Chapter 7: Returning to the West(1/2)

Luo Fang said excitedly: This time our victory was so close that I almost died. Fortunately, a mysterious scarfaced hero drew his sword to help and killed the enemy. He suffered heavy casualties and the scorched earth was thousands of miles away.

De-leveling turned the tide of the war.

He still had lingering fear and said: "You can't imagine how dangerous the situation is. At first, we thought it was just the Second Deacon and the 3,000-strong roving army. Little did we know that suddenly the mountains and plains were filled with rogue bandits, killing us and defeating us. Fortunately, the owner of the field and the Second Deacon soldiers separated into two groups."

The main force of the enemy was contained and the mysterious hero assisted us. The great steward led his troops out of the border to fight in order to resist the enemy. Only when the master of the field lured the enemy into the trap and went to the east gorge outside the village and sent troops to help us did we defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. We pursued Baili Kill.

They even threw off their pants. Hey! Where was Ning? Xu Ziling smiled and said: Deputy Deacon, please take a seat!

Luo Fang was stunned for a moment as if he didn't know the deputy deacon was referring to him. Then he sat in the chair Xu Ziling pulled out for him and looked around as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked around and said: This house is very nice. Isn't it nice?

Xu Ziling sat down across the table and knew that because Kou Zhong knew how to coax him, Luo Fang preferred to deal with Kou Zhong rather than himself. He replied: He was summoned by Princess Ning and should be back soon!

Luo Fang showed a hint of disappointment, but was replaced by excitement, lowering his voice as if whispering a secret: "Now Zhao Quan relies on the recommendation of the second deacon because there are many people from other three departments who are more qualified than me, and the position of the third deacon has been taken."

It’s really hard for Mrs. Xu to be the chief and deputy deacon, and both of us, the second deacon, worked together. Fortunately, I performed well in this battle, but I heard that it was still up to the second deacon to ask the host for the whole time, and the chief housekeeper supported her before she agreed.

Woolen cloth.

Mr. Xu is Xu Yang, who was originally the deputy deacon of the second department. Like Shang Zhen, he likes to smoke pipes and has a good relationship with them.

In Xu Ziling's mind, Liu Zongdao glanced at Liu Zongdao's face and felt a little uncomfortable.

Does this person have a special motive for cultivating his power so actively?

After all, he and Kou Zhong are also members of his faction.

He asked calmly: Did something unfortunate happen to the third deacon?

Luo Fang snorted coldly and said: How could he show off his power and show off his power when he is usually on the battlefield? Is it time for him to show off his strength? The two of them were slaughtered when they met each other!

Xu Ziling knew full well that Tao Shusheng was secretly executed, but announced that he would die on the battlefield. If it was not to expose the family scandal, it would be to eliminate the remaining party members.

The fourth deacon, Wu Zhaoru, who always had a bad temper with Tao Shusheng, might be implicated in this matter.

Xu Ziling wanted to ask about Yuan'er's fate, but in the end he held back and asked: Is the owner back?

Luo Fang pondered and said: It's time to come back these days. The situation outside is very chaotic. After Ren Shaoming was assassinated, not only the situation in the south changed dramatically, but also in the north of the Yangtze River.

After a few more words, Luo Fang said goodbye and left because he had taken on a new important position and had everything to do.

Xu Ziling was thinking about what would happen after Ren Shaoming's death, when Kou Zhong came back with a dull expression and sat down like a dull bird, looking straight at the two empty spaces in front of him.

Xu Ziling was about to ask questions. Kou Zhong sighed dejectedly and said: The matter between me and her is finally over.

Xu Ziling stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice: Not everything in life can be perfect and happy. Taking advantage of the fact that we don't have to wait on the beauty these days, it would be more positive if we go to Mr. Lu for advice.

Kou Zhongtou said: You must heal your injuries quickly and leave no traces, otherwise you, the scar-faced hero, will show your fox tail!

※※※

The days passed like that.

As if she was afraid of them, Lan Gu did not dare to disturb the two of them, but she was happy to be free. She slipped away day and night to talk to Lu Miaozi and study the notes he had written down what he had learned throughout his life.

Due to their different natures, Xu Ziling was particularly interested in gardening and celestial science, while Kou Zhong was devoted to history, so each had his own place in the art of war and mechanics.

On the surface, Lu Miaozi didn't look like a person in danger, and his face was still bright and red, but they both knew in their hearts that he had reached the moment of reflection.

※※※

One evening, the two of them had just wanted to go to Lu Miaozi's place. Juan, who had not seen each other for a few days, came to the mall to look for them, only to find out that the beauty was back.

The two of them had ghosts in their hearts and had to go to see her.

Shang Xiuxun was sitting alone in the study room and was busy reviewing the files on the desk. The two of them greeted her in front of her desk. She just hummed and even looked up as if they were disdainful.

The two stood stunned for a while before she said calmly: Take off your clothes!

The two of them lost their voices and said: What?

Shang Xiuxun raised his head and stared at them with his pen, and said angrily: "Take off your clothes, just take off your clothes. Is there anything else? My words are orders, otherwise the family will serve you."

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: Our innocent bodies have not been shown to other women except my mother. It would not be good if others could see us if we stripped naked in front of the host!

Shang Xiuxun glared at him fiercely and said, "I didn't ask you to take off your pants and you didn't do it. Are you asking for a beating?"

Xu Ziling was about to speak out against Kou Zhong. He was afraid that Kou Zhong would reveal his identity and shouted: "Take off your clothes!"

Xu Ziling saw Kou Zhong plowing his hands three times, revealing his naked and thick upper body. He also knew that Shang Xiuxun was deliberately checking whether there were any wounds on his body. He also thought of seeing Lu Miaozi and finally gave in.

Shang Xiuxun stood up and circled around the two of them. Unable to conceal his disappointment, he returned to the desk and waved, "Go away!"

The two of them took their clothes and were about to get out, but they stopped Shang Xiuxun and said: "You are not allowed to go out until you have put on your clothes. How unbecoming is this?"

The two of them got dressed in embarrassment under her burning eyes. Seeing that she was still thoughtful, Kou Zhong tried:

Owner! Can we get out now?

Shang Xiuxun's eyes scanned the two of them several times and said coldly: Do you exercise every day?

Kou Zhong knew that she was suspicious because he saw their strong and perfect muscles and said, "Of course we will be energetic after getting up every morning and fisting for at least an hour."

boom!

Shang Xiuxun slapped his palm on the table and shouted with wide-eyed eyes: Hu! You are the last to get up in the pasture and you have to be beaten by gongs and drums before you get up. How dare you lie to me?

Xu Ziling smiled apologetically and said: It is indeed our habit to get up early, but recently I followed the owner's instructions and went to learn things from Mr. Lu every night, which made me go to bed late!

Kou Zhong didn't expect that she would pay so much attention to his and her daily life, so he had to admit in embarrassment: "The owner of the venue has a lot of information. I just passed it by and forgot about the recent changes in my life."

Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes became brighter and sharper, and he said with ease: "But Deacon Liu Er, I have never seen you practicing kung fu during the few days you have been here?"

Xu Ziling was afraid that Kou Zhong would brag again and hurriedly said: "It's all because we saw the second deacon and they all have great martial arts skills. How dare they practice the ax master Mingjian."

Shang Xiuxun stared at him dubiously for a while and sighed: If one day I find out that you are hiding something from me, I will definitely kill you with my own hands.

Kou Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief knowing that she no longer doubted that Xu Ziling was a scar-faced monster and said respectfully: Can we get out now?

Shang Xiuxun raised his pretty face and said with anger and annoyance: No! The two of them were stunned by this.

Shang Xiuxun pondered for a while, waved his hand and said: Go ahead! But you have to come and report the old guy's condition to me every day.

Kou Zhongdao: When should I come to see the owner?

Shang Xiuxun said impatiently: I will find someone to summon you. Get out of here immediately!

The two of them slipped out as if they were pardoned by the emperor.

※※※

They were all shocked when they saw Lu Miaozi upstairs.

Lu Miaozi still sat upright, but her face was no longer half-bloody, and she closed her eyes and remained silent.

The two people rushed to help him, Lu Miaozi let out a long breath, opened her eyes and said: Help me down!

Kou Zhong jumped up quickly and reached for the bookcase to pull down the iron rod that opened the tunnel. The basement entrance appeared in front of him with the sound of the iron rod rolling.

Lu Miaozi said: I have packed up the things and notes I left for you so you can take them away when you leave.

The two of them helped him enter the tunnel and arrived at the basement. They were surprised to find that there was a stone bed in the middle of the basement, complete with pillows and bedding, so they moved him onto the stone bed and lay down on it according to Rumaeko's instructions.

Lu Miaozi leaned his head on the wooden pillow and folded his hands on his chest. After the two of them covered him with a shocking red embroidered quilt, the dying old man sighed: Life is just a fleeting moment. When you think that life will never reach the end, it will be there in the blink of an eye.

The moment of taking the last few breaths.

Kou Zhongsheng felt like crying but couldn't shed a single tear and said firmly: Sir, don't worry! We will kill the witch from Yingui to save you.

Lu Miaozi shook his head and smiled bitterly: You do what you can! Now there is really no difference between meeting Zhu Yuyan and dying. Besides, my hatred for her has completely disappeared. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to accompany Qingya for twenty-five years.

What’s more, I didn’t know that she was the only one in my mind. That’s it! That’s it!

The two of you look at me and don't know what to say.

Lu Miaozi gasped softly and said: "Let's go! Remember what to do."

Xu Ziling said in shock: Sir is not dead yet!

Lu Miaozi suddenly became energetic and said slightly angrily: Do you want to see how useless I look after I die?

When the two of them didn't know what to do, Lu Miaozi softened and said slowly: "Kowtow to me three times each and leave!"

I can't hold on any longer. Ha! Death is not so terrible. I wonder what will happen next?

The two of them hid the things Lu Miaozi gave them and left the building dejectedly, which became lonely and desolate.

Kou Zhong put his right hand on Xu Ziling's shoulder and sighed bitterly: The old guy is probably the best person to us besides my mother and sister Susu.

However, the school girl left after only a few days of getting along like that.

Xu Ziling sighed when he thought of Su Su.

Kou Zhongdao: Should we leave tonight or tomorrow morning?

Xu Ziling shook his head and said: No! There is no point in us leaving now!

The image of Li Xiuning appeared in Kou Zhong's heart, and her words that told him to forget her still echoed in his ears:

Okay! Get Jing Zhongyue back and we can try to escape.

When she was looking at the door, Lan Gu came towards her and said: You two immediately pack up your belongings and go out with the host. What an honor for you! The host appointed you two to serve her meals along the way!

The two of them looked at each other blankly.
To be continued...
