Then he got up and went to the main hall, calling people to make tea, and after a while, Tong Jinghe walked in.

"I've seen the city lord."

Qi Xiao nodded casually, pointed to the position of his head, and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"What the hell is it that you are so anxious to see me?"

Hearing the displeasure in Qi Xiao's tone, Tong Jinghe was a little nervous and frightened and told him about the loss of his small warehouse.

After listening to this, Qi Xiao put the teacup in his hand back on the table with a "knock", and glared at him angrily, "Since it was stolen, you should go to catch the thief, what's the use of you looking for me?" Do you have to turn the entire Sifang City over for the sake of those few hundred fruits? ”

"The city lord misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Seeing that the other party was angry, Tong Jinghe hurriedly explained: "This thief only steals a hundred fruits, but the other things have not been touched at all, which is too strange." ”

Hearing this, an intriguing smile appeared on Qi Xiao's face, and he casually picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip gently.

"I didn't take anything else from you, so I guess I can't look at it. Do you have any great treasures in your storeroom? ”

As soon as Qi Xiao's words fell, Tong Jinghe chuckled in his heart, secretly annoyed, he was really stupid, why did he talk so much nonsense!

"Where, it's just some spirit stones and gadgets." He forced a smile on his face.

Qi Xiao put down the teacup lightly and said slightly, "What are you nervous about?" Are you still afraid that I will covet your treasure? ”

"It's not, it's just ......"

"Alright, don't explain. Say, what do you want? Qi Xiao waved his hand disapprovingly, stopping the other party's words.

In Tong Jinghe's opinion, Qi Xiao had just lost a large amount of money, and his hands were tight, if he knew that his small treasury had a lot of things, he might open his mouth to him, so he was very cautious, for fear of bleeding again.

In fact, he was too worried, if he really lost money. How could Qi Xiao still be so kind to him right now?

Although Mo Yun left and asked them to prepare 500,000 spirit stones each, so far, she has not appeared.

Seeing Qi Xiao loosen his mouth, Tong Jinghe hurriedly climbed up the pole. "I doubt there is a thief. Otherwise, how could they quietly enter my warehouse and steal something? You know, that prohibition requires a unique method to break it, maybe it's someone lurking around me, maybe taking advantage of my unpreparedness to get a glimpse or two. That's why ......"

"You want to borrow a golden lark?"

Tong Jinghe smiled wryly: "Exactly." ”

The golden lark is a thumb-sized sparrow with pale yellow fluff that is extremely fast and can soar straight into the clouds. When the wings are spread, the wings will refract a faint golden light in the sun, hence the name golden lark.

In that case, you can be straightforward. You and I have been friends for many years, will I refuse this little thing? Qi Xiao sneered angrily.

"Brother Xiao is magnanimous, he is my villain."

Qi Xiao didn't say anything more, and called someone to get the golden lark. Uneasy, Chong Tong Jinghe admonished: "This golden lark is born noble, and it must be fed with the best elixir every day, you should be careful, don't starve it." ”

"Yes." Tong Jinghe happily took the golden lark from Qi Xiao's hand and looked at it carefully.

The golden lark was kept in a filamentous golden cage, and a small mass jumped around in the cage, making a faint "chirping" sound like a mosquito and fly from time to time.

Qi Xiao sat down again, picked up the teacup and prepared to send off the guests, but suddenly, put down the teacup and said, "That's right." What's going on on in the Liu family now? ”

Tong Jinghe withdrew his gaze from the golden lark, "No." Since that fight, the Liu family has all withdrawn. ”

Qi Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, and then quickly let go. Nodding absently.

"But--" Just as Qi Xiao was about to serve tea to the guests, Tong Jinghe spoke up again.

Qi Xiao had no choice but to withdraw the hand that wanted to serve the tea, and asked impatiently with a twisted eyebrow, "What else?" ”

"The person the Liu family is looking for is the woman who was rescued by Yuanying Da Neng at the scene of the fighting law that day."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So, she is the current ancestor of the Ye family?" ”

"Exactly."

What is the Liu family looking for her?

The Ye family's discovery of the ore vein had already known to them, although they were very jealous. But because of the aftermath of the fighting method, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Just the coercion contest between the two Yuan Babies has made the entire Dongcheng District dilapidated, and if they do it seriously, the entire Sifang City will probably be destroyed.

And what worries Qi Xiao the most is Tianjimen's attitude towards this matter.

Originally, all the cities in the Xiuzhen Realm had a large protective array, and in the event of an emergency or a beast tide, the protective array must be opened to protect everyone in the city.

However, the large protective array of Sifang City has not been repaired for a long time, and some of the pillars of the formation have been damaged, and the formation cannot be activated. And Qi Xiao has not reported this matter to Tianjimen.

The cost of arranging and maintaining the Great Array of the City Protector needs to be paid for by the City Lord's Mansion, and since he took office, he has been extravagant and extravagant, resulting in insufficient revenue and expenditure, and even the spirit stones in the inventory have been spent a lot, and he can't come up with enough money to repair the Great Array of City Protection.

Before, the City Lord's Mansion had Xiang Yifeng in charge, and even if something happened, he could be asked to come forward to control it, so Qi Xiao was not worried that something would happen.

Unfortunately, two days after Xiang Yifeng left, something happened in the city.

In the face of the contest between the two primordial infants, Qi Xiao was helpless, and the city protection array could not be opened, so that it led to the serious damage to the entire East City.

Although the East City had been re-established at this time, there was no news from the Tianji Gate for a long time, and Qi Xiao was worried about this matter.

Putting aside the matter of fighting methods, Qi Xiao stared at Tong Jinghe with doubts, "Then why did the Liu family find her?" ”

Tong Jing shook his head, "No, I haven't found out anything after checking for half a month." Later, when I saw that they had all withdrawn, I also sent back all my men. ”

"Since you've checked everything, why don't you check it out?"

Seeing that the other party was displeased, he hurriedly explained, "After the last fight, all the Tong family's shops in Dongcheng were damaged and needed to be renovated, and there has been a shortage of manpower, so I ......."

"Okay, I got it." Qi Xiao didn't want to hear anything related to the fighting method anymore, so he instead frowned and asked, "Then you didn't doubt that the Liu family and the Ye family would have anything?" ”

"This ...... I didn't think about it. The Ye family and the Liu family have never had any dealings! Tong Jinghe smiled disapprerovingly, "And." There is no need for them to come and go. One is in Sifang City, and the other is in Lingjiu Town, separated by such a distance, they are all declining families. Both sides are dragging. ”

"Not necessarily." Qi Xiao snorted coldly, "The current Ye family is not the original Ye family, with the support of Yuanying behind it, holding a large iron mine, and forming an alliance with the Wang family. Look, in a few years, maybe the place of your Tong family will be vacated for others! ”

Hearing this, Tong Jinghe's face changed greatly, and he blurted out in disbelief: "Impossible! The ranking of this family, in addition to industry, talents, and resources, the strength of the ancestor is also the top priority. The ancestor of the Ye family is only in the early stage of Jindan, and the ancestor of my Tong family has already achieved the great consummation of Jindan, this is ......"

"But there is a great power behind the family, what is behind your Tong family?"

"This、Isn't there a city lord you take care of the Tong family?" Tong Jing replied with a sneer.

Although he knew that the other party was complimenting him. Qi Xiao's heart still felt very comfortable, and he smiled at him casually, "Okay, don't flatter me." My friendship with you is not a matter of one or two days, and I will take care of it myself. ”

"Thank you, Brother Xiao. So, the matter of the Liu family? ”

"Let's look at it again, the Liu family has declined, so there is no need to spend all your thoughts on them. The most important thing at the moment is the Wang and Ye families, you keep an eye on them. Especially that Wang Kuncheng! Speaking of this, Qi Xiao couldn't help gritting his teeth, and then squinted at Tong Jinghe, "How was the thing you did last time?" ”

"Someone has been sent."

"Yes." Qi Xiao smiled with satisfaction. Quietly hid the light of the owl under his eyes.

After getting a letter from Shopkeeper Ding, saying that Yi's health had improved a lot, Ye Zi called two strong men and carried Ouyang Xiao to Shopkeeper Ding's inn.

Shopkeeper Ding has moved back to Jinfu Inn, oh no, this place has been named "Qingju" Inn by Yezi.

The inn has not been repaired. Shopkeeper Ding and Yi Shi both live in the cave mansion in the backyard.

As soon as I stepped into Yi's cave, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down, sewing something in her hands. Ye Zi looked at her carefully.

The other party's body has long since regained its previous withering, although it is still a little thin, but his complexion is much better, his hair is neatly coiled at the back of his head, and he has a silver hairpin, which looks very dignified and graceful.

"Miss Ye?"

Yi Shi raised his head when he heard the movement, and after seeing the leaves, he called hesitantly.

Seeing the other party's bright eyes, Ye Zi suddenly reacted, she had been thinking about where there was some discord in this scene just now, and now she finally understood that it was the other party's eyes.

The last time I saw her, she couldn't see anything. But it's only been three or four days, and I'm able to sew things up. It seems that the effect of that grass is really good!

"It's me, Aunt Yi." Ye Zi smiled at her.

Yi Shi hurriedly put down the things in his hand, got up and walked slowly to Ye Zi, his face was full of gratitude and joy, "Quick, Miss Ye sit down." ”

Ye Zi could see that the other party's body was still very weak, so he helped her with his hand, "You're welcome." Aunt Yi, I ......"

Seeing the joy on the other party's face, she couldn't bear to use Ouyang Xiao's matter to hit the other party, but she had to say, she hesitated for a moment before she said softly:

"I actually came back with my child."

"Huh? Is it back when you're young? Yi Shi was overjoyed, his eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and he stared at her for a moment.

Ye Zi nodded with difficulty, turned his head and shouted outside, "Come in." ”

Seeing this, Yi Shi hurriedly cast his eyes to the door of the cave, his eyes were full of ardent expectation, and he involuntarily murmured:

"Small, small, ......"

When he saw two strong men carrying a pale little man lying on a stretcher into the cave, the excitement and joy on Yi's face suddenly turned into surprise and grief, and tears flowed down his face.

"What's going on? Small! Small! ”

Yi Shi staggered forward, threw himself on the stretcher, trembled and carefully stroked Ouyang Xiao's pale and gloomy face, and choked up without crying:

"Little, what's wrong with you? Woo...... Open your eyes and see, I'm my mother...... Small! Woo......" (To be continued.) )
