"Childe, it's time to eat. ”

After the maid Madoka brought a few bowls of steaming dishes to the wooden table, she whispered to the figure sitting not far away.

At this time, when the morning sun was rising, Xu Ming faced the warm sun, greeted the brilliant morning glow, and drew the last rune paper of this morning.

Then, he gathered the long sleeves of his wrist, got up and came to the wooden table, picked up the chopsticks and put the food in his mouth, and his handsome face showed a trace of satisfaction.

"Well, the dishes made today are good, moderately salty, and have a good taste, not bad. ”

Hearing his son-in-law's praise, Madoka's little baby fat face was dyed with two blushes.

Then, a ray of determination appeared in the big eyes of the water spirit.

"Thank you, Childe, Madoka will definitely work harder in the future to make better dishes for you to eat. ”

In this regard, Xu Ming smiled and nodded as a sign of encouragement.

Although the dishes made by the little girl this time can only be regarded as barely able to eat, it is not easy for a girl who is only twelve years old.

After eating breakfast unhurriedly, Xu Ming walked into the house and began to pack up his salutes.

"Childe, are you going to the palace?"

Outside the room, Xiao Yuan, who was cleaning the dining table, asked crisply, her fat round face with some distress.

Just now, she also ate the food she cooked, and found that the taste was the same as before, basically unchanged, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Well, after receiving other people's money, you naturally have to go to run errands, and you should quickly clean up the dishes and chopsticks. ”

Answering casually, Xu Ming continued to move in his hands.

Yesterday evening, the housekeeper of the Shuichuan County Royal Mansion hurriedly came to the door, saying that there was a very important matter that needed help, and hoped that Xu Ming could go to the palace with him.

For this request, Xu Ming did not refuse, he is now worried about the money to buy talisman materials, as the richest man in Shuichuan County, the palace has strong financial resources, and the reward for asking him to help this time must be very expensive.

However, Xu Ming did not rush over as soon as possible, and under normal circumstances, he only rushed during the day.

Therefore, after collecting the travel fee of one hundred taels of silver tickets from the palace housekeeper last night, Xu Ming sent the person away.

Although the palace steward was unwilling, he had no choice but to return alone.

As for forcing Xu Ming to rush over immediately, although he has this heart, he doesn't have the courage, the guy who did this last time is still lying on the bed half-paralyzed.

After a stick of incense, Xu Ming took the happy little girl and set off in the direction of Shuichuan County.

The place where the master and servant live is a bamboo forest, not far from Shuichuan County, only thirty miles away.

Along the way, the little girl was extremely active, chattering in Xu Ming's ear, changing the tranquility of the bamboo forest.

Every time Xu Ming goes out, it is the happiest time for the little girl, because she can see many new things that she has not encountered before.

Not only people and things, but also all kinds of fierce and vicious demons and monsters.

The thirty-mile journey, with the physical qualities of the master and servant that are different from ordinary people, has been completed in less than an hour.

Standing outside the palace, Xu Ming glanced at the closed door in broad daylight, and stretched out his hand without the slightest change in his expression.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A dull knock sounded in front of the palace gate.

didn't let Xu Ming wait for a long time, and with a "squeak" sound, the two doors of the palace painted with red paint slowly opened.

"Xu Gongzi, you are here, please come inside, the master is waiting in the hall. ”

As soon as the door opened, the palace housekeeper who had met yesterday quickly welcomed Xu Ming and the others into the mansion with a few family members who looked a little haggard.

Following behind the palace housekeeper, Xu Ming observed the environment in the palace as he walked.

Along the way, Xu Ming found that the mansion of Nuoda was very quiet in broad daylight.

Moreover, the people of the palace he saw along the way, whether they were maids or domestic servants, all looked haggard, and there was a haze between their eyebrows.

After walking silently for a while, Xu Ming came to the living room under the leadership of the palace housekeeper.

At this moment, there were already many people sitting in the palace hall, in addition to Wang Dahai, the owner of the palace, there was also her wife Liu, as well as a middle-aged man dressed in Langzhong, and finally a good-looking young woman.

As soon as Xu Ming entered the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of the people inside, and several pairs of eyes looked at him one after another.

Wang Dahai sat on the main seat, and when he saw that the butler had brought in only a young man, especially with a little girl, his already gloomy face became more and more ugly.

Although I had already heard that in the past two years, the famous "Xu Xian" was a young man, but I didn't expect it to be so young, and he looked like he was about twenty years old.

In Wang Dahai's opinion, what can such a young man do.

Although he no longer had any hope for Xu Ming in his heart, Wang Dahai still stood up from the main seat, squeezed out a smile on his face, and welcomed Xu Ming into the hall.

Sitting down in the living room, Xu Ming looked at Wang Dahai, whose face was a little stiff, and then glanced at the little girl who was looking down with his peripheral eyes, and said with thick eyebrows.

"Master Wang, I still lack a chair here. ”

The clear voice spread in the hall, making the already not good atmosphere in the hall even more solemn.

Wang Dahai was standing beside Xu Ming at this moment, and after he was silent for a while, he turned his head and glared at the housekeeper beside him.

"Steward Liu, why are you stunned, why don't you hurry up and move a chair to this little girl. ”

Although Wang Dahai didn't believe that Xu Ming had any real skills, but now that he was desperate, he had no choice but to be a dead horse doctor, hoping that this young man known as "Xu Xian" was really as powerful as rumored.

Under Wang Dahai's orders, Steward Liu immediately left, moved a chair, and placed it beside Xu Ming.

The little girl was not polite, she didn't need to be instructed, she had already sat down obediently, looking at her calm appearance, she was obviously accustomed to it.

Wang Dahai also discovered this scene, and his heart, which sank to the bottom, couldn't help but float slightly.

"Perhaps, this young man really has some skills. ”

With this in mind, he took a step back and sat back in his seat.

After brewing some words, he gave a general explanation of the reason for inviting Xu Ming.

It all started 10 days ago, on a dark and windy night.

In the first half of the night ten days ago, everything was normal in the entire mansion, and most of the people in the mansion had almost laid down to rest.

However, on this seemingly ordinary day, a baby's cry, like the howling of a wild cat, pierced the night sky and shattered the peace of the palace.

This voice was extremely strange, and as soon as it sounded, it instantly woke up everyone in the palace from sleep.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Wang Dahai, everyone in the palace followed the sound and found the source of this strange sound.

It was the boudoir of Wang Jingyu, the eldest lady of the palace, to be precise, in Wang Jingyu's belly.

It is unheard of for an unborn baby to cry.

This is not the end, what is even more strange is that the baby Wang Jingyu is pregnant with is not only unknown to his biological father, but also a ghost fetus.

That's right, it's a ghost fetus, because after the diagnosis of Lang Zhong who was invited later, the baby in the womb has no pulse at all.
