Xiao Xinyi lowered his head and replied softly: "Yes, uncle."

Zhuge Haochu saw his son's expression change from gloomy to sunny because of Xiao Xinyi's words, not only was he overjoyed, but he turned back to the desk and sat down and said to the two: "I remember that there are still a few secret properties in Surabaya City in the villa, right, it has always been taken care of by Yin'er."

"Back to my father, there are a total of seven secret births in Surabaya, all of which are taken care of by the child himself, and four of them have been placed in the past two years." Zhuge Qinghong's voice returned to its usual warmth like pearl and jade.

"Okay, it's up to you to help Xin'er investigate the clue of tracking Surabaya City, don't hesitate to use all the strength of your subordinates, but also investigate the bottom of this gang of thieves in detail, and use the power of the Zhuge family when necessary." Zhuge Haochu said to Zhuge Qinghong.

Zhuge Qinghong and Zhuge Haochu glanced at each other and saluted and said, "The child obeys his father's orders."

Xiao Xinyi looked at his father and son, and always felt that there seemed to be something hidden from her between them, but the Zhuge family had done enough for the Xiao family, how could she dare to expect them to have no reservations about her.

Zhuge Haochu stopped talking when he saw the catkins coming from a distance, and said to the two: "You two go down first, and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Zhuge Qinghong and Xiao Xinyi walked out of the room together after saluting Zhuge Haochu, and bowed again when they passed by Liu Wu, Zhuge Haochu looked at the back of the two walking together, and finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

The Qingxiao Courtyard where Zhuge Qinghong lived was built next to the Mulan Courtyard where Xiao Xinyi lived, and the specifications and layouts were similar. It's just that the decoration in the magnolia courtyard is mainly elegant and graceful, the courtyard is full of exotic flowers, the trees are mainly magnolia, orchids, peonies, lily of the valley, plum blossoms, begonias, all kinds of seasonal flowers are dotted among them, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are trimmed neatly, and there is a special person responsible for taking care of them at a glance.

Qingxiao Courtyard is mainly exquisite atmosphere, the courtyard is clear spring Bitan small bridge flowing water, a few bamboo cultivation and a magnolia will set off the courtyard Qingyuan profound artistic conception.

The two walked on the winding corridor, speechless for a while, and finally Zhuge Qinghong spoke first: "I was offended last night." It's that I'm talking too much, and I don't understand your good intentions, and I hope you don't have to go to your heart. ”

Xiao Xinyi didn't expect him to say this, and said after a long silence: "Last night's incident was indeed my inconsiderate thought before I would say such a thing, you should be angry, but I don't want you to do so much for Cang'an Villa."

"Yes, we've done so much, and now you don't want to be too late." Zhuge Qinghong looked at Xiao Xinyi with a smile, and jokingly said the gap between the two.

"Zhu... Ah Yin, although you won't let me say thank you to you, I still have to say thank you today. Xiao Xinyi said seriously.

"Then I'll allow you to thank me once today, but not again." Zhuge Qinghong was in a good mood and said generously.

"Okay." Xiao Xinyi looked at Zhuge Qinghong's gentle eyes and replied gently.

The first time since the reunion between the two had such a relaxed conversation, it was as clear and bright as the frost in the cold winter of Sanjiu turned into clear water in the spring breeze.

At lunchtime, Xiao Xinyi took Leng Moyan, Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou to eat with Zhuge Haochu. The chef of Zhuge Villa is really good, a table of thirty-six dishes, eighteen meat dishes and eighteen vegetarian dishes, each of which has a unique method, it is said that the chef is Zhuge Haochu from his hometown Gusu to bring, you can't eat these dishes outside.

Eating a meal was enjoyable, Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou were both seeing Zhuge Haochu for the first time, originally thought that the leader of the martial arts alliance must be high, and he didn't want to be so approachable, more amiable than his own master and father, and the two of them were also let go after eating, especially Qin Youyou, who liked food the most, and was very happy to eat.

At dinner, Hu Guyue stuffed a white silk cloth bag into Qin Youyou's hand, and Qin Youyou asked curiously, "What is this?"

"I saw that you liked to eat this snack at noon, so I brought some back." Hu Guyue said with some twist.

Qin Youyou opened it and saw that it was a golden silk cake, and looked at him with a touched face: "Hu Hu, you are really a good person."

......

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Xinyi carried a lantern along the winding bamboo path to the empty courtyard, placed the lantern on one side, and gently hugged the tombstone engraved with the names of her parents.

"Father, mother, daughter is going to investigate the murderer who killed you back then, please bless me to find my brother as soon as possible, and bless my daughter to find out the truth as soon as possible to clear up the grievances of Cang'an Villa."

A line of clear tears fell on the tombstone and quickly seeped in, Xiao Xinyi took a few steps back and knelt in front of her parents' grave and kowtowed three times, and when she fell down, she found that someone beside her was lying down with her, and her light blue clothes added a little depth under the dim candlelight. Zhuge Qinghong and Xiao Xinyi kowtowed three heads to the tombstone side by side, and then took out an object from his arms and handed it to Xiao Xinyi.

The silver whip handle covered with dark patterns of floating clouds is engraved with two big characters of Fuyun, and on the opposite side is engraved with eight small characters of "Death and Life Qikuo and Zicheng Said", which was engraved by Xiao Chonglou himself.

Xiao Xinyi stretched out his hand to take the whip handle in his hand, carefully rubbing the small words on it, after a long time, Xiao Xinyi got up and gently pressed the word, the silver whip body popped out from the whip handle, the whip body of two zhang long from thick to thin, the edge is a delicate cloud shape, Xiao Xinyi lightly pressed the cloud word, the silver whip body quickly rolled back to the whip handle like a spirit snake rolling, this whip whip is Jiang Wanyun's grandfather spent a lot of money to ask Lu Jian, who is known as the "Xuanqiao Heavenly Master", to design, the whip body can be adjusted with the strength of the hand, The whip handle is made of the hardest chrome iron in the world, and the whip body is made of the softest leather in the world, Lu Jian used two of the world's most rigid and soft treasures, and it took five years to design the whip, and even the mysterious master himself said that the whip was the most perfect work in his lifetime.

Xiao Xinyi put the whip on his chest, looked at Zhuge Qinghong, speechless, choking.

"This is what my father asked me to pass on to you, and my father said that we would leave as soon as it was dawn, and there was no need to say goodbye to him." Zhuge Qinghong resisted the urge to reach out and wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiao Xinyi's eyes and said.

Xiao Xinyi made a big salute in the direction of Zhuge Haochu's bedroom, and then danced a complete set of cloud whipping in front of the tombstone, the silver whip body danced like a spirit snake under her dance, and like silver lightning in the air, her slender figure swayed in the dense whip shadow like a flat boat in the stormy waves, as if she was going to go away from the wind at any time.

After a set of whipping methods, Xiao Xinyi was already soaked, panting slightly and muttering to the tombstone: "Mother, look, I can finally dance your whisk whip, do you see it?"

Xiao Xinyi was forced to practice this whip method by Jiang Wanyun when she was very young, Xiao Xinyi couldn't hold this beautiful whip at that time, she could only practice with a small whip, and now she can finally hold the whip, but Jiang Wanyun is no longer there.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Zhuge Qinghong and Xiao Xinyi went all the way towards Surabaya City. Zhuge Qinghong rode his ink crow to lead the way, and Xiao Xinyi and the four followed closely behind. Shuangshengmen did not raise horses, and the horses prepared by the four of her people down the mountain were bought casually at the bottom of the mountain, not only the foot strength was slow, but the physical strength was even worse, but fortunately, Zhuge Villa had its own horse farm at the foot of the mountain. Zhuge Qinghong selected four good horses for the four of her in the horse farm, and only then could she barely keep up with his mount.

Mo Crow in front of other horses are arrogant and look like the boss of the horse, only in front of Xiao Xinyi's white horse, docile as a little sheep, Xiao Xinyi's horse is called "White Phoenix", the horse is as its name, snow-white without a trace of variegation, is the most vigorous and beautiful horse in Zhuge Horse Farm, and Zhuge Qinghong's horse on the rivers and lakes and becomes "Mo Chen Feng Fei".

A ride is far away, and the white phoenix flies thousands of miles a day.

The five of them hurried all the way, and arrived at Surabaya City at night, but two tightly closed gates separated the group from the outside of the city walls.

Qin Youyou was optimistic by nature, looked at the tall city wall and measured it with his hand and said: "It's so high, people can't go up to the horse, let's sleep outside the city today, anyway, it's almost dawn."

Hu Guyue looked at her serious appearance and said: "Okay, I see that the open space under the city gate is good, you go and squat there, maybe there will be a kind person to give you some silver when the city gate opens tomorrow."

......

Zhuge Qinghong got down from his horse and said to the four people: "Wait a while, I'll call the door."

Qin Youyouqi said: "This door can also be opened?"

Zhuge Qinghong walked to the city gate, knocked a few times in front of the city gate unhurriedly, bang, bang, bang, bang, the regular knocking sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night. When Zhuge Qinghong stopped, the city gate really opened a gap that only allowed one person and one horse to walk. Zhuge Qinghong beckoned, and Mo Crow followed him into the city gate, and after all five people entered, the two city guards behind the city gate closed the city gate again.

Zhuge Qinghong took out a heavy bag of silver from his sleeve pocket, handed it to one of them, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, two officials."

Qin Youyou sighed when she saw this, it's good to be rich, when she used to follow the dart, if she couldn't get into the city before the city gate was closed, she could only stay outside the city for a night and wait until the city gate opened the next day.

The man took the silver into his arms and said to Zhuge Qinghong: "Zhuge Gongzi hasn't been here for some days, and the night is heavy, please hurry up."

Zhuge Qinghong turned over and said to the two, "Farewell."

The city was pitch black, with the occasional lantern hanging in front of a few shops that emitted a faint light, and the horses trained by Zhuge Racecourse were really extraordinary, and the sound of horses' hooves stepped on in such a quiet night was almost inaudible.

Zhuge Qinghong led the four of them through the streets of the city, stopped in front of a manor outside the city and said, "This is the manor of my old friend, we can settle here."

Xiao Xinyi knew that this should be one of the dark assets of the Zhuge family.

From the outside, I saw that the manor was brightly lit, and there were two small servants standing at the gate of the manor, and when I saw Zhuge Qinghong and his party, they hurriedly greeted them, and said while saluting: "Zhuge Gongzi, my master has been waiting for a long time."

Zhuge Qinghong turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the little servant, and said, "I'm tired." Then wait for the four of them to dismount and enter the manor together.

Just a few steps away, a man in his forties approached: "Brother Zhuge , I received your flying pigeon biography yesterday and knew that you were coming, and I was happy that my brother didn't sleep all night, I didn't want you to come so quickly."

Zhuge Qinghong said with a smile: "Coming to disturb Brother Li late at night, the foolish brother is very uneasy in his heart."

The person known as Brother Li laughed: "What are you talking about, for my brother, I wish you would come and disturb me every day."

Zhuge Qinghong arched his hand and said: "Then these friends of mine and I can borrow Brother Li's mansion to stay in Surabaya for a few days."

Among the four, except for Qin Youyou, who is dressed in red, who is slightly immature, Xiao Xinyi, Leng Moyan, and Hu Guyue live on the mountain all the year round, and they have a cold temperament that is out of the world. Master Li was already amazed by the temperament of several people, and he didn't dare to slack off at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Naturally, I can't ask for it."

Zhuge Qinghong turned to the four of them and said, "This is my old friend Li Licheng and Master Li."

Xiao Xinyi and the four of them saluted Li Licheng at the same time and said, "I've seen Master Li."

Li Licheng bowed his hand and replied: "You young heroes are polite." But when he saw Xiao Xinyi's appearance, he was stunned, Zhuge Qinghong took a step to his side, blocking his sight, and then came back to his senses, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly turned around and led the way in front: "A few of you are coming to the hall to rest, I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare something to eat."

Zhuge Qinghong replied: "Brother Li doesn't have to be so troublesome, we have already eaten on the way."

Li Licheng heard this: In this case, I have prepared the guest room, and I will rest early tonight, and I will wash the dust for you tomorrow. ”

Zhuge Qinghong replied: "That's very good."

Li Licheng called the maid to lead the way, and after Xiao Xinyi and the three of them saluted, they followed to the backyard. After the figures of several people disappeared, Li Licheng took Zhuge Qinghong and Hu Guyue to the backyard.

There are three courtyards in the backyard, and Li Licheng wanted to arrange one for Zhuge Qinghong and Hu Guyue, but Zhuge Qinghong stopped him: "There are four rooms in this courtyard, and Hu Shaoxia and I can live in one."

Li Licheng naturally followed his words and settled the two before returning to the front yard.

Hu Guyue waited for Li Licheng to leave and said to Zhuge Qinghong: "This time I went down the mountain, thanks to the help of Zhuge Gongzi."

Zhuge Qinghong replied: "Hu Shaoxia doesn't have to be so polite, this is what my Zhuge Villa should do."

Hu Guyue thought to herself, I'm afraid you did this for my senior sister, as far as a fool can see it in your eyes. But they didn't dare to show it, and the two said some polite words and went back to their rooms.

Hu Guyue, who was galloping all the way, was a little unbearable, and quickly fell asleep while lying on the bed. The next morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door, and asked in a daze, "Who?"

A maid outside the door replied: "Hu Shaoxia, my master has prepared a meal in the front hall, and asked Shaoxia to take a bath and change clothes."

Hu Guyue opened the door to let the maid in, and the two little maids behind him carried a bucket of hot water and poured it into the bath bucket behind the screen and withdrew, and the maid put a set of clothes in her hand on the table and looked at Hu Guyue.

"Girl, you can go, I'm going to bathe." Hu Guyue was looked at by a little maid who was about the same age as Qin Youyou.

"The slave maid stayed to serve the young man to bathe." The little maid said calmly.

"No, no, no need to bother this girl, I can do it myself." Hu Guyue waved her hand again and again, and when the little maid retreated, Hu Guyue took a long breath and patted her chest, wondering if Zhuge Qinghong would have a little maid waiting to take a bath.
