Hu Xiaotian looked at Huo Xiaoru quietly, and suddenly felt that she had changed a lot. She did not answer his question directly. Wanyan Liexin had indirectly admitted that Xue Shengjing was in Heihu before, so it was not a coincidence that the Heihu delegation entertained him here.
, Hu Xiaotian said softly: "Why did you change your name?"
Huo Xiaoru frowned slightly and said with a confused look: "What?" She obviously didn't understand what Hu Xiaotian meant.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did you take off the signboard of Yanshui Pavilion?"
Only then did Huo Xiaoru realize what he was referring to, and smiled and said: "Do you think the name of Huiweilou is not good?"
Hu Xiaotian was silent for a while and suddenly said: "I heard a song recently and I will sing it to you!"
Huo Xiaoru's eyes became more and more surprised.
"Time has passed and can never be recalled. The past can only be recollected. Reminiscing about the childhood sweethearts and green plums, the childhood sweethearts were with each other day and night. The spring breeze blew the stamens red again. You have also added a new year, and you have to change your heart. It is like time is difficult to turn back.
I can only cuddle up to each other in my dreams.”
Hu Xiaotian drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, turned around and left without even saying goodbye.
Hu Xiaoru's ears were still lingering with Hu Xiaotian's low and melancholy singing voice. Although his singing voice was not perfect, it had a power that directly struck people's hearts. Huo Xiaoru bit her lips and got up and went to the window, only to see that Hu Xiaotian's figure had left the backyard.
In the dead of night, Hu Xiaotian was sitting alone in his study, still thinking about Huo Xiaoru's performance during the day. From her words and deeds, it could be seen that she was doing everything as usual, and there was no sign of being controlled or coerced. During the separation between the two,
What happened in the past few years? Why did I have unpredictable feelings for Huo Xiaoru? Did she really change? Or did I misunderstand her?
The door was lightly knocked, but it was Xia Changming who walked in from the outside. According to Hu Xiaotian's instructions, he used the black-kissed sparrow to track Huo Xiaoru's whereabouts, and found that Huo Xiaoru also left Huwei Building shortly after Hu Xiaotian left, and went to Xicheng on the way.
I stayed at Diewuxuan for about an hour, and then went to Yunshao Mansion in Dongsi Archway.
Hu Xiaotian is no stranger to Yunshao Mansion. When he and Huo Xiaoru first met, Huo Xiaoru was responsible for teaching and rehearsing palace songs and dances there. Since Qiqi took over the power of the government, the palace's huge song and dance orchestra has been greatly reduced.
The Jiaoshifang, represented by the Shaofu Prefecture, was the first to be affected. Most of the singers and dancers lost their support from the government and had to make a living in their own way. Some of them were lucky enough to enter the families of officials, while others fell into the dust. The former bustling Dongsi Archway
As a result, he became lonely. Later, the properties here were also sold off. Only a few buildings were bought, and most of them remained idle.
After hearing what Xia Changming said, Hu Xiaotian had already thought several times in his mind that Huo Xiaoru's coming to Kangdu this time was not just for rescuing Rong Shi. After meeting Huo Xiaoru today, he felt more and more that Huo Xiaoru had completely changed.
He secretly concluded that Huo Xiaoru's change was most likely due to Xue Shengjing.
Even Xiyan could be made irrational by the Five Immortals leader, Mrs. Meizhuang, using the mind-losing Gu, not to mention Huo Xiaoru, who had no power to restrain a chicken? Hu Xiaotian had a strong desire in his heart. He wanted to figure out everything behind this as soon as possible.
What happened to Huo Xiaoru? Where is Xue Shengjing? Are there any connections between Heihu Wanyan Liexin and Huo Xiaoru? What is the relationship between Huo Xiaoru and Rong Shi?
When Xia Changming heard that Hu Xiaotian was going to visit Yunshao Mansion at night, he took the initiative to invite Ying and said, "My lord and I will go together so that if anything happens, we can take care of him."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and whispered: "Call Liang Yinghao to find out if there is any mystery in Yunshao Mansion."
Near midnight, three figures appeared at the East Fourth Archway. The three figures were Hu Xiaotian, Xia Changming and Liang Yinghao. They were all dressed in black and masked. They first sneaked into the abandoned courtyard on the west side of Yunshao Mansion. No one had lived here for a long time. The courtyard
There were waist-high wormwood in the middle, and the moonlight was like water, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day. Liang Yinghao looked at the round moon and suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "Today is July 15th."
Only then did Hu Xiaotian realize that today is the Ghost Festival, which is also commonly known as the Ghost Festival among the people. Usually people still have some taboos and try to avoid going out on the night of the Ghost Festival. Hu Xiaotian did not believe in evil, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Xia Changming said: "Tomorrow will be in a little while, July 16th is not a ghost festival."
Liang Yinghao laughed, not because he was afraid, but because he remembered the concerns of the people.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Yinghao is here to take care of the situation. Chang Ming and I will go in to investigate the situation. If we don't come back within an hour, you will go back to the palace to bring in reinforcements."
Liang Yinghao smiled and said, "Then I'll wait here." He knew Hu Xiaotian's strength very well. When it came to fighting alone, few people in the world could match him. What's more, he was resourceful and resourceful, and Xia Changming was a master of beast control.
With the help at his side, these two people should be able to escape unscathed in any situation. Liang Yinghao's Qinggong is obviously far behind them. His strength is digging holes and sneaking.
Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming climbed over the wall and entered Yunshao Mansion. Although there was only one wall between them, the two sides were completely different. The yard just now was full of weeds, but here it was well organized. You could tell at a glance that there were often people there.
Take care of.
The black-kissed sparrow led the way. Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming, both of whom were excellent at lightness, followed the black-kissed sparrow and quietly approached the Qingwu Building of Yunshao Mansion.
The lights are still on on the third floor of Qingwu Building.
The two people climbed up the wall and walked as if they were walking on flat ground to the third floor. Through the curtains floating in the sky, they saw two figures among them. Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming exchanged a look. The two of them were hiding in a dark corner. They looked up.
, but saw that one of the two people was Xiang Shancong, and the other was an old woman with gray hair and chicken skin. Hu Xiaotian had never seen this old lady, but when he saw that Huo Xiaoru was not here, he was inevitably a little disappointed.
The old lady said coldly: "Xiang Shancong, I have fulfilled my promise, but you haven't handed me the honorary stone yet."
Hu Xiaotian was startled. This old lady cared so much about Rong Shi. Although he had never heard her voice, the rhythm of her words still felt familiar to Hu Xiaotian. Looking at the old lady's surly eyes, he suddenly realized that,
This old lady is clearly Mrs. Mei Zhuang, the leader of the Five Immortals. No wonder Huo Xiaoru would rescue Rong Shi. It turned out that Mei Zhuang had found her, but when did Huo Xiaoru meet Mei Zhuang and reach an agreement?
Xiang Shancong smiled and said: "Why are you anxious? As long as my lady verifies the authenticity of the things, your apprentice will be returned to you immediately.
Meizhuang said angrily: "It's been an entire hour, and you still can't tell the truth from the false? I think you are delaying on purpose. I brought that thing out of the Dragon Spirit Realm with great pains, so why not?"
Will there be a holiday?"
When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he already guessed what they were talking about. He secretly screamed that something was wrong. It seemed that the skull collected in Longling Shengjing was obtained by Mrs. Meizhuang after all. After he used his lightsaber to blow up the hole and escaped, Meizhuang
Zhuang must have followed the hole he left and left.
It’s not surprising that Meizhuang could pick up the skull, but what does Huo Xiaoru want the skull for? Is it because he was entrusted by Xue Shengjing? But Xiang Shancong also said that she wanted to verify the authenticity. Could it be that Huo Xiaoru also has the ability to understand the skull’s information? The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it,
The more terrifying it is.
Xiang Shancong asked: "Where is Ren Tianqing?"
Mei Zhuang said: "How do I know where he is? If I knew his whereabouts, I would be the first to rush over and kill him!"
Xiang Shancong was doubtful, but Hu Xiaotian, hiding in the dark, believed that Meizhuang had such determination and courage.
Xiang Shancong said: "Everyone says that Madam is ruthless, but I didn't expect Madam to be really kind to Rong Shi. She was actually willing to sacrifice something so important in exchange for his safety."
Mei Zhuang said: "After all, I raised him since he was a child. In my heart, I regard him as my own son."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, you have raised Xiyan since she was a child, so why do you prefer one to another? It is too cruel to treat Xiyan.
Xiang Shancong said: "Human beings are not grass and trees, so how can we be ruthless?"
Mei Zhuang said: "Stop talking nonsense and ask your young lady to come over and see me."
Xiang Shancong said: "From what I know about you, you have always been a heartless person. This time you treat Rong Shi like this, if it is not because of feelings, it is because he is extremely important. There is still a use for you to keep him, right?"
"
Meizhuang looked at Xiang Shancong coldly and said, "Although Xue Shengjing is not a good person, he always does what he says. As his subordinate, do you want to go back on your word?"
Xiang Shancong smiled and said, "Xiang didn't mean that. I was just curious, so I asked casually."
Mei Zhuang said: "My patience is limited. Either you return the skull to me, or you bring me the honor stone."
Xiang Shancong said: "The skull has been taken away by my lady."
Meizhuang said angrily: "What did you say?" Just now, Xiang Shancong said that he would take the skull to identify the authenticity. He also asked Meizhuang to take a look at Rong Shi from a distance, but now he said that the skull had been taken away, but Rong Shi had not yet appeared.
Mei Zhuang said: "Anyway, that skull is of no use to me. You can just take it away. Now bring the Rongshi here and our deal will still count."
Xiang Shancong said: "Madam has adopted Rong Shi since she was a child, thinking that no one knew his origin, but you probably don't know that I was the one who gave him to Taoist Tiancan."
Mei Zhuang looked at Xiang Shancong in astonishment, almost unable to believe his ears.
Xiang Shancong smiled and said: "Later, Taoist Priest Tiancan gave the Rongshi to you to raise. You should know how valuable the Rongshi is."
Meizhuang looked at Xiang Shancong coldly: "What are you talking about?"
Xiang Shancong said: "Rong Shi's real name is Jian, right?"
Mei Zhuang's hands subconsciously clenched his fists, and because they were hidden in his sleeves, there was no movement at all.
Xiang Shancong said: "Do you want to kill me?"
