"Then according to Mrs. Xie's meaning, Lord Xie can't stay?"

Hearing these three words, Mu Yao was shocked, the Marquis of Guangping was threatening them, if Xie Chongning couldn't stay in Yancheng, then their lives couldn't be saved.

"There is a way to solve everything, and if you make a mistake this time, you will naturally have the opportunity to stay in Yancheng."

Although the epidemic in Yancheng is serious, it seems that there is nothing strange to outsiders, and Xie Chongning's stay in Yancheng is already a big problem in the eyes of those who care.

"It's still Mrs. Xie who is smart!" Guangping Hou laughed a few times, and was about to pat Xie Chongning on the shoulder, but the latter dodged it sideways, Guangping Hou didn't mind, and only continued, "Lord Xie, please be sure to enjoy the dog 100-day banquet." ”

Leaving from the front hall, Mu Yao remembered that it seemed that the 100-day banquet of Guangping Hou was not only to catch turtles in an urn, but also to let the people in Yancheng know that Xie Chongning had been with him.

If it weren't for the different positions, Mu Yao would have applauded him, which was really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

"I don't know if Ah Yuan sent the news out...... Mu Yao muttered in a low voice, although Ah Yuan is just a child, he is already much braver than his peers, and he should not disappoint her.

"Trust him." Xie Chongning saw Mu Yao's concern and spoke.

"Then let's discuss how to proceed in the evening." Mu Yao nodded, instead of thinking about this now, it was better to solve the dilemma at night first.

Unitary moment.

"Lord Xie is so powerful!"

As soon as Xie Chongning and Mu Yao arrived, they heard a burst of cynicism, as if they were waiting for them.

"That's it, Master Hou has already arrived early, for the sake of Lord Xie, he has dragged on for a while, the people from this capital are really different!"

"That is, our Hou Ye is good-tempered!"

"Okay, Lord Xie must have something important to delay," Guangping Hou was satisfied with what he heard, so he stopped him, "Lord Xie, please sit down." ”

Mu Yao looked around, these people's faces were a little raw, and they still had a ruffian aura on their bodies, most of the officials were from liberal arts, even if they were military generals, they were exposed to the court and their temperament would be somewhat different.

These people at the banquet are more like ...... Soldier.

"Master Hou doesn't know, I accidentally scratched my hand a few days ago, and my lord delayed the hour in order to boil medicine for me."

In order to look more genuine, Mu Yao even looked at Xie Chongning with affection.

"Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie are deeply affectionate and envious of others." Marquis Guangping instructed his subordinates to prepare meals and sing and dance, while greeting Xie Chongning.

"Hou Ye has a son, it's a happy event," Mu Yao glanced behind the Marquis of Guangping a few times, and said suspiciously, "Today's protagonist doesn't seem to be there?" ”

Anyway, today is nominally a 100-day banquet, and the Marquis of Guangping only thinks about how to suppress Xie Chongning, but he forgets about it, and his face is a little unbearable.

The sharp-eyed subordinate has already gone to invite the nurse, and Mu Yao just wanted to let Guangping Hou not be too proud, and after finishing speaking, he buried his head in hard work, and he had no appetite for the past few days, but it took a lot of effort today, and he still had to ensure his physical strength.

"Actually, inviting everyone here today is not only for the 100-day banquet of the young son, but also for an important reason," Guangping Hou stood up, holding a wine glass in one hand, and said suddenly.

"That's ......"

Before Guangping Hou's words fell, everyone suddenly heard a shout outside.

"It's out of the water!"

"It's out of the water! Come on! ”

"Master Hou!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran over, looking panicked, and a big drop of sweat fell from his forehead, "Oh no, the warehouse is out of water!" ”

"What did you say?"

Guangping Hou's voice suddenly rose, and his words were mixed with a little trembling, "Then what are you doing in a daze!" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

"You, you, come with me! You, go to the backyard and call someone to help" The butler pointed to a few servants, and then hurriedly led the people out.

"Master Hou, but what is the matter?" Mu Yao raised his head and pretended to be puzzled.

The others were also confused, looking at the appearance of Guangping Hou, they should be very nervous, but they still looked like they were light and light.

"I can still solve a little thing, don't bother everyone." Hearing Mu Yao's words, Guangping Hou lowered his face and obviously didn't want to deal with her, but if something happened at this time, Guangping Hou naturally wouldn't give them a good face.

However, before a moment, Guangping Hou seemed to feel uneasy, with a look of embarrassment on his face, as if he had made an important decision.

It just so happened that the housekeeper came back again, and he didn't know what to say in the ear of Guangping Hou, who suddenly got up and said, "Sorry everyone, at home. Something is wrong, so wait a moment while Fluttershy entertains the guests. ”

"Yes, sir." A maid responded obediently, thinking that she was a handmaid who had a good face on weekdays.

With that, the Marquis of Guangping left in a hurry.

"My lord......" Mu Yao poked Xie Chongning, said in a low voice, glanced at Xie Chongning again, held his head and slowly leaned on Xie Chongning's shoulder, Xie Chongning understood.

"Everyone, Yao'er is unwell, let's leave first." Xie Chongning said that, and then helped Mu Yao to go out.

"Lord Xie, but the slave is not well entertained? Why the rush to leave? "The maidservant who was ordered by the Marquis of Guangping just now stopped at the door.

"Maybe I suffered a little cold last night, and I really had a headache, and I want to go back to the room to rest, and please don't mind." Mu Yao pretended to be very weak and responded weakly.

The maidservant girl did not want to stop them, so she had to let them go.

The servants in the mansion were all hurriedly putting out the fire in the warehouse, and the whole mansion was a mess.

The two hadn't walked a few steps before they saw Master Wuchen and Zhang Wei also come out.

"Let's go through the back door, where the defenses should be weak." Mu Yao analyzed, and several other people nodded in agreement, and the group of four rushed to the backyard.

"I once got lost and walked to the backyard, and I always thought this place was weird."

Zhang Wei looked around timidly, stretched out his hand and wanted to grab Xie Chongning's sleeve, but he dodged it without a trace.

Mu Yao also heard the voice, thinking that it was a cry of pain, "Strange moans? ”

"Yes, you said this place would be haunted, or let's go back."

Mu Yao naturally didn't believe in ghosts, Zhang Wei saw that no one spoke, and it was too late to go back now, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

"Be careful." Xie Chongning suddenly pulled Mu Yao to the wall and hid.

"Something isn't right." It's all in chaos in the house, and there are still people patrolling here, obviously there is something important that needs to be guarded at all times.

Mu Yao looked at it carefully for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Ancestral hall? There seems to be a problem. ”

"I think it's necessary to look it up." Mu Yao thought about it, the Marquis of Guangping covered the sky with one hand in Yancheng, if he could find his handle, things would definitely take a turn for the better.

But there were only four of them, and the number of guards was far higher than theirs, and if they broke in, they were afraid that they would cause unnecessary trouble.

Mu Yao grabbed a handful of soil and wiped it on his face, looking extremely embarrassed, then ran to the other side and shouted, "Go to the water, come to the water." ”

A few people on guard heard the voice and rushed over: "What's the matter, where is the water?" ”

Under the cover of night, I couldn't see clearly, and Mu Yao's face was full of mud, so I couldn't tell who it was for a while.

"The treasury of the house is on fire, the fire is too big, there are not enough people, and the Hou Ye ordered to fight the fire!" Mu Yao said anxiously.

The guards looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or not, after all, this is also extremely important, but usually Guangping Hou looks at the treasury as his life. Roots matter.

If it were because they were ineffective in fighting the fire and suffered heavy losses, they would probably not be able to eat and walk around.

"Big brother, what should I do?"

The leader gritted his teeth and said, "You stay, and the others will fight the fire with me!" Remember, you can't leave this place! ”

Seeing this, Mu Yao didn't say much, there was still an anxious look on her face, and she ran back in the direction she came.

On the other side, the treasury.

The raging fire, which seemed to be about to devour everyone, shone on the face of the Marquis of Guangping, flickering in light and darkness.

"Master Hou, the fire is too big, I'm afraid the treasury can't be saved!"

"Rubbish!" Guangping Hou kicked over, "What do you want!" ”

The housekeeper hid aside tremblingly, closed his eyes, and stepped forward boldly, "Master Hou, although the treasury has not been saved, the important things have been taken out and have not been damaged. ”

Hearing this, Guangping Hou's face softened slightly, but he didn't say anything anymore, just looked at the fire gloomily.

"Butler, what happened, how could there be such a big fire?" When the guards saw the fire, they sighed in their hearts that they were lucky to come.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Why did you come here, didn't you tell you to keep guarding all the time!" ”

was yelled at by the housekeeper, and the caretaker was also a little timid, and said truthfully: "It was a maidservant who came to inform me, saying that the Hou Ye asked everyone in the abdomen to rush over, but I sent someone to stay behind, there will be no problem!" ”

When the Marquis of Guangping heard the movement here, he also walked over, and after the caretaker said this, he was even more suspicious that today's fire was not an accident at all.

"Butler, where is Xie Chongning?"

"This ...... I didn't pay attention, I think I had already gone back to rest...... "The more the housekeeper talked, the more he felt that something was wrong, since the warehouse was out of the water, he hadn't seen Xie Chongning and a few people, "This ......"

Guangping Hou looked at the housekeeper's hesitant appearance, and his face became more and more ugly, "Don't go and find it quickly!" ”

Mu Yao led away the guards, and the remaining person was knocked unconscious with a stick by Xie Chongning, who was hiding on the side, and several people pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and walked in.

"It's nothing special, why should someone guard it?" Zhang Wei wondered.

Zhang Wei was right, Mu Yao looked at the surrounding walls, there was nothing abnormal, and there was only a tablet in front of him, but there was a cold atmosphere.

But since it is an ancestral hall, a place dedicated to the deceased, it is not surprising that it is a little cold.

"There's a strange smell here." The dustless master seemed to think of something, and he stopped talking.

"That's not right," Mu Yao shook his head, "If you take a closer look at this ancestral hall, do you feel that something is wrong?" ”
