Ning Zhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance of tea flowing down his mouth into his mouth.

"Commander Qin told you to go back to Ningdu." Ning Zhou put down the teacup and said.

Rouge showed a surprised look, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "What a lot of thought Qin Zhiwei put into driving me out of Ningdu in the first place!" Do you want me to go back to Ningdu now? Isn't it enough to humiliate me? ”

Ning Zhou sighed, then shook his head, and said to Luo Min: "Let's go, she doesn't want to go back." ”

After saying that, he got up and left, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Rouge's words: "Stop! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Zhou's mouth, and then he retracted it, and when he turned around, he couldn't see any expression on his face.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do back?" She asked.

"Do you remember why you were kicked out of Ningdu by her?" Ning Zhou asked.

"Shhhh Ningdu Xiao's family! There was a murderous intent in her eyes.

"Now the opportunity is given to you, go back and settle with the Xiao family." Ning Zhou sighed and said.

She stood up, looked at Ning Zhou seriously, and asked, "Qin Zhiwei won't interfere?" ”

"No, it won't."

"Good! I'll go back. ”

Ningdu Xiao Mansion, Xiao Xuan got up early in the morning, and after the old servant sorted out his clothes, he pushed him into the courtyard.

The sun rose unhurriedly from the east, and he said to the old servant, facing the direction of the rising sun, "What, hasn't Beichuan come back yet?" ”

The old servant's face was a little ugly, and he stopped talking.

"Say? Look at you like this, you know he's failed! The guard next to Xu Changsha is probably the eighth day after tomorrow, and Beichuan is the ninth day after tomorrow, and he is about to step into the innate ranks, and he can't deal with it? What's more, didn't Lu Yuer also follow? Xiao Xuan was affected by the old servant's emotions, and his mood was naturally not much better.

"Master, Lu Yu'er is dead, and Chen Beichuan won't live for three days......" said the old servant.

"What!" Xiao Xuan slapped his palm on the wheelchair, unusually angry, "What...... What the hell is going on? ”

In Xu Changsha's hand, there seems to be a very powerful weapon that can kill with one blow, and Lu Yuer was killed by that weapon, and he didn't even have time to react. And Chen Beichuan's heart and lungs were pierced by that weapon, and the doctor said that it was difficult to survive for three days! ”

"Shhh Xiao Xuan gasped, "It seems that I still underestimated him!" ”

"I thought it was ..... Arrange someone to assassinate him, and then let the coachman protect him to the death, so that he owes me a favor to the Xiao family! But I didn't expect that even Beichuan folded in......" Xiao Xuan said with some self-reproach.

"Master, in fact, the second lady already has a life-saving grace for him, and he already owes the Xiao family a favor, so why do you have to let Chen Beichuan go over?" The old servant asked, puzzled.

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "Ying'er can't be involved in this matter......

At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards the courtyard, and it was Xiao Man, who looked tired and anxious with a trace of fatigue and anxiety.

"The child has seen his father!" Xiao Man came to him and saluted him.

"Why aren't you on duty today? Instead, it looks tired? Did you not sleep well last night? Xiao Xuan asked with some displeasure.

"Father, I just got back from the City Patrol Division! At the same time last night, the coachman who sent Xu Changsha came back, saying that he was assassinated on the way back from Songhe! Fortunately, instead of letting the assassins succeed, they killed the two assassins! The child did not dare to slack off, so he immediately led people to investigate the place where the incident occurred, and found that in addition to some blood stains on the ground, the bodies of the two assassins that the coachman said had been killed were gone! ”

"Huh? Assassination? What kind of person is so bold that he actually kills people in Ningdu! Xiao Xuan looked indignant, looking a little angry.

"The child hasn't found any clues yet, so he came to ask his father for advice."

Xiao Xuan pretended to think about it, and then said: "This matter, since you didn't find the body, you can only stop it." The person who will do something to Xu Changsha must be someone who has had a holiday with him, you can ask him, if he says which people have a holiday with him, you can focus on checking it. ”

"Yes! The boy is going to see him! ”

Then Xiao Man hurriedly left the Xiao Mansion, and when he came to the Xu Mansion, he found that Xu Xiang was no longer in the Mansion. No one in the Xu Mansion knew where he was.

At this time, Xu Xiang was waiting here in the inner hall of the fine door. He asked that guy to send a message to the Dragon Bird Valley, saying that he wanted to see Qin Zhiwei.

I thought it would take a long time, after all, Qin Zhiwei was still in Dragon Bird Valley. If you want to come to Ningdu, it will take two hours, but I didn't expect that before a stick of incense, Qin Zhiwei asked the guy to bring him into the inner hall.

He saw Qin Zhiwei, today Qin Zhiwei was wearing a goose-yellow long skirt and a capable long ponytail, and she also seemed to be in good spirits, it seemed that the injuries she had suffered before had healed.

After seeing him, before he could speak, Qin Zhiwei said, "You come with me!" ”

As she spoke, she walked to the bookshelf on the left side of the inner hall, and turned a decorative teacup on the bookshelf, and with a "squeak" sound, the stone wall in the room began to split in two, revealing a secret room.

Xu Xiang followed her into the secret room, and saw that the layout and placement in the secret room were very neat, and there were shelves of weapons on the left and right sides.

It's just that among these weapon racks, some of the weapons are empty, as if they have been taken away a long time ago.

Qin Zhiwei walked to the central bookshelf and blew a breath towards the bookshelf, and the dust on the bookshelf was blown out.

Immediately after, she got one of the bamboo slips, then unfolded the bamboo slips and took out a small bamboo tube from the bamboo slips.

“…… Something you want. She handed him the small bamboo tube.

Xu Xiang took the bamboo tube, and wanted to open the bamboo tube with some curiosity, wanting to see what Qin Zhiwei had given him.

"Hey, don't open it!" Qin Zhiwei reminded.

"What is this??" Xu Xiang looked at the bamboo tube carefully and asked.

"Secret letter, the secret letter that the Xiao family wants." Qin Zhi replied faintly.

Xu Xiang's eyes were extremely surprised, he originally wanted to find her just to ask her for a secret letter, and he didn't have much hope, but I haven't opened my mouth yet, why did you give it to me directly?

"How do you know......" Xu Xiang wanted to ask her how she knew that the Xiao family asked him to come over and ask for a secret letter?

As soon as I think of the time I entered the city, Xiao Man's flattering attitude towards her became clear! In fact, she already knew that Xiao Man was so flattering to Qin Zhiwei because of this secret letter.

"I gave it to you. I'm leaving recently, take care! Qin Zhiwei said again.

"Where are you going?"

"Lushui Town!" Qin Zhiwei didn't mean to hide it from him at all, and said it truthfully.

Afterwards, Qin Zhiwei didn't say anything more and sent him out of the fine door.

Now that you have got the secret letter, you can naturally go directly to Xiao Mansion and give the secret letter to Xiao Xuan.

When Xu Xiang took this small bamboo tube and handed it to Xiao Xuan. The latter looked incredulous, and he didn't expect that the next day, Xu Xiang would ask him for the secret letter.

Xiao Xuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, took the small bamboo tube tremblingly, then opened it and poured out a small silk cloth from the bamboo tube.

Xiao Xuan opened the silk cloth, and the ink on it was already a little blurry. He stared at what was written on the silk cloth, and his face was blue and white at one time.

"......I see," Xiao Xuan showed a wry smile, "old fellow...... You wait! ”

Ningdu City is really big, and handed over the secret letter to Xiao Xuan, as for who is behind his mouth, it has nothing to do with Xu Xiang.

When he came out of Xiao Mansion, he was ready to take a stroll, and now Yunyan Street was already very lively, with a large number of stalls selling all kinds of pollen and spices, street food, and exquisite jewelry on the main street.

There were so many people here that he felt bored, so he walked down the street where there were fewer people.

Under a shady tree, he noticed a stall with a wooden board on which the words "big" and "small" were written with brushes on the left and right sides of the board, and there were some broken silver on the sides of the two words, and among the broken silver on the side of the word "big" was a large ingot of silver, about twenty taels.

The man at the stall shook the one in his hand, and the big bowl made a jingling sound, and shouted in his mouth: "Buy big and buy small, buy and leave!" ”

This is a small gambling stall, Xu Xiang can see it at a glance, in addition to the owner of the stall, there are more than a dozen gamblers.

He also noticed that among these gamblers there was a little fat man dressed in gorgeous clothes, who was playing with six or seven silver ingots of twenty taels and one ingots in his hand, staring nervously at the bowl in the hand of the stall owner, only to see the boss button the bowl, and then turn it over, and shout in his mouth: "One, one, three, five, small!" ”

Then he happily put away the broken silver on the side of the big letter, including the big ingot. After paying a small bet, he said: "Come on, come on, a new round has begun, everyone start betting!" ”

After the little fat man lost, he was not annoyed, and once again bet a silver ingot on the big character. The stall owner showed a hint of joy on his face, then continued to shake the bowl, buckled it down, and said, "Two, three, three, eight o'clock, it's small again!" ”

Xu Xiang smiled slightly, in his previous life, as a special soldier, he had gone deep behind enemy lines, so he naturally had to understand some gambling games, he could hear that there was obviously a problem with the dice, and the owner of the gambling stall was pit the little fat man's silver.

After the little fat man lost two in a row, he showed a hesitant look, and listened to the boss of this gambling stall urging him vigorously, and glanced at the little fat man from time to time, as if he was waiting for him to bet before shaking.

The little fat man finally had a heart, and once again bet a piece of silver on the big one, and the gambling stall owner saw that the little fat man had already bet, so he picked up the bowl and prepared to shake.

"Wait!" Xu Xiang said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" The gambling stall owner frowned, and looked at him with a somewhat grim gaze.

"Nothing, I want to gamble too." Xu Xiang smiled, then took out a piece of silver and put it on the small print.

"This has opened two small in a row, where will it be small?" The little fat man saw that he was betting small, and said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, just have fun!" Xu Xiang handed him a meaningful smile. This little fat man was slaughtered as a fat sheep, and he didn't react yet.

It turned out that this one was small. Xu Xiang naturally won, and the little fat man lost again.

The next little fat man didn't believe in evil, and bet big on several consecutive handfuls, and Xu Xiang bet on small after he bet. After each bet, he smiled at the little fat man.

In the eyes of the little fat man, Xu Xiang was provoking him and a mocking smile, but in fact, Xu Xiang smiled at him because he was grateful to him for making money for making him, no, he had already earned more than forty taels of silver.

"Hey! I don't believe it! "The little fat man's temper has come up, and he has opened seven or eight small ones in a row, there is no reason to be small all the time, right? This was his first time gambling money, so naturally he didn't expect that there would be a problem with this dice.

"Great!" This time, he took out a large stack of silver tickets directly from his arms, each of which was one hundred taels, and directly photographed one hundred taels next to the big characters.

The owner of this gambling stall looked at his stack of silver tickets, and the greed in his eyes flashed.

"Small!" Xu Xiang pressed all the more than forty taels he won on the small, according to common sense, once a gambler has been winning, most of them will be noticed by this boss, but this boss only wants to pit the little fat man's silver, so he doesn't care about some of Xu Xiang's wins.

"Buy and go! It's on! Ha...... One, three, four, eight, small! ”

"You! You're going against me, aren't you? The little fat man lost again and became very angry, but he sprinkled this anger on Xu Xiang's body, and said angrily with his hands on his waist.

"No? Everyone is playing their own games, what am I doing against you? Xu Xiang put away the silver he had just won and said with a smile.

"You still say no? Every time, you bet only after I have finished betting! Every time I lose, you win! Are you in league with this boss? "His mind seemed to turn a little bit, but he didn't get to the point.

"Don't talk nonsense, this guest officer. This bet is all about winning and losing, and everything depends on luck! The gambling stall owner hurriedly said.

"None? So why does he win every time and I lose every time? ”

"Maybe this guest officer has better luck......" said the gambling stall owner embarrassedly.

"It's not that I'm lucky! It's that I have a good eye! I know he loses every time he bets, so I will win if I bet on the opposite of him! "Xu Xiang has already won enough, so he doesn't plan to play anymore, but before leaving, it's okay to remind this wronged boss a little.

"Why do you say I lose every time? Are you a fortune teller? The little fat man asked puzzled.

"Nonsense, you take so much silver out, who will you win if the boss doesn't win?" Xu Xiang said angrily, it seems that this little fat man still hasn't reacted!

"This guest officer, don't talk nonsense, we do business in good faith, this gamble is naturally won and lost, not that some people will lose all the time." The owner of the gambling stall tried his best to explain.

"As long as he continues to gamble, he will definitely lose!"

"These are providential, not ......"

"Providence? It's artificial, right? Xu Xiang interrupted him, then turned the bowl over, grabbed the three dice, and gently broke one open.

I saw a silver-white liquid flowing out of the dice, and the old gamblers around me could see the doorway in the dice at a glance.

"Mercury dice!" The gamblers around who had lost a lot all looked indignant.
