Xiuxian is like this

The eunuch smiled amiably, and he was not a nice person at first glance.

It's not that he is cowardly, but that as a good person, he should draw a clear line between him and the bad guys, and when he rises up in rank, the line between good and bad is blurred, so that he can fight with the bad guys.

In the carriage, Wei Mao stared at Lu Bei quietly without saying a word.

Lu Bei looked at him as if nothing had happened. After a while, he whistled and looked away. He opened the curtains and looked on both sides of the street.

One step late, Yunshuilou passed by, and only a little powdery smell wafted into the carriage.

"Master Kui gave you a lot of benefits when I was alone with the prefect, right?"

"No, he humiliated me with money. I was very angry and rejected him on the spot."

"How much did you take?"

"5000 taels of silver notes."

"I want ten thousand."

"make a deal."

On the other side, after Wei Mao's carriage left, Zhu Ting smiled more kindly, and led the trembling Zhu Kui towards the prefect's mansion.

Tonight, the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and the guests and hostess had a great time. He was a bit full, so he didn't plan to take the car, and it was time to take the path home.

The kind of small road where there are no people at night.

Thinking of the oolong incident on the wine table, Zhu Ting felt ashamed for a while. This wave of self-inflicted humiliation + giving money + showing favors was simply a stain on his entire life. Wei Mao didn't laugh out loud at the wine table, just Very well behaved.

If I don't find a small road to relax, I guess I will wake up if I fall asleep tonight.

"I know what you're thinking, don't trouble that kid, it's over."

"Uncle, I'm thinking about another thing. Can we take the main road? Make it brighter so that you don't fall." Zhu Kui looked at the dark path ahead with a sad face, as deep and dark as the mouth of a giant beast. The next second would devour him.

"Ha ha."

……

The next day, instead of going to the barracks, Lu Bei found a carriage and went straight to Danfang.

No, the experience room in the novice area.

Wei Mao didn't stop him, and he didn't mention bringing Lu Bei by his side to keep him under strict supervision. After the Mingyue Tower incident, he could see that what his wife and Senior Sister Bai were thinking were purely overwhelmed.

Lu Bei will not learn to be bad, he is already very bad.

Lu Bei's arrival made Lin Bohai very surprised. Zhu Kui gave reassurance to the alchemists in the alchemy room yesterday, saying that everything will be settled, and the raw materials will be replaced with normal standards, and no one will continue to pursue this matter.

So here comes the question, everything is done, why haven't the spies who collected the evidence left yet?

Lin Bohai couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to ask. He continued to pretend that nothing happened. Under Lu Bei's call, he successively moved four alchemy furnaces to the Moyu alchemy room.

The five furnaces started refining at the same time, and experience flew up.

This brushing lasted for seven days. After a few days, Zhu Yan was supposed to come back from her mother's house. Lu Bei wanted to ask her about the situation of Lingxiao Sword Sect.

It's been almost a month and a half, and there is no news from Bai Jin. Whether he can go to Lingxiao Sword Sect for further studies, or whether he can learn more advanced skills of brushing experience, there is no information at all.

Just very ink.

If the head of the sect nods, let go of being beaten up by the junior brother back then, and the ambiguity between his wife and the junior brother, he will pack up, go back to Sanqing Peak first, and then go straight to the village in Yuezhou. Ling Xiao Sword Sect.

If he can't let go of the head, he will continue to gain experience, and when the repair of Yuhuamen is completed, he will return to his hometown to be the head himself.

To be honest, he was still thinking about the nest of little foxes on Sanqing Peak!

I haven't fed steamed buns for such a long time, I don't know if I lost weight.

Strange to worry about.

This nest of foxes is of great use to Lu Bei, and has been regarded as something in his pocket.

Don't get me wrong, it's not for his own use, but it can be of great use in his plans.

When mentioning the plan, Lu Bei immediately thought of Zhu Kui, who was from a wealthy family and had someone above him, so he was a quality cooperation partner.

Most importantly, his surname is Zhu.

In Wu Zhou, this surname represents privilege, which is almost unresolved.

As for the small misunderstanding between the two, in Lu Bei's view, it's nothing serious. In the adult world, no matter right or wrong, everyone who has money makes money, so he made this friend.

……

Zhu Fu.

The gate was closed tightly, and Lu Bei was blocked out, just like the gate of Wei Mansion that night, Zhu Kui was rejected by Wei Mao.

After hammering several times but no one opened the door, Lu Bei sighed, lamenting how hard it is to make friends, and left with a generous gift.

The roast goose wrapped in oil paper was cooked by the chef of Mingyuelou, and Lin Bohai bought it before he got off work.

Not long after he left, a carriage stopped hurriedly, Zhu Kui jumped out of the carriage, raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly.

After several times when no one answered, he took a few steps back with a puzzled face, confirmed that it was his home, and then called the door again.

If you take a closer look, you will find that this person is not Zhu Kui. He has similar appearance and body, with some slight differences.

His name is Zhu Bo, the eldest brother of Zhu Kui, he was away on errands some time ago, and he just came back today.

As the door was called, the servant opened the door and welcomed him in.

"Master, you are back."

"It's not dark yet, why is the door closed?"

Zhu Bo frowned and said, "Where is the second master, where is he, and has he gone out to fool around again?"

"My lord, the second master has been in the mansion for the past few days, and the door is closed because Xiaoxiao came to make trouble. The second master is so annoying that I lock the door and ignore it." The servant replied truthfully.

"What?"

Zhu Bo was very surprised: "Say it again, I didn't understand."

"There are young people who come to the house to cause trouble, but the second master ordered me to close the door and ignore it."

"It's so strange that my old Zhu's house was blocked one day." Zhu Bo was amused, asked where Zhu Kui was, and waved for the servant to prepare some food for him.

"Second brother, I'm back... Hey, second brother, what did you do?"

In the backyard, Zhu Bo was very surprised. In his sight, the corners of Zhu Kui's eyes were bruised, as if someone...

No need to seem like it, it was repaired by someone.

"Brother, you are back!"

Zhu Kui got up to greet him, raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes, and lowered his head in shame: "Brother, don't worry, I just fell, I fell while walking at night."

"No reason!"

Brother and foot connected, Zhu Bo couldn't bear the humiliation of his brother, and said angrily: "Second brother, don't be afraid, there is a brother to support you, you just say, who is the name of the person who insulted you, see if I don't break his dog legs?"

"Brother, be careful."

Zhu Kui hurriedly grabbed his elder brother, and whispered: "That night, my uncle and I were walking at night, and accidentally fell."

Hearing this, Zhu Bo remained silent for a while, and said after a while: "Be careful next time you walk at night, you are too old, you can't keep wrestling."

"What the elder brother said is true."

Zhu Kui smiled awkwardly, raised his hand to touch his face, and grinned again.

"What happened, you fell so badly, uncle still won't let you take medicine?" Zhu Bo asked curiously.

"This……"

Facing his elder brother, Zhu Kui didn't want to hide anything, but it was really hard to tell. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, but you have to promise not to laugh after listening."

"Second brother said this, you and my brother have broken bones and are still connected, no one can laugh at you if I laugh at you!"

"That's true."

Zhu Kui pondered the same reason, so he truthfully explained the cause and effect.

then……

"Hahaha--"

"No way, I'm dying of laughter!"

Chapter 18 Handstand for no reason

"Brother, you agreed not to laugh."

At the dinner table, Zhu Kui glanced resentfully at his elder brother. Since Zhu Bo heard the reason of the wrestling incident, his laughter has not stopped.

"Second brother, don't misunderstand me. I'm not laughing at you. I'm just happy. You and I haven't seen each other in three months. I'm so happy for you!" Zhu Bo said with a serious face, turned around and didn't talk to Zhu Kui. Looking, only shoulders shrugged.

"Brother, it's almost enough, I'm almost depressed to death."

Zhu Kui complained: "I thought you knew the cause and effect and would help me vent my anger. I never thought that you would just smile without saying a word."

"Second brother, it's not that I don't help you, but that you have to be reasonable. If you fall by yourself, what does it have to do with uncle?"

"It's not uncle, I'm talking about that young man."

Zhu Kui gritted his teeth and said: "You don't know, that kid is too bully, he relies on me to make peace with others, and he doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as him, he comes to humiliate and tease me every day, and even pretends that he wants to be my friend."

"Maybe he really intends to be friends with you. After all, you spend a lot of money, and you just give it for nothing. I would be happy to make friends with you."

Zhu Bo said casually, and then said solemnly: "Second brother, uncle has already shown his face about this matter, and he told you not to make any more troubles, so you don't want to make any more troubles, otherwise, if you make friends with the county captain, Wei Mao, uncle will only show up more no light."

"I know, otherwise I'd have gone out the door a long time ago. It's not like now, I can't afford to hide if I can't be provoked!" Zhu Kui snorted angrily.

"Okay, don't be wronged, we haven't seen each other for a long time, brother, have a few drinks with me, so you can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and heal your injuries sooner..."

As Zhu Bo said, his face turned red, and he tried his best to hold back: "Pfft, hahaha, what a terrible fall!"

Seeing this, Zhu Kui's expression became even more melancholy, and for a moment the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he took a step back, the more he thought about it, the more he lost, and hummed, "Brother, do you know how much I gave that kid?"

"How many?"

"This number."

"5000 taels, that's quite a lot, it doesn't fit the market."

"Brother, think again, the layout is too small."

"what!"

Zhu Bo slapped the table and stood up, angrily said: "You are crazy, it's just a hush money, what are you doing for so much?"

"The Zhu family can't lower their prices when doing things, they have to be worthy of the blood passed down from their ancestors..."

Zhu Kui said proudly, seeing that his elder brother looked unhappy, he hastily changed his words: "I thought Wei Mao was also planning to get a share of the pie, and I didn't want my uncle to pay a big price to solve the trouble."

"Washing powder into the coffin, you will lose face."

Zhu Bo said unhappily: "No wonder Uncle refuses to let you take medicine, and hurts you for a while, so that you have a long memory."

"What about that stinky boy, every time I think of him getting a big deal, I feel uncomfortable all over without thinking about eating or drinking."

"No way, uncle has an explanation."

Zhu Bo shook his head, and frowned slightly after a while: "However, he is indeed a bit too much, he is acting like a good boy when he gets a bargain, it is his fault for coming to provoke every day."

"So, brother, you want to teach him a lesson?"

"how is this possible!"

Zhu Bo sneered: "I counted, this kid was buried in an empty coffin, he was defiant, and he would be beaten in a few days."

"Brother is right!"

Zhu Kui was overjoyed, thinking of the warning from Zhu Ting, his face was bruised and painful, and he added: "Brother, just breathe out, don't break people."

"I know."

Zhu Bo nodded and asked, "By the way, based on your observation, does that kid have cultivation?"

"A little bit, it doesn't count, it's not as good as me!"

"That's easy."

"By the way, big brother, uncle asked you to go to him after you come back, and told you to deal with something."
