Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lord of the City
At this moment, the city lord's mansion was really in chaos.
"Everyone, look for me carefully, don't let go of any corner." One of the head guards commanded loudly with a lamp.
"Jaming, what are you doing?" Tong Xi walked over and asked.
"It turned out to be the second young master, isn't this the little young master telling us to do things." Jia Ming did not salute Tong Xi, obviously Jia Ming was not optimistic about Tong Xi.
Tong Xi saw that Jia Ming was vague and didn't want to answer him. So he didn't ask any more questions, but walked towards the room where Tong Yao was.
Tong Xi's departure, Jia Ming didn't pay too much attention. He continued to instruct his men to search.
At this time, Tong Xi had already come to the outside of Tong Yao's study. And Tong Yao was in the room dealing with official business.
"My lord, the second young master asks to see you." The servant came in and reported to Tong Yao.
Tong Yao frowned and whispered, "Let him in." ”
"Yes." The servant walked out.
After a while, Tong Xi came to the study.
"The boy greets his father." Tong Xi saluted respectfully.
"What are you doing here at such a late hour?" Tong Yao said casually, his face was sad and joyless, which showed how much he didn't like Tong Xi.
"Oh, the child saw that the guards outside were busy looking for something, and the child thought that an assassin had come in the city lord's mansion, and the child was worried about his father's safety, so he rushed over to take a look. Now that my father is fine, I am relieved. Tong Xi said.
When Tong Yao heard this, he frowned slightly, and then ordered the servant, "Chen Jiu, go and see what is going on." ”
"Yes, sir." The servant answered and left the room.
After a while, Chen Jiu returned. "My lord, I've made it clear."
"Say, what's going on?" Tong Yao asked.
"It is said that the little young master brought back a woman from outside today, and now she is gone. The young master was instructing the guards to look for it. Chen Jiu replied.
"This little bastard, he has to overturn my city lord's mansion." Tong Yao scolded angrily, and then reluctantly ordered, "You go and find the little young master for me." ”
"Yes." Chen Jiu then left again.
And Tong Xi also sneered in his heart when he saw this scene, obviously his goal had been achieved.
"Father, since then, the boy has retired." Tong Xi said respectfully.
"Okay." Tong Yao said casually.
…………
Tong Huan was pacing around the room at the moment.
"Why haven't you found it yet?" Tong Huan asked angrily.
But no one answered him. Because all the maids and guards were sent out by him to find Bu Tong and Jin Lu.
At this time, Tong Huan heard a sound of footsteps, and he couldn't help but guess, "Have you found it?" Then Tong Huan came to the door.
However, it was Chen Jiu who came over. This made Tong Huan very disappointed.
"It turned out to be Chen Jiu, it's so late, what are you doing?" Tong Huan was angry and didn't dare to get angry at Chen Jiu at will. After all, Chen Jiu was his father's personal servant.
"Little master, my subordinates don't want to come, but the master asked me to find you over." Chen Jiu said with a smile.
"What is my dad looking for me to do?" Tong Huan said impatiently.
"Isn't this the little young master making such a big fuss and being known by the master?" Chen Jiu said.
"My dad knows? How would he know? Tong Huan stood up in surprise. It must be Tong Xi, it must be Tong Xi's secret. Chen Jiu: You said yes. ”
"Yes, it was the second young master who came to greet the master and tell the master." Chen Jiu naturally would not deceive Tong Huan.
"Damn, he's against me at every turn. Someday I'm going to make him look good. Tong Huan said angrily.
"Eh, little master, be quiet, it's not good to be heard." Chen Jiu hurriedly persuaded him. "Besides, now it's better to follow me to see the master."
"Then, let's go." Tong Huan was also helpless, his father was looking for him, how dare he not go?
…………
"Dad, you're looking for me." Tong Huan came to Tong Yao's study, sat down casually and said.
"I heard you've got another girl back?" Tong Yao asked.
"Yes, that girl is pretty, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Tong Huan finished speaking, but said dejectedly, "But I didn't expect to accidentally let her run away." ”
"Heh, this is the first time that a girl you have caught has escaped. This girl is not simple. Tong Yao said.
"No, what's even worse is that my maid Jin Lu betrayed me and helped her escape. Now both are gone. Dad, do you think I can stop looking for them? Tong Huan said.
"This Jin Lu betrayed you, you should learn a good lesson. But that girl, if you don't find it, forget it. If you find it, let her go. Tong Yao said.
"Why did you let her go, but I found her with great difficulty. She is the number one beauty in our Qinggui City! No, it's the first beauty in the whole Mengbei star. I'm going to make her my lady-in-waiting. Let me let her go impossible. Tong Huan refused.
"Xiao Huan, you are almost an adult, and you and your cousin are husband and wife, you will definitely get married in the future. It's time for your temperament to be restrained. If you continue like this, how will you be able to succeed to the position of city lord? Tong Yao admonished.
"Dad, isn't there a decree that you can only get married at the age of 100, I'm not even 90 years old now, it's still early. And Dad, you're still very young, and you can still be the lord of the city for a long time. Tong Huan didn't think so.
"Bastard, look at the way you look now, you know how to eat, drink and play with women all day long, what else will you do besides these? You've lost all my face. If your mom knew what you were like now, she wouldn't be able to look at you. Tong Yao finally couldn't help it. This was the first time he was angry at Tong Yao.
"You're embarrassed to mention my mother, if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have died." Tong Huan also shouted loudly.
"You!" Tong Yao was furious, and raised his hand to hit Tong Huan. It's just that he didn't fight in the end.
"You're going to hit me? You fight, you fight! You can't hide the fact that my mother died because of you. Tong Huan shouted, and then ran out of the study.
"Hey~" Tong Yao sighed, he was still not willing to fight Tong Huan in the end.
Tong Huan is right, it was indeed his reason that Tong Huan's mother died in childbirth. This has also become Tong Yao's lifelong regret.
'Xiao Huan, why don't you understand your father's hardship? If you continue like this, how can you inherit the position of city lord? Tong Yao thought helplessly.
In fact, the reason why Tong Yao was so anxious was because he couldn't be the city lord for a few days. He was about to advance to the Silver (Planetary) level powerhouse. At that time, he will have to abdicate and surrender the power of the city lord. This is how his father gave him the position of lord of the city.
It's just that Tong Huan didn't know all this, and Tong Yao couldn't tell him. Therefore, Tong Yao could only hide all his troubles in his heart, looking forward to Tong Huan being able to turn back as a prodigal son.
