Chapter 8: Trapped in Zhang Mansion

In the blue sky, colorful clouds appeared. Looking up, a figure came from the colorful clouds. A burly figure came from the sky.

A string of dark beads hung around his neck, and he stepped into the air barefoot. Every step he fell into, and the space became shaking. Looking at the man's face carefully, it was like a layer of mist, and I couldn't see clearly.

He held a strange stone in his hand and came into the air! No, it was not a stone! Cheng Geng saw clearly the dark object in the man's hand, which was a hard core.

The man slowly came to Cheng Geng and handed the core to Cheng Geng. Cheng Geng held the core and felt light and fluttering, but he didn't know what this meant?

Looking blankly, the man stretched out his finger on the fruit core, and there was a crackling sound. The fruit core cracked in front of his eyes, and a twisted beard stretched out, with condensed juice, which kept falling on Cheng Geng's arm.

Cheng Geng was surprised and hurriedly put the broken fruit core on the ground. The fruit core was immersed in the ground. A black dead branch continued to grow out, bare.

Cheng Geng curiously looked at the dead branches that almost grew in front of him. A bright red flower appeared, the flower was as blood-colored as it was, slowly showing a strange smile, and several soft tentacles stretched out, curled up towards Cheng Geng.

Cheng Geng was shocked and looked at the man, but found that there was no trace. In a panic, the tentacles had wrapped around Cheng Geng's neck, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free.

The blood-red flower spread its petals and wrapped around Cheng Geng. At this moment, I saw a strange face appearing in the flower. Before Cheng Geng could recall it, the delicate face slowly melted, revealing a withered and dry skull.

Cheng Geng screamed in shock and sat up from the bed. His clothes were soaked with sweat. He looked down and saw that his torn clothes had long disappeared, and his whole body was completely renewed.

Looking at the whole room in a daze, I realized that I was very familiar with it. It was a villa in the Zhang Mansion. I once lived in one of Gu Qiu here. Now I am revisiting the old place, but Yiren has stayed in Iceland.

He recalled this experience and burst into tears. He clearly remembered that when Gu Qiu walked out of Iceland, his body began to wither and finally retreated. He jumped onto the deck and ran away by himself. He remembered Gu Qiu's inhuman cheek and fell into sadness.

"Brother, you haven't told me where my parents have gone. It's been several months, why haven't you seen them?" Zhang Jingfang's voice came, and then the footsteps became clear, obviously they were walking towards here.

"When did you care so much about adults? If I were you, just listen to my mother's words and become a skilled girl. You can't marry someone one day, but my husband's family found out, hey, this woman can't do anything?"

"Zhang Jingrui, what do you mean?" Zhang Jingfang roared, "Don't forget, I am also from the Zhang family, and I have the right to know what my parents are doing."

"When will you change your temper?" Zhang Jingrui said lightly, "It's thanks to being in the mansion. If you are outside, will you still have a reputation in the future? This is a shame to the Zhang family."

"I don't care, I don't care. If you don't tell my parents where they went today, I will pester you."

Zhang Jingrui sighed, "It's up to you, but I'm going to see that person now. If you like it, come with me."

The footsteps walked into the yard. Zhang Jingrui was wearing a military uniform and looked very heroic, followed by Zhang Jingfang with an angry face.

Zhang Jingrui walked into the room and saw Cheng Geng standing in front of the Western mirror with his back facing him. A trace of solemnity flashed in his heart, and he coughed dryly, "Are you awake?"

Cheng Geng did not look back, quietly looking at the haggard face in the mirror, and his messy moustaches made people almost unable to recognize him. He picked up the dagger on the table and slowly placed it under his neck.

"Don't be too impressed?" Zhang Jingfang yelled at Cheng Geng and wanted to go forward to stop him, but was blocked by Zhang Jingrui. Zhang Jingfang said angrily, "Brother, what are you doing? Can't you see? He is going to commit suicide."

Zhang Jingrui didn't say a word, staring at Cheng Geng holding a dagger in his hand. He saw him put the dagger under his neck and shaved his beard bit by bit. Zhang Jingfang suddenly widened his eyes.

After a long time, Cheng Geng put down his dagger and turned around. The cheeks with shaved moustaches revealed the familiar face, but there was a little more wind and frost on this handsome cheek, which became more attractive.

"Not bad." Zhang Jingrui exclaimed.

Cheng Geng said to Zhang Jingfang, "Thank you for saving me this time, otherwise I don't know what would happen."

"No, nothing." Zhang Jingfang thought of the kiss, lowered her head, her cheeks were red and hot, and she glanced at her face, took a few deep breaths, slowly raised her head, but saw Zhang Jingrui staring at him. When he smiled, Zhang Jingfang seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and hurriedly stomped her feet and ran outside.

"I laughed at me, she is like this." Zhang Jingrui looked at Cheng Geng who was puzzled, then looked at Zhang Jingfang's disappearing figure, and was a little lost, and said seriously, "Where is my parents? What happened? Why did you come back alone?"

Cheng Geng remembered the note Mu Xiancui had given him, so he hurriedly turned around and searched around, but he never saw the clothes and said to Zhang Jingrui in a panic, "Where is my clothes? Clothes?"

Zhang Jingrui saw Cheng Geng's appearance and knew it was important, so he hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the clothes? It must be that the servant put them away."

"Where is the note that your mother left for you?"

"The note left for me." Zhang Jingrui recalled Cheng Geng's words, and suddenly a figure flashed and appeared beside Cheng Geng, grabbed his collar and said angrily, "Tell me, tell me, what happened? Where is my father and my mother?"

"I don't know either." Cheng Geng struggled for a few times and coughed violently, "I really don't know."

"You lied to me, how could you guys go out together, how could you not know?"

Cheng Geng breathed hard, "When I came out, Iceland was in high tide, and I really didn't know whether they were alive or dead."

Zhang Jingrui let go of his hand, sat decadently on the ground, and murmured, "I don't know whether it's life or death."

Cheng Geng coughed and said, "Iceland is too dangerous. When it was inside, your mother gave me a note and asked me to hand it over to you. I put it in the skin of the clothes."

Zhang Jingrui stood up, rushed out of the yard, and kept shouting, "Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju..."

Cheng Geng lay on the ground, panting, slowly stood up from the ground and walked outside. A scent of flowers hit him, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

In a moment, Zhang Jingrui walked in with Cheng Geng's torn clothes and threw it to Cheng Geng. Cheng Geng took it casually, turned it on his trouser legs, and a sewn mezzanine appeared. Cheng Geng opened it and took out the sealed note and handed it to Zhang Jingrui.

Zhang Jingrui took the note and opened it tremblingly, looking at the handwriting on it, like five thunders thunder, standing in the yard.

The note reads: Don’t think of words when you see them, military is the priority, and act expediently, and replace them. The Cao Gang is in a treacherous way, so beware of the elders.

Cheng Geng remembered Mu Xiancui's previous words and hurriedly said, "Your mother asked me to tell you that the elder of the Cao Gang assists you, Anxi Wuyou."

Zhang Jingrui looked at the handwriting on the note and fell into deep thought. After a long time, tears flowed down his face. "What else did they say?"

Cheng Geng shook his head and said, "No more, but when we separated, the governor's legs were getting better, but it always felt strange."

Zhang Jingrui put away the note and looked at Cheng Geng, "No one can disclose this matter."

Cheng Geng nodded, but from Zhang Jingrui's appearance, he saw a strong murderous intent. If someone knew that Governor Zhang was missing, Anxi would definitely be in chaos, and even all the warlord forces might attack him.

What is left for Zhang Jingrui now is a big mess. If you can't handle it well, you may not be able to hold back your ancestral property, and even put the entire Anxi into turmoil.

"When can I leave the Zhang Mansion?" Cheng Geng asked.

Zhang Jingrui looked at him, "No now."

Cheng Geng thought to himself, "Zhang Jingrui must be afraid that I will leak Zhang Xiaolin's news." He hurriedly said, "If possible, I want to leave as soon as possible."

"I have told you that you can't leave now. Haven't you heard it clearly?" Zhang Jingrui was trembling all over, trying his best to suppress his anger.

"You are afraid that I will reveal the secret of Governor Zhang." Cheng Geng stared at Zhang Jingrui and said word by word, "You want to kill me."

Zhang Jingrui said angrily, "Don't force me."

Cheng Geng laughed, "There are only dead people in this world who can keep secrets."

"You are right." Zhang Jingrui pulled out the gun from his waist, put it in the chamber, and headed towards Cheng Geng. "This matter is very important and will affect the situation in Anxi. I have no choice."

Cheng Geng smiled, "Why do you have to find yourself a high-sounding reason? You just can't believe me."

"Yes, who can trust this world?" Zhang Jingrui approached Cheng Geng and said, "Only when you die, this secret can completely disappear. I need to keep it confidential. I need time to prepare to ensure that I take over Anxi government affairs."

"Come on, hurry up." Cheng Geng closed his eyes. He thought of Gu Qiu. When he escaped, Gu Qiu's eyes were left behind, like a knife, piercing him hard in his heart, making him feel ashamed. "I didn't die there, but dying in your hands is also a kind of relief."

"What are your last words that you can say and I can take you to complete." Zhang Jingrui said coldly, "I will definitely do what I promised."

Cheng Geng closed his eyes and said, "I am alone and have no worries, but I am sorry for my ancestors."

Zhang Jingrui twitched, stared at Cheng Geng, held the snatching hand, and trembled, as if he was hesitating.

"elder brother."

"Bang"

The gunshot rang out. Zhang Jingfang rushed in and shouted, "Don't kill him." She ran up and pushed Zhang Jingrui away. She hurriedly checked, but found that Cheng Geng was not seriously injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Geng opened his eyes and stared at Zhang Jingrui in front of him in confusion.

Zhang Jingfang said angrily, "Brother, why do you want to kill him?"

Zhang Jingrui put away his short gun, and his former elegant appearance changed suddenly, and he changed his entire person. He stared at Zhang Jingfang and said, "You can't be willful anymore, why are you still like a child?"

The anxious footsteps rushed over, and several tiger guards broke in and looked at Zhang Jingrui and said, "Young Master, what happened?"

Zhang Jingrui's face was gloomy and looked at Zhang Jingfang, "Starting today, you guys will keep this place for me. If this person in front of me leaves the Zhang Mansion, you will apologize for death."

The Hu Ben Guard had never seen Zhang Jingrui's expression like this. He stood on the spot in an instant and quickly saluted, "Yes."

Zhang Jingrui walked outside and stopped the trail, "If he wants to leave, you can kill him first if necessary. If the eldest lady does it intentionally, I will ensure that I take this person's life first, and I am concerned about other things."

The meaning of his words is that even if Zhang Jingfang wants to take Cheng Geng with him, he must first make sure that he can take Cheng Geng's life, and you can ignore anything else.

Zhang Jingfang looked at the strange brother blankly, "Brother, you..." She couldn't help crying, then stomped her feet and ran outside.

Zhang Jingrui looked at her leaving back and twitched, turned around and stared at Cheng Geng and said, "You are lucky, but I hope you can continue to be so lucky." He left the yard.

Cheng Geng rubbed his deafening ears. Today he was a death-lost. For some reason, when he remembered Zhang Jingfang's appearance just now, he recalled the first kiss with her in his mind, and his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

He shook his head vigorously, abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart, walked into the room, lay on the bed, stared at the beam, and started to daze. He slowly fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but I felt someone pushing me. When I opened my eyes, it was Zhang Jingfang.

"Why are you?" Cheng Geng sat up from the bed.

"I saved you." Zhang Jingfang blinked, "Tell me, what happened? My brother is going to kill you?" She exhaled like orchids, and her body exuded a faint fragrance.

Cheng Geng got off the bed and stood up straight and stretched, "Do your brother know you're here to ask me about these?"

"He." Zhang Jingfang said, "If he knows, what can he do? I'm not afraid of him."

"You'd better go back." Cheng Geng moved his muscles and never looked at Zhang Jingfang.

Zhang Jingfang ran towards Cheng Geng, grabbed Cheng Geng's collar, and said angrily, "Do you say it or not? If you don't say it, I will, I will..."

Cheng Geng smiled, "What do you do? Could you kill me too?" He didn't care at all.

Zhang Jingfang raised his pink fist, "If you don't say it, I will beat you up."

Cheng Geng was stunned, laughed loudly, reached out and grabbed Zhang Jingfang's hand, and slapped him in the chest, "As long as you feel comfortable, come on, just treat it as your reward for saving me."

"Oh, why are you so annoying to change now?" Zhang Jingfang let go of Cheng Geng's collar and stomped his feet, "I'm just wondering. My brother has always been a mother-in-law's mother. Why did he become like a different person after being with you today?"

Cheng Geng sat on the chair, feeling bored after several life and death. Looking at Zhang Jingfang's appearance, Cheng Geng felt soft and wanted to tell Zhang Jingfang the truth, but for some reason, after seeing Zhang Jingfang's face, the impulse disappeared. He really didn't want to see the beauty in front of him who was heartbroken because she knew the truth.

"How are you willing to say it?" Zhang Jingfang said angrily, "As long as you have something to ask for, I can take it out and it will definitely satisfy you."

Cheng Geng smiled and said, "I think you will be reluctant to leave."

Zhang Jingfang said angrily, "Do you think my brother and I..." She stopped, thinking of Zhang Jingrui today, her decisive look was completely different from the past, and obviously it was no longer suitable for this sentence. She sighed, "Tell me, I can do it, and I will definitely agree."

"I want you to marry me."

Zhang Jingfang stayed there. Cheng Geng laughed loudly, lie on the bed with his hands, and closed his eyes. Cheng Geng heard Zhang Jingfang's steps disappear into the room.
