Sunset West Mountain.

Ma Kuo and his entourage found nothing as expected by the Wang family.

Ma Kuo suddenly realized that today was a confusing day, and it seemed that he was in a hurry, but he had not gained anything. Unconsciously, it's like leaving your business behind and going on an outing. It was true that the forest was much more comfortable than the tent, and when he came back he leaned on the carriage and could not stop sleepy.

Ma Taxue and Ma Qing in the back rarely saw a resting and leisurely Ma Kuo. In their impression, Ma Kuo only has two states, one is to kneel neatly in front of the case to deal with the official documents, and the other is to meticulously pull the bow and shoot arrows in the martial arts arena. A windmill or even a stone is more lively than him. After becoming the town guard, he did everything in detail and did it himself. In less than a month, the bureaucracy was rectified, the laws were enforced, and the agricultural affairs were coordinated, and despite some obstacles, Qingjiang was indeed up and running more efficiently. It's just that he cares less about the affairs of his clan. White Horse besieged the city, Ma Qing was exhausted repeatedly, and he recuperated for more than three days, and Ma Kuo never even came back. Ma Kuo couldn't resist the tiredness and fell asleep in the carriage. Ma Taxue quietly gestured to the coachman, and the carriage changed its course and went straight back to Mafu.

Another person is also confused, that is, Xiao Wei.

He stood in the street. Bai Bei'er was not there, and he didn't know what the point of going back to the Li Mansion was. After thinking about it, I finally came all the way to Mr.'s cabin. When he pushed open the door, he wished to see his husband lying in a rocking chair reading a book, and Bai Bottler working in the kitchen, everything was still like a mid-autumn day, but now things are different and no one can see anyone.

Li Wei usually helps Bai Bei'er, so it is difficult for him to get some food in the kitchen, he ordered a bowl of noodles, moved a small bench and was alone in the courtyard, he sat directly opposite the courtyard gate, bowed his head and sucked the noodles, there was only this sound in the courtyard.

A strong sense of loss and confusion suddenly haunted Li Wei's heart, and he didn't even know where he belonged. He never seemed to belong to the Li Mansion; Ma Qing regarded him as a younger brother, but he couldn't become a friend, and he didn't seem to belong to the Ma family; Bai Yougui would definitely take care of him, but not because of himself, but because of Mr.; Mr., Mr. gave him an extremely stable sense of security and belonging, but now there is no news.

He sat directly across from the courtyard gate, bowing his head and sucking on the noodles, and there was only one sound in the courtyard.

Suddenly, the courtyard door opened.

The man who came in was of medium height, dressed in short clothes, with bare arms with knotted muscles, and his facial features were unusual, except for a pair of phoenix eyes, which were thin and long, but he seemed to be in poor condition, his head was wrapped in thick gauze, his left arm seemed to be broken, and he was wrapped in a wooden plank and bandaged, hanging from his neck—it was Li Wuxiong who pushed the door, and how he found it here.

Xiao Wei really couldn't guess Li Wuxiong's intention.

After Li Wuxiong pushed the door open, he didn't step into the courtyard and stood at the door. He beckoned to Xiao Wei, who put down the noodles in his hand and hurried to meet him. When he arrived, he took advantage of the situation: the young master.

Li Wuxiong squatted down, level with Xiao Wei. He said, "Your mother asked me to give you this." As he spoke, he handed the little only piece of cloth, and a few beautiful and clean small characters on it were indeed the handwriting of the white bottle: Wei Qi, do not mistake the scientific examination, and the mother is fine.

Xiao Wei didn't know whether to be happy or sad, he put away the note and asked: When will my mother come back?

Li Wuxiong rubbed Xiao Wei's head and said: Your mother will stay for a while, but don't worry, I won't let her have anything to do.

Xiao Wei said: Why did the young head of the family get injured like this?

Li Wuxiong said: I am not injured. By the way, within ten days, I will definitely arrange for Bottle to meet with you, and then I will know that I am not lying to you.

Xiao Wei said: Of course, the young head of the family will not deceive people.

Li Wuxiong left in a hurry after a few words.

Although Li Wuxiong looked covered in bruises, his body was as fast as black lightning, and he went around the route and went around to the Fengchang Mansion in the south of the city. He knocked three times sharply at the back door, and then three times slowly, when someone answered the door, not the fat white man who was bulging, but a thin old man. This old man's surname is Li Mingge Che, and he has been the master of Fengchang Mansion for 20 years. Li Geche rarely has contact with the old people on weekdays, but he seems to be a lonely widow with no relatives and no reason. In the past 20 years, there are few people who know his surname Li in Fengchang Mansion, and they all shout "Che Lao" or "Master Book" from afar. After Bai Yougui took power, the Fengchang Mansion moved out of the inner city and moved to the empty south of the city, so the space was ample and built very large, and the old man was placed in a corner, and it was more than enough for a few people to settle the Li Mansion. Moreover, Bai Yougui has never had a deep relationship with the surnames in the city, and Li Geshu suddenly disappeared, and no one would suspect that there would be any trickery in the Fengchang Mansion.

The old man opened the door and hurriedly invited Li Wuxiong in. Inside, there is a row of low bungalows, with only one door on each side, like a coffin.

The old man lowered his voice and said: Why did the young master Takeo go for so long, the head of the family has asked a few times.

Li Wuxiong said: How do you answer?

Elder Tho said: Tell the truth.

Li Wuxiong strode into the bungalow, and after passing through two dark rooms, he entered a simple and bright hall. Li Geshu sat on the main seat, with one hand on the platform beside him. The black box was placed on the table.

Li Geshu's hair was gray and messy, his clothes were wrinkled, and there were faint traces of blood, obviously he hadn't changed it for many days. He closed his eyes and seemed to have been waiting for Li Wuxiong. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he did not open his eyes, but only distinguished people by the sound of his feet, and asked, "Have you found that room?"

Li Wuxiong replied: Yes. But there is a ban on it. I don't dare trespass.

Li Geshu said: Is there anyone in the house?

Li Wuxiong said: No one is seen roughly.

Li Geshu said: It seems that the bottle is not lying, there is indeed a master who came to Qingjiang and taught Li Wei the art of looking at qi. The cry that scared away the White Horse Demon Clan seemed to be only related to him.

Li Wuxiong said: In this case, that person is just a little life-saving secret technique left for their mother and son when they left, so let Bai Bei'er let it go.

Li Geshu said: Che Lao and Song Qing have been thoroughly investigating the life experience of the bottle in the past few days, and they already have a clue. This is the letter sent by Qing today, you can also take a look. It has been found out that the bottle is just an adopted abandoned baby, not the biological flesh and blood of the surname Bai. Now it is not ruled out that she is a "wild do" and must be taken care of.

Li Wuxiong took the letter, glanced at it, noticed another thing, and said: As expected, the ring to promote the general defending the city went on as scheduled. Hmph, on the tenth day of October, is Ma Kuo so anxious to see us?

Li Geshu said: There is no one in the younger generation who can compete with my grandson, and now, I forgive Ma Kuo and he may not be my grandson's triad.

When Li Geshu said this, his brows were raised high, revealing a sense of pride. But as soon as the body stretched slightly, he couldn't stop coughing violently. Li Wuxiong stepped forward and gently stroked his back. Brother Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiong'er, don't blame grandpa for being ruthless. I'm really old now, and you're the only one who bears this responsibility.

Li Wuxiong's voice was very rich: Grandpa, don't worry, I can stand it.

Li Geshu slowly and solemnly opened the black box in front of him, which was empty, and said: In the past few decades, I have been unable to sleep at night, so I am worried that the things in this box are gone. Now that the descendants of the Li family have finally surrendered to it, I can let go with peace of mind.

Li Wuxiong was silent.

At this time, Che Lao said: The head of the family, Bai Yougui has been assigning me errands for the past few days, so that I can't get out of it. I think he may have become suspicious of me.

Li Geshu chuckled a few times and said: Old man, you are too underestimated and expensive. This person is obscure, forbearant and sleek, and does not leave any shortcomings for others. I think he already knew we were here. He tells you just to make a show and tell us that he knows everything, and that he doesn't help anyone.

Che Lao said: But after all, he accepted Ma Qing as a disciple, and he is Li Wei's senior brother, and he can't get out of his wife's affairs.

Although the elders are older, they still call Bai Bei'er Mrs. Li Geshu shook his head, and seemed to be quite puzzled by this matter, indeed according to Bai Yougui's temperament, he really shouldn't accept this apprentice.

Li Geshu sighed: Bai Yougui and that master are just accidental passers-by, and we will be fine if we avoid them.
