Chapter 239: Broken Tree Blocks (4000 words two in one chapter, monthly ticket 3000(1/2)
"But what if that person doesn't show up?"
Xu Huaiyuan asked worriedly.
Ning Xiu curled his lips and said, "If he missed such a good opportunity, it would be difficult for him to take action, so I guess he would definitely take action. Besides, even if he didn't show up, there would be no loss for us."
Xu Huaiyuan nodded and smiled, "That's true."
"But the only thing we need to worry about is that we are in the open and that person is in the dark. If he really decides to make a move, he will definitely come prepared. Mr. Xu is better off being careful."
"Well, I have a family guard who will not have any problems."
Xu Huaiyuan is still very confident about this.
"By the way, is Doctor Li really in Wuchang for a medical treatment?"
Xu Huaiyuan suddenly asked Ning Xiu and had to cough, "Cough cough, I just said it casually. Doctor Li is wandering around, and no one knows where he went. I just had a little bit of a simple relationship with him, and I haven't reached the point of making friends yet."
Xu Huaiyuan laughed: "My friend Ning, you really have you, the county lord has been deceived by you."
Ning Xiu smiled helplessly and said, "There is no other way. Only Doctor Li has this face to let Mr. Xu go to seek medical treatment in person. If you don't say that, the county magistrate will doubt it."
In fact, a large part of the reason Ning Xiu was willing to help Xu Huaiyuan was because of curiosity.
He really wanted to know if Gao Sheng was buying murderers.
Although Yu Ningxue is a little more charming girl, she is very pleasing. Such a little trick is bullied by a eunuch's adopted son, which is unacceptable.
According to common sense, Gao Sheng is very likely to buy murderous people after a conflict with Mr. Xu.
After all, this person is used to being domineering and must be unable to resist this tone. But he cannot attack Xu Huaiyuan in Nanjing, so he can only wait until Xu Huaiyuan and his sisters go out to travel far away.
The identity of the White Lotus Sect is the best cover. Even if the incident happens, the officials who are trying the case will not think about it elsewhere and will close the case quickly. This is why Gao Sheng chose to hire the White Lotus Sect disciples to do it.
It’s just that Gao Sheng needs an intermediary to contact him and act as a bond between him and the White Lotus Sect.
This middleman is an important figure. Ning Xiu felt that this person was about to appear.
There was a carriage with a black roof gallop on the official road. There were dozens of cavalry guards in front and behind the carriage. The cavalry rolled up yellow dust and rolled in a huge momentum.
In the carriage, Xu Huaiyuan bit his lips tightly, his expression quite nervous.
Ning Xiu only found it funny. Xu Huaiyuan patted his chest and said that everything was in control, but he was still a little nervous when he was about to come.
"Mr. Xu, we just need to wait quietly, that person will always show up."
Xu Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Hope."
Because it is used as bait to lead the snake out of the hole, the details must be achieved to the extreme.
Xu Huaiyuan ordered the carriage driver to whip forward at full speed, completely impatient to go to Wuchang to diagnose the disease.
But there is also a problem with this, that is, the speed is too fast and may not be able to respond quickly to what is happening in front of you.
Fortunately, there are many guards outside the carriage, and if there is any abnormal movement, they will be able to discover it as soon as possible.
When people are nervous, sweat will appear on their foreheads. Ning Xiu carefully observed and found that Xu Huaiyuan was still very nervous.
It seems that Xu Huaiyuan also thinks that this trip is very risky, so he will leave his cousin You Ningxue in Jiangling City.
Ning Xiu lifted the corner of the curtain and glanced out, and saw that there were few cars and horses passing by on the Kuangchang official road, which seemed a little deserted.
Come out, come out quickly!
If it was as Xu Huaiyuan analyzed, that person should be ready to take action now, right?
"Well!"
The carriageman suddenly pulled the reins tightly and stopped the carriage. Ning Xiu frowned and asked, but the response he received was that a big tree fell across the road, blocking his way.
What a fucking bad luck!
There are many thunderstorms in the Jinghu area in summer, and there are often situations where thunder breaks down trees.
"Mr. Xu, the road ahead was blocked by a big tree. Now I'm afraid you have to move the big tree away before you can continue moving forward."
Since Xu Huaiyuan is "seriously ill" at this moment, he is naturally not suitable to show up in public.
Ning Xiu jumped out of the carriage and checked it, then returned to the carriage and said to Xu Huaiyuan.
The tree that was struck by lightning was very thick, and even dozens of people worked together, it would not be possible to move it away in a moment.
This is really a bad move.
Xu Huaiyuan was not too frustrated.
"Well, let them move away from the broken tree."
Now they are in a hurry to go to Wuchang to "diagnose the disease", so they can't give in just a broken wood.
Since you want to act, you have to act like a person.
Ning Xiu nodded and then lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage to convey Xu Huaiyuan's orders to the Xu family generals.
The generals naturally obeyed Xu Huaiyuan's orders, and without saying a word, they turned over and got off the horse and rolled up their sleeves and started to dry.
However, the trunk of the broken tree was too thick and could not even be hugged by a person. Everyone tried hard to lift it, but only lifted it up for one foot and had no choice but to let go.
"Young Master Ning, this broken wood is too heavy, I'm afraid it won't be able to move it away for a while."
Ning Xiu frowned and thought secretly in his heart.
This is an emergency and must be resolved in time and you cannot waste too much time on it.
"Help Mr. Xu get off the carriage, let's step over directly!"
Ning Xiu made a decision quickly.
Xu Huan was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, but the young master is seriously ill now."
"It's impossible to follow the power in urgent matters."
Standing at the perspective of a patient who is suffering from tuberculosis and is eager to go to Wuchang for treatment, he will not give up seeking treatment just because he wants to ride a horse. Although Xu Huaiyuan is "weak" now, he can still ride a horse. At worst, Ning Xiu and him will ride a horse together.
Ahem, he will suffer some losses.
Poor Xu Huaiyuan, the "patient" who could not even sit on the carriage, could only be supported by Ning Xiu and pushed onto the carriage.
Even if you want to cross such a thick broken wood, you must have enough distance for the horse to run.
Everyone then turned their horses and took dozens of steps and then turned back to sprint with all their might.
The horses in the Duke of Wei’s Mansion are all peerless horses with extremely strong explosive power, and it is easy to get over this broken wood.
Even though he carried Ning Xiu, the one from Xu Huaiyuan and his two leaped easily.
If you abandon the burden of carriage, you will be moving much faster.
It was just that the expected assassination person had not appeared, which made Xu Huaiyuan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Friend Ning, is it possible that the news we spread has not reached that person?"
Ning Xiu shook his head and said, "No. We are spreading news very hard. If that person really wants to know. It must be that he is more cautious in hiding in the dark and waiting for the best opportunity to take action."
"Well, the enemy is in darkness, I am in light, so I can't be anxious."
Xu Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "But sooner or later he will take action."
Jiangling City, Zhuque Street.
Yu Ningxue wandered around the street market alone. She looked around and seemed to be full of interest in any gadget.
He slipped out while his cousin was staying in Jiangling's house. Humph, his cousin was too indifferent, so he left her to play in Wuchang Mansion.
Does my cousin think she is a burden and wants to get rid of it?
Alas, it's really hard to guess.
When he walked to a pavilion where the candy man was holding the candy, Yu Ningxue couldn't help but stop.
The sugar man this old man made was so lifelike.
Seeing that she was obsessed with her eyes, the old man who was holding the candy man laughed and said, "Will this lady buy a candy man? Which one do you like?"
"Well, I didn't bring any money. Why don't you sell the candy man to me first and I'll go back and get it?"
When the old man learned that the gorgeously dressed rich lady had no money, she immediately pulled her face down.
"Hmph, this is a small business, and you don't have any credit!"
As he said that, he waved his hand and rushed to the side.
"Give it, let it go. Don't delay the old man's business."
When You Ningxue was in Nanjing, she was cared for by her parents and lived a life of luxury. She had never suffered such grievances and immediately pulled her face down.
"What's so great!"
She walked away a few steps and was a little unwilling to accept it, so she turned her head and said, "You will regret it when I withdraw the money!"
Alas, it’s really hard to move without money. No wonder so many people want to make a fortune and make a lot of money. It turns out that with money, you can do whatever you want without looking at other people’s faces.
Yu Ningxue decided to go back and get some money.
