the young master yet. Let's think about what will happen next. Let's infer it."
Under the leadership of Chu Tao, everyone began to discuss softly.
They think that there will be two endings. One is that Chen Lai defeated Tianshi and escaped; the other is that Chen Lai did not defeat Tianshi and his men, but he still escaped, but he will definitely be injured!
They agreed that the second situation would be more likely to happen.
So, they immediately prepared herbs to treat Chen Lai's wounds, and they began to think about where to hide next.
This place must be safe and convenient to find Zheng Tiehui. But they have been discussing for a long time and can't decide where to hide. Even this Longjia Inn has many safe places. Once they wait for Chen Lai, they must move immediately. While discussing, Mai Wanxiu looked out of the window from time to time to see if anyone eavesdropped or monitored.
"Hey, when will this day come to an end?" Bai Yinfan couldn't help complaining.
In fact, she doesn't like this kind of wandering day and doesn't feel stable at all. She makes people panic all day long, hoping to find a place to live happily for a lifetime.
But as soon as her voice fell, Chu Tao, Mai Wanxiu and Mai Xiaoxiu all looked at her, and their eyes were a little incredible.
Following Chen Lai all the way to now, they have known that it would be very bitter, and there was no complaint along the way, but now Bai Yinfan actually said such words! In fact, among them, Bai Yinfan was the first to know Chen Lai, and she was also the first to know Chen Lai's mission. Now it seems somewhat irresponsible to suddenly say such words, so Chu Tao and Mai Wanxiu's eyes are a little strange.
But they didn't say anything.
Bai Yinfan felt it, "Why do you look at me like this? Am I wrong?"
No one refuted her, but no one looked at her, as if they didn't want to see her again, and turned their heads aside.
"Am I wrong?" Bai Yinfan raised his voice.
No one answered her.
Bai Yinfan smiled coldly, "What do you think of hiding like this with your children all day long? We should wait for the young master to come back, discuss with him, have a happy fight, and rush directly to the Baiqitang compound. No matter who he is, we will kill him until we find the elder, and then learn the whereabouts of Zheng Tiehui through the elder! How happy it is!"
still no one spoke, but Mai Xiaoxiu sneered.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Yinfan stared at her.
Mai Xiaoxiu sneered again, "Since you are so good, why do you hide? Go straight with the young master to fight!"
Bai Yinfan waved his hand, "I still want to protect Chu Tao!"
"You called me wrong, Madam." Mai Wanxiu whispered a reminder.
Seeing that Bai Yinfan and Mai Xiaoxiu were going to quarrel again, Chu Tao quickly waved his hand, "I didn't think about it at that time."
"Madam, we haven't held anyone responsible?" Mai Xiaoxiu looked at Chu Tao and smiled bitterly, "There is no need to hold anyone responsible for this matter."
"Then why do you hold me accountable?" Bai Yinfan is tit-for-tat with Mai Xiaoxiu.
"When did I hold you accountable?" Mai Xiaoxiu did not show weakness.
At this time, the child suddenly woke up and cried. Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu immediately bowed their heads and said nothing.
While coaxing the child, Chu Tao took off her clothes and began to feed the child. She sighed, "Wait a minute. If fate doesn't come back before, then I, the second lady and the third lady will take the child, and the fourth lady will stay here to wait for the young master."
With that, he looked at Mai Xiaoxiu, "Fourth Lady, what do you think?"
Mai Xiaoxiu nodded, "Since the eldest lady said so, of course I have to listen."
Chu Tao looked at Bai Yinfan again.
Bai Yinfan didn't say anything and nodded.
When the child was coaxed to fall asleep, the room suddenly became extremely quiet, and no one said anything more. What suddenly came to mind. Mai Xiaoxiu looked at Chu Tao, "Madam, where are you going to go first after going out?"
Chu Tao looked at Mai Wanxiu. Mai Wanxiu is very familiar with Baiqijing. These two inns were operated by Mai Wanxiu. Of course, Chu Tao wants to ask Mai Wanxiu.
Mai Wanxiu thought for a moment and looked at Chu Tao and said, "Madam, let's go to the north of the city, where there are many forests, lakes and mountains. In case we can't live in the room, we can go to the mountains or the woods."
Thinking that it would suffer a lot, she smiled at Chu Tao again.
Chu Tao nodded and looked at Mai Xiaoxiu and said, "When you wait for the young master, you'd better go to the north of the city to find us."
Mai Xiaoxiu nodded.
Then, the room became extremely quiet again, and even the sound of people breathing could be heard.
Waiting for a moment, Mai Xiaoxiu stood up and went to the window to watch. Seeing that Qixing had lit up in the east again, he turned his head and looked at Chu Tao and reminded him, "Madam, it's almost dawn..."
Chu Tao looked at the gray window and sighed, "Wait a little longer."
Everyone began to wait again.
Waited for a moment, and there was no movement. Bai Yinfan was a little anxious, "Madam, I don't think we can wait. Let's go first, and then wait for the fourth lady and the young master to come to us."
Chu Tao looked at the bright window again and sighed, "Wait a little longer."
Bai Yinfan strode to the window, opened the window, looked out of the window, and looked at the distance. Suddenly, he found a group of dark Tianleimen disciples coming. He couldn't help but be shocked, "Madam, the disciples of Tianleimen are coming!"
Everyone stood up in a hurry. They thought that they must have come to search, and they became nervous. Bai Yinfan, Mai Wanxiu and Mai Xiaoxiu are all ready to put on weapons and fight.
Mai Xiaoxiu said anxiously, "You should protect the old lady and the children. I'll break the queen!"
Among them, she felt that her cultivation and knifemanship were better. At this time, of course, this difficult task should be undertaken by her.
"Little sister, take them with you." Mai Wanxiu suddenly took a few steps forward and patted Mai Xiaoxiu on the shoulder.
Mai Xiaoxiu shook his head, "Sister, this is what the eldest lady agreed in advance!"
"Now it has changed!" Mai Wanxiu pulled Lamai Xiaoxiu and pointed to Chu Tao, "Quick! You protect them!"
Mai Xiaoxiu did not leave, and the two sisters quarreled.
Bai Yinfan stood aside and was even more anxious, "What are you fighting for? Time is still important!"
Chu Tao has come to the back bedside and saw more and more disciples of Tianleimen around him. He looked at Mai Wanxiu and Mai Xiaoxiu, "Don't fight anymore. The fourth lady will stay. The second lady and the third lady will protect us!"
Chu Tao's tone has never been so firm, like an unchangeable order. When Mai Wanxiu and Mai Xiaoxiu heard this, they stopped arguing. Mai Xiaoxiu stayed. Mai Wanxiu patted Mai Xiaoxiu on the shoulder and hurried to pick up the package.
Just as Bai Yinfan and Mai Wanxiu were protecting Chu Tao and the children and preparing to walk out of the door, a familiar figure suddenly fell into the yard, extremely elegant, like a leisurely white cloud.
When several women saw it, their eyes suddenly widened.
