Chapter 52: The Ancestors of the Old Things
The murderer who killed Xiaoxiao was found, and everyone couldn't believe that it was Ling Gaoyuan. It was a great blow to the Nangong couple, and the so-called raising tigers was nothing more than that.
At this point, Nangong Yunmu decided not to say a word to Hou Qingrou, and of course he didn't want to say it. Although Ling Gaoyuan is his closest nephew, he is ridiculously his daughter, and his anger and sadness can be imagined.
Burst!
Seeing Ling Gaoyuan being carried out of the courtyard gate, Nangong Yunmu spewed out a mouthful of blood, covering his chest with his hands, and his handsome face in the past was a lot haggard at the moment.
"Master"
You Hong supported Nangong Yunmu, Hou Qingrou, who had already walked through the mourning hall, turned his back to him and spoke again at this time: "Steward You, help the old man go down to rest."
"Yes" You Hong opened his mouth and replied, Madame didn't seem to care about the matter just now at this time, holding Nangong Yunmu and preparing to leave.
didn't take a few steps, Hou Qingrou behind him said in a deep voice: "Steward You, Yang Ding and the others ignore the family rules and etiquette, but they are disrespectful to Xiaoxiao, and the death penalty can be avoided, and their cultivation will be expelled from the Nangong Courtyard!"
You Hong was stunned for a moment, and then secretly said in his heart: I still can't escape. Since the accident of the young lady, in the courtyard of the Nangong, the words of the master have become less and the words of the lady have increased, and it seems that the master is also very afraid of the lady, which is not a good sign. Sneaking a glance at Nangong Yunmu, he saw that his face was expressionless.
Helping Nangong Yunmu to leave the mourning hall, You Hong was nervous all the way. He couldn't help but speak: "Master, there have been a lot of things in the past two days, you have to take good care of your body, and if you have anything, you can leave it to the old slave to do it for you." ”
"Steward You, send someone to Boyang Mountain. ”
Nangong Yunmu's expression was serious, today Hou Qingrou has expressed dissatisfaction with him, Mu Xiao killed Hou Zhengfeng, this revenge must be avenged. Just moving Mu Xiao is quite moving the Black Menghui, since this is the case, then serve it in one pot.
"Master, who are you?" You Hong was surprised, although the Heavenly Dao Society cooperated closely with the Nangong Courtyard, there had been little contact for a while since the Heavenly Dao Society President went into retreat. At this time, the master wants to send someone to Boyang Mountain, does he want the Heavenly Dao Society to help arrest Mu Xiao?
"I heard that the Wandering Clan is the place that Mu Xiao cares about the most, I want to see what would happen to him without the Wandering Clan. In addition, Hanhai Pavilion announced that it had separated from the Heavenly Dao Society, I am afraid it is not a coincidence, and it is necessary to send additional people to monitor and report to me every move. ”
Nangong Yunmu said coldly, secretly thinking in his heart: I want Tianyuan to be surnamed Nangong.
"Yes, sir......"
You Hong was about to continue, but he raised his hand to stop him, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Xiaoxiao, it's time to go into the ground." ”
After speaking, Nangong Yunmu walked into the bedroom, You Hong bowed deeply at the door and left, everything has already begun to change.
......
In Dilong Village, Mu Xiao sat at the table, looking at the room from time to time, and the lonely old man opposite was gnawing on chicken legs.
"Old man, is Uncle Qiao really okay?" Mu Xiao stretched out his head and asked in a low voice, this was the third time he had asked since he entered the door.
The lonely old man threw the chicken leg bones on the ground and wiped his hands and mouth, and said, "You have come in for a while, and you have asked many times, if he wants something to do, do we still have something to eat? ”
“...... You", Mu Xiao gritted his teeth in anger, but asked a few more words, as for such a fire?
At this time, Qiao San just walked out of the room, and when he saw Mu Xiao coming, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Mu Xiao stood up a little guilty and said, "Uncle Qiao, that ......"
"You mean it's in the woods, right? Hey, it's fine, but I was a little confused, and when I came back, I thought about it, wasn't he a bad guy? Qiao Sanle said and sat down: "Come to dinner, I can't figure it out, the lonely old man can't starve to death." ”
"San'er, my lonely cloud seems to be someone who can't find food?"
The lonely old man blew his beard and glared and scolded when he heard this, this is too underestimating himself, didn't he live a good life before he came here, but in retrospect, he really met someone whose cooking skills could compare to this Qiao San.
Qiao Sanyi said with a smile: "Okay, eat, you still have to practice after eating."
"Practice?" Mu Xiao wondered, when did Qiao San practice? Isn't he a cook?
"From today on, Qiao San is my lonely Yun apprentice, if you Mu Xiao dare to snub him a little, you just don't give the old man my face, do you hear it, boy!" The lonely old man's voice was lengthened, and he looked at Mu Xiao in warning.
Mu Xiao secretly complained to himself, when did he bully him, this is blatant nonsense. Looking at the lonely old man, eighty percent of them want to keep Uncle Qiao by his side to cook, so they accept him as an apprentice.
Mu Xiao pretended to be scared and said, "Don't dare, don't dare"
"Eat, teach you something after eating. The lonely old man glanced at it and picked up the bowl to sweep the rice.
When Mu Xiao heard this, he instantly said happily: "You want to take me as an apprentice?"
Although Mu Xiao has a secret book, he has no guidance from a master, and some things are still not understood, and it is not a bad thing to have a master. Especially like a lonely old man, an unfathomable master as a teacher, why not do it?
"You think beautifully, Qiao San is my closed disciple, you, you are not qualified!" The lonely old man looked at Mu Xiao with a disgusted face.
Mu Xiao was angry all of a sudden, how could I, Mu Xiao, also be a martial arts wizard, how could I allow the bad old man to look down on him like this?
His eyes glared angrily, and he said angrily, "Old man, why am I also a martial arts wizard, right?
"Pull it down, that is, in Tianyuan, like you, it's not enough to put it outside to lift shoes for others" The lonely old man looked at Mu Xiao, in addition to disgust or disgust.
Mu Xiao suddenly remembered that Yi Qiu from Liaocheng, and suddenly lost his temper, at this moment, except for working hard to make rice, there seemed to be no other way to hide his guilt.
"Master, why don't you take Mu Xiao in the same way, so that I still have a companion to practice martial arts, don't you? Qiao San pleaded on the side, and Mu Xiao was moved in his heart.
But the lonely old man didn't buy it, snapped, put the chopsticks on the table and hummed: "Don't eat, you quickly put away the bowl and practice." ”
Qiao San's neck shrunk, how dare he say it again? Ding Ding Dong finished collecting the bowl and sneaked into the room to practice.
The lonely old man moved the stool closer to Mu Xiao, stroked his beard and looked at Mu Xiao with a smile and said, "Boy, does Nangong Xiaoxiao's death have anything to do with you?"
"Old man, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Mu Xiao immediately retorted.
The lonely old man still didn't believe it: "It's rumored outside that you broke into the courtyard of Nangong and killed Nangong Xiaoxiao in revenge." ”
The rumors are terrible, although Mu Xiao hates Nangong Yunmu, but he can't blame his daughter, and he doesn't dare to break into the Nangong courtyard with his current strength. If this old man doesn't understand, it's really in vain.
"What do you think?" Mu Xiao asked deliberately rhetorically.
The lonely old man shook his head lightly and said, "It's unlikely, I don't dare to go if you have ten guts." I can't come back if I go. ”
"Not necessarily, it's just that I don't have to kill his daughter, but I've sent them back with the real killer. Mu Xiao smiled mysteriously.
Then he told everything that happened today, and the old man laughed after hearing it: "You want to be angry with that kid of Nangong Yunmu." ”
After a pause, the lonely old man raised his head and said: "Nangong Yunmu, that kid, has been in the Sword Venerable for five or six years and has not advanced, I'm afraid that until now, his strength is not as good as his wife!"
Mu Xiao asked Yan and frowned, Nangong Yun Munei's martial arts are even more powerful than him?
"His wife is better than him?" asked Mu Xiao with a question, looking at the lonely old man expectantly.
"What's so strange about this, strong women and weak men don't affect love, and Hou Qingrou is just a woman from an ordinary family in Liaocheng, and it is difficult to be on the list of powerful families. His brother Hou Zhengfeng has always been a ......"
"Wait a minute," Mu Xiao interrupted ......the lonely old man, "You said Hou Zhengfeng is her brother, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Didn't you ask?" said the lonely old man, with a look of ignorance.
Mu Xiao tried hard to recall, he didn't seem to ask what their relationship was before, if Hou Zhengfeng was Mrs. Nangong's eldest brother, then killing Hou Zhengfeng by himself would not only offend Lu Ling, but also offend Mrs. Nangong, and the next days would not be easy.
Mu Xiao's face was full of black lines, and at this time he frowned, and the lonely old man on the side squinted at him, and laughed coldly: "Aren't you kid not afraid of heaven and earth?" Fooling around in Tianyuan, even if you don't kill Hou Zhengfeng, just by leading the Black Meng Society to infiltrate the east of the city, Nangong Yunmu is already destined to get rid of you, although he has never shown up, but you have long been a thorn in his eye. ”
"Old man, this is your fault, you asked me to let go of my hands and feet in the first place!" Mu Xiao simply said scoundrelly.
The lonely old man raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really, when you made a big fuss in the east of the city, it seems that I haven't come yet, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Xiao was speechless, it was true that he was still working hard at that time, but he didn't expect that there were so many things involved behind him. Heimeng's infiltration of the east of the city is to break the Nangong Courtyard's strategy to balance the Heavenly Garden. Even what Wan Shaohong was doing behind his back, Mu Xiao didn't dare to guarantee that he knew.
"Do you think Wan Shaohong will be prepared for Nangong Courtyard?"
"That's natural, Wanjia can be the overlord of the west side of the city, of course, there are old things that are enough to compete with the Nangong Courtyard. The lonely old man affirmed: "But Tianyuan has the rules of Tianyuan, as long as it is not too excessive, these old things will not come out." ”
"They all have old things behind them, so you are old things for me Mu Xiao, right?" Mu Xiao quipped.
Lonely faint instantly burst out: "Get out, what are those old things, how can I be the ancestor of those old things, if it weren't for my poor granddaughter, who would look up to you, but I said, I can only keep you from dying and don't help you kill people." ”
is still the same sentence, Mu Xiao can make trouble everywhere, and the old man will protect his life, but it is impossible to ask him to help make trouble. Since this is the case, Mu Xiao also said anything, but now that the Wandering Clan is being targeted by the Heavenly Dao Society, it shouldn't be too much to ask him for a favor, right?
"Old man, I'll tell you a business. ”
"If you fart, let it go"
"I'd like to ask you to stay with the Wanderers for a while." Mu Xiao said directly.
"Don't go!"
The lonely old man refused directly, thinking to himself, just kidding, you can go if you say go, it seems that I am cheap, I listen to you for everything, how faceless I am.
Mu Xiao looked sideways at the lonely old man, as if he was looking forward to continuing to talk. He patted his legs and stood up, circled around the lonely old man, sniffed, and said, "Old man, you haven't smelled wine on you for so long here." The drunken dreamers of the Wandering Clan are famous far and wide, you must have drunk them, right?"
"Drunken dreamer?" The lonely old man's eyes lit up, didn't Qiao San buy it for himself a few days ago?
"Yes, there are drunken dreamers every day, but you always have to help me train some masters to come out," Mu Xiao directly explained, asking him to train individual secret guards.
"It's okay, but I have to bring Qiao San, I'm not used to other people's cooking. The lonely old man thought, anyway, I'm a little tired of living here, and it's not bad to change places.
