Looking at this confused old man, Xiao Tong couldn't help but laugh, it seems that it is really like what the veteran said, what kind of Zen Moon Gate is really just a fictitious existence, in fact, it is a branch of the Ghost Valley in the mortal world.

However, Xiao Tong has been admiring the ghost valley in the mouth of this old man Xu for a long time, even in the memory of his previous life, he can often see the shadow of the so-called ghost valley people in history.

In this other world, from the memories of my predecessor, I have also read many legends about the Ghost Valley, but I didn't expect that today, I would actually have a little relationship with this mysterious sect, which made Xiao Tong's heart full of expectations.

If this is a mystery through the ages, then he is getting closer and closer to this mysterious sect, although in the future, the old national teacher is also confused, but Xiao Tong has a hunch that this is definitely an immortal encounter of his own.

The two of them were in the private hall, talking about the past and the present, and they sat for half a day, until more than an hour later, when they were interrupted by the arrival of the eighth prince.

After Xu Guogong's soldiers came in to start the ceremony, Xiao Tong didn't bother to wash up, and hurriedly greeted the old Guogong out, but today's Xu Guogong's face obviously lost yesterday's humility, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this eighth prince.

Xiao Tong smiled bitterly, and it was inconvenient to say it clearly, after inviting the two into the seat, he was about to confess his guilt first and clean his face, but was stopped by the eighth prince.

"Little brother don't worry, Xiao Wang is just saying goodbye to you, now that Yanxun Mountain is over, I will also turn back to Jinghua to hand over the decree, Lingtang and his family, Xiao Wang will be properly settled, although the little brother is relieved is ....... ”

"In addition, I am outside, and I have prepared a swift lightning flying armor for the little brother, so that the little brother can return to the door, and the little king of Keri will come to visit again!"

Yuan Shen smiled on his face, showing that he was as kind as the wind, and after speaking, he saw Xu Guogong snorting coldly on the side.

"Eighth Prince, I will pass it on to the audience that you have captured the little general's family, why is it in the prince's mouth, but it has become an invitation? ”

"Where did the old Guogong say come from, Xiao Wang invited the little brother's family to go to Jinghua as a guest, but where was the arrest and arrest, Guogong must not follow the ordinary sergeant, chasing the wind and catching shadows, lest there be any jokes and ...... in the government and the opposition. ”

Seeing that Xu Guogong was dissatisfied, he went straight between his words, not giving him a trace of face as a prince, but Yuan Shenzhi looked calm, just said it lightly, although there was a little bit of explanation, but more of a warning.

"That's it, the eighth prince just spoke like this, and the old minister had nothing to say, but above the court, the old man would also ask for credit for the little general, break into the mountain gate alone, first break the great array of the protector, and then sword the giant Kou Xu Ying, such a merit, such a meritorious man, if the eighth prince embarrasses his family again, the old man will not agree to ...... first. ”

Although Xu Guogong is nearly seventy, he is still hot-tempered, with a flipped temperament, and a gray beard, as if one by one is standing upside down, and the momentum is terrifying.

In the stunned gaze of the two, the old man looked fierce, and he actually brushed his sleeves away, which couldn't help but make the two of them smile bitterly.

"It seems that the old man also admires you very much, little brother, Xiao Wang's teacher is not good, so he met this stubborn old man, it seems that there will inevitably be a few more twists and turns in the future...... ”

Although Yuan Shenzhi seemed to have a casual face, Xiao Tong was like a mirror in his heart, he had been checking his face for the past two days, and after a long conversation with the two, he could already guess that this Duke Xu Guogong was obviously not a faction with the Eighth Prince.

"Hey, the prince saw it well, he stabbed Xu Ying in the next hand, but it turned out that he also removed a piece of heart disease for the old general, and he had some connections with the old general's division, so the old general naturally fell in love with the old general!"

"Okay, good! Although the old man is rude and straightforward, he often makes mistakes, but if he uses it properly, he can just cover one or two for Xiao Wang, which is the so-called, harmful and beneficial, and the little brother can rest assured that it is ....... ”

Xiao Tong didn't want to clarify his relationship with Xu Guogong with the Eighth Prince, but after thinking about it, these Eight Princes were in charge of the whole country, and this matter would inevitably be hidden from the other party.

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with the overall situation, even if he knows, there is no future trouble, so he simply says the truth, that is, he has won the trust of the other party, and also makes the other party a little jealous in his heart.

And the words of the eighth prince are also a flat talk when they hear it, but the last sentence also points out the key points, and without revealing it, it calms Xiao Tong's mind, and the two of them are afraid of a little scheming, so naturally they don't need to say anything.

The mechanical vehicles and the brigade outside were ready to go, the Eighth Prince only explained a few words of gossip to Xiao Tong, and then left, Xiao Tong hurriedly washed, and also went out to take the flying armor sent by the Eighth Prince, and returned directly to the deserted village of Xiaye, thousands of miles away.

Although in order not to be too public, the flying armor stopped far away outside the village, but the momentum that fell from the sky still attracted many villagers to look at each other from afar, and they exchanged heads and ears.

Xiao Tong had already changed into the clothes given by the Eighth Prince, but he was wearing a pale yellow brocade robe, wearing it on his body, although he was much more stylish, he was still not very comfortable, and after sending away the flying armor, he walked towards Tong's house.

Along the way, although Xiao Tong walked like a dragon and a tiger, and quickly left these villagers, he still heard their whispers in his divine sense.

"Isn't this the nephew of the Tong family......? ”

"Yes, you see that he came back alone, or was sent back by this big bird, did he really betray his mother......? ”

"Oh my God! the world is getting more and more chaotic, it's not as affordable as raising a dog, raising a son to bite ...... himself. ”

Xiao Tong's heart sank, it seemed that the situation was even more serious than he imagined, Xiao Junru was hiding in the dark, like a vicious poisonous snake, calculating himself at any time, only one day later, he actually released the news.

However, Xiao Tong naturally will not be embarrassed by these villagers, and he is also ready to meet these gossips, which is all expected for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it is worse.

However, this also made Xiao Tong feel a sense of urgency, and he heard his mother say that his father had been unable to contact him in the past two days, and the other party might have already done it!

These things, in his conversation with the Eighth Prince, have been preliminarily verified.

However, the current situation is confusing, and his predecessor's "father", before he died, pushed his brother Xiao Huaiyan to the forefront.

But it also created countless fake "heirloom jade seals", and the rumors were released everywhere, as if the gods were mysterious and secret, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, which also protected Xiao Huaiyan at the same time, before the real jade seal appeared, he should not be in danger of his life.

However, this state will not last long, and there is not much time for Xiao Tong now, he needs to cooperate with the Eighth Emperor to find the true jade seal as soon as possible, so that he can hope to save his father-in-law's life.

Although Xiao Tong entrusted his mother, Qianyun and Aunt Ying to the Eighth Prince at the moment, his heart was not much low, but this was also an expedient measure, under Xiao Junru's frenzy, he did not dare to let these relatives risk staying by his side.

But in this way, he invisibly handed over his mother to the two camps, and of course Xiao Tong would not be naïve to really think that the eighth prince was helping him unconditionally.

If Xiao Junru and the three ministers are wolves, then the eighth prince should actually be a tiger, and if he wants to drive the wolf to meet the tiger, or drive the tiger to meet the wolf, it is undoubtedly very dangerous.

Of course, there is also the jade talisman that his father-in-law sent to him, regardless of whether Xiao Huaiyan is used or not, but there is no doubt that this jade talisman has now become a contentious thing between the two sides, which makes Xiao Tong dare not send it out easily, otherwise this balance will be broken.

The sad thing is that Xiao Tong suddenly felt that he was the only one in this world, dealing with this tiger and wolf, just like Xiao Huaiyan, the father-in-law of the age, who had a clear life, but fell into the fate of being lonely all his life and being a pawn.

Strength, or strength, in this competition, only strength is the most important thing, and only strength can maintain this balance and even break the deadlock.

However, Xiao Tong believes that after he "pulls the tiger skin and pulls the banner", revealing the scale and half of the strength of the master, he is more sure to maintain this balance for the time being, but maybe he is the only one who knows, in fact, the master, and even the senior brothers, no one will help him.

Because this itself is a tempering for himself by Shizun, if he can't solve it himself, maybe he doesn't need to say that Xiao Tong himself has no shame to face Shizun and all the brothers and sisters, this feeling overrides everything, so that he has never had a trace of dependence.

But after all, Xiao Tong's body is only a sixteen-year-old child, and in this whirlpool with his father-in-law, he is even more lonely, like a lone wolf in a quagmire, isolated and helpless.

In the middle of his mind, Xiao Tong had already arrived in front of the Tong family's mansion, and when he saw his figure from a distance, the guard at the door hurriedly ran in, obviously reporting the news.

Xiao Tong didn't have time to pay attention to them, and after entering the mansion gate, he went straight to the west courtyard.

"Young Master Xiao....... ”

As soon as he walked to the door, he happened to meet Chang Wang and Xihui who were carrying luggage and were about to go out, and the two couldn't help but be happy when they saw Xiao Tong come back suddenly, but then they both lowered their heads and looked weird.

"Where are you going?"

"Young Master...... We...... We....... ”

Hearing Xiao Tong frowning and asking, Chang Wang was spitting for a while, but Xihui on the side couldn't help it, so his eyes turned red first.

"Young Master, yesterday afternoon, Steward Tong came to say that you ...... Said that you 'sold your mother for glory', you don't want us anymore, let us leave here today, and the Tong family won't hire us anymore, young master...... When we leave here, we don't really know where we're going....... ”

"Go back to the back room and talk....... ”

Xiao Tong was still as calm as usual, without a trace of anger, and after finishing speaking, he walked straight into the inner room, Chang Wang and Xi Hui glanced at each other, nodded and followed with a decisive face.

As soon as she entered the back room, Xihui hurriedly went to make tea and pour water for Xiao Tong, but was stopped by Xiao Tong.

"Don't be busy, you two listen to me, now Madam and Miss Qianyun can't come back for the time being, even if you two stay here, you will be idle, with me, it is better to leave ...... at all." ”

Chang Wang and Xihui heard this, and they were still a little happy and stepped down in an instant, but they didn't expect the young master to call them in, and in the end let them leave, but after watching Xiao Tong take out three silver tickets from the cross bag, they couldn't help but make the two of them stunned together.

"You two take this bit of silver, and open a small shop wherever you want, it's better than staying here and waiting for others, and you have to look at their eyebrows and eyes, so put it away and leave!"
