When Wu Xiao came back, Hongyu and Lao Xie were still in the lobby to check the accounts of the medical hall in the past few days, and when they saw Wu Xiao coming back, she immediately put down what she was doing and walked over.

"I came back so late, didn't I eat?" said Redfish

"Not yet, what else is there to eat at home?" Wu Xiao said

"There is still some food, I'll let Mother Wu heat it up, you go to rest first, and send it to the room later" Hongyu said

Wu Xiao answered and went upstairs first, he wrung a wet towel, wiped his face, and lay down on the bed with his clothes.

When he seemed to be about to fall asleep, he felt that someone was touching his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the red fish didn't know when he was lying next to him and was looking at him stupidly.

"How does it feel to go to the school today?" asked Redfish

"It's not bad, some gains, there are quite a lot of doorways" Wu Xiao turned over, wrapped his arms around the waist of the red fish, and rested his head on her lap.

"Why don't you go next time, I heard that this temple is not only an exam, but also a chance to socialize outside" Redfish patted him lightly on the back

At this time, Wu's mother's voice came from outside the door: "Girl, the meal is ready"

"Send it in," Hongyu said as he pulled Wu Xiao up and sat down at the table

Wu's mother put down the food, went out with the tray, and closed the door.

Hongyu quietly watched Wu Xiao eat, and then said: "This year, Wu Sheng's shopkeeper Wu sent someone to send a letter over, saying that someone had made an appointment, and asked you to go to Tiangongfang Salt Store early tomorrow morning to discuss how to arrange it."

Wu Xiao nodded to indicate that he understood, and then he said, "You say, how can you send some money to others without hurting his face?"

"A friend you met today?" Redfish asked, tilting his head

"Yes, this person is good, but his family background is not good, I estimate that he has been in Beijing for a long time, and the silver has been almost spent," Wu Xiao said

"Well, find him some work," Redfish said

"Let him copy the book, he can write well, let Lao Xie do it" Wu Xiao thought for a while

"Okay, I'll let Lao Xie run tomorrow, bring the deposit, and say it's your recommendation" Hongyu smiled

Early the next morning, Wu Xiao took Yan Nu and Zhaohu to the Tiangong Workshop, where Wu Sheng and more than 20 Salt Gang brothers had been waiting for a long time.

"Hall Master, we made an appointment at Yangmingshan, at noon, how do we arrange it?" Wu Sheng asked.

"How many people do you estimate they have," Wu Xiao asked

"I'm afraid that there are thirty or forty people, their Qingzhou Gang is not as good as us, they usually don't make a living, just look at the field, buy and sell, collect protection money or something, and raise a bunch of thugs" Wu Sheng said

Wu Xiao thought about it for a while, and after some arrangement, everyone was ordered.

Yangmingshan is a big mountain in the south of the city, the mountain is relatively steep, only there is a gentle slope at the southern foothills, Wu Sheng and the Qingzhou Gang are about here.

At this time, in the clearing in the forest in front of a land temple, there were already a few people sitting, led by a burly, middle-aged man with a horizontal face, he sat on a stone and closed his eyes to recuperate, and several minions under his command were looking around.

From afar, two people came from the path at the bottom of the mountain, one old and one young, it was Wu Sheng and Yan Nu.

When they approached the Qingzhou Gang, they confirmed that Wu Sheng was coming, but they wondered in their hearts, why did Wu Sheng come alone, and he brought a little girl, is he really not afraid of death?

"Master, Wu Sheng is here," the little minion hurriedly stepped forward to report

"How many," the helper asked

"He, he's alone, and he has a little girl"

"He's a dog/mother's old Wu dog, he looks down on Lao Tzu too much, today I'm going to avenge Brother Zhang" The gang leader's eyes widened angrily, and the little minion took a step back in fright.

"Shopkeeper Wu, you are really bold and knowledgeable," the helper shouted to Wu Sheng, who was ten steps away

"Gang Leader Chen's courage is not small, I have helped Salt gain a foothold in Chang'an City for many years, and friends from all walks of life have given us a little face, only you Gang Leader Chen dares to eat anything, so I am not afraid of burning your mouth" Wu Sheng said

"I Chen Heng likes to eat hot food, don't go back if you come this year, this chick you brought is good, are you going to give it to my uncle to warm the bed?" Chen Heng laughed, and a group of minions also laughed.

He made an upward gesture, and seven or eight minions surrounded Wu Sheng and Yan Nu in the middle.

"Do you think that if you do more than a dozen of our brothers, I won't dare to come out......" He was halfway through his words when Yan Nu suddenly made a move.

She moved her hands, and two cold rays of light shot into the throats of the two people on the left and right respectively, and the two fell to the ground in response, and before the others could react, Yan Nu had already held two short knives in her hands, and she jumped backwards, and rushed over with an arrow step, cutting the throat of the person behind.

Her series of actions were only between lightning, and when the three of them fell to the ground, the others reacted, and they instinctively rushed towards Yan Nu with knives.

Yan Nu turned around and a cold light passed, rushed to the front which person realized his left eye with both hands, and fell down in a burst of screams, she rolled on the ground, dodged two steel knives, and then turned around and cut on the heels of the two, the two immediately felt a piercing pain in their hearts, knelt down, and then saw Yan Nu rush forward and slide through the middle of the two, and a bloody arrow spewed out from their throats, shooting straight at Chen Heng who was five steps away.

At this time, there were only Chen Heng and the other two minions left, which Chen Heng had a look of shock on his face, as if he saw a ghost, turned around and ran backwards, ran a few steps before remembering something, and blew a loud whistle.

But the ambush soldiers who were supposed to appear did not appear in front of him as he intended, only the screams in the distance responded to him.

Chen Heng's heart was shrouded in a shadow, cold sweat broke out, when he looked back, Yan Nu was still standing in place and did not move, but Chen Heng felt that he couldn't run away no matter how he ran, and the two little minions were already frightened, and they didn't know what to do.

Soon, from behind the hillside in the distance, more than two dozen people came out, led by a tower-like young man with a huge copper hammer in both hands, and walked in front of Chen Heng.

The ambush came, but it was not his person, Chen Heng was blindsided all of a sudden, and the two little minions subconsciously threw down the soldiers, hating their parents for having two legs, and ran to the woods on both sides.

But before they could run ten steps, they died under Yan Nu's hands/crossbow, and at the same time as they slowly fell, Chen Heng also collapsed to the ground.

Zhaohu walked over, grabbed the back of his neck with one hand, and dragged him to Wu Xiao who was slowly walking over like a chicken.

When Chen Heng looked up, he saw a very delicate-looking young man standing in front of him, there was a faint curiosity on the young man's face, he looked completely harmless.

But Chen Heng felt inexplicably afraid, he was even willing to summon up the courage to fight with a female ghost, and he was not willing to face this beautiful young man.

"Who instructed it?" Wu Xiao asked lightly

Chen Heng then remembered what he was asking, but he hesitated.

Wu Xiao glanced at Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu understood, lifted the copper hammer and smashed one of Chen Heng's arms into a meat patty, the shattered bones were mixed with the red, red and white flesh and blood, and the dye splashed on the ground, Chen Heng immediately fainted in pain.

Fortunately this time, few of the brothers of the Salt Gang vomited, and when they fought in the forest just now, they really couldn't stand Zhaohu's style, and after the fight, there were seven or eight brothers who couldn't afford to vomit.

After Chen Heng woke up, he immediately said: "Don't fight, it's the city patrol capital, it's the capital of the capital."

Wu Xiao didn't look at him either, Zhaohu squatted down, touched the back of Chen Heng's neck, and with a little effort, he only heard a few rattling sound of broken bones, and Chen Heng fell to the ground.

"Return his head, and give some gifts to the capital at night" Wu Xiao looked at Yan Nu

Yan Nu nodded, stepped forward and cut off Chen Heng's head and threw it into a cloth bag.

"Just put it at the head of his bed, don't kill him," Wu Xiao added as she looked at Yan Nu very seriously.

"Okay" Yan Nu replied, Wu Xiao glanced around, and walked towards the mountain.

Zhao Hu lifted the copper hammer and chased after him, and when he caught up, Wu Xiao seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, looked back at Zhao Hu and said slowly: "Can you be cleaner in the future?"

Zhaohu thought about it, lifted the copper hammer in his hand and shook it twice, and several pieces of flesh and blood stuck to it fell to the ground with his shaking: "Big brother, you see, I can't be clean like this"

That night, Wu Xiao went to Mingyue Xuan alone for a banquet, and when he arrived, the other four people had already arrived, in a private room, a table of dishes was set on the table, and a plainly dressed woman sat quietly next to Zhu Sizhe, gently holding his arm.

When several people saw Wu Xiao pushing the door in, they all stood up.

"Brother Xi, you're late, you should be fined three cups," Shen Ming said

"Okay, it should be," Wu Xiao said with a smile

The woman picked up three wine glasses and put them on the table, poured three glasses of wine, Wu Xiao did it one by one, and a few people let him go. During the banquet, Samming is the most able to gag, the atmosphere is very lively, a few glasses of wine, and the strange feeling between each other quickly disappears.

"This is Mingyue Xuan's top brand, Ziyan has always rarely gone out, that is, our eldest son Zhu has this blessing" Sam Ming teased.

"Are you jealous or envious?" said Zhu Zhesi with a light shake of his fan

"I'm jealous and envious," Samin laughed

"It's not simple, Mingyuexuan's sisters are not only me, there are still a few above me, I will introduce one to several sons in Ming'er, lest the sons of Shen say these sour words here" Ziyan said softly

"It's better to say goodbye, my uncle is still in Chang'an, if he knows, my father will have to break my leg when he goes back" Shen Ming excused himself, and several other people also agreed

"Do the sons look down on our background, or do they dislike our Ming Yuexuan's sisters for being too ugly, and they feel more and more that I am sitting here and staining the eyes of several sons" After speaking, she hid her face and cried, which look like Jing is very cute

Zhu Zhesi hugged her lightly and coaxed her for a while, she burst into tears and smiled: "It's still a child, you love Ziyan, these sons are blindly making fun of me"

"Yes, you're too powerful, we're scared of you," Samming said with a smile

"Where is this, at least a glass of fine" Ziyan looked at a few people

Several people had to admit punishment, and Zhu Zhesi picked up the wine glass and drank with several people.

"Brother Yu has news recently," Zhu Zhesi said

Yu Jintang didn't answer his words, but turned his head to look at Wu Xiao and said, "Brother Xi, do you know who the head of the Qixia Academy is?"
