Chapter 128 The House Chief
Xu Ziling went back to the Dalongtou Mansion and slid in from the high walls. He also looked at whether there were anyone everywhere. He walked into the corridor and walked back to his small courtyard. Zhang Li was waiting at the door of the small woodshed. When he saw Xu Ziling coming back, he immediately came up and smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is back?"
"What's the matter?" Xu Ziling asked casually.
"Mr. Tu is looking for you!" Zhang Li said respectfully.
"Is it Tu Shufang?" Xu Ziling said carelessly: "What's wrong with him looking for me? Why can't he find me in this little yard?"
"He has a lot of work, so he's busy!" Zhang Li quickly made an excuse for Tu Shufang.
"Then I'll go find him!" Xu Ziling sighed faintly and said, "Who told him to be Tu Shufang!"
Tu Shufang dressed very simply, wearing a gray dress, which was more inconspicuous than the blue dress worn by ordinary family generals, and he didn't look like a general manager at all. His appearance was also very ordinary, his face was purple, and his eyes were hidden in the divine light. Ordinary people could not see it at all. If he was given a hoe, he would be an old farmer in the countryside.
He is actually not too old, he is just a middle-aged man, but he is a little older. He also holds a cigarette pipe that rural farmers like to smoke, and smokes leisurely, not like a mansion manager. However, he is quite respected. Many people nodded slightly to him when they walk by. Even the flatterer Zhang Li showed an admiration when he sees him.
Xu Ziling looked at his hands.
The hands were extremely large, their five fingers were as thick as one, and their mouths were like clamps. The square hands looked particularly vigorous.
No matter what you hold these hands, you can't let go easily. These are definitely a pair of powerful hands. Xu Ziling exclaimed in his heart.
"Sit!" Tu Shufang was quite polite, and first greeted Xu Ziling: "My name is Tu Shufang, and he is the headmaster of the mansion. I have something to talk to you about. I originally wanted to come to find you yesterday, but you went out yesterday and didn't come back for a night, so the lady sent me over to ask."
"I'm interested." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "I saw a friend last night, so I didn't come back to sleep. But wasn't Zhang Li helping with chopping wood?"
"Sharing firewood?" Tu Shufang smiled and said, "Miss has told you not to chop firewood anymore. She just wanted to ask the bet you made with her. Is it still counting? If it counts, then she wants to see what skills you use to earn that hundred taels of silver."
"Ah, I almost forgot about this if you didn't say it." Xu Ziling suddenly realized: "One hundred taels of silver are not much, but it's not too much. It seems that I have to prepare well."
"Young Master Xu's only one hundred taels of silver, why should you prepare for it?" Tu Shufang smiled and said, "Last night, the top ten wealthy households in Xingyang lost thieves in a row, losing thousands of gold, just a hundred taels of silver. Compared to Young Master Xu, you are just a drop in the bucket. Young Master Xu, your inner breath is extremely strange. You are obviously a top-notch master who is extraordinary and saint, but you are as inconspicuous as an ordinary person. If Tu saw this with his own eyes, it would be difficult to believe this."
"When did you see me using martial arts?" Xu Ziling smiled and said, "What does the thieves in the eight rich families in Xingyang have to do with me? They are just unkind and have been sent to heaven!"
"I can't control the wealthy families in Xingyang, and I'm too lazy to care about it." Tu Shufang nodded and said, "I'm a little interested in who is Mr. Xu."
"Normal person." Xu Ziling sat opposite Tu Shufang, laughed and said, "I am Susu's husband, it's that simple."
"Then why did Mr. Xu hide his me and enter our Great Dragon Head Mansion?" Tu Shufang asked again.
"Because Su Su wants to come and bid farewell to her sister-like eldest lady, and I don't want to get involved in the battle between your leader Zhai Rang and Pushan Duke Li Mi, and I don't want to care about your Wagang Village, so I have to come in as an ordinary person who can't do martial arts." Xu Ziling said curiously: "When did General Manager Tu see me using martial arts? You discovered that, why did I not respond to it myself?"
"I am the same as Mr. Xu, and I am better at hiding my breath than ordinary people." Tu Shufang smiled and said, "That night, Zhang Li was on the night. Later, I found that Mr. Xu was not seeing anyone, so I looked around. I woke him up. When I got up, I saw Mr. Xu's high martial arts skills. Later, I asked Zhang Li again, and I also saw the silver stick made by Mr. Xu with silver ingots, and I sighed that I was not as good as that."
"Why did I say that Zhang Li is so obedient?" Xu Ziling laughed and said, "It turns out that you have helped him scold him later."
"Although I know that Dalongtou cannot have a master like you to do a secret army, after that incident, I also know what you mean. If you don't want to cause trouble in Dalongtou Mansion, it's not my enemy of Tu Shufang." Tu Shufang nodded and affirmatively: "So, let's enter Dalongtou Mansion freely in the future, and I won't ask you again."
"Although I am not your enemy, I will not help you." Xu Ziling stood up and glanced at Tu Shufang and said, "I'm glad that General Manager Tu is so clear about the matter. I'll repay you with a small suggestion! Protect your young lady from Xingyang as soon as possible, and the sooner the arrangement, the better."
"What do you mean..." Tu Shufang said with a serious face: "Our big leader can't beat Li Mi after all?"
"Don't you understand if you can fight or not?" Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "The day when Li Mi captured Xingluo Cang, that is, when your big leader returns to heaven, you can't tell whether you return this? How many people in the Wagang Army now listen to your big leader? Apart from a few old subordinates like you who are extremely old and nostalgic, you big leader has nothing."
"Even if the failure is temporarily, can the big leader not make a comeback?" Tu Shufang sighed lightly, "He will not die, right?"
"I wouldn't say he was seriously injured. Do you think Li Mi could fight alone with everyone?" Xu Ziling snorted: "Li Mi dares to kidnap your daughter, Sima Zhao's heart, has long known everyone."
"..." Tu Shufang nodded heavily and said, "Su Su has talked to me before. She said that if I want to protect the eldest lady, I will ask you to help. It seems that she is right, you do know a lot. I am the only one in the house who knows about the eldest lady, and I dare not reveal it to everyone. What I am afraid of is panic. By the way, you said that the big dragon head was seriously injured. When did he get injured?"
"Li Mi and Zu Junyan set up a plan, used Zhai Jiao as bait, pretending to trade with the Turks, and severely damaged the big leader who was trapped." Xu Ziling said softly: "I couldn't see it at that time, and I also stunted Li Mi. But no matter how severe Li Mi was, it seemed that your big leader could not be his opponent, because he had too many people to help, and he used the power of everyone, and your big leader was only alone, and he could not support it. Needless to say, the consequences would be known."
When Tu Shufang heard this, his face looked awe-inspiring, and a little bitter, and there was even more helplessness.
"Since I got Xingyang, the big dragon head is indeed not the big dragon head before." Tu Shufang said bitterly: "He can't listen to what my old subordinates who have been with him for many years."
"It's useless to listen to it." Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "No matter his personal charm, reputation, martial arts, knowledge, employment, strategy, and even superficial artificiality, he is far inferior to Li Mi. From the day he took Li Mi to the Wagang Army, he was destined to raise a tiger and be defeated. It's useless to be loyal to you, and with the power of a few people, he is powerless to turn the world."
"Miss, I wonder what Mr. Xu has to suggest?" Tu Shufang suddenly smiled at the sky and said with a heroic attitude: "Tu is not such a person who is greedy and afraid of death. Even if he is unable to make up for the future, he will definitely protect the safety of the lady and live up to the leader's responsibility for safety on the same day to Tu's trust."
"I can have any good suggestions." Xu Ziling laughed and said, "But I believe Li Mi's main focus is on your big leader. He will not pay too much attention to the safety of the young lady. He will take the opportunity to start a chaos and quickly take your young lady to escape. There is not much time left now. Xingluo Cang is about to capture, and Li Mi is about to attack. It is better for General Tu to make arrangements earlier."
"Is there any possibility that the young lady can regain the ambition of a big leader?" Tu Shufang asked again.
"If there is." Xu Ziling said lightly: "There will be no place to die. If you are a rich girl in peace, you will definitely have no worries when you have three meals."
"Miss, she..." Uncle Tu sighed inwardly: "She is not a handsome guy. Although she has a bad temper, she is still kind-hearted. I watched her grow up and was half of her elders. I understand her very well. Mr. Xu, there is no malice in what she said to you, and you don't have to keep it in your heart."
"How can I care about her?" Xu Ziling laughed and said, "She was nervous that Susu couldn't find her good husband's house. Although her behavior was not pleasant, her intentions moved me very much. Let's do this. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. If possible, I'm willing to help her with some favor."
"Mr. Xu is indeed a kind and righteous person." Uncle Tu Fang Xi said: "Su Su has told me a lot. At first, I was a little worried, but now I finally let go of the big stone in my heart."
"It seems that Su Su has really told you a lot of my things, otherwise you would not have had such high expectations of me." Xu Ziling shook his head and smiled.
"She is also a nervous lady." Tu Shufang laughed and said, "You don't know how surprised I heard it at that time. You can't believe that those things were said by a girl like Susu. You were so stupid. Later, you fucked several wealthy families in Xingyang without anyone noticing, and I really believed what Susu said in my heart. If she hadn't said that earlier, how could I dare to speak so deeply with you?"
"Since that's the case, I'm not afraid of ugly words coming first." Xu Ziling also smiled and said, "I don't care about your big leader, and I don't want to care about your eldest lady's affairs. I will only take Su Su away at that time. But if necessary, if there is a chance, I will hit Li Mi's side so that they won't win so arrogant."
"I understand." Tu Shufang nodded and said, "I won't tell him clearly where the big dragon head is. I will only give him hints. Is this OK?"
"It's up to you." Xu Ziling said casually: "Anyway, he won't listen."
