Although he had been planning for so long just waiting for this sentence, what Xu Xun blurted out were four decisive words.
"Why don't you dare!"
"Hahaha, okay!"
Fu Rong was fully confident that he would not misjudge the young man in front of him, but even so, when he heard these four words, he was still extremely satisfied. After smiling, he nodded to Xu Xun and motioned for the other person to continue to support him.
Step forward. The two of them walked on the seemingly endless gravel path until they passed through a small courtyard covered with peach blossom trees. Fu Rong stopped and looked up at the two-story building in front of him.
"You just stay here these days. Since you are going to the capital, there are many things you should learn. Although you are smart, you have not read enough. Read books, learn etiquette, and the customs and customs of the capital.
Civil and military boss, a powerful person in the palace, you will be very busy in the next few days!"
Even if Fu Rong didn't speak, Xu Xun knew that his weaknesses lay in these areas. After nodding in agreement, he walked a few more steps and suddenly asked: "Eunuch Fu, when I come out, the people in my family...
"
"Chen Lu has dropped such words. No one dares to think about your house anymore. As for your little boy, our family will send someone to pick him up later. As soon as his identity is exposed, the kind of rumors spread the most in Taiping.
You can't stay in such a happy place for even a day. As for his father who fled in fear of crime..." Fu Rong lowered his eyes and said in a nonchalant tone, "There are many dark salt mines in the world. Now that he has gone out, don't think about it.
return!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Seeing Xu Xun let go of his hand and bowing to him, Fu Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Where could he still look like he was just walking and needed help?
When Xu Xun stood up, he released his hand and put it behind his back, and then said with a dumb smile: "I have met my family many times, but you have only turned your back this time, and you still do it for an unrelated outsider!"
*****************
An hour later, a mule carriage once again stopped at the west corner gate of the former Kaiping Prince's Palace. The gatekeeper originally wanted to check, but when he saw the rider emerging from behind the carriage, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and let the way pass.
The coachman opened the curtain, and Xu Liang, who got out, put on a new gray cloth robe, but as he looked at the place, he always felt a little unnatural, until Chen Lu's voice came from behind,
He just turned his head.
"There's still a long way from the front yard to the second gate. You should know how to ride a horse?"
Hearing this question, Xu Liang was silent for a long time, and then nodded slightly. When the entourage behind Chen Lu brought a horse over, he pulled the reins and stared at the bridle and stirrups for a long time, and then suddenly
Stretching out his feet in the stirrups, he turned over neatly and jumped onto the horse's back. Seeing this, Chen Lu nodded slightly, and then he rode ahead on his own. When he reached the end of the corridor, he dismounted and held the horse.
The reins were thrown to a young boy who came forward to greet him, and then he led Xu Liang into the Chuihua Gate.
Xu Liangyuan was imprisoned for three days in the Nancheng Army and Horse Division. Xu Liangyuan was filled with resentment. However, the expected whipping did not come. On the contrary, the officers provided him with good food and even tested his tone from time to time.
.And today, it was actually Commander Zhu from the Nancheng Army and Horses Division who came to let him out in person and walked him all the way to the door. His polite and warm attitude almost gave him the illusion that he had returned to the place where he once was.
When our young master was a child, he didn't put away those daydreams and illusions until he came to the guarding eunuch's mansion, but he became even more uneasy.
"Eunuch, Xu Liang is here."
"Bring him in."
Standing in front of the small building, after hearing these two simple replies, when Chen Lu turned around to look at himself, Xu Liang hurriedly straightened his clothes. It was true that he enjoyed wealth as a child, but his father and son were treated with cold eyes.
It is also true; it is true that I have been stuck and embarrassed for half my life, but it is also true that I can act freely without having to be afraid all the time. Now facing this important person who I have not seen in the past few decades, even if he is as stubborn and stubborn as him in front of others, I don't feel it at this moment.
There was a handful of cold sweat in my palms.
Even if he is still a child of the wealthy family in the past, he is not worth mentioning in front of people like Fu Rong. Now, they specially fished him out from the Nancheng Army and Horses Department. What is the purpose of it?
As Chen Lu crossed the threshold and went in, after passing through the bead curtain on the left side of the blue silk cabinet, he saw an old man dressed like an ordinary rich man sitting on the soft couch in the middle. Xu Liang just struggled in his heart and lowered his head.
Kneel down.
"Meet my father-in-law."
Fu Rong has met Xu Xun three times, but this is the first time that Xu Liang has met him. He is also the savior of his adopted son. The latter has more credit, but he favors one over the other. Naturally, it is because Xu Xun is promoted to Kuiyuan Tower.
It was the first time at the banquet that Chen Lu, who was hiding in the room, was impressed, but Xu Liang was always invisible to everyone. Therefore, now he carefully looked at the old man kneeling in front of him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said
He raised his chin slightly.
"Chen Lu, help him up."
After being helped up by others, he sat down on the chair next to him like a puppet on strings. Xu Liang unconsciously showed off the skills he had learned from practicing kung fu when he was a boy. His back was as straight as a pine tree.
, there is also a faint gap between the body and the chair surface that seems to be next to each other, as if he is walking. Although Fu Rong can't see it, Chen Lu's hands are not loose, and these eyes
Even more sharp, he saw the clues at a glance, and naturally whispered a few words in Fu Rong's ear.
Hearing this, Fu Rong, who originally looked down on Xu Liang, a bad old man, was slightly moved. He glanced at the chair under Xu Liang, and then glanced at the knife-like wrinkles on his face. He suddenly said bluntly.
He said: "Xing'an Bo is about to die."
Xing Anbo is dying!
After hearing these six short words, Xu Liang almost relaxed and sat down on the chair, and was immediately frightened. He has lived in Taiping for several years, and he has never revealed his secrets to his neighbors.
That is, he mentioned his identity to Huitong after drinking, and he also knew the secret of the thief monk. However, this theory should be something that others should never know. In this case, why should Fu Rong do it in front of him?
The premise is Xing Amber?
"Father-in-law..."
"What our family means is that Uncle Xing'an is about to die, but he doesn't have a son. If he can't find a son, the lineage of Uncle Xing'an will be cut off like the many lineages of heroes who have been expelled." Fu Rong
Seeing Xu Liang sitting there in a daze, he remembered something about Xu Xun, and immediately lost interest in continuing to explain, and just said lazily, "Well, Chen Lu, you take him to Dong Er's study
, go see Xu Xun and ask that boy to help explain, our family is exhausted!"
**********************
After taking a green cloth sedan from the ancestral hall and walking around in a big circle, Huitong and Ruisheng came down halfway and asked the two confidants carrying the sedan to take care of the sedan. Then he took the little boy who was once again dull after his superb performance today.
The guy returned to Xu's courtyard. Seeing Ruisheng sitting on the threshold of the second door and staring blankly at the door as soon as he returned to the courtyard, Huitong felt angry and funny. After looking at the person for a while, he walked forward and stood in front of the door.
There were several heavy pats on the shoulder.
"Are you still worried about your young master? Just stop worrying. He is slipperier than a loach. Everything has been planned in advance and nothing will happen!"
Ruisheng turned his head and looked up at Huitong who was indifferent, and said nonchalantly: "But what if I get involved..."
"If he said there is a way, there must be a way." Huitong said plausibly. Thinking of the crime of castrating the fire man, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he still smiled heartlessly on his face, "Don't you think so?"
Can’t even trust your young master?”
"No, I believe it, of course I believe it!" Ruisheng shook his head like a rattle, the worry on his face disappeared, and he clenched his fist tightly, "Young Master will definitely do what he says, and he will definitely spend this time safely.
One level..."
Before he could finish these words, Jin Liu, who had been hiding in the corner of the ancestral hall early in the morning, rushed in with a flash, and an extremely bright smile bloomed on his wretched face, as if even his mouth was a little crooked.
Still far away, he shouted loudly: "The ancestral hall has dispersed in a hurry, and even the ancestor worship has been postponed. The young master said that he invited Eunuch Fu. The commander Chen who sent the message also said that this house
It still belongs to the young master. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can go to him and ask for rent! Hey, from now on, our young master can walk away in peace!"
Having said this, Jin Liusan stepped forward and sat down next to Ruisheng regardless of the matter. He glanced at Ruisheng sideways and patted the little guy affectionately.
thigh.
"Don't worry, since the young master has followed Eunuch Fu, your trivial matter is nothing! Maybe you can even enter the palace to serve the nobles, and then you will be rich!"
However, Ruisheng didn't hear the words about wealth and honor at all. He just clenched his fists hard and wanted to shout something, but he couldn't make any sound. In the end, he revealed a look that was even uglier than crying.
The smile on his face, and then he actually fell on his knees, with tears streaming down his face before he knew it.
While he was in a daze, he vaguely felt someone tapping his shoulder. For a moment, his sobs suddenly turned into heart-wrenching wails. Even he himself didn't know what he was crying about.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone patted his shoulder again and roughly stuffed a handkerchief in. He took it and wiped his face carelessly. When he looked up, he found that Jin Liu had disappeared without a trace.
, in front of him was Huitong's somewhat solemn face.
"Someone is coming from the guarding eunuch's house. I'll send you a message. Ruisheng, take care of yourself and be careful!"
After patting the little guy's shoulder hard, Huitong looked up at the clear sky above his head, and then grinned.
After the battle here is over, it will be his turn next!
