Chapter 423: You plan to keep avoiding the imperial capital
Ye Lixuan tried his best to keep up, but he couldn't reveal his cultivation level. After chasing for a while, he found that he had been left behind.
Gu Xiaoxi caught up with Ye Lixuan, and suddenly remembered that Tan Dahe wanted to talk to her about something, so she simply pulled Ye Lixuan away and said, "Let's go home and talk tomorrow."
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan thought about some misunderstandings today. If he didn't go back, everyone would think that something had gone wrong. He had some thoughts in his mind.
So the two of them went back and bought some other jewelry before returning to the village.
Chai thought Gu Xiaoxi would not be back tonight, so she bought some food and took everyone home to cook.
Concubine Pang wanted to talk to Ye Lixuan, but found that Chen Qinian and the others had returned, but Ye Lixuan had not returned yet, so she asked Nanny Yang to go and ask what happened.
Chen Qinian was still upset that his master was abducted by the Second Master. When he heard Nanny Yang asking about the situation, he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he saw two people walking in from the gate of the manor.
"What do you want from me?" Ye Lixuan asked.
"Second Master, Madam is looking for you!" said Nanny Yang with a smile.
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan responded and entered the courtyard where his mother lived.
"You guys go have fun!" Gu Xiaoxi said and went over to help with cooking.
When Mrs. Chai and Mrs. Xue saw Gu Xiaoxi coming back, they were very curious about why she came back so soon.
Aren't they going to look for someone?
Gu Xiaoxi walked over to her mother and sister-in-law and said, "Don't tell anyone about what you saw today, okay?"
Um!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law nodded in tacit understanding.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't say anything more and started to work as a chef.
There is no need to open the store tonight, and the people in the village are not idle after getting up. Most of them go to the fields to weed and water.
When it was almost dark, everyone returned home.
Gu Xiaoxi called out and everyone came over to eat together.
During the meal, Gu Xiaoxi noticed that Concubine Pang seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't talk much to everyone.
Nanny Yang has been trying to smooth things over. She was curious about what Ye Lixuan said to Concubine Pang after he came back?
Never mind!
As long as she is happy, that's fine.
We drank too much last night, so no one dared to drink tonight. However, the food Gu Xiaoxi cooked was delicious, so everyone couldn't help but have a few drinks.
After dinner, the elders gathered together to discuss the marriage of the two newlyweds.
Zhang Shu was also pulled over because he was responsible for helping to find people.
Chen Qinian was originally gloating, but he didn't expect to hear Sister Xiaoxi speak.
"Qinian, you go and help Zhang Shu. He definitely can't handle it all by himself." Gu Xiaoxi said.
"Yes, Master!" Chen Qinian could only obey and do as he was told.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at Chen Qinian's depressed expression and couldn't help laughing.
She thought that she had cast a spell on Scarface today and would go out to look for him later.
When passing by the courtyard where Concubine Pang lived at night, the mother and son started arguing for some unknown reason.
"Are you planning to keep avoiding the Imperial Capital?
We've been out for so long, it's time to go back. And regarding your relationship with Gu Xiaoxi, how are you going to convince your father?" Concubine Pang felt that she couldn't avoid this matter at all.
"Don't worry, mother. There are people watching over the capital. If anything big happens, I will definitely be there." Ye Lixuan told his mother not to worry.
As for the matter between him and Gu Xiaoxi, there was no need to rush. The princes were all busy trying to get to the throne, and his father had no time to take care of him, a so-called sickly child.
"The imperial capital is so far away from here. If there is turmoil, it will be too late when you go back." Concubine Pang was very disappointed.
Gu Xiaoxi felt that what Concubine Pang said was correct. This place was indeed a bit far from the imperial capital.
No matter who comes to power, Ye Lixuan must be prepared.
Ye Lixuan ran into Gu Xiaoxi when he came out. He took Gu Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Don't rush back. They have a lot of things to do over there."
"It's up to you, just arrange it. I'll be out for a few days." Gu Xiaoxi said.
"Are you going to find Scarface?" Ye Lixuan guessed the reason why she went out.
Um!
Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
"I..." Before Ye Lixuan could finish his words, his mother's voice came from behind him.
"Go quickly, you mama's boy!" Gu Xiaoxi said in a pretended angry tone and walked out of the farm quickly.
Ye Lixuan raised his hand, smiled helplessly, and turned to enter his mother's yard.
Gu Xiaoxi left the farm and walked for a while. She found a place and took out a horse from the space. She drew a talisman in the air and then rode the horse to find Scarface.
Scarface was not far from where Gu Xiaoxi was. About an hour later, she arrived at a nearby town.
This town is relatively wealthy among the nearby towns, and there are many large courtyards with red bricks and green tiles in the town.
Gu Xiaoxi found the location of Scarface. She put on an invisibility talisman and climbed over the wall into the yard.
At this time, it was already dark and the yard was pitch black, with not even a light on.
She approached the scent cautiously and came to a study.
I walked to the window and looked inside, but there was no one in the study.
If there is no one here, it means there is a secret underground room.
She carefully opened the window a little, climbed in through the window, and soon found the entrance to the secret room.
Crunch!
She opened the mechanism of the secret room and walked in. After entering, the door of the secret room closed automatically.
The people in the secret room heard the noise and hurried over to see what was going on.
Finding the door of the secret room closed, the old man muttered, "Strange, there's no one here, why is there a noise?"
He waved his hand and a talisman was drawn in the air.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxi immediately drew another talisman to avoid being discovered.
The old man didn't notice anyone coming in, so he turned and walked into the secret passage.
Gu Xiaoxi followed carefully, and after walking for a while, they came to a large secret room.
There was a large cage in the secret room, and Scarface and his two men were locked in the cage.
The old man walked to the table and sat down, fiddling with a sand table in his hand. Next to him was the big gold bracelet given by Scarface.
After a while, an old woman came out from the next house.
"Old man, maybe they just mean well?" The old woman said after looking at Scarface and the others.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. These people don't look like good people. Let's throw water on them to wake them up," said the old man.
When the old woman heard the old man say this, she turned and went into a room. When she came out, she had a basin of water in her hand.
Crash!
The basin of water fell on Scarface and the others.
Ugh!
Scarface woke up and cursed: "What the hell is this? Why does it stink so bad?"
"This is the water I use to wash my feet. Tell me, why are you here?" The old woman spoke politely for the sake of the gold bracelet.
"Mother-in-law, I'm here for the master. The master wants to invite two great masters to come out of seclusion. You set the conditions!" Scarface said sincerely.
The old man said disapprovingly: "We set the conditions. We want mountains of gold and silver. Can your master afford it?"
"I can afford it, I can afford it. Our master is the current crown prince. As long as you two are willing to help, what are mountains of gold and silver?
As long as our master takes that position, the fiefdom will not be short of two powerful men." Scarface saw them putting forward conditions and began to paint a rosy picture for them.
