"Looking for Senior Brother?"

Xiao Jiu repeated in confusion, why are you looking for senior brother?

"Don't you see that I'm like this now? I asked my senior brother to borrow a place so I could take a bath, change my clothes, and then go back to see the teacher."

Xiao Jiu understood instantly, Qing'er, you also know what kind of dignity you look like now.

I'm afraid that even if his teacher comes now, he may not be able to recognize that this is his third disciple.

"What's that expression on your face?"

Xiang He suddenly turned around and saw Xiao Jiu's expression changing and looking strange.

Xiao Jiu forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. It's a rare time for senior brother to come back. Junior brother will definitely entertain him well."

After saying that, he added another question, "By the way, does senior brother know Li Kui?"

"Huh? Who is that?"

Xiang He is puzzled.

Xiao Jiu smiled without changing his expression, and was gentle and elegant, "It doesn't matter if you don't know him, I'm just asking casually, senior brother, don't learn from this person."

???

Xiang He has questions all over his head. Why should I learn from him? What should I learn from him?

Just as he was about to ask again, Xiao Jiu had already walked away. It was as if he had a hot wheel on his leg. He quickly walked dozens of meters away in an instant. Neither Xiang nor Chai could catch up. The two of them always kept a few steps away.

"Hey, wait for me!"

…

Xiang He followed Xiao Jiu all the way to Wubao outside the city. He asked for two large buckets of water and took a good bath. It almost washed off three layers of mud from his body, and his whole body instantly became whiter.

After washing up, I looked at the man in single clothes sitting cross-legged at the table. He was grabbing a chicken in his left hand and holding a sea bowl in his right hand. He was eating meat and drinking without delay. His movements were very heroic.

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but blurt out, "Third Senior Brother, are you coming back from a refugee?"

After understanding what Xiao Jiu meant, Xiang He took a deep gulp of wine, finally swallowed his mouthful of chicken, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately retorted, "What kind of escape! Your third senior brother, I heard about the disaster in Xun County, so I decided to

After running thousands of miles back, two horses were killed along the way, and we walked hundreds of miles to get here! Just to see how you and the teacher are doing."

"As a result, on the way, I heard that the chaos in Xun County was suppressed by the Thirteenth Young Master. Later, I heard that you, a heartless little boy, had made great achievements and became the county chief. How about it? What does it feel like to become the county chief?

How is it?"

Faced with Xiang He's joking and flattery, Xiao Jiu helplessly called out, "Third senior brother... Why have you become so glib after not seeing each other for so many years?"

"What do I mean by being glib?" Xiang He rolled his eyes, "You are too thin-skinned. You should see more of the world."

It's a good thing that the heads of the various families in Xun County didn't hear these words, otherwise their jaws would have dropped. Why is Xiao Jiu so thin-skinned?

One second you can kill people and leave people with lingering fears, and the next second you can talk to your former enemies and laugh with joy, working together for a win-win situation.

I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is quicker and more shameless than Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu did not comment on his words and looked calm.

Xiang He took a bite of meat, glanced at Xiao Jiu opposite him, and asked inadvertently, "What did you do to become the county magistrate?"

Xiao Jiu replied in a calm voice, "I pretended to be the Thirteenth Young Master and defeated the Red Lotus Army outside the city. That's it."

He spoke calmly, as if he was talking about what the weather would be like tomorrow and what he had eaten. Xiang He paused his hands and looked up at Xiao Jiu seriously, "Then it's no wonder they made you the county chief. What else?

"

"what else?"

Xiang He said while eating, "Don't tell me why you helped the Thirteenth Young Master? And why did the Fourth Young Master who was far away in the royal capital help you? How did you suppress the tens of thousands of Red Lotus cultists outside the city, and how did you suppress them?"

The major families in Xiaxun County?"

Hearing the words Fourth Young Master, Xiao Jiu was startled, then smiled and said lightly without any meaning, "It seems that Third Senior Brother knows everything. Then Junior Brother, can I ask how Senior Brother knows this?"

Xiang He knew the news too quickly, unless he was already in the royal capital.

Xiang He frowned and pretended to be dissatisfied, "I asked you first, and you haven't answered yet, so why should I tell you."

Xiao Jiuru nodded understandingly, and Shi Shiran said, "After nearly ten years of keeping a low profile, I still have some strength."

Xiang He paused completely. The meat in his mouth was no longer fragrant. He raised his head and stared at Xiao Jiu. "Do you know what you are talking about? Keep a low profile and bide your time? This is not a good thing to say."

"I know."

"Then what is your purpose of secretly accumulating strength?"

"Be the Sheriff."

Xiao Jiu replied casually, he smiled brightly and brilliantly, "Brother, haven't you seen how prosperous I am in Xun County now?"

Little liar!

Xiang Hexin was so crazy that he threw away the chicken bones in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth. This bold gesture made Xiao Jiu's eyes twitch, and she thought to herself, fortunately, she didn't have mysophobia.

Their eyes met, Xiang He's clean shaven face had an extremely clear expression on his face, and he was staring at Xiao Jiu seriously at this moment.

"Do you think I can believe it?"

Xiao Jiu's expression did not change at all, letting him look at her with suspicion, tilting her head and smiling silently, "Brother, why don't you believe it? Everyone wants to go up, and I am no exception."

"And I am no longer the person I used to be. I am the Magistrate of Xun County now. In Xun County, I have absolute rights."

Xiang He raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly, "Including the nobles from aristocratic families in Xun County, they also want to listen to you?"

There was only a foot of distance between the two of them, and Xiao Jiu's expression remained unchanged, "At least for big things, they can't do anything I don't let them do."

Behind the words, a strong smell hit Xiang He's face, and he understood something.

He slowly sat up straight, looked Xiao Jiu up and down, and suddenly smiled with amusement in his eyes, "Junior brother is not what he used to be. He has grown up..."

At the beginning, he saw that Xiao Jiu was smarter and more mature than Oxfam, and now he was even more ruthless.

Xiao Jiu replied to him, "Senior brother is also much older."

Xiang He choked, feeling like his heart was clogged, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why are you old?! I, your third senior brother, am in my prime!"

Yeah?

He looks like a middle-aged man.

Although Xiao Jiu didn't speak, this sentence was clearly written in his eyes and expression. Xiang He hesitated and simply changed the topic.

"You don't have to ask senior brother how he does this. You have to know that the message transmission between rangers is the fastest and the most widely known."

"Everyone in the world communicates with each other. The fourth young master in the court speaks for you, and also asks for orders to reward you and the thirteenth young master. It is not a secret in the court."

Xiao Jiu understood that he would no longer ask for the truth, let alone ask him if he knew that the Fourth Young Master was talking to him because Jiang Zhen'er was the one who encouraged him.

That would only expose his connection with Jiang Zhen'er. Xiao Jiu is not that stupid.

After Xiang He finished speaking, he seemed to have some unfinished words. He paused for a long time and then warned again, "Junior brother, your name will be remembered by some people in the capital. In the future, you should be careful in your words and deeds."

."

He meant something, a subtle reminder.

Xiao Jiu understood what he meant instantly, but was not nervous and said, "Really? That's my honor."

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Jiu's reaction was exactly the opposite of what he thought, and Xiang He frowned in confusion.

"What are you afraid of? Only mediocre people will not be remembered by others, and I, Xiao Jiu, want to be a person that everyone knows."

Xiang He leaned back and looked at Xiao Jiu in surprise.

It seems that Xiao Jiu has indeed changed a lot since he has not returned for many years.

"You are ambitious!" Xiang He nodded in praise, "You are worthy of being my junior brother!"

Look what this says...
