Frankly speaking, Tang Yu didn't expect it at all.

Before coming here, he had thought that there would be a hard fight.

But the woman in front of her obviously did not have a trace of hostility.

Moreover, the other party was a master of the Tianyuan-level Great Perfection, if he really wanted to fight the other party, even if he and Lingling shot together, he would definitely not be the opponent's opponent.

"Come, try my craft......"

It wasn't long before the woman arrived in the bedroom with a plate of steaming food.

I have to say that although this room is simple and poor, in terms of food, it is quite rich, at least much richer than Tang Yu imagined, with fish and meat, and the aroma is fragrant.

And it has to be said that this woman's craftsmanship is indeed excellent.

Every bite of food is heart-wrenching.

Tang Yu couldn't help but be a little suspicious, why did such a perfect woman part ways with Tian Yuan's predecessors back then?

"It's all about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, what to do with it. Seeing Tang Yu's doubts, the woman sighed lightly, but there was a clear flash of loss in her eyes, and it could be seen that she was still a little reluctant about what happened back then.

"By the way, senior, I haven't asked for your honorable name yet?" Tang Yu put down his chopsticks and asked respectfully.

"My name is Xiao Hong. The woman smiled slightly, and said, "I used to be the eldest lady of the Xiao family in Tianfeng City. It's a pity that the family fell into the middle of the road and was chased and killed, so I simply met Tian Yuan, an old thing. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to live until now. Truth be told, it's fate. ”

Lockdown City?

The Xiao family?

Tang Yu frowned slightly, Tianfeng City is not far from Tianling City, but compared to Tianling City, it is much more barren, and there are very few forces that really have it, among which the most powerful wave of forces is only barely half of the resources of the Shangyang family.

But for the Xiao family, Tang Yu has never heard of it.

Ling Ling wiped her small mouth, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up, "The Xiao family, is it the family that was able to sit on an equal footing with the top echelons of the empire before?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hong smiled gloomily and nodded, "Yes." If it is said that in the past, the Xiao family did have some decisive weight in the empire, and many people would be frightened when they heard the words of the Xiao family. However, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind. The rise of the Xiao family has attracted too many disasters after all. ”

"Are you saying that it was the people of the empire who destroyed the Xiao family in the first place?" Ling Ling frowned slightly, to be honest, a long time ago, when the news of the Xiao family's destruction spread throughout the empire, there were some rumors, the most widely circulated of which was the suspicion, that the real destruction of the Xiao family was actually not a bandit, but a high-level of the empire, or rather, it was very likely that it was the empire that really instructed all this!

It is precisely because of this that many people do not dare to speak out lightly on this matter.

Gradually, the rumors about the Xiao family gradually disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Xiao Hong didn't hide it, and nodded with a wry smile at the moment, "I didn't think about it like this at first. After all, the Xiao family has also made a lot of contributions to the empire in those years, and the high-level members of the Xiao family, that is, my grandfather, also respect the empire very much. There should be no reason for the Empire to destroy us. But...... It wasn't until later that I discovered that in the ruins of the Xiao family, there was a broken token. Although it has been blurred, it can still be clearly judged that it is the token of the leader of the Imperial Palace Guard General, the Venerable Heavenly Tiger. If you were just a bandit, you wouldn't have had such a token at all. ”

"Could it be that someone secretly did it behind the empire's back?" Tang Yu frowned, this kind of thing is indeed a bit unbelievable, no matter how you look at it, with the power of the Xiao family, the empire should not do it. If it is so easy to eliminate an unknown hidden danger, then about the growth of the Yang family this time, wouldn't it also become a thorn in the side of the empire?

Xiao Hong shook her head, a hint of gloom crossed her eyes, "Impossible." The Imperial Court Guards are themselves the direct army of the Imperial Chief. If there was no order from the leader of the empire, they would never have acted casually, otherwise, they would inevitably be punished with the death penalty of exterminating the nine clans. Besides, if you think about it carefully, the weapons and equipment of those soldiers are also quite sophisticated. Although he was dressed as a bandit, he was obviously well-trained in his movements, and he didn't look like a bandit who was fighting, killing, burning, and looting all day long. ”

Tang Yuwu nodded with a deep groan.

Lingling, in particular, was even more surprised.

The Xiao family back then was one of the strongest families in the absolute empire.

"By the way, Tian Yuan's old thing, did you fight with the Yang family this time?" Seeing that the two were a little silent and surprised, Xiao Hong couldn't help but smile and hurriedly broke the embarrassment, after all, this kind of thing has passed for many years, and even now, the people who can really pay attention to it are in the minority.

Ling Ling smiled softly and said, "Not yet." The Yang family invited many alchemists and Tianyuan-level masters this time, and if they fought rashly, I am afraid that they would only waste resources in vain. ”

"Alas, it's really unthinkable, the Yang family, a small force back then, can even stand up and straighten their backs and speak, they have been the party for all these years, and it can be regarded as making the entire Tianling City chaotic. Xiao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "But the Yang family's actions this time seem to be indeed bloody, and your master is afraid that he will suffer a loss......

"So, please also ask the seniors to help the master!" Hearing this, Ling Ling and Tang Yu also arched their hands one after another.

"Help, you have to help..."Xiao Hong chuckled, and then a resolute look appeared on his face, "Your master has such a big matter, if I don't help him, he is a bad old man, how can he be trampled to death." ”

"Thank you, senior!"

Hearing this, Tang Yu and Ling Ling were both overjoyed.

"Xiao Hong, come out quickly..."

At this moment, there was a rapid shout outside the house.

Xiao Hong was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled at the two, and quickly got up and walked out of the house.

Outside, the sun was scorching, but I saw a middle-aged man standing there, his face gloomy, and he looked a little angry.

Seeing Xiao Hong striding over, he snorted angrily, his chest rose and fell, and he seemed to have been greatly wronged.

"Han Xi, what are you doing again?" Xiao Hong's face changed when she saw Han Xi.

"Xiao Hong, it's okay if you don't want to live with me, but you have to pay me back the money I borrowed from you before. You know, my mother is sick, and now the family is poor and sells iron, I wanted to live with you, at least you can serve my mother by the way, and I can go out to earn more, so that we can not only live a good life, but also have money to treat my mother. ”

"But you don't want to be with me, I want a mother to take care of me, and I don't have time to earn money. I borrowed your gold coins before, and I hope you can pay them back to me. For all of this, I don't even want dignity now!"

Seeing the other party's crying and mournful expression, Xiao Hong looked inexplicable, it is true that Han Xi has a critically ill old lady in his family, but if he says that he owes him money, it is a reason, after all, although she has lived a poor life all these years, she has never borrowed money from anyone.

"Han Xi, don't mess around here. I deeply sympathize with your mother's affairs. However, I, Xiao Hong, used to be from a famous family and a beautiful girl, even if I put a knife on my neck, I would never borrow money from others. With a wave of her hand, Xiao Hong turned around and prepared to walk back to the house.

To be honest, Han Xi is indeed a poor person in her impression.

I lost my father when I was a child, and now my mother is also seriously ill and bedridden for many years, and she needs someone to serve her every day. And Han Xi has it. has a good cultivation talent, if you can continue to cultivate consistently, you will definitely be able to become a Tianyuan-level Yuan martial artist.

It's a pity that all these years, for his mother's business.

His excellent cultivation talent was also wasted by him.

Seeing Xiao Hong turn around ruthlessly, Han Xiyin's face suddenly became humble, and with a plop, he knelt at the door, "Xiao Hong, I don't care, if you don't pay back, I can't afford to kneel here!"

Hearing this, Xiao Hong couldn't help but sigh lightly.

If she really had money, in fact, even if Han Xi didn't have to come here to pray, she would still send the money to Han Xi's house. Although Han Xi is said to be misbehaving and disgusting, his mother is also innocent after all. And I have been plagued by illness for so many years, and it is not easy to think about it.

"Xiao Hong! I beg you! You just agree to be with me!"

Tears welled up on Han Xi's face, but he pounced on himself and kowtowed heavily.

"Han Xi, we are not children, don't be so naïve. Xiao Hong shook her head helplessly, and walked into the house without looking back, but at this moment, the wooden door was pushed open, and then Tang Yu and Lingling strode out.

The conversation between the two of them was clear to Tang Yu and Lingling.

As the saying goes, there is something hateful about the wretched.

At that moment, Ling Ling was also helpless, and threw a few gold coins in front of Han Xi, "Well, these gold coins should be able to support you for a while for the time being, take them and leave." If you dare to come to Aunt Xiao's trouble in the future, then don't blame Miss Ben for being unsympathetic. Do you hear that?"

Seeing the several golden gold coins in front of him, Han Xi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly couldn't help but kowtow in gratitude, "Yes, yes, remember! Thank you, Miss, thank you! In the future, I will never come to Honghong's trouble again." ”

Red-red?

When Tang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Looking at the figure holding the gold coin and leaving excitedly, Tang Yu couldn't help but smile disdainfully, and then looked at Lingling with some playfulness, "I can't think of it, Lingling, it turns out that you are also deeply hidden." The domineering aura just now really opened my eyes. ”

Hearing this, Ling Lingqiao's face blushed, and she glanced at Tang Yu with disgust like a little daughter-in-law, "I don't have it, I just think this person is really a bit excessive, but it looks quite pitiful......"

"What are you blushing for?" Seeing Ling Lingqiao's face blushing, Tang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

"No, no!" Hearing this, Ling Ling glared at Tang Yu fiercely, and then slipped into the room with a shy face.

Tang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and immediately walked to Xiao Hong's side, smiling and said, "Senior Xiao Hong, that person is ......."

Seeing a trace of coldness in Tang Yu's eyes, Xiao Hong couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "It's nothing, he's just an old friend of mine." Oh, after all, when I left Tian Yuan's bad old man, I was still relatively young, and I had to find a home. It's just a pity that for so many years, I haven't been able to meet a good man. ”
