Hearing a knock on the door outside, the two in the study had already let go of each other's hands. Nangong Yunmu looked at Hou Qingrou, there was still no cold expression at the moment, and she turned back to the usual Nangong lady, dignified and kind.

"Come in"

He answered in a long voice in the direction of the door, and in a moment the door of the study was slowly pushed open. Nangong smiled and said with a smile: "Father, mother, you are all here!"

As he spoke, Nangong smiled and entered the study and closed the door casually. Swayed to the two of them, pulled out a chair and waved his sleeves to sit down, without the slightest appearance of everyone's ladies.

"Xiaoxiao, why do you just do nothing all day long, and you don't do anything serious. Nangong Yunmu complained a little, and Chu Mei reprimanded.

Hou Qingrou casually held on to the wooden chair on the side, sat down elegantly with her skirt, looked at the daughter in front of her and shook her head and smiled bitterly, but her red eyes were seen through by Nangong Xiaoxiao.

Nangong smiled and ignored his father's reprimand, got up and walked to Hou Qingrou and squatted down, held his mother's hand and asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Facing Nangong Xiaoxiao's questioning, Nangong Yunmu was speechless. I have known each other for more than 20 years, when did you dare to bully your mother, do you still need to ask? Thinking about it in his heart, it was a little ridiculous, and his strange eyes glanced at Nangong and smiled without speaking.

"No, smile, uncle is gone. As Hou Qingrou spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Nangong smiled and looked at his mother in disbelief, only then did he notice that Hou Qingrou was still holding a bronze token in his other hand.

Nangong smiled and took the bronze token, and asked a little choked: "Uncle is gone? What's the matter? Didn't he go to the suburbs?"

"Do you know that my uncle went to the suburbs?" Nangong Yunmu's voice suddenly deepened: "Why didn't you tell me?"

The sudden questioning made Nangong Xiaoxiao startled: "I also knew that I would come back soon, I didn't see you, it was Mu Tiantian who told me." ”

Nangong smiled and sobbed in a low voice, Hou Zhengfeng loved their sister and brother very much when he was alive, and now when he heard the news of his death, his heart was mixed.

"Where's my uncle?"

"Laughing, uncle, his bones are gone. Hou Qingrou still couldn't hold back her crying after all.

It's just that Nangong smiled but wiped away his tears and stood up and said: "Impossible, no matter how powerful Mu Xiao is, he can't kill his uncle, even if he succeeds, there is no need for him to hide the corpse." Now there is a possibility that the uncle is still alive. There is also a possibility that there is a master behind Mu Xiao, a master who can destroy corpses and destroy traces. ”

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to wake up the two of them, although Mu Xiao was powerful, but the difference in the realm was there, how could it be so easy to kill Hou Zhengfeng? But Nangong Qiqi said that there was a smell of corpses at the scene, and there were traces of blood. This is clearly someone who destroyed the corpse Could it be that there is really a master behind Mu Xiao Nangong Yunmu thought like this at this moment, and he was scared all over.

"Looks like we're going to have to go to the countryside tomorrow and we'll have to figure out what's going on. Nangong Yunmu clenched his hands into fists, and the blue muscles on his handsome face were slightly exposed, looking a little handsome and hideous.

Now we must find out whether there is a terrible existence behind Mu Xiao, if there is, but you have to be more careful, of course, Mu Xiao's strength should not be underestimated, during this time, you still have to pay more attention to his movements, find opportunities to catch him alive, and wait until you get the Taicang Sutra and the Worry-Free Sword, and then cut it with a thousand knives.

"Xiaoxiao, did you just say that Mu Tiantian is still in Tianyuan?

Nangong smiled and said helplessly: "He said that he would only hand over the Taiqing Dan if he entered the Nangong Courtyard, Dad, can the Taiqing Dan really allow you to break through to the True Sword Venerable?"

"Then promise him," Nangong Yunmu said, opened the door and walked out.

The mother and daughter behind him were in a daze looking at his back in the room, and Qingrou was more worried at this time. Although Taiqing Dan can greatly increase people's internal strength, it is also unbearable, and she is worried that Nangong Yunmu will take Taiqing Dan to improve her strength.

But it's understandable to think about it, he has been in the Pseudo-Sword Venerable for five or six years, but he can't successfully reach the True Sword Venerable, this is his bellflower. It's just that Taiqing Dan's backlash, no one knows what the consequences are, whether they can use it or not.

"Xiaoxiao, is that Mu Tiantian really still in Tianyuan? Bring him another day, I heard you say that he and Mu Xiao are fellow villagers?"

"Does my mother want to ask him about Mu Xiao's identity? Anyway, my father is also looking for him, and I will bring it when the time comes, you can ask it yourself." Nangong smiled and took Hou Qingrou's hand and sighed.

Hou Qingrou stroked her daughter's long hair, blinking her general eyes, her eyes were still a little moist, she squeezed out a smile and said, "My daughter has grown up, it's time to find a good in-law." ”

"Mother, I don't want to get married, I just want to stay by my mother's side. Nangong smiled and hugged Hou Qingrou coquettishly, and said softly.

Hou Qingrou smiled and kept her eyes, grabbed her arms and gently pushed them away: "Xiaoxiao, Liaocheng Yiqiu Gongzi will arrive in Tianyuan soon, you have to have a good chat then, you know? ”

Hou Qingrou's words are very clear, she just wants Nangong Xiaoxiao to marry Yi Qiu, who has never met.

Of course, the matchmaker this time is also Hou Zhengfeng, but he couldn't think of it, but he couldn't wait, Nangong Courtyard hooked up with the Yi family, so that he could soar. Of course, Nangong Yunmu and Hou Zhengfeng also knew about this, and now Hou Zhengfeng is no longer there.

Hou Qingrou, who felt the crisis, of course hoped to hook up with the Yi family as soon as possible. After all, they only used each other to take advantage of each other, and Nangong Courtyard only promised Lingling to monitor Jiang Qiaoqiao and the demon girl at that time, so as to ensure that Linglong Zhu was not taken away.

To this day, the life and death of Zhengfeng are unknown, which makes the Nangong courtyard full of dangers, and only by finding a strong backer can you feel at ease. I can only pray that my daughter can be with Yi Qiu, the second son of the Yi family.

Nangong looked at his mother with a smile, not knowing what to do.

"Xiaoxiao, now Nangong Courtyard needs a strong backer, do you know? Your uncle has someone who dares to kill, do you think Nangong Courtyard can still be as formidable as before? You can see if you look at the east of the city today, Tianyuan is about to change. Hou Qingrou spoke bitterly and persuaded her.

Although Nangong Xiaoxiao had a lot of reluctance in her heart, she had never seen her mother so worried, maybe she really needed the Liaocheng Yi family to keep Nangong Courtyard?

"Mother, I listen to you" Nangong smiled and lowered her head, despite all her helplessness, she gritted her teeth in response.

"Okay, it's late, go back and rest" Hou Qingrou said, and your daughter walked out of the study with each other.

In the quiet corridor, Nangong Yunmu turned his back to them and didn't look back: "Xiaoxiao, dad is sorry for you"

He came out first mainly because he couldn't open his mouth, and he was afraid that Nangong Xiaoxiao would not agree, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only wait here. As soon as he came out, Hou Qingrou certainly knew his intentions, this is what people often call tacit understanding.

Nangong smiled and let go of Hou Qingrou's hand, making a look of indifference, in fact, she was now overwhelmed by countless sorrows in her heart, and she had to be used as a bargaining chip for the rest of her life to save the status of Nangong Courtyard, but as Nangong Yunmu's daughter, she didn't seem to have the right to refute.

Since she can't refute it, then why struggle, she walked into Nangong Yunmu and pretended to smile easily: "Dad, you don't have to say I'm sorry, you are also for my good, maybe the second son of the Yi family is the type I like to play?"

When Nangong Yunmu heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he was afraid to smile and disagree at first, but now it's okay.

"Okay, it's late, don't talk about it, I have to go to the suburbs tomorrow......"

Nangong Yunmu said and left the corridor, and Hou Qingrou and Nangong smiled and left.

As soon as a few people left the small courtyard, on the other side outside the study, Ling Gaoyuan came out of the flowers and trees with a wicked grin, patted the sleeve of his robe and said coldly: "Hmph, I still want her to marry the Yi family, and I want to see if someone marries you."

"What Ling Gongzi said is yes, it's a pity that this beautiful cousin wants to marry someone else. As soon as Ling Gaoyuan's words fell, a familiar voice suddenly remembered behind him.

"Meng Xiang, aren't you, aren't you burned to death?" Ling Gaoyuan was frightened: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Dream grinned: "Of course it's a human, Lao Tzu has a big life, and he Xuemei escaped when he caught fire, but she was injured a little." ”

Meng Xiang's heart was like a knife when he said this, and he couldn't wait to dismantle the Ling Plateau in front of him and cramp his bones. Originally, he was going to kill him, but after hearing what he said just now, he temporarily changed his mind, that is, to make the Nangong courtyard chaotic.

"My cousin, is he okay?" Ling Gaoyuan asked with concern, but the picture of forcing her some time ago flashed in his mind, and he secretly mocked Meng Xiang in his heart.

"It's okay, she's fine, yes you just said. It also depends on whether people are willing to marry your cousin, what does it mean?" Meng Xiang asked tentatively.

At this time, the two walked to the secret place and chatted again, Ling Gaoyuan thought for a while and asked, "Meng Xiang, can I trust you?"

"What are you kidding, I've been in Nangong Courtyard for two years, right? You still can't trust me?" Meng Xiang said with a pat on his chest.

"Actually, actually, I've liked my cousin since I was a child, but now that she wants to marry someone else, how can I stop it?" Ling Gaoyuan was a little embarrassed.

"Isn't it, are you kidding?" Meng Xiang was really shocked, this bastard is really not human, it seems that Ling Gaoyuan is as romantic as a dog behind the south of the city, it is indeed worthy of the name, and his cousins dare to think about it, this is not something that ordinary people can come up with.

"Say, what's the solution?" Ling Gaoyuan was anxious, in a few days, the Yi family's son would come, but it would be too late, he couldn't look down on it, what if he saw it?

Meng Xiang pondered: "There is still a way, but it is a bit of a beast. He said close to his ear and said, "Won't it be over to charm her and take her chastity?"

"I'll go, this can't be done, you can't kill me if someone finds me" Although Ling Gaoyuan said this, he still wanted to be fascinated a little bit in his heart: "But you don't want to keep talking." ”

"You Ling Gongzi are so smart, you can't have heard of the Ecstasy Three-Stage Grass, right?" Meng Xiang frowned and glared.

Ecstasy Sanduan grass is a rare herb, as long as the fire is lit to produce smoke, the smell of smoke makes people weak, and there is also an aphrodisiac effect.

"Of course I've heard of that thing, and I'll tell you the truth, I really have a little bit of it. Just ......"

"No, do you have this? I heard that there are also wipes of people's memories, which means that they can't remember anything that happened during the time when this medicine was addicted. Meng Xiang interrupted Ling Gaoyuan's words and advocated the effect of this Ecstasy Three-Stage Grass, of course, it was impossible to erase the memory. In case Ling Gaoyuan really believes it, he can only talk nonsense now.

"Well, it's really" Ling Gaoyuan patted Meng Xiang on the shoulder, and at this time he secretly said in his heart: Lao Tzu used it to push down your horse's son back then, it seems that she can't remember, otherwise how can she act as if it's okay? .

Meng Xiang resisted the urge to slash him with a knife and asked, "What about ?......?"

"It's just tonight, you keep watch outside for me, you can't run away if something happens, you know?" Ling Gaoyuan said in a cold voice, a sinister smile appeared on his face under the faint light.
