Chapter 926 I May Have Been in Trouble Again
When the sound of hurried horse hooves and wheels rang out from the end of the night, Xu Quan and Zhili had already left the post station and were standing side by side on the official road, leading their horses.
After a while, the convoy slowly stopped, and a figure jumped off the carriage, walked quickly to the two of them, and called softly: "Brother."
"Little sister."
After more than a month, when Xu Quan met Xu Suisui again, he felt mixed emotions.
Although he didn't know why Wei Changtian suddenly asked Xu Suisui to come over, after a few days of observation, he vaguely guessed that it was definitely not for any good reason.
Compared with Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui's position in Xu Quan's heart is undoubtedly much more important.
Even including Zhili, there is no one in this world who can be compared with Xu Suisui.
Xu Quan would do anything for Xu Suisui, as could be seen from the fact that he left the Daqian Demon Slaying Division without hesitation and came to Xinfeng to help Xu Suisui establish his government.
Just looking at the little sister in front of him with a calm expression, Xu Quan sighed softly in his heart.
He was not stupid, so he could naturally see that Xu Suisui was no longer as close to him as before after she secretly came to "join" Wei Changtian.
At least in the latter's eyes, he should not be as important as Wei Changtian. "Brother, where is Young Master Wei?"
On the other side, as if to verify Xu Quan's guess, Xu Suisui looked around and the first question he asked was -
"He didn't come?"
"My lord is busy with military affairs, so he asked me to pick you up."
Xu Quan smiled and found an excuse for Wei Changtian: "The war is imminent, and now all military affairs need to be taken care of by you, it is really difficult to get away."
"I see."
Xu Suisui nodded slightly and responded, then turned his gaze to Zhili who was beside Xu Quan.
"Brother, this is..."
"Oh, this is Miss Zhili."
Xu Quan hesitated for a moment, without further explanation, and just gave a name.
"fragmented."
Xu Suisui looked Zhili up and down, then looked at Xu Quan, as if he realized something, but also did not ask any further questions.
No matter what, she has been sitting on the throne of the new empress for a year, and now she is certainly no longer the ignorant female college student.
In other words, except when facing Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui is now able to keep his emotions under control and knows what to say and what not to say.
"Okay, let's go quickly then."
Nodding slightly, Xu Suisui turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back at Xu Quan and said:
"Brother, get in the car too. I want to talk to you."
".good."
Xu Quan hesitated for a moment, then followed Xu Suisui into the carriage, leaving Zhili alone standing there.
Although Zhili was not mentioned, only Xu Quan was invited to get in the car, and Xu Suisui's meaning was undoubtedly very clear.
Zhili knew that this was because Xu Suisui did not trust him, so he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But after leaving Changliu Mountain, no one here would treat her as the demon king anymore.
"Gurgle"
The wheels turned, and under the escort of more than a hundred riders, the seemingly ordinary but actually very exquisite carriage started moving again and slowly passed in front of her.
Zhili bit her lip. Even though she was upset by being ignored like this, she had no choice but to get on her horse and chase after the convoy that was already far away.
"Brother, that dismembered girl should be your lover, right?"
Inside the carriage, Xu Suisui's face was more smiling than before.
She looked at Xu Quan, who looked a little embarrassed, and said jokingly, "Ah, why are you so nervous? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. It's time for you to find me a sister-in-law."
"Or do you think highly of Miss Zhili?"
“But I think she’s pretty.”
Xu Suisui's eyes curved into crescents and twinkled. At this moment, she finally looked a bit like a younger sister should look when facing her older brother.
Xu Quan was embarrassed by her teasing. He hesitated for a long time and just said:
"Don't talk nonsense, she is just a helper hired by the young master."
"Really? But why does she look at you with such affectionate eyes?"
Xu Suisui insisted: "Brother, just tell the truth. Where did you kidnap such a beautiful daughter-in-law from?"
"I"
Xu Quan's face turned red and he hesitated for a moment.
On the one hand, this hesitation was because he had not yet figured out what the relationship between him and Zhili was, and on the other hand, he was struggling over whether or not to tell Xu Suisui some things.
Normally speaking, he shouldn't tell Xu Suisui too much now. After all, he is not clear about Wei Changtian's attitude.
However, as mentioned before, Xu Suisui's position in Xu Quan's heart is far greater than Wei Changtian, so he shook his head after a moment and briefly recounted a series of things including the Fifth Demon Land, Zhili, and Guankong.
Of course, Xu Quan was not completely clear about many things, and he knew nothing about secrets such as the Qi Gathering Array.
But just what he said was enough to surprise Xu Suisui.
The fifth demon land, the mysterious holy fruit, the illusion array, and the observation of the void. Judging from Xu Suisui’s current expression, she is undoubtedly unaware of these.
Therefore, after a long silence, she asked softly, "Brother, why do you think the Master suddenly called me here this time?"
"I don't know about that."
Xu Quan shook his head: "But I think it must be related to these things. Think carefully about what the young master said when he sent you the letter."
"He didn't say anything, he just suddenly asked me to go to Linchuan immediately. I thought he was short of manpower, so I asked him if he needed to bring some people, but he said no."
Xu Suisui lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then added in a low voice: "But before that, Master Qin just disappeared."
"What? Senior Qin is missing?!"
Xu Quan's eyes suddenly widened, his expression extremely shocked.
But gradually, this surprise turned into confusion.
Qin Zhengqiu's disappearance is certainly of great importance, but sir, there is no need for me to come here in person.
Whether it's finding someone or making any arrangements, just send a letter and make it clear. What can Xu Suisui do to make up for it by coming to Daqian? Frowning, Xu Quan pondered for a long time before slowly giving his analysis.
"Perhaps the disappearance of Master Qin is related to the recent events in Linchuan."
"Especially the Buddhist named Guankong and the one beside him named Lin Zhi. Although I have never seen them, I can tell from the few words that the young master mentioned that there is something strange about these two people."
"Little sister, maybe some of them are like me."
Lin Zhi, there are people like me.
The name Lin Zhi and this half sentence were like a muffled thunder, exploding suddenly in Xu Suisui's ears without any warning.
Amid the noisy sound of horse hooves, she was stunned for a long time, and then she said with some difficulty and trembling voice: "Brother."
"I, I might have gotten into trouble again."
