When Steward Xiang heard this, he turned his anger into joy, nodded happily, and said: "Now no one in the entire Chu family wants to take the lead in jumping out to be a clown, and they all want to make a profit, so they made a choice between two hands. After all, at this stage, their strength is not enough to fight against Chu Tianheng, and they will definitely use various methods to hold me hostage, if I don't know how greasy this Lantian Ancient Jade is, then this Lantian Ancient Jade will become the one by my side, and they can use this to get rid of me at any time, this is their plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Listening to Steward Xiang's words, Chu Yunden exclaimed, he didn't expect that the conspiracy in this was so terrifying.

"Then what is Father Xiang going to do now?"

Steward Xiang smiled: "I know, but don't say it, let them mistakenly think that I have fallen into their trap, so that they will have no worries and will go further." ”

"Go further?" Chu Yun suddenly realized again, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he had to admire Father Xiang's forbearance and wisdom.

"Yes, now they are afraid of my power, so they fear that I will make a profit, which is why they have resorted to such a conspiracy to kill two birds with one stone. Steward Xiang looked calm, and then stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't they like to play with conspiracy? ”

"Everything is subject to Xiang's father's arrangement. Chu Yun got up and bowed.

Steward Xiang nodded happily, then moved his eyes to Aunt Shen and Aunt Liu next to him, and asked: "This is not what I am worried about, one of the things I am most worried about now is that there is a traitor in our mansion, and the relationship between me and you is only known to the people in our mansion, how can they know?

Looking at the blue sky ancient jade carved into the shape of a heart on the table, Steward Xiang was worried, what he was most worried about was not the enemy's conspiracy, but the thief in the family.

Compared to dealing with the enemy, this kind of thing is the most difficult thing to deal with, and if it is not handled well, everyone in the entire prefecture will be in danger.

"This... I'll look it up now. Aunt Liu said.

Aunt Liu is extremely capable, even if she has to get up and deal with it, after all, traitors are the most terrible, the sooner you find out, the sooner you can reassure everyone.

Steward Xiang waved his hand, stopped her, and said loudly: "Don't worry, I guess it shouldn't be someone from our house, a person with a ghost in his heart, that kind of eyes can't fill me." ”

In terms of observing words and feelings, no one is more confident than Steward Xiang, and his eyes as a thief can never hide from his eyes. After observing it in the past few days, he found that there was no such look in the mansion, so it was impossible for a traitor to appear in the mansion.

"That?" The three of them were puzzled, what did Brother Tian (Xiang's father) mean by what he meant?

Steward Xiang's expression was slightly solemn, stroked his beard, and said, "I just need to confirm, Aunt Liu, did you say something to outsiders when you went to buy those silver carp last time?"

"I... Aunt Liu recalled the conversation with the old woman at the market six days ago, and her face was ashamed, "I said to that old Ou, I said. ”

Seeing her choked tone, Steward Xiang gently patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Pay attention next time, that Lao Ou's identity is definitely not simple, do you often buy fish from her?"

"Yes. . . I often go to her to buy fish, and every time I check it with a silver needle, it's not poisonous, so I just... I just... Aunt Liu bit her upper lip fiercely, and blood dripped from the corners of her mouth.

"That's it, she just used this method to deceive your trust, and then attack us at a critical time, so the fish is not poisonous!"

Aunt Liu's face was full of shame, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Steward Xiang stretched out his big hand and patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't take it to heart, I don't blame you, and you can still do it, doesn't she think she has won your trust? ”

Seeing this, Aunt Shen on the side patted her on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to take it to heart, so she immediately turned her eyes to Steward Xiang and asked, "Then what now?"

"I just want to confirm this, after all, intuition alone is not enough, I want to know from you how this news leaked out, now I hear you say this, I will rest assured, it doesn't matter, let's eat" After Steward Xiang finished speaking, he picked up the rice bowl and ate it in a big gulp, he knew that the two women in front of him could take charge of themselves, but sometimes they would be negligent, so he only needed a little reminder, it was enough, and he didn't have to say too much.

"Yes. Aunt Liu and Aunt Shen also picked up the rice bowl, and their faces were carefree.

Steward Xiang has always eaten quickly, swallowing a large bowl of white rice in his stomach in a few minutes, staring at the "heart-shaped" "Lantian Ancient Jade" on the table, and suddenly smiled: "This kind of old-fashioned method, they can also handle it, I don't think they are as powerful as they imagined, I estimate that they are by no means the opponent of Chu Tianheng and that fox spirit." Then he moved his eyes to Aunt Liu and Aunt Shen, and asked with interest, "Which of you wants this thing?"

"I don't want it, disgusting. Aunt Liu replied very simply, and then continued to eat in a big gulp, but her eyes glanced at the heart-shaped blue sky ancient jade from time to time.

Seeing Aunt Liu's insincere appearance, Aunt Shen covered her mouth and smiled, not knowing who was staring at this treasure just now, so she nodded at Steward Xiang, "Give it to me, it's also a kind of commemoration." ”

Steward Xiang nodded happily and said, "Well, I have asked Uncle Qin to deal with the * and venom inside it, and there will be no danger." However, if something goes wrong, let me know in a timely manner. ”

Aunt Shen took the heart-shaped "Lantian Ancient Jade" in Steward Xiang's hand, and immediately smiled slightly: "Such a good treasure is actually a trap, it's really bad." ”

Aunt Liu, who had the food in her mouth, swallowed the food in one go, and suddenly remembered Uncle Qin, who was mentioned by Steward Xiang, and sighed slightly: "No wonder Brother Tian, you want to go to Tianyun Palace, Uncle Qin has really helped us too much." ”

The three of them nodded in response, recalling Uncle Qin's kindness over the years, they may not be able to repay it for the rest of their lives, they are all grateful people, no matter what kind of purpose Uncle Qin has, but after all, they have helped them escape death many times, and this kindness should be reciprocated.

Of course, Chu Yun would also repay Uncle Qin's kindness, but he suddenly remembered what Uncle Qin said that day, "Zhao Jiufeng only sees trees, but not forests. I couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence.

What exactly is a tree? What is a forest? Why did Qin Bo say this? What was the relationship between him and Zhao Jiufeng back then? Why did Qin Bo's tone reveal sarcasm for Zhao's seniors?

One question after another instantly filled Chu Yun's mind.

Swallowing the food wrapped in his mouth in one go, Chu Yun said goodbye to the three elders and went to the sword practice room again.

Curiosity is useful, but keeping your feet on the ground is fundamental.

This year's martial arts conference is as grand as ever, and it has not changed anything because of the current split in the upper echelons of the Chu family, after all, no matter who it is, they all need the martial arts conference to achieve some of their respective goals.

In order to alleviate the internal and external troubles of the Chu family, Chu Tianheng invited the surrounding forces to participate in this martial arts competition in accordance with everyone's suggestions, and he hoped to deter those who had ill intentions towards the Chu family in this way.

When Chu Yun heard the news, he suddenly remembered the four words "lure the wolf into the room".

"This abacus, everyone can fight, but the way of playing is different, Chu Tianheng wants to achieve the effect of deterrence in this way, but he doesn't know that those people will also use this to break into the Chu family. Chu Yun, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, secretly sighed in his heart.

Today happens to be a rest day, every fifteen days, Chu Yun will give himself a holiday, after all, long-term nervous tension is not a good thing for martial arts cultivation.

Chu Yun's martial arts training heart is not as good as those transcendent sword gods, let alone the pure sword heart, he still needs to go through some human lives to boost his heart, not to mention that he needs a certain amount of news to help Father Xiang realize his plan.
