Chapter 38 Something happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"It's my second cousin who has come. Mom and Dad, I'll go see him."

With her parents' consent, Qiao Niannian ran out directly.

Qiao Chushan and Mrs. Huo were not surprised at all.

This child has liked to come here since he was a child. He likes his sister Qiao Niannian the most and comes to visit him every few days.

The last time Qiao Niannian fell into the water and fainted, Huai Jin came to visit her for two consecutive days. Later, he was assigned a task by his father and was away for a few days. Mrs.

Huo didn't even know when this nephew came back.

Qiao Niannian walked out of the yard and saw the maid bringing her second cousin over.

The second cousin is seventeen years old this year. He is a vanguard in battle, brave and good at fighting. The whole person is like a sword that hides its light and cultivates its spirit. At the critical moment, he can give the enemy a fatal blow.

He was dressed in a fancy suit and walked with a breeze, but his skin was a little dark.

"Second cousin."

Huo Yu, whose courtesy name was Huai Jin, was called by his courtesy name by those close to him.

Huo Yu had just returned home today when he received a message from his cousin and immediately rushed over.

The last time the little girl fell into the water and was unconscious for two days, he was really worried.

However, bandits were rampant in Yinzhou, and the emperor personally sent him to deal with the matter. Huo Yu could only lead people to suppress the bandits, and only returned to the capital last night to report.

He looked at his younger sister who had recovered her spirit, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Cousin, look what gift your cousin brought you!"

As he said that, he took out a box and handed it to Qiao Niannian.

Qiao Niannian raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect there was a gift.

She opened the box, and inside was - a wooden sword?

"Cousin, you must have been frightened when you fell into the water this time. This is the peach wood sword I found for you to protect you."

After saying that, he bared his teeth: "Don't be too moved."

Qiao Niannian's mouth twitched .

The snake demon quietly poked his head out to take a look, and then looked disgusted.

Who said that a sword made of peach trees is a peach wood sword?

Other peach wood swords are magic tools and need to be blessed with spells.

It's nothing. Qiao Niannian accepted the gift and then asked. "Second brother, do you have any vacation recently?" Huo Yu completed his mission well this time, and the emperor specially gave him a few days off. "Can you go to the border and give something to my eldest brother." Huo Yu:... "Be good, don't make trouble." "Your brother and I have three days off, not three months." Qiao Niannian:... That's a problem. Qiao Niannian wanted to tell Huo Yu that big brother would be in danger, but the first thing she said was: "Beep beep beep..." [Very good, destroy it! ] Huo Yu: ??? Where did the sound come from? Before Huo Yu could figure it out, a quarrel came from afar. It was Qiao Chushan and Qiao Chufeng. Qiao Chufeng came to the Marquis' Mansion this time to ask Qiao Chushan for help, but Qiao Chushan knew that Qiao Chufeng was not a good person, so he made some excuses. Qiao Chufeng was unhappy. "Brother, this matter is related to Chuanbai and 500,000 soldiers on the border. How can you not help!" Qiao Chushan looked embarrassed: "Second brother, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the treasury is empty and there is not so much food and grass." Huo Yu raised his eyebrows. Father received a letter from aunt today, and hurried into the palace, and then secretly left the capital. But he knew about this, as father left by transporting grain by water. Could it be that uncle didn't know about this? Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind her, he was pinched by Qiao Niannian. Qiao Niannian reminded him. "Beep beep beep beep..." ... [What the hell, he is speechless every time at a critical moment. ] [I didn't say that second uncle would sell grain to barbarians. I just wanted to remind second brother that second uncle is not a good person. Is this not okay? ] Thinking about it carefully, second uncle is bent on harming her father and sitting on the position of marquis. For her, he is indeed not a good person. Qiao Niannian couldn't remind her second cousin, and was afraid that he would say something bad, so she was very anxious. Huo Yu was completely stunned. The voice just now was said by the cousin, but she didn't open her mouth. Could it be her inner voice? Also, would the second uncle of the Qiao family sell food to the barbarians? Thinking of this. Huo Yu swallowed the words he wanted to remind. Qiao Chufeng talked for a long time, but he didn't persuade Qiao Chushan, and finally left with a red face. Forget it. It seems that I can only wait until the day after tomorrow. In the evening, Huo Yu stayed in the Marquis' Mansion to eat before leaving. Before leaving, Qiao Niannian suddenly spoke. "Second cousin, when you go home at night, if someone calls you, don't look back, especially if it's a woman." Huo Yu frowned. Then a folded talisman paper was stuffed into his hand. "Second cousin, I give it to you to keep you safe. If you believe me, come to me tomorrow." Huo Yu didn't understand what Qiao Niannian meant, but Huo Yu still carefully put away the amulet that his cousin had specially asked for him. This was a token of his cousin's kindness, and he couldn't let her down. Qiao Chushan was sharp-eyed. Seeing his daughter's actions, he immediately pulled his nephew aside. "Huai Jin, hold on to the things that Niannian gave you. Don't let go, understand?"

Huo Yu patted his chest: "Don't worry, uncle! I will definitely carry it with me."

Then he left the Marquis' Mansion.

Although the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion are both in the capital, they are located in the south and the north.

Huo Yu has walked this road countless times.

It usually takes him two quarters of an hour to get home, but today it has taken him three quarters of an hour and it seems that he has only walked halfway.

Huo Yu stopped.

He felt something was wrong.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Huo Yu, Huo Lang..."

Huo Yu frowned and was about to turn around, but his cousin's words suddenly appeared in his mind, someone told him not to look back.

Huo Yu never believed in ghosts and evil spirits, but today, he felt goosebumps for no reason.

He stood where he was and did not turn around.

The voice behind him rang again.

"Huo Lang, look back at me! Why don't you look back!"

As Huo Yu said this, he saw a black gas surge from behind him, submerging his legs.

And behind him, a hand was on Huo Yu's shoulder, breathing into his ear.

Huo Yu was numb.

Even though he was a martial artist, he didn't know how to resist at this moment.

He tensed his body and shouted.

"Monster, get out of here quickly, or I'll make you pay."

"Huo Lang, I'm really good-looking, there's no need to be more beautiful, I just like your heart, can you give it to me!"

Huo Yu clearly felt a pair of hands on his shoulders, he lowered his eyes, but could not see anything.

The next moment, the evil creature saw that Huo Yu did not answer, and laughed to himself.

"If Huo Lang doesn't answer, then I'll take it myself."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Huo Yu's chest.

The next moment, a golden light shot out from Huo Yu's chest, and the evil creature wailed and disappeared.

Huo Yu also saw the golden light. He blocked his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he found himself in a familiar place.

He quickly took out the talisman from his chest.

The cinnabar on it was obviously much lighter. It

was really his cousin's talisman that saved him.

Did his cousin know that he would encounter evil creatures?

And his uncle's reminder.

Could it be that... his uncle also knew that his cousin was very powerful?

Huo Yu was full of doubts. If it wasn't too late, he would have to run back and have a good chat with his cousin.

Marquis' Mansion.

Qiao Niannian counted with her fingers and felt relieved to know that her cousin was safe.

But before she put down her fingers, she sensed that the amulet on the prince was attacked.
