Chapter 142 Explore the Underworld again

Although the trip to Xiahou Wenfu has achieved the purpose of deterrence, the matter of Peng Cheng has always been vague.

Although Xia Houtian knew what Xia Houwen was deliberately hiding, he could not know it by normal means. In desperation, Xia Houtian decided to make a dangerous move and secretly investigate the Underworld again.

In front of the Marquis Xia's Palace, a carriage stopped. Xia Houyuan hurried forward and the curtain was lifted, but Xia Houyi was the only one.

"Big brother, where's Xiaotian? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"Second brother, go in and talk about it." Xia Houyuan's eyes stared at Xia Houyi tightly, as if he wanted to see something.

Xia Houyuan followed Xia Houyi to the study. Xia Houyi retreated left and right, and then said to Xia Houyuan, "Second brother, after tonight, I, Xiahou's side will be worry-free!"

"Oh? Brother, but Xia Houwen and other main departments have surrendered?"

"Yes, thanks to Xiaotian. For many years, I have never been so happy. It's a pity, ah!"

When Xia Houyuan heard a pity, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. Is there something wrong with his son?

"Big brother, is there something wrong with Xiaotian? Why didn't you come back with you? Brother, tell me quickly?"

"Second brother, Xiaotian is fine. It's just a pity that Xiaotian can't take over the position of my collateral clan leader!"

"Brother, I have told you a long time ago that since Xiaotian came back, I feel that he has grown up, like an eagle flying nine days, and he will stay here unrestrainedly."

"Second brother, I don't understand what you said, but it's about the future of more than a thousand people next to Xiahou. How can I give up easily, alas!"

"Brother, is there no one in the younger generation who can replace you?"

"If there is, why should I be so worried? As you know, the more outstanding children of Xiahou have passed away five years ago. If it hadn't been for the pitiful appearance of Xiaotian, I'm afraid I'm a sideline. Is it the result of annexation!"

Looking at the worried face of the eldest brother and some white temples, Xia Houyuan knew that the eldest brother in his prime had paid a lot for the safety of Xiahou's collateral. As a member of Xiahou's collateral, he felt that he should do something.

"Big brother, since Xiaotian has no intention of doing this, how about I be the replacement of the eldest brother?"

"What, second brother, are you coming?"

"That's right, brother, if I replace you, I believe Xiaotian will not refuse once something happens!"

"Second brother, you have to think clearly. In this way, it is likely to alienate you from Xiaotian. Even if Xiaotian doesn't say it, he will be embarrassed!"

"Brother, I have decided that as a member of Xiahou's collateral line, I should think about the future of the collateral line. I believe Xiaotian will understand."

"Okay, second brother, it's not bad that I'm Xia Houyi's younger brother, but we still need to be cautious about this matter. We still need to plan carefully to complete it."

In the study, there was suddenly silence. No one knew what they said, what they discussed, and everything was still as usual!

······

After separating from Xia Houyi, Xia Houtian hid his body and flew to the abandoned palace outside the imperial city.

Suddenly, Xia Houtian's eyes changed, and a carriage galloped away. The direction was also the east of the imperial city. On the carriage, Xia Houtian felt a familiar breath.

"Huh? Where is he going, isn't he?

Xia Houtian did not hesitate and immediately followed up. Sure enough, the carriage came to the east gate of the imperial city and gradually stopped.

In the imperial city, the guard is strictly guarded. At this time, the gate has been closed, and people in the city are not allowed to go out unless there is an order from the relevant departments.

"Stop the carriage in front of you!" A soldier went to the carriage and stopped it.

Just as he was about to lift the curtain to check, something was suddenly thrown out of the carriage, which seemed to be a token. When the soldier looked at it, he immediately stood up respectfully and nodded to the carriage: "It turned out to be Lord Wen's carriage. I don't know Mount Tai!"

"Well, open the door and let it go. Remember, only you and I know what happened today. Don't say a word, otherwise!"

"Little understand, open the gate!"

Squeaky...Ding...Ding...

The carriage galloped away and out of the imperial city. The horse's hoofs faded away. The soldiers immediately looked gloomy, spit and shouted, "Close the gate!"

Speaking of which, Xia Houwen did not take his own carriage for the sake of caution, but used a subordinate carriage, so there was no mark on the carriage, so the soldiers would be like this. Otherwise, how dare he be presumptuous to the powerful Xiahou family.

"Xiahouwen, let me see what you brush?" Xia Houtian said in his heart that he was still following the carriage.

An hour later, the carriage came to the abandoned palace ten miles east of the city and slowly stopped.

"Master, here we are!" The driver lifted the curtain and said respectfully inside. He looked nervous. Obviously, the driver knew the rumors here.

"Ye-huh!" There was an answer in the car. Xia Houwen walked out of the carriage in plain clothes, looked at the abandoned palace in front of him, reached into his sleeves, and took out a string of bracelets.

Xia Houtian saw that this bracelet was exactly the same as the old man's gift to him!

Xia Houwen put the bracelet in the palm of his hand and slowly walked into the abandoned palace. Seeing this, the driver stopped. He quickly drove the carriage and left the palace until he was a miles away.

"Is this bracelet?"

Just as Xia Houtian was thinking, the bracelet in Xia Houwen's hand slowly emitted a faint light. In the palace, a hole suddenly appeared. Xia Houwen jumped down without hesitation.

When everything calmed down, Xiahou Tian entered the palace. At the same time, he also held a bracelet in his hand. The mouth of the hole appeared again. The magic in his hand was used repeatedly, and the restraining spell and the hidden secret were used together. When he was ready, he jumped down.

This time is different from the previous time. As soon as Xia Houtian appeared, he was on an open space. His consciousness locked Xia Houwen. He only saw that Xia Houwen had gone far. Looking at his appearance, he was obviously very familiar with this place. It was definitely not the first time to come!

Xia Houtian was at a loss. He immediately withdrew his consciousness. With a trace of breath, he hung behind Xia Houwen from afar. He was careful at every step and did not dare to be careless at all.

At the same time, Xia Houtian also felt that the atmosphere of the earth was almost twice as strong as yesterday. Obviously, something unusual was happening here. Last time I felt a weak beat, and this time it seemed to be much stronger.

Suddenly, Xia Houtian's eyes tightened and saw Peng Cheng and Bi Xin appear. Although their appearance had not changed, their breath was very strange.

Zhenyuan gathered in his ears, and his hearing spread. Xia Houtian gradually heard the conversation between the three people.

"Brother Wen, you came at the right time. If it were tomorrow, my husband and I might leave here!"

"Oh, Brother Peng's great achievement is about to be completed?"

"Yes, that's right. Thank you for Brother Peng's help. Without Brother Peng's help, how can I lure so many mortals to come, and I won't collect Qi Yangqi so quickly!"

"Brother Peng, you're welcome, but just take what you need. By the way, Brother Peng, I have something to do this time. Do you want to ask for help?"

"Oh? What's the matter with Brother Wen? He came late at night. Let's talk about it.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Peng, my Xiahou's collateral line is aggressive. In addition, there is a child among them, there is a successful cultivation of immortals and comes back. My main department is helpless. As long as I am wronged, I don't want to annex my main department, so...

"Brother Wen, my husband and I were favored by you in those years. Over the years, we have also been mutually beneficial. This time..."

"Brother Peng, this is the bracelet you gave me back then. You said that as long as you take out this thing, you will promise me a request. I hope Brother Peng will fulfill his promise now!"

Peng Cheng waved his hand and grabbed the bracelet in Xia Houwen's hand. He scanned his consciousness and confirmed that it was correct. He said, "Brother Wen, tell me, what do you want?"

"I hope Brother Peng can kill a collateral son named Xia Houtian, so that my main department can dominate again!"

"Okay, this is not difficult. Please give me your appearance. After three days, I will fulfill my promise!"

"Okay, this is a portrait of Xia Houtian, so I'll leave!"

"No delivery!"

Looking at the portrait provided by Xia Houwen, Peng Cheng and Bi Xin were shocked, because the person in the portrait was the one who came yesterday.

"Brother Peng, do you see this?"

"Sister-in-law, since Xia Houwen has taken out the bracelet, even if it is difficult, you and I must do it. Who asked us to make an oath on that day?"

"Eh, Brother Peng, I'll listen to you!"

······

At the same time, Xia Houwen, who walked out of the abandoned palace, returned to the carriage and walked towards the city. If it was not helpless, he did not want to take this bad strategy. After all, whether it was the main line or the side, they were all children of the Xiahou family. They really should not kill each other, but Xia Houyi's aggressiveness made Xia Houwen have to do so. He is now I just hope that Peng Cheng can get rid of Xia Houtian. In this way, the main system will have a day of reversal, otherwise...
