"Master Xu, Master Eight, I'll check the notes left behind by my granduncle later. Perhaps they can give us some clues.”
"If you want me to go with you next time, we'll have a better chance of winning.”
Er Yue Hong said in a deep voice. She frowned slightly and looked worriedly at Zhang Qishan who was lying on the bed.
Xu Nian nodded and left after asking for the girl's location.
"Greetings, Master Xu."
"Yes."
Xu Nian waved his hand and gestured for the servant girl to sit down.
Looking closely, he could see that the girl's complexion was much better than before. Her face was slightly ruddy and no longer lifeless and pale.
However, what Xu Nian sensed most clearly was that the Yin Qi in the girl's body had already disappeared by more than half.
"I occasionally cough now, and I feel cold all over in the middle of the night.”
"This is a normal phenomenon. After all, you have been invaded by Yin cold all year round. It won't be effective in a short period of time.”
Xu Nian paused and said,"Let me remind you, don't touch the things that Chen Pi brought back."”
"Especially the spirit herbs that he claimed to have gotten for you. You must not use them recklessly. Let Second Master see them first.”
"I will remember this in my heart. Thank you, Master Xu, for saving me.”
Although she did not know the purpose of Xu Nian's words, the girl was not stupid. She nodded obediently and bowed.
Xu Nian didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong before leaving.
Zhang Qishan, who was seriously injured, seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness. He temporarily rested for a few days and recuperated at home every day.
Xu Nian had not been idle for the past few days. He had walked to every corner of Chang Sha, and he had made his appearance in the territory of the Old Nine Sects.
Earlier, the people of the Nine Gates of Chang Sha had only heard of his name but never seen him.
Now, Xu Nian had used the most old-fashioned method to show his face and walk through these large and small bets.
The next morning, it happened to be drizzling.
Xu Nian held an umbrella and planned to go to the east of the city for breakfast. He passed by Zhang Qishan's house and sat down on the way.
"Lord Zeng, did Lord Eight ask you to send him to investigate the terrain?”
"That's true."
Zhang Qishan rubbed his eyebrows. Seeing that Xu Nian was fine, he said,"When I recover from my injuries in a few days, I'll definitely have to go to the mine again. At that time, I'll need Master Xu to accompany me!”
"No problem. I'll leave first. I'll be very annoyed if I don't have breakfast later.”
Xu Nian nodded, took a sip of tea, and left.
After a few steps, a man in a military uniform walked towards them. He was about the same age as Zhang Qishan. He had greasy hair and a pink face, and he looked arrogant.
Neither of them had any intention of making way.
Xu Nian was thinking about what he should eat. He walked forward without looking up. The soldier in front of him was obviously stunned. His expression was ugly. He had already cursed Zhang Qishan countless times in his heart.
In his opinion, he definitely thought that Xu Nian was deliberately found by Zhang Qishan to cause trouble.
It was Lu Jianxun, the intelligence officer sent to assist Zhang Qishan.
The two of them collided.
Lu Jianxun never dreamed that Xu Nian would be so strong!
Xu Nian's figure stood still, but Lu Jianxun was knocked to the ground with a dumbfounded expression.
"And you are? Don't you watch where you're going?"
Xu Nian frowned and glared at Lu Jianxun before leaving without looking back.
If he was a few minutes late and couldn't make it to the morning stall, Xu Nian would definitely come back to find trouble with Lu Jianxun.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
Other than going out every day, Xu Nian would also visit the Red Mansion and Zhang Mansion from time to time. Occasionally, he would encounter one or two secret agents from the Japanese. That was the best.
With Lu Jianxun's arrival, Zhang Qishan's position was somewhat threatened.
However, Lu Jianxun was still far from being able to easily extend his hand into the big circle of the Old Nine Sects.
"Lord Zeng, Lu Jianxun has been jumping very hard recently.”
"Let him continue dancing. He's still far from reaching into the Nine Gates with his current abilities!”
Zhang Qishan sneered.
As the leader of the Nine Old Factions, Zhang Qishan's prestige and status were irreplaceable. It would be extremely difficult for Lu Jianxun to replace him.
Now, with the addition of Xu Nian, a powerful figure with an unknown background, the entire Old Chang Sha was in a state of chaos. An unexpected accident could happen at any time.
"This idiot went straight to 9th master. I'm afraid there's a hole in his brain!”
Xu Nian muttered.
Xu Nian wasn't very good at chess, but he wasn't much weaker than Jie Jiuye in terms of scheming.
But then again, in that era, the Jie family, who was ranked ninth, could be said to be very scheming and sharp. It was unknown how many big and small situations were planned by them.
If the Xie family had not intervened, the Wu family would not have had any problems.
Xu Nian smiled and looked up at the door plate with the words " Comprehension Building " written on it.
