Hou Qu looked at Liu Yichen's expression, and seemed to understand what he was thinking, so he was stunned for a while and waved his hand. "I really want to eat lotus seed soup again."

Song Zhiyao would also be interested, and went to the back kitchen to serve those pastries. Taking advantage of the time when she left, Hou Qu's lips moved lightly and muttered. "Adult ......"

He then did not dare to speak, his face flushed with shame. "My brother, not the disloyal and unfilial person, no matter what, will not talk nonsense."

Liu Yichen looked at his face and said with a smile. "My good brother, you really think too much, how can you have that kind of worry, impossible."

As the two spoke, the door creaked and opened. It turned out that this person was none other than the general Ren Wang.

Liu Yichen and the others looked at Ren Wang's face, and they were much more yellow and haggard. "I've caught a lot of fine works, all of them were sent by Ling Wangfu over there."

He sat down and smelled the scent wafting from the kitchen over there. "Madame's cooking skills have improved greatly, and I really don't want to leave when I smell that sweet smell."

Looking at Ren Wang's appearance, Liu Yichen couldn't help but smile humorously. "When you're eating, you're still behind, so let's talk first."

While the few of them were eating pastries, Ren Wang said. "There is a lot of news coming from their mouths, but they are all contradictory and unreliable."

Hou Qu on the side, while chewing fragrant shortbread, then spoke. "That's it, let me interrogate them, or not."

His psychology is too anxious, and all the time, he hopes that his brother will come back even if he comes back a little earlier, so that he can feel at ease.

Ren Wang turned his head, looked at him, and said half-jokingly. "Brother, this is a matter of our soldiers, so don't think about it so much."

Hou Qu could see that in his heart, he was not at ease with himself. Hurriedly nodded. "General, the villain will never dare to add a little more trouble."

Looking at his anxious appearance, Liu Yichen also understood what was going on, and said with a smile. "General, take him with you, and naturally it won't get in the way."

Speaking of Liu Yichen, he gave Hou Qu a meaningful look. "Yes, the order of the imperial brother, the villain will never dare to violate it in the slightest."

Seeing a few of them like this, Ren Wang thought. "I promised him, so it's okay, let him relax, maybe he can ask something?"

Soon, Ren Wang took Hou Qu and left the residence. The cold moonlight shone in the room, and only Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen were left.

Song Zhiyao felt very lonely alone, wiped her beautiful white cheeks, felt a little light, and shyly smeared the fat powder.

Liu Yichen looked at her like that, and laughed along. "Yao'er, I really like you more, my previous thoughts have long been forgotten."

The two turned their heads and stared at each other with complicated eyes. Song Zhiyao ran over quickly, hugged Liu Yichen tightly, and snuggled up to each other.

The two of them held on like this for a long time, and everything was silent, and when they went to bed, the light of dawn appeared in the distance, and the rooster crowed loudly.

At the same time, Hou Qu went to the interrogation room and looked at the fine works. One by one, they stared at each other and pretended to know nothing.

Hou Qu came to their side and said with a majestic face. "You people, what you do, naturally know in your own hearts."

Those fine works, looking at Hou Qu's appearance, felt that he was a kind person, and they knelt down to plead with a handful of snot and tears.

"My lord, we really don't know anything, just ordinary people, we just want to do some small business, take advantage of this time, make some windfalls."

As they rushed forward, Hou Qu noticed a black mole on a man's left shoulder, and a cyan squirrel tattooed on it.

When I looked down again, I saw that this man's left hand had six fingers. "Hu Liuzhi, it turned out to be you, I didn't expect to meet so soon."

Looking at Hou Qu's face, the other fine workers were also stunned and didn't know what was going on. The man's face turned pale and he fell to his knees.

"My lord, it's me." Hou Qu said sternly. "I caught you in the Major General's Mansion and didn't let you do that rat stealing dog thing, why did you come here?"

The man bowed his head, sweating profusely. "My lord, thank you for your silver, it's just that King Ling spent a lot of money to hire me."

Hou Qu felt very happy in his heart. "Pull those people aside and follow me." They went alone to a soundproof secret room.

Hu Liuzhi sat down with a look of shame and smiled awkwardly. "It's really a foreign country, and the little ones know something, so they tell the adults what they say, and they don't dare to hide it."

Hou Qu asked urgently. "Then my brother Xiong Li is still alive, right?" He asked, so excited that his heart was in his throat.

Hu Liuzhi listened to those words and replied without thinking. "King Ling caught him and tortured him for a long time, so that the little ones had never seen it so ruthlessly."

Then he cleared his throat again and said. "It's just that he didn't say a word, he just gritted his teeth and wanted to commit suicide, and the prince pulled out his teeth."

Hearing this, Hou Qu's heart was also happy and anxious. "My brother is alive, this is more important than anything else, what are they sending you for?"

After a while, Hu Liuzhi said King Ling's order. It turned out that after he inquired about the news, he was going to the Qinglong Restaurant in the west of the city.

"As for what to do next here, no one has said." Listening to his words, Hou Qu decided to go over there and try his luck.

The restaurant is also very prosperous, and there are red flags hanging on the side. There are many merchants here who buy wine and meat and eat them.

Hou Qu followed Hu Liuzhi, and the two of them were one in front of the other. Got there. As soon as he entered the store, he felt a lot of eyes on him behind him.

"It seems that there is really a saying." Hou Qu muttered quietly, followed Hu Liuzhi, and the two of them found a table by the window and sat down.

A little second over there saw Hu Liuzhi, walked over, and grinned. "I didn't expect adults to be like this, baby, so soon?"

Hou Qu stayed aside and didn't speak. The little second pulled up Hu Liuzhi. "Follow the little one over there, lord, I have something important to convey to you."

Hou Qu looked at them and didn't seem to notice himself, and ordered some wine and meat indiscriminately, eating and drinking. Looking at the figures of the two, they walked farther and farther.

"Don't know what the hell they're trying to do? It's just that you have to be calm. He drank a few bowls of wine, felt very strong, and coughed heavily.

At this time, three strong men suddenly walked in outside the door, they were holding long wooden sticks in their hands, looking at their faces, they were fierce and cruel people.

The merchants immediately avoided it. The three of them directly gathered around the wooden table and smashed the wooden table with a heavy punch.

"You dog, you dare to steal the uncle's silver, and you are still chic here." They couldn't help but say, raised their heavy sticks, and hit Hou Qu.

Hou Qu felt that something was wrong, it seemed that they wanted to be ruthless behind their backs, so they secretly used this way. Throw your body and knock one down with one punch.

"With things like you, you are still worthy of being a thug, and you dare to slander your uncle!" With a stick in his hand, he struck at the other strong man.

At this time, the whole restaurant was noisy. Suddenly, there was a banging on the door, and many elite soldiers in full armor ran inside.

The one at the forefront is none other than Ren Wang. "You kid, I knew you were going to have an accident, so I deliberately let them follow you."

Looking at Ren Wang's appearance, Hou Qu grinned and said with his fists clenched. "Thank you for your care." They began to search the restaurant.

Hou Qu walked to the back of the kitchen, and indeed found that Hu Liuzhi, his face was blue, lying on the ground, a trace of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was out of breath.

"Who would do it?" He muttered in his heart, if this clue was broken, in that case, it would be too difficult to go on.

At this time, he found that Hu Liuzhi's fingers were holding a yellowed piece of paper, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a pawn ticket with a line of words written on it.

"The pawnshop of the Hong family in the west of the city, as a golden Buddha, forty taels of silver, is hereby informed." He looked at the piece of paper and felt that there was something hidden in it.

"Gotta go to the pawnshop." He just put away the note and put it in his arms. "Anyway, get my brother out as soon as possible."

So saying, he walked straight out. "General, the little one wants to go out and relieve himself, but it's really troublesome to the general, I'm really sorry."

His eyes were full of uncomfortable smiles. At this moment, the soldiers, from the cellar below, turned out a large pile of old yellow books.

On the other hand, Ren Wang looked at him and said helplessly. "You kid, for the sake of the emperor's brother, I just let you go, it's really going to cause trouble."

Hou Qu didn't think about it anymore and walked outside. Once again, I returned to the city, and seemed to feel that someone was watching me from behind.

"Who?" He turned his head away and shouted fiercely. The people over there were so frightened that they went in all directions, hurriedly hiding.

A face flashed over there, and it turned out to be the little second who led Hu Liuzhi in, and disappeared quickly from the corner of the pavilion on the side.

Hou Qu's eyes widened as he looked at a string of footprints. "It's this kid, I have to hold my breath, and when it's time to start, I'll do it naturally."

As he spoke, he waved his hand in a daze. "Ladies and gentlemen, the villain was naughty just now, which shocked everyone, please forgive me, hehe."

The people, looking at him like that, felt as if he was a fool. "Where can there be such a person, it's really unlucky."

The man who was following behind looked at him and smiled. "It's such a stupid thing, it's funny, and it's easy to deal with this thing."

Hou Qu staggered, looking lazy and comfortable, and walked around the city for a long time. From time to time, I bought a few pieces of bread and stuffed them into my mouth.

A cold wind blew, and shivers shivered through him. The light of the setting sun shone on him, casting a long shadow.

The man took out a short dart in his hand, soft and delicate, coated with purple venom on it, and grinned. "It's time."

However, all of his things are also seen at a glance by Hou Qu, and he is looking at the bottom of his eyes. "Whoosh!" The dart shot at Hou Qu's back at a rapid pace.

Hou Qu's figure turned suddenly, and a gust of wind stirred up in his hand. "Where are you kid going?" With a strong hand, a slender tree was easily uprooted.

The man was so frightened that he stayed there. Hou Qu waved the trunk of the tree and knocked him down in one fell swoop. Grabbing the man by the collar, he laughed.

"You kid, I really thought that grandpa didn't see you, so I recruited you from the truth!" As he spoke, he waved his fist, and after several blows, the man who hit him had a blue nose and swollen face.

The man struggled and begged for mercy. "Brother, let me go!" The corners of his mouth were out, spitting blood, like a lost dog.

After a while, the soldiers from behind came and escorted the man away. Hou Qu took out the pawn ticket, blew the dust on it with his mouth, and smiled.

"No matter what, Uncle Ben will come to meet you for a while." As he spoke, he went to the pawnshop on the other side, and the pawnshop was very dilapidated, and the stone lions on both sides were weathered and decayed.

He strode in, looking at the people inside, and his face didn't look like a businessman. "I'll take it and redeem the golden Buddha for me."

Behind the counter, a few people bent over, as if holding something. He leaned over and saw several long crossbows tied to them.

Hou Qu looked up to the sky and smiled and said rudely. "You are also in business in a place like this? actually held an arrow to someone, I'm afraid it's not a black store. ”
