You Yun suddenly became extremely lively, the streets and alleys were all foreign guests, and the inns of all sizes on You Yun Street were full of people.

Gu Zhuangcheng was sitting in the hall on the first floor drinking tea and eating snacks, hearing the noise, people were talking about the reason why You Yun suddenly became lively.

As usual, it's not like You Yun hasn't had a lot of fun.During the heyday of the previous dynasty, all nations came to congratulate, what a grandeur it was!

But since the three horses and eight kings are making such a fuss, even if Youyun is still prosperous, it is no longer what it used to be.

But now, with so many people suddenly appearing in the city, many people have speculated whether something big is going to happen again?Otherwise, how could this group of outsiders gather in Youyun suddenly for no reason?

"These little people are quite vigilant." Gu Zhuangcheng clicked his tongue, "Hey, is there any movement in Pingyou Palace?"

"Not yet. According to reports from spies, King Pingyou doesn't often go out on weekdays. Other nobles have special hobbies, such as listening to a little song or watching a play, but King Pingyou is. Can’t tell! Playing with flowers and birds all day long, and sleeping when it’s dark.” The host of the Youyun Fen Building said helplessly, “Such a person, let alone King Pingyou, would be believed even if he was an old man in his [-]s or [-]s. !"

Gu Zhuangcheng chewed a peanut slowly, and said: "Keep watching, don't relax your vigilance. King Pingyou is not an idler, You Yun has so many outsiders popping up for no reason, he can really pretend to be deaf and dumb." do not know anything?"

"Your subordinate understands." The host of the sub-floor building nodded, seeing that he had no other orders, he called the waiter to pay for the tea, put on his hood again and left.

Gu Zhuangcheng sat downstairs for a while, felt that he couldn't hear anything, so he went upstairs.Passing by the room full of smoke, he paused, walked over and knocked on the door.

After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and then the door was opened, and Shen Yan showed a face, looking at him suspiciously.

Gu Zhuangcheng was dumb for a moment, and held back for a long time before saying: "I...I have something I want to discuss with you, can I go in?"

Shen Yan nodded, let the person in, walked to the table and sat down, and asked: "What's the matter?"

Originally this was just an excuse for Gu Zhuangcheng, but after entering the room, Gu Zhuangcheng really thought of something: "It's about King Pingyou. Just now I came to the sub-floor in Youyun and said that the spies followed Pingyou. You Wang has been here for four or five days, and he hardly goes out all day, so there is really no reason why he came here. I am worried, and no one has been withdrawn."

Shen Yan nodded in agreement, and said: "King Pingyou is an old fox. When the new dynasty was established, there were seven kings with different surnames. How about now? He is the only one who has not been demolished. Besides. , the treasure is buried in the back mountain cave of Prince Pingyou's Mansion, and he said he didn't know about it? Do you believe this?"

Gu Zhuangcheng smiled and said: "It's a pity that we don't know what this old fox wants to do now. Let's say he has the intention of treason...

I think it's very unlikely, his son doesn't have much ability, even if he thought about it himself, he might not be able to keep it.

But... If he didn't know about this treasure, didn't she send someone to blow up the mountain to take a look when the mansion was built? "

Shen Yan shook her head.After all, he still has little experience. King Pingyou is already over 50 years old, and he is older than the two of them combined in terms of age, not to mention this person's experience.

"Now, we can only hope that the imperial court will send people here quickly so that we can lead them to find the treasure." Gu Zhuangcheng said, "By the way, pour two spoonfuls of oil on the fire so that the fire will burn until Go to the Zhao family!"

Shen Yan's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help laughing.After laughing for a while, he remembered something, and said: "The person I sent to watch over Zhao's uncle and nephew has also returned. She said that the day Zhao Xiaodao returned, the head of Zhao made a big fuss, and finally beat Zhao Xiaodao. Don, lock him in the room and haven't let him out until today! It seems that this head Zhao is not a sensible person, and he can't even see such a simple estrangement."

"I'm still not sure if this is a play that the Zhao family uncle and nephew played for us. Don't forget how you and I were tricked by Zhao Xiaodao back then."

Gu Zhuangcheng pursed his lips, "Let your people keep watching, Master He Shan sent a letter this morning, saying that he has joined the people from the imperial court, and is now in Pingying Town, north of Youyun, until tonight... …Tomorrow morning at the latest, we will be able to reach Youyun!

At that time, no matter whether it is King Pingyou or Head Zhao, they will tear their skins apart.Let's just go to the theater and watch it. "

Shen Yan frowned, smiled without saying a word.

watching a play?How can it be enough just to watch the play?The owner of the Yunzhuang Pavilion always takes revenge, but Zhao Xiaodao and Zhao Xiaodao provoked him, and he still wants to get away with it?

-

Zhao Xiaodao has been locked in the room for two days.In the past two days, he thought a lot, and he became a little nervous.

Head Zhao seemed determined to teach him a lesson, he only had food and water delivered to him from outside the window every day, but he didn't come to see him in person or let him go out.

For the first few days, Zhao Xiaodao was still yelling, but later, Zhao Xiaodao's confidant disciple was sent to say a few words to him, Zhao Xiaodao was discouraged, from resentment to panic, and shrank in the In the corner, staring blankly at the ground.

That night, head Zhao, who hadn't seen anyone for several days, finally opened the door of Zhao Xiaodao's room, and walked in condescendingly.

Zhao Xiaodao was covered in dust, and he was completely different from the glamorous young master of the Shendao Sect a few days ago.

Headmaster Zhao smelled a sour smell as soon as he came in, he couldn't help but frowned and covered his nose, turned his head and told the people around him dissatisfied: "Go tell the kitchen to boil hot water, call a few people, and give the young master a good wash Clean it up. Tomorrow the distinguished guest will come, how can he go out to meet people like this?"

"Yes." The confidant disciple replied, and trotted to the kitchen.

Master Zhao sighed, walked up to Zhao Xiaodao, knelt down, and said with a pleasant face, "Xiaodao, uncle is here to see you."

Zhao Xiaodao raised his head dully, and for a moment, imperceptible hatred flashed in his eyes.But soon, it was replaced by pain and bitterness.

After all, he is his nephew, no matter what mistakes he made, he was spoiled and raised by him since he was a child and grew up so much. After locking him up for the past few days, the evil fire in Master Zhao's heart was also suppressed, and then he felt a little regretful.But as the master of a sect, he will not easily slap himself in the face.

Therefore, even if he wants to release his nephew, he must speak in a high-sounding manner, and cannot let his servants gossip.

If Zhao Xiaodao had just been imprisoned, head Zhao came in person, said a few words of kindness, and comforted him a few times, maybe he would let the matter pass in a daze, but he was imprisoned for several days. Head Zhao not only didn't have a word of comfort, but he was blaming him for being divorced from him—

Conscience of heaven and earth, he has been thinking day and night these days, racking his brains to figure out what he did wrong, which made the other party so angry.

Even if you want to execute him, you have to let him die clearly, right?

Head Zhao didn't mention a word, and he was carried into the bath water arrogantly, and reprimanded him with a little disgust: "Look at you, what are you looking like? Hurry up, wash up, today Rest early, tomorrow, come with me to meet the distinguished guest!"

Zhao Xiaodao pursed his lips, stood up without saying a word, bowed to Master Zhao, followed the servants, walked behind the screen, undressed and took a shower.

Head Zhao nodded in satisfaction, thinking that his nephew and child could be taught, and he wasn't too stupid.

Although his actions would make him feel a little chilled, since he was the one who made the mistake first, he should be punished by himself.

The second younger brother Quanxia knew, and he wouldn't blame him if he thought about it.

Thinking of this, head Zhao felt relieved a lot.He didn't stay here any longer, and after watching Zhao Xiaodao go to take a bath, he took people away.

Zhao Xiaodao buried himself in the bathtub, his body was soaked in hot water, he was so comfortable that he wanted to squint his eyes and let out a sigh.

But his body warmed up little by little, but his heart was still cold.He silently let the maid wash his hair and wipe his back, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he turned out of the screen to see that the head master Zhao had long since disappeared, and there were steaming hot meals on the table. Compared with the previous few days, he didn't know how delicious it was!

Zhao Xiaodao walked over and sat down.Those are all his favorite dishes, but now that they are in his mouth, the taste is gone.

The maids serving his meal were also different from the previous ones. They were taciturn and did not speak, but quietly served vegetables and rice. When they saw that he had finished eating, they cleaned up lightly, bowed their heads, and hurriedly hurried away.

Zhao Xiaodao closed his eyes, and walked to the bed with the candlestick in his hand - the bedding on the bed was also replaced with a new one, and the scent of saponin still remained on it.

He blew out the candle, lay down on the bed, pulled off the quilt and covered it, and fell into a dream in a daze.

This time, he fell into a drowsy sleep, always restless.In the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake seemed to have a dream.He saw his own father who died early, and his mother who died in love.

The two were so far away that he couldn't see them clearly, but he recognized each other's clothes and voice.

They spoke intermittently, and Zhao Xiaodao didn't hear the whole thing, but only the general idea.But even if he only heard the general idea, he was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat, and he took a step back involuntarily.

With this retreat, he seemed to have fallen into an abyss, which made him feel terrified——

The moment he fell, he seemed to see his parents turn their heads and look at him.

Zhao Xiaodao woke up from the nightmare, and the sky was bright.

The slight footsteps of the maids sounded.Soon, someone spoke through the screen: "Young master, it's time to get up."

Zhao Xiaodao took a few breaths, gritted his teeth, got up and went to the ground.

After washing up, he hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, but Zhao Xiaodao really lost his appetite, so he was asked to withdraw.

He still remembered the honored guest that his uncle had mentioned last night, so he asked someone to lead him to the hall.

Head Zhao was frowning, holding a thin piece of paper in his hand.Zhao Xiaodao only took a glance, then retracted his gaze, and bowed respectfully: "Uncle."

"Coming?" Head Zhao quickly put on a friendly smile, "Come and sit, just wait. He will be there soon."

"Yes." Zhao Xiaodao sat down, and the maid quickly brought hot tea.

Master Zhao said with a smile: "Xiao Dao, Uncle has been mad with anger for the past few days, and you have been wronged for a moment of negligence! Don't get angry with Uncle."

When Zhao Xiaodao heard this, the cup in his hand was almost crushed.He licked his molars, tried his best not to twist his smile, and said, "What did uncle say? My nephew did something wrong, and uncle deserves to be punished. Why would you be angry because of such a trivial matter?" ?”

Master Zhao was very satisfied when he heard it: "Okay! Uncle knows that you have been wronged, no, I bought this specially, it's your favorite food!"

Zhao Xiaodao almost didn't hold back, but still endured the humiliation, took the pastry from Master Zhao's hand, opened it and ate a piece face to face, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's still the same as before!"

Master Zhao chuckled.

Just at this time, the butler hurried in, greeted the two masters, and then said: "Master, young master, Su Lanqing's special envoy has arrived!"

"Hahaha, a distinguished guest is coming! Xiaodao, come here, let's go to welcome the distinguished guest together!"

"Yes."
