Chapter 33 Test

After bringing back the colorful clothes from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Han Xu has not been out for eleven days.

During these eleven days, except for New Year's Eve, Han Xu spent most of his time in his small yard, and even the food was brought to him in neon clothes.

So, when Nishang heard that Han Xu was going to take her out for dinner, she thought he was going to have a big meal somewhere.

Unexpectedly, Han Xu just pulled her out of the door wearing plain pajamas.

After coming out, Nishang realized that what Han Xu said about going out to eat was just xiaolongbao at the door.

Han Xu casually pulled out a chair and sat down, and said to the old man selling steamed buns: "Two cages of steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk."

"Okay!" the old man shouted, and soon brought over the hot steamed dumplings.

"Young Master hasn't been out for several days," the old man said.

"Well, I heard about the outbreak of influenza outside recently, so I thought it would be safer to stay at home. After all, I don't know how to practice and I am weak." Han Xu said casually.

Nishang lowered her head, feeling a little confused.

There was no flu outside. It was clearly because Han Xu was in a bad mood and was hiding at home not wanting to go out.

What makes Nishang strange is why Han Xu made a special trip to explain to an old man selling steamed buns, and even made up a completely unreliable reason for this.

Nishang looked at the old man next to her and felt goosebumps on her body for no reason.

Years of training as a killer have made Nishang unusually sensitive to threats.

Nishang felt a hint of threat from this old man. At first glance, this old man’s eyes were dull and slovenly. He was the type that would not be recognized in a crowd. But when Nishang wanted to release his spirit When I was testing my consciousness, I felt a pressure coming on me.

Her spiritual consciousness felt like being pricked by needles. This feeling did not disappear until she put away her thoughts of temptation.

"Expert, this old man is definitely an expert." Nishang sighed secretly, "It seems that there are many people paying attention to Han Xu. He is worthy of being the son of King Han. Although he cannot practice, he is still worthy of being underestimated."

"What a beautiful girl, sir, you are so lucky!" The old man selling buns suddenly looked at Nishang and exclaimed with a smile.

Nishang's face turned red, and she glanced at Han Xu from the corner of her eye, only to see him taking a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of soy milk.

Nishang could only say in a low voice: "Old man, don't get me wrong, I'm just the young master's maid."

The old man didn't say anything, he just showed a smile that you understand, I understand, everyone understands, no matter how you look at it, it looks vulgar.

"Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it gets cold later." Han Xu pushed a basket of steamed buns in front of Nishang and said.

The old man smiled and walked shakily back to the stove, playing with the pots and pans.

After Han and Xu finished eating and left, he took out his small notebook and recorded the latest situation.

"It is confirmed that Nishang is a maid. It is speculated that Xiaoxiang Pavilion is using it to show favor to Han Xu and also serves as an informant."

Above this item, the time when Lin Feng went out was written.

"Lin Feng, I went out at Chenshi. I was alone and dressed up, but I didn't set up a carriage."

After Han Xu returned, he sat in the yard and lazily basked in the sun.

Nishang, on the other hand, was burning incense and making tea. Before long, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of tea.

"Master, drink tea." Nishang handed over the hot tea and said curiously, "There seems to be something wrong with the old man selling xiaolongbao at the door."

"Oh?" Han Xu said in surprise, "Then tell me what's wrong."

"This street is full of dignitaries, so the management is very strict. He is the only one who can set up shop on the street, and it is right at your door."

"Perhaps he has some relatives and friends in the government."

"But the problem is, except for you, the young master, no one living on this street seems to eat the food from his breakfast shop. Master, if you think about it carefully, the business of his bun shop is not very good."

"What you said is true." Han Xu nodded and said with more appreciation and expectation in his eyes.

"In my opinion, his income cannot cover basic living expenses, but the meat filling he uses to make buns is extremely fresh, and it is even carefully selected high-quality meat. This kind of meat can only be eaten by wealthy people. Affordable.”

Han Xu listened quietly and agreed with Nishang's analysis in his heart.

Today's meal was specially brought by Han Xu with Nishang. The purpose was to see Nishang's observation ability.

In just one meal, Nishang was able to find so many problems, and Han Xu was very satisfied.

"When I became suspicious, I thought about testing it with my spiritual sense, but in the end I instinctively felt the danger." Nishang said, "The young master may not know that Nishang has been practicing assassination since he was a child. Although he has a stupid talent, he has also stepped into the world of assassination. The realm of the sixth grade.”

"Furthermore, because of my cultivation, my intuition is more accurate than that of ordinary people. Therefore, I will not be mistaken. The old man is a master, and his strength is definitely higher than mine." Nishang said with certainty.

She thought that Han Xu didn't know her level, but she didn't know that everything about her was already under Han Xu's control. Even her skills were learned by Han Xu, and he far surpassed her.

"What's your conclusion?" Han Xu asked leisurely after listening to Nishang's story.

"I think his purpose here is to monitor your every move."

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Han Xu clapped his hands and said, "You can get such accurate results in one meal. It's very good, not bad."

Nichang saw Han Xu's expression and suddenly realized.

"Have these young masters known about this? Are you testing me?"

"That old man has been selling buns here for six years. If I can't see anything unusual, wouldn't I be as stupid as a pig?"

"Do you know who sent him?"

"I haven't thought about it carefully. After all, he has been quite well behaved over the years and hasn't done anything out of the ordinary."

Nichang hesitated, but after some hesitation, she said, "Young master, I don't think this old man was arranged by an ordinary force."

"What do you mean?"

"After all, your previous performance..." Nichang's voice became smaller and smaller, and Han Xu simply added, "A waste like me is not worth wasting six years of time, disguised as a street vendor and monitored day and night, right?"

Nichang didn't say it, but she acquiesced.

Han Xu's reputation as a waste was spread throughout the royal city. In the first one or two years after he came, many people secretly observed him, but when they confirmed that he was indeed a waste, they no longer paid special attention to him.

Even a force like Xiaoxiang Pavilion only asked Nichang to keep a little attention and not take the initiative.

But this old man selling buns has been in front of Han Xu's house for six years.

It is impossible for ordinary forces to let such a master spend six years to monitor a waste.

First, it shows that Han Xu is very important to them, regardless of whether he is a waste or not, and second, it also shows that this force has unimaginable strength.

There are not many forces that can meet these two conditions at the same time.

"Then who do you think will send him?"

"I'm just a brothel girl, how can I guess it?"

"You can guess it, say it boldly, I won't tell anyone else." Han Xu stared at Nichang's eyes and encouraged her to speak out.

In fact, Han Xu already had his own analysis. The reason why he wanted Nichang to speak out was to test Nichang's attitude towards him.

"Your Majesty!" Nichang hesitated for a while, but still lowered her voice and said.

Han Xu made a gesture of silence with satisfaction. The fact that Nichang could say these two words showed that Han Xu had a place in her heart, otherwise Nichang would never say it out loud at the risk of being blamed.

This was Han Xu's most important test for Nichang.

Next, Han Xu changed the topic, and the atmosphere between the two became much more relaxed.

Not long after, Lin Feng came back with the packed wine and food.

Han Xu asked casually, "Are you having fun?"

Lin Feng said coolly, "It's not much fun, why not follow the young master."

Nichang didn't know what the master and servant were talking about, but she felt that there was a hint of evil in Lin Feng's eyes.
