Laughing, the host always wants to escape

Chapter 171: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (14)

Hearing their conversation, Tang Cuo moved closer to Jiang Sichen and whispered, "Is this true? This old man can't be..."

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so." Tang Cuo pursed his lips.

"Then it's not." Jiang Sichen said in a gentle voice, "If you think it's not, then it's not."

"What are you two talking about? You look so happy?" Before he finished speaking, Yu Feng squeezed in from somewhere and stood on the other side of Tang Cuo.

Seeing his figure, Jiang Sichen clenched his palms slightly and his face immediately became gloomy.

"Don't treat me like this. Young Master Jiang didn't have this expression when I wasn't here. Could it be that he can't stand me?" Yu Feng said with interest.

"No, he has this expression to everyone. Don't mind it, Young Master Yu. He means no ill will, and he doesn't mean to dislike you." Tang Cuo felt the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, going back and forth.

"Yes, I just can't stand you. What? Do you want to die?" Jiang Sichen said in a cold tone. He then raised his hand and pulled Tang Cuo to his side, distanced himself from Yu Feng.

"..."

No, brother, if you don't like someone, are you always so direct? Are you really not afraid of being beaten to death...

"Heh." Yu Feng chuckled, "Then what should I do? I just want to walk with you guys. If you really can't stand me, why don't you kill me?" He said jokingly.

"Okay, you two, the old lady is missing. Should we chase her?" Tang Cuo changed the subject in time and raised his hand to point towards the opposite side.

His words also inspired the people who were arguing behind him. They all raised their eyes and looked towards the place they had just been at. As expected, they found that the old woman was gone.

"What should we do now?"

"Don't worry about her. Let's leave here as soon as possible. It will be more dangerous here after dark." Old Xu said.

When several people heard his words, they looked at each other and said, "Okay, let's do as Mr. Xu said."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone continued to move forward. Tang Cuo was about to follow the team when Jiang Sichen grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't move. We are not going with them."

"why?"

"They can't get out, and they will come back to find us later." Yu Feng raised his hand to brush away the hair on his forehead and said softly.

"Then where are we going now? Just stand here?" Tang Cuo curled his lips.

"Let's go find the old lady we met just now." Jiang Sichen replied after hearing his words.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Tang Cuo and walked in the opposite direction. Yu Feng, who was standing by, saw this and followed the two of them.

"Mr. Yu, why did you say they couldn't get out?" Tang Cuo suddenly remembered what he had just said and asked in confusion.

"Someone has set up a maze in the village. If there's no one to lead us, a few of us will never be able to get out." He chuckled, with a hint of contempt in his tone.

"Uh..." There's no need to be so direct.

"Then do you know who set up the maze?" Tang Cuo raised his voice a little, seeming to be very interested in this matter.

"You ask Brother Jiang. He's so powerful, I think he should know who it is." Yu Feng easily threw the question out, "But whether he wants to tell you or not, I can't say for sure."

Hearing his words, Tang Cuo turned his head and looked at Jiang Sichen, "Brother Jiang, do you know?"

"Yes, I set it up when I traveled here a few years ago."

Oh? So exciting...

"why?"

"At that time, people often disappeared here quietly. When I came here, I checked the reason and found that the Baihuan Sect sent people to take away many children or women."

"So you set up the maze to prevent them from arresting people? That's a good thing..." Tangcuo smiled, "In that case, the destruction of the Baihuan Sect is not unfair."

Hearing his words, Jiang Sichen curled the corners of his lips but didn't say anything.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived in front of a manor. The mahogany gate was closed and two big red lanterns were hung on the beams at the door, which looked very festive.

"That's it?"

"Yes, this is it." Jiang Sichen stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, "Knock knock knock." After four knocks, he retreated to Tang Cuo's side.

"Knock four times? I remember knocking on the door three times, right?" Tang Cuo frowned as he watched his movements.

"Of course other people knock on the door three times, only ghosts knock on the door four times..." Yu Feng whispered in his ear.

Hearing his words, Tangcuo suddenly got goose bumps all over his body. He swallowed and his chest rose and fell more violently.

"I'm just kidding. You little white rabbit are really timid. Knocking four times might just be a signal agreed upon by the owner and him, or it might just be his personal habit. Don't be afraid." Yu Feng laughed, then raised one hand and patted him on the shoulder.

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Sichen on the side suddenly stretched out his hand, tightly grasped Yu Feng's neck, and then lifted him up, "Mr. Yu, didn't I warn you to be sensible in doing things?"

"Hey? Why did you start fighting?" Tang Cuo held Jiang Sichen's sleeve with one hand, "Brother Jiang, calm down and let go first... Let's talk it over."

Jiang Sichen's eyes became darker, as if he didn't hear what he said at all.

Seeing that Jiang Sichen didn't react at all, Tang Cuo turned his head towards him with both hands, "Brother Jiang, calm down..."

As his eyes gradually focused, Jiang Sichen slowly let go of his hand and casually threw him aside.

Yu Feng, who was freed from his restraints, put one hand on his neck, then took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, let me remind you that you can have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others..."

"Ah? Is that what you mean?" Tang Cuo's eyes twitched.

With a creaky sound, the door in front suddenly opened a small crack, and then a pair of eyes looked out cautiously.

After seeing the person coming again, the mahogany door suddenly opened, and the old woman just walked out tremblingly, and then a strange scene happened.

Her back, which had been hunched just now, was now straightened, and she even carried the cane on her shoulders. She looked at the three people with a smile and said, "Come in."

"Ah? Is she the old woman from before? She looks healthier than me..." Tang Cuo's eyes widened.

"Let's talk inside." Jiang Sichen pulled Tang Cuo's sleeve and walked into the yard.

It seemed that my mother-in-law was the only one living in the huge yard. It was extremely quiet around her, without any sound.

Inside the main house, the "old woman" sat on a small wooden chair on one side. She looked up at the three people, then threw the cane in her hand forcefully at Yu Feng, "You little bastard, the gust of wind you just stirred up almost took me away..."
