Chapter 1393: What should come will always come
Meng Xiao has been in Dusk City, beside the old man with a slight smoke.
But this time the old man left too suddenly, and he hadn't received the news yet. He believed it was a coincidence, but that didn't take away the uneasiness in his heart.
He has always been grateful to the old man for being so protective of himself.
In fact, he knew the true identity of the ghost brake, once he stole the portrait of the ghost brake issued by the alliance leader to the various ministries, although it was destroyed soon after, but he still recognized Sun Shiyu's outline at a glance.
For a while, he was very scared, afraid that if he was found out, he didn't know how he would be treated by the alliance.
He sat on the couch, and his heart was not steady, as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He stood up and walked back and forth, his brow furrowed.
After a while, he walked to the window door and gently pushed it, and at some point a thin layer of silver was lit in the courtyard.
"It's snowing......" I don't know if the snow from the front line has spread to Dusk City, he looked at the snow in a daze, his eyes suddenly traveled through time, he seemed to see three half-grown children in rags walking barefoot on the street.
The same snow, but at that time there were three people warming each other, although they were freezing to death, their hearts were like spring, and the cold stone road became a field of hope, carefree and free.
The panicked heart calmed down suddenly.
"There must be a reason for you to do that. After he finished talking to himself, he suddenly pushed the door out of the house and came into the courtyard.
There was a person standing on the roof in the three directions of the south, east, west, and west, with a very grim expression, dressed in a black coat, and he was solemn.
"Are you Meng Xiao?" asked a man.
Meng Xiao calmly responded: "It's me." ”
"On the secret order of the alliance leader, please go back and assist in the investigation. ”
"What about the alliance leader's warrant?" Meng Xiao didn't run the rivers and lakes on the first day.
"If it's a secret order, what other warrant?" the man's eyes lit up and he slowly raised his hand.
"Wait, I'll go back with you. Meng Xiao said flatly that he had long thought about this day, so he was not surprised.
......
Chao Mansion vestibule.
A person fell from the beam, with a meaningful smile: "Chao Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay lately?"
When Hou Chuchu saw his appearance clearly, he was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but hide behind Chao Xuesong.
Chao Xuesong was stunned and said, "Zhu Yaorong, why are you?"
The boss in his heart was unhappy, and he didn't like to hide it: "What are you interested in, learning from that gentleman on the beam, not afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Holy Land?"
"I'm thinking about you. Zhu Yaorong spread his hands, teasing Hou Chuchu out of the corner of his eyes, and said locally, "Your family has a charming lady, and you are not at home for three days, if I take the liberty to come to the door, others will gossip, so I have to hide on this beam, waiting for you to return day and night." ”
Hou Chuchu's face suddenly lost its blood, and he said in a panic: "You, you ......"
Since she can hide on the beam without being discovered by her, can she also hide in her room? When she thought of this possibility, her shame and indignation could be imagined.
Chao Xuesong was very calm, and patted her hand soothingly: "Don't be afraid, he's joking." ”
Zhu Yaorong smiled and said in surprise: "How do you know that I mean to laugh?"
Chao Xuesong pointed to his boots: "The mud on your feet is freshly stained, and you have some sand with you, which means that you have only recently returned from outside the city." ”
"Ah!" Zhu Yaorong patted his head in annoyance, and then laughed again, "Ah, it's just a joke, Mrs. Chu Chu don't mind." Think about the first time I saw you two years ago, when you were not old, Zhu liked it at a glance, but unfortunately it was preempted by Cedar, after knowing this, I really beat my chest, and I couldn't sleep at night!"
Hiss –
Chao Xuesong drew his sword expressionlessly, and the blade of the sword rubbed against the scabbard, sending out a penetrating chill.
"Okay, well, I'm looking for you for something. Zhu Yaorong finally didn't forget the business.
"I don't want to hear it, you can go. Chao Xuesong pulled out his sword, "This place is the mansion that I bought from the Tiangong Workshop, if I trespass next time, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword." ”
Zhu Yaorong sighed helplessly, he and Chao Xuesong met in a local battle more than a year ago, when the two worked together for the first time, Chao Xuesong was still a fledgling young boy, and he would blush when he was said more, but now, this battlefield made him have a earth-shaking transformation.
It is said that strong strength will make people confident, and Chao Xuesong is probably such a person.
Zhu Yaorong's eyes rolled, but he smiled again: "Are you sure you want to drive me away?"
"What did you say?" Chao Xuesong's expression changed.
"If you want to know, just come out, there are some things that are not suitable for the girls to know. Zhu Yaorong turned around and walked out.
"Husband!" Hou Chuchu looked up at Chao Xuesong.
"I'll go and come back, don't worry. Chao Xuesong was anxious, reassured her, and chased away.
In the courtyard, Zhu Yaorong was waiting for him under a tree, and when he saw him coming, his expression was straight, and he said, "Do you remember the battle that the alliance leader personally commanded half a month ago?"
Chao Xuesong nodded.
"I met Chao Buzhi in one place. Zhu Yaorong exhaled slowly, as if he had palpitations, "He is very miserable, he was tied up in a place of resentment, I went down for less than half a pillar of incense, and almost lost my mind." ”
Chao Xuesong's heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "He, is he still alive?"
"Wait, why should I believe what you say!" he looked at him coldly, holding back his grief.
"If you don't believe it, just don't believe it!" Zhu Yaorong's face suddenly turned ugly, "Lao Tzu was kind enough to tell you the news, but you didn't appreciate it." ”
Chao Xuesong looked at his face suspiciously, and after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any benefit for him to deceive himself.
"Alas!" Zhu Yaorong suddenly sighed again, "If it weren't for the sake of our cooperation, I wouldn't have wanted to take it out." ”
As he spoke, he took out a flying sword stained with mud from his storage bag: "This is what I picked up in that place." ”
Chao Xuesong took it and patted the dirt on it, and the flying sword gradually revealed its original appearance, only to see that the sword body was like red copper, with some red.
His face was bloodless in an instant, and there was a "bang" in his mind: "This, this is Crimson, Xiao, Uncle's flying sword......"
Zhu Yaorong secretly wiped his sweat, and said in his heart that he was fascinated at the beginning, thinking that this sword was worth some money, so he picked it up as a treasure. This stupid boy has been fooled, wait until I stimulate him again.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be sad and said, "If your uncle calls Chao Buzhi, then he is right." Alas, his mind was already confused, and he just said vigorously: 'Cedar, don't come...... Cedar, don't you come to ......'"
Chao Xuesong is still too tender, and when she heard this, tears fell from her eyes: "Uncle, I, what have I done in the past two years......"
He suddenly grabbed Zhu Yaorong's chest: "Where is my uncle, where is my uncle......"
Zhu Yaorong's cheeks trembled slightly, and he quickly withdrew and said three words in a deep voice.
But after Chao Xuesong heard this, he didn't leave the city directly as he imagined, but wiped his tears and said, "Thank you......"
His back was wet with cold sweat in an instant, could he have seen through it?
"Then I'll go first. He arched his hand and quickly slipped over the wall.
Chao Xuesong returned to the front hall and guest hall, and Hou Chuchu was even more worried when he saw that his face was wrong.
"Husband, madam......" Chao Xuesong pulled her to sit down, a little ashamed, a little reluctant.
"Why did the husband suddenly change his words," Hou Chuchu pretended not to know, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you even shout people's names before?" ”
Chao Xuesong suddenly hugged her: "Knowing you is the greatest luck in my life...... But I was so worried that I couldn't stand the torment for a moment...... Sorry ......"
Hou Chuchu understood all of a sudden, she quietly wiped away her tears behind his back, and said softly: "No matter what your husband wants to do, Chuchu will support you." ”
