Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

"Are Aunt and Pang Da here?"

Xu Ming felt a little surprised. Xu Ming knew that Xu Pangda would come back today, and also felt that Xu Pangda might come to him after he came back, but it was quite late.

Besides, even if Pang Da comes to visit me, Aunt shouldn't come with him.

This shows that they must have something going on.

Xu Ming said to the maid: "Please invite Aunt and Pang Da in."

"Yes, sir."

Que'er bowed and retreated.

Looking at the back of the maid leaving, Xu Ming knew that this maid must be from the Martial Emperor, and was sent by the Martial Emperor to monitor him, but it didn't matter, he could monitor him if he wanted to.

However, it must be said that this maid does have some skills, and she manages the entire mansion in an orderly manner.

After a while, Madam Wang and Xu Pangda walked in together.

When Xu Pangda saw Xu Ming, his eyes lit up, and he hurried forward and said happily: "Fifth Brother, you are back."

Xu Ming nodded, smiling at Xu Pangda: "Third Brother, long time no see, you seem to have lost some weight after all these years."

Xu Ming touched Xu Pangda's shoulder. Indeed, compared to before, the fat on Xu Pangda's body seemed to be much less.

From this, it can be seen that he must have been under a lot of pressure being an official these years, and he often moves around.

And seeing Xu Pangda again, Xu Ming was actually quite happy in his heart.

There are not many people Xu Ming cares about in Wudu, and Xu Pangda is one of them.

However, if it weren't for those people he cared about in Wudu, Xu Ming felt that he would not have returned to this place.

"Xu Ming, sorry to bother you so late."

Wang Feng, who was standing on the side, said.

During this journey to the Jinyiwei Commandery, Wang Feng also broke away from her angry emotions.

After Wang Feng came back to her senses, she also understood why the old lady wanted to persuade her.

Although the assassination of court officials is one of the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei.

But Xu Ming has not taken over yet.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei is waiting to be rebuilt, and Xu Ming has a lot of things to deal with now.

She should indeed be bothering other people now, instead of coming to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming stood up and bowed to Madam Wang and Xu Pangda: "Aunt, did something happen that you came so late?"

Xu Ming asked.

Under normal circumstances, even if Xu Pangda missed him, he should have come alone, and Aunt shouldn't have come with him.

In addition, Xu Pangda was covered in mud, and even his clothes were torn.

This shows that something must have happened.

Wang Feng shook her head: "It's okay, Ming'er, I just came to see you."

Xu Ming smiled: "Aunt, we are all family, what can't we say to each other? Besides, Third Brother is like this now, something must have happened."

Wang Feng sighed: "Pang Da was assassinated in the suburbs when he returned to Beijing."

" ."

Xu Ming frowned, his expression solemn.

Not to mention that Xu Pangda is the young master of the Xu Kingdom Mansion.

Xu Pangda is the top scholar in the imperial examination! He is also an official of the imperial court!

Who on earth has the guts to assassinate an official of the Wu Kingdom?

The last time an official of the Wu Kingdom went to a sect to investigate some things, the official was burned to death.

After Emperor Wu found out, he directly flattened the sect!

Everyone knows that the officials of the Wu Kingdom are not to be trifled with!

"Third Brother, tell me about the specific situation. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter." Xu Ming said to Xu Pangda, and then comforted his aunt, "Aunt, don't worry, have a cup of tea first."

"Okay."

Wang Feng nodded and sat on the stone bench.

Then Xu Pangda told Xu Ming about the course of events, including a female knight saving him.

Xu Ming didn't care about Xu Pangda being rescued by a female knight. He could only say that Pang Da was really lucky that he didn't die.

"Something's not right."

Xu Ming thought for a while and shook his head.

"According to Third Brother's description, if you offended some people when you were a magistrate, you should have died on the road, not in the suburbs of the capital.

If it's because of my political enemies, they are even less likely to trouble you, Third Brother.

Killing you, Third Brother, is useless. If you die, Third Brother, it will not only invite my revenge, but even His Majesty will be furious.

I really don't know what the other party is doing this for, besides looking for death, what else is there?"

Wang Feng also nodded: "That's true, could it be that this matter is just a coincidence, and the other party just happened to be a murderer?"

Xu Ming smiled: "The other party obviously came for Third Brother, and there were even people responding. Such a person is not for money, and cannot be a murderer. The other party just wanted to kill Third Brother."

Wang Feng: " ."

Xu Ming looked at Xu Pangda: "Third Brother, I will definitely investigate this matter, but there are too few clues, and it is very likely that this matter will end without a trace. Please forgive me, Third Brother."

"Fifth Brother, what are you talking about? This matter is not easy to investigate in the first place. I also know that it's okay even if you don't find it. Aren't I still alive and well?" Xu Pangda laughed heartily.

In Xu Pangda's heart, there must be a sense of anger.

After all, he was assassinated, so how could he not be angry?

It's just that on the way here, Xu Pangda also learned that Fifth Brother is now the commander of the Jinyiwei and is very busy. He really shouldn't be adding trouble to Fifth Brother.

"Ming'er, you should deal with your own affairs first, don't take this matter to heart." Wang Feng also said to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming nodded, looking at Wang Feng and Xu Pangda: "Aunt and Third Brother haven't had dinner yet, have you? I haven't eaten either. Why don't we eat something? It just so happens that we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a drink and chat."

Wang Feng smiled: "What am I doing here while you two brothers chat? I'll go back first. I have to apologize to the old lady. I was a little impolite just now."

"Then I'll see Aunt off." Xu Ming stood up.

"No need to see me off, it's not like I don't know the way." Wang Feng stood up, still as decisive as ever, "I'm leaving."

Xu Ming watched Wang Feng gradually walk away and couldn't help but smile: "Aunt is still so efficient in doing things, Xue Nuo is very similar to Aunt in this regard."

"Eh?" Xu Pangda said in surprise, "Fifth Brother, have you met Xue Nuo?"

"I've met her." Xu Ming nodded.

"How is my sister doing, is she okay?" It had been more than ten years since Xu Pangda had last seen his sister.

"She's doing very well." Xu Ming smiled, "And Xue Nuo is very beautiful now, but her personality is still as cold as before."

"Achoo."

Outside the imperial city, on a tree, Xu Xue Nuo sneezed.
