At midnight in the evening, the dark clouds that had accumulated all day finally took shape and rain and sleet fell.
The whole courtyard was wet, and there were drops of water constantly under the eaves, making a ticking sound.
The servants lit the stove and lit all the candles and lanterns they could inside and outside to show the joy of moving into a house.
Because the original owner, Li Jinlou, was almost evicted, there are still a large number of Li Jinlou's belongings in the house.
Only then did Xu Zun realize that he had forgotten something and he should call Li Jinlou himself or the housekeeper to help organize the items.
However, I have just moved in, so I can pack up a simple place to stay today. As for those details, I will deal with them later.
At this moment, Xu Zun is looking for memories in his father's study.
The study room has hardly changed much, even the position of the bookshelf has not changed at all, only the furnishings and the books on the bookshelf have all changed.
Xu Zun vaguely remembered that when he was a child, his father Xu Changlin was either busy with official duties and away from home all day long, or he stayed in this study studying something and rarely accompanied him.
Chang Linqing is an extremely smart, but extremely unsophisticated person. He never bends the law for personal gain, but he always knows everything clearly.
The emperor at that time took a fancy to this aspect of him and made him the Minister of Dali Temple against all objections.
As expected, after Xu Changlin took office, he investigated several major cases and offended all civil and military officials.
Except for a few decent ministers in the court who had contacts with Xu Changlin, everyone else avoided him.
Therefore, when Xu Changlin died suddenly and violently, the Xu family naturally became a place of trouble, and the family fortunes soon declined.
If Shen Tiande hadn't taken in him under pressure, I'm afraid there wouldn't be the current executioner Daxuanti!
Mr. Shen...
Thinking of this kind and kind old man, Xu Zun felt deep thoughts in his heart. In a sense, his feelings for Mr. Shen were deeper than those of his father.
When he thought of Mr. Shen, he couldn't avoid two terms, one was iron coffin and the other was Shen Qian.
Even now, he still doesn't understand why Mr. Shen wanted to rob the iron coffin? Did they grab Qiu Dingtian's body?
In addition, why did Shen Qian kill her biological father?
Could it be that they originally belonged to the same organization, but Mr. Shen wanted to betray him and was silenced as a result?
But if that's the case... doesn't Shen Qian know about Ku Niang?
Shen Qian... where is she now?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to take out the song "Linjiang Immortal" and read it again.
But at this moment, there was a tinkling sound coming from the corridor outside, as well as the laughter of Huo Anu, Ani and others.
What's wrong?
Xu Zun had no choice but to walk out of the study and go to the corridor to watch.
At first glance, he couldn't help but laugh, and was amused by the sight in front of him!
But I saw Zhao Yu wearing a yellow Bagua robe, a purple gold crown on his head, a rattle in one hand, and a peach wood sword in the other, and he was dancing in the corridor!
While he was dancing, he was still mumbling words. The next second, he took a sip of strong wine and then sprayed it out of his mouth.
In an instant, the strong wine ignited into a ball of flame.
Zhao Yu flew out a piece of yellow paper and touched it with his peach wood sword, and the yellow paper instantly burned to ashes!
Wow……
At this time, everyone was stunned, and even some maids applauded him. Only Huo Anu and Ani sneered.
"receive!"
Zhao Yu shouted loudly and then stopped and stood firm.
"Okay!" Xu Zun couldn't help but applaud him, but his mind was full of lines from a certain cartoon:
Monsters and ghosts leave quickly, monsters and ghosts leave quickly...
"Okay!" Zhao Yu took off his Bagua robe and said proudly, "After all, it's our housewarming, so we have to have peace of mind no matter what!
"Master Xu, don't worry! With my ability, ordinary magic sticks, oh no... ordinary goddesses can't come here!"
Xu Zun knew that the reason why Zhao Yu jumped to the Great God was because a murder occurred here not long ago. Liu Jin, the minister of Dali Temple, was assassinated and died in this corridor.
That's why Zhao Yu jumped up to ward off evil spirits.
Grain stilts
Xu Zun was a materialist in his previous life, so naturally he wouldn't care about this. As Zhao Yu himself said, it was just for psychological comfort.
"Master Xu, gentlemen of the bodyguards," Liu Dong said to everyone at this time, "dinner has been prepared. Today is a bit simple due to the rush. I hope you will forgive me."
Because of the canonization, not only Xu Zun and Ku Niang, but also Zhao Yu, Huo Anu and Ani were also named third-grade guards, enjoying national salaries.
Therefore, in addition to calling Xu Zun "sir", Liu Dong also had to call them "sir".
As for As Xiuzai, Hou Zhen and others, they themselves are treated as internal guards. Now they have all advanced to the first level, and their salaries have been doubled, so naturally their treatment is not low.
During this battle, in addition to Li Xing, the first eight bodyguards who followed Xu Zun were also injured or damaged.
Now, there are only five people still following Xu Zun, namely: As Xiuzai, Hou Zhen, Li Xing, Jiang Hua and one named Shangguan Min.
Cai Kun had promised Xu Zun that he would complete the eight guards in a few days and return Dai Long to Xu Zun.
Dai Long was bitten by an evil spirit in Yonghui and is still recovering from his injuries.
Through long-term contact, Xu Zun already knows these guards relatively well.
Among them, Asiuzai has the best Qinggong and is suitable for being a scout;
Hou Zhen is an upright person and can deliver important tasks;
Li Xing has a flexible mind and strong adaptability;
Jiang Hua and Shangguan Min are both loyal guards who can endure hardships. They are most suitable for guarding the door and keeping vigil at night, and they never slack off.
After Xu Zun's observation, among the eight guards, the one with the highest martial arts skills and the most courageous one was Dai Long!
Every time there is a crisis, Dai Long will be the one in front!
Therefore, Xu Zun also hopes that Dai Long can return to the team as soon as possible and follow him to the East China Sea...
During the dinner, the guards were loyal to their duties and hid in the courtyard to keep watch, so only Zhao Yu and others were eating around the table.
Since they still don't know that Xu Zun is about to go to the East China Sea to find the prince, everyone is full of expectations for a beautiful new life.
One is discussing whether to build a secret vault, and the other is discussing whether to deposit these royal rewards in a bank.
Ani also suggested that for such a large yard, some caretakers should be hired to prevent thieves from being attracted.
Later, everyone began to discuss what should be done with the sword that the Queen Mother gave to Ku Niang.
Although this thing looks good, it is undoubtedly a trap. It cannot be used or sold, and it is afraid of losing it.
In addition, what should be done with the private house that the Queen Mother gave to Ku Niang?
Is that right, take some time to go and take a look tomorrow?
If that place is more suitable, can I move there...
At the same moment when everyone was looking forward to a better life in the future, also in Xinglongfang, less than a hundred meters north of Xu Mansion, there was an extremely majestic house built.
You must know that Xinglongfang is the closest to the imperial palace, and the people who live in Xinglongfang are all famous princes, ministers, and dignitaries. Every house is built with extraordinary style.
But the house in front of me is superior to all other houses. It has the highest building area and construction grade, which proves that the people living here have a more noble status.
Sure enough, I saw three big characters written on the plaque on the main entrance of the mansion: "Princess-Lord-Mansion"!
In the entire Daxuan, there is only one princess who has her own mansion, and that is the daughter of Queen Mother Lin-Princess Ronghua!
At this moment, I saw Princess Ronghua, who was wearing a gorgeous green robe inlaid with gold, and had just returned from outside the mansion.
When the servants saw this, they hurriedly saluted the princess, but the princess ignored her and walked into the inner hall angrily, sitting heavily on the imperial chair!
Seeing the unhappy look on the princess's face, several people who had been waiting in the inner hall quickly got up and closed the door, then came to the princess to wait for instructions.
"How stubborn!" the princess said angrily, "After so much, the queen mother still wants her brother to return to the throne!
"She even sent Xu Zun to the East China Sea to look for the prince! I wonder where all her ambition and courage went!?"
In front of the princess, there were three people kneeling on one knee, one male, one female, and another one who couldn't tell whether he was male or female.
The man is wearing a brocade robe and a python robe, and seems to be an official of the DPRK;
The person, who could not be identified as male or female, was wearing night clothes and had a coquettish pink plum blossom carved on her cheek;
Look at that woman again. Although she has pretty features, she is dressed like a nun. She is Shen Tiande’s daughter—Shen Qian!!!
