Leng Li said lightly: "Everyone knows that we were ordered by our master to go to Xichu to find the senior brother and hand over the master token kept by the senior uncle to the senior brother." It's a big deal, it can't

Delay, everyone must not covet the hospitality of the City Lord's Mansion and forget the Master's entrustment. ”

"Are you going to leave soon? Can't stay two more days? Chen Hu was a little reluctant, he was just two days stable and was about to go on the road again, the future was uncertain, and he was not familiar with life, and he didn't know how much he wanted

It took a long time to arrive in Xichu and find the senior brother.

Long Ning stared at him playfully, and teased: "What, Erhu, do you still like it here, and you want to stay here and not leave?" ”

Chen Hu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I just ...... Hehe," he smiled innocently: "Even if you stay for two more days, it's nothing, wait until I'm full before I go on the road, okay, senior sister."

？ ”

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded: "I'm afraid, we won't be able to leave so easily......"

Everyone was taken aback, and they all stared at Mu Xiaosu who was speaking, and Long Kai's face sank even more: "Xiao Su, what do you mean?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

Mu Xiaosu slowly ate the last grain of rice, put down the chopsticks and said softly: "I heard it clearly, there are people guarding outside." If Uncle Shi doesn't believe it, you can go and look at the window

Outside. ”

Long Ning suddenly got up, walked to the window and looked out from the gap, she couldn't help but be startled, and when she turned around, her face had become ugly: "Sure enough...... Dad, there are really people guarding it

Behind the flowers, it seems to be watching us. ”

"Damn, you dare to ......" Long Kai's face trembled.

But after a little thought, he knew it, and nodded coldly: "It seems that this city lord is a cautious person, for fear that we will leak the news." Perhaps, in addition to taking care of the old lady's affairs,

There are other secrets. ”

Only Chen Hu didn't understand, and wondered: "What are you talking about, I can't understand it, what kind of surveillance, why are you spying on us?" Senior sister, are you mistaken? I also

Check it out......"

He got up and walked towards the gate, and Long Kai shouted in a low voice: "Come back for me, sit down!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Long Ning had already rushed out like the wind, grabbing Chen Hu's ears and dragging him back, the latter screamed directly, but Long Ning didn't care. I kept getting him back

In place, then let go: "Just your impulse, don't look at the occasion!" ”

Although the meal has not been finished yet, everyone has lost their minds, and they all have different thoughts and different complexions.

"Dad, what are we going to do now?" Long Ning looked at Long Kai and said, "I don't know why this county guard is spying on us, is it possible that he won't let us go?" We didn't do anything, little brother

also cured the old lady Guan, how could he do this? ”

Long Kai was silent and did not speak, but his whole body exuded an imposing momentum, obviously angry.

has always been unrestrained, and has not been interfered with and restricted, even if his senior brother was once the head, he was polite to him, and he would usually discuss matters big and small. But now

It is unforgivable that a county guard dares to spy on them and take revenge!

Leng Li shook his head, his fair face looked light and light, as if he didn't take it to heart: "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding?" Let's not be casual until we are informed

Guess, so as not to mess up. ”

"Do you still need to guess, it's all clear, try it if you don't believe it!"

Long Ning immediately stared at Chen Hu and instigated: "Second Tiger, give your second senior brother a try, go out for a walk, and see if you stop you." ”

Unaware that he had become a test subject, Chen Hu immediately stood up and strode towards the door: "Okay! I'll give it a try! ”

Long Kai was just about to stop it, but the words stopped when he reached his lips, and even Leng Li looked at Chen Hu with a look of wanting to know the result. Only Mu Xiaosu picked up the spoon and served it to himself again

Bowl of soup, drink slowly, slowly, like a girl.

I only heard a squeak, Chen Hu had already opened the door and strode out. As soon as Long Ning wanted to follow along, he heard Chen Hu's exclamation outside: "You guys...... Do? ”

Immediately replied with a respectful voice, but it made Chen Hu panic, and several people in the room heard it wrong, Chen Hu had been blocked back by a few people who were five big and three coarse, and his mouth was

Although he said it politely, his eyes were obviously wrong. When everyone pulled Chen Hu back and closed the door again, they all saw the solemn expressions of the others.

"Just now, I, I opened the door and went out, no, I didn't do anything, they just ...... They came up and said that they were not allowed to walk around without permission, senior sister, you saw their eyes, fierce

Baba, I'm almost going to do it......"

Chen Hu looked aggrieved and puzzled, and Long Kai had already said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, we have all seen it!" ”

Sitting down menacingly, he had an angry face and slapped the table fiercely: "It's just unreasonable!" ”

I have never received this kind of treatment, and I have been avenged by others!

Long Ning also looked worried, didn't know what to do, turned his head to look at Leng Li: "Senior brother, what now?" Is it true that we can't go? ”

"Probably not." Leng Li shook his head, "Since the city lord didn't plan to kill us, then there would be no one." I guess it's because we're afraid of leaking something, so we're not allowed to follow it

We better pretend we don't notice, and when someone comes, we don't show it and see what's going on. ”

Seeing that Leng Li was calm and calm, Long Ning also had a little refreshment, and then he remembered something: "Xiao Su, how do you know that there are people guarding outside?" ”

A bowl of soup has been drunk, Mu Xiaosu smiled slightly: "What did I hear?" ”

"Hear me? When did your ears become so sharp? Long Ning was surprised, but when she saw Leng Li, the latter shook his head at her, signaling her not to ask again, Long Ning seemed to remember

What, finally held back curiosity.

After a moment of silence, Long Kai spoke up: "Since this is the case, then when someone comes, I will leave it to Leng Li to deal with you." It's okay for us to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the time being, but we must first ensure our own safety

to find out what's going on. ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi." Leng Li nodded.

Although they were in a hurry to leave, they had to ensure their safety first, for fear that there was some secret hidden in the city lord's mansion and they would inadvertently detect it, so the city lord let people spy on them. reach

I'm afraid I'll have to study what this secret is.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, Zhang Ping came.

He smiled and asked everyone if they had eaten and stayed well, and the others did not speak, only thanked the city lord for his hospitality, saying that they still had something to leave, so they didn't bother much.

"How many are leaving? Where to go, can you tell me about it, if you can help a few people, it is naturally incumbent. Zhang Ping didn't mean to stop at all, only with a little concern

Curious.

Smiling slightly, he said coldly: "We are going to the capital of Western Chu to do some business, the road is far away, so we won't trouble Steward Zhang." Thank you Steward Zhang and Lord County Guard for your hospitality in the past few days.

We'll pack our bags and we'll be ready to go. ”

"Go to the capital of Western Chu? That's a thousand miles away! ”

Zhang Ping looked surprised, but he didn't expect it: "What are you going to do?" Does it matter? Since you have cured the old lady, you are the benefactor of our county keeper, what is there

Even if you say it, the county keeper will definitely help. ”

"No, it's just a little thing." Leng Li, politely refused.

"Hey, the benefactor's business is a big thing, what's so polite! If I don't help if I find out, the warden will definitely be angry. You're welcome, you're welcome, we're the county guard

There are also a few acquaintances in the capital of Western Chu, so it's convenient for you to do something, isn't it? ”

Seeing that Zhang Ping looked like he was breaking the casserole and asking to the end, he smiled coldly and said, "Thank you Steward Zhang for your kindness, it's really not a big deal, otherwise we will definitely ask Lord County Shou for help."

Finish. ”

"Since it's no big deal, why don't you stay for a few more days?" Zhang Ping said with a smile: "Our adults are the most hospitable, a few of them are benefactors who saved the old lady, so naturally we have to stay for a while longer."

Isn't it? ”

"You ......"

Seeing that Chen Hu was about to make trouble, Leng Li slapped him down, nodded and smiled: "Since the county guard is enthusiastic to stay, then we might as well be respectful, thank you to the county guard."

Person. ”

"That's right, a few people are delicious and drinkable, I'm going to tell the county guard, see if there are any other items that need to be added, and I'll send them to a few later." After speaking, Zhang Pingyin

Qin went out.

When the door closed again, Leng Li let go of his hand, Chen Hu finally straightened up and shouted: "Senior brother, what are you doing with me!" ”

"You still say? If you make a fuss just now, we're all done! Long Ning was angry at him: "We are now trapped in the City Lord's Mansion, are you comfortable and happy now?" ”

Finally knowing that something was wrong, Chen Hu scratched his head and said aggrievedly: "It's none of my business......"

At this time, Mu Xiaosu, who had always been shy and timid, raised his head again: "Senior brother and sister, senior uncle, I think...... We might have something going on tonight......"

"Oh my God!"

Long Ning couldn't help but cover his face: "Xiao Su, did you hear something again?" Why are your ears so sharp, I haven't heard anything, don't you scare us, okay? ”

Mu Xiaosu suddenly blushed, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, I didn't hear it, I felt it, and it was a bad premonition......

With his eyes wide, Long Ning stared at him in disbelief: "No, you're not a woman, where do you have any premonitions?!" ”

Mu Xiaosu suddenly wondered: "Do only women have a premonition?" It's weird......"

After the meal, soon a maidservant girl took everyone back to Shangshanju, but the things promised by Steward Zhang did not deliver, it seemed that it was just talking. Everyone has long had speculation, too

They didn't go back to the house, only stayed in Long Kai's main house, the candles were bright, and they waited quietly.

In a blink of an eye, it is dark, and it is the third watch.

Mu Xiaosu's premonition did not come true, there was a black light outside, there was no movement, Chen Hu was dozing off on the table, Long Ning was worried, pacing back and forth in the room.

Leng Li looked at Mu Xiaosu, who was sitting quietly reading a book on the side, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Ning'er, can you sit down, I'm dizzy." ”

"It's all Xiao Su, scaring me so much, I've been worried."

Looking at the closed door, there was no sound outside, Long Ning complained: "Xiao Su, you are talking nonsense again, what is ......?"

Suddenly, with a whoosh, a cold light flashed, and the candle on the table was suddenly extinguished.
