Chapter 770

Li Yong didn't understand, the Pingxi Hou Mansion should be the most dangerous place now, why did he deliberately go to the Pingxi Hou Mansion?

However, he believed in Xiao Zhan's decision, and without any hesitation, he followed Xiao Zhan towards the direction of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion and swept out quickly.

I don't know how long it took, but after crossing a mountain range, a flat land with a radius of dozens of miles appeared in front of me.

Within a few hundred miles around the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, you can still see the homeless settlements, but here, except for the government soldiers everywhere, you can't see half of the homeless people.

As soon as Xiao Zhan and Li Yong appeared, they were discovered by the soldiers of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.

Hundreds of government soldiers directly surrounded Xiao Zhan and Li Yong.

At this time, the two had already taken off their armor and put on tattered clothes, typical of homeless people.

Seeing that these government soldiers wanted to do it directly, Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:

"I'm from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, I want to see the Marquis of Pingxi, and I have something important to report in person!"

Hearing this, a slightly older soldier frowned and asked:

"The people of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, why did they appear on our Pingxi Marquis's territory?"

"What can you tell me?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I saw that someone robbed the Nether Pill that the palace sent to escort."

Hearing this, the slightly older government soldier hurriedly waved his hand, and the other government soldiers retreated one after another.

"Come with me."

The soldier frowned and looked at Xiao Zhan and Li Yong, "You'd better be honest."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, and took Li Yong to follow behind this palace soldier and walked towards the Pingxi Hou Mansion.

Two hours later, the tall Pingxi Marquis Mansion appeared in sight.

The soldier entered the Hou Mansion to report, and after a short time, he saw a young man in a black brocade robe walking to the door of the Hou Mansion.

This young man is handsome, but his eyes are cold, and when he looks at Xiao Zhan and Li Yong, there is a touch of natural arrogance in his eyes.

He asked coldly:

"Are you from the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion? Did you really see the person who snatched the Nether Pill?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, "I see."

The young man's eyes lit up, "What does the person who snatched the Nether Pill look like?"

Xiao Zhan said slowly, "It's a young man, carrying a big box, and there is a mark of the palace on the box, I can see it clearly."

The young man's eyes narrowed, and murderous intent burst into his eyes, "Then did you see where the person who snatched the Nether Pill fled?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "The other party can snatch the Netherworld Pill from the people of the Wangfu Army, I don't dare to follow it, I can only report it as soon as possible."

The young man asked:

"Are you sure it's a young man? Not an old man?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, the young man in front of him seemed to know something.

The young man pondered for a moment and said:

"Come in with me."

After speaking, the young man took Xiao Zhan and Li Yong into the Hou Mansion, and soon came to a secluded courtyard.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a dark red brocade robe was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

In the middle of the courtyard, a beast taller than a human and more than five meters long was swooping down on a man covered in blood, and bit the man's body with one bite, and blood splattered out instantly.

Next to the middle-aged man, there was another young man, also dressed in a black brocade robe, with a luxurious appearance.

The young man who brought Xiao Zhan and Li Yong over walked in front of the middle-aged man at this time and arched his hand:

"Father-in-law, these two said they saw the thief who snatched the Nether Pill."

The middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhan.

He is the Marquis of Pingxi, although he is middle-aged, he is still handsome, and his eyes are deep and sharp, as if he can see through people's hearts.

Just at a glance, Xiao Zhan knew that this Pingxi Marquis was definitely not weaker than the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

"I've seen you, when the army of King Yin's city was in the big competition."

"At that time, the prince praised you for being a general."

"How did you get into this rags?"

Xiao Zhan hugged his fists:

"Xiao Zhan has seen Master Hou."

Pingxi Hou nodded, "So your name is Xiao Zhan."

He smiled and asked, "How is the Marquis of Zhenyuan doing, the Marquis of Mighty Wu has lost his position, have you made trouble for the Marquis of Zhenyuan?"

Xiao Zhan said truthfully:

"On the way back to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion from Yin Wang City, the Mighty Marquis tried to kill me, but was killed by the Zhenyuan Marquis on the spot."

Pingxi Hou was slightly stunned, but then laughed again:

"Duan Hong is this character, and it is normal to kill the mighty Marquis."

"It's just that I didn't expect Duan Hong to even lie to me, and said that he himself is in the middle stage of the Nether Sea Realm, I'm afraid he has already entered the late stage of the Nether Sea Realm."

Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's true."

Pingxi Hou asked again:

"Did the Marquis of Zhenyuan ask you to come to me?"

After a few short conversations, Xiao Zhan had already seen that the relationship between the Marquis of Pingxi and the Marquis of Zhenyuan seemed to be not bad.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan sighed:

"Master Hou doesn't know, our town is far away, and it's gone."

Pingxi Hou frowned, "It's gone, what do you mean?"

"It's just gone, I don't know where I went," Xiao Zhan said truthfully, "Master Hou left a letter, let us decide to stay for ourselves."

"I also remembered what Hou Ye said before, he has a good relationship with you and the Marquis of Pingxi, so I came to the Marquis of Pingxi Mansion to see if our Marquis of Zhenyuan is here."

Pingxi Hou didn't speak, but frowned, and said after a long time:

"Duan Hong, that guy is still so unpredictable."

"You don't have to look for him, with his strength, nothing will happen, and since you want to leave, you can't find it."

Pingxi Hou glanced at the tattered clothes on Xiao Zhan's body, "It's hard for you, and I still want to find him, I want to suffer a lot on the way."

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said:

"On the way here, I saw a young man fleeing with a wooden box."

"I think, that should be the person who snatched the Netherworld Pill from the soldiers of the royal palace, but my strength is low, so I dare not follow it."

Pingxi Hou shook his head, "The soldiers of the Royal Mansion have already arrived in my mansion, and they say that it was a hundred people who pretended to be the soldiers of my Hou Mansion who took over the box of Netherworld Pills, and the leader was an old man."

Xiao Zhan frowned, "I don't know about this, I only saw a young man carrying a box containing the Nether Pill and quickly escaping between the mountains."

Pingxi Hou frowned, glanced at the young man who brought Xiao Zhan and Li Yong in, and said:

"Zhuang Qiang, you go get busy first."

Zhuang Qiang nodded, "Yes, father-in-law."

Zhuang Qiang quickly walked out of the Hou Mansion.

Not long after, in a stone house, the old man who was attacked by Xiao Zhan appeared in front of Zhuang Qiang.

Zhuang Qiang's eyes were cold, "According to what you said, after that box of Netherworld Pill was obtained, a young man sneaked up on you and then lured you away, and when you go back, that box of Netherworld Pill will be gone, right?"

The old man nodded, "That's right."

Zhuang Qiang sighed, "It seems that Xiao Zhan from the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion didn't lie."

"It's as if it never happened."

"But you must be careful, if the person who snatched the Nether Pill is caught, you must find a way to kill him, and you must not let him tell you about seeing you, otherwise you and I will both die!"

The old man nodded, "Don't worry, young marquis, I will definitely pay attention!"

"It's just...... Young Marquis, those twenty palace soldiers have seen me, and if I meet them, I will be recognized immediately."

Zhuang Qiang's eyes were cold, "I'll find a way to kill them."

Inside the Hou Mansion.

Pingxi Hou looked at Xiao Zhan solemnly and said:

"The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is too far from here, right

The Marquis of Zhengzhen has also left, so you might as well stay in my Pingxi Marquis Mansion."

"Since you know that I have a good relationship with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, if you stay with me, I won't treat you badly."

"You are a talent, when your strength becomes stronger, I can arrange for you to serve as the deputy commander in the government army, and it will not be a problem to be the orthodox commander in the future."

Xiao Zhan hugged his fists:

"Thank you, Master Hou."

Pingxi Hou solemnly looked at the young man standing beside him and said:

"Yunfei, go and call Steward Wu over."

Zhuang Yunfei nodded, "Father, I'll go find Steward Wu."

After a while, Zhuang Yunfei walked into the courtyard with an old man.

This old man is none other than the old man who had a secret conversation with Zhuang Qiang just now.

He is the housekeeper of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, named Wu Yong, although his strength is only in the early stage of the Youhu Realm, he can act steadily, and when the Pingxi Hou was not the Hou Ye, he had already followed the Pingxi Hou and won the trust of the Pingxi Hou.

It's just that the moment Wu Yong saw Xiao Zhan, a flash of anger and horror flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up well.

He came to the solemn front of Pingxi Hou, bowed and said:

"Master Hou, what do you command?"

solemnly pointed at Xiao Zhan, "This is Xiao Zhan, the commander of the army of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, for some reason, he will stay in the Pingxi Marquis Mansion in the future."

"You first arrange for Xiao Zhan and them to live in the Hou Mansion, find a house, find a few sets of clean clothes, and after a while, I will arrange for him to serve in the Fu Army."

Xiao Zhan also seemed to see Wu Yong for the first time at this time, and smiled and hugged Wu Yong:

"Steward Wu, I'm tired."

Wu Yong smiled and waved his hand, "Young Master Xiao is young and promising, please come with me."
