I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 122 It turns out you are here too

Hearing Xie Yuan's question, Peng Wei groaned and curled his lips:
"You're not here to see me, how would I know?"

Xie Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied and said deliberately:

"It seems that Master Peng doesn't know much, that's all."

Peng Wei opened his eyes wide when he heard this:

"Who said that? Yu Chunsheng came here a few times, just for the official position. But this time he didn't find my father, so he had a long talk with the housekeeper in the study."

Xie Yuan glanced at Peng Wei, thinking that this guy really dared to say anything.

The Censor gave birth to a good son who betrayed his father...but this is naturally the best way.

He asked again:
"That's it? Master Peng probably has no idea what they were talking about."

"Humph, he wanted to be a county lieutenant before, and he came here a few times. Isn't it just these things? Well, but this time I saw a pharmacist coming in and out. Maybe he has a hidden illness, and you guys may not be able to cure it!
"Wait, why are you asking so many questions?"

Peng Wei just reacted now and said with a little caution.

Pharmacist? Hidden disease?
Xie Yuan suddenly thought of Yu Chunsheng's habit and felt a chill in his heart.

But no matter what, I won't ask my boss for help...

He replied casually:
"I also said that I would know in advance what the county lieutenant was worried about, and see if I could help him solve his worries. When he returns, he can take care of our escort company. I wonder what disease he has?"

Peng Wei understood what he heard and said:

"I see. You still have such thoughts."

He wanted to say that this was a small matter and he could handle it with just one word, but after looking at Xie Yuan twice, he felt dissatisfied and snorted:
"I don't know! Who knows what's wrong with him?"

Seeing that he couldn't ask Peng Wei any more questions, Xie Yuan smiled and stepped back.

The day of the competition is coming soon, and the situation of Yunzhao will be determined in one match.

At this critical juncture, what is Yu Chunsheng doing here?
In terms of strength competition, the King Kong Sect is definitely inferior to the Longteng Escort Agency, but Peng Jie still decisively challenged them to a competition.

The escort agency has been wondering what tricks they will use and what plans they have. In a normal competition, they are definitely not opponents, there must be a conspiracy!
Xie Yuan felt like he had caught something, and intuitively felt that Yu Chunsheng's arrival at the provincial capital was related to this, and he began to feel uneasy.

If it is not investigated, perhaps irreversible changes will occur in the arena.

While Xie Yuan was thinking, Situ Qin came over and said with a smile:
"Are you satisfied with the delicious food today?"

"Thanks to Miss Qin, I'll have a feast."

Xie Yuan came back to his senses and smiled slightly.

"That's good. The time is about right. You have successfully completed your dart!"

Situ Qin chuckled, took Xie Yuan and said goodbye to everyone, then got on the carriage with a group of people seeing them off and left the manor.

After Situ Qin left, the guests at the banquet gradually dispersed and said goodbye to Xue Yanwen one after another.

After everyone left, Xue Yanwen stood at the gate of the manor, looking at the direction they left, his face calm, as if he was thinking.

He waved his hand slightly, calling over a capable man in black:
"Go check what kind of experience that Xie Yuan has and where he comes from. How could he be so close to Qin Mei..."

The attendant bowed his head and responded with a gleam in his eyes:
"Your Highness, if you find out the truth, do you want to..."

He stretched out his hand to his neck, and his meaning was very obvious.

Xue Yanwen looked at the attendant, pondered for a moment, and fell into deep thought.

Then, he kicked the servant to the ground, and said angrily:

"I just can't figure it out, when will you guys be able to think of something other than killing people to silence them?

"The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves the ways of the world!
"Sister Qin is so optimistic about Xie Yuan. When has she ever been nice to other people? It's definitely not just her talent.

"You don't want to find out the truth and help me recruit talents. You kill this and do that all day long. Sooner or later, I will be killed by you!"

Xue Yanwen pointed at the attendants and spit everywhere, making the group of men in black lower their heads in silence.

They are innocent too, they are trained to do these jobs, you want us to think more? We can't think, we don't have the ability, you know.

Xue Yanwen was tired of complaining, so he straightened his clothes and hummed:

"I'm not one of those guys with wicked ambitions who wants to rely on Qin Mei to get to the top. It's good to be the prince of a county. Don't make trouble for me!"

Situ Qin's carriage squeaked its wheels as it moved forward.

In the carriage, Situ Qin leaned on the cushion and asked:
"Thank you, Chief Escort. Did you suffer any injustice today?"

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"No way! These admirers of yours are more cultured than I thought. It makes me feel uneasy about the salary I receive."

Most of the second generation didn't do anything to Xie Yuan except for some vague coldness and hostility, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Except for the obviously clueless Peng Wei...

Thinking of the information he revealed, Xie Yuan's eyes flashed.

Situ Qin covered her mouth and laughed:
"As expected of you, Chief Xie. After today, I believe those annoying guys will have to think twice before they can stop me."

Xie Yuan was a little hesitant when he heard this:
"Is that all? I'm afraid Xie's portion is not enough."

"That's enough. I've already said that in the future, if anyone invites me to a banquet with martial arts as an excuse, they must have the talent to break through the third level in at least half a year."

Situ Qin's eyes narrowed into crescents:

"If the excuse is romance, then it has to be as good-looking as Xie Biaotou."

"Uh... the word 'good-looking' doesn't suit me, but it suits Miss Qin very well."

"Each each other."

Situ Qin held her face on the table and looked at Xie Yuan openly, letting him lose again.

She smiled, took out an envelope from her lapel and handed it to Xie Yuan:

"Well, thank you for the good protection, Captain. I will pay you as you said. The recipe in it is very useful for nourishing Qi."

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up and he took the envelope.

A faint fragrance wafted from the envelope, and his nose twitched subconsciously.

Why does it smell so good?

Just as I was suspicious, I suddenly heard Situ Qin from the opposite side scream. I raised my eyes and found that her face was as red as a blooming peach blossom, and even the base of her neck was pink.

Xie Yuan, who had never seen Situ Qin in such a state, was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly remembered a sentence said by his predecessor.

The shyness of a girl is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

But what is she shy about?
Xie Yuan was somewhat puzzled and subconsciously looked at the letter paper. For some reason, he sniffed it again, and his movements were very obvious.

It smells really good, wait...

Where did she get it from?

At this moment, a voice full of shame and anger rang out:

"frivolous!"

An embroidered shoe was stretched out from the other side and kicked Xie Yuan hard.

Xie Yuan was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't think much about it just now. He just thought it smelled good.

Apparently, Situ Qin herself hadn't thought of this. It was only after she took out the letter paper and saw Xie Yuan's actions that she reacted.

Xie Yuan wanted to explain that it was an unintentional mistake, but looking at Situ Qin's flushed face and heaving chest, he simply shut his mouth.

You can't say it, the more you explain, the worse it gets.

He lowered his head, opened the envelope, and read it word by word without looking away. His seriousness was as if he was reading the legendary heavenly book.

Seeing Xie Yuan's honest appearance, Situ Qin's chest rose and fell violently for a while, and then slowly calmed down. She still blushed, but looking at Xie Yuan's appearance, she found it inexplicably funny and was no longer angry.

Situ Qin herself was also surprised. If anyone else dared to treat her so frivolously, she would have ordered Taibo to kill them without a second thought.
However, when it came to Xie Yuan, she didn't seem angry for some reason. Instead, she was mostly shy as she was just now.

Situ Qin was silent for a while, and said with a deliberately stern face:

"You've been reading for so long, do you understand? You can see many different things in a prescription."

"Forehead……"

Xie Yuan put down the letter and glanced at Situ Qin's face quietly. Seeing that her face was still red, but she was not furious, he felt a little relieved.

"I don't recognize all of these medicines...but the ones I do recognize are unusual."

"Of course. Without good medicine, how can good effects be achieved?"

Situ Qin said unhappily:
“If you can’t find it right away, you can ask the doctor to replace it with a slightly inferior herb of the same type and nature, but it will still be acceptable and the effect won’t be as good.

"Boil the medicine according to this prescription, one batch every ten days. In the early stage, it will help you improve your internal strength by 50%.

When Xie Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up.

Improve by 50%? What does that mean?
Although it is only the early stage...but Xie Yuan is obviously in the early stage now!

As soon as Situ Qin said this, Xie Yuan immediately made up his mind to collect all the medicinal herbs listed above.

The two returned to Situ Qin's house. Situ Qin still didn't look at him well and went to rest.

Xie Yuan gave a bitter smile, knowing that he had offended this young lady.

However, if it were any other girl, not slapping him twice on the spot would have been considered giving him face.

He went back to his room obediently, thinking:

"My injuries have almost healed, and I have seen the scenery of Yunzhou Prefecture, and I have gained a lot. The competition will be held soon, and it's time to go back.

"Just before we go back..."

Xie Yuan thought of what Peng Wei said and fell into deep thought.

Yu Chunsheng's official uniform must be stripped off, otherwise this enemy cannot be completely eliminated.

Yu Chunsheng got promoted through the connections of Peng Yue, the Chief Justice and the father of Peng Wei. If you want him to take off his official skin and remove his protection, you have to start from here;

He took advantage of this critical moment to ask for a meeting with Peng Yue. Although he did not meet him, it was most likely related to the death fight arena, and he had to find out, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

But how can we figure it out?

Xie Yuan thought for a long time and suddenly a plan came to his mind.

He hesitated for a moment. This was no small matter.

After thinking it over again and again, Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment:
"Try it first, then decide."

He stood up and walked into the yard, stopping and starting in the huge mansion, and found where the chief guard was.

Bang bang bang.

Xie Yuan knocked on the door, then took a step sideways and hid behind it.

"Which one?"

A question came from inside the door, but Xie Yuan did not answer.

There were footsteps, followed by a creaking sound, and a tall man opened the door. He looked around and saw no one.

"Hmm? Who? Who's knocking at the door?"

He was a little confused and asked in a deep voice.

As a martial artist who has practiced martial arts for three years, he would not easily suspect that there was something wrong with his senses.

However, the entrance is so small, and there is really no one there?
Xie Yuan stood in the gap between the door and the wall, quietly looking at the profile of the man in front of him.

From this angle, he could see it with his peripheral vision, and even when he turned his head left and right just now, he was almost looking at her head directly.

But this was just a wall, so he subconsciously ignored it and didn't notice anything.

Xie Yuan nodded slightly. As long as he dodged properly, even a martial artist with three levels of training wouldn't be able to detect him easily.

After the man returned to the room suspiciously and closed the door, Xie Yuan came out again and knocked on the door gently.

"Who?"

With a low cry, the man inside quickly ran to the door, opened it, and was stunned for a moment:
"Thank you, Escort Chief?"

Xie Yuan smiled and cupped his hands:

"Commander Hu, long time no see."

"Ah, long time no see, thank you, Chief Escort! Please come in."

Commander Hu was stunned for a moment, then enthusiastically invited Xie Yuan into the room and asked curiously:
"Captain Xie, how come you have time to come and sit with me? Um, were you the one knocking on the door before?"

Xie Yuan showed a surprised look:

"How long ago was it? I knocked on the door and Commander Hu came to open it."

The experiment was over, and Commander Hu had to keep this doubt in his heart.

"Well... Thank you, Chief Escort. Come, have some tea."

The two chatted for a while, and it was General Hu who asked first:

"Thank you for coming here, Chief Escort, but is there anything important you need my help with?"

"Haha, no, I'm just asking casually. I have something else I want to consult Commander Hu."

"Thank you for your courtesy, Captain. Please continue."

"Well, for example, the residence of the high-ranking officials in Yunzhou Prefecture - for example, the residence of the Chief Justice, what kind of security force is there?"

Commander Hu looked at Xie Yuan with some doubts, but did not ask any more questions:

“Well, it’s hard to say about the rest, but I’m familiar with the chief of the guards at Lord Peng Yue’s residence, so I know a thing or two.

"The head guard is the same as me, both are at level three. The ordinary guards are between level one and level two. These are regular guards.

"There are two guest officials in their mansion, one is Qi and Blood Transformation One and the other is Qi and Blood Transformation Two. They are usually responsible for teaching the people in the mansion martial arts and also have the responsibility of guarding safety."

Xie Yuan nodded and asked:

"What about Lord Peng himself?"

"He should have some cultivation, but it's not outstanding. He is at the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage."

In other words, there is no grandmaster.

Xie Yuan nodded slowly, chatted with Commander Hu for a while, trying his best to appear to be merely curious about such things, and then took his leave.

Commander Hu didn't say much. After sending Xie Yuan out the door, he stroked his chin and thought for a while, shook his head, and turned around to close the door.

Xie Yuan returned to the guest room, sat on a stool, and considered carefully:

"When the Heaven Hidden Technique is activated, even if Sanlian is right beside you, you won't be able to detect him unless you see him directly. I'm sure it's the same for the external practitioners.

"As for the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage, by analogy, as long as you keep a certain distance, you won't be detected directly by the Qi. There is no Grandmaster in their house..."

Xie Yuan weighed the options for a long time, the faces of Kong Chun, Tang Dawei and others flashed through his mind, and finally he struck with both palms:
"If you hesitate, you will lose! I have understood it clearly enough. If I miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to defeat Yu Chunsheng directly. And if I don't figure out what the King Kong Sect is up to, I might make another big mistake!

"As long as we don't run into a few people in the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage head-on, there won't be much of a problem. Even if the worst-case scenario happens... we can shamelessly bring out Situ Qin, and we should be able to save our lives."

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan no longer hesitated. He packed up his things, waited for the night to deepen, and then quietly went out.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Situ Qin standing in the yard, looking at him, smiling and saying:
"Thank you, Escort Captain. Where are you going so late?"
