Chapter 385: The Covenant of the Western Capital

Xu Minghao's heart moved: "Yinyue, for a while, you should leave first, I still want to see that painting again." ”

Xu Yinyue raised her head, looked at him for about ten seconds, and said, "Then you should be careful." ”

"Well, don't worry. Xu Minghao touched her soft hair, the hair was smooth and could not leave a trace of static electricity, Xu Minghao was addicted to touching it, but after touching it twice, he still let go of his hand and asked her to leave here quickly. Xu Yinyue reluctantly walked out, and the person who came agreed to meet her at the door of her house at ten o'clock in the evening.

After sending Xu Yinyue away, Xu Minghao's heart finally settled down, and he decided to change his strategy, lying quietly on the bed, waiting for Huangfu to come. After about an hour, Huang Fuming came over to see if he woke up, the banquet was almost finished, Huangfu Kite drank high today, and finally asked Huang Fuming to kick Xu Minghao out. Huangfu was reluctant in every way, but he still couldn't resist the head of the family and his grandfather, so he could only come to the room to find Xu Minghao. Just when he was worried about how to talk to him, Xu Minghao suddenly spoke up and startled him: "Brother-in-law, is this a good meal?"

"Ouch, I'll go... Huang Fuming's body jumped obviously, and then he touched his chest and couldn't help but comfort: "Brother-in-law, you scared me." ”

"Look at your guts. Xu Minghao glanced at him angrily: "What, did your mother-in-law ask you to drive me away?"

"Brother, I really admire you. Hearing him call his mother-in-law casually, Huangfu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "What kind of person is the head of the family, that is the person who has led our Huangfu family for thirty years, each of us is a little afraid when we see her, you are good, a mother-in-law, my heart was about to rise to my throat at that time, and I couldn't wait to rush up and cover your mouth." ”

"Haha, what is the relationship between your Huangfu family and the Five Elements. Xu Minghao saw that he took the initiative to open the chatterbox, so he simply pry some words from him before leaving.

Huangfu Ming frowned, not knowing whether to tell him this, but soon he made up his mind, Xu Minghao is not only a person of the Five Elements, but also the future son-in-law of the Huangfu family, this relationship, he is not afraid of what he knows, so he took a sip of water and began to talk eloquently: "The history of the Huangfu family can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, so let's not mention this." Let's talk about modern times, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the then head of the Huangfu family made his own choice for the rise and fall of the family. At that time, as soon as the Five Elements were established, the Huangfu family was arranged to go with the Five Elements to investigate a strange incident in Qiantang Village. ”

"Qiantang Village?" Xu Minghao shuddered when he heard this, and almost didn't roll off the bed: "Which village is Qiantang?"

"I don't remember the village. Huang Fuming didn't notice his abnormality, but continued: "I don't know what big case happened in this Qiantang village, and many people died overnight. It is said that an extremely murderous organization did it, and the Five Elements and the Huangfu family went to investigate this organization. Do you know, technology was not developed at that time, but our Huangfu family had a unique tracking skill, which is why the authorities specially appointed our Huangfu family to go. They followed them all the way and finally found traces of those people on a mountain in Liyun. ”

"Liyun... The goosebumps in Xu Minghao's heart flared up again, how could things be so coincidental? Why did Li Jingsong choose to be in the fog of Liyun, could it be that he was also a member of that organization?

On Liyun's mountain, they found a total of nine people, and that was the first time they appeared in the police's field of vision. Huang Fu Ming was extremely proud when he talked about this: "Of course, this is all thanks to our Huang Fu family, if it weren't for our unique tracking technique, how could it be so easy to find the people of the Five Elements alone." ”

"Long Jiu... Xu Minghao muttered.

"That's right, it's Long Jiu, who caused trouble to the two rivers before. At that time, in the mountains of Liyun, the people of the Huangfu family were seriously injured by Long Jiu, if it wasn't for the people of the Five Elements who rescued them in time, I am afraid that the Huangfu family would not be there now. By the way, the painting in the main hall was brought back from Liyun at that time. ”

When Xu Minghao heard this, he roughly understood, and it seemed that the secret of the Huangfu family was like this, but he still wanted to take another look at the painting to see the connection with the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix on the gold plate that he had seen before.

"Let's go, I'll go say hello to the head of the house, and then I'll leave. Xu Minghao stood up from the bed, and he was going to take the opportunity to take a photo before leaving.

When he came to the hall, the smell of tobacco and alcohol emitted here was almost making Xu Minghao vomit. Huangfu Kite saw him at a sharp glance, and then she staggered over, and said in a mumbled voice, "Yo, the boy is awake." As soon as he opened his mouth, a mouth full of wine rushed out of his mouth.

Xu Minghao subconsciously waved his hand in front of his nose, which caused great dissatisfaction among Huangfu Kite. As the saying goes, wine is intimidating, she slammed the cup in her hand, and the originally noisy environment suddenly quieted down. All eyes were on the place where the glass had shattered. Being stared at by so many big men again, Xu Minghao's skin was no longer numb, and he said to Huangfu Kite with a hippie smile: "Mother-in-law, you have drunk too much, and you can't hold the cup." ”

Xu Minghao slapped a palm in the air, this palm was full of Zixia true qi, such a majestic true qi slapped on Huangfu Kite's body, did not knock her to the ground, but walked around her body, this walk made her stomach unbearable, she covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom. As long as Huangfu Kite is gone, then it will be easy to do next, Xu Minghao hurriedly pulled Huangfu Ming's clothes. Huang Fuming reacted at this time, and everyone's eyes were still looking at them. He hurriedly waved his hands and shouted, "Everyone keep drinking, I'll go see the head of the house." With that, the hall was noisy again. Xu Minghao patted him on the shoulder and said, "You go, I'll go find my father-in-law." ”

"Gotcha. Huang Fuming nodded, and then left in a hurry.

Xu Minghao hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pretended to look at it, in fact, he had already aimed at the painting in the middle, and took dozens of photos in a few clicks. Then he calmly put away his phone and walked in front of Xu Zhenfei. Xu Zhenfei drank a lot, he was supporting his head with both hands,

Seeing Xu Minghao coming over, he didn't look up, but said in a daze: "It's here." ”

"Uncle, how much have you drunk here? Xu Minghao counted the empty bottles on the ground, there must be a box around him, this old brother's amount of wine is okay. Most of the Huangfu family are martial artists, and it is easy to force out the wine gas by figuring out the operation of the wine gas. From this point of view, Xu Zhenfei is worthy of being a veteran at the wine table, and he rushed to this amount of wine, no wonder he was able to develop to such a point from scratch.

"Xiao Xu. Xu Zhenfei also applied for that sentence at this time, and after drinking and spit out the truth, he withdrew his hand, sat down on the chair, and said weakly: "It's not that Uncle doesn't like you, but ah, Auntie, she doesn't like strong people." You know what I mean. ”

"I understand. I get it. Xu Minghao also told him the truth: "Actually, if I didn't behave like this just now, I'm afraid that my aunt will look down on me even more." Uncle, do you think that if I don't have the ability to suppress all of you here, she will be relieved to hand over her daughter to me? Although I know that she must be unhappy with me in her heart now, but... At least I'm already qualified. ”

"What qualifications?" Xu Zhenfei was already drunk, and when he heard him say this, he was even more confused, these two people were fighting each other.

"Of course, it's your son-in-law's qualifications. Xu Minghao said with a smile, and then turned around and saw Huangfu Kite walking out of the bathroom with the support of Huangfu Ming, and he immediately got up: "Uncle, I'll go first." Otherwise, my aunt will see me in a while... ”

"Yes. You go first. By the way, at seven o'clock in the evening, come to my house for a light meal. Xu Zhenfei's initiative this time made Xu Minghao see hope again. In the evening, you can also take the opportunity to talk about their Huangfu family, after all, Huangfu is a junior, and he definitely doesn't know as much as the head of the family.

Xu Minghao quickly left his seat after agreeing, and then walked out of the villa without the sight of Huangfu Kite. Xu Minghao, who returned to the sun, only felt warm all over his body, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body quickly disappeared under the sunlight. He sent the pictures on his mobile phone one by one to Ma Yuwen, who was far away at the Rulai Inn, and told her: "Don't let others see it." ”

After Ma Yuwen received the picture, she compared it with the phoenix on the previous gold plate according to his requirements. At this time, they and Chihuo Platinum are busy at the Rulai Inn every day, Chihuo and Platinum are more of the tasks assigned by Luo Xinghe, and she is mainly responsible for taking care of everyone's daily life. Although Lin Mu's injury recovered quickly, this broken bone injury was by no means a trivial matter, and it would take at least two months to fully recover. Erin's injuries recovered much faster than expected, and she was now able to get out of bed and walk around, and she would be able to return to the Rulai Inn in a short time. However, some strange things often happen in the recent Rulai Inn, and Ma Yuwen also told Xu Minghao about these things: "Old Xu, the inn will blow a cloudy wind at night recently, but it frightens me, and I always feel that there are people outside the window." ”

"You've watched too many ghost movies. Xu Minghao knew that this little girl usually likes to watch some movies about cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the more terrifying she is, the more energetic she looks, but she didn't expect her to be scared one day: "It's still cloudy, I think it's the underworld that came to collect you as a little ghost." ”

"Damn, can you not scare me!" Ma Yuwen's voice instantly amplified countless times on the other end of the phone, shaking his eardrums: "I'm serious, there is really a dark shadow running over every day." ”

Speaking of black shadows, Xu Minghao's heart immediately tightened, the only black shadow in this world that can make him afraid is the tenth shadow, and the owner of the tenth shadow is most likely Gu Xiaochen. If it's really Gu Xiaochen who goes to Ma Yuwen's side every day, I'm afraid... Xu Minghao thought of his longing eyes for Ma Yuwen, and his heart was nervous, what did this guy want to do! If he attacked Ma Yuwen, what should he do. But then he thought about it, Gu Xiaochen shouldn't be able to do this. His heart did not relax, now Gu Xiaochen has hidden his identity, and he has no way to prove what he has become. But if he really wants to do something wrong to Ma Yuwen, he is not by her side, it will be enough to choke. So he hung up the phone hastily and called Lin Mu: "Hey, Xiaolinzi." How's the arm?"

Lin Mu was at Ma Yuwen's door just now, listening to the phone call between the two and laughing spontaneously, when he suddenly saw Xu Minghao calling him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then walked out of Ma Yuwen's room: "Brother Xu, is there something to tell me?"

"You're smart kid. Xu Minghao was not surprised at all how Lin Mu could guess, he continued: "Protect the eldest lady." ”

These five short words let Lin Mu know that there were multiple trusts contained in them, and he also replied in an extraordinarily serious tone: "Definitely." ”

"The eldest lady said that there was a cloudy wind around her house at night... I doubt it... That's the tenth phantom... Xu Minghao trusts Lin Mu very much, so he can share information with him.

"What! he's here too?" Lin Mu's voice suddenly became louder, which also attracted Ma Yuwen's attention. He hurriedly walked into the courtyard for a while, avoiding Ma Yuwen's sight, and then picked up the phone again: "Brother Xu, your news won't be wrong, right?"

"It's just my guess, but I chased him when I fell off the cliff before. So... ”

"So your concerns are not unfounded. Lin Mu said with some fear: "But with my current condition... It's a bit difficult to protect the eldest lady. Shall we go back to Jiangnan first?"

"No, it's really not possible, you guys set off to the Western Capital first, and I'll talk to Chihuo again in a while, so that he can also be on guard. Xu Minghao hung up the phone, and did not call Chihuo immediately, but called Luo Xinghe: "Luo Bureau, are you busy?"

"No matter how busy you are, I have to answer your calls. Say, what's the matter. Luo Xinghe was in a meeting at this time, and after receiving a call from Xu Minghao, he could finally take time out of this endless meeting and quietly light a cigarette and rest. "What's wrong?"

Xu Minghao lowered his voice and created a tense atmosphere: "I want the Red Fire Forest to go to the Western Capital as soon as possible." ”

"Well, so suddenly?" Luo Xinghe was also defenseless, originally said that he would wait for his side to be busy, he and they met at the Rulai Inn, and then rushed to the Western Capital together, why did they have to come over first.

Xu Minghao didn't want to tell Luo Xinghe about the tenth secluded and Gu Xiaochen, so he casually found a reason: "They have been in the Rulai Inn long enough, and the owner there is not there, and the consumption of materials is extremely fast, and it is troublesome to go down the mountain every time to purchase, so it is better to let them go to the Western Capital as soon as possible." ”

Luo Xinghe concluded from the tone of his voice that there was something else in it, but he didn't say it, and he didn't ask about it, since he had this demand, then he would definitely satisfy him: "Don't worry, I'll call Chihuo." ”

hung up the phone, Xu Minghao was still not at ease, it seemed that his vacation was over. He walked aimlessly on the road, and it took half an hour before he called Chihuo: "Hey, Chihuo." ”

"Xuanshui, Luo Ju has already told me. We're ready to pack. Chihuo didn't understand why he was in such a hurry to rush to the Western Capital, and he secretly guessed if there would be any new action.

"Chihuo, you must help me protect the eldest lady and Xiaolinzi. Xu Minghao repeatedly told him that this Ma Yuwen and Lin Mu were extremely important in his heart, but Gu Xiaochen's status in his heart was not inferior to them. His heart has now been confused by Gu Xiaochen, although he is not 100% sure, in fact, he has a strong willingness to admit it in his heart to resist, because judging from the battle of Xiaozhulin, the tenth ghost is undoubtedly Gu Xiaochen. "Hey. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Xuanshui? Chihuo could tell from his voice that he wasn't happy, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"It's nothing, I met your senior brother Huang Fu. Xu Minghao changed the topic, now that he is thousands of miles away, he can't fly to Ma Yuwen's side to protect her, so he can only pray that Gu Xiaochen won't do anything out of the ordinary.

"Haha, that's a coincidence. I don't know how Senior Brother Xiao Ming is now. When Chihuo said this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he had come down the mountain to the Five Elements for many years, and he had never gone back to the mountain to visit for so many years, the only time he went to pick up Zuo Zongjie, but now he can only spend the rest of his life lying in bed, looking back, life is really short and unpredictable, which makes people sigh.

Xu Minghao also heard the helplessness and sophistication in his tone, and he couldn't help but have ripples in his heart, but he quickly adjusted himself, and at the same time comforted Chihuo: "When we're done with this while, let's have a good time together." I'm in for a treat. “

"That's a must!" Although it was only a short sentence, Chihuo was very happy to hear it, and there was a vague sense of relief in his heart: "Don't worry, Xiaolinzi and Miss, even if you don't say it, I will protect them thoroughly." ”

Listening to Chihuo's assurance, Xu Minghao suddenly had a bottom in his heart, this guy looks young, but calm and cautious, and has rich practical experience, although he is not as smart as Lin Mu, but what he said honestly made Xu Minghao more at ease. After explaining this, Xu Minghao suddenly felt that he had nothing to do, there was still a period of time before the evening agreement, why don't you take care of yourself first, and buy some gifts or something by the way, you always have to bring something when you come to the door for the first time, otherwise it will be too rude. After making up his mind, he immediately went into the mall, picked a salon that looked classy, got a clean haircut, then changed into the casual suit and shirt he had just bought, and then put on his flat glasses, and sat down in a café. For a while, countless warblers and warblers looked at him.
