Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 256. 255. Sleep and the Fourth

Li House.

night.

Lord Huqiu faced Liu Wenmao who was opposite him, and said bluntly:
"I want you to do something for me."

"..."

Liu Wenmao was speechless. After glancing at Zhang Dasheng and Zhang Ersheng next to him, his eyes refocused on Mr. Huqiu.

Then, less than an hour later, the servant outside the door saw Liu Wenmao who was walking staggeringly, who seemed to have drunk a lot, stepped forward quickly, supported him, and walked on the sedan chair.

Although he is an official, he is not qualified to ride a carriage in this northern city.

After the adults sat down firmly, the four bearers got up and took Liu Wenmao away.

The inner court.

"My lord, in the afternoon, Master Xuan Dao sent someone to invite you to have a talk at Xiangshan Mountain tomorrow."

Hearing Xue Rulong's words, Mr. Huqiu, who was holding a cup in the pavilion in a daze, temporarily put back his scattered thoughts.

"Her?... What does she want from me?"

Xue Rulong whispered:

"In the afternoon, the empress went to Xiangshan. But it's not clear what we talked about. Our people are too far away to hear."

"..."

Hearing this, Master Huqiu thought for a moment in silence, then shook his head:

"You go there yourself, bring my words to her, and ask her: Is the new thing from last time good? If it sounds good, come and wait for me tomorrow at the Spring Friends Club at the East Gate Zhen Beast Pen."

"...?"

Xue Rulong was taken aback.

After thinking about it, he continued to whisper:
"But if the Taoist priest goes down to Xiangshan and enters the city, will there be too much movement?"

"So let her make a good disguise."

"But that Taoist..."

Xue Rulong seemed to want to say something, but Lord Huqiu waved his hand:
"Go straight, I care about the rest."

"……Yes."

The man stopped talking, nodded and left quickly.

As soon as he left, Li Zhong walked in from outside the courtyard, came to the front and back of the pavilion, and shouted:
"Miss, those two monsters have already returned to the house."

Master Huqiu responded:
"Well, Uncle Zhong, don't pay too much attention to these two monsters. It's good to be a servant in the mansion on weekdays. There is no need to shy away from everything, as if they don't exist."

Hearing this, Li Zhong thought for a while, then whispered:

"Is there something wrong... The little fox is just fine, his mind is quite simple. The big fox has something hidden in his heart."

"That's what's wrong."

Master Fox Fur's mouth slightly raised:

"The Qingqiu family is so smart... let's call them women. Their family is good at women's wisdom. Unlike us, most of the spies they send out are men. Women are rarely born as brains. Can come out Yes, either he is hopelessly stupid, and he doesn't feel sorry for dying. Or he just came out to see the world... That little fox looks stupid, but I can't tell whether it is innocent or really stupid. It may make a Accompanied by someone with a sharp mind, this kind of partner... is a bit strange in Qingqiu, who pays attention to the small to the big, and the empty-handed white wolf."

"...Miss is testing?"

"What is there to test with a group of monsters?"

Lord Huqiu shook his head, but he didn't explain any more, he just gave an order:
"Do as I said. If you have some information that can reveal the majesty of our human race on weekdays, you might as well disclose it to them. There is only one point to focus on..."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Li Zhong with extremely serious eyes:
"Uncle Zhong, you must let them understand. It is true that the human race has been in troubled times. But no matter how chaotic we are, they are not what they, the monster race that we drove out of Shenzhou, can covet. My brothers and their own affairs, shut up If outsiders dare to think wrongly... the one who beats the tiger is his own brother. When he goes into battle, he is still a father and son soldier!"

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhong was taken aback...

But after thinking about it a few times, I understood what Master Huqiu meant.

I completely understand.

So nodding:

"Yes."

Back away without a sound.

In the whole yard, only Master Huqiu was left.

The wine is like a silver screen, and the color is dark under the weak candlelight.

Master Huqiu put his white feet on the stone table again, feeling the coldness, his frown gradually relaxed a little.

Look up.

Drink up the wine in one sip.

"Ha~"

A leisurely sound meant that her spirit was completely relaxed at this moment.

Looking at the starry sky, gradually, her eyes became a little hollow.

Finally, in the cold night wind, he slowly closed his eyes.

……

About an hour later, Xue Rulong rushed back.

Just as he was going to report in the yard, Li Zhong stopped him.

"Miss is asleep, don't bother me."

"Asleep?"

Xue Rulong's eyes were full of surprise:

"So early?"

Li Zhong nodded and asked in a low voice:

"What's so good about the Spring Friends Club I went to today?"

"..."

Xue Rulong was taken aback again, the surprise in his eyes turned into a trace of absurdity:
"Uncle Zhong, what do you mean to say...the reason for Miss's insomnia today is related to that Taoist?"

"Otherwise? I fell asleep just after You Hour, and I haven't woken up yet. Miss can sleep so soundly. Do you remember the last time I saw you a few years ago?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xue Rulong's eyes dimmed instantly.

Looking in the direction of the backyard, he whispered:

"The night before... leaving home."

Li Zhong stopped talking and shook his head:

"Go to rest and be quiet."

"...Do you need a cover? Don't catch the cold."

"No, you go ahead, I will guard."

"...Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhong."

"Ah."

……

Early in the morning.

The north gate of Luoyang City.

"Stop those who come, turn in the tiger amulet, and set up camp in place!"

Accompanied by a dozen or so generals who came out from the north gate, the three thousand soldiers who looked dusty and dusty subconsciously stood up straight.

Then, three generals in armor walked out from the team, followed by four or five people.

The leader was a burly old man.

It was Shang Hanshan, the master of Leihumen in Pegasus City.

Shang Hanshan followed the three generals out alone, with a respectful expression.

What made him so respectful was not the dozen or so generals, but an old man with a clean face and white hair who was surrounded by the generals and was dressed in purple satin.

The chief servant of the imperial palace, the first-rank supervisor of Zhangxiang, and the fourth in the world——Huang Xizi!
He was obviously just a little old man in palace clothes. Although his face looked a bit feminine, there was nothing sinister about it.On the contrary, those eyebrows and eyes looked benevolent. If he didn't know that he was the fourth in the world, he might just be an ordinary rich man if he was thrown into the crowd.

But...as soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes would instinctively focus on him.

I can't move it at all.

The fourth in the world.

The real number four in the world.

Truly the fourth in the world.
