"Hey, it's out."

With Zhu Lie's soft call, Qiu Ying came back to her senses, poked her head out of the corner of the wall and looked at the back door of the Hou Mansion, and subconsciously grabbed the oiled paper bag containing dried apricots with her hands.

Qiu Ying raised her little head, stared at Zhu Lie with round eyes, and glared at Zhu Lie viciously.

The tall, muscular Zhu Lie knew that there were a pair of eyes staring at him, but he didn't know it, frowned and looked in the direction of the door, and from time to time he pouted and nodded, indicating that he was staring seriously without distraction.

"Where's my dried apricot?"

Zhu Lie blinked Bakazlan's eyes, looked down at Xiao Douding, reached out to rub his chin, and looked at the empty oil-paper bag by the way, pretending to be surprised: "Huh? What about dried apricots? ”

After speaking, Zhu Lie turned his head and pointed to the little minions of the Imperial City Division in the distance: "Fix this group of thieves, even steal dried apricots, shameless-"

Qiu Ying clenched her fists, stretched out her index finger, and pointed at Zhu Lie tremblingly.

Zhu Lie hurriedly waved his hand, looking like he was wronged: "Big, eldest sister, what are you pointing at me?" Will I steal your dried apricots? ”

Qiu Ying snorted lightly and pointed at the corner of Zhu Lie's mouth.

Zhu Lie casually pulled with his hand, and some pale yellow debris fell from his mouth.

"What is this?" Qiu Ying asked in a stern tone.

"Probably...... Ah, what are you doing, how are you changing clothes? Zhu Lie hurriedly pointed to Xu Zhou in the distance and said in surprise.

I saw the back door of the Hou Mansion, and a few small men with quick hands and feet came out, changing Xu Zhou into clean clothes, and it seemed that they wanted to invite him into the mansion.

I have to say that the rules of the Hou Mansion are big, and those who are not neatly dressed cannot enter the mansion yet.

"What should I do?" Zhu Lie looked at Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying balled the empty oil-paper bag into a ball and threw it at Zhu Lie's front door, but Zhu Lie didn't hide, giggling.

Just now, Zhu Lie tasted a piece of dried apricots and felt that it was inexplicably delicious, so when Qiu Ying was thinking about things, he tossed back and forth, and the dried apricots disappeared somehow.

"Eldest sister, hurry up and find a way, the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion has blacklisted us as guests, and we knocked on the main door for a long time, but no one opened the door, which means that they are determined not to see us...... I didn't expect Yunyang Hou to see this little jailer, so we had to find a way to follow in. Zhu Lie said urgently.

There is a time limit for handling cases, and within a month, it is necessary to catch the playboy to keep up with the errand.

Now, according to the clue of Hua Hancao, the spearhead is all pointed at the Yunyang Hou Mansion.

But the first step is to enter the house.

"Shut up, I'm trying to figure it out." Qiu Ying frowned, thinking hard.

Zhu Lie looked at the direction of the courtyard gate, Xu Zhou had already changed his clothes, and a little servant was tying his hair, and he was about to enter the mansion.

It's too late!

Zhu Lie took a deep breath, his eyes skimmed to Qiu Ying, who was half a person tall beside him, and suddenly had a plan.

I'm sorry, boss!

You sacrifice it.

……

"Oops."

With a little girl's coquettish shout, Qiu Ying flew out from the corner of the wall and was pouted by Zhu Lie.

The little girl fell to the ground, exposed to everyone.

Qiu Ying didn't expect Zhu Lie to be a ......

Before she could get up from the ground, grab Zhu Lie and beat her up, there was already a small servant at the door who stepped forward to check the situation, and even walked towards this side with Xu Zhou and the porter.

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Zhu Lie shook his fist at Qiu Ying, and then ran away with a smoke.

"Whose little girl is this?" The little guy kindly picked up Qiu Ying, who fell to the ground, and turned his head to look around.

Qiu Ying patted the ash on her skirt and rubbed her snow-white forearm, looking aggrieved.

Although it is a second-grade realm, her strength is strong, but she can't stand the black hands of the closest people around her, and Qiu Ying's strength is not a physical reaction, and she was pushed up for a while, which is common sense.

Qiu Ying is now just a nine-year-old girl.

She is not tall, her body is snow-white and pink, and she looks harmless to humans and animals.

In addition, the last time she came, Qiu Ying was mixed in the crowd of the Imperial City Division, and the servants of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion didn't notice that this girl was the leading figure at all, so it was common sense not to recognize Qiu Ying's identity for a while.

"Hey, it's you." Xu Zhou saw the little girl in a black skirt clearly, and said in surprise for a while.

Isn't this the last time I saw it, the daughter of the Imperial City Division's big man's family?

Qiu Ying smiled embarrassedly, took half a step forward, grabbed the corner of Xu Zhou's clothes with her little hand, and raised her round face: "Big brother, I can't find a home~ Woo woo." ”

Vomit~

Qiu Ying was disgusted by herself.

The little guy took a look, looked at Xu Zhou and asked, "You know each other?" ”

Xu Zhou nodded, and then shook his head again: "I don't know each other, but I've only met once." ”

The old man in the porter put aside the little girl, leaned down, and said gently, "Little girl, where is your home?" I'll send you home. ”

Qiu Ying hid behind Xu Zhou and leaned out half of her face: "I don't want it, I want this big brother to send me home." ”

The porter looked at Xu Zhou, and Xu Zhou looked at Qiu Ying, embarrassed for a moment.

Xu Zhou wanted to enter the mansion to meet the Hou Ye immediately, and the time could not be delayed, and the matter of sending the little girl home could only be leaned back.

"That's it, the old man will help me watch her first, I'll go into the house to meet the Hou Ye, finish the business, and then send her home." Xu Zhou looked at the porter and suggested.

The porter nodded, but when Qiu Ying heard that she wanted to stay with this obscene old man in the porter, she was instantly unhappy, stretched out two little arms to hug Xu Zhou's waist, and said pitifully: "Big brother, I don't want to, I want to stay with you." ”

The porter smacked his lips, looked at the valuable little skirt on Qiu Ying's body, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you two go in together, don't let Hou Ye wait." ”

It is not without precedent to let a little girl from a noble background enter the house.

In the mansions of the major lords in the inner city, it is common for the young ladies to miss the hour when they are out and don't remember to go home. The mansions will also keep an eye on the young ladies playing on the street, and if the children have not returned home after dark, the mansion will send someone to take the children back to the mansion and serve them with good food and drink. Soon, there will be families on the street who are looking for people, going door to door.

Favors are also done at this time.

Xu Zhou took Qiu Ying's little hand, and under the leadership of the gatehouse, he bypassed the nine-song eighteen-corridor in the Hou Mansion and finally arrived at the place.

This is a small yard, there are two large water tanks symmetrically placed in the yard, the red carp of unknown varieties are raised in the tank, there is a pink lotus floating on it, several rows of weapon racks are displayed on both sides of the yard, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, eighteen kinds of weapons are available, it can be seen that the Hou Ye is a person who likes to dance with guns and sticks.

"Please." The porter stood at the foot of the steps, stretched out one arm, and made a gesture of invitation. Xu Zhou immediately raised his feet and walked up the steps, ready to meet Hou Ye, but the porter stopped the little girl at the bottom of the steps and did not allow her to enter.

Qiu Ying didn't make a fuss, she didn't say that she had to follow up and take a look.

With her ability, the movement in the house is clear even if she stands outside the house.

"I'm waiting here for my brother."

Qiu Ying carried out the role of a lost little girl and watched Xu Zhou enter.
