Chapter 139 - 101, Gambling with Life_2
They had barely reached Mudan Bridge when the three suddenly stopped.
The old man whispered by the carriage window, "Second Master, we’ve arrived. They are not under the bridge; they are on the bridge."
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Mingxian calmly lifted the curtain and peered out, only to see two figures in the middle of the bridge, each wearing a mask and coldly watching them at the bridgehead.
One wore the face of an ox, the other a tiger.
The Peony Stone Arch Bridge was about thirty zhang long, comprising twenty-four arches, allowing two carriages to pass side by side.
The old man by the carriage gave Xu Can and his brother a look, and the next moment, Xu Can and Xu Chu leaped onto the stone parapets on either side of the arch, stepping closer towards the middle of the bridge.
Rubbing the vermillion Mountain Flower Ghost Money at his waist, the old man strolled leisurely in the middle of the bridge, the three of them moving with the precision of an arrow, until they were only ten steps away from the ox and tiger on the bridge before they slowly stopped.
Liu Mingxian got out of the carriage and walked up behind the old man, locking eyes with the masked figures.
Behind the ox mask, Jin Zhu squinted his eyes. He glanced at the Mountain Flower Ghost Money at the old man’s waist, then shifted his gaze to the strange tattoos on the necks of the two stout men, his body tensing up.
Jin Zhu quietly glanced at Chen Ji, unsure of what Chen Ji had written on the note to summon two killers from the border town that had gone missing a long time ago.
Could it be that Chen Ji had betrayed him and was planning to ambush him with the Liu Family?
