"Brother, it's true. Why should things be so mysterious? We are not outsiders..."
Wrapping up her clothes a little tighter, Lu Qingtan felt that the coolness in her heart was a bit more than the night wind.
"Third brother, what you said is wrong! My eldest brother has always concealed something from us. He must have concerns when he behaves like this." Lu Youyou said with a frown.
"Concerns?" Lu Qingtan tilted his head, "Where did the worries come from? Ever since my eldest brother became the leader of the Laoshizi Alliance, he has not come back to Jianxing Residence for a year. Now he doesn't care about the problems encountered in Sword Star Residence. We will visit you personally..."
Lu Qingtan looked a little dissatisfied and kept talking: "I think the eldest brother must be greedy for profit. He wants to secure his position as the leader of the alliance and has already planned to let Jian Xingju fend for himself..."
"Ah Fu!" Lu Youyou also had something on his mind, so he didn't stop him. However, when he heard Lu Qingtan's words becoming more and more excessive, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him in a low voice: "I admit that the elder brother does have selfish motives, but his All selfish motives are for the sake of Jian Xingju! Because of Lu Xiaoxing’s incident, the eldest brother has already suffered too much. If we don’t trust him, won’t the eldest brother be betrayed by everyone?”
"Second sister...don't get angry, I...I just said that."
Lu Qingtan's attitude toward Lu Hanjiang was largely due to his eldest brother's respect as a father, but he sincerely did not dare to provoke this second sister.
During the twelve years when he was trapped and focused on practicing swordsmanship, as long as he slacked off even a little bit, he would be tortured both physically and mentally by the latter. Although it has been too long since this incident happened, it will become Lu Qingtan's daydream whenever he recalls it.
"Hmph! It's okay to complain to me. Don't talk nonsense to other people again!" Lu Youyou said coldly.
"What the second sister said..." Lu Qingtan quickly apologized and said, "What are our plans next."
"Counting the time, Yurou is about to end her seclusion. During this period, no more problems can occur!" Lu Youyou looked at the sky and continued: "So today I'd better go back at night. I must rush back before dawn. Sword Star Residence!"
"Speaking of this...Second sister, that bastard...ahem, I mean, it's better to deal with the matter of Elder Qingjing earlier! If these two things collide one day, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to take care of it at all. Ah!" There was still some time before the city gate, Lu Qingtan continued to ask.
"Third brother, don't worry. Since I promised my eldest brother, I will definitely handle this matter!" Although Lu Youyou's tone was firm, there were two red clouds floating on her face.
Although the sky was dark, the strangeness at such a distance could not escape Lu Qingtan's eyes. He exclaimed in shock: "Second sister! Are you going to sacrifice yourself to use that beauty trick?"
"Afu!"
"Dong dong dong..." A dull knock sounded at the city gate.
"Open the door quickly, the two adults should be back."
Hearing the knock on the door, the two guards pried open the mechanism on the left and right, and opened the city gate a crack with just the strength of the two of them.
"Two adults, it was really dangerous just now. Are you okay...eh?" Before the guard could finish his words, he discovered that two other familiar faces appeared from the door.
He was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he knelt down together with the person next to him: "Kowtow to the two elders!"
Although these two could not be considered as allies of heroes, they were family members of the alliance leader after all, so the two guards naturally did not dare to neglect them.
"No courtesy." Lu Youyou nodded to the two of them.
"Two elders, it's getting so late, you are going to..." The guard was talking, but he saw Lu Qingtan next to him, half of his face was blue, and he also had a strange look on his face.
"What are you looking at! If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Lu Qingtan said sullenly.
"Lv Qingtan! Shut up!" Lu Youyou glared at the latter, and Lu Qingtan fell silent.
"Qingtan drank too much, don't worry about it," Lu Youyou said in a kind manner, "I'll take my leave from you two."
After saying that, the two disappeared into the night.
The two guards looked at me and I looked at you. They were about to close the door when they saw two more guards.
The Tao figure approaches here.
"Curfew time! Xianza...uh..."
Seeing the appearance of the person clearly, and recalling half of Lu Qingtan's green face, the two guards suddenly had various "bold" guesses in their minds, and then hurriedly turned away, for fear that the matter between them would involve them...
…
"You said this was the last trial, what do you mean?" In the Luan Tower, Lu Hanjiang stood at the table with a respectful attitude.
"The preparations are over, and the show is about to begin." Across the table, there was a mist-like figure that was difficult to distinguish.
"What a show...?" Lu Hanjiang had asked this man's real plan many times before, but he never got any answer every time.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Xiaoxing, can Lu Xiaoxing's matter still be settled?"
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely help you find him! Before that, I can assure you that his life is definitely not in danger!" The other party's voice sounded faintly, "But the premise of all this is that you Be obedient and never do any unnecessary things..."
"Don't get me wrong, I was just dealing with some family matters and didn't say much." Lu Hanjiang hurriedly explained.
"That's not what I'm talking about." The voice said without any emotion, "People are not saints, they all have selfish motives! But if you lose your sense of selfishness because of this, you will only be hurt. I hope you remember."
"Hanjiang, please remember." Lu Hanjiang replied hurriedly without daring to quibble.
"Wow, ah, ah, Dabao realizes his mistake! Please forgive me!"
"Wow, ah, ah, Erbao realized his mistake! Please forgive me!"
The other party was about to say something, but was interrupted by two noisy voices.
"It's been less than a month since the trial ended, don't forget your last mission..."
As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang felt a shadow flash in front of him, and the oppressive feeling in the room instantly dissipated completely.
"Is this guy's strength already so terrifying..." Lu Hanjiang was in a daze and hurriedly sat down on the table.
At this moment, his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and he hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and drank heavily.
"Who?" Red Phoenix was dancing vigorously when he suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind him. He was immediately distracted, but what he saw was nothing. Where was the slightest threat?
After coming back to his senses, Chihuang felt a light touch on his hand and realized that the two dolls had disappeared. Opening the palm, only a piece of colorful feathers was left in the palm.
"Shut up! Don't show yourself in front of me if you have the guts in this life!" Being teased again, Chihuang became angry and cursed, turned into a sharp cry, and chased in the direction where the person disappeared.
"Tao Yong!"
"Master!" Tao Yong, who had been dumbfounded for a long time, quickly came to his senses.
"Go! Drive that Lu Hanjiang away!" Full of anger, Chi Huang immediately changed the direction of his attack.
"Ah? This...isn't this bad!" Although Chihuang was not afraid of Lu Hanjiang, Tao Yong did not have the courage.
"What's wrong! Just do it and I'll be responsible for anything that happens!" Chihuang gritted his teeth and said, "My patience is limited!"
"Obey...obey!" Compared to Lu Hanjiang, Tao Yong was obviously more afraid of Red Phoenix.
Just when Tao Yong came to the door of the room and was about to knock on the door, he heard a creak and it was Lu Hanjiang who opened the door and walked out.
"Lord Leader...that..." Lu Hanjiang's sudden appearance completely disrupted Tao Yong's prearranged words, and he was hesitant and speechless.
"Waiter, where is your shopkeeper?" Lu Hanjiang didn't notice anything strange about the other party and asked himself.
"The master is downstairs! I'll take you there, little one!" Seeing that the other party spoke first to avoid trouble, Tao Yong was also secretly happy and hurriedly led the way.
"I had known that Lord Chihuang's Linlang Market was famous far and wide, but I didn't expect that Lord Chihuang would start a restaurant business, which is also a surprise!" Seeing the figure at the door, Lu Hanjiang hurriedly quickened his pace and came to Chihuang.
explain
Then, Lu Hanjiang threw a bulging bag into Chihuang's hand: "Because of this private matter, a lot of Luanlou's business has been delayed. Hanjiang feels really sorry, so he can only make some compensation and hope that Lord Chihuang will be satisfied."
"Kekeke, the leader of the alliance is really insulting the little girl by saying this. For the leader of the alliance to condescend to come, Luan Tower will be so brilliant!" There is no trace of anger on Chihuang's face. The more friendly you are, the better. Affinity.
As he said that, Chihuang suddenly pointed at Tao Yong who was following him: "Lord Leader, this guy didn't say anything disrespectful to you just now, did he?"
Tao Yong's face turned dark when he heard this, and he felt very aggrieved.
After exchanging a few polite words with Lu Hanjiang and watching the latter leave with a smile, Chihuang returned upstairs with the money bag in hand.
Outside the city, Yanyan was hit by the cold wind, her nose suddenly felt itchy, and she sneezed several times.
"Yingying, it's almost daybreak. Why hasn't Sir Chihuang sent a message yet?" After yawning to regain some energy, Yanyan suddenly became nervous, "Master Chihuang said it so seriously before. , could something happen in the city?"
"I also feel something is wrong... Why don't you just stay here and look at things while I go back and take a look alone." Yingying said with dark circles under her eyes.
"Yingying, you haven't slept all night. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to react in time! I'll do it!" It's a slapstick, but if something does happen, Yanyan is still very reliable.
"That's fine... then Yanyan, you must be more careful." The situation was urgent, so Yingying did not argue any more.
At the time of Yin, everything is silent. Yanyan dabbled along the roof and finally returned to the Luan Tower.
Terrified all the way, when she carefully returned to Chihuang's residence, she instantly turned into a frost-beaten eggplant, and saw that the latter was sleeping soundly holding a money bag...
…
"I've told you two not to cause trouble. It's okay if you don't listen. But you still provoke that guy. Have you learned a lesson now?" A scolding voice sounded from somewhere.
"It's really weird! Why did Dabao see two Erbao?"
"How strange! How come the second treasure sees two big treasures?"
The two dolls stood there dangling back and forth, as if they had drunk a glass of wine by mistake.
"What's the result of what I asked you to investigate?" Although he didn't hold out any hope, the voice continued to ask.
"Dabao asked them, but they don't know." The boy covered his eyes.
"Er Bao has asked them, but they don't know!" The female doll clapped her fingers.
"Strange, they are already here. Am I wrong, or... am I here early?"
As he said this, the man turned into a phantom and suddenly disappeared from the place, and then reappeared not long after.
"I thought he would come to Chi Huang for help after he had tampered with those two things. Could it be that he discovered something?" The man murmured to himself, "That's all, anyway, these two things are already for him. It’s a burden, let’s let him keep it for me for a while, after all, it’s too early to take it out now…”
"Dabao and Erbao, it's time for us to go back. I will let you have a great time next time..."
After saying that, the three figures disappeared into the alternation of yin and yang.
