Although he said that, he knew in his heart that Wei Ting was a person who did not care about his life. The next time he encountered the same danger, he would still disregard his life.
The old man stopped talking. Thin sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Su Xiaoxiao walked out tactfully.
The next day, the Directorate had a break.
Su Ergou prepared a big surprise for Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.
“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, look who’s here.”
The three little ones were eating breakfast with Cheng Sang when they heard this and looked at Su Ergou in unison.
Su Ergou moved aside, revealing the surprise behind him. The three little ones widened their eyes. “Wow!”
“Sihu!” Xiaohu slid down from the chair.
Zongzheng Wei’s eyes flashed with surprise. ‘What a beautiful big food horse.” Erhu also climbed down to hug Sihu.
Dahu was not in a hurry to run over. Instead, he introduced it to Cheng Sang and Zongzheng Hui like a gentleman. “Sangsang, Your Majesty, it’s a horse we raised in the village. Its name is Sihu. It’s almost two years old!”
Sihu was about the same age as the cub.
However, Sihu grew quickly and had been training in the military camp for many days. It was as strong as a two-year-old horse.
The little cub was chubby and small, looking only a year old.
Cheng Sang patted Dahu’s head dotingly. “Sihu as cute as Dahu.”
Dahu blushed shyly.
His compet.i.tion for favor was successful.
Stinky brother, step aside.
Erhu raised his head. “Sihu, you’re so tall.”
When they first arrived home, Sihu was still sucking on milk bottles with them. Now, Sihu was already a reserve warhorse.
Sihu jumped happily.
Xiaohu pointed at the house and introduced, “Sihu, that’s Sangsang, that’s His Majesty!”
Sihu turned around and ran!
Cheng Sang was stunned.
What… was going on?
Didn’t it like her?
Not long after, Sihu returned with a bouquet of freshly plucked peony flowers in its mouth.
Sihu handed the flowers to Cheng Sang.
Cheng Sang smiled.
Zongzheng Wei sighed secretly. To think a man was inferior to a horse.
When would he get a smile like that from Sangsang?
Wei Ting recuperated at the old man’s side for three days and three nights, and Xiahou Yan was almost unconscious for three days and three nights.
In the middle of the night, Xiahou Yan finally woke up.
He was not in a daze. He was really awake.
His hands were covered in gauze, and the arrow in his thigh had long been taken out. The wound was st.i.tched up.
Despite the medication and bandages, the pain could not dissipate.
He swallowed in his dry throat and tried to remember where he was.
He had been awake for the past few days.
However, he was also in a daze when he woke up. Soon, he fell asleep again. He thought he was dreaming. Now that he thought about it, he had heard their conversation.
That day, his stupid subordinates had caught the wrong person and ended up with the daughter of the Qin family.
That little girl was Qin Canglan’s only biological granddaughter and was also the Young Madam of the Wei family, Wei Ting’s wife.
Elder Feng had already been killed by them, and almost all his subordinates had been wiped out.
His plan in the Great Zhou had failed.
He was locked up in the Protectorate. The man who fought with him in the forest that day was called Su Mo.
He had a younger brother called Su Li.
The golden-armed man who fought with Arhat Shan Ji was Wei Xu’s sixth son. His name was Wei Yan.
Of course, he knew about Wei Yan. He had just never seen him before and could not match his face with his name.
It was the same for Wei Chen and Wei Qing.
The Wei family was actually involved with the Jade-faced Rakshasa.
Didn’t the Wei family know that Wei Xu had been captured by the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance at Broken North Pa.s.s back then?
Six years ago, many factions partic.i.p.ated in the Wei family’s tragedy.
The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance, the royal family of the Southern Wilderness, and…
As he was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open.
A tall and thin figure walked in.
There was no light in the house.
However, when the cold moonlight landed on his young and handsome face, Xiahou Yan still recognized him at a glance.
Xiahou Yan’s hands and feet were tied, so he could only lie on the bed. He glared at the other party coldly and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “The person I saw that day… was indeed you.”
Ling Yun didn’t say anything and walked in calmly.
Xiahou Yan thought of the conversation he had heard intermittently over the past few days and smiled mockingly. “I was wondering why I haven’t seen you for a few years. I heard that you left the island to travel. Who would have thought that you would hide in the Great Zhou and get involved with the Wei family?”
The Qin, Wei, and Su families were one.
Although this was the Protectorate, the three families had once appeared in the woodshed and were very close to each other.
Moreover, he learned from them that this guy had taken in the children of the Wei family as his disciples.
Xiahou Yan sneered and said, “The Pear Blossom Dart is yours, right? The City Governor’s Estate has no grudge with your Hundred Flowers Palace. Why did you help a few outsiders deal with me?”
Ling Yun said, “Are you one of us?”
Xiahou Yan mocked, “I’m not, but don’t you think it’s strange that you helped the Wei family deal with me? Don’t tell me you don’t know what your Hundred Flowers Palace did to the Wei family back then!”
Ling Yun said, “It’s not your place to interfere in the matters of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Xiahou Yan chuckled and said, “Then why are you looking for me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose your ident.i.ty and secrets? Ah, I forgot to ask. They probably don’t know who you are, right? Why don’t we make a deal?
“To be honest, I’m not interested in why you’re lurking beside the Wei family, and I have no intention of asking about your Hundred Flowers Palace’s plan.
“As long as you’re willing to let me go, I’ll bring all your secrets back to Thousand Mountain Island.
“Otherwise, I’ll immediately tell that girl and the Wei family what your
Hundred Flowers Palace did to the Wei family at Broken North Pa.s.s back then!”
It was dawn.
A terrified roar came from the woodshed. “Grandpa! Something happened!”
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Cheng quickly went to the woodshed.
Lu Aotian muttered, “It’s not on my side!”
Su Cheng opened Xiahou Yan’s door and walked over to check his breathing.
“He’s not breathing. He’s dead.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Who came last night?”
Lu Aotian said, “I don’t know! I fell asleep! d.a.m.n it! Why did I sleep so soundly?”
Not long after, a maidservant came over with a food box. “Eldest Miss, has Young Master Ling left? I’ll send food over. There’s no one in his room.”
Su MO came over early in the morning and saw the dead Xiahou Yan.
He frowned.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Go to Pear Blossom Lane to look for Ling Yun.” Su MO went.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the place was already empty.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to her courtyard. “Xing’er, did Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu go to my grandmother?”
The three little ones would look for Cheng Sang when they woke up recently. Xing’er said, “No, Great Madam even asked someone to ask why the children hadn’t gone over yet.”
Soon, Su Ergou’s voice sounded from outside. “Sister, Sister, Sister! The four tigers are gone!”
They searched the entire mansion but could not find Sihu and three little ones.
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.. “Ling Yun!”
