C154

Elder Huo saw that he had been suspected by that old fox, Elder Fei, and was afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed.

After Elder Huo got rid of the person following him, he came to a remote alley. Occasionally, the sound of children's pants could be heard from the alleyway. When Elder Huo heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

He walked straight to a seemingly ordinary courtyard, using his hands to pull on the door knocker that had two long and one broken knocker. Someone inside asked, "Who is it?!"

Elder Huo said impatiently, "I'm your Third Uncle. Didn't you say earlier that you want me to go see your in-laws? I went to take a look. Since I'm not back here, I might as well drop by to see you guys! "

It was not long before the door opened.

Elder Huo looked at the guard at the door and said, "Can't you shorten the signal a little?" After saying that, he angrily walked into the yard.

When he entered the hall, he saw Elder Song pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. Elder Huo had never seen this kid so helpless, so he asked, "What has made you so alarmed?"

Elder Song was worrying about this, so he didn't see Elder Huo come in. Seeing that Elder Huo had returned, it was as if he had seen Buddha in the west. He pulled Elder Huo's hand and said, "Elder Huo, how are you doing today when you went to investigate?!"

Elder Huo looked at him in doubt: "Did something big happen while I was away?"

He stroked his beard and said, "I just came back from Elder Fei's place, but this old fox seems to have smelled something. He actually sent someone to follow me!"

When Elder Song heard that he was being followed, he looked at Elder Huo with his eyes wide open, and asked: "You brought that person here?!"

Seeing him look down on himself, Elder Huo smiled and said: "Aren't you underestimating me too much?! That person had already been thrown off by me! But I want to ask you guys, how long have I been gone? How come you are here panicking? "Tell me, what exactly happened inside?"

Elder Song looked at Elder Huo embarrassedly. He covered his nose and coughed as he said awkwardly: "Cough, these are all trivial matters. You don't have to worry about them!"

Elder Huo looked at the guilty look on Elder Song's face and said in anger: "I don't think it is a trivial matter."

Elder Song lowered his head and looked at Elder Huo as he explained, "Elder Huo, it's really a small matter. You can't worry about it!"

At this moment, a person who had just returned from the outside came into the lobby to report the situation to Elder Song. Elder Song also gave a signal to that person. However, that person was also very stupid. Seeing Elder Song winking at him, he couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

However, all of this was witnessed by Elder Huo, who was standing at the side. Seeing that there was something fishy going on, he said to the person, "Just say it out, I also want to hear what you guys are busy with outside."

That person saw Elder Huo shake his head to speak, but this secret was given to him by Elder Song. If he were to speak of it, he would not be able to escape. Thus, he turned his gaze to Elder Song.

Elder Huo saw that this person didn't say anything and looked at Elder Song. He immediately understood what this brat was doing in the dark!

Elder Song saw that that person was looking at him, so he signaled him not to say anything.

However, Elder Huo, who was at the side, suddenly spoke up. He said in a weird tone, "Aiya, looks like I'm not afraid of being treated like one of my own after all. I still have to secretly do everything! It seems like this old set of bones is just a burden to me! Alright, I don't want to bother with your business anymore! I'll have to trouble Brother Song to tell nephew Yang that I will withdraw from this matter. As for the silver taels that you have given me, I will return it in full! I shall take my leave now! " Then, he pretended to leave.

Clan Elder Song saw that the matter was blown up, so he grabbed Clan Elder Huo and said: "I'll tell! I say! Can't I? My dear Elder Huo, can you please stop saying that you will withdraw from our plan? Without you, we are nothing! "

Elder Huo rolled his eyes at Elder Song and asked: "What is Yang Er doing now? Why haven't I seen his road for so long?! "

Seeing that Elder Huo had dispelled that thought, Elder Song flattered, "You are as brave as Guan Yun was when he went alone to the Fei Mansion!"

Seeing that Elder Song was avoiding the important matter, Elder Huo looked at him impatiently and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense for me! "Tell this person to quickly tell us his information!"

Elder Song did not dare to play any tricks this time. He waved his hand at that person and said dejectedly: "Elder Huo is also not an outsider. Tell Elder Huo about the information I sent you to scout!" Then, he smiled at Elder Huo with embarrassment.

That person replied, "Elder Song, you asked me to go out and find Miss Tang. I heard from the investigation that Miss Tang entered an inn with a person called Cai Daoping from Lin An. When I came back to report to you, they hadn't come out yet!"

After Elder Song saw that the other person had finished reporting, he immediately waved to him, signalling for him to leave quickly.

"Wait!" Elder Huo immediately stopped that person. Then, he looked at Elder Song with a face full of dark clouds. Suddenly, he asked that person in an amiable manner, "Who is this Miss Tang you spoke of? Why did Clan Elder Song send you to follow her?! "

That person looked at Elder Song with a wronged expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this situation, Elder Huo said to him: "You can be at ease and speak the truth. If Elder Song dares to cause trouble for you, I will bear the burden for you!" Then, he glared at Elder Song.

Others felt that they were in a dilemma, so they didn't say anything.

Elder Huo knew that the person was afraid of Elder Song's authority and did not dare to speak the truth. He then said to Elder Song: "It seems that without your words, your subordinates would not have dared to speak the truth to me. Elder Song, quickly speak! "

Elder Song forced out a smile and said to Elder Huo: "Look at you, why are you making things difficult for these subordinates? If you really want to know the sequence of events, I can personally report it to you, okay?! "

Elder Huo quickly stopped Elder Song from speaking: "Don't do that! I just want these people to tell me these things. Listen to you? Humph! He probably didn't even have a single word of truth in his mouth! Hurry up, I just gave you my word! If they dare to cause trouble for you in the future, I'll take care of it for you! I, Huo a certain someone, have always kept my word! " After saying that, Elder Huo kept insisting that the person in the hall tell him the truth!

Elder Song saw that this stubborn old man was really tenacious and could not force him any further. He had to surrender and said to that man: "Speak! I won't pursue this matter anymore! "
