Su Xiaoxiao brought him brown sugar buns, peanut sugar buns, and brown sugar pancakes.

Lu Aotian was about to starve to death and hurriedly took a bite. His soul soared to the sky. “My Grandpa! It’s so delicious!”

The food on the island was disgusting. It was either fish or shrimp.

After leaving the island, he realized that there was actually so much delicious food outside.

This family’s sugar buns were the best.

He took another bite of the sesame seed cake.

The sesame cake was also so delicious!!!

Lu Aotian’s eyes lit up as he wolfed down the food.

Su Xiaoxiao sat on the small stool opposite him and looked at him with her chin in her hands. “Do you want to tell me some other information?”

“Haven’t I finished telling you?”

Lu Aotian was very busy!

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You just said that Xiahou Yan came to the Great Zhou to control the royal family to become the next City Lord, but isn’t he an adopted son? Is an adopted son qualified to be the heir?”

Lu Aotian took a bite of the brown sugar bun and a bite of the brown sugar pancake. He puffed up his cheeks and said, “The Island Master doesn’t have a biological son. He only has four adopted sons!”

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Why doesn’t he have a biological son?”

Lu Aotian said, “How would I know? I’m not from the Xiahou family!”

Su Xiaoxiao opened the food box and took out a bowl of cold canned lychees she had made.

The sweet lychee fragrance instantly a.s.saulted Lu Aotian’s nose.

Lu Aotian, who had eaten so much dry food, immediately felt a little choked.

There were a total of two bowls. Su Xiaoxiao picked up a bowl and ate.

“How sweet!”

Her round face was cute and she made it look extremely appetizing.

Lu Aotian swallowed. “But he has a daugh ter. Madam gave birth to her.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Madam?”

Lu Aotian stared at the can of lychee in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. “Concubine.”

Su Xiaoxiao quickly finished the first bowl and went to get a second bowl.

Lu Aotian said, “The City Lord had a marriage with the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace in the early years. He was originally going to marry the Palace Lord, but because of Madam Ruts appearance, the marriage between the two of them was ruined.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Can you tell me more?”

Lu Aotian said, “I heard it by accident. I don’t know if it’s true.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Just tell me.”

Lu Aotian sighed and said, “It’s said that Madam Ru was pregnant with the City

Lord’s flesh and blood back then and was plotted against by the Hundred

Flowers Palace and was poisoned. Only the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Sang Flower could cure her. However, the Sang Flower is a restricted item of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the Palace Lord refused to give it to her. The City Lord felt that the Palace Lord was vicious and domineering, so he personally went to s.n.a.t.c.h it. Unexpectedly, the Palace Lord was actually pregnant. The moment the two of them fought, the Palace Lord’s pregnancy was affected..

“When she gave birth, the Palace Lord’s qi and blood were exhausted, and the child was not born. In the end, one corpse and two lives were lost.

“From then on, the grudge between the Hundred Flowers Palace and the City Lord’s Estate was formed. When the City Lord found out about this, it was too late for regret. Unfortunately, the dead can’t be revived.”

Su Xiaoxiao hummed.

She was here to ask about Xiahou Yan’s background. She did not expect to encounter such a big piece of gossip.

Seeing her deep in thought, Lu Aotian couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said solemnly, “I smell dog blood

(melodrama).”

Lu Aotian sniffed and frowned. “Really? It only smells of sugar!”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Does Xiahou Yan know about these things?”

Lu Aotian said, “This kind of thing is a secret. If it’s spread, the gossiper will be beheaded by the Island Master. How will he know?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Aotian suspiciously. “How did you know?”

Lu Aotian wanted to say something but hesitated.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the second bowl of canned lychees.

Lu Aotian made up his mind. “I heard it from Granny Ghost!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Do you have a relations.h.i.+p with Granny Ghost?”

Lu Aotian said, “Granny Ghost needed a medicinal herb once. Only our Fire Slaughter Sect has it. I went to make a deal with her and eavesdropped on her conversation with someone. Don’t tell Granny Ghost! If she finds out that I eavesdropped, she’ll kill me!”

Su Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile, “Are you afraid of Granny Ghost?”

Lu Aotian curled his lips. “Elder Qiu has already lost to her. Who on the island isn’t afraid of her?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

What such a powerful person said was more or less true.

Although she did not know how useful these rumors were to her for the time being, her trip to Thousand Mountain Island was imperative. There was no harm in knowing more inside information.

Lu Aotian was focused on eating the buns and pancakes and couldn’t react for a moment. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask who Granny Ghost was. ???ℯ????????.???

It was impossible for a Great Zhou person to have heard of Granny Ghost unless she had connections with the people on the island.

Lu Aotian was still unsatisfied. “I want another pancake!”

After coming out of the woodshed, Su Xiaoxiao digested the information Lu Aotian had provided.

Putting aside the melodramatic triangular relations.h.i.+p,

It was known that Xiahou Yan had come to Great Zhou under the orders of the Island Master of Thousand Mountain Island, who was also the City Lord.

From this, it could be deduced that Zongzheng Ming of the Southern Wilderness should have a subordinate of the City Lord beside him.

The Head of the Secret Service had also said that the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance would not easily accept missions from the royal family unless there was a middleman from the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance had to give respect to.

If that middleman was the City Lord’s trusted aide, everything would make sense.

After Zongzheng Wei took back the throne, he investigated the remaining forces of Zongzheng Ming one by one, but he did not find anyone suspicious.

“But he didn’t manage to investigate one person.”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Xie Jinnian.”

In the blue sea and blue sky, waves surged on the surface of the sea.

After many days of drifting, a large s.h.i.+p finally pa.s.sed through a strait that could be called a ghost realm on the last day of April.

After that, the strait would be filled with thick fog and there would be no way to sail out.

Coincidentally, even though they had safely pa.s.sed through this place, they encountered a rare storm.

Half of the s.h.i.+p was destroyed. Fortunately, there was an isolated island nearby.

The group swam to the island and spent half a month repairing the s.h.i.+p.

After that, the weather was not suitable for going out to sea.

When they finally reached the island, it was already midsummer and June.

The s.h.i.+p owner panted heavily and said to the n.o.bleman on the deck, “Young master, we’re here! We’ve arrived at the island you mentioned!”

After sailing on the sea for so long, they were all ruined.

On the other hand, apart from his dry lips, this n.o.ble young master did not look depressed at all.

He exuded a n.o.ble aura as he stood proudly between heaven and earth.

Xie Jinnian gave him a bag of gold.

The s.h.i.+p owner was overjoyed. “Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young

Master!”

Xie Jinnian got off the boat. As he walked, he took off the human skin mask on his face.

An hour later, he entered the city, chose a horse, and galloped all the way to a fort.

When the guard at the gate saw someone riding a horse over, he quickly shouted, “Who is it? Get off the horse quickly!”

When Xie Jinnian’s horse approached, the guard quickly recognized him and immediately retreated to the side. He bowed respectfully and made way.

The horse drove into the fort.

Xie Jinnian got off his horse, handed the horse to a servant, and entered a majestic tower.

He climbed to the highest level in one breath and said to the City Lord, who was standing by the railing and looking at the entire island, “G.o.dfather, I’m back..”
