Main Text Chapter 1055: Confidant!

At this time, housekeeper Liu Rong reminded her, and Butterfly hurried to greet him.

"No need to be polite!" Kou Mian smiled slightly, turned around and sat behind the desk, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down and talk!"

He was approachable and looked humble, but in fact, for some people, being humble was the biggest arrogance, because the status of both parties was too different. You don't need to put on airs with you, and you know what you are. You can win a good reputation without offending others and make people look up to you respectfully. That's the real arrogance, and there's no need to put on.

Hua Hudie sat down respectfully, and she was a little confused about what the Third Master Kou wanted to see her about. It was inconvenient for her to meet the Kou family directly. If she hadn't been summoned from above, she wouldn't have appeared directly in the Heavenly King's Palace.

Kou Mian smiled and said the same thing, "You are Old Tang's subordinate. Logically, I have no right to ask you about anything. But since I let you come here, I think you should understand it in your heart. Don't worry, I won't ask about things that you shouldn't ask. Don't be nervous. I won't embarrass you."

"Yes!" Hua Hudie nodded slightly, "I have received instructions."

"Then I won't beat around the bush." ​​Kou Mian went straight to the point: "I heard that you know Niu Youde?"

"Niu Youde?" Hua Hudie was stunned and tried to ask: "Third Master, are you asking about the Niu Youde who won the first place in this assessment?"

"It's him!" Kou Mian nodded.

"I have only met him once or twice, and basically never talked. I can't say that I know him very well." Hua Hudie answered honestly, but she was muttering in her heart, why did she ask Niu Youde?

Speaking of this Niu Youde. She was also quite emotional when she learned the news later. She never thought that the guy could win the first place in the Heavenly Court assessment. It turned out that only unusual people can do unusual things.

Kou Mian was also confused. I didn't even say anything, so what does it matter? What does Old Tang want me to ask? But since Old Tang said he could use it, there must be a reason. So I patiently asked, "What do you think of Niu Youde?"

Hua Hudie hesitated, thinking that he was your son's subordinate. Doesn't your son know him better than I do? Try to ask, "What does Third Master mean?"

Kou Mian smiled at the housekeeper Liu Rong, and Liu Rong immediately said, "Don't be restrained. Just say whatever you know."

"Yes!" Hua Hudie nodded, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Although I have little contact with this person. I have only met him once or twice, but the ability he has shown is indeed incomparable to ordinary people. Although his cultivation is not high, he is brave and resourceful, courageous, smart and adaptable, and has a lot of courage and vision in doing things. He has what others can't do. He is indeed a hero!"

"Oh! The evaluation is so high!" Kou Mian was quite surprised. Immediately, she said with great interest: "Since you are not familiar with him and have never spoken to him, why do you give such a high evaluation?"

"It's like this..." Hua Hudie first laid out the situation when she first met Miao Yi and others. She said that she didn't see anything special about Miao Yi at that time, and it was the point when Miao Yi went to Wangyou Forest alone.

Hearing that Miao Yi took the risk alone with the cultivation of the first rank of Golden Lotus, and having never met Ban Yuegong and his wife and not knowing the couple at all, she cleverly used words to stimulate and test the couple's leverage points, and then coerced and lured Ban Yuegong and his wife, and calmly responded to Ban Yuegong's threat to kill. She cleverly used Qingmei to subdue Ban Yuegong, and calmly took in the cultivators of the ninth rank of Golden Lotus and the fifth rank of Golden Lotus for her own use. To help her assessment.

Kou Mian and housekeeper Liu Rong looked at each other in surprise. Others went to catch the fugitive, but that guy actually used the fugitive's handle as a lever to persuade the fugitive to help him catch the fugitive. He showed his means and courage in his maneuvers. He was really brave and resourceful, and he was very courageous!

At this time, the two could also imagine that Miao Yi was forced to do so. Kou Wenlan could not use too many resources of the Kou family, and the support was limited. There were only a few people, unlike Kou Wenhuang's men who used the resources of the Kou family to gather a group of people in the land of no life to help. And those people had low cultivation. It was so difficult to catch the wife of a ninth-grade cultivator of the Golden Lotus. It would be strange if they didn't fight you desperately. But Niu Youde did the opposite and directly subdued the couple together. It was really amazing.

Hua Hudie then talked about the situation of contacting Qingmei later. After Ban Yuegong and his wife left, she was also a little worried that Miao Yi would lure the couple out of the nest before killing them. Who knew that from Qingmei's mouth, Miao Yi not only did not break his promise, but generously gave the red crystal armor given by Kou Wenlan to Ban Yuegong for self-defense, giving the couple a way out, which completely made the couple return to their hearts. From that moment on, the couple decided to sincerely help Miao Yi.

As for hiding in the two polar stars afterwards, Qingmei did not mention it much. At that time, it was related to everyone's safety. If someone found it, it would be very troublesome, so naturally she did not tell Hua Hudie.

After listening to the story before and after, Kou Mian tapped the table lightly with his five fingers, and his thoughts seemed to be still immersed in Hua Hudie's narration. After coming back to his senses, he paused with his five fingers and smiled, "Anything else? That's all?"

Hua Hudie replied, "I haven't had much contact with him, and that's all I know. I also heard that he won the first place in the Heavenly Court Assessment. I think the Third Master knows more about this than I do."

"Thank you!" Kou Mian smiled and nodded, then signaled to the housekeeper Liu Rong, who immediately took out a storage ring and gave it to Hua Hudie as a reward.

Hua Hudie knew that this was the time to see him off, so she stood up and said goodbye, and Liu Rong personally saw her off.

When he came back, he saw Kou Mian walking back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back. Liu Rong said, "Third Master, send him off."

Kou Mian nodded to show that he understood, and then stood in front of the bookshelf and sighed, "I originally thought that Niu Youde was only good at business, but now it seems that there is a reason why he can promote the Zhengqi Grocery Store. Such a person who is both intelligent and brave and knows how to adapt can gain a foothold wherever he goes. No wonder Old Tang specially reminded him that this person will stay with Wen Lan and will definitely be a great help to Wen Lan in the future. It will be very helpful for Wen Lan to have this person assisting her!"

Liu Rong smiled and said, "Those who can attract Old Tang's attention are naturally not too bad, but the Kou family is not short of people who like to fight and kill. With that person's cultivation level, he is not up to the standard, and it is not worth Old Tang to recruit. Old Tang reminded Third Master, isn't it because he thinks that person is suitable to assist the young master, and he also wants to be included in the Kou family to slowly cultivate him."

As soon as the words fell here, the joyful voice of Shu Huanniang suddenly came from outside, seemingly wanting to let everyone in the Tianwang Mansion know.

Liu Rong listened and smiled, "The young master is back!"

"Let him come over." Kou Mian laughed.

Liu Rong went to announce it. Not long after, Shu Huanniang and Kou Wenlan came in together. Both mother and son were in good spirits. People are in high spirits when they are happy.

After Kou Wenlan greeted him, Kou Mian waved to Shu Huanniang and said, "You go out first."

"What for?" Shu Huanniang, who liked her son so much, froze in her smile and said unhappily, "What shameful words can't I listen to?"

Kou Mian said, "Men's affairs, you women should not interfere."

Shu Huanniang glared, "What do you mean?"

Kou Mian: "Nothing, just your big mouth, what you should and shouldn't say can be spread to everyone in the world, can I be afraid of you?"

"Ah!" Shu Huanniang screamed and started to complain.

The three men present knew how to deal with her, let her talk and scold as much as she could, anyway, she didn't talk back, one by one, they were calm and composed, and when she had vented enough, she really left angrily.

As soon as the gossiper left, Kou Mian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at his son: "I don't need to tell you, your mother has already told you, right?"

Kou Wenlan smiled shyly and nodded.

Kou Mian said: "After listening to your uncle's arrangements, go back to Tianyuan Star as soon as possible to hand over. Remember to bring your subordinate Niu Youde with you. The Emperor's intention is obvious. It's not a bad thing to have more useful people under your command."

"Yes! Niu Youde will naturally be brought with him. He has made an indelible contribution to winning the first place this time. I will also take the other two with me. By the way, Dad, speaking of Niu Youde, he asked me for something, and I have promised him. I hope Dad can fulfill it!" Kou Wenlan immediately told Miao Yi about his intention to overturn Su Lu'er's case.

Hearing this, Kou Mian and Liu Rong smiled at each other.

Seeing the two men laughing strangely, Kou Wenlan asked curiously, "Dad, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong?"

Kou Mian laughed even more happily and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, I just think your subordinate is a man of affection and trust. I feel at ease with such a man around you." Turning back, he said, "Old Liu, you should do this yourself. Get it done for Wenlan as soon as possible, so that he can go back and explain to Niu Youde. Since you want to recruit him, you should take his affairs seriously and make him loyal and a confidant!"

"Yes!" Liu Rong smiled and said, "I will do it immediately and get it done before the young master goes back!"

In the following days of Tianwang Mansion, Kou Wenlan's smugness and Kou Wenhuang's loneliness formed a sharp contrast. They were pestered by a group of women from the Kou family and asked questions...

Tianyuan Star, Tianjie, and the merchants who came and went clearly found that the East City Gate today was very different from usual. A large number of heavenly soldiers and generals were blocked here, each wearing bright armor, with swords and guns like a forest, which frightened people so much that they dared not go in and out easily. Those who had a guilty conscience temporarily avoided the edge.

A group of people are naturally welcoming Miao Yi and others back. Now that Miao Yi and others have won the first place in the assessment and have been rewarded by the Emperor of Heaven, it is no longer a secret and has been spread to everyone. We have contacted Miao Yi and others and know that they will arrive today, so the welcoming scene is very grand.

On the tower, Lanxiang, the second chief steward of the city palace, is sitting in the attic and drinking tea.

She is called the second chief steward because the chief steward is in the Marquis's Mansion, beside the Marquis of Tianyuan, and she is here with the lady and is the housekeeper here.

Madam Biyue rarely returns to the Marquis's Mansion. Once she goes there, she must stay for a while. Although she did not come back, she sent a message to Lanxiang, the second chief steward, asking her to personally welcome Miao Yi and others back, and told her not to neglect it.

In this regard, Lanxiang, the second chief steward, was quite puzzled. Is it necessary for a small commander below to be so humble?

Despite the doubts, she still obeyed the order! (To be continued)
