Zhao Niantong thought to himself: "This is not a complete illusion. You still killed the person, but you didn't take anything away." Chen Mo asked in confusion: "Didn't Senior Pan help us?"
Yin Yanlai said: "Mo'er, you are still young and don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. People may not save you because they want to help you, and they may not want to harm you when they smile at you. A very simple example, those evil people who died in my hands Disciple, the last thing you see is my smile."
Chen Mo nodded doubtfully and said to Chen Xiaotian: "Father, Senior Pan said that he is an old friend of you, and also said that he would come to visit you when he has free time."
Chen Xiaotian sighed and said: "Pan Tianhe and I have known each other for more than thirty years. He is an upright man and has strong martial arts skills. He was originally the successor appointed by the old palace master Zhao. Unfortunately, heroes are short-tempered and have long-lasting love for children. His personality changed drastically after being frustrated in love." , and from then on he became wild and free-spirited, and later he even went down the mountain without permission and disappeared without a trace."
Yin Yanlai giggled at the side and said, "Is it because you feel so sorry for him because he almost became your brother-in-law?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Chen Mo was even more shocked. Everyone looked at Chen Xiaotian. Chen Xiaotian's face changed slightly, and he sighed and said: "Oh... these are all old things, Yan Lai, why do you need to mention them again?"
Yin Yanlai put away her smile and said seriously: "Xiaotian, if you don't explain the matter clearly, how can we help you? Now monk Jingnian and old man Tianqi have led troops to the city, and Bai Bowang is even more eager to take action, no longer taking care of it. It’s time to save face, you must tell us everything you know, and only by working together can we come up with a plan to retreat from the enemy!”
Chen Xiaotian pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay, this is not the place to talk. We will discuss it when we return home."
Everyone took advantage of the darkness to return the way they came. Chen Mo couldn't help but think about it along the way, "If it is true as the master's wife said, my father and Senior Pan should have married a pair of sisters. Senior Pan was let down, but my father successfully married his mother. That's what I said. There is also an aunt? But why have I never heard my father and mother mention it? If my mother really had a sister, would she have lived in seclusion with her for so many years? Has my father ever searched for her? "
After some random thoughts, I looked up again and arrived outside the Xuanzang Hall. I saw Ma Desheng guarding the steps. Seeing everyone returning, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, the Kou Governor has come to pay his respects."
Chen Xiaotian frowned and thought to himself: "What is the purpose of Kou Huairen coming here at this time? He is King Qi's spy, could it be that he is here to save the guard?"
Yin Yan came to see Chen Xiaotian and had to deal with government affairs, and said with concern: "Xiaotian, you haven't slept all night, don't be too busy, you have to pay attention to your health."
Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "Yan Lai, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Yin Yanlai said: "Okay, then you go ahead and I'll go back to Dongbie Garden and wait for you."
Chen Xiaotian nodded and watched Yin Yanlai leave. As soon as he turned around, he saw a short, fat man walking out of the Xuanzheng Hall with four guards. When he saw Chen Xiaotian and others, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Chen, you are back, I have been waiting here for a long time! "
Chen Xiaotian returned the salute and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. I didn't know that Master Kou arrived and I didn't go far to greet him. I hope you'll forgive me." Kou Huairen waved his hand and said, "Whatever happened, the general has offended the subordinate. The subordinate knows that the commander has The general is busy with government affairs, so he came here unexpectedly today, I hope I won't disturb you."
Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master Kou is too polite. Let's not stand and talk. Let's talk in the lobby!" Kou Huairen nodded, Chen Xiaotian led the way, and the others then entered the Xuanzang Hall.
The guests and hosts were seated, but before Chen Xiaotian could speak, Kou Huairen said first, "I am stationed in Nanjing, but I have neglected to greet the general. I will excuse you here." After saying that, he stood up with four guards and greeted Chen Xiaotian. Bow and salute.
Chen Xiaotian stood up quickly and reached out to help him. After lifting Kou Huairen up, when he went to help the guard on his left, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming, and the guard in front of him pushed his knee to his chest.
Seeing Kou Huairen being so polite, Chen Xiaotian became more cautious, and sure enough, he sent someone to sneak attack. If he ducked sideways, he would not be able to lift the guard up, and Kou Huairen would inevitably make sarcastic remarks.
Thinking of this, he pressed down with both hands. The guard immediately couldn't bear it anymore. His legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "This brother is too polite. It's not the New Year. If you kowtow to me, I have to give you a red envelope, right?"
After saying that, the remaining people ignored it and turned around to return to their seats. Kou Huairen's face turned red and he scolded in a low voice: "You're useless, why don't you back down?"
The guard retreated angrily and glared at Chen Xiaotian.
Chen Xiaotian just pretended not to see him and said with a smile: "Master Kou, I've invited you here, and I've also given you the gift. I have some chores to do. If you have nothing to do, let's meet up another day!" With a big wave of his hand, he was about to see the guest off.
Kou Huairen hurriedly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, General Chen. Your Majesty, the King of Qi, has asked me to convey something to you. Can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "No matter what King Qi's orders are, just say them!"
Kou Huairen smiled slyly and said: "It's very inconvenient to have so many people here talking. King Qi has told me that only you can know about this matter."
Chen Xiaotian pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, please let Master Kou speak in the inner hall." After saying that, he led Kou Huairen into the inner hall.
Chen Mo was afraid that there was fraud and wanted to stop him, but then he thought, this is the Xuanzang Hall, and there are guards all around. Kou Huairen doesn't know martial arts, so he alone can't hurt his father.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the followers Kou Huairen had brought. Except for one person who was injured by Chen Xiaotian and was sitting on a chair, the other three were standing there, staring at him eagerly.
Chen Mo glanced lightly and didn't pay attention, but Pan Suxuan stepped forward and whispered: "Chen Shaoxia, these people have been staring at you. They seem to know you?"
Chen Mo turned around and looked again, and saw that these four people looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered and strode to a guard and said sternly: "Wang Laowu, what are your intentions in coming to the general's mansion?" ?”
These four people were the Twelve Evils of Jiangnan. The ones standing in front were Wang Lao Wu, Song Lao Qi, and Sun Lao Shi. The one who was injured by Chen Xiaotian was Zhang Laojiu who didn't say a word that night.
Wang Laowu chuckled and said: "Why are you here? Oh, I understand. When I saw your skills that day, I knew that you were no ordinary person. I didn't expect that you were an official in the general's mansion. It looked like Or a little boss?"
Chen Mo didn't want to talk nonsense with him and asked directly: "Where is Luo Rencheng? Were you ordered by him to sneak into the house?"
Wang Laowu said contemptuously: "Didn't you see who I came in with? Luo Rencheng has disappeared since he escaped that night. We are still looking for him everywhere. If you see him, please send a message for us. He must not forget the oath he made when the twelve heroes of Jiangnan became sworn brothers."
Chen Mo wanted to ask something else, but Chen Xiaotian and Kou Huairen walked out of the inner hall one after another. I saw Chen Xiaotian's face was gloomy and his eyebrows were knitted together, but Kou Huairen was beaming and triumphant. He walked into the hall, turned around and clasped his fists at Chen Xiaotian and said, "General Chen, please take your leave. Your Highness, King Qi, is waiting for your reply."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked away with Wang Laowu and others.
