【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Walking to the foot of Lianyun Mountain, the officers and soldiers belonging to the Taiyuan Mansion had been waiting for a long time at the post station there. Seeing Yuan Zhongxin's team descending from the mountain, Ma Haohao rushed up to meet him.

After the six handed over 34 people to the officers and soldiers, they were not interested in knowing how the government would judge them for their crimes.

Because the task was completed, the six of them were not in a hurry to go back. They walked and stopped along the way, leisurely and leisurely. When they encountered some commercial towns, Wei Yanei wanted to go there for a while. Yuan Zhongxin thought about it for a while, now As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there should be nothing to deal with in the Secret Pavilion, so I agreed.

Wei Yanei was so excited that he took Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing to buy from the street to the end of the street. They bought a lot of hanging lanterns, red couplet door stickers, melons and fruit preserves, and occasionally some merchants brought them from other places. Wei Ya Nei searched for the small gadgets carefully.

Xue Ying took a fancy to a silver-patterned sleeve blade, and Wei Yanei waved his hand, buy it!

Xiaojing took a fancy to a set of tools for grinding medicinal materials, Wei Yanei waved his big hand again, and went on to buy it!

Zhao Jian took a fancy to a box of Yunhu hook tail tea set, Wei Yanei waved his hands so many times, he continued to buy it!

If Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan hadn't brought the four of them back together, Wei Yanei would have planned to buy back the two stone braves in front of the mason's shop and give them to Lu Guannian as a New Year gift.

At noon three days later, the six of them finally returned to the secret pavilion.

After the six of them put away their bags, they immediately rushed to the backyard to look for the same thing. Unexpectedly, they saw an unexpected figure in the backyard.

Wei Yanei exclaimed, "Liang Dutou?"

At this moment, Liang Zhu was holding two large bowls of dog food, and placed them in front of half a catty. Although there was no expression on his face, it was not difficult to see that he was quite patient with the two dogs.

The sudden return of the six people startled Liang Zhu, he was taken aback, then quickly straightened up, trying to maintain a calm expression on his face, he cleared his throat unnaturally and said, "Are you back?"

The six secretly laughed.

Wei Ya'nei stepped forward, and when he saw that it was him, he didn't even bother to eat, so he went straight to Wei Ya'nei, and he looked at Liang Zhu with surprise in his eyes: "Liang Dutou, the past few days we have been away, we have all Are you taking care of them?"

Liang Zhu twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at one person and two dogs pretending to be disgusted, and said with a little embarrassment: "Of course it's not me. The Yue Military Academy is usually here, and today I just happened to pass by."

Yuan Zhongxin looked suddenly enlightened: "Oh, Liang Dutou just happened to pass by Qizhai, happened to pass through the main courtyard of Qizhai, happened to walk past the rockery apricot forest, and happened to enter the backyard of our Qizhai."

Liang Zhu: "..."

Sure enough, after staying with sick people for a long time, I became stupid.

Zhao Jian patted Yuan Zhongxin on the shoulder angrily, she turned her head to look at Liang Zhu, and said with a smile: "No matter what, I still have to thank Liang Dutou, otherwise I would be very hungry."

Liang Zhu snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of Qizhai, and walked away.

Yuan Zhongxin squatted down and waved his hands at half a catty. The two dogs immediately rushed to Yuan Zhongxin's side, rolling around excitedly. Yuan Zhongxin rubbed their heads with a smile: "It seems that Liang Zhu is still very careful." Yes, we walked for a few days, and you two gained a lot of weight."

Wang Kuan stared at Wei Yanei for a moment, then turned his head to look at Wei Yanei, he asked lightly: "Yanei, do you know the real background of half a catty?"

Wei Yanei blinked puzzledly, and asked suspiciously: "Where did they come from, don't they come from Yidu, Qingzhou?"

This dog was given by his uncle, yes.

Yuan Zhongxin sighed and shook his head: "Wei Yanei, Wei Yanei, you are so stupid, even if you find the treasure, you will be confused."

The other four people were also at a loss, Zhao Jian asked: "Yuan Zhongxin, what do you want to say?"

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows with a smile, but it was Wang Kuan who said, "When we were at the bottom of the cliff in Wumuzhai, we met the wolves of the Gu brothers and sisters. At that time, there was a little wolf cub who was very close to Yuan Zhongxin. , Gu Xi said that the little wolf cub is the new wolf king of the wolves in the past three years. Normally, he treats strangers extremely coldly, but he treats us very differently."

Yuan Zhongxin tilted his head, and glanced at the crowd with great interest: "Do you still remember that under that tree, two big bubbles were urinated?"

The four of them nodded quickly, feeling more and more weird in their hearts, as if they had guessed something faintly.

The corner of Yuan Zhongxin's mouth curled up, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "One of the half-baked ones is the wolf king of the old generation of the black wolves. We were surprisingly friendly."

Yuan Zhongxin's words were like thunder on the ground, making Zhao Jian and the others stunned.

Half a catty or eight taels, is it the old wolf king?

How could they still be wolf kings just like the two of them? !

Wang Kuan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "So Ya Nei, you really found a treasure."

Wei Yanei was dumbfounded, his thoughts were confused, and suddenly there was a burst of warmth and wetness in his hands. He subconsciously looked down, and saw that Banjin was licking his hand foolishly. He gave a goofy smile.

Wei Yanei "..."

He didn't doubt what Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan said at all. If Yuan Zhongxin was the only one who said this, he would be dubious, but Wang Kuan's temperament of not lying is well known, so he must not have lied to him.

Xiaojing knelt down and touched Baliang's head, and said, "So half a catty is actually two wolves?"

Zhao Jian stared at each other in confusion: "Then, who is the king?"

The same stupidity, the same simplicity and cuteness, no one can associate them with the title of wolf king.

At this moment, the bell of Qizhai was rang. The six of them looked at each other and walked out together. There was a student steward waiting by the door, but he had a new face. The six of them had never seen him before. He nodded respectfully towards the six people, and said with a smile: "Six people, Lu Zhangyuan welcomes you."

Yuan Zhongxin asked with a smile: "Are you new here?"

The miscellaneous officer of the school replied honestly: "Yes, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? The secret pavilion has not been short of staff recently, so I transferred from the private school in the east of the city."

Yuan Zhongxin nodded suddenly: "Oh, how long have you been here, what's your name?"

The school steward replied: "It's been about a month, my surname is Mu."

Yuan Zhongxin: "Okay, butler, let's clean up first, and then go find Lu Guannian later."

After seeing off the school stewards, the six people sorted the things they bought into categories, putting those that should be in the kitchen in the kitchen, and those that should be in the room. After about a stick of incense, the six of them went to Lu Guannian's study together.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Guannian's eyelids twitched, Wei Yanei was holding a bottle of golden living Buddha statue in his hand, with a round head and round brain, smiling eyebrows and eyes, very happy.

Wei Yanei hugged the golden Buddha statue to Lu Guannian's table as if asking for credit, and said cheerfully, "Director Lu, look what I brought back for you."

Lu Guannian looked at the golden Buddha statue without a word, and asked in puzzlement: "Yanei, what's the matter with your Buddha statue?" Could it be the physical evidence of Wumuzhai?

Wei Yanei said with a smile: "I bought this golden Buddha statue on the way back. I wanted to buy you a pair of Pixiu, but Yuan Zhongxin thought it was difficult to carry, so he insisted on not letting me buy it. I had to buy this one, specially bought it I gave it to you as a New Year's gift."

Yuan Zhongxin glanced at him angrily: "Your pair of stone Pixiu weighs a thousand catties, if a horse gets on it, it will die of exhaustion sooner or later."

Lu Guannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing Wei Yanei's serious appearance, if he didn't accept it, he probably wouldn't let it go, so he nodded: "Okay, then put it on my desk, you have a heart, Yanei."

After the gifts were delivered, it was time to get down to business. One yard counts for one yard. Lu Guannian put away his smiling face and asked solemnly: "This time, the task of Wumuzhai should be completed by Shisanzhai. Is it because all of you Qizhai are dispatched?"

The six people couldn't argue with each other.

When Wang Kuan knew that Yuan Zhongxin was going to help Shisanzhai alone, he rushed to find Yuan Zhongxin without any time to explain.

Yuan Zhongxin was about to explain, but Wang Kuan who was beside him had already said before him: "It's the students who want to go their own way, and it has nothing to do with others. If you want to punish, it's enough to punish one student."

The five immediately turned their disapproving eyes on Wang Kuan.

Seeing Wang Kuanyun's indifferent appearance, Lu Guannian secretly sighed in his heart, how could he not know who Wang Kuan did this for? He smiled helplessly: "I'm just asking, I never thought of punishing you, the matter of Wumuzhai You completed it very satisfactorily, Lord Mo, the local official of Taiyuan Mansion, even wrote a special letter to thank Mi Pavilion and Qi Zhai, so this time, you have made a great contribution."

The six people looked happy.

Lu Guannian continued: "It's just that Qizhai's task report is still completed by you. After all, the staff of Thirteen Zhai didn't participate, and they don't know the details—speaking of which, whose turn is it to write Qizhai's mission report?"

Except for Wang Kuan, the other four tacitly pointed at Yuan Zhongxin at the same time.

Yuan Zhongxin: "..."

Lu Guannian nodded: "Then Yuan Zhongxin will finish it. I remember that last time you hurt your palm, it was Wang Kuan who wrote it for you for a while. Wang Kuan, you have enough experience in writing reports. Then you will teach him. Don't leave out important details."

Wang Kuan glanced at the aggrieved Yuan Zhongxin with a half-smile, and nodded in agreement.

"Also, why didn't the students from Shisanzhai come to me with you?" Lu Guannian asked in puzzlement.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Jian's eyes widened: "Has the people from Thirteen Zhai not come back yet?"

Wei Yanei was dumbfounded: "Aren't they still waiting in the post house?"

Xiao Jing muttered: "It's winter, and the thermal conditions of the post house are not very good..."

Xue Ying speculated solemnly: "Could it be frozen to death?"

Yuan Zhongxin asked in a daze: "Didn't you tell them to go back to the Secret Pavilion first?"

Wang Kuan blinked, and said lightly: "We came out from Wumu Village on the commercial road of Taiyuan Prefecture, and we are at least two towns away from them. It should be too late to tell us."

Lu Guannian: "..."

The student of Shisanzhai who is far away in the posthouse: "Hehe."
