On this day, it is the fifteenth day of August once a year, on the night of the full moon, the upper and lower houses of Xu are immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere. Several tables have already been set up in the courtyard, and the tables are filled with delicious food and wine, and the aroma is mouth-watering. Everyone in the house sat down one after another, raised their glasses and drank together, and laughter and laughter came and went.

Ruoshui stood aside, she couldn't drink tonight because she was unwell, and her face was a little apologetic. However, her gaze always stayed on Taihao's body, and her eyes flashed with complicated emotions. From time to time, she persuaded Taihao to drink, and her voice was soft and firm, as if there was a kind of magic that Taihao couldn't refuse.

Taihao was originally a bold person, and he drank too much on weekdays, but tonight for some reason, he gradually got drunk under the persuasion of Ruoshui. His face flushed, his eyes began to blur, and finally he could not hold it anymore and was carried into the bedroom by the family.

Seeing this, although Xu Yu was a little worried in her heart, she was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, she raised her glass to greet everyone, and then went to bed early because she was drunk.

Ruoshui at this moment, standing in the moonlight, showed an inexplicable smile on her face. She looked at Taihao's room, her eyes shining with determination and expectation. She knew that tonight would be the time for him to act.

In the middle of the night, the silver moonlight poured into the mansion like flowing water. Ruoshui quietly walked out of the room, her steps light and firm, like a cheetah ready to hunt. Her gaze shimmered sharply in the moonlight, as if she had locked on to her target.

She came to the bottom of an old tree in the courtyard, where there was a dense shade that was large enough to hide her figure. She waited quietly, an inexplicable excitement and nervousness surging in her heart.

Soon, two figures pierced the night sky like meteors and landed lightly beside her. They were dressed in tight-fitting nightcoats and wore black masks on their faces, making them unrecognizable even in the bright moonlight.

In the deep night, Ruoshui stood quietly under the moonlight, facing the two chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes - Baxia and Kiss. They took off their masks, revealing their resolute and cold countenances, as if two bolts of lightning pierced the night sky, inspiring awe.

Baxia asked in a deep voice, "Is Taihao already drunk?" ”

Ruoshui nodded, her voice like a whisper in the night wind, with a hint of imperceptible firmness: "He has long been drunk and unconscious, and he is lying in the house at the moment, immersed in dreams. ”

With a gleam in his eyes, he asked, "Are you sure he's still in the house and hasn't left?" ”

Ruoshui nodded affirmatively again, and her tone revealed an unmistakable determination: "There is no mistake, he is still in the house." ”

Seeing this, Ba Xia didn't say anything more, he stood up, and a fierce aura emanated from his body: "Okay, then let's go and bring him out." ”

Under the guidance of Ruoshui, Baxia and Kiss quietly came to Taihao's bedroom. They gently pushed the door open, only to see that Taihao was already drunk on the bed, breathing heavily, as if he had fallen into an endless deep sleep.

They lifted Tai Hao quickly and lightly, as if lifting a fluttering feather. Their movements are skilful and fluid, as if they have been rehearsed countless times. Soon, Taihao was taken by them to the original tree.

The moonlight fell on Taihao's face, reflecting his pale and haggard countenance. Baxia and Kiss glanced at each other, and a complicated light flashed in their eyes. They know that what follows will determine the success or failure of their operation.

Baxia reached out and broke Taihao's mouth, and Kiss took out a black pill from his arms and carefully put it into Taihao's mouth. Then, he took out another pot of water and asked Tai Hao to swallow the pill.

After the pill was down, Tai Hao's eyes began to become misty. Baxia turned his head to Ruoshui and said, "You asked him where the secret book is?" ”

Ruoshui nodded slowly, she leaned close to Tai Hao's ear, and asked softly: "Tai Hao, where are you hiding the secret book of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill"? ”

Under the effect of the pill, Taihao seemed to fall into a state of half-dreaming and half-awakening. He replied vaguely, "Behind the plaque ......"

Baxia frowned and asked, "Have you checked the back of the plaque?" ”

Before Ruoshui could answer, Taihao muttered to himself: "No, ...... under the tombstone"

When he heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Sixth brother, is this guy playing with us?" ”

The overlord shook his head, and his eyes revealed a deep wisdom: "No, he got more than just a secret book. ”

With Taihao's drunken words, the doubts in the hearts of the tyrant and the kiss became heavier and heavier. They know that this battle for cheats is far more complicated than they imagined.

Ba Xia frowned, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and asked Ruoshui: "Behind the plaque in Xu Mansion, have you really looked for it?" ”

Ruoshui nodded, with a hint of helplessness on his face: "I did look for it, I have carefully checked every corner, but I haven't found anything abnormal." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Baxia's eyes, he knew how careful Ruoshui was in doing things, but why did he still get nothing? He pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so he continued to ask, "What about under the tombstone?" Is it possible that the cheats are hidden there? ”

When Ruoshui heard this, his face showed a trace of confusion: "Tombstone? There are no tombstones in Xu's house. There are only mansions and courtyards here, where do the tombstones come from? ”

At that moment, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps. The housekeeper of Xu Mansion came over with a lantern, with a little vigilance and doubt on his face, and he shouted loudly: "Who is there?" ”

The overlord and the mantis glanced at each other, secretly vigilant in their hearts. Their trip was extremely secretive, and if they were discovered by the people of Xufu, I am afraid that there would be extraneous complications. So, Baxia quickly made a decision, glanced at Ruoshui, and motioned for her to leave first.

If the water understands, it immediately turns around and disappears into the night. And Baxia and Kiss quickly hid their shapes and hid in the shadows. They knew that the next move would be trickier and that care would have to be taken to ensure the success of the plan.

The butler carried a lantern and walked slowly in the hazy night, his eyes alert and sharp, as if ready to deal with any unexpected situation. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a figure lying on the ground, it was Taihao.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran over, only to see Taihao's face pale and drunk, obviously drunk. He was shocked in his heart and shouted, "Taihao Hero, why are you sleeping here?" How much alcohol did you drink? ”

The butler crouched down and gently shook Taihao, trying to wake him up. But Taihao seemed to be drunk and unconscious, and there was no response. The housekeeper had no choice but to carry Taihao on his back and carefully send him back to the bedroom.

At this moment, the figures of Baxia and Kiss quietly appeared in the dark. When they saw the housekeeper send Taihao back to the bedroom, they secretly rejoiced in their hearts, knowing that leaving at this time was the best choice. So they leapt and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, the sun poured into the bedroom through the window, and Taihao slowly opened his eyes. He felt weak, and his head ached as if he had been hit with a hammer. He tried hard to get up, but found that his body seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds of weight, and he couldn't move.

His mouth was dry and thirsty, as if he could light a flame. He struggled to reach out to find some water to quench his thirst. Luckily, there happened to be a bucket of water next to the bed. He pulled the bucket to his side with great effort, and drank it in large gulps. The cool water flowed down his throat, instantly quenching the hunger and thirst in his mouth.

Taihao sat up slowly, and the tiredness in his body gradually dissipated, replaced by a strong doubt. He frowned, thinking carefully about the events of last night, but his heart was at a loss. I have never been drunk with a thousand glasses, why did I not wake up last night?

Just as he was deep in thought, Xu Yuan walked in lightly, with a concerned look on her face, and asked softly, "Lang Jun, have you woken up." Did you sleepwalk last night? The housekeeper found you under a tree in the courtyard, lying there motionless, which frightened us. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he was even more surprised in his heart. He shook his head, trying to remember the previous night, only to find that he had almost no impression. He frowned and said suspiciously, "How is this possible? Never have I ever sleepwalked. If that's the case, I'll at least have some impressions. But last night I ......."

He paused suddenly, and a vague fragment flashed through his mind. He seemed to remember that he had eaten a pill in a dream, and it was so bitter that it was almost unbearable for him. But he swallowed it anyway, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The butler hurriedly came to Tai Hao's door, he bowed slightly, and respectfully reported to Tai Hao: "Tai Hao Hero, there is an official who claims to be the city lord of Wurong City outside the door to visit. ”

Tai Hao frowned slightly, and whispered to himself: "The new city lord of Wurong City? What did he come to me for? Is there something important to discuss? Then he looked up and said to the butler, "I see, go and tell him, and I will be there later, and I will meet him myself." ”

The housekeeper was about to turn around and leave, but Taihao suddenly stopped him again, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Butler, I heard that you found me lying under a tree in the courtyard last night?" ”

The housekeeper thought about it for a moment and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Taihao Daxia." After the third watch last night, I vaguely heard some movement in the courtyard, so I carried a lantern to the courtyard to check. Sure enough, I found you lying under a tree, sleeping soundly, presumably you drank too much. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of doubts in his heart. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever noticed anyone else there besides me?" ”

The housekeeper carefully recalled the scene at that time, then shook his head and said, "I haven't found anyone else, Taihao Hero." At that time it was only you who lay there, and ...... You were still talking in your dreams. ”

"Dream talk?" Tai Hao was surprised, "What did I say at the time?" ”

The butler hesitated for a moment, as if recalling the scene, and then said with some uncertainty: "You seem to be saying...... Plaques, tombstones, beams, etc...... I didn't hear it very clearly, but I heard the words vaguely. ”

After listening to the housekeeper's words, Taihao couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. These places were the places where he hid the secret books of the several volumes of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" that he had obtained, and he had never revealed them to anyone. Why do you say these words in your dreams? Could it be that someone is secretly doing something to him?

In Taihao's heart, the feeling of uneasiness was like an undercurrent, but he knew that this was not the time to think deeply. He gathered his thoughts, suppressed his doubts for a while, and got up and walked out the door.

Outside the door, in the sunlight, a young man with a lofty spirit was waiting quietly. Tai Hao stepped forward and arched his hand: "The city lord of Wurong City is here, and if you miss the welcome, please also invite the city lord Haihan." ”

The city lord Wu Lu smiled slightly, and said: "Taihao Daxia is polite, this official has taken the liberty to visit, and I hope that the hero will not be surprised." ”

After a few words of greeting, Tai Hao took Wu Lu into the front hall. The layout of the hall is simple and elegant, the tea fragrance is curling, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Wu Han took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Taihao Hero, this official has arrived in Wurong City three months ago. When I set out from Thousand Winds City, my father repeatedly told me to come and meet Taihao. However, due to the many affairs in the city, it has not been possible. Now I have free time, and I came to visit the hero. ”

Tai Hao's heart moved, and he asked, "I don't know who the city lord's father is?" ”

Wu Lu said: "Oh, Taihao may not know me, but I have seen the demeanor of the hero." His father's name was Wuxiong, and he was a general in the court. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, his mind quickly searched for memories of the Wuxiong. However, the name is like a stone in the sea, and there is not the slightest clue. He couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said: "It turned out to be the Wuxiong General of Thousand Winds City, who admired the name for a long time, but he was only on the side of fate, and he never saw it. Today, I am honored to learn that the Lord of the Castle and General Wuxiong are father and son. ”

Regarding the official Wuxiong, in fact, there was no real meeting between him and Taihao. However, Taihao's name, for Wuxiong, is like thunder, often ringing in his ears.

Who is the Vulture? Back then, Princess Changxiang "became the emperor" in Tianxue City in one fell swoop, and ambitiously established the so-called "pseudo-imperial court". And Wu Xiong is the most powerful member of her command, a fierce general, in the position of a hussar general, holding a heavy army, and a powerful side. However, the good times did not last long, and when he brought his troops to Thousand Winds City, the imperial army fought a great battle with him, and the Wuxiong was also defeated in this war.

After the defeat, Wuxiong chose to surrender to the imperial court in order to save his life. Although Emperor Xuancheng was magnanimous, he did not let him go easily, and finally demoted this hussar general of the "pseudo-imperial court" to a commoner, and lived an ordinary life from then on.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, many years have passed. Princess Changxiang went through twists and turns and finally became the justifiable empress. And Wuxiong, because of this relationship, has once again been reused by the imperial court. His son Wu Lu was promoted by the imperial court and rose all the way to become the city lord of Wurong City.
