Later, Bian Lao sent medicinal materials, and the palace happened to send someone to Situ Xi's house to read out the imperial edict, and also brought the reward promised to him.

What he got was very simple, just a set of clothes and a deed.

The deed was a house deed, and the new mansion given to him was in the center of the imperial city. Situ Xi asked his father-in-law who came with the imperial edict. The mansion was quite nice, and his Majesty even arranged a group of servants for him.

, this mansion was originally prepared for him as a Proton Mansion, but he refused it at the time, and now it was given to him as a reward from the Situ Mansion.

The brocade clothes on the side looked very exaggerated.

The hat named "Cloud Lion Crown" is a bit too gorgeous, with a larger red gem set on the outside. The inside feels plush, and I don't know what material it is made of.

The so-called "jade rhino belt" is very clear. Just like its name, it is a belt embedded with jade and rhino horn.

He didn't put on the clothes immediately. Situ Xi didn't like the overly luxurious style of clothing, but he still accepted it happily. The clothes were worth a lot and he might be able to sell them for a good price.

Of course, this is just a thought. In Chu State, we still cannot offend the Emperor of Chu.

After dinner, a little Chow Chow was gnawing on a piece of meat on the ground. It was named Xiaoli because she said that the face of the Chow Chow looked like a fox.

What Situ Xi thought about, such as "brown" and "ochre", were considered a bit random by them. Later, he proposed Western names such as "William" and "Jack".

It was rejected every minute.

Just let Xiaoli be Xiaoli, whatever the name is will work.

Looking at the little Chow Chow eating on the ground, after observing it for the past two days, it almost doesn't bark much, it can even be said to be a little quiet, and doesn't run much. Could it be that the dog life is a bit boring?

This was not possible. He still had to cheer up at such a young age, so Situ Xi planned to take it to "catch monsters" tonight.

…

That night, Zhongli Xin was fast asleep in bed, and Situ Xi was still sitting at the table reading.

He did not tell anyone else about the "monster". If someone really sneaked into his house, he was afraid that if more people knew about it, it would alert others, and he was also afraid of causing worries to everyone in the family.

What's more, that person may not show up tonight.

After blowing out the candles on the table, Situ Xi lit another lantern, put the hand crossbow in the drawer into his arms, gently opened the door and walked out of the room, then slowly turned back and closed the door.

Qingyu was waiting at the door with Xiaoli in hand. When she saw Situ Xi coming out, she immediately cheered up.

She seemed very excited about what she was about to do, and quickly came to Situ Xi to talk to him.

"Uncle, it was almost this time last night, let's go and have a look!"

Putting his index finger on the tip of his nose, Situ Xi looked back at the room, signaling to whisper softly. He then gave her a look and asked her to lead the way.

The night was dark, and there were insects chirping among the flowers in the courtyard.

Xiaoli was at the front, Qingyu and Situ Xi walked around the corridor in the courtyard, and then they came to the side courtyard.

"Qingyu, it seems that others are busy with other things tonight?"

Standing on the corridor, Situ Xi could easily take in everything in the side courtyard. The courtyard was completely empty, with no sign of anyone at all.

Situ Xi, the superior of the well, came to check it once at noon. He took some well water for Bian Lao to check, and now there are no extra footprints around it compared to when he came at noon.

"Huh? Could it be that I happened to run into you yesterday?"

Seeing no one there, Qingyu relaxed. She turned her head and looked among the grass in the yard, as if she wanted to find some suspicious traces.

"Then come back tomorrow?"

"Okay..." Qingyu was a little frustrated, but she suddenly felt the rope chain in her hand tightening. She lowered her head and saw that Xiaoli was running towards a house in the side yard.

"Little raccoon?"

"Wait!" Situ Xi stopped the whisper, shook his head at her, and then stared in the direction of the room.

Qingyu followed Situ Xi's gaze, her eyes suddenly widened, and she was ready to scream when she pulled Situ Xi's hand.

"Be quiet." Situ Xi immediately covered her mouth.

In the darkness, a slender figure was swaying towards the center of the courtyard. It swayed back and forth, and the shadow behind it also moved slowly on the courtyard wall.

Since the distance was far away and the figure was in the shadow, Situ Xi couldn't see its appearance clearly. After thinking about it, he took out the crossbow from his arms, adjusted the bowstring, and slowly leaned towards it while holding the lantern.

"Uncle, it's so dangerous, why don't we go call someone." Qingyu hurriedly followed.

Step by step, Qingyu hid behind Situ Xi. She stuck her head out and observed quietly. As the distance between her and the figure got closer and closer, her heart beat faster.

"Aunt...uncle, it seems to be a human figure."

It was a right person. There was only about ten meters between the two sides. The evening breeze blew by, and the man's disheveled hair was fluttering in front of his forehead, making it difficult for people to see his true face.

He and Qingyu stood under the moonlight. The person opposite should have noticed their presence long ago, but he did not stop.

Lifting the lantern high, Situ Xi looked at the man's legs stepping into the light. Sure enough, he was not wearing shoes.

Holding the crossbow tightly in his hand, the man took another step closer. When Situ Xi saw her look, he was suddenly stunned.

"Mr. Man?" Situ Xi looked at the oval-like face of the woman in front of him and recognized her at a glance. She actually had her eyes closed at this moment.

"What?" Qingyu heard Situ Xi's call. She was stunned and immediately looked towards her.

"Ah! Uncle, don't look!" Qingyu stretched out her hands and covered Situ Xi's eyes.

"What are you doing! Let go!" Situ Xi's mouth and nose were covered by her, and he quickly held her wrist with his hand.

"No! Sister Bai is only...only wearing a tube top."

"I know, let go now, I keep my head down." Situ Xi patted her hand, whispered and then let go.

The conversation between the two was not quiet, but Bai Manjun didn't seem to hear it. She was still walking forward, even passing by Situ Xi, and even touched Situ Xi's arm with her shoulder.

"Sister Bai..."

"Don't wake her up suddenly."

This Bai Manjun actually has sleepwalking syndrome, but why did she come to the courtyard? There is a well in the courtyard, which is really dangerous.

"Uncle, do you mean she is still sleeping?" Qingyu was confused by Situ Xi's use of the word "wake up".

"Anyway, take her back to the room first. Even if you have to wake her up, be gentle. She may feel a little uncomfortable if you wake her up suddenly." Situ Xi patted Qingyu's shoulder and took the dog leash and lamp from her hand.

.

"Slave..." Qingyu glanced at Bai Manjun timidly. She had never seen such a situation before, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

"You won't let me see it!" Situ Xi glanced at her angrily.
