The man in black pursed his lips disdainfully: "So what, it's still an ant, if I want him to die, he will have to die." At best, it's a faster ant. For us, it doesn't make a difference. Since it's the Xiu family, let's follow, find a place with fewer people, and kill them all. Leave one or two and ask them what they are going to do when they go to Xiu's house. Is it Jing Shilu's order? ”

Saying that, the man in black was about to follow Zhao Hong and his party.

but was stopped by the man in white.

"No, these people won't know about Jing Shilu, Jing Shilu came secretly, only his pet knows. The rest are not clear. Don't make a fuss. ”

"Wow, that's a nuisance. The man in black snorted, turned around and left, "Let's go to the town's casino." It's been a long time since I've gambled, and I'm really a little itchy. ”

The man in white glanced at Zhao Hong and his party who were far away, and followed the man in black towards the casino.

Zhao Hong came to the mansion of the Xiu family and met Xiuji.

Shuji is no longer young. But he is handsome, his skin is white and tender, and he is well maintained.

Coupled with the long-term use of natural materials and earth treasures to maintain the body, it looks like he is in his twenties.

Shuji leaned back in his chair, holding a cup in his hand, and was looking at the water in the cup in a daze, looking very tired.

"Young Master Xiuji, this is the person recommended by Xiuqing, and it is said that he has the ability to repair calligraphy and painting works. ”

"Well, got it. ”

Zhao Hong's arrival did not cheer up Xiuji.

Xiuji didn't talk to Zhao Hong politely, just lifted his eyelids, glanced at Zhao Hong lightly, and then returned his gaze to the cup in his hand.

"I have a group of paintings and calligraphy here, because I was careless, and they were destroyed by swords, these paintings and calligraphy are my treasures, maybe to others, they are not simply a city, but they are very important to me. So I hope to borrow your abilities and mend it. When the day comes, if I am satisfied, I will be grateful. Money and land, as long as you open your mouth, I will never refuse, and even if I take you into the city of thorns, there is no problem. I hope sir doesn't let me down. ”

Xiuji's words were emotionless, obviously he had already said these words while gesturing to his subordinates, signaling his subordinates to take Zhao Hong away.

From beginning to end, Xiuji didn't give Zhao Hong a chance to speak.

The people below took Zhao Hong to an empty room, which was full of things needed to repair calligraphy and paintings.

Paper, paints, potions, etc. The whole nine yards.

"Sir, stay here for the time being, we know that we can't be disturbed to do such delicate things. We will definitely try to keep this place as quiet as possible, so that the gentleman can do things with peace of mind. If the gentleman needs anything, he can just ask for it. We try to be satisfied. ”

Zhao Hong looked at the environment, and it was indeed quiet.

"There's nothing to complain about, but I'm a person who likes to drink. I'm more attentive when I've drunk, can you get me some drinks?"

"No problem, I'll go and prepare. ”

"And I have an old man in your Xiu family, named Xiu Qingzhi, since I am here today, I want to meet him, I don't know where he is?"

"This ......" a look of embarrassment flashed on the man's face, and then he said, "I can't be the master of this, but don't worry, sir, I'll bring your words to Brother Xiuqingzhi later." ”

"Oh well. ”

Zhao Hong nodded, and then entered the house by himself.

This time, Zhao Hong was not like the original group of people, who chose calligraphy and paintings for restoration.

Instead, it has been placed on the table.

A picture, a book.

Both of these things hurt a little badly.

The painting is fine, but the book is a nuisance, it is thumb-thick, and it is pierced through the middle.

Because the paper here is generally thick because of the workmanship and material problems.

Zhao Hong has seen very light and thin paper, as thin as cicada wings, and the thickness of this paper is about the same as silk. It's not too soft, but the toughness is still good, so it won't be damaged when folded.

Even so, no one knows any of these things.

Paintings and calligraphy are generally squared, and even if it is to save space, those larger paintings are at most slightly curled and will not be curled into several layers of cylinders.

Because the paper is very thick, a thumb-sized book is only about 20 pages.

But even if it's only about 20 pages, it's a lot of work to fix.

Zhao Hong didn't immediately fix these things, but sat on a chair and fiddled with those tools.

Not long after, a person pushed the door in, put down the wine that Zhao Hong wanted, and withdrew, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Zhao Hong watched this person come in and go out, but he didn't speak.

I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it all.

Zhao Hongcai began to look at the book and the painting carefully.

"Without the slightest trace of aura, it can't be used as a material for making spiritual ink. ”

There are many reasons for the lack of aura, perhaps because it is broken and consumed.

"I don't know if it's the same for other things. It would be nice to come across a treasure like "Riptide Chart". ”

Zhao Hong gently stroked the painting with his hand, mobilized the invisible thin lines formed by the potential, and began the repair work.

In the evening, someone came to Zhao Hong.

"Sir, Brother Xiuqingzhi has difficulty moving, so let me come to you and take you to meet him. ”

Zhao Hong casually put away a knife for cutting paper on the table, hid it on his body, and followed the man out of the room.

However, he hid the knife with his back to the man, so he was not noticed.

It didn't take much effort, and Zhao Hong came to Xiuqingzhi's residence.

Xiu Qingzhi has his own place to live in the Xiu family's mansion. This shows that he is valued.

Xiufeng lives in a house outside the Xiu family's mansion.

Xiu Qingzhi was lying on the bed at the moment, his face was colorless, and he looked very painful, and when he saw Zhao Hong come in, he had a happy expression on his face.

"Don't move, lie down, your injuries are worse than I thought. ”

"It doesn't matter if I hurt me, I will be fine after recuperating for a while......"

Xiu Qingzhi began to talk to Zhao Hong, and said some unreasonable words, and after the person who sent Zhao Hong over left, Xiu Qingzhi's face was no longer indifferent just now.

He spoke in a very low voice.

"He's gone. ”

"He's gone. ”

Xiu Qingzhi was very excited, and grabbed Zhao Hong's clothes: "I know, you are a master, please save me!"

"Someone is trying to kill you, is it Shuiji?"

"It's not Young Master Shuji, it's someone else. The eldest lady died, it was the young master Xiuji who did it, and the young master Xiuji took out the eldest lady's head in public, saying that the eldest lady delayed his repair of calligraphy and painting, and he wanted to make an example. ”
