As soon as Xiahou Qing finished speaking, Xiahou Jun added nervously, "This is what I was just about to report to the Pavilion Master."
Xia Houqing reminded him impatiently, "Next time if you have something to say, tell it all at once. I don't have that much time to deal with you."
Xiahou Jun hurriedly said, "Yes, I admit my mistake. Miss Lin quietly packed her bags and left the city. Judging from the direction she was walking, she must be heading to Qingliang Valley."
Xiahou Qing sneered and said, "Qingliang Valley? Are you planning to ask Lian Xin for help? Let her go. If she gets killed, she'll never find Lin Feng again. Qingliang Valley will soon be in the hands of Tianshu Tower. We have to meet her eventually, so there's no need to cause any more trouble for our young lady."
"Understood. I will give the order immediately."
While playing chess with himself, Xiahou Qing suddenly asked, as if something had occurred to him: "By the way, does she know where Shi Zairong is?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiahou Jun replied, "She probably doesn't know. Since Lin Zhenzhen arrived in Liang State, Lin Feng has only allowed her to stay in Qinghe County. At most, she has only been to the Ming River on the outskirts of the city."
Xiahou Qing chuckled and reminded, "Zhiyoulin is a nice place. If she's interested, she can go and have a look."
Xiahou Jun looked up at Xiahou Qing's sinister expression and immediately understood: "I understand. I will make sure this matter is properly arranged and give Miss Lin an unforgettable trip."
The common people were unaware of the many things quietly happening in Qinghe County. They only knew that although the county was under martial law and they could not enter and exit freely as before, at least they would not encounter the ghosts and monsters that were said to have besieged the capital. Moreover, as time went by, they had become accustomed to the current situation.
Even if Chun Zaitang is gone, even if many old faces have quietly disappeared, but as long as they can still brag and chat with neighbors, and are still alive to have a meal with their families; there is no need to worry about other things.
As changes occurred in Qinghe County, the South Vietnamese camp was also plunged into an unprecedented atmosphere of tension. Lower-ranking soldiers only knew how to obey their superiors' orders. They were unaware of many important events, and there was no need for them to do so.
Su Zhirou had been half dead for the past few days. If it weren't for Huangfu Bin's arrival, she wouldn't have been able to survive for so many days. After Huangfu Bin prepared everything Huangfu Xiong needed, he became quite irritable. Taking advantage of his father's inattention, he picked up a porcelain pillow and knocked him unconscious on the spot. When everyone found Huangfu Bin, Huangfu Xiong's door had been locked from the inside, with a "Do Not Disturb" note on it.
After Shi Zairong learned about this, he hurried over. Seeing Huangfu Bin sitting on a small stool with his head wrapped, staring intently at the movements in the room, his footsteps couldn't help but become much lighter. Not long after Shi Zairong arrived, Su Zhirou's wailing almost blew the roof off the room.
Listening to the people in the house screaming crazily and smashing things, and then the screams gradually becoming hoarse, everyone in front of the door felt their hearts in their throats.
Tanhua sat on the roof, his little feet swinging restlessly in the air. He rested his chin on his hand and looked towards the northwest courtyard. "Look at how anxious they are. It makes me want to go down and take a look."
Prajna sat down beside her and responded, "Isn't it? If this succeeds, Huangfu Xiong will have made up for his mistake."
Jia Luo, however, had a different tone: "I don't think it's that easy. It's been several days, and he and that woman haven't eaten, drunk, or slept. Even a normal person would be sick."
"Okay, let's talk about something good. If everything is fine here, Jiang Ling can rest for a while longer," Prajna said. He had finally managed to coax Tanhua into submission, and he didn't want this man to ruin her mood with just a few words. Then Jialuo would have to experience for herself how terrifying it was when a centenarian got angry and acted like a child.
When Tanhua heard Prajna mention Jiang Ling, the poor child, he quickly scolded her, "Right, right, right, Jialuo, shut up!"
Jia Luo smacked his lips helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, okay. We are all old people, we should take things more lightly."
"......" Prajna looked aside. If the eyes could really speak like the mouth, Gala would have been drowned by his saliva by now.
"I'll shut up and go aside so as not to disturb you from watching the fun," Jialuo said. If he had known that he couldn't say such words boldly today, he would definitely not have followed out.
Xie Zhuangshui waited outside with the group for Huangfu Xiong to come out. However, after a while, he couldn't sit still anymore. Sometimes, after sitting down, his legs would start shaking uncontrollably. When he stood up, he wanted to pace around. It was extremely uncomfortable to neither stand nor sit.
Seeing that no one was saying a word, Xie Zhuangshui finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "It's been two days and two nights. It's time to tell everyone what's going on! There were some noises before, but now I can't hear anything. Isn't this torture?"
Shi Zairong stared at the door with red eyes and said, "No hurry, no hurry. The more anxious you are about this kind of thing, the worse it is."
Huangfu Bin, whose eyes were already red from staying up late, said confidently, "Yes, just wait patiently. I believe in my son."
Xie Zhuangshui looked up at the sky, then down at the ground, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Grand Tutor and Mr. Huangfu are really patient."
"There's movement!"
Xiao Liang's words suddenly made the atmosphere in front of the courtyard extremely tense. Huangfu Bin hurriedly stood up from the stool, forgetting that he had already been there for two days and two nights. If Xie Zhuangshui hadn't quickly supported him, he would have been heartbroken before his son came out.
Before Huangfu Bin could even thank Xie Zhuangshui, the door swung open without warning. Huangfu Xiong, looking haggard and unrecognizable, walked out, leaning against the doorframe. Shi Zairong rushed over, "Huangfu Xiong, how's it going? Did you succeed?"
"..." Huangfu Xiong raised his head and looked at him, then fell unconscious in Shi Zairong's arms. Huangfu Bin, seeing this, breathed hard and fell on Xie Zhuangshui.
After hearing the commotion behind him, Shi Zairong hurriedly ordered, "Quick, call the doctors, call all the doctors!"
