Chapter 771

Not long after, Wu Yong took Xiao Zhan to a secluded courtyard.

The yard is not large, with a wall seven or eight meters high, a small garden, plus two small rooms.

Wu Yong glanced at the entrance of the courtyard and saw that no one was passing by, so he glanced at Xiao Zhan coldly.

"Boy, you are very bold, you dare to come to the Pingxi Marquis Mansion."

Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly:

"No matter how bold I am, I don't have the courage of Steward Wu."

"A housekeeper actually dares to take someone to rob the Netherworld Pill escorted by the royal army."

"Master Hou also said just now that the twenty soldiers of the Hou Mansion are also in the Hou Mansion at this time, but I don't know what kind of expressions those twenty soldiers will have when they see Steward Wu."

Wu Yong sneered, "Give me back the Nether Pill you stolen, otherwise I guarantee that you won't live long."

Xiao Zhan smiled calmly, "Steward Wu said with a smile, I don't understand what you're talking about, what Nether Pill?"

Wu Yong didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Zhan coldly.

He knew that Xiao Zhan would definitely not hand over the Nether Pill.

But he won't give up easily, and said in a deep voice:

"Xiao Zhan, let me tell you, there are other people behind me, if you don't want to die, you'd better think clearly."

"Now you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and if I am found out, I will definitely give you out!"

"But if you take the initiative to hand over the Nether Pill, I can recommend you to the people behind me, and we will be a family in the future."

Xiao Zhan shook his head slowly, "Steward Wu should go and go about his own business."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan walked directly into the room behind him.

Li Yong also glanced at Wu Yong expressionlessly, and then walked into the room next to him.

Seeing that the doors of the two rooms were closed, Wu Yong's face became more and more gloomy, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Soon, Wu Yong found Zhuang Qiang.

Zhuang Qiang was dispatching troops at this time to search for all the displaced people within the territory of Pingxi Hou.

Seeing that Wu Yong's expression was wrong, he took Wu Yong to the side, lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on again, I said, I will find a way to solve the twenty palace soldiers."

Wu Yong exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Young Marquis, that Xiao Zhan is the one who sneaked up on me and snatched the Netherworld Pill!"

Zhuang Qiang was stunned, and his gaze immediately became extremely cold.

He sneered, "yes, that's good."

"It's the guts to act in front of me."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, don't do anything recently, just keep an eye on Zhuang Yunfei's movements for me, that Xiao Zhan, I will find a way to solve it."

After speaking, Zhuang Qiang directly led people away.

At the same time, Pingxi Hou Fuzhong.

Zhuang Yunfei came to the courtyard where Xiao Zhan and Li Yong temporarily lived.

He stood in the courtyard and waited for several hours, waiting for the energy fluctuations in Xiao Zhan's room to stop before he spoke:

"Xiao Zhan, do you have time to talk?"

Xiao Zhan opened the door and walked out, and when he saw that it was Zhuang Yunfei who came to find him, he couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Young Marquis has something to do with me?"

Zhuang Yunfei smiled and nodded, "Last time the government army was in the big competition, although I didn't go to that Yin Wang City together, I also heard my father talk about you."

"My father said, 'You were born to be a general.'"

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan has disappeared, you will stay in our Pingxi Marquis Mansion in the future, and we will have to deal with each other."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, not knowing what Zhuang Yunfei wanted to say.

I saw Zhuang Yunfei take off the bag on his waist and throw it to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan took it and took a look, and saw that there were hundreds of Netherworld Pills inside.

"What does this mean, Young Marquis?"

Zhuang Yunfei smiled and shook his head, "It's not interesting, just make a friend."

"Father said, when you are stronger, Hoi An

Arrange for you to serve in the government army."

"And the commander of our Pingxi Marquis Mansion is very close to my righteous brother."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that my righteous brother Zhuang Qiang is now the deputy commander of the government army."

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, "What does the young marquis mean, is it for me to be your eyeliner?"

Zhuang Qiang shook his head, "Since my father said that you can be qualified as the commander of the government army in the future, I naturally believe it."

"We'll go back and forth more in the future."

After speaking, Zhuang Qiang waved his hand at Xiao Zhan, and then turned around and left the courtyard.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the bag containing a hundred Netherworld Pills in his hand, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to enter the house to continue practicing, another figure walked into the courtyard.

It was none other than Zhuang Qiang's brother-in-law, Zhuang Qiang, the solemn son of Pingxi Hou!

Zhuang Qiang smiled, walked up to Xiao Zhan, and said with a smile:

"Yunfei came looking for you just now, didn't he?"

Xiao Zhan nodded.

Zhuang Qiang continued to laugh and said:

"Yun Fei has a very good understanding, and he has perfectly inherited my stepfather's talent in cultivation, and he may have the strength of a feudal marquis in the future."

Xiao Zhan smiled and didn't answer.

Zhuang Qiang also took off the brocade bag on his waist and threw it to Xiao Zhandao:

"There are a hundred Nether Pills in here, let's make friends."

Xiao Zhan caught the bag and said with a smile:

"Then thank you young marquis."

Zhuang Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "Yun Fei is the young marquis, don't call me wrong in the future, lest people with a heart think that I and Yun Fei are at odds."

As he spoke, Zhuang Qiang suddenly asked:

"I am now the deputy commander of the Hou Mansion Army, and my father-in-law asked me to cooperate with the commander of the Government Army to clear out the displaced people and investigate the robbery of the Nether Pill." "Xiao Zhan, I want to talk to you again and see if I can analyze any clues."

Xiao Zhan nodded, "If the deputy commander wants to ask anything, just ask directly."

Zhuang Qiang smiled, "Xiao Zhan, according to what you said, it was a very powerful young man who snatched the Netherworld Pill, which is completely different from what the twenty palace soldiers said."

"The twenty government soldiers said that the person who snatched the Netherworld Pill was wearing the armor of our Pingxi Marquis Mansion soldiers, and the leader was still an old man."

"Stepfather said that Xiao Zhan performed well in the government army competition, so now you can help me analyze it, what is going on?"

Zhuang Qiang smiled and looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes, waiting for Xiao Zhan's answer.

Xiao Zhan replied calmly:

"Naturally, the soldiers of the palace will not lie."

"It can be seen that there are two groups of people involved in the battle for the Nether Pill."

"The first group is the old man, but after the old man snatched the Netherworld Pill from the soldiers of the palace, he was snatched away by the second group, that is, the young man I saw."

Zhuang Qiang nodded, "I think so too."

"Let's not talk about the second group first, let's talk about the first group first."

"The first group of people wore the armor of our Pingxi Hou Mansion's government soldiers, and also carried the swords of our Hou Mansion soldiers."

"It's not something that ordinary people can get."

"It can be seen that the first group of people must have something to do with the government soldiers of our Pingxi Hou Mansion, maybe the person behind the scenes is someone from the government soldiers."

"I've already tried the commander of the army, and he doesn't know about it."

"I also tested Steward Wu, during the time of the incident, he had been in the Hou Mansion, which was testified by the Hou Mansion."

"The clue seems to be broken here."

Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly:

"Since Childe is the deputy commander of the government soldiers, it is naturally not difficult to investigate the situation of the government soldiers."

Zhuang Qiang nodded, "I have already found the traitor in the government soldiers, and the second group is already on the way back."

Xiao Zhan chuckled, "Now that Childe has found out the truth, what are you looking for?"

Zhuang Qiang smiled.

"My father-in-law said that when you become stronger, he will arrange for you to serve in the government army, and most of them will be under me at that time."

"I came to you to talk to you first, after all, I also admire you."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak.

Zhuang Qiang didn't seem to have any intention of chatting any further.

He turned and walked away.

Xiao Zhan frowned, he still hasn't seen Zhuang Qiang's personality clearly, but Xiao Zhan doesn't like Zhuang Qiang for no reason.

He felt that Zhuang Qiang's gaze was too ruthless, and although it was well hidden, Xiao Zhan could still see it.

It is said that each other is born from the heart, Xiao Zhan thinks that he has read countless people, and he should not be blind.

After Zhuang Qiang left, Xiao Zhan entered the room again to retreat.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Zhan suddenly heard a noise in the Hou Mansion.

But he wasn't interested.

After a while, Steward Wu came to the courtyard and stood outside Xiao Zhan's room and shouted:

"Xiao Zhan, you come out, Hou Ye summons you."

The energy fluctuations in the room stopped, Xiao Zhan immediately walked out of the room, and saw that there were still faint energy fluctuations in Li Yong's room, so he followed Wu Yong directly.

After a short time, Xiao Zhan followed Wu Yong to the solemn courtyard of Pingxi Hou.
