After eating the mutton-boiled meat, Xu Zun asked Liu Dong, Ani and others to go upstairs to rest, leaving only Zhao Yu and Huo Anu, his two right-hand men, drinking and chatting with him.
After spending many days together, the relationship between the three people has already undergone subtle changes, and they are no longer as separated as before.
Therefore, talking to each other became more casual, let alone after drinking.
"The case of the corpse of the woman in monk's clothing is officially closed today," Xu Zun said to the two of them. "Li's intention is to leave Shangyuan City as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
"Starting from tomorrow, we will make preparations to go to Wude City, and Shen Xinglian will send garrison troops to escort along the way."
"We have heard about this," Zhao Yu grabbed a handful of peanuts, "When these cases are reported to the court, Mr. Xu will definitely get a reward!
"It only took you a few months to go from being a county captain to being sentenced in a state.
"And you have solved so many major cases when you first took office. If things continue at this rate, I guess you will be able to work in the Ministry of Punishment soon, right?
"No, let alone the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple has no problem! Hahaha..."
"Oh, why do I smell a filthy smell?" Huo Anu said, fanning her tall and delicate nose, "Is this the legendary smell of flattery?"
"Flattery stinks, okay? I really don't understand the taste of you people from the Western Regions..." Zhao Yu stuffed a handful of peanuts into his mouth and chewed them, making a loud crunching sound.
"The plan remains as usual these days," Xu Zun instructed, "I have arranged for people to go to Haimer County, Yuanzhou to check her details, but it may take a long time for the information to be returned.
"So, you should keep an eye on her every move."
"Yes!" The two agreed, and Zhao Yu said, "My lord and I feel the same way. Although this little woman is very young, our seniors have taught us that the more beautiful a woman is, the more careful she must be."
"Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad fate," Xu Zun said honestly. "Of course I hope there will be no problem with her. If that is the case, then this girl deserves to be cherished. She has suffered too much..."
"By the way, sir," Zhao Yu remembered something at this time and asked in a low voice, "Although Lu Xiaofeng has been found, it seems that Chongtian Temple has nothing to do with the disappearance of the other 16 girls, right?
"Should we still investigate this case?"
Zhao Yu's words instantly made the atmosphere tense.
Huo Anu immediately looked around with vigilance, and only waved his hand after finding no problem.
"I'm afraid... there's no way to investigate even if you want to!" Xu Zun shook his head helplessly, "The top priority is to go back to Wude City to find out what happened at Chongtian Temple. If Luo Yu can't be found in one day, the case will not be closed. I'm afraid
...The probability of us returning to Shangyuan City is not high!"
"Anuche," Huo Anu cursed first, then lowered his voice and said, "I feel like the disappearance of these girls is like a trap, and the people in the county government are obviously pretending to be deaf and don't want to mention it.
"Master Xu, how about you report this to the governor?"
"Miss Fire," Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Don't you understand that at this juncture, the person who least wants to mention the girl's disappearance is our Governor?
"Good fellow, if another big case happens in Shangyuan City, will he be regarded as the governor?"
"Oh..." Huo Anu finally understood.
"However, there is another witness in this case, that is Lu Xiaofeng," Xu Zun said, "I will go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow to see if her condition can improve!"
After the discussion, the three of them continued drinking.
Xu Zun didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly asked Huo Anu, could he learn some martial arts from Huo Anu?
After several adventures, Xu Zun realized that although he was good at fighting in his previous life, under the framework of a legal society, that kind of fighting could only be regarded as a fight.
But now in this ancient world of swords and shadows, martial arts have become killing techniques. When the other party wants to take your life, those previous techniques are no longer practical.
Therefore, Xu Zun wants to learn real martial arts, and he also hopes to become a strong martial artist like those halo protagonists, and he can fight whoever he wants!
"Well..." However, Huo Anu's confession immediately poured cold water on him, "I can only teach you some entry-level basics, your qualifications are too mediocre!"
I go……
Only then did Xu Zun realize that in the duel between him and Huo Anu in front of Zhaoye Temple, he was clearly giving way to him.
If Huo Anu used his true strength, he would definitely not be his opponent in the first place.
"Yes," Zhao Yu agreed, "Master Xu, I think if you want to keep fit, there is nothing wrong with practicing! But if you want to become famous, that's a bit unrealistic..."
Seeing that both of them had lost hope in him, Xu Zun had no choice but to give up the idea for the time being.
However, he is good at adapting. Since martial arts training is for self-defense, wouldn't it be enough if he thinks more about self-defense in the future?
Through the battle at Chongtian Temple, he has learned that in the world he lives in, there is no such exaggerated situation as one against a hundred.
If there hadn't been help from behind to save him at that time, even if Wei Bei returned to martial arts and went against the will of heaven, he would have died.
Therefore, if we hire ten or twenty masters like Huo Anu in the future, are we afraid that we will have no place to show off?
After drinking for three times, the three of them finally chatted happily, and then they went back to their houses to rest.
Xu Zun was also a little dizzy and staggered back to his room, hoping to have a good night's sleep.
But what he didn't expect was that Timur Ani was waiting in his room and even prepared a footbath for himself.
this……
"Sir, let me serve you!"
Ani brought the footbath to the bed, took off Xu Zun's shoes and socks, and actually started washing her own feet.
Naturally, Xu Zun was very uncomfortable with it, but as he was so drunk that he felt dizzy, he did not refuse.
After washing his feet, Ani helped Xu Zun change his clothes and then covered him with a quilt.
Xu Zun originally thought that this special service would end here, but unexpectedly, Ani started to take off her clothes on her own.
Because she was wearing a long skirt, she was extremely fast.
"well!?"
Before Xu Zun could react, Ani had already gotten into bed.
this……
"Sir," Ani said affectionately, "it's cold, let me help you warm your bed."
"Don't..." Xu Zun quickly moved to the depths of the bed and looked at Ani in surprise, "No need, didn't I book a room for you?"
"Sir," Ani said seriously, "you just said that we will be a family from now on! You...you don't dislike this slave, do you?"
As she said this, Ani's eyes burst into tears, which was really pitiful.
"Ani, you may have misunderstood," Xu Zun advised, "Of course I don't dislike you, but...even if you are a family, you don't have to be so polite, right?"
Looking at such a beauty, Xu Zun felt hot all over. Why would he need to heat up his bed?
This woman seems to have an innate ability to enchant people, and she can destroy any firm will in the world in an instant!
Xu Zun was a mortal, and he already had the idea of compromise when his eyes met.
He didn't want to struggle, he just remembered telling Zhao Yu and Huo Anu to keep an eye on Ani!
Does that mean that the two of them are watching their performance right now?
However, those two have drank a lot today, could it be...
Just as Xu Zun was struggling with his thoughts, he and Ani discovered at the same time that a woman in black had appeared beside the bed!
The woman in black sat quietly on the bedside, her back straight, like a ghost.
"ah!"
Ani screamed in surprise, but Xu Zun did not follow him because he had already seen clearly that the woman in black was the bitter mother who came here every night for him to "see a doctor"...
