After the next person brought two people who claimed to be old friends of Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming into the main hall, Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming were pleasantly surprised to find that those two people turned out to be the eldest brother Xiao Ranjun and the third uncle Xiao Shumou! But looking at the low-key outfits and mysterious appearance of the two, they knew that something big must have happened.

The third uncle, Xiao Shumou, left for a long time, and Xiao Ranjun also went to look for him, as for what the two of them were doing, no one knew. Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming invited the two of them directly to the warm pavilion in the inner room, and only after sending them away did they greet each other.

"Third uncle, eldest brother, how did you get here?" Xiao Lingxiao didn't go around in circles, and asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xiao Ranjun pulled Xiao Lingxiao to take a closer look, and said with a smile, "My sister's face is much better than before, very good, very good." Big brother came and went in a hurry this time, and he didn't bring you anything back, so I'll make up for it later. ”

Xiao Lingxiao saw that Xiao Ranjun's eyes were extremely sincere in concern, and her heart was filled with warmth, and she said with a smile, "It's good that my brother is back, my sister eats and dresses well every day, look at it, isn't it all a little fat." It's you, brother, who seem to have suffered hardship. ”

Xiao Ranjun was originally lean and thin, but now coupled with the dust, it looks distressing.

"Isn't it suffering? Not only did he endure hardships, but I also suffered from the third uncle. Xiao Shumou, who was sitting on the side, put down the teacup with a smile and said, "We arrived at Fali Temple first, just when Xuan Gang went back, and when he heard him talk about what happened recently, we rushed here non-stop." Girl, is there anything else in trouble? If you have one, you can leave it to the third uncle. ”

Xiao Shumou was wearing a simple green gown, and the waist was still tied with coarse cloth, under such a costume, he seemed to have deliberately changed to a more marketable appearance, which also made him a little more debauched. From such a mouth, Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help but think of the gangster leader in the underworld, it seemed that he could do anything as long as he said it, it was crazy and dragging.

It's just that Lu Zhongyang got everything done and didn't leave Xiao Shumou a chance to show his means. Xiao Lingxiao glanced at Xiao Fengming with a smile, turned her head and said to Xiao Shumou, "The third uncle came back at the right time, Fengming is still a missing person now, it is better to appear with you, it can be regarded as a reasonable excuse." ”

Then Xiao Lingxiao briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and the smile on Xiao Shumou's face became cold after hearing it, "No wonder you are hiding here, Li Xuan only said a rough idea, it turns out that there are so many hidden secrets here." ”

The other three people present all felt that when Xiao Shumou said this, a cold murderous aura suddenly emanated from his body, but he was quickly suppressed. Then I saw Xiao Shumou return to normal, and said, "Jing Zhaoyin, I'll go say hello to them, but before that, I want to meet the woman you rescued." Isn't she dead yet? ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shumou was interested in the woman, and it was cold outside, so Xiao Fengming volunteered to take Xiao Shumou to see the woman, while Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Ranjun stayed in the warm pavilion.

Xiao Fengming and Xiao Shumou came out of the warm pavilion, and they heard Xiao Shumou speak, "Fengming, there were many places that Ling Xiao skipped when she said those things just now, have you ever told her about your life experience?" ”

Xiao Fengming frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Xiao Shumou, and asked with some vigilance, "What does my father know?" ”

Xiao Shumou smiled indifferently, "The secret guards who followed you are unusual, and your background must also be very secretive." If you call me father, I don't know if I have this blessing or not. However, Feng Ming, I took Ran Jun away, but left Ling Xiao to suffer in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't complain about me, but I have been difficult to calm down in my heart, so no matter what happens in the future, I, the third uncle, will definitely do my best to protect Ling Xiao, if someone brings danger to her, no matter who it is, I can only be the enemy of it. ”

Xiao Shumou's voice was very gentle, just like a father saying something to his son. Xiao Fengming heard this, his heart was a little sour, he sighed lightly, and said, "Father is a wise and brave person, I understand what you mean." I am sincere to Ling Xiao, if one day I can't protect her, I will leave with danger, and I will never let anyone hurt her in the slightest. ”

Xiao Shumou turned his head to look at Xiao Fengming, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "If I had been obedient, married and had children, my son would be as old as you now." It's too late to regret it, hahahaha......"

Xiao Fengming also laughed and said, "When my father said this, did he want to expel me from the house?" ”

The two talked and laughed like this, and came to a courtyard in the back house, and after entering the bedroom, they saw the woman who was rescued by Xiao Lingxiao and them. The woman's condition seemed to be gradually stable after eating the pills fed by Xiao Lingxiao, but she never woke up, so the doctor came to see, and the doctor shook his head like a rattle, saying that the woman's meridians were out of order, and even if she continued her life with good medicine, she would definitely not be able to last long.

Xiao Shumou looked at the woman carefully, and called for her again, then frowned and thought for a long time, and said to Xiao Fengming, "Fengming, you go out first." ”

Xiao Fengming was stunned when he heard this, but he still left the room silently. When he walked out, Xiao Fengming inadvertently glanced back, but was shocked to find that Xiao Shumou actually lifted the quilt on the woman's body, as if he was taking off her clothes!

Xiao Fengming's surprised eyes almost fell, and after withdrawing, he thought to himself, could Xiao Shumou be a pervert? Why do that to an unconscious woman!

After a while, Xiao Shumou walked out casually and said with a smile, "Let's go back." ”

He didn't say anything, but he didn't know that his image of being pure and lacking in Xiao Fengming's heart had been completely reversed.

At the same time as they left, Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Lingxiao had a good conversation in the warm pavilion.

"Big brother, you and the third uncle left suddenly, and came back at this time, why do I think it's such a coincidence, could it be related to this war?" Xiao Lingxiao said tentatively.

Xiao Ranjun laughed loudly, "Ling Xiao, you are really smart and clever, you are right, it is indeed related to this war." It's just that what the third uncle and I went to do had nothing to do with the war, we were just entrusted by the third uncle's friend to help find someone in the Wuchi country. ”

It's looking for someone again.

Xiao Lingxiao thought to herself that this other world was really easy to be embarrassed......

"Nalu Zhongyang said that he was looking for someone, and he searched for seven years. Big brother, the person you're looking for won't be so hard to find, right? ”

Xiao Ranjun smiled bitterly when he heard this, "If it's so hard to find, I won't get involved." When I joined the third uncle, the third uncle had already found the clue, and we followed the clue all the way around, but we didn't expect the clue to return to the imperial city in the end, so we came back in a hurry. ”

"If the person is in the imperial city, it should not be difficult to find." After all, even Lu Zhongyang found clues in the imperial city that he had been looking for a woman for seven years, and with the third uncle's ability, it was estimated that it would be easier to find someone in the imperial city.

Obviously, Xiao Ranjun also thought so, "If it was before, it should be simple." But now that the two countries are at war, things may not be ......."

Having said this, Xiao Ranjun suddenly thought that he was talking a little too much, he turned his head to look at Xiao Lingxiao, and when he saw the smile on her face, he knew that people had guessed something. Xiao Ranjun shook his head with a helpless smile, and said, "Ling Xiao, you and my brother and sister have not seen each other for many years, and my brother was not by my side when you were suffering. Sister, you are as beautiful as a flower, intelligent, my brother has met a lot of young heroes outside, all of them are both good and beautiful, Tao Wuluo is talented, as long as your sister says what kind of man you like, my brother must find it for my sister. How is it? ”

Xiao Lingxiao hid her face and smiled when she heard this, "Brother, you really look like a matchmaker when you say this." An ominous daughter like me, where is there a man who is willing to marry home? My brother's mind might as well be on finding my sister-in-law. In case the old lady and the eldest lady force you to marry in the future, you will be afraid that it will be too late if you want to refuse. ”

"Who dares to say that you are an ominous daughter, I, Xiao Ranjun, will make him a ghost under the sword!" Xiao Ranjun widened his eyes and raised his voice a little, "In this world, men are allowed to choose by their sister at will, as long as it is what you like, my brother will let my sister get his wish no matter what!" ”

After saying this with confidence, Xiao Ranjun showed a smile again, lowered his voice and asked, "Has my sister ever had a favorite person?" If you really have one, tell your brother, and your brother will help you! ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Ranjun with a concerned and a little silly, and smiled even more happily, and it took a long time for her to lower her voice and ask Xiao Ranjun, "What does my brother think of the fourth prince?" ”

Xiao Ranjun was stunned when he heard this, then straightened his face and said, "Ling Xiao, if you still want to marry him, don't blame my brother for blocking it." Although the four princes are now in power in front of the emperor, they may not be able to ascend to the throne in the future, you ......"

Xiao Lingxiao didn't wait for him to speak at length, waved his hand and asked again, "What does that brother think of the Six Princes?" ”

Xiao Ranjun was stunned again, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "The sixth prince is much more stable than the fourth prince, but he has been dealing with prison matters, and he will inevitably have some bad luck...... I don't think it's good. ”

Xiao Lingxiao smiled and asked, "Then brother, have you seen the five princes?" And what about him? ”

Xiao Ranjun frowned and said, "The maiden family of Concubine Zhang De, the mother of the five princes, is dedicated to exploring the secrets of the emperor, and the five princes have been in the city since childhood, and on the surface he is a hearty and chivalrous person who is addicted to martial arts, but in fact he is the most hidden among the princes. And he's been wandering most of the time, and few people really know him. If my sister takes a fancy to him, she will be a brother...... Nor do I agree. ”

Seeing that Xiao Ranjun's face had become very ugly, Xiao Lingxiao smiled and asked in a low voice, "Since several princes are not in my brother's eyes, what do you say, brother, how about Feng Ming?" ”
