Farming and reading family

Tao Zhiyu felt proud when he heard this. It seemed that his guess was correct. Xu Boyan just wanted to please their Tao family through this matter.

Manager Lu on the side was alarmed and felt that Xu Boyan's smile was very dangerous.

Tao Zhiyu smiled and nodded: "With my recommendation, Lord Xu will surely rise to prominence and won't stay in this small place for too long."

Xu Boyan nodded: "Give me a day, I will find out before dark."

"Good." Tao Zhiyu was proud.

After seeing Tao Zhiyu and the others off, Xu Boyan stood silently in front of the window, holding his belt.

"Master?" Bai Hao called out uncertainly.

"Zhu Mo." Xu Boyan seemed to have made a great decision all of a sudden.

"Here." Zhu Mo clasped his fists.

"Are you sure you can kill the guard behind them?" Xu Boyan looked at Zhu Mo.

Zhu Mo was silent for a moment: "It's a bit difficult."

Xu Boyan also found it a bit difficult. He turned to the desk and quickly wrote a letter, put it in the box and handed it to Zhu Mo: "Now go find Gao and give her the letter."

Zhu Mo took the letter, nodded and left.

Gao E's mouth twitched after reading Xu Boyan's letter. She blew on the fire stick and burned it: "Qing Luo."

Lu Qingluo came over with a handful of mint, his expression a little distorted.

"You and Zhu Mo go out for a while and listen to Lord Xu." Gao E ordered.

"Why should I listen to him?" Lu Qingluo was dissatisfied.

"There's good news." Gao E said seriously.

"Okay." Lu Qingluo said that as long as there is good news, it will be fine.

Zhu Mo wanted to laugh when he saw Lu Qingluo like this. He didn't know whether Lu Qingluo was simple-minded or cruel.

The two men rode away on horseback, and Gao E smiled.

She thought that if she really couldn't resolve the issue of the Tao family buying Ghost Crying Mountain, then she would deal with the person who came to buy the mountain.

As a result, Xu Boyan actually wanted to get rid of the person before her, so she could only be considered helping.

I don’t know who came from the Tao family and how he offended Xu Boyan, so that the patient Xu Boyan wanted to kill him.

In fact, it’s not that I offended Xu Boyan in any way, it’s just that Xu Boyan couldn’t help it.

Originally, as long as Tao Zhiyu didn't hang around in front of Xu Boyan, Xu Boyan didn't want to cause trouble at this time.

But not only did Tao Zhiyu hang around in front of Xu Boyan, he was also full of superiority because of the Tao family, which made Xu Boyan unable to tolerate it.

After Zhu Mo came back, Xu Boyan looked at the sun and went to talk to Tao Zhiyu about the strange stone in person.

"That place is close to the border between He County and Qinzhou City. I was walking towards Qinzhou City, so I didn't notice it." Xu Boyan said with some shame.

Tao Zhiyu lowered his eyes and said, "Then do you know a woman named Gao E? I heard that she has a very good relationship with my sister."

"I have heard of it, but I never care about women's affairs." Xu Boyan did not deny it. "It's getting late now. I will prepare and go with Master Tao tomorrow."

"That's not necessary." Tao Zhiyu refused directly. "I'm already very grateful that you can help me find it, Mr. Xu."

"No matter what, it's still within the boundaries of He County, so my words will be more effective," Xu Boyan insisted.

"Our Tao family has its own rules, so Lord Xu doesn't need to interfere." Tao Zhiyu said firmly.

"So..." Xu Boyan was embarrassed. "It's not good to let Master Tao break the rules."

He knew that the Tao family had its own rules, which was not to get too close to local officials.

It was just to avoid being accused of collusion between officials and businessmen, but the Tao family had always used money to control many literati, naturally including those who had entered official careers.

Tao Zhiyu thinks Xu Boyan is very sensible.

As soon as Xu Boyan left, Tao Zhiyu asked Manager Lu and Xiao Xiang to set off.

"It will be dark if we set out at this time." Manager Lu was a little worried, after all, they were walking at night in an unfamiliar place.

"We have been delayed here for three or four days. If we delay any longer, my father will think that I am incompetent." Tao Zhiyu said as he walked out.

Manager Lu and Xiao Xiang did not dare to disobey and had to follow their master out.

Lu Hao saw someone leaving at the door and tried to follow them, but was glared at by Xiao Xiang.

"Sir, there are many fun places in He County. I will take you to visit them. It only costs 200 coins a day." Lu Hao immediately went over to please him.

Tao Zhiyu glanced at Lu Hao and got into the carriage without paying any attention to him.

Xiao Xiang also relaxed his vigilance, thinking that they were just hangers-on who were taking advantage of them.

When the group left, Lu Hao frowned. Driving out at this time, were they going to leave the city?

The three of them had just driven out of the city when it was time to close the city gate. Xu Boyan took Zhu Mo and Lu Qingluo to the roadside behind the grass and trees, watching the carriage leave the city and head towards Qinzhou City.

Lu Qingluo glanced at Xu Boyan unconsciously. He didn't know how Xu Boyan was sure that these three people would leave the city. He seemed smarter than Gao E.

"Aren't we leaving yet?" Lu Qingluo was puzzled.

Xu Boyan looked at the sky and said, "Wait until it gets dark."

The three of them were riding horses, which was much faster than a carriage.

Moreover, the carriages would move slower after dark, and they could easily catch up with them.

There was a night pearl hanging in the carriage as it shuttled through the night. The curtains shook irregularly with the shaking of the carriage, revealing a little light, which gave people a very strange feeling when viewed from a distance.

"Master is too anxious. It would be bad if he missed the place at night." Manager Lu was still very worried.

"I calculated the time. At this speed, we won't get there until dawn." Tao Zhiyu said as he pulled back the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of horse hooves, and Tao Zhiyu immediately pressed down the quilt and became alert.

Manager Lu also quickly took out the dagger he carried with him.

His extensive knowledge and experience is the result of his extensive travels, where he has naturally encountered many things.

Xiao Xiang, who was driving the carriage in front, was pulling the reins with one hand and holding his sword with the other.

Xu Boyan and his men caught up with Tao Zhiyu's carriage, and after passing it, they reined in their horses and blocked the way in front.

Xiao Xiang had no choice but to rein in his horse: "This is just a carriage from the Tao family in Dancheng. May I ask your name, sir?"

They relied on this sentence to get through all this time. Those who knew the Tao family in Dancheng would give them some face.

"Xu Boyan." Xu Boyan said directly.

"Master Xu?" Tao Zhiyu lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. It was pitch dark outside, so he couldn't see the man's face clearly. "Master Xu, what urgent matter has come to you in the middle of the night?"

"Charge some interest." Xu Boyan said calmly.

Tao Zhiyu frowned: "What does this mean, Master Xu?"

Xu Boyan did not answer, but drew his Zhu Mo sword and charged forward.

Xiao Xiang's speed was not slow either. With a flash of cold light, the two swords collided with each other, making a harsh sound.

"Young master, hurry up and go." Manager Lu said as he cut the rope for the carriage and let Tao Zhiyu ride away on horseback.

Tao Zhiyu is not stupid. If Xu Boyan could come to hunt him down, then the information he had been told before must have been false, just to trick him into leaving the city and walking at night.

"Xu Boyan, since you know our Tao family, you should know that you will not survive if you kill me." Tao Zhiyu threatened.
