When Chu Yuanlang's last character fell, the room fell silent again, Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and took a sip of the teacup, and when he put down the teacup, an expressionless unfamiliar face was reflected on the rippling water.

Ming Xiu's eyes on the side were slightly downcast, and he put on the sleeve that seemed to be casually placed on the handle of the chair, but he felt a hard fist that was clenched tightly.

The moment the warm big palm touched a small fist, it had already wrapped that small fist tightly in it, and its narrow eyes drifted away, silent.

After a while, Chu Yuanlang seemed to realize that something was wrong, he just smiled and wanted to play a round, but saw Chu Nian raise his eyes and look at Hu Tongzhi with a light smile: "Master Hutang, the past will eventually pass, all we have to do is to do our best to return the innocence of the loyal people, yes or no?" ”

Hu Tongzhi raised his eyebrows, and the teacup that he had just put on his lips was put back on the table, and said slowly: "I think what the Wushuang County Lord said is also very right, but my old man is so old, and he is not interested in caring about those false names anymore, besides, the current Daliang Imperial Court doesn't dare to care about me, right?" ”

Ming Xiu frowned, and then saw Chu Nian get up and said: "It is an honor for the juniors to be able to get to know the master of the Shanghai Hall today, if the master of the Shanghai Hall can talk with the juniors in his busy schedule, the juniors should be honored, but now that the younger brother has been away from home for a long time, I am afraid that the old lady in the family will be worried, and the juniors will stay soon." ”

Seeing this, Chu Yuanlang also understood what Chu Nian meant, and glanced at Chu Nian with some suspicion, but he had no choice but to get up and salute, but Ming Xiu did not move, and the head of the Shanghai Pass raised his eyes and looked at Chu Nian: "So anxious to leave?" Can't you spend a little more time with my bad old man? ”

Chu Nian's eyes sank slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he vigilantly took Chu Yuanlang's hand next to him: "The younger brother is the treasure of the old lady's heart, the only male in my Chu family, the old lady's heart should also be, and now the old lady is not well-thought, I am afraid that after a long time, something will happen." ”

The figure of the head of Hutong did not move, but Chu Nian felt that there was a sound of breaking the air beside her, and she just waved her hand to defend herself, Chu Yuanlang screamed, and her whole body was wrapped in a white strip of cloth, and she fell to the ground and couldn't move.

Chu Nian snorted: "Yuan Lang! ”

Hu Tongzhi's chuckle came from the side: "Since you are here, you should stay for a few more days, doesn't the county lord think that my place is where you can come and leave as you want?" If I'm not mistaken, you just came out of my hall intact, right? If others hear that the unequaled county lord has entered and exited my hall and private house repeatedly, wouldn't it mean that I am incompetent? ”

Chu Nian frowned and looked at Hu Tongzhi who was slowly walking down, and turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu for help, but Ming Xiu just shook his head with a heavy face.

Chu Yuanlang on the ground said with some panic: "Sister! Uncle Hu! You're ......"

Hu Tongzhi stroked his beard and approached Chu Nian's side: "It's okay, I won't hurt him, the young marquis is very fond of me, I plan to keep him for a few more days, but, Wushuang County Lord, if you want to go, you can go, you will never see your brother in the future." ”

Chu Nian bit his lower lip and looked at Chu Yuanlang who was struggling on the ground: "If I don't leave, I will ask the master of the hall to let my brother go." ”

Hutong's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded: "This is very good, then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Young Marquis to leave first, I, a lonely family, always need someone to accompany me to talk." ”

At this point, the white cloth strip on Chu Yuanlang's body was slowly falling off, revealing Chu Yuanlang's slightly panicked face, and Ming Xiu on the side stood up suddenly, his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit slightly: "Hall Master Hu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, my county lord of Daliang, but can he be easily detained?" ”

Hu Tongzhi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ming Xiu, then turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian: "Wushuang County Lord, did this seat forcibly detain you here, or did you voluntarily stay?" ”

Chu Nian pursed his lips, helped Chu Yuanlang, who fell to the ground and seemed to be weak, and turned to look at Ming Xiu, his eyes flashed slightly: "Your Highness, I volunteered to stay to talk to the master of the Shanghai Hall, and I also ask Your Highness to go back and tell the Chu family that I am still fine." ”

I'm fine, you go.

Ming Xiu seemed to understand Chu Nian's meaning from Chu Nian's eyes, but his brows were frowned, at this time, Chu Yuanlang grabbed Chu Nian's arm, and looked at Hu Tongzhi vigilantly: "Master Hutang, you and we have a very happy relationship, and the interaction between friends is not to imprison people." ”

Hu Tongzhi glanced at him and turned his eyes to Chu Nian: "I can regard you as a friend, but you have to know that all the people who want to be friends with you are because you have a sister." ”

Chu Yuanlang was speechless for a moment, he glanced at Chu Nian with a complicated face, and lowered his head as if he was a little injured, his hand was gently patted by Chu Nian, he raised his head, and then looked at a pair of eyes with a faint worry.

Chu Nian said with a smile: "Since the Lord of the Shanghai Hall is so interested in me, I can't refute the face of the Lord of the Shanghai Hall, I hope that I can benefit a lot from interacting with the Lord of the Shanghai Hall in the future, you go back with His Highness first, and in a few days, the Lord of the Shanghai Hall will naturally let me go back." ”

Hearing this, Hu Tongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Nian, but did not speak, but at this point, Ming Xiu had a cold face, and his gaze turned to Hu Tongzhi: "Master Hu, since you have to leave people behind, you should also understand that now that you Qinghe really provokes Da Liang, what will be the consequences." ”

Hu Tongzhi smiled, and his smile revealed a little carelessness: "Your Highness, rest assured, the county lord is my guest, and I will naturally take care of her, but Your Highness, knowing that I am hostile to your Daliang royal family, leave quickly, you should understand where it is safe for Your Highness." ”

Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at Chu Nian's water eyes, those water eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, they bent slightly, as if they were reassuring.

After a long sigh of relief, Ming Xiu turned his eyes to look at Chu Yuanlang: "You go back with Gu first, what's the matter, let's talk about it when everyone goes back." ”

After that, Ming Xiu walked towards the door, Chu Yuanlang glanced at Chu Nian, and was about to say something, but was imprisoned by the white cloth again, Chu Nian frowned, and saw that Ming Xiu was also tied up by the cloth, and Hu Tongzhi on the side said disdainfully: "Don't worry, county lord, I'm just giving them a ride." ”

Chu Nian's face was slightly gloomy, and he saw that the strip of cloth that tied Ming Xiu and Chu Yuanlang suddenly floated up, and Ming Xiu turned his eyes to look at the stall of Hutong in annoyance, and the white cloth strip disappeared.

Seeing this, Chu Nian felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she turned her eyes to look at Hu Tongzhi: "Master Hutang, why is this?" ”

At this moment, there were only two people left in the house, and one of the eyes of Hutong was looking up and down on Chu Nian, and after a while, he smiled and said: "County Lord, there is no need for slaves here, if there is any need, write it on the paper in the room, and this seat will naturally meet the needs of the County Lord living here." ”

After that, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, the scenery in front of Chu Nian suddenly changed, the main hall that was originally serving guests suddenly became a bedroom, the red carpet where Chu Yuan was originally standing turned into white velvet, and the soft collapse was not far away, and there was a white tiger skin on the couch.

On the table beside the bed was a smoking incense burner, and beside the censer was an unlit candlestick, and beside the candlestick was a book, which had been opened, and the pages were painted with strange patterns.

Chu Nian frowned, stepped on the soft white velvet under his feet and took a few steps forward, the door was pushed open, and outside was a snowy garden, I don't know if it was because of illusion, the bare branches were blooming pear blossoms at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The petals fell to the ground in a boiling and fell to the ground, covering a large area of silvery snow, and the place where the petals had withered on the tree instantly grew new petals, which seemed to be endless and beautiful.

She tried to walk around the yard a few times, but she couldn't find the exit, the exit of this house seemed to be sealed, there were white walls and red tiles everywhere, and there was not a single doorway.

Tired, Chu Nian had no choice but to return to the house, but he saw that there was an extra blank piece of paper on the table at some point, and the pen and ink were placed on the side, still inexhaustible.

It seems that the old man is planning to trap her in this illusion for real.

Chu Nian frowned slightly, and after a while, she took a few steps forward as if she remembered something, sat at the table, scribbled and wrote on the white paper, and when the white paper was full, she suddenly heard a "bang", Chu Nian turned around, and saw a whole stack of books being placed on the ground.

It seems that as Hu Tongzhi said, he will satisfy whatever she wants, but if she leaves, he will not fulfill this wish.

After a while, Chu Nian accepted this reality, and in contrast, she wanted to know why Hu Tongzhi had to let her stay.

Two shadows outside the window stood silently in front of the window, seeing the girl in the room holding a book and reading with relish, and the middle-aged man stroked his beard with satisfaction.

The young man on the side looked at him with some suspicion: "Hall Master, what are you doing by keeping her here?" ”

Hu Tongzhi glanced at the young man with side eyes, and said indifferently: "You guess." ”

The young man touched his head: "Could it be that Zhen Ninghou's talent is not enough to open a money bank, so the hall master simply arrested the Wushuang County Lord?" But...... Hall Master, the order from above tells us to watch the Wushuang County Lord and not let the Wushuang County Lord cause us trouble! ”

Hearing this, Hu Tongzhi shook his head helplessly, did not speak, and after a while, seeing that the girl in the room seemed to have completely entered the state of learning, he bent a pair of shining eyes and said: "The child can be taught, like you, I will hand over my life's learning to you, but what are you using to do crooked things." ”

The young man seemed to be a little confused: "Hall Master, what do you mean by this?" You said that the unequaled county lord and his son can be taught...... Could it be that you want to accept the unequaled county lord as an apprentice? Hallmaster, by all means...... The command above is ......"

Before he finished speaking, his head was gently flicked by the folding fan, and he looked up a little aggrieved, and then looked at the Shanghai Stock Connect meaningfully: "Qingyi, you are raised by me by my own hands, if you obey the orders of the pavilion master, don't come to see me in the future." ”

Qingyi was a little aggrieved and a little shocked: "Hall Master...... I thought you would listen to the name of the Pavilion Master and the Wushuang County Lord, before coming down the mountain, but I didn't expect you to need my persuasion at all, but you think about it, if you really want to openly oppose the Pavilion Master, the consequences will not be light. ”

Hu Tongzhi glanced at him with a smile: "Then tell me, why did you come down the mountain to protect her?" Could it be that just by meeting, your sweetheart has changed from a little maid to a dignified county lord? ”
