"Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs...... Liu Xunyi, betraying the Lord and killing your father may be the greatest misfortune in your life, but you can have a mother who loves you so much as Lord Xiaogu...... Isn't it your great luck?

Sighing, Xun Qin gradually woke up from his contemplation, and suddenly found that his legs had become very heavy at some point.

The conversation with Xiao Zhirou just now seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

After all, the two have different generations and disparities in status, so Xun Qin has to take a strong breath to fight against Xiao Zhirou and not fall into the upper hand in terms of momentum.

However, "bluffing" is extremely draining on energy. When Xun Qin finally stabilized his mind and slowly faded away in a cold sweat, the whole person seemed to experience a fierce battle of life and death, and he was almost exhausted both physically and mentally.

Closing the door, holding on to the wall with his hand, he staggered to the copper basin, gently wiping his cheeks with a wet handkerchief, trying to clear his chaotic spirit a little.

"Bang, bang!"

However, before Xun Qin could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another knock on the closed door.

"Who?"

"Hong Temple, Yan Shun, and Lei Zhen ask to see the eldest lady!"

Hearing the answer outside the door, Xun Qin quickly threw the wet handkerchief into the copper basin. Take a deep breath and brighten your tired eyes again.

"Come in!"

When a few people from Hongsi tiptoed through the door, Xun Qin was already sitting at the table in high spirits and poured four cups of tea for them.

"Meet the Lady......"

"It's all your own people, you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk. ”

Xun Qin interrupted them nonchalantly as he swept over the four of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

When he saw that the person next to Hong Si, Yan Shun, and Lei Zhen was not Yuan Xiao, but a strange face who was submissive, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked curiously: "Who are you?"

"Back to ...... Returning to the eldest lady, the villain 'Yuan Dahai', came to meet ...... on the order of my master."

"Your lord is ...... Yuan Xiao?"

"Returning to Miss, yes...... It's Yuan Xiao. Yuan Dahai stammered, and his demeanor was quite timid.

Feeling strange, Xun Qindai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she deliberately tried to say: "Do you know who I am?"

"This ......" Yuan Dahai was stunned for a moment and replied in a panic, "The villain doesn't know...... No, no, no, the villain knows ......."

Seeing Yuan Dahai speak upside down, Lei Zhen was furious and scolded sharply: "I know for a while, I don't know for a while, do you know?"

"The eldest lady spares her life! The villain knows that it was just a slip of the tongue just now...... "Yuan Dahai, who was stunned, fell to his knees with a pop, and because of the extreme panic in his heart, his body trembled violently uncontrollably, "The villain has seen the eldest lady in Shenzhou......"

"Miss, I look at this Yuan Dahai...... Eighty percent is a fool. When I asked, I was nervous, and when I was scared, I trembled, either there was a ghost in my heart, or there was a problem here. Yan Shun pointed to his head with his hand and said in a low voice, "Did Yuan Xiao take the wrong medicine? He ...... to send such a stupid thing to see the eldest lady."

"Where is Yuan Xiao?" Xun Qin interrupted Yan Shun's sarcasm with his eyes, and said to Yuan Dahai in the softest voice possible, "Don't kneel, sit down and drink a cup of tea." Everyone here is your own family, so you don't have to be nervous. ”

"I ......"

"What am I, what am I? The eldest lady asks you to sit on it, what kind of man does you look like crookedly?"

Lei Zhen brutally and brutally dragged the overwhelmed Yuan Dahai to Xun Qin's side and forcibly pressed him on the stool.

"Look up and look at me. Xun Qin pushed a cup of tea in front of Yuan Dahai and asked unhurriedly, "Tell me, why didn't Yuan Xiao come?"

The old man said...... King Xian's Mansion is not peaceful tonight, he is worried about the extraneous branches, and he does not dare to act rashly. Yuan Dahai, who was trembling, held the teacup in both hands and replied intermittently, "If the eldest lady has any instructions, just tell me, and I will tell you the truth." ”

"When will you worship under Yuan Xiao......'s door? In what capacity?"

"The villain entered the Yuan Mansion seven years ago and has been working in the lower courtyard......"

"Guy?"

As soon as Yuan Dahai's words came out, not only made Xun Qin stunned, but also surprised Hong Temple, Lei Zhen, and Yan Shun.

"It's been a long time, it turns out that you are just a subordinate who cooks for Yuan Xiao? No wonder you look like a coward, and you don't know what to ask. Lei Zhen sneered and teased unscrupulously, "Is Yuan Xiao crazy......?

"That's it!"

With a wave of his hand, Xun Qinyu interrupted the angry Lei Zhen and the three of them, staring at the terrified Yuan Dahai with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "You tell me honestly, Yuan Xiao...... Is something wrong?"

"Something happened?" Yuan Dahai looked stunned, shaking his head again and again like a rattle, "The old man is alive and well, and nothing happened." ”

"Really?"

"The villain would rather die than dare to deceive the eldest lady, the master is really fine. Before coming here, the lord personally instructed me that when I saw the eldest lady, I must be respectful and respectful, and I must not be rude......"

"I see. Looking at Yuan Dahai, who was swearing, Xun Qin smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any instructions, just talk to Yuan Xiao." You have worked hard to run in vain and drink this cup of tea...... Go back and rest!"

"Oh!"

Seeing that Xun Qin didn't mean to embarrass himself, Yuan Dahai hurriedly swallowed the tea, and then bowed his hands to Hong Temple, Yan Shun, and Lei Zhen, who were looking at each other, and then fled and left the room.

"Miss, he'......"

"It's not him who has the problem, it's Yuan Xiao. After Yuan Dahai left, Xun Qin's smile gradually solidified, "An hour ago, Murong Bai came here. Why was he not afraid of extraneous branches, but Yuan Xiao did not dare to act rashly? Even if he could not get out, why didn't Yuan Xiao send a capable subordinate and choose a confused and dumb-headed man? Was he deliberately perfunctory? Or was he forced to do so...... What does he want to hint at me through Yuan Dahai?"

"The night before yesterday, Yuan Xiao was discussing with us, and at that time, ...... Didn't notice something wrong with him. Hong Si recalled, "Why didn't I see ...... for two days?"

"Maybe the problem is in the past two days...... Xun Qin muttered, "But Murong Bai told me that everything is normal in the Xianwang Mansion, and nothing earth-shattering has happened. If Yuan Xiao is in any trouble, or...... His identity was revealed by Qingfeng, and it was impossible for the Xianwang Mansion to be so peaceful. ”

"Could it be that Murong Bai is lying?" Yan Shun thought for a moment and boldly speculated, "Could he be the spy that Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao planted beside us?"

"Impossible!" Lei Zhen categorically denied, "If Murong Bai had a problem, Lei would have died a long time ago." ”

"Maybe he wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish......"

"This ......" Jinghong Temple "reminded", Lei Zhen couldn't help but waver, "It should be ...... Xie Xuan and Murong Bai are like brothers and sisters......

"Perhaps...... Xie Xuan also has a problem, God knows what conspiracy they are brewing......"

"It's just outrageous!" Seeing Hongsi, Yan Shun said a word, and I was jealous of Xie Xuan and Murong Bai, Xun Qin's face sank, and his tone was not good, "I know that you and Yuan Xiao have been friends for many years, and they are brothers who share weal and woe. You don't want to believe that the problem is with Yuan Xiao, and I don't want to. But you can't deliberately smear Xie Xuan and Murong Bai in order to cover up Yuan Xiao's suspicions. With such a willful mind, do you plan to drag Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi, and Yun Chaiyue into the water next? What about me? Do you want to suspect me together?"

"The eldest lady is angry, I don't dare!"

Seeing Xun Qin's furiousness, the three of Hongsi were all so frightened that their faces changed, and they fell to the ground one after another, kowtowing to her in panic to make amends.

"I called you tonight to ask how you are prepared. The second is to ask Yuan Xiao about Qingfeng's movements. The third is to ask Hongsi about Hongyang's situation. Now it seems that none of the three things will work for me. Yuan Xiao's abnormality, the three of Hongsi's avoidance of the heavy, coupled with their own tiredness, made it difficult for Xun Qin to maintain his usual strength and demeanor, and became a little anxious, irritable, and irritable, "This time, it is the first time that you have joined forces with the Central Plains Sect. People are ready to go, but you are full of mistakes at critical moments. What will be the consequences if the plan of the Young Qin King is delayed because of this...... You know it in your hearts. ”

"The eldest lady is angry, I will know my mistake!"

"Lord Hongruo, have I wronged you?" asked Xun Qin in a strange manner, "If you have found Hong Yang's whereabouts, I will immediately retract what I just said." ”

"The eldest lady is clever, Hong is indeed ...... It is true that Hong Yang's whereabouts have not been found. Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down Hong Si's cheeks, and he didn't even dare to take a breath at this time.

"I knew it!"

"Smack!"

Xun Qin, who couldn't bear it, slammed the teacup on the ground, and the three people kneeling in front of him were scared.

"I don't want to hear any more meaningless complaints and complaints from your mouths, and I don't want the three of you to follow in the footsteps of Yuan Xiao and have any accidents. Whether it's an unexpected 'surprise' or an unexpected 'fright', I don't want it! I just want you to do your part with all your heart, and don't find any excuse to prevaricate!" Xun Qin admonished word by word, "Remember your identity, you are no longer the 'Earth Overlord' of the Four Prefectures of Shangjing, but the helmsman of the four major rudders of the Central Plains of the Xilu Martial Sect. Liu Xunyi is the deputy sect master of the Xilu Martial Sect, if he makes any mistakes, none of you will want to live. Also, you don't have to worry about Yuan Xiao's affairs, go back and prepare, and everything will go according to plan. ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go down!"

"Yes......"

Under Xun Qin's rather impatient urging, the frightened three people of Hong Temple cautiously exited the room.

"It's really a wave of unevenness!" "The depressed Xun Qin looked at the flickering candle flame with complicated eyes, and kept muttering to himself, "Yuan Xiao, Yuan Xiao...... You should be the person I can rely on the most, tonight...... What the hell is going on?"

"Bang!"

Just when Xun Qin was upset and puzzled, the door was suddenly slammed open.

Immediately after, Qin Ku, who was full of alcohol, stumbled into the room with the support of Qin Da, Qin Er, and Qin San.

"My 'Miss Xunqin' all night...... You met the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt. Yan is thin and fat, each with its own merits...... I said it, laughed and laughed, cried and cried, and scolded and scolded...... How's it going? Is it the turn of the little brother's 'brand' now? hehe......
