Master, wait a minute

People are like ants on a hot pot, Guan Xi is anxious, helpless.I know I can't panic, but...

Guan Xizhi smiled dejectedly, his concentration was insufficient, he couldn't be down-to-earth and not impetuous.Bad things are on his mind.The Chen family has plenty of money, he is not worried about the ransom, what he is worried about is that they are not looking for money!

Guan Xizhi was most afraid of this possibility.Those who go all out don't even have to lose their lives. They don't care what if both sides suffer!In this case, how should they respond?

Day after day, Guan Xizhi was restless, so he had to go out to look for it himself!Chen Zhongbo was pregnant, and Chen Jin was a six-year-old child.None of them can bear to toss!

On the west side of the city, there is an ordinary courtyard house.

In a woodshed in the backyard, a corner of the wall suddenly rustled.Looking around, there are actually two gray rats hiding in the corner and fighting for food.

Chen Jin stared at it tightly, his eyes full of horror, "Daddy..."

Chen Zhongbo shook his head, gently embraced his son, and comforted him: "It's okay, mice are afraid of people. If you don't go there, they won't come."

With a sigh, Chen Zhongbo quietly counted the days.It's been nine days, and he and his son have been locked up for nine full days!

Chen Zhongbo felt uneasy, he was not afraid of anything, he was just a little worried.He was worried about Chen Jin, and of course, the little guy in his belly.Only now did Chen Zhongbo realize the importance of the fetus in his womb. This unborn little guy was as considerate and sensible as Chen Jin.He moved his hands and feet lightly, as if comforting his father.

The child was sensible, and Chen Zhongbo felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that this matter was difficult, so how could that person let him go so easily.That person is Chen Luo, the only son of the second householder of the Chen family.

Ten days ago, Chen Zhongbo took his son to Xishi Avenue, and he met that man in the shop specializing in Western painting utensils.It's still the same as before, but it's more disgusting than before.

"Brother..." the man called out, his right hand resting on Chen Jin's shoulder, seemingly unharmed.

Chen Zhongbo bit his lower lip, what can he do?In this case, he had no choice.

The only complaint might be Guan Xizhi.Half a quarter ago, Guan Xizhi went to a shop next door, and Chen Zhongbo scolded: When is the wrong time to go, why is this time!

"Daddy, I'm hungry." Chen Jin gently tugged at the corner of Chen Zhongbo's clothes.

Chen Zhongbo withdrew his mind, smiled faintly at his son, and said, "Go get it when you're hungry."

Chen Jinqiao curled up his mouth, climbed to the table, picked up a steamed bun on the table and nestled it back into Chen Zhongbo's arms, "Daddy!"

A steamed bun is broken in half.Chen Zhongbo smiled gratifiedly, his son was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and now he can eat this kind of tattered steamed buns with gusto, very sensible.

"Daddy, you eat too!"

Chen Jin took a bite of the steamed bun, then pushed Chen Zhongbo's arm.Why doesn't daddy eat it?If you don't eat, you will be hungry!

Pretending to tear off a bit of steamed bun, Chen Zhongbo put it in his mouth.He was in the middle of his pregnancy, and the growing fetus often pressed against the fundus of his stomach. His appetite was not good, and he didn't eat much.

Subconsciously, he looked up at the door.In the past few days, a person dressed as a guard came over every day and brought some steamed buns or a pot of white water.Gradually, the white water has a sweet taste, and occasionally a few pieces of dried meat are sandwiched in the steamed buns.

Chen Zhongbo smiled sarcastically, Chen Luo had been courting him for a long time, but in the end, his people could still be bought easily, it would be superfluous to keep such a fool!

Suddenly, there was a sound of iron chains outside, and Chen Zhongbo hurriedly hugged Chen Jin, his expression full of vigilance.At noon, the food delivery person just left, could it be that——

Is it Chen Luo?Chen Luo finally showed up!

"Brother, long time no see!" Sure enough, it was Chen Luo, he was leaning against the doorway, looking like a stickler, "They didn't greet you well, did they?"

Chen Zhongbo looked at Chen Luo, and even now he couldn't figure out why the benevolent child became what he is now?What went wrong? !

Chen Zhongbo has long been used to the impermanence of the world.At this time, he simply talked directly: "Tell me, your conditions?"

Chen Luo curled his lips, "Two living members of the Chen family, elder brother, what do you think the conditions are suitable?" Chen Luo sat aside with Erlang's legs crossed, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, Chen Luo laughed loudly and said, "Brother, are you going to have a baby?" He spoke like crazy.

Chen Zhongbo turned his head and ignored it.On the contrary, it was Chen Jin, with a look of contempt on her pretty face, and even her body was trembling slightly.Chen Zhongbo was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but tighten his arms around his son, the little guy was a little abnormal!

Chen Jin shrinks back into Chen Zhongbo's arms, her little hands tightly clutching Chen Zhongbo's skirt.

In the scene of loving father and filial son, Chen Luo looked up, and the weird nerves in his heart were like broken strings.Walking a few steps to the bed, Chen Luo crossed the table with one hand, and the hand went straight to Chen Zhongbo's belly.

Is this bulging place the child?His eldest brother, men can also have children?It is simply a monster!As soon as his fingertips touched the corner of Chen Zhongbo's clothes, within a split second, Chen Luo let out a cry of pain.

Almost at the same time, another sound followed.

Chen Zhongbo suddenly turned his head to look at the corner, his heart ached so badly that he split apart.He climbed up twice, hugged Chen Jin who was curled up into a ball, and hugged the child tightly into his arms.

Caressing the deep tooth marks on his left arm, Chen Luo gritted his teeth in hatred, "Little brat, you, how dare you bite me?!"

Lifting his head in Chen Zhongbo's arms, Chen Jin's cheeks were swollen with anger, and his big black and bright eyes were wide open, "You are not allowed to touch my father!" the little guy said fiercely.

Chen Luo was furious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Chen Jin carefully.Sure enough, there is no one in the Chen family who is timid and cowardly. Unexpectedly, a six-year-old child can hurt him!

Chen Luo leaned over and stared at Chen Jin's eyes, and said every word clearly: "I will get it back for what you just said!"

"Ouch!" Chen Luo covered his eyes and couldn't help waving his hands.

Chen Zhongbo hugged Chen Jin tightly with both hands, and the child poked Chen Luo's eyes with his fingers just now.Chen Jin didn't have much strength, but the little guy's fingers were slender and long, so it would be difficult for an adult to resist if he grabbed it like this.

Chen Luo's eyes hurt, and it didn't get better for a while.He suddenly laughed twice, then turned around and left the room, staggering and looking extremely embarrassed!

The wooden door was locked again, Chen Zhongbo hugged his son, and gently lifted the little guy's cotton jacket, leaving a bright red bump mark.

"Jin'er, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!" Chen Jin clenched his fists and shook his head firmly, "He is a bad guy, and he can't be merciful to bad guys!"

Chen Zhongbo was taken aback for a moment, he had never taught his son such things, this child is...

"It's what Master's father said!" Chen Jin looked at the door, and remembered what Master's father said in his mind: "Treat others with sincerity, but don't be bullied!" Chen Jin remembered these words clearly.That bad guy wanted to bully his father and younger brother just now, so he needs to be brave and protect his father!

Chen Zhongbo sighed softly, and turned his gaze to the door.He had to find a way to get out, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Chen Zhongbo knew Chen Luo's so-called conditions, that person would definitely want him to be completely defeated and have nothing, and would want him to wag his tail and beg for mercy from others like a dog.

Chen Zhongbo sneered, he is not a young master who relied on Zu Yin to work hard, Chen Luo underestimated his influence too much.

A day later, Guan Xizhi finally looked forward to a blackmail letter.Guan Xizhi heaved a sigh of relief as the few numbers had been written clearly.Fortunately, the other party still has plans!

only……

Xu Bo, the chief steward of the Chen residence, was in a dilemma, he could not ignore Chen Zhongbo and Chen Jin.But the property of the Chen family of Jinlu is not something that he can easily decide by a servant.

Uncle Xu was silent for a long time, and Guan Xizhi's stubborn temper could not help rising, "Uncle Xu, which one is more important, life or money?"

Xu Bo was speechless, in terms of the ability of tongue, he is definitely not Guan Xizhi's opponent.He was just a little worried, did Chen Luo only want money?

Guan Xizhi also thought of this.But he had no choice, at the very least, he also wanted to see the well-being of Chen Zhongbo and his son, this was the most important thing!

"Uncle Xu, apart from Chen Zhongbo, you should be the only one who knows the location of those things!"

The blackmail letter was placed on the table, including the seventeen shops of Xiangyun Brocade, the funds on the books, and the mansion in the city where the Chen family was located.This is what the kidnappers want, and this is "all" of the Chen family.

"Uncle Xu, those things are not in my custody, otherwise I wouldn't beg you." Guan Xizhi's tone softened a little, "For me, no amount of money can replace the importance of my family. In this regard, I hope you I can understand!"

As far as Guan Xi's sincerity is concerned, how can Uncle Xu not be moved.

After a while, Uncle Xu returned to the front hall holding a small sandalwood box.These were all the kidnappers demanded.

"Master Guan, this is something that has been passed down by the Chen family for four generations. You can figure it out!"

Opening the small box, Xu Bo's eyes were full of complex expressions.

There are [-] official official documents signed and stamped in the box.Guan Xizhi took it out and looked at each sheet carefully, as if he wanted to engrave the handwriting on the paper firmly in his heart.

"Uncle Xu, please go and invite Master Feng and the Seventeenth Prince over here!"

Guan Xizhi sighed: "Also, please ask the prince to bring his imperial bestowed 'cinnabar ink'..."

Xu Bo didn't know why, but seeing Guan Xizhi's appearance, he was sure that he had to do it quickly.Human life is at stake and cannot be delayed.

Staring at Uncle Xu's back, Guan Xizhi shook his head helplessly. Lord Feng and the Seventeenth Prince are high-ranking officials with integrity and respect, which is exactly what he wants.

When the time came, the two nobles arrived at Chen's residence together.After the simple exchange of greetings, Guan Xizhi didn't want to delay any longer, arranged the official documents one by one, took a deep breath, "I invite Lord Feng and the prince to come today, Xizhi has something to ask for."

Master Feng and the Seventeenth Prince already knew about Chen Zhongbo's kidnapping.I came here today because I wanted to give some help.But Guan Xizhi's unhurried expression really made everyone wonder.

"You two, these are the business documents of the seventeen shops of the Chen family, and the proof of the Chen family's ancestral house..." Guan Xizhi smiled faintly, "I want to copy everything, and I ask you two to be witnesses."

"Imitation?! You mean, fake?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. It's not impossible to be fake, but a fake is always a fake. The other party dared to kidnap Chen Zhongbo, so he must not be confused.Once the fake ones are seen through, that is, that is, the result of killing the fish and breaking the net.

Guan Xizhi smiled easily, dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and wrote an official document smoothly.

The result amazed everyone, Guan Xizhi didn't use a wooden ruler, and with one stroke, the two pictures were exactly the same.This skill is rare!

Guan Xizhi smiled awkwardly. He has been very good at copying and imitating since he was a child.He always thought it was a hobby before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Imitation is exhausting, and the official seal also needs to be re-carved.Not to mention six or seven hours after finishing all the work, Guan Xizhi's cotton underwear and back were also drenched with sweat.He has tried his best, as for the others...

Guan Xizhi is clear, he can calculate things clearly, but he can't estimate people!

With just a blackmail letter, it was really difficult for him to grasp the kidnapper's attitude.What exactly are they thinking, how can they let Chen Zhongbo go?

When the time passed, everyone discussed again and again, but Guan Xizhi's attitude was still firm and truthful, and he planned to go to the appointment alone with official documents.

"No, it's too dangerous for you!"

Everyone agrees, no one can agree with Guan Xizhi's persistence.Let's not talk about those imitated official documents, just talk about Guan Xizhi himself, he is just a teacher and scholar, facing those desperate gangsters, he may not even have the ability to protect himself, how can he talk about protecting others?

"Please don't worry! There will be no shortage of hidden guards, officers and soldiers. I just want to deal with the kidnappers alone."

Guan Xizhi has made up his mind, he must personally bring back his family, this is what he owes to Chen Zhongbo and his son!He wants to pay it back, he must pay it back!

Feng Xiang looked up at Guan Xizhi, then turned to look at the Seventeenth Prince sitting beside him, "Xizhi, we should have someone more suitable."

"no need."

Guan Xizhi shook his head decisively.How is the road ahead? Is it difficult?Still dangerous?He was not at all sure.He can't be so selfish, everyone has family members and treasures in their hearts, he can't involve others anymore.

Doomed to sleepless night.

Sitting in the front hall of the Chen Mansion, Guan Xizhi once again opened the small bag that had been with him all the time. Inside were Chen Zhongbo's tattered long gown, and three small bellybands that Chen Jin used when he was a child.

The past is still in sight.

Guan Xizhi shook his head. In the past year, he seemed to have experienced a lifetime.Ups and downs, ups and downs, the joy of reunion, and the pain of loss...

Copying official documents is a dangerous move, but this is the only way Guan Xizhi can.The Chen family's property, he can't just give it away.It's not his thing, it's not his turn to decide!Guan Xizhi believed in his own ability, if he hadn't told in advance, his imitation would definitely be able to hide from everyone's eyes.So, what remains is how to bring the family back home, and he has to bring them back safely.

Guan Xizhi is not a god, and he can't guess what kind of tricks and damage techniques the kidnappers will use.However, he has tried his best to make thorough arrangements, and a large number of hidden guards, officers and soldiers will definitely stick to that spot on the outskirts of the city.There is also the Seventeenth Prince, who will also lie in ambush in secret.Sometimes, solving problems requires brains, but also force, powerful force.

The twists and turns of the matter, Guan Xi's nature is clear and clear.Chen Zhongbo attaches great importance to the Chen family, and he will never let go of the Chen family property easily.Fortunately, Chen Jin was also captured at the same time. In Chen Zhongbo's heart, the only thing that can be compared with his family business is probably this little guy.For the sake of his son, no matter how many things Chen Zhongbo can give up, he can also give up.

Caressing the tightly tangled eyebrows, Guan Xizhi has long been tired of running in and fighting with "reality".He didn't want to spend his whole life in such embarrassment.

Guan Xizhi once thought that if Chen Zhongbo was willing, he could put aside everything in Beijing and return to Ziwu Mountain with Chen Zhongbo. They didn't want anything, just be ordinary people and live an ordinary life.

After all, it was Huang Liang's dream, Guan Xizhi smiled lightly, the vision he planned was after all just a dream.

Returning to reality, Guan Xizhi had to plan carefully.Family, he wants to take it back without fail, that is the treasure he cares most about!

A sigh, faint and faint, spit out endless thoughts, expectations, and waiting.Guan Xizhi looked out of the window, a drop of crystal fell from the corner of his eye, and he became dizzy on his tattered shirt...

At noon the next day, Guan Xizhi arrived as promised.

At the gate of the small courtyard in the western suburbs, three guards searched carefully and groped all over the body.

Guan Xizhi tilted his head, put his hands on his waist, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I don't know martial arts."

If you don't know martial arts, you don't have weapons, but the three guards ignored Guan Xizhi and still checked carefully, including Guan Xizhi's belt and boot soles.

Not far away came a person, and waved at the three of them, "Okay!"

The three guards quickly stood aside.

For the first time, Guan Xizhi met the mastermind behind the scenes.Although he has never met, Guan Xizhi can confirm the identity of the other party at a glance, with the same indifferent demeanor. The person's surname is Chen, and he is from the Chen family!

Chen Luo also looked at Guan Xizhi.Guan Xizhi's name is familiar to him, the former number one scholar, Da Xi's only wife.

Chen Luo was resentful, he hated Guan Xizhi for saving the dying Chen Zhongbo.If Guan Xizhi hadn't intervened back then, Chen Zhongbo would have been alone by now.What glory and wealth, sincere love, and even family happiness, which one can be related to Chen Zhongbo?

"I brought the things, where are they?" Guan Xizhi's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

Chen Luo was a little shocked. This teacher is really not an ordinary person. This proud character alone is enough to show his ability.

Chen Luo was a strange person, he wanted everything Chen Zhongbo had.If he can't get it, he is willing to destroy it.

Guan Xizhi rushed over in a hurry, and the hair on his temples was even stained with some traces of wind and frost.Chen Luo was annoyed, he was jealous of everything about Chen Zhongbo, especially his sincere treatment!

Chen Luo was not reconciled, his surname was also Chen, and he was also a descendant of the Chen family.Why is it that only Chen Zhongbo can be admired by the stars and enjoy all the love and affection?And he...has mixed feelings on his face, Chen Luo resents everything, God's arrangement, fate's teasing, just because he is not the eldest son and direct descendant, and because he doesn't have an auspicious birth date!He is about to lose? !

Chen Luo was reluctant, he would miss once, but he would never miss a second time.He wanted Chen Zhongbo's life, money, everything.

"Guan Xizhi, how much do you value Chen Zhongbo?"

"He is my family and I treasure him! Priceless!"

With such an answer, Chen Luo became more determined, "Where is the thing I want?"

Guan Xizhi frowned, "I will give you the things, but you have to let me see them first, and I want to make sure they are safe."

"Guan Xizhi, I treat you as a gentleman, don't let me down!" With a grim face on his face, Chen Luo dropped all his emotions.He is not worried about losing because he has nothing to gamble on.So what if the fish die and the net breaks, he will accompany him to the end!

A woodshed in the backyard, a small window to the west.Standing in front of him, Chen Luo took the initiative to open the cotton curtain above.

Chen Luo snorted, "Look, I treat them well!"

Guan Xizhi leaned closer to the small window, and suddenly took a deep breath. The two curled up in the corner and dozed off were his family members, the family members he missed so much!

"Let me in!" Guan Xizhi's gaze was fixed on the window. Here, he couldn't see the well-being of Chen Zhongbo and Chen Jin. His heart was still hanging and he couldn't let go.

Guan Xi was impatient, but Chen Luo took it easy, "Do you think I'm a fool! Let you in, and then I'll see you all together again?"

"Not only do I want to go in, but I also want to take them away! Let's go right away!" Patting the brocade belt on his waist, Guan Xizhi's expression suddenly became ruthless, "If you want to get these, you'd better do what I say !"

Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment, a little master dared to force him, and dared to force him with harsh words!

Chen Luo snorted, and winked at the people beside him, and the eight strong men who had been following him immediately surrounded him.

"Chen Luo, you must know that I will not come unprepared!" Looking around, Guan Xizhi was not intimidated at all, "If you are asking for money, then let us go quickly. If you are asking for life, I won't give you a dime!"

At this moment, Guan Xizhi is no longer that gentle and kind Master Xi.He is capable and powerful, and for the sake of his family, he can use all his means. He doesn't take Chen Luo seriously at all!

With frozen eyes on his face, Chen Luo thought for a while, then walked to the door and opened the lock neatly.

Guan Xizhi couldn't wait for the iron chain to come off the iron sleeve.Pushing open the wooden door abruptly, he rushed in.

There was a commotion, but Chen Jin was the first to react, and Guan Xi's heart ached when he called out "Master Daddy", even more so.

Chen Zhongbo raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were very hesitant, and he thought that Guan Xizhi would come.How, how did it really appear?He hasn't arranged everything yet!

"Zhongbo," leaning forward, Guan Xizhi clenched Chen Zhongbo's hands, "I'm here to pick you up!"

Chen Zhongbo hesitated, glanced sideways at Chen Luo, then turned his gaze back, "You, you came alone?"

Guan Xizhi nodded, "I came alone, the carriage is outside!"

Chen Zhongbo was faintly agitated, but unavoidably uneasy, "Let us go, what conditions does he want?"

"The Chen family, he wants the Chen family!"

"You can't give it to him!" With the help of Guan Xizhi's hand, Chen Zhongbo suddenly got up on his knees, "Chen family, how can you give him the Chen family?"

Guan Xizhi glanced slightly, "This is his condition, I can only give it to him!" His eyes were almost pleading, "Zhongbo, money is something outside of the body, just let it go..."

Chen Zhongbo's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he was unmoved at all, he knew that things should not develop like this.Chen Luo really wasn't asking for money, Chen Zhongbo knew this best!

Chen Zhongbo has been hesitating, Guan Xi has no choice but to turn his head and tell Chen Luo: "The carriage is outside, I will take them away now. When they get into the carriage, I will give you things naturally."

For Chen Luo, Guan Xizhi only had hatred, a hatred that wanted to put people to death.

This is the other side of Guan Xizhi, Chen Zhongbo looked at the stranger, but felt a little moved in his heart.He has been looking for it in his dreams, but what he is looking for is this steadfastness and peace of mind.Did he finally find it today?

The dream and reality overlapped, Chen Zhongbo looked at Guan Xizhi, and was lost in thought for a moment.

Guan Xizhi held Chen Zhongbo's hand tightly, how could he bear the time-consuming, "Zhongbo, you just think it's for your son, can you listen to me once?"

Before Chen Zhongbo could respond, Guan Xizhi looked down at Chen Jin, and said softly, "Jin'er, go with Daddy!"

Chen Jin nodded, seeming to be a hundred times more agile than Chen Zhongbo.He lived in the woodshed for ten whole days, and he believed that his wife and father would definitely come to pick him up.Sure enough, Master and Daddy are here!

"You believe me!"

A sentence rang in his ears, and Chen Zhongbo couldn't just ignore it because of his firm attitude.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Chen Zhongbo got up slowly, and with Guan Xizhi's support, the family of three finally stepped out of the firewood room where they were imprisoned for ten days.

Outside the house, there is no bright sunlight in the early spring afternoon, and the surrounding tall and short shrubs are still full of branches, and the cold wind blows for a while, which only makes people feel bleak and cold.

The carriage was parked outside the courtyard, Guan Xizhi carried his son up first, then turned to face Chen Luo and said, "These are what you want!" Guan Xizhi gave it happily, he always kept his word.

With a pile of papers in his hand, Chen Luo checked them one by one.The smoothness of the matter was not beyond his expectation, with two lives in his hands, how could the Chen family not obey!

The official document was put back into the brocade bag, Chen Luo looked at Chen Zhongbo, and said with a sneer, "I'll see you off!"

Chen Zhongbo was startled, and the memory in his mind suddenly appeared——

"Let me, send you on your way..." Please respect the achievements of others' labor, and don't spread them at will. If you like this book, please buy the original version.

Birds were flying suddenly, and there were bursts of chaotic noises, vaguely absent.

Chen Zhongbo woke up suddenly, it was not a dream, it was his real memory.For a moment, Chen Zhongbo didn't bother to push the switch Xizhi, he just remembered to protect his son tightly beside him.

Time seemed to freeze, Guan Xizhi could only hear the whistling wind in his ears.Not far away, the silver light on the tip of the sword is dotted with dots, like a hand-to-hand combat, sharp and ear-piercing.

Guan Xizhi's expression was in a trance, he stretched out his five fingers, and the color in his eyes was so dazzling.

"Zhongbo—"
