Chapter 120: The Swill Collector

After a while, the back door of King Qing's Mansion opened, and it was Tan Yuan who opened the door, and when the man saw that it was Tan Yuan, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Lord Tan, why did you come to open the door in person today?" ”

"I happened to be at the back door, so I opened it, are you here to collect swill?" Tan Yuan asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If you go back to the adult, the villain is specifically responsible for collecting swill for the palace, and I have seen the adult a few times, and the adult may not be impressed." The man said with a smile.

"The swill is over there." Tan Yuan pointed to a corner in the courtyard.

"Little one knows, thank you, sir......" the man said, and walked into the courtyard.

Tan Yuan looked at the two forbidden soldiers outside the door, smiled slightly, and asked, "The two brothers have worked hard, do you want to go into the house and have a cup of tea?" ”

"No need, I'm waiting for official business, I don't dare to slack off, thank you for your kindness!" One of them directly rejected Tan Yuan's invitation.

Tan Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Then it won't affect the two of you." ”

As soon as Tan Yuan's words fell, the man who collected the swill walked out, panting and said to Tan Yuan: "My lord, there is a lot of swill today, and the small one can't move it, can you ......?"

"I almost forgot, I'll call two people to help you out." Tan Yuan said, and walked into the courtyard to find someone.

"Thank you, sir!" The man thanked him repeatedly.

After a while, Tan Yuan came over with a few subordinates, pointed to the two swill buckets in the corner, and then ordered: "You guys, take a hand, carry these two buckets to the ox cart outside!" ”

"Yes!"

The subordinates rolled up their sleeves and carried the two buckets onto the ox cart outside the door, and the man hurriedly thanked Tan Yuan: "Thank you, sir!" Thank you, sir! ”

"Okay, okay, let's go, remember to send the bucket over early tomorrow morning!" Tan Yuan commanded.

"Don't worry, the little one will be cleaned and sent here!" The man said with a smile.

Tan Yuan waved his hand, signaling that he could go, the man was also interested, and hurriedly retreated, and when the door closed, the man did not forget to nod to the two forbidden soldiers, and the two still kept a distance from him, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! "Go at once," said the man, and hurriedly climbed into the ox cart, waved his whip, and drove the ox cart away.

Yecheng was almost at the time of curfew, and the man who collected the swill also drove the ox cart, wanting to return to his residence as soon as possible, just when the ox cart came to the mouth of a secluded alley, suddenly more than a dozen people from the patrol battalion appeared in front of him to block the way, and the man was so frightened that he hurriedly got out of the car, and before he could speak, the people from the patrol camp on the opposite side shouted: "What people! ”

"The villain collects swill, all the officials are ......"

"It's curfew time, why are you still wandering around the city? Come with us! After the man finished speaking, four people walked out behind him and walked towards the man.

"Oh, my lord, I'm going back after collecting the swill at this hour every day, isn't it time for curfew yet......" The man knelt on the ground in fright and explained.

"You mean Lao Tzu wronged you?"

"My ......, my lord"

"Don't talk nonsense! Get him out of here! The man interrupted the man's words and ordered his subordinates loudly.

The man didn't have time to defend himself, so he was taken away by the people of the patrol battalion, and at the same time, there was a sudden movement in the swill bucket on the ox cart, and the people of the patrol battalion heard the reputation, only to see a person push open the lid of the swill bucket and stand out from inside, this person was none other than Shi Zun.

"See Your Highness! My subordinates have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of the Commander! The man at the head hurriedly knelt down, saluted Shi Zun, and did not forget to wave to his subordinates to help Shi Zun off the ox cart.

"Where is Liu Rong? Why can't you come by yourself! Shi Zun asked as he was helped out of the bucket.

"Back to His Highness, the Lord Commander is waiting for His Highness in a safe place, and his subordinates will escort His Highness forward!"

"Lead the way!" Shi Zun smelled the smell of his body, and he felt disgusted and disgusting.

"Your Highness, please!" The man hurriedly got up and led the way for Shi Zun, while the rest of the people were also very interested in making way for Shi Zun and obediently followed behind.

It didn't take long for the man to take Shi Zun to the back door of a courtyard, and then knocked on the door, and the door opened from the inside, and it was Liu Rong, the commander of the patrol battalion, who opened the door.

"Your Highness, please!" Liu Rong hurriedly turned sideways to give way and asked Shi Zun to enter the door.

Shi Zun didn't say anything, raised his legs and stepped in, and followed Liu Rong into a room.

"Let Your Highness suffer! Today, after receiving His Royal Highness's order, his subordinates immediately arranged for someone to prepare, and asked His Highness to bathe and change clothes here! The subordinates at the palace gate have also been arranged, and when His Royal Highness finishes bathing and changing clothes, his subordinates will personally escort His Highness forward! ”

"Commander Liu, I've bothered you! Step aside! Shi Zun said, and without looking at Liu Rong much, he waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

"Yes......" Liu Rong bowed slightly, then turned around and shouted outside the door: "Someone!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two young and beautiful maidservants walked in outside the door, standing there motionless with some restraint.

"Good life to serve His Highness to bathe and change clothes!" Liu Rong instructed the two maidservants.

"Yes......"

"Then the subordinates will retire first, the subordinates are outside, and His Highness can tell him if he has anything!" Liu Rong said with a flattering smile.

Shi Zun had already taken off his robe and threw it on the ground, but he didn't answer, just waved his hand with his back to Liu Rong.

Before the hour arrived, Shi Zun had already crossed the secluded path to the back garden near the Taiyi Pavilion, and it was the dead of night, and there was no one here.

Shi Zun stood in the dark, quietly waiting for Liu Guifei's arrival. The night breeze blows through the treetops, the occasional chirping of birds, and the moonlight reflects on the pond, casting a veil over the sparkling waters.

Shi Zun waited for a while, looked up at the sky, and estimated that it should have been time, but Liu Guifei had not yet come, and Shi Zun couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Just when Shi Zun was a little impatient, Shi Zun vaguely heard a sound of broken footsteps, so he quietly walked a few steps forward, looked around, and sure enough, someone came over with a lantern.

Through the faint candlelight and hazy moonlight, Shi Zun saw that it was Liu Guifei and her personal maid Xiaoxiang.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Xiang shouted softly.

Shi Zun heard Xiaoxiang's voice, and then walked out from behind the stone with confidence.

"The king is here." Shi Zun replied in a low voice.

"!" Xiao Xiang gently tugged at Liu Guifei's sleeve and pointed in the direction.

"You go around and watch, and someone comes and reports immediately." Liu Guifei instructed Xiao Xiang.

"Yes......" Xiao Xiang nodded, and then handed the lantern in her hand to Liu Guifei.

Liu Guifei carried a lantern and walked behind a rockery, while Shi Zun followed behind her.

Liu Guifei suddenly stopped, put the lantern in her hand on the ground, and Shi Zun immediately stopped. Liu Guifei stood there motionless and didn't speak, Shi Zun was cheeky, hugged Liu Guifei from behind with a smile, kissed her cheek, and asked in a low voice: "Call me urgently, what's the so-called matter?" I heard you're pregnant, it's mine, right? ”

Liu Guifei pushed Shi Zun away, turned around and looked at Shi Zun coldly, and didn't speak.

Shi Zun was taken aback, looking at Liu Guifei's indifferent expression, a little inexplicable, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?" I haven't seen you for many days and become so rusty? ”

"I'm asking you something, and you must tell you the truth!" Liu Guifei said coldly.

Shi Zun seemed to have guessed most of it in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "You ask." ”

"What happened on Wolong Mountain, is it a play that you deliberately arranged!"

"Yes!"

Shi Zun's answer was extremely crisp, even Liu Guifei didn't expect it, she originally thought that Shi Zun would deny it, even if Shi Zun really denied it, full of lies, she was willing to believe those lies.

But Shi Zun actually admitted it like this.

Liu Guifei couldn't help but shed tears, her mind was blank for a while, and the anger in her heart was difficult to suppress.

only heard a "snap", and a loud slap fell on Shi Zun's face. As soon as this slap was finished, Liu Guifei and Shi Zun were both stunned, Liu Guifei was emotional, as if she didn't know what she had done, and Shi Zun also touched her hot face, but she didn't react yet.

After a while, Shi Zun spoke: "If you are still unhappy in your heart, even if you beat and scold, I will never resist." ”

Liu Guifei was already in tears at this time, she raised her head and looked at Shi Zun. "Is everything just your conspiracy?" he asked. Are all the so-called promises you coaxed me into lies? ”

"It's not!" Shi Zun decisively refused to admit these words this time.
