Chapter 191 The villain who seems to want to beat up a child
Chapter 191 The bad guy seems to want to beat up the child (second update)
'Rub! Rub! Rub!'
The fire suddenly lit up, illuminating the young man's resolute and stern profile.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a long corridor under the altar." Su Yunqing used flint and steel to light the simple torch he made. He looked at the dark passage in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked behind him:
"Little Imperial Master, how did you know this?"
Hang Zongzhi lowered his eyes and glanced at the black butterfly resting on his palm.
The butterfly looked very weak, as if it was about to disappear at any time. It must have been too far away from the villain. If he had not found Su Jiu before the butterfly disappeared, it would be more difficult to find the villain next.
"Jiu'er told me." Hang Zongzhi didn't hide anything.
From the first time they met, Hang Zongzhi felt that Su Jiu was very different from ordinary children, and the vision that appeared during the Flower God Festival today also proved this.
"Jiu'er?"
Su Yunqing couldn't see the butterfly in his hand and asked in confusion.
Hang Zongzhi raised his eyes and responded softly, "It's a long story at this time. The top priority is to find Jiu'er as soon as possible."
"Okay." The two of them were talking, and when they came to a fork in the road, Su Yunqing paused.
Hang Zongzhi glanced at the butterfly and saw that its wings were fluttering and showed no signs of guidance. He frowned slightly and said, "It seems that we need to rely on ourselves next."
Su Yunqing responded softly, "I just left a mark for Master Liu."
Su Yunqing glanced at the fork in the road in front of him and handed the simple torch in his hand to Hang Zongzhi, "I'm going this way, little Imperial Master, be careful."
To be able to quietly dig such a tunnel near the altar, the forces behind it may not be that simple.
Hang Zongzhi was not pretentious. He took the torch and nodded gently, "First Prince, you too."
"Um."
Su Yunqing glanced at Hang Zongzhi and said no more. Instead, he took out the army's fire seal from his arms and walked towards the corridor.
Hang Zongzhi looked at Su Yunqing's back gradually disappearing in the darkness, and without any further hesitation, he stepped onto another passage.

Time passed bit by bit, and the man in black robe stayed in the house, doing nothing, as if waiting for something.
Su Jiu touched the porcelain bottle in her sleeve. Brother Zhen gave it to her before he left, but she didn't know how to use it yet.
Brother Xiao said that as long as the heart thinks, little butterflies can come out, but she has thought about it dozens of times and has not seen a little butterfly.
Oh, no, there is one. I don’t know if Brother Hang can find it.
Su Jiu sighed softly in her heart. She could clearly feel that the situation this time was different from the last time she was abducted by Uncle Zhao.
Although this strange uncle in black robe did not do anything excessive to her, she smelled danger.
Thinking about it, his round apricot eyes turned in a circle, and then he covered his chest with his small hands and screamed a few times.
"I feel uncomfortable in my chest and want to vomit..."
Hearing this, the man in black robe turned his head and glanced at the villain, his eyes full of distrust.
"Woooooooo...Uncle, am I going to die?" The villain's little voice was full of fear. From the sound of it, it didn't sound like he was pretending.
The man in black robe moved and turned his head to look at Su Jiu, "What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know what's wrong with Jiu'er. Uncle, is it because the pills you just took are poisonous? Is Jiu'er about to die?"
Compared with the last time, Su Jiu's acting skills have become more perfect.
At least the man in black robe did not notice anything strange. He frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the villain, muttering suspiciously, "Why do you feel uncomfortable? This medicine only affects you once a month..."
He came to the villain and looked at her condescendingly, "What's wrong with you?"
The little man raised his fair little face and let tears fall from the corners of his eyes. The drawing book said that this crying gesture is the most beautiful and the most pitiful and can arouse sympathy.
"I want to vomit..." the villain said pitifully.
"trouble!"
The man in black robe squatted down and put his fingers on the villain's wrist.
The villain lowered his eyes and looked at the hands of the man in black robe. They were a pair of very beautiful hands. They seemed to be well maintained. The fingertips were slightly rough, which may have been caused by martial arts training.
He is a brother with status and good martial arts skills.
Although Su Jiu was calling him "uncle", judging from his angry appearance, he shouldn't be very big. He might be about the same size as his eldest brother, or maybe a little bigger.
In the eyes of others, he should be a very quiet or gentle person, otherwise he would not have just sat there quietly for nearly an hour without doing anything.
These methods of recognizing people were taught to her by the temple owner’s nephew.
"The pulse is strong and strong, are you really uncomfortable?"
The man in black robe raised his head and asked doubtfully.
The acting skills of this villain are really good, and the man in black robe obviously has a psychological shadow.
Su Jiu's almond-shaped eyes blinked, and she covered her belly randomly, "Uncle, when you said this, the pain suddenly stopped. I know, I'm just suddenly hungry."
The corners of the man's mouth in black robes twitched and he glanced at the villain. The feeling of surging blood resurfaced again.
Su Jiu subconsciously shrank back, her little mouth still chattering.
"Uncle, you look like a bad guy who wants to beat up a child.
I am not yet four years old this year, and I haven’t even celebrated my birthday yet. It’s normal to feel like I’m making mistakes!
And I’m really hungry.”
As she said that, the villain touched her belly with great grievance. From the time she set out until now, apart from the pack of pastries given to her by Brother Hang, she had only eaten one steamed bun. It was getting dark today and she was really hungry.
.
The man in black robe stared at the villain's little face for a while. Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, he turned around and walked out, leaving only two short words in the air.
"Wait."

"Mr. Chu!!!"
Just as Chu Bai was giving the medicine to Su Hongxuan, a young eunuch hurried in.
Seeing that it was the little eunuch who was following him to prepare medicine in Tai Hospital, Chu Bai subconsciously glanced at Su Hongxuan, who was drinking medicine slowly, and scolded: "The Third Highness is still here, how is it inappropriate to be so noisy?"
The little eunuch subconsciously glanced at Su Hongxuan, who was expressionless, and knelt down with a plop, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Su Hongxuan glanced at the little eunuch indifferently and said, "Nothing, get up. Why are you so panicked?"
The little eunuch stood up tremblingly and looked at Chu Bai, "Mr. Chu, it's not good. Something happened during the Flower Goddess Festival. Young Master Chu Xi was poisoned and his life is in danger."
‘Crack!’
Before Chu Bai could speak, he heard the sound of a bowl breaking. Chu Bai subconsciously glanced at the medicine bowl that was crushed by the extremely weak Third Highness with his bare hands. He didn't know whether to be worried or surprised.
While hesitating, he saw the corners of Su Hongxuan's lips raised slightly, and his voice had a coldness that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
