Chapter 1343: The Highest Realm Of Torturing Scum (2)

Did he think he was the Jade-faced Rakshasa?

Xiahou Zheng blocked Ye Xun’s attack.

However, he quickly realized that it was not easy for him to deal with Ye Xun.

This guard’s defense could be said to be extreme.

Just as he finally caught Ye Xun’s flaw, an annoying crow flew over and spat on his face.

“Tui-tui-tui!”

“Damn bird!”

He slashed at the five tigers.

The golden eagle swooped down from the sky like lightning and slapped his sword askew.

Wuhu was so angry that he jumped. “Grandpa!”

Xiahou Zheng was speechless.

Xie Jinnian quickly turned into an alley while he was entangled.

Seeing this, Xiahou Zheng suddenly slapped Ye Xun away and caught up to Xie Jinnian.

He wanted to snatch the treasure map back.

Xie Jinnian refused to let go. As he pulled, half of the treasure map was split into two!

When Xiahou Zheng was about to snatch the fragment in Xie Jinnian’s hand, Ye Xun swung his sword and slashed down.

“Young Master! I’ll stop him! Leave first!”

“Remember to take back the treasure map in his hand!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

The two brothers, Ye Xun and Ye Lang, fought fiercely with Xiahou Zheng and his secret guards.

Xiahou Zheng had clearly underestimated the two brothers’ skills. His secret guard died tragically under Ye Lang’s sword, and he had paid the price—his left arm was injured.

The two brothers’ injuries were more serious than his, but they refused to let him leave even if they died.

Xiahou Zheng said angrily, “What tough bones! Since you have a death wish, I’ll fulfill your wish!”

After Xie Jinnian left, he immediately got into a carriage that had been prepared.

The carriage rushed back to the City Lord Manor as quickly as possible.

Before getting out of the carriage, he wiped the dust off the ground, endured the discomfort, and wiped it on his forehead and cheeks, messing up his bun.

“Foster father!”

He appeared in front of Xiahou Qing in a sorry state.

Xiahou Qing was feeding two picky phoenixes. The moment he saw his appearance, he frowned. “How did you end up like this? Also, what clothes are you wearing?”

Xie Jinnian said with a complicated expression, “Godfather, I have something to report!”

… .

“How do you know that I have the treasure map of Emperor Wu’s tomb?”

In the study, Xiahou Qing looked at Xie Jinnian warily.

Xie Jinnian said bitterly, “Last month, there was a murder on the island. I received clues that that person had been appearing in a brothel recently, so I disguised myself and went to the brothel to secretly visit. Unexpectedly… I met my brother. He was making a deal with a mysterious person. He gave the other party a box of gold, and the other party gave him half a treasure map. He even said that the treasure map Lou Bufan gave to Foster father was fake. This half was the real one. As for the other half, that person said that the price had to be right.

“After that, I heard that person ask Big Brother how he was going to deal with the treasure map. Big Brother said that he would naturally keep such an expensive thing for himself.

“I was very shocked and caused a commotion. Big Brother chased after me. I disguised myself at that time, so Big Brother probably didn’t recognize me… My guard fought with Big Brother. During the fight, he tore off a little of the treasure map from Big Brother’s hand.”

Xie Jinnian did not mention that Xiahou Zheng wanted to silence him, but every word expressed this.

With that, he handed the small treasure map to Xiahou Qing with both hands.

Xiahou Qing took the treasure map and looked at Xie Jinnian deeply. He didn’t say if he believed him or not. “Stand down first. Don’t mention this to anyone yet.”

“Yes.”

Xie Jinnian agreed respectfully.

Only Xiahou Qing and Steward Chang were left in the room.

Steward Chang did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Xiahou Qing threw the treasure map on the table and snorted. “None of you are easy to deal with!”

The City Lord was… suspicious of Second Young Master…

Second Young Master’s move was not good.

If he was not careful, the image he had painstakingly built for many years would be ruined.

But why did Second Young Master have to make a move like this?

Could there be a deeper meaning?

In the middle of the night, Xiahou Zheng finally shook off Ye Xun and his brother and returned to the City Lord Manor.

“Is Second Brother back?” he asked the guard guarding the door.

The guard shook his head. “Second Young Master went out and hasn’t returned until now.”

Where did Second Brother go?

Xiahou Zheng frowned suspiciously.

But soon, he felt that this was a good thing.

He had hidden his appearance, what if Second Brother still recognized him?

Would he run back to complain to his adoptive father?

However, since Second Brother was not back yet, there was nothing to be afraid of.
