Chapter 56: The phoenix cannot enter the pheasant's nest!
Fenghuang had already left, and Zhong Daolong walked to the desk and relit the cigar that Fenghuang had just cut off.
Zhong Daolong took a deep breath, looked at Chen Fenglei and asked: "How is the investigation going?"
"The situation is getting more and more complicated." Chen Fenglei stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "According to the news from the old land, not only the expedition team from the Phoenix Empire is going to Shennongjia to search for the tomb, but also the
The Sri Lanka Empire and the Kaman Federation have also sent people to the old land... Apparently, someone deliberately made the map public in order to make the water as muddy as possible... The old land
If the earth pursues the evil, this line has been destroyed."
"The Sansou Palace killer brought back by General Bai Qi also died in the prison without anyone noticing... This clue has also been broken. If I want to pick it up again, I'm afraid it will still happen.
It will take some time..."
Zhong Daolong looked gloomy and said: "No matter how cunning a fox is, he will show his tail. The most successful thing I have done over the years is to learn to be patient."
Chen Fenglei did not dare to speak and remained silent.
Zhong Daolong took a puff of his cigar, puffed out a big puff of smoke, and asked, "You heard what Xiu Xue said, what do you think?"
"The king is talking about inviting some friends from her old land to Xinxing?" Chen Fenglei asked with a smile.
"You are also an old fox... apart from this, what else can you do?" Zhong Daolong looked at Chen Fenglei with doubtful eyes and said loudly: "What? Is there anything in this that makes you taboo?"
"I'm just a servant, how can I arbitrarily discuss the master's family affairs?" Chen Fenglei avoided answering.
"No, it's not that simple." Zhong Daolong waved his hand, looked at Chen Fenglei and said, "With your cautious temperament, you must be worried about being implicated in the future, otherwise you wouldn't be allowed to fight on this issue.
....."
"What? Do you believe Bai Qi's report? Do you also think...Xiuxue will have any emotional entanglements with that boy named Tang Bandit?"
"I don't really believe this. Princess Xiuxue's vision is first-rate. There are so many outstanding boys around her in Phoenix City, and I haven't seen anyone she would value more...
..If you go to the old land for a few days, for a refugee in the old land..."
"Sorry, I'm used to it... If it's so easy for her to develop a crush on a boy from the old land, wouldn't that make those young men in Phoenix City who call themselves geniuses embarrassed?"
"I think Princess Xiuxue fell into danger. This was the first time in her life that she encountered such a big obstacle. When she felt lost and helpless, that boy happened to appear..."
"In the process of getting along later, some trust and dependence developed, which is human nature. When I was a child, I went to my grandma's house to pick fruits with my friends in the orchard for a few days. When we were separated, we cried and refused to leave."
"When Princess Xiu Xue returns to her familiar environment, with one person under her and ten thousand people above her, with flowers and wine everywhere, and friends wherever she goes, how can she still think of those little friends from the old land? They are there again
What can it bring to Princess Xiuxue? How could a phoenix flying in the sky fall into a pheasant's nest?"
Zhong Daolong nodded and said: "I think so too. So General Bai Qi... what's the profound meaning of clicking such a sentence?"
Chen Fenglei said with a smile: "Do your duty faithfully and report whatever you see to the king."
"I'll leave this matter to you." Zhong Daolong finally made up his mind and said aloud. "I will also leave the people in your hands."
"Leave it in my hands?"
"Yes." Zhong Daolong looked at Chen Fenglei and said loudly: "Although I don't believe that Zhong Daolong's daughter will fall in love with a savage from the old land, but be prepared... people are under your nose.
Is it possible for him to get angry down there?"
"I understand." Chen Fenglei nodded with a smile and said, "What if, I mean what if...what sparks appear?"
Zhong Daolong glanced at Chen Fenglei and said, "I allow my daughter to be sad for a while, but I don't allow her to be miserable for the rest of her life."
"I understand." Chen Fenglei's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "This subordinate will definitely handle things beautifully."
"Yes." Zhong Daolong nodded and said, "I always feel at ease when you do things."
-------
On the old soil, the night is as dark as ink.
When the old man was sleeping soundly, a faint sound came from his ears.
The old man's face changed slightly and he immediately got up from the bed.
He tiptoed to the yard and listened carefully for a while. Both Tang Bandit and Xiaopang were breathing very steadily, and it seemed that both of them were sleeping peacefully.
So, he stretched out his figure, jumped over the wall, and disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
Deep in Henshan Mountain, on a raised boulder, stood a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit.
He was holding a long flute and was quietly waiting for something.
"Lovesickness is introverted, fresh and elegant. After not seeing each other for many years, this song "Remembering Old Friend" has become more and more refined." The figure of the old man appeared on the boulder and looked at the man in front of him and said.
"My elder brother taught me this song "Remembering Old Friends". I use this song to express my nostalgia for my elder brother. How can I not do my best?" The middle-aged man looked at the old man and said.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business. How did you find me?"
"When I came to take Princess Snow back to the capital, I was in the Undead Army." The middle-aged man said aloud: "I took a quick glance in the air and spotted the figure of my eldest brother. When I was looking for a chance to reminisce about the past, I found that my eldest brother was nowhere to be found.
trace."
The old man looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and said loudly: "I have become like this, I am neither a human nor a ghost, how can you still recognize me?"
"Because when I saw my eldest brother, he was standing on the stage singing an opera." The man said in a deep voice.
"For a while, my eldest brother liked to sing opera while drinking. He would take a sip and sing a line... I can't remember the words, but the tone of the opera and the gestures and expressions while drinking still impress me to this day.
I remember it deeply.”
"So, I recognized my eldest brother the first time I saw him... Others can't recognize him, but I can."
"So what if you recognize me?" The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I am not who I was back then, and you are not who you were back then. Go back and pretend you have never seen me before."
"Brother..."
The old man waved his hand and said: "For my sake and for your own sake...go back and pretend you have never seen me."
"Brother, when I come this time, I must invite you back." The man said firmly.
"What?" the old man sneered and said, "If I don't go back, why don't you arrest me? Oh, I almost forgot that you are now serving in the Undead Army... Is the dog food delicious?"
Click!
A top-quality Dongxiao in the man's hand was broken into two pieces, and he shouted angrily: "Brother, how can you miss me so much?"
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts. After so many years, who knows what you have become? Back then, you kept saying that you would die for the Marshal... aren't you now working in the Undead Army and are prospering?"
"You..." The man was speechless.
The two stared at each other, neither of them admitting defeat.
a long time.
The old man sighed softly and advised: "Zhiyong, go back. I know me and you know me. There is no need to hurt the feelings of brothers by saying such angry words. Let me leave you with a little thought...
..I have become like this, and this is the only thing left.”
"Brother, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about those two children."
As soon as Lu Zhiyong finished speaking, he felt that the skin and flesh all over his body were tense and the hairs on his body stood up.
The air around him seemed to have solidified, and waves of coldness like cones and swords struck the vital parts of his body.
He knew that he had been locked by a fierce energy.
The old man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
A green light loomed on his hand, and if Lu Zhiyong's answer did not satisfy him, he would slap it with a palm.
Can't take risks.
This kind of thing should never be taken risk.
If this huge secret is exposed, it will be a shame for him to die, and neither Tang Bandit nor Xiaopang will survive...
thump!
Lu Zhiyong knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Brother, as far as I know, Princess Xiuxue has made a request to Zhong Daolong, wanting to repay her savior and take the three of you back to Xinxing...
.If the welcoming team really comes, where will you go then? Will you go back or not?"
"Oh?" The old man was quite surprised and asked: "Is that girl really so kind?"
"Yes, it's absolutely true." Lu Zhiyong felt his body relax, and the energy that locked him suddenly disappeared.
"If that's the case..." The old man carefully considered the doorway and said, "I'm really not suitable to go back with them..."
"Yes. When the time comes, they will definitely check your identity and background... It's okay for the two of them. No one above Xinxing knows them anyway. "Old Orphans" is enough.
Explain everything. But what do you do? If those caring people know that you are together... what will they do?"
"I understand." The old man nodded and said: "If your news is true, I will leave before the people from the Phoenix Empire arrive... I am already a dead person, so there is no need to appear in front of people again.
Already."
"So, after I learned the news, I ran over to take you back as soon as possible..." Lu Zhiyong said aloud.
The old man looked at Lu Zhiyong and asked, "Does the head of the family know that I am here?"
"I don't know yet." Lu Zhiyong shook his head and said: "Since you disappeared, the head of the family has often lamented and said that you are the most amazing and talented person in our Lu family... If you can go back,
The master of the house must be very happy."
"You won't trade my head for wine money, will you?" the old man said sarcastically.
"Brother..." Lu Zhiyong became anxious and said angrily: "Why are you like this now? Everyone doubts you? If we want to harm you, I won't come alone, but a group of people will come.
......."
"If you live here for a few years, I'm afraid you won't even believe in yourself..." the old man said aloud. "The matter has come to this, and there is no better choice. I will go back with you...
...However, before that, I have to deal with some things first."
"Okay, I'm here to pick you up this time." Lu Zhiyong said loudly: "We will go back together after you finish handling things here."
After a pause, he asked again: "Brother, what are those two children...who are they?"
The old man stared at Lu Zhiyong with a smile and asked aloud: "What do you mean?"
"I know your eldest brother's character, and I also know that you were heartbroken at that time. If there was no special reason...how could you come here and adopt two children?"
"What can I do?" the old man said angrily: "I just wanted to find a place where I don't know anyone and spend the rest of my life in obscurity, but unexpectedly I picked up these two bastards... I can kill them
Throw it away to feed the mice? Just think about raising it, it will grow like this if you keep it... and even saved your little phoenix princess... Do you think this is ridiculous?"
"This is fate." Lu Zhizhi said loudly: "Brother, go back, we are all waiting for you to go back."
"us?"
"Yes, we." Lu Zhiyong looked directly at the old man's scrutiny, with flames burning in his pupils, and said in a firm voice: "Wait until you return to take charge of the overall situation."
