Peerless Xiaolong

Leng Bing pouted her little mouth and felt a little dizzy for a moment.

There are so many stories behind Cao Bao.

Until now, these things have not been able to come to a satisfactory end.

Soon, Chu Yuan and Leng Bing arrived at the village of Nanling.

However, the entire village was empty, not even a single person was seen.

Leng Bing couldn't help but be curious and looked around: "Where have all the people in this village gone?"

Chu Yuan didn't take it to heart.

According to the address given by Chen Lu, he soon arrived at a house in the village.

At this time, you can see an old man with gray hair sitting in the courtyard of this house.

This old man was about seventy years old, but his body was very weak and showed a trace of morbidity.

He was sitting quietly on a chair in the yard, basking in the sun.

"That's it." Chu Yuan said calmly.

Leng Bing hummed.

Chu Yuan walked over. The door to the courtyard was open, but Chu Yuan still knocked.

"Mr. Chen Guo?" Chu Yuan called softly.

The old man in the yard didn't seem to hear Chu Yuan's words, and he sat there motionless.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but raise his voice a little louder and shouted again.

This time, the old man turned his head and looked at Chu Yuan in confusion.

Seeing that he heard it, Chu Yuan stepped into the courtyard.

"Old man, your name is Chen Guo, right?" Chu Yuan asked.

Chen Guo looked at Chu Yuan and Leng Bing several times.

He quickly reacted and said in a deep voice: "I think you two don't look like ordinary people. What do you mean? Do you have anything to do with me, old man?"

Seeing his answer like this, I thought I had found the right person.

Chu Yuan smiled and said: "Old man, I want to ask you about the Cao family's ancestral hall."

"What did you say?" Chen Guo frowned, thinking he heard wrong.

"I want to ask you about Cao's ancestral hall." Chu Yuan repeated.

however.

As soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the room.

He quickly came to Chu Yuan and said: "You two, you are in the wrong place. What is Cao's ancestral hall? My father doesn't know about it at all. Please go back!"

With that said, the middle-aged man began to drive Chu Yuan and Leng Bing away.

"Your reaction is so big, I don't know that Cao's Ancestral Hall doesn't even believe me." Chu Yuan said with a smile.

"No matter who you are, please don't disturb my father's rest. My father is in poor health and seriously ill. If you disturb him, I will never let you go."

The middle-aged man shouted.

His name is Chen Mingwu, the son of Chen Guo.

As Chen Mingwu spoke, he kept pushing Chu Yuan and Leng Bing away.

Chu Yuan began to retreat at his feet, and while retreating, he said: "The three clans of the Cao family were all killed in the Cao family's ancestral hall. Don't you, as a lineage of the Cao family, not want to avenge the Cao family?"

"Or, what are you afraid of?" Chu Yuan looked at Chen Mingwu.

"If you don't leave, I will call someone." Chen Mingwu was already unhappy and drank.

After saying that, he took out a whistle from his body and blew the whistle.

As Chen Mingwu's whistle blew, a series of movements suddenly came from all directions in the village.

Villagers, male and female, holding hoes in hand, walked quickly from the fields.

A few minutes later, the whole yard was surrounded by villagers.

Chen Mingwu said: "Dear villagers, these two people broke into the house without permission and disturbed my father. We kicked him out."

These villagers all looked at Chu Yuan with hostility.

Angry shouts continued: "You guys from out of town, get out of here right away."

"That's right, don't disturb our lives, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude to you."

"Go quickly, go quickly." These people kept shouting at Chu Yuan with their picks in their hands.

Chu Yuan glanced at Chen Mingwu.

Chen Mingwu stood in the crowd with an angry face.

……

"Husband." Seeing how impulsive these villagers were, Leng Bing reached out and pulled Chu Yuan's clothes.

Even though Chu Yuan had all kinds of abilities, it was impossible for him to attack a group of innocent villagers.

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Don't be impulsive, everyone, I will leave right now, but before I leave, please allow me to say a word."

After listening to Chu Yuan's words, everyone looked at him angrily.

Chen Mingwu said: "What are you going to say? After you finish speaking, leave our village immediately. We do not welcome outsiders here."

"That's right, tell me quickly." Everyone urged.

Chu Yuan took out a knife without stopping.

The moment Chu Yuan showed his knife, all the villagers panicked and almost attacked Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan raised the knife above his head and said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive, everyone, I won't hurt you. I give this knife to you."

After saying this, Chu Yuan put the knife on the ground, raised his hands, and motioned to Chen Mingwu.

A man picked up the knife and handed it to Chen Mingwu.

Chen Mingwu glanced at the knife and turned it over. Nothing happened at first, but when he saw the words engraved on the knife, he paused slightly.

Cao!

Chen Mingwu took a deep breath and said to Chu Yuan: "I don't care who you are, please leave now."

Chu Yuanchong said to Chen Mingwu: "I don't think you need to hide the matter of Cao's ancestral hall anymore. Cao Wenyuan has been arrested. If you have any news you want to tell me, you can send someone to He County to find me at any time."

"I live in Tiandong Hotel, my name is Chu Yuan, Chu from Chu River, Yuan from New Year's Day."

After saying this, Chu Yuan began to retreat.

Then, he left directly with Leng Bing.

It wasn't until they saw Chu Yuan walking away that the villagers put down their weapons and went back to their business.

……

"Dad!" Chen Mingwu clutched the knife in his hand and walked towards Chen Guo.

He handed the knife to Chen Guo.

Chen Guo took a look and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Mingwu replied: "Cao's sword."

"What?" Chen Guo was a bit deaf and asked again loudly.

"Cao's sword."

This time, Chen Mingwu heard clearly. He stretched out his bony right hand and slowly took the knife.

Looking at the knife in his hand, Chen Guo said: "I haven't seen Cao's knife for more than [-] years. Those two young men just now, who are they?"

Chen Mingwu shook his head: "I don't know. That man said his name is Chu Yuan. He seems to be investigating the Cao family."

"More than twenty years have passed, and there is still someone investigating this?" Chen Guo said calmly.

"I don't know."

Chen Mingwu took a deep breath and added: "But in my opinion, he should be Zhang Taifu's man. Zhang Taifu has always wanted to kill us all."

"He wanted to take away this secret, and I was the first to refuse." Chen Mingwu clenched his fists together and said through gritted teeth.

Chen Guo didn't speak, he had already fallen asleep.
