The two female disciples bowed at the same time: "Senior Sister Cao, please give me your instructions."
"Help me check, Xu Que from the Xu Mansion in Zheyang County, and by the way, check the other people in the Xu Mansion..."
Xu Que?
The beautiful woman on the left was slightly startled, her face looked a bit off, and she quickly bowed and said: "Senior sister, the Xu Que of Zheyang County you are talking about is the one who moved to Zheyang County from the Duke Xu's Mansion in the capital?"
Cao Mutong turned around and asked, "Lu Wanqing, do you know him?"
"Tell me, senior sister, if it is this person, junior sister really knows better." Lu Wanqing replied with a complicated expression.
"Oh? Then tell me, I know what kind of person he is." Cao Mutong asked calmly.
"If this person is the same person as the Xu Que that Senior Sister said, then Senior Sister may be disappointed. This person is a dandy and useless person who is incompetent in both literature and martial arts."
Cao Mutong was very surprised. This was completely different from what the sect leader and others said, and it was impossible for his grandfather to find such a dude for himself...
"You know him very well?" Cao Mutong asked doubtfully.
Lu Wanqing did not answer, but her expression became more complicated...
Another female disciple next to him smiled softly: "Senior Sister Cao, let me tell you, if the Xu Que in your mouth and the Xu Que in Junior Sister Lu's mouth are the same person, it would be a coincidence, because Junior Sister Lu and this Xu Que are the same person. Que has had a baby kiss since he was a child."
Cao Mutong was slightly startled and kept looking at Lu Wanqing...
Lu Wanqing hurriedly defended: "Senior Sister Cao, please don't get me wrong. My family has broken off the marriage with the Xu family, and I have no relationship with him."
Broken off the marriage? Cao Mutong glanced at Lu Wanqing's anxious expression and said, "Are you sure? The Xu Que you are talking about is Xu Que from the Xu family in Zheyang County? Is he the literary genius?"
Lu Wanqing raised her eyes with questions on her face: "Senior Sister Cao, are you mistaken? Xu Que is not a scholar. He was sent to the Taoist sect a year ago. How can he be a scholar...and a genius?"
"Yes." The female disciple next to him also said quickly: "I guess the Xu Que that Senior Sister Cao and Junior Sister Lu are talking about are not the same person. The power of literature and art is something that many people can't get."
Cao Mutong noticed something was wrong. It should be said that the place and the person were right, but it was not the same person? Is this possible?
"Then have you ever heard of a kind of wine called Yellow River Drunk?"
Lu Wanqing and the female disciple spoke at the same time. They naturally knew the legend of this wine, and now the price of this wine has been sold at sky-high prices. It is simply a luxury product in wine. Once it was born, it swept the entire wine world. Some people even said , this wine is more precious than Jinshi wine. The sect finally got a jar from the demon clan a few days ago, but the sect leader took it to invite people...
Cao Mutong looked at the two junior sisters calmly, but her heart was beating non-stop. At this moment, she finally understood why the sect leader wanted this wine recipe. If this wine could be brewed, the income would really be like a scourge. …
But what made her even more curious was Xu Que. She learned from Elder Yuan Qing that Xu Que was a literary genius who could not only write good poems, but also brew wine like Yellow River Drunk. If the other party If you really have a relationship with yourself, then...
"Senior Sister Cao? Senior Sister Cao?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Cao Mutong looked at Lu Wanqing.
"Senior sister, do we still need to investigate this person?" Lu Wanqing asked.
"If it's as you said, then there's no need. After all, I'm not interested in a dude." Cao Mutong said calmly.
In fact, Cao Mutong had a small selfish intention after hearing Lu Wanqing's words. After all, she didn't want the other party to know that she was also related to Xu Que...
After the two left, Cao Mutong immediately took out the communication device. She wanted to know who Xu Que was.
On the other side, Cao Qing, who was far away in the ancestral palace in the capital, was fishing. Suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and a floating light rose from above his head, turning into a picture.
"Baby girl, do you have anything urgent to do with grandpa?" Cao Qing put down the broken fishing rod and asked.
"Grandpa, I want to know if you have arranged a marriage for me?" Cao Mutong asked bluntly.
"Oh? You know everything?"
Cao Qing was very surprised, because very few people knew about this matter. Suddenly, he realized that when he and Zu Shanhe went to Qiushui Dao Sect, they mentioned it...
"Yes, the sect master told me." Cao Mutong said: "The sect gave me a task and asked me to ask Xu Que for a wine recipe. What do you think I should do?"
What?
Cao Qing was stunned. He never expected that Qiushui Dao Sect would be so shameless, but then he understood what was going on.
"What are you going to do?" Cao Qing did not answer directly, but instead asked his granddaughter.
"I don't plan to ask for it, because it doesn't belong to the sect. If I try to rob it, it would be against my Taoism." Cao Mutong answered truthfully.
Cao Qing nodded slightly, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. After all, Qiushui Daozong's training of his granddaughter was obvious to all. If he really refused, wouldn't it be a bit too much?
"Mu Tong, actually everything has two sides. Grandpa thinks there are some things. It would be better for you to ask him, Mr. Xu..."
Afterwards, Cao Qing explained what he meant, and even told Cao Mutong to be mentally prepared. After all, Xu Xiaozi was too arrogant. He was afraid that his baby cabbage would be stolen before the two got married. Already...
At first, Cao Mutong just nodded slightly and listened, but as he went on, something became more and more wrong.
Is she a simple person who doesn't understand anything? Obviously not...
"Okay, grandpa, I understand everything." Cao Mutong said impatiently.
"Mu Tong, don't think that grandpa is nagging you. That kid is too naughty. Remember, if it works, it's good. If it doesn't, don't put any burden on you." Cao Qing warned.
Cao Mutong turned off the communication device, took a deep breath, and looked outside.
…
Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
Xu Maocai and others were sitting in the main hall discussing matters, and Xu Que happened to walk in at this moment.
He is really not idle these days. He goes to the new city during the day to guide the construction issues, and when he comes back at night, he has to discuss the upcoming war with everyone.
After discussing things with everyone, he would go back to his room to study various things...
"Young Master, this is the battle report sent by Nanfeng City. Please read it." Li An handed over the letter sent by Ma Guanxing.
"This Beimang is really powerful, beyond my expectations." Xu Que looked at the rescue report.
"Yes, I thought that Maguanxing and the others could hold off longer, but I didn't expect that Ugeda's attack this time was so fierce. I'm afraid Nanfeng City will be broken in four days." Li An said with emotion.
"It's okay, that's enough." Xu Que put down the battle report and asked, "How's it going in Yangcheng?"
"Zhang Feng is now stationed in Yangcheng. If Beimang's army attacks with all its strength, it can hold on for at most half a month." Xu Maocai said.
"Father, Uncle Li An, it's time to let the uncle and the others come out." Xu Que said.
"It's been less than two months, do you plan to use Yangcheng as the defensive line?" Liu Bo asked.
"No, the defensive line is still our Zheyang New City." Xu Que thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Li An, you think of a way to get Ma Guanxing to evacuate Nanfeng City, and take as many soldiers as you can. If that doesn't work, let him bribe Li Changfeng. Turn to guard Yangcheng, if Li Changfeng disagrees, ask Ma Guanxing to increase the bribe!"
"No!" Xu Maocai was the first to object: "Who is Li Changfeng? You asked him to evacuate with Ma Guanxing. Are you trying to show favor to our Xu family?"
"Father……"
Before Xu Que could explain, Xu Maocai immediately waved his hand to interrupt Xu Que's words.
Everyone understands what Xu Que means, but this is related to the reputation of the Xu family. Even if they die in battle, they will not show kindness to those people. This is integrity, this is character!
Li An glanced at Xu Que, then at Xu Maocai, and suddenly he seemed to understand something...
"Second Master, the young master didn't mean to show his kindness, but to take advantage of me!" Li An explained quickly.
