    Chapter Ninety-Six: Storm in the Pasture (Enduring the End of Endurance Again and Again)

    More than thirty blazing torches illuminated the small mountain forest in bright red.

    In fact, from the time Xiang Xun and three people walked out of the camphor forest formation, to the sneak attack by five people, to the ranch soldiers coming to the rescue, to the hasty retreat after two people were killed, all of this happened in just a few moments.

    Therefore, when reinforcements from the ranch arrived, all that was left on the field were two steaming corpses.

    "Miss, are you okay? My subordinate came to the rescue late, please punish me." A man in his thirties holding a spear quickly walked forward and knelt down on one knee.

    Jin Caixuan shook her head, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "I'm fine. Uncle Xu, please get up quickly and get here from the foot of the mountain. It only took less than half a cup of tea. How can you say it's too late? What's more,  , the other party was forced to withdraw precisely because of your arrival, otherwise no one can say what the final result will be."

    In fact, Jin Qiu has never really let go of the safety of the mountain. Although there is a camphor forest formation that is difficult for ordinary people to enter, he still feels that it is not enough to ensure the safety of his daughter, so he arranged a separate team of more than fifty people.  The team was stationed outside Lin Zhen.

    It's just that Jin Caixuan and her master were very confident in the camphor forest formation. At their request, Jin Qiu had to arrange the team at the foot of the hill. In this way, even if there was any danger on the hill, reinforcements could still be quickly made.  .

    "Thank you for your kindness, Miss." Xu Wending stood up and thanked him, and then asked: "Huh? These two brothers look at their clothes, they don't seem to be from our ranch?"

    Jin Caixuan nodded and said: "Well, this is Li Jing and this is Xiang Xun. They are both guests of our ranch. Thanks to them two today, otherwise I would have been captured by those guys."

    Xu Wending hurriedly clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Thank you both for your kind deeds. If anything happens to Miss today, Xu will be the sinner of the ranch. Please accept Xu's respect."

    The two of them quickly refused. Xiang Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are too polite. We and Miss Caixuan are friends. How can we stand by and watch when our friends are in trouble?"

    Xu Wending is full of doubts, why have I never heard of Miss having you two friends?  He was puzzled, but when he saw that Jin Caixuan did not deny it, he said, "Even so, since you have protected the young lady, you deserve to be worshiped by me." After saying that, he said deeply.  Big gift.

    The two of them had no choice but to suffer. Li Jing said: "Brother Xu, why don't you check the origins of the two people on the ground first and see if you can recognize who they are."

    Xiang Xun stepped forward and said: "They showed up to attack us. There were five of them, and one was hiding in the dark. These five people's kung fu is not very powerful, but they are good at combined attacks. If I hadn't borrowed  As the terrain in the forest disrupts their coordination, it may be difficult to kill these two people in a short time."

    Xu Wending nodded and squatted down. Because one of them had been cut in half by Xiang Xun with a knife, blood and internal organs were everywhere, and it was filthy, so he had to pull off the black cloth covering the door of the other person's face.  He carefully identified it by the firelight, then shook his head and said: "I have never seen this person before, and I can't tell his origin yet. I need to report this to the owner of the venue immediately. Miss, you can follow us down the mountain. This  If you have to go up the mountain for a while, we must accompany you along the way."

    Jin Caixuan nodded and said, "Okay, so I'll have to trouble Uncle Xu and the brothers."

    Xu Wending dared not say: "As ranchers, it is our honor to protect the young lady. The young lady must not harm us."

    A group of soldiers on the ranch said yes again and again. It was a very pleasant thing to be called brothers by the young lady.

    In a short while, Dai Chaozong was seen rushing over with a few people. After asking about the situation in a few words, he left Xu Wending and some brothers to clean up the traces in the forest, while he took three people down the mountain first.  Meet Jin Qiu, the owner of the venue

    ¡­¡­

    After nightfall, the moon began to shine brightly, shrouding the entire pasture in a silver light.

    "I also asked you where the hell you two guys went. After doing this for a long time, you actually sneaked up the mountain! As a result, I couldn't find you even though I was looking for you." Dai Chaozong said helplessly.

    Xiang Xun grinned and said: "How can it be sneaky? The two of us are clearly like mountains on the ground."

    Dai Chaozong curled his lips to expose his lies and said: "Without Miss Guidance, how can you enter?"Got that square yard?  "

    Hearing this, Jin Caixuan waved her hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Dai, you are mistaken. The two of them got in by their own ability. I have no com at all. "Hmph!  "Seeing the surprised look on Dai Chaozong's face, Xiang Xun wiped his nose with his thumb and put on a arrogant look, which made several people laugh.

    Dai Chaozong stopped laughing and said seriously: "But it's fortunate that you two came together with the young lady by mistake. Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable"

    ¡­¡­

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUTOUT but now that autumn has ended early and winter is getting colder, things in Liuyun Ranch are like fountains, one after another rising out of the water.

    Xue Gui and Dai Chaozong led a group of people to work for most of the day, but in the end they still found nothing. The few clues they had were handled meticulously, so their plan to follow the clues was forced to run aground.

    On the other side, under the leadership of Luo Qianzhi, Eunuch Mu was inspecting the war horses in the pasture. Even though Eunuch Mu was a eunuch, he did things neatly and without any sloppiness. Maybe it was directly related to the previous knife.  Or an indirect relationship?

    It only took half a day for the group to properly inspect the situation of the horses at Liuyun Ranch. After lunch, they immediately returned to Luoyang, and no one could keep them.

    County Governor Guo Xu has not arrived for a long time, and he wanted to stay and spend more time with Jin Qiu, but because of Eunuch Mu, he was not allowed to leave immediately with him.

    Therefore, at night, only Xue Gui, Xiang Xun and others were able to attend the banquet hosted by Jin Qiu.

    Originally, Xue Gui had come all the way, and the atmosphere at the venue should have been very lively. However, in the past few days, the ranch has been experiencing various disturbances. First, he was besieged by thieves, and then Xue Gui brought a piece of business with unknown origin.  Then Eunuch Mu came with an imperial edict to ask for the war horses, and then the money was stolen. Just now, Jin Caixuan was assassinated, which made it difficult for everyone to settle down for a while, making the atmosphere of the banquet difficult to be as lively as usual.  .

    The food on the banquet was definitely good food, and the wine was definitely good wine, but people who were eating food and drinking wine had no desire to taste it, so it was difficult for their mouths to feel how delicious these things were. Everyone ate several times and filled up the food hastily.  After filling his belly, he dispersed.

    After the banquet was over, Xiang Xun and Li Jing did not go to rest immediately, but were led into Jin Qiu's study by Dai Chaozong

    ¡­¡­

    The two of them followed Dai Chaozong into the room. It was very quiet in the study. The two wind lanterns burning on the table illuminated the room brightly. The owner, Jin Qiu, was sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking about.  .

    "You two little brothers, please sit down. I want to thank you first for saving Caixuan tonight." After the three of them entered the room, Jin Qiu opened his eyes and said.

    Li Jing shook his head and smiled: "The host is too polite. Not to mention that you have already said this before. Moreover, no matter what angle we stand on, the two of us should do this."

    Jin Qiu sighed slightly and said: "The two little brothers are young, but they can take credit without being arrogant, which really makes Jin very fond of them."

    Jin Qiu picked up the scented tea on the table and took a sip, paused, and continued: "Since Qingyun passed away, the child Caixuan has become more and more sensible. Although she only focused on studying her novel and weird things,  However, both her demeanor and her own temperament have become more and more similar to Qingyun. Several deacons and generals in the ranch and I all feel that if she is willing, she will take over the position of the next generation farm owner in the future.  , there is no problem. Therefore, your protection of her tonight is actually a very big favor to our Liuyun Ranch."

    Xiang Xun shook his head and said, "My second brother and I don't really care about favors or anything like that. After all, we are all friends. Doing something for your friends is a matter of course. However, please don't  Blame me for talking too much. Although the two of us have only been with Caixuan for less than a day, we have a deep understanding of her character. Of course, it seems very rude to say such things in front of you, but I  I feel that if you hand over the position of host to her, although she is capable enough to take on the role, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to be happy again in the future."

    After hearing this, Jin Qiu nodded and smiled slightly: "What Brother Xiang said makes sense, but her brother is still young. As the farm owner's daughter, she must first consider the ranch. As for happiness,  Maybe there will be, maybe there won¡¯t be, she can only find those by herself.¡±

    Dai Chaozong said dissatisfied: "Master, you are saying this again. I think you are only forty-one now. It is a great year. Why do you need to talk about this?"

    Jin Qiu shook his head and said with a smile: "What do you mean by saying this again? Have I said it many times?"

    Dai Chaozong rolled his eyes and said, "ThisIsn¡¯t it too much to say it once?  "

    Jin Qiu laughed and said: "Forget it, but you have to prepare for a rainy day. I can't stay in this position forever. If the ranch wants to last for a long time, it must train successors early. Otherwise, wait for me someday  Suddenly gone, such a big stall may fall apart, so how can I face the ancestors of the Jin family?"

    The friendship between Dai Chaozong and Jin Qiu is actually very deep, so they often talk without any scruples. However, Dai Chaozong felt the ominous taste in Jin Qiu's mouth and felt a little unhappy. He was about to speak out to refute when he suddenly woke up.  The meridians on both legs were completely damaged, so I was able to understand his thoughts for a while.

    "But understanding is understanding, and if you don't want to hear it, you don't want to hear it. Then Dai Chaozong waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about these things, let's talk about the business at hand. Only after these things are resolved can you continue the topic."

    Jin Qiu nodded and said with a smile: "That's true. It's up to you to tell the two little brothers what happened."

    Dai Chaozong nodded, and then said to Xiang Xun and Li Jing: "Our ranch can be said to be on the cusp of a storm right now. I don't know how many people are trying to take advantage of us, so I have something that I would like to ask you two to help with.  If it works out, you two will always be our good friends at Liuyun Ranch."

    Li Jing shook his head and said: "Uncle Dai can just say it, but if there is anyone who can help, we two brothers will never refuse."

    Xiang Xun nodded and said, "Second brother is right. Uncle Dai, just say what you have to say."

    Dai Chaozong looked at Jin Qiu and saw him nodding. Then he took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "You will understand something after reading this letter."

    Xiang Xun and the two couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd. Then they saw Li Jing reaching out to take the letter and reading it after just a few glances. His whole brow suddenly squeezed together.

    "What can make you look like this, second brother? Bring it to me." Xiang Xun looked at Li Jing's face and asked to read the letter in confusion.

    "No waythis, this Pei Zhongisn't that young nephew from your ranch?" Xiang Xun was as shocked as Li Jing after reading the letter, although they both had doubts about the young nephew.  But when the real evidence was placed in front of the two of them, people still couldn't help but feel cold.

    "Yes, it's that ruthless little bastard!" Dai Chaozong cursed in a low voice, his square face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

    "As the young nephew of the ranch, not only did he not think about the ranch, why did he collude with outsiders to harm the ranch? Moreover, even if he colluded with outsiders, why would he collude with that Yuwenshiji? The power of the Yuwen family is not on this side.  What good can come from his collusion with Yu Wenshiji?" Xiang Xun shook his head and asked in confusion.

    Jin Qiu shook his head slightly and sighed: "Come to think of it, I'm afraid he has never let go of that matter. Otherwise, how could he take such a big risk to harm my Liuyun Ranch?"

    Dai Chaozong raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you talking about that incident eleven years ago?"

    Jin Qiu nodded and said: "It's not that thing or that thing. That year, his father and I went to the outside of the Great Wall to look for good seeds. Who knew that we encountered a rare sandstorm halfway?  We found the horse species and were driving back under the stars. Unexpectedly, there would be a sandstorm waiting for us. When we realized that the sandstorm was coming, we had no way to avoid it, so we had to form a formation nearby in the hope of saving our lives. As a result, the sandstorm stopped.  At that time, everyone was there except his father"

    Li Jing shook his head and said: "The power of that kind of natural disaster cannot be resisted by human power But he probably doesn't believe it"

    Jin Qiu nodded and said: "Yes, he and his mother had a quarrel at that time, and his mother never forgave me until her death. Alas In fact, if it were me, I'm afraid I would also doubt why everyone  But his father is missing?"

    Dai Chaozong snorted coldly and said: "They didn't think carefully about it. Even if they want to harm his father, there must be a reason, right? If you harm him, what benefit will it have to you, the farm owner? What benefit will it have to the ranch? It's really  You¡¯re a fool who doesn¡¯t know how to turn!¡±

    Xiang Xun said: "What happened next? How could he enter the ranch?"

    Jin Qiu shook his head and said: "My wife was just a younger brother, so she left her mother-in-law and young son and died unexpectedly, which made her very sad for a time. Moreover, he actually liked his nephew Pei Zhong very much, so he not only  I once again want him to come to our Liuyun Ranch, so that he can at least be taken care of."

    Dai Chaozong shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Pei Rufeng, a well-known local man, married an unreasonable woman!"

    Jin Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, Rufeng's mother-in-law never allowed Pei Zhong to come to Liuyun Ranch, saying that no matter what, she would not eat from her enemies.A mouthful of food However, she is not a long-lived daughter. After her husband died, the family had no support, and the family, which was not very wealthy, quickly declined"

    Li Jing shook his head, just sighed and said nothing.

    Then Jin Qiu continued: "About three years have passed. Suddenly one day, Pei Zhong appeared outside the pasture gorge in ragged clothes. He was very hungry. My wife was very distressed. She learned that his mother had died.  After he passed away, he was not allowed to leave the ranch under any circumstances. In this way, he was considered to have taken root in the ranch"

    Xiang Xun sighed slightly: "Now that I think about it, he must have come with revenge in mind when he entered the ranch"

    Jin Qiu shook his head and said: "Who can guess a person's mind? Although I have a clear conscience about this matter, I can't make him believe it. It's really sad"

    Dai Chaozong said: "We are not gods. How can we care so much? Seeing him do such things, you know that hatred has already taken root in his heart. Now that he has reached this stage, it is useless to say anything.  "

    Li Jing raised his head and said: "In that case, I wonder what the owner Jin and Uncle Dai are going to do with us two brothers?"

    Xiang Xun suddenly slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. This morning, when General Di's son and daughter were flying a kite, the kite was suddenly blown away by the wind and got entangled in the tree. Then I climbed up the tree and put it down.  . As a result, I accidentally saw several people sneaking out several large wooden boxes from the rockery in Pei Zhong's courtyard and entering a room. Now listening to what you said, if that Pei Zhong is really  If it¡¯s going to be detrimental to the ranch, could those boxes contain firearms? I hope the ranch owner would be better off being careful.¡±

    "Box?!" Dai Chaozong's eyes suddenly lit up, "What color box? Big or small? How many are there?"

    Xiang Xun saw that he was suddenly so excited and didn't know what was going on. He just recalled: "It's a red box. It's quite big. I think it's hard for both of them to lift it. As for a few this  I don¡¯t know, but I only saw two.¡±

    Dai Chaozong and Jin Qiu looked at each other, then walked up and patted Xiang Xun on the shoulder and said: "Good boys, you two are really the lucky generals of our ranch. You easily solved Mr. Xue and I."  A puzzle that remained unsolved all morning.¡±

    Xiang Xun and Li Jing were confused for a moment, and then they heard Dai Chaozong tell the truth about the loss of escort money from Fuyuan Escort Bureau, and they couldn't help but be shocked by Pei Zhong's methods.
