"No need." Chu Qiao smiled lightly and said, "I'll be fine after a short rest."

"Oh." Huan'er nodded and left the room. As soon as the door was closed, the child's face suddenly darkened.

Can't this bring him down

Then, you can only do it yourself. Chu Qiao bit her lip slowly and sat on the chair. It seemed that all plans needed to be redeployed.

The gate of Zhu Shun's courtyard, the chief steward of the outer mansion, was closed, but from a long distance, he could still hear the screams of a man killing a pig from time to time. The servants in the past lowered their eyes and looked down, no one dared to take a look at it presumptuously, but they couldn't hide their gloating expressions, they were even happier than getting their wages during the New Year.

Zhu Shun was lying on the bed with his butt naked, crying and howling, and constantly scolding the two servants who gave him medicine, as if they were the ones who beat him up like this.

"Your grandma! You want to hurt me to death!"

One of the boys was sweating, and he couldn't help but said while being careful: "Butler Zhu, you have to be patient, this flesh is stuck to the pants, you can't do it without tearing it off."

The room faced the water in the east, and there were a few sparse shrubs. A sharp dagger was inserted along the window, and the window latch was quietly opened while the man was screaming. Holding a self-made folding crossbow, Chu Qiao slowly stood up and pointed it at the man's head.

This kind of crossbow originated from South Africa and was passed down from a jungle tribe. It is exquisite in style, can be disassembled and folded, and can be fired accurately at close range without making a sound. When Chu Qiao was on a lurking mission abroad, she once used this crossbow to infiltrate a heavily guarded private party and finally killed the target person. This kind of crossbow is not only easy to carry, but also extremely lethal. A skilled hunter can rely on this kind of crossbow to kill an adult tiger, which shows its amazing lethality. In the era of cold weapons, this weapon was tailor-made for assassins. Fortunately, Zhu Shun was about to become the first person to die under this super weapon that crossed eras and regions.

At this moment, a man ran in in a panic and shouted loudly: "Steward Zhu, Steward Zhu!"

"What's it called?" Zhu Shun yelled, "Is it called mourning? I'm not dead yet!"

The servant hurriedly said: "Housekeeper Zhu, someone from the other courtyard is here. The second old man asked you, why hasn't the little slave girl who was promised to be sent away not been sent yet?"

Zhu Shun was taken aback, and immediately jumped up, but forgot about his butt that had been beaten to pieces, and fell back on the bed with a puff, howling like ghosts and wolves. He yelled and said: "I'm afraid that girl will die. The fourth young master will not let her go. I have prepared ten young slaves that I just bought in Xiyueyuan. You can take someone to pick them up."

"Yes, I understand." The man agreed, turned around and ran out.

Zhu Shun shouted: "Remember to tell the second old man that I am seriously ill, and I will go to greet him when I recover."

The crossbow outside the window was gradually lowered, Chu Qiao rolled her eyes, and another idea came to her mind.

Perhaps, there is another way to get rid of this person, clean and clean without blood on his hands.

As soon as the dungeon of Xi Le Yuan was opened, an unpleasant stench came over the face. The steward of the other courtyard who came to pick him up frowned, pinched his nose and said, "What are these things? Can such things be dedicated to the old man?"

The previous servant hurriedly nodded and bowed his head and said: "Recently slaves are not easy to buy. When they heard that they were sold to our Zhuge Mansion, they tried their best to raise the price. It is our boss who worked hard to find these few. You Don't worry, after cleaning up, everyone is absolutely beauties, the old man must be delighted to see it."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense and pull it out."

The children inside have not seen the sun for a long time, and they have been locked inside since they were bought. Everyone is unkempt, with panicked faces, covering their eyes, and they are close together like a group of puppies.

The steward of the other hospital took a look, then frowned and said, "Didn't you say there were only ten? Why are there eleven?"

"Really?" The servant counted them quickly, and then said, "Perhaps Steward Zhu made a mistake. I'll go back and ask."

"Come on, don't ask, I don't have that spare time, take it away!"

Several strong men with Kongwu stepped forward, pushed and shoved a child, and shouted angrily: "All follow!"

As soon as the children were frightened, someone suddenly cried softly.

"Anyone who dares to cry again will be chopped off with a knife! It's against you!" the servant dog yelled arrogantly, holding a child who looked a little clean among them while talking.

At this moment, the child suddenly turned around and bit the man's wrist fiercely. The man let go with a scream, and the child ran away quickly like a rabbit.

"Ah! One ran away! Chase, catch me!"

When the servants of Zhuge Mansion saw the direction the child was running, they were shocked and turned pale. They stopped the steward of the other courtyard and shouted: "Steward Zhu, that's the fourth young master's Qingshan courtyard over there, you can't go there!"

"It's just to catch a slave, why not go there?" Steward Zhu yelled angrily, pushed the servant's hand away, and chased after the child in the direction where the child was fleeing.

The gate of Qingshan Courtyard was kicked open, and the old master Zhuge's subordinates rushed into the courtyard like wolves and tigers. Huan'er and other young maids were squatting on the porch to wipe vases, and they were startled when they heard the sound.

Zhuge Yue had just been called by Zhuge Huai to the Hongshan Courtyard, Zhu Cheng and several other servants and guards were also absent. Zhuge Yue was so quiet, there weren't many people in the courtyard, and at this moment, only these few servant girls were left.

Huan'er was considered to be the older maidservant, she stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Who are you? Why are you so bold, don't you know that this is the fourth young master's yard?"

"Girl, we are here to catch escaped slaves, please forgive me if I offend you."

"How did the slaves come to us?" Huan'er heard the other party's tone was polite, and she became more courageous, and said confidently, "Which courtyard are you slaves, why don't you have any rules?"

"We belong to the second old master of the outer mansion. If the girl wants to file a complaint, just go to the fourth young master. We will inform the old master later."

Upon hearing the name of the second old master, Huan'er immediately fell silent, and said with little confidence: "We didn't see any slaves, you guys...don't mess around."

A servant stepped forward and said, "That's the house. I saw her get in through the window with my own eyes."

Huan'er was startled, and hurriedly said: "That is the room of the young master's personal maid, you are not allowed to go in."

Steward Zhu glanced at Huan'er suspiciously, and said in a deep voice, "Go in and arrest people."

"No!" Just as Huan'er was about to step forward, she was grabbed tightly by a big man, watching everyone rush in like wolves.

"I wish the steward, it's her!"

"Xing'er!" Huan'er yelled, turned her head and shouted loudly, "You have arrested the wrong person, this is the maid from our yard, not the slave you are looking for!"

Steward Zhu gave Huan'er a cold look, and said, "I've seen a lot of little slaves like you who protect each other. I advise you to be honest, otherwise it won't be good for you if things get agitated." The servant took Chu Qiao out of the Castle Peak Courtyard.

"Xing'er!" Huan'er yelled, caught a glimpse of the last member of the family of Zhuge Mansion, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Aren't you a servant of the housekeeper Zhu Shun? You brought them here? Hurry up!" Xing'er is coming back!"

The servant was confused, and he also watched the little slave turn over and jump into the room with his own eyes. He didn't expect that the maid of Qingshanyuan would know her well. I’m going to send it to the old lady’s slave girl, no matter how busy you are, I’ll send you too.”

After a while, people went to the empty room, Huan'er stood there dumbfounded, and the little maids stood timidly behind, none of them dared to come forward.

"By the way, go find the Fourth Young Master!" Huan'er wiped away tears, and quickly ran towards the Red Mountain Courtyard.

Zhuge Yue was discussing matters in Zhuge Huai's study, when suddenly he heard Zhu Cheng say outside: "Fourth young master, Huan'er just came to report that he has something important to see you."

Zhuge Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything that you can't talk about when you go back? The more you have no rules, let her go back and wait."

There was a dead silence outside the door, but after a while, Zhu Cheng knocked on the door again and said, "Fourth young master, it's...it's Xing'er, who was taken away by Zhu Shun's housekeeper."

With a bang, the door was pulled open, and Zhuge Yue asked coldly, "What did you say?"

Zhu Cheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He glanced at Zhuge Huai who was full of suspicion inside, licked his lips, and said slowly: "The people in the housekeeper Zhu said that one of their slaves escaped, but they insisted that Miss Xing'er was the escaped slave. People took it away from Qingshanyuan."

"Take it away? Where to take it?"

"Say yes, say it's sent to the other courtyard of the second old master."

For a moment, Zhuge Yue's face was as ugly as it could be.

"Perhaps he caught the wrong person. Ever since Zhu Shun was injured, his actions have become more and more inappropriate." Zhuge Huai stepped forward, patted Zhuge Yue's shoulder, and said with a light smile, "Fourth brother, Since it’s sent to the second master’s house, let’s forget about it, a servant girl, and later the elder brother will pick a few clever ones and send them to your yard as compensation, and I promise not to let you suffer.”

"How long has it been?" Zhuge Yue said in a low voice as if he hadn't heard Zhuge Huai's words.

"Let's go... It's been less than half an hour."

Zhuge Yue pushed open the door without saying a word, and strode out. Zhu Cheng and the servants of Qingshan Courtyard had expected this to happen, and all followed behind.

Just when Zhuge Yue learned that Chu Qiao was taken away by the old master Zhuge, Wei Guang personally handed a golden arrow to Wei Shuye's hand in Wei's ancestral hall. The old man looked solemn and said in a low voice, "Ye'er, don't let uncle down, and don't let the ancestors of the Wei family down."

Wei Shuye raised his hands horizontally, looking at the golden arrow, with a fierce sharpness rolling in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but like a fish out of water, he just moved and couldn't utter a word.

"Ye'er, the ancestors of the Wei family are watching you, and your father is also watching you, what should you do, you can do it yourself."

Wei Shuye frowned, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Who?"

Wei Guang smiled faintly, dipped his fingers into the teacup, and slowly wrote a word on the incense stand.

Wei Shuye's eyes widened suddenly, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked at the elderly man in disbelief, as if he was looking for an answer.
