Chapter 31: Childe is rewarded
Xiangyu's face turned pale, and when he came back to his senses, he removed his gaze that stopped on Ah Dao and looked at the door.
The tanuki slave didn't know when he was standing there, still smiling and unfazed, as if it was normal for him to see Ah Tao clinging to Xiangyu's arms at this moment.
Ah Tao felt a loosen of her wrist, she got up and took a few steps back, and stood aside.
The raccoon slave came in, walked to Xiangyu, and after bowing down, he smiled at Ah Tao and said, "You go down first, there is me on the child's side." ”
Ah Tao didn't leave immediately as usual, she looked at Xiangyu and stopped talking.
As if he had mustered up a lot of courage, Ah Dao knelt on his knees and said solemnly: "If the slave is like a moon fence and cultivates the art of controlling words, can the son give the slave a reward?"
Xiangyu leaned back on the couch again, he supported his head with one hand, and only after a while did he hear him respond slowly: "What kind of reward do you want?"
"Name. Ah Tao said word by word, his eyes full of expectation.
The night is getting dark.
At the door, Adao's figure left.
The tanuki slave approached Xiangyu, looked at the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, and asked softly, "The medicinal power in the child's body is not exhausted, can you summon the noble girl to come to sleep tonight?"
Xiangyu was silent: "No." ”
The tanuki slave stepped forward and began to skillfully arrange Xiangyu's robe and hair: "Childe has worked hard today, do you want the slave to wait for you to rest for a while?"
"I don't feel sleepy yet. ”
Outside the boat, Ah Tao went ashore again, his face full of joy.
What is the duty of being a sacrifice, the question that has plagued her for several days, finally got an answer from Childe's mouth.
It doesn't get any happier than that!
Ah Tao showed a satisfied smile, and her steps became lighter and lighter.
The wrist that she was holding tightly in her long sleeves was still a hot pain at this time, and she looked at her wrist and couldn't help but stop.
However, compared to usual, Childe's words and deeds tonight were slightly strange, thinking that it should be caused by the five stones.
Thinking of Yin Heng he met in the forest, Ah Tao said in his heart, after taking Wushi San, the nobles seemed to have changed as if they had changed, but the nobles were still happy.
The way humans spend their time is really strange.
Ah Tao couldn't help but look back in the direction of the boat room where Xiangyu was located.
In the small room, the two windows happened to be pushed open from the inside at this time, and Ah Tao saw the figure of the raccoon slave flickering in front of the window, and then Xiangyu's figure appeared next to the wide open window.
He was dressed in a half-open white jade-colored robe, and looked at the shore with a leisurely and lazy expression.
The eyes of the two met in the distance.
Under the moonlight, the faces of the two looked blurry and distant in each other's eyes.
The drunken blush on Xiangyu's face has faded a lot, and the feeling of dryness and heat around his body has also disappeared, and the effect of Wushi San has been exhausted, and he has returned to normal.
Looking at the back of Ah Dao, who was running away like a cat caught stealing fish, Xiangyu suddenly said loudly: "She doesn't understand love." ”
The raccoon slave was stunned: "That is, it will take some time." ”
Xiangyu acquiesced.
The raccoon slave turned his mind and remembered something: "There was an incident at the moon viewing banquet at night, and I need to tell my son." ”
After a pause, he said, "It has something to do with the eldest prince Yin." ”
......
Inside the city of Yin'an.
Outside the gate of the very magnificent Shengfu, a team of chariots and horses came quickly from a distance.
The carriage stopped in front of the door, and the two magnificent carriages in front and behind walked down Sheng Wuyu and Sheng Shuiyu who had returned from the boat banquet respectively.
The door of the mansion opened from the inside out, and a janitor greeted him with great speed.
Sheng Wuyu and Sheng Shuiyu said goodbye at the door, Sheng Wuyu returned to his courtyard, and as soon as he changed into his clothes, a small servant came.
"Second son, the patriarch is invited. ”
Sheng Wuyu followed the little maid out of the room and walked towards another courtyard.
After a moment, the little servant led Sheng Wuyu into a dimly lit room and bowed and retreated.
Sheng Wuyu walked towards the pear blossom wood chair on the side very familiarly, and was just about to sit down, when he heard a low voice with hidden anger coming from behind him.
"You gambled with Xiang Yuli again today?" A middle-aged man wearing a gray-blue honeysuckle brocade robe, with a majestic appearance and eyes full of essence, appeared behind him, it was Sheng Zhuohuai, the patriarch of the Sheng clan.
"Yes, father. Sheng Wuyu bowed to Sheng Zhuohuai, "The sacrifice to kill him within three months is a new bet we have made." ”
Sheng Zhuohuai looked at him coldly: "If you can't kill that sacrifice within three months, how will you stay?"
"I have my own plans. ”
Sheng Zhuohuai let out a sneer: "What are you going to do?"
His eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he said angrily: "It's just nonsense! On weekdays, you are ridiculous, causing trouble, just a little fight with him, something that is not a weapon, you and I don't know what you did today!"
"You broke into their banquet and promised Xiangyu in front of a crowd that if you can't kill the sacrifice within three months, you and even the entire royal family will not touch that sacrifice again!
In the face of his father's thunderous anger, Sheng Wuyu did not see the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, he sat on the pear blossom wood chair, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, no matter what happens in three months, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with you and the royal family, so why should you be angry?"
On his withered and vain countenance, there was a trace of calmness and determination that was extremely incongruous, but there was a bit of a gentleman's degree.
On the boat of the Xiang clan a few miles away from the Shengfu, the bright lights were still bright, and in the woods on the shore not far away, the aristocratic men who had just enjoyed a feast of five stones were sitting on the couches set up at the pavilion to rest.
They were described as disheveled, disheveled, exhausted, and their faces were stained with a layer of fatigue.
The nobles who had deliberately avoided it and went to a desperate place to admire the moon had already been safely sent back to the mansions of various ethnic groups in Yin'an City by carriage after enjoying the moonlight.
The banquet came to an end, and the atmosphere gradually subsided.
In the direction of the entrance of the path, there are countless footsteps approaching......
The tanuki came slowly carrying his white jade sheep's horn lamp, followed by a Xiangfu servant, and behind the little maid, there was also a long line of dozens of people, dressed in light gauze, light and beautiful, and with outstanding appearance.
The servant held a tray in both hands, and the tray contained five stone powder.
The aristocratic men, who were originally lax and casual, had to cheer up a little at this time, and looked at the tanuki slaves with a little puzzlement.
The beautiful maids who accompanied the nobles retreated one after another.
The tanuki smiled and saluted the nobles present, and then walked over to Yin Hu, who was leaning on the couch and resting with his eyes closed.
The raccoon slave waved his hand at Yin, smiled and said, "Master Yin, the son has a reward." ”
Yin Hu had taken too much Wushi Powder tonight, and he was in the realm of fluttering immortals at the moment, he vaguely heard someone calling him, and struggled for a long time before he stood up, half-open his eyes and looked at the group of figures standing in front of him.
When he looked at the tanuki owl eyes that were smiling at the tanuki slave, Yin Hu's thoughts became clearer, and he looked around a little confused, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and then he completely regained some consciousness.
Yin Hu was supported by the little servant and staggered to his feet: "What is the matter with the tanuki ghost servant looking for me?"
