Chapter 107 News of the hostages

Who the hell is going to attack an old man and a girl...

Arriving at the door of Dr. Qiu's house, two government seals were pasted on it. People coming and going looked this way from time to time, their faces full of curiosity.

It seems that someone has already checked.

An ominous premonition hangs over Zixi's heart. Could it be that the disappearance of their grandparent and grandson has something to do with us?

The same idea also lingered in Teng Xuanyi's mind. He touched the gate, looked up at the courtyard wall and said:
"I don't think we can find any clues if we go in, let's go back to the inn first!"

Zixi nodded, walked to Luo Yiyao, and gently grabbed his sleeve: "Don't worry, we will definitely find them."

Luo Yiyao turned his head, a trace of sharpness flashed in his clear and warm eyes, this was something Zixi had never seen before in his eyes...

In the middle of the inn, Yue Lu was lying on the bed sadly, Xin Ruo and Mi Yuan were sitting next to each other and playing chess, the orange sunlight came in through the crack of the window and shone on the chess pieces, making them look extra warm.

The woman in front of me is the first mortal woman I have come into contact with in a real sense. I thought that women in this world should be delicate and weak, but I never thought that there would be such a heroic, brave and valiant person.

After putting down a sunspot, Mi Yuan said with a smile: "Miss Xin Ruo, I accept it."

After carefully looking at the chessboard, Xin Ruo couldn't help exclaiming, "Wonderful!"

It was rare to see her so relaxed, and Mi Yuan couldn't help being curious.

"I've never heard you talk about the situation in your own family. How long have you been in the palace?"

Putting the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one, Xinruo showed a trace of sadness on his face.

"For many years, the palace has been my home."

"Oh? What about your parents?"

The scene of billowing gunpowder smoke emerged in her mind, Xinruo's fingertips trembled slightly, and a chess piece fell to the ground. She silently bent down to pick it up, and blew the dust on it: "Dead, in the chaos of war... ..."

Mi Yuan's heart trembled, it turned out to be a poor person.

Without apologizing or comforting him, he conjured up a plum blossom under the table and inserted it gently in the chessboard.

Xinruo has long been familiar with these miraculous things, she caressed the petals and smiled: "It's beautiful, but plum blossoms are not what this season should have."

"Is it? There shouldn't be? But it's here!"

Glancing at Yue Lu's back, Mi Yuan amplified his voice a bit: "A lot of troubles are caused by not having what you should have, and what you shouldn't have is hard to let go of, worrying about gains and losses, and don't know if there is such a thing as "self" gone."

Seeing Yue Lu's shoulders trembled, Mi Yuan continued: "A flower from blooming to withering, what you gain is what you lose. Even though you don't have the love of your parents, but because of this, you have us. Everyone. Many things are indeed destined, but there is one thing that can change its original trajectory."

"What is it?"

The sleeves brushed across the plum blossom, and it instantly turned into a pure and elegant white lotus.Mi Yuan took it out and handed it to Xinruo:
"Heart."

There were noisy footsteps on the stairs, they should be coming back!Xin Ruo hurriedly took the white lotus, worrying about where to hide it, when suddenly, a bright light appeared in her hand, and the white lotus turned into a small pendant.

The familiar voice was getting closer, Xin Ruo clenched her fist, smiled sweetly at Mi Yuan, and hurriedly opened the door.

Why are you all so sad?
"Did... what happened to you?"

The originally quiet room was soon full of people, looking at the pile of "trophies" piled on the table, Xinruo was even more confused, why is that girl Zixi not happy at all?

Seeing that everyone kept a straight face and did not speak, Mi Yuan was also a little anxious:
"What the hell happened?"

"Oh!" Yantong came over and pulled him aside, and whispered, "Something may have happened to Dr. Qiu!"

"what?"

With a sinking heart, Mi Yuan instinctively looked at Luo Yiyao, this kid... must be extremely uncomfortable.

What happened in the past, Zixi always figured out a solution very quickly, but today, she also frowns tightly and doesn't say a word.The so-called concern leads to chaos, and it is difficult for her to calm down!
Teng Xuanyi walked to the table and took out a pack of pastries, put it in Zixi's hand and said softly:

"Xin Ruo, make some tea."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zixi opened the paper bag, took out a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, Teng Xuanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, he did not lose his mind.

"Fourth brother, what should we do now? We don't have any clue, where can we find someone?"

Walking to the table, Teng Xuanyun also took out a pack of pastries, stuffed them into Zixi's arms, and asked loudly, frowning.

"Doctor Qiu, we are the ones who got involved."

"Ah?" Teng Xuanyun rolled his eyes, and slapped his thigh as if he suddenly realized: "Yanyou spies! I want to use Dr. Qiu and the others as hostages!"

Teng Xuanyi shook her head, then looked at Zixi again, only to see that she lowered her head and hugged the pastry in her arms tighter.

"The hostages are not fake, but they are not free."

"Ah? Who is that? Oh, brother, don't be a fool! You know who it is, right?"

A bag of pastries flew into the air, and after drawing an arc in the air, it scattered on the ground.

Teng Xuanyi smiled, walked to the side and sat down, no longer talking.

All eyes turned to Zixi, why did he lose his temper suddenly?

"Oh my little ancestor, you startled me, do you know something too?"

Standing up abruptly, Zixi rolled up her sleeves, walked to Luo Yiyao's side, and patted his shoulder vigorously:

"How could Yanyou take an old man who doesn't have a deep friendship with his opponent as a hostage! What they really want to use is your friendship with Teng Xuanyi! Don't forget, you once saved his old man's life!"

With a flash in front of his eyes, Luo Yiyao clenched his fists: "Damn it!"

"Hey? Hey? Zixi, can you... make it more clear?"

"Aside from us, who else knows what Luo Yiyao is capable of? Who else knows that Teng Xuanyi values ​​him so much?"

"Uh...can you, let's say..."

Snapped!A slap was slapped on Teng Xuanyun's forehead, and Zixi pinched his face: "Yu Gong!"

Squeaking, Xinruo came in with the teapot in hand, bit her lip immediately when she saw this scene, and quietly walked aside.

Letting go of Teng Xuanyun's face, Zixi deliberately turned to look at Teng Xuanchun, put his hands on his hips, and cursed angrily:
"It's really shameless to bully an old man and a woman! If we didn't come to this town on the spur of the moment, we would really be caught off guard by the other party!"

Um?no response?
Seeing Teng Xuanchun sitting there in a daze, Zixi took another step forward: "Shameless! Hmph!"

This time, Teng Xuanchun seemed to have heard it, his face was sad, his eyes were full of disappointment, he looked at Zixi and said slowly: "Doctor Qiu's family, is there still a young man?"

Um?young man?Isn't it Doctor Qiu and Miss Qing'er?

Just when Zixi was confused, Teng Xuanyi's voice came from behind her: "It should be Doctor Qiu's apprentice."

what!right!Zixi took another two steps forward, pointed at Teng Xuanchun's nose and shouted: "It's really you?"

After a long silence, Teng Xuanchun gently pressed Zixi's finger, took a deep breath, and replied with some reluctance:

"An old man, a girl, and a young man. Hey! I would never have thought that it was related to you!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the man?"

Closing his eyes, Teng Xuanchun's lips trembled a little: "Brother's house."

"Sure enough, you are in the same group!"

"I ran across it by accident! If I hadn't heard you talk about old women, I would never have thought that it was them who the elder brother arrested!"

That's... that's right, if they were in the same group, why did Teng Xuanchun say it so happily...

Taking a step back, Zixi pouted:

"Hmph! My brother is also betrayed! You are not a good person either!"

Nodding his head, Teng Xuanchun didn't refute: "You're right, I betrayed both my father and my elder brother. That's because I don't agree with some of their ideas and practices, you can think whatever you like, I don't care! Let's hurry up and save people!"

After saying these words, he left the room silently, looking at the slammed door, Zixi suddenly felt a little guilty.

Go to the palace to save people, don't say anything, but fortunately there are suitable people here.

"Nine Crowns, this time, I will trouble you again."

"Where is the Fourth Highness, just don't worry, leave this matter to me and..."

Zhulan wanted to guard Zixi, and Miyuan wanted to help Xinruo guard Yuelu, Jiuguan paused, and continued: "Yan Tong."

Although he was reluctant in every possible way, Yantong also knew the importance of this matter, he could have had fun with Zixi for two days, hey!What an annoyance!
"Oh! Don't worry!"

"Good brother! The young master really saw the right person!"

"Of course! For such an important matter, I will do my part!"

"excellent!"

"Haha...beautiful!"

Looking at those two figures with their shoulders crossed and their backs crossed, laughing and laughing, helpless sighs resounded in the room...
