Su Xiaoxiao came over immediately.

Wei Qing handed her the city lord's seal.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at it over and over again: "Is this the city lord's seal? Feng, Du, Xia, Hou."

Fengdu City, Xiahou family.

Coupled with the special jade quality of this seal, it is enough to illustrate its uniqueness.

But why was it mixed in with Erhu's little stones? Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xing'er in great surprise.

Xing Er saw her young lady's surprise and confusion, and she shook her head: "I don't know either."

"I'll go ask Erhu!"

"Miss, ask again tomorrow."

“Can’t wait!”

This matter is of great importance, and we must find out the origin of the City Lord's Seal.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the room of the three kids. They were sleeping soundly with their legs up in the air.

Su Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, poked Erhu's little face, and called softly: "Erhu, Erhu."

Erhu opened his eyes in a daze and called out "Mom" softly.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart almost melted. She took out the city lord seal and waved it in front of him: "Erhu, is this yours?"

Erhu was the child with the best temper. He didn't get angry even when he was disturbed while sleeping. He tried very hard to open his two little eyes and look.

"It's... Erhu's..."

"Where are you from?" Su Xiaoxiao asked again.

"I exchanged it with... the lucky stone... and the city lord..."

"A little lucky stone?"

Su Xiaoxiao was secretly puzzled.

What little stone did you have that could make Xiahou Qing willingly exchange it for the City Lord Seal? Did you exchange it with him for a golden stone? No, this is something that cannot be exchanged for gold.

Erhu crawled into Su Xiaoxiao's arms and said in a daze: "Grandpa City Lord is drunk..."

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

So that's what is happening.

On the day of arresting Elder Liu, Xiahou Qing became jealous of Wei Xu again. In order to help Wei Xu out, Ling Yun invited Xiahou Qing to dinner.

Xiahou Qing was so happy that he had a few drinks and got drunk.

I heard that he even lay on the ground and let three children ride on him like a big horse. His back and waist ached from the riding, and he was staggering when he walked.

"Well, it seems to be the case."

Ling Yun came over from Qingyun Palace. After hearing the whole story, he recalled the scene of that day. "Er Hu said something to him and even showed him his little stone. I didn't pay attention to it."

The main reason was that I didn't expect that Erhu, this villain, would set his sights on the city lord's seal.

"The City Lord's Seal is indeed beautiful." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The material of the city lord's seal is the extremely rare He's Bi, which has intricate carvings and delicate patterns. It is smaller than the royal jade seal and is easy to carry.

"Erhu has good vision."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise her son again.

Ling Yun also felt that the little evil disciple had done something great.

What the two didn’t know was that there were actually some small incidents in the middle of this matter.

After Xiahou Qing caught Elder Liu sneaking Dragon Crystal out of the mansion, he basically confirmed Xiahou Yi's ambition.

Logically speaking, he should have gone back to Xiahou Yi immediately to call him to account.

At this time, Ling Yun invited him to dinner. If he only wanted to find Xiahou Yi to ask for punishment and refused Ling Yun's invitation, then he would definitely "fall into the trap" with the city lord's seal.

Fortunately, he didn't do that.

He drank too much during the meal and was fooled by Erhu, a little charlatan, and even gave up the city lord's seal.

When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he sobered up.

At that time, he wanted to come back to get the city lord's seal, and asked Manager Chang to prepare a carriage to go to Baihua Palace.

Manager Chang asked him why he was going out again after just coming back.

In the past, he would never have been so “indifferent” to the City Lord’s Seal.

But it was hard to explain, but after spending an afternoon with the kids, something quietly changed in his heart.

In a nutshell, in short, I just got carried away and put the city lord's seal aside.

Then, he was harmed by Xiahou Yi.

Lu Aotian couldn't stay too long and had already left.

Before leaving, Xing'er gave him a bag of hot candy beans.

Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Qing, and Ling Yun sat around the stone table in the yard, staring at the city lord's seal in front of them.

"Say something?"

Wei Qing spoke.

Su Xiaoxiao: "If the city lord seal is gone, Erhu will be sad."

Wei Qing: “…”

Wei Qing looked at Ling Yun again.

Ling Yun took a deep breath: "Whenever he is sad, Da Hu and Xiao Hu will play music and sing to cheer him up."

Wei Qing had a picture in his mind.

Wei Qing said to Ling Yun: "So you should quickly become the city lord and give the city lord seal to Erhu to play with every day."

Ling Yun: “…”

Joking aside, they quickly got down to business.

Xiahou Yi has not yet found the reason why he launched a "massacre" against the Baihua Palace. He does not have the city lord seal in his hand and cannot command all the sects on the island, especially the four major sects.

Therefore, he could only start by clipping the wings of Baihua Palace and bribing and controlling various sects in large numbers.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Will he guess where the city lord's seal is?"

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said, "He probably couldn't guess it. If he had guessed it, he would have sent people to steal it long ago. Besides, his previous provocations against Baihua Palace were just to test whether Ling Yun had the City Lord's Seal. If Ling Yun had it, he would have shown up with the City Lord's Seal long ago."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Second brother is right."

He immediately looked at Ling Yun: "What are your plans next?"

Ling Yun didn't say anything.

Wei Qing said: "Inheriting the position of city lord is the only way to fight against Xiahou Yi."

They all knew in their hearts that Ling Yun had no intention of returning to the Xiahou family, but the current situation was unforgiving. Either they would die or Xiahou Yi would die.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything like "No matter what decision you make, we support you."

This matter concerns the life and death of everyone, so we cannot act on impulse.

Wei Qing looked at Ling Yun and said, "Make a decision as soon as possible. I'm afraid we don't have much time left."

Xiahou Yi will not sit still and wait for death. If he cannot get the city lord seal, he will definitely think of other ways to command the major factions.

Not ruling out any means.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "There is still a problem. Xiahou Yi is already spreading rumors that Ling Yun framed the city lord. Even if we take out the city lord seal, Xiahou Yi can say that we stole it, and it happens to be evidence of Ling Yun's patricide."

Wei Qing: “That’s right.”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "The situation is very unfavorable to us."

This old guy Xiahou Yi is so cunning and sly that it is no exaggeration to say that he has left nothing out.

However, it was precisely because he calculated too much that he got the whereabouts of the city lord's seal wrong.

"Is there any news from Xie Jinnian?" Wei Qing asked.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Xie Jinnian was locked up in a dungeon, surrounded by a group of hounds guarding him. Even the Five Tigers couldn't fly in." - A dark and damp dungeon.

Xie Jinnian sat cross-legged on the ground with his back against the cold, hard wall.

Suddenly, the cell door opened.

Xiahou Zheng walked in with an arrogant look.
