Chapter 506 What Do You Say

Xiao Ran hurriedly left the morning of the second day of the Crossing Imperial City.

Xu Han was woken up by a quarrel at the door. He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the courtyard where he was. Aowu and Xuan'er, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, came forward. He comforted Xuan'er who was enjoying herself very skillfully and placed her on his shoulder.

Afterwards, he also wanted to stroke Aowu, who was wagging his tail. However, just as he reached out, Aowu retreated to the side and waited for Xu Han with widened eyes. It was as if he was questioning the other party's actions that humiliated his dignity as a wolf. Xu Han helplessly withdrew his hand in embarrassment and led the two little fellows out of the courtyard.

When they arrived at the main hall of the manor, the quarrel became clearer and clearer. It was the voice of Miss Fang.

"Do you know what a private mansion is? You brought so many people here because you want to rob your family?" Xu Han walked into the main hall and saw the young miss Fang pointing at Nangong Jing, who was standing not far away, cursing maliciously.

Behind Nangong Jing stood a pile of swordsmen dressed in white. The items embroidered on his sleeves were all gold, silver, and red. There were about a hundred of them. Based on Xu Han's understanding of the swordsmen in the Horizontal Imperial City, the number of swordsmen here was probably more than half of the resident swordsmen in the Horizontal Imperial City.

At this moment, Chu Chouli, Yan Zhan, and the others also rushed over. They looked at the large number of swordsmen in the manor and were all confused. Even Ye Hongjian frowned slightly. Obviously, she was worried.

However, Chu Chouli was a straightforward person. After thinking for a moment, he shouted, "This Nangong Jing doesn't want to take advantage of Xiao Ran's absence to take revenge on us, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Han helplessly looked at the middle-aged man. Although Nangong Jing had always been dissatisfied with him, he didn't think that he had reached the stage of taking revenge for himself. However, he really couldn't see the meaning of Nangong Jing's trip, so he could only lead everyone into the manor.

"Great Master Nangong is here. May I know what is going on?" Xu Hanlang said and quickly walked to Fang Ziyu's side.

The red-faced Fang Ziyu saw Xu Han as if he had seen a savior. At that time, he quickly welcomed him and pointed at Nangong Jing and the others. "You came at the right time, surnamed Xu. This old woman led so many people to forcefully break into the house early in the morning."

Seeing Fang Ziyu's incessant chatter, Xu Han looked at Nangong Jing with a calming gaze after seeing that he was infuriated by Nangong Jing, and then he looked at Nangong Jing who was standing beside him.

Although Xu Han did not think that Nangong Jing would take advantage of Xiao Ran's absence from the Crossing Imperial City to attack him, However, Xu Han was displeased that this woman had repeatedly sought trouble with him. In addition, nearly a month had passed and Liu Sheng still did not have any warning. Xu Han was already worried about this matter. Seeing that Nangong Jing was looking for trouble again, he looked at the other party with anger in his eyes.

However, Nangong Jing turned a blind eye to this. When she met Xu Han's gaze, her expression was incomparably calm.

"Young Master Xu is the Seven-Line Golden Robe of our Sword Handling Pavilion and has been entrusted by the Pavilion Master. How can there be no one under him? From today onwards, these hundred plus Sword Handlers will be handed over to Protector Xu!" Nangong Jing said with a deep gaze. After saying those words, she swept her gaze over everyone before turning around and leaving.

Only the incredulous crowd and the hundreds of swordsmen were left standing at the entrance of the manor, staring straight at Xu Han.

…

"Sigh! What do you think Nangong Jing is up to?"

After settling down the hundreds of swordsmen, Xu Han and the others sat in Xu Han's courtyard. They gathered around the stone table and talked to each other, guessing what this Lord Nangong was planning.

"Could it be that she wants these people to assassinate us?" Said Miss Fang, who was the hardest to deal with Nangong Jing.

"No, although Nangong Jing and I have some gaps, he is upright. I don't think he would do such a despicable thing." However, this speculation was quickly denied by Xu Han.

"Could it be that she wants to rely on these 100 people to eat us down?" Chu Chouli, who had always been in charge of everyone's food, also gave his own guess.

At this moment, he felt a headache when he remembered that he would have to cook a meal for over a hundred people from now on.

Of course, this guess was even more ridiculous than Fang Ziyu's, but it was surprisingly approved by Su Mu'an .

When the little fellow heard this, his expression changed greatly. He stared pitifully at Xu Han and carefully asked, "With so many people eating, will my sugar gourd be gone in the future?"

It was probably because of his exile that he had had enough of this life. Su Mu'an frowned deeply. Obviously, she was worried about the sudden addition of Number One Hundred.

Xu Han helplessly rolled his eyes at Chu Chouli, who had started this topic. He stood up and looked at Yan Zhan, "Big Brother Yan, what happened today has caused you and Miss Xue Ning trouble."

Although Xu Han and the others lived in the courtyard, it was Yan Zhan who had spent money to buy it. The sudden influx of these hundred swordsmen also made the seemingly spacious courtyard a little crowded. Xu Han felt somewhat guilty in his heart.

"What are these words? You and I are friends of life and death. To say these things is too outrageous." Yan Zhan waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile, "Besides, I, Yan Zhan, am also a swordsman now. This is not an unexpected calamity. Don't worry, someone Yan's pocket can't be eaten by anyone."

As Yan Zhan spoke, he patted his waistband with extreme confidence. Finally, he glanced at Su Mu'an , who was thinking seriously, and smiled, "Little fellow, don't worry. With your big brother Yan here, you can take care of the sugar gourd every day."

Hearing this, Su Mu'an 's eyebrows immediately lit up. He waved his hand repeatedly, "No need, no need, just a string."

This appearance caused everyone to burst into laughter. Even the solemn atmosphere that had lingered in the courtyard earlier became relaxed because of this little fellow's words.

However, no one noticed that Xu Han's eyes narrowed as he looked at a certain place thoughtfully.

…

In the evening, Xu Han sat at the wooden table in his courtyard and carefully looked at the thick pile of paper in front of him. His eyebrows gradually wrinkled as he flipped through it.

Squeak.

At this moment, a hoarse sound came out from the direction of the courtyard gate. The courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside, and Ye Hongjian, dressed in red, walked into the manor gate.

"Hongjian?" Seeing Ke's appearance clearly, Xu Han stood up and said, "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian rolled her eyes at Xu Han. She placed the lunch box in her hand in front of the stone table, opened it, and handed the dishes inside to Xu Han one by one.

"I'm not coming. Could it be that I'm watching you starve to death?" Ye Hongjian said with a harsh tone.

Everyone didn't understand Lord Nangong's thoughts after you and I talked for a while this afternoon. In the end, they could only let it go. However, Xu Han suddenly left the manor for a while. When he returned, everyone locked him up in the courtyard for dinner and didn't respond. Ye Hongjian naturally could only personally send him to the manor.

Xu Han also reacted at this moment. He smiled guiltily at Ye Hongjian and said, "I was fascinated by it. I forgot. I forgot."

Ye Hongjian rolled her eyes at him again, "Hurry up and eat. Don't get cold."

Then, the woman sat beside Xu Han and turned her head to look at the pages in front of him. At this moment, she was extremely close to Xu Han, and a faint fragrance floated along her body into Xu Han's nose, causing the expression on the youth's face to become somewhat unnatural.

"This is" Ye Hongjian also saw the handwriting on the paper. The girl's expression changed slightly as she turned to look at Xu Han.

Xu Han nodded and said, "It's the information of those swordsmen. Today, I went out to find Nangong Zhuo and gave me these things."

Ye Hongjian immediately understood. She simply took those pages over and placed them in front of her. Her brows furrowed as she flipped through the pages.

Ye Hongjian understood Xu Han's situation in Great Xia. In order to help Xu Han complete her homework, she had some understanding of the situation in Great Xia. The swordsmen who were sent to the manor today were all from various sects of Great Xia, and most of the sects they belonged to were secretly watching or intentionally leaning towards the Crimson Firmament Sect during the battle between the Crimson Firmament Sect and the Swordsmanship Pavilion.

"Nangong Jing wants to clean up the door. Leave this prick to me." Ye Hongjian was a smart person, so Xu Han naturally did not need to explain it to her in detail. He said it straightforwardly.

"Yes." Ye Hongjian reached out and stroked her temples behind her ears. Then, she looked at Xu Han and asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"

This matter was far from as simple as it seemed. The Crimson Firmament Sect and the Sword Handling Pavilion had torn apart their faces. At this moment, the only immortal in the Sword Handling Pavilion, Xiao Ran, was not in the Horizontal Imperial City. If the Crimson Firmament Sect really wanted to do something to the Sword Handling Pavilion, this was the best opportunity.

But on the surface, there was a supervisor of the imperial court of Great Xia in Heng Imperial City, Naturally, it was impossible for them to directly use force against the Sword Handling Pavilion. These swordsmen who were planted in the Sword Handling Pavilion and could defect at any time were chess pieces that they could use. Nangong Jing threw these hot potatoes into Xu Han's hands in order to avoid being caught unprepared by something when it happened.

"Soldiers are here to cover up the water and earth. As for the matters, we need to do them one by one." However, Xu Han's attitude was calm beyond Ye Hongjian's expectations. The youth smiled slightly and leisurely picked up the bowl and chopsticks. He picked up a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. However, his expression suddenly changed. He spat out the food and bitterly said, "Tell Big Brother Chu to put less salt in next time."

However, when Ye Hongjian saw the killing intent in her beautiful eyes, she stared fixedly at Xu Han and said with gritted teeth, "Big Brother Chu's food has already been eaten by them."

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before subconsciously asking, "Eh? Then this is …"

Ye Hongjian's brows furrowed even deeper. At that time, her tone became cold again. "What do you think?"
