In the days that followed, Niu Youdao almost never went out. He paid close attention to the movements on the island and asked Gongsun Bu to report the surveillance situation every day.
A few days later, Linghu Qiu found the yard and shouted to Niu Youdao, who was lazing under the shade of a tree, "Brother."
Niu Youdao, who was flirting with Guan Fangyi, looked back and saw Guan Fangyi carrying his luggage. He stood up and asked, "Second brother, are you going out?"
Linghu Qiu whispered: "We have found the right manpower, but it is not appropriate to let too many people know about Wei Chu's attack. To skip the middleman, I have to go and negotiate with the other party in person to see their conditions and price. , if the negotiation is settled, I will contact you immediately, and you can figure out the money matter yourself."
Niu Youdao seemed to be in high spirits, "Okay! I wonder how long it will take for the second brother to leave?"
Linghu Qiu: "As little as two or three days, as many as seven or eight days."
After a brief greeting, Linghuqiu set off. Niu Youdao originally said he would give it off, but Linghuqiu said he didn't need to do it so as not to attract too much attention.
In this case, Niu Youdao was not polite to him and only sent him to the entrance of the small courtyard.
Watching him leave, Guan Fangyi, who was fanning herself, raised her round fan to cover her face. With an inadvertent movement, she tilted her head slightly and winked at a person not far away. Someone immediately followed Linghu quietly. Autumn leaves.
Back in the courtyard, Niu Youdao lay back on the recliner again.
Guan Fangyi also sat on a round stool nearby, "It seems that your wish has finally come true. He is finally going to attack Wei Chu instead."
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly: "What happened was a bit beyond my expectation. I didn't expect him to be able to hold on for so long. If he drags it on any longer, I won't be able to hold on."
The reason is very simple. There should be some action on the island soon. He can't stay in the capital forever. He has stayed here long enough. If he really refuses to leave, I'm afraid Haoyuntu will take action to deal with him again.
The two chatted for a while, and the man they were following came back. He glanced at Niu Youdao who was lying there lazily, as if he didn't know what to say.
Guan Fangyi said: "I'm already sleeping with my mother. There's nothing to avoid. Just tell me!"
Niu Youdao rolled his eyes when he heard this, and realized that this woman really enjoyed eating tender grass like an old cow, and she used this matter to tease him whenever she spoke.
The man reported: "My boss, Linghu Qiu left the city alone, and went out through the south gate. He changed his clothes slightly before leaving Fufang Garden."
"Yes!" Guan Fangyi nodded, indicating that she understood, and waved the fan in her hand.
The man was about to turn around and leave when Niu Youdao suddenly asked, "Linghuqiu left the city alone?"
The man looked at Guan Fangyi again and replied: "Yes!"
Niu Youdao sat up, "Where are Hongxiu and Hongfu? Didn't you leave with him?"
The man was stunned for a moment, "Aren't they two in Fufangyuan? The two of them sent Linghuqiu to the side door and stopped there, not leaving together!"
"Hongxiu and Hongfu didn't leave?" Niu Youdao stood up and said a little strangely: "These two women have always followed him inseparably."
There was a time difference, so Guan Fangyi thought about it and said, "Lao Qi, go to the yard over there and check to see if they are still there."
"Yes!" The man left.
He came back not long after and confirmed that Hong Xiu and Hong Fu were still there and had not left. Only Linghu Qiu left.
"What do you mean?" Niu Youdao muttered, and then said: "I'll go take a look." After that, he strode away.
"Why are you walking so fast? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Guan Fangyi shouted, twisting her soft waist to follow, shaking the fan in her hand unhurriedly.
As soon as the two people came out of the courtyard, five or six people immediately followed them.
Hongxiu and Hongfu were drying things in the yard. When they saw someone coming, they temporarily put down their things and came over to salute, "Master Tao, Sister Fang!"
Niu Youdao asked them directly: "Why didn't you go with your second brother?"
Hongxiu replied: "Sir, he said that this matter is confidential. The two twin sisters following us are too conspicuous and can easily attract attention. Also, the people you want to meet this time are very cautious, and you are not allowed to bring anyone with you. He himself also He deliberately concealed his identity and didn’t want the other party to know, so he didn’t take us away…”
After leaving here and returning to Guan Fangyi's yard, Niu Youdao looked back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking.
Guan Fangyi was lying lazily on the recliner, her body twisting and turning from time to time, waving the fan in her hand, "Don't sway around, it dazzles me."
Niu Youdao stopped and asked, "Why do I feel so strange about this?"
Guan Fangyi: "What they said is right. With a pair of twin sisters, anyone who cares will know it is Linghu Qiu at a glance. It is right to be safe."
Niu Youdao sat on the round stool, lying on the recliner, and said in her ear: "Then who do you think Linghu Qiu will find to attack Wei Chu?"
Guan Fangyi tilted her head and shouted! He blew on his face and said, "Didn't you say that he is from Xiaoyue Pavilion? Xiaoyue Pavilion is powerful and has many masters. If he wants to kill Wei Chu, he naturally goes to Xiaoyue Pavilion..." Speaking of this Dumbfounded, frowning.
Niu Youdao: "Now you should understand that there is something wrong with what those two women said? If I didn't know his details, I would really be fooled by him."
Guan Fangyi turned around and lay on her side, curled up her legs, and said face to face: "Perhaps they have found someone else, not someone from Xiaoyue Pavilion? In addition, Xiaoyue Pavilion has always been mysterious, and the identities of each other within the Pavilion are not revealed. It’s completely possible.”
"I hope so!" Niu Youdao said lightly, slowly sitting up straight, his eyes twinkling.
Two days later, in the early morning, there was a knock on the door outside Guan Fangyi's boudoir.
The maid's voice came, "Master"
Guan Fangyi, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, turned over and stretched.
Niu Youyou, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating under the couch, said: "Hey, don't sleep, I'm calling you!"
The situation of the two of them in the house had already been reversed, with Guan Fangyi sleeping on the couch and Niu Youdao sleeping on the ground.
There is no way, first of all, no one is thick-skinned, and secondly, he wants to ask for help from others. Guan Fangyi is acting like a liar, and Niu Youdao can't even think about getting out.
Guan Fangyi didn't even open her eyes, she grabbed a pillow and threw it at it with her arms, as if she didn't like him for being noisy.
Niu Youdao grabbed the pillow that was thrown at him.
Guan Fangyi, who was on the couch, spread out her limbs and asked, "What's the matter?"
The maid outside came back and said, "Master, Xu Laoliu said there is something urgent."
Guan Fangyi suddenly opened her eyes and seemed to wake up instantly. She glanced at the bright sky outside. She knew that Xu Laoliu would not disturb her at this time unless it was something really important.
He immediately sat up, put down his jade feet, put on his shoes, stood up, pulled on a coat, put it on, and went out with disheveled hair.
Niu Youdao threw the pillow back on the couch and stood up. He slowly walked out and looked at Guan Fangyi who met Xu Laoliu in the yard outside.
Guan Fangyi raised her hands to smooth back her long hair and asked, "What's so urgent?"
Xu Laoliu said in a deep voice: "Something happened to Old Thirteen. He took control of the sale, but there was something wrong with the item. The buyer took it away from him. The buyer has to answer now!"
Guan Fangyi's face sank, "Who asked him to take over the job in private? I've already washed my hands in a golden basin. Didn't I tell you to stop too?"
Xu Laoliu: "Sister, I asked, here's the thing. The commission given this time is very generous. Lao Shisan couldn't hold it back and wanted to make a profit on the way, but something happened."
The people in Fufangyuan, on the surface, call Guan Fangyi their boss, but in private they call her eldest sister!
Guan Fangyi looked angry, but now was not the time to be angry, anger could not solve the problem, so she asked: "Who is the buyer?"
Xu Laoliu: "I don't know. If the other party doesn't tell them, according to the rules, we won't ask."
Guan Fangyi: “Where is the seller?”
Xu Laoliu: "I haven't found it after searching all night. It must have run away."
Guan Fangyi: "Did the other party clear a path?"
Xu Laoliu: "There are only two conditions, either you lose something or you lose money!"
Guan Fangyi: "What is it and how much does it cost?"
Xu Laoliu: "Thirty talismans are worth three million gold coins!"
"So many?" Guan Fangyi was a little surprised, and finally understood why Lao Shisan was moved.
Xu Laoliu smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister has already washed her hands in a golden basin. If the amount hadn't been too high, we would have settled the matter ourselves without disturbing eldest sister!"
Guan Fangyi asked: "Where is the person detained?"
Xu Laoliu: "On a boat outside the city!"
"Inform Uncle Chen to prepare." Guan Fangyi dropped the words and turned back.
"Yes!" Xu Laoliu agreed, turned around and left.
Niu Youdao, who was standing under the eaves at the door, wanted to ask something, but Guan Fangyi had already passed him by with a gust of fragrant wind and returned to the house.
Niu Youdao had no choice but to follow in.
Guan Fangyi sat in front of the dressing table and quickly combed her hair and makeup. Niu Youdao approached and asked, "What happened?"
Guan Fangyi said while combing her hair: "The person below took over the job privately, and something happened to the job. The buyer has detained me and I have to account for it."
"Taking the job privately?" Niu Youdao chuckled, "It seems that the people around you don't really listen to your greetings!"
Guan Fangyi: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. Someone is probably setting this up. For such a big deal, how can the buyer and seller not verify the authenticity of the goods on the spot, and then what's the point of detaining my person afterwards? I guess it's Hearing that I’m done with it, some people think I’m a piece of fat and want to take a bite!”
Someone set a trap? Niu Youdao frowned and asked, "Are you coming for me?"
Guan Fangyi turned around and asked, "Can this kind of thing bite you?"
Niu Youdao was silent for a moment, he was just suspicious. In this case, any changes around him would make him doubt whether it was related to him.
Then asked: "What are you going to do with it?"
Guan Fangyi: "Since I've been bitten by someone, I naturally want to see if the other person's teeth are strong enough!"
Niu Youdao: "Don't act recklessly. Since the other party dares to trick him, he must be prepared."
Guan Fangyi: "Prepare? If I can't even get rid of the troublemakers in this business, how can I still be known as Qijing Matchmaker?"
Niu Youdao made a sound and said with interest: "Then why do you give in to me so easily?"
"Oh, you're so good after getting a bargain! In the entire Qi Kingdom, except for Hao Yuntu and the three major sects, you'd better ask how many of them dare to offend that old eunuch Bu Xun. Are you afraid of you? Just because you want to take advantage of me?" Guan Fangyi was indignant, and she got angry when she mentioned this.
