I have a magical tree

"The super-grade tracking talisman is useless?" Qu Jun was shocked, "It's impossible! That's a super-grade talisman, unless..."

He looked at Jiang Taiqing, Jiang Taiqing also nodded, and took over the conversation: "Unless it is related to the existence he sacrificed."

"According to the information we have received, Huang Ji is just an ordinary disciple in Linghe Temple. He is not taken seriously and it is impossible for him to have any precious treasures to protect himself. Such a treasure that can conceal the breath must not be obtained by him from Linghe Temple!"

Qu Jun nodded, "Although Linghe Temple is in decline, there are still many disciples. Among the many disciples, Huang Ji can only be regarded as the upper middle class. He barely enters the core, but cannot enter the true teaching. I don't believe that Linghe Temple is willing to give him such a treasure. Whether Linghe Temple has it or not is another matter!"

"No matter how much we guess, it's useless! The imperial envoy of the county city is coming, and people from the Yan family, Linghe Temple, and even people from other families and forces in the county city may come!" Jiang Taiqing held his forehead with his hand. None of these people are easy to mess with.

Several forces are fighting here, and as a local force, they will certainly be squeezed in the gap. This is no longer a case of being bullied from both sides, but from all sides.

The next few days will be very uncomfortable! But he can't run away. He is now the chief officer here. If he runs away, it will be really over. I am afraid that even the mansion master will suffer.

...

At dusk, Xu Dao, who had just finished his meal, was lying in the yard for a nap. He had to go out of the city tonight, so it was right to conserve his energy.

At this time, Oats hurried back. As soon as he entered the front yard, Aunt Wu, who was watering the flowers and plants, saw him.

"Brother Yan is back? There is food left for you in the room, it's not cold yet!"

"Aunt Wu, I'll eat later!" Oats greeted him and went straight into the inner courtyard to Xu Dao's side.

"Back? How was the trip?" Xu Dao sat up and looked at Oats.

Oats nodded, "I have gained something, but the situation there is a bit complicated, so I dare not go deeper."

"Tell me about it!"

"That Jing'anfang is also known as Maojiafang! Because the entire market is almost owned by the Mao family. More than 80% of the people are surnamed Mao, and the remaining 20% ​​are mostly servants, servants, and attendants of the Mao family. People of other surnames will be very conspicuous when they enter this place."

Xu Dao nodded. This situation is not uncommon. Some big families occupy a market alone, and some even occupy several markets.

Even the An family, the mother's family of the master's wife, is also a big family, but it is just average. It can be seen from the fact that the An family only occupies half of the Fuguifang. However, this kind of strength is already very good.

"So, Mao Chun and Mao Xia are from the big family surnamed Mao? Is it the main vein or the side branch?"

"It used to be the main vein, but now... they are not even a side branch." Oats scratched his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Seven years ago, Mao Chou, the head of the Mao family, died, and the Mao family fell into civil strife. Mao Chou's confidant Mao Shuang took Mao Chou's two children and forcibly left the Mao family and moved into a small courtyard in Jing'anfang. These two children are Mao Chun and Mao Xia. At that time, Mao Chun was eight years old and Mao Xia was seven years old!"

"Why?" Xu Dao got up from his chair and began to pace in the courtyard, "Internal strife? A power struggle between the collateral branches? Or are the relatives turning against each other and wanting to attack Mao Chou's children?"

Oats also followed, "None of them, Mao Shuang is also decisive. In the first When the time came, he announced that the two children would give up their inheritance rights and give up the main house. Then he made an agreement with the elders of the Mao family that no matter who became the head of the Mao family and held the power of the Mao family, they would treat Mao Chun and Mao Xia well. If anyone attacked the two children, the Mao family would fight together! "

"In this case, not to mention regaining power, but guaranteeing wealth and honor should be no problem. Moreover, although the branches of the Mao family fought fiercely, they were very restrained in their means. No one should attack them, and they would be safe even if they stayed in the main house. "

"But for some reason, Three months later, Mao Shuang suddenly announced that he would leave the Mao family with his two children and refused all support from the Mao family. He just bought a small courtyard with his savings and moved out! "

"I heard that he wanted to leave Jing'anfang at first, but the Mao family did not allow it at that time. The new head of the Mao family had just taken office, and the previous head was driven out of the Mao family and even out of Maojiafang. What happened? "

"Mao Shuang had no choice but to settle for the second best and choose a remote place in Jing'anfang to settle temporarily! In the following seven years, whether it was Mao Shuang, Mao Chun or Mao Xia, they were all I have never been to the main house of the Mao family, and I don't even socialize with them on weekdays!"

Xu Dao stopped and looked up at the sky, which was already a little dark. "So, Mao Shuang didn't want to leave Jing'anfang on a whim, nor did he make the decision now. He had this idea a long time ago, but was limited by the conditions and only made it today?"

"Yes, these are the things I investigated. These are well-known things. I dare not ask more in depth, for fear of alarming the Mao family!" Oats was a little embarrassed, but he really tried his best.

Xu Dao asked people to inquire about the news, and it was always like this. He didn't pursue details, but only pursued safety! Only under the premise of ensuring safety, the information he inquired about is valuable.

"Okay, these are enough, you go to dinner! Um... You are allowed to drink tonight!" Xu Dao knew that this guy loved to drink, and in fact Liu Jian was the same, but since the two came here, they have never touched a drop of wine.

Oatmeal's face was happy at first, but soon it was restrained. He shook his head and said, "Forget drinking. Alcohol and sex are harmful to the body. Quit drinking!"

Xu Dao smiled and said, "It's okay to quit. The heroism of a warrior is not supported by alcohol. Those who have heroism in their hearts can be heroic even without drinking. Those who have no courage are fools no matter how much they drink!"

"However, I don't force you to quit drinking. It's okay to have a drink in your spare time on weekdays!"

Oatmeal and Liu Jian are now eighth-grade warriors. They can't get drunk even if they drink a little bit of alcohol. After all, their physical strength is there.

After Oatmeal left, Xu Dao looked at Mao Chun's small courtyard, as if he saw the withered old man again.

Although the old man's cultivation was completely wasted, he was definitely not simple. I'm afraid he had other means. That morning was the first time he felt such a sharp sense of peeping.

So why did Mao Shuang have to take Mao Chun and Mao Xia away from Jing'anfang? Was it because he was seriously injured and lost all his cultivation, so he felt that he was unable to protect the two people, so he chose to leave? Or, was there something wrong with Jing'anfang or the Mao family?

Xu Dao's intuition was very important for this question! But he still had too little information at hand!
