Xue Mu listened to these words of tiger and wolf.
He almost choked on the soup in his bowl.
Seeing his hesitation, Leng Mei teased: "What? Don't you dare?"
"Sister has needs, so I will naturally help." Xue Mu said and stood up.
Leng Mei and him, one behind the other.
Go inside.
After entering the house, Xue Mu asked, "Sister Leng, where is it itchy?"
"You really believe me when I say it's itchy." Leng Mei laughed: "I asked you to come in because I wanted to touch my treasure for you."
"Baby?" Xue Mu was a little confused.
At this time, Leng Mei picked up the Yun Kuo knife from under the table.
She put it on the table and had to complain: "This knife is really heavy."
Then she looked at Xue Mu and explained: "I have polished this knife for you. It must be said that this knife can cut iron like clay."
Xue Mu carefully picked up the knife on the table and gently touched the blade with his fingers.
Although the condition of the knife cannot be seen, the sharpness of the blade alone is enough to tell that Leng Mei spent a lot of effort here.
He asked out of curiosity: "Sister Leng, when did you start grinding?"
"I grind in the morning, grind in the evening, and grind whenever I have time." Leng Mei said with a smile.
Xue Mu continued to ask: "I have always wanted to ask you, how do you recognize this knife? And the last time you helped me treat the wound, you could tell at a glance what kind of poison I was poisoned with?"
Leng Mei was calm and sat down.
He picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then replied: "Fool, my family is a bodyguard. I have seen these things since I was a child, so I am not surprised."
Xue Mu was a little surprised: "Sister Leng's home is a bodyguard agency?"
"Uh-huh." Leng Mei stood up, came to his side, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think your sister can do on her own after running away from marriage for so long? I can also do a few tricks~"
Xue Mu raised his hands and said respectfully: "Sister Leng is really amazing."
He took out his share of silver from his pocket and said to her: "Sister Leng, you have worked hard these days."
"Humph, it's good to know that I'm working hard~" Leng Mei pretended to be aggrieved.
However, she did not accept Xue Mu's money. Instead, she said: "When you have time, take more of your brothers to eat and drink. This will open up the relationship between the superiors and subordinates, and it will be easier to do things in the future."
"What Sister Leng said is true, Xue Mu will remember it." Xue Mu thanked her.
Seeing that he listened, Leng Mei deliberately walked up to him, turned her back to him and said, "Oh, my back is a little itchy, please help me scratch it~"
"where?"
"Reach over here."
"here?"
"Lower."
"Here?"
"Lower."
"If it goes down again..."
"Hey, yes, it's right here, scratch it with your little finger~"
Just like that, Xue Mu stood behind Leng Mei in the room with swaying candlelight.
Use your fingers to tickle her...
Ever since he learned that Leng Mei came from a bodyguard family, Xue Mu didn't have too many doubts.
After all, if you can say something like remembering to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates, you must know something about the so-called worldliness.
Xue Mu didn't think much and just meditated some more before going to bed.
Although he is not very strong now, his several narrow escapes have enriched his actual combat experience.
"Wait two days and the Demon Cult woman will come. Let's see if we can get some advantage from her."
...
Early the next morning.
Xue Mu got up on time and went to the prison as usual.
When I came to the front room, I smelled breakfast.
Sure enough, today is no longer plain porridge.
But noodles.
Tasting the craftsmanship, I guess it's Leng Meixia's noodles.
After eating and drinking, he didn't see two women coming out.
Thinking that they were tired from the past two days, he left home quietly.
Before he returned to Jingzhao Mansion, he heard familiar footsteps.
Sure enough, a voice came over.
"Sir~"
Xue Mu listened to the direction of the sound source and walked over.
When Liu Xiaodao saw Xue Mu coming, he looked around and said, "Sir, your ears are really good."
"What's wrong?" Xue Mu once told him that if he was looking for him, he should wait in the backyard when he got off duty in the evening.
If I come here early in the morning, something must be wrong.
Liu Xiaodao stopped talking and explained: "Sir, I went to the Xu Mansion again last night."
"You went again?" Xue Mu was a little surprised.
"Yes, according to my habit of looking for treasures, I looked up and down the rockery carefully."
"Tell the important point."
"Found nothing."
Xue Mu:......
He frowned and said, "You didn't tell me this specifically, did you?"
"Of course not. Later I entered the Xu Mansion and knocked on every floor tile. Suddenly I found that one of the floor tiles was hollow. What do you think?"
"Tell the important point."
"I found a booklet."
"What booklet?"
"I have no idea."
Liu Xiaodao immediately took it out, handed it to Xue Mu and said, "This booklet is sealed. I didn't dare to read it. I will give it to you as soon as I get it."
Xue Mu took the booklet and touched it. It was very thick. He asked again: "Are you sure you didn't read it?"
"I, Liu Xiaodao, swear that if I saw this, I would never eat a chicken butt in my life!"
Xue Mu heard him swear on the chicken's butt and concluded that he must not have peeked.
"You did a good job." Xue Mu took out some silver and handed it to Liu Xiaodao: "Okay, don't stay in the capital anymore, leave here."
"Okay, sir, let's get acquainted. I hope to see you again in the future!" Liu Xiaodao was not polite, took the silver and thanked him.
"Well, I hope you will take the right path in the future and not be caught again." Xue Mu reminded.
Liu Xiaodao chuckled: "Don't worry, sir, our son is the first to go back to Daqing! There is no way he will be caught again. If you come to Jianghuai in the future, remember to come to me, I will be waiting for you there. "
After hearing this, Xue Mu felt that it was very likely that he would see him again.
After all, Gambling Dog also said that he would never gamble again.
The yellow dog couldn't control his roots.
After Liu Xiaodao left, Xue Mu walked into the door of Jingzhao Mansion.
As soon as he entered, Nangong Xue behind him asked: "Who were you talking to just now?"
Xue Mu was startled and hurriedly explained: "Sir, a beggar just asked me to reward him with food money."
"You gave it?"
"Um."
After hearing this, Nangong Xue didn't say anything, so she nodded and said, "There are many beggars and swindlers on weekdays, so be careful of being deceived."
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me."
Xue Mu heard that Nangong Xue's tone was a little tired.
He didn't want to ask at first, but he still felt the need to care: "Your Excellency, you are very busy recently, aren't you?"
"What's wrong?" Nangong Xue asked.
"Just now, my Lord's tone seemed a little tired. I thought that Your Lordship has been busy with business recently," Xue Mu replied.
Nangong Xue didn't expect that he could guess it with just one or two sentences of his own, so she was a little surprised.
She nodded and said: "Recently, a group of bandits appeared on the official road. The imperial court has issued an order for us, the Divine Catcher Division, to quickly exterminate them."
"Then please be careful, sir." Xue Mu reminded.
Nangong Xue also nodded after hearing this: "Yes, I understand."
She originally wanted to ask Xue Mu if he had any good suggestions, but she finally shut up.
After all, he is not from the Divine Catcher Division, and he doesn't want to get involved in these things.
The two of them walked into the prison together, one behind the other.
But as soon as they entered, they heard bursts of wailing.
I could only hear voices coming from inside: "Sir! We were wronged!"
"It is absolutely impossible for an enemy undercover agent to appear in our Jingzhao Mansion Tiandou!!"
