Yu Xiaoqiao's heart trembled slightly, and she wanted to ask something else, but was stopped by his increasingly loud voice.

Yu Xiaoqiao glanced at Yu Xiaomo beside him and touched his head.

She lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the white clouds floating freely in the sky, feeling particularly envious.

Looking at the other carriage, I wonder if Lan'er and Li Lingyan's servant Xiaoxin get along well.

Look again, there are four people on horseback.

Danzhu and Ye Feng had met before. One was a mature young man, while the other was cautious and polite.

This is the first time I’ve seen Mei Ruohai and Mei Ruoxing.

The two are Yu Wenrui's secret guards. They were adopted by the Prime Minister's Mansion since they were young and were taught by famous teachers. They are all top-notch masters.

Mei Ruohai is an expert in lightness skills, and Mei Ruoxing is well versed in pharmacology.

Although Mei Ruohai is a secret guard, he is a sunny boy who loves to talk and laugh, with big, bright eyes that are full of intelligence.

Mei Ruoxing was a girl who basically didn't talk. For at least the past day, Yu Xiaoqiao hadn't heard her say a word.

His eyes were cold, his brows were chilly, and he looked murderous.

Three days later, Liuzhou.

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the starlight is distant.

The soft and white ripples have not yet dissipated, but they are revealing a strange and eerie blood color, like huge ghost pupils.

"The crescent moon is blinking, the fog is impenetrable, don't run around in the dark, close the door at midnight..."

"The crescent moon is dark, and there is silence in the distance. Please close your eyes when it is dark, and no one will answer your call..."

Yu Xiaoqiao lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a cold wind blew past, causing heavy fog to drift in the dense forest and rustling leaves.

The tender voice of a child comes and goes, sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes absent.

The sound of the flute rang out, vague and ethereal, deep and strange.

Yu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but shiver, as if she heard the flute sound on the deck that day.

Li Lingyan and Yu Xiaoqiao exchanged glances and immediately understood each other.

Lao Mu was completely stunned, his ears stood up and his tail was tucked between his legs, his black eyes flashing a bloody red light.

Yu Xiaoqiao hurriedly held it in her arms and didn't relax for a long time.

A strange light appeared on Yu Xiaomo's neck.

Li Lingyan touched Yu Xiaoqiao's shoulder and looked at her deeply, "Don't be afraid!"

Yu Xiaoqiao shook her head slightly.

A boy with pigtails on his head asked, "Master, why don't you let me do it?"

"There is something strange in the car, don't act rashly." A figure covered by a black cloak replied calmly.

The long brim of the hat covers the entire face, so the facial features cannot be seen. Only the curved corners of the lips reveal a spooky and ghostly aura.

When we arrived at Si's Jiangliu Garden, it was already late at night.

Si Wenming was not in the villa.

I heard from the housekeeper that he went out the day before yesterday and has not returned yet.

Yu Xiaoqiao was a little worried.

Yu Xiaoqiao quietly released a "golden-tailed hummingbird".

The next day, Li Lingyan went out early in the morning and no one knew where he went. Danzhu and Ye Feng were nowhere to be seen.

Yu Xiaoqiao sent Mei Ruoxing and Mei Ruohai to investigate Xu's herbal medicine store.

It was already afternoon of the next day when the golden-tailed hummingbird flew back.

Si Wen's fate is in the Xu family.

Xu family?

Could it be the Xu family with the Nine Golden Tripods?

Yu Xiaoqiao put on an invisibility cloak, loaded on Lao Mu, followed the guidance of the "Golden-tailed Hummingbird", found Xu's house, and climbed over the wall to enter.

As soon as she entered Xu's house, Yu Xiaoqiao felt something indescribable weirdness.

The huge mansion was bare, without a single tree or blade of grass.

There is water everywhere, ponds, fountains, rockery, and artificial lakes.

"Hurry, pack up quickly, because a distinguished guest will arrive tomorrow. If you make any mistakes, I will beat you to death!" An old servant shouted, waving a stick.

The servants and maids all looked panicked and walked hurriedly.

"Master, Master!"

A crisp sound came from far away.

A young boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

He was wearing brocade clothes, was rather plump but had a very small head, and he staggered towards me clumsily.

"Clear water, splashing, small snakes come, big snakes go, weird old man, smiling..."

The young man clapped his hands, jumped and hummed with joy.

He ran so fast that he accidentally tripped and broke his nose. He sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Yu Xiaoqiao walked across the courtyard and followed the "Golden-tailed Hummingbird" directly into the warehouse.

On the beam, I met Si Wenming.

Yu Xiaoqiao was just about to play a trick on him.

"Xiao Qiao, is that you?" Si Wenming asked slowly.

Yu Xiaoqiao took off her hood, and her smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Si Wenming.

Si Wen ordered Hu Zha to hide himself, and Yu Xiaoqiao hurriedly handed him the water and food in the invisibility bag.

Si Wenming smiled and started eating and drinking.

"Why are you here? Are you worried about me?" Si Wenming laughed while eating.

Yu Xiaoqiao tore a piece of food from Si Wenming's hand and said, "I'm going to do something else. By the way, I'm worried about Master Si."

"Nine Golden Cauldrons?" Si Wenming asked curiously.

Yu Xiaoqiao was stunned and asked in surprise: "How do you know... Hey, he must have spoken out of turn after drinking!"

"I also heard that he had a tripod. But after going in and out for several days, I couldn't find any trace of it." Si Wenming said slowly.

A warm feeling flowed through Yu Xiaoqiao's heart.

With a creak, the warehouse door opened.

Yu Xiaoqiao and Si Wenming hurriedly hid behind the roof beams.

"Master Wu is coming. He will definitely check the warehouse. Don't be careless. Otherwise, Qian Liu, you will lose your head." A middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and many black spots said in a solemn voice.

A young servant looked at the herbs spread on the ground and said softly, "Master Liu, don't worry. We are very familiar with this route. We will pack this batch of goods tonight and send it to the capital tomorrow morning."

Oh my god! The invisible bag was not pulled properly, and the food residue slipped out and fell straight onto the middle-aged man's head.

"what!"

Yu Xiaoqiao broke out in a cold sweat and was shocked.

When the needle was about to hit the man's head, Si Wenming flicked his finger and the flying needle fixed the food into the side wall.

"Be sure to be careful and don't be careless." The middle-aged man felt a breeze blowing, looked up at the roof, and said unsteadily.

After the two men left, Yu Xiaoqiao slapped his chest and gasped heavily.

Si Wenming glanced at her and said, "You go back. They will ship the goods tonight. I will keep an eye on them. After confirming the delivery channel, I will send someone else to follow."

"Don't work so hard. I have a way." Yu Xiaoqiao took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Immediately, he took out a "mosquito" and released it.

He threw a few more black pieces onto the bag of medicine.

Yu Xiaoqiao jumped down from the beam and let Lao Mu out.

Lao Mu raised his dog paws, stretched lazily, and jumped around among the herbs.

After a while.

Yu Xiaoqiao glanced and shouted, "Let's go!"

Although Si Wenming was confused, he still followed and investigated other warehouses in Xu's mansion.

Afterwards, sneak into Mr. Xu's room.

"It's been more than ten years since Master Wu returned to the mansion. The Xu family's business is about to take over the entire Xin Dynasty! The head of the Zhen family has also sent news about the young master's illness. He will send an expert soon and said that the condition will definitely improve."

The old servant's face was squeezed into a chrysanthemum as he spoke flatteringly.

The old servant, known as Master Liu, is the steward of the Xu family.

For more than ten years, he has been in charge of all the dirty work in the Xu family, and he knows all the dirty things.

Master Xu wiped his eyes and said with emotion: "Okay, if the young master gets well, the Zhen family will be the Xu family's second parents. Don't even think about giving medicine to the Si family, even if it means killing me, I will die for it!"

Mr. Xu has gray hair and a three-inch beard. He doesn't look very smart, but he looks kind.

His name was Xu Shiheng, and he was the fourth generation of the Xu family. Seeing that his only son was stupid, he burned incense and prayed every day, but there was no improvement, and he was very anxious and desperate.

Master Wu? Zhen family?

Who is this person?

The two men left Master Xu's room and searched everywhere, but they did not find any trace of the Nine Golden Cauldrons.

Only at an abandoned well did we find a huge snake hole.

Nothing could be seen through the dark cave entrance, but faint and strange sounds could be heard from deep inside the cave.

Yu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but shiver, and goose bumps appeared on her arms.
