Chapter 400 [Return to Fengtian] (1)
Chang Chai looked at Luo Lie with envy: "Mr. Luo, are you really not cold?"
Luo Lie shook his head. At this moment, the top of the hat on his head was covered with snow, as if he was standing against a Mount Fuji.
Chang Chai said: "Mr. Luo, you can take shelter from the snow here first. I'll call a car over."
Luo Lie said: "It doesn't need to be there, it's not too far anyway, let's go over."
Chang Chai smiled and said, "It's hard to walk if it's so heavy snow, one step deep and one step shallow."
Luo Lie said: "You regard me as a young man who lives a pampered life."
Chang Chai said: "Wait for me." He walked out with his bag on his back, but Luo Lie did not stop him. He could only stand under the eaves, take off his hat and dust off the snow on it.
Chang Chai didn't go for too long, but soon ran back and laughed at Luo Lie and said, "Mr. Luo, go!"
Luo Liedao: "Have you found the car so soon?"
Chang Chai nodded and brought Luo Lie outside. Luo Lie just realized that the one waiting for them was actually a carriage. Chang Chai smiled and said, "In fact, I have arranged to pick up the station in advance, and they came a little late." The Manchurian branch of the Thieves Sect is in Fengtian. Luo Lie is Uncle Fu's apprentice, and he himself did not realize that his status in the Thieves Sect had improved a lot.
The two got on the carriage, and Luo Lie asked the coachman to take them to Xiaobai Building on Jinyuan Road first, which is Ye Qinghong's property in Fengtian. She originally planned to come with her daughter, but now only Luo Lie comes.
The carriage sent them to the gate of Xiaobai Building. Luo Lie got out of the carriage. Chang Chai took the lead to help him pick up the box and asked the coachman to leave. Before the carriage left, a pile of hot horse manure left on the road in front of the door. Chang Chai smiled and said, "A flattery sounds, gold is ten thousand taels, a good omen, a good omen!"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "You have to say any cheap words."
He opened the door and had no one lived here for a long time. Luo Lie actually brought the key, but since he learned how to pry the door and lock it with Uncle Fu, he didn't want to use it even if he had the key.
When Chang Chai saw Luo Lie open the door skillfully, he couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that this is not your home?"
Luo Lie had already opened the door: "Yes, but I want to try how this door lock is."
Chang Chai said: "The door lock is good, but unfortunately it can't stop you. No wonder Mr. Luo, Uncle Fu, accepted you as a closed disciple. Have you practiced it in the past?"
Luo Lie shook his head, took off his coat and hung it on the clothes hanger. Chang Chai saw that although the room had been uninhabited for a long time, the ground was still very clean. He took off his shoes like Luo Lie, took out a pair of cotton from the shoe cabinet and dragged it on.
Luo Lie said: "It seems that we both need to sort out here well."
Chang Chai said: "Mr. Luo, I'll go clean now."
Luo Lie pointed to the fireplace and said, "I'll go and raise the fire first."
After more than an hour of tidying up, the room was cleaned up, and the fireplace was raised. I sat in front of the burning fireplace and felt a little hungry. Luo Lie said, "I forgot the most important thing, go and have a meal."
Chang Chai was very familiar with Fengtian. He took Luo Lie to find a dumpling restaurant nearby, ordered a few plates of side dishes, put a pound of pickled cabbage dumplings, burned a pot of wine, sat on the small kang, and drank a few glasses of wine, and felt hot immediately on his body.
Chang Chai said: "Mr. Luo, Liu Honggen from the branch here wants to meet you." Liu Honggen is the leader of the branch of Manchuria, and Luo Lie is Fu Bo's apprentice. When he came to Manchuria, he should have a visit to him for reason. Luo Lie said: "Is it a problem for me?"
Chang Chai said: "I respect you not me, but I am Uncle Fu."
Luo Lie laughed when he heard this. Chang Chai was speaking in a straightforward manner. Indeed, if it weren't for Uncle Fu's apprentice, who would have given him face? But since the person proposed it, if he insisted on not seeing each other and was a little unkind, Luo Lie nodded and said, "You make arrangements, there will be nothing happening in the past two days."
Chang Chai said: "Then let's go tonight. I will notify you when he has decided on the specific place. Otherwise, if you have any place you want to go, I will ask him to locate it."
Luo Lie said: "Minghu Chun."
Chang Chai said: "Mr. Luo is really an expert."
In fact, Luo Lie did not pay special attention to diet. It was just that when he first came to Fengtian, Ye Qinghong had a treat in Minghuchun, and that meal left a deep impression on him.
After lunch, Luo Lie went to Luoshi Wooden Factory. If Zhang Changgong came back, he would definitely settle here first. Now the gate of Luoshi Wooden Factory was locked. Luo Lie opened the door lock and walked into it. Seeing that there were still many unsold coffins in the yard, he couldn't help but remember the scene of Luo Xingmu pretending to be a god and a ghost when he first came here. The past was gone, and Luo Xingmu also died in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm of Pale Mountain.
The snow was still falling, but Luo Lie saw a few footprints from the snow. He couldn't help but be stunned. The wooden factory had been closed for a long time, so why would there be footprints? Judging from the footprints, it shouldn't be long before. Luo Lie suddenly became alert. He looked around and saw no figure. When he looked at the room where Luo Xingmu lived in the past, the lock on the door was also opened, and it was obvious that someone sneaked into it.
Even thieves rarely go to the coffin shop to steal things. Luo Lie gently pushed open a crack in the door and looked inward from the gap. There was no one in the room. He turned around and looked around at the coffins in the courtyard. Suddenly, Luo Lie suddenly rushed into the room at the fastest speed. While he activated his steps, gunfire and Luo Lie rushed into the room at an astonishing speed. He shot dense bullets on the door, making dozens of holes. After Luo Lie fell to the ground in the living room, his body rolled on the spot, away from the door.
The snow light penetrated through the holes left by the bullet, leaving traces of light inside the room.
Three figures lifted the lid of the coffin and jumped out from inside. They aimed at the hut with submachine guns in their hands. Another round of shooting began, with red gun flames ejected from the muzzle, bullets shot through the door and the windows, pouring into the room.
Luo Lie lay on the ground. At this moment, his body was covered with shreds of paper and wood chips. He took out a flying knife and waved his hand to project it out. This was his newly forged flying knife. The flying knife was different from the conventional shape, but the crescent shape, and the flying knife flew out in a rotating manner.
The three gunmen who wrapped themselves were still firing wildly, without any notice of the flying knife that was spinning and flying. The flying knife flew across the wrists of the three, and the flying knife that passed by at high speed dragged out a bright red bloodline. The three were in pain, and two of their guns fell to the ground, and one of them did not land because the gun was hung on their body, but the bloody fascia of the right hand could not hold the gun.
Luo Lie broke out of the window and rushed towards the three people like a vehem. He punched the three people to the ground one after another, took off their weapons and threw them aside. Luo Lie aimed at them with the snatched submachine gun and said coldly: "Say! Who sent you here?"
The three of them were in the same posture, covering their bleeding right wrist with their left hand. Luo Lie pulled open the scarf on one of them, but found that this person was Huang Guangming, the fifth leader of Langya Village. Luo Lie had dealt with him when he went to Lingtian Castle.
Luo Lie said: "So it's you!"
Huang Guangming gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to kill, kill me, are you afraid of you?"
Luo Lie said: "What are you doing here? To kill me?"
Huang Guangming said: "How do we know you are coming..." They came here not to kill Luo Lie.
Luo Lie also knew that they should have just met him by chance, but they must have another purpose when they came to Luoshi Wood Factory, perhaps they wanted to find something related to Luo Xingmu. Luo Lie said: "Then what are you doing? I honestly explain, I might let you go."
Huang Guangming said: "It's not a secret anyway. We came here to find Luo Xingmu's treasure map."
Luo Lie sighed in his heart, it was because people died for money and birds died for food. Luo Xingmu had been dead for so long, but there were still people who were thinking about his treasure map in the past. In fact, the treasure map may not really exist. Even if it was there, they could not find it.
Luo Lie said: "Get out! There is no treasure map here, so don't come here again in the future, otherwise I will never spare you."
The three bandits obviously did not expect Luo Lie to let them go so easily. They were both surprised and happy in their hearts. They crawled up from the ground with pain and hurriedly left Luoshi Wooden Factory.
Luo Lie was worried that the gunshots would attract the police, but the sound of firecrackers sounded nearby. After waiting for a while, no police came over. Luo Lie thought to himself that it seemed that it was the sound of firecrackers. At this moment, heavy snow had covered the blood in the courtyard.
Luo Lie went to the room to take a look. The three bandits turned the room into a mess, but they didn't even find Luo Xingmu's former secret room, let alone a treasure map.
Liu Honggen has booked a seat in Minghuchun and waited for Luo Lie to arrive. He and Luo Lie did not know each other, but the fact that Fu Uncle has accepted disciples has been widely circulated within the thief. Everyone who knows Fu Uncle knows that the old man's admission of disciples this time is not just as simple as it seems. Liu Honggen even thought that Fu Uncle might have the intention to make Luo Lie the leader. As for the Manchu branch, he is loyal to Fu Uncle. Liu Honggen is also a talent selected by Fu Uncle himself in the past two years. He has received guidance from Fu Uncle in the thief, but he has no luck being included in the sect wall by Fu Uncle.
Therefore, Liu Honggen was curious and envious of Luo Lie. What kind of person was attracted to by Uncle Fu, and he made an exception to accept him as his disciple, and he was a closed disciple. Liu Honggen had heard of some stories about Luo Lie and knew what happened in Huangpu. It was precisely because of this that he felt that Uncle Fu's admission of his disciple must have been carefully considered and had to show considerable courage.
Liu Honggen is considered to be the most staunch supporter of the Fu Bo faction, but this faction of Fu Bo is out of place with the support of Zheng Wanren. It is precisely because of Fu Bo's persistence that Chen Haodong has not been able to become the leader of the sect as he wishes.
Luo Lie and Chang Chai arrived in Minghuchun on time. Liu Honggen was younger than Luo Lie imagined. He was thirty-five years old, with a medium figure and a simple appearance. The most attractive thing was his palms, which were slender and fair, and he was not as good as someone like him, as if he had been grafted.
