Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 147 The Lady of the Constable's House (25)

Yuxi, maybe I have found the direction to make a living, following you.

Xiao Zhuoxuan slowly accepted the flower, and suddenly a sentence popped up in his mind: "I like you."

His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he thought to himself: What happened last night? Did I do something shameful?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuoxuan couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself: "How can I face her in the future after such a ridiculous thing..."

Gu Yuxi felt that there was always a pair of eyes staring at her from behind along the way, but she did not show the slightest sign of panic. Instead, she secretly raised her vigilance and stayed awake at all times.

Could it be that the flower thief who stole her clothes last night dared to show up again?

Great! Since this daring little thief came to her door on his own initiative, she would never let him go easily. She would make him experience the pain of having nothing to show for it and having no flowers to pick!

It would be best to castrate him directly to prevent him from harming other women in the future.

Ye Qi, who was following behind Gu Yuxi, suddenly felt a chill under his body. There was no wind!

He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: The master is too unreliable! He actually sent him, a battle-hardened secret guard, to follow a little girl. It was really a waste of talent!

But even though he complained, Ye Qi still put his mind to it and tried his best to follow Gu Yuxi.

After all, he knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, and the slightest negligence could lead to disaster. So, no matter what, he had to ensure that nothing could go wrong...

Uh uh uh…Ahhh!

Gu Yuxi leaned close to Xiaodai's ear and whispered: "Xiaodai, it's okay, I'll catch it and sharpen your hooves."

The man and the donkey were leisurely and relaxed, sometimes stopping to look at the flying petals, sometimes playing in the water and fishing by the stream, and at this moment they were setting up a rack to grill fish by the long pavilion, enjoying themselves.

Ye Qi, who was suffering from several big mosquito bites, was distracted for a moment when he saw a bird flying down from the tree. He was stunned.

[Sister Xi, you must be so mean!]

"When this person is unlucky, even drinking a drop of cold water can choke him!"

Ye Qi, who was drinking water, suddenly felt a surge in his heart. The water in his throat suddenly rushed up, causing him to cough unexpectedly.

Ye Qi bent over in pain, covering his chest with one hand and wiping the water drops from the corners of his mouth with the other hand.

It took him a long time to catch his breath, but his face was still pale and tired.

Ye Qi patted his chest gently and muttered to himself: "Today is really a bad day! Is there no other way? No, I have to find a replacement brother quickly. I would rather go mining than continue to be so unlucky!"

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the figure grilling the fish, as if looking for a way to get rid of his bad luck.

Uh uh uh…hehehe!

"Xiao Dai, your hoof sharpening tool has run away."

Without the annoying flies, Gu Yuxi took the spices and prepared grilled fish. She also needed to pick some herbs, and it would take another two or three days to return to Guyu County.

"My Lord, Ye Qi is back."

Xie Lize: "But did you find out anything useful?"

"Master, that girl stopped and walked along the way, sometimes admiring flowers and playing with the donkey, sometimes grilling fish on the spot. I don't know what's so good about her."

"Um?"

Xie Lize raised his head in surprise, his eyes fell on Ye Qi, and the book in his hand accidentally slipped out of shock.

He opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "What kind of business do you have? Why did you become so ugly?"

Ye Qi was embarrassed. He felt the gazes of his friends trying hard to hold back their smiles, and he complained bitterly. His image of being a wise man was completely gone at this moment.

He gritted his teeth and explained: "Master, please calm down. I encountered some accidents on the way, but it's nothing serious."

Xie Lize frowned and asked sternly, "So, was it because of your negligence that the person you were following got lost?"

Ye Qi immediately retorted: "No, that girl walks slower than a turtle. I just came back to tell you that it's time to change the person in charge of Ye San's mine."

"Exactly. Who of you wants to go?"

"Your Highness, it was Ye Qi who proposed it, so naturally Ye Qi went."

"He can't even do a good job with a girl. It's so embarrassing."

"Ye Wu, go and follow them. Don't lose them. Ye Qi, go and mine!"

"Master, Ye Wu is not here right now as he went to investigate the female thief."

"You go that night."

The two shouted in unison: "I obey your command."

After saying that, Xie Lize picked up the book and continued to read, but he was absent-minded: Gu Yuxi seemed to appear out of thin air in Pingxiang County to buy a donkey. Gu Sanhe said that Gu Yuxi had good medical skills, but she was just a weak woman.

That person was a man with great martial arts skills, unlike Gu Yuxi, a little girl selling flowers and teasing donkeys in the market.

"When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she will laugh in the bushes. My brain is not working well, am I flattering you? Or maybe you have the ability to swallow up the sun, moon and stars, but your heart is in the red-light district of the market?"

Two days later...

Yuan Xin was surprised when he saw Xiao Zhuoxuan coming to him for help: After all, Gu Sanhe's activities were not regulated, and he had a better reputation than them, the detectives. Was he overthinking it?

"Does my nephew really want to do this?"

"Uncle Yuan, we are all family. Guyu County has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. This place is a good place for development."

"Your words are pleasant to hear, but if I leave you in Guyu County, I'm afraid your uncle will say something and your parents will hold you accountable."

"You're overthinking it. I have no parents. Uncle Sanhe has gone traveling, but a man must have a job to make a living. Does Uncle Yuan dislike his nephew?"

"I don't have any. Since you are a drifter with no one to rely on, then you can settle down in Guyu County. You don't call me uncle for nothing."

"In that case, thank you Uncle Yuan for taking care of me."

Xiao Zhuoxuan is now like a duckweed floating on the water, with no fixed place to live. There must be a destined reason for him to come to Guyu County.

"You are a newcomer in our industry and don't understand the twists and turns. I will tell you in advance."

"I'd like to hear more details. I'm all ears."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuoxuan had a good attitude, Yuan Xin looked at the young man again with satisfaction. He did have a good appearance, but it was a pity that his daughter was already married... He had the wrong idea.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"It's okay. This business requires a thick face and a black heart. Only then can you get the money."

Xiao Zhuoxuan frowned. Which industry doesn't require the basic skills of being thick-skinned and ruthless?

"We may have a bad reputation, but we have a lot of money, especially when those officials are about to be exiled."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Yuan Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "As long as you have the ability to hide, it won't be a problem. After all, there is still a process of sharing the wealth together."

"Nephew understands."

"Well, from now on you will be my follower, so you can get to know me first."

"Thank you, Uncle Yuan, for your kindness."

"Hahaha, then it's a deal. I'll take you to meet some colleagues."
