Take the fact that every time Brother Ma went out with him, he would wait at his door. This has never stopped for three years.
Even though he told Brother Ma again and again that with his current strength, there was no need at all, and he could protect himself with Brother Ma guarding the goal like this.
But in Brother Ma's eyes, he will always be a poor young man who has just left the capital and is weak and frail. He is a greenhouse flower that needs Brother Ma's constant care.
But how could he, who has experienced wind and rain and survived tenaciously, be a delicate flower that cannot withstand the wind and frost?
"I'm fine, sir, you don't have to worry." Ma Zheng shook his head and gave Xu Tianze a simple smile.
Just as the smile appeared, it froze. Three years can be long, but it's also short, but forming a habit is easy.
In front of Xu Tianze, he has become accustomed to acting simple and foolish, in case his true appearance is exposed in front of Mr. Xu one day.
Would Master Xu still be defenseless against him? After all, he would be sent back to his master. Would he still have the chance to talk to Master Xu?
Given that Mr. Xu hates deception the most, perhaps he is no longer qualified to stand by Mr. Xu's side.
"Brother Ma, come with me to a place." Xu Tianze, lost in thought, didn't notice Ma Zheng's expression. He looked at the sky in this corner and said, "After all, I'm back now, so I have to go there and take a look."
When Ma Zheng heard Xu Tianze's words, he felt a slight pain in his heart and immediately agreed.
After accompanying Master Xu to the places he wanted to go, he would take Master Xu to the Third Prince's Mansion. After all, his master still needed to attend court, so there was still some time.
The morning sun awakened the sleeping city. The hawking sounds in the streets and alleys evolved from faint to noisy, and Xu Tianze and Ma Zheng shuttled among them.
As time went by, Xu Tianze and Ma Zheng went to increasingly remote locations, and then they walked into an alley and hid their whereabouts.
A few breaths later, two figures appeared in the quiet alley. They looked around as if they were looking for someone.
"Are you two looking for me?" Xu Tianze walked out from behind the two people, while Ma Zheng appeared at the other end of the alley and looked at them.
The two men, one fat and one thin, looked at each other, and then each rushed in one direction.
Xu Tianze looked at the fat man rushing towards him, and put his hands into his sleeves with interest. When the fat man rushed to him, Xu Tianze raised his leg and kicked the fat man back.
The fat man who fell to the ground got up and threw the silver coins in his arms at Xu Tianze as a hidden weapon.
Xu Tianze narrowed his eyes, pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, and blocked the silver coins that were shot at him with a clanging sound.
When the fat man saw that Xu Tianze couldn't break through, he turned to look at the thin man.
But when he turned around, all he saw were two big, thick legs. His gaze moved upwards along with his head, and before he could see the person clearly, a fist enlarged in his eyes.
Then my vision went black and I lost consciousness. My last thought was where did that fist come from?
Xu Tianze saw the fat man fall to the ground with a thud and shook his head. He then looked at the thin man with a bruised face and nose not far away, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Brother Ma is still as simple and rough as ever, which is good, he likes it.
"Young Master, these two people." Ma Zheng searched the two men but found nothing.
"It's okay. These two look so shabby that they can't be those beasts." Xu Tianze waved his hand nonchalantly, then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills, and stuffed them directly into the two men's mouths.
Xu Tianze saw the marks on the fat man's neck, his eyes darkened. Yesterday, the city gates were about to close, and not many people were entering or leaving Shangjing City.
The two men happened to meet Xu Tianze and his companion at the city gate. At that time, the two men were grabbing a woman and preparing to leave the city.
No matter how the woman begged, the two of them just beat and scolded her. But what surprised Xu Tianze was that both the woman and the two men just lingered there.
There was no intention of going into the city, nor of leaving the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate just watched the excitement from the side.
Thinking that he had just returned to the capital and shouldn't get involved in other people's business, he didn't pay too much attention to it, but he was also cautious and hid in the dark with Brother Ma.
Until the city gate was closed at midnight, the woman and the two men stood up, gave the gatekeepers a few taels of silver, and left together.
He had originally planned to investigate further later, but seeing as they were following him and Brother Ma for the second time, they were definitely coming for him.
But with this fat and thin guy's mediocre skills? What second-rate idiot is looking down on him so much?
But I still have things to do, so I can only teach these two a lesson first.
After meeting Long Musi later, he will find someone to investigate thoroughly, but before meeting Long Musi, he still has other things to do first.
Otherwise, with the strict supervision that Long Musi gave him, he might not be so comfortable.
The pills he had just fed to these two people were the strange-smelling itching pills he had carefully prepared. Within three days, they would feel sore, weak and extremely itchy all over.
The most important thing is that they will always emit a fragrance that is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Combined with the scent-seeking insects he asked from Old Qi, it can be a powerful tool for tracking and finding people.
After feeding the pills, Xu Tianze clapped his hands and took Ma Zheng out of the alley. Someone would take the two people lying there back.
After that, Xu Tianze and Ma Zheng encountered several more waves of people. After twisting and turning to make sure they had gotten rid of everyone, Xu Tianze and Ma Zheng directly climbed over the wall into a deserted mansion.
Although it was spring at this time of year, it still carried the warmth of the lingering snow. The yard was empty and silent, covered only with piles of snow and bare branches.
It's just a wall, but it seems to separate two worlds. The hustle and bustle outside the wall cannot be heard in this deserted mansion.
Xu Tianze just stood quietly in a yard, looking at the bare tree in the yard. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the snowflakes on the branches were blown away and slowly fell down.
Thousands of pear trees are in bloom, but it's just like this. Standing among the pear blossoms, Xu Tianze smiled.
"Are you welcoming me back?" Xu Tianze murmured to himself.
If these pear blossoms all over the sky changed color, they would be like sweet-scented osmanthus flowers whose fragrance spreads from ten miles away every season.
He liked to lie on the lounge chair under the tree and sway from time to time when the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom.
At this time, Jiang Xue would laugh and tease him about his lazy look, thinking that the old man who was almost paralyzed was more energetic than herself.
What should he do? He teased Jiang Xue that she was already a grown-up girl, but she still always drank osmanthus paste soaked in water.
Then he smiled and asked Song Yu, who was pretending not to hear the quarrel between him and Jiang Xue, how many bottles of osmanthus cream should he prepare this year, otherwise there would definitely not be enough to eat without Jiang Xue.
