After the poor two left, Tai Hao glanced at Yu Hong, and deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Yu Hong City Lord, what is the goods that the poor two mentioned just now?" ”

When Yu Hong heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, he laughed dryly, and covered up: "Hehe, Vice Admiral Taihao, this is just a trivial matter, you don't need to care too much." By the way, the renovation project of the Deputy General's Mansion has been completed, and Vice General Taihao can move into his new home at any time. ”

There was a hint of perfunctory and diversionary in his tone, and he obviously didn't want to dwell too much on the issue. After hearing this, Taihao understood in his heart, but he didn't ask more, just nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

Tai Hao bowed slightly, and said, "Since the Deputy General's Mansion has been repaired properly, the lower official plans to move into a new house this afternoon." During this time in Snow Lotus Residence, although it was quiet and comfortable, it was enough to live. ”

Hearing this, Yu Hong nodded and replied, "Very good." Then the official will arrange for two officials to help you move and make sure everything goes smoothly. ”

Tai Hao waved his hand and politely refused: "Thank you for the kindness of the city lord, it's just that my luggage is not heavy, only a burden." I can easily carry it myself, and I don't have to bother my brothers. ”

After hearing this, Yu Hong no longer insisted, but said: "Since this is the case, then Vice General Taihao will arrange it himself." If you have any needs, please feel free to raise them with the Officer. ”

Taihao nodded in thanks, then turned to leave, ready to start moving. He walked through the bustling streets alone, but he couldn't help but recall the conversation with the poor two in his heart. So what exactly is "goods"? What is the deal between Yuhong and the poor? Why is Yu Hong so secretive?

Taihao's intuition is like a nocturnal owl, which can catch hidden prey in the dark. He knows very well that the transaction between the poor couple and Yuhong is by no means as simple as it seems. When Yu Hong asked him for the cheats before, his words were chiseled, saying that the cheats were related to the peace of the people of Jiutu City. However, now, Taihao realizes that the real purpose behind it is probably not for the well-being of the people, but for those so-called "goods".

Back at Snow Lotus House, Taihao began to pack his bags. In fact, he doesn't have many things, mostly some daily necessities and a change of clothes. After tidying up, he climbed on the beam of the house and took down the two cheats of "Drunken Cat Catching Mouse" and "Tanuki Worshipping God", and hid them in his arms. Then he took up his burden and walked out of the Snow Lotus House.

Walking on the road to the Deputy General's Mansion, Taihao's mood was a little complicated. On the one hand, he is full of anticipation of the truth that is about to be revealed; On the other hand, he was a little uneasy about the danger he might face. However, he knew that he could not back down. For the sake of justice and truth in his heart, he must move forward.

The Adjutant General's Mansion is located in the northeast corner of Jiutu City, and after the renovation is completed, it shows its magnificence. When Tai Hao walked through the door, he was greeted by a wide courtyard filled with trees and flowers. He took a deep breath, feeling the breath of his new home, and an inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart.

At this time, four graceful and gorgeously dressed maids greeted them, their movements graceful and consistent, like four fluttering butterflies. They bowed down, their voices were crisp and pleasant, and said: "The slave maid meets Vice General Taihao, and may Vice General Taihao be blessed and safe!" After speaking, one of the maids took the burden from Taihao's hands.

Tai Hao's gaze swept over the four maids, his eyes deep and insightful. He asked lightly, "Who sent you?" ”

One of the maids, with a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament, stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to Vice Admiral Taihao, we are specially here to serve Vice Admiral Taihao on the orders of the city lord." ”

Taihao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He asked, "What, then, are your names?" ”

The four maids stepped forward in turn, and their names were announced in sweet voices: "Slave Lingcui, willing to serve Vice General Taihao." ”

"Slave Zili, I am willing to follow Vice Admiral Taihao."

"Slave Meishu, I am willing to share my worries for Vice General Taihao."

"Slave Tang Ming, I am willing to serve Vice Admiral Taihao."

Their words are gentle as water, respectful and elegant, and every subtle action seems to have been tempered, showing a profound heritage and rigorous family education. This kind of elegance is not deliberate, but natural from the bones, which makes people have to sigh at the strict training and profound upbringing behind them.

Taihao's eyes were as deep as the sea, and he watched them quietly. His heart was as clear as a mirror, and he clearly realized that the arrival of these four maids was no accident. This must have been the careful arrangement of the Yuhong City Lord, who was like invisible eyeliners, sent to his side to monitor his every move. This tactic reminded him of his past in Pinghe City many years ago, when Yao Fuji had used a similar strategy.

However, Taihao, who has experienced the world, has already developed the ability to not be surprised by changes. He didn't show the slightest panic or dissatisfaction, on the contrary, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining an indifferent smile. This smile is not only a polite response to the four maids, but also a manifestation of the firm belief in their hearts. He accepted their arrival, but also all the complexities and unknowns behind them.

Tai Hao spoke gently, with a rare kindness in his voice: "Your names are all picturesque and very beautiful. Remember, in the Adjutant General's Mansion, you don't need to call yourself a slave anymore, I will call you by your name. So, are you all all natives of Jiutu City? ”

Ling Cui replied, "Yes, Vice Admiral Taihao, we are both daughters of Nine Earth City. ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In this poor and weak Jiutu City, it is really rare to meet a woman like you who is knowledgeable, gentle and lovely. ”

When the four maids heard such praise, their faces showed a trace of shyness and joy. They said in unison: "Thank you Vice Admiral Taihao for your praise, we will definitely do our best to serve the Adjutant General's Mansion." ”

Led by the four maids, Tai Hao stepped into the room carefully prepared for him. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he was captivated by the sight of the interior. The rooms are simply yet elegantly furnished, with every detail exuding a sense of freshness and tranquility. Tai Hao's gaze slowly wandered around the room, admiring the tranquility that had been carefully created for him. The maid gently placed Taihao's burden on the table, and Taihao bowed slightly to the four maids, signaling that they could retreat. At the moment, he wanted to enjoy this rare moment of tranquility alone.

Tai Hao slowly reached into his arms, as if exploring deep memories, and took out the two yellowed cheats: "Drunken Cat Catches Mouse" and "Tanuki Worships God". He gently rubbed the pages of the book, as if he could feel the martial arts wisdom contained in it and the painstaking efforts of his master Zhan Yin.

He pondered that in the past years, he had skillfully integrated the martial arts and experience he had learned into his original martial arts mastery - "Ranger Miraculous Skills". Now, with these two cheats in his hand, he no longer plans to cultivate, after all, the way of martial arts is more important than fine.

However, Taihao is well aware of the value and importance of these two cheats. They are not only martial arts classics, but also the witness of history and the link of inheritance. He decided to keep these two books safe, as if he were guarding the deepest faith in his heart. Perhaps, one day in the future, they will shine again and bring new revelation and hope to the world.

Taihao carefully put the two cheats into a beautiful wooden box, and added a delicate small lock to the outside of the box. He placed the wooden box in the most secret part of the bookshelf and blocked it with many ordinary books to avoid being stolen by bandits.

The martial arts book of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" is divided into nine volumes, each of which contains the profound wisdom and martial arts mysteries of the ancestors of the cat clan. Today, Taihao has collected five of these volumes - "Snow Cat Fluttering", "Painting Tiger by Cat", "Drunken Cat Catching Mouse", "Idle Cat Listening to the Sea" and "Tanuki Worshipping God". These five volumes of cheats were hidden by him in different places, waiting for a future reunion.

Whenever night fell, Tai Hao would sit alone in the study, gazing affectionately at the empty bookshelves. His heart was filled with a longing for the complete version of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", and he dreamed that one day, he would be able to collect all nine volumes of cheats and arrange them neatly on this shelf, so that they could radiate the light of wisdom together.

He imagined that one day, when the nine volumes of cheats would come together, he would gently turn each page to discover the secrets of martial arts hidden within. Those esoteric words and those smart patterns will reveal to him the true meaning of Maozu Zhanyin's martial arts, and make his martial arts realm to a higher level.

As dusk approached, Tai Hao finished his dinner under the careful service of four maids. He had just returned to the room and was about to enjoy a moment of tranquility when the voice of the maid Meishu sounded outside the door: "Vice General Taihao, there is a woman named Qian Zhi outside the door who asks to see her, do you want her to come in?" ”

Hearing the name of Coriander Zhi, Tai Hao's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly responded: "Hurry up, please!" His voice revealed excitement and anticipation that could not be concealed.

Taihao didn't care much, and walked quickly to the front hall. He instructed Tang Ming to make a pot of fragrant tea and quietly waited for the arrival of coriander. After a while, Qian Zhi was led by Mei Shu to the front hall. She has a beautiful face and a unique temperament, and her smile tugs at Taihao's heartstrings.

As soon as he saw Coriander Zhi, Tai Hao's face showed a warm smile, and he stepped forward and said, "Coriander Zhi, I still want to go to Wuqu City tomorrow to find you, why did you come by yourself?" ”

Qian Zhi frowned lightly and complained: "Brother Taihao, when you left that day, didn't you say that you would go back the next day, how many days have passed, and you haven't gone to my uncle's house to find me." I thought something had happened to you, so I came to you alone. Her tone revealed a hint of worry and blame, but it also made Taihao feel her concern and concern.

Tai Hao responded softly: "Coriander Zhi, you listen to my explanation." Originally, I was going to look for you the next day, but who knew that a case suddenly happened in Jiutu City, and it was related to me. In this case, I have to cooperate with the city lord's investigation, after all, this is a major matter related to the safety of the entire Nine Earth City. How can I leave at will during the investigation? This delayed the trip to Wuqu City. ”

Qian Zhi said softly: "Okay, well, I know that Brother Taihao is busy with affairs and has no time to take care of him." I have already consulted with my uncle and decided to stay here for a long time and not to leave. I would like to be with me like a shadow, silently by Brother Taihao's side, spend the wind and rain together, and spend the sunny days together. ”

Her voice was tactful and firm, and every word revealed her deep attachment to Taihao. Her eyes shone like stars, which was an expectation for the future and a firm belief in Taihao.

When Tai Hao heard this, a warm current surged in his heart, and he glanced at Qian Zhi deeply, his eyes full of gratitude and cherishment. He knows that from this moment on, they will spend the years to come together, rain or shine, and they will rely on each other and move forward together.
