C1382 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada Unaware of the Oriole Behind(1)

0Zhuge Dongfang turned around and looked at him with a complicated expression. Obviously, he had already understood the meaning of Fann Binn's words. Zhuge Haotian couldn't help but secretly admire Fann Binn. What a good move to sow discord! Since the leader of the guards was very smart and courageous, he dared to force ___ to stay behind and take the initiative without caring about his own life. Then why couldn't he create a barrier between Zhuge Dongfang and the leader of the guards? What if he mistakenly thought that the leader wanted to use someone else to kill him?    

    

In this way, no matter how smart the leader of the guards was, he could only be heartlessly abandoned. After all, a person who dared to use the family head's life as a bargaining chip... If he wasn't killed at his initial stage, he would become an extremely formidable opponent in the future.    

    

As for whether Fann Binn's provocation would make Zhuge Dongfang fall for it, Zhuge Haotian felt that the possibility was very high. A family head, especially a family head like his father. His life was actually used as a bargaining chip by one of his subordinates, as well as an excuse to take the initiative. No matter what, this would create a barrier in his heart, using the life of the family head and the lives of so many elders to place a bet... It was not an exaggeration to say that he had ulterior motives.    

    

"Which elder will come out and tell me the name of this guard leader? And which area is he in charge of?" Zhuge Dongfang said coldly to the elders standing behind him with a cold expression. " I really didn't know that our Zhuge family has such a capable man."    

    

"Chief, this is a man with a different surname from the Zhang family. His name is Zhang Lei. He is the leader of the hundred guards in the south. Due to his good performance, he was promoted because of his serious and responsible work. " Very quickly, the elder in charge of the guards revealed the origin of this leader.    

    

"Zhang Lei... Oh, the outsider who passed the family examination at the age of fifteen? Hmph, you really have something up your sleeves. Even the lives of us... He doesn't care." Zhuge Dongfang said with a cold smile," It seems like this Zhang Lei's horizons are really vast! "    

    

When the elders heard the words of the patriarch, none of them dared to express their opinions. They could only lower their heads and remain silent. When Zhuge Haotian heard this, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart. Should he release him or not? If he released her, perhaps he would be able to avoid being surrounded by this Zhang Lei. However, if he ran into other guards on the way back, he would really have to fight with his life on the line. He had broken out of the encirclement.    

    

However, if he didn't let them go, what would Zhang Lei think in his heart? If he didn't care about the lives of Zhuge Dongfang and the elders, he would annihilate them all. Then, it was only natural that they didn't have a good ending. It was really difficult to make a decision in this dilemma. At the very least, Zhuge Dongfang had started to doubt Zhang Lei's motive. Even if Zhang Lei succeeded in saving Zhuge Dongfang and the others this time, he was afraid that his future life would be very difficult.    

    

"Five minutes have passed. You guys can say your decision now." The leader of the guards, Zhang Lei, looked at his watch and shouted towards them, "If you insist on doing what you want, then don't blame the gun in my hand for not agreeing!"    

    

Zhang Lei's words didn't make Zhuge Haotian and the others nervous. Instead, it made Zhuge Dongfang and the other elders tense up. Zhuge Dongfang gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "This guy is totally not putting our lives in his eyes! What was he trying to do? Is he trying to rebel? "    

    

Fann Binn's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something. He smiled and said. "Zhuge Family Head, if you want to live, I suggest you stand out and say something. Why don't you put some pressure on Zhang Lei and make him give up on attacking? You have to know that if he really has any other thoughts in his mind... Then, your lives will be in vain!"    

    

Zhuge Dongfang was stunned. He thought about it carefully for a while. He took a few steps forward with an ashen face and said to Zhang Lei. "Leader Zhang, what are you trying to do? Do you really want to put me and the elders in an irrecoverable situation? Don't forget, who broke the rules and promoted you, and who gave you the position in the Zhuge family! One must learn to be grateful, and not add insult to injury! "    

    

After Zhang Lei heard Zhuge Dongfang's words, he instantly fell silent. It was obvious that Zhuge Dongfang's words had undoubtedly given him a lot of pressure. However, just when Zhuge Haotian and Fann Binn thought that Zhang Lei was going to compromise, * Hong Long...... *    

    

"Patriarch, I, Zhang Lei, am loyal to the Zhuge family! I have no intention of letting you and the elders down. But today, for the sake of the bigger picture, I can only do this. If you want to kill me, you must wait until the matter is over. I am at my disposal! I am a guard, a guard who protects the safety of the Zhuge family! I absolutely cannot allow any enemy to abduct the Patriarch and elders from under my nose! That is even more painful and painful than killing me! In order to persist in my belief, I will be committing a great crime today. I must also leave these enemies behind!"    

    

Zhang Lei's words shocked everyone. This bastard actually refused the patriarch's order and resisted the pressure from the patriarch? He was merely the leader of a hundred guards, but he dared to speak to the patriarch in such a manner. It was simply unimaginable!    

    

"Madness... This fellow must be crazy!!" Zhuge Dongfang was so angry that his body was trembling. Zhang Lei had already made it very clear to him. Even if he and the elders died here, Zhang Lei would never let Zhuge Haotian, Fann Binn and the others leave this place! Such persistence, if he wasn't crazy, what else could he be?    

    

Zhuge Haotian helplessly revealed a bitter smile and said, "Looks like we encountered a steel nail, a steel nail that is impervious to blades and spears..."    

    

Fann Binn frowned and said somewhat strangely, "Big brother, why do I feel that something is not right? If this Zhang Lei is not mentally ill, how would he dare to reject the orders of his family head like this? Does he really not want to live anymore? "    

    

" What do you mean? " Zhuge Haotian asked in surprise, then smiled bitterly. “ Maybe his way of thinking was different from the others. It was a great contribution to him that he had saved the patriarch. Even if he receives the punishment when he returns, it will be the same as overdoing it. Maybe he was gambling? "    

    

"Maybe... However, do you think he really wants Zhuge Dongfang and these elders to die here? " Fann Binn said, "If we are all killed, who would know that it was Zhang Lei who killed all of them?"    

    

" It can't be... He was just a small leader of the guards. What kind of benefits could he get by killing all of us? I don't think he has the guts, even if he does, his chances of winning aren't very high either." Zhuge Haotian rejected Fann Binn's guess and smiled. "Don't overthink things. He's just a leader. No matter how bold you are, you can't possibly want to replace my father and become the new head of the family, right? "    

    

"Then what you mean is that you plan to release your father and the others?" Fann Binn could see that Zhuge Haotian had the intention of compromising.    

    

"Now that we have met such a young man, what can we do if we don't let him go? As long as Zhang Lei is willing to let us go, we just need to be careful later. If we don't follow the path in the forest, we will soon reach the secret passage we came from. As long as we enter the secret passage, we will be able to get out safely. " Zhuge Haotian shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Fann Binn and said," We should not sacrifice ourselves for no reason. Since Zhang Lei is so determined, then... Alright."    

    

Fann Binn thought for a while and said worriedly, "I have a feeling that something is not right. Otherwise..."    

    

"Time waits for no man. With Zhang Lei's personality, I'm afraid he will really attack soon. With just us, I'm afraid that it will be too difficult to deal with so many guards. No matter what the situation is, we have to give it a try. " Before Fann Binn could finish his words, Zhuge Haotian had already made up his mind. " I don't believe that Zhang Lei would really dare to kill his master. Does he want to rebel!?"    

    

Seeing Zhuge Haotian say this, Fann Binn didn't say anything else. At this time, he called Bald Man to his side and secretly gave a few instructions. After the baldy heard this, he immediately nodded his head and gathered his subordinates together in private. They went to discuss something...    

    

"Boss, there seems to be no response from the other side. What should we do?" The guard beside Zhang Lei asked in a low voice, "Do we still need to carry out the original plan?"    

    

Zhang Lei looked deeply at the people in the woods not far away and said coldly, " No matter what kind of reaction they had, they had to follow the original plan. We can't let any of them go! You have to be careful, take advantage of the moment when they are least prepared to attack. This way, you can always catch them off guard. Initially, I wanted to wait for the patriarch and the others to come over before making a move. It seems like we are really going to use force now! "    

    

The guard nodded and quietly left Zhang Lei's side. He sent a message to the other squad leaders. At this time, Zhang Lei shouted again, "It's time. If you don't release the patriarch and the elders, and all the other hostages that you have taken hostage, I will shoot right now!"    

    

"Wait a minute!" Just as Zhang Lei finished shouting, a voice was heard from the opposite side.    

    

At this moment, Zhuge Haotian finally made a decision. He shouted in Zhang Lei's direction. “ I have decided to release the patriarch, the elders and the others, and ask Chief Zhang to keep his word. Withdraw the encirclement and let us pass! "    

    

"Let them go first. Don't negotiate with me. Whether you let them go or not will depend on your actions first!" Zhang Lei's voice rang out, but it could be heard that he seemed to be somewhat excited at this moment.    

    

Zhuge Haotian frowned, but he still gave his subordinate a look. The subordinate immediately understood what ___ meant. He immediately ordered a few of his companions to capture the core members of the Zhuge family, including Zhuge Dongfang and some of the elders. For example, Zhuge Zhe and the others had gathered together. After that, he ordered them to slowly walk towards the opposite direction.
