On July 20, the Xiao Mansion had already begun to get busy, but in the Plum Garden, as usual, none of the subordinates who were arranged to serve Old Taijun Liang here had been replaced.

Shen Guhong came to the plum garden early, and after greeting the old lady, he went to Mifang. Over the past few days, Shen Guhong has found more and more that the moment he left Mifang, the thoughts in his heart were indescribable.

The plum trees in the plum orchard have long been shady, and their broad leaves are thick and abundant, blocking out the scorching sun. Under the plum blossom tree, the grass is green everywhere, at this moment, I can only see a man in a green shirt and a woman in a blue shirt sitting together, not Mi Fang and Shen Guhong, who else can there be?

"Brother Shen, grandma's birthday is left in six days, what do you say we should give as a gift?" Mi Fang suddenly asked. Only then did Shen Guhong react, at this moment, his identity had been secretly decided, and the gift he wanted to give was naturally extraordinary.

Shen Guhong said: "Do you think this will work?"

Shen Guhong took out several night pearls from the underground palace under Feiyun City, and at the moment this one in his hand was the size of a goose egg, in today's earthly world, there is absolutely no night pearl of this size.

Mi Fang said: "This is good, but I don't think grandma will be happy." ”

Shen Guhong glanced at Mi Fang suspiciously, and Mi Fang said: "Grandma, as the first person of the Xiao family, what treasures has she not seen? Alas, if there is any regret, it is that she did not see my mother again. ”

Shen Guhong said: "We can't do this either. ”

Mi Fang nodded: "So I don't want to give any expensive gifts, I just want her old man to be happy." ”

Shen Guhong said: "Okay, on the birthday of the old lady, you personally cook for her and cook a table of good dishes, I think her old man will be very happy." ”

When Mi Fang heard this, she immediately said happily: "Yes, with my craftsmanship, my grandmother will definitely like it, Brother Shen, you are still smart." ”

Shen Guhong pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, the two turned around together, but saw Wen Yongjie walking to the gate of the plum garden, there was no one guarding the door at the moment, and there was no way for people to come in to report, so they had to walk around there, hesitating.

"Brother Wen, is there something wrong?" Shen Guhong walked to the gate of the garden with Mi Fang and said with a smile.

Wen Yongjie said: "In the past few days, my injuries have almost healed. Thinking that it was close to the old lady's residence, he came over to say hello. ”

Mi Fang said: "Grandma said that the people of the Xiao family are people in the rivers and lakes, and there are not many rules, so Wen Zhutou comes in directly." ”

Wen Yongjie heard Mi Fang's words, and then walked in. Mi Fang and Shen Guhong led him to the back hall, where Mrs. Liang planted two pots of sunflowers, which bloomed in full bloom in this season. It's just that the old lady looked at the flourishing flowers, but sighed slightly, thinking about it, although the prosperity is prosperous, after all, he can't escape the fate of withering, and he can't escape a pinch of loess after a hundred years of life.

"Grandma!" Mi Fang's voice was crisp and good, but also had a bit of coquettish taste, and the old lady heard this voice, and there was a kind smile on her face, and she replied. Mi Fang ran over directly and threw herself into the arms of the old man.

"Okay, this kid, stand up, there are guests!" said the old lady, but the hand holding Mi Fang did not let go, and her eyes were full of doting.

"It's okay, they're all their own people, not outsiders. Mi Fang's voice was extremely sweet.

The old lady couldn't be happier, with a smile on her face. Wen Yongjie bowed deeply to the old lady and said, "Junior Wen Yongjie, I have seen the old lady." ”

"No need to be polite. The old lady took Mi Fang's hand, walked into the hall with Wen Yongjie and Shen Guhong, and ordered the subordinates to serve tea, and then chatted about family life, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. But at this moment, Xiao Rongrong hurriedly walked in. The old lady frowned slightly, she knew that Xiao Rongrong was in such a hurry, something must be wrong.

Seeing this, Wen Yongjie stood up, said "goodbye", and went out of the garden first.

"What's wrong?" asked the old lady.

Xiao Rongrong said: "Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin went out to play the day before yesterday and didn't come back until today. ”

"What's the matter? These two children are not a day or two of play, maybe they will come back by themselves in a while. The old lady listened and said.

Xiao Rongrong was still frowning, and the old lady raised her head and said, "It seems that things are not simple. ”

Xiao Rongrong said: "I went to the front lobby today, and I heard my father and second uncle talking, and I knew that something happened to them. ”

The old lady's shriveled eyes suddenly revealed two sharp lights, and he said lightly: "Who is so bold and dares to treat the people of my Xiao family?"

Xiao Rongrong said: "It's the Seven Monsters of the Yangtze River!"

The old lady's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said, "It's them." It's just that these robbers haven't disappeared for more than three years, why did they appear again? Could it be that they still want my Xiao family to destroy them once?"

The Seven Monsters of the Yangtze River are a group of robbers on the waterway of the Yangtze River, gathering as many as 500 people to rob traders who take the waterway, and their notoriety spreads all over the country. Three years ago, Xiao Zhan led the children of the Xiao family to attack the water village of the Seven Monsters of the Yangtze River, killing three and four of the Seven Monsters, and the remaining five Monsters escaped, and since then, they have been removed from the rivers and lakes.

At that time, Ye Qianhua, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, came to Jinling in person, and gave Xiao Zhan a banner of "Justice Ling Ran", which was still in the lobby of the Xiao family. Now the remaining five monsters have made a comeback again, captured Xiao Chen's sons and daughters, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yan, and sent a letter, saying that they wanted to save the two brothers and sisters, so they asked Xiao Zhan to go to the stone mountain west of Jinling City.

When Mrs. Liang heard this, she said lightly: "Back then, the seven monsters were all beaten away by my Xiao family, but now with five clowns, they want to disturb my Xiao family, hmph, they really take themselves seriously." ”

Xiao Rongrong said: "I saw that the second uncle and father were frowning, and they had no idea in their hearts, so they came to my grandmother, grandmother, you said, what should we do now?"

Xiao Rongrong was worried about her father Xiao Zhan, so she came here, because she knew Xiao Zhan's temperament, and it was really possible to go to the stone mountain alone.

Shen Guhong opened his mouth and said: "Old lady, if you can trust it, how about leaving this matter to the younger generation to deal with?"

Old Taijun Liang glanced at Shen Guhong, then at Mi Fang, and said, "Such a predicament, tell me, how to solve it?"

Shen Guhong said: "The Seven Monsters of the Yangtze River disappeared three years ago, and they are obviously extremely afraid of Xiao Mansion, and now they dare to openly provoke Xiao Mansion, it is estimated that they have found a backer, and someone has supported them." ”

Mrs. Liang said: "Who is so bold?"

Shen Guhong said: "In the martial arts, there is a lot of respect for the Xiao Mansion, and there are indeed not many people who dare to oppose the Xiao Mansion, but there are at least two places. ”

"You mean the coffin bearer and the Yama Palace?" Rong Rong exclaimed.

Shen Guhong nodded: "The coffin bearer is just a killer organization, they only need money, so they will not be the backer of the five monsters, except for the coffin bearer, then there is only the Yama Palace." As far as I know, the Iron Pen Judge and the Multi-faceted Judge of the Yama Hall are near this Jinling City. ”

Old Taijun Liang snorted coldly and said, "The arm of this Yama Hall is too long, and it has reached out to the Xiao Mansion, so if he dares to stretch out his hand, let's cut it off." ”

Shen Guhong nodded: "Yes, that's right." ”

Old Taijun Liang said: "Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, you know so much about the Yama Palace, it is a suitable person for you to deal with them." However, this is also a matter of the Xiao Mansion, and it is impossible for the people of the Xiao family to leave it out of the way. ”

Shen Guhong nodded, and Old Taijun Liang continued: "So everything in this matter depends on the decision of the head of the family." ”

Shen Guhong said: "Okay, junior, let's go find the head of the Xiao family." ”

"I'll go with you!" called Mi Fang.

Shen Guhong said softly: "It's okay, you just wait for me in Xiao Mansion, it won't take half a day, I will definitely be able to solve the problem." ”

Although Mi Fang was worried, she didn't want Shen Guhong to worry, so she nodded.

Shen Guhong returned to his residence, Wen Yongjie was already waiting at the door, and said, "When I came back, I had already heard from the Xiao family. ”

Shen Guhong said: "So you are going to go this time?"

Wen Yongjie's eyes flashed, and he said, "I guess you can guess who is doing the trick, and the account of their sneak attack on me last time should be settled!"

Shen Guhong put the dark iron box on his back and said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”

Above the lobby of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Chen, Xiao Bin, Xiao Jian and other important figures of the Xiao family were all there, and Mo Qingfeng, as Xiao Zhan's friend, also participated in the discussion of this matter. Now, whether it is fighting alone or in a group, the Xiao family has a huge advantage. However, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yan are in the hands of the enemy, if they don't care about the lives of these two people, then what kind of decent family can they be? It is everyone sitting together, but no one can come up with a good plan.

At this moment, Shen Guhong came to the front of the lobby and said loudly: "Shen Guhong asks to see the head of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Zhan's impression of Shen Guhong was still good, and when he heard Shen Guhong's voice, he said, "Come in!"

At this time, he was discussing a major matter, but Xiao Zhan let Shen Guhong come in directly, Xiao Jian's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned his eyelids down. Shen Guhong entered the lobby and saluted Xiao Zhan: "The junior has seen the head of the Xiao family. ”

Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "Shen Xian's nephew came here at this time, I don't know what is important?"

Shen Guhong said: "The juniors are here to ask the head of the family, and the matter of the stone mountain can be let the juniors go through." ”

Mo Qingfeng said: "This is not a small matter, if you are not completely sure, you should step back." ”

Xiao Jian said lightly: "This is the Xiao family's business, don't bother Brother Shen." ”

Shen Guhong said: "If you have a good method, then I have a lot of trouble, if there is no good strategy, I may be able to help." ”

Xiao Zhan said: "What is a good way for the virtuous nephew, why don't you say it and discuss it?"

Shen Guhong said: "To be honest, the younger generation doesn't have any good methods, they can only see the moves, but I think there won't be any good ways to discuss here, why not go directly to the stone mountain?"

Xiao Zhan and others are all knowledgeable people, and they have always paid attention to planning and then acting, and now they can hear Shen Guhong's words, and they are all secretly talking about it, saying that Shen Guhong is too arrogant.

Xiao Jian only smiled faintly, but the disdain hidden at the bottom was something that no one could see. Mo Qingfeng said: "That means you are not sure at all?"
