After a long period of time, Liu Piaopiao, the petite and graceful woman, slowly opened her rose-like lips and softly called the shy little maid to come and serve her.

A blush appeared on the cheeks of the little maid, and she hurried over and started dressing Ximen Qing and Liu Piaopiao.

The three of them spent a lot of effort to restore the hall to its original appearance.

However, the spring feeling that filled the house was still strong, making it impossible to feel the slightest chill in this cold winter day.

Liu Piaopiao instructed the maid to rearrange the table of sumptuous wine and food. She then sat next to Ximen Qing, humming the seasonal tunes softly, saying thoughtful words, and tasted the wine and food together with Ximen Qing.

Unconsciously, the moonlight fell like flowing water, and the night had darkened.

Ximen Qing was full of wine and food and planned to take a rest. The little maid had already prepared the fragrant bathing soup.

After bathing, my skin is as smooth and tender as gelatin. The warm curtain is full of spring. The night is as cool as water. I gently pick up the colorful flute with my fingertips and blow out the melodious melody. Whose jade flute is flying quietly in the night? ?

The next day, the sun was already high in the sky, and Ximen Qing woke up from his dream. The sun was three high and he felt physically and mentally comfortable.

Liu Piaopiao then went to prepare a delicious breakfast and waited for him gently on the side.

Ximen Qing remembered his date with Lu Xiaoyi and that Brother Qiao Yun should also be waiting at the house, so he had to ask Liu Piaopiao and the maid to help him get dressed and wash up, and reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​continuing to play with Liu Piaopiao.

Alas, I get up early, go to bed late, and keep busy. I, a high-ranking official from Ximen, have such a bad fate!

………

After hastily devouring breakfast, Ximen Qing and Liu Piaopiao hurriedly said goodbye and embarked on the road back to their mansion.

The concierge servant of the mansion told him that Lu Xiaoyi and Brother Qiao Yun were already waiting in the side hall.

Although Yanggu County is small, the news of Wu Dalang's death yesterday has undoubtedly spread throughout the city. The two of them's early visit undoubtedly showed that they have made a smart choice and sided with Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing was secretly happy and satisfied with the surrender of Lu Xiaoyi and Brother Qiao Yun.

He secretly thought to himself that he needed reliable helpers after traveling here, and these two people were undoubtedly confidants who could be well cultivated.

Ximen Qing decided to go to the side hall to meet Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun in person, and introduced them to the inner study to discuss the next plan of action.

The three of them sat down and a servant served them fragrant tea. Ximen Qing's courtesy made Lu Xiaoyi and Brother Qiao Yun secretly happy. Without any extra courtesy, they directly expressed their feelings to Ximen Qing and expressed their willingness to follow Ximen Qing wholeheartedly and obey his orders.

Lu Xiaoyi turned to Brother Qiao Yun and said in a joking tone:"Brother Yun, you are waiting here so early, waiting for the arrival of Ximen officials. It seems that you have a plan in mind. Why don't you talk about it first? What's your reason for coming?"

Brother Qiao Yun nodded to Lu Xiaoyi to express his gratitude, then turned to Ximen Qing and asked with a smile on his face:"The high official summoned the lowly man here, what are your orders? The lowly man is willing to do something for the big man. Officials do the work of dogs and horses!"

A smile flashed in Ximen Qing's eyes, but he cursed in his mouth:"You kid, what are you talking nonsense? I mentioned to your father yesterday that I want to take care of you and provide you with a good life. Your father. How could I let you do those dangerous things?

Brother Yun, my manor needs to recruit troops and expand its manpower. Now there is a person who can only be hired by going out in person. Are you willing to make this trip for me?"Is that so?"

Brother Qiao Yun said with a firm expression, clasping his fists:"A high official has a destiny, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, I am willing to move forward bravely. I wonder where the person the high official wants to invite is? I must hurry up and hurry up. Go back as soon as possible, and you will never delay the important affairs of the high officials!" Ximen Qing smiled contemptuously and retorted:"Brother Yun, don't talk nonsense about mountains of swords and seas of fire, it's just child's play! Just listen to me. , I want you to go to Wugang Town, Jizhou, on the border of Liao State, north of Cangzhou, Hebei, to find a hero named Tang Long.

This man has a nickname in the world of"Golden Leopard", and now he makes a living by blacksmithing in the local area.

He is currently in dire straits. Bring more money and go as soon as possible. Be sure to invite this person. As for your father, don’t worry, I will send someone to take good care of him." Although Brother Qiao Yun said nothing to Ximen Qing. He was confused when he was asked to go to the Liao Kingdom to find a blacksmith, but he believed that Ximen Qing must have his reasons, and he just had to do his best to complete the task.

Therefore, Brother Qiao Yun accepted the task, and Ximen Qing immediately arranged for the steward at home to take him to get the silver coins, and urged him to set off immediately.

However, Brother Qiao Yun didn't know that Ximen Qing's move was really helpless.

Because in the Shandong and Hebei areas, although there are some wandering heroes, the only one who Ximen Qing knows exactly where is the"Golden Leopard" Tang Long.

Once the target was determined, Ximen Qing immediately sent Brother Qiao Yun to go ahead and invite Tang Long.

And Brother Qiao Yun is so smart that it should be easy to convince Tang Long.
