Chapter 531 There Is Always One Thing to Overcome Another

Hearing Fang Ziyu's words, Xu Han and Ye Hongjian, who had finally regained their senses, looked at each other and saw a look of embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Of course, the two of them quickly adjusted their state and began to appease the furious Fang Ziyu. They also asked about the general reason for the matter. Only then did he learn from Fang Ziyu's mouth, After hearing about the huge reward offered by Nangong Jing, Chu Chou Li, Su Mu'an, and Yan Zhan Xue Ning joined the ranks of the "bounty hunters". They had probably investigated this matter before, so they knew more or less about the traces of some Jianghu people who had infiltrated the Horizontal Imperial City, so they naturally reported them to Nangong Jing in front of Zhong Li.

This caused Fang Ziyu, who was already at odds with Nangong Jingji, to inevitably feel betrayed by the crowd. That was why he was so angry.

Xu Han and Ye Hongjian, who understood the reason behind this matter, naturally swore that they would never "collude" with Chu Chouli and the others in order to appease this young miss Fang!

Although Fang Ziyu was skeptical of this, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart for the time being.

However, it seemed as if it was just in case, Miss Fang followed behind Xu Han and Ye Hongjian like a dog skin plaster, wherever the two of them went, she would follow them.

Xu Han and Ye Hongjian were sparring in the courtyard. She wanted to watch from the side. Xu Han and Ye Hongjian went to the restaurant in the city to eat. She also wanted to follow. Xu Han wanted to go with Ye Hongjian to buy ingredients. She also wanted to follow. Asking her why, Young Miss Fang said to him, "I'm just… I'm just bored. I want to see the Royal City with you, but I'm not worried about you guys going to the Nangong fellow with me behind your backs."

Such an overwhelming answer made Xu Han and Ye Hongjian burst into laughter, and thus fulfilled Miss Fang's wish, allowing her to follow the two of them.

After returning to the courtyard with large bags and small bags of various ingredients, Chu Chouli and the others' whereabouts were still unknown.

This made Miss Fang, who was not in a bad mood, almost angry. She threw the ingredients in her hand onto the wooden chair in the main hall and muttered, "This group of heartless people must have been mesmerized by the old woman surnamed Nangong. They are so happy that they don't miss Shu!"

Fang Ziyu looked at Xu Han at that time and earnestly instructed, "You can't be like them. Hongjian is much better than that old woman. If you don't know what's good for you like them, I'll take care of you!" As she spoke, Young Miss Fang even swore to Xu Han with her own fists.

Before Xu Han could reply, Ye Hongjian handed Xu Han a cunning smile. "Did you hear that? You have to know who's good and who's bad."

'"Yes! Yes! Yes! Miss Fang is right. I've been taught." Xu Han hurriedly nodded his head, not daring to refute.

Hearing this, the angered Fang Ziyu was slightly better. She stretched out her hand and patted Xu Han on the shoulder with an instructive look. "This is my Little Xu," she said in a very gratified tone.

After saying this, Fang Ziyu seemed to be in a much better mood. Her gaze wandered around the hall for a while, and finally landed on the pile of ingredients she had bought. Fang Ziyu's eyes lit up. She raised her sleeve and said, "For your sake, I will be so kind as to cook a meal for you today!"

Eldest Miss Fang's expression was obviously one of blessings, but when Xu Han and Ye Hongjian heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change. They were naturally clear about Miss Fang's culinary skills. The sweet potatoes that had been burnt in the outer scorch that had been roasted for them in the Exquisite Pavilion were still vivid in their minds.

Xu Han didn't dare to let her cook. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Normally, Fang Ziyu would be happy to be at ease, but today's Miss Fang was obviously more sensitive. Seeing Xu Han's appearance, she immediately raised her eyebrows and asked discontentedly, "What? Do you dislike the food I cooked?"

Xu Han did not dare to touch Miss Fang's brows at this moment. He frowned and thought of a set of words that could satisfy Fang Ziyu.

However, at this moment, a series of quarrels suddenly came from the direction of the backyard.

There lived more than a hundred swordsmen who Nangong Jing had thrown to Xu Han.

Realizing that things were not going well, the three of them glanced at each other and did not care about the question of who should be the head chef for the dinner. They quickly walked towards the place where the voice came from.

…

"Could it be that those swordsmen are causing trouble again?" Fang Ziyu, who was rushing towards the direction where the dispute was coming from, said with a frown.

Xu Han naturally could not give her an answer to this question. Before Nangong Jing prepared to attack those Jianghu people who had lurked in the Heng Imperial City this morning, in order to prevent these "bright lines" that were planted in the swordsmen from causing trouble, The usually meticulous Nangong Jing had long since sent Nangong Zhuo and Xu Han to explain this matter to her. Furthermore, Nangong Zhuo had also been left here to monitor the swordsmen who lived in the courtyard.

However, before this, Xu Han had shown these swordsmen his iron-blooded wrists more than once. Logically speaking, these swordsmen should all be smart people. At least, they shouldn't do anything beyond that until some of the plans of the Crimson Firmament Sect are fully implemented. After all, the tragic lessons of the past are still vivid in their minds. Xu Han is the kind of ruthless person who can make decisions without wasting the slightest bit of time with you.

Of course, Xu Han was also somewhat puzzled by the commotion coming from the swordsman's residence.

He led Ye Hongjian and Fang Ziyu to that place quickly, but the scene in front of him made Xu Han frown deeply.

Nangong Zhuoli's face turned red at the door. He didn't know what to say to the swordsmen, but the swordsmen gathered together and argued with Nangong Zhuo excitedly. There was a saying that two fists were difficult to defeat four hands, and Nangong Zhuo was clearly at a disadvantage in this battle of words with a wide disparity in numbers.

However, soon, someone noticed Xu Han and the others' arrival.

At this moment, Xu Han's impressive reputation had shown some effect. The aggressive swordsmen quieted down when they saw Xu Han's figure. All of them lowered their heads in discomfort, as if they were afraid that a glance would attract Xu Han's bloody revenge.

"What's wrong with everyone? Didn't you have a good chat just now? Why didn't everyone say anything the moment someone Xu came?" Xu Han did not care about what these people were thinking. He quickly walked to the front of the crowd. Although his mouth sounded like a joke, the cold light in his narrowed eyes made everyone's hair numb.

Naturally, in front of such a powerful Xu Han, none of the swordsmen dared to respond to Xu Han's question. The arena was immediately silent.

"What? You don't welcome me?" The cold light in Xu Han's narrowed eyes became even colder, and the expression on his face even more vividly displayed the words'domineering 'and'domineering'.

"No, Brother Xu." However, Xu Han's questioning caused Nangong Zhuo's expression to change. He hurriedly said, "It's not that everyone is causing trouble, but that they have lost some important things, so they came to seek help from me."

Hearing this, Xu Han looked deeply at Nangong Zhuo. He was clearly here to help Nangong Zhuo out of the encirclement. This Nangong Zhuo was good. Instead, he helped these swordsmen to put in a good word. Xu Han felt a little helpless with his actions, but he also thought of Song Yueming, who used to be like this. The two of them shared many things in common.

However, it was clearly not the time to investigate this matter carefully. Although Xu Han was dissatisfied with Nangong Zhuo's eyesight, he still had to cooperate with him. At that time, his expression darkened and he asked, "Hmm? Lost something important? What is it?"

"I didn't know either, but I didn't say anything when I wanted to ask them. That's why there was a disturbance and disturbed Brother Xu." Nangong Zhuo said.

His mind was simple, but he didn't think about the tricks. However, Xu Han was very clear that since he had lost something important, he must be extremely anxious. However, he was unwilling to say what the so-called items were. Obviously, the missing items were either coveted treasures or stolen items that could not be revealed. Xu Han's mind sank. At that time, he looked at the swordsmen and asked with a deep gaze, "Who lost the item and what it was. Tell me quickly, I will do my best to find the lost item for everyone."

However, after those words were spoken, the faces of the swordsmen turned pale, and none of them responded to Xu Han's words.

Ai! Everyone, please talk to Brother Xu. Just now … Nangong Zhuo saw that everyone was silent, but it was at that time that he urged the swordsmen to act as if they were anxious and anxious.

"Actually, the things that were lost are nothing important. How dare you bother Lord Xu and Young Master Nangong? The little ones will leave now." The leader said at that time.

However, Xu Han narrowed his eyes and looked at the person. The aura around him suddenly rose. Then, he asked in a meaningful tone, "Is that so?"

Under the pressure of Xu Han's aura, the swordsman's face immediately turned pale. He repeatedly nodded and said, "Exactly. Exactly."

"Oh." Xu Han nodded and said, "Since that's the case, what do you mean?"

When the leader heard this, he immediately came to his senses. He hurriedly said, "I will leave now. I will leave now."

As he spoke, under the lead of the swordsman, At this moment, the aggressive crowd turned around and left. There were some people who fell to the ground due to their panic. However, he didn't care about such a miserable situation. He stood up and continued to walk quickly, as if a primordial beast was standing behind him.

"Ai! What do you mean by this? Why don't you trouble your own brothers?" However, Nangong Zhuo didn't seem to be able to see the embarrassment of these swordsmen. He actually kept waving his hand at the swordsmen and saying.

Only when the figures of the swordsmen disappeared from everyone's sight did Nangong Zhuo stop and turn to Xu Han with a smile.

At this moment, Xu Han came to his senses. It turned out that Young Master Nangong was not the indiscriminate Song Yueming. This was clearly another Xu Han who knew how to retreat by advancing. He was extremely good at disguising himself as a pig and eating a tiger.

Xu Han's eyes narrowed as he thought of this. He looked at Nangong Zhuo with a harmless smile on his face and raised his eyebrows without saying anything. The other party also responded to Xu Han's faint smile and said respectfully, "Thank you, Brother Xu."

…

Eldest Miss Fang's interest was quick to come and go. On the way back, she seemed to have forgotten who was the head chef for dinner, so she kept quiet about it. On the contrary, he was annoyed by the strange behavior of the swordsmen, "What did you say they lost? Why did they make a fuss and say that they didn't have anything? Could it be that they were deliberately looking for trouble?"

Xu Han helplessly shrugged his shoulders at this question, "Who knows? However, I don't think they will cause trouble for themselves. It's not good for them to make such a scene."

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu pondered for a while and felt that Xu Han's words made sense. She then asked, "So what do you mean by saying that they really lost something?"

"Yes." Xu Han nodded, "I guess what it is that we can't know, but it's something extremely important to them. However, I don't know exactly what it is."

"Then you said that there are so many experts from the Great Evolution Realm guarding our courtyard, but none of us have noticed. Who exactly stole it?" At this moment, Fang Ziyu seemed to have turned into a constable and began to ask.

Xu Han shook his head again and said with a bitter smile, "I don't know."

Things were stolen from his courtyard, Strange as it may be, But it's none of my business, Xu Han was too lazy to investigate. After all, although his relationship with this group of swordsmen appeared to be that of superior subordinates, However, Xu Han knew very well that these swordsmen were truly hot potatoes. If they couldn't protect themselves, they would attack him. They would suffer losses. No matter who did this, Xu Han was happy to see it succeed. He definitely wouldn't go and capture the real culprit for these people who would sooner or later become his enemies.

"Could it be Chu Chouli?" However, Fang Ziyu did not seem to feel Xu Han's thoughts. She quickly listed the number one suspect in her heart.

Such suspicions were not without purpose. Everyone could see Chu Chouli's kung fu as a gentleman. It was said that as long as the time was ripe, immortals would dare to hold onto him. If he were to draw the attention of these swordsmen, it would not be impossible for him to do so.

However, with Chu Chouli's overjoyed temperament, if he had really stolen a treasure that these swordsmen obviously cared about, how could he hide it? Perhaps he would have found Xu Han and the others to flaunt their pride long ago.

However, even though Chu Chouli's suspicions had already been ruled out in his heart, Xu Han said, "En, it's possible. Why don't you ask Big Brother Chu when he comes back?"

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu's complacent expression instantly froze. She turned around and glanced elsewhere, saying with disdain, "Hmph! This miss will not say a word to these traitors!"

Fang Ziyu's childish remarks naturally caused Xu Han and Ye Hongjian to laugh bitterly, but they did not place any comments on her remarks.

On the contrary, Fang Ziyu saw that the two of them were silent. After a moment of silence, he moved closer to Ye Hongjian and said, "Why don't you ask Hongjian?"

How could Ye Hongjian have such a childish temperament? She smiled and shook her head.

However, Fang Ziyu, who had been rejected, did not give up. He moved closer to Xu Han and said, "Then why don't you ask someone surnamed Xu? Anyway, you are very familiar with that fellow surnamed Chu."

However, Xu Han put on a righteous expression at that time. He said in a deep voice, "Chu Chouli, this villain, abandoned his son fish to Nangong Jing for the sake of a mere silver reward. I am also not willing to talk to such a shameless person anymore."

These words undoubtedly sealed Fang Ziyu's path of retreat. The girl's expression froze, and she didn't know what to say. She could only end the topic with unwillingness in her heart.

…

The three of them quickly returned to the main hall of the courtyard. Before stepping into the door, Xu Han seized the opportunity to put forward the idea of having his head chef today. Young Miss Fang, who was not in a depressed mood, obviously did not care about this matter and did not make any rebuttal. This caused Xu Han and Ye Hongjian to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Hongjian, who was in front of the three of them, stepped into the door immediately. But at this moment, Ye Hongjian's expression suddenly changed. A murderous aura surfaced in her eyes. Her body that had stepped into the room also stopped. She looked into the room and her brows sank. She shouted, "Who are you?"

Xu Han and Fang Ziyu, who were walking behind them, had not seen the scene in the room clearly for several days. However, from Ye Hongjian's solemn attitude, it was not difficult to guess that there were some uninvited guests in the room. They hurriedly walked forward, but at this moment, a voice that Xu Han and Fang Ziyu were extremely familiar with came from inside the room.

"Looks like Little Xu Han's Imperial Wife Dao is very unsatisfactory, right? You don't even know who I am?"

The voice was extremely young and tender, like the cry of an oriole.

However, Xu Han's heart trembled when he heard this. His footsteps were even faster, as if he was afraid of something.

He quickly rushed into the room, ignoring the three or seven or twenty-one. He first stopped the ugly Ye Hongjian, and then turned to look into the room.

In the middle of the room, a purple-eyed girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was waving her feet and smiling at Xu Han.

"Second Martial Niang." Xu Han had already recognized the identity of the person from that voice. He wasn't surprised by this. Instead, he hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully towards the girl who looked a few years younger than him and called out.

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian, who was still puzzled, immediately regained her senses.

"Old witch!" However, right at this stall, Fang Ziyu, who was following Xu Han into the room, let out a cry of surprise.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, Miss Fang knew that she had said something wrong. She hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was too late. The purple-eyed girl's expression changed as she appeared in front of Fang Ziyu with a flash.

Then, she looked at Fang Ziyu with deep eyes, and the anger on her face was naturally not concealed.

At that time, Young Miss Fang, who had never been afraid of the heavens or the earth, revealed a bitter expression. Her eyes glanced elsewhere and said with a fake smile, "Haha, the weather today is really good … Ah!!!"

But at that time, the purple-eyed girl did not wait for Fang Ziyu to finish saying those words. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Fang Ziyu's ear…

As a result, Young Miss Fang's sigh turned into a loud cry of pain in the end…
