The reborn cannon fodder

"Quick, quick! Hurry up! The third owner is urging!" The middle-aged man who looked like a manager was standing in the courtyard and staring at a servant.

The servants worked non-stop, and finally repaired all the lamp sockets and handed them over to the steward, then wiped the sweat from his brow: "Sun steward, what do you think, is it okay?"

"Hey, it's done, it's done!" Steward Sun looked carefully at the lamp holder in his hand, and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "You still have a good handiwork. The three owners found out that the lamp holder was broken before, but they scolded the boss. It's bloody. I won't say more, I'll go back to the main hall now."

"You go well!"

Steward Sun, holding the lamp holder in his hand, took a shortcut from the small path at the entrance of the courtyard to the main hall.

The welcoming courtyard of Xingzhi Villa was built extremely majestic and spacious back then. The main hall alone can accommodate hundreds of people for banquets. If you count the space in the front yard, it is no problem to entertain thousands of people.

After several generations of repairs and reconstructions, today's Yingke Courtyard can be described as magnificent, with carved railings and wall decorations, luxurious yet without losing the unique roughness of Wulin people.

This is the facade of the entire Xingzhi Villa, which has always been taken care of very carefully.

Tomorrow is the first day of the martial arts alliance, and there will be countless martial arts people coming, so even though it is getting late, the courtyard is still brightly lit, and everyone is making final preparations for the alliance.

The third owner, Qiao Yuezhou, was standing in the hall right now, urging the servants to arrange all the decorated seats.

This is not the first time, every time a martial arts league is held, this happens, and the entire Xingzhi Villa can be regarded as skilled workers.So even if you are busy, you still look organized.

When everything was almost done, Steward Sun just came back with the repaired lamp holder, which made her let go of her last worries.

"Finally, it's all right! These Mingyun lamps are gifts from the emperor of the previous generation, and the lamp holders are all specially made, so we can't be careless! Fortunately, we discovered it in time this time. If there is a problem with the banquet tomorrow, who will be responsible?" It's not good either!"

"Yes, yes." Steward Sun nodded and bowed in front of Qiao Yuezhou, not daring to say anything else, until he heard the order to set up the lamp holder, and then hurried away.

Looking at the well-arranged hall and courtyard, Qiao Yuezhou smiled with satisfaction, thinking about how to claim credit for the big brother.

Although my elder brother Ding Wangxing didn't listen to the old master's words and married him in the end, he fell in love with the enchanting Zuo Ning and married him back, but he still let himself stay in the house. by his side.After so many years, Zuo Ningkong has the title of the wife of the owner of the big villa, but he doesn't care about it, and he is the real prestige in this villa, in charge of all affairs in this huge Xingzhi villa.

It can be seen from this that the senior brother still values ​​himself more.

What about looking like a goblin?In this villa, only the people in her yard are willing to listen to her, other things are up to her!

The servant who came to ask for instructions interrupted Qiao Yuezhou's somewhat proud thoughts, only to realize that she was a little tired after a few days of busy work.After ordering the servants to finish the last cleaning carefully, he left alone intending to take a breather.

After leaving the area of ​​the reception courtyard, the bustle gradually faded away.The rest of the villa was quiet. After all, it was almost late at night, and apart from the villa guards who patrolled and guarded, there was no one coming and going.

In this quiet night, Qiao Yuezhou felt more and more sleepy. After hesitating for a moment, she planned to take a shortcut back to her yard.

If this shortcut was in the daytime, she would not take it. After all, she had to climb two walls and be seen by others, which would affect her prestige as the owner of the third villa.But at this moment, there was no one around, and behind the vertical and horizontal walls was an empty small courtyard. With her kung fu, she was not worried that these guards would find out.

They climbed over the courtyard wall silently, and the empty courtyard was very barren and dark.

Passing through the path with some weeds, she planned to go around to the back of the house and climb over the wall, but when she passed the main house, she seemed to hear some faint voices coming from inside, and she couldn't help being startled.

After her teacher and mother became difficult to deal with, she lost her body and died twice, and this courtyard was sealed up by the previous owner, that is, her master.Since then, no one has lived in it, and everyone has avoided this place. Why are there people's voices here and now?

Looking up at the windows of the main house, it was still pitch black.

Could it be that the rumors in the village that are not on the stage are true?The teacher and her young son turned into a ghost and stayed here?

Qiao Yuezhou was in her 40s at least, but she was still more afraid of these gods and ghosts. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little bit drummed in her heart. She bit her bullet and walked under the front window.

No matter what it is, I can't escape without investigating, and I have fallen into the title of the third owner of Xingzhi Villa for no reason!

After getting closer, she realized that it was not that there was no light in the main room, but that someone covered the windows with a black cloth in the room.Only through the gaps in the window lattices can some subtle light leak out.

From this point of view, is someone deliberately deceiving people here?

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuezhou couldn't help but shudder.

She has always claimed that there is nothing she doesn't know about the affairs of the villa, but now someone is doing something shady here in private?Why did you choose such a remote place and cover the windows with a black cloth? !

While her heart was boiling with anger, she did not forget to be cautious. If something bad happened and she found out, she must be caught on the spot!

She carefully walked around to the side of the house, stretched out a finger, channeled her internal strength, and lightly pressed on the joint between the window lattice and the house wall, silently pressing out a small finger-wide hole.

The opening of the hole is still blocked by the black cloth, so you can't see what's going on inside the house, but you can hear the sound inside the house clearly if you put your ear close to it.

"... It's not too far away to get these two pieces today." A soft and low-pitched female voice sounded, but it was Zuo Ning who had just been despised by him!

"In this way, madam can finally feel at ease. The last piece has now been found. After finding it, I will snatch it from Mu Changyun's hand. The ten screens will be complete." Only these two sentences, Qiao Yuezhou didn't know exactly what was being said in the room, but what was certain was that the male voice talking to her in the room must not be her elder brother!What a Zuo Ning, how dare she go on a tryst with others behind her senior brother's back!

"Trouble Mr. Cang more." Zuo Ning's tone was still light, with a hint of indifference, but it was extremely attractive.

Mr. Cang?Could it be...!

The man chuckled, then finally sighed, and said: "Ma'am, why be polite, as long as Madam asks, Cang will obey after all."

"..." Zuo Ning didn't answer, as if she didn't know how to start, she finally said with a bit of resentment, "Mr. Cang, don't go on talking like this, my concubine's heart is dead, it's useless to talk more."

The man was also silent for a moment, and then sighed sadly in his talented words: "Naihe, Naihe, I wish I could meet you when you were not married!"

Qiao Yuezhou listened to the two people talking to each other outside, but her heart was full of anger-why can't I hate to meet when I was not married!The two had a tryst in the middle of the night behind their backs, and it was clear that they had an affair!Still hypocritical here, I really don't think it's disgusting!And those ten screens, could they be tokens of love? !

She originally wanted to rush in and expose the two of them, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was her chance.

She has guarded the senior brother for so many years, and now Zuo Ning has dug her own grave and has an affair with senior brother's friend Cang Shuochen. As long as she tells senior brother about this, senior brother will definitely not tolerate her!

After thinking about it, she immediately planned to leave quietly, go back and make a good plan for this matter, and it is best to let the senior brother catch this pair of sluts on the spot without damaging the reputation of the villa!

She just walked around to the back of the house and planned to climb over the wall to leave, but she couldn't see clearly in the shadows, and stepped on a few broken tiles piled up in the corner of the wall, almost spraining her foot.It's just that this sound will definitely startle the people in the house, she couldn't help feeling anxious, in a panic, she just wanted to run away quickly, but before she could turn around, her mouth and nose were covered by a pair of big hands, and she was dragged into the dark shadow .

"Who is it?" The people in the house broke out of the window almost at the same time, but they searched around, but found nothing. They couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, if there was someone, how could they disappear so silently?Taking a closer look, it was flying up and grabbing something.

"Mr. Cang, is there someone?" Zuo Ning also came out from the room, although her voice was still graceful and soft, there was a trace of tension in her voice.

Now that things have happened, she doesn't want to fall short.

"Not at all." Cang Shuochen still had a mask on his face, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his tone was relaxed, he held up a fainted wild cat in his hand, and said, "Ma'am, don't worry, it's just a wild cat. "

Seeing this, Zuo Ning also heaved a sigh of relief, and cast a glance at the wild cat, with a hint of disgust and anger in his expression: "Sir, hurry up and deal with this beast."

"Ma'am, how dare you refuse to obey?" The man bowed and bowed, and then said, "It's getting late now, madam, let's go back and rest earlier."

Zuo Ning nodded slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Cang also take care of your body, I will take my leave first."

The man stood on the spot, watching Zuo Ning's slender figure being blocked by the closed secret passage door, then sighed slightly, and looked down at the kitten in his hand.

"Silly cat, come here, looking for death?" With a slight smile, he squatted down, stretched out his hand to wake the cat up, stroked its head gently, and then put it on the ground, "Come on, don't run anymore Came here to seek death."

As soon as he let go of his hand, the cat let out a "meow", flew into the night, and disappeared without a trace.

The man squatted quietly on the spot for a while, the gentleness dissipated, and a layer of gloom gradually covered his body, he shook his head helplessly, and then flew away.

……

"Who is your Excellency? Why are you hiding in the villa secretly?!" Qiao Yuezhou was brought to the forest outside the village with her mouth covered, and then she was released. When she turned around, she saw a strange man, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Why does Master Qiao speak ill of each other?" With a chuckle, the strange man was Liu Qiyan, "If it wasn't for me, Master Qiao would have passed away by now."

"...Hmph, sneaking around, doing something out of the righteous way!"

"Qiao Zhuangzhu should have heard it just now, didn't he?" Liu Qiyan originally saved people just for a while, but running all the way, he felt that Qiao Yuezhou had a very good identity and an impatient temper. If he used it, he might be able to easily kill that Got some screens.

"You bitch Zuo Ning, how dare you betray senior brother!" At this point, Qiao Yuezhou immediately showed anger, "Didn't your excellency also go there to catch the adulterer?"

Hearing this, Liu Qiyan couldn't help curling her lips, slandering in her heart that the three villa owners really couldn't grasp the key points, they had guarded the Ding Wang Xing for so many years, and their minds were out of order!But he still had a kind and polite smile on his face, and he began to make up things in his mouth: "No, I came here to recover the stolen goods. The ten screens mentioned by the two of them just now are exactly here Lost. These screens are of great importance, they were entrusted by the imperial court to be escorted, but unexpectedly they were stolen by someone with a heart. Now they are hiding in Xingzhi Villa, probably to provoke disputes between the imperial court and the martial arts."

As soon as he heard that it would be detrimental to the villa, Qiao Yuezhou immediately woke up from his anger, and his expression was a little dignified: "Is it true at this time? Who are you, and why are you entrusted by the court to deliver things?"

Liu Qiyan heard the words, and said generously: "I am a person from the Yunxi Building in Qingye City, and I can only say this to the end of the orders received in the building, but it is inconvenient to mention more to Zhuang Zhu Qiao. "

When Qiao Yuezhou heard the name of Yunxi Building, she restrained her doubts a little.Everyone knows that Yunxi Building has an excellent reputation and can accept all kinds of business.If these screens are indeed belongings of the imperial court and involve some private affairs, and are entrusted to this building, it is also very possible: "The matter has come to this, what do you plan to do?"

"It would be the best if I could take the screen back without disturbing others. After all, I am concerned about my reputation in the building. If it is reported that the order received by Yunxi Building is successfully robbed by someone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when I go back." Liu Qiyan didn't agree. Instead of talking more about the crisis at Xingzhi Villa, he lowered his posture, making Qiao Yuezhou feel the sincerity in his words.

"So, you want me to help you?"

"Villa Master Qiao is indeed extremely intelligent." Liu Qiyan complimented and bowed before continuing, "If this matter can be resolved secretly and the reputation of the building is restored, the Master can also make another contribution to the villa, and also It’s a mutual benefit.”

Qiao Yuezhou raised her eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I will investigate this matter again. If it is true as you said, I will help you! This meeting will also send people from Yunxilou, and I will come to you directly when the time comes. people."

These words made Liu Qiyan stunned. She didn't expect that although the other party was straightforward, she wasn't really that easy to deceive. Then she responded with a smile: "That's it, thank you, Zhuangzhu Qiao!"

Qiao Yuezhou didn't talk any more, she hummed unintelligibly, and left in a leap.

It wasn't until she was no longer seen that someone came out from the shadows in the forest and mocked in a low voice: "Brother Qiyan is more and more able to talk freely."

"Changyun don't want to make fun of me, anyway, I'm just talking nonsense to outsiders, and it's not all fake."

Mu Changyun glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, and then lightly reprimanded him: "Don't dawdle any longer, go back quickly!"

Liu Qiyan also knew that this person was not angry, so he ran to hold the other's hand, and then smiled contentedly.

Then, both of them fell into the darkness.

The author has something to say: Liu Qiyan: Yunyun, I'll help you cheat things back!

Mu Changyun: Hehe, are you good at lying?

Liu Qiyan: Q. Q, Yunyun, I never lie to you!You have to believe me!

Mu Changyun: Oh - just trust you for now

Liu Qiyan: (^o^)/Trust me forever!
