Variables

Lu Gaosheng sat in the study, and these two days he had not left here for half a step, receiving information from all parties and making analysis and judgments.

There was a letter from Wu Qixue College of Martial Arts on the corner of his desk.

Judging from the torn mouth of the letter, Lu Gaosheng must have read Wu Qixue's letter, but for that former classmate, Lu Gaosheng threw it aside after reading the letter, which shows that he was very disdainful of Wu Qixue.

However, from Wu Qixue's personality, strategy, and the fact that he is now rushing to Tian Ge Prefecture,

Lu Gaosheng thought that the increasing unrest among the people of Hanwu Commandery, and even the hidden riots, were likely to be related to Wu Qixue, and Wu Qixue should have also seen some of the disputes behind the chaos in the north.

Otherwise, what is he doing in Tian Ge Prefecture?

However...

"Brother Qixue, haven't you read the allusion of the mantis trying to stop the chariot?" He sneered coldly, and then Lu Gaosheng ignored Wu Qixue's affairs.

What Lu Gaosheng was more concerned about now was actually the 30,000 shi of grain. He had been headache for two days.

Although as the intelligence collection became more and more adequate, Lu Gaosheng understood that without Jin Wange's assistance, it would be too difficult and risky for him to seize the 30,000 shi of grain.

Especially now, he really lacks top masters, otherwise it would be almost impossible to take the grain from Xu Guo's hands.

If I were the prefect now, that would be great.

Lu Gaosheng had to sigh like this.

He had actually sprouted the idea of retreat, secretly thinking that the matter of overthrowing Song Yan's world was indeed not something he could do now.

Lu Gaosheng looked at the desk in front of him involuntarily.

Li Xing had previously placed on the table an intelligence report on some unnamed and unknown underworld figures involved in the southern Jianghu underworld in the past year.

There were many events recorded in the information, but in fact, there were only three or five incidents that really involved top nameless and unknown masters in the Jianghu underworld within a year.

Harassing the army, massacres, Jianghu revenge, and so on...

Of course, as one of the most sensational gang revenge cases in southern China in the past year, the massacre of the second-ranked killer on the Jianghu List, one of the strongest blade masters under the Heavenly Stage - Heishan Ke, and his nine archers, by a mysterious person in Xiaoyun County, was naturally listed.

Looking at the records of these events.

Recalling the weirdness and extraordinary nature of Zhang San.

Lu Gaosheng couldn't help thinking that perhaps he was someone who could take advantage of. But the problem was also obvious.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of making Zhang San obey orders seemed very low, and after all, the 'final step' test had not been done yet, so it could not be determined whether he was really a master of that level.

After thinking twice.

Let it go.

This time I will spare Song Yan's world first, and then pretend with him for a few more years. Anyway, he still knows nothing about Bai Fang’s affairs for the time being.

Lu Gaosheng thought this way, then tidied up his clothes and walked out of the study.

Just at this moment, a man dressed as a laborer suddenly appeared in the garden.

Lu Gaosheng frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you? If there is anything important, first..."

Kill Wolf lowered his head and said, "Sir, something happened to Miss Bai Fang!"

Hearing the word 'Bai Fang', Lu Gaosheng's eyebrows were knotted even tighter, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter? Speak quickly!"

Seeing Lu Gaosheng’s anxiety, Kill Wolf said, "Sir, don't worry, it's not a disaster, it's just... it seems that Miss Bai Fang is going to get married."

What?

Lu Gaosheng thought he had misheard for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"

Kill Wolf emphasized, "Miss Bai Fang is going to get married. The groom seems to be the young master of Ming Mansion."

Ming Qing?

The waste son of the Grand Worshipper?

Lu Gaosheng only felt that at this moment, this matter was so absurd that he felt he was dreaming!

How could Bai Fang be interested in such an incompetent and useless person, a waste who could neither write nor martial arts?

I must be dreaming.

Yes, I must be dreaming.

...

...

In the evening bookstore before closing, Zhang San sat in the store, listening to 'gossip man' Wang Xiaoer recount what he had heard in Bai Fang's house.

Zhang San said, "Whether she gets married or not has nothing to do with us."

Wang Xiaoer wondered, "Master, don't you have any curiosity?"

Zhang San slapped Wang Xiaoer and scolded, "What do you want that stuff for? Can it make money, or improve your inner strength? If I wasn't afraid of being too deliberately distant from them and arousing Lu Gaosheng's suspicion, I would have locked you up long ago!"

Wang Xiaoer rubbed his little head and thought to himself that it didn't seem to hurt that much, it seemed to be more resistant to beatings than before.

Was it because he was beaten more?

But of course he couldn't say it out loud. What if the master increased his strength in the future? So seeing the master angry, Wang Xiaoer hurried out, but still grumbled, "I just can't figure out why Auntie Bai wants to marry Ming Qing."

Looking at Wang Xiaoer running away in a streak, Zhang San, who had nothing to do for a while, also thought about it, but because he hadn't talked to Bai Fang for a few sentences and didn't know much about her, Zhang San couldn't think of anything.

The only thing Zhang San could associate with was Bai Fang coughing up blood in the store some time ago.

But I don't know if it has anything to do with getting married.

That being said, Ming Qing's appearance was absolutely good, his personality was simple, he was suspected of having a great official background, not to mention money, anyway, it seemed that he was a good match for a beauty like Bai Fang.

"Why do I care so much about them?" Zhang San muttered, dissatisfied with his meaningless concern at the moment.

As a steady killer, meaningless concern, especially meaningless concern for a woman, will inevitably affect the stability of one's career.

After warning himself in his heart, Zhang San got up to close the store, but unexpectedly, a familiar figure appeared on the street outside as soon as he went out.

Lu Gaosheng?

Zhang San was shocked, and secretly guessed, could it be that he had come to find himself? Was he going to take action against me?

But no, if he really wanted to take action, would a scholar who can't martial arts dare to come in person?

Lu Gaosheng's path quickly dispelled Zhang San's doubts. Lu Gaosheng went to the tofu shop, not his bookstore.

Combining what Wang Xiaoer had just said about Bai Fang's preparation to "get married", Zhang San thought in a blink of an eye, thinking of the ambiguous relationship between Lu Gaosheng and Bai Fang, he immediately guessed Lu Gaosheng's approximate purpose.

Interesting.

But it has nothing to do with me.

Thinking this way, Zhang San closed the door as soon as he entered the house.

Taking out the silver wire, Zhang San had wrapped it properly in the backyard and in the house these days. Although he slept in the secret room, he would not relax his vigilance. These silver wires were connected to small bells in the house. Any movement would immediately alert Zhang San.

Just as he was doing safety work, Zhang San's sensitive ears heard arguing coming from the neighboring tofu shop.

Zhang San frowned slightly, thinking to himself, he shouldn't harm Bai Fang, right.
