Chapter 23 Shelter
Tang Nineteen had nothing to do, but he still listened to Xie Jiuxiao's words and said, "I'll go back and report to my lord."

The small umbrella couldn't cover the two of them, Xie Jiuxiao tilted the umbrella, and the corners of their clothes had already been splashed with mud and water, and their figures disappeared into the alley.

Xie Jiuxiao held an umbrella and said, "You deliberately sent Shijiu away, where are you taking me?"

Lu Chengfeng remained silent, and the two walked along the dark alley. Xie Jiuxiao pursed his lips, and was about to ask again, when Lu Chengfeng suddenly stopped. She hesitated for a moment, or should she say? :"follow me."

Lu Chengfeng led the people through two alleys and stopped in front of a house.

Xie Jiuxiao looked up at the mansion plaque when Lu Chengfeng called the door.

Hu Fu.

In the middle of the night, the night watchman was woken up in a drowsy sleep, and opened a crack in the door with some annoyance: "Who is it?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded slightly, flashed the waist badge of the Xie Mansion, and said, "Excuse me, Lu Chengfeng has a life-threatening matter and needs to see Mr. Hu."

The little servant was half refreshed, looked at Lu Chengfeng suspiciously, and said, "Just wait, I'll pass it on."

The boy closed the door and temporarily stopped the two of them outside.

Xie Jiuxiao put away the umbrella and stood behind her, half of his body was drenched, hesitantly asked: "Master Hu? Which Lord Hu?"

He is familiar with the officials in Yanjing, but he is very sensitive to the officials with the surname Hu. He does not suspect him, because he is always admonished by him for his usual behavior. Because of some trivial things, such as when he knocked over pedestrians with his horse earlier, or that he and Wang Xiuwen once spent a lot of money just to buy a set of porcelain, or that he and Han Wenyan fought... the reason is that Xie Yunqian is not a good family Severe crime.

Lu Chengfeng didn't answer, she stood quietly in front of the door, her eyes still hesitating, but beyond the sound of rain in the distance, there were already footsteps searching along the street, she couldn't really let Xie Jiuxiao go to Jinyiwei, even if she knew The assassination has nothing to do with him, but the feud between Xie's family and Jinyiwei is there, Han Shushan will let Xie Jiuxiao walk out of Jinyiwei's gate safe and sound?
The little servant quickly went back and forth, opened half of the door to invite the two of them in, and said: "My lord is getting up, you two come with me."

Lu Chengfeng stepped in first, followed the young man and soon arrived at the front hall. The young man turned on the lamp and made two cups of hot tea. Just as Lu Chengfeng sat down, there were footsteps coming from the back of the hall. Came in a hurry in a robe.

Lu Chengfeng stood up and greeted him two steps: "Uncle Hu."

Seeing her in a mess, Hu Rong said with embarrassment, "What happened? Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

Lu Chengfeng informed the two of them of the emperor's assassination tonight and Jinyiwei's blockade of Chengnan Street, saying: "It is absolutely necessary to bother Uncle Hu, Chengfeng is ashamed."

Hu Rong waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be polite to you, Uncle Hu. I have no son or daughter under my knees, and I treat you like my own daughter. Hu's mansion is your home. Going back to my own home is nothing to bother you."

Lu Chengfeng smiled a little deeper, and said, "It's as long as Uncle Hu doesn't mind."

Hu Rong nodded, and then said: "The case of the Lu family has just been settled, and you have just escaped from the Lefang Division. It is really not appropriate to get involved in other disputes. You can stay at ease. I will send you off tomorrow after the matter is over. You go back."

Lu Chengfeng said happily: "Then there will be Uncle Laohu."

Seeing that she was safe, Hu Rong felt a little more at ease, and was about to call someone to give orders to the wing, when he raised his hand, as if he had just noticed that there was someone behind Lu Chengfeng, his eyes narrowed.

Xie Jiuxiao showed embarrassment, coughed twice, and said bravely, "I've seen Mr. Hu."

Hu Rong stared, as if seeing some plague god, his face changed slightly: "Xie Cen?"

Xie Jiuxiao rubbed his nose, laughed to ease the embarrassment, and said, "Master Hu has good eyesight, it's me."

Hu Rong stared: "You...why are you here?"

Xie Jiuxiao said innocently: "I followed her."

Hu Rong still stared: "You are such a big living person, what are you doing with Chengfeng!"

Xie Jiuxiao spread his hands helplessly: "She asked me to follow, and I don't have to come to Hu's residence."

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and Lu Chengfeng asked suspiciously, "...Who are you?"

Hu Rong waved his hands and said: "The Hu family temple can't accommodate the second young master Xie, you can go back wherever you came from!"

Xie Jiuxiao stood behind Lu Chengfeng and said, "She asked me to come, even if she drives me away, she has to drive me away."

Hu Rong blew his nose and stared: "This is my home!"

Xie Jiuxiao changed his past, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "I know, but you said it just now, this can be her home from now on, if she asks me to come, I will come, and if she asks me to go, I will come." Walk!"

Hu Rong scolded angrily: "Shameless child!"

Xie Jiuxiao snorted and said, "Stubborn old man!"

"...You!" Hu Rong was angry, it was the first time he met such an unreasonable person, and he held his breath in his heart: "You have no shame!"

Xie Jiuxiao's eyes were cold: "You..."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Thank you Jiuxiao!"

Xie Jiuxiao opened his mouth with an unwilling expression, but finally held back.

Hu Rong snorted heavily, and said, "Chengfeng, let him go! I get annoyed when I see him!"

Xie Jiuxiao leaned a little behind Lu Chengfeng, turned his head away and did not speak.

Lu Chengfeng said helplessly: "Uncle Hu, I don't know what the two of you have had in the past, but tonight, please save face. Jin Yiwei and Xie's family have had a long-standing grudge. If he is pushed out, the court will not be peaceful tomorrow." gone."

Hu Rong looked hesitant, and glanced at Xie Jiuxiao unwillingly. After a while, he said, "It's fine for him to stay, but I don't care where he sleeps. He wants to sleep in my Hu's bed. Hmph! There's no door!"

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help opening his mouth, Lu Chengfeng seemed to notice it, and glanced at the warning, Xie Jiuxiao swallowed it back.

Lu Chengfeng said, "Thank you, Uncle Hu."

Hu Rong didn't want to stay with Xie Jiuxiao again, so he ordered someone to prepare a wing room, let the kitchen boil some ginger tea, and said: "Let's rest, what's the matter, we will talk about it tomorrow morning. Although my mansion is small, Jin Yiwei still doesn't dare to take it easy." looking for trouble."

Lu Chengfeng nodded slightly and watched Hu Rong leave.

The boy led the two of them to the wing room in the backyard, and the boy was about to leave after reaching the door. Lu Chengfeng asked suspiciously, "Where's his room?"

The servant lowered his head and replied: "Your Excellency has ordered that he doesn't care where this young master sleeps."

Lu Chengfeng was dumbfounded, since Hu Rong gave such orders, there must be no place for Xie Jiuxiao to live.She stepped into the house, lit the lamp, and Xie Jiuxiao followed in. After Lu Chengfeng waited around for a week, his eyes fell on Xie Jiuxiao suspiciously: "How did you offend Uncle Hu? He doesn't want to see you so much."

Xie Jiuxiao found a chair to sit on, and said indifferently, "How would I know, he always dislikes me."

Lu Chengfeng closed the door and said: "Uncle Hu, who has such a calm temper, can be so angry with you. I admire you."

Xie Jiuxiao said helplessly, "Maybe I'm jealous."

Lu Chengfeng asked doubtfully, "Why are you jealous?"

Xie Jiuxiao smiled frankly: "Maybe I'm jealous that I'm prettier than him."

Lu Chengfeng let him talk nonsense, smiled and said nothing, his eyes fell on him, his pupils shrank.

Xie Jiuxiao said: "There is only one bed, what should I do? Where should I sleep?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "You naturally sleep on the floor."

Xie Jiuxiao said: "I am the young master."

Lu Chengfeng remained expressionless and said, "Master, please sleep on the floor."

Xie Jiuxiao choked, Lu Chengfeng had already made the floor for him, gave him the quilt, and lay on the bed himself.

Xie Jiuxiao curled his lips, but didn't say anything else, but the clothes on his body were half-wet and it was uncomfortable, so he took off the robe, covered the quilt and closed his eyes.
