(Big brothers and sisters, I have a headache that is about to explode now, and I really can't write about this state today...... And there must be a lot of faults in writing.,I'll fix the problems in this chapter tomorrow and make up for what I owe today.,Sorry qwq)

"What a coincidence, I met you here."

The crooked figure spoke to the three of them.

Duan Li was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted that the person in front of her should be an acquaintance of the Begonia brothers and sisters.

"Brother Yao, why did you come here?" Begonia asked.

Yao Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention it, I heard from Xiaocheng about you, I started to hurry from that night, I was going to Panyu to see if I could help you, but I was ambushed by the nearby bandits today, and I finally got out," Yao Bai sighed, "Originally, there were about twenty people, but the bandit leader behind me seemed to be angry, and I was chased and killed by a large group of people for a whole day." ”

Xiao Yue sneered when she heard this: "I thought that Brother Yaobai could pass through the army of ten thousand people, and then take the head of the person and return triumphantly, but I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed." ”

Although Xiao Yue reacted like this, Duan Li on the side was already stunned - she had never heard of anyone who could successfully escape in an ambush by bandits alone.

However, Yao Bai was really tired at the moment, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Yue's ridicule, and he didn't notice Duan Li who was sluggish on the side, only to see him walk to the campfire and sit down, take out the water bottle in his bag and drink the water violently.

Haitang clapped his hands and said, "By the way, let me introduce," he said to Duan Li, "This is my friend, called Yao Bai, strong in martial arts, and a swordsman," and then he turned to Yao Bai and said, "This is our current guest, the name is Duan Li, and we are on our way back to Hangzhou at the moment." ”

"Why do you want to go back to Hangzhou, the matter is settled?" Yao Bai was a little puzzled, "And I heard Xiaocheng say that your guest should be a middle-aged man named Duan Qi, how did you become this girl?" ”

"It's a long story," Haitang took a deep breath, "To put it simply, we have already helped Duan Qi find what he stole from, but Duan Qi is hiding some shady secrets, and these secrets involve his eldest brother Duan De, this Duan Li girl is Duan De's daughter, and we are now going to help her figure it all out." ”

"Oh?" Yao Bai became interested, "According to Xiaocheng, what kind of Qiankun Ding was stolen from that Duan Qi, right, or is it an artifact handed down from the ancestors of their Duan family, which can turn stones into gold, this thing is really so magical?" ”

"Qiankun Ding, an ancestral artifact?" Duan Li spoke before Begonia, "The second uncle only said that his treasure was stolen, and we don't know what this treasure is, Qiankun Ding...... Is this what the second uncle was stolen, how come I have never heard of such a thing from our family's ancestors? ”

"According to Duan Qi, only the head of the family can know about this news." Xiao Yue replied.

"We did help Duan Qi find his tripod, but the effect of turning stone into gold varies from person to person," Haitang also said on the side, "By the way, Brother Yao, let's rest here for one night, and continue to rush back to Hangzhou tomorrow morning, maybe we really need your help for the next thing." ”

"Okay," Yao Bai said, "besides, there are clues to the things I checked. ”

Haitang stared at Yao's white eyes: "Let's talk about it after Duan Li's matter is over." ”

After a long time, the four Haitang people, who had marched all the way, finally returned to Hangzhou.

Seeing the long-lost Hangzhou City, Xiao Yue sighed a little, the gap between Hangzhou and Panyu is really obvious, whether it is the degree of bustle or the way the government governs, Hangzhou is much better than Panyu - more importantly, it has been exposed to the sun for so long, and the temperature in Hangzhou finally made Xiao Yue breathe a sigh of relief.

Duan Li was a little surprised, although she was the daughter of the city lord, she had never been far from Panyu, and the lively scene of Hangzhou City shocked her a little.

"Brother, why don't you just go back?" Xiao Yue was a little puzzled.

Haitang smiled and looked at Duan Li, who was still in shock: "It's not too late to accompany Duan Li to go around Hangzhou before going back." ”

So a few people took Duan Li around Hangzhou City for a long time, and when the sun was about to set, they went to the restaurant and called the old city, and then returned to the pen painting together.

Seeing this courtyard standing in the clearing in the forest, Duan Li was stunned again: "This is where you live?" ”

"That's right," Haitang chuckled, "this is where we live, and it's also my shop, and we pick up customers here on weekdays." Haitang pointed to Duan Li to the plaque on the gate of the courtyard that read "Hold a pen and draw Tang".

Back in the courtyard, the old city skillfully went to the back kitchen of the wine shop to cook, and the remaining few people sat at the stone table by the lotus pond in the courtyard and drank tea.

"Let's sort out the current situation," Haitang took the lead in speaking, "First of all, about Duan Qi's Qiankun Ding, we have helped him find the real Ding, but in fact, the fake Ding does not actually exist, the reason for this problem I will sell it for the time being, in short--Judging from the situation we learned during the time we went to Panyu, Panyu is actually a form similar to a triangle, the Duan family is at the top, and the bottom is the other families who are friendly with the Duan family, as well as the people. Duan Qi and Duan De's two brothers, one is the head of the family and the other is the city lord, but Duan De is an upright person and has always been disgusted with Duan Qi's approach, so the relationship between the two brothers is not harmonious - until one day about five months ago, Duan De said that he was going to move to the City Lord's Mansion to live, and since then, Duan Qi has often been in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, but Duan De has never left the City Lord's Mansion, and the relationship between the two has also become close in the past few months.

"According to our understanding of Duan Qi, this person is a greedy and shrewd person, he can wantonly burn and loot for his own selfish desires, and he can also be humble and conscious of others for his own treasures, and the most terrifying thing is that he must hold most of the rights of the Duan family in his hands - maybe there are many people who are dissatisfied with him, but the few people who are bewitched by his rhetoric and have a certain amount of power are what he cares.

"That's probably all we can get now."

After listening to this, Yao Bai on the side pondered for a moment and said, "Then how does Brother Tang plan to find out about this matter?" ”

Haitang smiled slightly: "Since the city lord has been staying in the city lord's mansion and will not go out, then we will go to the city lord's mansion to have a look, but it is not easy to enter the city lord's mansion, I want to let people go to the city lord's mansion to inquire about the situation first." ”
