When the three brothers met, they naturally had to talk about it, although Xia Qingyang is now famous all over the world, and he is far behind the two of them in the realm, but the brotherhood has not been reduced, but has become more and more solid due to various changes.

Tie Niu's body was already strong, and now he has recovered well, and his realm has also reached the middle stage of the elite soul master, obviously he has gained a lot of benefits from Lan Haoyun.

Xia Qingyang originally planned to leave early in the morning, but because of the arrival of Tie Niu and Doudou, he deliberately postponed it for a day.

At noon, Ning Changhe and Lan Shicheng came together again, with a very apologetic face, and when they entered the door, they hugged their fists at Xia Qingyang and said: "Brother Xia, I'm sorry, I just got the news today, it turns out that Phoenix has suffered a lot in the academy, but we didn't notice it at all." ”

Lan Fenghuang took the lead and smiled: "It's all in the past, and it's actually nothing." ”

Xia Qingyang saw that the two of them were sincere, and said, "That's it, even if I know about this matter, I guess I can't do anything." ”

The two of them became more and more ashamed when they heard this, but they didn't say anything more, the matter has come to this point, chagrin and self-blame are useless, and no matter how much they say, it will not help.

At noon, the big guys had a meal together, and Bai Zhanxiong and his wife also rushed over, and under Yue Yuqin's Zhang Luo, they made up a happy wine for Xia Qingyang and Lan Fenghuang.

The beauty is on the side, and the brothers and friends are also gathered around, Xia Qingyang felt a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking about how much a year ago, he fled from Xiajia Town in a panic like a lost dog, and he was alone, how could he have thought of today's scene.

Although he still has to face many mysterious and powerful enemies, he has also made many friends and even has his own sect and organization.

At the dinner table, in addition to talking about friendship, it is natural to talk about the current situation, everyone almost unanimously believes that there will be a battle between the human race and the beast race in the near future, Ning Changhe, Tie Niu and others said that they will definitely go to the front line to join the battle at that time.

Lan Shicheng has been tracking down that mysterious force with Lan Haoyun all these years, so his mind is more about this aspect, and he even speculates that this war may also be a conspiracy of the other party.

Xia Qingyang did not express his opinion, but only instructed Yan Ruyu to take the opportunity to extend the intelligence network to the beast clan.

Yan Ruyu also talked about some difficulties in the expansion of the intelligence network, the most important being that the number of blue-winged flies and red-capped psychic finches has not kept up with the pace of development, and the manpower also needs to be equipped with it.

The blue-winged flies and psychic finches are easy to say, Xia Qingyang only needs to choose another day to break into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, as for the manpower, Lan Shicheng and Ning Changhe both said that they can help, and they are both experienced people who can use it.

But Xia Qingyang didn't agree, he had his own plans, but he still needed to discuss with Yue Huaigu, besides, this kind of thing can't be rushed, it is easy to make mistakes if the development is too fast.

Of course, the three have also set up a news channel for communicating with each other.

The meal was not dispersed until the evening, and Ning Changhe left Zhongzhou City to return to his family after saying goodbye, and Lan Shicheng also returned to Lanzhou.

In the inner room, Xiao Doudou was sleeping soundly on the bed, and Xia Qingyang and Lan Fenghuang were gossiping on the side.

After a while, Xiao Doudou began to talk in his sleep, Xia Qingyang didn't care about it at first, but gradually Xiao Doudou's emotions became excited, and there was infinite fear in his voice.

Xia Qingyang frowned and came to the bedside, and listened attentively for a moment, because Doudou's speech was not clear, and it was intermittent and unsentenced, but he only vaguely heard a few words clearly.

One of the words "wolf" is particularly clear.

"Wolf ???" Xia Qingyang's eyes showed a cold light, the matter of Houjiazhai is basically certain that the beast clan made a move, but there are thousands of clans in the beast clan, if there is no conclusive evidence, it is really difficult to trace.

This wolf word is likely to play a vital role, it seems that this time back to Xiajia Town, it is necessary to go to Houjiazhai again.

Early the next morning, Xia Qingyang and Lan Fenghuang passed through the teleportation array of Zhongzhou City and went directly to the Lanzhou boundary, Tie Niu and Xiao Doudou were left in the pill shop, and there should be no problem with the secret care of the Xiangtai Kuixiang and the academy.

The road was uneventful, but on the road outside a small village not far from Xiajia Town, Xia Qingyang suddenly hesitated.

Lan Fenghuang saw that there were all kinds of simple shops on the side of the road, and his mind turned to understand the reason why Xia Qingyang stopped, and said with a smile: "Qingyang is looking for memories from his childhood?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Qingyang shook his head slowly, frowned, and said: "Before the turmoil in the dark forest, I used to be here, and I stayed in a tea shop, and the boss was a good person, but now it is gone. ”

"Oh, just ask. Lan Fenghuang walked to a stall on the side of the road and asked, "Uncle, isn't there a tea shop here?"

When the old man heard this, he sighed: "You said Lao Xie, alas, don't mention it, my heart is panicked." ”

Xia Qingyang's heart tightened, knowing that his premonition was likely to come true, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Uncle, tell me clearly, what's wrong with them?"

The old man turned his head to look around, and stopped talking.

Xia Qingyang took out a few gold coins and said, "Uncle, it's okay for you to say it, I won't say it." ”

"Alas, it's all because of a mouth, I said he should take care of his mouth, but he is stubborn, alas-" The old man sighed, but he didn't want to get to the point.

Xia Qingyang knew his scruples, so he said: "Uncle, you just need to tell me where they are now, this can always be said." ”

The old man sighed: "Where else can I go, at home, I can't get out of bed, where else can I go?" I said you, don't ??? either."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Qingyang and Lan Fenghuang had already left in a hurry, and the direction was the village where he was.

"Well, it's useless for you to go. The old man sighed.

"Lao Liu, who are those two young people? Why did they go to our village?" Many people around saw this scene and gathered to inquire.

"I don't know either, I came to inquire about Lao Xie's family, I guess it's relatives or something. The old man guessed.

Someone questioned: "You can pull it down, just like the bear, can you have such a relative? You see that girl looks like a fairy." ”

"It's not like that, if you want to say that Lao Xie's family has such relatives, I don't believe it. Someone chimed in.

"Hey, did you notice that the young man's eyebrows were familiar?"

"Don't tell me, I feel like I've seen it. ”

"No, it won't be the boss of the Xia family, right?"

"It's impossible, isn't it? But it's hard to say, didn't you say you came back some time ago to make a fuss?"

"It's really possible, no, we have to go over and have a look. ”

A group of people stopped doing business, and rushed to the village one after another.

Xia Qingyang and Lan Fenghuang are fast-paced, and they have arrived outside the courtyard of Lao Xie's house at this time, and Houjiazhai is generally a small village on the side of the mountain, but the conditions of this village are obviously higher, Lao Xie and his wife are bold, and their business is also booming, so the courtyard is also the most magnificent.

However, what is extremely incommensurate with the magnificent courtyard is that the courtyard is full of weeds, and the stone steps in front of the door are full of leaves, and it is obvious that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

"Who?" heard the footsteps of the two, and the voice of a woman came from the room, still loud but hoarse.

Without hearing a response, the woman rushed out directly, holding a rolling pin in her hand, and shouted: "It's not enough to kill people, you want to force people to death, old lady, I will ??? Who are you looking for?"

"Is this Lao Xie's family?" Xia Qingyang asked, in fact, he had already recognized this as the proprietress of the tea shop.

"Yes, are you?, why do I think you're so familiar?" the proprietress said suspiciously.

"My surname is Xia. Xia Qingyang walked to the door, found that the proprietress was still blocking the door, and said with a smile: "I'll go in and see Lao Xie." ”

"No, it's not convenient for him to see guests now, so you can come back another day. "The hostess was very vigilant.

When Xia Qingyang was hesitating to identify himself, Lao Xie's voice came out: "Call them in." ”

The proprietress flashed to the side suspiciously and let the two in.

Lao Xie was lying on the bed, almost naked, and when he saw Lan Fenghuang coming in, he hurriedly pulled a thin futon beside him to cover it, Xia Qingyang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and motioned for Lan Fenghuang to stay in the living room.

"Young Master Xia?" Lao Xie smiled reluctantly and said tentatively.

Xia Qingyang nodded, looked at his twisted legs, and said in a deep voice, "They did it?"

Lao Xie smiled bitterly a few times and did not respond.

At this time, the proprietress seemed to react, and said in surprise: "You are Xia Qingyang?"

Lao Xie frowned and said, "Xia Gongzi's name is also what you call casually." ”

The proprietress said angrily: "At this time, you can still take care of this, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have made this appearance." ”

"You know a fart! What does this have to do with Xia Gongzi, is this a human being?? Ahem, you don't understand it. Lao Xie coughed anxiously, and the proprietress rolled her eyes and went over to massage his chest.

Xia Qingyang groaned: "Have you heard that Xia Qingjian is back? It's my third brother." ”

Lao Xie shook his head slowly, but the proprietress said: "He is lying at home all day, where to go, I heard that your brother came back a few days ago, but I haven't seen any movement recently." ”

Xia Qingyang said in his heart: This is not right, it stands to reason that since he is back, it is very easy to support him to the position with the strength of the Qianyang Sect, but now it seems that it is obviously not successful.

"I'll treat you first. "Anyway, I can return to Xiajia Town soon, and I don't have to bother guessing.

"How dare you bother???"

"Oops??? It's so lively today, let me see where the distinguished guests are coming?"

Lao Xie and his wife's faces changed greatly when they heard this, but Xia Qingyang was expressionless, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, he took out a bottle of elixir, and said, "Leave them alone, I'll treat your injuries first." As he spoke, he began to move.

Lan Fenghuang stopped the proprietress who was about to rush out and walked out of the house.
