Counting all the masters and servants of the Zeng Mansion, there are only twelve people in total.

There are three masters, namely Zeng Xian, his wife Qiao, and Zeng Xian's twelve-year-old only son Zeng Cen. There were eight servants, an old housekeeper, a cook, a groom, two maids, and three handymen and flower workers.

In addition, there is also a guest qing, who is said to be Zeng Xian's nephew in the same year, temporarily living in his house to study, waiting to go to Chengdu with Zeng Xian's family to catch the exam.

Bai Ya stayed in Zeng's Mansion for a few days, and he noticed that these twelve people, including him, actually had a total of five martial artists who were at least above the Qi Realm.

Of the four people besides him, the oldest warrior was Zeng Si, the old butler of the Zeng Mansion.

Zeng Si is very old, he has passed seventy this year, according to some rumors of old qualifications in the house, Zeng Si was not originally surnamed Zeng, and he was a Jianghu guest with high martial arts.

More than ten years ago, he was saved by Zeng Xian's father, and he was also old and wanted to live in a stable environment, so he changed his name and surname to stay in Zeng's mansion as a housekeeper.

Zeng Si has only one relative by his side, his granddaughter Zeng Hui, who is just twenty-eight this year. Maybe more than ten years ago, Zeng Si was willing to stoop to be a servant in Zeng's mansion, or maybe it was to raise Zeng Hui, who was still a girl ~ baby at the time.

According to Bai Ya's observation, Zeng Hui is also a practitioner, but this girl is still young, although her physical foundation is not bad, she still has not been promoted to the Qi realm, so she was excluded from the five people.

Since Zeng Si entered Zeng's Mansion very early, Bai Ya estimated that he should not be unfavorable to Zeng Xian. It's just that for the time being, I don't know why Zeng Si didn't react to the current situation, and he didn't reveal the truth about other people's martial arts.

Compared with Zeng Si, another martial artist who has been in Zeng Mansion for about a year is Ning Sangu, the cook lady.

Ning Sangu looked like she was in her thirties, with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat obese figure. Maybe it's because she often stays in the kitchen to cook, and her skin and flesh are smooth and shiny, so that when Bai Ya sees her, she will always unconsciously think of the fat Dongpo meat.

is such an aunt-level cook, and she is actually a clever warrior. Although Aunt Ning usually doesn't show the dew and hides it well, she still can't hide it from Bai Ya, an orthodox Taoist warrior.

Especially since Bai Ya practiced the "Qingcheng Jade Void Technique", which is also known as the "Five Qi Pulse Technique", Qingcheng Secret Transmission, he is very sensitive to qi.

Ning Sangu's inadvertently leaked martial artist's vitality was like a furnace in Bai Ya's senses. In this way, if he didn't know that Ning Sangu was a martial artist above the Qi Realm, he could really gouge out his eyes.

Although Ning Sangu has been in Zeng's Mansion for about a year, Bai Ya can't tell whether this fat woman is an enemy or a friend.

Let's say that she is a friend, Qiao's personal maid doesn't know that Ning Sangu has martial arts. Let's say that she is an enemy, this fat woman has been in charge of Zeng Xian's diet for a year, and if she wants to poison and murder, it is really easy.

The third martial artist above the qi realm is the guest who lives in Zeng Xian's mansion, and it is rumored that he is Zeng Xian's nephew in the same year, and the Confucian student Kong Qing who is waiting to go to Chengdu to catch the exam.

Kong Qingkan is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not only knowledgeable, but also graceful, which can be described as both talented and beautiful.

Not to mention his hidden martial arts, just in terms of knowledge, he was able to follow up with Zeng Xian, who was a scholar and a scholar who had edited for the Hanlin Academy, and compared poetry and writing, which almost made Bai Ya's jaw drop when he saw it with his own eyes.

Because of this, Bai Ya was never able to confirm this person's purpose, after all, Kong Qing had only been in the mansion for less than a month.

As for the letter of the same year in Kong Qing's hand that was approved by Zeng Xian, it was insignificant in Bai Ya's eyes. Maybe there is really a Kong Qing in this world, but it's hard to say if it's not the one in front of you.

But it can't be said that Kong Qing is a gangster who wants to murder Zeng Xian, after all, the human beings in this world have become martial arts, what if they are really both civil and military?

The last martial artist above the Qi Realm was the miscellaneous engineer who was exchanged in the same batch as Bai Ya.

Cheng Ming is about thirty years old, five big and three thick, with vigorous hair on his body, and a pair of arms thicker than ordinary people's thighs.

When Bai Ya first saw him, he was very strange how he was selected, because the first condition for Zeng Mansion to recruit handymen was to be able to plant flowers!

Later, when the two of them made a flower garden together, Bai Ya realized that it was different from his nonsense, and that Cheng Ming really knew how to grow flowers......

The old housekeeper Zeng Si, the cook Ning Sangu, the scholar Kong Qing, the miscellaneous engineering Ming, plus Bai Ya himself, among the twelve people in the Zeng Mansion, there are actually five martial artists who are difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the current atmosphere is extremely weird.

However, everyone knows that this fragile balance is difficult to maintain for long, and it depends on who starts the fight first.

Bai Ya is now very glad that he has infiltrated the Zeng Mansion in advance, looking at the current situation, it is a question whether Zeng Xian can survive until two months later, let alone whether he will go to Chengdu or not.

When Bai Ya first saw the situation two days ago, his hair was almost gray, and he didn't know how to protect Zeng Xian.

Before he came here, he had thought about how difficult an escort mission could be, and it would never be more difficult than capturing the dandy!

The bronze corpse Bai Tong and his defense are very strong, as long as one of them guards Zeng Xian, the remaining one sends those green forest masters who came to harass him. After gaining Zeng Xian's trust, if necessary, at most spend a little bit of teleportation beads, and let him fly to Chengdu.

But now it seems that this task is also brain-consuming, and it seems that it still needs a little eyesight to walk the rivers and lakes. No wonder Liu Yu picked such a meritorious task for him, it is so special to train people!

"Could it be that I'm going to find someone to help again?" Bai Ya secretly smiled bitterly.

He still doesn't know whether the last meritorious task of capturing the fan boy is considered to have been completed by him independently, after all, Chen Cong, one of the parties involved, is a member of the yamen. If the sect has to say that he has used the power of the government, it is also unclear.

"No, I'm afraid this task is even more difficult, if you capture the fan boy, as long as I open my mouth, the Longquan Sword Sect and the government in Guanghan City will definitely help. Bai Ya suddenly frowned, and thought privately, "But protecting Zeng Xian is not necessarily......"

"First of all, the government, Zeng Xian is in danger now, maybe it is the opponent in the officialdom who buys murder ~ kills, and asking the government for help may have the opposite effect. Secondly, Zeng Xian's official position is no longer small, with the provisions of the Immortal Fan Oath, if you go to the local Immortal Martial Sect, they will definitely refuse to help!"

Bai Ya quickly figured out the bends inside, "Therefore, my mission can only be protected in secret, even if I lose to those green forest masters, I can't report to my family, otherwise it will definitely cause controversy in Qingcheng!"

"This ...... It's even more troublesome than I thought!"

"Hey, why did you cut the lawn like a dysentery?" Just as Bai Ya lost his mind, a childish child's voice sounded not far behind him.

Bai Ya came back to his senses, looked down, and found that it was indeed the case.

He was thinking about things just now, and he didn't have the heart to mow the grass, so he repaired the lawn like a dysentery, and when he looked at it from a distance, it was almost ugly to death.

"Hehe, young master, you don't understand, this is called gardening!" Looking at the chubby Zeng Cen in front of him, Bai Ya grinned and said nonsense.

"Gardening is not like this, my mother often does gardening! You talk nonsense, I told Sister Peach Blossom to go, saying that you are a liar!" Zeng Cen rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue at Baiya, and made a grimace.

Damn, dead imps are really not cute!

Bai Ya was helpless, so he had to argue forcibly: "Who said I was lying, young master, don't look at the lawn is ugly now, but it will be beautiful later, I don't believe you are waiting next to you, I will take a look after I finish trimming!"

"That'...... Okay!" Zeng Cen was a child after all, so he hesitated for a moment, then squatted beside him with his cheeks on his cheeks to watch.

Bai Ya wiped a cold sweat with a bitter face, looked at the lawn in the east and west, and recalled the gardening patterns he had seen in his previous life.

Luckily, there were quite a few parks in the city where he lived in his previous life, and patterned gardening of lawns was not uncommon. It took him half a day, and he finally changed the dysentery-like lawn into a carp diagram with only two carps.

"Oh~~ carp, carp, mother, look, it's a carp!"

Hearing that the dead imp was calling his mother, Bai Ya was shocked, and turned around to find Qiao's and the personal maid Peach Blossom, who were standing quietly from a distance watching this side.

"I've seen Madame!" Bai Ya hurriedly squeezed out a smile and saluted.

"The pattern is not delicate enough, and the cutting skills are also new...... But it's good to be willing to put your mind to it, and you can learn more and watch more in the future!" Qiao nodded with a smile and left with Zeng Cen, which was considered to have let him pass.

Bai Ya knew that Qiao Shi had seen his depth, and he suddenly became nervous. He didn't expect that today, by chance, the lie he told when he entered the mansion had been exposed.

"Hmph, when you entered the mansion, you said that you would grow flowers, you are obviously a layman!" Qiao's personal maid Peach Blossom was still standing in place, which would be stuck in her waist, looking at him with round eyes.

"I, my family is poor, people are stupid and can eat, I'm afraid you don't want me to ......" Bai Ya flattened his mouth and quickly wiped his eyes with the onion hidden in his sleeve.

It's a pity that his physique is too strong, the onion effect is not very good, and after wiping it for a long time, his eyes are only slightly red, and there is not a single tear.

"Okay, okay, manly, don't give this girl a horse pee! Madame has a good heart, it seems that you will stay, but you are not allowed to play tricks in the future!"

"Yes, Sister Peach Blossom, Xiaoya will listen to you in the future!" Bai Ya's face was twisted, and he almost threw himself up.

However, the little girl Peach Blossom obviously ate this very much, and after humming a few times in her mouth, she left with her chin up.

When this wave of people left, Bai Ya suddenly squinted his eyes and quietly glanced at an attic in the distance, where scholar Kong Qing studied on weekdays.

During the month that Kong Qing was in Zeng's mansion, he was entrusted by Zeng Xian to take care of Zeng Cen's homework. Bai Ya vaguely felt that the little guy would suddenly break into the garden today, maybe he was hinted at by Kong Qing.

"Heh, what about the temptation, or can't help but want to clear the field and drive people away?"

A cold light flashed in Bai Ya's eyes, "No matter which one it is, at least it shows that you are not just a scholar......
