Chapter 182

Chapter 182. Rainy Night Siheyuan

"Mr. Ren, you are here."

"how is the situation?"

"Not bad, Miss Fang has been in for a while."

In the courtyard, Yunxiao and his wife immediately stood up to greet Ren Ping. During this time, Miss Mei's condition improved visibly, and the smiles on their faces became more and more.

Seeing that Ren Ping's body was wet by the rain, he hurriedly invited him into the inner hall to change his clothes.

These trivial matters were presided over by Mo Ganyun. After the two left, Mei Hanxiao stayed in the outer courtyard. Whether intentionally or not, he glanced over the courtyard, and finally landed on Mei Yuan.

Mei Yuan has served Mei's family for nearly 30 years, so she guessed what he was thinking, and immediately stepped forward and bowed down:

"Patriarch, do you want to clean up the debris outside the door now?"

"No hurry, have you found out who it is?"

"They are all masters of ancient martial arts, their strength is not weak, and some of them are quite well-known figures in the three provinces."

"Oh? They're all from the three southeastern provinces?"

Mei Hanxiao raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised: "At the border of Nanling in Jiangning Province, experts from Longquan, Xunyang, and Qinchuan provinces all arrived, but they made no sound. They didn't even inform their local comrades."

"This matter will be spread in the future, and people will think that my surname Mei is not good at etiquette, and I am here to find trouble."

Said slightly sneered.

Despite Mei Hanxiao's appearance, he is a mature and steady person who doesn't seem to get angry very much. In fact, in recent years, he has been worrying about his beloved daughter's serious illness and has developed a habit of keeping his emotions and anger invisible.
Secondly, his own martial art is extremely high, and he is naturally restrained. Unless he meets someone like Ren Ping who has shown great kindness to him, he will not easily express his emotions.

But really speaking, how could it be that the dignified head of the Mei family, who has been secretly frightening the people of the three southeastern provinces for decades, has a weak and devoid of edges?
When Mei Yuan heard this, she knew that Mei Hanxiao was really angry, so she kept her mouth shut.

Recalling the recent time, experts outside the courtyard often came to investigate. They thought it was accidental, for example, it was common for the local experts in Nanling to be alerted by accident, and it was common for them to alert them, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

It wasn't until later that the other party's behavior became more and more unscrupulous, especially after Miss Mei's condition turned around, and it became clear that it was a planned arrangement, and then she realized that something was wrong.

Although there are many people in the courtyard, famous doctors from various provinces such as Yunzhong and Miao Fengtai have left one after another some time ago, and the Mei family has always been whereabouts easily, so it is unlikely that they will be discovered.

From this point of view, the target is already obvious, it is Ren Ping, a young man who has just brought the daughter of the Mei family back from the brink of death.

Mei Yuan still doesn't know what the other party's real purpose is. He only knows that choosing to attack Ren Ping at this time is really asking for death, because it is tantamount to declaring war on the Longquan Mei family!
"Who is behind the scenes? What is their purpose? Have you found out?"

Still calm on the surface, Mei Hanxiao asked lightly.

"Not yet, but they probably don't know that the Patriarch and Madam are here, otherwise they wouldn't be so bold, or else the old slave will ask Mr. Ren? And remind him by the way?"

"No, don't you know Mr. Ren?"

"What? He knows?" Mei Yuan was stunned.

"Of course," Mei Hanxiao smiled:
"This Mr. Ren has also practiced ancient martial arts. Although he is not advanced, he is not blind and deaf. He was kept in the dark. He deliberately led the other party here. Guess why?"

Mei Yuan paused for a moment before realizing:

"Of course you want to ask our Mei family for help?"

"That's right. First, he trusts us and wants us to help him. Second, he probably wants to take the opportunity to investigate our details and see if the mysterious Longquan Mei family is as scary as the rumors say."

Mei Hanxiao guessed Ren Ping's intentions very early on, but he didn't look angry, but admired.

After all, Mei Yuan was a little slow, and smiled after fully awakening:

"I understand the Patriarch, no matter what Mr. Ren's purpose is, since he trusts us, we must not let him down, otherwise the Longquan Mei family will be ashamed to walk in the same way in the future."

"Well, it's good that you understand, let's set it up, take care of it, and don't disturb the needlework in the inner hall."

"The old slave knows."

After a brief explanation, Mei Yuan quickly went to the outer courtyard to set up.

It was already night at this time, Ren Ping walked casually in the courtyard after changing and washing his clothes, although he saw Mei Yuan secretly arranging staff, but he just didn't know, he didn't even ask a question.

After a while, he entered the inner courtyard and sat quietly outside Miss Mei's room.

In the past few days of practicing needles, Fang Xiaowan has already mastered Shu Dao needles so well that she no longer needs to be instructed, and her personality is soft and oily, coaxing Miss Mei to be like a best friend. I don't know how cooperative she is. It is progressing smoothly.

At first, I heard her ask Ren Ping for some key acupuncture points and techniques through the door, but later she ignored the new master and just chatted and laughed with Ms. Mei in the room, joking while performing acupuncture. .

Ren Ping was bored outside the door, and when Fang Xiaowan became more unscrupulous, talking about things like "you're getting bigger on this side" and "you're getting plump on that side", he couldn't help but blush, picked up his chair and went outside Walk.

It happened that Yunxiao and his wife bought tables, chairs and Go at the entrance of the inner courtyard, so they invited him to play chess while enjoying the rain.

"To tell you the truth, Patriarch Mei, the chess skills I play can only be described as rotten. It's really not good to make a fool of myself in front of you."

"Maybe, tonight is mainly about enjoying the rain, and playing chess is just for fun, and to enhance the atmosphere by the way."

Mei Hanxiao smiled faintly, and asked him to sit across from him. Mo Ganyun didn't even serve the table, but stood behind her husband with a pretty smile.

Seeing that he couldn't shirk, Ren Ping had no choice but to sit down. Originally, there were various selections of chess records in the system that could be used for reference, but he thought it was unnecessary, so he let it go.

Fortunately, Mei Hanxiao was very good at chess, knowing that he would play whatever he wanted, so he also dropped a few ranks, and entangled with the moves. It really looked like a golden iron horse, full of silent kills.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier. It is rare to see such heavy rain in Nanling in autumn. Ren Ping lost a round and lost a few games, and then he realized:

"Master Mei, just now you said that you wanted to enhance the atmosphere by the way, did you mean that there is a good show tonight?"

"What does Mr. Ren think?" Mei Hanxiao didn't raise his eyes.

After a while, the two had a tacit understanding and couldn't help but smile at each other.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, while they were playing chess and enjoying the rain in the courtyard, dozens of people were gathering in the jungle outside the courtyard.

These people were of different heights, young and old, but when they stood in the jungle, they were all so majestic, even compared to the dense and tall trees beside them.

The most unbelievable thing is that dozens of people look like a group, but deliberately keep a distance from each other, as if they are self-serving.

Standing directly in front of him was a middle-aged man with a half-bald head. He knew that although he was the leader, he was only in name, and in fact he was unable to restrain the accomplices around him at all.

Fortunately, the matter was temporary and the difficulty was not too great, so I didn't bother to pay attention to it. After a long pause, seeing the rain getting heavier, I smiled:

"Everyone, Mr. Du has explained the specifics. I won't talk nonsense, brothers. In a quarter of an hour, everyone will fight together. Whoever gets the head will get the 5000 million yuan. Don't you have any opinions?"

When the words fell, no one responded, which showed that the rest of the people were not very convinced.

After a while, there were a few sneers that were neither high nor low:
"Everyone understands the rules, Lao Kang, so don't waste your time talking."

"That's right, whoever doesn't obey the rules, don't hang out with his colleagues, and the rest of the people will join in the attack. There hasn't been such a shameful thing on Sanxing Highway for many years."

"Old Kang! You only care about talking, do you think you are the leader? They only asked you to scout and lead the way, but they didn't ask you to give orders!"
