Hong Ling seemed to be just a low-level maid. She had no idea what Qiao Xianyong was referring to, but she still answered cautiously and respectfully, "I don't know what the young master is talking about."

Qiao Xianyong did not give up, and after thinking for a while he asked more directly, "In addition to Madam and our guests, is there anyone else living in this house?"

Hong Ling still looked innocent and replied, "If you go back to the master, I don't know."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of this little girl's mouth, Qiao Xianyong had no choice but to give up.

After walking for a while, they came to a large pavilion, and heard the sound of the piano constantly coming from the air. Hongling respectfully gave way to Qiao Xianyong and said, "Sir, please go upstairs. Madam and young lady are already here.

Already."

Qiao Xianyong saw that this was a two-story pavilion with quite exquisite construction, so he climbed up the stairs. As expected, when he reached the second-floor courtyard, he saw that Huanxiang was sitting opposite Mrs. Wu, and Qier and Mrs. Liu were standing behind to wait.

Thinking that Mrs. Zhang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was here now, she couldn't help showing a proud look when she saw Qiao Xianyong.

I think Mrs. Zhang must have rushed to Ling Fei'er overnight to get the star map on Madam Wu's order. As for the reason they used to persuade Ling Fei'er, there is no way of knowing. Qiao Xianyong pretended to look at it as if nothing had happened.

Glancing at Qier, he saw Qier's subtle and imperceptible nod. Qiao Xianyong knew that indeed, Mrs. Wu had already learned about Qiao Xianyong's sight of the constellation map.

Qiao Xianyong thought to himself that since it was all about acting, he should put on a good performance and show it to this old woman from the Feitian Sect. So he lifted up his robe and sat down with a smile on his face, a smile that seemed to be hard to hide on his face, and said,

"Mother, this is such an elegant place!"

Mrs. Wu looked at Qiao Xianyong thoughtfully, and saw that his face was filled with joy. She thought it was because he had obtained the star chart again. Then she slightly nodded and said, "Yong'er, this courtyard is very big. If you

If you like it, just play around and let Xiang'er and Granny Zhang accompany you."

Qiao Xianyong was really hoping that Mrs. Wu would say this, so that he could go around and explore where his mother was imprisoned, but two more informants were placed on her. Huanxiang was lucky, but Mrs. Zhang who followed her everywhere was really hateful. But in order to avoid arousing Mrs. Wu's suspicion

, so he could only pretend to be impatient and nodded.

Mrs. Wu added, "Yong'er, I see that you don't look tired from the journey. You seem to be very happy in your heart. If you have any happy things, I will tell my mother and your sister." After saying this, she looked at him with a smile.

Looking at him, there was a cunning look in his eyes.

Qiao Xianyong naturally knew the meaning of Mrs. Wu's words. He smiled and said, "Mother, to be honest, my son is very happy when he thinks that he will see his long-lost master in the capital. What's more, his son still has

There are many things that I can't think of clearly even after racking my brain, and I want to ask Master." He saw the urgent look on Mrs. Wu's face, so he added, "Mother mentioned before, about this Ling Buzhen matter, I want to ask Master.

He has great supernatural powers and has traveled a lot in the world, so he must know something about it, so in order to ease my mother's worries, I also want to discuss it with the master."

When Mrs. Wu saw that Qiao Xianyong actually mentioned the Ling family, her eyes could not help but light up, but of course it was not because of Ling Buzhen, but she guessed that Qiao Xianyong was in a hurry to see Wei Hong because of the constellation map. She expected that Qiao Xianyong was probably

I don’t know where I got this star map, but I was stupid and didn’t know its use. I must have rushed to see Wei Hong to solve the mystery.

Mrs. Wu said carefully, "Yong'er, my mother is very grateful that your master has raised you up. If you see Hero Wei, how about you also invite him back to our house?"

Qiao Xianyong showed a troubled look on his face and said, "Mother, my son does still have troubles in his heart. This capital is so big, and I don't know how to find the master. In addition, my master never likes to be restrained.

It's hard to tell whether my son can be invited back to my hometown like Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes. We can only wait until we see the master to discuss it."

Mrs. Wu didn't know what to say at this time, so she just followed Qiao Xianyong's words and continued, "That's the reason. Yong'er, I think you should rest after dinner, so you should go out and see how you can find Hero Wei. I think although this capital is big,

If he wants to contact you, he will definitely leave some traces."

Qiao Xianyong nodded in agreement and asked Huanxiang if he could go out with him, but Mrs. Wu flatly refused. Mrs. Wu said, "No matter what Xiang'er is, she is still a girl who has not left the court. It is not good to follow you outside and go crazy all day long."

I think it will be good if Mrs. Zhang will follow and take care of her." After saying this, her expression seemed very determined, and she couldn't help but Qiao Xianyong said something else. Qiao Xianyong could only give up.

In the afternoon of this day, after Qiao Xianyong changed her clothes, she took Granny Zhang away from Wu's house. Unfortunately, she wandered around the city for a day and gained nothing, so she had to return to the house in frustration. She also had some dinner.

Lying on the bed in a daze. I don't know how long I stayed there. I just heard that everything outside became quiet. I thought it was late at night and everyone in the house had already rested. And Qier knew that he had been out all afternoon and found nothing, so he must be in a bad mood.

So I didn't bother him too much.

When Qiao Xianyong was staring at the roof in trance, he suddenly heard a few extremely slight "clicking" sounds that seemed to be coming from the tiles on the roof. Although he heard the sound, he didn't pay attention to it and just thought it was something.

The passing of the cat and bird. Unexpectedly, not long after, I heard a slight "click" sound again.

No, could it be someone?

Just as he was thinking about it, Qiao Xianyong suddenly saw a vague thing hanging outside the window paper of his room. He couldn't help but sit up and stare there. The moonlight outside the window was very bright. He saw that it was not something at all, but something.

A human face! Strangely, through the window paper, this face actually glowed green!

"Who is it!" Qiao Xianyong shouted, and at the same time he picked up a teacup placed on the small round table by the window and threw it hard like the window. Qiao Xianyong's internal strength had recovered a little, and the force was cruel and accurate. The words in his mouth

Before the sound even fell, the tea cup had already passed through the window paper with a strong wind, and then there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

"Hehehehehe, that's all!" A ghostly laughter like an owl came from the night sky, and then disappeared into this huge mansion out of thin air.

Qiao Xianyong didn't bother to put on his outer robe, and quickly got out of bed, pushed on his shoes, pushed open the door and rushed outside. He saw that the room where Qier and Granny Zhang lived had also been lit up by candlelight. Their hair was disheveled and their clothes were thrown around in a hurry.

He hurriedly ran to the courtyard.

Qier rubbed her eyes and said blankly, "Sir, who is laughing? The sound is so terrible, my heart seemed to be twitching after hearing it. Young Master, are you okay?"

Qiao Xianyong said in a deep voice, "I don't know who it was. It seemed that he came down from the roof and was looking outside my window. I threw a teacup over and the person ran away."

Granny Zhang said with a nervous look on her face, "In the past few days, Madam has mobilized experts from all over the country to come to the capital. Our mansion is supposed to be the safest. How could someone break in and leave safely?"

Go? I don’t know why he came to the house. I have to go and report to the madam quickly and investigate all night." After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Qier stared at Granny Zhang leaving with her mouth open, and suddenly remembered something, she approached Qiao Xianyong and whispered, "Sir, didn't Madam say that there was some Ling Buzhen who had a grudge against us? Could it be that person came to seek revenge?

What did you come to grab?"

Qiao Xianyong has always been doubtful about the "Ling Bu Zhen" mentioned by Mrs. Wu. As far as he knows, there is no such person in the Ling Zi Palace lineage. The only people in the world who have the blood of the Ling family are Ling Fei'er and Chu Hongjing's mother.

There was probably no one else besides Ling Zhenzhen. But something strange happened that night, which made him doubt the big enemy that Mrs. Wu said.

Although thoughts were surging in Qiao Xianyong's heart, he calmly comforted Qi'er and said, "Don't be afraid. You go back to your room to rest first. I will check in this courtyard."

Qier was actually very scared in her heart, but she said, "Sir, I'll hold the candle and help you light it, otherwise you won't be able to hold the lamp and do things by yourself."

Qiao Xianyong saw her lips turned white and knew that she was unwilling to be alone. He didn't feel funny in his heart, but he didn't tell her, he just nodded slightly.

The only abnormality at the scene was the broken teacup on the ground, which was indeed thrown by Qiao Xianyong. The broken shape of the teacup also clearly showed that it did not hit the person at all, and probably did not even touch the person's clothes.

When I arrived, I could see how fast that person was moving, almost like a ghost.

From this point of view, we can only go up to the roof to see if there are any strange traces. Just as Qiao Xianyong was thinking, he saw a large group of people coming in front of him. It was noisy, but it was headed by Mrs. Wu, followed by Po Zhang and Huanxiang.

.After that, there were a dozen people dressed as servants, and some of them looked like they were people dressed in the martial arts, and they came in a miscellaneous manner, embracing Mrs. Wu and others.

Qiao Xianyong had no choice but to go up to him, bowed and said, "Mom, it's late at night, and it's really the son's fault to stir up trouble and quarrel with mother because of a trivial matter. I also told Granny Zhang not to disturb the family.

Because it’s not a big deal.”

Mrs. Wu frowned and looked at Qiao Xianyong and said, "Yong'er, there is nothing wrong with what Granny Zhang did. You also know that there is a big enemy in our family, and we don't know when and where he will appear. Therefore, this thought in my mother's mind

The string has always been tight. I have mobilized experts from all over the Central Plains to come over to protect the house in the past few days. It is really strange that a stranger can still break in!" She paused and then said, "You are not injured.
