Chapter 24 The Journey of Prosperity‖

Exclusive publication of Banxia Novel‖

*

Except Xue Bin, no one dared to ask Xue Yiren what happened between him and the killer, whether they had fought, so after Xue Bin got the answer, he told the guests in the mansion his father's answer.

There was nothing that could not be said, the two of them lived in peace, and Wu Du even wished him a happy birthday before he left.

Xue Yiren did not say that Chongming was Wu Du's senior brother, because he believed that Chongming did not want others to think that he was Wu Du's senior brother.

He respected the two young men, so he stayed out of it and never interfered.

But Xue Yiren did not want to interfere, but there were many other people who wanted to interfere.

Yuan Suiyun began to wonder if there were really spies from Wanwulou in Xuejia Manor. Xue Xiaoren wanted to know from whom Wudu learned his kung fu. Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei wanted to meet this person and ask what Wudu was planning.

Bu Zao was a considerate and good player. He put the concerns of the sponsor first. He came to the door that night and apologized for sneaking into the manor. Then he said that he would leave for the desert immediately and would definitely complete the commission.

Liu Wumei and Li Yuhan, who listened to him through the window: "…………"

Silence was the background color of tonight. The two were speechless and admired Wudu for daring to return to Xuejia Manor.

"We believe you."

Just based on the courage to come and go freely in the villa, Liu Wumei also believed that this person dared to go to the Stone Forest Cave Mansion. As for his strength, it was useless to think too much.

Li Yuhan wanted to ask about the relationship between Chongming and Wudu. Wudu could sneak into the villa on purpose, so the relationship must be very deep.

But Wudu quickly said goodbye and left quietly, and Li Yuhan did not have the opportunity to ask.

"This is a matter between the two of them. Whether there is hatred or resentment, it has nothing to do with us."

Liu Wumei was very wary of the weird and unpredictable Chongming. His moody appearance even reminded her of Shi Guanyin.

The reason why Li Yuhan wanted to ask clearly was because he wanted to control everything in his hands to avoid mistakes. Seeing his wife's cautious face, he gave up this idea.

No matter what, as long as he could get his wife out of torture, he would have no more requests.

*

Chongming had already moved his position, and Bu Zao went there for a stroll wearing Wu Du's vest as a token of his intention, and lazily basked in the sun in the empty house.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong spotted his figure on the road, and followed the undisguised Wu Du all the way to this place. After hesitating for a moment outside, he climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

Wu Du sat on a bench basking in the sun.

The two looked at each other.

In fact, Yidianhong had many questions he wanted to ask, such as what Wu Du had experienced after escaping, and where did he learn his martial arts... But looking at Wu Du, he couldn't ask.

How many people would remember what happened seven years ago? Moreover, Wudu was younger and still a child seven years ago.

"This is your home,"

Yidianhong asked. Bu

Zao shook his head.

Yidianhong was a man of his word. Since he had promised to wait until Wudu finished his business, he would wait.

Because he found out that Wudu went to Xuejiazhuang not for the murder business, but for his own private affairs.

Now there are rumors outside, saying that Wudu and the owner of Wanwu Building have a grudge, otherwise why would Wudu sneak into Xuejiazhuang?

Yidianhong's appearance outside Xuejiazhuang was also believed to be revenge for Wudu's snatching of his target. Under the circumstances that both parties did not show their faces, no one knew that they were currently in a peaceful state.

Bu Zao invited Yidianhong to drink milk tea. As a player with a game mall, he would never let his life be boring. Before leaving, Chongming left some snacks and desserts for Wudu. Now he happened to share them with Yidianhong, a pretty good colleague.

Yidianhong sat down hesitantly.

"Whose home is this?"

He was surprised that Wudu was so comfortable using the owner's food.

Wudu had taken off his mask. Yidianhong found that his face had not changed much and was childish. No wonder he was wearing a mask.

This look was indeed not a face that could scare or shock others.

"The home of the person I'm looking for, but he's gone."

"...The owner of Wanwu Building, Chongming"

"Yes."

It seems that the relationship between them is not as hostile as rumored by the outside world, Yidianhong thought to himself, and did not continue to ask.

He stared at the pink liquid in front of him that exuded a sweet aroma, and tried to drink a sip.

It tasted good.

The rest of the snacks were also very good.

After the two finished their snacks, Wu Du put on a mask and stood up to leave. Yidianhong asked him: "How long will it take for you to complete that business?"

Wu Du thought for a while and said: "It may take as short as a month or longer. I will finish it as soon as possible."

He said goodbye to Yidianhong and turned to leave.

Not long after Wu Du left, Yidianhong sat there for a while.

This small courtyard is very quiet, far away from the crowd, as if it is isolated from the world. Yidianhong experienced a rare moment of silence.

When he had enough rest, he wanted to leave, and planned not to go through the main gate as he did when he came. But after climbing over the wall and landing, he found a garish face not far away looking at him.

Yidianhong was a little surprised to find that the man was Xue Erye, the stupid master of Xuejiazhuang.

Before Xue Erye caught up with him, Yidianhong left quickly.

Xue Xiaoren just pretended to walk past. As soon as Yidianhong disappeared, he stopped where he was, staring at the wall where Yidianhong had climbed out with a gloomy look, wondering:

How could Yidianhong appear here?

When he climbed in again, he found that Chongming had already left. He was even more puzzled and had a lot of questions in his mind.

Two days later, Yidianhong met the leader of the assassin organization.

The other party was still dressed the same way for many years, his face was hidden under the dark cloak, and his voice was low and hoarse.

Yidianhong waited for him to speak in silence.

The man in black asked: "What's the matter between you and Wudu?"

Yidianhong replied: "He has a business, let me discuss it, and we will discuss the previous things after the business is done."

Xue Xiaoren: "..."

Xue Xiaoren: "You agreed"

Yidianhong nodded silently.

Then he heard a sneer from under the hood, as if laughing at his stupidity.

"Don't you want to do it?"

Xue Xiaoren asked.

Seven years ago, Yidianhong's strength was definitely higher than that kid who couldn't even hold the sword steadily. It would have been easy for him to kill him with one blow, but before killing him, he let him fall into the cliff in the forest. Xue Xiaoren always thought that Yidianhong was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to do it.

Yidianhong said, "No. I will kill him."

There was one thing that Yidianhong had never been able to tell the leader. He did raise his sword against Wudu that year. Although the child was not half as strong as him, he was agile and seemed to be able to see through his swordsmanship and avoided it very easily.

This is what Yidianhong gradually recalled after meeting Wudu. It was obvious that Wudu was gifted and could see through his swordsmanship at that time. He would only become better after becoming his apprentice.

Xue Xiaoren sneered again, but did not speak again. He fell into silence, as if he was thinking about something.

Yidianhong looked at him in confusion, waiting for his instructions. Before meeting Yidianhong, Xue Xiaoren wanted to entrust Yidianhong with the task of finding out where Wudu came from. After all, they had an open feud, and it was legitimate. But after hearing Yidianhong's narration, Xue Xiaoren began to suspect that Yidianhong would still go easy on Wudu, and that Yidianhong might hear something from Wudu.

So after thinking about it, Xue Xiaoren gave up this plan and gave Yidianhong a new task, asking him to refine his swordsmanship while waiting and not to embarrass himself.

Yidianhong accepted the task in silence.

He wanted to say that he would kill Wudu, but when he saw the vague and cold outline under the leader's hood, he said nothing in the end.

*

Bu Zao accepted the commission from Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei and prepared to go to the desert seriously.

Although there are still two bosses in Songjiang Mansion who are tracking his whereabouts, Abuhaya does not plan to confront them now.

After that, there will be a lot of time and countless opportunities for laning. For dedicated players, the most important thing at the moment is to complete the task of finding the antidote from the Stone Forest Cave.

According to what Bu Zao knew about the plot and what she observed, Liu Wumei was not poisoned. What tormented her was the deep-seated fear of Shi Guanyin.

So Bu Zao thought carefully about how to find the antidote in Shilin Cave Mansion - just grab some antidote, and by the way, we would like to give you the service of "Finding Shi Guanyin for fun".

Wudu set out for the Western Region, not worried about supplies, not afraid of danger, and relaxed.

On the other hand, during the time when Chongming and Wudu were both in Songjiang Prefecture, Wangcai from Bianjing worked diligently to become familiar to the various powers in the capital.

Bu Zao was not bragging, Wangcai was a very beautiful dog, with soft and shiny fur, as if he was conspicuous through a filter.

He had a den in the Shenhou Mansion, a dog hole in the six gates, and was allowed to move around in the Shentong Hou Mansion. He was seen in the hidden stakes of the Liufenban Hall and Jinfengxiyu Tower - except for the Taiping Palace.

Gong Jiu probably really had a bit of arrogance that was limited to dogs. After being rejected the first time, Bu Zao went there several more times, but was rejected every time. The guards guarding the palace gate couldn't help but tell him not to come again.

Bu Zao had no other thoughts. Whether he wanted to see her or not, he didn't just have Gong Jiu as his sponsor. There were so many people who liked Wang Cai that they couldn't count them all. There were so many people who were willing to open the door for him.

After being rejected again, Bu Zao walked happily to the Shentong Marquis Mansion and entered Fang Yingkan's study room with familiarity.

The young marquis had many secrets, and he was not as innocent as he appeared. When he was alone in the study room, he was shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.

In other words, he stopped acting, and it was written all over his body, "Yes, I do have many secrets, and the me you see outside is not the real me."

He smiled at Wangcai from behind his desk and asked, "You went to Prince Taiping's Mansion again?"

Bu Zao: "Woof."

"I really don't know if you are loyal or sentimental..." Fang Yingkan said with a smile, "You are just a dog who can only bark, but you are more likable than people who can talk."

Nonsense. Because it's a dog.

Bu Zao had reason to suspect that the young marquis felt uncomfortable because he saw that he was more efficient than him in gaining favor.

Fang Yingkan was a person who could get along with everyone, was likable, and had a good relationship with everyone.

But no one would act in front of a dog, and occasionally this person would say something in front of Wangcai that could not be thought of deeply.

Just like what he said just now, Bu Zao lazily wagged his tail, turned around and jumped away.

Being a dog is a very good thing. You can roam freely and no one cares, and everyone thinks he is cute.

Bu Zao left the study, crossed the courtyard, walked over the small bridge, and left the Shentonghou Mansion through the dog hole.

After leaving the Shentonghou Mansion, he found Lengxue according to the location.

Lengxue had just returned from outside the city with a prisoner, and his expression was grim. When he saw Wangcai popping out from the side, he was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Woof!" Bu Zao leaned over and rubbed his head against his legs.

The prisoner glared at the dog with a ferocious look on his face, but Lengxue didn't dare to glare at him. Can't he glare at a dog?

Bu Zao raised his claws and kicked him hard.

Lengxue's dog-pleasing buff continued to play a role, and staying with Lengxue even had a beneficial effect on Wangcai. There were so many Wangcai's wings in Bianjing, and Bu Zao spent the longest time with Lengxue.

After escorting the criminal to the Six Gates, Leng Xue and Wang Cai returned to the Shen Hou Mansion. As soon as they entered the Shen Hou Mansion, they ran into Zhui Ming. He was a little surprised and said, "You two are really destined to meet."

Wang Cai: "Oh."

Leng Xue laughed.

No one in the Shen Hou Mansion had any opinion on Wang Cai's ability to get along with everyone. If Wang Cai was a person, they might have a lot of concerns, but Wang Cai was a dog, so there was no problem.

Not long after returning to the Hou Mansion, Leng Xue had to leave Beijing again. He has always been busy, and under Wu Qing's recommendation, he took on a case related to He Yizhen and Jin Jiuling.

According to the information provided by "Wanwulou", Jin Jiuling once conspired with others to rob a family that had fallen on hard times but had valuable calligraphy and paintings. After the paintings and calligraphy were sold, the money was split in half. Now Jin Jiuling is dead, but the other person is still at large.

What Lengxue has to do is to expose his true identity and arrest him.

Bu Zao had already crawled into Leng Xue's bag, and when Leng Xue was lifting the bag, he popped his head out and looked at him eagerly.

Leng Xue: "...No, you can't come."

He took Wang Cai out, and Wang Cai drooped his ears and tail, revealing a lost and aggrieved look, with wet eyes as if he was about to cry.

Wang Cai: "Aww."

[The system expressed subtle praise for the player's professionalism.]

Leng Xue insisted on his opinion, rubbed Wang Cai's neck, and the little goldfish strung with a red rope was looming. He looked at the little goldfish and said, "You can't go...you will get lost."

What he was doing was full of dangers, and it was impossible for him to take Wang Cai with him. It was the best choice for Wang Cai to stay in Bian Jing.

Bu Zao felt a little regretful. It was the best choice to go with Leng Xue, but he had a backup plan if Leng Xue didn't want to.

After Leng Xue left Beijing, Bu Zao went to the Taiping Palace again.

Gong Jiu was also going to leave Beijing recently. Over the years, he had spent more time on the nameless island than in the palace. There were too many spies and informants from various factions in Bian Jing, and he didn't like staying here.

Wangcai entered the palace through the dog hole.

Someone was startled because he looked familiar with Wangcai: "Wangcai, how did you get in!"

Wangcai barked at him and ran to find Gong Jiu. Gong Jiu was reading a book. When he heard the sound outside, he frowned at first, then got up and went out.

There was a dog outside the door.

The shiny fur was covered with moss and dirt, and Wangcai looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Gong Jiu: "..."

Gong Jiu returned to the study and closed the door.

"Ao wang——"

Bu Zao thought, big brother, you are really against the dog.

Gong Jiu ignored the dog, but there were many people who cared for the dog, and he was not the only one.

King Taiping ordered the chef to cut some meat and cook a bowl of dog food for Wangcai. Fortunately, they did not prepare leftovers, but fresh food, otherwise Bu Zao would have staged a scene of the dog eating snacks.

When Gong Jiu went out at night, Wangcai already had a place in the main hall, squatting on a chair and looking at him with his tongue sticking out.

King Taiping also knew the origin of Wangcai these days, and said: "Wangcai is really a beautiful and spiritual dog. I don't know why he got separated from his original owner."

Gong Jiu said: "Too smart dogs can also be annoying."

Wangcai tilted his head, looking like he didn't understand.

Even if he understood, he would pretend not to understand, or he was too lazy to listen. Gong Jiu was indifferent to people, but he was full of dissatisfaction with dogs. Wangcai was just a dog.

Bu Zao found it difficult to understand Gong Jiu's train of thought, but this did not prevent him from taking the carriage and leaving Beijing with Gong Jiu.

The next day, Gong Jiu said goodbye to King Taiping in front of the carriage. A low black shadow quickly jumped over him and jumped into the carriage.

King Taiping: "...Is that Wangcai?"

Gong Jiu's face turned cold and he ordered people to drag the dog out of the carriage. After a mess of howling, Bu Zao refused to get off the carriage.

The driver looked at Gong Jiu helplessly.

Prince Taiping was surprised and said, "Wangcai doesn't bite people... It's also strange." He advised Gong Jiu, "You might as well take it with you. You have a companion and it can lead the way for you." Bu Zao

almost laughed out loud in the carriage, but Gong Jiu replied calmly, "It's hard to keep it familiar."

"After getting along for a long time, you will naturally have feelings for it."

Prince Taiping had heard a little about Wangcai being loved by everyone, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, it's just a dog. If you tie it to your side, you will have feelings for it.

Thinking of this, Prince Taiping ordered the people around him to get a dog leash.

Bu Zao: Fuck.

Gong Jiu thought for a while and felt that the dog leash was very useful. The red rope could also be untied, so he stood there and waited for the dog leash to be brought.

The plan didn't change. Bu Zao didn't want to be tied to a dog leash, so he got out of the car window and ran away quickly.

"Ah!"

The driver felt that the car behind him was too quiet. He turned around and saw Wangcai running away with his tail wagging.

Gong Jiu heard the sound and looked, but didn't even see the shadow of the dog. He sneered slightly.

At this time, the dog leash was brought, but the dog was gone.

"It's useless..."

"Give it to me."

Gong Jiu took the dog leash.

...

[Jianghu secret: The prince of Taiping carried a dog leash with him, but he didn't have a dog. Is this the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature (from a passing sparrow.)]

Probably both.

Bu Zao took an attitude of indifference to this secret.

〖The system has doubts about the player's indifferent attitude, "It was you who provoked him first."〗

Bu Zao swore that he would never put a leash on a dog in his life. The vest Wangcai is indeed a dog, and he is very happy to be a dog, but he is not a pet dog, but the mascot of the Salted Fish Sect.

This is an ironclad fact. Anyone who wants him to wear a leash is an enemy of the Salted Fish Sect!

Bu Zao, who escaped the dog leash crisis, did not return to the Shenhou Mansion immediately this time, but went to a clinic on the way.

There was a carriage parked outside the clinic, and a pale and thin young man was about to get on the carriage.

Bu Zao stopped not far from him and blinked at him.

Su Mengzhen noticed this very beautiful dog, with a red rope looming around it, and realized that this dog was Wangcai, who often traveled between the Shenhou Mansion, the Shentonghou Mansion, and the Taiping Palace.

Wangcai was well-known in Bianjing. He had been to so many places and was very conspicuous, so more or less people knew of his existence.

A gust of wind blew by, Su Mengzhen coughed, nodded at Wangcai, and then got on the carriage.

Bu Zao watched the carriage leave.

Su Mengzhen often stayed in the Jinfengxiyu Tower, and it was rare for him to go down the mountain this time, so Bu Zao came to make himself familiar with him.

After meeting Su Mengzhen, Bu Zao ran to see Di Feijing.

The head of the Liufenbantang, Di Da, was sitting quietly on a high place, looking down at the sunshade that was visible.

A dog barking attracted his attention. Wangcai was wagging his tail and looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Di Fei was surprised and smiled faintly.

A dog will not get involved in any complicated things. It is carefree and fearless, so Di Feijin can smile at it without any worries.

Bu Zao said hello and left Di Feijin's sight. When he returned to Shenhou Mansion, it was already late. The stars were shining brightly. The bright moon illuminated the road he walked on. The shadows on the ground were blurry and faint.

As a member of the Salted Fish Sect, Wangcai was able to restore his strength. Even though he walked a long way, he was not tired at all.

On the way back, he happened to meet Zhui Ming who came back from drinking. Zhui Ming looked Wangcai up and down and marveled: "Wangcai, Wangcai, how many homes do you have?"

"Woof woof woof woof."

The question was wrong. He should ask "How many pairs of wings do you have?"

Bu Zao responded to him deeply in his heart.

One man and one dog entered the Shenhou Mansion. Wuqing called Zhuiming over and picked out two cases that needed to be looked after and handed them to Zhuiming.

Bu Zao wagged his tail. It was best to follow the captains out, but they didn't take a carriage. Captain Wuqing had no plans to go out recently, so he could only take a ride from others.

Wangcai had been in Bianjing for long enough.

The next day, Bu Zao found a escort team that was leaving the capital to take a ride. He curled up in the thatch and took a long sleep. When he opened his eyes again, the escort team had already left the city.

The sky was dark, the wind was howling, and it seemed that God was in a bad mood. There was a damp smell of impending storm.

Bu Zao shook his head and woke up.

The escort team stopped outside a post station. Bu Zao slipped into the post station and began to patrol with great fanfare.

Wangcai has a delicate appearance and is a well-raised pet. The post station thought it was a dog brought by a guest, and the guest thought it was a dog raised by the post station. Bu Zao

only heard it slurping along the way, wagging its tail at people, wandering around the house, walking up and down, and even in the sundries room.

As a stand-alone game, "Simulation Jianghu 1.0" has a setting that allows you to collect items and exchange them for money. There is a similar setting in 2.0. Bu Zao once collected items such as "a broken whip" and "an old sword without a sheath" from Gong Jiu, and exchanged them for fifty copper plates each.

The identity of the previous user did not increase their value. Old things are old things. Bu Zao didn't think it was a big deal, but he was skeptical about the popularity of the popular characters in Simulation Jianghu.

In response, the system explained with a mechanical electronic voice: [No matter who has owned them, they are useless things in the final analysis, they are garbage. The recycling department is doing serious business, not perverts or perverts.]

This overly serious answer made Bu Zao silent for a long time. He felt that he was more like a pervert for being skeptical about Gong Jiu's popularity.

After taking all the wool that could be taken and the progress of debt repayment slowly increased, Bu Zao returned to the thatched pile of the escort team.

After hitching a ride for several days, the escort team stopped in a prosperous town. Bu Zao never revealed his existence from beginning to end, and parted ways with the escort team in this town.

The mascot Wangcai started its journey again.
