C126 Blood Beads (7)

"What is it? Do you want to know? " Seeing Xuanyuan Zhao was so jealous that he looked anxious, Feng Yu's playfulness increased. He prepared to tease Xuanyuan Zhan again, but he turned his face away and suppressed his previous laughing mood to look at Xuanyuan Zhan with an indifferent expression.

Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Feng Yu, his heart anxious and angry at the same time, "Are you going to tell me or not?" At this time, Xuanyuan Zhan seemed to be angry as he spoke.

When Feng Yu heard Xuanyuan Zhan's tone, she thought to herself: If you ask me, then I'll tell you, why should I tease you? I don't care, stingy!

"Guess." The two of them looked at each other, Feng Yu did not budge at all. Right now, she wanted to treat Xuanyuan Zhan, this old man who was like a pot of vinegar.

When Xuanyuan Zhan heard it, he became a little agitated. He hugged Feng Yu and kept retreating until he reached the base of the wall.

Xuanyuan Zhan still moved forward, but Feng Yu held both of his hands up against Xuanyuan Zhan's chest, not allowing him to move forward. Unexpectedly, his own hands just happened to be on Xuanyuan Zhan's chest, so big that Feng Yu's face was slightly tender red, and her head was buried very low.

Looking at Feng Yu's bashful expression, a complacent smile surfaced on Xuanyuan Zhan's face.

"Do you want me to continue guessing if you don't want me to? "Right."

Xuanyuan Zhan's voice sounded from above Feng Yu's head, carrying a trace of a playful smile. Feng Yu's face flushed red. Just as she raised her head to speak, she was covered by Xuanyuan Zhan's burning hot lips, followed by a torrential storm …

After a long while, Xuanyuan Zhan finally let go of Feng Yu's lips. Feng Yu was still intoxicated by Xuanyuan Zhan's gentle attack, and couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Zhan with a misty gaze. She pouted her small mouth, and used all her strength to push Xuanyuan Zhan away from the mirror.

Seeing his own lips in the mirror, which were red and swollen from kissing, he walked in front of Xuanyuan Zhan in anger, raised his hand to hit him, and said while hitting him: "I won't tell you to begin with, let's see what you can do to me. Look at my mouth, how can I even go out to meet people!"

Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Feng Yu's mouth and also felt that it was funny, so he said: "Who told you not to tell me, how about this, I'll let you kiss me back?"

When Feng Yu heard that Xuanyuan Zhan was making fun of him again, she directly pushed him out and let him leave. Xuanyuan Zhan refused to leave no matter what, and the two stayed in a deadlock for a while.

Feng Yu had long since gotten used to it and did not push him away. Thinking back to the scene just now, she felt that it was enough, so she said to Xuanyuan Zhan:

"I had only met that Young Master Xiao by chance. Do you remember the assassination attempt on me a few months ago? That night, someone barged into my room and prepared to kill me. At that time, Young Master Xiao appeared, saved my life, and even took away that assassin. "

Xuanyuan Zhan listened with relish, or perhaps it could be said that he wasn't listening carefully at all, and was playing with Feng Yu's hair. Feng Yu was just about to question him, when she heard Xuanyuan Zhan's question: "Then why did he save you?"

"How would I know it's just a coincidence!" In truth, Feng Yu had also thought about this question. He also couldn't figure it out, so he thought that it was likely to be a lucky chance.

"Coincidence? You mean he took the assassin with him? "

Feng Yu nodded. Xuanyuan Zhan thought: What is this Xiao Mingmo's motive for approaching Feng Yu? Is it related to that murderer? It was really a coincidence...

"Oh, right. It's possible that the assassin had some sort of blood feud with him. They had been chasing and killing him the entire time, but then they discovered that he was harming someone, which coincidentally saved my life." Feng Yu suddenly thought of this question. In this way, all of her questions would make sense! Feng Yu couldn't help but admire her intelligence.

Xuanyuan Zhan thought, this was the only explanation that made sense. However, he still held some doubts in his heart, after all, the people of the Xiao family were all extraordinary …

After Xuanyuan Zhan found out about the relationship between Xiao Mingmo and Feng Yu, he felt a little at ease in his heart. After being warm with Feng Yu for a while, he left. However, her eyes were filled with love …

In the study room, Lei Yu was anxiously waiting for Xuanyuan Zhan. Just now, he found out from the butler that Xuanyuan Zhan was in Feng Yu's room, so he didn't go disturb him.

Since he had followed Xuanyuan Zhan for so many years, Lei Yushandian had long since been able to use his footsteps to determine whether or not he was Xuanyuan Zhan.

"Your Highness." Lei Yu's respectful voice sounded.

Xuanyuan Zhan raised his head and saw the rain and lightly nodded his head, indicating for Lei Yu to come in.

"Did you find anything?" Lei Yu was waiting for him in his study room. He must have something to discuss with him, so he asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate has been following Xiao Mingmo the entire way and has now found out where Xiao Mingmo lives. May I know what Your Highness plans to do with it?"

"Oh? You haven't been discovered, have you? "

"Don't worry, your highness. He didn't discover anything."

"En, that's good. Come with me tomorrow morning to personally pay a visit to this Xiao family."

Xuanyuan Zhan thought: The Xiao family has always lived in seclusion and rarely comes out. This Xiao Mingmo from the Xiao family has come to the capital recently because he has something important to take care of.

No matter what, when Xuanyuan Zhan saw Feng Yu and Xiao Mingmo laughing and chatting in Pear Garden today, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were a perfect match. Thinking about that scene, Xuanyuan Zhan felt that he still minded it a lot.

On the second day, Xuanyuan Zhan brought Lei Yushandian and the others to the inn that Xiao Mingmo was staying. That inn was a little remote, and if one did not spend a lot of effort to find it, it would be difficult to find.

Arriving at the inn, he found that something was amiss. There were tables and chairs placed at the entrance of the inn, all of them missing arms and legs, as though they were the result of a battle. Xuanyuan Zhan felt that something was amiss. He quickly walked into the tavern and gave Lei Yu a look, then indicated that he should go upstairs to Xiao Mingmo's room.

After a while, Lei Yu rushed over and whispered something into Xuanyuan Zhan's ears. Xuanyuan Zhan's face was extremely ugly, it turned out that Xiao Mingmo's room was empty and had long since been emptied.

Xuanyuan Zhan found the innkeeper and asked: "Excuse me, I would like to know if the guest upstairs in the west wing has already checked out?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xuanyuan Zhan, and helplessly shook his head, and said: "Don't mention it, if I knew that the customer would cause such a disaster, I would have stopped him from staying in the small shop. Ah ~ My small shop cannot contain that Great Buddha of his, why, are you looking for him too?"

Xuanyuan Zhan was completely confused by the shopkeeper's words, he did not know what happened yesterday, so he said: "We are his friends, and are here today to discuss a matter with him. When I went to his room, I found out that he was already gone, so …"

"His friend? Oh, he left last night. "

The shopkeeper looked at Xuanyuan Zhan's face and his clothes that looked like a young master from a large family, and did not dare offend him, and told him the truth.

"Leave? Why did he leave in the middle of the night? Xuanyuan Zhan was suspicious, Lei Yu had watched him enter the inn, why would he suddenly leave.

Sigh, last night, I was dozing off at the counter when I suddenly barged into a dozen or so black-clothed men's rooms and headed straight for your friend's room. They had been fighting in the store for a long time, and you know, your friend's martial arts are truly amazing. So many people didn't even injure him.

After hearing the shopkeeper's words, Xuanyuan Zhan understood the reason why Xiao Mingmo left. It was just that he did not understand who would know of his whereabouts, nor why Xiao Mingmo had sent people to assassinate him. What goal did he have?

Seeing the tavern that was currently in chaos, seeing that he had no intention to stay any longer, Xuanyuan Zhan left with Lei Yushandian.

After returning to the Battle King Manor, Xuanyuan Zhan sat in his study with a dark expression. Lei Yu stepped forward to apologize and said: "I have to ask for Your Highness's punishment, it was because this subordinate wasn't successful and didn't send anyone to protect Young Master Xiao, that I took advantage of the situation and entered."

Xuanyuan Zhan rubbed his eyebrows and said: "You can't be blamed for this matter. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, no one can think of it, but, what is the motive of this assassin, if he does this, he can only alert the grass, and get nothing." Xuanyuan Zhan was a little angry.

"Your Highness, do you want to chase after Young Master Xiao now, or …"

"Let's wait and see!" Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't think of any good methods now, he could only wait.

Because there were too many of them, his own arm was still scratched, but it was only a superficial wound. It was rather strange, although the assassins were approaching in a fierce manner, but during the battle, they were not looking for death, they were just bluffing, thus Xiao Mingmo quickly left the tavern. It was likely that someone was drunk, so he quickly left.

But when he was leaving, he discovered a medallion on the ground. Xiao Mingmo's hands were holding onto the medallion, his brows knitted tightly, both hands rubbing the medallion, only to see that there were words carved onto the medallion that read "Battle King Manor".

Xiao Mingmo thought: Could it be that Xuanyuan Zhan had sent someone to assassinate me? But what good would it do him? If he wanted to know about the matter regarding the blood droplets, then with his personality, he wouldn't be such a brutal person. He would definitely come and ask about it himself.

Furthermore, how could Xuanyuan Zhan's subordinates be so careless? Landing down such an important thing like the order badge was just enough to prove their identity.

The more Xiao Mingmo thought about it, the more suspicion he had, because he felt that amongst the current emperor's princes, only Xuanyuan Zhan had the courage of the imperial family, so he had never believed that what happened last night was done by Xuanyuan Zhan …

If that was the case, then there was only one explanation that made sense, and that was that this order badge was intentionally left behind by the assassins, in order to point the blame at Xuanyuan Zhan. Was such a clumsy method even worthy of being used in front of the Xiao family?

Xiao Mingmo laughed coldly. He picked up the wine cup in his hand and downed it in one gulp …

Xuanyuan Zhan thought back to what the Emperor had told him that day in his study. From his words, he could tell that the Emperor believed that Xiao Mingmo of the Xiao Family must be connected to the matter of the blood bead being lost. The Xiao Family had always came and gone without a trace. If he could not find this Blood Bead, then the Emperor's mission would not be completed, but there was no clue, how would he go about doing it?

Xuanyuan Zhan was at a loss of what to do, and wanted to go over to Feng Yu and Dou Dou's place to ease his mood. When he thought of Feng Yu, the worry on his face dissipated. He then strode into Feng Yu's courtyard …

Now that he knew the real motive of the assassins, it would be easy for the mastermind to guess. If he had only been in the capital for a few days, then there would be more and more people coming to find him. It seemed that he had long exposed his location when he came to the capital, so he could not stay here.
