Chapter 21: The Chief's Knife

After using a little trick to make Master Tang Fu vomit blood again, and after killing his three-headed cerberus, Hong Yuan led the army of war pets to quietly return to the wing.

The sky was still not bright, my aunt Liu Ruyan and the ghost servants were still in retreat, and it was quietly dark all around, only the direction of Master Tang Fu's residence was noisy, and the fire was soaring into the sky.

"Alas, tonight seems to be another sleepless night, and there will be an unknown number of dogs searching frantically all night. ”

Hong Yuan shook his head, sat cross-legged on the bed, and waited quietly to watch the play.

After the action, he didn't leave any traces or handles, and every time he made the second master and the master furious, and then made the entire Ye family compound restless, Hong Yuan was used to it, the more angry the master, the bigger the trouble, the more he relieved his hatred, this is a must! A treacherous and despicable villain like Master Tang Fu, if he has always lived a good life according to his heart, it would be too unreasonable. Let him bleed, or cheapen him!

Hong Yuan sneered, if Donford's old dog didn't repent, he wouldn't mind doing it again, and even stabbed him in the back to finish it out. To treat bad people and wicked people is to use extraordinary means to make the wicked want to cry without tears.

Before dawn, the temperature is the lowest, and it is also the darkest time.

To Hong Yuan's surprise, he sat cross-legged on the bed and waited for a while, but he didn't see the master's dog legs come out to search, but he slowly calmed down.

"It's weird, is that old fellow of Donford resigned to his fate, or is there some conspiracy?"

Hong Yuan faintly felt a sense of unease, and wanted to leave to go to the master's courtyard to explore the end, but he had to give up when he looked up at the sky outside the window. It was almost dawn, and it was no longer suitable for covert operations at this time, and besides, after suffering a big loss, Donford and many of the guards around him must be on strict precautions, and it would be troublesome to accidentally expose his whereabouts.

Hong Yuan calmed down and asked the Blood Bat King to take the vampire bats and the ghost-faced long-winged phoenix butterfly to the ranch outside the city, leaving them alone in the room to cultivate. Meditate for a while to recuperate, and then pull out the Pu knife to practice the knife technique. This is just an ordinary Pu knife, the quality is very average and not sharp, but in Hong Yuan's hand, there is gradually a whirring wind and a knife light, Hong Yuan is moving and jumping in the small bedroom, and the knife is getting faster and faster.

"The so-called fast is not that the knife is fast, but that the action should be fast. The time it takes for others to take one step can take three steps, or even more!"

"When the knife is fast to the extreme, all flaws are no longer flaws, and chasing the wind is flawless!"

Hong Yuan muttered, and gradually realized the essence of the wind chasing knife technique, the moves became more and more smooth, and slowly there was some artistic conception of chasing the wind and chasing the wind. He has been practicing this sword technique for more than ten years, but he has not made any progress in the past, but he has improved by leaps and bounds recently. It's not that he has taken more time to practice swords recently, but he has broken through the Shangyuan Palace and the Zhongyuan Palace one after another, and the strength of the divine soul has increased greatly and the body has been greatly strengthened, and the sword technique has risen accordingly.

There are some things that cannot be pursued hard, not because there is no life, but because the time has not come;

Hong Yuan felt in his heart that his aunt had said something similar, but he didn't understand it, and now he suddenly became enlightened.

As the sky grew brighter, there were more pedestrians on the road.

After practicing a set of wind-chasing knife techniques seventy-three times from beginning to end, and after the blood and qi in his body were tumbling and the muscles were extremely congested, Hong Yuan slowly retracted his skills. The clothes on his body have already been soaked with sweat, so he changed into clothes and sat cross-legged on the bed, silently reciting the mental method on the War Pet Sutra, breathing and exhaling, calming the qi and blood in the body and recuperating.

The aunt and the ghost servant still did not move, and continued to retreat, and Hong Yuan had no plans to go out today. Master Tang Fude's reaction last night was a little abnormal, after suffering a big loss, he didn't send someone to search frantically, Hong Yuan always felt a little uneasy, and was ready to rest for two days to wait and see what happened.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Hong Yuan was silently mentally prepared, he wanted to see what tricks Tang Fude's old dog and the embarrassed second old man Ye Feilong were going to play.

Outside the door, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Hong Yuan, come out, Hong Yuan ......"

Good guys, moving so fast?

Hong Yuan's heart was stunned, he didn't expect the master to move so fast. The knock on the door was urgent, Hong Yuan calmed down and got up to open the door, and it was not a tiger and a wolf guard standing outside the door, but a thin little handyman Yan Quanming, "Hong Yuan, you finally got up." ”

"Brother Yan, are you looking for me?" Hong Yuan asked, there were many small handymen in the Ye family's compound, but the one who was most familiar with him and had the most fun was Yan Quanming in front of him, who ran around with him when he was a child.

"Did you kid do anything bad, the chief manager told you to go over right away, and ask for more blessings. Yan Quanming smiled and patted Hong Yuan's shoulder, turned around and left, and was going to be busy early in the morning.

"Chief Manager Yue Qingshan, this black goat has always talked little, why is he looking for me?"

Hong Yuan was puzzled, closed the door and left, and soon came to a courtyard house. The yard was full of dry firewood for the winter, and Yue Qingshan was teaching a handyman to chop firewood.

Looking up and seeing Hong Yuan, Yue Qingshan smiled uncontrollably, "Hong Yuan, you're here." ”

"Hong Yuan has seen the Grand Administrator. ”

The chief manager, Yue Qingshan, was notoriously serious, and he had a straight face all day long, Hong Yuan was a little apprehensive, not knowing if he hadn't done a good job, or if he had shown his feet, "Chief manager, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm. ”

Yue Qingshan was noncommittal, and continued to teach the little handyman to chop firewood, "Look at the lines of the firewood, keep your hands steady, and exert your legs and waist poles, rather than relying on your hands." Talk less nonsense and do more, don't say a word that shouldn't be said, and don't touch what you shouldn't do. I can't chop wood well, what kind of knife do you practice?"

The little handyman had a bitter face, honestly chopping wood, and was trained all the time. Yue Qingshan shook his head, and personally demonstrated to the little handyman, and with an axe, the thigh-thick wood was split in half.

Hong Yuan watched from the sidelines, waited patiently, and inadvertently glanced at the firewood on the ground, his pupils constricted. A fly just flew to the wood, Yue Qingshan chopped it down with an axe, and the fly's small body was split along with the firewood, half of one side.

"Replace the axe with a long knife, how powerful is the knife skill of the Grand Administrator?"

"Call yourself over and don't say anything, let yourself see how to chop wood, isn't it, this is a secret warning?"

Hong Yuan's heart became apprehensive, and he couldn't see through Yue Qingshan, the chief manager, more and more. Yue Qingshan is notoriously serious, and he is also straightforward in his work, and he has never made any mistakes. Over the years, the senior stewards of the Ye family's compound have changed batch after batch, only Yue Qingshan has never changed, and he has won the trust of the eldest master, and even the second master Ye Feilong has a lot of respect for him.

"Hong Yuan, how are you doing?" Yue Qingshan put down his axe, his voice low.

Hong Yuan came back to his senses, "Fortunately, the ranch is cleaned every day, and there are a lot of livestock." ”

"Good, good, good. ”

Yue Qingshan nodded and said, "Originally, you were a guest of our Ye family, so you shouldn't have been asked to do these chores. However, your aunt insisted that she would give you a chance to temper, so I had to reluctantly make it difficult. Winter will soon begin, the weather will get colder and colder, and a lot of charcoal, dry firewood and grain need to be stored, there are too many things to pile up in the Ye family's compound, and some need to be stacked in the pasture. Hong Yuan, your task is heavier. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Hong Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid you can't be busy alone, in two days, I'll find a few people to help you. It's easy to mess up when there are too many people, so let's do it, you will be the head of the ranch in the future, and you will be responsible for all the things on the ranch, so do it well. Yue Qingshan commanded.

"Thank you, Steward, if I don't have anything else to say, I'll step back first. Hong Yuan said.

"Go ahead. ”

Yue Qingshan nodded, silent, unable to see joy, anger and sorrow.

Hong Yuan turned to leave, preoccupied. Promoted to the head of the ranch, some things are more convenient to do, but when there are more people, it is easy to expose the existence of the army of war pets, and the cultivation is not so free, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.
