Chapter 741

Leng Li said faintly, "we all know that we were ordered by master to go to the Western Chu to find the eldest martial brother and give the leader token kept by martial uncle to the elder martial brother. This is a big event and can't be delayed. We must not covet the hospitality of the city Lord's residence and forget master's instructions."

"Are you leaving soon? Can't you stay two more days?" Chen Hu is reluctant to give up. He has just been on the road for two days. He has a boundless future and doesn't know where he is. He doesn't know how long it will take to reach Xichu and find his senior brother.

Long Ning stared at him and joked, "why, erhu, do you still like here and want to stay here?"

Chen Hu quickly shook his head: "no, no, I'm just... Hey hey," he smiled foolishly: "even if I stay for two more days, it's nothing. Wait until I'm full, elder martial sister?"

Suddenly, there was a faint sound: "I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to go..."

Everyone was surprised and stared at Mu Xiaosu. Long Kai's face sank: "what do you mean, Xiaosu? Don't talk!"

Mu Xiaosu slowly ate the last grain of rice, put down his chopsticks and said softly, "I can hear it clearly. Someone is watching outside. Martial uncle, if you don't believe it, you can go and look out of the window."

Long Ning immediately got up and went to the window to look out from the gap. She couldn't help being surprised. When she turned her head, her face had become ugly: "sure enough... Dad, someone really stood behind the flowers and seemed to be watching us."

"Damn, I dare..." long Kai's face trembled.

However, after a little thought, Leng Li nodded: "it seems that the city master is a cautious person, for fear that we might divulge the news. Maybe the city master's house has other secrets besides taking care of the old lady."

Only Chen Hu didn't understand. He wondered, "what are you talking about? I don't understand. What kind of surveillance? Why are you spying on us? Elder martial sister, are you wrong? I'll go and have a look..."

He got up and walked towards the gate. Long Kai whispered, "come back and sit down!"

As soon as the voice fell, long Ning rushed out like the wind, grabbed Chen Hu's ear and dragged him back. The latter cried, but long Ning didn't care. After pulling him back to his original position, he let go: "just your impulse, don't look at the occasion!"

Although the meal hasn't finished yet, everyone has no mind. They have different thoughts and faces.

"Dad, what shall we do now?" Long Ning looked at long Kai and said, "I don't know why the sheriff wants to spy on us. Is it difficult not to let us go? We haven't done anything. Younger martial brother has cured old lady Guan. How can he do this?"

Long Kai was silent and did not open his mouth, but he was full of the momentum and was obviously angry.

He was always unrestrained and was never interfered and restricted. Even if his senior brother was the leader, he was polite to him. He would discuss all kinds of affairs with him at ordinary times. But now, it's unforgivable for a mere sheriff to dare to spy on them and bite the hand that feeds them!

Leng Li shook his head. His white face looked calm and did not seem to take it to heart: "maybe it's just a misunderstanding? Before we know the situation, we don't guess at will to avoid confusion."

"Do you still need to guess? It's obvious. If you don't believe it, try it!"

Long Ning immediately stared at Chen Hu and urged him, "Er Hu, give your second martial brother a try and go out for a walk. See if you've stopped you."

Unaware that he had become a test object, Chen Hu immediately stood up and strode towards the door: "OK! I'll try!"

Long Kai just wanted to stop, but he stopped talking. Even lengli looked at Chen Hu and wanted to know the result. Only mu Xiaosu picked up the spoon, filled himself with a bowl of soup, drank it slowly, and was gentle like a girl.

With a squeak, Chen Hu opened the door and strode out. Just as long Ning wanted to follow him, he heard Chen Hu's startled voice outside: "what are you... Doing?"

Then he answered respectfully, but Chen Hu panicked. Several people in the room didn't hear right. Chen Hu had been blocked back by several servants. Although he said politely, his eyes were obviously wrong. When they pulled Chen Hu back and closed the door again, they saw the dignified expressions of others.

"Just now I and I opened the door and went out. They didn't do anything. They just... They gathered around and said that they were not allowed to walk around without permission. Elder martial sister, you saw their eyes. They were so fierce that they almost had to do it..."

Chen Hu was wronged and puzzled. Long Kai said in a deep voice, "needless to say, we all saw it!"

He sat down angrily. He looked angry and slapped him on the table: "it's unreasonable!"

I've never been treated like this, and I've been avenged by people!

Long Ning also looked worried. He didn't know what to do. He turned and looked at lengli: "elder martial brother, what to do now? Can't we really go?"

"It should not." Leng Li shook his head. "Since the city Lord didn't intend to kill us, there would be no one. I guess it's because we're afraid of revealing something, so we're not allowed to walk around at will, so we'd better pretend not to notice. We don't show it until someone comes and see what's going on."

Seeing lengli calm, long Ning more or less settled for dessert. At this time, he thought of something: "Xiao Su, how do you know someone is guarding outside?"

A bowl of soup had been finished. Mu Xiaosu smiled: "I heard it?"

"Did you hear that? When did you hear so well?" Long Ning was surprised, but when she saw lengli, the latter shook his head at her and motioned her not to ask again. Long Ning seemed to think of something and finally restrained her curiosity.

After a moment of silence, long Kai said, "in that case, when someone comes, we'll leave it to lengli. It's OK for us to stay in the city master's residence for the time being, but first we must ensure our own safety and find out what's going on."

"Yes, martial uncle." Lengli nodded.

Although they were in a hurry to leave, they must first ensure safety. They were afraid that they might inadvertently detect any secrets hidden in the city Lord's house, so the city Lord asked people to monitor them. As for what the secret is, I'm afraid I have to study it carefully.

Sure enough, within a moment, Zhang Ping came.

He smiled and asked if they had eaten well and lived well. The others didn't speak. Lengli thanked the city Lord for his hospitality and said they had something to leave, so I won't bother much.

"How many people are going? Where are you going? Can you tell me? If you can help several people, it's naturally incumbent on you." Zhang Ping didn't mean to stop at all, only with a little concern and curiosity.

With a slight smile, lengli said, "we're going to do something in the capital of Western Chu. It's a long way, so we don't bother housekeeper Zhang. Thank housekeeper Zhang and the sheriff for their hospitality to us these days. We'll pack up and get ready to go later."

"To the capital of Western Chu? It's thousands of miles away!"

Zhang Ping looked surprised and didn't think of it: "what are you going to do? Is it important? Since you have cured the old lady, you are the benefactor of our sheriff. If you have anything to say, the sheriff will certainly help."

"No, it's just a little thing." Lengli declined.

"Hey, the benefactor's business is a big deal. Why should I be polite? If I know and don't help, the sheriff will be angry. Don't be polite. Our Sheriff has several acquaintances in the capital of Western Chu. It's not convenient for you to do anything?"

Seeing Zhang Ping's appearance of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, lengli smiled faintly and said, "thank you housekeeper Zhang for your kindness. It's really no big deal, otherwise we must ask the sheriff for help."

"Since it's no big deal, why don't you stay a few more days?" Zhang Ping said with a smile, "our adults are the best guests. They are the benefactors who saved the old lady. Naturally, they have to stay for a longer time, don't they?"

"You..."

Seeing that Chen Hu was about to make trouble, lengli slapped him down, nodded and smiled: "since the sheriff warmly asked us to stay, we'd better obey the order. Thank you, sheriff."

"That's right. You're delicious and delicious. I'll go to the sheriff and see if you have anything to add. I'll send it to you later." With that, Zhang Ping went out attentively.

When the door was closed again, lengli released his hand. Chen Hu straightened up and shouted, "elder martial brother, what are you doing with me!"

"You still say? If you make trouble just now, we are all finished!" Long Ning was angry at him: "we are now trapped in the city master's house. Are you comfortable and happy?"

Finally he knew something was wrong. Chen Hu grabbed his head and said wrongly, "it's none of my business..."

At this time, Mu Xiaosu, who had been shy and timid, raised her head again: "senior brother, senior sister, senior uncle, I think... We may have something else to happen tonight..."

"My God!"

Long Ning couldn't help covering his face: "Xiao Su, did you hear something again? Why are your ears so smart? I didn't hear anything. Don't scare us, okay?"

Mu xiaosutun blushed and whispered, "I didn't hear it, I felt it, and it's a bad hunch..."

His eyes widened, and long Ning stared at him incredulously: "no, you're not a woman. What's the hunch?"

When bathing little Sutton, he was surprised: "do only women have a hunch? Curious..."

After dinner, a maid took them back to shangshanju soon, but housekeeper Zhang didn't deliver what he promised. It seemed that she was just talking. They had guessed for a long time, and they didn't go back to their houses. They only stayed in long Kai's main house, with Bright Candles and waiting quietly.

When it gets dark, it's three o'clock.

Mu Xiaosu's premonition didn't come true. There was no light outside. Chen Hu dozed on the table. Long Ning was nervous and paced back and forth in the room. Leng Li looked at Mu Xiaosu, who was sitting quietly reading, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Ning'er, can you sit down and shake, I'm dizzy."

"It's all Xiao su. I've been worried because he frightened me so much."

Looking at the closed door, there was no sound outside. Long Ning complained, "Xiao Su, you're talking nonsense again. What's wrong..."

Suddenly, with a whoosh, the cold light flashed, and the candle on the table suddenly went out.
