It didn't take long for the men in gray to be defeated, but they were not defeated by the warriors of the Xuanyu Clan, but by Xie Weixing's occasional stumbles.
"Catch them!" Zhuo Mucuo gave the order, and the two men in gray were immediately tied up.
Pulling off their scarves, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Aren't these two the guards who followed Ji Hengxuan that day? Zhuo Mucuo naturally recognized them.
He stared at one of the calmer-looking people with deep eyes and said, "Why did you break into my clan?"
Although the man's hands and feet were tied, he still saluted politely and said, "This must be the patriarch of the Xuanjing Clan, right?" Seeing Zhuo Mu wrongly nodding, he continued, "The two of us are here for Looking for someone.”
"who?"
"My master."
Zhuo Mucuo was stunned and asked, "Is your master the white-haired gentleman?" The two nodded, and Zhuo Mucuo said in shock, "Since you are looking for your master, why did you come to me?"
The two men in gray looked at each other and said, "We have been looking for him for many days, but there are no traces of him, so we guessed that you have captured our master."
"Impossible! We only captured Loba that day, because I know that your master was also trapped by Loba."
"But where has our master gone?"
Seeing that neither party could explain clearly, An Yu stood up and asked, "When did your master disappear?"
"It was the night when Loba was captured by you. We have been looking for our master these days!"
"Your master, ordinary people can't get close to him at all. I think he might have left on his own."
Thinking of the white-haired Ji Hengxuan. An Yu had a headache. Ji Hengxuan is a doctor. He has been following them at sea for so long, and the way he looks at her is not quite right. Could it be that he sees that she is actually a girl? Although now she is not worried that he will recognize her as Su Liuyuan. It's just that this will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself.
"If my master leaves on his own, he will definitely leave a mark for us. But since the news about him, there has been no news. Even Miss Mu can't do anything!"
Mu Zihan can be said to be Ji Hengxuan's follower. Now that Ji Hengxuan has left and she has not followed him, something must have happened to their master.
"Are you saying that your master also disappeared on the day Luoba was arrested?" Xie Weixing asked seemingly unintentionally. The two nodded. Xie Weixing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said meaningfully, "That day, Loba also disappeared."
"What?!"
Zhuo Mucuo seemed to remember something. He also nodded and said, "Yes. Although we caught Loba that day, he was rescued by others at night. We still haven't found them until now."
The two men in gray looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Maybe it's the same group of people who kidnapped them. But why did they kidnap Loba too?" An Yu murmured.
"Xiao An is right, maybe they were kidnapped by the same group of people." Yu Chen looked into the distance with dull eyes.
Zhuo Mu Cuo frowned: "No matter what the reason is for you to break into our clan's important territory, this is a great disrespect to our clan. I, Zhuo Mu Cuo, must give an explanation to the whole clan. Someone, take them down and hand them over. The three elders are responsible!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Man in Gray No. 2 yelled. Seeing Zhuo Mucuo's impatient look, he said, "We broke into your territory for a reason! Besides, we thought you were the one who captured our master. Well, as the saying goes, those who don’t know are not guilty, what’s more, didn’t Loba escape? Now instead of thinking about how to punish us here, you might as well think about how to catch Loba!”
Zhuo Mucuo snorted coldly: "We are looking for Luoba, but the clan rules must be enforced! Take them down!"
No longer letting the two of them talk, he took them down by force.
"It's all thanks to you!" Zhuo Mucuo turned his head and looked at Anyu and the others gratefully, and said excitedly.
An Yu looked back at Xie Weixing who was as if nothing had happened, then turned to Zhuo Mucuo and said, "You're welcome, clan leader."
"Alas!" Zhuo Mucuo sighed heavily and said after a long time, "I think Loba must have some accomplices. Otherwise, how could they rescue Loba?"
"Don't worry, Patriarch, Loba will be found sooner or later." Even if he can't be found, he will show up on his own. After all, a person like him will definitely bear the hatred of being resisted by the Xuanyu Clan for the rest of his life. Unless he is dead, he will definitely find a way to come back for revenge!
The theft of the main house was solved in this way, and the fake heavenly book in the secret passage was also hidden from Zhuo Mucuo's eyes.
"What are you still thinking about?" Xie Weixing followed An Yu into her room before asking.
"Don't you wonder who Loba was rescued by?"
Xie Weixing chuckled and did not answer.
"That's right, I've never seen you curious about anything." An Yu glanced at him and said with some disdain.
Unexpectedly, Xie Weixing straightened his expression and thought seriously before speaking: "Who says I haven't been curious?"
An Yu raised his eyebrows, obviously waiting for his big words.
"After hearing what Shaojing said about you teaching Xiaoyan the art of war, didn't I just lie down on your roof out of curiosity? Besides, I also have one thing that I'm curious about now."
"What?"
"Things about your hometown."
An Yu was startled when he heard this. He quickly looked away and said nonchalantly, "Really? What are you curious about?"
Xie Weixing kept staring at her face, knowing that she was unwilling to dwell on this topic at this time. He didn't force her, so he poured a cup of tea and changed the subject.
"When do we get out of here?"
"Are you tired of staying here?"
"There are no osmanthus cakes, no sweet and sour fish steaks, no jade fat gel, nothing."
"Stop!" An Yu wisely chose to interrupt him, "You just think this place is not suitable for a noble person like you to live!"
Even Yu Chen could stay here, but she didn't believe he couldn't! But now that I have obtained the second volume of Feng Zhan's Broken Book, I can really think about how to leave here.
"Our purpose of coming here has been achieved. If we stay here any longer, we will only attract people's dislike. Or do you plan to assimilate with these people?" Xie Weixing raised his eyebrows and looked at her figure with a half-smile.
An Yu frowned and said angrily: "Where are your eyes looking?!"
"I'm just wondering why we should leave."
Xie Weixing didn't answer, and looked at her somewhat distressed expression in silence.

Outside the main house, Abao was pestering Zhuo Mucuo and didn't know what to say. Fan Mu looked helpless on the side.
"Sister Abao, what are you doing?" An Yu said jokingly.
"Brother An, you're here at the right time, come and help me with the evaluation!"
An Yu smiled and asked: "Comment on the truth? Comment on what reason?"
"You said Brother Fanmu likes me, right?"
Seeing Abao's serious face, An Yu couldn't help but become serious. She glanced at Fan Mu who looked ashamed, nodded and said, "He already admitted that he likes you in front of the whole clan that day. What's wrong? Did he do something sorry for you?"
Abao nodded repeatedly and said, "This man clearly said that he likes me, but what happened? He was actually with Sister Xiaoyu last night, and Brother Asu even saw the two of them performing rituals!"
An Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what was going on. She looked at Zhuo Mucuo and saw that he also had a helpless look on his face. She immediately knew that this matter was very difficult. It is difficult for an upright official to stop household affairs.
In the Xuanyu Clan, clan rituals are a sacred thing. As long as both men and women are consensual, no one can interfere, not even the clan leader. But now the partner of his most precious daughter is having sex with another woman, and his own precious daughter keeps crying. Although he didn't know what to say, he still felt more sorry for his daughter in his heart.
However, no one can interfere with the rituals of the clan, so what can he do? The population of the Xuanyu Clan is small to begin with, and they need to use the rites of clan service to conceive more babies. As the clan leader, he naturally has more support in this matter.
"Master Patriarch" An Yu thought for a while and then said, "I think it's Sister Abao's fault in this matter."
When Abao heard this, he immediately stared at An Yu aggrievedly.
"Brother An, how can you say that to me?"
"Abao, let me ask you, do the clan rules stipulate that no one is allowed to interfere with the clan's rituals?"
Abao pouted and nodded.
"Then what are you causing trouble here now? Brother Fanmu is doing this for the benefit of the whole clan, so what are you causing trouble for?"
"But, but" Abao didn't think there was anything wrong with the clan rules before, but now that it was her turn, she realized that these were completely nonsense!
An Yu smiled slightly, looked at Zhuo Mucuo, and said, "Master Patriarch, you are also at fault."
People on the side were shocked and asked repeatedly: "Brother An, how could the patriarch be wrong?"
In their eyes, the patriarch is a sacred and inviolable person, and no one can infringe upon him. Now An Yu says that the clan leader is at fault as soon as he opens his mouth. Isn't this scolding them for not knowing enough about people
"Brother An, can you see clearly? How could the clan leader be wrong? He didn't do anything!" Fan Mu also said hesitantly. Looking at her with some worry, he wished he could pull her aside and ask her to admit that the patriarch had not made any mistakes.
"I'm not wrong. The patriarch made the biggest mistake precisely because he did nothing!"
An Yu looked at Zhuo Mucuo with a firm face and sighed. In fact, she had long been dissatisfied with this rule in the Xuanyu Clan! I was originally going to say goodbye today, but I didn't expect that this would happen to me before I left. No wonder she was meddling in her own business!
