The yellow sand rolled under the strong wind.

In front of Fengling Peak Pass, the scouts reported: "Report, a large number of Hu soldiers were found five miles ahead."

Lu Chengfeng stood on the wall with a calm voice: "How many?"

"Visual estimation is about [-]!"

Hearing the moment of silence, Lu Chengfeng said to himself for a moment: "It's much less than I imagined, Tuoba Yu is not stupid, if he transfers all his troops to attack Fengling Peak, he will be defeated if he can't take care of himself. "

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and said, "Be alert!"

"As ordered!"

After a while Zhuo San came up: "Master."

Lu Chengfeng stared ahead, looked at the people and horses gradually approaching in the distance, and said, "Are you all ready?"

Zhuo Sandao: "It's all done."

Perhaps it was because he had waited too long for this moment, and when it arrived, Lu Chengfeng didn't feel the slightest bit. The king's flag was stretched high in the distance, and the shield soldiers rushed forward, stepping forward step by step.

Lu Chengfeng didn't speak, took a bow and arrow from the side, and lit a bright fire beside the wall. With the strong wind, the star seedlings flew up, and the ground was smelly two or three miles away, but it was covered in the yellow sand against the wind.

Lu Chengfeng slowly put one end of the arrow in the brazier beside him. The sky was clear, and a large cloud in the distance formed a strange cloud cluster.She concentrated on the brazier, her eyes fell on the white silk ribbon falling from her wrist, and she was in a daze for a while.

The tenderness was only for a moment, and soon a startling fire was condensed, and the kerosene wrapped in the tip of the arrow was ignited, shining brightly with destruction.

Lu Chengfeng strung the bow and drew the bow, but the flames danced wildly in the wind but never extinguished. Her last bit of nostalgia was blown away by the wind, and the rocket pierced through the air, faster than a crossbow arrow fired quickly, piercing through the tranquility of the nail and falling on the ground. at the feet of the crowd.

A huge circle of flames erupted from west to east, and several soldiers who couldn't dodge were hit by the fire and rolled in panic.

"Oh!"

A huge sound suddenly sounded, followed by another sound soon after, only to hear the sound of gunpowder explosion in the distance, and the Qiang Hu shield soldiers who stepped into the bombing range were immediately blown to blood.

"Drink——" Xie Jiuxiao woke up suddenly from a burst of palpitations and anxiety. He slowly came back to his senses, and found that he was so sleepy that he fell asleep lying on the desk, and the account book was also crumpled.

Xie Jiuxiao didn't pay attention to this, and wiped his forehead with his hand. The window was open in early winter, and he broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

Xie Jiuxiao took out the handkerchief and wiped it. After wiping it, he stared at the handkerchief again. Because it had been washed repeatedly, it looked ordinary in texture, with a simple embellishment on the right side.

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help thinking about this handkerchief. At the beginning, he was so obsessed that he secretly hid this handkerchief. Later, he was often laughed at by her.

On the small couch, Lu Chengfeng smiled and pulled out the handkerchief with a corner exposed, and looked around: "Why does this handkerchief look so familiar?"

Xie Jiuxiao didn't change his face: "Really? Maybe I use it too much, and it's not surprising that your eyes are familiar."

Lu Chengfeng shook the handkerchief, said with a smile: "Xie Jiuxiao, you can hide it! I said why can't I find it."

Xie Jiuxiao argued, "You gave it to me yourself."

"Give it to you? I'm obviously just wiping your sweat, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it—"

She teased and made fun of her tone, Xie Jiuxiao suddenly felt ashamed: "Give it back to me—"

The two huddled together on the couch.

The guard knocked on the door suddenly, interrupting Xie Jiuxiao's thoughts, he put away his veil: "Come in."

The guard entered the door, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "My lord, something happened in Shengfang!"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "What happened?"

Jinwei said: "The dealer's shop from Jiuyuan City said that the craftsmanship we taught did not match the written records, and clamored for a refund of the money, and asked for 5000 taels from the original 1 taels, saying that because our dealer's shop lost business, he wanted compensation. "

Xie Jiuxiao frowned: "Jiuyuan?"

Xie Jiuxiao reached out to caress the crumpled account book: "Have we ever negotiated with the merchants in Jiuyuan?"

There are only two signs sold by Shengfang, Xilin and Pingyong. When did they go to Jiuyuan City?
Jin Wei said: "They took out the written evidence."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at it, and Jin Wei handed over the paper, Xie Jiuxiao took a look, and sneered after a while: "What arrogance!"

The guard brought him to the front hall, and Xie Jiuxiao understood the ins and outs as soon as he asked. The Wang family in the west district of Pingyong City signed the paperwork in Shengfang, and the business was doing well. Daoteng was sold to the dealer in Jiuyuan City, and the Wang family was considered smart. They knew that they should not use the name of Shengfang when they opened their shop, but the style of dim sum was exactly the same as Shengfang, but something went wrong, and the dealer made it The pastry tasted wrong, and the business of the store was miserable. I went to Wang's family twice but failed, so the dealer had no choice but to forge a document and found Shengfang.

Xie Jiuxiao held the thin piece of paper between his fingers, with a half smile on his face, and sat there without saying a word, so frightened that the people from the dealer held their breath and dared not speak.

Soon Wang's family came, the second shopkeeper of Wang's mansion, who was at a loss at first, but when he saw the dealer's family, his expression changed instantly, and he understood everything.

Shopkeeper Wang Er bowed his waist, bit the bullet and greeted Xie Jiuxiao with a laugh: "Mr. Xie, long time no see."

Xie Jiuxiao didn't smile, the paper was handed over to him by Jin Wei to read, Wang Er shopkeeper read it bravely, feeling a little flustered, but forced himself to calm down: "This is it?"

Hearing his rhetorical question, Xie Jiuxiao hooked his lips: "I was just about to ask shopkeeper Wang Er what this thing is."

"I——isn't this a document signed by Shengfang and the dealer——"

"Words?" Xie Jiuxiao looked sideways: "Shengfang and the dealer?"

He stood up and stared at the Wang family: "At the beginning, when the document was established, it was stated in black and white that the signboard of Shengfang was not allowed to be sold again, but you would make a plan! Shengfang received 3000 taels from the Wang family, but the Wang family asked the dealer for 5000 taels. Tsk-"

Xie Jiuxiao is white and clean, and he is dressed in white, and he speaks slowly. His whole person reveals the elegance and elegance of a son of a family, but the shopkeeper Wang Er feels a sense of coldness all over his body for no reason.

"It seems that the Wang family is playing me like a fool—"

"Thank you, Young Master, we—" He leaned over as he said, and was stopped by the guards.

Xie Jiuxiao sneered, there was no trace of warmth and modesty in his eyes, his eyes were as cold as frost: "Playing with me? Do you really think this is the territory of the Wang family?"

Wang Er still wanted to struggle to his death: "Mr. Xie, this really has nothing to do with the Wang family—"

Xie Jiuxiao lost his patience completely, and raised his hand to stop his words: "Let your big shopkeeper discuss the breach of contract. According to the black and white paper, the Wang family violated first, so they should withdraw the Shengfang signboard and pay three times the silver taels!"

Wang Er suddenly panicked: "Master Xie, listen to my explanation—"

The guard half stopped and half bombarded the person: "Second shopkeeper, please!"

Xie Jiuxiao became irritable for no reason, glanced at the dealer, and said, "The dealer imitated my handwriting. I don't bother to pursue this matter, but the dealer's business has nothing to do with Shengfang. You traded with the Wang family privately. About the Wang family."

While speaking, he ordered the guards to see off the guests, but the dealer was naturally unwilling, so why did he not want to deal directly with Shengfang, but he was rejected twice after coming, so he started thinking wrongly, never wanted to pay his wife and then folded. soldier.

Xie Jiuxiao was restless, sat in the hall for a while, stepped out of the door, and asked, "How is the battle going on at the front? Any news?"

Jinwei said: "Young master, the battle is far away from here. The news will not come back in a while. I only know that it is still going on right now."

Xie Jiuxiao was silent for a moment, and said: "Send a letter to Ji's house in Jiuyuan City, and ask them to send someone as soon as possible, otherwise I will raise my money."

"Yes."

It’s almost mid-November, the beginning of winter has passed, and the air is chilly. The leaves in the plum garden have almost fallen, and they need to be cleaned every day. Yu: If you promised me, don't break your promise, don't lie to me.
