Chapter 266 The Return of Xia Zhong

Yang Fan said, "Brother, don't you want to do it, but can you seal the mouth of the world? It is imperative to find the second brother and figure things out. You will definitely reveal your identity as soon as you take action. At that time, I can't take care of myself. How can I find my second brother?"

Xue Ling sighed and said, "At that time, when Songshan and his second brother separated, I felt that something was wrong with him, but I didn't expect that something had happened. In any case, I don't believe that the second brother will assassinate General Xia for the seven star stone, not to mention that he is the father of Miss Xia. Why didn't Miss Xia stand up and turn white for her second brother?

Yang Fan hesitated for a long time and said, "Third brother, in fact, my second brother and I have something to hide from you. I have known for a long time that the second brother was looking for Qixingshi. The second brother has been hiding it because he saw that your relationship with Xianxian has just stabilized and doesn't want to bother you. It's not that the younger brother and sister don't want to explain for the second brother. It is true that General Xia was injured and unconscious, and the second brother was the last person to be with him. Now the whereabouts are unknown. On the one hand, she is her biological father, and on the other hand, she is the beloved. What can she do..."

"Since the eldest brother knew about this for a long time, why didn't he stop the second brother? What's the use of him for the seven-star stone?"

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "This matter is complicated, but the second brother is by no means a person who will do im moral things for Qixingshi. It will be clear when you find his problem. Despite what they said, the three didn't know where Xiao Ran was. It's ridiculous that these Jianghu people actually want to get Xiao Ran's whereabouts from their mouths.

Xue Ling looked at Mo Xianyun and said, "Xianxian, the road is dangerous. My uncle and aunt told me that I want to take good care of you. I'll take you back to the Falling Star Palace first.

"Ringer, are you going to drive me away again? Leave me alone even if you know it's dangerous. Isn't it more worrying that I can't see you?"

"How can I be relieved if you are injured? I can't ignore the second brother's affairs. I promise that I will pick you up as soon as the second brother is done. Although Mo Xianyun was very unwilling to separate, she nodded because she was not willing to distract Xue Ling.

Summer Mansion, in the hall. Sixty-seven people in power gathered together, with ugly faces and speechless for a long time. The white-haired old man was in the middle and said, "This matter is extremely confidential. Only someone will leak it out. Now the news of the assassination of the second brother in a coma is known all over the city. Today, more than ten officials have come to explore the truth. I'm afraid they can't hide it. Zhonger, can you change your satisfaction when you return from the border? If you attack at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive. Zheng and Wu's two families have long wanted to replace the military power. Don't let them have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Xia Zhong said lightly, "Big uncle. I have resigned. Return the command of the border gate to the Holy Landlord.

"What! Do you know how many people are jealous of this position and take the initiative to resign? If your father is not here, you want to mess around. The white-haired old man said angrily.

Xia Zhong looked at the old man and said slowly, "Big uncle, things are not as you think. The matter of the seven-star stone has aroused the emperor's anger, according to the detectives in the palace. The emperor has already sent two dragon guards out of the palace to look for the seven-star stone. In the theft of treasures in the palace a few months ago, one of the chaotic stones was in my father's hands. In order not to make the emperor suspicious, he had no choice but to make this bad idea.

The white-haired old man calmed down and said, "Zhonger, you and your second brother have the longest time. Now the burden of the Xia family is for you, and you have to think twice about everything.

"What uncle taught me is that I think once there is a war at the border, the emperor will calm down and have the opportunity to return the military power to the Xia family. This time, we can see the intentions of some villains, and it's time to clean up these wall grass..."

Everyone usually dispersed. Xia Zhong said, "Second brother, let's go together."

The two walked to a gazebo and stopped. Charlotte said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for five years!"

"Yes, five years. When I went to the battlefield with my father, you were still crying and wanted to take you with you. In a blink of an eye, he is already an adult. Xia Zhong said with a feeling.

"The eldest brother couldn't be idle for a moment as soon as he returned home. It's all my dereliction of duty. If you pay more attention, this will not happen."

"What is the second brother's impression of Xiao Ran? The third sister's vision should not be wrong."

Xia Luo snorted and said, "It's rare for the third sister to be infatuated, but she looked away. I was a little impressed when I saw this person at the beginning. I know everything about astronomy and geography. Martial arts is even more strange. The replacement of the Xia family won the first place in the school inspection in the imperial city, which can be said to be both literary and military. If it hadn't been for that night, I still can't see that he is a human-faced beast-hearted villain.

Xia Zhong did not comment on this and asked a few words: "Is what you see must be true?"

"Does the eldest brother think I'm blind?"

Xia Zhong said, "I have read all the information about Xiao Ran. I really can't think of his motivation for doing so. Seven-star stone? Not necessarily! This world is like a painting. Sometimes you have to lift a corner to see what is behind the painting.

Xia Luo was thinking about his eldest brother's words, and Xia Zhong pointed to the distance and said, "That's the courtyard where the third sister lives. It's been four days, and the light in the room is still on.

Xia Zhong was surprised by his eldest brother's memory. Five years have passed. He can still distinguish the residence of the third sister among the many residences in Xiafu. She nodded and said, "The third sister hasn't gone out for many days and has been in her room. It's useless to persuade anyone. There are so many men in the world. The eldest brother should persuade the third sister when he has time.

"The third sister will not accept something easily, and once she is determined, it is difficult to give up. She has been like this since he was a child, and it's the same now. He still has to ring the bell.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran... Everything happened because of this. If I had opposed him being with Sanmei, it wouldn't be the same as now."

"It's getting cold. Let's go back to rest early. The eldest brother has to prepare for the memorial, so he won't send it.

"Brother, take care of yourself and say goodbye."

Royal Palace, Xuanhe Hall. In the study. The old man walked back and forth in a dragon robe and looked a little tired.

After a period of incense, an old eunuch came in outside the door: "Your Majesty. Sun Chenzhi and He Lian asked to see each other.

"Xuan!"

The two looked at each other and walked into the study tacitly; "My minister Sun Chenzhi (He Lian) met the emperor."

"How's the matter going?"

"The minister and other two secretly explored the five factions and did not find Charlotte of the seven-star stone, but it is rumored that four seven-star stones fell into the same person's hands. I didn't dare to delay, so I went back to the palace to report it.

The old man raised his eyebrows: "So, is it true that Xia Shuangtian was assassinated?" The two were shocked and heard that the old man was angry. No one knows why he is angry.

"Hmm, summer frost day. It turned out that you haven't given up for so many years. God opened his eyes and even picked up a stone to hit himself in the foot and fell into Xiao Ran's hands. The old man whispered to himself.

"Go down and continue to inquire about the rest of the seven-star Shi Xia Luo. You can't go back to the palace without news."

"Follow the order!"

The old man sneered and said to himself, "I don't believe that people all over the world can't find you. How long can you hide?"

"Come on, draft!"

"The slave is here."

"The assassination of General Zhenyuan was really unfortunate in the Tang Dynasty. I am deeply uneasy and tell the world. He offered a reward for the murderer Xiao Ran, captured the man and recaptured the seven-star stone, rewarded the fief, and promised to fulfill any of his requirements! "This is my admiration!"

The old eunuch was stunned, and the emperor had never encountered such an imperial edict for many years. It seemed that the emperor was really angry. The world is impermanent. In the past few months, he was still a respected hero in the world, and the portraits were posted in Manzhou County. Now he is a prisoner of the imperial court. As soon as this edict is issued, I'm afraid this person will be arrested in less than a month. After all, the conditions for this reward are too tempting. How can a person compete with the whole world?

No one knows where Xiao Ran is now, and even Xiao Ran himself doesn't know. After walking the mountain road for two days and turning over several hills, I saw several villages. Stay overnight in the village. Ask for the direction and continue on the road. At this time, Xiao Ran is located in Fuzhou. If he wants to go to Luozhou, he will travel for ten days. Fortunately, Xiao Ran has the habit of carrying silver tickets with him. Changing horses along the way should save a lot of time.

When you get to the nearest city, it will be dark. The gate guard looked at Xiao Ran sleepily and opened the gate with a few taels of silver handed over in his hand. Xiao Ran hasn't eaten well for a few days, and now he can't wait to be a full ghost. Unfortunately, most of the stores are closed. Then he found a noodle stall and sat down: "Boss, five bowls of Yangchun noodles.
