Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Orchid Sugar Incident
Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly: "Great, with your great help, I won't worry about the great cause." Al continued what he had just said, "Young Master, you still want to take Elena, right?" Elena is only fourteen years old this year, and she will not be an adult in two years. Elves have pointed ears that are not noticeable until they reach adulthood, and can be found by wearing a false earmuff or covering them with long hair. As for the others, what is different from others is her long golden hair and blue eyes, but these are very common among the people of the Western Continent, and there is no need to hide it, the young master just needs to say that she is a slave bought from the Western Continent. ”
The reason why Al recommended his sister so much was also his selfishness, he felt that since Fang Xiaoyu was about to become a lord, then the promise to the elven clan was likely to come true. It was only a matter of time before all the elves took refuge in Fang Xiaoyu, before that, if Elena could have a close relationship with Fang Xiaoyu, in the future, when Fang Xiaoyu grew up, maybe she could marry Fang Xiaoyu, which would be a very big guarantee for the future of the elf clan.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't realize that Al had such complicated thoughts, but he also felt that he should have a master by his side, after all, if he was in the middle of his development, it would be too unjust to be assassinated suddenly, so Fang Xiaoyu agreed to Al 's request at the very least.
Seeing off all his cronies, Fang Xiaoyu lay on the bed and called Xiaofeng. "Master, what's the matter with you?" Xiaofeng asked. Fang Xiaoyu said: "Xiao Feng, if I need you to make a hundred tons of that secret seasoning, how much time will it take. Fang Xiaoyu was afraid that he would come back late, and planned to let Xiaofeng make at least five years of enough seasoning.
Xiao Feng said: "The seasoning is a low-tech product, and it only takes an hour. Xiao Feng's answer was in Fang Xiaoyu's expectation, it only took twenty-four hours to make three huge thousand-ton hydraulic presses, although these are the most primitive versions of the use of water power, but it still made the Browning Hammer marvel at which master could make such a huge and delicate device so quickly, Fang Xiaoyu racked his brains before perfunctory.
After several manufacturing equipment, Fang Xiaoyu found that Xiaofeng's manufacturing was very fast and of very high quality, and the equipment it manufactured was completely flawless, which was a high-quality product, so Fang Xiaoyu had been thinking about how to lure Xiaofeng to make weapons for him, but Xiaofeng refused on the grounds of chip limitations, not to mention that it was impossible to manufacture and even research.
Before Fang Xiaoyu could continue to communicate with Xiao Feng, he suddenly heard that there was chaos outside. Fang Xiaoyu immediately stopped communicating with Xiao Feng, got up and picked up the Browning Revolver under the pillow, got up to open the door. At this time, a guard outside ran to the door and asked, "Young Master, are you okay?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu opened the door and asked, "I'm fine, what's wrong outside?" The guard said: "Someone has caused chaos and set fire to an empty granary, Lord Tobul and Master Zhang Tong have ordered people to block all intersections to strictly investigate the spies, and Manager Sun is leading people to put out the fire." ”
At this time, Hua Dongxing, Al and others walked into the courtyard, and Hua Dongxing, who was in the lead, said: "Young master, I think this matter is a little strange, let's go to the scene to see." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and followed everyone towards the fire. The fire in the granary is not big, because the granary is a half-masonry structure, and only the roof has wood, so even if the fire is not saved, it only burns the roof, and this granary does not contain anything, and the loss is not large.
Hua Dongxing stroked his beard and looked around and came back and said: "The situation is not right, these people are not deliberately trying to destroy this place, they should be diverting the tiger from the mountain." Al asked, "But the other party didn't transfer the tiger away from the mountain to deal with the young master, but for what?" Hua Donghang said: "It must be for the industrial zone, let people check if there are strangers entering the industrial zone." ”
Several guards hurriedly went to investigate, and reported back after a while: "Young master, something has been lost in the industrial area, and the process manual for making orchid candy is missing." Hearing the guard's return, everyone suddenly changed color. Al said: "Young master, we elves are good at tracking, let me go and see first." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Let's all go together." Fang Xiaoyu and Hua Dongxing and the others followed Al and rushed towards the industrial zone.
Coming to the factory building in the industrial zone, the Browning hammer was roaring at the people around him. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu coming, the Browning Giant Hammer ran over and said, "Young Master, it was my incompetence that made the industrial zone lose something important. Fang Xiaoyu patted the shoulder of the Browning Giant Hammer and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault, after all, this is not your direct control." ”
Al also answered, "Wait until I see, maybe I can catch it back." At this time, a little child came over and said, "Teacher Al, Brother Le Cheng has already followed the trail, and he said that he will leave marks along the way." "Fang Xiaoyu knows this child, his name is Liu Yu, and he is the child who was going to leave with Le Cheng.
Fang Xiaoyu walked over and said, "Liu Yu, how did Le Cheng learn to track?" Before Liu Yu could answer, Al said, "I taught them, didn't you let them learn more from me?" I've given them all the knowledge they need to be a jungle hunter, and tracking is just the basics of a jungle hunter. ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded, and asked Liu Yu to lead a few children who studied together to chase after the mark left by Le Cheng, and everyone followed closely behind. The mark kept going west, and after walking for about five kilometers, Fang Xiaoyu and the others found two figures in front of them. A figure was not tall, standing there with a rifle in his hand. The other figure crouched on the ground, unable to see clearly.
Everyone approached and saw that it was Le Cheng who was holding a gun, and squatting on the ground was a man wearing a guard uniform. When that person heard the movement, he raised his head and found that Fang Xiaoyu and the others had already walked closer. Fang Xiaoyu asked Le Cheng first: "You caught this person?" Le Cheng said: "No, he didn't run at all, and he has been waiting for me here." ”
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the person strangely and asked, "What's your name?" The man replied, "My name is Qiu Zhihong, and I am a soldier of the Third Company of the Guards. Fang Xiaoyu asked again: "Why are you here?" Why do you want to go to the industrial zone? ”
Qiu Zhihong said bluntly: "I stole the craft booklet, I handed it over to a person, and I left it at the disposal of the young master." Fang Xiaoyu asked: "Since you stole that booklet for why you didn't go with the people who came, who are you?" Why do you want to help them? ”
Qiu Zhihong said: "There is no one in my family, only an old mother. When we fled from Jiaozhi County to the capital, we almost starved to death on the way, thanks to a benefactor who saved me and gave us food, and then the benefactor saw that I had a bit of kung fu foundation, so he persuaded me to join the Fang family guard. When we were transferred to the villa a few years ago, my benefactor asked me to find an opportunity to steal the young master's secret recipe. ”
Fang Xiaoyu asked again: "Then why did you take so long to start." Qiu Zhihong said: "Originally, I wanted to do it immediately, but the young master treated us very well and took my mother to the villa to support me, so I was not very willing to do this kind of thing." But the benefactor pressed me too hard, and I had to do things right now, or else I would be exposed to the news that I was a spy. I didn't want to trouble my mother, and I didn't want to let down the benefactor who kept me alive, so I secretly sent my mother to the countryside and stole the booklet. After speaking, Qiu Zhihong raised his head and glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said: "I, Qiu Zhihong, am also a man, I don't want to owe anyone, I know that I am sorry for the young master, so I didn't leave, let the young master deal with it." ”
Fang Xiaoyu asked, "If you die, what will happen to your mother?" Qiu Zhihong said: "The young master gave us such a high salary, I have been reluctant to spend it, I have left it to my mother, and the benefactor also gave me some money, if I am frugal, it will be enough for a few years, as for the future, I can only resign myself to fate." Speaking of this, Qiu Zhihong had tears in his eyes and his voice was slightly choked.
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed, "Since you know that you are guilty, what are you going to do?" Qiu Zhihong said: "I know that I have committed a great crime, and the young master can let me die as much as he wants, even if the young master asks me to cut myself now." Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Al beside him, and Al nodded and took out a knife and threw it on the ground. Fang Xiaoyu said: "In that case, you can cut yourself." ”
Qiu Zhihong looked at the knife, then at Fang Xiaoyu biting his teeth, picking up the knife and wiping it off his neck. Al on the side was prepared, and snatched the knife down. Qiu Zhihong looked at Al suspiciously, and Al looked at Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Qiu Zhihong, since you are so generous to death and you are also a man, I will leave you with a life to support your mother." From now on, you are no longer from my Lanting Villa, you can go. ”
