Xiahoudun's expression was dim under the light of the candlelight, but the gold threads on his body were shining, as if he was in a different mood.

"I wonder if the lord has any clues?" Bai Junqian asked slowly, "...... about the murderer?"

Xiahoudun paused, pressed his temples and said, "You don't need to know this, I came this time to ask the adults to help me catch that person when the murderer next acts." ”

Hearing this, Bai Junqian and his party did not answer, and glanced at each other.

"Please, gentlemen. The eldest lady also spoke, with a deep sense of helplessness mixed with sorrow, and said, "The lord has already lost three sons, and he can't lose them again." ”

Bai Junqian hesitated for a moment, his gaze fell on the side, and his tone was still steady: "We still need to discuss, after all, the purpose of our coming here is not like this." ”

That Xiahou nodded weakly, his expression was full of defeat, but in the face of Bai Junqian and them, he still maintained a condescending appearance, he was born noble, and he enjoyed glory and wealth all his life, and he will be like this in the next time.

In the middle of the morning, after Xiahoudun finished drinking the tea in his hand, he was ready to leave the courtyard.

"I'm sorry for you. The eldest lady bowed to Bai Junqian and the group and left, but her eyebrows, which were hidden in the shadows of the lights just now, seemed to be cold.

When Xiahoudun and them still disappeared from Bai Junqian's field of vision, the atmosphere eased slightly.

"We can't help him, we don.......'t know," the letter blurted out, and hurriedly stopped when the words came to his lips. When he saw Bai Junqian thinking about something, he shut up.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Junqian tilted his head slightly and said with a helpless look: "Although we don't know what secrets there are after these incidents, since this Xiahoudun is willing to put down his identity and come to us, if we refuse, I'm afraid our fate will not be much better." ”

Lingxi hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Master, there is one more thing I don't understand, that Xiahou Dun is the lord of the Xia family, why do you want us to help, it stands to reason that their Xia family is naturally a master." ”

"This should have something to do with the secret behind this incident......" Bai Junqian said with a frown.

Chang Yuechen suddenly laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous at this time, and said, "Alas, we have to get involved in this complicated matter. ”

Hua Wei Immortal also chuckled, and looked away at Biwa Feiyong in the distance, "...... From one small clue one can see what is coming. ”

Day 2.

The sun is as cruel as it is beautiful, and it is clear that the rain has stopped these days, but when the sun comes out, it drags the trick of the streamer on one side to make the world shine, while on the other side it is desperate and ruthless, leaving despair in the damp corner.

Eventually the sun will dissipate, it will come from the darkness, and eventually it will return to the darkness, and this night will be the same as any night, the same darkness, the same cold, the same sleeplessness.

Xiahoudun and his family were all crowded in the ancestral hall of the Xia family, and the guards guarded three layers inside and three layers outside, and Xiahoudun paced back and forth in a restless way.

He looked at his family closely, as if he was afraid that they would die in front of his eyes in the next moment, and Bai Junqian and his party stood beside them, silent.

Every corner of the ancestral hall was pasted with charms, and there were guards, and black shadows fell to the ground one after another, like a gloomy cloud that did not dissipate.

The candle flame jumped in the corner, as if to provide a vibrant target for the dreary night, and it seemed that time was moving obsessively forward under the active impetus of the candle flame.

Time kept passing, and Xiahoudun's face became more and more pale, as if it was not time that had passed, but his blood and his life.

The eldest lady approached him, put her hand on his back and patted him lightly and said, "Master, you can rest for a while, just leave it to your subordinates here." ”

Xiahoudun looked at her with affectionate eyes. But the death of those people flashed in his mind, that is, he immediately shook his head repeatedly, and his eyes gradually became chaotic, as if he had been on the verge of collapse because he had been in a high tension like a soldier for a long time, and he said a little stubbornly: "No, I must protect you and not let you be hurt in any way." ”

"But sir, your body will not be able to bear it if you continue like this. The eldest lady said with a sad face.

At this time, Xia Houdun raised his eyes, his pupils seemed to hide a mist, and the complex rings of yellow and black concealed extremely hesitant light, those lights were intermittent, and it seemed that they would be torn off at any time, like a rope that was too tight, and would break at any time.

The second lady and the third lady also got up and said, "Master, my sister is right, you can rest first." ”

Xiahoudun looked at them hesitantly, and then looked at the guards in the room and Bai Junqian with a solicitative gaze, his expression was wandering, and his body was motionless, as if he was frozen.

At this time, his daughter approached, with some crying in her voice, and said, "Daddy, you speak, what's wrong with you?"

Xiahoudun didn't react, as if he was immersed in a long dream, and he unconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth for a long time, and said slowly: "What's wrong? What's wrong with me?"

The eldest lady and the daughter glanced at each other, she slowed down her speech, held Xiahoudun's arm and said, "Daddy, you can sit down and rest for a while." ”

Xiahoudun has lost his mind because of exhaustion, and it will be useless to hold on so strongly. Turning his head sideways, he saw the eldest lady smiling gently, and then went to the couch with the support of his daughter, but in the process, his feet were soft, and his body suddenly leaned forward, and he was about to fall, Xiahoudun hurriedly wanted to hold on to something, but he found that his daughter next to him suddenly seemed to be gone.

At this moment, several of them suddenly went out together, the ancestral hall fell into darkness, all the guards breathed tightly, and the sound of drawing their swords was like the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

The danger seemed to be imminent, the tense aura rushed to the face, everyone's eyes widened, and the flames in Bai Junqian's hands had begun to brighten, and at this moment, a scream exploded violently: "Blood...... Blood......"

Bai Junqian and the others had already lit the flames at this time, and the ancestral hall was brightened here, only to see a woman sitting on the ground, spreading her hands full of blood, and her eyes were chaotic and shouting: "Blood!

After seeing this scene, everyone was also shocked, and their pupils dilated.

On the ground of the ancestral hall, there was a person sitting on the seat who was being sung, and that person was the daughter who was holding Xiahoudun just now.

And the one who kept talking about blood was a personal maid next to the daughter.

"Ruan Cui, calm down!" Xiahoudun's voice trembled, and he asked, "What happened just now? Did you see someone?"
