Chapter 133 The Chu Family's Conspiracy! Strange!

"Zhou Zhengtang! Don't be too happy yet! Humph! You'll have your day to cry!"

However, before leaving, Chu Tian looked at Zhou Zhengtang, who was standing on the stage with his hands behind his back, and a playful smile appeared on his face once again.

But when he saw Zhou Zhengtang's gaze, he quickly turned around and left Qingyan Manor.

As the Chu family members left, all the remaining members of the Zhou family guards erupted in cheers and applause.

Forcing the Chu family to leave in this way and resolving the trouble is the best possible outcome.

"Brother Su, thank you so much for tonight!"

Zhou Zhengtang also joined the line with the contract in hand. He clasped his hands in thanks to Su Hao.

If Su Hao hadn't intervened tonight, that bald, burly man from the Chu family would have been unstoppable.

If the opponent wins two games in a row, then no matter how confident he is in defeating Chu Tian tonight, he will still lose!

Fortunately... luck always favors the honest.

"This is what I should do, it's my duty!"

Su Hao smiled slightly.

"But since the Chu family gave up the ironwood stakes so easily, could they be holding back some kind of trick up their sleeve?"

Su Hao was also somewhat curious.

After all, he had never been involved in these family businesses before, so he didn't know anything about them.

"Don't worry! They wouldn't dare refuse. Otherwise, if this official document reached the imperial court, they'd be in deep trouble!"

Zhou Zhengtang chuckled, "I had already guessed that Chu Tian would pull this stunt, which is why I prepared this official document template. This thing is an official document recognized by the government!"

"Brother Zhou handles things flawlessly; he's truly admirable and worthy of respect!"

Upon hearing these words, Su Hao's expression immediately became respectful, and he clasped his hands in a gesture of flattery.

The others were confused for a moment, but when they heard Su Hao's flattery, they all chimed in.

"Get out of here! You rascal!"

Zhou Zhengtang waved his hand and cursed.

He knew in his heart that Su Hao must have done this on purpose.

This guy sometimes likes to joke around and make people laugh in serious situations.

"Shouldn't we go check out Qingzhi Valley now?"

Su Hao smiled slightly and asked again.

Judging from the way Chu Tian left earlier, and considering that so much time has passed, if the Chu family had arranged for someone to go to Qingzhi Valley to do something, then absolutely no one would know.

"Yes! Let's set off now!"

Zhou Zhengtang nodded immediately.

The most urgent task now is indeed to go to Qingzhi Valley to see the specific situation.

call out! !

However, just as everyone was about to head directly to Qingzhi Valley, a red firework rose into the sky not far from Qingyan Manor!

Red fireworks exploded, flashing red light that illuminated the faces of everyone in the courtyard!

This caused everyone's gaze to freeze instantly!

"Oh no! Green Ganoderma Valley!!"

Zhou Zhengtang's expression changed instantly. He reacted immediately and rushed out of the manor without hesitation, heading towards Qingzhi Valley.

Su Hao also frowned. The direction from which the signal flare had been launched was clearly the location where Chu Tian and the others had left.

Their decision to send out a signal flare shortly after leaving clearly indicates that they were notifying others.

These people are very likely hiding in Qingzhi Valley!

Watching Zhou Zhengtang's retreating figure, Su Hao shook his head, then followed suit, taking off after him.

It seems that tonight's events are not as simple as I imagined.

……

Yanshan City, Yueshan Boxing Hall.

In the snowy night, a sliver of dim yellow light shone through the window, casting a hazy yellow glow on the snow.

A cold wind blew, and a few snowflakes drifted in through the window.

It landed on the nib of a pen that had paused beneath the candlestick.

"A late-night visit, have you discovered something?"

Liu Chongshan put down his pen and looked out the window into the darkness.

It was still dark outside the window, with only the whistling of the wind; otherwise, there seemed to be nothing at all.

Liu Chongshan was not in a hurry and sat quietly waiting.

As a cold wind blew in, the candlelight in the room flickered, and the room dimmed.

Once the candlelight had stabilized, a letter with messy handwriting appeared on the table.

"It seems like as we go on, all sorts of things will come one after another..."

Liu Chongshan sighed softly, then picked up the letter in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and rubbed it hard, turning the letter into powder that scattered everywhere.

"After planning this for so long, shouldn't it be time to come to a conclusion?"

Liu Chongshan muttered to himself, then got up and closed the window tightly.

After doing all this, he stepped to the bedside, squatted down, and pulled out an old, dusty iron box from under the bed.

"How long has it been...? It must have been over ten years since I last opened it. I thought I'd never need it again, but I never expected it to come back..."

Liu Chongshan's gaze was complicated as he touched the dust and rust on the iron box.

He pried the key out of a floor tile below, inserted it into the lock, and with a crisp metallic clanging sound, the metal box clicked open.

Unlike the outside, which is full of signs of age, the contents of the iron box are still very new and clean, and are arranged in an orderly manner, as if they were just tidied up yesterday.

It was an exquisite set of metal inner armor, a set of black, finely crafted sleeve darts, a small black bottle, and a pair of metal gauntlets.

Liu Chongshan stroked the contents inside, seemingly feeling the memories transmitted through his fingertips.

After a moment, his eyes hardened, and he took out the items inside and began to put them on.

As he donned the equipment, an invisible killing intent quietly emanated from him.

...

Yanshan, Qingzhi Valley.

In the darkness, a dozen figures were hurrying along the winding mountain road. Although they did not light torches, each of them could clearly see the road beneath their feet, which did not affect each other's speed.

Puff puff puff!!

A figure suddenly leaped through the snow that reached above the calves and landed on a large tree covered with fallen snow.

Looking down into the distance, one sees a long, narrow valley.

Then, through the moonlight refracted by the snowy night, one could see five or six wooden buildings in the valley, with lights still on.

"The light is still on, so it seems like everything is alright."

A figure stepped out from beside Zhou Zhengtang, then leaped up and stood at the top of the tree to survey the valley ahead.

"I hope so... but I see the lights on the watchtower are off..."

Zhou Zhengtang shook his head, his brows furrowed.

You have to understand that the lights in the watchtower, especially the visible ones, have to be on all night.

Now that place has been destroyed, it means that the watchtower must have been destroyed either because the sentry was asleep or because the lamp oil had run out.

Or perhaps the sentry has already...

Zhou Zhengtang didn't want to think about it anymore, because he was also praying for the best outcome.

It's important to understand that Qingzhi Valley was acquired by the Zhou and Ren families through a joint effort, at a great cost.

If they cause any trouble at this time, it will definitely be a fatal blow to their business!

At that point, let alone making money, even maintaining normal operations will be a problem.
