Chapter 296: Buying a House
Qin Wen frowned slightly and said, "The Fang Mansion has suffered such a heavy loss, do you have any other actions?" I also thought about it just now, now that I leave Dongcheng, the biggest hidden danger in front of me is not the Huang Mansion, but the Fang family, the strength in his mansion is much greater than that of the Shi family, by the way, what is he going to do to deal with us, have you found out?"
Lu Mo nodded and said: "According to Shi Yu's report, the steward we killed with Brother Xiao at that time was the elder brother of a concubine of the head of the Fang Mansion, in fact, he had already found out that it was the hand of our Mansion and Brother Xiao, but the head of the Fang Mansion was notoriously cautious in Dongcheng, he saw that we destroyed the Shi family, and he did not detect our high-level monks, so he has been holding back until now, and even did not hesitate to use a thousand spirit stones to frame you." ”
Qin Wen was slightly stunned and said: "If he deals with me like this, he can also say the past, but Xiao Zheng is alone, this matter is still because of him, why haven't you started against Xiao Zheng now?"
Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "It should be that he can't get too many spiritual objects if he kills Xiao Zheng, and he is afraid that after killing Xiao Zheng, he will startle the snake and let us be aware of it, I think his plan should be like this, start with us first, if the success is completely guaranteed, they will do it themselves, if they can't guarantee complete success, then continue to wait for the Huangfu to deal with us." ”
"If they do it themselves, they can get our manor and private land, as well as the spiritual objects on the monk's body, if the Huang Mansion comes to do it, it means that he is not completely sure of us, as for Brother Xiao, after taking us, the Fang Mansion is just a piggyback on him. ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "I guess Fang Fu thinks the same way, okay, during this time, I'll go to Beicheng to avoid the limelight first, and then come back after those demon cultivators can't find me in Dongcheng." The day after tomorrow will be on duty, I will go to the quiet room in the back to rest now, and I will resign from the patrol battalion in the morning the day after tomorrow, and then tell Brother Xiao to be careful. ”
Lu Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Qin Danshi, now it's not just those few demon cultivators who are looking for trouble with you, but also Fang Mansion. He has suffered such a big loss on his private land, I am afraid that if he is hot-headed, he will be in trouble with you, and you should not go to resign the day after tomorrow, and I will send a monk to talk about it when the time comes, and by the way, I will also remind Brother Xiao. ”
Qin Wen thought about it, now that his actions in the Expulsion City should have been paid attention to, he couldn't be too reckless in doing things, so he nodded slightly: "That's fine, that's right." There is one more thing, we have to set up a team in Dongcheng during this time, it is a decision made by the three deacons yesterday, each mansion will produce a few monks who are on the upper ranks, and if they come to our manor, you can pick a few monks and let them take them away. ”
Lu Mo nodded and said: "It seems that there is an extra deacon in Dongcheng now, and he also wants to be on par with Xicheng and Beicheng in terms of management, but I don't know who will lead this team of Lu Dao?"
Qin Wen smiled slightly and said, "You know this person." It's the manager of the Zhao Mansion on our private field, and we were all in the Hefu Manor last night. It turned out that he was a general of a subject country of Great Qi, and he was found by He Lao and Lu Lao in the battle of private fields yesterday, and he was appointed as the leader of this team. It is also a guarantee for the safety of our estate. ”
Lu Mo didn't expect that Steward Zhao would become the commander of this new army, so he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "He is only a monk in the Xuanshi realm now, if the military camp is expanded in the future, it is estimated that it will not be easy for a cultivator like him to govern the army. The army commanders of the West City and the North City were all spiritual monks. ”
Qin Wen pondered slightly, and an idea immediately appeared in his heart, but this idea was a bit risky, but if it succeeded, then the gains in the future would be huge, so he whispered to Lu Mo: "If you have the opportunity, you can invite Steward Zhao to the manor and see if you can ask him about the skills he has cultivated, but this matter must be confidential." ”
Lu Mo immediately understood Qin Wen's thoughts at this time, so he nodded and said: "I understand this, now in the city of expulsion, what is most lacking is the appropriate exercises, like Zhao Guanshi, you can practice to the Xuanshi realm without high-level exercises, if you have a skill, then it is only a matter of time before you break through the spiritual level." ”
Qin Wen nodded, thinking that there was nothing to explain, he turned around and left the main hall, and came to the quiet room in the backyard, because he experienced a big battle last night, and his dantian was still exhausted, so what Qin Wen needed most now was to breathe.
After pranayama in the quiet room for a day and a night, Qin Wen felt that his vitality had almost recovered, so he walked out of the quiet room and came to the main hall, and saw Lu Mo calculating the accounts, so he asked, "Have you sent someone to the patrol camp?"
Lu Mo put down the brush in his hand, nodded and said: "Go, the people sent last night saw Xiao Zheng, and now he knows that the Dao Fang Mansion is going to deal with him, so he told him that he will be more careful in the future, and during this time, in addition to being on duty, he will practice his skills in the patrol camp." ”
"That's right, Master Qin Dan, the monk I sent to Beicheng at noon today is also back, he found a suitable courtyard at the junction of Xicheng and Beicheng, the price is not high, the environment of that place is also good, most of the people who live there are children of some families in Xicheng, which is more suitable for cultivation, when do you go to see it, if it is suitable, we will buy it." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said, "Then let's go now, anyway, I don't have anything to do now, but how can the children of the Xicheng family live in the border with Beicheng?"
Lu Mo cleaned up the accounts on the table and replied: "Most of the families in Xicheng are old-fashioned families, and the head of the family can only inherit if he has the eldest son, and those who are more favored second or younger sons will go outside to set up another courtyard when their father is still alive, so that they will have a place to live at any time after they are separated." ”
After explaining this matter to Qin Wen, Qin Wen took Lu Mo out of the manor, they flew in the direction of the inner city, and brought out En Ning in the mansion close to the inner city, Qin Wen personally instructed Han Duan a few words, telling him not to go out during this time, and then the three of them came to the location that Lu Mo said in the north of the West City.
In Qin Wen's view, this is a relatively quiet neighborhood, different from those ancient buildings in Xicheng, the streets and houses here are very spacious, and they are also very clean, because the people who live here are not the heads of the family, so there are basically no monks who come and go in a hurry, and even the subordinates wearing servant clothes seem particularly comfortable.
The house to be purchased is located near the west side of the block, and the city wall of Xicheng can basically be seen from the front of the house, because Lu Mo asked the monk to notify the owner in advance, so their arrival, the owner did not show special surprise, but also warmly entertained the three of Qin Wen.
After entering the courtyard, the whole yard has a radius of five acres, it is a three-in and three-out yard, the flowers and trees planted in it exude a faint fragrance, even the road under the promenade is spotlessly cleaned, the owner is a more talkative middle-aged man, and Qin Wen's realm is about the same, after seeing Qin Wen visit the courtyard, he couldn't stop nodding and asked: "What do you think of this yard?" If it is suitable, the price can be lower. ”
Qin Wen nodded, indicating that the courtyard was very suitable, but he said with some doubts: "I think this house is good, I don't know why you are in such a hurry to move?" I don't mean anything else, if it's inconvenient for you to answer, then forget it." ”
The owner smiled faintly and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the neighbors around here also know that I am a child of the Xia family in Xicheng, because there is something in the family, let me go home to preside over a period of affairs, because the rule in our family is that the head of the family can't have a courtyard outside, so I thought about selling it." ”
Qin Wen looked at Lu Mo at this time, saw him nodded slightly, and knew that Lu Mo should have already inquired nearby, turned around and said: "I think this courtyard is good, since Brother Xia is so refreshing, I won't be polite, just according to the price Brother Xia said, let's just buy it." ”
The owner surnamed Xia was also very happy to see the smooth transaction of the yard, so he directly asked his subordinates to pack up his belongings, and then took out the deed in the main hall, and then asked someone to invite the neighbors to come over to testify, and then Lu Mo handed over the spirit stone to the owner surnamed Xia, and the house was bought as Lu Mo.
When the owner of the house surnamed Xia left, basically except for the clothes of his family, other furniture and the like were left to Qin Wen, which also saved Qin Wen a lot of things, and after sending away the owner surnamed Xia and the neighbors, Qin Wen closed the door and returned to the main hall with Lu Mo and said: "Now that the house has been bought, Ening and I will live here today, you can find two reliable and cautious monks to come here after you go back." By the way, do you know about this Xia family?"
Lu Mo nodded and said: "After I got the news of the owner at noon today, I asked people to check, the one who sold the house just now is the second son of the head of the Xia family, originally he was not qualified to return to the Xia family to inherit the position of the head of the family, but I heard that his eldest brother had a serious illness, and after the illness was cured, the vitality disappeared, and his father could only call him back after the last day." ”
"This Xia family does have the rule that the head of the family can't buy a house outside, so he is in a hurry to sell this yard, and although the people who live here are not the heads of the family, they are all descendants of each family, if he sells it to his own slaves, it is estimated that even the neighbors will not be willing.
