Chapter 545(1/3)
The old ghost looked at the young man. Although he looked very average, his figure was pretty good. He looked handsome against the outfit. "It's too late today, can you be tomorrow?" The old ghost patted the young man on the shoulder and turned around and went back with everyone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lao Gui, Mr. Anderson, told me that no matter how late, Mr. Lao Gui will be brought to his office. He will visit an important guest tomorrow morning, and Mr. Lao Gui's opinions will determine his attitude." The young man politely stopped Lao Gui and patiently explained to Lao Gui.
Anderson Jr. is a workaholic and works very late every day. After being poisoned by the horse farm, he was depressed for a while. However, after getting a $30,000 loan, Anderson Jr. regained his fighting spirit again and worked until late at night every day before he would give up. In order to make up for the vacancies left by the disbandment of the Hu family, Anderson Jr. always thought about recruiting two or three Chinese circus troupes to join the Global Circus.
"Didn't Mr. Anderson say who he is visiting?" Lao Gui asked casually. In fact, he had already made a conclusion in his mind, and it must be for the recruitment of a Chinese circus troupe.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lao Gui, my level has not reached this level yet." The young man replied with a smile.
The old ghost nodded and sent the apprentices back. "Let's go, it's too early to finish the talks." The old ghost was reluctant to participate in the decisions made by Anderson on the circus, but Anderson was always used to seeking the old ghost's opinions in advance. This may be just a form of respect for foreigners, but for the old ghost, it was quite helpless.
Little Anderson's office is at the other end of the station, just opposite to the dormitory. Walking through the gate, you have to bypass half a performance venue, so a straight line distance of only 200 meters requires nearly 500 meters.
The old ghost was already familiar with this road. There was a stone or a tree. The old ghost was very clear about it. With the idea of going quickly, the old ghost took a quick step, and in just about ten steps, he threw the young man behind him.
The young man had to trot a few steps, followed, and then be thrown away.
After only a few rounds, the young man gasped and begged behind him: "Mr. Lao Gui, can you walk slowly? I really can't keep up."
The old ghost stopped and smiled and said, "Young man, he looks quite strong. Why is he so weak? He lacks exercise!"
The young man panted and said, "Mr. Old Ghost doesn't know anything. I've been waiting for you at the gate for more than an hour, but I haven't finished my meal yet!"
Lao Gui smiled and said, "Little Anderson is a workaholic. When he is busy, he can not eat or drink all day. So, if you work with him, you must learn to be smarter, and it is best to eat full before going to work."
The young man smiled shyly, as if he wanted to explain something, or as if he wanted to hold his fists at the old ghost, but at this moment, two cold lights flew out of the young man's sleeves and shot straight into the old ghost's chest.
The old ghost reacted very quickly and flipped backwards, barely avoiding the two cold lights. Before he could stand firm, the young man had already pulled out the soft sword from his waist, shook a sword flower, and entangled it.
The old ghost responded hastily, and was already at a disadvantage. He was bare-handed and did not dare to take the young man's sword force. He had to tap the ground with his toes and retreat three steps backwards. At this moment, two cold lights shot out from the shadows on both sides of the road.
The old ghost took advantage of the retreating momentum to flip back and dodge the cold light on the left, and took off his long gown in the air, rolling it to the two cold lights on the right.
"Good skills!" A sharp admiration came from the shadows on the roadside. Before the sound fell, four cold lights shot towards the front, back, left and right directions. At the same time, a large black net quietly approached the old ghost as a hood.
The old ghost's feet were nailed to the ground, his body quickly leaned back, almost flat on the ground, and at the same time waved out the long gown in his hand and rolled out four cold lights, but he couldn't hide it as the black net under his head.
This net is very domineering, and ordinary swords cannot cut off the mesh wire. Once the net holder succeeds, he only needs to tighten the rope in his hand, and the person covered by it will never escape.
Several people jumped out of the shadows on the roadside at the same time, and used weapons in their hands to force the old ghost in the net. One of them took out a handkerchief, sprinkled some potion on it, and then blocked the old ghost's mouth and nose. The old ghost didn't even have time to ask questions, but he felt a dizzy moment, and then he was unconscious.
"Liu Tongdai, you're doing it beautifully." The sharp voice just now sounded again, and it was clearly Li Xier's voice.
"I am lucky to have the help of my subordinates, otherwise it would not have been so smooth." Liu Tongdai took out a handkerchief to block the old ghost's mouth and nose. After responding to Li Xier, he ordered his subordinates: "Pack it into a sack, climb over the back wall and evacuate it in batches according to the original plan. The second hiding point gathers."
In just a few seconds, the group of people put the old ghost into a sack and disappeared into the depths of the circus station.
An Zhai was lying in the quilt and waiting for his master to come back, but he was still unable to wait for his master. An Zhai had already developed a habit of not discussing with his master before going to bed, he would never be able to fall asleep. In desperation, An Zhai had to get up, put on his clothes, and knock on the door of the senior brother's room.
Zhao Daxin and Luo Lie were already asleep and were woken up by the knock on the door. When they heard An Zhai outside the door, they said that the master had not come back yet. Zhao Daxin disagreed and explained, and stood up and opened the door of the room for An Zhai. "Didn't the master go and discuss things with Mr. Anderson? Maybe it's been a long time, so can you just sleep first?"
An Zhai refused and begged: "I have to practice with my master every day before going to bed, otherwise I won't be able to sleep. Senior brother, please take me to find my master."
Luo Lie had already started dressing and said, "Senior Brother, you should agree to the blind man, otherwise we two would not be able to sleep. Even if you drove the blind man out of our room, he would stay at the door of the room and knock on the door. Yes, blind man?"
An Zhai laughed and gave Luo Lie a thumbs up.
Zhao Daxin had no choice but to compromise.
The three brothers came all the way until they saw Mr. Anderson's office, but they could not see the figure of the master. It was late at night, and Mr. Anderson's office had turned off the lights and the door of the room was locked, so the master was obviously not among them.
"I'll just say it, let you wait for the master in the room, but you won't listen. Look, you're going to be a mess? Is it a waste of time?" Zhao Daxin said it was a complaint, but there was no boredom in his tone.
Luo Lie said suspiciously: "Not right? We are the closest path we have walked along the way. How could we go wrong with our master?"
Zhao Daxin smiled and said, "Can you still play hide-and-seek with us in the middle of the night? Let's go and go back. I can't say that the master has arrived at the dormitory."
On the way back, he passed by the place where the old ghost met the fu again. An Zhai suddenly said in surprise: "Senior Brother, look, what is that?"
Zhao Daxin forgot to go along the direction of An Zhai's finger, but he was so dark that he could not see anything.
An Zhai took two steps, bent down and picked up something, then returned to Zhao Daxin, raised the thing he had just picked up in his hand, and said, "Senior Brother, look."
With the dim moonlight, Zhao Daxin saw what An Zhai was holding clearly and couldn't help but exclaim: "Flying needle? Throw it away quickly, it may be poisoned on it."
An Zhai was shivering, and a steel needle two inches long flashing with a cold light in his hand fell on the bricks and stones on the road, making a weak "ding" sound.
Zhao Daxin took out a handkerchief from his pocket, squatted down, wrapped it in a handkerchief, picked up the steel needle in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"The launch of such a flying needle requires a special crossbow spring. It is impossible for ordinary people in the martial arts world to have such a hidden weapon. Besides, this is in the United States, how could it be..." Zhao Daxin muttered to himself while looking at it. Suddenly, his expression became nervous: "Can't it be that the master was plotted against?"
Luo Liean Zhai was shocked suddenly.
After a moment of saliva, An Zhai shouted in a crying voice: "It must be done by those five dogs! Senior brother, we must find a way to save our master!"
Zhao Daxin shook his head in confusion and said, "Natuo does not have the ability to deal with his master. Besides, this flying needle hidden weapon is not something that Naduo and others can master."
Luo Lie thoughtfully and said, "Senior Brother, you have been with your master for a long time. Think about it carefully. Do you have any other enemies? Will they come after you from the Qing Dynasty?"
Zhao Daxin thought about it carefully for a while, but still shook his head, "I have been with my master for more than ten years, and I have never heard from my master that there are any enemies."
An Zhai almost cried out and sobbed, "Who would have done it if it wasn't for those five dogs? Senior brother, you must come up with a way to save Master!"
Zhao Daxin sighed and said, "Senior Brother is like you now, and he is also misty. How can I think of any solution? Let's go back first. When the master has not come back tomorrow, I will ask someone. Only he may be able to save the master."
An Zhai Buyi shouted, "Why didn't you go now? Will the master be in danger after a night?"
Luo Lie leaned over An Zhai's shoulder and persuaded: "It's midnight, how can you ask the senior brother to ask for help? Besides, if the person who plotted against the master really wants to kill the master, it's too late for us to ask for help now!"
An Zhai refused without saying a word, but just sobbed silently.
Zhao Daxin forced a smile and said, "Go back, maybe this flying needle has nothing to do with the master, and the master is already lying on the bed and asleep." After saying this, even Zhao Daxin himself would not have any confidence. On the way, he reminded him again: "Remember, don't tell other senior brothers and sisters about the master being plotted against. The fewer people know, the better."
The old ghost did not return overnight, and Zhao Daxin did not sleep all night.
The next morning, he went to Anderson's office first.
Anderson was confused when Zhao Daxin's inquiry and said, "No, Mr. Zhao, I have never hired Chinese translators. There is no problem with your English level. Why did I spend this in vain? Also, I felt a little uncomfortable last night and left the office early and never asked anyone to inform Mr. Lao Gui that I want to see him."
There is no need for little Anderson to lie, and he will never be able to get along with the group of people who plotted against the master. At the same time, the master's failure to return overnight, as well as the words of little Anderson, including the flying needle he picked up at night, can basically conclude that the master's old ghost was indeed plotted against.
I can only ask Mr. Gu for help.
After leaving Anderson's office, Zhao Daxin sent Luo Liean and Zhai back to the dormitory, and then went to Anliangtangkou alone.
Naduo was called away by someone sent by Li Xier early in the morning.
When he got out of the car, the person sent by Li Xier handed Naduo a black cloth belt and said, "No, Fifth Master, Lord Li's rules." Naduo was stunned, and then understood the other party's intention, so he obediently wrapped his eyes with a black cloth belt. The car drove for a long time, and even if the people in the car carefully distinguished it, it would be impossible to remember the route.
The car finally stopped in front of a building that looked like a warehouse. Li Xier's man untied the black cloth belt for Na Duo and said, "Fifth Master, please, Lord Li is waiting inside."
Naduo followed the people sent by Li Xier and walked into the building. He met Li Xier in a room on the second floor.
"You little kowtow to the Lord." As soon as I entered the door, I was still five steps away from Li Xier, and Naduon bowed.
"Get up." Li Xier was eating breakfast, but when he saw Na Duo come in, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the towel handed over by his subordinates, wiped his mouth, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, come, sit over and eat some of them."
Naduo was flattered, just got up and knelt down again, and replied, "I dare not."
Li Xier giggled and said, "Why don't you dare? Is the scattered family scary?"
Naduo kowtowed in a panic and said, "The small one does not mean that, the small one means that adults are noble, and the small ones are afraid..."
Li Xier pointed to the opposite side and said, "Let you come and eat, you come here. This is in America, the territory of foreigners, and none of us can be noble."
Na Duo stood up carefully and sat opposite Li Xier with a timid appointment, but did not dare to pick up the pair of chopsticks in front of him.
"Eat, why are you doing when you stand?" Li Xier raised his right hand, twisted an orchid in the air and pointed it out. He immediately raised a cup of tea. Li Xier took a sip, but didn't drink it, but just rinsed his mouth. "The family knew that foreigners couldn't eat it well, so the family specially brought the chef from the imperial kitchen. Let's eat it while it's hot, and taste if it's the old taste of our Forbidden City."
The dining table was made of several wooden boxes, with a piece of white cloth on it, and seven or eight snacks on it. There were the best fried liver, fried belly, fried cakes, scorched circles, and sour cabbage and pickled garlic brought in by the Eight Banners from outside the Pass. When I took a look at it, Naduo was already drooling.
"The family has invited the old ghost, but it will depend on your next one." After rinsing, Li Xier immediately changed the tea and handed it to Li Xier. "Is three days enough? If not enough, it will be fine to slow down for two days, but the faster the better. The family is already a little anxious."
Na Duo suddenly felt a numbness on his back. At this moment, he realized that he might have made a huge mistake. What if the old ghost was not the thief that Li Xier wanted to investigate, even if he admitted it, he could not catch up with the stolen treasure. Then, how should he explain to Li Xier? If Li Xier really took his anger for this, not only would he be in trouble, but his family might be involved.
It is difficult to ride a tiger, no matter how much Na Duo regrets it, he can only walk forward with his teeth, "Don't worry, sir, at most, I will be able to pry open the old ghost's mouth for five days."
Li Xier nodded and said, "With your words, the zodiacs will be relieved. All these people belong to you. You can use them at will. Even if you ask them to die for no reason, they will not frown."
After hearing this, Naduo was not at all relieved and excited, but felt that the numbness on the back of the spine became even more serious.
After Li Xier finished his instructions, he was about to leave. Na Duo hurriedly stood up and saw him off. Li Xier stopped him: "You, don't be so particular. The miscellaneous said that this is the American American for foreigners. If we save all our rules, please save all our rules." Li Xier refused to let Na Duo see him off. Na Duo had to stand still and send Li Xier to the first floor of the stairs with respectful eyes, and then from the stairs to the gate of the building.
When Li Xier's figure completely disappeared, Na Duo said nothing and quickly greeted the various snacks on the table.
The taste of these foods is actually very average and cannot be relied on the word authentic. But in New York, it is different. It is still the taste of my hometown! The wind blows the clouds and cleans up the food on the table.
After eating and drinking, the next step should be to humiliate and torture the old ghost.
The old ghost was covered by the big net, and his hands and feet were limited. The other party had too many people. The old ghost had no choice but to give up resisting. However, Shang Wei and asked about the other party's origin and reason, and one of the other party blocked his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. He took a breath and felt dizzy, and then he was unconscious. When he woke up again, he found that he was locked in a dark place, and his hands and feet were all locked by iron chains.
"Dang!"
There was a sound of the lock head hitting the iron sheet after unlocking it, and then the iron door opened and light surged in.
The light was not very strong, but it was enough to make the old ghost in the darkness unable to open his eyes. After getting used to it, he saw clearly that the person coming in was Na Duo.
Lao Gui suddenly had doubts. The one who attacked and plotted against him at night was definitely a group of experts. Moreover, they cooperated with each other with tacit understanding. It was obviously a gang of strict training. With Naduo's status, it was impossible to include such a high-level organization under his command. Even if they spent money to hire, Lao Gui felt that it was impossible. These masters like killer organizations should not have come to America on their own initiative. If they were invited from the Qing Dynasty, the travel expenses and commissions would not be a small amount. Naduo would definitely not be able to afford that much money.

"Old Gui, I didn't expect that we would meet again on such occasions." The numbness on the back of Naduo's back had not passed, but in front of Lao Gui, he had to take out a style that was in control. Behind him, the subordinates who stayed behind Li Xier set up a folding chair for Naduo. Naduo sat down, crossed his legs, took out a cigar, and lit it with the foreign fire handed over by his subordinates, and sprayed two sips of cigarettes comfortably.
"We can be friends, but why did we get to this point today?" Naduo waved his hand, and immediately a subordinate leaned over and bent down. Naduo ordered: "Open the light, bring the door with you, you go back first, I will talk to Mr. Lao Gui about some private matters."
