Xu Ying had an extremely luxurious private garden in the west of Huating County, named "Afang".

Two dandy young men named Xu, Xu Ying and Xu Bangning, were enjoying themselves with women.

The latter came to Huating at the beginning of the month. It was a rare occasion for him to come out, and after the meeting he hung out with Xu Ying, and it has been almost a month.

But today, although he had wine and a beautiful girl in his arms, the young master was unhappy. He often took out his anger on the beauty beside him, tearing and biting her like a mad dog, which made Xu Ying, who was particularly happy today, feel very disappointed.

"You go down first." Xu Ying pinched the singer's tearful face and temporarily dismissed them.

Then he poured Xu Bangning a cup of 'wolfberry tiger bone wine' and said, "Young Master, you can't stand a long battle. You've only fought a few rounds, and you're already dejected?"

"Don't give me that. I'm just in a bad mood. There's no need for me to drink this stuff." Xu Bangning rolled his eyes at him.

"What's wrong? Did my nephew's letter spoil your mood?" Xu Ying asked with a smile and poured himself a drink.

Regardless of whether Xu Bangning was happy or not, he was extremely happy. His eldest nephew actually became a disciple of his enemy, so he didn't have to worry about anyone competing with him.

"You ask even though you know the answer." Xu Bangning snorted.

"I just don't understand. Didn't your nephew just become a disciple? Is it necessary to make you so upset?" Xu Ying asked, crossing her legs: "Look, my nephew also became a disciple. He eats and drinks as usual, and he is not affected at all."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks here." Xu Bangning rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can our situations be the same? You have never met the man named Zhao, but he and I have an irreconcilable feud!"

"Oh, such a big grudge?" Xu Ying laughed and said, "I didn't hit you or scold you, it's just that I humiliated you a little, is it that serious?"

"No one has ever dared to humiliate me like that in my entire life!" Xu Bangning got angry at Xu Ying's intentional provocation. He picked up the wine glass and drank a cup, gritting his teeth and said, "When I left Wei Ji Xian, I swore that I would break his limbs and make him beg for mercy in front of me like a mangy dog! Then I would step on his head and urinate on his head!"

"It's been a whole fucking year, why haven't you taken any action yet?" Xu Ying poured Xu Bangning another glass of wine.

"Haven't I inherited the title yet? My father is afraid of losing the greater for the smaller, so he doesn't let me do anything reckless." Xu Bangning spat fiercely, "If I become a Duke now, the first thing I'll do is to kill that kid named Zhao, then I won't be named Xu!"

"Then forget it, calm down." Xu Ying couldn't say anything else, but she was the best at provoking people. "Wait until you become the Duke, then settle the score with him... But if the old master lives to a ripe old age, you'll have to wait."

"Cheers!" Xu Bangning drank up the tiger bone wine in the cup, then threw it out of the house and broke it into pieces. "I can't wait that long!"

He stood up and paced around the room like a hungry wolf. "My eldest brother is desperate and is about to lose to me. He actually let the grandson of a duke take the son of a county magistrate who is younger than him as his teacher. He really brought shame to our ancestors!"

"You can't say that..." Xu Ying smiled awkwardly. After all, his nephew was older than Zhao Hao and also worshipped Zhao Hao as his master. "The key is what can we get from that kid. He is just the son of a county magistrate. He just runs a shabby company and has a few lousy dollars. Can he be richer than your family?"

Xu Bangning's expression froze, and he sat down dejectedly and said, "What my eldest brother values ​​is not his position in Jiangnan."

"You mean...Beijing?" Xu Ying looked surprised.

How can it be said that the person who knows you best is always your enemy? Xu Bangning said quietly, "I heard that the boy is in Beijing and has partnered with someone to open a Xishan company."

"Who are you partnering with?" Xu Ying asked.

"It seems like there are a lot of dignitaries, and my cousin brother, Duke Dingguo, is also among them." Xu Bangning rubbed his face vigorously and said gloomily, "These people are easy to deal with, but the key is that the eldest princess is also among them, and she is the godmother of that kid."

"Oh, that's troublesome." Xu Ying couldn't help but sighed, "If your elder brother gets in touch with the princess through him, wouldn't it be known to the emperor? If the old master wants to do something, we'll have to worry about him filing a complaint with the emperor."

"Now you know why I'm annoyed?" Xu Bangning rolled his eyes and slumped in his seat as if his bones had been pulled out. "Damn it, my eldest nephew is different from his wooden father. He is really shameless. I can't guarantee that the kid surnamed Zhao won't let him make him happy and wade into my family's muddy water."

"It's really possible." Xu Ying nodded in agreement, and said with a worried look on her face, "What should we do then?"

"No, we can't just sit and wait for them to make peace." Xu Bangning stood up again, his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth like a hungry wolf. "We have to find a way to solve this problem."

"Generally speaking, at times like this, you either solve the problem or solve the person who caused the trouble." Although Xu Ying was mainly guiding, she was really worried that Xu Bangning's intelligence was not enough and he might not be able to think of a solution, so she had to guide him step by step.

"Hmm." Xu Bangning really understood, and stroked his chin and said, "In that case, it's easier to kill that guy."

"Oh, no. Even though you are the son of the Duke, you can't do anything reckless." Xu Ying hurriedly advised: "Even if you dig up the newly built levee, it is better than killing people."

"What are you afraid of? I have several gold medals of immunity from death at home!" Xu Bangning snorted nonchalantly.

But he was just talking nonsense.

In fact, he had someone keep an eye on Zhao Hao since last year. But that guy was too scared of death, and didn't have the arrogance of a young man at all, okay?

He almost never appeared in public and never slept with prostitutes. Wherever he went, he was accompanied by a dozen or twenty strong guards who were former soldiers.

The guard leader named Gao Wu was a retired member of the Qi Family Army...

Moreover, after offending Xu Ge's family, Zhao Hao once again strengthened his guards.

Finally, the people below concluded that if they wanted to kill this guy, they had to send out regular troops to be sure of getting rid of him.

If I did that, my nephew would probably be so happy that he went crazy.

~~

"But with the princess here, killing him would be a hassle after all." So the young master denied himself without changing his expression, "And I have thought of a better way."

"Oh, what method?" Xu Ying asked curiously.

"You reminded me just now." Then Xu Bangning said quietly, "Hasn't everyone been talking about the miracle of Kunshan building a dike in a month? If I take advantage of a typhoon and secretly send people to dig a few holes in their newly built dike, what do you think will happen?"

ps. Third update, I'm going to rest my eyes. Hope it will be better tomorrow.
