Chapter 178 Not a Thing
"Second cousin, I have to rush back to Yushan to report. The capital will rely heavily on you."
"Cousin, that's too formal. We brothers don't need to be polite. Besides, protecting the Xu family is also our responsibility as an Dark Chamber."
"Second cousin, take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
The two brothers just met and said a few words before parting again.
Looking at Tianrang riding away, Mo Shang felt a surge of emotion in his heart: He is indeed worthy of being the child of my aunt and uncle!
At the same time, he thought of the Prince's Junior Tutor Qi Ye.
His cousin said that he was the one who harmed the Qi family, and he was not from Wuxi. According to their investigation, this person had close contacts with Qinglan Country. Could he be a spy sent by Qinglan Country?
The more Mo Shang thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. After all, all signs indicated that this person had some kind of relationship with Qinglan Kingdom.
And does this person have another identity?
Thinking of this, Mo Shang's face suddenly darkened. He quickly called someone over, whispered a few words to him, and then the person left in a hurry...
Xu family.
After the Xu Yucang brothers returned home, they sent someone to inform their mother and wife, and then followed Xu Zhou quickly into the study.
Xuzhou looked his two sons up and down, then nodded and said, "It seems that you two brothers have not suffered much. Tell me quickly, what happened and why did you disappear?"
Xu Yucang was the first to respond: "Father, this matter is a bit strange. It's also my fault for being careless."
"Um"
"We were on our way to look for Minister Wu when we suddenly smelled the fragrance of flowers. When we realized something was wrong, even though we bit our tongues, it was too late."
"Floral Fragrance"
Seeing Xu Zhou's puzzled look, Xu Yulan also responded: "Yes, father. That flower fragrance is very strange, and we have never smelled it before."
"Since he suddenly appeared, he must have known where you two were. Think about it, did anyone know where you were that day?"
As soon as Xu Zhou asked this question, Xu Yucang responded, "Father, I've thought about this question. But after thinking about it, I can't remember who I told this to."
"That day, we went to look for Minister Wu. It was a sudden decision, and we left the mansion directly. If you ask who knows, then apart from those who are very close to my brother and me, no one should know."
Hearing this, Xuzhou thought for a moment and raised his head to ask again: "Did anyone visit that day?"
Hearing this question, Xu Yucang frowned and thought about what happened that day.
Xu Yulan stroked his chin and pondered...
Suddenly, Xu Yulan raised his head and asked in confusion, "As for the visitors, there were two that day."
"Which two?"
"The wife of the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor has come to the mansion, and with her comes her old daughter who has lived in a nunnery for a long time."
Hearing this, Xu Yucang stared at Xu Yulan with wide eyes: "Wonderful!"
Xu Yulan nodded with a grumpy expression, "That's right. But this Qi Yan, I always feel something is amiss."
Hearing that Qi Ye's wife and his daughter who had not been seen for a long time had come to the house, Xuzhou frowned.
He had a hunch that something bad was bound to happen when the mother and daughter came to the house.
After thinking it over, he looked at Xu Yulan and said, "Go and ask your mother to come over."
Although somewhat puzzled, Xu Yulan did not ask, but responded: "Yes, father."
Xu Yucang, who was always very perceptive, seemed to have noticed something and looked at his father in surprise: "Father, you mean that our disappearance is related to these two people?"
Xuzhou said noncommittally, "These mother and daughter usually stay out of the house, so why did they choose to come to our house on that day? They are definitely not easy to deal with..."
Hearing his father's first comment about the two women being "not easy to deal with," Xu Yucang was momentarily stunned, but then he quickly came to his senses and began to ponder...
Soon, Qi Le followed his youngest son into the study and looked at Xu Zhou with sharp eyes: "Old man, it's for the mother and daughter..."
"Madam, what brings the mother and daughter to the mansion?"
When Qi Le heard this, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly flared up.
Qi Le slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "That mother and daughter are no good. I was on guard when they first came. They actually said they were here to see the flowers and plants in our house. Who would believe that nonsense?"
"I didn't let them down and gave them a chance."
With a snap, he threw the bundle in his hand onto the table, then looked at Xuzhou and his son and said, "Look, look at what these are. I knew these two had no good intentions."
The Xuzhou father and his two sons looked at the scattered bundle at the same time, and saw three little wooden figures lying on the bundle with needles stuck in their bodies. It was obvious that it was not a good thing.
The father and his two sons' eyes suddenly turned gloomy. They walked to the table, picked up the little wooden man and began to look at it.
This glance was not a big deal, but it made the father and his two sons stand there with their eyes wide open in anger.
They not only knew the birth dates of these three wooden figures by heart, but also could not mention them casually. But now they appeared in their house. If anyone knew about it, it would be a disaster...
If they still can't figure out what the mother and daughter's intentions are, then they have lived in vain for all these years.
Since they dare to do this, they must have a backup plan.
Xuzhou looked at his wife with sharp eyes: "Wife, do you have any arrangements?"
Qi Le rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "Why do you need to worry about this, old man? These are all common tricks used in the harem, and they were arranged long ago."
After hearing what Qi Le said, Xuzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at them seriously and said, "Old woman, the disappearance of the eldest and second brothers must be related to those two. Moreover, as soon as the two brothers disappeared, someone reported the news to Jing'er."
"What"
"How are Jing'er and the others?"
"Father, how are my younger sister and brother-in-law?"
Seeing this, Xuzhou waved his hand and said, "Everything should be fine. I was just worried about you, so I sent someone to help you. Otherwise, do you think that an old man like me can mobilize the two major forces of the Dark Pavilion and the Tianxuan Sect?"
"Dark Chamber"
"Heaven, Tianxuanmen"
The Xu Yucang brothers exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
They speculated for a long time, and although they guessed that it was someone from the martial arts world, they didn't expect it to be these two forces.
This amount of information exploded directly in the minds of the two people.
They had contact with the Dark Chamber, but didn't the Tianxuan Sect say it was secluded from the world?
Is this a plan to be born?
Moreover, how did their younger sister and brother-in-law invite these people?
Oh, that's not right.
The Dark Pavilion is my sister's power, so it's not surprising that they can help me. But why did the Tianxuan Sect help me?
