Catching Monsters

Chapter 25: What kind of ecstasy soup was poured into me?

Qian Buchou's face was stiff and he twitched the corners of his mouth. He cursed in his heart, this kid is even greedier than he thought.

But he likes it!
People who like money are the easiest to deal with. It should be clear and explicit about how much money you give and how much work you get done.

On the contrary, the people who always talk about family and country, and who refuse to accept money for doing things at critical moments, are the ones Qian Buchou hates the most.

"Okay!" Qian Buchou said without much thought.

"When is Captain Qian planning to set off?" Jiang Yun took a look and saw that it was still early in the morning, so it was still relatively early.

"Of course the sooner the better."

Jiang Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "I have to go to Nanmanju first to ask for help."

"Master Xu?"

Jiang Yun smiled faintly. He had a better candidate in mind and said, "No."

Qian Buchou's fast horse was tied to the gate of the yard: "Let's go, I'll take Brother Jiang to Nanmanju, and I'll also ask a few constables to go to your house and help fill these holes."

Jiang Yun said hello to Jiang Qiaoqiao and said he was going out.

Then follow Qian Buchou and get back on your feet.

"Can you ride slower? We're not in a hurry."

"Don't worry buddy, my horse is notoriously slow."

"drive!"

A jolt of galloping horses.

This further strengthened Jiang Yun's determination to learn horse riding.

In the Tianzi Room of Nanmanju, Xu Suwen sat by the window, wiping his sword and looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.

Xu Xiaogang was sitting at the table, holding a brush in his mouth and in front of him was a piece of rice paper with his poem written on it.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to revise the poem to make it more elegant.

Xu Suwen, who was wiping his knife, suddenly asked, "Why did Jiang Yun, a fifth-rank Guardian Realm expert, appear in Nanzhou Prefecture, and why is there no file on him in the capital?"

Xu Xiaogang, who was studying poetry, raised his head and grinned, "Sister, I rarely see you pondering over someone like this."

Xu Suwen didn't pay attention to his words, and said, "He is a fifth-rank guardian of the realm, and he is still so young. If he came from one of the three major Taoist temples in the capital, he can't be an unknown person."

"Unless... he learned the taoism somewhere else."

Having said this, Xu Suwen's voice lowered a little, not daring to think further.

All the Taoist temples outside the capital were listed as traitors. If Jiang Yun came from these Taoist temples, he was probably a traitor.

If this is reported and caught by someone with ulterior motives, Jiang Yun will be regarded as a walking meritorious person in the eyes of these people.

Xu Xiaogang couldn't help but remind him: "Sister, if this is really the case, you have to stay away from him. You know the situation in our family."

"It will be very troublesome if we get involved with the evil ways outside Beijing."

"Am I very close to him?" Xu Suwen glared at him.

Xu Xiaogang lowered his head and continued to study the poem, saying nonchalantly: "It's ok to fool your brother, but don't fool yourself."

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses was heard from the street in the distance.

"Jiang Yun is here." Xu Suwen frowned slightly when he saw Jiang Yun on horseback, his eyes turning white due to the shaking, and his hands tightly holding Qian Buchou's arm.

Xu Xiaogang also hurried to the window, frowned and reminded, "Sister, don't forget what you just said. We two siblings need to stay away from him."

"I know it in my heart."

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door outside. Xu Xiaogang walked forward lazily and opened the door. Jiang Yun held on to the door frame, a little unsteady.

"Why are you here?" Xu Su asked, frowning slightly, then said, "I..."

Jiang Yun waved his hand and pointed at Xu Xiaogang at the door: "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see him."

Xu Suwen was stunned. "Ah? What do you want from me?" Xu Xiaogang acted like a master, waved his hands, sat down at the table, and said calmly, "I know you well?"

Jiang Yun sat down at the table and said with a smile, "I want to ask for your help. There is a monster in Beihu County, and I want to go investigate with Qian Buchou. I will feel more at ease with an expert by my side."

Xu Suwen was standing next to him and couldn't help but remind him, "Am I not a master?"

"Of course you are, but I have troubled Miss Xu so many times, I am really sorry to ask you to help again."

Jiang Yun then looked at Xu Xiaogang and said, "What's more, I have something that Brother Xu wants."

Jiang Yun had met Xu Suwen many times and knew that Xu Suwen was a person who liked to negotiate conditions.

If you ask her for help, you will definitely have to pay a certain price and make an equal exchange.

After thinking about it, I decided that Xu Xiaogang was quite capable and I could give him what he wanted.

Xu Xiaogang crossed his arms, glanced at Jiang Yun, and said slowly: "How shameless! You only know a few Taoist spells. What can you have that I need?"

"Have you forgotten that I am still a scholar?" Jiang Yun looked down at the rice paper on the table, took it, and then started writing on it with a brush.

"How dare you scribble on my poems?"

"You are simply adding unnecessary details by doing this!"

It was obvious that Jiang Yun was not interested in making any changes to his poem, but instead wrote a new paragraph on the rice paper.

Then he handed it to Xu Xiaogang and said, "Take a look, Brother Xu. I know you like to say a few words to enhance your style when you appear on stage. Is this paragraph stylish enough?"

I took the rice paper and looked at the words on it.

Gradually, Xu Xiaogang's breathing became rapid. He stared at Jiang Yun with wide eyes and asked, "Did you write this?"

"Don't worry about whether I wrote it or not, I just want to ask if it's cool enough."

"Since you are helping me on this trip, you can use this passage as you wish."

"Is this a good deal?"

Xu Xiaogang looked at Jiang Yun with a warm look, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yun's wrist: "When are we going to leave?"

Xu Suwen in the room couldn't help coughing and reminded Xu Xiaogang: "Have you forgotten what we just talked about?"

This bastard, before Jiang Yun came, this guy reminded himself to stay away from Jiang Yun, but now he is sticking closely to Jiang Yun.

She couldn't help but look at the rice paper with some curiosity, wondering what Jiang Yun had written.

Just one sentence can make Xu Xiaogang's attitude change 180 degrees.

Xu Xiaogang carefully put the rice paper away, put it in his chest, and said, "Sister, I always say that helping others brings joy, and I enjoy it..."

Jiang Yun looked at Xu Suwen and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, I would like to trouble you for a moment."

When Xu Suwen heard that Jiang Yun wanted to ask her for help, she felt relieved.

After this guy came into the room, he left himself aside. Did he finally remember that he was still there?

She acted a little reserved, looked out the window, and said in a deep voice: "Do I have to help you just because I know you well?"

Xu Xiaogang: "Sister, Jiang Yun is not an outsider, why are you so stingy?"

Xu Suwen clenched his fists, turned around and glared at Xu Xiaogang, "What a bastard!"
What kind of magic potion did Jiang Yun feed him?

Jiang Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "I have to leave the city for a while. I am a little worried about leaving Jiang Qiaoqiao alone at home, so I want her to come here and stay with you for a few days."

Xu Suwen's heart was slightly moved, but he still said stubbornly: "Humph, I won't help you."

"But I get along quite well with that girl Qiaoqiao. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still like to bring her over to keep me company for a few days."

Jiang Yun's face lit up: "Really? If that's the case, then I don't owe you a favor."

Xu Xiaogang also helped out and said, "It doesn't count!"

Xu Suwen pulled out his steel knife: "Get out of here!!!"
