Chapter 39 The righteous Huo Xi
After the negotiation was completed, in order to show his sincerity, Zhao Ping asked his servants to prepare the contract, and at the same time brought 1000 yuan of spiritual stones and handed them to Lin Huaian. This was one year's rent, and he paid it first.

1000 yuan of spirit stone is the annual output of a medium-sized spirit stone mine. This value can make countless people jealous and make countless people take risks.

After signing the contract, Zhao Ping's face was still a little nervous. Grain and grass were too important to Mengzhou, and there was no chance of any accidents. After all, there was not much grain left in Mengzhou, and the various states were stuck with grain and grass. , the amount of transportation is controlled within a certain range, just to force the cavalry master to reduce his troops. The pressure of one hundred thousand cavalry on them is too great.

Lin Huaian glanced at Zhao Ping who looked nervous, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I know you are still a little worried. Let me see it this way. I have a nephew named Qin Tian who is impatient and righteous. How about you two becoming sworn brothers? If you become brothers with different surnames, then there will naturally be a bond between you, and I think you will feel at ease a lot."

When Zhao Ping heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Qin Tian knows that his servants have said that the current head of the Qin family is a little baby. At his age, he can be his father, so he still has a sworn sworn relationship?

He resisted when he heard this at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Mr. Lin said made some sense. Qin Tian was his nephew. If he and Qin Tian were sworn sworn brothers, then they would naturally be close. After a while, the two sides can let down their guard against each other. Although it doesn't sound good in name, it doesn't matter in order to safely transport grain and grass to Mengzhou.

Of course, it would definitely be best if he could sworn sworn brothers directly to Lin Huaian, but from the conversation just now, it can be seen that this man is arrogant at heart and may not look down on him.

Zhao Ping thought for a long time and then said, "Okay, since Mr. Lin said so, let's do it this way."

Lin Huaian nodded and immediately sent people to the Qin Mansion next door to call Qin Tian and prepare an incense burner and a live chicken.

Soon, Qin Tian came with a confused look on his face. He had already fallen asleep, but he was woken up by someone saying that the uncle wanted to see him for something, so he rushed over immediately.

But when he saw the incense burner and the live chicken in the hands of the servant, he understood what the uncle was calling him for...

When they arrived at Taibai Tower, they set up the incense burner. Qin Tian and Zhao Ping knew how to kneel down and recite the oath together, and then cut off the chicken head to formally swore their vows.

Lin Huaian also naturally asked people to prepare black and white writing in advance and asked the two of them to sign and pledge...

Zhao Ping didn't understand why he had to sign and sign the sworn vows, but he didn't bother to care about these details, so he just did it one by one.

After finishing everything, Qin Tian skillfully called him brother, and Zhao Ping smiled and called him brother. He also said that he had taken advantage of him. He was already old and had become a brother...

The Dongjiang Wharf matter was settled, and Qin Tian had another big brother on his head. Both parties were happy and said goodbye.

After the sworn vows, Zhao Ping felt much relieved. Although he knew it was due to his own psychology, he just felt more comfortable.

On the other side, Lin Huaian and Qin Tian returned to their house one after another. Lin Huaian specially had a bronze box made, which was impervious to water and fire, and was specially used to place these sworn contracts written in black and white...

After everything was done, a servant came to tell him that the young lady had specially prepared dinner for the uncle to come back.

Qin Hua had fallen asleep. She was now in charge of all the affairs of the Qin family. She was very tired after a busy day. After waiting for Lin Huaian for half the night, she lay on the table and fell asleep. Later, with the help of the maids, she returned to the room. The food prepared on the table was heated over and over again. She didn't know when her uncle would come back, so every time she waited for the food to reach a certain temperature, she would ask her servants to heat it, so that the uncle could cook it first when he came back. It's time for dinner.Lin Huaian sat at the table and ate silently, feeling how delicious it was...

……

In Chaotian Palace, the palace owner Yang Jingzheng and the two guardians were discussing matters within the sect.

At this time, a disciple reported that Deacon Huo was back, and Yang Jing quickly asked someone to call Huo Xi.

After receiving the message, Huo Xi shook his short and fat body and walked in slightly. His expression was serious and a little depressed. There was still mist in his eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged.

There was also an old man in charge of registration who came in with Huo Xi. This person was in charge of registering the secret books of exercises, such as the deacon, hall master, guardian, and so on. Every time he came back, he had to check the registration and report. Huo Xi actually said that his Xuanbu hand had been robbed.

The old man had been in Chaotian Palace for so long, and it had been a long time since he heard any disciples say that their skills had been robbed, so he hurried over to report.

After Yang Jing learned about it, he immediately looked at Huo Xi with a sullen face: "What's going on?"

Huo Xi had long thought of an excuse in his heart, but he still had a sad face on his face, and said: "It's useless for me to go back to the Palace Master, Xuanbu's hand was snatched away by the people from Huayuelou..."

Yang Jing frowned: "Huayuelou is one of the three major sects in Jiangzhou along with us. They still know some rules. Even if there are some fights on weekdays, they will still abide by these rules."

After hearing this, Huo Xi immediately said anxiously: "Palace Master, I thought so at first, but this time those girls in Huayue Tower didn't know what was going on. They went crazy and sent assassins in Muyang County to kill me. It didn't succeed, and then he shot again when I was passing by Wangjiangshan. I managed to save my life, but Xuanbu's hand unfortunately slipped during the confrontation with the killer, and was finally snatched away by the people from Huayuelou."

"If the palace master doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Muyang County to inquire. Many people saw it at that time. In full view of the public, the killer wanted to assassinate me. Many eyes saw it at that time!"

Yang Jing stared at Huo Xi's eyes for a long time. In the end, he couldn't see the slightest hint of humility, so he asked: "When you were about to arrive at Wangjiangshan, why didn't you just go back to the palace? Instead, you sent someone to inform you later. Will you return to the palace on your own later?"

Huo Xi looked calm: "Palace Master, I was sitting in the carriage at that time and felt something strange happening around me, so I guessed that someone was ambushing me, but I couldn't be sure that it was someone from Huayue Tower, because that road passed through my Chaotian Palace. It was the only way to go, so I started to investigate in case there were thieves who could do harm to our Chaotian Palace. The disciple driving the car at that time was weak in cultivation. I didn’t want him to be accidentally injured by then, so I made an excuse to let him return to the palace first. "

"Unexpectedly, the killer who was lying in ambush thought that I was asking someone to go back and bring reinforcements, so he wanted to kill the disciple. I tried my best to stop him, but unfortunately my skills were not as good as others. Fortunately, I was blessed with great luck, and I was lucky enough to escape in the end, but... I lost my Xuanbu hand..."

Yang Jing nodded, but still didn't fully believe it, and said: "Then how are you sure you are from Huayue Tower? They can't be stupid enough to do it themselves."

When Huo Xi heard this, his fat face turned red, and then he hesitated and said: "Master, I am ashamed to say that, once when I went out to practice, I met an ordinary disciple of Huayuelou, and I didn't know that she was Huayue The person in Yuelou, she didn't know my identity, and later they got along with each other, and they got together. Finally, after the two parties knew each other's identity, they stopped communicating with each other forever.

Because I have been with her for a while, I know that Huayuelou disciples all have a special smell of powder. I smelled that fragrance at that time, so I must be from Huayuelou, even if they are covered up. use. "
