The next day, when the sky just dawned, the Hu Mansion was already bustling.

Under the banner of the old Fox King's 700th birthday, the Hu Mansion specially organized this birthday banquet, planning to hold it non-stop from morning to night.

Before the time came, it was time for all the tribes to set off for Jiuwei Mountain.Although the Hu Mansion reserved a place for all clans to rest, the birthday banquet was held at the top of Jiuwei Mountain, the journey was neither far nor close, and it would take an hour for experts of all clans.

Some tribes who had good friends with the Fox tribe had already gone early in the morning, but Feng Wang didn't need to worry about it. Knowing the inside story, they didn't have the heart to go to celebrate the birthday.

Last night, when all ethnic groups were sleeping soundly, a few insiders planned the night, hoping that everything would go well tomorrow.

During this period, Shen Lan and Xuanying walked the fastest. With their current cultivation, it only takes an hour to go to and from Jiuwei Mountain. The two explored Jiuwei Mountain at night and drew a detailed topographic map.

Not only that, they also discovered that the barrier strength of Nine-Tail Mountain was beyond ordinary, and there were heavy guards on the mountain, with one post at ten steps and one sentry at five steps, and there was not even a gap in time between soldiers patrolling the mountain.With this posture, he knew that he was going to a birthday banquet, but he didn't know, he thought it was some kind of Hongmen banquet.

... This night, for them, was too fast, too hasty.

Seeing that all ethnic groups are going about the same, Feng Wang also set off.When leaving the Hu Mansion, Shen Lan looked back hesitantly.They haven't seen each other since Chonggui left yesterday, and Chonggui asked them to follow his father again, without even a chance to say hello, and he didn't know what he was doing now.

Ever since he became the real governor, he has almost never been separated from him. Now that there is such a big event, he has disappeared without a trace. He can't help but feel a little worried.

"He is not a reckless person, he must have his own plans, and besides, there is still the Venerable, so you don't have to worry." Xuanying's deep voice reached Shen Lan's ears.

Shen Lan nodded slightly, and murmured: "Yes."

As he said that, he looked back.

The group headed towards Jiuwei Mountain.

On the other side, Zhong Gui was still sitting on the bed.

After waking up last night, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he could only meditate.

He didn't know whether it was a dream or another memory of his, no matter what the situation was, he could only worry about it after the matter was settled.

It gradually became quiet outside, and he put on his boots and got out of bed.

He walked to the mirror and saw that in the mirror, he had returned to his own appearance, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

I don't know how the master is doing now, is he okay?

It was fine when the master was there, but when the master left, even though he had tried his best not to show it, he still couldn't get rid of the slight uneasiness in his heart.

"It's been a night, didn't you say you'll be back soon?"

After being silent for a while, Zhong Gui frowned, rubbed his face vigorously, and forced himself not to think about it.

He walked to the door and listened carefully, knowing that there was indeed no sound outside, so he opened the door and walked out.

Most of the soldiers, maids, and servants of the Hu Mansion were transferred to Jiuwei Mountain, leaving only a small part of the guards. This was the time when the Hu Mansion’s defenses were the most lax. Before going to Jiuwei Mountain, they had to go to do one thing.

He disappeared and followed the route last night to the room where the old man was.

Regui is particularly sensitive to auras, he noticed that the auras in the surrounding yards had disappeared, and most of them were strong fox clansmen, who probably had already gone to Jiuwei Mountain.

The old man snored like thunder and slept soundly.Chonggui clicked his tongue softly, walked in, and patted him.

The old man stopped snoring for a moment, muttered a few times, and then snored louder.

Chong Gui pursed his lips and patted hard.

"Oh! Who killed a thousand swords!" The old man had not yet opened his eyes, and had already cursed out politely.

"Me." Hui Hui replied.

The old man opened one eye and glanced at him: "You? Who are you, dare to disturb the old man's sleep." He was about to close his eyes again, suddenly shrugged his nose, and both eyes opened: "Is it you? The weirdo who stuck his face in yesterday."

The old man sat up half propped up, his eyes still hazy: "I've said everything I need to say, what else are you doing here?"

"Take you away."

After hearing what the two young men said yesterday, he had already made up his mind, but it was clear that the old man would have some effect on the two big masters. He was afraid that his actions last night would scare the snake, so he dragged it all night. Come early.

For this birthday banquet, the master will definitely not let the fox clan have good fruit to eat, so it doesn't matter if you take people away today.

Hearing what he said, the old man came to his senses completely, he was stunned and then said: "The old man is staying here well, eating and drinking, why do you take me away?"

Chong Gui frowned, his clear eyes were full of doubts: "Didn't you hear, those two boys said that you are going to die soon."

The old man looked at returning to seriousness, and laughed out loud: "Little brother, I will remember that you have this kind of heart, but you don't need it, you can go." He has long since lost his will to live. , Die sooner or later.

But this young man's character is as stubborn as he can see from his eyes.

"No." Returning said.

"No?" The old man asked subconsciously.

Why can't it work?It doesn't bother him here.The old man looked at the young man, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the young man interrupted him first: "There are not many good things in this Hu's mansion. Those two heads are even worse. You offended them, and you will die here." It must be a hundred times more painful than dying outside. If you really want to die, after I take you out, I will help you how you want to die."

"You bastard..." The old man was shocked by these words.

After returning home, he had to rush to attend the birthday banquet, and he didn't have time to waste any more, so he couldn't help but grab the old man's hand and look at the chain on his wrist.

The old man obviously didn't intend to leave, so he sighed slowly for some reason, and said: "It's useless, the stone that Hu Yue found to make the chain is said to have fallen from Yunshizhou, it is very tough and indestructible, unless He opened it with a special key, otherwise there is no way..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhong Gui holding the handcuffs with one hand, and slashing with a palm knife with the other hand, with a "click", the handcuffs... cracked.

The old man had not had time to close his mouth.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Three times in succession, the chains that had trapped the old man for nearly 200 years broke.

"you……"

"Go first."

Returning to a low body, he grabbed one of the old man's arms and put the old man on his back.

He jumped out and disappeared into the house.
