The black figure slowly took out the dagger, and just when he was about to open the door bolt, another older figure stood beside him.
"who?"
The black shadow retreated quickly in shock, shooting the dagger in his hand at the old figure.
With a "ding" sound, the dagger was nailed to the door, and the old figure instantly appeared behind the black shadow.
artistic conception!
The black shadow was horrified, and just as he was about to evacuate quickly, a big hand grabbed his ankle.
The old figure clenched his right hand hard, and the black shadow instantly hit the ground like a ball.
"boom!"
With a powerful and heavy blow, the black shadow was nailed to the ground like a dehydrated fish.
There was a "squeak" sound, and Xu Que pushed open the window and looked outside with confused eyes.
"Who is it?" Xu Que rubbed his eyes: "Why are you not sleeping so late at night?"
No one responded to him, and it was as if the battle never happened.
Is this really sleepy?
Are you hallucinating?
Xu Que closed the window in a daze and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
North courtyard wing
This is a place where no servants are allowed, and it is also the residence of Butler Liu Bo.
A man dressed in black and covered with injuries was tied to a pillar.
With a "splash" sound, a basin of cold water was poured on the man.
The man in black woke up with a frightened expression. He knew without even thinking that he had fallen into the hands of a master.
"Identity!" Uncle Liu threw it into the wooden basin and looked at the man in black with a calm expression.
"Mingdelou, A-character killer." The man in black answered truthfully.
Uncle Liu nodded. He was very satisfied with the man's answer. He pulled a thin line beside him. After a while, two burly men walked in.
"Take the third one away." Uncle Liu stood up and said.
"Yes." The two burly men held up the man in black and left the room.
After the three people left, a small door was slowly pushed open, and Xu Mao walked out.
"One a day, this Qu Zhongyi's son is really interesting." Xu Maocai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The struggle of the juniors should not be like this. They broke the rules time and time again." Liu Bo said with cupped hands.
"Yes, if you break the rules, there is no need to follow them. Find a way to let Que'er know that since he is so close to An Ye, let him do it himself." Xu Maocai said.
"Yes, sir." Uncle Liu sent Xu Maocai away, turned around and flew away from Xu Mansion.
…
The next morning, Xu Que got up very late. He didn't sleep very well yesterday. He always felt a chill on his back. As for whether he had dreamed or not...he also forgot.
"Xin'er!" Xu Que opened the door: "Help me get a basin of water to wash my face."
Just after Xu Que finished speaking, Xin'er walked in carrying a large wooden basin.
"So fast?" Xu Que was a little surprised.
"Brother, are you a lazy person?" Xin'er pouted and said, "I prepared this water an hour ago. I wanted to ask you to get up, but Hong'er didn't let you, saying that there are differences between men and women. Yes, I can’t enter your room randomly anymore.”
Hearing what the little girl said, Xu Que looked at it carefully and almost laughed.
"Brother, why are you laughing?" Xiner looked at Xu Que with some dissatisfaction.
"It's nothing. It will take at least seven or eight years for the little bean sprouts to develop. It's okay." Xu Que replied, holding back a smile.
Xin'er didn't understand anyway, so she put the towel aside and ran out.
"Where are you going?" Xu Que asked standing at the door.
"Sister Hong'er has to make steamed buns today. She said you were being recalcitrant and asked me to help."
Damn it!
Xu Que was so surprised that he didn't even bother to wash his face and ran towards the kitchen courtyard.
When he passed Xin'er, Xin'er was a little confused.
"Brother, are you still cooking today?"
"What the hell, that's old noodles, you can't make steamed buns directly!" Xu Que said a word and hurried to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Hong'er and two servants were making noodles. They were working very hard at the moment because they hadn't eaten enough of yesterday's buns.
"stop!"
"Young Master." Hong'er was a little shocked: "Why are you here?"
"If I don't come, you will be punished."
Xu Que stepped forward and found that the old noodles had been mixed into the new noodles by Hong'er...
"Fortunately, it wasn't steamed in a pot, otherwise this old noodle would have turned gray."
Xu Que divided a large portion of the dough, and then put that large portion of dough into the basin.
"Master, these noodles are not enough." Hong'er said.
"That is old flour, and it is also fermented yeast. When you want to make steamed buns in the future, you can directly use a piece of old flour as yeast. Divide some more according to the amount I just gave, and repeat the process. Every time you make steamed buns in the future, there will be yeast. Eat bread."
Hong'er and everyone else looked confused and had no idea what Xu Que was talking about about fermentation, yeast, etc...
Xu Que was speechless, but he patiently said it again and even demonstrated the steps. After Hong'er and others fully understood, Xu Que breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Xu Que was about to leave, Xin'er asked, "Brother, are you going to have breakfast? Or lunch?"
Xu Que looked at the sky with a look of helplessness: "Let's have lunch!"
Back in the room, Xu Que washed his face and was about to change clothes when Uncle Liu walked in.
Uncle Liu talked a lot in Xu Que's room, and Xu Que frowned. He never thought that there was a stronghold in Mingde Tower in Nanfeng Prefecture.
After Uncle Liu finished explaining the master's affairs, he told Xu Que about the sergeants trained by the Xu family outside. Although there were not many of them, they were considered to be the best in the world.
After sending Uncle Liu away, Xu Que thought about how to launch his plan.
In fact, what Xu Que didn't know was that his bounty had been withdrawn in the capital, but Nanfeng Prefecture hadn't been notified yet, so three killers came in three days!
At noon, after Xu Que finished his meal, he waited in the study for the person who came from Anxiang.
When a figure climbed over the window and came to Xu Que, Xu Que was a little stunned.
"How did you come?"
"Why can't I come?" The woman in black looked at Xu Que with a smile.
"No... aren't you in charge of the capital? Why did you come to Nanfengzhou?" Xu Que asked with some confusion.
"The Incense Master said she would wait for you in the capital, so she sent me to Nanfeng Prefecture." The woman in black replied.
Xu Chuanmao nodded, feeling quite shocked in his heart. He never expected that the Xiang Master would be sitting in the capital waiting for him!
"Is there something urgent about hanging up your three-section jade pendant?" the woman in black asked.
Xu Chuanmao nodded, took out a piece of folded rice paper and pushed it to the other party.
The woman in black picked up the rice paper, and when she saw the content on it, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"There are two Mingdelou strongholds. One is at Yanjiu Villa in this county, and the other is in Bixuan Mountain in Linxian County. They seem to be a group of bandits, but they are actually people from Mingdelou."
"Are there enough manpower?" Xu Que asked.
It should be no problem to attack Yanjiu Villa in a sneak attack, but if you want to take over Bixuan Mountain, I'm afraid there are currently insufficient manpower.
"Follow me to a place tonight, and I'll ask Uncle Liu to lend us some people." Xu Que looked at the other person and said.
"Junwu?" the woman in black asked curiously.
"Absolutely." Xu Cao nodded: "They are veterans who survived the battlefield in the past, and now they can also be regarded as rangers."
Xu Que didn't dare to say private soldiers, he could only say that these people were Jianghu rangers.
The woman in black nodded, she naturally understood what Xu Que meant.
After seeing off the woman in black, Xu Que came to the desk and took out his diary.
No one could understand what he wrote, and no one would think it was some kind of classic. Even if it was accidentally lost, those who picked it up thought it was a ghost painting talisman.
…
At night, with the bright moon hanging high, Uncle Liu drove his car and waited outside the house.
When Xu Que appeared with the woman in black, Xu Que introduced: "Uncle Liu, she is Sister Ye from Anxiang. Sister Ye, this is Uncle Liu."
"I've met senior." The woman in black clasped her fists.
Uncle Liu nodded slightly: "Get in the car and let's go!"
Xu Que was very surprised. He thought Sister Ye was already very powerful. Unexpectedly, she actually called Uncle Liu a senior. So how powerful is Uncle Liu? …
As the carriage left the county, the gate of the county slowly closed.
Seeing that it was already the curfew time, Uncle Liu drove the carriage and said, "Tonight, we can only spend the night outside."
"It's okay, I just want to experience camping." Xu Que looked at the sky with a smile.
