At dawn, Liu Xu came out from Zhang Ruoying's place. When I returned home, the servants in the backyard were already up. Although Liu Xu was busy for most of the night last night, when he came back, he did not go back to sleep immediately. Instead, he continued his exercise plan, including frog jumps, push-ups, and standing stances. I took a shower and changed my clothes again. During breakfast, Ah Shou came to report that Liu Dakui had come to visit, and Liu Xu ordered him to come in. After he had a hurried breakfast, Liu Xu came to the front hall, where Liu Dakui was already sitting upright and waiting. When Liu Xu arrived, he quickly stood up respectfully, walked up a few steps, and bowed to pay homage. "Liu Shuai, I'm here to congratulate you. Ma Hong has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed. Life is worse than death. From now on in Wuhou Pu, you alone have the final say." Liu Dakui's face was full of joy at this time, and his expression was even more positive. Liu Xu was in awe that he had not seen before. Liu Xu sat down at the main seat and did not ask Liu Dakui to sit down. He just asked lightly: "Is this why you came to me this time?" Liu Dakui couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and said: " This time I came to congratulate Liu Shuai, and secondly, I heard the news yesterday that Qian Eryong planned to do harm to you, and I came to remind Liu Shuai. " Qian Eryong is Qian Butcher's brother. Liu Xu and Qian Butcher had a "dead feud". Originally, Liu Xu planned to wait until he officially took the position of bad commander of Qinglongfang to attack Qian Butcher. He didn't care much about this matter. He and Qian Eryong Sooner or later this colleague will have to confront him. It¡¯s just that Liu Xu was somewhat surprised. The other party must have found out about his ¡°relationship¡± with Chen Jide. It might be because of this relationship that they didn¡¯t dare to attack him before, but now they don¡¯t avoid it. There must be some reason for this. Liu Xu asked casually: "Then do you know how Qian Eryong plans to harm me?" "The younger one heard it from one of his subordinates, Marquis Wu. He said that Qian Eryong was beaten by you because of his brother. He was very annoyed and felt very humiliated about the incident. He once threatened to kill you sooner or later. The day before yesterday, he even accidentally told several of his subordinates, Marquis Wu, that your death was not far away. The younger one went to find Qian Er. I visited the gambling shop at the riverside dock. I happened to find out that there were a few desperadoes from the north coming to the gambling shop in the past few days. After losing money, they were eager to make up for it and borrowed a lot of usury from the gambling shop. In the end, they lost all their money. . But Qian Eryong did not ask for money from them. Instead, he entertained them with wine and meat. Therefore, I guess Qian Eryong may want these desperadoes to do harm to you. " Liu Xu couldn't help but feel. Slightly startled, he has not yet recovered his strength. What's more, the other party is still calculated mentally and unintentionally. If he ambush him secretly, he will really be in danger. Liu Xu then asked: "How many are these desperadoes exactly?" "It was difficult to ask the exact number of desperadoes at the time to avoid being suspected, but after a few insinuations, there were about three or four of them. ." Upon hearing the three or four people, Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you are on guard, unless all of the three or four people on the other side are top-notch masters, it will not be that easy to kill him. However, I think so, but I also want to be just in case, and I will at least have Amu with me at all times in the future. "Do you think the other party will attack me in the city?" Liu Xu softened his tone and asked Liu Dakui for his opinion with a hint of solemnity. When Liu Dakui saw Liu Xu like this, he was immediately flattered and said hurriedly: "Liu Shuai, the public security in the capital has not been very good in recent years. I often hear that dead bodies are found in those dark alleys. This is especially true at the riverside dock. It is not uncommon for dragons and snakes to mix together, and to rob property with knives in broad daylight. However, after all, you now have an official status. Although those desperadoes may not care about your official status, if you have an accident in the city, they may be very worried. It's hard to escape, so I think if they really plan to attack you, they might take you outside the city first. Of course, Liu Shuai, you'd better not go alone on weekdays, especially if you go alone to secluded places. "Alley." Liu Dakui's analysis was very accurate, and Liu Xu also agreed with it. Just like when he killed Ma De yesterday, he also deceived him to go outside the city first. Otherwise, if you do it in the city, you may be discovered quickly. The soldiers, Wuhou, and officials patrolling the streets are not all decorations. It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the guards and self-protection forces around you. In addition, it was not Liu Xu's style to only defend but not attack. He planned to find trouble with Qian Eryong today, and at the same time, he also went to have a face-to-face meeting to get a feel for this guy's roots. "You did a good job." After Liu Xu finished speaking, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, about one or two, and handed it to Liu Dakui. When Liu Dakui saw the silver in Liu Xu's hand, he was stunned on the spot and did not react. This tael of silver is nearly?Thousand, three hundred dollars is a huge amount of money for a low-level person like Liu Dakui. Liu Xu was very satisfied with his reaction, smiled slightly and said: "Take it, this is the silver reward for you." Liu Dakui swallowed dryly, but did not immediately reach out to take the silver, and turned his eyes with some difficulty He moved away from the money, looked at Liu Xu carefully, and said a little against his will: "Liu Shuai, this this is too much money, and I don't dare to accept it." Liu Xu's face sank slightly and said: "Scream. Just take it, the news you brought is worth this price, this is a major matter related to my life." Hearing this, Liu Dakui no longer hesitated, and quickly reached out and carefully took the two pieces of silver, feeling a little excited all over his body. trembling. This was a complete windfall for him, and more importantly, he knew that if he had been so appreciated by Liu Xu, he might be even richer in the future. Liu Xu is now more satisfied with his performance. Liu Dakui is undoubtedly a talent. If he wants to gain a foothold here in the future, he must have these talents under his command. "You sit down first." Liu Xu greeted politely and finally let him sit down. "Thank you, Liu Shuai." Liu Dakui carefully sat down halfway on the guest chair, bowing slightly with a respectful face, as if he was listening to orders. There was indeed something in Liu Xu's heart that asked him to do it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Last time I heard you said that you and Zheng Hongyun were friends, right?" Liu Dakui was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: " Liu Shuai Mingjian, I'm not really friends with him. I only made friends with him on purpose before, just to find out about Ma Shuai." Liu Xu didn't say anything after hearing this, but just looked at him calmly, and waited. Liu Dakui began to sweat on his forehead, and then he said, "Then you must be drinking buddies, right?" "This this is a small one, so to speak." Liu Dakui himself was a little unsure about the answer. He still couldn't figure out why Liu Xu suddenly mentioned Zheng Hongyun to him, but thinking of Zheng Hongyun's identity as Ma Hong's brother-in-law, he must have tried his best to deny that he had a good relationship with him. "That's enough." Liu Xu said in a relaxed tone, "Didn't you just make a fortune today? As Zheng Hongyun is your drinking buddy, you should invite him to have a good drink and not come home until he is drunk. As for the location, I think it would be fine to choose one of those small restaurants by the river. If Zheng Hongyun is drunk, you have to worry about him, lest he accidentally falls into the river or drowns." At this words, Liu Dakui was already shaking like chaff, his face was frighteningly pale, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. Liu Xu didn't seem to see the change in his expression, and then said: "Now there are a few people in our Wuhou Shop in Qinglongfang that I am not very satisfied with. I plan to fire them out and add a few new ones in the future. I I'm very optimistic about you and Wu Sanlang, don't let me down. It's not too early now, I have to go to the shop to have a look, you should go back first." Liu Dakui stood up quickly after hearing this, but his legs were too frightened. He almost fell down, but fortunately he stretched out his hand to hold down the chair in time, so he didn't fall to the ground. Liu Xu glanced at him, and Liu Dakui trembled quickly, lowered his head with a guilty conscience, and said in a trembling voice: "Little little, little, I'll take my leave first, little onethank you Liu Shuai for the reward." Liu Xu waved his hand gently towards him. "Little Excuse me." Liu Dakui carefully walked backwards to the door. Just as he was about to turn around, Liu Xu said again inadvertently: "Remember to go back and treat Hong Yun to a drink." "Yes" Liu Dakui He lowered his head tremblingly in agreement, then turned around carefully and stepped out of the threshold. When he walked into the yard, Liu Dakui realized that he was soaked all over, and his back was even colder.
