Chapter 611: The Hound's First Display of Skills
On May 29th, the Yan family had dinner together in the old lady's yard.
During this time, Madam Sun said, "I heard that Madam Guo wanted to celebrate the young prince's birthday this year, but the first day of June is almost here, so why hasn't the invitation been sent out yet? Is it possible that Madam Guo doesn't plan to invite outsiders, and just wants the family and the young prince to have a meal together and be done with it?"
Yan Wenkai immediately replied, "Second Aunt, don't wait for the invitation from the Guo family. When Madam Guo proposed to help Ye Yang hold a birthday party, he directly refused."
Sun was puzzled. "Why is this? Governor Guo had already held a birthday banquet for the young prince before Madam Guo came. Now that the hostess is here, why is he canceling it?"
Madam Li said calmly, "Why else? To avoid suspicion. If Madam Guo hadn't brought Miss Guo this time, it wouldn't be a big deal for an aunt to celebrate her nephew's birthday. But with Miss Guo here, if someone with ulterior motives saw it, it would be hard to explain."
Yan Wenkai nodded and said, "That's right. When the Jiang family came to Zhongzhou, Ye Yang went to help for a few days, and then some people with ulterior motives spread rumors about them being childhood sweethearts. Even now, whenever this is mentioned, Ye Yang gets extremely angry and says that the Jiang family has tarnished his reputation."
Madam Li burst out laughing: "I didn't realize the young prince was such a person who valued his reputation so much."
Yan Wenkai: "There are some things Ye Yang doesn't care about, but he really doesn't like hanging out with girls. He says that if he gets involved with other girls, he'll be in trouble."
Hearing this, Old Lady Yan became interested: "Why is there no good fruit to eat?"
Yan Wenkai shrugged: "He didn't say that."
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua who was chewing on pork ribs. He thought that this was the culprit who had brought trouble to Yeyang.
When Daohua saw Yan Wentao looking at her, she smiled and picked up a chicken leg for him.
Looking at the chicken legs in the bowl, Yan Wentao withdrew his gaze and let Daohua go.
Madam Li: "Since Madam Guo isn't hosting a banquet, then we should just do whatever we want on the first day of June."
Sun smiled and said, "Come to think of it, Madam Guo has been at Ningmen Mansion for almost two months now, and why hasn't the young prince come to pay a visit?"
Yan Wenkai replied, "I see that Yeyang doesn't like Madam Guo very much. One time, I saw Madam Guo send someone to tell Yeyang to come to the mansion, but he turned it down on the grounds that he was busy."
Madam Li looked surprised. "There's such a thing. The young prince and Governor Guo have a very good relationship."
Yan Wenkai laughed and said, "Just because you have a good relationship with your uncle doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a good relationship with your aunt."
Daohua listened to everyone's conversation silently and ate her meal in a good mood.
Xiao Yeyang knows how to avoid suspicion with Miss Guo, which is good!
It seems that the pig's head on his birthday cake can be made bigger this year.
On the first day of June, Daohua got on the carriage to Taohua Village early in the morning, carrying the birthday cake she had made last night.
The carriage left the city gate and headed straight for the dock.
However, when the carriage was halfway there, the hunting dog Xiaoqi suddenly jumped off the carriage and ran quickly towards the woods beside the official road.
When Bishi saw this, he hurriedly said something to Daohua and went to chase the dog Xiaoqi.
Daohua signaled the carriage to stop and sat in the carriage waiting for Bishi.
A quarter of an hour later, Bishi and Gou Xiaoqi came back.
"Girl, look!"
Bishi handed a bundle wrapped in cloth to Daohua: "This is what Xiaoqi dug out from a pile of earth."
Daohua took the bundle and motioned Bishi to get on the carriage. She opened the bundle only after the carriage started.
Inside the bundle was a crumpled piece of paper and a piece of sheepskin.
The handwriting on the paper ball was sloppy and weak. It was obvious that it was written in a hurry, and the person who wrote it must have been seriously injured.
Daohua took a look and then shifted her gaze to the parchment scroll.
There was no way. The parchment was covered with drawings of little people, some sitting, some standing, and some stretching their limbs. Daohua, who had watched countless TVs, recognized at a glance that this was a martial arts secret book.
Daohua suddenly looked at Bishi: "After Xiaoqi dug this out, did you clean up the scene?" It was both a martial arts secret book and a suicide note. Daohua had to take this matter seriously, for fear of getting into some unnecessary trouble.
Bishi nodded and said, "I restored the pit. No one will notice anything unusual."
When the seven hunting dogs were training, Bishi also learned a few things. He knew that when encountering something like this, he had to erase all traces at the scene.
Daohua felt relieved, but then she became puzzled again: "How did Xiaoqi know that something was buried in the woods?"
It wasn't long before we arrived at the pier.
Daohua took Wang Man'er and others and seven hunting dogs onto the boat. When he was giving the order to set sail, he suddenly heard screams from people on the shore.
"Oh my god, there's a flying guy out there."
"Not one, but two."
When Daohua walked out of the cabin, she saw two people fighting not far away.
A man in flowing white clothes, a monk.
Both of them are very good at martial arts, and their fighting is carried out in mid-air.
However, the monk was obviously no match for the man in white. When the two men fought to the river bank, the monk was kicked into the river by the man in white.
Then, the man in white tapped the surface of the river a few times and flew to the other side of the river.
Seeing this scene, Daohua's eyes widened.
You know, the width of the river on the dock side is at least a hundred meters.
Daohua swallowed her saliva and said, "Is this the inner martial arts master that Fourth Brother mentioned?"
Suddenly, Daohua's eyes flashed.
Monk?
Could it be the one who injured Xiao Yeyang and the third and fourth brothers?
Rice flowers quickly looked towards the river where the monk fell. At this moment, apart from a few ripples on the river surface, there was no other movement.
"Dead?"
Bishi nodded and said, "He's definitely dead. I just saw a cold needle fly out from the folding fan in the white-robed man's hand and penetrate directly into the monk's chest."
Daohua looked surprised: "You saw all this?"
Bishi smiled sheepishly: "My grandfather said that to practice juggling, you need sharp eyes and quick hands. I have very good eyesight."
Daohua patted her shoulder and said, "Good job."
Since the monk is dead, there is nothing to worry about.
At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers came running over quickly.
The officers and soldiers asked the people on the dock and learned that the monk had fallen into the river and the man in white had run away, so they could only return in shame.
After the officers and soldiers left, Daohua once again shifted his gaze to the other side of the river, and he began to understand why his fourth brother was so depressed when he mentioned the monk before.
They are good at martial arts and can walk on water. Even if they are outnumbered, they still can't catch up.
"Eight Meridian Dan Jingsui Grass."
Although he had treated the Daohua pill as dispensable before, he really took it to heart after seeing others demonstrate their lightness skills with his own eyes this time.
