That night, when he returned to the Xu Mansion with his legs that were like lead, before Xu Houcong, who had a gloomy face, could speak, several confidant disciples who stayed behind surrounded him. As Zhao Qing hurriedly closed the door, one of them whispered, "Master, someone came in with an arrow in the evening, and it was Qing Fengnian's own handwriting. He said that he would definitely find the little junior brother back and give the master an explanation. ”

"Are you sure it's him?"

"It is a commonly used arrow in Qingfeng Nian, and the technique is also unique to our Divine Bow Gate."

Hearing this, Xu Houcong suddenly lowered his eyelids, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.

If Qing Fengnian kidnapped his son, that kid with a square personality would definitely not hurt an innocent child, as long as he worked hard in Yue Qianqiu or other places, then his son was likely to be sent back safely. But now it seems that the situation is not done by Qingfengnian, and that kid is working hard to investigate, maybe it will touch the sensitive nerves of some people, and if he kills people at that time......

He took a light breath, then made a gesture and ordered everyone to follow him back to the main hall. He sat down on the main seat in the center, and looked around at the dozen or so people standing in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

There are more than 100 people who followed him to Shangjing, but what he trusted the most was the elite of these dozen elites, the henchmen of his henchmen! Everyone respects him, loves him like a father, and is his most reliable team!

He first looked at the few disciples on the left who had been transferred to the Autumn Hunting Division by Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan because of their meritorious service to the enemy in Jingling that night, and said with a slight bow: "The King of Lanling County, who temporarily acted as the Commander of the Autumn Hunting Division, has retransferred you to me, so that I can use the name of the Autumn Hunting Division to investigate the whereabouts of your junior brother, as well as the assassination of King Jin." Although you have not been in the Akikami Division for a short time, if you want to find out the ugly man as soon as possible this time, you will have to carry the heavy burden. ”

"Yes, Master!"

"As for the ...... of you," Xu Houcong looked at the few disciples who had stayed in the Xu Mansion on the right, "You can recall the situation of the abduction before, discuss it with everyone, and ponder who might do it." ”

Just when he assigned the left and right sides, and his eyes fell on Zhao Qing in the middle, the young man who was the only one who followed his master into the forbidden army as a personal guard stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Master, I just heard a news that Wang Jingnan's son, Wang Feng, the right general of the forbidden army, has changed the habit of guarding Wang Jingnan at home a few days ago without leaving the house, and has been in and out of several imperial relatives mansions in a row. ”

Seeing Xu Houcong's eyebrows tied a knot, he suddenly said softly: "Master, we are Lou Yingchang, the deputy envoy of the Autumn Hunting Division, who lobbied to the north, but now we are incompatible with Wang Jingnan, who is making Wang Jingnan, and those dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital are not kind to us. You said before that Gonggong He acquiesced in your transfer of the good hands in the forbidden army to investigate this private matter, coupled with the attitude of the King of Lanling County of the Autumn Hunt Division......"

Before Zhao Qing finished speaking, Xu Houcong realized that according to this apprentice, he, who had no background, may have been thrown out as a knife by the most hardcore imperial party He Jintong and Kang Le, as well as Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County.

At this moment, he couldn't even help but think that Zhao Qing's guess might be right, but is there another possibility, his son was not taken away by the Southern Dynasty mission or those who were dissatisfied with him at all, but was held in the hands of these imperial parties, forcing him to make a sharp knife to cleanse those who were dissatisfied with the emperor in the capital, just like Xiao Jingxian did in the past?

"Master, Master?"

Woken up by this continuous call, Xu Houcong thought that Xiao Changheng had said to him in the past that the emperor was eclectic in employing people, and if he had merit in the future, he would not only be able to be a princess, but also maybe one day he would be crowned king, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, he had always been decisive in killing, and he was completely ruthless.

It's a big deal that he gets out, this son will be considered dead, and first catch the tails of the foxes who are trying to make waves in the capital! He is not yet fifty, and if he is prosperous and rich in the future, with three wives and four concubines, it is impossible not to give birth to a son!

"Doesn't seem to have time for us to waste our time discussing. You guys will split up for me, staring at the Three Princesses' Mansion, Xianning County Palace, and Anwang's Mansion......"

Just when Xu Houcong was teaching these henchmen face-to-face, there was a sudden shouting outside, and he asked Zhao Qing to go out to have a look, but as soon as he opened the door, he slammed the door shut, and then turned around and said to Xu Houcong in a panic...... She brought in a few elders! ”

This senior sister who has mediocre martial arts but is older than most of them, and has been taking care of them since she was a child, is the person they are most afraid of besides their master!

And standing among these disciples, Ji Yunjia, who is both Xu Houcong's personal disciple and Xu Houcong's son-in-law, is even more at a loss. The wife is gentle and capable on weekdays, but she is very stubborn at the critical moment, and now the younger brother has been taken away, and he is in a hurry, even if he goes out, I am afraid he will not be able to suppress it!

Xu Houcong's wife died early, and he had a huge sect to take care of, and he used to rack his brains to deal with the military envoys sent by the imperial court again and again, so for his son who was not outstanding, he naturally spent a limited amount of time. Most of the time, the eldest sister is like a mother, and it is his eldest daughter who takes care of the younger brother single-handedly. Compared to him, several elders were very kind to his sweet-mouthed son.

Therefore, seeing Zhao Qing's panicked appearance, he also realized that his daughter had invited his peers to put pressure on him, and he was suddenly even more upset. He stood up and strode to the door, opened the door as soon as he pushed Zhao Qing away, and heard his daughter crying and calling her father, he shouted angrily: "Xiaoguang is not dead, why do you need to be so depressed?" Am I not talking to someone? ”

If Xu Wen was usually killed, she wouldn't dare to fight with her father, but now that the younger brother is alive or dead, she let it go, knelt on the ground and said: "The younger brother is only twelve years old, he was abducted for a whole day, and he has no whereabouts, and even others don't even bother to mention the conditions, which is already a clear intention to harm him!" Dad said that he was discussing with his senior brothers and younger brothers to find him, how to find him when the capital is so big? ”

was questioned by his daughter and couldn't get off the stage, Xu Houcong couldn't help but blushing and having a thick neck, and slammed his fist on the door frame for a while: "Okay, then you say, how to find it?" You have an idea? ”

"If you want me to make an idea,......" Xu Wen took a deep breath, stared at her eyes and said word by word, "Today, Qingfengnian has already shot an arrow and sent a letter, saying that he will definitely be investigated to the end, I know his character, as long as he says it, he will definitely do it, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will bring his younger brother back!" Dad, have you ever thought about it, if you weren't so conspicuous in Shangjing, how could someone kidnap your younger brother? You shouldn't have been bothered to wade into these troubled waters, we were wrong to leave our homeland and go north......"

As soon as these two wrong words came out, she only felt a strong wind flashing in front of her, followed by a heavy slap in the face. She couldn't control her body all of a sudden, and her whole body fell to the ground with that force, but when she covered her face and struggled and turned her head to look at Xu Houcong, who was pale, she still shouted with a crying voice.

"Dad, even if you kill me, I have to say that at this time, others will only use you as a knife, only a gentleman like Senior Brother Qing will take his brother's affairs to heart!"

"Enough!" Xu Houcong shouted angrily again, and then looked at the few elders brought by his daughter with cold eyes, and said undoubtedly, "You take Wen'er down and teach her well!" We lived a precarious life in the Southern Dynasty, but now we are sitting in a mansion, and our disciples have a bright future. If just because Xiaoguang was taken away by someone and choked on food, my Divine Bow Gate will only decay and die, how can it be worthy of the ancestors who created the foundation? ”

With that, he turned and entered the main hall without looking back, slamming the door shut.

Xu Wen only felt as if the two doors had fallen heavily on her face, thinking that her husband was also in this hall, but she didn't dare to help her say a word just now, she couldn't help but cry bitterly. It wasn't until a hand was pressed on her shoulder that she heard Uncle Shi's low persuasion in her ears, and someone helped her up, that she got up in a daze and staggered back.

When she left the hall, she whispered: "Uncles and uncles, my father seems to be beautiful at the moment, but his real team is only our Shengongmen. Today it is the younger brother, and in the future, it may be other senior brothers and younger brothers, maybe it's you, maybe it's himself! How many people in Beiyan will really treat us as their own, although there are more than 100 people in the Shengong Gate, is it really enough to fill in that bottomless pit? Where is my father looking for his younger brother now, he is dedicated to being a knife for others, fighting for glory and wealth! ”

Several brothers of the same generation as Xu Houcong glanced at each other and sighed deeply at the same time.

Because the Southern Wu court had too much restraint on martial arts in the past, Xu Houcong advocated and even arranged everything early, and they had to agree to go north. But now Xu Houcong is certainly soaring, and the disciples seem to have a bright future, but it is Xu Houcong and his own apprentices, and they and their apprentices are not yet in turn.

What's more, the treacherous and changeable situation of Beiyan and the tragic situation of destroying the door at every turn made them all palpitate.

"Wen'er, I want to open some."

In the face of such pale and powerless comfort, Xu Wen's heart was like a knife, and after shaking her head, she shook off everyone and staggered back to the room alone.

After a night of tossing and turning, she didn't wait for her husband's return, and after getting up early in the morning and hurriedly freshening up, she didn't care about the bright red slap marks on her face that had not faded at all, and went directly to the main hall where Xu Houcong saw people last night, but she got a piece of news that made her heart sink.

"Lord Zuo Xiang was assassinated when he went out early in the morning, and my father has already brought someone over?"

Xu Wen didn't dare to look up at her when she saw that the junior brother who was speaking, and she couldn't help but say in a voice that was worse than crying: "The little brother hasn't been found yet, and Dad still has the heart to take care of others?" ”

"Senior sister, don't worry......

Ignoring these comforting words, Xu Wen turned around and left. Ignoring the obstruction of several disciples, she insisted on walking out of the gate, with a trace of extravagant hope in her heart, hoping that the people watching the Xu Mansion would also take her away. However, after standing outside the gate for a long time, she did not wait for half a suspicious person, and finally had to let go of this only extravagant hope, and walked towards the street with one foot high and one foot low.

The two young disciples were not at ease and wanted to chase her back, but they couldn't help that Xu Wen was also a martial arts student, and after walking out of the street, it was as if she had returned to her soul, and she blended into the crowd in three or two strokes, throwing them off completely. After searching the neighborhood to no avail, the two could only go back to their homes, but they didn't know whether they should find someone to report the matter to Xu Houcong.

And Xu Wen, who threw off all her tails, finally appeared in front of the Jin Palace's mansion after crossing most of the capital.

Looking at the two closed doors, she took a deep breath and finally stepped forward and knocked on the knocker vigorously.
