Chapter 276

In fact, Shang Xia probably already judged the strength of these two people when he saw the two outside the small courtyard from a distance.

The one who was about twenty years old, his martial arts cultivation level was about the same as Hai Min's, and he was both at the Extreme Martial Realm.

The other 30-year-old warrior obviously condensed the will of martial arts, but his cultivation was not as good as that of Shang Xia, and he was only the first level of the martial arts realm.

Naturally, the two of them didn't know that the details of their own cultivation had already been seen through, but they still looked up and down at Shang Xia who was approaching with a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

Shang Xia didn't care about the eyes of the two of them, just looked at Haimin with a smile and said, "My mother's family is here, and you don't want to introduce me?"

Hai Min's face turned red when he heard this, but he still said softly, "This is Uncle Cen, and this is Brother Huang Jiu."

Shang Xia smiled and raised the grouse in his hands, looked at the two of them and said, "It turned out to be Uncle Wu and Brother Ninth. It's rare that the two of you came here, and happened to hunt game, why don't you stay for dinner!"

Uncle Cen, who was a little older, said with a smile: "There is no need for dinner, Thirteenth Sister likes peace, since she is willing to stay here, please treat her kindly!"

Shang Xia smiled and said, "Of course!"

Uncle Cen nodded, then looked at Brother Huang Jiu beside him and said, "Let's go!"

Brother Huang Jiu heard the words of Fifth Uncle Cen with an expression of indignation on his face, and now he heard Fifth Uncle Cen telling him to leave, and when he walked up to Shang Xia, he said in a low voice: "If you can't take good care of their mother and daughter, hehe... ..."

"Old Nine!"

Uncle Cen's voice came from the front, and there was no doubt that there was a little more in the deep voice: "Follow up!"

Brother Huang Jiu gave Shang Xia a hard look, then turned his head and chased in the direction that Fifth Uncle Cen left.

From the beginning to the end, Shang Xia had a smile on his face, as if he welcomed the two of them as guests at home.

At this time, Uncle Cen's voice came again: "If you have any difficulties, you can come to everyone for help, you know how to find everyone!"

Shang Xia's eyes swept across Hai Min's body, and noticed the slightly complicated look on her face.

Watching the figures of the two disappear into the corner of the street, Shang Xia turned his head and said with a smile: "Go back, it's getting late!"

Haimin let out an "oh", and stepped aside uncomfortably to open the blocked door.

It so happened that Hai Yuanyuan rushed over from the small courtyard at this moment, and jumped up happily when she saw Shang Xia, pointing to the cloth tiger under his armpit and said, "I want that, I want that!"

Shang Xia handed the cloth tiger to the little girl with a smile, and handed the two silver dollars in his pocket to Haimin, and said with a little satisfaction: "Hey, I killed a roe deer today and exchanged it for two silver dollars." !"

Haimin hesitated for a while whether to take the silver dollar from him, and Shang Xia smiled expectantly, she finally reached out to take the silver dollar, and said with a smile: "These money is enough for a long time, you don't have to spend it every day It's too dangerous to go into the mountain, and the mountain is blocked by heavy snow!"

Shang Xia took off the longbow slung on his shoulder in a showy manner, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, with this bow here, you won't be afraid even if you meet a big bug!"

Hai Min was amused by his deliberate showing off like a treasure, and couldn't help saying: "See if you can do it!"

After finishing speaking, she suddenly realized that this sentence was more like a language used between husband and wife, and her face became a little hot for a while, and she didn't dare to look at Shang Xia with her eyes.

Shang Xia didn't seem to notice the change in her expression, and went straight to the courtyard, saying: "You boil a pot of hot water, and I'll fix this grouse, so I can eat chicken at night."

Saying that, Shang Xia had come to the middle of the small courtyard, took out another oil-paper bag from his bosom, and waved it in front of Hai Yuanyuan who was playing with the cloth tiger, "Good girl, let's see what this is?"

"Sesame candy!"

Hai Yuanyuan's big eyes lit up immediately, she quickly grabbed the paper bag, took out one and stuffed it into her mouth, her original big eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons: "Thank you uncle!"

Saying that, the little girl took another one from the paper bag and handed it to Shang Xia, saying, "Uncle eats too!"

As soon as Shang Xia took it, the little girl had already run from him to Hai Min, handed her another sesame candy and said, "Mother, you can eat the candy that uncle bought for me!"

…………

On the eaves not far from the small courtyard, Uncle Cen and Brother Huang Jiu, who had already left, unexpectedly appeared here at some point, and they were looking at Hai Yuanyuan, who was playing happily in the small courtyard, with a silver bell-like expression. Even though the laughter was tens of feet away from the two of them, they could still be heard clearly.

"Let's go!"

After a vague sigh, the two of them had disappeared from the eaves.

However, what the two of them didn't know was that not long after they left, in the corner of the small courtyard, Shang Xia, who had just bled the grouse and was about to water the grouse, inadvertently looked towards the slanted corner of the small courtyard. Taking a glance from above, he handed the most beautiful feather plucked from the grouse to Hai Yuanyuan to play with.

On the way back to the inn, Uncle Cen suddenly asked, "Can you give Shisan that kind of life? Are you willing to live that kind of life?"

Brother Huang Jiu's face turned blue and red, and he couldn't help but said: "We are..., come and go without a trace, wanton and high-spirited, that is our life."

Fifth Uncle Cen sighed, and said, "That is the life we ​​live, but it may not be the life that everyone wants and hopes for!"

Brother Huang Jiu was stunned, and looked at the people around him with suspicious eyes: "Uncle Wu?"

Fifth Uncle Cen waved his hand, his expression seemed rather lonely: "Let's go, go meet up with the others first, we'll find a way to rescue the third child now!"

Brother Huang Jiu said unwillingly: "Even so, can she still refuse to save her? That's her..."

Fifth Uncle Cen took out a corner of something from his cuff, and said, "Do you know why I asked for this quiet cloak from her?"

Before Brother Huang Jiu could answer, Fifth Uncle Cen continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Shisan's original plan was to use this cloak to save people."

Brother Huang Jiu was stunned, and lost his voice: "Isn't that courting death? She is only at the extreme level of martial arts, how can she save someone from Yang Hu?"

After all, Huang Jiu saw Uncle Cen's sighing expression, and his expression changed: "You want to take the cloak from her just to prevent her from taking risks? But she would rather save people by herself than trust her own brother?"

Uncle Cen sighed after finishing speaking, but said nothing.

The two walked silently on the street back to the inn. After a while, Brother Huang Jiu said, "Uncle Wu, is there anyone among us who is unwilling to save the third child?"

"more than!"

Uncle Cen uttered a word that made Brother Huang a little surprised.

"Uncle Wu, what does more than mean?"

Brother Huang Jiu faintly had some bad guesses.

Uncle Cen was silent for a moment, until Brother Huang Jiu couldn't bear it and was about to speak again, he said: "Yang Hu is actually recruiting us secretly, this time the third child was detained in Changfeng City, it may be a bureau, and the third child is just a bait

! "

Brother Huang Jiu's expression changed, and he said, "So, Thirteenth Sister doesn't trust her own people? Does she suspect that the third child's detention was framed by her own people?"

Fifth Uncle Cen didn't raise his head and said, "Only we know about the third son's going north."

Brother Huang Jiu retorted: "That's not necessarily us. Changfeng City is Yang Hu's territory, and he has deep roots here. Couldn't the third one be the one who exposed his whereabouts and was captured by Yang Hu?"

Uncle Cen shook his head slightly, unwilling to argue with Brother Huang Jiu on this issue.

Brother Huang Jiu thought of something at this time, and suddenly said: "Uncle Wu, I heard that there are actually people behind our eighteen riders, why don't you let those people come forward?"

Uncle Cen's face changed after hearing the words, and it took a long time before he said with a complicated expression: "They seem to be too busy to take care of themselves, otherwise, what is Yang Hu? I know the reason for this."

Brother Huang Jiu suddenly said: "That's why Thirteenth Sister suspects that someone among her people has secretly colluded with Changfeng City?"

Uncle Cen glanced at him, and said: "Eighteen riders have roamed Jizhou for many years, if they lost their backing, they would be besieged and killed by the Jizhou family in no time!"

Brother Huang Jiu sneered: "Even if we are abandoned, can Yang Hu and his Changfeng City protect us? Does he have this ability?"

Fifth Uncle Cen was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "At least, he is from Youzhou!"

Brother Huang Jiu was startled when he heard the words, as if he suddenly understood something.

Although he grew up in Jizhou since he was a child, his father and grandparents seem to have escaped from Youzhou decades ago.

Tongyou City Shangfu

More than a month ago, Duan Hong, a craftsman enshrined by the Shang family, finally forged a low-grade sharp weapon.

After the merchant has its own master craftsman, the background gap between the merchant and the other three major families in Tongyou City has been further smoothed out.

However, after the successful forging of this sharp spear, Shang Xia, who should have belonged to it, disappeared after being attacked in the Qianye Mountains.

For more than a month, although the merchants have not given up searching, because there has been no news, and now the attention of the entire merchant, and even the entire Tongyou City, has been focused on the return of the Coral Lin Xuanjie. He became less concerned about the strength of Shang Xia's search.

Up to now, only Yan Qi is left to handle this matter.

Although Shang Xi asked him to report the results of the search to her every day, in fact Shang Xi himself is too busy now, and Yan Qi can only report to her every day when the search is fruitless. It just adds to the troubles.

Somewhat unexpected to Yan Qi, but Shang Jian would come to ask a few words every few days, and sometimes discuss with him where Shang Xia might be hiding, and occasionally make some suggestions.

Whether these suggestions are reliable is another matter, Yan Qi can feel that Shang Xia, the second uncle, cares about Shang Xia from the bottom of his heart.

On the contrary, this made Yan Qi look at this person with admiration, at least he was much more pleasing to the eye than Shang Xia's Uncle Jiu who had been coveting the low-grade sharp weapon long spear.

However, in the evening of this day, Yan Qi suddenly discovered that Yan Nier and her four little birds, who used to return home at a fixed time in the past, did not return until dusk fell.

Just when Yan Qi's heart was dark and she was about to report the matter to Shang Xi, a silver lightning flashed across the sky above the Shang Mansion, and Yan Nier came back!
