Mr. Zhu continued to look at Xiao Liu, shook his head and sighed for a long time.
"They look alike! They are so similar! Especially the feeling you give off is that you are both confident with a touch of modesty. However, his is laziness with a touch of indifference. And you are... There is a hint of dominance in the plainness.”
"Yeah." Mr. Zhu's words made Xiaoliu's heart skip a beat.
Mr. Zhu didn't notice Xiao Liu's change of mind at that moment, and continued to explain with a smile.
"But this is normal. He has followed the old man to learn Taoism since he was a child, and he has really looked down upon fame and fortune. And Deputy Chief Yan has just killed a thief to become famous, so it is inevitable that he has some domineering air in him."
"In addition, the difference in your appearance also gives people different feelings. Although you are similar in body shape, you are different in appearance. One is elegant and handsome, and the other is cheerful and generous."
"Haha, I'm not boasting. That student of Lao Chen is so cool and handsome, he's the only one I've seen in my life. It's said that he even won the top prize in the lottery later on."
When Mr. Zhu talked about his student, he talked endlessly, and the pride in his heart could not be suppressed. It was obvious that he was the most proud disciple in his life.
"Third Flower?" Xiaoliu was also a little surprised when he heard this. There are countless students in the world, but only one can become Third Flower every three years. Unexpectedly, one of Mr. Zhu's students would win this honor.
At this moment, Xiaoliu couldn't help but become interested in Mr. Zhu's students. "I wonder who this master disciple of Mr. Zhu is?"
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around slightly, looked out the window quietly, and sighed lightly.
"Since Deputy Capt. Yan is a man in the world, he must have heard of his name. He once made a huge name in the world with a flying knife. But it's a pity, alas, I'm such a fool! His talent and character are both excellent, but he is only troubled by the word love. There is no perfect person in this world!"
Mr. Zhu couldn't help but sigh, but Mr. Zhu's words shocked Xiao Liu again.
He's handsome, handsome, has won the lottery, and is famous for his flying knives. If these three things are combined, isn't it?
"Could it be that your disciple's surname is Li?" Xiao Liu asked in disbelief.
Mr. Zhu nodded lightly, and just when Xiao Liu was about to ask further questions, a shout suddenly came from outside the room.
"Deputy Yan arrests the head! Deputy Yan arrests the head!"
Xiao Liu recognized that this was the voice of the county government official. He quickly stood up and looked at Mr. Zhu with his fists clasped.
"Sir, I'm afraid Xiaoliu may have something to do, so I have to leave first."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu waved his hand gently and smiled.
"It doesn't matter, business matters are important. Deputy Capt. Yan will go and do it first. But if you have time in the future, I would like to invite Deputy Capt. Yan to come and sit in the humble house more often, chat with the old man, and relieve his boredom."
After hearing Mr. Zhu's words, Xiao Liu responded quickly.
"That's such an honor. Xiaoliu really has a lot to ask for advice from Sir. If I have time in the future, I will definitely come and listen to Sir's teachings."
Mr. Zhu smiled when he heard this.
"The old man won't stay any longer. Deputy Yan will arrest him."
"Sir, take care, Xiao Liu, take your leave!"
Xiao Liu clasped his fists and resigned.
Looking at Xiao Liu's leaving figure, Mr. Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to raise his hand to stroke his beard, he remembered that his beard had been burned, so he had to put it down calmly.

"Brother Zhou, what's the emergency?"
After Xiaoliu walked out of the bamboo house, he saw Yamen Zhou waiting outside the fence.
"Deputy Yan's arrest is a happy event, a big happy event. The gift prepared by Lou Magistrate County for you has arrived. Please come back to the county office with me to have a look." Zhou Yamen said happily.
"Oh, I wonder what it is that makes Brother Zhou so happy?"
Xiao Liu couldn't help but asked curiously after hearing this. He was also very interested in this mysterious gift.
However, Yamen Zhou deliberately kept it secret and refused to say anything.
"Deputy Capt. Yan, just follow me back and have a look. I will keep it to your satisfaction. You must know that this is a reward from Lou Magistrate County alone, not even Capt. Xing."
"Oh!" Xiao Liu became more curious after hearing this, and he quickly walked towards the county government office with Zhou Yamen.
After they left, a woman also hurried here after a while.
After questioning Mr. Zhu, the woman also ran towards the county government office.
Mr. Zhu looked at the woman's running back and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
————————————————————————————
At the gate of the county government office, Xiao Liu not only saw the gift prepared by Lou Zhixian for him, but also Lou Zhixian and his master were there.
"I've met Lou Magistrate." Xiao Liu quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
"It's okay, no need to be polite. Come, how about taking a look at the mount I have prepared for you?"
Lou Zhixian quickly interrupted Xiao Liu's salute and pointed to a horse beside him.
Only then did Xiao Liu realize that the gift prepared for him by Lou Zhixian was actually a horse, a bay-red horse!
This horse is very handsome, with eyes as bright as copper bells. When Xiao Liu and the others gathered around to look at it, it also looked sideways at Xiao Liu and the others, as if it seemed quite humane.
And its character is also very docile. It doesn't feel disgusted when Lou Zhixian and Xiaoliu touch it.
After looking around, Lou Zhixian nodded with satisfaction, and he nodded to the steward beside him.
"Well, yes, this horse is very good. You shopkeeper Hao is very thoughtful."
This person was the person in charge of the horse business under Shopkeeper Hao. When Shopkeeper Hao heard that Magistrate Lou wanted to rent horses, he quickly asked him to bring the horses over in person.
When he heard the compliment from Magistrate Lou, he quickly responded.
"Thank you Magistrate Lou for the compliment. This horse was carefully selected by our shopkeeper Hao. It is also among the upper class in our Feilong Valley. And the most important thing is that this horse is docile and very easy to ride."
Hearing this, Magistrate Lou nodded again and asked Xiao Liu.
"What do you think about Deputy Yan arresting the head?"
When Xiao Liu heard this, he quickly replied with satisfaction.
"This horse is very handsome, and it seems to have a good understanding of human nature. It is really a good horse."
Lou Zhixian also smiled when he saw that Xiao Liu was satisfied.
"In this case, then this horse will be your mount from today on. I hope Deputy Yan can ride this horse to protect the peace of the people of Seven Heroes Town."
After hearing what Lou Zhixian said, Xiao Liu had already guessed it, but he still responded happily.
"Yes, thank you sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Seeing Xiao Liu's attitude, Lou Zhixian nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, in that case, the rest will be left to you."
Seeing that the matter here was settled, Lou Zhixian also walked back to the county office. He hadn't figured out how to write the letter yet? I have to go back and continue to worry.
"It's my lord." Master Qian responded quickly.
"Farewell, Your Excellency!" Everyone also hurriedly bid farewell to Lou Zhixian.
Next, the master and shopkeeper Hao discussed the price. Shopkeeper Hao originally didn't dare to charge a penny.
But the master knew what kind of person Lou Zhixian was, so a strange scene occurred next. The price for buying horses was increased, and the price for selling horses was reduced.
In the end, after some weird price concessions from both parties, the two settled the deal at the market price.
While they were negotiating the price, Xiao Liu was asking the groom on the side about the precautions and methods of riding a horse. He had never ridden a horse before.
