"What exactly are you referring to as a surprise?" said to his sister, what did old nature say.

You don't have to hide it, but I asked it when I thought of this question.

"Well, I'm not sure about it now, anyway, you'll know when the time comes, brother. Xia Lingling had a drunken flush on her cheeks, and said with a smile as she looked at her brother.

"Okay, you're a paying girl, since that's the case, I won't ask more, brother, you know it yourself. ”

The boss patted Xia Lingling's shoulder as he spoke, then turned around and snapped his fingers, waking up the shopkeeper who was dozing off on the counter.

The latter woke up a little dazed, rubbed his eyes and looked around the lobby, which was full of drinkers.

I was still a little stunned for a while, and I didn't know who was calling him, until the boss shouted again, and then he reacted.

He yawned and asked, "Eat and drink?" There was not much joy or enthusiasm on his face.

After all, it's such a big tavern, and the guests come and go, that is, those people, and if they can get by, they don't care about any repeat customers.

Obviously, the boss won't worry too much about a shopkeeper, so he said with a deep groan: "Give me a pot of this same wine." ”

"Haole, burn a pot of knives. Xiao Er shouted and went backstage to get the wine.

Originally, the boss wanted to drink some ten-year Xinghua Village, but I don't think there is anything in this tavern, so I just want to be the same as his sister on the hour.

"I remember that you rarely drink alcohol, big brother. ”

After the wine came, Xia Lingling looked at the boss in some surprise and said.

"Drinking less is not not drinking, it's not that you're coming back today, let's drink some together, and don't inform the eldest brother as soon as possible, it's really sad for the eldest brother." The boss shook his head and said, picked up the flask and took a sip.

He is an extremely self-disciplined person, and because it is easy to make mistakes with alcohol, he generally does not drink.

Brother and sister, you chatted with me word by word, since you don't have to worry about the matter of Dade County, you talked about some parents, and naturally talked about the matter of his second brother Xia Yizhang.

Since Xia Lingling left, there have been no major changes in the family, and some people are still the same.

But I don't know if I drank too much, and as he spoke, the boss lowered his voice and moved a little closer.

said: "The second child is still taking care of the family business, but some time ago, about a month ago, I always felt that he was doing some sneaky things behind his family's back. ”

"I guess I want to steal the interests of the family by means of evil methods, and sooner or later I will find him out, so that there is no place for him to die in this family. ”

Later, the boss's mood seemed a little high-pitched, but his voice was already very low, at least he knew that the wall had ears, and some words could not be known by outsiders.

Xia Lingling, who was still very sober, immediately changed her expression after hearing this.

didn't immediately pick up his eldest brother's words, but also snapped his fingers, called the shopkeeper and said, "Check out, you calculate how much two pots of burning knives cost." ”

"A penny. Xiao Er said without thinking.

After taking out a piece of broken silver from her belt and throwing it on the table, Xia Lingling took her eldest brother's arm and walked out.

This place is no longer a place to talk, after the two of them left the tavern, walking on the empty street, there was that cool breeze blowing, and the boss's wine woke up a lot.

"Go to my mansion, let's talk. The Boss discerned the road ahead and spoke.

After saying that, the speed of the two of them walking a little faster, and when they encountered patrolling guards on the road, they stopped to greet the two of them.

To say that Xia Lingling hasn't come back for so long, they may not know each other, or they may not have any impression of this girl.

But when it comes to the eldest son of the entire Xiling Xia family, it is very familiar, and the other party can be regarded as their top superior.

Even if you can't get closer, it's a good thing to be familiar with your face, so everyone is smart, with their backs to the direction of the moonlight, and they put on a smile that they think is the most kind.

Of course, if you change the word, in Xia Lingling's eyes, it is how to look at how to flatter.

It's a pity that all the flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man, and the boss just nodded lightly, and didn't even stop for a moment, and walked over quickly.

When she was about to arrive at the mansion, Xia Lingling opened her mouth and said: "Big brother, those people just now are not very good, they look flattering, don't tell me, this is the effect of your training these days." ”

"Oh? Then it will be rectified tomorrow. The eldest brother said casually when he heard this, the two walked into the mansion, and the eldest brother followed and said: "After all, they are just patrols, not under my direct control, and I will talk to the officials of the City Defense Department tomorrow." ”

"Okay, you just have to know it. Xia Lingling nodded and said, he is still relieved that his eldest brother is doing things, although he can't say that he is comprehensive, but he will never miss the general direction.

Well, there has been no major mistake in my memory, when Xia Lingling was still young, she vaguely recalled some things that had happened.

But now the eldest brother is actually eyeing the second brother who has been doing business, and he doesn't know if it is selfish, he is eyeing the second brother, and wants to pull him off the horse, or if he really finds something.

Xia Lingling didn't dare to guarantee it, the only way was to inquire more carefully.

As the eldest son of the Xia family, the mansion seems to be a little low-key, there is nothing special, and there are not too many people in the mansion.

Even some scenic rockeries are small and not luxurious and heroic, not to mention some objects such as decoration columns.

Look at these, and then look at her second brother's residence, and you can see that it is a world of difference, and the latter's house shows a sense of extravagance throughout.

"I haven't seen you for so long, big brother, the things in your house haven't changed. After Xia Lingling sat down in the chair below, she said with a little ridicule.

"If there's anything to change, just use it. The eldest brother turned his back to Xia Lingling and said simply, but he reached out and rummaged for something on the bookshelf.

However, Xia Lingling didn't wait too long, probably less than a cup of tea, and saw that the eldest brother had turned around, and at the same time grabbed a stack of papers in his hand.

"Well, let's see, all the information from the previous investigation has been collected here. ”

With a snap, the eldest brother threw the things in his hand on the table, Xia Lingling stepped forward and sat opposite the eldest brother and looked at them one by one.

At the top was a letter, and after opening it, Xia Lingling read it carefully and found that it was the information of his second brother and the people of the family.

After reading it through, I found that there was no major sin that made people shine, and if I really wanted to say it, it was just some bribery.

As for the amount of bribes, it is nothing at all, and it is completely insufficient to rely on this to win the second brother.

However, Xia Lingling was not in a hurry, at least something was really found by the eldest brother, which shows that the other party is not child's play or a blame.

The more you looked back, the more silent the room became.

Quietly poured himself a cup of tea, the boss didn't say a word, leaned back in the chair, holding a small patterned porcelain cup in his hand.

There was a bit of thought in his eyes, he didn't mean to disturb Xia Lingling, and at the same time, he was not surprised at all, how could my sister look at this thing for so long.

After another stick of incense had passed, Xia Lingling exhaled lightly and put the paper in her hand on the table.

Raising his head, he looked at his brother solemnly and extremely seriously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, are you sure that you have read these things carefully?"

Of course, I even pondered some of them several times. The boss nodded.

"So eldest brother, do you really only see that the second brother is planning to fill his pockets?" Xia Lingling's eyes flickered, and after these words were really spoken, her heart moved.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the eldest brother leaning forward, and even his expression changed, and he said in the same tone: "Oh, I don't know what else my sister saw?"

For a long time, Xia Lingling, who had been for a long time, did not speak, looking at the face of the eldest brother in front of him, a lot of pictures suddenly appeared in his mind.

Her throat rolled a little, and Xia Lingling said slowly: "It's not to fill your own pockets, but to eat inside and out." ”

She didn't expect that her eldest brother would use such a way to completely tie her to her warship, and let out a long sigh in her heart.

Perhaps, from the moment of drinking, no, or maybe the other party had this idea after learning that he had returned?

It's just pointless to dwell on these now, just a little bit of indifference.

"Oh, please tell me more about it. "The eldest brother didn't seem to notice anything, and he didn't notice the abnormality of his sister's expression at all, but his eyes were slightly bright.

This is not destined to be a night to sleep peacefully, whether it is this house, or the Xia family's compound separated by two long streets, or the second son who is walking in the dark......

Of course, in addition, in the mountains hundreds of miles away, Pei Jiao still did not sleep peacefully.

After all, there was such an unknown patient as Liu Yuan lying beside him, and although the other party's injuries were gradually improving, there was still no sign of waking up.

"Hey!" Pei Jiao looked up, looked through the layers of leaves, looked at the starry sky and the moon, and sighed with a lot of meaning.

Stretched out his right hand and gently covered Liu Yuan's forehead, his body temperature was finally normal, and he thought in his heart that just half an hour ago, Liu Yuan's body was still hot.

The hot body is red, and now the body temperature has returned to normal, which means that it should be about to wake up.

But he still didn't dare to guarantee it, so Pei Jiao used his internal breath to carefully check Liu Yuan's body.

It's a pity that she still can't get too much information, Pei Jiao frowned and withdrew her hand, she couldn't figure out Liu Yuan's strange body at all.

Don't dare to go any further, the complicated situation in the other party's body, the slightest mistake, may lead to a new round of 'explosion' again.

In the middle of the night, just when Pei Jiao was forcing her eyes and carefully alerting to the surrounding situation, a slight movement around her caught her attention.

Turning around, Pei Jiao had a look of surprise on his face, and he clearly saw that Liu Yuan had woken up.

was looking at the sky with a pair of big eyes, reached out and grabbed Liu Yuan's arm, and said, "How do you feel now?"

"It's half there. Liu Yuan's voice was still a little hoarse, and he said word by word: "Don't touch me yet, I feel that my body still can't move." ”

"Ah, good, good. Pei Jiao hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at him with a nervous face.

As soon as he woke up, Liu Yuan calmed down and began to check the current condition of his body.

Although it is not yet possible to move, the condition is better than ever.

Not to mention that the influence of the second-level internal force pill has completely passed, even if there is no past, with his current physical condition, he can completely resist it.

It has not been tested yet, but Liu Yuan is also sure that his pure yang hegemony body has reached another level.

No, not even more than one layer, he clearly remembered that the 'source' in his original body was more than a circle larger than the current one.

The overflowing energy was all absorbed by his physical body.

With his current physical condition, his comprehension of the mountain wilderness will definitely be able to go to the next level.

After feeling the incense stick so carefully, Liu Yuan finally arrived and felt better, first the fingers of his right hand could be moved.

Until his whole arm was raised and he was pushed on the ground, Liu Yuan sat up from the ground.

He turned his head to look at Pei Jiao and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's not long, it's not even a day. ”

"Oh? That's fine. Liu Yuan opened his mouth and muttered, it was indeed okay, after all, he had been asleep for a few days before.

Now that he has completed his transformation so quickly, he can only sigh at the power of the Pure Yang Hegemony Physique, which also shows that his body is getting stronger and stronger.

After speaking, he got up directly from the ground and asked, "Where is Xiao Chu?"

"He told us to go first, and he came after him. Pei Jiao said and described the situation in detail.

After listening to Pei Jiao's description, Liu Yuan somehow had a bad premonition in his heart, and couldn't help but murmur: "Something should happen." ”

"Probably not. Pei Jiao replied, she had put all her heart on Liu Yuan before, and it didn't seem to be until now that she realized that something was wrong.

After all, it is difficult to make a move, since it is impossible to make a move that wave of failure, just give up completely, which is not in line with the other party's style of acting.

Forget it, maybe after so many years, the Alien Gang, whose strength has been greatly reduced, has long since changed its way of doing things.

"Don't think about it, let's hurry to Xia's house, let's go, let's go overnight." Liu Yuan said that he had taken the lead in moving forward.

No matter how urgent other things are, it is better to bring the news back first, and Xiao Chu's hard work cannot be in vain.

It was late at night, and it was hard to hear the slightest insect chirping on the road.

"It's really in response to your opening sentence, this road is really not peaceful. Liu Yuan looked at Pei Jiao with a wry smile and said.

Liu Channeling was in a hurry, and the speed could be described as galloping.

However, when the sky was still bright, the two of them stopped in front of the gate of Hongguang City, a giant city on the southwest border.

A solemn atmosphere came to their faces, and the two looked at each other, both puzzled.
