It's night, Xufu.

Guo Jia was already drunk and unconscious, lying on the table and falling asleep, Xu Ji was still drinking himself, his expression was calm, his eyes were clearer than before, and the wine table was already cold.

A servant-like man walked in, bowed down and asked, "Young master, do you want to drink again?" “

Xu Ji suddenly woke up from his previous state of being stunned, held his forehead with one hand, looked at Guo Langzi's unscrupulous sleeping appearance, and said with a wry smile: "No need, Uncle Wen, don't call me young master, you are an old man who has been by the teacher's side for many years." ”

This old man known as Wenbo was Sima Hui's housekeeper for many years, and he was also the steward left by Sima Hui to take care of his property handed over to Xu Ji.

"The young master can't, and the ceremony can't be abolished."

Xu Ji smiled helplessly, shook his head and didn't mention it, but said: "Ask someone to send this lazy thing to the side room to rest, you can't drink and love it, it's really puzzling." ”

Wen Bo smiled on his face: "This is probably the true temperament that Mr. said." With that, he retreated.

Xu Ji got up and went to the inner room, lying on the couch for a long time, thinking of the things that his cheap teacher left to him, including the mansion, retainers, connections, and even Sima Hui's reputation for many years, it can be seen that although this teacher had to be forced away, he was indeed unwilling, and most of these were left in order to come back in the future, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return to his homeland alive in this life.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to this teacher, not to mention that his political ideas could not be realized, and he couldn't even return to his hometown. Of course, Xu Ji would not want to do anything for himself as a teacher, first of all, Xu Ji couldn't even guarantee his own safety, let alone welcome back the old guy.

It's night, and Xu Ji is sleepless again

"Wenbo, hasn't Fengxiao gotten up yet?"

Wen Bo still looked that stereotyped, and replied: "Fengxiao Gongzi has not woken up yet, I'm afraid it will take some time to wake up." ”

Xu Ji shook his head: "Then leave him alone, if you have time today, take me to see what the teacher left me." ”

"Let the people get ready, and the young master will wait." After saying that, Wen Bo retreated again.

Xu Ji was very helpless, although Wen Bo respected himself very much, but Xu Ji knew that if he didn't have the teacher's advice, he wouldn't be able to call these people in this mansion.

Soon after, Wen Bo came back with a roll of bamboo slips: "Young master, these are the account books in the house......"

Before Wen Bo could finish speaking, Xu Ji interrupted him

"I want to meet the "blade" left to me by my teacher! The sharp light in Xu Ji's eyes made Wen Bo pause for a moment, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"Okay, the young master comes with me, the road is not close."

This is a remote house, several in a row, there are few people around on weekdays, it seems that no one lives at all, when Wen Bo knocked on the door Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh that the old guy is really an old treacherous and cunning, a literati actually left such a backhand, most of the people who live here are not good.

They were greeted by a sturdy man, very capable, which was Xu Ji's first impression.

"Xiaozhuang, this is the young master, I told you."

The man's originally puzzled look suddenly came to his senses, and he got out of the way and said, "Young master, please!" ”

The tone is calm, restrained, but with a kind of arrogance.

This guy is very proud. Xu Ji thought so, and his footsteps didn't stop, and he walked straight along the road he got out of, and Wen Bo and Xiao Zhuang behind him looked at each other.

At the end of the dilapidated aisle, there is a cave, a small martial arts arena, surrounded by lush trees, and there are weapon racks on all sides of the martial arts arena, full of various colored blades. Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh again, the ban has been so strict in these years, the old man Sima actually got so many contraband, this old guy obviously has some things that he has not handed over, but he is relieved, after all, it is a six-year-old child, Sima Hui is not likely to be relieved to give everything to himself, and Wen Bo, I am afraid that it is also to see if he is qualified, or, it is surveillance.

Xu Ji had an inexplicable smile on his face, like a bloodthirsty beast.

"What about people? Aren't they all there? Wen Bo asked behind Xu Ji.

The man known as Xiaozhuang replied: "I went hunting, and when Huzi returned to his hometown last year, we wanted to hunt some meat for him." ”

Xu Ji suddenly smiled coldly: "Catch the wind? I don't know if I have my share? ”

When Wen Bo heard this, his face first changed and he was about to speak, and then he was stunned again, and his face changed to a smile and he stopped talking.

This man, known as Xiaozhuang, had a cold face and replied bluntly: "I didn't know that the young master was coming, so I didn't prepare, and I forgot the young master to forgive me." ”

Xu Ji smiled coldly again, turned to look at Xiao Zhuang: "Don't think that you have some strength to be arrogant, since the teacher handed you over to me to give me orders, it is naturally useful, I waited for you in the house for a day and a night, and the gentleman didn't let you send him off, and the new master didn't even go to visit, do you think I really don't know?" ”

The man in front of him was already wet with cold sweat, and Zhiwu replied: "Mr. just left, we really didn't notice it for a while, and we will naturally go to the house to see you in three or five days." ”

Xu Ji smiled and said, "Forgot? Just remember to catch the wind? ”

The man's face was suddenly covered with cold sweat, disrespecting the lord itself can be punished, not to mention that these people were originally unclean in their hands, if the new master is dissatisfied, he only needs to tie up and forget the official mansion, and he will die. And when he thought of this, he knelt down.

"Lord, it's the villain who is wrong, and you shouldn't despise the Lord."

Xu Ji looked at him coldly, his eyes were cold: "I know that you gentlemen and old men look down on me, but I may not be able to look down on your ability, but this is different, you can naturally look down on me, but you are a retainer after all, since Mr. handed you over to me, no matter how you look at me, I am your master This matter is already a foregone conclusion, I hope you know the situation you are in." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, Wen Bo took a deep look at Xiao Zhuang and chased after him.

"The young master, this is good." On the way home, the Chinese uncle suddenly said this.

Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "After all, the mission I carry Wen Bo also knows the truth, I don't ask them to respect me and obey me, I just want to do what I say, this is also a helpless move, I don't have time to figure it out slowly." ”

Wen Bo lowered his head: "Yes, today I know that the Duke of Decao has indeed chosen the right person." ”

"Hehe, false praise, I'm just an expedient measure, these people don't respect me, most likely there will be hidden dangers."

Wen Bo smiled: "It's okay, these people are actually not the key, Mr. still has some things left for you, what I saw today is only on the surface, and there are still a few people who have not returned from traveling abroad, just convince those few." “

Xu Ji's face was indifferent: "It's really okay, I will go on a study tour in a year at most, and I will naturally have my own henchmen." After all, these people belong to Mr., including Wenbo, I don't think they will really convince me. “

After saying this, Xu Ji sped up his steps and turned the corner.

Wen Bo froze in place, and then smiled, laughing very happily, and muttered in his mouth: "Virtue, finally you still have a good eye, this young man is indeed talented." I can't even see through the depth of him, and he acts treacherously, which is a good piece of material."

Xu Ji, who returned to Xu's mansion, indifferently pulled Guo Jia, who had slept for a day, out of the door, and Guo Da Langzi asked with a look of never being awake: "Where is this going?" “

Xu Ji didn't answer, and walked straight.

Guo Jia, who didn't get an answer, didn't ask any more questions, walked beside Xu Ji and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was solemn for a while.

"Fengxiao, I want to go to see Wen Ruo, we all have to prepare for some emergencies, Wen Ruo can help us."

"What's the need for it?"

"I already have a premonition that Yingchuan is coming, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before no one will pay attention to us, Wen Bo said that there have been a lot of scribes and small officials in the county guard recently, and maybe, Yingchuan is going to change."

Guo Jia thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that these families want to fight again?" ”

"Of course, although there is no oil and water in Yingchuan, it is the place where you can get the most qualifications, who doesn't want to make a good name here?"

"Is it to avoid the limelight?"

"Naturally, when a new official takes office, he will inevitably have to find someone to open his knife, what can please the wealthy family better than solving Sima Hui's disciples?" Xu Ji said mockingly.

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Ji's eyes showed an inexplicable look: "This is just a sign, but I estimate that it will be within three or five months, I still have some time, and it seems that I have to go on a study tour in advance." ”

Guo Jia nodded approvingly: "It's okay, it's always safer for you to hide, it's not pleasant for these guys to always look for trouble." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "I'm going to wronged you, you have to go to Wen Ruo to hide, you Guo Fengxiao is notorious, I'm afraid that I won't lose my intentions for you." ”

Guo Jia also said with a smile: "I, Guo Fengxiao, am a young man, so I can't help but attract jealousy, unlike you Xu Wenlie, I am a beautiful young man." After that, he still looked at Gu Ying and self-pity.

Xu Ji slapped Guo Jia's "temperament" off, and said seriously: "I'm afraid that I won't come back in a year and a half, you pay more attention to Yingchuan County, especially the Yellow Turban Dao, I always feel that things are coming, and that's my opportunity." ”

Guo Jia's expression was grim, and he said dignifiedly: "I save it, since you entrust this matter to me, it is naturally a matter of death." ”

Xu Ji slapped again: "What can't die, what can you do with this body?" Also, you have to manage some people, we are not the right people to do things on our own, and there are many things that we can't do on our own. ”

Guo Jia laughed obscenely: "Xu Wenlie, you don't have to worry about this, I, Guo Fengxiao, will never risk my life." Besides, I still want to have a lot of romance, how can I have time to spend on this. “

Xu Ji cried and pulled Guo Jia, who looked dissolute, towards Xun Yu's mansion.

At this time, Wen Bo was standing in the lobby of the Xu Mansion, and in front of him was a young man with his face hidden in the shadows: "Wen Bo, do you really think this little guy can do it?" “

"My vision is not good, but you should always believe that the gentleman's vision is not wrong." Wen Bo didn't care about the young man's doubts.

"I'll check for myself." With that, he left.

Wen Bo behind him smiled more and more happily, Wen Lie, the old man can only do so much, whether you can subdue this rebellious guy or not depends on yourself.
