Chapter 55 One person and one thing
The next day, Lin Xiao went to Qinghefang City again, canceled his vacation with Shopkeeper Luo of Zhuanjintang, and resumed work as usual.
After all, this is a formal employment vacancy, and it is not good to spend three days fishing and two days drying the net, which will delay other people's serious business.
Of course Shopkeeper Luo was in a good mood when he saw Lin Xiao coming back. He pulled him to talk for a while, and then talked about the Zhu family, who was so famous at this year's "Yuanhuang Ceremony", and the "divine eye tree top" that was photographed for a sky-high price.
I am quite excited. Obviously, the enthusiasm for this ceremony will last for some time before it dissipates.
As a person who experienced it, and even one of the leaders, Lin Xiao could only go along with it and muddle through because of his identity that could not be stated clearly.
But every time he heard Shopkeeper Luo mention Hanxi Mountain and Nanshan Soul Searching Envoy Lin Xiao, as the official owner, he couldn't help but feel a little weird. It felt like he had to pretend that he didn't know him. It was really weird.
Since today was not the right day for Lin Xiao to go to work, shopkeeper Luo didn't keep him here. He told him to get some rest before letting him go.
There was no words all the way. When Lin Xiao drove his sword boat back to Ginkgo Mountain, he found a man standing in front of his residence holding a long and narrow wooden box, waiting quietly.
Seeing the figure of the man, Lin Xiao smiled in his heart and lowered the sword boat.
"Can you wait here for a while?"
When the man heard the voice, he quickly turned around and bowed. It was Guan San'er whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Replying to the Immortal Master, it won't take long for the little guy to arrive."
Lin Xiao chuckled lightly, without saying anything, and walked straight to the stone bench in the stone pavilion and sat down.
Guan San'er followed carefully from behind. When Lin Xiao sat down, he gently placed the wooden box in his arms on the stone table, then stepped back a few steps and stood aside.
Lin Xiao looked at Guan San'er and looked him up and down. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that he was originally a bad gambler in Fengchang City, but now he was well-dressed, with a calm look on his face, and a hint of calmness between his brows.
The saying "If the body is right, the mind is right, if the mind is right, the mind is right, and if the mind is right, the potential is right..." is indeed true.
But what Lin Xiao didn't know was that Guan San'er looked at him the same way.
To say that that day in the inn, when I was risking my life and fortune and asking about the follow-up mission, I heard for the first time that the immortal master in front of me announced his family name, and it was the identity of the soul-seeking envoy of Nanshan in Hanxi Mountain. I was stunned at that moment.
Unforgettable to this day.
After being shocked, what came to mind was a trace of ecstasy, because I had made the right bet. The "employee" I was working for was not a loose cultivator, let alone an evil heretic, but a powerful figure in the county who represented a famous family in the fairy mountain.<
/p>
At the same time, there was something called "hope" that was quietly caught by me.
Regarding this, Guan San'er understood clearly that as long as he followed the immortal master in front of him, the money he received would be second to none, and even if he could become a person and achieve a family fortune, it would not be a foolish dream.
Therefore, from that day on, Guan Saner worked extremely hard on the things Lin Xiao ordered. It was not until today that he came to pay his respects, and he had some confidence.
The two of them kept their thoughts to themselves, but Lin Xiao turned his gaze to the wooden box and said jokingly.
"You have only been working as a businessman for a few days, and have you learned how to give gifts door-to-door?"
Guan San'er said "Ah" and was stunned for a moment when he heard this. When he saw Lin Xiao's expression, he quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, the immortal master misunderstood the villain. This thing is not a gift from the villain!"
"Oh? It's not from you?"
Lin Xiao turned around and looked at the three-foot-long wooden box in front of him, with a piece of paper sealed with the words "Nanshan Soul-Seeking Envoy personally opens it", and his tone was quite surprising.
Just listen to Guan Saner continue.
"I received a sword letter from the Immortal Master last night, asking me to go to Ginkgo Mountain today, so I didn't dare to delay, so I got up early and rushed over. Unexpectedly, at the end of the stone path in the mountain, just under the cliff, there was this thing right there.
The little man was afraid that the birds and beasts in the mountains would touch him, so he carried him here and waited for the immortal master to return and deliver him to him."
After Guan Saner finished speaking, he took out a wooden stick less than a palm long from his sleeve and carefully placed it on the table.
Lin Xiao hummed and withdrew his gaze. "Ignore it for now. I just want to ask you, have you completed the things I told you before?"
When Guan Saner heard what was going on, he quickly bowed and answered.
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, according to the Immortal Master's instructions, the villain has spread his spies in Nanshan City to collect information. Now, near the residence of King Huang San of Han Dynasty, there are people squatting down to investigate at all times twelve hours a day, but there is a slightest sign of trouble, and an unexpected situation occurs.
, the villain will definitely deliver it to the Immortal Master as soon as possible without any delay."
Lin Xiao nodded slowly. This was the next task that Guan San'er was told to do in the inn that day - no matter what method he used or how much money he spent, he must target three families in Nanshan City.
As for the Zhu family, Lin Xiao had already chosen Yanling County as his residence at that time. Since he was here in person, he did not let Guan Saner make any more arrangements.
Then Lin Xiao asked again: "Have there been any changes in the three families in the past few days?"
"The villain is about to report this matter to the Immortal Master. The ceremony ended yesterday. There was nothing unusual in the Han family, but there was a lot of movement in the Wang family," Guan San'er said: "Listen to what the mother-in-law and the boy inside said, then Wang Yichun returned
I lost my temper at the mansion, smashed a lot of porcelain and household items, and made some disrespectful remarks about the outer door of Hanxi Mountain."
"Disrespectful words?" Lin Xiao laughed when he heard the words. Such behavior was in line with Wang Yichun's usual arrogant temper. From this point of view, nine times out of ten, it should be true.
"Yes, that's right." Guan San'er nodded and said, "If necessary, the villain can have someone record his words in a book for later use?"
"Write it down?" Lin Xiao said: "When I work at Hanxi Mountain's outer sect, do I have to punish him for using disrespectful words and be punished for his words? It doesn't have to be like this."
Guan San'er looked embarrassed when he heard this. "Xiao, Xiaoren, look at that book, it all says this..."
"Hahaha..." Lin Xiao laughed and shook his head: "What I asked you to do was to prevent villains from harming me. On the other hand, if I act like a villain, how can I act like a villain and harm others?
To defeat the enemy, you may have a good plan or a conspiracy, but if you are not yin or yang, you will be like catching wind and shadow, and in the end, you will not be able to get on the stage. You need to remember."
When Guan San'er heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "Yes, I will definitely keep it in my heart."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, not wanting to speak too harshly, so he said instead: "What about the Huang family? How was yesterday?"
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, shortly after Huang Zhangyou returned home yesterday, someone saw his son Huang Xian leaving the city in a sword boat and did not return until his son's time."
"Because the Huang family is very strict under the rule, only close confidants are allowed to walk in the courtyard where Huang Zhangyou lives, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary servants to get close to him. Therefore, why Huang Xian is on this trip and where he is going, I, I, I really want to find out.
If not, please ask the immortal master to punish you..."
Guan San'er spoke with shame, and fell to her knees after saying this.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, thinking that Huang Zhangyou moved very quickly. Did he send his son to Jinyazhai to check?
Then he looked at Guan Saner and waved his hand.
