Xie Ming

Chapter 185: Waking up from the nightmare!
Xiao'e handed the Lu Ban lock to Yuzhen like presenting a treasure, and said seriously that it would be more beautiful facing the sun.

Hearing what she said, Yuzhen really became interested. She imitated Yu'e's behavior, raised her white arm high and lifted the stone lock.

The warm afternoon sun shines directly down.

Yuzhen stood in the white light, her skin was white and translucent, her figure was as white as ice, she was so beautiful and charming, like a fairy!

Xiao Lang stood there, not noticing what was happening, and was stunned.

"Haha, it's so beautiful!" Yuzhen laughed like a silver bell.

"Transparent and brilliant, colorful!"

“I like this little stone lock very much!”

"I wonder what kind of stone this is made of?"

Yuzhen spoke softly, trying to find a topic to talk about with Xiao Jingchuan.

But before Xiao Lang could reply, Yu'e at the side couldn't hold back and interrupted him.

"Sister, it's Luanhe Stone!"

"Brother Xiao said so!"

"Haha!" Yuzhen smiled again when she heard that.

"Where did you get it?!" he said again to Xiao Lang.

"Oh, yeah."

"I went to the street with Uncle Jiao and bought it on the street. It was very cheap."

"Of course it is not as valuable as gold or jade."

Xiao Jingchuan didn't say much before going back to the topic he was talking about just now.

"Haha! So beautiful!"

Before Xiao Lang finished speaking, Yuzhen raised the stone lock again towards the sun.

"Xiao'e and I have seen many gold and jade items!"

“Not rare!”

"Although this stone is not a valuable item, it is exquisite and novel. I really like it!"

"Xiao Lang, thank you!"

Yuzhen's words were gentle, and Xiao Jingchuan was very happy to hear such words of thanks.

But he didn't know what to do for a moment, so he just scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Seeing his silly look, the two sisters couldn't help but burst into laughter with their hands covering their mouths.

But, the happy and sweet time is always extremely short!
Just as the three of them were laughing and talking.

Suddenly!

A sleeve suddenly swung out from behind Yuzhen, and the man took advantage of the three children's unpreparedness to snatch the heart-shaped Lu Ban lock from Yuzhen's hand.

Then, he snorted coldly!
Snapped!
With another wave of his sleeves, the stone Lu Ban lock fell to the ground!

Immediately, it broke into pieces and turned into slag!

Yuzhen was caught off guard and was really shocked!
I turned around hurriedly, only to see that it was my mother who did it!
"what?!"

"mother!"

As Yuzhen called out, Xiao'e and Xiaolang also looked over there instantly, both of them looking like mice seeing a cat.

The wife of the Duke, Wang, now appeared in front of the three people like a dark shadow or a ghost. Her face was ashen, solemn, and filled with some inexplicable hatred.

"Yuzhen, Yu'e, who told you to let outsiders into the inner courtyard at will?!" Wang said sternly.

Hearing this, Yuzhen nodded without saying anything. Xiao'e, with her hands trembling, saw that her sister's Luban lock was broken, and hurriedly hid the one in her hand in her sleeve.

Xiao Lang, who was standing nearby, was also very frightened when he saw the situation, but he was worried about his two sisters. He was afraid that they would be implicated because of him, so he gritted his teeth and started to greet them.

"what"

"Madam, I am your adopted son Xiao Jingchuan, greeting you!"

"this matter"

But right now!
Xiao Lang hasn't finished speaking yet!

suddenly!

Snapped!
A loud slap!

He slapped Xiao Lang on the left cheek!

"Bastards!"

"Do you have the right to speak?!"

"Adopted son?!"

"Pooh!"

"There is a young master in the Duke's Mansion!"

"You leave your own biological son alone and try to imitate others in adopting a shitty adopted son!"

"roll!"

"Get out of the inner courtyard!"

"roll!"

Teng!
Xiao Jingchuan suddenly woke up from his bed! In panic, he covered his left face, and at this moment, his face was still burning with pain!

Xiao Lang was breathing heavily, feeling so angry and resentful that he couldn't express it in words.

He sat like this for a long time before he came to his senses from the nightmare.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and his shirt was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Xiao Lang spread out his palms, looked at himself who had grown up, and suddenly shook his head vigorously.

It seemed that the splitting headache I had felt before had been alleviated by a lot.

So he took a deep breath and sighed.

He patted his face to refresh himself, then he got out of bed by himself!
Right now, it's still gray outside the window, half black and half white before dawn.

Xiao Lang stretched his muscles and then his face regained its usual calmness. He walked out of the room and headed towards the front hall of the Governor's Office.

Not long after, Xiao Lang came from behind into the front hall.

He walked there quietly and saw that the front hall was in a mess with people in disarray. Soldiers from his own army were coming and going, and there were also wounded soldiers stranded in the front yard.

"Fei Yu (Qiu Zhizhong), Changting!" Xiao Lang walked over from behind.

In the middle of the front hall, Zhizhong and Changting, who were giving orders for errands, saw Xiaolang coming out and hurried over to him.

"ah!"

"Old Xiao, wake up!"

Hearing the sound, Death Star and Mr. Liu, who were sitting nearby, also stood up.

"Haha, Feiyu, what time is it now?!" Xiao Lang walked closer to the people and asked casually.

"Oh, 5:30 a.m."

"Old Xiao, why are you up at this moment?"

"Why don't you go get some more sleep?"

"The situation in Baoding Prefecture is now settled! These are just some trivial details, so just leave them to me, Changting, and Minglu to handle!"

Zhizhong is still worried about Xiaolang's health.

"Haha, nothing happened!"

"I feel much better after a good sleep!"

"Fei Yu, tell me in detail the current situation in the city!" Xiao Lang waved his hand and asked again.

"Oh! All right."

"Right now, Peizhong and his men have taken over the defense of Baoding City."

"I will send Generals Liu Wenbing, Gong Yonggu, and Xu Jizu to guard the four city gates."

"Wang Chuanwu led his troops to patrol the city at night to guard against any trouble caused by scoundrels."

"As for Minglu, he has gone out to search for supplies!" Zhizhong replied.

Hearing about this situation, Xiao Lang felt very relieved.

"Yeah, good, very good!"

"I have no worries! No worries!"

"Eh? That's right."

"Fei Yu, how did the matter of Xu Baoyi end up on your side?!" Xiao Lang thought.

"Haha, it's already been settled!"

"Xu Baoyi has already agreed to sincerely submit to you and me!" Zhizhong replied.

"Oh, is it so?!"

"Okay!"

"Fei Yu, tell me, how did you and Master Liu operate after I took my people away?!"

Xiao Lang was very happy to receive this reply, so he wanted to ask about the details.

"Hey, I didn't encounter any major obstacles during this time."

"After you left the Yongchang Fur Shop, Mr. Liu and I took Wang Enbao to the Bushi Street in the west of the city, to his daughter and her husband's home!"

"As you expected, the squad leader Hong Tianyang is not at home. He said he is on duty tonight."

"So I followed your plan, explained the pros and cons, and let Mr. Liu take Wang Enbao's daughter to the prison to find Hong Tianyang!"

"Pretend that Wang Enbao has suddenly developed an old illness and is suffering from an acute disease. This way, we can earn Hong Tianyang to return home!"

"When he comes back, Mr. Liu and I will use his wife to threaten Wang Enbao!"

"I never thought that Hong Tianyang is actually a henpecked husband!"

"It didn't take much talking to force Hong Tianyang to submit!"
