Lu Aotian was starving like a dog, so he quickly took a bite.

His soul soared to the sky and he said, "Oh my god! This is so delicious!"

The food on the island is terrible, it's either fish or shrimp.

It was only after leaving the island that I discovered there were so many delicious foods out there.

This family’s sugar buns are the best.

He took another bite of the pancake.

Ah! The sesame cake is so delicious!!! Lu Aotian's eyes glowed green as he wolfed it down.

Su Xiaoxiao sat on the small bench opposite him, looking at him with her hands on her cheeks: "Do you want to tell me some more information?"

"Haven't I finished what I said?"

Lu Aotian is very busy with his mouth!

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You just said that Xiahou Yan came to the Great Zhou to control the royal family in order to become the next city lord, but isn't he an adopted son? Is an adopted son also qualified to be the heir?"

Lu Aotian took a bite of a brown sugar bun and a bite of a brown sugar pancake, puffed his cheeks and said, "The island owner has no biological sons, only four adopted sons!"

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Why doesn't he have a biological son?"

Lu Aotian said: "How should I know? I'm not from the Xiahou family!"

Su Xiaoxiao opened the lunch box and took out a bowl of homemade canned lychees.

The sweet aroma of lychees instantly filled Lu Aotian's nose.

After eating so much dry food, Lu Aotian immediately felt a little choked.

There are two bowls in total.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a bowl and started eating.

“How sweet!”

Her little round face is so cute and she looks very hungry when eating.

Lu Aotian swallowed his saliva and said, "But he has a daughter, born to his wife."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Madam of the City Lord?"

Lu Aotian stared at the can of lychees in Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Concubine."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly finished the first bowl and went to get the second bowl.

Lu Aotian: "The city lord had a relationship with the Palace Master of Baihua Palace in his early years. He was going to marry the Palace Master of Baihua Palace, but later because of the appearance of Madam Ru, the marriage between the two fell through."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Can you tell me more about it?"

Lu Aotian: "I also heard it accidentally, I don't know whether it is true or not."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Just say it."

Lu Aotian sighed, "It is said that Madam Ru was pregnant with the City Lord's child. She was poisoned by the Baihua Palace and only the Hesanghua from the Baihua Palace could cure it. But Hesanghua is a forbidden item in the Baihua Palace, and the Palace Lord refused to give it to her. The City Lord thought the Palace Lord was cruel and overbearing, so he went to the Palace Lord to rob her. Unexpectedly, the Palace Lord of Baihua Palace was also pregnant. After the two of them fought, the Palace Lord became pregnant.

“When the time came for the birth, the Palace Master’s Qi and blood were exhausted, and the child was not born, and in the end, one body died and two lives were lost.

"Since then, the feud between Baihua Palace and the City Lord's Mansion has been formed. When the City Lord learned about this, he regretted it deeply, but it's a pity that the dead cannot be brought back to life."

Su Xiaoxiao hummed.

She came to inquire about Xiahou Yan's background, but she didn't expect to get such a big piece of news.

Seeing her in deep thought, Lu Aotian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said seriously, "I smell dog blood."

Lu Aotian sniffed and frowned, "Is that so? It only tastes like sugar!"

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Does Xiahou Yan know about these things?"

Lu Aotian said, "This kind of thing is a secret. If you spread it, the island owner will kill you. How could he know?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Aotian suspiciously: "How did you know that?"

"I……"

Lu Aotian seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the second bowl of canned lychees.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you friends with the ghost grandma?"

Lu Aotian said, "The ghost lady once needed a medicinal herb that only our Fire Killing Sect had. I went to make a deal with her and overheard her conversation with someone else. Don't tell the ghost lady! If she knew I was eavesdropping, she would kill me!"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a half-smile: "Are you afraid of the ghost?"

Lu Aotian curled his lips and said, "Even Old Qiu lost to her. Who on the island is not afraid of her?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Being such a powerful person, there must be some truth in what she says.

Although I don't know what use these gossips are to me for the time being, I have to go to Qianshan Island, and it always does good to know more inside information.

Lu Aotian was so focused on eating buns and sesame cakes that he didn't react for a moment. Su Xiaoxiao didn't even ask who the ghost grandma was.

It is impossible for a person from the Great Zhou to have heard of the ghost grandma unless she has contacts with the people on the island.

Lu Aotian was still not satisfied: "I want another sesame cake!" - Coming out of the woodshed, Su Xiaoxiao digested the information provided by Lu Aotian.

Let’s not talk about the bloody love triangle for now.

It is known that Xiahou Yan came to Da Zhou on orders from the owner of Qianshan Island, who is also the city lord.

From this, it can be inferred that there must have been city lords around Zong Zhengming of Southern Xinjiang.

The spy chief also said that the Killer Alliance would not easily accept missions from the royal family unless there was a middleman that the Killer Alliance had to give face to.

If the middleman is the city lord's confidant, everything can be explained.

After Zong Zhenghui regained the throne, he checked all the remaining forces of Zong Zhengming one by one, but found no suspicious persons.

"But there is one person who has not been found."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes paused, "Xie Jinnian." -The sea is blue and the sky is blue, with waves on the sea.

After drifting for many days, a large ship finally passed through a strait that could be called a ghost town on the last day of April.

After that, the strait will be covered with thick fog and there will be no way to get out.

Unfortunately, although they passed this place safely, they encountered a rare storm afterwards.

The ship was half destroyed, but fortunately there was an isolated island nearby.

The group swam to the island and it took them half a month to repair the boat.

After that the weather was not suitable for going out to sea.

When we finally landed on the island, it was already June, the height of summer.

The boat owner panted and said to the young man on the deck, "Sir, we're here! We're at the island you mentioned!"

After sailing on the sea for so long, they were all in a state of disrepair.

But looking at this noble young man, apart from his slightly chapped lips, he didn't look depressed at all.

He has an air of purity and nobility, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

Xie Jinnian gave him a bag of gold.

The boat owner was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir!"

Xie Jinnian got off the boat and took off the human skin mask on his face as he walked.

Half an hour later, he entered the city, selected a horse, and galloped all the way to a fortress.

The guard at the gate saw someone riding a horse and shouted, "Who is it? Get off your horse!"

When Xie Jinnian's horse approached, the guards quickly recognized him, immediately stepped aside, and respectfully bowed to let him pass.

The horses drove into the dock.

Xie Jinnian dismounted, handed the horse to a servant, and entered a magnificent tower.

He climbed up to the top floor in one breath and said to the city lord who was standing on the railing overlooking the entire island: "Foster father, I'm back."

It’s time to open the last map. I’ll sort out the outline. See you tomorrow.

By the way, please give me some monthly tickets.
