The sword god brushed the Taoist robe

If it is really deserted, it is not necessarily the case. At least the Marquis of Shunning left someone to take care of it, but because of the lack of a master to sit in the town, it lacks popularity after all.

Sikong Zhaixing originally thought he would leave after just exploring, but was stopped by Ximen Chuuxue.

"Is there anything else here?" It was night, and snowflakes like goose feathers were slowly falling from the sky. It was so cold outside that Sikong Zhaixing almost couldn't hold back the itching of his nose. Just when he was about to reveal the whereabouts of the two, Ximen Chuuxue A sudden slap made him almost fall from the tree, so the sneeze was also frightened back.

"I'm not hiccupping!" Sikong Zhaixing managed to stabilize his body, and said angrily, "If I fall, I will definitely be exposed."

Ximen Chuuxue gave him a sideways glance: "It's just that you were exposed." With this person's skill, he didn't want to be caught, so how could he be caught? Can escape.

Sikong Zhaixing who didn't know what Ximen Chuuxue was thinking: "..." This person is so sympathetic, he shouldn't have come with him.

"Luck." Ximen Chuixue said to Sikong Zhaixing who was shivering from the cold.

Sikong Zhaixing managed to raise his spirits a bit, and he finally got better.

"There's no one here, you don't think there's anything to check here, do you?" Sikong Zhaixing still doesn't quite understand what they want to do by nestling in the dark and in the middle of the night on the big snow-covered tree Well.

If it is surveillance, the thick white snow has already blocked most of the line of sight. This is definitely not the best observation point, but if it is concealment, of course there is - the coats they are wearing now are white. The material of the shirt is a bit special, it looks very thin at first glance, but when you look closely, it has two layers. The outer layer is black fabric, which is convenient for them to hide in the night when they are worn, and it is white when they wear it. The tree, just turn the clothes upside down and hide behind the snow on the tree.

Ximen Chuuxue explained slowly: "This has been the Marquis of Shunning's mansion since the old Marquis of Shunning was entrusted. Even if no one lives in the old house, it always has more things than the new one."

Sikong Zhaixing's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of that."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't even bother to give him a look of contempt at the moment.

Sikong Zhaixing felt the malice all over his body, he didn't want to pay attention to this person at first, but couldn't help but said: "Even if this is an old house, where do we start?"

"Of course we have to start with the layout here." Ximen Chuuxue glanced at him and added, "You go."

Sikong Zhaixing was startled, "Aren't we together?"

"The soldiers are divided into two groups."

"Where are you going then?"

Ximen Chuuxue gave him a deep look, but did not answer.

Once again, Sikong Zhaixing didn't understand Ximen Chuuxue's intentions, this person is just a dull gourd, he doesn't talk much, sometimes he doesn't speak, I really don't understand how the little Taoist endured him for more than half a year.

Having figured this out, Sikong Zhaixing finally felt admiration towards Qiu Wandai like a surging river.

Afterwards, no matter whether he used facial expressions or actual actions, express or implied, he only got one sentence: "We will meet here in two hours."

Sikong Zhaixing nodded, "Then I'll go."

Ximen Chuuxue waved his hand and let him go first.

After Sikong Zhaixing changed the black side, he looked back at Ximen Chuuxue who was also sitting safely on the tree with some perplexity, thinking that this person would not be trying to trick him out, should he just sit here and rest?

Forget it, anyway, Ximen Chuuxue's commanding style is really not acceptable to him. He'd better complete the mission and see if there are any clues.

After Sikong Zaixing left, Ximen Chuixue circled around the Shunning Hou Mansion by himself.

After the struggle in the past few days, Ximen Chuuxue felt that Xia Ningru's favorite was the underground passage. The underground waterway was originally funded by the imperial court. How could there be no such thing as the capital, so mastering the passages extending in all directions has become the most beneficial resource.

If his guess is correct, there is a high possibility that this place also has a tunnel leading to the real Marquis of Shunning Mansion.

But it's likely more than that.

This used to be the Marquis of Shunning Mansion. Although he had no way of determining when this place was abandoned, if after Qiu Wandai left, then what happened that year is likely to be the turning point for this place to be abandoned.

This place has become an "empty house", Ximen Chuuxue thought of a possibility, probably the so-called Xia Ningru has been very low-key for so many years, which is based on the quietness of this house.

There were indeed people staying behind here, but the owner had already slipped away. People outside didn't know this, so they kept saying that Xia Ningru had been heartbroken for a long time, and her ears didn't hear anything outside the window.

When he came, he asked someone to inquire, and learned that this was the place where Qiu Wandai was born.It's just that even the old neighbors couldn't know what the inside of Shunninghou's mansion looked like, so they just told Ximen Chuuxue what happened back then as if it were a story.

It is said that 12 years ago, the west chamber of the Hou Mansion was flooded with fire, and he just touched the west chamber while exploring the way with Sikong Zaixing, but found that it had been repaired long ago, and there was no trace of burning. burnt marks.

This is a bit difficult. If the accident happened in the West Wing, it would be difficult to find out the cause of the fire. All the evidence must have been buried in the ashes that have been cleared away.

The snow on the ground is not so thick, it only reaches the thickness of the instep. Ximen Chuuxue's feet landed on the snow without any trace of snow. His boots were only stained with a little snow dust, and when he walked, they were sporadically scattered on the snow. on the ground.

He originally planned to find out if there was a sign of the underground waterway outside the Hou Mansion, but he found that even if there was such a sign at this stage, the snow had already covered it, and it was even more difficult for him to find it.

This task seems to be more difficult than imagined.

Ximen Chuuxue searched for a long time, but still couldn't find the mark he saw on the map before.

Could it be that that person already knew that they were also interested in the underground passage, so he specially asked someone to clean it up?

In this way, what else do they have to do.

Of course, Ximen Chuuxue couldn't believe that that person was really so godly, he couldn't just let it go, Qiu Wandai was still in the hands of the other party, if he couldn't find out the purpose of the other party, then the other party would definitely become more confident.

At this stage, Ximen Chuuxue didn't have many resources and no direct evidence, so he couldn't do anything.

Even if he wants to negotiate with others, he has to produce strong evidence.

☆☆☆

While Ximen Chuuxue was trying to find evidence, Qiu Wandai kept following Xia Ningru's ass doing things he didn't want to do.

He has no interest in the other party's business at all, but he is forced to indoctrinate him every day like being brainwashed by the other party. Occasionally, Xia Ningru will take a test, which always makes him jump.

Xia Qin is younger than him, but he has learned much better than him. Sometimes he thinks, since Xia Qin looks like an heir, why did Xia Ningru bother to train him.

But sometimes, getting used to it is a terrible thing. After getting used to Xia Ningru's subtle influence, Qiu Wandai found that he had already cleared up a few nerves about these business matters, and he was not as incomprehensible as before.

Could it be that he has been assimilated?

Qiu Wandai had a sour face that day, and wanted to stay on the bed and not move.

Xia Qin shook him: "Brother, don't stay in bed."

"Brother didn't stay in bed," he said righteously, "Brother is actually practicing!"

Xia Qin curled his lips, "It's not good to lie, whoever lost his teeth."

Qiu Wandai: "..."

"Brother is really practicing." Qiu Wandai sat up, "This is Wudang's internal method, calm down, don't disturb me, go talk to your father."

Xia Qin's eyes widened, and he didn't want to go away, "Brother, daddy also taught me martial arts, I have to smash horses every day."

He knew this, "I used to have it too. I started it when I was very young. After I learned it well, my master taught me other martial arts."

Xia Qin didn't have any internal energy in his body. Qiu Wandai asked him, and only knew that he knew some boxing skills, "Do you want to learn?"

Xia Qin shook his head and nodded again.

These days, I really can't nod and shake my head. I can think about it when I think about it, and I don't think about it if I don't want to. Don't make it so complicated, he can't bear it.

"I will learn well in the future. My father said that I should take it step by step and let me have a solid foundation."

Qiu Wandai looked ashamed, always feeling that he was going to spoil the seedlings just now.

In fact, Xia Qin's body bones are not bad, although he is small, he is still very solid, but he is not like him, his master can tell at a glance that his bones are exquisite, and children's kung fu will not be able to be top-notch in the future, but self-preservation It is also no problem.

"Then listen to your father."

Xia Qin disapproved: "That's your father too."

Qiu Wandai felt that he was about to be brainwashed, "Okay, you think so."

Xia Qin murmured, "That's what it is!"

Xia Ningru walked in suddenly, and Qiu Wandai subconsciously wanted to say why he was not good at it, but obviously even if he said it, he probably didn't bother to pay attention to it, and it was right to say something nonsense.

"Daddy!" Xia Qin rushed towards Xia Ningru, "Why are you here?"

"Shall we go out?" Xia Ningru held Xia Qin in his arms and led him to the closet. He chose a set of clothes for him, and another set for Qiu Wan to wear. "Come find me after changing."

Xia Qin nodded obediently, "I will go out with my brother, daddy, where are we going?"

Xia Ningru smiled and nodded his nose: "You will know when you go."

They were all used to being taken out by Xia Ningru these days, so they didn't think about it for a while, Qiu Wandai changed Xia Qin's clothes before leading them out.

He felt more and more like his brother's nanny.

Just when Qiu Wandai thought they were going to go out, Xia Ningru led them into the study, and then touched a mechanism in front of Qiu Wandai.

Qiu Wandai looked at Xia Ningru's movements in shock, and a trace of cold sweat broke out in his palms.

This person, isn't he going to take him to see something about the Gate of Bliss?

Groove, I'm really cruel...
