Money-loving baby: mother, who is father

Chapter 15
In the study, the man in black and the young man in purple are drinking tea.

"I heard that you went to the prince's birthday banquet yesterday." The young man in purple asked.

"Hmm." The man in black didn't say anything unnecessary.

"Then what was reported today is true, cough...cough..." The young man in purple coughed a few times, fine beads of sweat appeared on his pale face, and strands of silver-white hair jumped to his forehead due to the violent coughing. , giving a morbid beauty: "Is it true about you and that condensed frost? Is that child yours?"

"You seem to care too much." The man in black snorted coldly.

"Wen Tian, ​​you know that I like Li Bing, but Li Bing only has a deep affection for you. If you do this, where do you put Li Bing?" fox?"

"You talk too much today." The man in black put the teacup firmly on the table: "Don't let me hear similar words in the future."

The man in purple sighed secretly, and did not speak again. This man has always been so domineering.

"Master." A woman's voice came from outside the house.

The man in black turned around: "Come in."

A woman in red opened the door and came in.

"Hong Zhu, you know my rules. If you interrupt us at this time, there must be something important." The man in black asked.

"Yes, my lord, early this morning, the Duke's Mansion dispatched dozens of people, and all the streets and alleys in the capital were covered with portraits of their young master and... and your lord, saying that many people were found. There is a reward." Hong Zhu didn't hide anything, and hurriedly said.

"Didn't you go to the Duke's Mansion to inquire? What is it?" The man in black turned his head and his eyes flashed.

"I've gone. According to the servants, their young master ran away from home, and he seems to be looking for you, the Lord." When Hongzhu saw the portrait of the Lord, she went to the Duke's Mansion and arrested a servant. I came to ask, but I didn't expect to know that my lord has a child. Is the young master of the Duke's mansion really the lord's child?Hong Zhu had such doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask.

The man in black was taken aback. He didn't expect Xiaobao to do such a thing after seeing him. Could it be that he was too sloppy, he was too impulsive yesterday, and immediately came out to protect her when he saw Ning Ningshuang being squeezed out. Unexpectedly, he found trouble for himself. His child was missing, and the man was of course very worried.

"Hongzhu, you should send more spies to find Xiaobao's whereabouts. Also, you should inquire more about the Duke's Mansion. After all, Xiaobao is still young, so I believe he is still in the capital."

"Yes, my lord." Hongzhu was a little surprised that the lord was so worried about a person. Normally, the lord would not pay attention to anyone. Could it be that that child really... Even if he had such thoughts, Hongzhu would not Dare to ask, how can she interfere with the matter of the Lord.

"Yi, I'm leaving today." After hearing that Xiaobao was missing, the man in black couldn't bear it anymore, so he went out without hesitation, leaving the young man in purple alone in the house.

"Wen Tian, ​​you care so much about their mother and child, is it really your child?" The purple-clothed man said to himself, "Forget it, I can't interfere with what this person does, it's just Li Bing, I'm afraid you want to I gave my years of affection in vain.”

After the man in black came out, he said to Hong Zhu: "I'm going to the Duke's Mansion, you don't have to follow."

"Yes, my lord." The woman disappeared in a flash.

The Duke’s Mansion has long been in chaos. Ning Ningshuang and Leng Zhuozhang are anxiously sitting in the living room waiting for the news. Leng Senyan and his wife Qi are also sitting here. Leng Senyan persuaded: " Father, Ningshuang, don't worry, I believe there will be news soon."

Leng Zhuozhang knocked on the table: "Hmph, it's been so long and there is no news yet, you are quite optimistic."

"Father, what are you talking about? I'm also anxious if Xiaobao is lost, but you have to keep calm." Leng Senyan replied sweatyly. Since Ning Ningshuang's mother and son came back, it seems that everything is wrong. The uncle might lose face in front of his niece.

Leng Zhuozhang looked at the eldest son who seemed to be bowing and saluting at every turn, snorted and ignored him. Although the eldest son Leng Senyan inherited his title, his courage and demeanor were not as strong as his second son. It's a pity that his second son married the wrong person and harmed his granddaughter.

At this time, a servant came to report: "Master, there is someone outside asking to see you."

"Please come in quickly, I must have heard about Xiaobao." Leng Zhuozhang heard that someone was coming, so he got up from his chair excitedly.

Under the leadership of the servants, the man in black walked into the living room.

"It's you." Leng Ningshuang was startled.

The man in black clasped his fists at Leng Zhuozhang and said, "I'm going down to Xuanyuan Wentian to pay my respects to the old Duke."

"Xuanyuan Wentian, such a familiar name, I don't know where I heard it before." Leng Zhuozhang said, "We met yesterday, and I know you are Xiaobao's father, so don't be too polite. Well, Xiaobao ran away from home to look for you, I wonder if you have seen him?" Leng Zhuozhang was not confused, seeing Xuanyuan Wentian, he had already guessed that he came because of Xiaobao, and at this time he also Stop beating around the bush and ask questions directly.

The man in black replied truthfully: "I haven't seen him yet, but I heard about it. See if I can help you."

"You don't have to be hypocritical." Ning Ningshuang snorted, "If it weren't for you, Xiaobao wouldn't have run away from home." After her own Xiaobao ran away from home, Ning Ningshuang didn't have much affection for this man. He thinks that this man indirectly harmed Xiaobao and himself.

"Shuang'er, don't be so rude. I don't know if there is any news about Mr. Xuanyuan?" Bao's only way out.

"Not yet, but since Xiaobao just left last night, in my opinion, he hasn't left the capital yet. Right now, we have to seal off the capital and search carefully." Xuanyuan Wentian had a proposal at this moment.

After listening to Xuanyuan Wentian's suggestion, Leng Zhuozhang also very much agreed: "Young Master Xuanyuan is right, if you come, please go to the city gate to notify immediately, and seal the city gate. Everyone who comes and goes must be carefully screened, especially pay attention to the young master. Don't let him out of town."

"Yes, master." The servants rushed to the gate of the city to convey the order for their master. The status of the old man is very high in the capital, and many of the generals guarding the gate are children of Leng Zhuozhang's old department. Zhang's words were to be obeyed. After listening to the people's words, everyone was on high alert and checked the people coming and going.

On the other side, Xiaobao did not leave the city, but followed Duguxuan to the biggest restaurant in the capital.

"Wow, it's so big." Xiaobao's eyes were shining brightly, almost turning into stars.Looking at the restaurant in front of him, Xiao Bao was really excited.

Dugu Xuan looked at him with a smile: "Go in and have a look, this is the first restaurant branch of my Dugu family."

"Okay." Xiaobao hugged Xiaobai, and ran in quickly, followed by Duguxuan, and saw the elegant and beautiful layout inside, and the grand atmosphere. It was already noon, and the seats were already full of people. The house is filled with the fragrance of dishes.

The shopkeeper saw Dugu Xuan with a glance, walked over, cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Master."

"Shopkeeper Xu, arrange an elegant room." Dugu Xuan said familiarly, this place is his Dugu family's territory, and of course it is only a part of the family business. The Dugu family is a family of cultivation and one of the top ten families. What they are good at is doing business. The reason why the level of each family member in their family is not low is precisely because they can earn a lot of money, so they don't have to worry about pills and cheats, and have enough funds to raise the level of each family member. grade.

"Yes, master. Please go upstairs." Shopkeeper Xu didn't dare to neglect the inner clansmen of the Dugu family, and directly hurt their feelings in the private room upstairs.

After entering the private room, Xiaobao sat down first, and Duguxuan said, "Master Xu, serve some dishes that children love."

After a while, the whole table was filled with dishes, such as fried guinea fowl, fish fillet with milk sauce, Kung Pao hare, braised straw mushrooms in oil, fried white mushrooms with beef tenderloin, and various dim sum, such as candied water chestnut, small bean cake, almond The bergamot and a plate of seasonal fruits really whet the appetite and make the index finger want to move.Xiaobao has long been rude, and started to eat the dishes on the table: "Enen, it's not bad, it's much more delicious than the cooks in the grandfather's house." From time to time, he would throw something to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you eat too."

Seeing Xiaobao eating so happily, Duguxuan couldn't help laughing: "Little boy, what's your name?"

With his mouth full, Xiao Bao said vaguely, "You can just call me Xiao Bao."

"Xiaobao, can you tell me which family you are from now?" Dugu Xuan was very curious about his identity at this time. After all, it is still rare in the capital to have a six-tailed fox. If he hadn't come by chance , there must be a powerful family behind him, Duguxuan can only know if he can get the six-tailed fox if he knows his life experience first.

"Yeah, didn't I say that, I'm an orphan!" Xiaobao still didn't want to tell the truth at this moment.

"Xiao Bao, uncle is not so stupid, just now you said like a grandpa, you should be a child of a rich family in terms of your clothes, I want to discuss with your adults about buying this little fox. "Duguxuan continued to induce, and said in his heart that this child is very cautious, and he hasn't come up with a useful word for so long.

"Xiaobai is mine, no one wants to buy him." Hearing this, Xiaobao put down his chopsticks and hugged Xiaobai tightly.

Duguxuan was about to persuade, when he heard a noise coming from downstairs, Xiao Er barged in: "It's not good, Master Dugu, someone is causing trouble below, and even injured someone."

"Oh, you dare to cause trouble in my Dugu family's territory, just because you don't take my Dugu family seriously, let's go, I'll go down and have a look."

Followed Xiao Er to the downstairs, the downstairs was already in a mess, several tables were overturned, the ground was full of broken plates and dishes, two gorgeously dressed people stood there, followed by a few servants, and they were talking to each other. Shopkeeper Xu confronted, and there were several injured restaurant thugs beside him.

"Where did this barbarian come from? Do you think my Dugu family is easy to bully?" Dugu Xuan shouted. Although the Dugu family is only fifth among the top ten families, after all, it is above many large and small countries. , is the top figure in this continent, now, someone is breaking ground on Tai Sui, as a member of the inner clan, Dugu Xuan believes that he wants to defend the dignity of the family.

"Master, you're here." Shopkeeper Xu seemed to be injured, and said while covering his shoulder.

"Yo, I thought it was someone's restaurant that didn't know the rules. It turned out to be Dugu's family. You must be Dugu Xuan, the only son of Dugu Liancheng." The man in Huayi who took the lead said.

"Since you know my father's name, you dare to come here to make trouble. Who are you?" Seeing him mentioning his father's name, Dugu Xuan felt vigilant in his heart. These people, whether they are ordinary cultivators, must have done it on purpose. He didn't know the purpose of making a grudge so far, but for what purpose.

The man in Huayi didn't reveal his identity immediately, but said with a sneer: "We came here today and wanted to invite our brothers to eat and drink. I didn't expect that there were so many people, it was too noisy, and I lost the mood to eat."

Dugu Xuan only knew that this person came to find trouble deliberately, and said: "I don't know who is your brother? Why do you bother my Dugu family?"

The man sneered, but did not answer. At this time, Xiaobao also came downstairs.He heard the noise from downstairs, how could he miss it as he always loves to watch the excitement, took a few bites of food in a hurry, and then came down with Xiaobao in his arms.

"Brother, look quickly, that's not a six-tailed fox." One of them saw Xiao Bai at a glance, and said in amazement.

The man in Chinese clothes took a closer look, and it turned out to be the six-tailed fox: "Really, I didn't expect to gain so much from this trip. It is said that the flesh and blood of the six-tailed fox has the effect of prolonging life, and his inner alchemy can even make people feel better." My skills have increased greatly, and my great grandfather's birthday gift has been obtained, if I take it back, I will definitely make my great grandfather happy."

"Stop being rude." Dugu Xuan shouted: "This person is my guest, don't be greedy." Dugu Xuan couldn't help being furious when he saw that the two people's eyes shifted and they got the six-tailed spirit fox's idea.

"Duguxuan, you are too arrogant, you can't protect yourself, and you are worried about others, so give me a trick." Before he finished speaking, the man had already jumped up and wanted to attack.

"Despicable villain." Dugu Xuan scolded, not daring to be sloppy anymore, exerting all his strength, his spiritual power began to release, and escaped his attack.

"I didn't expect you to have reached the level of a congenital martial artist, but we are at the same level, so it is uncertain who will win." The man in Huayi smiled, pulled out the knife from his waist, and slashed at Duguxuan.

Dugu Xuan dodged, dodged, also drew out the long sword on his body, soared into the air, turned around, and stabbed at the man in Chinese clothes. His sword glow shot straight up like a silver dragon, forcing the man back.

The two went through many moves "ping ping pong pong", but there was no winner.

Suddenly, Dugu Xuan smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and said badly: "Everyone cover your noses and mouths quickly."

But it was too late, everyone was hit and fell to the ground.

"Haha." The man looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "You have been placed under house arrest by Shixiang, and you don't want to go to the ground for two days."

"Shixiang house arrest powder, you are from the Chen family, who is the poison king Chen Yan?" Dugu Xuan had heard the name of Shixiang Ruanjin powder before, but now he was poisoned, and he gradually guessed Huayi man's identity.

"It's my great-grandfather, I'm Chen Che." The man announced his name at this moment.

The Chen family is good at poisons and hidden weapons. Although it is also one of the top ten families of cultivation in the country, it is the most despicable and shameless family among the families, because they take cultivation as the second priority and specialize in poisons and hidden weapons. All the families are ashamed of them As a team, the Chen family is all alone.And Chen Che is the eldest grandson of the Chen family, born to be domineering and domineering.

Dugu Xuan also fell to the ground in response, and looked at Chen Che with hatred: "The Chen family are really despicable and shameless people, and they can do such nasty things." Dugu Xuan clenched his fists, and the sudden blue-purple blood vessels on his arms Bumped up, but still couldn't stand up.

Seeing everyone fell to the ground, Xiaobao thought to himself, what's going on, it doesn't seem to be a second, so let's run quickly.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he felt his feet were off the ground. Chen Che casually threw Xiaobao to the servant next to him, and said, "Shock him unconscious."

Xiao Bao only felt a pain in his neck and passed out completely.
