"Lord Zeng, is this where the expert you mentioned lives?”
In the alley of Changsha City West Street.
Qi Tiezui looked at the courtyard house in front of him and asked curiously.
"Yes, this is the place."
Lord Zeng nodded and quickly walked to the door.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
Three consecutive knocks on the door sounded.
However, there was no response from inside.
"What's going on? Could it be that there was no one? Are we going to make a wasted trip?" Master Eight said with a hint of regret in his voice.
One had to know about the ghost train incident a few days ago.
It had already caused a stir in Changsha City.
However, after searching for so long, there was still no trace of them.
He had thought that he would be able to obtain the help of an expert this time.
But who would have thought?
The expert Lord Zeng was talking about was not at home?
"There's someone inside."
Lord Zeng said solemnly.
He didn't come to White Jade City to try his luck.
They had already confirmed that the expert was inside.
Moreover, he had never stepped out of the courtyard all these years, so he must be inside.
"In that case, why are we still waiting outside? Why not just climb over the wall? Perhaps, the person inside did not hear the knock on the door just now.”
Master Eight still wanted to climb over the wall.
Although he was not very good at martial arts, it was not a problem for him to flip a small courtyard house. Although it was rude, it was better than standing at the door.
Moreover, the size of this courtyard did not seem small.
It was very likely that the owner of the house did not hear the knocking.
"Eighth Brother, I advise you not to move around. This place is different from other places. If you rashly jump in, I'm afraid even I won't be able to save you.”Lord Zeng reminded.
"I say, Your Majesty, are you joking? I, Qi Tiezui's martial arts are indeed inferior to yours, but climbing over the wall shouldn't be a problem, right? Moreover, you are the head of the Nine Gates in Changsha City and hold military power. Could it be that the owner of this house is more powerful than you?”
Qi Tiezui asked in disbelief.
One had to know that in Changsha City, Lord Zhang was a big shot.
If he was around.
What was there to be afraid of?
"If you don't believe me, you can try. But if something happens, don't expect me to save you.”
Lord Zeng said seriously.
When Qi Tiezui saw his serious expression, his eagerness to try disappeared in an instant. After all, in his impression, Lord Zeng would never joke.
In other words, if he climbed over the wall.
It was very likely that the person inside would kill him directly.
Not even Lord Zeng could stop him.
Thus, Qi Tiezui could only stand there and wait.
In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed, but no one came to open the door.
Qi Tiezui said impatiently,"Lord Zeng, are we just going to wait here? That expert's temper was a little too big! Why don't we just find someone else? I don't believe that he's the only one who can help us in this huge Changsha City.”
"Other than him, there might really be no one else.”
Lord Zeng said.
If it wasn't as a last resort.
He did not want to disturb Senior's rest, but the matter of the ghost fire carriage had already caused a stir. Moreover, many residents in Changsha City were fleeing.
Therefore, he had to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would give the pirates an opportunity.
"Alright, then we'll wait. But how long do we have to wait?" Qi Tiezui said somewhat helplessly.
"I don't know."
Lord Zeng also shook his head.
After all, he had arranged for people to stand guard around White Jade City all these years.
However, he had never seen anyone come out.
Therefore, even he did not know when he would be able to wait.
After hearing Lord Zeng's words, Qi Tiezui didn't say anything. After so many years of friendship, he naturally knew Lord Zeng's temper. Once a decision was made, even nine bulls wouldn't be able to pull it back. Therefore, this person would never give up until the master came out.
But Qi Tiezui didn't have such good endurance.
He sized up the surrounding walls and quickly found a gap. He subconsciously walked over, wanting to use the gap to see what was going on inside. However, before he could check it out, he had already found a gap.
Suddenly, a vine similar to a snake cypress crawled out from the gap.
Following which, it tightly bound Qi Tiezui. As the vines shrank, Qi Tiezui felt as if he could not breathe. If this continued, he would probably really be strangled to death.
When he was at a loss.
Qi Tiezui could only look at Lord Zeng beside him and say,"Lord Zeng, please save me…I was wrong. There is something strange in this courtyard.”
"Who told you to move around?"
Lord Zeng said angrily.
He had already repeatedly warned him, but Qi Tiezui this fellow was good, actually not listening to his advice.
"Lord Zeng, don't talk about me first. Put me down quickly.”
"Wait, I'll save you."
Lord Zhang shook his head helplessly.
However, Qi Tiezui was also his best friend.
Therefore, when it was time to save him, he naturally had to save him.
However, no matter how hard he tried to cut the vines, the vines did not show any signs of breaking. Instead, they wrapped around him even tighter.
Qi Tiezui's face was also bruised and swollen.
If this continued, he would probably die here. Thinking of this, Lord Zeng felt a little anxious.
At this moment.
The door that had been sealed for a long time finally opened.
Then, a young man in white walked out. Seeing that someone had come out, Lord Zhang quickly looked at the young man respectfully and bowed."Nine Gates Zhang Qishan greets Senior. I will never forget Senior's kindness in the past.”
"And you are? Mount Qi?"
Li Changsheng said as he sized up Lord Zeng.
"That's right, Senior."
Zhang Qishan said respectfully.
"Why did you come to my White Jade City? Also, did you bring this person here?”Li Changsheng said as he looked to the side.
"I'm sorry, senior. Master Eight didn't mean to disturb your seclusion. He's just a little reckless. I hope you can forgive him. The reason why this junior came this time is to ask senior to help me investigate a mysterious case.”Zhang Qishan said honestly.
