Chapter Eighty-Four: The Bear Mansion
For many people, peaceful days are rare, but for many people, calm means greater danger.
Since returning home two days ago, Xiong Tingbi's heart has not been calm, although he has been with his family for the past few days, but his heart is always empty. In the past few days, Xiong Tingbi has been worrying, but also constantly reflecting on himself, is his persistence wrong for so many years, and is there any point in doing this by himself?
Some were bored wandering around the yard, and Xiong Tingbi's mood at this time was very complicated.
"Master, there are people outside asking to see you." An old housekeeper came to Xiong Tingbi's side, handed a greeting note to Xiong Tingbi, and said respectfully.
The bear mansion has been very deserted these days, and the people who used to always come to visit have disappeared this time. Probably this is the rule of officialdom, and at this time no one does not care about themselves.
Listening to the old man's words, Xiong Tingbi was stunned, he didn't expect that someone would come to see him at this time. took the name card in the butler's hand and slowly opened it.
The next moment, Xiong Tingbi was stunned, Young Master Long, I don't know a person surnamed Long! Besides, the surname Long seems to be too few. And this surname seems to be very taboo, who is this person? After a while, Xiong Tingbi said to the housekeeper behind him: "Where is the person?" ”
"Back to the master, in the living room." The old butler replied.
Leaving the garden quickly, although Xiong Tingbi didn't know who it was, since this was later, there must be something. It must be about yourself, otherwise you won't be able to come, whether you recognize it or not.
Xiong Tingbi came to the living room and saw the person, and then frowned tightly. This is a young man, who looks childish, wearing a fine silk gown, and a white hat on his head, and a piece of cyan jade in front of the hat is very special. There is a gold and jade belt around his waist, a jade pendant on it, and a pair of thin-soled fast boots waiting on his feet.
Such a young man is either rich or expensive at first glance, and what surprised Xiong Tingbi was that this young man actually had a sword at his waist. At this time, many literati wore swords, which were a symbol of status and an ornament. But Xiong Tingbi could see that the young man's sword was a sword that could kill, although the sword was still hidden in the scabbard of the white shark skin.
What made Xiong Tingbi dissatisfied was the young man's seat, as a guest, the young man was sitting on the main seat at this time. This is a very rude thing, it can be said to be contempt for the master, **naked slap in the face!
Seeing this scene, Xiong Tingbi suddenly felt angry, but he did not rush out recklessly, but walked out slowly.
Walking into the hall, Xiong Tingbi found that there was another person behind the young man, and it was a thin man. He looks like he is in his fifties, and there is nothing unusual about it. But Xiong Tingbi immediately sensed that this person was extraordinary and dangerous, and this person felt that he was dangerous.
After looking at this man himself, when he saw the man's bright eyes and wide fingers, Xiong Tingbi knew that this was a master. At this time, looking at the young man, Xiong Tingbi was much more cautious, who is this young man?
When Xiong Tingbi looked at the two of them, the young man was also looking him up and down, in the eyes of the young man, Xiong Tingbi was a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he has been in the killing field for a long time, Xiong Tingbi does not seem to have the kind of slaughter that kills the generals, and looks more like a wealthy squire.
The young man used to be a black-faced man, and only then did he realize how wrong this understanding was. Xiong Tingbi is not only not black, but also very white, looking like a rich man.
"The door is a guest, no matter what kind of guest, Xiong is welcome." didn't lose his temper, Xiong Tingbi walked to the bottom and sat down slowly, he didn't seem to care about the young man's unreasonableness, and his tone was extraordinarily calm.
"It's better to be famous than to meet, Lord Xiong's name can be described as thunderous, and today I can see that there is no vanity under the fame, and Lord Xiong is really worthy of his name!" The young man didn't get up either, and glanced at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, although his words were complimentary, there was no flattering expression on his face.
Xiong Tingbi's heart was depressed, he was already as hot as fire, jealous and hateful, at this time, when he saw the young man's appearance, he suddenly lost his patience, and said a little impatiently: "I don't know what the son is here to say?" Xiong was violated by the court at this time, although the emperor was gracious, Xiong was not imprisoned, but he didn't have time to spend here with you. ”
The young man smiled slightly, nodded to the person behind him, and then said slowly: "Is this the Lord Xiong I know!" That's how it should be! ”
The man standing behind the young man walked over quickly and handed Xiong Tingbi something like a quick token.
Taking it over, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly stood up, walked quickly in front of the young man, picked up his clothes and knelt down, and said loudly: "The minister doesn't know the face of Tianyan, he really deserves death, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Looking at Xiong Tingbi kneeling on the ground, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Get up!" The first time the two of them met, I seemed to be a villain! ”
Standing up slowly, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said: "The minister is in turmoil for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”
"Sit down! Tired from standing. Tomorrow morning I will summon you, and there are many things to know. Seeing what Xiong Tingbi was about to say, the Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand and said with a smile: "I believe in Aiqing's loyalty, and I also believe that Aiqing was wronged." I came to Aiqing to talk to Aiqing about Liaodong. ”
Looking at Xiong Tingbi, who was a little embarrassed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, and said: "Liaodong has been erosive for so many years, and since Salhu, Liaodong has been getting worse day by day. Although I have heard about the affairs of Liaodong, I now want to hear Aiqing's opinion. ”
Xiong Tingbi gradually stabilized at this time, he didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't mention his case, it seems that although His Majesty is young, he understands this very well in his heart. With joy in his heart, the sad look on his face was naturally gone, and after a deep groan, Xiong Tingbi frowned and said: "Liaodong has been erosive for a long time, and in the battle of Salhu, the minister is no longer saying anything." After all, there is no point in discussing the merits and demerits of some old things. ”
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse listened carefully to his words, Xiong Tingbi felt relieved in his heart, and continued: "Since Sarhu, the morale of our army has been low, although we have recovered some lost territory, but we always rely on the city pass to defend it, and this is not a long-term solution. ”
