Chapter 547 Don't Chop!

Cheng Zimo was very obedient. After realizing that the two people in front of him were not human traffickers, all his anger subsided. He didn't know what he had gotten himself into, nor did he want to ask, nor could he ask, nor did he dare to ask. He only knew that the other party was not a killer, and unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't take his life. This was actually enough.

"Gulp~"

Cheng Zimo's stomach growled. Er Gou turned to look at him, and Chen Zimo gave a wry smile, "I haven't eaten dinner yet!"

Er Gou tied him to a pillar. Given his sensible behavior, he didn't tie his limbs or gag his mouth.

Seeing his stomach rumble from hunger, Er Gou took a steamed bun from the steamer and threw it to him.

Cheng Zimo took it, looked at the plump white steamed bun in his hand, and then looked at Er Gou, saying, "I have silver on me. Give it to you, and can you get me some meat or vegetables?"

"So troublesome!"

Er Gou complained, but he nimbly took the silver from Cheng Zimo's embrace, stood up, took out the beef chunks that the cook had marinated yesterday, and cut a small plate for him.

"Here, eat!"

Exchanging ten taels of silver for a plate of beef made Cheng Zimo's heart ache. But when you are under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. It was already a benevolent act that they didn't take the money and deny him meat.

As he ate, he thought that the two people in front of him might not be good people, but they were definitely not too bad.

The cook propped her chin with her hand, looking at Er Gou and then at the unlucky fellow tied to the pillar by them. She couldn't quite understand why Er Gou didn't let her kill him.

But the cook didn't ask. Anyway, if the shopkeeper was present, she would listen to the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper wasn't present, listening to Er Gou was definitely correct!

...

A group of men in black silently scaled into Guangde Building.

"Jingle bell~"

The wind chime hanging in the front hall of Guangde Building rang out with a clear and pleasant sound. He and the cook suddenly stood up. The cook grabbed the cleaver by her side and swung it towards Cheng Zimo's neck.

"Clang~"

Cheng Zimo, startled, knocked over the plate in his hand.

He watched the cold light flash towards him, his mind going blank. At this very moment, as the blade swung down, his heart was filled with terrified questions: Why?

When the blade was only a few inches away from Cheng Zimo's neck, Er Gou grabbed the cook's wrist. The cook looked back at him, her face full of confusion, "He attracted them. He deserves to die!"

Er Gou nodded, but still held her wrist, not letting go. "He is Cheng Chongyu's son!"

When Er Gou took the silver, he saw the jade pendant on his waist. There was a character "Cheng" on the jade pendant. There were many wealthy families surnamed Cheng in Wucheng, but there was only Cheng Chongyu's family among those surnamed Cheng who were in the military.

Cheng Mansion only had the lineage of Cheng Chongyu. Cheng Chongyu's eldest son was a civil official and had been transferred to Jinmen City. Therefore, this傻子 in front of him must, must, and definitely must be Cheng Chongyu's youngest son, Cheng Zimo!

The cook was slightly stunned. She looked down at him, "You are Cheng Zimo?"

Cheng Zimo dared not nod, fearing that the sharp blade would cut his throat. Hearing the conversation between Er Gou and the cook, he almost wept with joy. Father, you said you had no hidden identity, but just your name could save my life, Father! Father, your son has never admired, revered, and adored you as much as he does now!

Father, you are my god!!!

Cheng Zimo internally raised the banner of an idol for his father, but outwardly, he quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, I am Cheng Zimo, Cheng Chongyu's son!"

The cook let out a cry and then moved the cleaver away.

Outside the house, there were footsteps.

On the roof, there were also footsteps.

Er Gou untied the ropes binding Cheng Zimo and pulled him up from the ground, dragging him to the stove. "Hide, and don't make a sound."

"I..."

Chen Zimo wanted to say that he knew martial arts and could help, but as soon as he said "I," Er Gou covered his mouth and pushed him into the place under the stove where firewood was burned.

"Be quiet. With your mediocre skills, don't cause trouble!"

Er Gou was afraid he would show off. Since Wang Xun was willing to go to such lengths to trap and kill Cheng Chongyu, Cheng Chongyu must be a key figure. If they could protect his son, it would be easier to pry open his mouth!

Cheng Zimo felt wronged, but considering their martial arts skills and his own inability to fight back, he instinctively covered his mouth.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to. He was indeed a burden!

"Whoosh~"

Cheng Zimo heard the sound of bricks and tiles falling from the roof onto the ground, followed by the sound of several gusts of wind.

The cook drew her boning knife from under the cutting board and attacked the men in black who had broken into the kitchen from the roof.

Er Gou took the cleaver and turned to fight his way to the door.

Cheng Zimo hid under the stove, only hearing the sounds of weapons clashing, one after another, accompanied by a faint sound of flesh being torn. He heard a muffled groan.

Who was injured?

The palms of his tightly clenched hands began to sweat cold sweat.

This time, the opponents had deployed more than ten people. Although Er Gou and the cook were not weak in martial arts, they could not fight against so many with their bare hands, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Just as they were about to be surrounded by the men in black, suddenly, two voices broke through the window. Ying Wu and Ying Liu forced back the surrounding momentum of the opponents, and the cook and Er Gou let out a sigh of relief.

The arrival of Ying Wu and Ying Liu not only relieved the pressure on the cook and Er Gou but also sounded the horn for counterattack!

"Heavenly Maiden above, believers..."

The men in black retreated steadily. Just as they were about to be defeated, they suddenly began to pray in unison. Ying Wu remembered the Consort's instructions and roared at Ying Liu and the others, "Quick, interrupt their prayers! Don't let them complete their prayers!"

As he spoke, he charged forward. The men in black swung their long sabers, and Ying Wu deflected a long saber with his sword. Another man in black instantly appeared behind Ying Wu.

Ying Wu did not turn to block or evade, but instead charged forward with all his might at the man in black in front of him, taking his life in an exchange of injuries. Then, he turned again and rushed towards the man in black behind him.

Seeing this, Ying Liu no longer defended.

"Madmen, madmen!"

Er Gou yelled as he charged towards the men in black, abandoning his previous caution. His movements became sharp and frenzied.

The cook said nothing, but received more and more wounds on her body.

Under the almost suicidal onslaught of Ying Wu and the others, the last man in black died under the cook's boning knife one second before the prayer ended, dying with regret!

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, except for the heavy panting of the four people from Ying Wu.

Why was there no more sound?

Cheng Zimo pricked up his ears, listening to the sounds outside. Seeing the sudden silence, his heart pounded like a drum. He wanted to crawl out and take a look, but he was afraid that the two people who survived this battle were not those two. His thoughts were in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.
