Haoping remembered a legend from a long time ago, and he thought that the general might have thought of it too.

The general said that the fourth prince was covered with a faint layer of black qi, which was fleeting. Presumably, the military army has already thought that in ancient legends, the spirit people from the Nine Shadows Land in the West knew the dark spiritual method. The general thinks that the spiritual method on the fourth prince may be the dark spiritual method?"

Wraiths, also known as demons.

Haoping said what Haoyu thought in his heart, Haoping said: "General, don't worry, this is just an ancient legend, how did you do it?"

Haoyu said: "In the past thousands of years, I have never heard of someone covered with a layer of black gas, and I don't think this can be true." Most of the so-called legends have really happened, and later generations have added oil and vinegar to it, and this has become a legend. Look at what he did today, this matter is Feng'er's fault, but no matter how much Feng'er goes too far, he won't really kill his brother. But today he threatened to kill Feng'er for the sake of a minion. He must have been controlled by the demon, which caused the spiritual power in his body to be sucked away by the demon, and his personality became so irritable and ferocious. The eyes are not respectful, and they are extremely fierce. ”

Haoyu promised to let Niu Fourteen go, also because he thought that Hao Jichen would really kill Hao Jifeng.

To Haoyu's words, Haoping wanted to speak and stopped. Seeing this, Haoyu said: "Haoping, what do you want to say, why should you have any scruples between you and me?"

"Yes, General. The subordinates think that the fourth son's personality is not irritable, nor is he disrespectful. Since the fourth prince suffered from soul loss, on weekdays, the fourth prince is a very kind person, and he never wants to trouble the slave when he can do things by himself. It's just that the minions are afraid that they will be derelict in their duties, so the fourth prince let them serve. Maybe the general didn't believe it, but when the fourth prince was served by the minions, he was very uncomfortable, and he wanted to do it himself. In the eyes of the fourth prince, as long as others respect him, he will naturally respect others. ”

Since the fourth son, Hao Jichen, has lost his spiritual power, Haoyu has been very worried, so he asked Haoping to take care of him. As long as Haoping is empty, he will always go to see what the fourth prince is doing. He sometimes saw the fourth son playing in the yard, and a slave accidentally knocked the fourth son down while walking. At that time, the slave maid was startled, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy. When the fourth prince saw her kneeling down and kowtowing, he was very upset. As soon as he stood up, he didn't care whether he had fallen or not, he first helped the person up, and asked the slave if he was injured, and only after making sure that the slave was okay did he check whether he was injured. As a result, the hand accidentally broke the skin, and the slave maid saw it, and her face was full of horror and she was about to kneel down again. The fourth prince hurriedly supported her, didn't let her kneel down, and comforted her and said that it didn't matter, it was just a little bit of skin, a very small matter, don't take it to heart.

Haoping, who was watching at the time, was confused, the fourth prince was obviously injured, but he was afraid that others would not go away because of this, so he kept comforting her, just to make her feel better. Where has he ever seen such a master, let alone never seen it, even if he has never heard of it.

Occasionally, slaves do wrong things, but these things are not serious. The most ordinary masters can do is to fine them with silver taels, or hit the board. But the fourth prince never punished them, nor was he angry with them, and every time he said it was okay. Although Haoping felt that this was inappropriate, it was not easy to say anything about the fourth son, so he had to let the steward discipline them in private.

"General, the fourth prince is a very kind child. Niu 14 grew up with him since he was a child, how could he watch him die? The general didn't need to worry too much, his subordinates would investigate what was going on. Haoping paused and said, "General, the fourth prince is a genius who is unparalleled in the world. There are all kinds of spiritual methods in the world, maybe the fourth prince has comprehended some other great spiritual methods. If it is really as the general said, what the fourth prince really has is a dark spiritual law. The general should also believe that the fourth prince can control it and reach the top again in the future. ”

Haoyu nodded and sighed deeply, hoping that everything could be as Haoping said, and everything would develop in a good direction.

After that day, Hao Jichen never saw Niu Shishi again, and he couldn't leave Qingfeng Courtyard. In addition to a servant who does housework, there is also a servant who serves him. The minion was a young man much older than him. A tiger spirit was born with a fierce and vicious face, called Hu Ajiu. However, Hao Jichen was not afraid of him, and he didn't take Hao Jichen in his eyes, the reason was very simple, he was sent by his mother to "serve" Hao Jichen.

It's been a month, he doesn't have to go to say goodbye, he hasn't seen his father and mother, and he hasn't heard from Niu Fourteen. Although he has not seen Niu Fourteen, Hao Jichen believes that Niu Fourteen is still alive.

"Hey, Hu Ah Jiu, how is Niu Fourteen now?" Hao Jichen asked every day, until one day Hu Ah Jiu was annoyed by the question, so he told Hao Jichen. It turned out that Niu Fourteen couldn't come to serve him because he was demoted to a gray-clothed minion.

In a big family like the Hao family, the mansions of important officials in the court, the minions in it are naturally divided into high and low. This distinction between high and low is reflected in clothes. There are three levels of minions, which are cyan, brown, and gray.

The gray-clothed minions do the dirtiest and most tiring work, such as pouring night incense.

At the beginning, Niu 14 was able to become the slave of Hao Jichen before, also because Niu 14's father was a second-class brown-clothed slave in the house, and after testing, Niu 14 stood out among the five-year-old minions and became Hao Jichen's personal slave, taking care of Niu 14's daily life.

Niu 14 can serve by the master's side, and he is directly promoted to the Tsing Yi minion. However, each Tsing Yi slave has a different place, and the difference is in the embroidery of the cuffs. The embroidery is the pattern of a small grass, Hao Jichen can think of it without asking himself, the grass is the most humble existence in nature. Grass is not like trees and flowers, trees are tall and flowers are beautiful. And the grass, born short, is trampled under the feet of all things in the forest.

Hao Jichen is really speechless, in this evil feudal era, he doesn't treat slaves as human beings at all. Always tell them that these slaves, their lives are worthless, and they are only born to serve the powerful. They are talking brutes, small grasses that can be trampled at will.

Hu Ajiu is a brown-clothed minion, with three small grasses embroidered on the cuffs, and according to Hao Jichen's understanding, each minion is divided into five levels. Hu Ajiu has three small grasses, and his status is not low among the brown-clothed minions.

"So what is Niu Fourteen doing now?"

Hu Ajiu didn't answer him, Hao Jichen didn't care. Most of the minions look at people with low eyes, and tend to be inflammatory. Now that Hao Jichen has no spiritual power, he was locked up because of trouble. Hu Ajiu is not Hao Jichen's minion, but Madame's minion, if anything happens, Madame will protect him. He treated himself like this, and he also listened to his mother's arrangement.

"Then how is he doing now?" Hao Jichen asked again.

Hu Ajiu said angrily: "What does it matter to me if he is good? Isn't he just a gray-clothed minion, and it is also worth my visit to him?"

Hao Jichen was very helpless, when he had been asking Niu Shishi to talk to him before, he should not call himself a "slave", but call himself "I". I didn't expect to say it now, but this Tiger Ah Jiu also knew how to do it.

"Can you turn into a tiger and show me? I want to see the King of Beasts. ”

"Yo, don't say that, the fourth son, I'm just a minion. Moreover, the tiger is not the king of beasts. Hu Ajiu said as he ate the pastries and snacks originally prepared for Hao Jichen.

Hao Jichen then remembered that the king of beasts in this world was a dragon, the overlord who soared above the nine heavens. However, he had never seen a dragon before, but he had learned from books that it was born with limbs, resembling a horse, with wings on its back, horns on its forehead, and its whole body covered with hard dragon scales. Spread your wings and go straight to the Nine Heavens. Hao Jichen described the appearance of a dragon in his mind, and for him, the appearance of a dragon is actually similar to that of a deer, and deer also have antlers. The difference is that deer do not have scales and wings.

"You can't be the king of beasts, you can change, come and turn into a tiger to show this son. Hao Jichen is still not angry, although he has been in this world for a few months, he still has not been as powerful as the third brother Hao Jifeng.

"Hmph, no change. ”

Hao Jichen is only talking to Hu Ajiu now, and the other minion doesn't know where to run after finishing his work. Therefore, even if Hu Ajiu didn't pay attention to him, he still talked to Hu Ajiu endlessly. Sometimes Hao Jichen thinks that being the master is really downset to be like him.
