Chapter 771
Not long after, Wu Yong took Xiao Zhan to a secluded courtyard.
The yard is not big, with a seven- to eight-meter-high wall, a small garden, and two small rooms.
Wu Yong glanced at the entrance of the courtyard and saw that no one was passing by, then he looked at Xiao Zhan coldly.
"Boy, you are very brave, you dare to come to Pingxi Marquis Mansion."
Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly:
"No matter how courageous I am, I am still not as courageous as Butler Wu."
"A housekeeper actually dared to lead people to steal the Nether Pill escorted by the royal army."
"The Marquis also said just now that the twenty soldiers from the Hou Mansion are also in the Hou Mansion at this time, but I don't know what the expressions of those twenty soldiers will be when they see Butler Wu. "
Wu Yong sneered, "Give me back the Nether Pill you stole, otherwise I guarantee you won't live long."
Xiao Zhan smiled calmly, "Butler Wu, you are joking. I don't understand what you are talking about. What Nether Pill?"
Wu Yong said nothing, just looked at Xiao Zhan coldly.
He knew that Xiao Zhan would definitely not hand over the Nether Pill.
But he would not give up easily, and said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Zhan, let me tell you, there are others behind me. If you don't want to die, you'd better think clearly."
"Now you and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope. If I am caught out, I will definitely give you away!"
"But if you take the initiative to hand over the Netherworld Pill, I can recommend you to the people behind me, and we will be a family from now on."
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head, "Butler Wu, you should go about your own business."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan walked directly into the room behind him.
Li Yong also looked at Wu Yong expressionlessly, and then walked into the room next to him.
Seeing that the doors of both houses were closed, Wu Yong's face became more and more gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked out of the yard.
Soon, Wu Yong found Zhuang Qiang.
Zhuang Qiang was currently dispatching troops to hunt down all the refugees within the territory of Pingxi Marquis.
Seeing that Wu Yong looked uncomfortable, he took Wu Yong to the side and lowered his voice and asked, "What happened again? I said, I will find a way to deal with the twenty soldiers of the palace."
Wu Yong let out a breath, "Young Master, that Xiao Zhan is the one who attacked me and stole the Netherworld Pill!"
Zhuang Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became extremely cold.
He sneered, "Okay, that's really good."
"You actually have the guts to act in front of me."
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Don't do anything recently. Just keep an eye on Zhuang Yunfei. I will find a way to solve that Xiao Zhan."
After saying that, Zhuang Qiang took the people away directly.
At the same time, in the Pingxi Hou Mansion.
Zhuang Yunfei came to the yard where Xiao Zhan and Li Yong lived temporarily.
He stood in the yard and waited for several hours. When the energy fluctuations in Xiao Zhan's room stopped, he said:
"Xiao Zhan, do you have time to chat?"
Xiao Zhan opened the door and walked out. When he saw that it was Zhuang Yunfei who was looking for him, he couldn't help but feel a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Young Master, do you have something to do with me?"
Zhuang Yunfei smiled and nodded, "Although I didn't go to King Yin's city with you during the last military competition, I heard my father talk about you."
"My father said you are a born general."
"Marquis Zhenyuan has disappeared. If you stay in our Pingxi Marquis Mansion from now on, we will inevitably have to deal with you."
Xiao Zhan said nothing, not knowing what Zhuang Yunfei wanted to say.
Then he saw Zhuang Yunfei taking off the brocade bag from his waist and throwing it to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan took it and took a look and saw that there were hundreds of Nether Pills inside.
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
Zhuang Yunfei smiled and shook his head, "It's not interesting, just make friends."
"Father said, when you become stronger, Hoi An
I will appoint you to serve in the government army. "
"And the commander of the army of our Pingxi Marquis Mansion is very close to my sworn brother."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that my sworn brother Zhuang Qiang is now the deputy commander of the government army."
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Young Master, do you want me to be your spy?"
Zhuang Qiang shook his head, "Since father said that you can be qualified to lead the army in the future, I naturally believe it."
"We will interact more often in the future."
After saying that, Zhuang Qiang waved to Xiao Zhan, then turned and left the yard.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the bag containing a hundred Nether Pills in his hand and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Just when Xiao Zhan was about to enter the house and continue practicing, another figure walked into the yard.
The person who came was none other than Zhuang Qiang’s adopted brother, Zhuang Qiang, the adopted son of Pingxi Marquis Zhuang Yan!
Zhuang Qiang walked up to Xiao Zhan with a smile on his face and said with a smile:
"Yunfei came to see you just now, didn't he?"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Zhuang Qiang continued to laugh:
"Yunfei has a very good understanding. He has perfectly inherited my adoptive father's talent in cultivation. He may also have the opportunity to possess the strength of a feudal lord in the future."
Xiao Zhan smiled and didn't answer.
Zhuang Qiang also took off the brocade bag from his waist, threw it to Xiao Zhan and said:
"There are a hundred Nether Pills in here. Let's make friends."
Xiao Zhan took the kit and said with a smile:
"Then thank you so much, Master Shaohou."
Zhuang Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "Yunfei is the Young Marquis. Please don't call me by the wrong name again, lest anyone with intentions think that Yunfei and I are at odds."
As he said that, Zhuang Qiang suddenly asked:
"I am now the deputy commander of the Hou Mansion's army. My adoptive father asked me to cooperate with the army commander to eliminate the refugees and investigate the robbery of the Netherworld Pill." "Xiao Zhan, I want to talk to you again and see if I can analyze anything. clue."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Deputy Commander, just ask whatever you want to ask."
Zhuang Qiang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhan, according to what you said, the person who stole the Nether Pill was a very powerful young man. This is completely different from what the twenty palace soldiers said."
"The twenty soldiers said that the person who stole the Netherworld Pill was wearing the armor of our Pingxi Marquis Palace soldiers, and the leader was an old man."
"My foster father said that Xiao Zhan, you performed outstandingly in the government-army competition. Now, please help me analyze what is going on?"
Zhuang Qiang looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes with a smile, waiting for Xiao Zhan's answer.
Xiao Zhan replied calmly:
"Of course the palace soldiers won't lie."
"It can be seen that there are two groups of people involved in the fight for the Netherworld Pill."
"The first group of people was that old man, but after that old man snatched the Nether Pill from the palace soldiers, he was snatched away by the second group of people, that is, the young man I saw."
Zhuang Qiang nodded, "I think so too."
"Let's not talk about the second group for now, let's talk about the first group first."
"The first group of people are wearing the armor of the soldiers of our Pingxi Marquis Mansion, and they also carry the sabers of our soldiers of the Marquis Mansion."
"These are not things that ordinary people can get."
"It can be seen that the first group of people must be related to the soldiers of our Pingxi Marquis Mansion. Maybe the person behind the scenes is someone from the soldiers."
"I have tested the commander of the army, but he doesn't know about it."
"I also tested Butler Wu. He was in the Hou Mansion during the time when the incident occurred. This is testified by the servants of the Hou Mansion."
"The clue seems to have ended here."
Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly:
"Since the young master is the deputy commander of the soldiers, it is not difficult to investigate the situation of the soldiers."
Zhuang Qiang nodded, "I have found the traitor among the soldiers, and the second group is also on their way back."
Xiao Zhan chuckled, "Now that the young master has found out the truth, what are you looking for?"
Zhuang Qiang smiled.
"My adoptive father said that when you become stronger, he will arrange for you to serve in the government army, and you will probably be under my command."
"I came to you because I wanted to talk to you first. After all, I also admire you very much."
Xiao Zhan said nothing.
Zhuang Qiang seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation.
He turned and left.
Xiao Zhan frowned. He still didn't see clearly who Zhuang Qiang was, but Xiao Zhan didn't like Zhuang Qiang for no reason.
He felt that Zhuang Qiang's gaze was too sinister. Although it was well hidden, Xiao Zhan could still see it.
It is said that appearance comes from the heart, Xiao Zhan thought that since he had seen countless people, he should not be mistaken.
After Zhuang Qiang left, Xiao Zhan went into the room to retreat again.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Zhan suddenly heard a noise in the Hou Mansion.
But he wasn't interested.
After a while, Butler Wu came to the yard, stood outside Xiao Zhan's room and shouted:
"Xiao Zhan, come out for a moment. The Marquis will summon you."
The energy fluctuations in the room stopped, and Xiao Zhan immediately walked out of the room. Seeing that there were still weak energy fluctuations in Li Yong's room, he followed Wu Yong directly.
Not long after, Xiao Zhan followed Wu Yong to the solemn courtyard of Pingxi Marquis.
