Xing Cang came out of the eldest young master's place with a respectful expression, without any displeasure. No one could find any flaws on his face.
In fact, he wasn't too unhappy.
At most I feel a little emotional.
These manor owners, old or young, new or old, always have some new tricks. Each one of them is so unreasonable and such an asshole, and each one's asshole direction is different.
This person's direction is ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, as if he is about to turn the world upside down with his mouth, letting him manipulate everything in the world, as if he feels that he is more powerful than Wang Liang.
I hope he can still say this after going to Mount Zhuangliang.
"Xingqi said that he... is a kind of father?" Xingcang remembered the evaluation that Xingqi told him.
Xingqi is a guy who has great ambitions when he goes out, but he doesn't have a good vision, and it gets worse and worse.
How does this junior resemble his father?
His temper is more impatient than his father's, his patience is worse than his father's, and his mind is more whimsical than his father's. It is a kind of whimsy that cannot distinguish between east, west, and north. I don’t know anything, so I dare to say and do anything.
It might cause more damage than his father, but ultimately it's easier to deal with than his father.
Just now, Xing Cang even had an idea - just because he said he wanted to replace the sword slave with the one from outside, he had already given away the clue. As long as he reveals even a little bit to the outside world, I am afraid that the eldest young master will be able to follow his father in a moment.
Just... forget it.
If that happens, Changfa Manor will also be in danger.
How could he have injured the jade bottle just to kill the mouse?
And after so many years, success was imminent, and he did not expect to have another manor owner at this time.
At least this one has to persist until after the sacrifice, right?
Just a little bit different.
He returned to the room with the intention of waiting to see what would happen, ate something peacefully, and rested until the evening, when Xing Wu came to pay him a visit.
Seeing him coming, Xing Cang was in a good mood: He also knew that it would be good to take the initiative. I met Xingwu and his young master shopping together before. This was probably the young master's attempt to win over them and try to drive a wedge between them. It seems that Xingwu has come to his senses now and wants to explain to himself.
Since he came here on his own initiative, he knew what was going on, so he should offer some words of comfort to resolve the gap. After all, Xingwu didn't have any evil intentions. He was naive at best, a bit stupid at worst. He believed whatever others said. This is also the reason why he can survive until now. And the strength is not bad, it is stupid, but it has to be used, and it is still worth saving.
Unexpectedly, Xing Wuyi came in and said directly: "General Manager, I want to go up the mountain."
The chief steward glanced outside, but saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, approaching the second watch, and said: "Now? Go up to the two mountains?"
Xingwu said: "Yes, it is the master's order. He told me to go up the mountain and ask Xingjiu and the others to come down."
Xing Cang frowned and said, "Why?"
Xingwu said: "It is said that the master wants to meet them at the bottom of the mountain. He said that the people on the mountain looked out of shape in the shadows, and they could see more clearly under the mountain through the sunlight, so he decided to ask them to come down the mountain to see the first person. There is also a seat for them at the banquet in the back."
What bullshit reason is this?
How old has Xing Cang lived and how many things have he experienced? Just by hearing it, I guessed that the young master must have felt that the manor was his base, a net waiting for him to get caught, and he refused to throw himself into it. He wanted to extract the people inside first and separate them. , it is best to cut off all your wings and then go up the mountain cleanly.
This is really...
A villain's heart is used to measure a gentleman's heart. He thought he had the same pattern?
Idiot, it's okay at first, but being so suspicious will cause trouble.
Xing Cang sneered secretly and said, "Oh, since it's the young master's order, I have to go. It's getting late today, so you should take a rest first and go up the mountain tomorrow morning."
Xing Wu said: "Since the master ordered me, I don't dare to rest. I'm going up the mountain now. I want to report to you. I'm afraid you won't be able to find me in the past two days. I'll go first." After that, Xing Cang hurried away without waiting for anything else. .
To put it nicely, this is a report, but to put it badly, it is just to inform Xing Cang.
Xing Cang watched him leave, his eyes darkened, and suddenly said: "Go and call Twelve."
His trusted servant went out and found Xing Twelve.
Xing Twelve came quickly, his face turned red and he seemed to be slightly drunk. This swordsman is the second youngest in Changfa Manor. He is also short, and his youthfulness can be seen from his face. But he is more like a swordsman in the traditional sense of Kongliangshan. Even though his face turned red after drinking, he could still feel pale and cold. Unlike Xingwu who always had a dull feeling, there was no doubt that he was very sharp.
Xing Cang glanced at him and said, "Have you been drinking?"
Xing Twelve lowered his head and said: "The swordsman brought by the young master invited me to drink."
Xing Cang said: "After drinking, can you still hold the sword?"
Xing Twelve's eyes lit up when he heard "hold the sword", as if two lights were lit: "Of course."
Xing Cang said: "Okay, kill someone for me."
Xing Twelve said: "Yes! Who?"
Xing Cang spit out one word: "Five."
Xing Twelve frowned slightly, and Xing Cang asked: "Don't want to go?"
Xing Twelve said: "No, I'm not sure."
Xing Cang turned around, took out a short sword from the box, and said: "Here's this for you. Use this sword to kill if you can, and retreat if you can't. If you want to leave, Xing Wu can't stop you. I'll tell you You only have the skills to crack his swordsmanship." After that, he said something.
Xing Twelve listened carefully and solemnly said: "As ordered." Without saying much, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
Xing Cang watched him leave, moving his fingers lightly, as if he was hesitating about something. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said to himself: "Just teach me a lesson."
After Xing Twelve left, he relaxed a little, but did not rest. Instead, he asked someone to pour him a cup of strong tea, and he drank it to sort out his thoughts.
Originally, he planned to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, deal with this boy for a month or two, and then complete the sacrifice. Once the sacrifice is completed, he will take complete control.
But the change in Xingwu just now made him change his mind: he should do something. If you don't do it, if you lose a lucky five, you will lose it. What about lucky nine? What about twelve? If each one is gone, people’s hearts will be scattered.
Although the people's hearts in Zongliang Mountain are nothing, and even people are nothing, if the other party is allowed to take advantage of it, with the resolute and resolute temper of the young master, it may invade him in a month or two, and I'm afraid that he will Something bad happened.
It's better not to retreat but to advance, and the thunder suppresses him. Instead of waiting for a month in a dilemma, it would be better to let this ignorant young man spend a month in panic.
Although when the time comes, the result is the same. But it was better for him to feel bad than to feel bad for himself.
Let's start tonight.
Xing Cang was planning what happened next, when he was suddenly startled, as if he remembered something, and stood up from his seat suddenly.
…
Then, he froze and stood in front of the chair in a daze.
After a while, he shook his head dejectedly and said, "Am I really old and have forgotten some things? Even if a thought flashes across my mind, I can't remember it in the blink of an eye? No..."
Xing Cang's eyes gradually deepened: "That's not it. I can't stay like this. It's time to do something." He took out a piece of cyan letterhead from his sleeve and started writing on it.
At this time, the main hall of the Golden Crow.
The small meeting between a few people was about to end. The night was already dark. Tang Zhao was about to leave when he suddenly froze.
Next to him was Jiang Shenyi, who suddenly blocked the way.
Jiang Shenyi asked curiously: "What?"
Tang Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled out a silk ribbon from his sleeve, took out a pen, turned the ribbon over, and wrote something quickly on it.
Jiang Shenyi was beside him, and in the blink of an eye, he saw words popping up on the front of the ribbon, as if there was an invisible pen writing. He recognized that it was a kind of communication device that had been developed and was temporarily used exclusively for Yunzhou Yamen. It was used to transmit confidential information. It was held on both sides, so that one side could write on the other side and the other side could see. At this time, it must be someone within the Yunzhou government who suddenly received the message, and it was confidential information.
Jiang Shenyi was an external expert, so it was inconvenient for him to read internal news. He would know what he should know, and he would not be interested in what he shouldn't know. He was just curious: Why didn't Tang Zhao read the news first, but wrote behind his back first? Can you write a reply without reading the letterhead?
Unexpectedly, after writing two words, Tang Zhao paused as he picked up his pen, as if his train of thought was stuck.
"well……"
After a pause, he failed to continue his train of thought, and finally gave up after writing only two words. Jiang Shenyi was watching from the side, and there seemed to be one word: "old".
Tang Zhao gave up writing and turned over to read the text on the front. He frowned and said, "Why did this old guy suddenly go crazy?"
As he spoke, he rolled up the ribbon and said to everyone: "Information came from the inside. Xing Cang sent Xing Twelve to ambush Xing Wu. Naturally, we have to protect the people the enemy wants to kill. Let me go."
Everyone was shocked. On the one hand, they were surprised that Xing Cang suddenly made a move, and the killing move was directed at one of his own people - Xing Wu was considered one of his own people brought by Xing Cang, not to mention that he had not defected to Jinwu. , even if you take refuge in someone with the title of master and slave, it is natural, Xing Cang has no reason to do anything. If this person makes a sudden move, is he going to break up?
On the other hand, I am also surprised: Isn’t the insider of the Prosecution and Prefecture Division in Zongliang Mountain? How could he know Xing Cang's actions in time? Xingwu had just set off, and it must have only taken a moment for Xingcang to give the order. Could it be that the insiders were the few servants who followed Xingcang? Has Tang Zhao already communicated quietly today?
Jinwu said: "Xing Wu is going to the Gangliang Mountain. I advise you not to go. Your sword is like sunshine, and it is too eye-catching in a place like the Gangliang Mountain. Change someone."
Tang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's ask Miss Ling to come."
Apart from Tang Zhao and Jin Wu, the strongest one here is Ling Baoyu. He is a standard swordsman and can crush swordsmen. Her ability is also very suitable for taking action in Mengliang Mountain, and it is the most concealed. Depending on the situation, she can choose to show up or become invisible, so that she can adapt to changes.
Ling Baoyu agreed: "Okay, just save Xing Wu and kill Xing Twelve, right?"
Tang Zhao stuffed a distant magic weapon into the white fox's ear and said: "That's it for the time being. The situation may change. Let's keep in touch at any time."
The white fox climbed out of the window and left, and everyone dispersed after their own tasks. Before Tang Zhao left, Jinwu asked: "What did you want to write just now? Who are you writing it to?"
Tang Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know."
