Chapter 1107 Mutual cheating, killing Xia Houyi

The saint is still fighting with that puppet.

The puppet tried to get rid of the saint several times and headed straight for the carriage, but was stopped by the saint forcefully.

With the help of Gui Ji, the saint not only regained her own skill, but also absorbed a part of the internal energy of the woman in green, and her skill improved a little.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking to Xie Jinnian, and focused on the battle between the saint and the masked puppet.

Puppets are actually divided into levels.

If we compare the puppets of the Saintess Hall in Nanjiang to junior puppets, the puppets who had been lurking in the Drunken Life, Dream and Death Pavilion were intermediate puppets. Although Su Xiaoxiao had never seen them make a move in the Sutra Pavilion, he had never seen them. Judging by the aura and sense of oppression, it should be considered a high-level puppet.

Right now, the one who came to assassinate Xie Jinnian is between intermediate and advanced level.

If the saint didn't have the internal strength to absorb Feng Lao, she wouldn't be able to deal with him.

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Xia Houyi sent such a powerful puppet here, because he really intends to let you go and never return."

But Xia Houyi probably didn't expect Xie Jinnian to be so cunning. He went out to seek the "blessing" of the two elders, and then abducted the master of Baihua Palace when he came back.

The saint finally got rid of the puppet.

"Did you **** his internal energy?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The saint shook her head: "Fire, Qi."

It turns out that this puppet also has burning air in its body.

Without the Mistress of the Palace, no one can force the scorching air into a corner and seal it up. If it is absorbed rashly, the saint will be injured.

Xie Jinnian looked at the saint for a moment, her veil was still there, but her eyes were exposed.

The once cold and haughty eyes became clear and innocent now.

The saint stood by the car window without moving.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the hidden compartment of the carriage, took out a bunch of shiny candied haws from inside, tore off the oily paper on the outside, and handed it to the saint: "Here."

The saint took the candied haws, jumped onto the roof of the car in a mighty manner, sat cross-legged, and ate it expressionlessly.

Xie Jinnian: "..."

In the dark and damp dungeon, Xia Houzheng was tied to a wooden post for only one night. He seemed to have been tortured, and he was in a mess and decadent.

The City Lord's Mansion has always been a place where one worships the high and tramples on the low. No matter how noble one's status was in the past, as long as one is abandoned by the City Lord, it is a useless pawn.

Even the jailers are not polite to him.

The jailer gave Xia Houzheng a whip, and said coldly, "Say it quickly! Where is the remaining half of the treasure map?"

Elders Zhao and Elder Liu stood outside the prison door with stern eyes, carefully observing Xia Houzheng's expression.

Xia Houzheng smiled weakly and ferociously: "I said, there is no treasure map!"

"You are still sophistry!"

The jailer gave him another whip.

Xia Houzheng let out a muffled snort, held back the pain and anger, and said with tearing eyes: "You idiots! Xia Houjin was all fooled! Everything...was Xia Houjin's trap...you don't catch him...instead Come and wrong me...you will regret it! You will definitely regret it!"

"You dare to bite the second son back when you are about to die, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

The jailer gave Xia Houzheng a few more whips, until Xia Houzheng passed out.

The jailer turned around and bowed his hands to Elder Zhao and Elder Liu: "Elders, he fainted again."

Elder Liu looked at Elder Zhao: "What do you think?"

Elder Zhao said with a complicated expression: "The order of the city lord, you must ask the whereabouts of the other half of the treasure map, and then interrogate him after he wakes up."

Elder Liu nodded: "Alright."

After Xie Jinnian and Su Xiaoxiao entered the City Lord's Mansion, they went directly to Xia Houqing's bedroom.

Xia Houqing was finishing her official duties, when she heard that the two had arrived, she said to Guan Shi, "Let them come in, first go to the Phoenix Pavilion."

"Yes, Santo."

Steward Chang personally led the two of them to the Phoenix Pavilion.

Phoenix Pavilion is the place where Xia Houqing specially placed the two Phoenix birds. It was originally called Maple Leaf Residence, but the plaque was changed overnight.

Phoenix Pavilion has a yard and a clean and warm room.

The finest silver charcoal is burning inside, which is as warm as spring and summer.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao entered the room, she was dizzy by a wave of heat.

"Wow."

She quickly took two steps back.

Manager Chang was surprised: "Second Young Madam, what's wrong?"

"It's so hot."

Su Xiaoxiao's novel.

Steward Chang smiled: "The city lord was worried that the phoenix bird would be cold, so he asked someone to make the house so warm."

He is still claiming credit for the city lord, hoping to gain favor with Ling Yun through Su Xiaoxiao.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao said: "Phoenix birds are not afraid of cold, they are afraid of heat."

"ah?"

Manager Chang was dumbfounded.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the house, carried out the two phoenix birds whose eyes were turned white by the heat, and put them in the biting cold wind.

After blowing for a while, the dying Phoenix finally recovered.

Er Niao seemed to have finally met her mother's family, flapping her wings and rushing towards Su Xiaoxiao, screaming aggrievedly around her feet.

Uh... isn't this the cry of the Five Tigers?

Don't be led astray by that 25-year-old boy!

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and touched the two phoenix birds: "Okay, it's not hot anymore, and it won't be hot in the future. I brought you phoenix grass, eat it quickly."

She took the phoenix grass out of the basket.

Phoenix grass is said to be grass, but it is actually a kind of plant's tender buds, which Phoenix birds love to eat.

Seeing that the phoenix bird really started to eat, Manager Chang was dumbfounded: "Really...it's just too hot..."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "They also eat grains and some flower seeds, but they are very particular about the water they drink, and only drink the dew in the morning."

Manager Chang took notes carefully.

After feeding the phoenix bird, Su Xiaoxiao and Xie Jinnian went to Xia Houqing's side to report back.

Xia Houqing has finished her official duties, and is comparing the half of the real treasure map with the fake treasure map that Lou Bufan dedicated to herself.

"City Lord, the Second Young Master is seeking an audience with the Second Young Madam of Baihua Palace."

The guard reported.

Xia Houqing nodded, folded the treasure map, and put it in the brocade box at hand.

Two people enter.

Su Xiaoxiao told Xia Houqing about the situation of the phoenix bird, so that the city owner does not have to worry, as long as he strictly follows the method she explained, he will be able to raise the two phoenix birds beautifully and plumply.

Adult phoenix birds have colored plumage.

Xia Houqing felt relieved, and was planning to pay attention to Ling Yun's situation.

Suddenly, Xie Jinnian said, "What did you say? There is a strange smell in the box?"

Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

Chief Eunuch, what are you doing?

When did I speak?

Xie Jinnian pointed to the brocade box on the table, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Is this the box? Why can't I smell it? Yes, Yun Lin told me that your sense of smell is different from ordinary people."

The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

He mentioned ghosts to you!

"Father." Xie Jinnian looked at Xia Houqing worriedly.

Suspiciousness flashed across Xia Houqing's eyes, but after thinking about it, she was not considered an outsider, and had repaired her relationship with her son many times, so she asked Xie Jinnian to show her the brocade box.

Xie Jinnian took the brocade box and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao: "Smell it carefully."

I heard that grandpa is a grandma!

Su Xiaoxiao stared at him.

Xie Jinnian turned his back to Xia Houqing, his expression was calm, but his tone was beyond surprised: "What did you say...you...you..."

Su Xiaoxiao: My aunt didn't say a word!

I just watch you act, and you continue to act!

Xia Houqing asked: "Xiao Xiao, what did you find?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Jinnian coldly: "Yes, Second Young Master, what did I find?"

Xie Jinnian turned around, with a complicated expression on his face: "Father, don't blame the Second Young Madam, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to say it."

Xia Houqing: "But it doesn't matter."

Xie Jinnian said: "Second young lady said... the half sheepskin roll in the box... has the smell of medicine from my uncle's room... very faint... but she can smell it... and can't smell it wrong..."

The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

Your uncle!

It's not enough to cheat me on the road, but you still continue to cheat me when you enter the mansion!

As soon as Xia Houyi sent someone to assassinate him, his counterattack was arranged.

Even dragged her into the water!

Xia Houqing frowned: "Xiao Xiao, are you serious?"

If there is a smell of medicine in the uncle's room on the treasure map, it means that the treasure map has been placed with the second uncle for a long time, otherwise it is impossible to get the smell of medicine.

Could it be

No, that's his uncle!

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said nothing, Xia Houqing said seriously: "Xiaoxiao, this half parchment scroll is not an ordinary map, its importance is beyond your imagination, you can think clearly, it really... has my second uncle The smell of medicine in the room?"

These words seem to be emphasizing the importance of the treasure map, but they are actually warning Su Xiaoxiao not to slander Xia Houyi at will.

Xiahouzheng is his adopted son, but Xiahouyi is his uncle, who is connected with him by blood.

And when he was young, he was often taken care of by his uncle.

He has always treated his second uncle as his biological father.

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated to speak.

Xia Houqing said: "Why don't you talk? If you smell it wrong, it's no big deal, it's all my own, and I won't blame you."

Enough is enough, correct it in time, he can look at Yun Lin's face and forgive her this time.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said in embarrassment: "I...I can tell the truth, but the city lord promises that no matter what I say, you will not kill me or punish me, so I dare to speak."

Xia Houqing said solemnly: "If you are innocent, I will naturally not punish you. If you intend to make false accusations, I will not forgive you lightly."

Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes: "Okay, okay, I'll say that's it! I did smell a little bit, but it's not very real. The reason... dare to doubt the Second Grandpa... is because the Second Young Master told me on the way here, His subordinates saw the fourth dragon crystal in the room of the Second Great Master."

Xia Houqing glanced at Xie Jinnian.

Xie Jinnian's eyelids twitched.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.

Come on, hurt each other!

"This is real?"

Xia Houqing clenched her fingers and looked at Xie Jinnian.

Su Xiaoxiao asked weakly: "City Master, should I avoid it and wait for you outside?"

Xia Houqing agrees.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and paused when she passed by Xie Jinnian, raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice:

"Eunuch Jin, I advise you to quickly put the dragon crystal in Xiahouyi's yard, and put the blame on it, otherwise I'm afraid that if the city lord can't find it, you will be miserable.

"Ah, by the way, it looks like you've run out of bird food.

"Ruyi loves you!"

Brother Jin if you have something to do, but Eunuch Jin if you don't have anything to do.

I have been coughing since Er Yang, so I went to the hospital for a CT scan in the afternoon. I will stop here today and see you tomorrow.
