After the caravan entered Kunlun Pass, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When resting on the way, Yuwen Chengchao called the two shopkeepers Tian Dou and said: "The team is moving too slowly. I want to report the situation at Wutuo to my father as soon as possible. I will leave people to continue to escort you back to Fengganfu City.

But I have to hurry back to the city first."

Tian and Dou knew that they had a narrow escape from seclusion this time, and they were lucky to be able to come back alive.

Shopkeeper Dou's shoulder injury has also been treated. The injury is not serious. It has improved a lot in the past two days. He cupped his hands and said: "Eldest Young Master, please go back first. I would like to thank the Eldest Young Master and all of you for being able to return safely this time."

"There are a lot of casualties when we leave the customs this time." Yuwen Cheng said: "The caravan has a list of people traveling. You two will go back and check it out. After you go back, submit a list. The casualties will be heavily compensated." He called again.

Dapeng and Geng Shao said: "You two will lead the escort to escort the caravan on its way."

The two of them said yes.

Yuwen Chengchao said to Qin Xiao again: "Wang Xiao, there are many things in Wutuo that need you to report to your father together. You have never been able to see your father. This time you go back to meet me. You have made great contributions, and my father will naturally

I won’t treat you badly.”

Qin Xiao knew that the story of Wu Tuo's transformation was of great importance, and Yuwen Chengchao would definitely report the details to the old Marquis Changyi of Ming Dynasty and take him with him. If he had any omissions, he could ask him to add them.

Shopkeeper Bai and Tang Rong took a carriage, but they also returned first with Yuwen Chengchao.

After leaving the caravan, Yuwen Chengchao and others protected the carriage and quickly headed to Fenggan Mansion.

The horse kept running along the way, and finally returned to Fenggan City. Yuwen Chengchao ordered Ning Zhifeng to ride a fast horse to the Hou Mansion to report that shopkeeper Bai had returned.

Ning Zhifeng rode ahead. When Yuwen Chengchao and his party arrived in front of the Hou Mansion, Qin Xiao saw at a glance that Uncle Meng and Young Master Yuwen Chengling were waiting in front of the Hou Mansion, with Ning Zhifeng also beside them.

"Brother!" Yu Wen Chengling had already come forward and reached out to help Yu Wen Chengchao get the reins of the horse. Yu Wen Chengchao turned over and dismounted. Uncle Meng had also come forward, with a smile on his face and cupped his hands and said: "Chengchao, this time

The trip to Wutuo was really hard."

Although Yuwen Chengchao was incompatible with Uncle Meng, he still had to work hard on his face. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "How is your uncle always?"

"I'm worried." Uncle Meng looked at the carriage: "Chengchao, I heard that Shopkeeper Bai is coming back with you this time? When the old Marquis found out, he was very happy and asked us to wait here."

His words sounded like he was showing respect for Shopkeeper Bai, but there was another meaning in it, which was that if it weren't for Shopkeeper Bai, you Yu Wen Chengchao would not be qualified enough to let me come out to greet you.

"Uncle Meng, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?" Shopkeeper Bai's voice came from the carriage: "I am outside the customs, but I often miss you."

Uncle Meng hurriedly walked towards the carriage, laughed and said: "Old man, I haven't seen you for some years. You said you miss me, which may not be true, but I have always missed you, which is not false at all." He stepped forward and lifted the car.

I opened the curtain and saw Shopkeeper Bai and Tang Rong inside. I was startled for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, I looked at Tang Rong and asked, "Jingzhai, is this... Miss Tang Rong and Tang?" Obviously she knew Shopkeeper Bai was like this.

An adopted daughter.

Shopkeeper Bai said with a smile: "That's right. Ronger, haven't you met Uncle Meng yet?"

Tang Rong quickly stood up and bowed.

"Jingzhai, you are so lucky." Uncle Meng smiled and said, "Come on, let's go see the old Marquis. The old Marquis has been thinking about you." He reached out and asked shopkeeper Bai to get out of the car.

"Uncle, shopkeeper Bai's legs were injured and he can't move." Yu Wencheng walked over and said softly.

Uncle Meng's face changed slightly and he looked at Shopkeeper Bai's legs: "Jingzhai, you...!"

"It doesn't matter." Shopkeeper Bai sighed: "But my uncle has to ask someone to help me build a wheelchair. I won't be able to ride a horse again in the future."

Uncle Meng sighed: "Jingzhai, the old Marquis doesn't know about this yet. If he knew, he must...!" He shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, I'll fight with my old bones."

Head, carry you in."

Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said, "That won't work. Don't let me crush your legs." He shouted, "Wang Xiao, come here and carry me into the house."

Qin Xiao knew that he could really think highly of himself if he could carry him on his back at this time. He immediately went over and, with the help of Tang Rong, carried Shopkeeper Bai on his back. Although his body was thin, he had plenty of strength, so he could carry Shopkeeper Bai easily.

.

The young master asked people to lead all the carriages and horses, and everyone entered the mansion. Before they entered the hall, they saw an old man in brocade clothes walking slowly out of the hall.

The old man in brocade clothes was over sixty years old and tall. Qin Xiao only took one look at him and immediately determined that the old man in front of him must be a longevity minister.

Yu Wen Chengchao is very similar to the old man in front of him in both body shape and appearance. It seems that the eldest son has really inherited the old marquis' body shape and appearance. Anyone can tell at a glance that they must be father and son.

Two people.

"Father!" Yuwen Cheng bowed and saluted. Fat Fish and Ning Zhifeng also bowed immediately, showing great respect.

Qin Xiao was carrying shopkeeper Bai on his back, so naturally he couldn't salute, but Tang Rong also saluted the old marquis.

The old Marquis was a little surprised to see Shopkeeper Bai being carried on his back, but Uncle Meng quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the Old Marquis. The Old Marquis was shocked and walked over quickly. Shopkeeper Bai was already there

He said: "Master Marquis, my subordinates cannot go down to the ground to salute. Please forgive me, Master Marquis!"

The old Marquis walked to the back, stretched out his hand to touch shopkeeper Bai's thigh, and sighed: "Jingzhai, you have been really miserable these years." Then he said to Uncle Meng: "Jiazhen, everyone has worked hard all the way, please arrange them

Let’s go eat first, Jingzhai and I can eat whatever we want here.”

Uncle Meng raised his hand and said yes, called someone over, and led Fat Fish and others down to eat.

"Chengchao, you should also stay and have some food with Jingzhai." The old Marquis glanced at Yuwen Chengchao and said calmly.

Fat Fish and Ning Zhifeng knew that the old Marquis must know what happened in Wu Tuo, so they followed the servants and retreated. Tang Rong hesitated a little. Shopkeeper Bai said with a smile: "Rong'er, you go first."

After Tang Rong also retreated, a few people entered the inner hall. Qin Xiao carefully let shopkeeper Bai sit down on the chair, and then bowed to the old marquis. Yuwen Chengchao had already introduced: "Father, this is the king."

Xiao!"

"I know you." The old Marquis said with a smile, "You are a warrior in the White Tiger Camp who lifted the Tiger Suppressing Stone."

"Master Hou is overly praised." Qin Xiao bowed and said, "It's just a fluke."

The old Marquis smiled and nodded, and said to Uncle Meng, "Jia Zhen, please take Wang Xiao down for dinner."

Uncle Meng was startled. The old Marquis seemed to not want him to participate in the next conversation, but he still said immediately: "Yes!"

The two of them came out of the inner hall. Uncle Meng winked at Qin Xiao, turned around and left. Qin Xiao followed him, passed through an arch, and entered a room along a corridor. Uncle Meng signaled that after entering,

Qin Xiao closed the door and said: "It's safe to speak here, no one will know."

Qin Xiao said: "What are your instructions, uncle?"

"What happened over there at Wutuo?" Uncle Meng got straight to the point.

Qin Xiao had just walked out of the inner hall and knew that Uncle Meng would definitely ask him alone, so he had already thought about what to say.

Immediately, he assassinated the White Wolf King for begging for good deeds, set fire to Tangren City in order to search for the White Wolf King, and even arrested Shopkeeper Bai and other merchants and tortured them.

Then he met Tang Rong again, and went to Duankong Castle to ask for help. He obtained the Blood Demon Sword from Duankong Castle, and later set up a trap with Yuwen Chengchao, and the White Wolf King personally killed Qi Fushan.

, he didn’t hide anything that could be said, but he also didn’t disclose a word of what couldn’t be said.

Uncle Meng was surprised to hear what happened to Qin Xiao, but he was still very satisfied with Qin Xiao's truthful telling.

When the White Wolf King was murdered at the banquet, Uncle Meng said in shock: "The White Wolf King is dead?"

"He died of poisoning at the banquet." Qin Xiao said: "But who is the real murderer? We don't know who the real murderer is.

There’s no way to know for sure.”

Uncle Meng stared at Qin Xiao, as if he wanted to read Qin Xiao's mind, and asked: "The murder of the White Wolf King has nothing to do with you?"

"Uncle, the eldest son knows that once the White Wolf King dies, Xiling will suffer an unprecedented crisis." Qin Xiao said seriously: "So we try our best to protect the White Wolf King and never want him to be harmed in any way."

Uncle Meng thought thoughtfully and said, "But how can people from Xiye be so brave?"

"Uncle, the real culprit may not be the Xiye people." Qin Xiao whispered: "It is very likely that the Wutuo people themselves were cruel. Brother Nalusheng used Qifushan to get involved in the White Wolf tribe, but his success failed.

He must be unwilling to do so, and it is not impossible to send someone to kill the White Wolf King. Brother Nalusheng must have an undercover agent in the White Wolf Department, and most likely, Brother Nalusheng did this behind the scenes."

Uncle Meng sneered and said: "Brother Narusheng is really courageous. If this matter is exposed and people know that he sent people to murder the White Wolf King, the other tribes in Wutuo will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and may even be blamed for it.

If it causes civil unrest, that would be a good thing."

Qin Xiao said: "Since he dares to take action, he should be confident that this matter will not involve him."

"You did a good job." Uncle Meng said with a smile: "Wang Xiao, don't worry, as long as you serve me and the young master faithfully, the young master will never treat you badly." After a pause, he asked: "But

Is there anything else I forgot to mention? Think carefully and don’t miss anything.”

Qin Xiao thought for a while and finally said: "Uncle, there is something I almost forgot to tell you. It was my negligence."

"Oh?" Uncle Meng whispered, "What's the matter?"

"Secret letter!" Qin Xiao also lowered his voice and said: "We have done a good job in protecting the White Wolf King. The White Wolf King ordered me to go to Qi Fushan's house to select treasures. I don't know much about treasures, so I asked Tang Rong to help me appraise the treasures.

In Qifushan’s study, we discovered an underground secret room.”

Uncle Meng's expression tightened: "Underground secret room? You mean you found a secret letter in the underground secret room? What secret letter?"

"I don't know what's inside." Qin Xiaodao: "Tang Rong and I were together at the time and found two secret letters from a box in the secret room. Originally, I wanted to open them to see what was inside, but

Tang Rong was at the side and persuaded me to give the secret letter to the eldest son, so it was difficult for me to open it."

"It's a pity." Uncle Meng said, "Shopkeeper Bai appreciates Chengchao very much. His adopted daughter naturally favors Chengchao. That's right, did you give the secret letter to Chengchao?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Both secret letters were given to the eldest son." He sighed: "I regretted it at that time. If there was not that woman next to me, I would hide the two secret letters and give them to you when I come back.

, I was negligent in doing things, uncle, please forgive me."

"It's not your fault." Uncle Meng comforted him: "No one would have thought that the secret letter could be found in the secret room." He raised his hand to stroke his beard, looked deeply, and whispered: "The secret letter is hidden in the underground secret room, so of course it is.

It’s no small matter.”

"Tang Rong is well-informed. He saw that the two letters were written on cloud paper, so he judged that the secret letter must be someone in the pass secretly communicating with Qifushan." Qin Xiao said in a low voice.

Uncle Meng's face changed slightly: "Cloud paper? That's not something ordinary people can use." His face was stern, he thought for a moment and said, "How did Cheng Chao react after reading the letter?"

Qin Xiaodao: "The eldest son opened the letter in front of us. Although we didn't know the content, his face was ugly at the time. I think the content in the letter must be very important, and it may be detrimental to the Yuwen family, otherwise everything will be great."

It’s impossible for the young master to react like that.”

"Is it bad for the Yuwen family?" Uncle Meng was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Is the secret letter still in Chengchao's hands?"

Qin Xiaodao: "The old prince is talking to the eldest son now. I think the eldest son should have handed over the secret letter to the old prince now. Uncle, you are the person whom the old prince trusts most. When the old prince sees it,
