Xu Qingnian and these people were in a state of confusion as there were aftershocks and thunder, but Xu Qingnian was safe and sound. He glanced ahead and found that Bai Xiuting was no longer on the throne, and she must have been called away by Hu Sanhai.
At this time, at the back of the lobby, Hu Sanhai called Bai Xiuting over and asked anxiously: "Lao Xu asked me to ask you about Zhou Tian's mother. I was interrupted by your husband just now. Can you tell me now?"
Bai Xiuting hesitated for a while and shook her head: "The time has passed. If you want to know, you should wait until we are destined to talk about it in the future!"
She suddenly said this, leaving Hu Sanhai confused: "What? What time? Isn't now the best time? There is no one around and no one will disturb you. Why don't you just say it?"
Hu Sanhai looked around, but there was no one else around. He looked at Bai Xiuting with a dazed and nervous look: "Hurry up and tell me. In order to know this, Lao Xu is drinking with everyone now. If you don't tell me, wouldn't it be..."
Bai Xiuting smiled slightly and waved her hand: "I told you that now is not the right time. Yu Zhenlei has already doubted me. Do you think he is really drinking? There are many unknown arrangements in the castle master's mansion, and our conversation is very interesting.
If there is a possibility that he might listen to you, do you really want to take the risk? Or do you think you don’t care about my life or death?”
Hu Sanhai looked up, slapped his face, shook his head helplessly and said, "It's really hard to know something!"
After that, he turned around and went back.
Bai Xiuting wanted to go back, but shortly after Hu Sanhai left, she was about to leave when she felt something behind her.
"Madam, what were you talking about just now?"
It turned out to be the shadow of Yuzhen Lei, and Bai Xiuting replied calmly: "Just a few chats, nothing more? Why, you have time to take care of me while you have a drinking contest with Senior Xu?"
"Madam, what are you talking about? Since Brother Xu and Mr. Hu came to our house, you seem to be very impetuous! But is there anything you need me to do?"
Bai Xiuting breathed out, looked at the shadow of Aftershock Lei under her and smiled: "Senior Xu and Mr. Hu drove away Yuwen Guofeng for our Wanjiabao. It is normal to be humble. Is there anything wrong with this?
"
Afterwards, in the lobby, Hu Sanhai saw Xu Qingnian knocking those people around while drinking. Most of them had been drunk by Xu Qingnian and looked extremely ugly, but Xu Qingnian was still safe.
When Xu Qingnian saw Hu Sanhai coming back, his expectant eyes fell on him, but Hu Sanhai opened his arms and shrugged, shaking his head.
"Hey, sure enough!"
After Xu Qingnian muttered something to himself, he raised the unknown jar of wine in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone had a great time drinking today. I, Mr. Xu, am also very happy. Thank you for your hospitality. This last jar of wine,
Hope everyone does it!"
Then he raised the wine jar and drank all the wine in an instant. Then he threw the wine jar to the ground in a fit of anger. When the pieces of the wine jar were thrown and exploded in all directions, Aftershock Lei came to him and patted him.
Back: "Brother Xu's drinking capacity is worthy of being drunk after a thousand drinks. I knew you had such abilities many years ago, but I didn't expect that you are even more powerful now..."
Xu Qingnian turned around and saw Yuzhenlei's shaky posture. He was about to help him, but found that there was no shadow under his feet. Xu Qingnian was shocked. Could it be that Yuzhenlei and Bai Xiuting both knew this kind of shadow control technique?
After thinking about it, Xu Qingnian deliberately took a step back, but Yu Zhenlei stood motionless. His physiological reaction told him that Yu Zhenlei was not drunk at all, but deliberately pretended to be drunk in front of him. This made Xu Qingnian feel a chill down his back.
So he cupped his hands and said, "Haha, little tricks are nothing. I am naturally resistant to wine. Ordinary wine cannot make me drunk at all. I am really flattered by Brother Yu's hospitality today. Thank you very much!"
"Ah! Also, happy birthday, madam!"
Yu Zhenlei knew that Xu Qingnian was a smart man, and he should have known the technique that he could use to control shadows. He didn't say anything more, smiled and said: "Brother Xu has seen something outside, seen something outside!"
At this time, Hu Sanhai ran over and saw them greeting each other. He hurriedly said: "Ah, Castle Master, I think they have almost finished drinking. It is already getting late. You look at these people drinking inside and outside the hall."
As a person, I don’t think there’s any need to drink anymore.”
Xu Qingnian also had this intention. Just when he was about to cooperate with Hu Sanhai, Yu Zhenlei said first: "Yes, if you drink more, it probably won't be my wife's birthday party. Haha... Okay, okay, then I will thank you very much."
Thank you all for your support, and thank you for everything you have done for all of us in Wanjiabao. Wait for tomorrow..." Aftershock, just as Lei was about to continue, his son suddenly shouted from behind them: "Dad! It seems that someone is unconscious.
It’s a matter of personnel, I won’t wake up no matter how I call!”
Yuzhen Lei was startled and quickly ran back.
"You two, please help yourself, I'll go over and take a look!"
After about an hour or two, Xu Qingnian and Hu Sanhai were lying on the bed in the guest room. Neither of them fell asleep. Hu Sanhai looked outside the window beside the bed. The starry night sky was very quiet. A few stars were twinkling: "This starry sky is a bit bleak.
ah!"
When Xu Qingnian heard what Hu Sanhai said, he laughed and said, "Since when did Mr. Hu like to watch the starry sky at night?"
"Old Xu, some of the things that happened today are so strange. Don't you think that Aftershock Lei is hiding something from us?"
Xu Qingnian did not say much about Hu Sanhai's question, but asked: "Huh? If there is anything strange, tell me."
Hu Sanhai sat up from the bed with a sound and leaned against the window: "Aftershock Lei's shadow can be controlled. Just a few hours ago, I heard you call Bai Xiuting to the back of the lobby.
During the conversation, I noticed two shadows behind her. I didn't dare to say anything more at that time, so I had to leave first. I thought those were the shadows of Aftershock Thunder, otherwise I wouldn't have followed Bai Xiuting closely."
"Also, don't you see any clues about this birthday banquet? Although everyone is here for Bai Xiuting's birthday, most of them are toasting and talking to you. This is all too strange!
"
Xu Qingnian listened to Hu Sanhai's words, put his hands under his head, blinked and sighed, "Bai Xiuting is a disciple of Baishuang Palace. Baishuang Palace is in Nanchi. I think I still have to go to Nanchi and ask in person."
It would be better to ask the sect leader of Baishuang Palace. This is Wanjiabao. After all, Bai Xiuting is Yu Zhenlei’s wife. It’s normal not to want to say it or not dare to say it, but what is certain is that they have nothing to do with Haotian Pavilion.”
"Since the purpose of our trip is to find traces of Haotian Pavilion, we should not interfere with Yu Zhenlei's family affairs. We will leave Wanjiabao early tomorrow morning and continue walking west!"
Hu Sanhai also had the same intention, but when he heard that he was going west, he asked curiously: "There is nothing on the west side of Dong Chu, so why are we going there? Who doesn't know that the west side of Dong Chu is a wilderness."
Xu Qingnian turned sideways and put his arms around his shoulders, one leg riding on the quilt, and said with closed eyes: "You will know when you go there, the more uninhabited the place is, the more likely it is that the Haotian Pavilion gang will appear there, and we will set off tomorrow.
Close your eyes and go to sleep!"
Hu Sanhai didn't know what he was talking about, so he lay down and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Early in the morning of the next day, Xu Qingnian and Hu Sanhai came to the lobby and saw that the lobby was as clean as ever. It seemed that they had done a lot of cleaning up yesterday.
Xu Qingnian and the other two sat down respectively, quietly waiting for the arrival of the aftershock thunder.
"Old Xu, it's still early, let's go to the martial arts training ground in the mansion?"
Hu Sanhai couldn't sit still. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Qingnian, but Xu Qingnian shook his head: "It's better to say goodbye. We are leaving today, so don't walk around casually anymore. Wait until Brother Yu comes and say goodbye directly."
After hearing this, Hu Sanhai took a look outside the hall, but there was no one there: "I said that the servants in their castle master's mansion got up so late. This is the first time I have seen any family doing this. It's really weird.
We've both been sitting here for so long, and no one cares about us. Do we really... don't understand any rules?"
Hu Sanhai was really a little impatient and muttered.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Hu can't wait any longer. Do you two have anything important to discuss with me?" At this time, Yu Zhenlei and his wife suddenly walked in from outside the hall, catching Hu Sanhai off guard, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No.
No, no, no, I'm just curious and asked."
After Yu Zhenlei and Bai Xiuting sat on the main seats, they said seriously: "Mr. Hu doesn't know something. At yesterday's banquet, the people drank too much. Our servants in the castle master's mansion cleaned up at nearly five o'clock in the morning, so they couldn't sleep.
It's naturally later, so I'll naturally get up later. Please forgive me, Mr. Hu and Brother Xu."
Hu Sanhai wanted to get up and respond, but Xu Qingnian beat him to it: "Brother Yu's care these days has been unforgettable. In addition, Hu Sanhai was seriously injured because it was the doctor you found. I can't wait for such a great favor."
Come on, I came to the hall so early today just to say goodbye, I hope Brother Yu won’t be offended!"
After Xu Qingnian said this, Yu Zhenlei did not respond in time, but Bai Xiuting was a little surprised: "Are the two seniors leaving now? How many more days will you stay?"
Bai Xiuting suddenly spoke, which made Xu Qingnian a little shocked: "Madam, this...Mr. Hu and I still have important things to do. The location of Haotian Pavilion in Dongchu, and the remaining culprits, we still need to find out. If we continue to stay
I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience in the Lord's Mansion."
Hu Sanhai also took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Yes, since Master captured Yuwen Guofeng, spies from Haotian Pavilion have also appeared. This means that there should be a base of Haotian Pavilion in Dongchu that we have not discovered.
, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid they will have other plans, please forgive me!"
After Yu Zhenlei heard this, he stood up expressionlessly and said to Bai Xiuting: "Madam, please don't force yourself to confront the two of them. Since they are disciples of the academy, everything must be for the sake of the academy. If they are forced to stay,
I'm afraid they are not suitable, so I'll treat you two to breakfast and it won't be too late to leave!"
After hearing this, Xu Qingnian nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Yu, for your understanding! Then Mr. Hu and I will go out first."
Yuzhenlei looked at the two of them, and then nodded.
When walking out of the lobby, Hu Sanhai frowned: "If it were any other time, if we said we were leaving, then Yuzhen Lei would have fought tooth and nail to stop us, but now we are so happy, there must be some fraud involved!"
Xu Qingnian turned his head and looked at Hu Sanhai and responded seriously: "Yu Zhen Lei is the master of Wanjia Fort. What can happen? I have said it before, as long as they don't have anything to do with Haotian Pavilion, everything will be their family affair."
, let’s not interfere, let alone inquire, let’s have a simple breakfast later, and then we’ll set off.”
They hurried back to the house to pack their luggage. Since they had very few things, they simply packed their bags and prepared to go out. But as soon as they went out, they bumped into Yu Wenzong.
"Are you two seniors leaving?"
Yu Wenzong's eyes seemed a little confused.
Xu Qingnian smiled and replied: "Yes, we still have many things to deal with, so we won't bother you in your house."
"Please don't be anxious, seniors. There are many strange things happening in the house. I originally wanted to ask you two to help solve them!" Yu Wenzong said anxiously. Hu Sanhai looked at his expression, a little surprised, and asked hurriedly
: "What's going on? I think the castle master's mansion is normal. Are you too sensitive?"
Hu Sanhai persuaded and walked towards the door, but just after taking a few steps, he was pulled back by Yu Wenzong.
"It's definitely not because I'm sensitive. Ever since you dealt with that Yuwen Guofeng, there's been an inexplicable and strange atmosphere in the house. I'd like to ask the two seniors to help check it out."
When Hu Sanhai heard this, he turned around to ask what was going on, but was pulled back by Xu Qingnian: "Master Yu, this is a family matter of the Lord's Palace. Mr. Hu and I have no right to interfere. Please forgive me!"
After that, he dragged Hu Sanhai towards the lobby.
When the two entered the lobby, they saw that Yu Zhenlei and Bai Xiuting had prepared breakfast. It looked very rich, and the tables were square on the outside and round on the inside.
"Brother Xu! Mr. Hu, come! Sit down and eat."
After seeing each other, Xu Qingnian bowed quickly and sat down. The four of them looked at each other in embarrassment. Yu Zhenlei smiled when he saw this: "Everyone, let's eat. Brother Xu and the others have to leave after eating, so don't delay..."
After Yu Zhenlei finished speaking, the four of them started eating. Hu Sanhai lowered his head and saw that there was an empty seat next to him: "Master, this empty seat is reserved for Mr. Yu? Why don't we wait?"
Bai Xiuting said with a half-smile: "His food servant will deliver it to him alone every day. This empty seat is just an ordinary place. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
.....After the four of them had an awkward meal, Xu Qingnian and Hu Sanhai said a few words briefly and walked out of the castle master's mansion.
Hu Sanhai looked at Xu Qingnian awkwardly: "Old Xu, why is today completely different from yesterday? Is there really something strange going on in this castle master's mansion? Isn't it a little too hasty for us to just leave like this?"
Xu Qingnian took a deep breath: "It's very simple. Brother Yu should have noticed that Bai Xiuting was hiding something from him, and because we were in the house, he refused to reveal it. After all, family scandals cannot be made public. This kind of thing is their family matter, so hurry up
