In Yuxi Temple, Fu Youxing sat on a chair, watching the flowers blooming all over the garden. He put his left hand aside and tapped the stone table with his long knuckles.

"Third Master, Mr. Lou is back." Not far away, Youming walked through the moon cave door and saluted with his hands clasped in fists.

"Yes." Fu Youxing lowered his head and stood up, ready to greet the visitor.

The next second, seeing You Ming followed only by Lou Ran, a smile froze on his face.

"I'll see you, Mr. Fu." As You Ming walked up to Fu Youxing, Lou Ran bent down, his face looking very ugly.

"Lord Lou...?" Fu Youxing's voice was trembling as he looked behind Lou Ran again.

How could this happen after being deployed for so long?

"Master Fu, I'm... a step too late." Looking at Fu Youxing's expectant eyes, Lou Ran felt weak and raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

Master Fu explained his intention to him the next day.

Knowing that he was working for the Holy Sage, Lou Ran did not dare to take it lightly and immediately sent everyone out to search for information about Shen Yu.

Pingyang is no better than the capital, it is a small place, so it is still very easy to find someone.

At first, Lou Ran was very confident, thinking that he would be found within seven days.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yu seemed to have disappeared from the world. Half a month had passed, and there was no news at all.

After finally finding out that there was a beggar similar to him near Yuxi Temple, Lou Ran quickly brought someone over to check.

As a result, when we arrived at the ruined cave dwelling, it was completely empty and only a broken straw mat was left.

"Go and see if there is anything useful." After hearing Lou Ran's explanation, Fu Youxing took a deep breath and clenched his hands behind his back into fists.

"Yes." Not daring to say anything, Lou Ran led the people away.

"Youming, check here." He looked up at Youming and drank all the tea in the cup.

Shen Yu has lived here for so long, he doesn't believe that people in Yuxi Temple don't know.

"Yes."

After receiving the reply, Fu Youxing nodded and walked in Lou Ran's direction.

At the same time, in a remote courtyard in Pingyang County, Shen Xixi opened the door of the courtyard with a ragged Shen Yu.

"This was originally the residence of an officer. Later, the old officer passed away and his daughter married far away. The place became desolate, so Xi'er bought it." She placed the package in her hand on the table and helped Shen Yu sit down.

Shen Xixi walked to the well in the yard and drew some water, then filled the kettle, lit a fire and placed the kettle on the stove.

Seeing Shen Xixi's skillful movements, Shen Yu's eyes darkened a bit, "How does he treat you?"

Shen Yu's voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Second uncle has great magical powers. My niece should have guessed it even if she didn't tell her." When the kettle started to emit layers of white gas, Shen Xixi raised the handle, picked up the clean porcelain bowl on the side, and poured a bowl of water for Shen Yu.

She didn't want to lie to Shen Yu.

In her last life, her second uncle was one of the few people who gave her warmth.

"Chen Qing contacted me." Shen Yu whispered, looking at Shen Xixi's clear and bright eyes through the rising water vapor in the bowl.

Seven days ago, Shen Qing released the news to him.

He said that his eldest brother's descendants were in trouble and asked him to return to the capital to help.

"Third uncle said... If you want to help dad reverse the case, you need the treasure of the late emperor." Sitting on the stone next to Shen Yu, Shen Xixi told Shen Yu everything that Shen Qing had said to deceive her.

"After all these years, that loser is still so unimproved." After hearing what Shen Xixi said, a sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Yu's mouth, with deep mockery in his eyes.

Shen Qing is really an absolute beast for scheming against a little girl.

When the Shen family was in trouble, Shen Qing was the first to stand up and clear up the relationship, and provided Emperor Yun with evidence of his eldest brother's treason.

Even before he went out, he sold the young Shen Xixi to Ren Yazi.

After Shen Yu finished his work and returned, all that was left to him was the dilapidated Shen Mansion and the bones of Shen Kuo and his wife.

"Then second uncle, will you help Xi'er?" Facing the suddenly cold and vicious Shen Yu, Shen Xixi was not afraid and filled a bowl of water for her second uncle with her bare hands, her voice still gentle.

"How can I help?" Pulled back to his senses by Shen Xixi's words, Shen Yu raised his head and looked at her.

After such a long reunion, Shen Yu faced his niece whom he had not seen for many years for the first time.

After several years of not seeing each other, Shen Xixi lost her shyness and timidity, no longer trembled when facing him, and her voice was small.

Now, she has a gentle smile on her face, her expression is calm, and her demeanor is as usual.

"How have you... been these years?" Shen Yu asked after hesitating for a long time.

In the past, Shen Xixi was a rich girl in a boudoir who was inexperienced in the world. Now, her eyes have a calmness that has experienced vicissitudes of life.

He must have been tortured.

When he returned to the capital, he also searched for Shen Xixi's whereabouts for a while.

As a result, all the messages sent fell into the sea, and there was no reply.

After a long time, Shen Yu left with disappointment when he remembered the task assigned to him by his elder brother.

"That's it. Fu Youxing took Xi'er out of the brothel and then entered the Hou Mansion." Faced with Shen Yu's concern, Shen Xixi couldn't help but feel a sense of sourness in her heart.

He raised his eyes to look at the blue sky and tried his best to suppress the moisture in his eyes.

"As you said, how can I help you?" Seeing the sadness in Shen Xixi's eyes, Shen Yu stopped asking any more questions and slowly looked away.

"Xi'er wants two things from my second uncle."

"what's up?"

"First, Xi'er hopes that one day, when the second uncle sees the person holding the Black Iron Order, he can hand over the Black Iron Army's unified tiger talisman!"

"second?"

"Second, Xi'er hopes that my second uncle will send my niece a black iron army."

"What do you want to do?" Hearing that Shen Xixi wanted a black iron army, Shen Yu's eyes showed doubts.

Shen Yu found that he couldn't understand his little niece more and more.

"The Holy One is cruel and unkind. He will do whatever it takes to force dad to hand over the late emperor's treasure. Daddy protects it with his life, so Xi'er must protect it well."

Regarding Shen Yu's question, Shen Xixi sneered, opened and closed her lips, and revealed her plan.

On the way with Fu Youxing, she saw countless refugees. In order to survive, they traveled thousands of miles away from their homes and headed for the capital.

For the sake of a bite to eat, they abandoned their dignity and turned into demons.

Wasn't the treasure left behind by the late emperor meant to save Dayu's people from water and fire?

"it is good."

Looking at the firm eyes of the girl in front of him, Shen Yu's eyes showed a happy smile.

I lament that my niece has grown up and no longer only cares about personal gains and losses.

"Who is the person you are talking about holding the token? Who did you give it to?" Suddenly, thinking of the Black Iron Order, Shen Yu's eyes darkened.

The late emperor handed the Black Iron Order and the treasure to his eldest brother at the same time. Shen Yu did not know where the treasure map was.

But the Black Iron Order has always been in the hands of the eldest brother.

Who did this girl give the Black Iron Order to?

"Second uncle, don't worry, Xi'er will not do anything against his father's last wishes, nor will he do anything to disgrace Dayu!"
