"I just heard you say in the pub that she is your cousin?"
On the streets of Wuling City, Wang Che looked at Chu Zhaozhao, who was walking ahead with a solemn expression, his hands clasped in front of his chest, and asked Chu Qingxiao beside him with a strange expression.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know how to explain Chu Zhaozhao's identity, so he could only nod perfunctorily.
Wang Che, who received the response, seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He exclaimed in shock: "Doesn't that mean that the disease can still be inherited in your family?"
Chu Qingxiao rolled his eyes and was about to retort, but realized something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at the other party: "Why are you following me?"
"You and Nian Shuang are as close as brothers and sisters, that is my brother-in-law. Now that you are sick, our cousin is also sick. Of course, I, the brother-in-law, have to keep an eye on you. Otherwise, when I meet Nian Shuang in the future, How to explain to her?" Young Master Wang responded matter-of-factly.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he didn't know if he should thank Wang Che for his consideration.
But one thing Chu Zhaozhao said was right. He knew Nian Shuang's character very well.
Maybe they haven't seen each other for a long time, or maybe the identity gap between the two is too big, so that the ignorant feelings between them will fade away.
But she would never favor a guy like Wang Che.
It's not that the prince's character is bad, it's just that their personalities are very different and their preferences are not the same.
In Wuling City, Wang Che had been stalking Wang Che for so many years, and Zhao Nianshuang rarely paid attention to him. He fell in love with her in just a few months. There are indeed many strange things about him.
Chu Qingxiao was in a trance for a while thinking about this.
Seeing that there was no response from Chu Qingxiao, Prince Wang, who had been following the two of them around Wuling City for half an hour, was a little confused. He looked at the girl leading the way again.
She would stop at a certain intersection from time to time, and then keep spinning in the same posture, and it would take a while before she could determine the next direction.
It's like using some method other than memory to find something that Wang Che doesn't know.
"What is she doing?" He finally couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart and asked at this time.
Chu Qingxiao shrugged his shoulders and said uncertainly: "Maybe he is looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Why do I feel like what she's looking for doesn't look like a human being?" Wang Che muttered with some palpitations. Chu Zhaozhao's appearance really looked like a wizard's approach or a goddess's posture of dancing with a great god.
"It is indeed not a human being." Chu Qingxiao nodded in agreement.
"What!?" Wang Che was startled, and his voice suddenly rose an octave higher.
"This is it." At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Chu Qingxiao and Wang Che both stopped talking and looked sideways.
But when they saw clearly what Zhao Zhao was pointing in, Prince Wang still looked confused, but Chu Qingxiao's body trembled at this moment, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
The place Chu Zhaozhao found was nowhere else. It was the place where Xuandu Temple was in his memory, and it was also the private residence of the Zhu family, a wealthy family in Wuling City!
Chu Zhaozhao wanted to find the false god in Xuandu Temple.
Although Chu Qingxiao told her about the condition of Xuandu Temple's old site, he never mentioned where Xuandu Temple was.
But Chu Zhaozhao relied on her strange method to find this place all the way.
Are there really such coincidences in this world?
Chu Qingxiao's mind was in turmoil, but Chu Zhaozhao stepped forward very excitedly: "The aura of the false god is hidden in this mansion, but his aura is very weak, as weak as a candle in the wind."
"I'm not even sure if he's still alive..."
Chu Zhaozhao said this, but saw Chu Qingxiao standing there blankly and not responding to her.
She was immediately annoyed and frowned: "What? You still don't believe me?"
Chu Qingxiao said nothing, just stared at the house.
At first glance, it seems that it is just an ordinary private house. Apart from being much larger, there seems to be nothing special about it.
But Chu Qingxiao felt a strange feeling in his heart at this moment. The huge house in front of him was like a wild beast crawling on the ground.
He looked at it.
And at the same time it was looking at him!
The feeling was so strong that Chu Qingxiao's body began to tremble.
"I want to go in." Chu Qingxiao said.
"Go in? How to get in? That's someone else's private house."
"Let me tell you, the people of the Zhu family have a close relationship with Mr. Zhu. If you offend them, your father will not be able to protect you this time!" Wang Che on the side couldn't understand most of the words between the two. Conversation, but Chu Qingxiao's suggestion shocked him and he hurriedly persuaded him.
But Chu Qingxiao seemed to have not heard his words at all, and walked towards the private house in front of him as he was minding his own business.
Chu Zhaozhao on the side was naturally delighted when he saw this, and quickly followed without hesitation.
Wang Che looked bitter: "Did you two get sick together?"
But although he was complaining, Wang Gongzi followed the two of them honestly to the wall of the Zhu family courtyard.
He looked at the courtyard wall that was as high as one person in front of him and muttered: "How do you get in here? I'd better forget it. I know there is a doctor in a medical clinic who has good medical skills. How about we go there first and show you?"
"What's so difficult about this? Aren't you a genius who has been spotted by Biyun City? You can't even get in?" I don't know if Wang Che angered Chu Zhaozhao, who had always regarded Zhao Nianshuang as the object of his admiration, about the letter.
The girl spoke sarcastically at this moment. As soon as she finished speaking, she tapped her toes and jumped to the top of the wall like a flying swallow.
Although Chu Qingxiao on the side was not as capable as her, he still grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands and climbed up neatly.
Then the two people squatting on the wall looked down at Wang Che below.
Wang Che suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face. Young Master Wang, who didn't want to lose face, gritted his teeth and took a few steps back. Then he aimed at the target and ran faster. When he was close to the wall, he jumped up and stretched out his hands at the same time. Want to grab the edge of the wall.
But whether the height of the jump was too short or the timing of the jump was miscalculated, the fingertips of Young Master Wang's raised hands missed the edge of the high wall with a gap that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Then there was just a muffled "bang" sound.
Wang Che then hit the stone wall hard. The scene was so tragic that Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao couldn't bear to look directly at it and turned their heads away.
…
Finally, with the generous help of Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao, they finally pulled Young Master Wang up the courtyard wall.
"With your body, can Biyun City like you? Then Biyun City should have been demolished eight hundred years ago!" Chu Zhaozhao looked at the panting Wang Che and said sarcastically.
Wang Che looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refute.
Chu Qingxiao on the side said: "Brother Wang, this trip may be dangerous, so you don't need to follow me."
But Wang Che, who was determined to believe that Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao were ill, said seriously: "How can that be done? I promised Nian Shuang to take care of you!"
"Her brother is my brother, and her cousin is my cousin!"
Faced with Wang Che who was carried away by love, Chu Qingxiao was a little helpless. He knew that no words would help.
Chu Qingxiao was a little helpless and could only turn to look at Chu Zhaozhao who was observing the situation in the hospital: "Did you find anything?"
Chu Zhaozhao frowned and shook his head: "The false god's Qi must be in this courtyard, but the Qi is too weak, and there are many other Qi in this courtyard that are interfering with me. I can't be sure of his Qi. Exact location."
Chu Qingxiao was doubtful about Chu Zhaozhao's words, and he also looked up at the courtyard at this time.
Soon he realized the weirdness of the Zhu family compound.
This is a very large house.
The front yard in front of us alone is three or four times larger than the Yamen in Wuling City.
The person who can buy such a wealthy compound must be from a wealthy family, and buying it will naturally be used for enjoyment or to support the occasion.
But the huge front yard is extremely empty. There is only a winding corridor leading to the inner yard. Other than that, there are only a few sparsely planted plants in the entire yard. There is neither a rockery pool that is standard for large households nor a There are no waterside pavilions for enjoying the beauty of the city.
This is not because Chu Qingxiao uses his vulgar mentality to judge others by himself.
It's just that the courtyard in front of me is indeed so empty that it looks a bit depressing, as if it's not a place for people to live.
"The Zhu family is frugal enough, right? In such a big yard, only these furnishings?" Wang Che on the side also felt strange and sighed.
"Have you had any contact with the Zhu family?" Chu Qingxiao asked, looking sideways at the other party.
He suddenly realized that a large family like the Zhu family should be as famous as the Wang family in Wuling City.
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had almost never heard rumors about the Zhu family before.
Wang Che shook his head: "I have only heard my father mention it. The Zhu family still wants to have some relationship with the imperial court. It has a profound background. It is impossible to say which prince and general who retired from the imperial court and returned to his hometown came here to spend his old age..."
"But I can't tell you exactly what they do."
"But I think we have something to do with the imperial court, and we'd better not provoke it. If we really get angry, it can't be solved with money."
"Coward." Wang Che's kind words were met with contempt and ridicule from Chu Zhaozhao.
After saying this, the girl lost her temper. At this moment, she turned over and jumped directly into the Zhu family courtyard.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao felt something was wrong in his heart. He had vaguely sensed the strangeness of this courtyard, but seeing that Chu Zhaozhao was leading the way, he could only follow. Wang Che next to him had a bitter look on his face, thinking of the beautiful lady's instructions in the letter, He gritted his teeth and jumped down.
The three of them landed on the ground one after another, and Chu Zhaozhao was eager to explore around.
Chu Qingxiao was about to follow, but just as he took his steps, his body suddenly trembled, as if he sensed something.
He retracted his stepped foot, stopped where he was, and looked around.
"What's wrong? Are you scared too?" Chu Zhaozhao, who was walking in front, noticed something strange and turned around and asked?
Wang Che also cast a concerned look.
Chu Qingxiao looked at the two of them strangely and asked, "Didn't you hear?"
Wang Che looked confused. He listened carefully. Except for the sound of wind and snow outside the courtyard, there was no other sound around him.
"What did you hear? No other sounds?" Wang Che said.
Chu Zhaozhao also shook his head and immediately asked: "What did you hear?"
Chu Qingxiao frowned and listened carefully for a long time before confirming that it was not his imagination.
He looked up at the empty courtyard and said quietly.
"Cry!"
"Lots and lots of crying..."
