Some are happy and some are sad.

Chen Guanxin complained a lot, drank a few glasses of wine, and began to fall asleep. He probably wouldn't be able to wake up even if there was a thunderstorm.

Chen Guanlou took the fine cotton cloth and carefully wiped the sword.

The old guy had been following him for such a long time, drinking countless blood, and gradually developed a bit of evil spirit.

Evil spirit is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it actually exists.

Facing the candlelight, they looked at the blade and looked at each other quietly. The man and the sword are united into one, and the tacit understanding is perfect.

There was a noise on the wall.

Chen Guanlou did not go out to check, but silently put away the sword, hiding its edge. He has a reserved aura, and he is an ordinary little jailer, a harmless good citizen.

He took out the wine bottle and wine glass, and just as he filled the wine glass, Qi Wuxiu barged in.

"You knew I was coming?"

"Everyone else comes to my house through the main door, but you are the only one who likes to climb over the wall."

Qi Wuxiu chuckled and pointed to the guest room next door, "Are there any guests?"

"A clan brother came to stay with me after being beaten and had no place to go. I'm not going home today to celebrate the New Year, but you have time to come to my place for a drink?" Chen Guanlou asked teasingly, slightly curious.

Qi Wuxiu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, as if he had been thirsty for a long time and drank the wine as water.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, sat down on the bamboo chair, and sighed, "This year is not peaceful!"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's quite peaceful! Lord Hou just won the battle, and the world was singing and dancing at peace."

Qi Wuxiu looked at Chen Guanlou with a half-smile but not a smile, "Are you sure there is peace? How long has it been since your Tianlao received money and food? Have you ever seen or heard of people who were owed wages for up to a year in the era of peace and prosperity? ?”

When Chen Guanlou heard this, he sneered, "There are many similar situations. It said that singing and dancing bring peace, how can I still say that people are living in poverty? This is the capital, Jinyiwei's territory, I still want to live for a few more years. No, you It's not like you're a serious person who eats from the government. I can't owe you the salary. Besides, you don't rely on that salary. Just like me, if I relied on the salary from the court, I would have starved to death eight hundred years ago. ”

Qi Wuxiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sometimes ignorance is quite happy."

Chen Guanlou didn't want to hear this, it was too harsh. What is ignorance!

All right!

As an ordinary little jailer, he should be ignorant.

He suppressed the desire to retort and took a sip of hot tea, "What kind of stimulation did you have to come to my place to be drunk? It's still the night of the New Year's Eve. No, it's the first day of the first lunar month now. In the early morning of the first day of the first lunar month, If you don't lie on a woman's bed, why would you feel sorry for me? This place is not a brothel."

Qi Wuxiu laughed loudly, "If you open a kiln, you will definitely make money."

"roll!"

Chen Guanlou almost drew his sword.

After Qi Wuxiu smiled, he lowered his eyebrows and pointed to the north with a serious face.

Chen Guanlou didn't know why.

Qi Wuxiu didn't care whether he understood or not, he just said, "Something happened."

"What happened?" Chen Guanlou was curious, looked at the direction he was pointing, and then stared at the other person's face. Then he suddenly realized, "You mean Jinzhou? No! You mean the palace?"

Qi Wuxiu nodded, retracted his hand, and said solemnly: "Everyone's good days are coming to an end. However, Tianlao should not be affected."

Chen Guanlou frowned and looked at the other party, "You work in the palace at night? It turns out that you are a serious person who eats public food. It's the Chinese New Year, the palace is bustling, and everyone is busy trying to please His Majesty, what could happen? ? I didn’t hear the bell ringing either. I think your majesty, Hongfu Qitian, must be fine.”

Qi Wuxiu poured himself a drink, "As long as you know that I am a public servant, there are some things I can't tell you. I can only tell you, the prince is crazy!"

Chen Guanlou's eyes widened and he looked directly at the other person, trying to find out something from the other person's face.

But Qi Wuxiu avoided his gaze.

Chen Guanlou blinked his eyes and asked doubtfully: "Literally? Or is it an exaggeration?"

Qi Wuxiu chuckled and said, "Both."

Chen Guanlou bared his teeth, which made him feel uncomfortable. Listening to a piece of gossip can make anyone feel heart-burning and lung-burning.

He asked: "Can you elaborate? You've just started, so you can't finish. In fact, you shouldn't have come to me in the first place, let alone said these nonsense. If you don't elaborate , I definitely won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

"This is against the rules."

"Tell me how many rules you broke tonight. You slipped out of your job, leaked information, and made up the prince's gossip... Anyway, it's already been broken. It doesn't matter if you break it again. As the saying goes, after breaking, you can stand up. Looking at you like this, it must be It’s because I’ve been irritated, and if I don’t say it out loud, I might make a mistake later, so I promise not to tell anyone about it.”

Chen Guanlou deceived the other party.

He guessed that Qi Wuxiu was neither old nor young, and should be a second generation, one who was aggressive, passionate and willing to do things. Plus the kung fu was okay, so I lurked in the fight. After an inspection, the superiors found that he was good at what he did, and his family endorsed him and were willing to give him a chance, so he got the job of guarding the palace at night.

But he didn't expect that what the royal family members did would destroy Qi Wuxiu's beautiful fantasy, and he urgently needed a place to vent. The family members are definitely not good. His complaints are incorrect and must be kept quiet. Neither can friends, who will be betrayed if they are not guaranteed. That’s even less true for colleagues, everyone is a competitor.

Only he, a nobody, a little jailer, without any conflict of interest, could allow Qi Wuxiu to speak freely and relieve his worries.

"Don't tell anyone?"

Chen Guanlou nodded heavily and swore directly, promising not to tell anyone.

Seeing that Qi Wuxiu still didn't believe him, he complained: "Who can I tell? I'd be crazy if I told those brothers in Tianlao. I'm not tired of talking about the brothers in the Chen clan. I'm still hoping that the master will fly to the sky and take me with him. I'm not so vicious as to kill people by gossiping about the prince to the neighbors. As for the person next to me, you don't have to worry. My person next to me is always changing. You see, I have no place to tell my secrets, what are you afraid of."

Qi Wuxiu wanted to complain that the other party was really pitiful, but then he thought that he seemed to be similar. There's no need to laugh at others.

He cleared his throat, and Chen Guanlou immediately brought him a cup of hot tea, "Moisten your throat first. It's still a long way to go before dawn."

Qi Wuxiu: ...

He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have come to the Chen family.

He moistened his throat, scratched his head, and was very worried. "Now you know that I am a government employee. Tonight is the New Year, and the palace needs more people, so I was sent there."

"Then what?" As a qualified supporting actor, Chen Guanlou must arouse the other party's desire to talk.

"Maybe I am good-looking and have a clean family background, so I was assigned to work in Zhengyang Palace. Zhengyang Palace is where the palace will have a banquet tonight."
