Chapter 52, The Mysterious Man in White
"I'm sorry Lord Wang, I'll take it out immediately." Xiao Feng hurriedly took the soup cup out of the table.
At this time, only a touch of slanting sun was left in the sky, rendering the entire sky with a pale yellow afterglow.
In a dwelling in the capital, neat guards surrounded the entire residence, and the patrolling people inside filled the corners of the residence, but the difference was that the clothes worn by these people were different from those in the capital.
At this time, a man stood proudly by the lotus pond.
"Report, Regent, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asks to see you." A guard stepped forward and spoke to the man.
The man didn't turn around, just nodded.
After a while, the guard led a middle-aged man over.
"Below is the Shangshu Wang Shu of the Yelan National Rite Department, meeting the regent." The man named Wang Shu said, with a flattering look on his face.
The man turned his head to look at Wang Shu, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, and he said politely: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be so polite. ”
"Xie Regent, I don't know if the regent is still used to it in my Yelan country? If there is any need, just give it an order. Wang Shu said with a smile, with an officialdom face.
"This king treats him very well, and the scenery of Yelan Country is indeed different from my Netherworld Kingdom, but it also has a different charm."
This man is none other than the regent of the Underworld Kingdom - Nangong Han.
"That's good, this time the official came to inform the regent that the emperor will pick up the dust for the regent in the palace another day." Wang Shu said.
"Yes! Then please ask Lord Wang to express his gratitude to the emperor on behalf of this king, and there is King Lao. Nangong Han said politely.
"Naturally, since it's okay, then the lower official will go back to the palace first to resume his life." After Wang Shu finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Nangong Han and left.
Watching Wang Shu leave, Nangong Han retracted the expression on his face thoughtfully.
On the side, a woman in a purple dress appeared on the side, revealing a hint of charm between a smile and a smile, and the woman's face was covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of eye-catching eyes.
The woman walked to Nangong Han's side, glanced at the direction Wang Shu left, and then looked at Nangong Han, "That emperor is not at ease!" ”
Nangong Han looked at the woman, his face did not change at all, and his tone was even more bland, "Do your thing, and the rest ...... Don't talk too much. Nangong Han glanced at the woman, his eyes were sharp, with a slight oppression.
The woman touched Nangong Han's gaze, and hurriedly lowered her head, not interjecting, obviously the woman was afraid of Nangong Han.
Nangong Han retracted his gaze, didn't say anything, walked straight past the woman, and then left the lotus pond.
The woman looked back at the figure of Nangong Han leaving, her eyes were full of remembrance, and suddenly she thought of something, and her eyes were dark.
"Princess, it's time to go back." The maid on the side reminded.
The woman retracted her gaze, her eyes were flat for a while, "Let's go!" After the woman finished speaking, she left in the opposite direction of Nangong Han.
Nangong Han, the current regent of the Netherworld, is thirty years old, and is the only person of the opposite sex to be crowned king, and then even ascended to the position of regent and controls the Netherworld.
Here, Nangong Han returned to the resting room, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a pigeon as white as jade jumping around the window, cooing in his mouth, as if he was hungry, and on the pigeon's feet, a small note was hung on the pigeon's leg.
As soon as Nangong Han saw the pigeon, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, and even a touch of joy appeared in his eyes.
Nangong Han walked to the window, poured out a little feed from a small bottle on the table and fed it to the pigeon, then took the note from the pigeon's leg and opened it.
Looking at the words on the note, Nangong Han's face was obviously irrepressible with joy, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became larger and larger.
After reading the note, Nangong Han took a small box from the side, and when he opened it, it was filled with exactly the same small note, obviously attaching great importance to the owner who wrote these notes, Nangong Han put the note in, and then closed the lid.
And when Nangong Han finished doing this, the pigeons on the side seemed to be full, fluttered their wings, and then flew away.
Until the pigeon flew away, the smile on Nangong Han's face did not disappear.
"Someone!"
"Yes."
"Go, follow the pigeon, and see where it flies? Remember, don't make a fuss, and come back as soon as you find out. Nangong Han commanded.
"Yes." The guards who were waiting for the order listened and followed in the direction where the dove had flown away.
Looking at the pigeon that had disappeared from sight, Nangong Han chuckled at the corner of his mouth, "This time...... If you are caught by me again, I will not let you go again......"
At this time, in a mountain forest outside the city, a waterfall flowed between the cliffs, splashing silver waves, and by the river below the waterfall, a man dressed in white stood by the river, a green hair hung straight down, only with a white hairband wrapped, the man stood by the river, a shocking face, comparable to a woman, even more beautiful.
And suddenly, a pigeon flew in front of the man, the man grabbed the pigeon, looked at the pigeon's bulging belly, and looked at the pigeon with a disgusted face, "Look at you, so spineless, didn't I teach you!" Don't eat what strangers give, in case someone catches it one day, it will become a roast pigeon, look at you, you are so fat, you can't fly. The man pointed to the pigeon and blamed, his face full of disgust.
As if they understood, the dove cooed, as if protesting against the man's taunt.
At this moment, the bushes on the side suddenly trembled slightly, the man's eyes drifted slightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled faintly, "Look, flying so slowly, people have followed, you said that you are also a spirit pigeon, are you ashamed?" The man whispered.
Then the man turned his fingers slightly, and in an instant, dozens of thin silver needles flew towards the bushes not far away, and then a muffled snort sounded in the bushes.
Looking at the man again, he didn't know when he had disappeared in place.
At this moment, a group of people came out of the bushes, looked at the man who was no longer there, and looked at each other.
"What about people? Where did it go? One of them asked the others, but they all shook their heads.
One of them pulled out the silver needle that was tied to his arm, and looked at the silver needle that did not stain a trace of blood, "Forget it, go back and restore your life." ”
The rest of the people looked at each other, and soon the group disappeared into the forest.
And when the group had just left, the man who had just disappeared suddenly walked out from the other side, and watching the group leave, the man sneered: "It's getting more and more watery." After the man finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the capital, and then walked in the direction of the city.
And time flies, at this time the night has covered the whole sky, shining stars all over the sky, and at this time in the capital, it has been quiet and silent, only the faint light of the watch is still flickering in the streets and alleys, accompanied by the sound of the husband telling the time.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles."
And in such a dark night, a figure quickly passed through the roof, so fast that people were quietly out of reach.
Splendid Pavilion
Ren Ji was sitting at the table, looking at the ledger on the table, and was looking at the accounts one by one.
"I didn't expect that in just this short period of time, the profit has doubled compared to before." Lian Ji looked at the account, her face couldn't contain her excitement, and it was even more unbelievable.
"It seems that the original decision was correct." Lian Ji was a little lucky, if she had been a little hesitant at the beginning, maybe today's achievement would not have belonged to her Splendid Pavilion.
Renji smiled and looked at the good ledger on the table, with a happy expression. "Now, I should be the first!" Hasuhime was smug.
At this moment, there was a muffled sound from the window, and a man had already appeared in Hasuhime's room.
"Who!" Lian Ji was startled, and looked at the man vigilantly, and when Lian Ji saw the man's appearance clearly, she immediately knelt on the ground with a respectful face, "Pavilion master, my subordinates don't know that the pavilion master is coming, and I hope that the pavilion master will forgive the sin." Lian Ji knelt on the ground and said with her head bowed.
"Get up!" The man didn't blame him at all, and walked straight to the table, picked up the ledger on the table, and looked through it.
"Pavilion Master Xie." Lian Ji stood up and looked at the figure in front of her, dressed in a white robe, giving people a spotless feeling, especially that face, even Lian Ji knew that she was ashamed.
"Looks like the recent accounts are good! I heard that you befriended a strange man? The man looked at Ren Ji and asked.
"Yes." Lian Ji replied, and then told the whole story of what happened to Gu Yue.
And when Lian Ji finished speaking, the man looked curious, "Hearing you say this, I am more and more interested in him, and I want to meet that person more and more." The man said.
"It's a pity that we haven't found any trace of that person so far, and he usually comes to contact us for transactions." Lian Ji said with a slight regret.
"Really? You don't have to meddle in this matter, I will decide this matter myself, and you can do it as usual. The man commanded.
"Yes."
"By the way, I will stay in the capital for a while in the near future, and I will be instructed to go down, and all matters in the cabinet will be handed over to a few others." The man said.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." With that, Ren Ji turned around and left the room.
The man closed the ledger, walked to the window, and looked at the starry night sky, as if there was a sadness in his eyes.
In a room in the Mo Mansion in the other place, it was pitch black, without a trace of light, and in such darkness, a faint figure sat on a chair beside the table, not making any sound, only shallow breathing.
At this moment, the closed door creaked, and someone opened, and a figure walked into the room with an oil lamp, and the light of the fire flickered on the man's face, and it was obscure.
"Ma'am." The figure called out to the seated man, his tone full of worry.
And this person is Liu's henchman Aunt Rong, and the one sitting on the chair is Liu.
Rong Gu was holding an oil lamp and was about to light the rest of the candles in the room, but was stopped by Liu's mouth.
"Aunt Rong, don't order." Liu's faint voice came, making people feel creepy.
"Ma'am." When Rong Gu heard Liu's words, she didn't light the other candles, and shouted worriedly again.
"Aunt Rong, I'm sorry! It was I who hurt Aunt Yun and your sister. Liu sobbed, his voice trembling, full of self-blame.
Hearing the word Yun Gu, Rong Gu's body trembled slightly, and under the light of the candle, a teardrop could be clearly seen hanging on Rong Gu's eyes.
"Madam, don't be like this, I don't blame you, as long as Madame is fine, it wants the lives of our two sisters, and we are willing." Rong Gu opened her mouth to comfort.
