After returning to the inn, Lu Xiao told Yongzhen about his discovery.

"Vixen......"

Yongzhen tried to speculate: "If Yu Chi Yanhong is really a fox spirit, what about Shan Xiaoxiao, who is similar to her?" ”

Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Although I don't know what race it is, eighty percent is also formed by some kind of spirit, and Dugu Ningke really knows how to choose maids." ”

Yongzhen nodded thoughtfully: "Now that I think about it, Shan Xiaoxiao's abnormal social skills are problematic in itself, and there may be some kind of unnatural power in her language." ”

After half a month of observation, both Lu Xiao and Yongzhen found some abnormalities.

The official maid who has talked to Shan Xiaoxiao will always get along with her quickly, and unconsciously shake out the secret that her master said she leaked.

One or two can be said to be a more compatible, but ten or eight is absolutely abnormal.

Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, half a month's observation has given Lu Xiao and Yongzhen a deeper understanding of the forces that Dugu Ningke secretly controls, and it is indeed the right decision not to act rashly.

While the two maids were busy broadening their networks, Dugu Ningke would go to Yuwen Taishi's Mansion in Dongcheng District almost every day, squatting in Yuwen Tuo's study in the name of surveillance.

Yuwen Tuo was temporarily grounded by Yang Guang, and could only sit in the Taishi Mansion to handle official business, and hand over all the affairs of the outgoing to the four ministries to solve in the future.

Yang Shuo and Han Teng returned from completing their missions one after another, Shangguan Zhenyuan was sent by Yuwen Tuo to the Dunhuang Grottoes to check on the situation of the rebel soldiers, and Hu Lu'an went south to the Bashu region to find the Nuwa Stone.

In the process of monitoring Dugu Ningke's actions, Lu Xiao discovered a strange thing.

The ruthless Dugu County Lord occasionally showed a performance that did not match the personality of his performance in front of Yuwen Tuo.

Her eyes looking at Yuwentuo are very complicated, sometimes showing a gentle affection, and sometimes showing a ruthless meaning.

After a long period of observation, Lu Xiao summed up a pattern.

When alone with Yuwen Tuo, Dugu Ningke's performance will be relatively peaceful.

Although he occasionally complains naughtily about the Taishi, most of the time he takes the initiative to guide the topic with a smile.

Yuwen Tuo is the kind of rigid and dull character who can't make a fart in three sentences, and he will only answer one or two when Dugu Ningke takes the initiative to provoke the topic, and the personalities of the two sides complement each other to a certain extent.

And once other women around Yuwen Tuo appeared, whether it was a maid or a noble girl sent by other officials to "greet", Dugu Ningke would show a sinister look.

Some noble ladies who have gone too far will be retaliated against by her afterwards.

'Will it ......'

Lu Xiao's expression was a little weird, and he had an uncertain guess in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt incredible.

As a female demon general sent by the demon king Satan to lurk in the east, Dugu Ningke and Yuwen Tuo, who is determined to protect the land of Shenzhou, are undoubtedly undying enemies.

But Dugu Ningke, who was sensible at the age of one, can be said to be a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Yuwen Tuo, and it seems logical for the two to have feelings for each other.

'It's a bit messy......

Rubbing his eyebrows with a wry smile, Lu Xiao temporarily let go of Dugu Ningke's emotional problems.

No matter what the relationship between the other party and Yuwen Tuo is, she is Huaxia's enemy and this will not change.

If that's really what I think...... Yuwen Tuo, I can only say sorry to you. ’

……

In mid-July, Chen Jingqiu and his entourage took the lead in bringing Chen Fu, who had lost his full strength, to Daxing City to meet Lu Xiao and the others.

After settling the gluttony, Gu Yuesheng and Ran Weng temporarily returned to Tianwai Village.

Before leaving, they left a promise that once the Xuanyuan Realm needed help, they would rush from the Taoyuan Wonderland as soon as they received the call.

Gu Yuesheng used the Pangu Axe to establish a secret temporary teleportation channel between the Taoyuan Immortal Realm and the Xuanyuan Realm, which could bypass the barrier separating the two realms and travel freely, and the entrance to this side of the teleportation channel was in the backyard of the Gongshan Mansion in Daliang City.

Gongshan Tie's physical strength has basically recovered, but according to Jing Qiu, his Gongshan master still needs a little time to regain his state.

As for Fairy Zhong......

Yu'er spread her hands helplessly: "The free and loose fairy left a word and left on her own." ”

"'I have something to go to Huashan, and I will come back to meet you after my personal business is done.'" ”

Chen Jingqiu was a little uncomfortable with Lu Xiao's beard: "Brother Lu, you look like ......"

Lu Xiao: "Yongzhen and I are wanted by the government, so we can only act in disguise for the time being. ”

From the strange position of Chen Jingqiu and the four of them, Lu Xiao saw the clues of disagreement.

Chen Fu, who still had a sickly look on his face, never said a word, and his steps were a little vain when he walked, obviously his physical condition was not optimistic.

Chen Jingqiu and Xiaoxue walked beside him left and right, ready to reach out and support him at any time.

Yu'er, on the other hand, was outside the trio, a little far away from them.

This situation made Lu Xiao and Yongzhen puzzled.

After a period of common adventures, Yu'er has established a good friendship with Jing Qiu and Xiaoxue, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't be so estranged.

Yongzhen, who was as careful as a hair, noticed Yu'er's attitude towards Chen Fu's respectful and distant attitude, and probably guessed that the problem was with these two people.

Pulled Lu Xiao's sleeve, relying on the tacit understanding between the two, Yongzhen made a silent reminder to Lu Xiao with his eyes.

Lu Xiao, who knew it in his heart, put aside the disagreement between the two for the time being, and politely saluted Chen Fu with a fist.

"Mr. Chen Fu, the first time we met, in Xia Lu Xiao, a companion who traveled the world with Jing Qiu, this is the insider Yongzhen."

Chen Fu stroked his beard, and finally showed a slight smile on his serious face: "Lu Shaoxia, I heard a lot of rumors about you from Senior Brother Gongshan. ”

"Thank you for taking care of Jing Qiu during this time, and thank you for curing Senior Brother Gongshan for many years."

As long as he doesn't get involved in topics related to Chen Guo's recovery, Chen Fu is not a difficult person to get along with.

Compared with the Northern Dynasties, where the Hu-Han hybridization was very serious, the countries of the Southern Dynasties were inferior in military strength, but they were much stronger than the Northern Dynasties in terms of cultural development.

Chen Fu used to be the minister of the Chen State of the Southern Dynasty, and when he was young, he was also a man of literary style, and when he was not involved in sensitive topics, Chen Fu would quote classic witty words from time to time.

The obsession of recovering the country forced Chen Fu to become a stern master who did not smile, and always spurred Jing Qiu, who was a little lazy, to learn martial arts and Taoism, and instilled in him the concept of recovering the country.

Chen Fu's physical condition was still very unsatisfactory, and the long time of rushing made his face obviously tired.

Lu Xiao didn't have too many greetings with Chen Fu, and after returning to the top floor of Youfeng Laiyi Inn, Chen Fu, who was not energetic, went back to the room to rest first.

Seeing off the master, Jing Qiu finally let out a long breath.

"Sister Yu'er, I'm sorry."

Chen Jingqiu suddenly bowed his head and apologized to Yu'er, and Xiaoxue's face also showed embarrassment. ”

Yu'er waved her hand magnificently: "Don't say that, I also have something wrong, I shouldn't have an argument with the old gentleman who has just recovered from a serious illness." ”

Yongzhen poured tea for a few people, and the five of them sat around the inn room that temporarily served as a living room to exchange information.

"So?"

Lu Xiao took a sip of warm tea and frowned unconsciously.

The early tea soup inherited from the Western Han Dynasty made modern people like Lu Xiao very unaccustomed.

Ginger, green onion, garlic, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other seasonings are added to the tea that should be light, and the taste is ...... It's hard to describe.

After taking a sip and putting down the tea soup, Lu Xiao set his eyes on Yu'er, who looked a little tired.

"Yu'er, what happened between you and Mr. Chen Fu?"
