Chapter 122: Dark Yao Reappears

"Xiaolang, are you calling me?"

Xu You called the Winter Solstice alone to the room and said, "Well, I want to trouble you with something."

The Winter Solstice was startled and thought he had done something wrong. His little face turned pale and his voice trembled, saying, "Xiaolang, I, I..."

Xu You patted her head and cursed with a smile: "What a panic? I'm not punishing you! I'll tell you slowly!"

The Winter Solstice was exaggerated and said, "I almost didn't breathe," he pulled Xu You's sleeve robe and said, "Xiao Lang, can you finish talking about something together in the future? I'm young and can't stand it!"

Xu You couldn't help laughing and said, "How old are you older than the autumnal equinox? Are you still young?"

"I am old, but my childish heart is still..."

"Okay, okay, stop, I can't even eat lunch if I continue!"

Xu You and Dong Xie joked a few times, and when they mentioned the serious matters, they seemed a little hesitant. Dong Xie observed his expression and said carefully: "Xiao Lang, if there is anything, just tell me, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it with my heart."

"Do you... have any contact with Mrs. Guo?"

Dongzhi was stunned at first, and his white and tender face turned red in an instant. He quickly defended: "Since I followed Xiaolang, I have no other intentions! Mrs. Guo is far away in Jinling, how can I contact you? Who is raving in front of Xiaolang? I am willing to confront you in front of you. If there is a half-in-one statement, I would rather kill you in front of this beam and pillar!"

Xu You said helplessly: "Who has learned the problem of learning? I'm looking for death at a young age? This is Jingyuan, not the boat pavilion of Guo's mansion, and no one rambles in front of me. I just want to ask you, does Mrs. Guo have a place to live in Jinling? If someone is sent, can I contact you?"

The reprimanded by Xu You by Winter Solstice is not only not annoyed, but it is very helpful to her heart. Because she has gradually understood Xu You's temper, and only when she is to her own people can she show a slight look of joy and anger. What outsiders see is always a smile, but they don't know when they are left behind and are no longer in the world.

"The Guo family has many industries in Jinling, and the wife must live in one of them. Just ask for it and you will definitely find it."

"Okay, you can take the time to compile a book these days and ask my wife Hello!"

"ah?"

Many thoughts flashed through Dongzhi's heart. She was in charge of the boat pavilion, and how could she not know about the vague feelings between Xu You and Zhan Wenjun? Especially after Concubine Song intervened many times, which forced Zhan Wenjun to leave Mingyu Mountain in a hurry, and she didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to Xu You. She couldn't help but whisper: "Did Xiaolang miss his wife?"

Xu You laughed and said in a gentle voice: "I can't say I miss you, but my wife treats me well. As the end of the year approaches, I just want to know her current situation."

Seeing that Xu You was not angry, Dongzhi plucked his courage and said, "It's better than Xiaolang to write books? The lady will definitely feel happy from the bottom of her heart."

Xu You sighed and said, "What can you do with joy? No need to mention the past. After all, you are a master and servant with her. You are deeply in love. It is natural to greet you during the holidays. Don't have any worries."

Dongshen couldn't guess Xu You's true intentions, and just thought he really wanted to greet Zhan Wenjun, saying, "Okay, I'll write a letter immediately and then send someone to Jinling."

"No need, just leave it to me after the letter is written. You don't have to worry about the others. I have my own arrangements for the sender!"

Dongzhi was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask too much, and responded and stepped back respectfully. Xu You knelt on the cushion, took a teacup and drank it lightly. There seemed to be a heroic girl sitting in front of her, folding her hands under her belly, smiling at him.

Yu Tu's affairs came to an end for the time being. Her every move was staring at the Winter Solstice secretly, and she was not afraid of causing a big trouble in a short period of time. Xu You and He Ru moved together, Zuo Qi and Shanzong's entourage guards, and took the newly bought sixteen men to Sajinfang. After watching the latest progress in the shop, everyone was enthusiastic and full of energy. The endless large paper orders also led to the hot sale of small paper. The reputation of He Paper was truly popular. Although it was not possible to step on Yanxi paper, it could at least be compared and became a famous paper that was run by the three Wus.

More importantly, Yanxi paper has become famous for many years, and the wisteria of Yanxi has almost been exhausted. Raw materials have become the biggest problem restricting the increase in paper production, but it is not the case with Hepa paper. The black vines used for Hepa paper are hidden in the mountains and no one cares about it. The crazy growth over the past century is enough to satisfy Sajinfang's continuous logging and making paper for five years. As long as the prescription of the paper medicine does not flow out, others cannot imitate it.

Xu You asked Fang Kang to control the quality control and not reduce the yield rate because of rushing work. Now is the time to build a reputation. Although quantity is of great importance, quality is the way to last. Then he told Cang Chu and Fang Kang to dispense medicines, four people outside the room were on duty and were not allowed to come in. People in the yard had to go out, and three people would come back on time to report on the arrival and specific matters. As for Yan Cheng, He Ru made excuse that he was not a craftsman of Sajinfang, so he asked Yan Shujian to keep him in the Four Treasures in the city to take care of the business, and he would not be able to come to the yard at any time, which basically eliminated the possibility of leaking secrets.

The system is strict, and this is power. Anyway, these people are Xu You's private parts. There is no place to go without relatives or reason, and no one is dissatisfied with it. But as that goes, the benefits must be kept up and the kindness and power can be used to convince the people below. So Xu You made the decision on the spot, each person will have an additional salary of 300 cents per month, and there will be meat for three days and wine for seven days. The clothes are made in stock, three sets per person, thick and soft, warm and beautiful.

People live in the world, nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. Xu You's generousness attracted the praise of the troops. They were all old men of the Zhan family. Even when the old minister of Zhan was in power, they did not have such good benefits. People died of money and birds died of food. In addition, Xu You was not a weak master, so it naturally made people respect and awe, and sincerely supported them.

Given that people have been buying a lot of paper in recent days, Yan Shujian applied to Xu You to buy another ten firewood trucks to facilitate the transportation of black vines from Heshan. Firewood trucks are a common ox carts in the folk. Unlike the noble ox carts, this kind of car has double-plate plates, which are not blocked and are mostly used to transport heavy objects. There were three of the Sajinfang, but they can no longer meet the current needs.

Xu You went over and saw that the wood truck was simple in workmanship and low in efficiency, but he didn't have the energy to improve and redesign it now. He vaguely remembered in his mind that there was a kind of wood truck in the Ming Dynasty that the shape of the wood truck was relatively scientific and made a little improvement. He told Yan Shujian that the newly bought wood truck should make the front and rear plates of the body into a grid shape, which can effectively reduce the body weight, increase the cargo load, and can also fix the cargo, prevent sliding, and ensure stability and safety.

Although this small change cannot make the truck drive faster than the car, it is also the crystallization of the wisdom of the people for thousands of years. It is better than nothing. Uncle Yan was obsessed with listening, and once again refreshed his omnipotence of Xu You, and went to do the job in a hurry. After finishing the chores of Sajinfang, He Ru continued to stay and take charge of the general, Shanzong protected him personally, and Xu You took Zuo Qi and others back home.

Halfway through the way, when he was bypassing a foot of a mountain, he suddenly heard a weak cry for help from a woman. Zuo Qi jumped out of the ox cart and saw two men, yellow turbans and yellow skirts, carrying a girl on her shoulders into the bamboo forest on the mountain. He turned around and looked at Xu You. Xu You nodded and said, "Go and see, be careful!"

"Yan Yang, be careful!"

Zuo Qi reminded Yan Yang and others who were accompanying him to protect Xu You and jumped to chase after him. The two men seemed to be used to walking on mountain roads, with very fast figures, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Zuo Qi was very skilled and brave, and hesitated, followed him into the forest. Xu You and the others heard a few loud shouts and fighting weapons. Not long after, they saw Zuo Qi walking down the mountain with a girl in her arms.

"The two thieves were familiar with the surrounding situation, and they fought with each other and immediately got into a cave. I was afraid that the husband would not be safe to stay here, so I didn't chase him too far, so I just hurriedly rescued the person."

"It's okay, it's fine if people are fine!"

The girl has a normal appearance, a slightly dark complexion, and she is only sixteen years old. She should be a nearby villager. When asked about the passage, she was still clear and said that her name was Qi Huanghua. The farmer in Sang Village, ten miles away from this mountain, went to his uncle's house to deliver oil and salt for the winter. When he passed by, the two men of Huang Shang suddenly appeared and kidnapped her. If Xu You and the others had happened to pass by, they would have been humiliated and humiliated their family.

When Xu You saw Qi Huanghua talking, she kept her head hanging down and her body was trembling. She probably was scared and said softly: "How to get to Sang Village? We have nothing to do, so why don't you send you home."

"No... I dare not bother you. I'm fine anymore. I can go back by myself." Qi Huanghua bent her knees and kowtowed: "Today, thanks to your husband, please tell me your name and report to your parents in the future. I will definitely come to my door to thank you."

Xu You declined, "It's not necessary to thank you. When you encounter such a thing, everyone will help you. Since you are fine, go home quickly. Be careful on the way. It's getting late, don't delay it!"

Seeing that many parts of her clothes were torn, revealing the snow-white skin inside, maybe because it was torn when she was kidnapped just now. Xu You took off the cloak on her body and was about to lean over to put it on her. Zuo Tiao took a step forward, took the cloak and said, "I'll do it!"

Xu You knew he was careful. After all, the girl was a stranger and should not be too close to her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you!"

The fox fur and cloak were wrapped around her body, and the warmth immediately spread to all internal organs. Qi Huanghua looked frightened and dared not accept it. She said, "I...I'm not cold..."

"You little girl, you can't go back to the village with your clothes torn. It's inevitable that you will be rumored when you are seen." Xu You comforted: "Put it on, it's cold this winter. Even if you're not cold, you can take it back to warm your parents."

Qi Huanghua burst into tears, and she couldn't stand up heavily, saying, "Mr. Lang is really the best person I have ever seen!"

Xu You asked Zuo Qi to help her up, turned around and said, "There are so many good people in the world. How dare I say it is the best place? Let's go!"

The ox cart squeaked away, Zuo Qi turned his head and looked back. Seeing that Qi Huanghua was still standing in place, looking at their backs, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This girl is quite polite and brave. When an ordinary village woman encounters such a thing, she has long been in vain. How can she speak so fluently..."

Xu You smiled and didn't say anything. After a while, Zuo Qi couldn't help asking, "Langjun, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, yesterday Qiyi said that a girl was kidnapped in the mountains and was humiliated. Although the person was found, it was almost the same as if she was dead. Du Sansheng sent a thief arrester to search the mountain. If the news was tight, he actually came out to commit a crime again today. Is it so terrible?"

"Do you think that this is done by the same group?"

"By coincidental timing and the location are similar, it should be a group of people."

Zuo Ting slapped his legs with his hands and said angrily: "If I had known this, I should have chased into the cave and captured these two people so that there would be other girls who would suffer."

"Don't enter the forest, let alone the depth of the cave is invisible. It is too dangerous to go in rashly." Xu You pondered: "After returning to the city, go to see Du Sansheng and tell him what happened just now. As long as you can basically determine the range of activities of the two thieves, it is not too difficult to arrest them!"

"Okay, listen to your husband!"

At this moment, Xu You suddenly said, "Stop!"

The emperor who was driving the car immediately tightened the reins, and the ox cart stopped slowly. Xu You's expression was never as serious as ever, and said, "Fenghu, do you remember Qi Huanghua's appearance?"

"Remember, my eyes are not big or small, my eyebrows are short and light, my lips are slightly thin, my skin is a little dark, my cheeks are like my cheeks, my cheeks... Hey, why do I feel her face is a little blurry?"

Xu You's eyes were a little cold and he said, "When was the last time I felt like this?"

Zuo Qi suddenly realized and said in a daze: "Jinling, Bijixiang... An Yao?"

Xu You stood up, stood on the shaft of the car, looking back at the back and forth. The world was vast and bleak, and there was no trace of the yellow flowers. Zuo Qi jumped down to the ground, looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "I'm going to chase now, maybe I can still chase after it, but I'm afraid that the Anyao will follow me all the way and tempt me to leave and then come to assassinate. Why not go back to the city immediately and then think of countermeasures!"

Xu You nodded and said, "I didn't find the opportunity to take action just now. I must have escaped a long time ago. Go back to the city first and send someone to Sang Village tomorrow to check it out. Qi Huanghua, a good name and a good means!"

The group did not stop anymore, and the ox cart galloped and returned to Jingyuan before the curfew. Zuo Yu did not stop for a moment and immediately arranged for Wu Shan to live in Xu You's yard with four people and strengthen his vigilance. Yan Yang and the two of them were patrolled all night and were not allowed to slack off. The autumnal equinox took the Thunder Crossbow and slept beside Xu You's bed, and placed a gong. Whenever there was a storm, the gong was beaten as a horn.

Sleepless overnight, spend your time peacefully,

When the red sun rose, the rare good weather came in December. Xu You stood happily in the yard to stretch his muscles and bones, but Zuo Qi couldn't be happy no matter how much. An Yao's cultivation was not too high, but the unpredictable art of easy bones made people shudder and could not be defended.

Especially Anyao has patience and courage. He had such a good opportunity as the foot of the mountain yesterday, and he would rather give up and take risks without the determination to kill with one blow.

Such an assassin is like a ray of light on his back, and he has a headache.
