Chapter 13 Patrol Missions
"You!good, very good!" Zhao Zhicheng laughed angrily, backhanded, returned to his seat and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, "Don't retreat, right? Okay, one day, you will come to beg me!"
"Is that right? Can I return it after I take a bite that it doesn't taste good?" Jiang Han returned to his seat with an indifferent face.
Zhao Zhicheng's face twitched, and he looked at the city lord Mu Gao.
Mu Gao seemed to have just woken up from a dream, changed the topic, coughed and said: "The private affairs of the Zhao and Jiang families, although I am the city lord, it is not easy to interfere, but I came today, in addition to the Zhao family master being invited to testify, there is also a business that must be supported by the Jiang family master." ”
Eno Du's expression was grim, and he replied, "Please make it clear to the city lord." ”
Mu Gao smiled kindly at Jiang Yedu, looked sideways at Master Bai, Master Bai opened the fan and shook it, and said: " That's the case, these days, the villages around the deserted city are disturbed by ghost attacks, and the city lord wants to send more people to carry out night patrols to ensure the peace of the villagers, but a few days ago, a lot of manpower was broken, and now the city lord's mansion is nervous about employing people, and after thinking about it, the city lord decided to mobilize the corresponding warriors from each village to rotate on duty, I heard that the Jiang family martial arts hall has cultivated a hundred masters of the rebirth realm, and there are even more than a dozen masters of the marrow washing realm, I don't know if the Jiang family master is willing to sell this face?"
"Hmph, if City Lord Mu wants to recruit people, just go to those people's houses and find our lord to come forward?
Mu Gao opened his mouth and said: "Mrs. Zhao, don't misunderstand, this is not a discussion, but an order issued by the deserted city, as the city lord, I must also abide by it, I informed the Jiang family master, I want them to assemble faster, so as not to miss the time, in addition, the action between the villages, the required soul extinguishing lamp is self-prepared, in principle, each family must have one person to participate, lest someone say that it is unfair, the Jiang family master just said that the trial has not healed and cannot participate, this burden, I am afraid that it will fall on Young Master Jiang!"
"What?" Zhao Gulian's body shook for a while, her face was pale, she never expected that Zhao Zhicheng came to Jiang's house, and actually made two preparations, this is to put Jiang Han to death: "Zhao Zhicheng, what is the grudge between you and me? Why are you here, if you want to withdraw from the marriage, I will withdraw from you!"
Zhao Zhicheng held a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and said with a little smug on his face: "It's late, I can't be the master of this matter, our Zhao family also has to be outdone, as for the divorce, it is a private matter, don't mention it again." ”
Jiang Yedu frowned and said, "City Lord Mu, I ......"
At this time, Jiang Han got up and bowed his hand to Jiang Yedu and Zhao Gulian: "I'll go." ”
"Han'er. Zhao Gulian dragged Jiang Han away, "They are targeting your father, what are you mixing in!"
"I'll go!"
Jiang Han walked to the middle of the hall.
"Since everyone has to contribute, our Jiang family can't be special, City Lord Mu, you say yes?"
Mu Gao stared at Jiang Han with a pair of eyes, and said with a smile: "Have you thought about it?"
Jiang Han laughed: "The city lord means that the city order can also bargain?"
Mu Gao's expression was solemn, and he got up and walked outside: "Naturally impossible, since the Jiang family is brought forward by you, it is naturally excellent, farewell." ”
As soon as Mu Gao left, the rest got up one after another.
Zhao Chong and Zhao Cheng passed by Jiang Han and whispered: "Jiang Han, I didn't expect you to be a fool, you would lose your life for your backbone." ”
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Mu Gao and his party were about to walk out of the courtyard, Jiang Han stopped everyone again.
Mu Gao looked at Jiang Han with a kind face, and his eyes were full of too many emotions: "Young Master Jiang still has something?"
Jiang Han pointed to the sun in the sky: "Look, isn't the sun very bright? ”
"Joke!" Ding Feng looked unkind, "Are you a fool like you?"
Jiang Han took out a note from his sleeve and said indifferently: "It turns out that Mr. Ding is not confused? Look at the sun in the sky, it doesn't look like the soul-destroying lamp you borrowed a few days ago?
"You!!"
Ding Feng's smile froze, and the people who originally watched Jiang Han's jokes looked at him one after another.
In front of Mu Gao, the IOU in Jiang Han's hand was so conspicuous.
"Very good!" Ding sealed the corners of his mouth twitched: "I'll send someone to return it." ”
Jiang Han arched his hand and said seriously: "Then thank you, but Mr. Ding catches faster, I have to patrol at night, and without the soul extinguishing lamp, I won't be able to patrol at night." ”
"Humph!"
Ding Feng shook his face and left, and when he turned around, there was a deep hatred in his eyes.
In front of the city lord, he was played by Jiang Han ruthlessly, but he didn't take advantage of it and suffered a loss, the key is that Jiang Han did this, which would make him lose trust in front of the city lord Mu!
"Hehe, interesting!"
Mu Gao walked in front with his hands behind his back.
The white-faced scholar looked at the Jiang family's martial arts hall and the harmonious Huanggu Village, and sighed: "Good place, it's a pity." ”
Zhao Zhicheng half-squinted, a few steps behind Mu Gao, and said to Zhao Chong and Zhao Cheng behind him: "Take good care of your cousin." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Zhao Chong and Zhao Cheng looked at each other and smiled.
"I really want to see him scared in front of the ghosts!"
It's just that as soon as the two of them smiled and walked out of the corner, they saw a white-clothed Shengxue, a beautiful woman looking at them with a pair of cold eyes.
The two of them looked stunned, and their arrogance seemed to be extinguished by water in an instant.
Zhao Cheng arched his hand and said with a flattering face: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Wanmei's cultivation has improved again, which is gratifying." ”
Zhao Chong shrunk his neck and slipped out, "I just remembered that there was still water boiling on the fire in my house. ”
Zhao Wan'er ignored the two of them, and walked lightly in front of the two, as if she was not contaminated with a trace of smoke, and only turned back when she was about to come to the end, her eyes were as clear as gems: "My father went to the Jiang family to withdraw from the marriage?"
Zhao Cheng: "Yes. ”
Zhao Wan'er's eyes did not blink, her hands were hidden in her sleeves, and her slender fingers were intertwined with each other, slim and elegant.
"The result?"
Zhao Chong smiled and said flatteringly: "Sister Wan, don't worry, with the city lord and Mr. Bai together, the Jiang family will always consider it carefully, and it will never affect Sister Wan's path of heaven and man." ”
"I asked what the result was?" Jiang Han ...... He agreed to get out of the marriage?"
Zhao Cheng saw that Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly, and hurriedly answered: "What if he doesn't agree? ”
"That's not agreeing. ”
Zhao Wan'er stretched out with a cold face and walked forward gently.
Zhao Chong and Zhao Cheng looked at each other.
Zhao Chong: "What do you mean by her?
Zhao Cheng: "How do I know, in short, this marriage is impossible, let's wait and watch the show." ”
......
In the backyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Han stood in front of the mirror, letting the maid Xiaohong fiddle with the corners of his clothes, Xiaohong in the mirror sniffed his nose, and his eyes were a little red.
"Young master, when patrolling at night, you will follow the large army, but don't walk alone. ”
"Hmm. ”
Jiang Han couldn't help but pinch the maid's duck egg face.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, by the way, I'll give it to you. ”
"What is this?"
Xiaohong looked at a piece of paper tied with red rope that Jiang Han handed over, her eyes widened, and she didn't care about crying.
"Whatever you go to the Temple of Confucius to ask for, wear it on your body, and it will keep you safe. ”
Jiang Han casually picked up a sword on the table and waved his hand.
"Tell my wife and tell her not to worry, I'll be back in a few days. ”
"Oh. ”
The maid pinched the peace charm and froze in place.
Out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Han found that dozens of young people in the village were waiting at the door, most of them were between sixteen and thirty years old, among these people, many of them came out of the Jiang family's martial arts hall, and two of them were the Jiang family's long-term workers, because this time under the order of the city lord, everyone had to contribute on behalf of their own family, and the people who could usually follow Jiang Han around had to obey the city order.
