When he walked out of the house, Yao Ruoyu saw the two maids who Wu Xue had spoofed him waiting outside.

Seeing them coming out, the two maids quickly bowed and shouted Su Mei, who had gone out to call Hou Jingru, and said with a smile: "Young Master, are you going to the lobby?"

"Well," nodded slightly, Yao Ruoyu thought for a while and pondered, "The maid's previous statement was purely a spoof of my junior sister. I'm sorry here first, but I'm really not used to maids, so why don't you go back to your own house?"

His words were half classical Chinese and half vernacular. After hearing the two girls' confusion, they realized after a while. The woman who had to dress Yao Ruoyu had first bowed and knelt down and said in tears: "Young Master, do you dislike me and Su Mei? Although I, Chen Xiang, are from poor backgrounds, I also know how to repay kindness. You saved our sisters on the same day. We are all grateful to you. Therefore, when you know that you are going to take over the maid, we will come actively, without any intention of being coerced..."

"Yes!" Su Mei also knelt on the ground and choked, "You first saved our sisters, and then rescued the people of the city and retreated to the wildfire bandits. Now, no one in the city does not regard you as your benefactor... If someone knows that you will scold us, I'm afraid we will be stabbed day and night, calling us ungrateful wolf!"

Seeing that the two girls were crying and talking, Yao Ruoyu was sweating profusely, and quickly helped them up and said awkwardly: "Don't be so polite, it's not so exaggerating!"

"Brother Yao, they really didn't say exaggeration," Hou Jingru pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered, "You didn't see the day you were unconscious. Everyone knows that in order to save everyone, you fought against Wanyan Ye of the fifth level with the cultivation level of the third level. They were all very moved. Many people sent the medicinal materials from their homes to the City Lord's Mansion, saying that they were thanking you for your life-saving grace."

Yao Ruoyu felt a trembling heart when he heard this. The reason why he fought against Wanyan Ye was purely to occupy Hezhou City, which had almost nothing to do with saving the people. However, perhaps it was because there were not so many scheming and routines in this era. Everyone saw that he fought in blood to save people, so he was only grateful in his heart, and there was no conspiracy that whispered in later generations.

Taking a deep breath, Yao Ruoyu temporarily suppressed the touch in his heart, looked at the two girls, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Since that's the case, I won't drive you away. It's just that I haven't served my maid since I was a child, so there are some rules that I need to explain to you in the future to avoid embarrassment."

"Young Master, tell me." Su Mei was overjoyed when she heard this and asked quickly.

"Let's talk about these later. I'll go to the lobby first, you can do whatever you want." After giving a casual command, Yao Ruoyu pulled Hou Jingruxun away from the courtyard.

After walking out of the yard, Hou Jingru smiled and said, "Brother Yao, how about it? Are you very beautiful when two beauties begging to be your maid?"

"Beautiful! So beautiful!" Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said, "But the embarrassment is really embarrassing. Damn it, Wu Xue is dead. See if I see her, don't kill her!"

While talking, the two of them had already left the previous courtyard and walked into a corridor.

At this time, several servants and maids were near the corridor. When they saw Yao Ruoyu and Hou Jingru coming, they all showed joyful expressions, and then bent down from afar, with their expressions very respectful and respectful.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu's eyebrows full of confusion, Hou Jingru smiled and said, "You don't know. Yesterday, Mengmengda and his people repelled the wildfire thieves. After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, they began to deal with the backlog of government affairs in the City Lord's Mansion. As a result, she handled all the government affairs that had been accumulated for several months in one night. The group of staff and officials in the City Lord's Mansion were already impressed by her."

When Yao Ruoyu heard this, he knew that Xu Xuanrong was using the power of leading troops to repel the wild fire thieves and forcibly intervening in the government affairs of the City Lord's Mansion. However, he did not expect that Xu Xuanrong was so great that he handled the government affairs here in just one night, which won the respect of all his staff.

"But... what does this have to do with me?" Yao Ruoyu scratched his head and said curiously.

"Hehe, these two days, Mengmengda has caused Wuliang to send people to spread rumors in the city, praising you for how brave you are, and how you fought Wanyan Ye in blood to save everyone." With a smile, Hou Jingru's fox eyes were bent into two curves, "So now the people in the city regard you as a hero with unparalleled spirit!"

"Wait, what do rumors mean?"

He held her forehead and rubbed it hard until it rubbed Hou Jingru's head in a mess. Then Yao Ruoyu said with a smile: "I obviously have such an image! I can only say that everyone has correctly understood my image!"

Covering his head full of chaos, Hou Jingru pouted her mouth and said angrily: "It's just a rumor!"

Seeing her depressed look on her face, Yao Ruoyu laughed unconsciously. The depression of the martial arts and other things in his heart also disappeared. He felt refreshed and his perception of the human obstacle became more obvious.

As the two walked in the mansion, the servants and maids they saw along the way were extremely respectful to Yao Ruoyu. Yao Ruoyu, who practiced tricks, was very sensitive to the emotions of the soul and soul, and could clearly sense these respects completely from their hearts, without any disguise.

Feeling these emotions, Yao Ruoyu sighed without feeling. If he had to protect this city in order to plan for Hezhou City, then at this moment, he really hoped to protect the city in order to protect these people.

Just as Yao Ruoyu was feeling emotion in his heart, he and Hou Jingru had already arrived outside the side door of the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. He was about to push the door and go in when he heard a roar full of anger from inside: "This move by the Xu family is simply too deceptive!"

"Not bad! It would be fine if you didn't dare to defend the city before. At this moment, they were so shirkable and let them use some manpower and financial resources. They also injured the soldiers sent. Such actions... are they really bullying us and not touching them?"

"Be careful! After all, the Xu family has two spiritual masters of the fourth level of courage. If there is no evidence, you must not speak casually!"

"Hmph! Even if I don't say it, won't others think so?"

Hearing the argument in the room, Yao Ruoyu subconsciously stopped and listened carefully. If he remembered that it was nothing wrong, the ones who were arguing were Zhou Zhi, Wang Jin, Luo He and others, and the ones who were angrily shouting before was Wang Jin with the character of Pilihuo.

After careful consideration, Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, turned his head and whispered to Hou Jingru, "Don't tell others about my situation." After that, he pushed open the door of the house and walked in.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu suddenly pushed the door in, Luo He and others didn't feel surprised, while the people from the Literature and Art Department all showed joy. Chen Meng stepped forward quickly and said happily: "Brother Yao, are you awake?"

"Well, I just woke up, and I heard Jingru say you are here, so I came over." After answering, Yao Ruoyu turned his head and looked at Xu Xuanrong, and nodded with a smile, the latter nodded indifferently.

Although Xu Xuanrong looked calm, Yao Ruoyu secretly glanced at her as soon as he stepped into the room and clearly saw the joy passing by the former's face. However, she immediately suppressed the joyful look and did not let others show it.

Because Yao Ruoyu appeared, the discussion in the room was temporarily stopped for a while, but after Yao Ruoyu and everyone took a look, they sat down again and talked about the previous incident.

However, Xu Xuanrong did not intend to continue the discussion. He took out a booklet from his arms and threw it to Yao Ruoyu, and said calmly: "It's just right that you are here. If you have something to do, please come. I plan to recruit some young and strong guards from all ethnic groups in the city to fight against wildfire thieves, but the Xu family refused to obey orders and injured soldiers who went to collect soldiers and strong soldiers."

"Oh?" After taking the booklet and flipped it over, Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows, rolled it up and stuffed it into his pocket, then thought for a while, and said, "Let me lead the way, I'll go there."

"Yes." Xu Xuanrong nodded slightly, as if he agreed.

Yang Renjie, who was also in the room, immediately jumped up and said with a smile: "Old demon, I'll go with you."

"You stay," waved his hand, Yao Ruoyu said with a smile, "It should have been recruited some young and strong people? You and the mad dog stay, and you are responsible for forming these young and strong people into a team to avoid the battle in the future."

"Then I'll go with you!" Wu Xue quickly poked her head out and laughed, "I'm fine anyway."

"It's done!" After looking at Wu Xue, Yao Ruoyu thought for a moment, thinking that this guy was useless to stay here, and it would be okay to go with him. He agreed immediately.

"I'll go too!" Hou Jingru suddenly said, "Didn't the Xu family hurt the sent people? I went over and healed them."

Xu Xuanrong nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay."

Although Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong spoke indifferently, they showed a bit of indescribable tacit understanding. After a few words, they decided on the matter.

Bai Qiuyu, who saw this, subconsciously frowned, and then showed a bitter smile. Bai Junru, who was sitting beside him, suddenly frowned, and looked at Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong thoughtfully, with a bit of contemplative light passing through his eyes.

Although there were Hou Jingru, Wu Xue and Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong still arranged two soldiers to accompany them and guide the two of them by the way. After all, neither Yao Ruoyu nor Wu Xue recognized the location of the Xu family.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Yao Ruoyu, Wu Xue and Hou Jingru went to the location where the Xu family was under the guidance of the two soldiers.

Yao Ruoyu had already known about the Xu family. Before the rise of the Wildfire Thieves, Black Wolf Cavalry, Taoyuan Gang and other forces, the Luo family to which Luo He belongs, and the Bai family to which Bai Junru belongs, and the Xu family to which the Xu family belongs, are both the three major families in Hezhou City, and are considered one of the most prosperous families of the city lord.

The Xu family is a family of merchants. Many shops in the two cities of Hezhou and Diaoyu are owned by the Xu family, so the financial resources of this family are also among the major forces in Hezhou. Relying on their strong financial resources, they also recruited a fourth-level strongman as a guest official. At the same time, there are several third-level warriors in their family as vassals, which is considered to be of great strength.

However, even with such strength, the Xu family never exerted a single force when Diaoyu City was besieged before, and they just sat down and watched Diaoyu City be surrounded by bandits.

"By the way, why has the Xu family been unwilling to cooperate with their efforts before?" Suddenly, Hou Jingru asked curiously, "If the city is broken, won't they be attacked?"

"I think it's because I'm worried that my family's losses will be too big!" Yao Ruoyu sighed, "After all, neither the White Wolf Club nor the Wild Fire Thieves can fight against them, so instead of participating in resisting and angering the bandits, it's better to stick to your own mansion. Maybe you can deal with the three and four realms in your family."

"But, he is really a fool!" Shaking his head, Yao Ruoyu laughed, "If the city is really broken, with the wealth of the Xu family, it will be enough to attract the White Wolf Association and the covetous wildfire thieves, just three and four realms, how could it be possible to stop these bandits?"

"It may have been because of these concerns at first, but it's not necessarily true now!" Wu Xue, who was gnawing on a duck leg, smiled and said, "Maybe they heard that Yang Yiming is gone and they want to compete for the throne of the city lord, so they don't follow Mengmengda's arrangement."

Yao Ruoyu felt aroused when he heard this. Just as he was about to agree, he frowned and turned his head to look at Wu Xue, but saw the latter being gnawing on the duck legs with a smile, which was no different from the past. It seemed that the words just now were just casually said.

Seeing this scene, Yao Ruoyu reached out to hold his glasses and turned around with some confusion, but did not notice the trace of cunning and complacent passing through Wu Xue's eyes.
