Xue Ke straightened his back, glanced at Xue Ming, and thought to himself: "He is nothing more than this. If I become the team leader, I will definitely be better than him!"
Xue Ke wanted to think about it, but he immediately replied to Xue Pu: "Manager Xue Pu, I do have some clues here, but I can't confirm it yet. I hope you can give me a few more days so that I can confirm it again. , so that we can give you the most accurate answer.”
After hearing this, Xue Pu nodded with satisfaction. He still recognized his nephew's ability to do things. Otherwise, he would not agree to help him win the position of village chief.
However, when other Bloodmen were present, Xue Pu still forbade Xueke to call his uncle, so as to avoid being gossiped by other Bloodmen. Moreover, if the news reached the ears of the Baron, something would probably happen.
Xue Ming saw Xue Pu nodding to express satisfaction with Xue Ke's answer, and then curled his lips. He knew that Xue Pu and Xue Ke were uncle-nephew relationships, so he felt that Xue Pu was partial to Xue Ke.
However, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only nod and praise Xue Ke's outstanding ability.
Xue Pu said with a smile: "No matter who of you two finds the exact location in the end, the finder will be credited with a credit, and I will definitely praise him in front of the baron afterwards. If the baron has anything The value of the reward will definitely not be low, so you must work hard to find it!"
In order to make Xue Ming and Xue Ke work harder, Xue Pu began to give them chicken blood, and the effect was obvious.
A flush suddenly appeared on the pale faces of Xue Ming and Xue Ke, and excitement appeared on their faces. However, in order not to make a fool of themselves in front of Xue Pu, they were trying their best to control their emotions.
Xue Pu was very satisfied when he saw this, because his goal had been achieved, and it was time to see the results.
Afterwards, they started drinking and talking again.
Stay until late at night.
Xue Pu left Xue Ke alone in the main tent and chatted with him secretly.
"You told me before that there were doubts about the origins of the Blood Jade mother and her son. Is that true?" Xue Pu said.
"Indeed, I have conducted a secret investigation before. The origins of other blood people in the village can be traced. Only the mother and son Xueyu were brought directly into the village by the old man from Xuequan. Moreover, their previous experiences They are all blank, and besides, Xue Jun is still a little bastard, which makes it even more interesting." Xue Ke nodded.
"Yes, but this alone cannot destroy the blood fountain. It is best to come up with a more appropriate method!" Xue Pu reminded.
Xue Ke rolled his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "Uncle, please don't worry. I have a method that can at least make the old man in Xuequan suffer for a while, but I still need uncle's help to coordinate."
"Oh? Let's hear it!" Xue Pu said with great interest.
"That's it..." Xue Ke began to tell.
After listening to Xue Ke's narration, Xue Pu took a deep look at him and said, "I didn't expect you to have a lot of thoughts. This plan is still very feasible. I will help you improve it. However, I I have to be more careful with you from now on, don’t let you fool me into counting money for you!”
Xue Ke was frightened by Xue Pu's words and said quickly: "Uncle, we are related by blood. You can come and help me. I'm grateful before it's too late. How could I trick you? You say no." "
"Haha, I'm joking with you. You don't have the guts to trick me." Xue Pu said with a smile.
Xue Ke could only smile with a smile at this time, but in his heart he scolded all Xue Pu's ancestors. But then he thought, those were his ancestors too, so he stopped scolding them immediately.
After the uncle and nephew talked for a while, Xue Ke left the tent and returned to the village.
Xue Pu looked at Xue Ke's leaving figure, frowned slightly, and then went to rest.
…
Three days later, the city lord of Blood Slave City sent his chief steward Xue Fan to the guard camp and waited for orders in Xue Pu's main tent.
"Hello, General Manager Xue Pu, the city lord asked me to come and be at your disposal. If you have any orders, just tell me." Xuefan stood in front of Xue Pu respectfully and said.
"Well, very good. You have worked hard all the way. How is the situation of the orcs now?" Xue Pu is still more concerned about how much time Xue Brand can buy himself.
"Right now Captain Xuelao is working with the city defense governor to set up an ambush for the orcs in two groups. Moreover, the food to lure them to the bait is already on the way to be transported. I think there should be results in the near future." Fan replied.
"Well, it seems to be going well so far. I hope this time can teach the orcs a profound lesson." Xue Pu pondered for a moment, then changed the subject: "When you came, you didn't disturb the other blood people, right? !?"
"After receiving the instructions from the city lord, my subordinates secretly left the city. There were many detours on the way, and no other bloodies were found to be following them," Xue Fan replied.
"You are very good. Xue Wuji has a capable manager like you, so he should have a lot less worries at ordinary times." Xue Pu praised.
"Thank you, General Manager Xuefuan. I am only completing the orders issued by the city lord. They are all within my scope and I must complete them with all my heart." Xuefan said humbly.
"Well, I'm asking you to come this time. I believe Xue Wuji has already told you about the main task. I hope you can handle it properly." Xue Pu reminded.
"That's natural. I will definitely live up to your and the city lord's expectations." Xue Fan put his right hand into a fist on his left chest and bowed to Xue Pu.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. You go and meet with Xue Ke first. He will inform you of the specific plan in detail." After Xue Pu finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the inner tent.
Seeing Xue Pu stand up, Xue Fan greeted him respectfully and then turned around to look for Xue Ke.
…
That night, Xue Fan's figure appeared in the courtyard of Xue Quan, the head of Rafa Village.
"Who is it?" Xuequan ducked to the door of the house and said to the courtyard.
"Brother Xuequan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Maybe you have forgotten who I am." Xue Fan walked out of the darkness and came to Xuequan.
"Xue Fan is in charge, why do you have time to come to my place? Come, come into the house and talk in detail." After Xue Quan saw it was Xue Fan, he invited him into the house.
Xue Fan didn't see anyone outside, and immediately followed Xue Quan into the house.
Xuequan knew that since Xue Fan was here, he must have something important to do, so he closed the door, asked him to sit down, and poured tea.
The reason why Xuequan behaves like this is that Xue Fan is the steward who is responsible for coordinating matters in Blood Slave City, and all the food handed over by Rafa Village is handed over to him. Sometimes due to weather conditions, Rafa The village's food delivery time will be a few days later, and Xue Fan will not care about it with Xue Quan.
Therefore, Xuequan treats him as a friend. Although he has not yet reached the level of deep friendship, he will sometimes chat with him about innocuous topics or drink some old wine to maintain the friendship.
But this time Xue Fan came so suddenly, which really made Monk Xuequan Zhanger confused.
"I wonder what Brother Xuefan wants to do here?" Xuequan asked straight to the point.
Xue Fan also understands Xue Quan’s character. He doesn’t like to mince words when speaking, but likes to go straight, so he is not angry. After taking a sip of tea, he said: “Brother Xue Quan, I should be bothered by the arrival of the baron’s escort team recently. It’s not easy!”
After Xuequan took a deep look at Xue Fan, he said, "It's quite annoying, but what does this have to do with you?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with me, but someone with blood went to the city lord to report that you have hidden a mother and son secretly over the years. Moreover, the origins of the mother and son are unknown. Therefore, the city lord asked me to come and collect the pair. The mother and son will be taken to Blood Slave City for questioning. If there are no problems, they will be released and included in the household registration of Rafa Village. They will also be able to enjoy the treatment of villagers in the future. How do you think this matter should be handled?" Xue Fan asked. He explained his purpose of coming to the blood fountain.
"Who said that? Did the city lord only listen to one side of the story? Did he bully me for being old? It's useless?" Xuequan's fiery temper was suddenly ignited.
"Who else will be there? Of course they are the blood men outside the village. They come here to cause trouble. Even if you don't provoke them, they will come to you sooner or later. You see, don't we start with you? Someone around me has taken action."
Although Xue Fan came at the request of Xue Pu and the city lord Xue Wuji, he actually thought about the progress of Xue Quan, because he didn't want to destroy the relationship he had with Xue Quan over the years because of today's incident. The friendship established, so he said this.
"Is it Xue Pu?" Xue Quan's eyes began to spit fire.
"There's also Xue Ke, it's all his idea." Xue Fan answered.
However, when he saw Xuequan stood up and was about to rush out after listening, he immediately stepped forward and stopped Xuequan.
"Brother Xuequan, brother Xuequan! I know you want to go to them to settle accounts, but what's the point? What they want to catch most now is your fault. You'd better sit down and think about it first. !" Xue Fan said, pushing Xue Quan back to his seat and sitting down.
Xue Quan's anger was temporarily suppressed by Xue Fan's words. He sat in silence on his seat, but there was still a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Brother Xuequan, the only way now is to follow the city lord's wishes first and ask if everything is okay. However, even if something does happen, I will still be here. Although my authority is limited, at least It can also ensure that they will not be executed, don't worry about that!" Xue Fan explained to Xue Quan.
"Isn't there even a little room for maneuver?" Xuequan also knows the scope of Xuefan's authority, and being able to tell him the promise he just made is already very helpful.
However, there is one thing that Xuequan knows very well in his heart, that is, the origins of Xueyu mother and son are indeed not that simple. According to the empire's "inquiry" method, it is probably more likely to be a disaster than a disaster.
"Is there room for maneuver? Let me think about it." Xue Fan also lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
He really wanted to help Xuequan, but with Xue Pu and Xue Wuji watching this matter, he couldn't go too far.
After a while.
Xue Fan raised his head and said to Xue Quan: "Otherwise, this is just the inquiry stage anyway. I will take Xue Yu back to see the city lord first, and you will let Xue Yu's son pretend to be sick and you will take care of him. If a special situation occurs, I will also find a way to inform you. When the time comes, you can place the child in a secret place and hide for a while. What do you think of this approach?"
"Isn't there a better countermeasure?" Xuequan still refused to give up.
