Xianggu looked at Shi Yu and asked, "Couldn't Shi Gongzi guess?"

Shi Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Is it possible, can the position of the city lord be handed over to his daughter to inherit?"

"Why can't it?" Xiang Gu took it for granted, "Our city lord has no son, the eldest lady has fallen out of favor, and the second lady has always wanted to have a son, but there is no movement, in my opinion, it is a bad thing that has been done too much, and God is also punishing her!"

"Bad things?" Shi Yu asked curiously, "What bad things has she done?"

I think if it is a simple competition for favor, it should not be something that angers people and resents it.

Xiang Gu got up and walked to Shi Yu's side close to his ear, and said very quietly: "I heard that she killed her father, that is, the umbrella maker, as for whether it is true or not, I don't know." ”

After speaking, Xiang Gu sat back down, "If this is true, I think God's punishment for her is too small!"

"Do you often talk about her?"

"Of course, everyone doesn't dare to say it, and secretly doesn't know how to say it, who can stop it if her mouth grows on everyone's body?

Shi Yu's face was meaningful, "It seems that the people of Juecheng have a lot of opinions about her." ”

"That's not it, how good the eldest lady was to everyone in the past, no matter who has any difficulties, as long as the eldest lady comes out, just go and tell her, she has nothing to help, but now? ”

"By the way," Shi Yu asked as he poured wine for Xiang Gu, "Do you believe in some gods or something?"

Xianggu shook her head and said, "It's not a god, Shi Gongzi doesn't know anything, our Juecheng, in addition to the city lord, the biggest is the magician, and the big and small affairs related to Juecheng, the city lord has to ask the great magician." ”

"Believe in magic. ”

"That's right," Xiang Gu continued, "It is said that Juecheng suffered a great disaster a long, long time ago and almost destroyed the city, but it was a magician who saved Juecheng, and since then, the status of a magician is almost the same as that of the city lord. ”

"That's right. ”

Shi Yu looked thoughtful and sat like this.

Seeing that Shi Yu didn't ask her anything anymore, Xiang Gu enjoyed the food and wine in front of her with peace of mind.

After chatting with Xianggu, Shi Yu walked around the city casually a few times, and only quietly sneaked back to Wu's mansion at night.

Wu Yue asked unhappily when he saw Shi Yu coming back, "Where have you been this day?"

"I'm sorry," Shi Yu said slightly apologetically, "I went out to investigate casually, and forgot to let the people in the house tell you." ”

"Forget it," Wu Yue waved his hand, "That woman often sends people to monitor my neighborhood, when you go out and come in, ......"

"Don't worry, I'm very careful, I won't be detected, I also saw it, the guy in charge of monitoring, didn't pay much attention, it seems that he has been sent to monitor here for a long time, and he is a little tired. ”

Wu Yue nodded, "That's good." ”

"By the way, Lord Wu Yue, what is the result of your discussion with the eldest lady?"

Wu Yue motioned for Shi Yu to come into the room and speak.

The two entered the house, and even in his own home, Wu Yue looked cautious.

"I told the eldest sister what you think, the eldest sister is willing to cooperate, after you enter the famous garden, you will pretend to be Yan'er's guard, and if you want to do anything, you must get Yan'er's consent. ”

Shi Yu nodded, "Yes, in order to save my sister, I will definitely cooperate." ”

"This is what you promised, but don't mess around, now most of the people in the famous garden have become that woman's lackeys, and you have to be careful with every move. ”

"Don't worry," Shi Yu assured, "You help me save my little sister, how can I come here?"

"That's good, Yan'er will come back to the house tomorrow, and then you will exchange identities with the guard next to her, it just so happens that this guard of hers was sent in to her, and not many people have seen it." ”

Shi Yu nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

was rescued by Qi Xuan and Luo Hanyu from the ancient temple, not only Chu Junheng, but also Luo Tianqi's uncle Huo Lao,

"Prince Qi Xuan?"

Huo Lao looked at Qi Xuan, surprised and guilty, after all, when he was about to take Luo Tianqi away, he promised Qi Xuan that he would never let Luo Tianqi help Tang Huaigu again.

Chu Junheng saw a trace of surprise flashing in Qi Xuan's eyes, and at the same time a trace of self-shame, not long after the Chu family arrived in his hands, he was controlled by Tang Huaigu.

"Young Master Chu, are you okay?"

"I ...... I'm fine. ”

Qi Xuan nodded, "Since it's okay, let's get out of here as soon as possible." ”

Coming out of the ancient temple, all the people who were originally guarding this place have returned to the Western Heavens, including Luo Tianqi.

Huo Lao stood in front of his nephew's corpse, trembling, not knowing how to speak.

Qi Xuan approached and spoke, "Luo Tianqi was killed by me, if Senior Huo wants to take revenge, after everything is over, even if he comes to me, Qi Xuan will definitely not avoid it." ”

Huo Lao shook his head and said, "That's it, how many things he has done these days, I know in my heart, how many people he has killed, I know better, I have no way to stop him, I can also imagine such a result, I don't blame you." ”

"Senior Huo," Qi Xuan frowned, "Tang Huaigu will not allow anyone who is not under his control to exist, what are your plans......?"

"Leave me alone. Huo Lao interrupted Qi Xuan's words, "You have more important things to do, I don't want to be his enemy, so I can't help you, but don't worry, even if I don't become an enemy of him, I won't be in the same league with him." ”

Qi Xuan saw that Huo Lao already had his own plans.

"In this way, Senior Huo, take care, we will take the first step. ”

Huo Lao nodded, "Let's go, I hope you can all go well." ”

Qi Xuan knew what Huo Lao wanted to do next, so he didn't stay long, and turned around and motioned for Luo Hanyu and Chu Junheng to leave together.

After some distance from the ancient temple, Luo Hanyu finally couldn't help but speak.

"Qi Xuan, is it really okay for us to let Senior Huo go there alone? Although he tried his best to cover it up, you should be able to see it. ”

"That's right, his martial arts have been nullified. Qi Xuan sighed, "That's why I didn't force him to go with us, if his martial arts were not wasted, Tang Huaigu might have killed him, but he is just an ordinary old man now, Tang Huaigu should not kill him, after all, he used to be a friend." ”

Luo Hanyu looked back worriedly, "Okay, I hope Tang Huaigu still has a little bit of humanity." ”

"Where are we going?" Chu Junheng asked aloud, "Do you know how the Chu family is doing now?"

Qi Xuan stopped and said to Chu Junheng: "We are going to save the owner of Liulin Villa now, and we need your help." ”

"Me?"

Luo Hanyu explained aloud, "That's the case, the owner of Liu Zhuang is locked in a drum tower on a hill, through my understanding, it is a drum tower of organs, although there are not many people guarding it, but once someone is found approaching, the people inside will immediately activate the mechanism, and the life of the owner of Liu Zhuang will not be guaranteed." ”

Chu Junheng said inexplicably, "Isn't the mechanism technique what the Liu family is good at?"

"Just because they're good at making organs doesn't mean they can't hit them, and," Luo Hanyu paused, "The mechanism of that drum tower was built by the ancestors of the Liu family." ”

Using the organs of the Liu family to kill the people of the Liu family, Chu Junheng said secretly: This Tang Huaigu is really well-intentioned.

"And how do you want me to help?"

Luo Hanyu nodded and continued to explain, "Although the drum tower mechanism is powerful, it has a shortcoming, that is, the connection port on the top of the drum tower, we hope that Chu Gongzi can shoot arrows / into that connection, if there is an obstruction there, the operation of the mechanism will be stuck, but I don't know if Chu Gongzi can do it." ”

"What are you kidding!" Chu Junheng glanced at Luo Hanyu with a dissatisfied expression, "Don't say anything else, archery, you will never find a second person in this river and lake who can surpass me." ”

"In this way, please ask Master Chu. Qi Xuan spoke up, "Let's set off as soon as possible." ”

"Wait a minute," Chu Junheng was speechless, "Where are you going?" I don't have a bow, no matter how good my bow skills are, it's useless, right?"

Luo Hanyu said, "I'll find a way to get you a bow." ”

Chu Junheng shook his head and said: "Except for the brocade owl bow, I can't use other bows, we have to go back to the Chu family, the brocade owl bow is placed in the Chu family's secret room, and now except for me, no one else can open the door of the secret room." ”

"But the Chu family is now all from Tang Huaigu, how can we get in?"

"We don't have to go in from the front, I know a place where we can go directly to our secret room, and it shouldn't alarm those people. ”

This is Chu Junheng's request, and they can only agree to it in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Okay," Qi Xuan agreed, "Let's go to the Chu family to get the bow first." ”

In this way, the three of them changed their route and went to Chu's house first.

Chu Junheng took Qi Xuan and Luo Hanyu to approach the Chu family from a remote path, and the three of them came directly to the back of the Chu family's mansion.

"From here, it's the closest to the secret room, and with the ability of the three of us, it shouldn't alarm the people inside. ”

"Then let's do it. ”

Qi Xuan said that, and the first one jumped up, followed by Chu Junheng and Luo Hanyu.

However, after they approached the secret room, they found that there were many guards around the secret room.

"How come?" Luo Hanyu was puzzled, "Could it be that they already know that we rescued Young Master Chu?"

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, I'm afraid that after I came back, Tang Huaigu was on guard." ”

"There are so many people, we have to kill them, otherwise, once alarmed, we will be in trouble. ”

Qi Xuan frowned slightly, but he couldn't have any hesitation, this was the beginning, if he hesitated, how should the next action be carried out.

"Then kill it. Qi Xuan's voice was unusually cold, he knew that maybe after everything was over, even his heart would become cold, however, he had no choice, he would eventually become the kind of person his mother wanted him to be.
