I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but I heard Song Qingqing's exclamation.
Meng Jin was startled, and she quickly broke away from Chu Qingxiao's hand and stood aside, lowering her head and not daring to look at everyone's eyes.
Song Qingqing put his hands on his hips and looked at the two angrily.
Chu Zhaozhao also looked strange, his eyes moving up and down on the two of them, as if he was examining them.
Chu Qingxiao couldn't stand the direct gazes between the two of them. He smiled awkwardly and could only change the subject at this moment: "Nana, Qingqing, what did you just say?"
Song Qingqing, who was about to get angry, was stunned when he heard this, but he also remembered the business.
Although she could tell that Chu Qingxiao was changing the subject, she also understood that the people in Prince Wu's Mansion were the most urgent trouble.
She glared at Chu Qingxiao and said at this moment: "When Chu Zhaozhao and I came back just now, we happened to bump into that guy Zhong Yuan, leading a group of soldiers from Prince Wu's Palace, heading towards us."
"I guess they have found some reason to cause trouble for us!"
Chu Zhaozhao also stepped forward and nodded to support Song Qingqing's words.
Even Meng Jin, who was blushing and feeling guilty, raised his head at this moment and became nervous.
They have a very bad impression of Prince Wu's Mansion, especially after what happened to the Bai family and his wife the day before.
What's more, yesterday Chu Qingxiao and others had a conflict with Prince Wu's Mansion because of Long Xiangyin. Now that Zhong Yuan has arrived with a large number of people, everyone will inevitably worry that the other party's arrival is not good.
But as the person involved, Chu Qingxiao didn't look at all surprised after hearing this.
Instead, he straightened his clothes, then looked at the crowd who looked like they were facing an enemy, and asked slightly confused: "What are you doing?"
Song Qingqing, who was holding a sword and looking fiercely, heard this and said, "Of course I will fight that guy to the death!"
"If he dares to touch a hair of yours today, my aunt will make him walk around without food!"
Although Chu Qingxiao was indeed moved by Song Qingqing's appearance, Chu Qingxiao still smiled bitterly and said: "Qingqing, General Zhong is from Prince Wu's Palace, and we are now the Tiantian Division certified by the imperial court."
"We are all officials of the imperial court, how can we frame each other? He should have some official business to discuss with us when he comes here this time."
When Chu Qingxiao said these words, not to mention Song Qingqing, even Chu Zhaozhao and Meng Jin looked strange.
They looked at Chu Qingxiao suspiciously, with big words clearly written on his face: Are you okay?
"Brother Qingxiao, did you break your brain?"
Song Qingqing's reaction was the most intense: "He... Prince Wu's Mansion! Zhong Yuan! Yesterday he wanted to take away our Dragon Seal. Do you think a person like him can be kind?"
Although Chu Zhaozhao and Meng Jin on the side had not happened, it was not difficult to see from the expressions on their faces that they were obviously on Song Qingqing's side in this matter.
Of course Chu Qingxiao also understood their thoughts, and he was about to explain.
"Haha, Miss Song is right, Mr. Zhong did not have good intentions when he came this time!" At this moment, Zhong Yuan's hearty laughter came from outside the courtyard gate.
Hearing this sound, Song Qingqing and others' expressions suddenly changed. They all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and at the same time almost subconsciously held their swords.
Chu Qingxiao was afraid that some of his aunts would act impulsively and cause bleeding and misfire.
He hurriedly gave everyone a calm look, and then looked at the courtyard door.
Because Song Qingqing and Chu Zhaozhao had just returned, the courtyard door was not closed. Zhong Yuan, who was wearing armor and led a group of soldiers, walked into the courtyard without any hindrance.
There was a smile on his face, with a rough look and a hearty smile, he looked like an upright and harmless man.
But Song Qingqing and others, who had seen his methods in the past few days, would not be confused by the other party so easily, and they still looked at him warily.
"General Zhong, please don't take her nonsense to heart." Chu Qingxiao walked up and said apologetically.
"Chu Siming is looking down on you!" Zhong Yuanyan said: "Although I am a rough man, I still have a certain tolerance for others."
"What's more, my coming today has indeed brought some trouble to Chu Siming!"
"Please also ask Chu Siming not to get angry with me later!"
Chu Qingxiao laughed when he heard this and said: "General Zhong, General Zhong has worked hard for Prince Wu's Mansion and the imperial court. If I can help the general in any way, it will be my honor."
"Hahaha! I would say that Chu Siming is a young hero. His state of mind alone is beyond the comparison of ordinary people." Zhong Yuan also said cheerfully.
"General, you are so complimentary." Chu Qingxiao responded humbly.
The old and the young were chatting happily, with warm expressions on their faces. If someone who didn't know met them, they would probably think that they were close friends for some reason.
Chu Zhaozhao and others on the side were even more stunned. They could not understand why Zhong Yuan, who looked like he wanted to eat Chu Qingxiao alive yesterday, suddenly seemed like a different person today.
And how did Chu Qingxiao anticipate all this and start talking happily with Zhong Yuan.
All this, to Song Qingqing and others, is as incredible as a fantasy.
Song Qingqing even pinched Chu Zhaozhao's waist. When he heard Chu Zhaozhao cry out in pain, he was sure that he was not dreaming.
"If General Zhong needs anything, just tell him. I will do my best." At this time, Chu Qingxiao also asked Zhong Yuan about the real purpose of his trip.
Zhong Yuan smiled and said: "Chu Siming should also remember what happened on that day Xuanjie a few days ago, right?"
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his heart was shocked, but his face remained calm.
"Of course I remember. Fortunately, the general was present at the time. Under your command, we suppressed the desolation. Otherwise, countless people in Tianxuan City would have suffered misfortune."
Chu Qingxiao's unintentional compliments made Zhong Yuan wave his hands repeatedly, and he continued: "That day, before he turned into a desolate man, the old man named Bai gave me a list of victims who were captured by Fu Xuance to test the medicine. "
"Although Elder Fu is highly virtuous and would never do such a thing, I have checked the people on this list in the past few days and found that they have indeed disappeared, and no one knows their whereabouts."
"This matter is of great importance and involves desolation, so we must not ignore it."
"But Mr. Zhong is a rough man. He may have some ability to kill enemies in battle, but I can't deal with things like gods."
"There are specialties in the arts. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be left to Supervisor Tiansi. But what a coincidence, Qiao Siming had already left Tianxuan City yesterday, and City Lord Xu also left without saying goodbye because he had something to do."
"For this reason, I was so anxious!" When he said this, Zhong Yuan showed a distressed look on his face, but when he looked at Chu Qingxiao, a smile appeared on his face: "But later, I changed my mind and thought, why don't we pay for this?" Is Chu Siming here?"
"Chu Siming is young and promising, and if he can be valued by Supervisor Tiansi, he must have the means to deal with those gods. It is perfect to leave this matter to Chu Siming to investigate!"
After saying this, Zhong Yuan narrowed his eyes, with a cunning look like a fox on his face.
"If you think about it, Chu Siming wouldn't refuse this natural thing, right?"
