readx;? The next day, when the sky was bright, Xiao Xiao took Chi Mo and Dabai out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info (800 provide txt free download)
In Lingyun Guan, in the room where Xiao Xiao went in to talk secretly last night, the black robe sat on a chair, and in front of him was a hexagonal prism, the smooth and flat mirror was divided into six small faces, and if you looked closely, you would find that the prism was actually made up of six prisms.
If Xiao Xiao is there, you will find that the six prisms reflect the six people who were talking in the house last night, but Xiao Xiao did not appear in the six prisms.
In the eyes of the black robe, Xiao Xiao was just a chess piece used to open the teleportation array, and he didn't even have a spiritual immortal cultivation, so he was not worth his vigilance at all.
After observing the six people in the mirror, the black robe waved his hand, and the mirror returned to its original state, and the six prisms became a complete large prism.
Xiao Xiaololi, who is not worth watching, is taking Chi Mo and Dabai to the Xiao family in Pingyang County at the moment, and she has even thought of an excuse to investigate, saving her life is more than heaven, and it is not a new thing to repay her kindness, what a good excuse.
The base camp of the Xiao family's side branch in Pingyang County is not in the city, like other families, they all build a village in the outer enclosure of Pingyang County, and those who remain in the city are some people who take care of business, and the real lineage is still protected and cultivated in the clan.
After finding the Xiao family in the city, Xiao Xiao was not in a hurry to step forward and knock on the door, but took Chi Mo to hide in the alley, and turned out a bunch of clothes from the storage bag that looked a lot higher-grade, but low-key, and dressed himself and Chi Mo anew, even wearing jewelry with self-defense functions on his hands and neck, and the hairpin with coiled hair was also a defensive magic weapon.
With such a dress, Xiao Xiao, who was originally very likable when she looked at her, became even more likable, because there were too many things worth spirit stones on her body, who didn't like it!
And the milk baby Chi Mo looks more like a son of a family, wearing a defensive magic weapon, full of dazzling colors, and the treasure is shining.
Da Bai refused to show weakness on the side, not only showed off his collar and wrist ring, but also picked a red belt in a bunch of magic weapons and wrapped it around his round belly, and turned out a pair of dark gold small bells that I didn't know where to hang on the tail.
After dressing up, the two of them and one beast went to the Xiao family in the city to find someone in high spirits.
The door of the Xiao family was open, and there were four guards standing outside the door, cultivating to be between the ninth-level wandering immortals, Xiao Xiao was about to step forward to ask the guards, but unfortunately a thin old man who looked like a steward came out of it, and Xiao Xiao immediately targeted the old man.
As soon as the old man came out of the gate, he threw out a skinny wild cat with a flick of his hand, and before a few guards could speak, they saw the old man kick on one of the guards standing aside, and reprimanded loudly: "How to watch the door, cheer me up, the city has been in turmoil recently, don't put those cats and dogs in it." ”
The wild cat was knocked firmly, let out a roar, got up from the ground and limped away, and the kicked guard was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and was kicked by the old man and turned over two heels in a row, and when he hit the pillar, Xiao Xiao heard a few crisp clicks from his body, and the young man didn't get up for a long time.
Xiao Xiao understood that the young man was only the cultivation of the early stage of the ninth level of the immortal, but the old man was the cultivation of the middle stage of the first-level spirit immortal, and that kick was still a real first-level spirit immortal with all his strength, and he couldn't even resist a little, and the young man was directly kicked and broke several ribs.
"It's really arrogant, it's really not human to be so ruthless to the children of your own side branches. The big white master flicked his tail, made a jingle sound, shook his head and sighed to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao looked at the scene in front of her silently, and said sarcastically: "Xiao family, what else can't be done!"
Da Bai snorted and sneered: "I'm starting to look forward to what kind of style the Zhongzhou branch is." ”
"You won't be disappointed. Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, the Xiao family in Zhongzhou, what you owe will have to be repaid sooner or later!
Leaving aside those old things, Xiao Xiao saw that the old man in charge had finished kicking the young man, so he asked another guard to help the young man away.
Da Bai squinted, jumped off Xiao Xiao's shoulder, flicked the bell on his tail and sniffed in front of the young man who had broken several ribs, it seemed to be full of curiosity, the young man's pale face still had a little fear on it, and he didn't even react to Da Bai who came over.
After seeing the young man walk away crookedly, Da Bai jumped back to Xiao Xiao's shoulder and scratched his face with his paws, indicating that he had made a mark.
"This steward, may I ask Uncle Xiao Mingyuan Xiao is in the mansion?" Seeing that the matter at the door was over, the old man was about to turn around and go back, Xiao Xiao hurriedly saluted the steward, and asked very politely.
The steward turned his head, looked Xiao Xiao who looked like a girl from the family up and down, and then glanced at the son-in-law brother Chi Mo next to Xiao Xiao a few times, and then looked at Da Bai, who was lying on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, fully armed to show off his wealth, and a glimmer of light flashed in the old man's eyes.
"The magic weapon armor on this girl alone is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and the magic weapon on the milk baby is more, not to mention 50,000 spirit stones, and that pet, not to mention that it is so fat, and it is also wearing a magic weapon that can be used for demon cultivation, no matter how these two people and one beast look like a big family, I just don't know what they came to Xiao Mingyuan for!" The steward quickly calculated in his heart how many spirit stones Xiao Xiao's magic weapon was worth, and wondered what they were doing when they came to Xiao Mingyuan, but he didn't show the surprise in his heart at all, Xiao Mingyuan's waste had already been expelled from the family, and when did he catch the line of the two sisters and brothers of the family in front of him?!
"Mingyuan took over the task of the clan and escorted the children of the clan to practice, I don't know if the two of you came to Mingyuan for something important?"
Chi Mo frowned, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, let's come all the way to find Uncle Mingyuan, Uncle Mingyuan actually went out, what can I do!"
"What's this, we can wait for Uncle Mingyuan to come back. Xiao Xiao rubbed Chi Mo's head and turned to the steward.
"Thank you for telling the steward, our sister and brother are not looking for Uncle Mingyuan and there is nothing important, my father and Uncle Mingyuan are close friends, this time Pingyang County held a large-scale auction, our sister and brother came to play, by the way, come to see the little aunt, I heard that the aunt's body has not been as good as a year in the past two years, and the mother is very worried, and she ordered the little nephew to bring some pills over. ”
The words were not leaky, not only explaining his relationship with Xiao Mingyuan to the other party, but also secretly pointing out that his family and Xiao Mingyuan were not ordinary friends, and he could let his children bring pills to visit, and his own identity was not ordinary.
After listening to Xiao Xiao's words, the steward's eyes flashed several times, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After speaking, Xiao Xiao took Chi Mo's hand and turned around and left, with no intention of staying.
"Two distinguished guests, although Mingyuan is not in the clan, the two of them can live in my Xiao family first, or Mingyuan will come back in a few days. The steward hurriedly followed Xiao Xiao, and when he spoke, he brought a little flattery.
Xiao Xiao waved her hand, very polite but with an unfamiliar tone: "Don't bother to take care of things, our sister and brother just arrived in Pingyang County today, let's go shopping in the city first, and wait for Uncle Mingyuan to come back in a few days, and then visit the door and bother." ”
I was going to go into Xiao's house to investigate, but I just saw the scene of the housekeeper injuring the children of the side branch at the door of Xiao's house, Xiao Xiao didn't have the meaning of talking to the other party, although she had done enough work on the surface, but the disgust in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
The old man in charge knew that what he had just done fell into the eyes of the other party, and he wanted to defend himself a few words, but when he saw that the other party had no intention of talking to him more, he gave up, "Please also ask your guests to leave their names and settle down, and when Mingyuan comes back, we can let Mingyuan go to meet him." ”
"Our sister and brother are just juniors, how can we let Uncle Mingyuan pick it up and let my father know that he won't break our legs. Xiao Xiao said with a smile, and her eyes were a little colder.
The side branch is really not on the stage, he is just pretending to be a child of a family, just so flattering, and treating his side branch so cold-blooded and ruthless, such a family can survive until now, heh!
After leaving Xiao's house in Pingyang County, Xiao Xiao walked with Chi Mo in a crooked manner, and after making sure that he got rid of the person who was following him, he went into the alley again, put away all the magic weapons and armor on his body, and after changing back to his original costume, Da Bai led the way, and followed the scent that Da Bai left on the young man.
The young man who was kicked and broke a few ribs by the old man in charge was helped out of the city by the guard, Xiao Xiao thought that the guard was going to send the young man to the hospital, but he went out of the city directly.
Da Bai followed the smell and hurried all the way, and saw the two men five miles away from the city.
The guard helped the young man to stop and go, and the two walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at a residential place, Xiao Xiao fixed his eyes and saw that a stone tablet was erected on the fork in the road in the distance, and the stone tablet was engraved with the three big characters of "Xiaojiabao".
The pattern of Xiaojiabao is very different from those of Zhoujiazhai in Nanmang Yejiabao, Yejiabao Zhoujiazhai is a large area of land circled in the outermost, and then built a city defense set on it, the city defense is the residence of the main family and the side branches, and although Xiaojiabao is called Xiaojiabao, it is built from house to house like a village, and it is the same as a retail dwelling, only in the innermost and middle position, you can see a tall and majestic city wall, as well as a sentry tower and various defense facilities.
"This Xiao family's style of acting is really consistent and selfish, put all the side branches outside the city defense, but the main family lives inside the city defense, once someone attacks in, the side branch outside will become the best meat shield of the main family. ”
Da Bai snorted coldly, and said in one sentence, this branch is doing this, it is obvious that it is using side support to protect the main family.
Xiao Xiao shrugged her shoulders and sneered: "Yes, this is probably a tradition inherited from Zhongzhou, after all, it is a big family, and there will be more deaths." ”
"It's all done so explicitly, how can this family still last for so many years?" Da Bai asked a little strangely, it stands to reason that a family that clearly reveals that side branches and vassals are just tools, how can they still live well in Middle-earth?!
"You'll know why when you've touched it. Xiao Xiao didn't want to say too much, so she changed the subject, "They entered the room, let's follow." ”
Stealth, quietly touched into the village-like dwellings, and before long, Xiao Xiao found the young man's house where his ribs were kicked and broken.
The boy's mother was still at home, and the emaciated woman took the boy and thanked the guard, who hurried away without saying anything.
After the boy's mother helped the boy to the bed and lay down, she sat aside and secretly wiped her tears, and the boy turned his head to his mother with difficulty and said, "Mother, don't worry, my injury will heal in a few days." ”
"Good boy, bear with me, my mother will go to your Uncle Mingyuan to ask for herbs. The boy's mother whispered.
Uncle Mingyuan?! Xiao Xiao heard it clearly, and saw that the young man's family and Xiao Mingyuan should be familiar with each other, and he thought that he should be able to find out the news he wanted from the other party's mouth.
Xiao Xiao sorted out her thoughts outside, and then knocked on the wooden door.
The wooden door creaked open, and out came a middle-aged woman with mostly gray hair and a withered face.
"Hello auntie, I'm here to see my little brother. Xiao Xiao smiled and explained the intention.
"Are you?" the woman looked suspicious, she had never seen the girl in front of her, but the clean and bright smile of the other party made her feel a little familiar.
"That's the case, my father and Uncle Mingyuan are brothers who worship the son, our sister and brother came to Pingyang County to play this time, by the way, I came to Uncle Mingyuan, my father asked me to ask Uncle Mingyuan if something happened in the past few years, why didn't you contact our family, just now when I went to Xiao's house, I saw that the little brother was injured by the steward, so I hurriedly followed. ”
Xiao Xiao didn't hide it, and directly explained the intention, and even explained that he was here to find Xiao Mingyuan, and he wanted to know if something happened to him.
Hearing Xiao Xiao say this, the surprise on the woman's face retreated, and seeing that there was no one around, she hurriedly introduced Xiao Xiao and Chi Mo into the house.
