The word "grandfather" made King Nanyang pause.

He frowned, looked at the three little kids, then raised his eyes and looked out the door.

It was a four-year-old girl passing by the door calling her grandfather.

The middle-aged man smiled gently, picked her up, and asked with a smile: "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to eat candied haws." said the little girl in a sweet voice.

The middle-aged man smiled cheerfully: "Okay! Grandpa will take you to buy it!"

The three little ones also saw this scene.

Xiaohu blinked and called grandpa to eat candy, and he wanted some too.

He opened his mouth to scream.

His little mouth was covered by the big tiger.

"You can't call me grandpa randomly!" Dahu sternly taught his naughty brother a lesson.

Xiaohu doesn't understand what "grandfather" means, but Dahu does. Unlike titles like grandpa, grandma, uncles and aunts, "grandfather" is quite specific. For example, any elder in the village can be called "grandfather": Grandpa Li, Grandpa Zhang, etc., but there is no such thing as "Grandpa Li" or "Grandpa Zhang".

"Only my mother's father can be called grandpa."

Da Hu understood it clearly. He pointed at Prince Nanyang and said, "He is not one of them."

King Nanyang frowned.

"Mom's father is grandpa!" Erhu said.

"Yes! It's Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!" Xiaohu jumped up excitedly when he thought of Su Cheng.

This question is beyond the scope... Why is it that other people's mother's father is their grandfather, while their mother's father is their grandfather?

In the near future he will learn a word - son-in-law.

But he obviously didn't know that at the moment.

Dahu successfully got stuck.

"Idiot with the big axe! Idiot with the big axe!" Xiaohu ran around Dahu.

"I'm not a fool!" Dahu stomped his feet.

Little Tiger ran while making faces and sticking out his tongue: "Come on, come on! Catch me! Lulululu!"

Da Hu went to catch his stinky little brother.

Erhu tried to smooth things over: "Little Tiger, run! Big Tiger, come on!"

The three little ones started playing wildly in the yard, and the place that had been secluded for many years suddenly became noisy.

The Gu Master knew that his master liked quietness, so he walked over and said, "Master, wait for me to put some Gu in them, and they will immediately..."

King Nanyang interrupted him: "Call Scorpio."

The Gu Master was stunned for a moment, glanced at the three little ones who were in a panic, and said, "Yes."

Scorpio is a code name, not a real name.

The Gu Master released a carrier pigeon for communication.

About half an hour later, the man codenamed Scorpio appeared in King Nanyang's study.

"Scorpio has met the master."

Xu Qing knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.

“La la la ~ la la la ~”

Little Tiger was twirling his butt in the yard.

The three little guys had no awareness of being hostages at all. They were very brave and energetic. Even the dog next door was driven into autism by their noise.

Prince Nanyang sat on a chair, dim light covering most of his figure, making him exude a cold and sinister aura.

"Is everything going well in the capital?" asked King Nanyang.

Xu Qing reported: "Xiao Duye has fallen out of favor recently, and Xiao Chonghua has become the most popular. However, Emperor Jingxuan does not favor this son, but he had to reward him because of his contributions. Xiao Shunyang has been very low-key since returning from Taolin. He should be the most favored candidate of Emperor Jingxuan now."

As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Being low-key occasionally is not a bad thing.

King Nanyang did not comment. He pointed at the three little guys outside and asked, "What's going on with them?"

Xu Qing said truthfully: "Wei Ting was injured in Qingzhou and was picked up by Su Cheng, along with his three sons."

The Qin and Su families announced to the public that the three children were adopted by Su Cheng from outside, but Xu Qing had met Old Man Su and Su Dalang, and learned the truth from them that the three children were actually Wei Ting's sons.

It’s hard to say whether they are biological children or not, but the villagers think so.

King Nanyang asked, “Have you never seen them before?”

A rhetorical question sometimes means questioning.

Xu Qing said, "I have seen it."

Prince Nanyang said calmly, "Didn't their appearance make you suspicious?"

Xu Qing answered honestly: "They look like Princess Min, and are very likely... the flesh and blood of Princess Min and Wei Ting."

The King of Nanyang did not send anyone to monitor the Wei family. He did not need to. Wu Anjun would take the initiative to tell him everything about the Wei family.

Mo Guiyuan had indeed monitored her before, but he didn't know Xiao Min's identity, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to a little mute in the yard of Old Lady Wei.

Only Old Lady Wei knew about the affair between Wei Liulang and Xiao Min; she did not tell Wu Anjun who was far away at the border.

Prince Nanyang asked, "If he is Xiao Min's flesh and blood, why is he not mentioned in the intelligence?"

Xu Qing paused and said, "I think this is not important, unless you intend to use them as a bargaining chip to threaten the Wei family, but I think you probably don't want to do that."

The King of Nanyang spoke in a low voice, but it was chilling like ice: "Don't speculate on my thoughts or make any decisions for me. Your mission is to collect intelligence. It is not up to you to judge whether it is important or not."

Xu Qing lowered his head: "I know I was wrong."

"Go and accept the punishment yourself."

"yes."

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qing came out of a secret room in the basement, covered in blood.

The Gu Master handed him a set of clean clothes at the door and said, "I guess it would be better for you to change your clothes before going back."

Xu Qing stretched out his torn hand and took the clothes.

Xu Qing said indifferently: "It seems that there is no friendship between us."

The Gu Master smiled leisurely and said, "After all, we are working for the same master. What is the relationship between the three children and the master?"

Although he was a little slow to realize it, he finally noticed that the three little guys had some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows with their master.

Xu Qing said: "This is none of your business."

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask myself." The Gu Master really came to King Nanyang's study.

The master hated those who were nagging and talking nonsense, so he simply got straight to the point and said, "Master, those three children... I want to pick one to make a Gu child. After the Gu is made, I will use the human as a Gu, and then I will use the Gu on Wei Ting. No one will be able to cure it."

He considered his tone and carefully observed his master's expression. If his master refused, he would never mention the matter again.

King Nanyang said indifferently: "It's up to you."

The Gu Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was worthy of being the master, the most ruthless and heartless person.

He smiled and said, "I will definitely not let my master down. I will use the Golden Toad Gu as the mother Gu and refine the most powerful child Gu!"

The Golden Toad Gu was the most powerful Gu he had ever refined, and he was reluctant to use it even on Wei Ting and Jing Yi.

He had to think about who to refine into a Gu boy. The three little guys all had good aptitude. The one called Da Hu was the strongest and should be able to withstand the poison the most. The one called Er Hu was also good, but he didn't know if he would be poisoned to death halfway.

Or maybe the youngest one, he is the noisiest.

The owner hates noisy children.

The courtyard became quiet, and the Gu Master was a little surprised: "Are you finally exhausted? That's good, it will save me a lot of energy later."

The Gu Master had never raised a child, otherwise he would know - the child was quiet, so he must be up to something.

The three little ones were playing hide-and-seek, and while hiding they came to a room filled with jade jars.

Among them was a jade jar that was large and beautiful.

Da Hu opened the lid, revealing a palm-sized toad. It was white, but had a faint black tint all over its body.

"What is this?" Xiaohu asked.

"Toad," said Da Hu, "it seems to be sick."

"It's not an illness." Erhu pointed at the toad and the little charlatan said, "The forehead is black, it's poisoned!"

"The forehead is black." Xiaohu imitated, "囧(中)毒!"

"I have the antidote." Erhu had a lot of treasures in his pocket. He took out the Bagua mirror, a small stone, and finally a small medicine bottle, from which he poured out a small yellow pill without any label.

He stuffed the small yellow pill into the golden toad Gu's mouth.

The golden toad Gu feeds on poison, so suddenly an antidote pill appears, which is like a power-dissolving powder.

Swish! Its toxicity dropped by half.

Once it actually enters the human body, its toxicity changes and it becomes a living poison, which the Xiaohuang Pills cannot cure.

But for now, the little yellow pill is effective.

Tiger watched it turn a little whiter, clapped his hands and shouted, "Another one! Another one!"

Erhu fed another one.

Swish! The toxicity dropped by half again.

Xiaohu screamed: "I want more! I want more!"

Erhu fed it five or six pills in one breath, and when the Gu Master came to find his Golden Toad Gu, it had returned to its original state.

The Gu Master looked at the toad that he had spent more than half a year to refine, and fed it with countless powerful poisonous Gu to refine it, but it was destroyed in one night. He felt terrible!

The blood boiled up all of a sudden!

“What are you doing!?”

He roared angrily! The three little guys were frightened by him.

The Gu Master was furious. To him, Gu was his life. No one could touch his Gu. If anyone did, the person would die!

"You...you...I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

"Run!" Dahu made a quick decision and pulled his two younger brothers to run outside.

The Gu Master picked up a wooden stick and chased after him.

He's going to beat them to death!

Kill them all!

No, he wanted to refine them all into Gu children! Let them live a life worse than death! The three little guys ran away chirping!

Prince Nanyang was sorting out the intelligence from various spies when suddenly, three little kids ran in in shock.

Without saying a word, the three of them walked around the desk, came in front of him, and climbed onto his thighs as if they were running for their lives.

"Where are you escaping to? Stop right there!"

The Gu Master rushed in murderously, raised his wooden stick and was about to hit the three people, but stopped in time when he saw King Nanyang.

Only then did he realize that the three little guys had broken into their master's study.

No matter how irrational he became, he would never dare to attack King Nanyang.

He put down the stick and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I disturbed you. I'll take them away right away!"

After that, he said to the three people coldly: "You guys, get down here!"

The three men refused to come down and just stayed in King Nanyang's arms.

They are villains and have long seen that the Gu Master is afraid of King Nanyang.

They didn't know that King Nanyang was the most terrifying.

King Nanyang looked at the three little guys in his arms coldly, and was about to raise his hand to throw them down one by one.

But suddenly, the three of them stretched out their soft little arms and hugged his neck tightly.

Three round little heads also buried deeply in his arms, and his cold arms were suddenly filled.

See you tomorrow, Fei Zhang
