"Brother Xu, I never dreamed that you were still alive. That's great! She had a pleasant smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes.

This experience is like a roller coaster. Yesterday I was sad and couldn't overcome myself, but at this moment, I am overjoyed.

Chu Tiankuo frowned. In addition to the jealousy ingredient in it, he also faintly noticed that something seemed to be wrong. He walked over and pulled Cigarette's hand away and stood in front of Cigarette. His sharp eyes stared at Xu Xiucai, and he asked coldly, "Brother Xu." How did you come to Green Hills? ”

In other words, why did you come to Bixiang Villa to find cigarettes? Or, there is a deeper meaning, how do you recognize the way to Spice Hills?

In short, in Chu Tiankuo's heart, there were many doubts. Xu Xiucai fell into the river, how could he still be unharmed? Why was he able to find Spice Villa? How did he know that the cigarette was in Bixiang Villa?

Previously, Chu Tiankuo had no prejudice against Xu Xiucai. But at this time, he looked at Xu Xiucai's gaze, full of doubts and exploration.

Smoke was stunned. What's the matter, brother? Eat such a big vinegar? It's not like his style. Under normal circumstances, seeing that Xu Xiucai is not dead, shouldn't he cheer? Shouldn't it be asking him how to get out of danger or something?

Listening to the tone of the senior brother, it seems that Xu Xiucai is not welcome.

Xu Xiucai expected that Chu Tiankuo would have this question, and he coped with it easily: "In Qingliu Mountain before, I heard Yanxiang say that you live in Bixiang Villa. As he spoke, his eyes fixed on the incense of cigarettes, as if to ask her for confirmation.

Of course, this reason could not convince Chu Tiankuo. He asked, "Brother Xu, are you coming on foot, or?" ”

Faced with Chu Tiankuo's aggressive interrogation, Xu Xiucai patiently replied: "I came by carriage. Don't believe it, you see, the coachman is still there. ”

Following where he pointed forward, there was a carriage parked. This made Chu Tiankuo even more suspicious.

For the elder brother to ask some strange questions, the smoke is full of disdain. She pushed away Senior Brother, walked up to Xu Xiucai, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xu." Didn't you fall into the river too? Who saved you? ”

Xu Xiucai casually lied: "It was a nearby fishing boat that saw me floating on the river and salvaged me onto the boat." "The fact is that the boatman Niu Kelian saved him. Because of lying, in the face of the smoke and incense, his gaze was a little evasive.

The smoke was immersed in the joy that Xu Xiucai was still alive, and he didn't notice anything.

The careful Chu Tiankuo had already seen the difference. He said lightly: "Brother Xu, what are you doing here to find cigarettes?" ”

Xu Xiucai replied like a stream: "I was worried about the smoke and thought she was buried in the river." So as soon as I got out of danger, I came to see her. On the other hand, I'm sure you'll be able to save the incense. I was afraid that the smoke would think I was dead and feel sorry for me, so I rushed to see her. ”

He thought he had said it perfectly.

Chu Tiankuo didn't pierce it, but his expression became serious: "Brother Xu, since you see it now, Yanxiang is okay, you can go." ”

Smoke Xiang was stunned again when he heard this. The person who came was a guest, why did the senior brother open his mouth and let people go for no reason? This was not his hospitality. However, when she thought about it, she soon had a snickering in her heart. Because, she thinks to herself, the senior brother is jealous, this is a performance that cares about her.

She was overjoyed, and she wanted to raise the bar with her senior brother on her face. She smiled and said to Xu Xiucai, "Brother Xu." We went inside and had tea. ”

Chu Tiankuo stood still, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Xu Xiucai secretly wiped his sweat and walked in with the incense of cigarettes.

Chu Tiankuo was just about to follow, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Chu Tiankuo!" He is familiar with this voice, if it is not Dongfanghong, who will it be.

He turned around and saw Dongfang Hong dressed in a fast trapping official uniform, with a lofty and formal attitude. Behind Dongfang Hong, there was also a group of people from the yamen. That posture was like a pomp and circumstance to arrest the prisoner.

Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Lord Dongfang, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you came to arrest me? ”

Dongfang Hong's face was solemn, and he said in a consultative tone: "I am acting on orders. The prefect has already ordered you to be arrested and returned to the yamen to try the case. Thank you for your cooperation. ”

He could only ask Chu Tiankuo to cooperate. He was not at all sure that he would be able to capture Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo didn't go around in circles with him anymore, and was very refreshing: "Okay." Lord Dongfang, you give me two days' grace. Two days later, I surrendered to the Yamen. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Hong's heart was on fire, and his perfunctory color was lost, revealing an impatient expression. He said in a mocking tone, "Chu Tiankuo, are you trying to force me to do it?" I know you're scheming, and I advise you to stop playing tricks. If you keep procrastinating like this, you're just wasting each other's time. This time, in any case, I will no longer listen to your quibbles. ”

Chu Tiankuo restrained his smile, looked solemn, and said cautiously: "Lord Dongfang, I go to the Yamen this time, I don't know what I will face. I arranged my life with cigarettes and went without worry. “

His words moved Dongfang Hong. Dongfang Hong was stunned, pondered for a moment, moved his heart of compassion, and said, "Then I will give you two more days." I hope you keep your promises. ”

Chu Tiankuo raised his hand and clenched his fists in thanks: "Thank you, Lord Dongfang, for your success." ”

I wanted to invite Dongfanghong into the lobby to serve tea, but Dongfanghong was busy with official business, so it was inconvenient to stay longer. The two stood in place for a while, chatted a few words about the aftermath, and Dongfanghong got up to say goodbye.

After Chu Tiankuo sent Dongfang Hong away, he went to the lobby. He walked to the door of the lobby, and before he could step in, he heard a commotion inside.

He stood still and listened. Yanxiang is talking to Xu Xiucai about Chi Xiang's deeds. He also talked about some private things about him.

It seems that Yanxiang has revealed to Xu Xiucai that he is the prince. Thousands of instructions to let Yanxiang not talk about this, but she just didn't listen. Chu Tiankuo walked into the lobby with a straight face, and his attitude was not friendly: "Brother Xu, I have something to discuss with Yanxiang, please go back first." ”

As he spoke, he shouted, "Steward Hu, send off guests." ”

Xu Xiucai squirmed his lips, and finally had no words, his face was shocked, and he looked at Chu Tiankuo in disbelief.

Butler Hu outside the door ran in, and he couldn't help but say that he was going to pull Xu Xiucai away.

The smoke pulled away Steward Hu, like an eagle protecting a chicken, protecting Xu Xiucai. Her eyes were like torches, staring at the senior brother, and arguing: "Senior brother, why did you allow the eldest brother to go?" He's writing that legend, and he still needs to ask me for advice. ”

Chu Tiankuo glanced at her amusedly, and said coldly: "Just because I am the young owner of Bixiang Villa. ”

Smoke Fragrance rolled her eyes disapprovingly and smiled contemptuously: "Then you can drive me away." Brother Xu goes, and I will go with him. ”

As she spoke, she looked arrogant and looked up triumphantly. I said in my heart, see who dares not to give me face.
