Chapter 82: The Joy of Housewarming
82 The joy of housewarming
"Helper, the Duke of Qi has already gone to Jingzhou, and His Majesty who saw him yesterday, Yuwen Hu, who saw him earlier, also said goodbye to Princess Qingshi in the long pavilion." In the peach orchard, the river breeze reported.
Zhu Xuanzhi nodded and asked, "Has the letter to Mr. Pang arrived?" β
"According to the distance, it should have arrived, even if Mr. Pang didn't reply, Ji Xin's reply should be on the way." Jiang Lei stepped forward and said.
"The success or failure of Qi Guogong's trip to Jingzhou will fall on Mr. Pang and Ji Xin." Zhu Xuanzhi muttered to himself.
"Don't worry, Mr. Pang will help us, not to mention Ji Xin, he is not only a senior disciple of Mr. Pang, but also a person in the gang, and he is still reliable." Uncle Tian came over and said.
"Well, this time we must firmly control Jingzhou in the hands of His Majesty and prepare for the future." Zhu Xuanzhi said confidently.
"Let Qi Guogong take charge of Jingzhou, there won't be any big mess in Jingzhou, but the attitude of this Qi Guogong and Yuwen Hu ...... It's a bit ambiguous. Uncle Tian said thoughtfully.
"It's okay to fall down when Qu Yi is upset, I'm afraid I'm afraid of stepping on two boats, this time it depends on Ji Xin's ability, to see if he can firmly tie Qi Guogong to His Majesty's dragon boat," Zhu Xuanzhi said.
"Hey, in the face of power, everything has to make way for it, Qi Guogong and Your Majesty, but my own brothers, they are also so swaying." Jiang Feng sighed.
"Emperor Xian and Yuwen Hu are still cousins? No, it's not ......" Jiang Lei said halfway, and then felt speechless, because Yuwen Hu poisoned the first emperor because of Zhao Gui's "rebellion".
Zhu Xuanzhi didn't say anything, but Jiang Feng behind him glared at Jiang Lei, and Jiang Lei knew that he was speechless, so he lowered his head. At this time, Zhu Xuanzhi asked, "The new house is almost ready, right?" β
"Yes, it will be ventilated these days, and if you pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, the helper can move over. There is a large bamboo forest in it, but it is not as good as Yizhou Zhuhai. Uncle Tian said.
"It's time to move out, the Nightbreakers have been staring at us so hard lately. If you live in someone else's place for a long time, you can't go away. Zhu Xuanzhi said.
"Rest assured, we have learned a lot about the situation of the Night Evil recently, and we can let them know how powerful our lanterns are when necessary. The new house also has the Mo family's mechanism, so as to ensure that they have no return! Uncle Tian said confidently.
"Uncle Tian, then please pick a date, let's move over, and we have to say something to Dugu Zhen." Zhu Xuanzhi said to Uncle Tian.
"Well, I'll definitely pick a good day, but the new house is all good, it's just a name, so the helper should help make one." Uncle Tian said.
"Name? Name...... Since it's a new house, let's call it Hsinchu-ri. Zhu Xuanzhi said with great interest.
"Hsinchuli? Good, good name. Uncle Tian and Jiang Feng praised, but Jiang Lei underestimated: "In the new bamboo, in the new bamboo?" β
Zhu Xuanzhi smiled and continued to read. Until the night, Zhu Xuanzhi stretched his waist, put down the scroll, and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep." Jiang Feng came over and said, "Helper, it's too late to sleep." With that, he served Zhu Xuanzhi and slept.
"Miss Lu, are they okay?" Zhu Xuanzhi, who had just been lying down, suddenly remembered that Lu Weixi was still living in that small farm yard, so he asked casually.
"Huh? Miss Lu? Miss Lu Weixi? Jiang Feng was a little confused by the help leader's question, but he immediately understood, and said: "Miss Lu is now well settled and has sent someone to protect her, will the gang see her?" β
"Forget it, you go and rest." Zhu Xuanzhi said.
"Yes." After Jiang Feng saw Zhu Xuanzhi fall asleep, he quietly withdrew.
Tonight, there is a gust of wind in the air, which also brings a touch of coolness to this hot summer day. But......
In the sky above the peach orchard, more than a dozen flying fires suddenly flew into the courtyard in the wind, landed on the peach trees, roofs, and flew into the windows.
Immediately, Jiang Feng rushed out like an arrow, sending out a red arrow into the air, and then quickly rushed to Zhu Xuanzhi's room, and together with Jiang Lei, he set Zhu Xuanzhi out. Uncle Tian took his sword in front of him to block the flying arrows. At this time, Taoyuan was immediately a sea of fire.
The brothers of the Lantern Society, who heard the news, tightly surrounded the city, and strictly protected Zhu Xuanzhi in the middle, and at this time, there were already shouts of killing outside.
"Helper, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, should we call our brothers to put out the fire? When the danger outside was lifted, we went outside the hospital. Uncle Tian said loudly.
"Inform the surrounding neighbors to be careful, if the garden burns, burn it, anyway, Dugu Luo burned his own home, it's a pity to have those few books in the house." Zhu Xuanzhi said coldly.
As he spoke, the shouting outside became more intense, but after a while, the voice gradually became quieter, until finally the people outside shouted: "It's all solved, what's the situation inside?" β
"The helper is fine, you guys check again to see if there is any alive?" Uncle Tian shouted.
There was a sound of "puff" mending the knife outside, and after a while, the outside shouted: "Helper, it's okay, the fire inside is too big, you can withdraw." β
Zhu Xuanzhi looked at the peach orchard that turned into a sea of fire, sighed and said, "Let's go." Then he was surrounded by people and walked out of the courtyard. When he went out, he saw that a large area had fallen on the ground, and swords, bows and arrows were scattered all over the ground. The brothers who answered outside asked, "Is the helper alright, are you all right?" Count them all and see if they all come out? β
"That's right! Look left and right, are they all out? Uncle Tian said loudly.
Everyone immediately looked left and right, and then Jiang Feng suddenly shouted, "Where is the eldest brother?" Where did Big Brother go? β
"What about Jiang Lei? Jiang LeiβBrother Jiang Leiβ" Everyone shouted.
"Didn't you come out, and you were with us just now?" Aunt Tian said.
"Jiang Feng, come in and find it!" After Zhu Xuanzhi finished speaking, Jiang Feng rushed in again, and then the two of them went to answer.
said that after the three of them rushed in, they found that Jiang Lei had some darkness on his face, and rushed out of the sea of fire with something in his arms. Jiang Feng asked a little anxiously, "What did you do?" What do you hold in your arms? β
Jiang Leihan smiled and said, "Go!" Let's talk about it later. After speaking, they walked out of the courtyard together, came to Zhu Xuanzhi, took out a burned and somewhat broken book from his arms, wiped the paper ashes on it with his hand, handed it to Zhu Xuanzhi, and said a little embarrassedly: "Helper, look, what is the Xiliangzhi that you like to read the most, it is a few pages burned in front of it......"
"Who told you to go?" Zhu Xuanzhi said angrily.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, it was the first time they saw the gang leader making such a big fire, in their image, the gang leader always looked confident and complacent, never blushing, and did not scold much. But this time, he was so angry with Jiang Lei, who valued trust very much.
"This ...... Didn't you just say it's a pity? Jiang Lei said.
"Wouldn't it be a pity if you had something?" Take's hands were already shaking.
"Don't be angry, Jiang Lei is also a little less brainy, you better go to the inn for one night first, I'll clean it up here, and wait until tomorrow to make a plan." Uncle Tian said.
Zhu Xuanzhi looked at Jiang Lei's innocent face, shook his head, stepped forward and patted Jiang Lei's shoulder, then put the book in his arms very seriously, didn't say anything, turned around and left. The brothers in the back were tightly protected.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xuanzhi got up from the inn and came to the Weiguo Mansion of Dugu Xin, the general of the Zhu Kingdom. The first to come out was naturally Dugu Zhen, and after he saw Zhu Xuan, he said with a smile: "Why did Brother Lan have time to come here today?" Did you come to me? β
Zhu Xuanzhi smiled and said, "Of course, let's also take a look at Old General Dugu and General Dugu." β
"What, Brother Lan has something to do with his eldest brother and father? Let's go inside first. Brother Lan, please. Dugu Zhen asked.
"I'm here to apologize." Zhu Xuanzhi said as he entered the door.
"Apologize?" Dugu Zhen said suspiciously.
"Due to some disputes involving rivers and lakes, Taoyuan was burned down by a fire last night, and today I apologized," Zhu Xuanzhi said.
"What?" Dugu Zhen was shocked, quickly looked Zhu Xuanzhi up and down, and asked, "The peach orchard was burned, so are you okay?" β
"It's okay, I burned down the peach orchard in your house, I feel ashamed, I came to visit the old general Dugu and General Dugu today to apologize, Brother Zhen, I'm really sorry!" Zhu Xuanzhi arched his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Dugu Zhen waved his hand and said: "Brother Lan, don't blame yourself, if a yard is burned, burn it, as long as the people are fine, hmph, it must be the person who attacked us a few times ago, it's really ghostly!" β
Zhu Xuanzhi didn't speak, it seemed to be acquiescing, at this time several people had come to the front hall of the Weiguo Mansion, Dugu Zhen said: "Father, Brother Lan, I'm afraid it's hard to see, he almost doesn't see guests now, but the eldest brother will come out in a while, Brother Lan will sit down for a while." β
"Okay, are the old general Dugu and Grandma Dugu okay?" Taketake's asked.
"My father is fine, but my grandmother is older and not very tough." Dugu Zhen replied, and then suddenly remembered and asked, "Brother Lan, the peach orchard was destroyed, where do you live now?" Shall I arrange another yard for you? β
"Thank you Brother Zhen for your kindness, because of the fact that the peach orchard has been destroyed, how can you be embarrassed to disturb the house again, I stayed at the inn taken care of by the brothers in the gang last night."
"How's that going to work? You are my guest, how can I let Brother Lan stay at the guest house? If Wen Ruo knows, he will have to laugh at me. Dugu Zhen said,
"It's okay, the inn is full of their own people, and besides, the new house has been found, and we will move over in a few days, and you and Wen Ruo and Qingshan will come to see it when the time comes." Zhu Xuanzhi invited.
"Really? Congratulations to Brother Lan on his housewarming! Dugu Zhen said with a smile.
