Hu Wangfu, Hu Xiu's small courtyard

By this time, Camellia had woken up.

I was reading a book in my room when I heard a noise outside.

"You two brothers and sisters live in the room on the right, there is already someone on the left."

"Who are you, you ask? Oh~ It's a friend of mine, Camellia. ”

Hearing this, Camellia slowly stood up and rubbed her neck, this neck was sore, it should have been a pillow that she slept on yesterday.

The sound of "click~" pushed open the wooden door.

"I've seen Childe, I've seen a few guests."

Seeing Hu Xiu with a few unknown people in the courtyard, he asked them to say goodbye one after another.

"Camellia, awake?"

"Well, who are these people that Childe brought?"

Camellia looked at the brother and sister, as well as Ying Jiu.

"Well, these two will live here in the future, you can call them... Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, the one in the back is called Jiu'er. ”

Since then, Black Kill and White Evil have new names, Xiaobai and Xiaohei.

"Black and White?"

Camellia hesitated, it didn't sound like a human name.

"Hmm."

"A few days ago, I had already asked my subordinates to clean up the house, and I originally wanted to live for your personal maid, but since there are guests, let's let the guests live."

This maid is naturally a little girl.

This camellia is really on the road, I thought that cleaning up the house, I would have to clean up for another afternoon, but now it has saved a lot of effort.

Hu Xiu and a group of people entered the house, and the decoration in the house was not much compared to the camellia. It's just a screen, and a very low desk, plus a few chairs.

Walking through the screen, the place is much more spacious, but no matter how big it is, there is only one bed.

"Xiaobai, it doesn't seem that there is an extra bed, why don't you find a place to live with my little servant for a while?"

"Little guy? My lord, are you talking about the maid in the clothes of the inferior? ”

"Hmm."

"No, my sister sleeps on the bed at night, and I make a bunk on the floor."

Hu Xiu frowned, even if this is a brother and sister, it is not good to be too close.

"Xiao Fan, you go find a few people, move a bed, and get a few screens."

"Oh oh~"

Xiao Fan nodded a few times and trotted out.

After a while, the little guy came over with a group of subordinates, carrying things.

"Put the screen in the middle, put it in a row, yes, yes, put it like that, move the bed there..."

Hu Xiu commanded, dividing the back room into two halves.

In this way, the two brothers and sisters can live well.

"I'll have someone bring the futon at night."

"It's okay, our two brothers and sisters also have your attention, and I thank you here."

Bai Sha bowed and thanked him, and this polite feeling was full.

"No, I guess the two of you are not familiar with this environment, Xiao Fan."

"Huh?"

The little guy answered stupidly.

"Take Xiaobai and Xiaohei to familiarize yourself with the environment of the palace."

"Me?"

Xiao Fan seems to be still afraid of the brother and sister.

"Yes."

"Okay~ Childe."

Waiting for the little guy to walk away with the pair, Hu Xiu casually found a reason to branch out the camellia, leaving Ying Jiu alone.

"How's the news of Hua Sixteen's family checked?"

"He does have a wife in a village on the outskirts of Ping'an City, but we also discovered a secret about him."

"Secret? Tell me about it? ”

Ying Jiu looked around, made sure that there was no one, and mysteriously put his mouth close to Hu Xiu's ear.

“……”

"Is that true?"

If Ying Jiu wasn't teasing him, then what Hua Sixteen said before was most likely a lie.

"People have let me get it back, how can it not be true."

"And the guards in that place are so strict, it doesn't look like a show."

"This flower sixteen is really not honest, when he deceives people, his face is not red and his heart is not beating."

Hu Xiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"That's it, I'll go to Linglong Pavilion first and bring Hua Sixteen out, and you go to Shadow Pavilion and bring people out for me."

"No, let me go with you, what if you encounter another killer on the way?"

"It can't be that coincidental......"

"Young master, let me follow you."

Ying Jiu reported Hu Xiu's arm, his chest was tightly pressed, this really doesn't treat me as an outsider.

"Okay, I'll let you follow, but can you let go of your hand......"

On the outskirts of Ping'an City, Linglong Pavilion

The old man I saw yesterday is still at the door of the attic today, holding the same fan in his hand, basking in the sun after the snow.

"Young Master Hu, here again today?"

"Well, Uncle Bai Sheng, I want to take Hua Sixteen out of Linglong Pavilion, can I?"

"It's okay, young master, you wait below, and the old man will bring it down for you."

The old man stood up on crutches. He had just taken a few steps, but he turned his head again and looked at Shadow Nine.

"This girl seems to be not alone with the girl who came with her yesterday.

"This is my friend, called Jiu'er."

"Wine? Well, when I smell the smell, there is an aura of acquaintance, and the young master seems to have it on him, but it is relatively light. ”

The old man sniffed the air carefully, as if he had smelled something.

"Girl, do you know Fengxian?"

"The family teacher's name is Xu Fengxian, I don't know if it's the phoenix that the old gentleman said."

Ying Jiu, who had always been a little jumpy, seemed to suddenly become much more restrained towards the old man in front of him.

"That's right, the girl only told her that her name was Fengxian. In this blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, but I didn't expect that the girl had an apprentice. Alas~ I'm old, I'm really old, and I only have a handful of old bones left. ”

The old man shook his head, as if reminiscing, and walked into the Linglong Pavilion step by step.

"Whew~"

When the old man entered the Linglong Pavilion, Ying Jiu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"You seem to be afraid of him, what's wrong with you?"

This old man is very kind, kind, and soft-spoken, why is she so worried?

"Young Master, can't you feel the qi he exudes? It's even more terrifying than my master, I'm afraid that if he slaps down, the two of us will have to die here. ”

"What? What is emanating? ”

Hu Xiu didn't understand what this emitted qi meant.

"Oh~ I forgot, the young master hasn't reached the sixth order yet, so he can't feel the qi."

“……”

Girl, while you are saying this, are you mocking a certain family?

"You just said that he is more terrifying than you, which means that he is more powerful than your master?"

Hu Xiuke remembered that she said that her master was an eighth-order martial artist, if he was stronger than her~

"It should be, so I suspect that old man has the strength of the ninth order."

"You're behind this, just say he's an old man, is it really good?"

"It's okay, can he still hear me?"

"Ahem~"

In the process of chatting with Ying Jiu, Uncle Bai Sheng stood behind the two of them at some point, still carrying Hua Sixteen in his hand.

It's a lot faster, it's only been a long time, and I'm back with people.

"Little girl, I heard everything you said."

The old man narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face were all folded together.

"I've almost forgotten how long it's been since no one joked with me, and now people still call me an old man, which feels good."

"This flower sixteen, all limbs are broken, I have to carry him over."

This flower sixteen was carried by a thin old man, but it looked abrupt, and there was always a strange feeling.

"Is there a way to connect the limbs?"

Hu Xiu didn't want to carry him on his back and run ten kilometers on the road. It's not that I'm afraid of being tired, but I can't stand the smell on his body.

"Yes, his limbs are just out of place, no matter what. This little guy is also a fourth-order, and after connecting it, after a while, he will be able to go. ”

"That ......"

After this, I was suddenly a little embarrassed to say it, I had already troubled the old man to bring people down, so I couldn't trouble him to connect the bones again.

didn't wait for Hu Xiu to finish speaking, he heard the sound of "click~click~", and Hua Sixteen snorted again for some reason.

"The bones have been connected, young master, if you need it, just say it, do we still need to be polite between us?"

"Thank you, Uncle Bai Sheng."

"Again?"

"No, no, no, I did it subconsciously."

"If you don't smell you, young master, the smell on your body hasn't changed, I have to wonder if the young master has changed someone."

The old man stroked his beard and joked half-jokingly.

But he didn't know that the young master in front of you was really a different person.

"Personality always changes."

Hu Xiu smiled on his face, but the palm of his hand was already sweating, and the old man really said it.

"I'll take the people away, Uncle Bai Sheng, goodbye."

"Goodbye? What does that mean? But what does it mean to see each other again? ”

"Uh~ yes."

Goodbye is a colloquial word, and goodbye is the same meaning, Hu Xiu has never thought about this word, what exactly it means.

Grinding, this flower sixteen doesn't know if it's intentional, or if it's really just the right legs and feet, and it's inconvenient to walk. When we reached the gate of Ping'an, the sun began to set.

Entered the city of peace, and there was nothing wrong along the way.

"Jiu'er, Hua Sixteen, you can take it to the Shadow Pavilion, let Hua Sixteen wash her body, and let them meet by the way."

"Tomorrow will be the day when the truth will be revealed......"

Hu Xiu said that, then left and returned to King Hu's mansion.

He promised to give the brother and sister the bedding he had prepared, and he hadn't called anyone to pick it up yet.

……

Tightly, it was late at night, Hu Xiu had already fallen asleep, and Hu Feiwei was in a hurry, so he returned to his palace.

Yu'er's mother helped him change his clothes, and her expression was quite complaining.

"Why did you come back so late today? I finally had some free time, and I ate and fed with me and Hugh Er in the evening, but you didn't come. ”

"Madam, I also have something to do, so I missed a little time."

"Something else, do you still have me and Hugh in your heart?"

Yu'er clicked on his chest, but was dragged into Hu Feiwei's arms with his backhand.

"Yes, why don't you have it?"

"Hmph~"

Yu'er Niangjiao snorted twice, and the hand she was holding on to her back tightened a little tighter.

"By the way, a corpse was found in the house today."

"Corpses? Where it was found. ”

"In the abandoned cellar a few years ago, the deceased may have been Hugh'er's nurse."

"Nurse, it's impossible, wasn't she killed by someone by mistake thirteen years ago?"

Hu Feiwei's big face was a little more serious.

"At first, I thought it was Xiang Ming's nonsense, but the necklace won't be fake."

"That's strange, who was the person who was killed thirteen years ago?"

Hu Feiwei pulled his beard and frowned.

"In addition to this incident, there is one other exception."

"Tell me."

"The people of the Shadow Pavilion have captured the Black Killer and the White Demon and handed them over to Hugh Er to deal with. As a result, Hugh placed them in a side house in his small courtyard. ”

"What? Instead of killing them, but placing them? ”

Hu Feiwei was startled at first, and his eyes were round.

"Hugh'er, you are a woman's kindness! No, I'll report to the emperor tomorrow and ask him to come and arrest people. ”

After thinking for a while, Hu Feiwei's brows were still furrowed.

"The emperor probably won't care about this, because this is Xiu'er's own choice."

……

At the same time, in the imperial palace on the exception side, in the imperial study, a man in bright yellow clothes sat there, correcting the recital, and two half-aged people knelt there.

"Ma Gan, Wu Zhong, have you caught Zhou Shen and that pair of brothers and sisters this week?"

"Now the whole city has been searched, but I can't find Zhou Shen. But the brother and sister ......"

The person kneeling on the ground secretly raised his head slightly, and saw that the emperor was still expressionless, and his head lowered fiercely.

"Go on."

"That pair of brothers and sisters were taken to King Hu's Mansion by the people of the Shadow Pavilion and handed over to Hu Xiu."

"Hu Xiu, how did you deal with it?"

"Put... Placed them in his yard. ”

Hu Guizi, the pen in his hand paused for a moment.

The two eunuchs lying down below were pressed even lower.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send someone tomorrow to arrest those brothers and sisters in the Secret Prison Mansion?"

"No, let go of the brother and sister in advance, just search for Zhou Shen in the Secret Prison Mansion."

"Yes."

"Let's go down."

Hu Guizi pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and beckoned to the two people below. The two eunuchs went backwards, stepping on small steps, and went down.

At this time, the emperor didn't have the heart to correct the folds anymore, put down the pen, walked to the window, looked at the imperial city in the night, as if he thought of something, and then took a deep breath.
