C84 The Person Who Disappeared
After saying that, Shangguan Yun left with his men.
When the Shangguans left, the Xiahous immediately calmed down. The manor was divided into two groups. It was as if there was a layer of dark clouds above everyone's heads.
Each and every one of them had a serious expression on their faces, and they felt an indescribable pressure.
No one knew who had spread the news, but soon, everyone in Huaiyang City was in a panic. The Shangguan Clan was going to attack the city? Everyone knew that Shangguan Family had taken down Iron Fist City, and now that they were coming to Huaiyang City, the army of Huaiyang City was facing the Nangong Family at the border, and there was no way they could return to their aid.
Lost city or lost land?
This topic became very sensitive. The lost land would become a small place in the future, and it would be isolated and restricted by others. If they lost the city, then the Huaiyang City would disappear from the Xuzhou.
"I wonder if the Xiahou Family can withstand the arrival of the Shangguan Family's army."
"Hang on!"
" Then let's hurry up and leave this place! "
In the restaurants, teahouses, and brothels, many people were discussing what they should do in the future. Leaving the Huaiyang City was equivalent to leaving their homes. After all these years of hard work, they had to give up and come back again. Many of them revealed unwilling expressions.
The Xiahou family was very depressed, but Xiao Chen was the only one who was very calm.
Xiao Chen seemed to not care about the army that was pressing down on the border and the fact that no one was left alive. His face was still full of smiles. From time to time, he would joke with Xiao Fuyao, and he had a very comfortable life in the Xiahou family.
However, when some people in the mansion saw Xiao Chen's gaze, it was obvious that there was a change.
His eyes were filled with hatred, accumulated hatred, and hatred. He felt that Xiao Chen was an unpardonable person, and Xiao Chen had let go of his indelible sins. Xiao Chen was the source of all these disasters.
Xiao Chen had brought disaster to Huaiyang City.
However, Xiao Chen didn't take these gazes to heart.
"Patriarch, I suggest we send Xiao Chen out!"
"Elder is right. Xiao Chen admitted that killing Shangguan Ao was his intention. Now that he injured Shangguan Yue, all the source of the disaster is Xiao Chen. We can send Xiao Chen out to seek reconciliation."
"This is the only way to protect Huaiyang City."
In the meeting hall of the Xiahou Family, everyone was discussing how to get through this crisis.
After thinking about it, most of them felt that handing over Xiao Chen was the only way to quell the anger of the Shangguan family.
"Xiao Chen, quickly leave! The elders have decided to hand you over!"
Xiao Chen and Xiao Fuyao were playing in the yard when Xiahou Lan suddenly ran into the yard in a panic. Her face was full of anxiety. When she saw Xiao Chen, she immediately asked Xiao Chen to leave.
"Why don't you agree?" Xiao Chen asked Xiahou Lan.
"This matter will not be settled because I hand you over. Furthermore, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Xiahou Lan said seriously.
"I will not leave! No one in your Xiahou Family can touch me!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand. Clearly, he did not intend to leave like this. It was as if he was saying that since someone wanted to capture me, he should let them capture me. I will wait here.
Sure enough, not long after, a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.
These people were basically the elders and commanders of the Xiahou Family. They gathered in one place, "Charge in later and subdue Xiao Chen. As for the little girl and old servant, kill them immediately!"
"Understood!"
Everyone was discussing outside. The door of the courtyard suddenly opened. Xiahou Lan stood at the door. "What are you guys trying to do?"
"Eldest Miss knows the answer but asks the answer. Xiao Chen is the source of this disaster. We want to hand Xiao Chen over!" A man stood out and looked like he was helping the country and the people.
"You are all famous figures in Xuzhou. How dare you do such a despicable thing?" Xiahou Lan heard the words of the crowd and a flame started burning in her chest.
"Let them in!"
Xiahou Lan stopped everyone and Xiao Chen sent a message. Xiahou Lan stepped aside and everyone rushed into the courtyard like a tide.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and Xiahou Lan pushed him out and closed the door.
"Xiao Chen, you can't escape today!"
"That's right! It's because of you that we have a bad relationship with the Shangguan family!"
Xiahou Lan stood at the door, listening to the noise inside. Everyone had their own opinions, and they wished they could skin Xiao Chen alive and tear him into pieces.
After a while, the sound in the courtyard suddenly stopped.
There was no movement, as if all of this had never happened. The silence was a little scary. Xiahou Lan curiously pushed the door open and entered. It was a shocking scene. There was no one in the courtyard.
None of the elders who filled the courtyard were present. There was no trace of them.
Xiahou Lan even rubbed her eyes a few times. She thought she had seen wrongly, but in the end, there was no one. Xiao Chen was still playing with Xiao Fuyao, but old servant, who was beside Xiao Chen, also disappeared along with him.
Xiahou Lan carefully walked in, feeling like she was walking on thin ice with every step she took.
She had never thought that her yard would be so strange and terrifying. At this moment, Xiahou Lan actually began to fear her yard.
"Big sister!"
Xiao Fuyao saw Xiahou Lan and revealed a sweet smile.
Xiahou Lan looked at Xiao Chen and finally looked into Xiao Fuyao's eyes. She tried hard to keep her calm. Otherwise, she would have a trace of strangeness and squeezed out a smile. But Xiahou Lan found that her hands were already unconsciously trembling.
She suddenly realized that Xiao Chen was like a bottomless pit. It was so deep that one could not see the bottom. Behind this man seemed to be boundless darkness.
"Young master! Where are they?"
Xiahou Lan asked in the end.
"Kill them!" Xiao Chen said it very casually and casually. It felt like this was a very ordinary thing. There was not a single change in his eyes.
Xiahou Lan looked at Xiao Chen. How many people had her gaze become so clear after killing so many people? Killing people seemed to be a joke in Xiao Chen's eyes.
Moreover, they were the elites of Huaiyang City. Powerful warriors were the pillars of Huaiyang City. How could they be killed so easily?
"Then what about that?"
Xiahou Lan did not ask where the corpse was.
"This is your yard. It is inappropriate to leave the corpse here after killing someone. So I moved them out of the city and killed them!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Xiahou Lan's face turned pale.
"Miss is in trouble! Corpses are everywhere outside the city. They are all elders of the Xiahou Family or commanders of the army. Master has rushed over and suspects that it is the revenge of the Shangguan Family!"
While Xiahou Lan was in shock, the butler walked over. He had completely hammered Xiao Chen's words.
Xiahou Lan bowed lightly to Xiao Chen and quickly left. When they arrived at the city gate, there were already countless people gathered outside the city. Many people were discussing.
"It seems like the Shangguan family has made their move."
"So cruel?"
" The ones who died were all the experts of Huaiyang City. It seems like this battle is going to be dangerous for Huaiyang City! "
Everyone was in a panic. Xiahou Lan passed through the crowd and asked, "Father?"
Xiahou Xi raised his hand to signal Xiahou Lan not to speak. Xiahou Lan nodded and did not say anything. Her gaze swept over and finally landed on a person. old servant was standing next to Xiao Chen. old servant was very inconspicuous in the crowd, but Xiahou Lan still recognized him at a glance.
old servant also felt Xiahou Lan's gaze. He looked at Xiahou Lan and then turned around and disappeared.
"At least Expert of Dao Ancestor!"
When old servant left, Xiahou Xi muttered something in a very low voice. Xiahou Lan heard it clearly. At least it was Expert of Dao Ancestor. What kind of existence was this?
That old servant?
Xiahou Lan was shocked, stunned, and a little in disbelief.
"These people just died. They were brought here alive and then killed in an instant. No one could react!" Xiahou Xi slowly closed his eyes. It was as if he was imagining what had happened at that moment.
Only the Dao Ancestor could do such a thing.
"Who are they?" Xiahou Lan asked her father. Xiao Chen, the little girl, and old servant suddenly looked like a fog.
"In short, they are existences that cannot be provoked!" Xiahou Xi looked at the corpse in front of him. "But this is also good. These people are basically no longer members of our Xiahou family."
Xiahou Xi said coldly.
This was also why Xiahou Xi didn't stop them when they wanted to hand over Xiao Chen. On one hand, he was trying to test whether Xiao Chen was worthy of him betting everything on Xiao Chen. On the other hand, he wanted these spies to jump out on their own and eliminate them with Xiao Chen's help.
If he attacked, he would inevitably lose his tongue.
"Let's go back!"
When they returned to the Xiahou Family, Xiahou Lan's first task was to look for Xiao Chen.
"Where's the young master?"
"Young master went to the back mountain!"
After Xiahou Lan left, Xiao Chen brought Xiao Fuyao and Xiao Fuyao to the back of the mountain. The back of the mountain? Xiahou Lan frowned slightly. Was there anything strange in the back of the mountain?
The back mountain of Huaiyang City was the most ordinary mountain. There were neither demon beasts nor precious herbs in it.
"Let's go to the back mountain!"
Xiahou Xi suddenly said.
In the back of the mountain, Xiao Chen found a place to sit down. Very quickly, old servant appeared beside Xiao Chen. "Young master's matters have been settled. Xiahou Xi is rushing over."
"Xiahou Xi is a smart person." Xiao Chen said.
When everyone was trying to catch him at the entrance of the courtyard, Xiao Chen had already guessed Xiahou Xi's intention. Xiahou Xi wanted to use him to get rid of these spies.
"Since young master knows about it, why would he help?"
old servant did not understand. Xiao Chen actually knew that Xiahou Xi was using him, so why did he need to help?1
"I have to return what I owe you. I guess this is a way to return the favor." He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He owed Xiahou Xi a favor, but in the end, he had to pay it back. He was in such a tough situation.
Although old servant was confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
He knew what he should ask and what he should not ask.
"It's here!"
old servant looked at the foot of the mountain and said. Soon, the sound of footsteps approached. Xiahou Xi brought Xiahou Lan with him. There were also many elders of the Xiahou Family and their people who came to Xiao Chen's side.
"You're here?"
"They're here!" Xiahou Xi nodded. "Please save Huaiyang City, young master!" Xiahou Xi immediately went forward and bowed. The people behind him also bowed.
Xiao Chen waved his hand. "No need. If I was captured now, would you still bow to me like this?"
Xiahou Xi revealed an awkward smile. He did not expect Xiao Chen to know what he was thinking. Xiao Chen smiled when he saw Xiahou Xi's face. Alright. You don't have to feel embarrassed. Since I have made my move, Huaiyang City will be fine."
"Thank you, young master!"
Xiahou Xi took a deep breath. He felt as if the stone on his chest had fallen to the ground. He suddenly felt enlightened.
"Come with me!"
Xiao Chen stood up and walked up the mountain. Xiahou Lan immediately followed and supported Xiao Chen. "Young Master, let me help you!"
"You are as cunning as your father!" There was no anger in his words. Xiahou Lan could tell that Xiao Chen had forgiven the Xiahou family.
