Ruins of the past

In the past few days, although the dog demons under Chu Qiguang were also wandering on the streets, they approached Hao Yongnian and other servants of the Hao family with purpose.

They passed by restaurants, teahouses, and shops and listened to the conversations of the Hao family's servants.

They squatted outside brothels and brothels, listening to the conversations of Hao Yongnian's guards and boys.

Even if it was just the intelligence collected on the street, Chu Qiguang knew Hao Yongnian better.

At this moment, outside Sixi Hall, Chu Qiguang looked in the direction of the gate, recalling the information collected in the past few days in his mind: 'Hao Yongnian, 26 years old this year.

With a cruel, cruel, impulsive and reckless personality, he is a well-known bully in Qingyang County. He is greedy for women and likes to linger in bars and restaurants. He often talks to Chu'er and says that it can ward off bad luck.

On weekdays, I always bring six or seven thugs with me when I go in and out. They are all domestic slaves trained by the Hao family since childhood. They have the strength of the first and second realms of martial arts...'

‘He’s just a standard dandy, and at first glance he looks like a pervert. ’

'It's a pity that I only have dog demons under my command now, so they can only collect information on the streets. If there are cat demons coming to climb over the wall, even more information can be collected. ’

Chu Qiguang glanced at the rows of sedans waiting at the gate and found the one belonging to Hao Yongnian. Hao Yongnian's personal servant was sitting next to the sedan.

Originally, according to the court system, only those who were promoted could sit in a sedan carried by two people, and those with official status could ride in a sedan carried by four people. It was considered a transgression for someone like Hao Yongnian to ride in a sedan without staff.

However, now that the government is different from the past, Hao Yongnian's own family background is enough to walk around Qingyang County, so naturally no one will care about him riding in a sedan chair.

Seeing the boy get up and go to the side alley to urinate, Chu Qiguang immediately followed him.

Turning around and seeing that no one was following him, he walked directly to the boy and stuffed five taels of silver into him.

…

After a while, Chu Qiguang walked out from behind the alley, and Qiao Zhi, who was watching, asked curiously: "What did you say to that boy?"

"I gave him five taels of silver." Chu Qiguang said calmly: "Then I told him that I found a stunning beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. She is still a baby, and now I have arranged to live in Zaoyuan Street."

"I said I wanted to apologize to Hao Yongnian, but I was afraid that Hao Yongnian would know it was me and wouldn't appreciate it, so I wanted to sacrifice this girl first."

"As long as he can invite Hao Yongnian to Zaoyuan Street tomorrow, I will give him another five taels of silver afterwards."

Qiao Zhi said with heartache: "This is another loss of ten taels of silver. This guy can't make ten taels of silver in a year. I think he will do it if you give him three taels."

"These ten taels of silver are worth it." Chu Qiguang knew that such personal servants in this world could be regarded as confidants. Some masters and servants would even communicate in depth and have a deep relationship.

"That boy wants to earn ten taels of silver from me, and he also wants to please his master. After listening to my words, he will definitely recommend him. There is a 70% to 80% chance that Hao Yongnian will go there. If he doesn't go tonight, he will go tomorrow night."

"As for the ten taels of silver, weren't we just given five taels now..."

Chu Qiguang laughed: "As long as I get back the five taels I gave him, I won't lose even one tael of silver."

…

The next night, Laotu and Xiaotu squatted at the intersection of Zaoyuan Street, seemingly waiting for something.

Xiaotu yawned and looked bored: "Why aren't you here yet?"

Lao Tu looked around with wide eyes and said seriously: "Be serious, we are standing guard. This is a task ordered by our godfather. We cannot make mistakes."

Xiaotu curled his lips: "Why do we have to stand guard so that guy Da Tou can accompany my godfather? I also want my godfather to touch me."

While they were talking, the two dog demons saw Hao Yongnian's sedan being carried in. They had been watching Hao Yongnian several times in the past few days, and they recognized it as soon as they saw it.

Lao Tu was excited and said to Xiao Tu: "I'm keeping an eye on this. Go and report to your godfather."

…

Outside a courtyard on Zaoyuan Street, Chu Qiguang was hiding in the shadows opposite the courtyard, touching Qiao Zhi with one hand and his big head with the other.

Chu Qiguang asked: "Is the person still inside?"

The Shar-Pei dog nodded, rubbed his head flatteringly on Chu Qiguang's palm, stuck out his tongue and said: "Don't worry, godfather, I asked the brothers to keep an eye on me. Except for going out once three days ago, we haven't seen each other again." He came out."

Seeing his dog-legged appearance, Chu Qiguang nodded, touched the dog's head and continued: "Datou, I let you command the dog demon because you are obedient. Work hard in the future and I won't treat you badly. .”

The Shar-Pei's big head shook its tail and licked Chu Qiguang's palm flatteringly.

Hidden in the courtyard in front of them was Lin Nan, who the dog demons were looking for.

These dog demons had an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They found the location of the bun shop after smelling it. Then they followed Chu Qiguang's order and sent the dog demons in turns to keep an eye on it.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang looked at the small courtyard where Lin Nan was hiding, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes from time to time, as if there were signs of illness again. He asked Qiao Zhidao: "You will also be piled to death in the fourth level of martial arts, right?"

Qiao Zhi said: "You asked me several times."

Qiao Zhi said: "Let me say it again, as long as you have not passed the 25th level of righteousness and entered the Tao, you are still a mortal. Even if you are at the fifth level of martial arts, you will have to fight hundreds of people in the battle formation and you will have to escape. If you are at the fourth level of martial arts, there will be more than ten Masters at the second level of martial arts can prepare themselves in advance and have a chance of surrounding them."

"Otherwise, why would Lin Nan be hiding?"

Qiao Zhi added: "But on the other hand, if we fight head-on without using conspiracy and tricks..." At this point, he specifically glanced at Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang looked innocent: "What are you looking at me for?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Anyway, in a head-on one-on-one fight, one inch higher in martial arts means there is no limit to the level of superiority. A person in the third level will never be able to beat a person in the fourth level, and a person in the second level will never be able to beat a person in the third level. There is no such thing as It’s a David and Goliath thing.”

"Unless you use some conspiracy, sneak attacks with hidden weapons, or use more to defeat fewer..."

Chu Qiguang nodded, and after waiting for a while, Xiaotu flew over and whispered: "Godfather, the sedan is here!"

"Okay." Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up and he looked at Qiao Zhi: "Master Qiao, the next step is up to you."

Qiao Zhi stood up, stretched, and ran towards the yard where Lin Nan was hiding.

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and looked behind him again. Chen Gang was standing there with his head lowered. He walked over and patted Chen Gang on the shoulder and said, "Next, do as I teach you."

"Okay, Brother Dog." Chen Gang nodded respectfully.

Tonight, he watched Chu Qiguang command the dog monsters in the city, and listened to the dog monsters calling him godfather. He felt that the Chu Qiguang in front of him became more and more mysterious and unfathomable.

Chen Gang thought to himself: "This guy must be an old demon who has been wearing the skin of a second dog for many years, and he doesn't know what he is going to do."
