Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 3 What's the use of crying? Can it make Hou Ye cry?
"So that's how it is. I also ask the little duke to express his condolences."

Beside the carriage, Zhang Xiu's two uncles suddenly changed their expressions slightly when they heard about Zhao Yu's encounter and the sudden change in the Hou Mansion. They frequently signaled to Zhang Xiu with their winks, but Zhang Xiu ignored them.

On the way to escort Zhao Yu back to An Guohou's mansion, the two pulled Zhang Xiu to his side with worried faces, and asked in a low voice:

"Youwei, it's obviously not a good thing to have the guts to take action against the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion. Let's take refuge in the past at this time, shall we..."

Although the words were not fully explained, Zhang Xiu could already hear what the two of them meant.

Obviously, the two of them did not have enough confidence in the current An Guohou Mansion.

"Uncles, please listen to my nephew."

Zhang Xiu glanced around and said in a low voice:
"As the saying goes, it is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Although the An Guohou's mansion suffered heavy losses, but the young man is here, the backbone of the mansion is there, and it is far from falling apart. My nephew saved the little man this time. If we share our affection, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Mansion of the Marquis of An Guo. As for voting for another master?"

Having said that, Zhang Xiu shook his head slightly.

"Those assassins escaped resolutely, but my nephew was not able to kill them all. There was always someone who could see his face clearly. We ruined the good deeds of the people behind the scenes, how could they come back without revenge? And the most dangerous thing is that The safest place is the place where we are. If we are in Anguohou's Mansion, at least the Mansion will support us. If we go elsewhere, who knows whether the other party will use the heads of your uncles and nephews as a stepping stone. "

There is another point that Zhang Xiu didn't say.

It was Zhang Ji's last wish to come to serve in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion by himself. Zhang Ji regarded himself as his own son, so he couldn't ignore his elder's last wish and only cared about his own life and death.

This is not the work of a man!
Of course, if the young master had no eyesight and couldn't recognize his own ability, then Zhang Xiu would naturally not hesitate for a moment when it was time to leave.

With a horse on his hip and a gun in his hand, where in this world can't he go?

After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, the two thought about it, and finally they had to nod in agreement.

When the morning light dawned, the group finally arrived at Qingzhou City, the capital of Taihe Mansion. An Guohou Mansion is located in the northeast corner of Qingzhou City.

"Master, you are finally back. By the way, where are the Hou and the others?"

The butler Fu Bo who opened the door looked at Zhao Yu and the strangers and asked in confusion.

He was wondering in his heart, it was just a youth tour, Lord Hou and his party should have returned to the Hou Mansion yesterday.

"Uncle Fu, father and the others..."

Speaking of what happened yesterday, Zhao Yu felt sad, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.

"This elder, it's better to let the young master enter the mansion first. If you have something to say, it's better to go in and talk about it."

Looking at the people looking around, Zhang Xiu cupped his hands.

"Okay, little Marquis, everyone, please come in."

Seemingly realizing that the matter was a bit serious, Butler Fu Bo turned aside and invited everyone into the mansion, and then asked his servants to close the gate of the Hou Mansion.

In the lobby, after listening to what Zhao Yu said, whether it was the housekeeper Fu Bo or all the servants, everyone looked sad.

The old Marquis Zhao Qin has a gentle and generous personality, and he is always kind to his servants, so the entire Marquis family respects him very much.

Now that they heard that the old Marquis was assassinated, everyone felt sad and shed tears.

"What's the use of crying? If you cry every day and every night, can you make the old Marquis cry and survive?"

Suddenly, a sneer came from the side of the lobby.

When everyone heard the words, they all stared angrily, but they saw a white-robed scholar sitting in a corner, holding a teacup, looking at everyone with a sneer.

"Uncle Wang Wen, since you have come to the Marquis Mansion to apply for a teaching position, how can you be disrespectful to the old Marquis?"

Fu Bo spoke angrily.

The scholar named Wang just shook his head and did not answer.

"Wang Wenbo? Could it be that you are Wang Pu and Wang Wenbo?"

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and asked:
"Young Master also knows Wang Pu's name?"

Seeing Zhao Yu say his name, Wang Pu was slightly stunned, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"To be honest, my father once said that he wanted to find a gentleman for me. He said that his surname was Wang, Pu and Wenbo. He was a man of great talent, so I must treat him as a teacher."

As Zhao Yu said this, he stood up and saluted Wang Pu.

"Young Master is in trouble."

Wang Pu quickly stood up and returned the courtesy.

"Mr. Wang must have great talent to be praised by my late father. In such a situation, I don't know why Mr. Wang taught me?"

Seeing Zhao Yu's respectful attitude, Wang Pu coughed lightly and glanced at everyone in the hall.

Zhao Yu waved his hand to the servants to leave and said:
"There are no outsiders here. As the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, Uncle Fu is a man who was trusted by his father; Zhang Youwei was not afraid of sharp swords and rescued me from danger. These two people are trustworthy. Whatever Mr. Wang said, no matter what Take it easy."

Zhang Xiu, who was sitting next to Zhao Yu, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said.

What I did last night finally paid off!

This young master directly regarded himself as a confidant.

In this way, in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, he would be much higher than his uncle Zhang Ji in terms of starting point.You know, Zhang Ji didn't break into the inner circle of An Guohou's mansion until he got the recommendation from An Guohou Zhao Qin to join the frontier army!

"Looking at the current situation, the first thing to do is to attend to the funeral; the second is to report to the court about the death of the old marquis, so that the court can issue an order for the young marquis to seize the title as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. People's hearts; in the end, it is to find out the murderer behind the murder of the old Marquis and others, and avenge the old Marquis!"

Wang Pu's voice could not stop echoing in the lobby.

Zhao Yu and the others couldn't help but nodded when they heard the words.

Although what Wang Pu said is simple and unpretentious, every sentence hits the point.

However, when Zhang Xiu heard Wang Pu's last sentence, his eyes moved slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Uncle Fu, send people to search for the remains of my parents outside the city. At the same time, find a coffin shop with good craftsmanship in Qingzhou City. The coffin and coffin should be made of high-quality wood. Money is not a problem. I must give my father a grand burial." Zhao Yu turned to Uncle Fu and said, "As for the court memorial, I still need Mr. Wang's help in drafting it."

As for the memorial table, as a traveler, he really didn't know how to draft it for a while.

"This is a matter for the lower class."

Wang Pu got up and answered.

Zhao Yu cast his eyes on Zhang Xiu on the other side, and said:

"Youwei, I know that you are superb in martial arts, so I leave all the protection of the palace to you. You don't have to worry about money and food. I only want you to train an elite force of a hundred people within three months. Is it possible?" "

Feeling Zhao Yu's gaze, Zhang Xiu felt a feeling in his heart that "a scholar will die for his confidant", and he immediately clasped his fists and said loudly:
"Young Master thinks highly of Youwei, Youwei should do his best!"

[Ding, Zhang Xiu’s loyalty +5, intimacy +200! 】

Looking across Zhang Xiu's slightly excited face, Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

"I wonder if you have any clues about the mastermind behind these assassins?"

What I just said is very important, but far less important than this!
