"I lost." The old patriarch looked at the chessboard and sighed sadly.

Fengcheng.

Zhuangyuan.

Zhuang Ming held an ancient book in his hand, and it was Fang Yi's book.

In addition to Fang Yi's classics, Qianyang also collected more than a hundred taels of silver.

"Sir." Lu He jumped in from the courtyard wall, glanced at Qian Yang and Yin Ming, and then saluted in front of Zhuang Ming.

"Are you ready?" Zhuang Ming looked at the ancient book without raising his head.

"Everything is ready. In addition..." Lu He muttered: "Steward Sun has a problem."

"Today, because of this ancient book, I found out." Zhuang Ming closed the ancient book, raised it, and said, "Guanshi Sun must have some contacts with the Song family in Xuancheng."

"Master, do you know?" Lu He raised his head, but immediately felt relieved.

"Today I asked Qian Yang to kill people and seize books. Steward Sun's eyes flashed and he was a little panicked. He couldn't hide it from me." Zhuang Ming said slowly: "I'm sure there is something wrong with Steward Sun. Some things are easy to guess. I'm going to ask for this

It can be said to be a coincidence that people from the Song family came to snatch this ancient book, but that boy from the Song family used a few lives to provoke me and test me..."

"I heard about it." Lu He nodded and said, "Thanks to Lord Qianyang for disposing of the body, it saves me the need to ask for a favor from Lord Zhao."

"If this boy from the Song family hadn't figured out my habits, how could he test me with a few lives?" Zhuang Ming said: "This time, I only took Qian Yang and Yin Ming with me. I am always cautious, no matter what I do.

What's the matter? One of the two of them needs to be guarded by my side, so I can only choose one of them, Xuanfeng Valley Pass and the trail... If I hadn't known in advance that there were only two guards around me, how could I have used it?

Are you testing me in this way?"

"That's it." Lu He followed the young master for a while. With the young master's temperament, if he was brought with him this afternoon, then Qianyang would block the entrance of Xuanfeng Valley, and he would be sent to block the path.

All roads leading to Xuancheng are blocked, so there is no danger of missing.

"Don't be careless over there in Xuancheng." Zhuang Ming said sternly: "This boy from the Song family is even more difficult to deal with than the old head of the Song family. You must handle the matters I tell you personally."

"Okay." Lu He said hesitantly: "Then Manager Sun...do you want to deal with it?"

"Keep it." Zhuang Ming said: "Don't alert the snake. The boy from the Song family doesn't know that Manager Sun has been seen through by me. Sometimes, when words spread from our side, people don't believe it, but if Manager Sun eavesdrops, they will have to

It seems more credible."

"I understand." Lu He saluted and said, "I'll go to Xuancheng right away."

"Be careful with everything."

"knew."

As Lu He crossed the courtyard wall, a strange thought came to his mind.

The young master kept claiming that he called the other party a boy, but in fact, Song Tianyuan was four years older than the young master.

However, in recent years, those who have competed with the young master have been the powerful people of various families, people from the previous generation or even a higher generation. Unknowingly, the young master may have forgotten that he is also a young man himself.

Moreover... with the young master's current status, no one in power would regard him as a junior anymore.

And Zhuang Ming's eyes fell on this ancient book again.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to himself: "What an unexpected surprise."
