The council hall was silent, and the occasional sound of someone holding a teacup and a slight cough sounded like thunder in the ears.

Xue Yihan frowned, and looked at the note in his hand puzzled, even Bai Yu and Lu Fei were also extremely surprised, it stands to reason that Su Yifei is a senior in the rivers and lakes, and he is quite famous, he shouldn't be so gullible, let alone the father-son relationship between him and Xue Yihan?

Bai Yu quietly pushed Xue Yihan, who was in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, is your father biological?"

Xue Yihan frowned, and whispered: "You and Lu Fei know my identity, the less others know, the better, he thought I died ten years ago, so naturally he won't recognize me." ”

Bai Yu made a clear gesture, turned his head and whispered a few words to Lu Fei, and from time to time he also beat Lu Fei's brain, until Lu Fei couldn't help but nod his head before he would stop, and the surrounding people couldn't hear the words of the three people clearly, seeing their solemn appearance, they thought it would help this incident.

Sun Chenggui sat on the main seat, whispering to Sun Fu beside him from time to time, seeing that Xue Yihan and the three of them finished talking, he asked with concern: "This time the matter is extremely strange, that fake Xue Yihan was caught three days ago, and there is another you here, I'm afraid that your enemy wants to blame you, think about who wants to kill you?"

Xue Yihan's face gradually showed a touch of sadness, and said with a wry smile: "Except for Feng Wuxian who was smashed by me to break the conspiracy, Su Yifei who didn't want to see me from the moment we met." ”

Sun Chenggui shook his head and said: "It won't be Su Yifei, in Suzhou, the Su family is a famous family, and the door is extremely heavy, he just wants to deal with you, it is impossible to use the reputation of the Su family as a bet, it seems that it can only be the wind of the Demon Sect." ”

"yes, you can't find a second person besides him?" everyone chimed in.

"I need to get into town as soon as possible to figure things out. ”

"You can't go. ”

As soon as Xue Ying heard that Xue Yihan was going to enter the city, he suddenly stood up and said with concern: "Now there are many people in the city who want to arrest you, even among the people who have been ruined by real lewd demons, there are also famous families, and if you go, you will be a wolf into the tiger's den, and you can't tell it at all." ”

Seeing that Xue Ying cared about him so much, a trace of warmth rose in his heart, and he smiled sadly: "Instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative, I will not be stupid enough to pass like this, who am I? ”

Snow Shadow snorted, clenched her teeth, and said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”

"No, I can't. ”

"No, you can't. ”

Xue Zhan and Sun Chenggui spoke almost at the same time, Sun Chenggui glanced at Xue Zhan, and then said: "I have a small friendship with your father, if you make a little mistake in my territory, where can I put my uncle's face." ”

Xue Zhan also dissuaded: "Sister, now Suzhou City has more or less heard about Xue Yihan's connections, if you appear, how can Xue Yihan concentrate on finding the thief, that is, Bai Yu and Lu Fei can't appear together." ”

"Neither can we. Bai Yu and Lu Fei asked in amazement.

Feng Qing, who had not spoken on the side, stood up and said categorically: "Of course not, whether it is Su Yifei or Feng Wuxi, they have seen you and know the relationship between you, if you follow after Brother Xue changes his appearance, wouldn't it be a leak, so no one can know how Brother Xue looks when he comes out of Shuizhai to put on makeup, and who can guarantee that no one will report the news." ”

As soon as Feng Qing finished speaking, the faces of most of the people in the conference hall became extremely ugly, even Sun Chenggui was a little annoyed, and then returned to normal, and looked at everyone in the conference hall coldly, more than a dozen leaders were sitting or lying or reclining, and they returned to normal in just a moment, as if they hadn't heard the conversation just now.

At this point, Xue Yihan also knew that it was all for him, and also helped persuade Xue Ying, Xue Ying lost his temper and refused to agree, and in the end it was the two sides that took the middle, Xue Yihan acted alone, Xue Ying and Bai Yu and Lu Fei went to Suzhou City to inquire about the news, and the two sides agreed to connect the code to identify each other.

After talking about Xue Yihan, the real discussion began in the council hall, and they also knew that it was not appropriate to be here anymore, so they gave their hands and said goodbye, Sun Chenggui nodded slightly, Xue Yihan withdrew from the council hall with Bai Yu and Lu Fei, Xue Ying whispered a few words to Xue Zhan, and ran out in a hurry, leaving only Xue Zhan and Feng Qing to discuss inside.

Walking out of the council room, you will see a long staircase, seventy-two steps, undulating like waves, javelins, standing majestically, very magnificent.

Xue Yihan and the others went down to the bottom and walked towards a sparsely populated place in front of them, and when they came to a green grassland that was obviously pressed by people, several people looked at each other and sat cross-legged.

Xue Ying also ignored his clothes, sat next to Xue Yihan everywhere, and looked at Xue Yihan with a smile.

Xue Yihan was a little nervous when he was watched, glared fiercely at the two gloating friends beside him, and said slightly: "Xue Ying, there are a lot of questions in the council hall just now that I can't speak, since I am here, I want to ask." ”

Snow Shadow held his cheeks in his hand, his eyes were wide open, and he said playfully, "Call me Xiaoying." ”

"Okay, okay, call you Xiaoying, call you Xiaoying. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

Xue Yihan said beggingly, causing Bai Yu Lu Fei to laugh loudly, and Xue Ying was also smiling like a flower, and said softly: "Don't always listen to the wind and rain, although Uncle Sun is a water thief, he also has his own principles, my father and Uncle Sun were soldiers together, and they had a lifelong friendship, otherwise my brother and I can live here with confidence." ”

"Understood. ”

Xue Yihan nodded and said, "No wonder the guards here are so energetic, even if it is defense, it is also good." ”

Xue Ying also said appreciatively: "Uncle Sun is a good hand at training soldiers, so this time my brother and I came to invite him out of the mountain, and Fengqing is also for this purpose." ”

"The imperial court is weak now, and the heroes of the Quartet are ready to move, is the Xue family also going to..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know. Xue Ying understood what Xue Yihan meant, frowned, shook his head and sighed.

Xue Yihan didn't ask any more, even Bai Yu and Lu Fei also kept silent and didn't mention this matter anymore, the four of them talked to each other about everything after parting, that is, all kinds of troubles on the road were revealed by Bai Yu Lu Fei, Xue Ying laughed when he heard it, and looked at a few people laughing happily, and the haze in Xue Yihan's heart disappeared.

There are still a long days ahead, who can calculate everything clearly.

Cherishing the moment is the most important thing, Xue Yihan looked at the snow shadow who laughed from time to time, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

······

In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of dawn rose to the horizon and shone into the world, Xue Yihan and the others quietly entered Suzhou City from Taihu Lake.

Suzhou city is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is divided into four cities, east and west, north and south, the roads in the city are staggered, the water veins are vertical and horizontal, the east city is a very prosperous area, there are the most luxurious restaurants in the whole Suzhou, there are also the most powerful and wealthy eunuch merchants, martial arts famous houses.

Known as the first restaurant in Suzhou, Juxianju, up to seven floors, each floor is decorated with a solemn style, everything, the first three floors are divided into dozens of small rooms, each room is a small kitchen, prepare a dish, from the fourth floor, it will be decorated extremely elegant, each floor also has a special artist performance program, there are singing Su dialect, there are singing drums, there are singing grievances, there are more street performances, eating, drinking and having fun, so some people say: "Once you enter the Juxian Residence, you will come to Suzhou Mansion." ”

Although it was morning, the restaurant was already crowded, shouting and shouting one after another, Xue Ying dressed in men's clothes, with Bai Yu and Lu Fei all the way to the fifth floor, just entered the fifth floor, I saw a sweet smile aunt walked forward with a smile, smiled at Xue Ying and said: "Xue Gongzi, I haven't seen you here for a few days? What do you want to eat this time? Our store has added a few new dishes today, there are chopped pepper fish heads, steamed scallops..."

Xue Ying smiled and said to the woman: "Sister Fen, your consumption here is too expensive, and Young Master Ben is not so squandered no matter how rich he is, he can't afford to eat." ”

Xue Ying said as she walked into a private room, the woman called Sister Fen followed closely behind, and after entering the private room, she tightly plugged in the door bolt, and before Bai Yu and the two of them could make any moves, Sister Fen hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Xue Ying, during which there was also a sound of loud bargaining, and Bai Yu Lu was confused.

The two chatted for a long time, and then Sister Fen got up with a smile, and then said loudly: "Okay, three guest officers, please wait, the meal will come in a while." ”

Sister Fen opened the door of the private room and walked out, Bai Yu and Lu Fei looked at Xue Ying with some curiosity, Xue Ying poured a glass of boiling water to herself, and said lightly: "Sister Fen is from my mother's side, and she was only sent here to run the business on the fifth floor three years ago. ”

"Oh. The two nodded, and didn't ask any more, after all, this is someone else's privacy, and it's not easy to inquire casually.

The three of them sat for a long time, and Sister Fen arranged for someone to serve the food, a table full of wine and food, many of which were things that Bai Yu Lu Fei had never seen before, the two of them were hungry, and one of them poured a glass of wine, regardless of Xue Ying's stunned expression, one by one put down the chopsticks like flying, gobbling them up.

Snow Shadow couldn't help but shake his head, the smile on his face suddenly increased a little, picked up the two crabs in front of him and handed them to the two, the two took the crabs and sent them directly to their mouths.

"Click. ”

"Oops. ”

Lu Fei hurriedly covered his mouth and pouted, "My teeth, my teeth." ”

"Hahahaha. Snow Shadow looked at Lu Fei's expression and laughed.

Lu Fei twisted his neck, rubbed his somewhat numb mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Since I was a child, everyone has eaten leftovers and cold rice, and I only ate a few days with Brother Xue, so many people I don't know, tell me what you say." ”

"Okay, good, I'll teach you how to eat. ”

Snow Shadow also knew the identities of the two of them, one master was called Hanako, and the other master was a thief, and he no longer laughed at them, and taught them how to eat crabs bit by bit.

The three of them were eating vigorously, and the door of the private room was opened from the outside, and then a sneaky middle-aged man walked in, the man had a beard, and the clothes on his body smelled faintly, and the three of them showed disgusted expressions.

Bai Yu muttered: "Big brother, you just want to change your appearance and don't have to be so bitter, right?"

The man's eyes were dripping, and he didn't answer, and Xue Ying's heart moved slightly, and he said: "I don't forget each other." ”

The sneaky man shook his head again, slowly stretched out his right hand, revealing a piece of ancient jade, and said hoarsely: "This is the Longque jade pendant, do you want to buy it?"

"What, the one who sells jade pendants. Lu Fei didn't feel angry when he heard it, so he picked up the man and pushed him outside, muttering as he pushed back, "Let's go, we're waiting for someone, don't buy anything." ”

After the man left, as soon as Lu Fei closed the door, he was about to sit down and eat the gluttonous crab, when he suddenly heard Xue Ying ask, "He just said Longque Yupei?"

"yes, yes. Lu Fei ate the crab in his mouth and replied vaguely.

Xue Ying looked at the indifferent two, couldn't help but pat his forehead, hated iron and steel, and asked, "Do you know how popular Long Que Yupei is now?"

Bai Yu and the others shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know, Bai Yu looked at the snow shadow whose expression changed, and comforted: "Isn't it just a piece of jade pendant? ”

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat. Snow Shadow held her forehead, not wanting to talk to the two.

She also knew that the person just now was afraid that he was selling fakes, if it was true, he would have been killed a long time ago, how could it be her turn, but when she thought of Long Que Yupei, Xue Ying couldn't hold back the thoughts in her heart.

Snow Shadow's thoughts were chaotic, and Bai Yu and Lu Fei were gobbling up the leftovers that they had eaten, and they were burping one by one while holding their stomachs.

The door was pushed open again, and a handsome scholar in a blue shirt walked in, the scholar held a folding fan in his hand, calmly saluted the three of them, and said softly: "I've seen three guest officers, I wonder if the three guest officers would like to listen to music?"

"No, no, no. ”

Bai Yu lay on the chair next to him, panting and asked, "Why do people here like to enter other people's private rooms without knocking?"

Snow Shadow looked helplessly at the ugly Bai Yu and Lu Fei, smiled at the scholar and said, "My brother is right, he didn't even knock on the door, he was a scholar in vain. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of the scholar's mouth, and he arched his hand at the snow shadow and said, "Sorry for the interruption." ”

The scholar turned around and walked out of the private room, closed the door and walked towards the singing place on the fifth floor.

The scholar walked to the singing place, and there were four tables of people scattered on the audience stage, one of which was Su Han and Su Shan from Suzhou, the other two tables sat two big-bellied merchants, and the last table sat a slightly thin middle-aged man, who wore a string of large gold chains around his neck, giving people a feeling of being a nouveau riche.

The scholar sat down in the singing position, moistened his throat, and began to sing.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. ”

"My Fair Lady, good gentleman. ”

"Jagged wattles, flowing left and right. ”

"My Fair Lady, I covet it. ”

···

A song "Guan Ju" slowly echoed on the fifth floor of the restaurant, like crying and complaining, like resentment.
