Chapter 551: No violence   "Master, let your subordinates come!"   Mo Yi said, and was about to kick the door, but was pulled back by Tang Xi.   "It's the middle of the night, do you want to wake everyone up?"   "Then what should I do?" Mo Yi frowned.   "Of course I open the door." Tang Xi rolled her eyes at him, "Does the door have to be opened with violence?"   She stepped forward and just pushed the door open, a handful of ashes suddenly fell over .   Xie Cheng was the first to react, and pulled her to the side to avoid the ashes.   Mo Yi was a bit miserable, because he couldn't dodge in time, and was splashed by the ashes.   "Puff - 呸呸 -"   He wiped his face randomly with his hands, "What is this? Why does it smell weird?"   Xie Cheng threw him a small bottle and said in a light voice: "Two."   "What?"   Mo Yi felt an itch on his face before he could   react. He realized belatedly that the master was giving him the antidote.   Xie Cheng was outside the door now, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Deputy General Yao's connections were so wide that even the people from the Poison Sect were involved."   He had only heard Hua Xuan say that King Anyang was involved with the people from the Poison Sect, but he didn't expect that Deputy General Yao was also involved.   Deputy General Yao was already unconscious at this moment. The Left Protector gritted his teeth and clenched his fists unconsciously.   "Left Protector, what should we do?" The woman in black asked in a low voice.   The person opposite was Xie Cheng, who was Lou Zhan's student, and his use of poison must be no worse than theirs.   "Left Protector, are you still unwilling to come out?"   As soon as Tang Xi finished speaking, Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.   The Left Protector and the woman in black inside were stunned unconsciously.   They were masked, how did Tang Xi recognize them?   Tang Xi smiled and said: "Just now, when you were talking, I was behind you."   When she chased after people, she heard the woman in black calling out Left Protector.   Combined with the conversation between Lu Yue and the King of Anyang that Shaoyao heard in the Anyang Palace, and the woman's shouting of the Left Protector, Tang Xi roughly guessed who came to save Yao Su.   The Left Protector thought about it, and finally handed Yao Su to the woman in black, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I will lead them away in a while, you take him away quickly."   Everything she did was for Yao Su. If he got into trouble today, she would never live alone.   "But, Left Protector, I'm afraid that City Lord Xie will be difficult to deal with!"   The black-clothed woman felt that the most difficult one among the three people should be Xie Cheng.   "I can handle it, you leave quickly in a while."   The Left Protector said, flashed out of the door, and then jumped out from the three people.   Tang Xi smiled faintly, "Acheng, the two inside will be handed over to you and Moyi."   Xie Cheng reminded: "The Left Protector is cunning, you must be careful."   "Okay."   After she responded, she flashed and chased after him.   The woman in black thought that the left protector could lead the people away, but only one person left, and there were still two people guarding the door.   After Mo Yi swallowed the antidote, the itching disappeared, but there was still a faint red mark on his face.   He took out a fire starter and blew it a few times, then walked into the house.   The woman in black dragged Yao Su to the side.   Xie Cheng stared at the corner where they were with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Hand over Yao Su, and I can consider sparing your life." The   woman in black paused, and she knew in her heart that Xie Cheng must have discovered them.   She pondered for a moment, then stood up, looked at Xie Cheng and said: "If I give Yao Su to you, will you forget me?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 552: The Poison is Not Strong Enough   Tang Xi chased the Left Guardian out of the yard, and soon, she had intercepted him.   "Where is the Left Guardian going?" she asked in a calm voice.   "You?" The Left Guardian glared at her fiercely, and said in a cold voice: "Why are you stopping me?"   She didn't expect Tang Xi's Qinggong to be so amazing.   "What for?" Tang Xi smiled lightly, "Of course, I want to invite you to go back to Hanshui City with me."   "Just you?" The Left Guardian was disdainful.   Good Qinggong does not mean that martial arts must be strong. She didn't believe that with her own martial arts of more than ten or twenty years, she couldn't be as good as a little girl.   With a flick of her hand, a cloud of powder instantly scattered. Tang Xi waved her hand lightly and said in a calm voice: "Left Guardian, your poison seems to be not as strong as Boss Lin's."   The Left Guardian knew who Boss Lin was.   In the entire Poison Sect, only Lin Yuetong had the surname Lin.   She snorted coldly, "It's not strong enough, but it's more than enough to deal with you."   This poison was newly made by her, and the antidote had not been made in time.   Therefore, Tang Xi was poisoned, and even if Xie Cheng was there, he could not cure the poison in a short time.   This poison is similar to Ruanjinsan, but it is stronger than Ruanjinsan.   Therefore, those who are poisoned by this poison will not be fatal, but will feel sore all over and unable to move.   As long as Tang Xi is captured, is she still afraid that she can't deal with Xie Cheng?   "Really?" Tang Xi smiled faintly, "But I think this poison has no effect on me."   "Useless?"   The left protector frowned, "It's impossible. Within half a quarter of an hour, your hands and feet will be paralyzed and unable to move."   "Really?" Tang Xi smiled, "Before this, it was enough for me to capture you."   The left protector sneered when he heard this. Just now, she didn't dare to take action because she brought Yao Su with her. Now, she is alone, she will not run away again!   She pulled out a long whip from her waist and quickly attacked Tang Xi.   Tang Xi stepped back a few steps and dodged the first whip. She turned around again and wanted to wrap Tang Xi up, but unfortunately, Tang Xi's body was more flexible than she thought.   Whip after whip missed, the left protector could not help but get anxious, and the whipping action became messy because of his exasperation.   Tang Xi dodged and hid behind her, grabbed her whip-holding hand, and then squeezed it hard.   Her hand softened, and the long whip in her hand instantly fell to the ground.   At the same time, Tang Xi kicked him in the foot, and the left protector staggered and knelt directly on the ground.   Tang Xi slapped her on the back of the neck, and she suddenly stopped struggling, and the whole person lay limply on the ground.   Tang Xi sighed lightly, "This fighting ability is too poor."   Such a person can become a protector, the threshold of the Poison Sect's protector is too low.   She bent down and picked up the long whip on the ground, tied the man up, and then dragged him back.   ————   On Xie Cheng's side, the woman in black handed Yao Su to Mo Yi, and then turned and left.   Xie Cheng asked Mo Yi to carry Yao Su, and then left the yard and waited for Tang Xi in the alley.   After a while, the two saw someone in the darkness, dragging something towards them.   Xie Cheng stepped forward to confirm, and after seeing that it was Tang Xi, he hurriedly took over the task of dragging the left protector.   "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.   "Nothing!" Tang Xi shook his head slightly, "Now that we have the person, what should we do next?"   Xie Cheng whispered, "Go back to the city first."   "Go back to the city?" Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "You mean back to Dark Night City?"   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded.   Mo Yi said in embarrassment: "But, our car is still over there."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 553 A Quiet Courtyard   Xie Cheng handed the token that Yao Su had given him as a gift from King Sangyu to Mo Yi, and said calmly, "Take this, no one will stop you."   Those inside were all real soldiers who would only follow orders. With King Sangyu's token, no one dared to stop Mo Yi.   "Yes!"   After Mo Yi took the thing, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness. After   about a quarter of an hour, the sound of wheels rolling came from the alley.   After a while, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the two.   Xie Cheng threw Yao Su and the left protector into the carriage, and then he and Tang Xi got on.   The carriage drove out of the town and arrived at the city gate at the hour of Yin.   At this moment, even the soldiers guarding the gate were dozing off, and they woke up when they heard the sound of wheels approaching.   "Who is it?"   Dark Night City has a curfew, and ordinary people cannot enter the city at this time.   Xie Cheng stretched out his hand through the curtain and handed over his token.   The leader of the soldiers took it, and when he saw the word "Xie" on it, he was stunned.   "So it's City Lord Xie, sorry for the inconvenience!"   He said, returning the token and making a gesture of invitation.   The carriage slowly entered the city, but did not stop at any inn, but drove into a small road.   Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a secluded courtyard.   Mo Yi got off the carriage and knocked on the door a few times.   The door was soon pushed open, and an old man with a hunched back came out with a lantern.   "Who are you?"   The old man approached Mo Yi with a lantern, looked at him in confusion and asked.   "Uncle Huang, it's me!" Moyi smiled, "I'm Moyi."   "Moyi?" The old man seemed to not react at first, and after a while he widened his eyes and said, "You are the little kid Moyi who follows Master Xie?"   Moyi smiled and nodded, "It's me!"   "Why are you here?" The old man said, "Where is Master Xie?"   The curtain was lifted, and Xie Cheng and Tang Xi got off the carriage. He stepped forward and said with a faint smile, "Uncle Huang, I'm here."   "Are you Master Xie?!" Uncle Huang moved the lantern closer to him, and when he saw his face, he nodded, "Yes, it looks very much like the lady when she was young."   Xie Cheng said, "I have something to do today, so I have to stay here for two days. I'm sorry to disturb you!"   "What do you mean by disturbing or not." Uncle Huang smiled, "This house is not mine, this is your house. It's only natural for you to come back and live here."   This courtyard was bought by Xie Lin in the past, so that he would have a place to stay when he came to Dark Night City.   However, after Xie Lin passed away, Xie Cheng never came again.   Uncle Huang was only in his fifties back then, but now he has a head full of white hair.   "I, an old man, have been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the people from your Xie Mansion can come here again." Uncle Huang sighed softly, "Now I am old and can't take care of it anymore. I was thinking that I would go to the Chen Mansion to find City Lord Chen in a while and ask him to help pass a message to the people in the Xie Mansion. Unexpectedly, you are here!"   Mo Yi drove the carriage in first, and Tang Xi and Xie Cheng followed Uncle Huang behind him.   Along the way, Uncle Huang kept muttering, mostly talking about what happened in the past.   After entering the house, Uncle Huang hung the lantern aside and motioned for the two to sit down. Then he sighed softly and said, "I, an old man, am too old to sweep this yard. City Lord Chen always asks people to clean it."   Xie Cheng's body stiffened when he heard this, and it took a long time before he raised his eyes and asked, "You mean, Chen Luo asked people to clean this place?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 554 I've thought about it   "Yeah!" Huang Bo smiled and said, "He came once during the hour of Hai."   "He came again?" Xie Cheng was surprised.   "Isn't it?" Huang Bo said, "He comes often, sometimes sitting in the yard for a whole day."   Xie Cheng fell silent after hearing   this. Chen Luo naturally knew about this yard. When he was young, Chen Jiang and Yan Shi often brought him here as a guest.   At that time, it should have been their happiest time.   "What's wrong?"   Huang Bo saw that his expression was not right and asked in confusion.   Seeing that Xie Cheng did not answer, Huang Bo turned his puzzled eyes to Tang Xi.   Tang Xi smiled faintly and did not answer.   After all, she didn't know much about Xie Cheng and Chen Luo.   Huang Bo pondered for a long time before he vaguely remembered what happened that year.   So many years have passed, he has also grown old, and with Chen Luo's frequent visits, he almost forgot the grudge between the Xie Mansion and the Chen Mansion.   He stood up and said, "You guys chat first, the old man will make you some tea."   "No need." Xie Cheng said, "It's past the fourth watch, you should go back and catch up on your sleep."   "How can that be?" Huang Bo shook his head, "You came all the way here, and you didn't even have a sip of water, that won't do."   Tang Xi stood up and said, "How about this, you tell me where the kitchen is, and I'll go make it."   She felt that Xie Cheng should be quiet now.   "Okay."   Huang Bo glanced at Xie Cheng, sighed, and then went out with Tang Xi. When she   came back again, Tang Xi was alone.   When she came in with tea, Mo Yi was standing next to Xie Cheng. "Have all the people been settled?" She put down the tea, looked up and asked Mo Yi.   

Mo Yi nodded, "They have been settled."   

Tang Xi looked at Xie Cheng, but saw that he was also looking at her, so she smiled at him.   Seeing this, Mo Yi retreated wisely.  

 Xie Cheng pulled her over and let her sit in his arms. He rested his chin against her head and said, "I want to go to Chen's house tomorrow. You can go with me."  

 Tang Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Have you thought about it?"  

 "Yeah." He replied in a low voice, "Let the old generation's affairs pass."  

 He had kept it from him for so long, and it was time to tell him.  

 If Chen Luo still hated him, it would be fine, but it seemed that he could not forget the fact that he assassinated Chen Jiang.  

 Back then, he did not intend to assassinate Chen Jiang in front of Chen Luo, but when he assassinated Chen Jiang, Chen Luo happened to push the door in.  

 He even thought at the time that if it was a little earlier or later, perhaps Chen Luo would not see that scene.  

 He would not know who killed Chen Jiang.

  However, he was eager to take revenge that year, and he had long forgotten to consider whether Chen Luo would see that scene.  

 Since hiding it would make both of them unhappy, it would be better to open up and say it. He has always wanted to know the answer, so he will tell him everything.

  As for the promise to Aunt Yan... just regard it as a breach of trust.

  "I'm glad you figured it out!" Tang Xi leaned in his arms and said softly, "The truth will   come out sooner or later. Even if you don't tell him, he will know it one day." They still care about each other, but they have to get along as enemies. This is too much torture for the two of them.

"I originally thought that I could keep it a secret for a day. After all, I promised Aunt Yan." He sneered in a low voice, "I think it's good that I didn't tell him at the first time."  

 If he had said it at that time, Chen Luo would definitely not believe it.  

 (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 555 Encountering a Scoundrel   When the first cock crowed, Tang Xi also woke up.   The sky outside the house was covered with dark clouds, gray and hazy, as if a heavy rain was coming.   After Tang Xi washed up, she sat quietly in the yard.   When Huang Bo opened the door and saw that it was her, he was not only a little surprised.   "It's only the morning of the following morning, why don't you sleep a little longer, little girl?"   Tang Xi smiled faintly, "I couldn't sleep and was too lazy to lie down, so I got up and sat for a   while. Why did you get up too?" "Didn't I see you were coming, so I got up and went to the street to buy some things?" Uncle Huang smiled and said, "The old man is old, my hands and feet are not nimble, and I can't make ready-made things. Usually, my son and daughter-in-law bring me food."   "No need to be so troublesome." Tang Xi said, "We have hands and feet, and we can find food by ourselves when we are hungry. How can we let you go to buy food for us young people in the dark?"   Uncle Huang smiled and said, "It's not far, we can get there in a few steps."   Tang Xi stood up and said with a smile, "You should go back and rest, I'll go buy it."   "How can that be?" Uncle Huang shook his head, "This road is too remote, and there are often scoundrels walking around outside. It's not safe for a little girl like you to go, I'd better go as an old man." As   he said that, he put on his straw hat, leaned on his crutches and hunched over, and was about to leave.   Tang Xi smiled, "Then I'll go with you."   "If you want to go, remember to bring an umbrella, otherwise, it will rain soon." Huang Bo said, "It often rains in the winter in Dark Night City."   Tang Xi nodded, "Then wait for me, I'll get an umbrella and come back."   Huang Bo nodded, "Go ahead."   After Tang Xi returned to the house, he took an umbrella from the space, put on his cloak, and then walked out.   The yard was quiet, and Tang Xi helped Huang Bo out of the small yard.   When Tang Xi came, he was sitting in a carriage, so he didn't know the way, so he had to rely on Huang Bo to lead the way.   This path is a bit long, and there are not many houses nearby.   "When you go out, don't you feel tired walking such a long way alone?"   Because he was bored, Tang Xi asked Huang Bo casually.   Huang Bo said, "No, I don't feel that it's far for a road I often walk."   Tang Xi smiled and looked up to the east. The sky had begun to brighten, but it was still gray.   Seeing that the exit to the street was about to arrive, a person suddenly walked out from the side.   "Tsk, old man, is this your granddaughter?"   The man who came was a man in his twenties with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, his eyes lingering on Tang Xi.   Huang Bo subconsciously protected Tang Xi behind him, glared at the man and said, "It's you again, what do you want to do?"   "What do you want to do?" The man spat out the branch in his mouth, smiled obscenely, and said, "I'm a little tight on money recently, old man, your granddaughter is so delicate and tender, she should be worth a lot of money, right?"   Huang Bo sneered, "Do you really think Dark Night City is helpless?"   "Who cares if Dark Night City is helpless? Anyway, I'm short of money." He rubbed his hands and his eyes wandered back and forth on Tang Xi.   "Old man, either give me a hundred taels, or I will sell your granddaughter to a brothel. It's up to you to decide."   Huang Bo was furious. "A hundred taels? Are you dreaming? Where can I get so much money?"   "Who are you trying to fool?" The man didn't believe it. "How can he not have money if he lives in a big yard?"   He had been eyeing this old man for a long time, but he rarely went out. Every time he went out, someone followed him, which made him have no idea where to start.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 556 If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place?   Today, he had very bad luck. He had finally gotten a few dozen   taels, but he lost them all in a few bets in the gambling house. Not only that, he also owed the gambling house fifty taels. He was feeling depressed and was just about to go home. Unexpectedly, he would meet this old man here.   What made him happy was that this time, the person accompanying the old man was not the usual middle-aged couple, but a beautiful young girl.   "Want money?" Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.   "Little girl, don't say that your brother is not good. If your grandfather is willing to spend money, it's fine. If he is not willing, don't blame your brother for being cruel."   In his eyes, no beauty is more important than silver.   Tang Xi smiled lightly, she took off her purse and shook it in front of the man, "I have five thousand taels of silver notes here. If you can grab it, it will all belong to you."   "Five... five thousand taels?!" The man's eyes lit up and swallowed his saliva, "Are you serious?"   Five thousand taels, enough for him to gamble for a while.   With this money, how can those guys in the gambling house who look down on others not flatter him?   "Little girl, you..."   Huang Bo frowned, somewhat disapproving of Tang Xi's approach.   With so much money, if you change it into copper coins and throw it into the well, you can still hear a sound. What can this gambler do?   Tang Xi whispered: "Please wait aside first, I will be there soon."   Huang Bo saw her determined eyes and could only sigh and stand aside.   Tang Xi raised her eyes to look at the man, curled her lips and smiled, "The money is here, it's yours when you get it."   The man smiled happily, "That's what you said, don't cry later."   As he said, he stretched out his hand to grab it, Tang Xi took the wallet away in an instant, and the man saw that he had missed it and looked unhappy.   Tang Xi smiled lightly, "Keep grabbing."   The man snorted coldly and quickly approached her. Tang Xi did not retreat, but the moment he approached, he kicked the man to the ground with a flying kick.   Huang Bo was stunned, and the man lay on the ground, stunned at first, and then furious.   "You little bitch, you dare to attack me, I'll sell you to a brothel and let thousands of people fuck you."   Unfortunately, just as he got up, Tang Xi lifted her foot and pushed him back into the snow.   The man groaned, raised his head and was about to curse, but Tang Xi grabbed his hair and pulled it up. The man   screamed and cursed.   "You stinky bitch, I'll kill you!"   Tang Xi smiled slightly, squatted down, and pressed the man's face into the snow.   When it was almost done, she would pull him up.   "Kill me?" She smiled faintly, "Do you believe I will kill you now?"   "No, no!" Huang Bo was shocked and hurried over to persuade him, "It's better to send this kind of person to the government office. Killing him will dirty your hands."   The man didn't expect that the seemingly fragile little girl didn't even blink when she said she wanted to kill someone.   This one looks like a ruthless character, but from the old guy's address, this little girl doesn't seem to be his granddaughter.   The man shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly got up and said, "Miss, spare me, I won't dare to do it again next time, please don't send me to the government office!"   He just got out of there last year, if he goes in again, I'm afraid he will never get out in this life.   Tang Xi pulled him out of the snow and said to Huang Bo, "Huang Bo, let's go to the government office first."   "Hey!" Huang Bo looked at the terrified man and snorted coldly, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"   If he didn't come here to cause trouble, why would he suffer this punishment now?   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 557: How are you?   This place is not far from the government office. It takes about a quarter of an hour to get there.   When they arrived, the gate of the government office had just been pushed open, and the guard came out yawning.   Tang Xi carried the man forward. After seeing the man, the guard frowned instantly, "Hu Yi, why are you here again?"   Huang Bo stepped forward to explain: "He wanted to rob this girl of her money and said he would sell her to a brothel. The old man heard it with his own ears."   "What?" The guard glared, "You went to rob money again?"   "It's unfair, sir!" Hu Yi fell beside the guard and shouted, "This old guy and this young woman are in cahoots. I was walking on the path. As soon as they saw me, they said that I stole their things. Without saying a word, they beat me up and sent me here. Sir, please be clear-headed!"   "You--"   Huang Bo was so angry that he stared at him with his words that turned black into white.   Tang Xi crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile without saying a word.   Hu Yi lowered his head guiltily. The girl looked skinny and small, but she was very strong.   He had just struggled with all his strength, but he couldn't break free from her restraints. It was very scary.   Anyway, no one saw it, so they couldn't refute anything if he turned the tables on them.   Just as Hu Yi was feeling proud, a carriage with a black mandala pattern slowly stopped at the gate of the government office.   The guard glared at Hu Yi under his feet and quickly walked towards the carriage.   "Greetings, Lord Moqing!"   Hu Yi saw that everyone's attention was drawn to the carriage, his eyes rolled, and he was about to crawl away.   Tang Xi didn't even look at him, but raised his foot and pressed him to the ground.   "Woo--"   Hu Yi fell heavily to the ground with his stomach, his face turned pale, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.   Moqing didn't pay attention to this side, just nodded to the guard lightly, and lifted the curtain for Chen Luo.   Chen Luo carried Chen Ning down from the carriage, raised his eyes indifferently, and was slightly stunned when he met Tang Xi's faint smile.   Seeing his expression, Mo Qing followed his gaze and looked over in confusion.   When he saw Tang Xi, his eyes lit up instantly.   "Miss Tang, why are you here!"   "Sister Tang!" Chen Ning struggled to jump out of Chen Luo's arms.   She trotted forward, tilted her head and asked Tang Xi with a smile: "Sister Tang, why are you here?"   Huang Bo looked at this scene in surprise. He and Chen Luo saluted slightly, and then looked at Tang Xi.   But she squatted down, stroked Chen Ning's head and smiled: "Long time no see, little Ning!"   Chen Ning smiled shyly and asked her: "Sister Tang, have you seen Aunt Tong?"   He hadn't seen Aunt Tong for a long time and missed her very much.   "Her?" Tang Xi chuckled, "She went to Beisang City with her sweetheart and didn't come with me."   "Sweetheart?" Chen Ning frowned, "Sister Tang, what is a sweetheart?"   Tang Xi pondered and said, "A sweetheart is... someone you like."   "Aunt Tong has someone she likes?" Chen Ning's face fell, "Isn't her favorite person A Ning?"   Tang Xi said, "That's different!"   Chen Ning pouted, and before she could say anything, she heard her father say, "Miss Tang, how are you?"   "Everything is fine." Tang Xi smiled, stood up and looked at him and said, "How are you, City Lord Chen?"   Chen Luo smiled lightly and nodded, "Very good."   "Miss Tang, are you saying that Miss Lin has a sweetheart?" Mo Qing asked gossipingly.   "Yes." Tang Xi nodded, "It's the son of the Chu family in Lotus Town, Beisang City."

  Chapter 558 Both a sister and a friend   "Chu Tianyou?" Chen Luo asked calmly.   Tang Xi nodded, "Yeah."   Mo Qing chuckled, "Why does Miss Lin always like people younger than her?"   If he remembered correctly, Chu Tianyou was only about twenty years old this year.   Tang Xi said, "Love knows no age. Besides, being two or three years older doesn't mean anything."   Mo Qing smiled but said nothing.   Chen Luo said, "It's hard for Mr. Chu to like her."   Although he said this, he was actually quite relieved in his heart.   After all, before Ningzhu died, she asked him to help her take good care of Lin Yuetong.   Moreover, Lin Yuetong was both a sister and a friend to him. He was naturally happy that she could find a good marriage.   Hu Yi was still thinking about how to escape, but when he saw Chen Luo coming over to greet Tang Xi, he was stunned.   "What's the matter?" Chen Luo glanced at Hu Yi lying on the ground and asked calmly.   "Oh, this guy wants to rob the girl of her money, and threatens to sell her to a brothel."   "It's over!"   Hu Yi thought of the days ahead, closed his eyes, and fainted instantly.   Chen Luo said to Mo Qing: "Drag him to the jail directly."   "Yes!"   Mo Qing picked him up and walked into the yamen first.   Chen Luo looked at Tang Xi, twitched his lips, and said in a low voice: "Do you want to go in and sit down?"   Tang Xi shook his head, "No need, Acheng is still waiting for me."   Chen Luo was slightly stunned, silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "He's here too?"   Although he heard Mo Qing say it yesterday, he still wanted to confirm it.   "Yeah." Tang Xi nodded slightly, "He just arrived yesterday."   She felt a little strange in her heart. Logically, Chen Luo should be angry when he mentioned Xie Cheng, why is he weird today?   It seems that there is a hint of guilt in his tone?   "Are you... okay?" Tang Xi asked uncertainly.   "Very good." Chen Luo smiled faintly and said to her: "Since Miss Tang is not free, let's wait until next time. I have something to do in the government office, so I'll go in first."   "Hey, wait!"   Seeing him about to go in, Tang Xi hurriedly stopped him.   He turned back in confusion, "Miss Tang, what else do you want?"   "That... when will you go back to the mansion?"   Chen Luo was stunned and said in confusion: "Maybe... I will go back at noon."   Tang Xi nodded, "Okay, I know, Lord Chen, please go in quickly."   "Sister Tang, are you going to play in our mansion?" Chen Ning asked with wide eyes.   Tang Xi smiled slightly and nodded: "I think so."   "Then Ning will wait for you!"   Tang Xi smiled and nodded.   Chen Luo paused slightly and shook his head again.   How could Xie Cheng come to see him? He had wronged him for so many years, he must hate himself in his heart, right?   He smiled bitterly, nodded slightly to Tang Xi and Huang Bo, and then took Chen Ning into the government office.   "The girl actually knows the city lord?" Huang Bo was surprised.   Tang Xi smiled faintly, "We met once in Hanshui City."   "I see!"   Huang Bo nodded slightly, but he was confused.   Logically speaking, Chen Luo hated Xie Cheng so much over the years, so he should not have this attitude towards the people around him.   But his attitude towards Tang Xi seems to be surprisingly good.   This young man's mind is really hard to guess.   He sighed in his heart and shook his head slightly.   Tang Xi supported him and said, "Let's go, let's buy breakfast."   "Okay!" Huang Bo nodded.   The two returned to the street, bought some buns and cakes, and then returned to the courtyard.   After Xie Cheng woke up, she saw that Tang Xi was not there, and wanted to ask Huang Bo if he had seen her, but Huang Bo was not there either.   He was confused, and when he looked up, he saw Tang Xi carrying things and walking here with Huang Bo.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 559 A Heartfelt Love   "Are you awake?" Tang Xi smiled sweetly at him, "Uncle Huang and I went out to buy some food."   She knew that Xie Cheng must not have slept well, and he slept later than her, so she didn't want to disturb him.   Xie Cheng nodded slightly to Uncle Huang, then took the oil paper bag from Tang Xi's hand and asked with a smile: "What did you buy?"   "Just some buns and snacks." She stuffed all the things into his arms and said with a smile: "You take them back first, I'll go make some tea."   Uncle Huang smiled and said: "Miss, you don't have to go, the old man can go."   "How can that be?" Tang Xi shook her head, "You must be tired after walking for so long, you should sit down first."   "I haven't introduced her to you formally yet," Xie Cheng introduced to Uncle Huang in a calm voice: "This is my future wife Tang Xi."   "I know, Miss Tang." Uncle Huang smiled and said: "I know today."   He heard Mo Qing and Chen Luo call Tang Xi Miss Tang today, and he knew that the little girl's surname was Tang.   As for the relationship between Tang Xi and Xie Cheng, he also vaguely guessed it.   Tang Xi smiled and said, "You go back and sit down and chat, I'll go make tea."   "Wait a minute." Xie Cheng motioned for her to wait, took the things back to the lobby and put them away, then walked out and said, "I'll go with you."   "Okay." Huang Bo said with a smile, "Then let you young people do the rough work."   -   After breakfast, Huang Bo's son-in-law came over.   After learning that someone had come to the Xie Mansion, he was very happy. For this reason, he specially discussed with Xie Cheng about changing people to guard the yard   . "My father has been guarding for more than ten years. Now he is old and his legs and feet are not smooth. Lord Xie, why don't you change someone younger to guard it."   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Okay."   Huang Bo's son-in-law nodded after hearing this, "Then tell me when you find someone, and I will take my father back."   "You should take him back today."   Xie Cheng smiled faintly, and he glanced at Mo Yi.   Mo Yi understood and took out a silver note and handed it to Uncle Huang, "This is five thousand taels. It's for Uncle Huang's retirement."   "Oh, we can't do that!" Uncle Huang said in panic, "Back then, the old city lord gave me one thousand taels, and the old man promised him that he would guard this yard for the Xie family until he grew old."   His son-in-law nodded when he heard it, "In that case, we won't accept this silver note!"   Although they were short of money, they didn't dare to covet what they shouldn't have.   "Just take it." Xie Cheng took the silver note and stuffed it into Huang Bo's hand, "This man is old, and having some money on hand will make him feel more at ease."   "Then you won't need so much!" Huang Bo said with gratitude in his eyes, "I, an old man, have lived an upright life, and I can't be greedy for your money. You'd better take it back."   As he said, he handed the silver note back and said with a smile, "If you want to give it, just give me ten or twenty taels. I am a half-buried in the ground. I may die one day. There is no use in taking this money."   "Dad, what are you talking about?" His son-in-law said unhappily, "You are going to live a hundred years, how can you say such unlucky words?"   "That's right!" Tang Xi smiled, "Uncle Huang will definitely live a hundred years."   After hearing this, Huang Bo smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, "Thank you for the good words, young lady!"   Xie Cheng glanced at the little girl and smiled silently.   He raised his eyes and said to Huang Bo: "Now that you've said that, if you don't accept it, what are you going to do with the remaining decades?"   Mo Yi pushed Huang Bo's hand back and said: "Just accept it. This is also a token of our master's kindness!"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 560 The Origin of Dark Night City   Just after sending Huang Bo and his son-in-law away, a silver light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by a loud bang.   "Boom--"   Tang Xi took two steps back in fear, and Xie Cheng supported her from behind.   "Are you scared?" he asked in a low voice.   Tang Xi frowned slightly, "The thunder is too loud."   She felt the house shaking just now.   Xie Cheng looked at the sky where the silver snakes were dancing wildly, and said in a light voice: "Dark Night City is like this. It is harder to see the sun than Hanshui City. It is gloomy all year round. The name of Dark Night City also comes from this."   "This dark cloud has been brewing since early this morning," Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems that this rain should be heavy."   As soon as she finished speaking, there was another thunder, and then, bean-sized raindrops immediately fell.   Xie Cheng took her two steps into the eaves, looking at the sky helplessly.   "Master, are you going out again?" Mo Yi asked.   "Let's wait until the rain stops." He asked calmly, "Have those two woken up?"   "Yes." Mo Yi said, "I just sent them food, but they didn't move."   "Don't worry about it." Xie Cheng said coldly, "Starve them for two or three days, and they will know what hunger feels like."   "Yes!"   Anyway, the two's legs were broken now, and they couldn't escape.   Tang Xi looked at Xie Cheng hesitantly, considering whether to tell him about the encounter with Chen Luo in the government office today.   "What's wrong?" Noticing her hesitant look, Xie Cheng tilted his head and asked in a low voice.   "Uh... I ran into City Lord Chen at the government office this morning."   Xie Cheng paused slightly, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you go to the government office for?"   Tang Xi said, "I ran into a scoundrel on the path this morning, so I sent him to the government office."   "Scandal?" Xie Cheng's face darkened slightly, "Are you okay?"   "What can happen to me?" Tang Xi smiled disapprovingly, "I asked City Lord Chen, and he said that he might not return to the government office until noon, and he probably hasn't returned yet."   Mo Yi looked at the backs of the two people, stepped forward and said, "Master, how about I go over to see the two people first."   "Go." Xie Cheng nodded slightly.   It was a cold day, and with the rain, the coldness was even more overwhelming.   Especially when the cold wind passed by, the coldness almost pierced people's bones.   Tang Xi couldn't help shivering.   Xie Cheng reached out and hugged her in his arms, picked up the oil-paper umbrella standing beside him, and whispered, "Go back and hide from the cold first."   Tang Xi nodded in his arms like a chicken pecking at rice.   He lowered his eyes and looked at her with a chuckle, then he held up the umbrella and walked out with her in his arms.   When they returned to the bedroom, his shoulders were already soaked, and she was almost dry except for her shoes.   Feeling the big hand holding her trembling slightly, Tang Xi hurriedly said worriedly: "Go change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold!"   But he heard a gentle laugh, "It's okay to catch a cold, isn't there a little doctor here?"   Tang Xi snorted coldly, "If you get sick, I won't care about you!"   "So ruthless?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of smiles.   She frowned and said, "Go back quickly, if you don't go back, I'll be angry!"   "Okay, okay!" He nodded helplessly, but his face was full of a happy smile.   "Go, go!" Tang Xi pushed him out.   "So ruthless!" He pretended to complain all the way, shook his head and sighed helplessly, then turned and walked towards his room.   Tang Xi stood at the door, watched him enter the next room, and then smiled and closed the door.   (End of this chapter)
