Chapter 53 The Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 52 The Calm Before the Storm
The bean-sized candle was crackling and burning, and the withered yellow candle was slowly trying to radiate its own light. Against the backdrop of the candle, An Hongzhu's thin figure looked even thinner and lonely, making one want to hug her Take pity on her, but the icy coldness on her face stopped everyone's thoughts.

"You are hurt?"

Hearing An Hongzhu's worried voice and looking at her pale and vain face, Lin Xiaoyao was not used to it. In his impression, An Hongzhu was always like a fairy in the moon palace. She doesn't have the emotions that humans should have, but she never thought that she would show a worried look, and the object of worry is herself.

People are so mean. When they ignore you, you are always expecting the other person to pay attention to you, but once the other person cares about you, you feel uncomfortable.

Lin Xiaoyao smiled helplessly. No matter what, An Hongzhu really cared about him, which already moved him very much.

"It's just a skin injury, nothing serious."

"Oh"

An Hongzhu snorted, and didn't say anything more. She just looked at Lin Xiaoyao quietly, and didn't answer Lin Xiaoyao's question just now.

Seeing that An Hongzhu was unwilling to answer, and Lin Xiaoyao didn't force it, he yawned and said to her with a smile: "It's late at night, your room has already been cleaned, and you are also very tired, go back and rest Bar."

An Hongzhu still looked at Lin Xiaoyao without moving, as if he didn't hear Lin Xiaoyao's voice.

"You don't go back? Well, I'll suffer a bit, let's sleep together, my bed is big enough, you don't have to worry about falling to the ground, but I'm a gentleman, you must not touch me , I'm very considerate, and I don't like to reject others, let alone a beautiful person like you, if anything happens, you will be responsible to me!"

As he spoke, he lifted the quilt covering his body, and knocked on the bed, with a mean smile, he said hehe.

"Shameless, obscene, and a disciple!"

An Hongzhu's pale cheeks were full of anger. She stomped her feet, looked at Lin Xiaoyao angrily, and said through gritted teeth.

"Ha... this is the Red Bamboo I know, okay, I'm really fine, let's go back and rest."

Lin Xiaoyao yawned again, looking very sleepy.

Hearing this, An Hongzhu knew that Lin Xiaoyao was deliberately letting herself relax. A grateful look flashed in her eyes, but her tone was still cold, "You fell into a trap today, but I didn't help you, and let you Injured, don't you want to ask me why?"

Lin Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, and he looked directly at An Hongzhu, until he looked a little embarrassed at An Hongzhu, and then said lightly: "Is it necessary?"

"En?" An Hongzhu was only slightly taken aback, and then understood Lin Xiaoyao's meaning. For the first time, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, but her tone was still cold, "Yes, there is no need."

After that, she stopped talking to Lin Xiaoyao, opened the window and jumped out when Lin Xiaoyao shouted "Come out of the door".

"It turns out that he trusts me so much, it feels really good..."

In the next few days, everything was carried out step by step. The restaurant was bought and gradually renovated. The restaurant was originally what Lin Xiaoyao devoted himself to the most, so Lin Xiaoyao was really busy these days. On the one hand, he It is necessary to supervise the decoration, which place should be installed in the most suitable way, and on the other hand, it is necessary to go to Zijin Xuan to exchange ditties with Zhao Xuan'er from time to time, and ask her to help find some women who can sing and dance. Help out.

As for Du Kang and Fan Xing, they followed Lin Xiaoyao's plan and began to whitewash one by one. Uncle Kang sat in Huamu Village and was in charge of personnel scheduling. Du Kang and Fan Xing, under the leadership of Coach Zhao, successively He opened an escort agency and a martial arts club, and has already started doing some simple businesses.

As for Xiao Wan'er and Xiaoxiang, they are in charge of some matters in Hutou Village. Although Lin Xiaoyao said that he didn't know the effect, they also followed Lin Xiaoyao's instructions and kept sending undercover agents to Hutou Village. Except for Hutou Village, the leaders of all other small cottages were very busy contacting, either suppressing and intimidating, or enticing them to buy them.

Five days later, in a renovated restaurant next to Slender West Lake in Yangzhou.

"In this center, build a big stage for me, and arrange the rest of the seats for me according to the stage. My request is not to be afraid of spending money, but it must look high-end and elegant, and make people feel comfortable and relaxed. You must not scare people into coming in.”

Lin Xiaoyao was in the hall on the first floor, constantly instructing the workers to carry out the decoration, how to do it, and what effect to achieve. It took him a lot of energy to give instructions.

Xiao Wan'er and Xiao Xiang sat at the same table, drinking tea, watching Lin Xiaoyao quietly with a smile on their faces, very at ease.

Ever since she was spanked by Lin Xiaoyao in the incident of encountering ambush, the relationship between Xiao Wan'er and Lin Xiaoyao has become closer. Even Xiaoxiang, Lin Xiaoyao didn't pretend to be ignorant like before, but he didn't either. Hands-on with Xiaoxiang like Xiao Wan'er, according to his words, Lolita needs to be cultivated slowly, and now she won't be beautiful after eating.

"It's really tiring to communicate with them. I don't understand anything. I always ask me why, and I am a hundred thousand why!" Lin Xiaoyao sat down, no matter whose cup it was, he picked it up and drank the tea Dry, and then complain constantly.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyao was drinking tea from her own cup, Xiao Wan'er's cheeks turned red. After all, this was equivalent to an indirect kiss, but Lin Xiaoyao took too much advantage of her, so she wasn't too shy.

"It's not that your idea is too strange. A good hotel insists on setting aside such a large space to make a stage. It's good that they didn't treat you as crazy." Xiao Wan'er gave Lin Xiaoyao a blank look, and said angrily, just words Even though she said that, she didn't object at all. In her heart, since Lin Xiaoyao was her husband, she was also her god.

"Hey...forget it, I can't explain it clearly to you, but then you will know how far-sighted I am, and you will find out how powerful your husband is."

Lin Xiaoyao sighed, looked at Xiao Wan'er like a bumpkin, and laughed.

Although Xiao Wan'er didn't understand the meaning of bumpkin, she could understand Lin Xiaoyao's strange eyes, but she had something in her heart, so she didn't want to argue with Lin Xiaoyao.

"I have received the latest news that Hutou Village is going to take action against us." Xiao Waner frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, and said lightly.

"So fast?" Lin Xiaoyao was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he was not too panicked. He thought for a moment and then asked: "How did you do with the task I gave you?"

"It's almost finished. Except for some small villages that are too loyal to Hutou village, the rest have already been in contact, and some have made it clear that they want to rebel and rebel against Hutou village." Xiao Wan'er thought for a moment, Immediately said.

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, and continued: "Those are just sloppy things, don't worry about them, as long as you have contact with them, it's good that the secret work we send can be a heavy responsibility, right?"

"They are all smart people, and their martial arts skills are not bad. As long as they don't attack the leader of Hutou Village, there is basically no problem."

Xiao Wan'er was very confident in the person she selected, she nodded and replied.

Lin Xiaoyao touched his chin, and a chill flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he stood up and said to Xiao Wan'er: "Wan'er, you are going to do two things now. The first is to report to the magistrate. There have been a lot of suspicious-looking people near the village recently, and I asked the prefect to send troops to check, and the second is to prepare some tools for defending the city, such as tung oil, bows and arrows, anyway, prepare some things that can hurt people without effort."

"Okay, here we go."

Xiao Waner and Xiaoxiang also stood up. They didn't ask the reason, nor did they ask Lin Xiaoyao how to do it. In short, their trust in Lin Xiaoyao is absolute. hesitate.

After Xiao Wan'er and Xiao Xiang left, Lin Xiaoyao sat down again. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the look in his eyes kept changing. After a long time, he sighed softly, "Are you really going to kill someone? And Still so cruel?"

Lin Xiaoyao has never killed a person, let alone a person, he has never killed a chicken. In his opinion, killing is very far away from him, so far away that it is impossible for him to happen to him, but he never thought that he would soon His hands are about to be stained with blood. If his plan is really achieved, he does not know how many people will die in his plan.

And when the time comes, I will really be covered in blood, and I will become a real executioner!

But, do you have a choice?

If you don't kill others, others will kill you. Even Lin Xiaoyao has a noble status, but he has to face this simple and straightforward law of survival. In order to survive, and for the safety of the people he likes, he must kill people!

Lin Xiaoyao slowly closed his eyes and breathed heavily, trying to make himself more relaxed, at least not so depressed.

"Lin Gongzi, Lin Gongzi"

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, Lin Xiaoyao opened his eyes, and found that the person who came was Xiaohuan, Zhao Xuan'er's maid.

"It's Xiaohuan, what's the matter?" Lin Xiaoyao said with that iconic smirk.

"Mr. Lin, miss, please..."

Seeing Lin Xiaoyao's attractive smirk, Xiao Huan blushed immediately and said nervously.

Zijinxuan Painting Boat, in Zhao Xuan'er's room.

Zhao Xuan'er's lazy chair was leaning against the edge of the embroidery bed, a few strands of hair were mischievously scattered on her cheeks, there was a hint of laziness on her fair and attractive face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were full of strangeness smile.

"Lin Xiaoyao..."

Zhao Xuan'er looked at the letter that had just been sent in her hand, and whispered softly.
