......

As soon as Cui Mi came out of the room, he bumped into Xu Xiang.

"Which guy who doesn't have long eyes, doesn't know this son...... Huh? Xu Changsha? Cui Mi scolded, and only after stabilizing his body did he see clearly the person he hit.

Xu Xiang also pretended to be surprised, "Young Master Cui, how did I meet you here?" ”

Cui Mi was surprised and a little happy in her heart.

Although Xu Xiang painted him a lot of flatbread, his impression of Xu Xiang was still quite good. Moreover, since Xu Xiang left Ningdu, he has also come to Xu Mansion to look for him, but when he learned that he was far away, he always felt a little sorry in his heart.

Xu Changsha is really a wonderful person! Cui Mi thought to herself.

However, the chicken that was gnawed a few days ago was also closed, and the Xu Mansion also fell into a big lock.

This made him very unhappy, thinking that Xu Xiang had run away with the silver, but now that he saw Xu Xiang, he naturally wouldn't let him slip away easily, and he had to get a sum of money.

So, with the idea of asking each other for money, both of them came to the original store where the gnawed chicken was located.

"Xu Changsha, where have you been?" Since Xu Xiang helped him win back the silver in Chenghuan Pavilion last time, he still wanted to call Xu Xiang to go a few more times, but he found that Xu Xiang's people were no longer in Ningdu, and Mingjing, the owner of Chenghuan Pavilion, was not in Ningdu anymore.

"It's a long story, is Cui Gongzi hungry, why don't we find a place to drink two sips?"

"Okay!" The silver he won back last time was almost spent, and now that the money in Cui Yun's hand was used to pay the soldiers recruited by the family, he couldn't help but have the idea of gnawing chickens.

"Cui Gongzi, wait a minute, it will be fine soon."

Xu Xiang brought over the baked things, and prepared two jars of wine, which was not the fruit wine in his store, but a high-purity spirit.

"Cui Gongzi, this is a new food that I plan to launch recently, try it?" Xu Xiang handed him chopsticks, and then poured a full bottle of wine.

"Cui Gongzi will sit down for a while, and this time I specially prepared a new food for Cui Gongzi." He had already figured out how to deal with Cui Mi, no matter what, he would tie him up with food first.

So, he prepared a lot of all kinds of barbecues, including the charcoal-grilled oysters that came out recently.

The aroma of roasted oysters came, Cui Mi sniffed the aroma of oysters wafting in the air vigorously, and couldn't wait to say, "Xu Changsha, what are you making, why is it so fragrant?" ”

"It's an oyster, how's that? Doesn't it taste bad? ”

"How can oysters be so delicious?" Cui Mi didn't believe it, he knew about the river oysters, the shell of this kind of thing was as hard as a stone, and if you wanted to eat the meat inside, you had to smash it open.

At that time, barbecue had not yet appeared, and the cooking methods were nothing more than steaming and boiling, and the taste was naturally not good.

Cui Mi couldn't help it for a long time, so she took out the oyster meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth beautifully. Immediately he was amazed by this deliciousness, and the taste buds on his tongue seemed to bloom suddenly, making him have an ultimate enjoyment, which was comparable to dragon meat.

Of course, he had never eaten dragon meat, but he felt that this delicacy was simply unmatched.

"What is this? How is it so delicious? Cui Mi ate another one and asked curiously.

Xu Xiang is already so poor that he came to Cui Mi for "financing" this time, how could he ask him to get money from himself, he didn't plan to give it at all.

So he said quietly, "Cui Gongzi, drink first!" Drink! ”

Cui Mi saw that Xu Xiang helped him pour a full bottle of wine again, so he had to drink it.

Moreover, whether this kind of thing can be eaten or not, it does not form a food, so there are naturally fewer people who eat oysters. Even if the fishermen caught it, they threw it directly into the river.

"Come, come, drink!" Xu Xiang raised his glass.

Cui Mi took a sip of wine, smashed it twice, and started the topic, planning to ask for money, "Xu Changsha, where have you been these days?" Why don't the chickens open now, so what about my silver? ”

"Doom!" He burped, "My father is in charge of all the money, and I am running out of money." Even if you don't have any money...... You'll have to raise some for me, too. ”

Xu Xiang frowned, he came to pit his money this time, and now he has no money, and he still wants to ask himself for money?

This was beyond his expectations, in his eyes, the Cui family is the God of Wealth!

Subsequently, Xu Xiang found various reasons to persuade him to drink, and he didn't say a word about the money.

This wine is very strong, plus Cui Mi has already drunk a lot of wine in the Jade Pavilion, after three or five glasses, the whole person is a little shaky, and he can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.

Countless Xu Xiang appeared in his eyes, and he said drunkly: "Xu Changsha, I actually know...... You don't have any money! All your money is gone to the outcasts outside the city! Just ......"

Otherwise, who would use their own money to recruit troops for him?

Seeing that his plan was in vain, there was no way to get money from Cui Mi.

"I have to think of other ways." Xu Xiang thought helplessly.

"Why didn't your father give you the money?" Xu Xiang asked.

"Ahh And not those recruited soldiers! My father is now bent on following Captain Lin against the Ming Clan, and all the money is used to expand the army and horses. Who cares about my son! Cui Mi said grumblingly.

It seems that what Lin Chong said to me earlier was not an exaggeration, he really controlled these families and nobles.

Several people held their breath and waited for the night patrol soldiers to pass in front of them, and then quickly touched another courtyard.

The man at the head pointed at himself, then a few more people, and poked his hand in the other direction, and then pointed at four more people, and his finger poked downward.

It means that he took a few people to act, leaving four people here to answer.

Who is the richest in Ningdu City at the moment, it must be Lin Chong and Ming's side.

In the middle of the night, outside the Ming Palace, a group of soldiers wearing black night clothes to avoid the night patrol quietly flipped in.

These people seemed to be familiar with Ming's mansion for a long time, and after turning inside, they quickly found a dark place to hide.

The man on the roof stood up, his eyes scanning all directions, as if sensing something unusual.

"Someone!" He suddenly shouted.

Then, with the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of iron pieces on the armor clashing, a group of soldiers with torches rushed out of the courtyard.

All nodded earnestly, they couldn't make a single sound so as not to be discovered.

As a few people walked forward in the darkness, a squinting man suddenly opened his eyes on the roof not far away.

The black-clothed man at the head immediately stopped, raised his hand, and motioned for everyone not to move.

"You, and you! Go over there and search! You guys go over there and search! The rest of the people followed me and searched this courtyard! He immediately arranged for his men to search everywhere!

The black-clothed men in the darkness hid in the darkness, and the leader made his men quickly hide.

"Boss, it's still been discovered." One of the men in black approached the man in black and whispered.

"To your lord! What do you command? The leader of the soldiers asked, looking at the man on the roof.

"Someone has snuck in! Find out the people! ”

"Yes!" The leader of the soldiers commanded.

"My lord, I didn't find it here!"

"We don't have one here!"

All the soldiers found nothing, the master on the roof stared, and scanned the entire courtyard near the palace, he had just noticed that someone had sneaked in, but now he didn't find anything.

"Innate ......," the man in black at the head frowned, "Withdraw first." ”

A few of them slowly retreated to the back, trying to avoid the searching soldiers.

"Tell your lord! Didn't find out! One of the searching soldiers came back and bowed to the man on the roof.

The prisoner's accomplices tried countless times to save people, and basically a group of people came every day, a dozen of them each time, and the people who came were more and more powerful each time.

Even the master of the Acquired Seven Heavens who guarded this place three days ago was killed, but fortunately, he came in time and killed the prisoner's accomplices.

Therefore, the steward of the palace felt that the prisoner's accomplices would still come, so the palace transferred him here to sit in the town, and he was equipped with a hundred elites.

Xiang Yiming is forty and three this year, and since he was still the fifth year after tomorrow, he was recruited into the Ming Clan's palace, and he was promoted to the congenital when he was forty years old.

He was very familiar with the aura around him, and as long as he was within ten steps of him, he could sense it keenly.

The room at his feet held an important prisoner in the palace.

"No way, my perception can't be wrong!" Xiang Yiming's eyes widened, scanning every part of the darkness.

At this time, his eyes were aimed at the hiding place of the people in black, and the light in his eyes suddenly became hot.

He jumped lightly and fell, and several ups and downs rushed straight to the hiding place of the man in black.

However, no one has come for the past three days.

Xiang Yiming thought that the prisoner's accomplices had given up saving people, and when it was already over, he felt that no one would come to the rescue, so he went to the roof and took a nap.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt a change in the aura around me.

Xiang Yiming sneered, "Where to escape!" ”

The black-clothed man at the head pulled out a bamboo tube from his waist, lifted the lid, and a beam of white light rushed into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, there was a scream outside the palace, and the soldiers who were patrolling the night outside the palace were killed by the black-clothed men who were secretly ambushing.

"Not good! After all, he was a congenital master, and he was still discovered! The face of the man in black at the head changed, "Run!" ”

In the face of the innate level master, except for escaping, there is almost no possibility of resistance!

Suddenly several figures sprang out of the darkness and fled in all directions.

On the opposite street outside the palace, in a two-story attic, a man in a white shirt looked at the white light rising into the palace and showed a lost look.

And the elite of the Ming clan continued to pour out of the palace, killing all the black-clothed people who attacked the palace.

And it didn't take long for there to be no movement in the palace, and those who had already infiltrated it were either dead or captured.

Xiang Yiming confronted the man in black, and the soldiers in the courtyard also exchanged hands with the other men in black.

"The day after tomorrow, you dare to fight with me?" After three moves, Xiang Yiming found that this opponent was only the ninth day after tomorrow.

The acquired and the congenital, don't look at the realm is only separated by one weight, but it is a world of difference.

"However, the Ming clan clearly knew about our existence, and wanted to use the delicate girl as bait to catch us all. We have lost thirty of our elites again this time, and there are less than fifty people available to us. If you don't leave Ningdu, you won't be able to leave again. ”

"Try again! They must have thought we wouldn't be going to go over tonight. Li Chuan, you quickly gathered people, and this time I will personally rescue them! ”

"No! Major General, how can you take the risk yourself? ”

"Still failed?" He muttered.

A middle-aged man behind him persuaded: "Major General, it's really not good, let's withdraw......"

"No! I have to get Linglong out! ”

"Enlighten your lordship, the enemy has been cleared! Twenty people were killed outside the house, nine people were killed inside the house, and one person was captured! After the soldiers of the Ming Clan's palace counted the number of people, they reported to Xiang Yiming.

Xiang Yiming ignored him and slowly walked towards the black-clothed man who was seriously injured by himself.

"Say, who told you to come?"

"I've made up my mind! Needless to say! Don't go ...... yet" Before he finished speaking, he received a knife in the back of the neck.

"I'm sorry, Major General! I can't let you die! ”

......

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion in the courtyard next to it.

"Catch him! Don't let him run! ”

"Give me chase!"

The man in black was seriously injured, and there was no place in his body that was good, and after being knocked down by Xiang Yiming, the soldiers around him made up for him a few more times, basically having qi in and no qi out.

"Don't say yes?" Xiang Yiming overestimated the physique of the man in black, "Take him down and take strict care of him!" ”

"Yes!"

The leader of the soldiers hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, when he escaped over the wall, he was hit by an arrow in his back, and he couldn't escape far, and his subordinates had already let people chase him!" ”

Xiang Yiming's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, "Wait! ”

"I'm going to chase this person myself! Tell your men to retreat halfway through the chase! ”

Xiang Yiming looked at the courtyard next to him, and asked angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

The leader of the soldiers in the courtyard hurriedly ran over, his legs weakened, and he knelt down: "The subordinates deserve death!" Thinking that everyone had been ambushed, he relaxed his vigilance. Unexpectedly, there was another person who was alive, and when his subordinates collected the corpse, he suddenly burst out and escaped! ”

"Bastard! Useless stuff! "Xiang Yiming thundered.

It suddenly occurred to him that instead of interrogating this person who was beaten half to death by him, it was better to secretly follow this escapee himself, and maybe he could find the person behind him.

"Yes!" Although he didn't know why Xiang Yiming would take action in person, he still did it.
