"Master Hou, you are finally here, you have to be the master of the concubine, this thief openly contradicts the concubine, it can be seen that he does not take you, the Marquis of Pingyang, in his eyes at all!"

However, when Xiao Shi saw his husband appear, he immediately cried to him, and even put on a bitter face as if he had been greatly wronged, as if she was the biggest sufferer in the world.

Not only did she not repent in the slightest, but intensified it, and even blamed Lin Yan out of nothing.

This made Lin Yan really unbearable, and scolded in his heart: This mother-in-law is really hateful, the master tried his best to restrain herself, but I didn't expect her to be even more wanton and distorted, I really don't know why Yingxue has such an aunt.

However, Pingyang Hou obviously wouldn't believe it easily, he knew his wife very well, so he said in a low voice: "Madam, this is not the place you should come, you better go back and take care of Wei'er!"

Naturally, he couldn't reprimand Xiao too much in front of outsiders, so he could only try to make big things small things.

However, the Xiao family refused to let Lin Yan go, "Master Hou, this thief almost killed Yingxue at the beginning, and now he has come to harm our Wei'er, how can you tolerate him continuing to stay in the Hou Mansion?"

"Madam, where is this, Wei'er suddenly had a strange illness, how can it have anything to do with Lin Xian's nephew, as a mother, you don't take good care of Wei'er, but you are here to innocently accuse others, how do you let Ben Hou deal with himself!"

Pingyang Hou's face became more and more ugly, and his tone was also obviously aggravated, and secretly contained a threat, how could a person with a head and a face like him endure this kind of thing happening in his own house.

Seeing that Pingyang Hou's face was extremely cold, and there was obviously a warning in his eyes, knowing that he was already angry, Xiao Shi's heart suddenly became uneasy, and he didn't dare to say more, and immediately turned around and left.

Although he was very disgusted with the Xiao family, Lin Yan had a good impression of Pingyang Hou, and he couldn't bear to see him so embarrassed, "Since the little county lord is infected with a strange disease, Hou Ye should take care of it more, I might as well leave here, so as not to distract Hou Ye!"

Pingyang Hou glanced at Lin Yan even higher, and secretly thought in his heart: This son is calm and gentle, and he is quite old in talking and doing, and he is willing to take out the blood melting elixir, without mentioning any conditions, he must also look at Yingxue's face, it is hard to imagine that he will do something to hurt Yingxue, it is estimated that there must be a hidden secret.

After all, he is a commander who commands thousands of troops, not only calm and sophisticated, thoughtful, but also very human at the angle and depth of observing problems, and thinking about problems will not only look at the surface.

In order not to let Lin Yan misunderstand, but also to try to keep it, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be surprised by the virtuous nephew, let alone be like this, don't take the words of the cheap to heart!"

"The marquis's words are serious, the marquise is Yingxue's dear aunt, how can the little nephew have the heart to blame!" Lin Yan then said, "I don't know what the condition of the little county lord is?"

Now that the woman has left, Lin Yan doesn't have much pressure, and he has already vaguely guessed that Pingyang Hou definitely didn't come here casually, and nine times out of ten it has something to do with the illness of the little county lord, because Mu Lao's identity is there.

"The little girl's situation is extremely bad!" Asked about his daughter, Pingyang Hou's mood suddenly became extremely heavy, and he looked at Lin Yan and Mu Lao again, and looked apologetic, "Actually, Ben Hou also came to invite Mu Lao on purpose, but I didn't expect that Cheap Nei would come first!"

Mu Lao hurriedly replied: "Master Hou doesn't need to blame himself! the old man is going to see the little county lord!"

"I'm tired of getting old!" Hang Qian's heart suddenly rose with hope.

Mu Lao said again: "Lin Yan must also go together, and I hope that the Hou Ye will agree!"

Hang Qian was slightly stunned at first, but he also immediately remembered that Yue Chonglin had mentioned to him the "mysterious old man" behind Lin Yan, and immediately understood Mu Lao's intentions, and then nodded without hesitation.

In fact, the reason why Yue Chonglin mentioned Lin Yan was also based on this consideration!

And Lin Yan has no reason to refuse, nor should he refuse, but he still has a faint expectation......

————

This time, Lin Yan did not let Qianxunyue continue to follow him, but left her alone in the attic, and he and Mu Lao and Yang Qi went with Pingyang Hou to see the condition of the little county lord.

Lin Yan, Mu Lao and Yang Qi did not go to the reception hall again, but followed the Marquis of Pingyang directly to the residence of the little county lord.

This is an elegant loft with carved beams and columns, which is unique, and the surrounding scenery is also pleasant!

It stands to reason that no strangers are allowed to enter the boudoir of the little county lord, but now is a very moment, and Pingyang Hou naturally will not abide by the dead rules, and directly take the three of them into the attic.

The chandelier on the roof made the light in the room very bright, but when Lin Yan entered this attic, he found that the atmosphere was abnormal, and the first thing he noticed was Xiao Shi, her face was gloomy, her eyes were cold, and she was obviously angry.

The older man on the side was sinking like water, anxious, and his nervous mood made his face wrinkled, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

There were also two young maids standing with their hands down, their eyes glazed over, and their clothes still had a few tear marks, apparently once torn.

As for the items in the house, Lin Yan also found that some had obviously been moved, there were still a small number of porcelain fragments on the ground, and some furniture surfaces also had traces of bumps.

All this points to the fact that there was chaos and even fighting.

It seems that the little county lord is really suddenly abnormal, and even crazy hair!

"Boy, you've met an old friend!" At this moment, Qi Tian's voice appeared.

"Hmm, how do you say that?" Lin Yan suddenly wondered.

"Hey...... Why did you forget that kid, it's a guy who looks a bit like a girl, I didn't expect her to be a girl!"

"It's him!" Lin Yan immediately remembered the fake Pingyang Hou Shizi, "Are you sure it's him?"

"It should be 'her', the father of the family has repeatedly emphasized that he is the 'little county lord', why haven't you changed your thinking yet?"

"Is she really a girl?"

"There's no mistake this time! I just don't know how she pretended to be such a boy at that time, it's really strange!" Qi Tian remembered that at that time in the Qingluo City City Lord's Mansion, he and Lin Yanke both questioned the gender of the 'Pingyang Hou Shizi', and they also explored a little, but they never found strong evidence.

Of course, none of them are obscene, and they have not explored the key parts of the people, otherwise how could they not find "strong evidence"!

Even if Lin Yan was asked to do that, Lin Yan would not do that kind of thing.

"Since the little county lord is her, why did she suddenly go crazy?" Lin Yan was more concerned about the core issue.

"It's very likely to have something to do with you, don't you forget, you tried to communicate with the stars for her at that time, although I personally guided you, but in the end it still failed, and it may have left sequelae, of course, it is not excluded that the monster in her dantian suddenly woke up!"

"I remember that there seemed to be no way to help her seal that double-headed ghost power at that time, but shouldn't there be a problem so soon?" Lin Yan didn't think that the little county lord's illness had anything to do with his communication with the stars for her, and he was even more suspicious that it was the monsters in her dantian that were causing trouble.

"There's no point in you and me guessing here, let's find a way to probe her later, but you happen to be a sealer now, you should be able to try to seal that monster, and you can also use her to practice and start learning the skills of a soul master." ”

"She's Yingxue's cousin, how could I use her as an experiment!" Lin Yan couldn't bear this.

"It's for her good!"

......

Just as Lin Yan was discussing with Qi Tian, Hang Gai brought a middle-aged man with an old man wearing a special robe beside him.

Pingyang Hou immediately noticed the visitor, "Master Fang, I didn't expect you to come too?"

This person is Fang Hongwei, the head of the Fang family in Pingyang City, who also appeared at the Duobaolou auction in Qingluo City before, and was originally going to secretly look for the person who bought the jade slip, but he rushed back to Pingyang City in advance because of something important.

He hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and greeted with a sincere face: "Master Hou, the contemptible people just heard about the little county lord, so they rushed over immediately." I wonder if the situation of the little county lord can get better now?"

"It's bothering the head of the Fang family, but the little girl hasn't improved yet. Hang Qian's expression was low, but he also noticed the old man beside Fang Hongwei, because the robe on this old man's body was very eye-catching, which was the unique style of the Alchemist Alliance.

Especially the three flame symbols on the old man's chest, which represented that the old man was a third-order alchemist.

"Master Fang, I don't know ...... this master is" Obviously, although Hang Qian could recognize the old man's clothing and identity, he didn't know the old man himself.

"Master Hou, this is Master Gu, and he is also the deputy leader of the Alchemist Alliance, and he happened to be in Pingyang City, so the contemptible people invited him here. Fang Hongwei hurriedly introduced, "Master Gu not only has a very high status in the alliance, but also has a good reputation in the alchemy world of the entire Qingliang Kingdom, Master Hou can rest assured, with Master Gu's move, he will definitely be able to rejuvenate with his hands!"

When Fang Hongwei mentioned the title of "Deputy Alliance Leader", Master Gu was very accustomed to showing a look of arrogance.

"It turned out to be Master Gu, I have admired it for a long time!" Although he was quite displeased with Master Gu's arrogance, Hang Qian did not show anything, but was very happy, and his tone was quite polite.

For him, the most important thing now is to be able to have a truly powerful alchemist to treat his daughter's condition, and everything else is secondary.

Of course, he had also heard of Master Gu's name, the deputy leader of the Alchemist Alliance in the Qingliang Kingdom, and this title alone was scary enough, not to mention him, the dignified Marquis of Pingyang, even the royal prince of the Qingliang Kingdom had to give up a little thin face.

Because the Alchemist Alliance has a great influence in the Wasteland, even the five major sects dare not underestimate it, not to mention that it is only a country in the secular world.

However, as soon as this Gu Master opened his mouth, he was extremely provocative, "Master Hou, since the situation of Ling Qianjin is not good, why are there still idle people here?"

Obviously, he had noticed Mu Lao, Lin Yan and Yang Qi, especially Mu Lao, who had made no secret of their intentions.

Mu Lao naturally discovered him, and two eyes full of hatred immediately burst out, "Who is the old man, it turns out to be the old ghost of Gu who is known as 'killing people without losing their lives', you used a lot of people's lives to practice back then, that's why you got this nickname, why, do you also want to use the little county lord to practice?"

Mu Lao was even more astonishing, which surprised everyone!

It was obvious that he had a deep personal vendetta against this Gu master, and it was like fire and water.

"You...... You're spewing blood!" Master Gu's face suddenly turned red, and he was furious, if it wasn't for the Pingyang Hou Mansion, I'm afraid he would have done it immediately!

Back then, in order to develop his own elixir, he had practiced with many people, although very few people in the outside world knew about this kind of thing, but it was well known in the Alchemist Alliance, but at this moment, how could he admit that if Pingyang Hou listened to this, then how could he still let him treat the little county lord.

What's more, once his name spreads, it will have a great impact on his reputation, and who would dare to ask him for treatment.

But even so, Pingyang Hou himself, his wife Xiao Shi, Yue Lao and Hang Gai all had uncertain expressions, and Mu Lao dared to say this kind of thing in public, which means that this Master Gu has more or less a bad record.

Lin Yan secretly applauded, no matter how true what Mu Lao said, it would definitely have a great impact on Pingyang Hou. What father would dare to let a guy with a criminal record treat his daughter!

"Master Hou, don't listen to the nonsense of the treacherous villain, that is a malicious slander against Master Gu! Master Gu has always been high-spirited and highly respected, Fang is willing to vouch for Master Gu, that kind of thing is absolutely nothing!"

Fang Hongwei saw that Pingyang Hou's face was extremely ugly, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly excused Master Gu, he came here with a mission, it was the third prince Liang Rui's confidant McLaw who found him and asked him to find ways to exert influence on Pingyang Hou.

Win over the Marquis of Pingyang, and strive to get the support of the Marquis of Pingyang, which was mentioned to the top priority position by the third prince Liang Rui, originally he handed over this task to McLaud, but because the situation in the imperial capital suddenly changed, Liang Rui urgently needed McLaud to go back to deal with some affairs, McLaud also rushed back to Fengtian City in a hurry, and before leaving, he entrusted this burden to Fang Hongwei.

Fang Hongwei also hurried back to Pingyang City from Qingluo City in a hurry.

If Master Gu was abandoned by the Marquis of Pingyang because of Mu Lao's words, or even driven out of the Hou Mansion, it would be difficult for Fang's grand mission to be completed.

Master Gu also tried his best to defend himself, "What the Fang family master said is reasonable, Master Hou, the old man is the deputy leader of the alchemy master alliance, and his status is extremely respectful, how can he be that kind of filthy person, he Mu Yanji slandered the old man like this, this is obviously intended to prevent the old man from treating the little county master!"

His eloquence was no worse than Fang Hongwei, and his face was as thick as a city wall, and he snorted coldly, and continued to attack Mu Lao: "He Mu Yanji was the one who was expelled from my alchemist alliance back then, and now what kind of face does he have to call himself an alchemist again!"

"The old man has always been upright, and he is even more worthy of his heart, unlike those self-proclaimed guys who will only sell their fame and reputation, and do some unsightly things, this kind of talent has no face, and he keeps saying that he is an alchemist, which is really an insult to the profession of alchemist!"

Mu Lao is also-for-tat and does not give in.

"It's really ridiculous! If you Mu Yanji are doing the right thing, then why was you expelled from the Alchemist Alliance? Besides, what kind of place do you think of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and you also take these two boys, they are your disciples, I'm afraid you just want to use the little county lord as a training tool!"

Gu Lao Ghost was foaming at the mouth, and at the same time, he also pulled Lin Yan and Yang Qi into the whirlpool, because in his opinion, Lin Yan and Yang Qi were obviously not qualified to appear on this occasion, and the only explanation could only be Mu Lao's disciples.
