Chapter 175 The Past of Hengjian Villa

"They said they were going to get some fresh air, but it turns out they were just playing around behind my back." Xiao Zhengdu complained half-truthfully, glancing at the people behind Lou Xiao, especially the ones tied up by the guards.

"What happened? Who did you arrest?"

Lou Xiao tugged at his sleeve and said, "I saw someone doing something wrong and beat him up. I can't get involved in the rest of the story. Let's go."

"Unlawful? There are still people in Yunsu City who dare to target the people of Hengjian Villa. It seems that this villa is not that good."

Xiao Zhengdu laughed and said, "You may have recognized the wrong person."

Rolling his eyes at him, Lou Xiao explained,

"Hengjian Villa is thriving, and the old owner has retired to the background. It is not the turn of the youngest to take power.

And seeing that his friends are all scholars, they should have been excluded from the power in the family."

The son of a martial arts family goes to academy to study. Does that mean he will take the imperial examination?

Xiao Zhengdu thought about the affairs of the royal family. There were many children in the palace of the late emperor, and naturally some were favored and some were neglected.

It's just that even if the Jianghu people didn't like the young boy, they didn't treat him harshly, and he...

Who would have thought that a prince of the royal family would almost starve to death or die of illness.

"So those were his guards? Are they going to report to the police?"

The two people walking side by side were talking in low voices. Xiao Zhengdu was a little impatient with all the malicious looks coming from all around.

Whether looking at him or her, it's very unpleasant.

How many people in the capital dared to look him in the face? His eyes could scare several immature officials to tears.

He intentionally led Lou Xiao out because he felt something was wrong with him.

"He is Yue Pengyu's bodyguard. He probably won't report to the police. I guess he will be dealt with according to the rules of the underworld."

Hearing another unfamiliar name, Xiao Zhengdu just looked at her and waited for her to explain.

Lou Xiao turned around and walked around the stumbling guest, and continued, "The elder sister of the young master Yue Tianci of Hengjian Villa is quite good at martial arts, and should have some weight in Hengjian Villa."

With a smile on his lips, Xiao Zhengdu's expression was intriguing. "It looks like you've gained a lot. You must have been prepared for this."

Lou Xiao waved her hand, "Not really, I just assumed that people from Hengjian Villa would definitely come here.

I fought with Yue Pengyu, and we have a mutual respect for each other. She should send someone to look for me later."

In other words, they can't leave for the time being.

The two of them paused, Xiao Zhengdu felt a little anxious.

The candlelight in Luoyang Houseboat was bright, and an unknown fragrance was long and strong. He was at the age where he couldn't stand it anymore. He had been in the hot spring before...

He called the waiter in a very bad tone, "Find a quiet room. Do not light the colored lights. Open the windows for ventilation. Also prepare a pot of cold tea. Lead the way!"

Lou Xiao squinted her eyes with a surprised expression, not knowing what was wrong with him.

She only noticed that he seemed to be avoiding her sight, which somehow reminded her of the day in the hot spring.

He walked in front in a hurry, and Lou Xiao followed slowly. Occasionally, someone who wanted to throw himself into her arms was cleverly avoided by her.

When I looked up again, I saw Xiao Zhengdu turning around, his eyes urging me.

The independent and well-ventilated "quiet" room has a cold and quiet feeling.

The candlelight was like bean sprouts, and the silk ribbons hanging in the room were dark golden.

Silvery moonlight streamed in through the wide-open window, casting a long shadow on the candlestick on the desk, which was then completely obscured by Xiao Zhengdu's seated body.

When the waiter brought him the cold tea, he drank it up immediately.

Lou Xiao stood by the window and looked at the night view of Yunsu City outside the Luoyang Houseboat. Although it was still not as good as what she had just seen on the roof, it was already pretty good.

After his breathing calmed down, Lou Xiao turned around and asked him jokingly, "Calm down?"

Xiao Zhengdu looked up at her and turned his head away. Lou Xiao turned around, leaned her elbows on the window sill, and said with her back to the moonlight, very understandingly,

"Something must have been added to the lamp oil. It's normal to feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Zhengdu didn't want to talk about his embarrassing situation, so he changed the subject.

"You said Yue Pengyu would come to look for you. Are you sure? Why don't you take this opportunity to tell me about Hengjian Villa? What is its origin?"

Lou Xiao nodded with his back to the moonlight and followed his topic, "You need followers, and the martial arts sects or families also hope to have more martial arts talents among them.

Hengjian Villa was on the verge of decline until the old owner became a martial arts genius who married the daughter of a teahouse in Yunsu City. After several years of hard work, the villa regained its glory.

But not long after, his first wife died. Afterwards, he got married and had children one after another. The Feng Shui of Hengjian Villa was good for people, so all his children survived, but all his wives died young. "

Xiao Zhengdu mentioned it casually, "It's so unreasonable, doesn't anyone suspect it?"

"Of course there is, but it just ended in vain." She turned around and looked at the night view outside the window.

"In the end, everyone just said that he had a tough life and killed the person next to him."

At that time, Hengjian Villa had already gained fame in the martial arts world, and the old owner was powerful and no one dared to provoke him.

Anyway, she heard from her master that she didn't think much of him, and when she dragged her around the map to find someone to "compete" with her, she never thought of looking for him.

Even though Hengjian Villa was unprecedentedly famous at that time.

However, no matter how glorious it is, it will eventually fade away.

As the old owner of the villa gets older, resources are not distributed evenly among the many children in Hengjian Villa. It is said that they are fighting with each other and each has his own ulterior motives.

"This is similar to my family." Xiao Zhengdu added what he knew.

"The Great Xi Dynasty has always been ruled by women. The previous emperor ascended the throne as a man, so naturally many people took him as a role model."

What kind of role model? Of course, it is filthy and chaotic.

Now the late emperor has passed away, but this "old owner" is still alive.

Hengjian Villa has a large population, but they are not united. In order to compete for more resources, they need more talents around them.

People who are highly skilled in martial arts and have no backing are naturally the first choice for recruitment.

"So she will definitely invite me..."

Lou Xiao is very confident.

Xiao Zhengdu, who had already stood on the winning side in the battle for the throne, became somewhat interested in the fight between these small Jianghu families.

When successful people look back at others struggling, they might feel some emotion, right?

"You want to help Yue Pengyu? I think there's no rush. Let's find out who's behind what, who's favored, who's helping him, who are the counselors, and more..."

Xiao Zhengdu, who was familiar with the situation, explained everything one by one. Seeing Lou Xiao's face wrinkled up, he looked very uncomfortable just by listening.

Laughing at her, "This is nothing, we..."

Your Majesty worked with them to plan for many years before defeating the former King Zheng step by step.

Lou Xiao interrupted his pride and said puzzledly,

"Why should I help them? What does it have to do with us who is the owner of the manor?"

Xiao Zhengdu's mindset was fixed, and he immediately planned to help someone.

And Lou Xiao kept his mission in mind.

"We are only here to investigate the case. When the time comes, we will find out the truth..."

Those who deserve to go to jail will go to jail, and those who deserve to be convicted will not be able to escape.
