Chapter 168 Zhou Huan
"Naturally alive, but he is very weak. If I hadn't come to ask you, I would have killed him directly."
Xu Ziying frowned deeply, he didn't want Rong Feiyan to tell the truth to him all the time, Zhou Yunke was deceiving him, and he was also doing bad things, but he didn't understand why Zhou Yunke did this.
"Don't kill him yet." Xu Ziying paused, "Zhou Yunke cares about this younger brother very much, it's still useful to keep him."
Xu Yu nodded and said, "Alright, then lock them in the firewood room and keep them under strict supervision."
Xu Ziying said again: "Zhou Yunying is seriously ill and won't live long, let someone take care of her."
Xu Yu also agreed, looked at Xu Ziying, pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Yinger, you are softening your heart to him."
"I..." Xu Ziying didn't want to admit that he was soft-hearted, but he also couldn't find a reason to refute, and was very entangled.
Xu Yu didn't ask any more questions. He dragged a stool and put it beside the bed, and sat down with a flick of his robe.Rong Feiyan was still asleep on the bed, Xu Ziying touched his face, tucked the corner of the quilt back up for him, and felt inside with his hand, and found something.
Looking at the Feizi jade pendant in his hand, half of the jade pendant was soaked in blood, now the blood has dried up, leaving the residual warmth of Rong Fei's tired body on the surface.
Xu Ziying bit the corner of her lips lightly, wiped off the blood on the jade face, felt inexplicably hot to the touch, and said softly, "Did I engrave this for him?"
Xu Yu nodded, "Yes."
"Hou Ye has always treated people like a treasure and forbade anyone to touch him. Even he was reluctant to touch it more. He said that it would be great to hold it in his hand and smooth out your engraved characters. Usually he would just take it out and have a look. It’s all about relieving hunger.”
Xu Ziying held the jade pendant and put it on his heart slowly, he couldn't imagine how Rong Feiyan survived all these years, maybe even if he fed all his thoughts into the canal, the canal would be piled up into a mountain.
After a while, Xu Yu said, "This jade pendant was almost snatched away shortly after your death. Do you know who that person is?"
Xu Ziying subconsciously asked, "Who?"
"Zhou Huan." Xu Yu paused, "It's Zhou Yunke's father."
"What does he want this thing for?" Xu Ziying asked puzzled.
"He's just a lunatic." As if recalling the bad past, even Xu Yu's tone was tinged with anger.
Xu Yu said: "When you were the leader, he was the subordinate who supported you the most. When you were framed by the palace and fled, he immediately betrayed you, replaced you, and even tried to kill you by any means."
Xu Ziying said: "Zhou Yunke and I mentioned his father, Zhou Huan, he is already dead, right?"
Xu Yu nodded heavily, and asked him, "How did Zhou Yunke tell you about his father?"
Xu Ziying thought for a while, "He said that his father died of a family illness, and that Zhou Huan had always respected...the me back then, and advised me to go back and work hard."
Hearing this, Xu Yu sneered, "It's hard to make it up for him so well."
"Where is Zhou Huan persuading you? He persuaded you once. After seeing you with Lord Hou, he wanted to drive you to death. That kind of madness, even if he wanted to eat your flesh and blood, I would believe it."
Xu Ziying didn't quite understand, "How much money do I owe him? Why should he chase me like this?"
"So he's a lunatic."
Xu Yu couldn't help spitting, "There is no legitimate reason or hatred. If you want to say the same, it will probably pull you off the altar and step on your sense of accomplishment."
Seeing Xu Ziying frowned and thinking, Xu Yu turned the words back, "It is very likely that Zhou Yunke is doing something for his father, but what is the matter? We still need to wait for Master Hou to wake up and discuss."
After a few more days, Xu Yu led people to search for Zhou Yunke every day.
The younger brother was still in their hands, Xu Ziying and Xu Yu expected that he would not go far, but Rong Feiyan was still awake, Xu Yu would patrol around the inn at most, and could not go too far.
Rong Feiyan's horrific wounds, coupled with inflammation and infection, caused him to have repeated high fevers. Du Yi tried his best to treat him, but fortunately, there were countless kinds of precious medicinal materials in the storage pouch, so no matter what, he was still hanging.
Xu Ziying stayed by Rong Feiyan's side every step of the way, for fear that Rong Feiyan would make any mistakes, would not be able to eat or sleep well, and would lose a lot of weight.
He Shengyan waved his fan to watch, and was startled.
He also came up with a bad idea, "Brother and sister-in-law, why don't you just let me make Master Hou into a puppet, he will surely save his life, and save you from worrying all day long."
"If it's not necessary, how can you turn a living person into a puppet?"
Xu Yu was about to use up his few good tempers, pointed to the door and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll let you go out lying down."
He Shengyan immediately shut up, covered half of his face with a folding fan unwillingly and muttered, "It's not that you always say that I eat for nothing all day, I'm not helping you with ideas..."
Xu Ziying said: "Thank God if you don't help me."
He had heard from Xu Yu that He Shengyan was a master at making puppets, but his combat effectiveness was shattered. Let alone going out with him to find Zhou Yunke, walking two steps would be tiring.
As a result, among the group of people, he was the most idle.
Xu Yu suppressed his anger and said, "If you really want to help, just lend me your puppets, so that I can still have some strength left."
He Shengyan immediately refused, "You borrowed them all, so who will protect me? No, no."
"If you can't find Zhou Yunke, it will be all on you."
Rong Fei is still in a coma, apart from him, no one else can do anything about this young master, and they can't even beat him, because he is protected by a puppet.
Seeing that there was another quarrel, Xu Ziying sat aside and thought for a long time, then said, "Otherwise, I'll go with you."
As soon as these words came out, both of them looked at him together.
Xu Ziying twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Although I have no memories of the past, I still remember how to hold a knife and fight subconsciously. Besides... I am also a puppet, and I must be stronger than those puppets of He Shengyan."
"No."
Xu Yu didn't even think about it, and said, "What you have to do, Xiaoying'er, is to guard Lord Hou, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
"Yes." He Shengyan also said, "If you want to find it, it's not impossible."
Xu Yu immediately asked: "What way?"
He Shengyan cleared his throat in a leisurely manner, "I have had contact with Zhou Yunke, although it is negligible, but I still smell a puppet's unique smell on his body, maybe he has also made a puppet, so he is contaminated with the smell."
"But it's been too long, and I can't guarantee whether he still has this smell on him now. If so, I can probably find him by smell."
Xu Yu thought for a while and said, "Then let's try, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"You didn't ask." He Shengyan took it for granted, and whispered: "You told me to shut up."
Xu Yu rolled his eyes and didn't argue with him, "You go with me."
He Shengyan was unhappy, "I'm not going!"
Xu Ziying said for Xu Yu: "Aren't you going? Do you want uncle to cut your nose away?"
After Xu Yu made a gesture to hold the knife, He Shengyan covered his straight nose and shook his head, "Go, go, I'll go."
