Chapter 174 Is life really that tough?
The next day, Xu Xing got up early as usual, practiced his exercises, changed his clothes, and had breakfast.
When Jiang Hao entered the study, he had already picked up a military book and read a few pages.
"Son."
Zhang Zhongjing led the person into the study, bowed to Xu Xing and said, "Miss Jiang is here."
Xu Xing immediately raised his head, put the military book on the table, and looked at Jiang Hao, nodding and saying, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Hao also greeted him.
"Miss Jiang, please chat with the young master for a while. I'll go get something."
Since Jiang Hao agreed, Zhang Zhongjing felt that he had to express his opinion. He couldn't let others work in vain, right?
He watched Xu Xing grow up, and regardless of the difference in status, he treated Xu Xing and his brother as his own children and grandchildren. The Duke also valued him very much, and Xu Xing and his brother also respected him. Therefore, as long as he could save their lives, he was willing to spend all the wealth he had earned over the past few decades.
Jiang Hao was treating Xu Xing, so he didn't need Zhang Zhongjing. He could go wherever he wanted.
As soon as Zhang Zhongjing left, Jiang Hao pointed to the chair on the upper right and said, "Please move over, young master."
Taking the pulse in the morning is most accurate.
She wanted to check Xu Xing's pulse first to see if there was any poison in his body.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xing was not in a hurry. Instead, he was curious. He had clearly rejected her condition, but why did she agree?
"This matter will be kept secret for the time being."
Jiang Hao didn't want to say more, but instead urged: "Young Master, it's getting late."
Xu Xing: “…”
Zhang Zhongjing came back soon. Jiang Hao looked at the rosewood box in his arms and seemed to understand something.
Xu Xing knew the origin of the wooden box very well. Inside was the wealth that Zhang Zhongjing had accumulated over the past few decades.
"gentlemen……"
Xu Xing was quite moved.
Zhang Zhongjing brought the box to Jiang Hao and said solemnly, "This contains what the old man promised me before. Please accept it, young lady, and do your best to save the two young masters."
He will set out early tomorrow morning to look for another expert.
……
Kyoto.
In the quaint study, the old man's hand holding the chess piece paused, and the white piece stopped above the chessboard, not falling down for a long time.
Failed?
The old man suddenly looked up at the housekeeper, his face full of disbelief: "How is it possible?"
To be on the safe side, the people who went were from Mo Lian Tang.
Mo Lian Tang is good at assassination and his whereabouts are mysterious. To get rid of a little girl is like using a butcher knife to kill a fly, right?
I thought I had it all figured out, but ended up being told I had failed!
The old man couldn't believe what he heard was true.
The manager didn't know what was going on: "The Yuzhou branch sent three people, but none of them came back. No one was found alive, and no body was found dead."
The strangest thing is that the people who went there seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
The old man no longer had the heart to continue. He slowly put down the hand holding the chess piece, his eyes were dazed, and he let out a long breath.
Is life really that hard?
The old man's mind was filled with distant memories. That night, the image of the cute and well-behaved baby in the cradle gradually became clear, and the pair of eyes as bright as stars stared at him...
It was originally thought that she would be taken away by people sent by the emperor, but unexpectedly she was taken away by Jiang Huaiqing, who eventually raised her by his side instead of his own daughter.
If she came back safely, what would Zixian do?
The old man thought of this and said to the manager, "Tell the people in Mo Lian Tang to send more people, at any cost."
"Yes!"
After the steward left, two lines of clear tears flowed from the old man's turbid eyes.
All this was caused by him, and he is responsible for all the sins...
