Chapter 144: Heavenly Jealousy of Talents

Bai Xiaoyao came out of the flower hall, all the way around the servant maid who asked for peace, the scenery of the Yongsheng Hou Mansion is not very good, an arch bridge divides the Hou Mansion, the front yard is a place to entertain guests, and after the arch bridge, it is a resting place. Yongsheng Hou was very strict with his two sons, and scattered their residences, even Mrs. Bai felt sorry for her son, and she could not shake Yongsheng Hou's determination to temper her son, so Bai Xiaoyao's residence was precisely in the most inconspicuous place, and it was relatively far away from Yongsheng Hou and his wife and the second young master.

His father decided to ask for the title without consulting him, Bai Xiaoyao was a little unhappy in his heart, but when he thought of Mrs. Bai's concerned eyes and his father's gray head with sideburns, Bai Xiaoyao could only reluctantly accept it, who made himself the eldest son?

He didn't go back to his room immediately, but went to a remote yard that was inaccessible, and the small grave bag next to his biological mother's grave surprised him, he didn't believe which peasant family it was, so he begged Mrs. Bai bitterly, and finally knew that the owner of the original tomb bag was the dowry of his biological mother and the nurse when he was young, but because of the long time apart, he had long since lost his image.

This overgrown courtyard is the nursing mother's yard. Bai Xiaoyao walked in gently, the yard was barren, and it could be seen that no one had lived in it for a long time, and no one had cleaned it. A slave's yard is nothing more than that. He opened the door lightly, and an indescribable smell suddenly came over the dark room, and Bai Xiaoyao covered his mouth and nose and lit a candle.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, although it is a subordinate room, but Bai Xiaoyao is still surprised that a subordinate can have such a large courtyard. This room is not an ordinary subordinate room, there is actually a small hall, and it is this hall that he is in now.

A table, two rattan chairs, and a painting hanging on the table, I vaguely saw Madame Bai's eyebrows. Bai Xiaoyao suddenly understood that the character on this wall must be his biological mother. She held a half-open cloak, revealing a light blue shirt, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, fresh and reserved. Bai Xiaoyao stretched out his hand unconsciously, the strange thing is that this courtyard is said to have been unoccupied for more than ten years, why is this painting not as dusty as the table?

He had no memory of his birth mother at all, except that he occasionally heard from Madame Bai that she was a very elegant woman. However, after all, it was his mother, Bai Xiaoyao hesitated, but still removed the painting from the wall, rolled it up and put it in his sleeve. Then, he stared at the empty hall and walked slowly out.

The wind swept by, and the candle was suddenly extinguished. The air around them became cloudy, and a suppressed murderous aura surged. Before Bai Xiaoyao could raise his feet, a chilling momentum was already approaching him. He took a few steps back to stabilize his mind, and with years of experience, he quickly identified his opponent in the dark night, there were ten people in total, two standing on the left and right, the other one standing closest to him, and the other one was the farthest position.

"It's really bold to break into the Yongsheng Marquis Mansion at night!" There were only dozens of people, and he didn't pay attention to it, Bai Xiaoyao had a smile in his eyes, and said jokingly: "Do you want to come one by one, or do you want to go together?" ”

The other party was not angry by his ridicule, and it can be seen that he is also a killer who has been trained for many years. That's because he was wearing a mask, and even his voice urned and angry: "Don't talk nonsense, take your life!" With a false move, the sword went sideways and came directly at Bai Xiaoyao's neck. His moves are fierce and fatal, Bai Xiaoyao sneered, "I don't know what is dead or alive", threw away the candle, and fought with the other party.

The scattered killers also participated, and the sound of swords sang in the night. After all, Bai Xiaoyao had many years of experience, and quickly knocked down three killers, and the remaining killers didn't even pause, and continued to rush up. Bai Xiaoyao expected that it was a dead soldier sent in his heart, but he calmed down a lot, he didn't think about how to escape, but to catch one of the killers and see who was going to kill him?

However, it backfired, the killer killed five people and injured three people, seeing that only the two people who were the tail and the tail were left, Bai Xiaoyao knew that this was for the sake of the rest of the people, only the tail, and he had never fought with the other party. It's a pity that I went to burn incense for my mother today, and I didn't even have a knife with a sesame seed on my body, and I stayed in the palace for a few days to deal with the tasks sent by the Son of Heaven, which caused too little rest and gradually lost my physical strength, and the movements in my hands gradually slowed down.

The killer seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and accelerated it even more, Bai Xiaoyao had to give up the idea of capturing the killer alive, and persuaded him to surrender instead: "Who are you?" Why did you kill me? ”

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and the people of the rivers and lakes naturally abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes." The killer only said this, and the sword swept over again, Bai Xiaoyao dodged steadily, but because his movements were too agile, he ignored the picture scroll hidden in the cuffs, but when he heard a soft sound, the picture scroll fell to the ground, and Bai Xiaoyao couldn't care about the fight with the other party, so he was going to pick up the picture scroll. said that it was too late, and suddenly Bai Xiaoyao heard a sneer, and then suddenly a raging flame suddenly ignited around him, it was him, the killer who had never shot at the end! There is phosphorus in the picture scroll! When Bai Xiaoyao was awake, he wanted to rush out of the door quickly, but he was bounced back by a force and fell to the ground in an instant!

"Poof!" He spit out a few mouthfuls of blood one after another, a stream of blood boiling in his body, but it was burning in the opposite direction, he raised his head, and in the sky-high firelight, he vaguely saw a person's vague side face, and the man even chuckled: "You have done too much evil, don't blame me!" ”

He wanted to operate pranayama, but now everything was in vain, and he could only watch the firelight, coming more and more, getting closer and closer to him......

On the bluestone path, Yongsheng Hou walked with his hands in his hands, and beside him was Mrs. Bai. After the couple had dinner, Mrs. Bai suggested going outside, having been a husband and wife for more than ten years, Yongsheng Marquis was straightforward in whatever he said: "The matter of the title I just said, you can handle it as soon as possible, and after you ask for the decree, the decree will soon come down." Yongsheng Hou said confidently, he knew the friendship between his son and the Son of Heaven, and felt that it was a matter of time before his son inherited his title, but it was just a formality.

Madame Bai said gently: "Master Hou should have been like this a long time ago, but, such a big thing, should you wait?" ”

The wait in Mrs. Bai's mouth refers to her biological son, the second young master of the Yongsheng Hou Mansion, the second young master likes to travel the most, and he is not at home all the year round, and the Yongsheng Hou also went by him. He thought for a moment and said, "He yearns for a free life, so he doesn't have to wait." But don't worry, even if Yao'er inherits the title, our Yongsheng Marquis Mansion will never be separated. ”

The implication is that the eldest son will never be wronged by the second son, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai choked up when she heard this, and what she wanted to say, she still swallowed it. She leaned her head on the shoulder of Yongsheng Hou and muttered to herself, "I know that Hou Ye has us in his heart." ”

Suddenly, I saw a small guy running in a hurry and reported: "Master Hou, madam, there is a fire in Xiyuan." ”

There weren't many people living in Xiyuan, and Marquis Yongsheng didn't care, but Madam Bai's face changed greatly, she screamed "Yao'er", and ran forward......
