Chapter 23 Chen Guo Daxiao
(Third update)
——————————
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hou frowned, but stopped.
"What else?"
"Sir, really willing to leave like this?"
Looking at Xiao Hou, An Bochen asked calmly.
"How do you say this?"
"Mr. Li has been a housekeeper for so many years. When he came out, he was a white man. After eight years, he still had no fame and fortune. He could only take a bag of treasures to be a rich man. Are you really willing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hou's arms trembled suddenly, and a deep reluctance floated in his eyes, which he calmed down in a flash, pretending to be calm.
After observing his words and expressions, An Bochen was secretly happy. He knew that his words hit Xiao Hou's weakness, and then continued.
"As a great wise man, he has only gained some money for his whole life, which is inferior."
"Hmph, what you said is light, what else can I do if I am down here?"
The old face turned slightly red, and Xiao Hou snorted coldly, dropped his sleeves heavily, and turned around and wanted to leave.
"I have a way. If I can succeed, it is possible for me to embark on a career."
One foot had already stepped out of the stairs, but it was fixed in the air and had not fallen for a long time. Xiao Hou turned around, looked at An Bochen with a cold face, and spoke after a long time.
"Come on."
"Using Mr. Xiao's methods, I must have known that Mr. Li fell into Duke Huo's hands. If he could be taken back, he would continue to be a puppet. With Mr. Li's reputation and connections in the court and the country, it would be a matter of one word to make Mr. Xiao an official."
As soon as An Bochen finished speaking, the old man opposite him had already raised his head and laughed.
"Who is Duke Huo? Where is the Duke's Mansion? Humph, it's a dragon's and tiger's den, and you can't even think of it if you fly in, let alone you are a little servant..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by An Bochen.
"Mr. Xiao didn't know that the left prime minister had secretly transferred the food and salary from Jinwu Guard, intending to use this to force Duke Huo. The Duke still didn't know it now, and the prince had secretly collected all the food and salary a few days ago, leaving a grain transfer order to hide it in a secret place. As long as Bo Chen exchanged this, the military situation was in urgent need. I think the Duke would not catch a fake Prince Li, let alone the disappearance of Prince Li would harm him without any benefit."
After hearing An Bochen talk, Xiao Hou's expression gradually calmed down.
"How did you know?"
"Bo Chen read the secret letter of Prince Li this morning."
Seeing that Mr. Xiao was still hesitating, An Bochen took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Xiao is hesitating. At worst, if you wait until dawn, if Bo Chen cannot turn around, then that means Bo Chen is dead and Mr. can leave. If Bo Chen is lucky enough to take the young master Li to turn around, then everyone will be happy. For Mr., there are all benefits but no harm, why not give it a try?"
A trace of light flashed in Triangle's eyes, and Xiao Hou's face turned red, as if he had finally made up his mind and clenched his fists.
"Okay! Since Bo Chen did not hesitate to go deep into the tiger's den, then Xiao would wait until dawn."
"In this way, one word is determined."
He bowed to Xiao Hou, An Bochen looked at the sky and took a deep breath.
"It's not too early, so Bo Chen went to the Duke's Mansion."
After saying that, An Bochen stopped staying, crossed Xiao Hou and hurried downstairs.
"Be careful is the best!"
Standing at the window and looking at the boy running into the night, Xiao Hou blushed and whispered.
The moonlight was hazy, spreading the window frames, like a layer of frost. As Anbo Chen gradually moved farther and farther away, the hot color on the old man's face gradually faded away, and it was as gloomy as water.
"Hmph, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so I pretend to be smart."
Brushing away his skirt, Xiao Hou sat down leisurely, picked up the teapot next to him and filled it with tea.
After drinking a cup, Xiao Hou stretched comfortably and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Indeed, after serving the young master for eight years, how could I be willing to leave like this? But now the situation in the Liu Kingdom is in chaos, how could I be a small official and continue to flatter you?"
The night wind blew into the window frame, blew up the old man's long white hair, and a black seal appeared on the temples he usually hid, with the word "六" written on it.
The black seal will only appear on two types of people, one is a death row prisoner, and the other is a repetitive offender who will never be forgiven. But for Xiao Hou, this black seal is a medal that records his glorious history. He was born in Qi State on the west coast, but he was not a hermit in Zhongnan Mountain, and he had no ambition to cultivate himself and manage his family and pacify the world. In the past, the neighbor of Qi State, Chen State, had a Xishan man rebelled and rioted the Chen State's destiny. It took seven years to completely quell, causing Chen State's vitality to be severely damaged and he became the weakest vassal state. People in the world think that the rebels can do the
The reason for being invincible is that the seventh-grade Taoist talisman is unknown. Among them, there is a man who plays the most critical role. The leader of the rebel army dreamed of the devilish words such as the God of the West Mountain who taught the heavenly books was compiled by him, and it was also his deeds to win over the hearts of the people. The repeated attacks and attacks made the Chen army miserable and secretly commanded them. But among the rebels, he was not famous, and he could not even rank the top thirty. Because his surname was Xiao, he always greeted people with a smile, so he gave him the nickname Smile Fox. This man is Xiao Hou, who is now on the top of Mo Yun.
To be precise, the rebellion was planned by him, but after the rebellion was quelled, he ended up being unforgivable because he was not the mastermind who escaped the death penalty.
No one knew that before the rebellion, Xiao Hou was just a teacher in a small town on the border of Qi. He had ink in his belly, but had no ambitions. He never thought of making a name for himself. He lost his face in front of the students and lost his job. In anger, he swore to take revenge.
Kill that young master? Kill one and another. Kill all young masters? As long as there is a noble family, those noble masters will never be missing. Destroy those noble families. It is a bit troublesome, but if the entire Chen State is destroyed, there is no need to be so troublesome.
So, after spending ten years planning, he gradually realized that his ability was much better than he had thought before. Or perhaps because of his hard thinking day and night, he was furious and his hair was covered in his head when he was less than fifty years old, forcing out all the conspiracies and cruel methods hidden in his bones. Then, he succeeded in "revenge", received an indelible medal at his temples, and was rescued by Mr. Li, and came to Moyun Tower to become an ordinary housekeeper.
All of this took him twenty-five years.
He can do a lot in twenty-five years and can completely change a person. Now, Mr. Xiao is no longer the teacher who is angry. After seven years of ups and downs of rebellion, he is now more tolerant, more disguised, and more able to seek benefits to the greatest extent.
"It seems that Mr. Li really can't come back. After waiting for eight years, I finally waited for this day. Tsk tsk, from today on Mo Yun Tower, there will be no Mr. Li, only Mr. Xiao."
Taking a sip of tea, Xiao Hou smiled faintly, pulled out a stack of scrolls from his sleeve, scanned his eyes and threw them on several tables.
At first glance, this scroll was very similar to what Anbochen saw in the daytime, because it was the real secret letter. What was recorded in it was naturally very different from what Anbochen saw. For example, Duke Huo had already known about the Zuo Xiang's secret food transfer, and had already received the food transfer order given to him by Prince Li.
With his fingers tapping on the table, Xiao Hou narrowed his eyes into a line and murmured to himself.
"The three things that Huo Guo hates most in his life: betrayal, deception and threats. You, An Bochen, committed two things alone. It will be difficult for you to not die in this way."
"Although Duke Huo and Prince Li are in a relationship of interest, how can they not have any feelings for so long? It would be better to use your An Bochen to vent your anger. Only after that Duke vents his anger and is calm can I have a good conversation with him. Although Prince Li dies, as long as his foundation is still there, Duke Huo can still get help from the court and the wilderness. Therefore, someone still needs to be in charge of Mo Yunlou. Besides me, Mr. Xiao, where can I find a better candidate?"
After drinking the third sip of tea, Xiao Hou felt refreshed and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger. He looked at the Jade Hall, his eyes flashing.
"That girl is weird. Judging from her demeanor, it's better not to move for the time being. As long as the general trend is on my side, what kind of storm can she cause when An Bochen dies... I really didn't see before that An Bochen was a bit anxious. If I hadn't met me, I might have achieved something in the future. Unfortunately, my intelligence was mistaken for intelligence. The huge Mo Yun Tower would change hands tomorrow, I, Mr. Xiao."
The moonlight sank into the window frame and fell on the old man with a sneer on his face, but was lost in his dark robe.
.........
After running wildly, Amberchen finally stopped after running two streets.
After breathing a sigh of relief, An Bochen looked up at the mansion not far away, with a look of confidence in his eyes.
When he saw Xiao Hou at first, he said he was not panicked, which was a lie, but for some reason, when he thought of the danger and the secrets that could help Sima Jin go home, the panic in his heart instantly disappeared, calm and talked freely, and even analyzed the situation in the court with the Xiao Hou who could not see the details clearly.
With a slightly bitter smile, An Bochen shook his head.
He knew nothing about the situation in the court. The reason why he could say that was because he was quick to learn to wisely, putting together the secrets in his daily experiences and secrets in secret letters, and he said it randomly, but it sounded like that, and even he began to admire himself.
"It can be said that the blind cat caught a dead mouse and fooled the old man Xiao by chance. However, Mr. Li's secret letter was real, and perhaps it could really impress Duke Huo."
The young man said to himself that after running wildly, he stood in front of Duke Huo's mansion, his heart was thumping.
He talked about fashion with Xiao Hou before and didn't think it was a big deal, but at this time, he was about to step into the main area of the Duke's Mansion, but he couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, this was the mansion of the three dynasties and the current right prime minister. He was just a servant. He was just discovered by Duke Huo and destroyed the acupuncture point last night. Tonight he was so swaying to negotiate terms with him. To be honest, only Sima Jin could do it, but he learned it by An Bochen.
"Forget it, this is the only way to do it for now."
After being calm, An Bochen had no time to think about it, took a deep breath, and walked towards Duke Huo's mansion.
Who knew that his departure made the unmoved undercurrent of Liujing become unpredictable again.
