Chapter 346: Things to Do

Whether it was as a woo or for any other reason, Huang Qiong didn't want to see Liu Hu's old mansion completely ruined. Because as a family that once lived in, compared with traditional Chinese families, the old house should also be the ancestral house, and Huang Qiong still understands what it means to the Chinese people for thousands of years. For those who are out and about, the old mansion means the roots left by their ancestors.

So without Liu Hu's knowledge, not long after entering Zhengzhou, Huang Qiong sent a sum of money to Jian Yong and asked him to send someone to renovate Liu Hu's old house. Receiving Huang Qiong's request, Jian Yong naturally did not dare to slack off. Capable men were dispatched to hurry up and repair the old house before it froze.

Fortunately, the old mansion of Liu Hu's family, after all, is just the home of an ordinary rural gentry, and the overall pattern is not large, and it is only slightly larger than a partial courtyard in King Jing's Mansion. The Liu family was defeated, Liu Hu's family went out to be homeless, and this old mansion was not abandoned. was occupied by the big housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion in a grand manner, as a foreign mansion that he came to Mizhou to do business.

There are also more than twenty women in it, who have been occupied by him by various means. Because Liu Hu's hometown is located at the junction of Zhengzhou and Mizhou. Compared with the densely populated surroundings of Zhengzhou, it seems very quiet. Therefore, the chief housekeeper not only regarded this place as an outer house, but even arranged this place as a nest for him to eat, drink and have fun, plus win over officials.

I live here for half of the year. He also entertained officials from various states and counties under Zhengzhou Prefecture and even Henan Road. Huang Qiong's cousin, the former Zhengzhou soldier and horse envoy, has five or six months a year and wants to live here for a long time. The big butler has done a lot of hard work here. Not only did it transform a Henan house into an authentic Jiangnan courtyard.

In order to control those officials who come to play for their own use, a lot of organs are also arranged for eavesdropping and peeping. It wasn't until the big housekeeper was slashed by Huang Qiong and the women in the courtyard were dismissed with money that this place was a little deserted. But the time is not long. Therefore, it does not take a long time to repair.

The whole renovation actually removed more of the decoration and items used for lewd pleasure by the great butler. Replace the beds and window paper in each room. At the same time, the green tiles that were somewhat overstepped on the roof and could only be used in the prince's mansion were replaced with black tiles used by ordinary people, and fire dragons were laid underground.

After the renovation is completed, this three-story courtyard also looks elegant. It is in harmony with the surrounding hills, rivers, woods, and two small lakes nearby. It's just that in late autumn now, the bleak autumn wind has taken away all the green. If you come here in the summer, it will be quite pleasant.

After Huang Qiong arrived at this annex, she fell in love with this courtyard at first sight. If it weren't for the fact that this was Liu Hu's old house, Huang Qiong would have the heart to buy it directly and use it as one of his own courtyards. Anyway, it's not far from Jingzhao, and it's a matter of two days to get a fast horse. When the heart is tired, it is also a pleasant thing to bring the beloved woman here to cultivate.

It's a pity that this is Liu Hu's old house, and no matter how Huang Qiong likes it, she can only cut her love secretly. Because Huang Qiong came over this time, she did not notify any official in Michigan. When he left, only Su Jin and Jian Yong knew that he had left Zhengzhou. Therefore, after settling in this old mansion, Huang Qiong, who had no one to disturb, seemed very clean.

After looking at the internal layout of this mansion, Huang Qiong planned to live here before Li Xiu got married and cultivate well. After being stationed in Zhengzhou, although Huang Qiong didn't seem to be in charge of things on the surface, she let the local officials do it. In fact, he has been paying close attention to it, and all the big things are his final decision.

And since he was stationed in Zhengzhou, he not only had to solve the problems of people's livelihood in Zhengzhou, but also fought with the King of Shu behind the scenes, and the master in the palace whose hometown was in Zhengzhou. even has to fight with his own emperor Lao Tzu, as well as forces from all sides who want to put their hands in and make a big profit. During this period of time, Huang Qiong was actually very tired, and it was not ordinary tired.

In order to allow Su Jin and Jian Yong to move forward lightly, let go and restore Zhengzhou's vitality as soon as possible. He, the Zhengzhou disposal envoy, has carried too many things for these two that should not be burdened. Huang Qiong felt that her time in Zhengzhou was much more tiring than the nearly a year in Beijing after leaving the palace.

At present, the Zhengzhou problem has been largely solved, and all that remains is to recuperate. Today, the king of Shu is in Zhengzhou, and possibly even on Henan Road, and the last bit of secret power is disposed of. Huang Qiong, who was much more relaxed in her heart, made up her mind that it would be good to cultivate here for three or five days. It just so happens that you can also let the women around you relax together.

Not long after Huang Qiong settled in Liu Hu's old mansion, Liu Hu, who had taken the 100 cavalry allocated by Huang Qiong, mended the knife and buried the assassin's corpse. Seeing the renovated old mansion, Liu Hu's expression was obviously a little excited. After seeing Huang Qiong drinking tea in the living room, Liu Hu, who knew what Huang Qiong had done for himself, kowtowed to Huang Qiong three times without saying a word.

These three heads, Liu Hu kowtowed sincerely. Even Huang Qiong, who was sitting in the right position, heard the sound of her head banging on the floor tiles. However, when Liu Hu was kowtowing, Huang Qiong did not get up to stop it, but sat on a chair and received his three heads. It wasn't until Liu Hu's three heads were knocked that Huang Qiong got up and helped him up.

Liu Hu, who stood up, looked at Huang Qiong with red eyes and said, "Master, you not only rescued the Hu family from danger, but also helped the tiger avenge the destruction of the family, and rescued the sister-in-law for the tiger." Now the tiger's former house is renovated, your great kindness to the tiger family, even if the tiger is broken bones, it is difficult to repay. ”

Liu Hu's words, but Huang Qiong smiled and said, "Brother Liu, why do you and I have to see each other like this?" These things, but this king, who is a brother, has done something for his subordinates that he can do, and in fact, it is just something that should be done. You don't have to think too much about it, just do what you have to do. I don't want to be broken, this king doesn't want to lose your brother. ”

Huang Qiong's reassurance calmed Liu Hu down. Just remembering one thing, he said with some stumbling: "Lord Wang, in today's battle, your skills are much higher than those of tigers." The tiger stays with you, in fact, it doesn't mean much. The tiger is a little confused, why did you try to keep the tiger by your side in the first place. ”

Liu Hu is a straight-hearted person who doesn't speak very well. And he also thinks that he doesn't have to be too scrupulous about what he says to the king, and he will naturally say whatever he has in his heart. Today's battle can be described as quite a shock to Liu Hu. He never thought that he, a scholar-like master, was actually a martial arts master, and his kung fu was still above him.

remembered that the two met for the first time, and he smashed into the British king, and his body was crooked by his fist. Liu Hu's face was a little red, and he knew that others were letting him at that time. Otherwise, if the two of them really compete, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss. That's why he couldn't understand why his master wanted to recruit him?

Regarding Liu Hu's question, Huang Qiong did not answer him immediately. Instead, he put down the tea bowl in his hand, walked outside the door and looked at the sunset on the horizon, and said after a long time: "First of all, Brother Liu is a person who is very affectionate and sexual, and he is a person who can be entrusted with his back when he goes there." For a person with a temperament like Brother Liu, this king naturally wants to make friends with Brother Liu. ”

"The generation of dog slaughterers is more righteous, and the reckless generation is more heroic, this is the truth, and it is the original intention of this king to be willing to intersect with Brother Liu. Second, although this king is good at martial arts, it is not suitable for this king to shoot at any time. If he hadn't worried about Sister Xiu and Hanyan today, this king wouldn't have made a move. ”

"Because the person who taught the king martial arts has repeatedly warned the king that he is not allowed to use martial arts unless he is at a critical moment of life and death. You also know the identity of this king, once the matter of this king's martial arts is leaked, it will set off a big storm in the court. Therefore, in front of outsiders before the moment of life and death, if the king can not make a move, he should try not to make a move. ”

"There are some things that should be kept out of the way to outsiders. Outsiders know too much, and it will not do this king any good. Besides, who said that if you know martial arts, you don't need helpers? A good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, and a good man still needs three people to help, let alone this king? Brother Liu has been with this king for a while, and some things should be no stranger. ”

"It's been less than a year since I left the palace, and counting this time, this king has already encountered two assassinations. I don't know how many similar situations will be in the future, so this king also needs someone who is loyal and reliable and has enough skills to be around. Speaking of this, Huang Qiong, who didn't want to continue the topic, changed the topic and said, "Everything over there has been dealt with?" ”

"Back to the master, the tiger personally brought people to mend the knife to ensure that not a single living mouth was left. The head has been brought to the horses of the Xiaocai battalion returning to Zhengzhou, and they will be hung at the city gate to show the public when they return. As for that Yi Ying, the tiger had already brought people over. Now, I would like to tell you what to do with this woman. Huang Qiong changed the topic, and Liu Hu did not continue to ask about that matter.

He is honest and straightforward, but he is not stupid. After Huang Qiong said this, he knew that he, the master, didn't want to talk about anything on this topic. Now that the king of England can let himself know that he is good at martial arts, he is already trusting enough. If you are asking questions, you are really looking for yourself.

Liu Hu's request, Huang Qiong pondered a little and said: "Let her stay honest first, there are some things that this king has not yet considered." Wait until you think it through, and then deal with her business. You've been busy all day, so let's go and rest first. Rest assured, at least for a short time, there will be no more unsightly people to disturb you, and your master is safe now. ”

Looking at Huang Qiong's face, there was a slight hint of fatigue that was rare after recovering from the injury. Liu Hu didn't say anything more, turned around and left. However, how dare Liu Hu, who left the living room, really relax? Especially after the 1,000 military horses before they completed that mission. At present, except for the twenty sword players and ten archers who have changed their civilian clothes, the rest have been transferred back.

The loyalty of the thirty cavalry battalion sergeants, Liu Hu was sure that there was no problem. But after leaving the team, their skills were too low. Maybe to deal with one or two ordinary thieves who don't open their eyes, Liu Hu believes that there is no problem. But against those people I met today, even two or three more people would be difficult to resist.

Although bows and arrows are a sharp weapon against martial arts masters, the problem is that ten archers are too few. In addition to these thirty plainclothes sergeants, there are only those few women around Huang Qiong at the moment, and there are six guards who can be used. Especially after what happened today, the manpower seems to be really thin. So, will Liu Hu really rest assured?

However, although it is Huang Qiong, or Liu Hu and Li Xiu, who have really returned to their hometowns, although they deliberately act in a low-key manner. But the group was freshly dressed and angry, and they were beautiful women, plus more than 30 guards, so they couldn't keep a low profile anyway. Even for this village, it can be said that it is not an ordinary attention-grabbing.
