Chapter 11: The Hidden Queen
"Deacon, Supervisor Lu took his nephew Lu Hongyu away from the station. ”
Soon.
Du Feng, who accompanied Lu Zixun to leave, went and returned to report respectfully to Xia Fan.
"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so let him go. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand disappreciatively.
“...... Deacon, I beg your pardon for any confusion below. ”
Du Feng was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said.
Say. ”
Xia Fan didn't raise his head.
“...... Why do you want to protect Zhou Xiaoyu at the expense of offending Supervisor Lu?"
Du Feng gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Xia Fan said in a calm tone.
"Don't dare. ”
Du Feng lowered his head and hurriedly arched his hand.
"What do you think of Zhou Xiaoyu compared to Lu Zixun's nephew?"
Xia Fan glanced at Du Feng and said nonchalantly.
“...... Returning to the deacon, from the perspective of his subordinates, when it comes to the talent potential of martial arts, Lu Zixun's nephew is naturally inferior to Zhou Xiaoyu. ”
Du Feng said truthfully.
"Isn't this enough? Du Feng! I hope you can remember it well! We are selecting talents for the Holy Gate, not for someone's selfish interests, otherwise why do you think the Holy Gate would have specially appointed me to carry out this mission in the first place?"
Xia Fan deliberately put on a posture of righteous words and reprimanded sharply.
“...... When I know that I am wrong, I ask the deacon to punish him. ”
Du Feng was speechless for a moment, and immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear.
"This is my last chance for you, and I hope you don't let me down again, go down. ”
Xia Fan waved back happily.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, and I will certainly take it to heart. ”
After speaking.
Du Feng got up and said goodbye to Xia Fan and left.
"You shouldn't have been exposed just now, right?"
After Du Feng left, Xia Fan couldn't help touching his chin and muttering to himself.
Although Du Feng is Zang Tao's subordinate, his origin is a bit unusual.
According to Xia Fan's understanding from Zang Tao.
When Tianmen assigned him to carry out this mission, Du Feng was the deputy assigned to him by Tianmen.
He didn't know much about Du Feng, he only knew that the other party had entered the inner door through the selection assessment twelve years ago, and compared with the outstanding candidates in the same period, Du Feng seemed to be unknown.
Therefore, Zang Tao had doubts about whether Du Feng's mission was specifically to supervise him.
After all, this is a fairly common thing in Heavengate.
So most of the time, Zang Tao directly delegated power to Du Feng, and seemed to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
But in fact, Zang Tao really wants to be in charge, and Du Feng only has the right to suggest and not the right to decide.
For example, this time Zhou Xiaoyu's incident.
Xia Fan clearly wanted to protect Zhou Xiaoyu, and even after moving out of righteousness, Du Feng could only shut up.
As for Lu Zixun.
He had already arranged the other party clearly, but the poor other party was still unaware, and he was probably still thinking about how to plan against himself.
......
Recently, Zhou Xiaoyu's days have been very moist.
Since the canteen incident.
Zhou Xiaoyu was not punished, but Lu Hongyu left the station.
This result undoubtedly shocked the jaws of countless children.
Gradually, there were rumors that the captain of the captain valued Zhou Xiaoyu very much, and the elders who did not hesitate to offend Lu Hongyu for her had to defend her, which shows Zhou Xiaoyu's status in the captain's mind, and for a while there were even speculations about whether Zhou Xiaoyu was the illegitimate daughter of the captain of the ship.
Outcome.
Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly attracted more followers, and the children who were originally not dealing with her began to quietly avoid her, trying not to appear in front of the other party's sight, lest she suddenly come to the door on a whim.
"Little fish, you're getting more and more popular these days. ”
After eating.
On the way back to the room.
Zhou Xiaoyu would respond to the children who took the initiative to greet her from time to time.
The so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Although Zhou Xiaoyu was already annoyed in her heart, she still smiled and responded patiently to everyone.
She's such a person.
Whoever is good to her, she will be good to whomever she is.
Whoever treats her badly, she will speak directly with her fists.
All in all.
Zhou Xiaoyu's personality was largely influenced by Xia Fan.
"Hongying, don't say it, you're going to laugh stiff if you don't look at my face. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu still maintained a smile on the surface, but his mouth complained like a mosquito.
"There's no way, who made you the most important person for the captain now, everyone doesn't dare to offend you, so naturally they can only please you, lest they have no way to complain if they are beaten up by you. ”
Dou Hongying understated.
"If they don't come to mess with me, why should I beat them for no reason? ”
Zhou Xiaoyu didn't have a good airway.
"It's up to you to ask your friends from the same hometown. Dou Hongying gently hooked the corners of her mouth and said. "I've heard that when you were in your hometown, you were already 'famous', and you can be said to be invincible in the martial arts club, and you will be beaten up if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, so everyone will not dare to have any disrespect to you after knowing it. ”
"Listen to their nonsense! Is my Zhou Xiaoyu that kind of person?"
Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
"I'll admit that I've beaten a lot of people, but that's what they deserve, who let them speak ill of me behind their backs. ”
"But you can't solve the problem with your fists every time. ”
Dou Hongying said softly.
"Hmph! Uncle Ah Sheng once told me that when you can't solve a problem with reason, you can use physics to solve the problem. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu pouted.
"Physics?"
Dou Hongying frowned lightly and said.
"It's a fist!" Zhou Xiaoyu waved his little fist and said proudly. Uncle Ah Sheng also said that in this world, big fists are the last word. ”
"I see, that's ......" Dou Hongying seemed to inadvertently divert the topic. "Xiaoyu, speaking of which, you haven't seen your Uncle Ah Sheng for several days, don't you want him?"
"Of course I want to, but Uncle Ah Sheng told me to concentrate on practicing during this time and prepare for the upcoming assessment. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu said quietly.
"But if you don't see each other for a long time, aren't you worried about how your Uncle Ah Sheng is doing now?"
Dou Hongying said casually.
"Don't worry, because I know Uncle Ah Sheng will take care of himself. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu pretended to be confident.
“...... Xiaoyu, I'm going to apply to go to the city today, can you accompany me? On the way, you can also stop by to meet your Uncle Asheng, so that he can know your current situation. ”
Dou Hongying pursed her lips and said softly.
"Huh?!"
Zhou Xiaoyu was stunned.
"Xiaoyu, don't you want to?"
Dou Hongying suddenly shook Zhou Xiaoyu's hand earnestly.
"No, no, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say, in fact, it's nothing to accompany you, it's just that the day of the assessment is getting closer and closer, why do you still have the leisure to go out for a walk?"
Zhou Xiaoyu was in a hurry.
"Xiaoyu, I don't have the confidence to pass this Tianmen three tests like you, the closer the day of the assessment, the greater the pressure in my heart, so I thought about going out for a walk. ”
Dou Hongying sighed lightly.
"Besides, if Xiao Yu is willing to accompany me, Du Jiaoxi's side will not embarrass my request to leave the station. ”
"Okay, I see, then I'll go out with you this time. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu was reluctant to be embarrassed.
"Thank you Xiaoyu, I knew you were the best. ”
Dou Hongying suddenly smiled like a flower arrangement.
It didn't take long.
The two left the station hand in hand under Du Feng's gaze.
As soon as they left on the front foot, Du Feng reported the incident to Xia Fan on the back foot.
"Why didn't you refuse their application, don't you know that Lu Zixun has been staring at me recently?
Xia Fan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"I'm sorry! I'm going to chase them back. ”
Du Feng hurriedly said.
"Forget it, I'll go out in person, I want to see if this Lu Zixun really wants to tear his face. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand, got up and walked outside the house.
"You just stay here in case something happens. ”
"Obey the command. ”
Meanwhile.
Zhou Xiaoyu was absentmindedly following behind Dou Hongying.
In fact, she should have been able to refuse Dou Hongying's request, but she couldn't help but wonder what secrets Dou Hongying was hiding.
Wait for them all the way to Fubo City.
Soon.
Dou Hongying proposed to go their separate ways like last time.
She went to see her Uncle Asheng, and Dou Hongying went shopping alone, and at the same time agreed on a time to meet.
Zhou Xiaoyu immediately agreed.
It's just that after she pretended to leave, she immediately went around in a circle and tracked in the direction where Dou Hongying left.
Surprisingly, under her gaze.
Like an ordinary tourist, Dou Hongying wanders aimlessly through the bustling streets, occasionally buying and tasting exquisite snacks and snacks sold on the street.
"Could it be that I misunderstood Hongying?"
About half an hour later.
Zhou Xiaoyu fell into self-doubt.
She followed her all the way, and Dou Hongying didn't show anything suspicious.
On the contrary, she herself was followed by people without realizing it.
Yes.
From the moment she and Dou Hongying left the station.
Lu Zixun, who was in Fubo City, learned the news, and immediately he secretly sent people to monitor Zhou Xiaoyu.
In other words.
After Zhou Xiaoyu entered the city, people were targeted.
"Who are you?"
When she followed Dou Hongying through a street and alley, seeing Dou Hongying walking out of the alley, Zhou Xiaoyu was about to chase after her, but a tall figure with a mask on her face stopped in front of her.
Zhou Xiaoyu turned around vigilantly and left, but unexpectedly, a person who was also wearing a mask appeared behind him.
This made Zhou Xiaoyu instantly realize that something was wrong.
However, the two masked men didn't pay attention to Zhou Xiaoyu's question at all, and rushed directly towards Zhou Xiaoyu.
Zhou Xiaoyu rose from the ground without hesitation, and quickly climbed up to the edge of the wall with the help of the walls on both sides of the alley, shouting for help in his mouth, but there was no pause under his feet.
"They are Lu Zixun's people. ”
Another alleyway.
Dou Hongying looked expressionlessly at Zhou Xiaoyu, who was being chased in the distance, and a deep male voice suddenly sounded behind her.
“...... Go help her. ”
Dou Hongying was silent for a moment and said.
"Good!"
As soon as the words fell.
A black shadow flew out quietly from behind Dou Hongying.
Soon.
The black shadow returned to Dou Hongying's side.
"She's fine. ”
"Huh?"
Dou Hongying was stunned when she heard this.
"Her captor inexplicably fell into a dung pit and drowned. ”
The black shadow hesitated.
Fell into a manure pit and drowned?
Aren't you kidding me?
Dou Hongying's delicate and fair face couldn't help but stiffen.
"Anything else to discover?"
“...... I suspect someone may be protecting her in the shadows. ”
The dark shadow thought for a moment.
"Do you think it's going to be Zang Tao?"
Dou Hongying frowned and said.
"No, if Zang Tao made a move, I would definitely find something. ”
The black shadow said it well.
"In other words, there is someone else who secretly protects Zhou Xiaoyu?"
Dou Hongying fell into deep thought, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, there is another person, Zhou Xiaoyu's uncle. ”
“...... Her uncle? I'll look into it. ”
The dark shadow groaned.
"You should go back too. ”
"Good!"
After speaking.
Dou Hongying walked out of the alley casually, as if she had just started wandering the street to the meeting and the agreed place.
"Xiaoyu, the next time you go out, remember to say hello to your uncle in advance, do you know that your current situation is very dangerous? If your uncle hadn't come to save you in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
In an alley where no one is around.
Xia Fan unceremoniously counted Zhou Xiaoyu, who was hanging his head in front of him.
"Uncle, Xiaoyu knows it's wrong. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu trembled with palpitations.
"Forget it, Uncle Jin'er doesn't have time to worry about you dead girl, I'll go back to Uncle right away in a while!, got it?"
Xia Fan poked Zhou Xiaoyu's head with his finger, and he didn't have a good airway.
"Uncle?!Where are you going later?"
Zhou Xiaoyu subconsciously grabbed Xia Fan's clothes and said.
"Found an interesting person, I'll tell you when I get back. ”
Xia Fan rubbed Zhou Xiaoyu's hair and said.
"Now I'll get you out of the city safely. ”
Less.
After watching Zhou Xiaoyu and Dou Hongying meet and leave and disappear from his sight, Xia Fan's figure disappeared with him.
"What about people?"
After nightfall.
A dark shadow quietly appeared in the courtyard where Xia Fan was originally housed.
After a careful search, the other party found that there was not even a single figure in the entire house.
"Could it be that the information is wrong?"
Inside the courtyard.
The black shadow stood in front of a table and chair, stretched out his fingers to wipe the dust on the table, and picked up the teacup on the table to observe.
"No, it was once inhabited, but where did the people go?"
"Are you looking for me, young man?"
Just as the black shadow was silently thinking, a playful voice sounded strangely in his ears.
The black shadow was instantly shocked, and subconsciously turned his head to follow the prestige.
Outcome.
The dark shadow looked around, but saw that there was no one around the courtyard at all.
"Are you looking for me?"
Smack-
One hand.
Gently patted the shadow on the shoulder.
Suddenly.
The black shadow's eyes shrank, and the cold hair stood on end.
Because.
He was horrified.
His body was completely unresponsive and unable to move, and what was even more terrifying was that he couldn't even speak.
Followed by.
He found that Shi Shiran sat down on the chair next to the table, and then saw the other party lightly lift the armrest with his fingers.
Boom.
Boom...
Boom......
