160 The Emperor's trust is more important than anything else
Xiao Bai is really not an ordinary fox, after his divine sense entered Xiao Bai's sea of consciousness with a trace of true qi, he saw a banshee who had not yet fully transformed.
The appearance is actually quite cute, but the situation at the scene is very, very terrifying, with wriggling insects constantly surging towards Xiaobai in all directions, eating away at her body and flesh.
Although Xiaobai is fleeing everywhere, there are terrible insects everywhere on the ground, and there is nowhere to escape, those insects that are a little more terrible than leeches keep crawling towards Xiaobai, looking at Zhou Bufan, he is also a little fried.
This nightmare is indeed terrifying, definitely more terrifying than facing thousands of man-eating beasts.
Although his scalp was numb when he saw it, he still mustered up the courage to turn into a streamer and rushed over, and at the same time, he also called more than ninety percent of the true qi of the body to strengthen his courage.
The body was like a glowing sun, and it rushed to Xiao Bai's side in an instant, and then recited the Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra, and the true qi and the assistance of the soul will shattered Xiao Bai's dream world in an instant.
The endless insects turned into wisps of black gas, and were quickly expelled from the sea of knowledge by the brilliance like the scorching sun, and the person also woke up directly from the dream.
Xiaobai, who regained consciousness, looked at Zhou Bufan with a blank eye, hoping that he could recognize who he was, but Zhou Bufan was numb from the scalp under the bug, even if he came out of the dream world, even if his body was not bitten by any bugs, he still felt uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xiaobai had woken up, he didn't dare to delay any longer, put down Xiaobai and hurriedly ran into the renovated shower room, and scrubbed his body fiercely.
Looking at Zhou Bufan's abnormal performance, Xia Bing was also in a good mood, and Master didn't seem to like this Xiaobai as much as he imagined, otherwise he wouldn't have left this little vixen and ran to take a bath.
"Xiaobai, did you pee on your body?" I couldn't help but ask curiously, and as soon as the words fell, I was kicked by Xiaobai, who jumped up, although it didn't hurt, but the vicious eyes made Xia Bing a little cowardly.
But after thinking about it, he was also a dignified demon exterminator, how could he be afraid of a little vixen who had not yet transformed, and suddenly glared back.
"If it wasn't for you soiling Master's clothes, it must have been in the dream world, Master was scared behind your back after seeing your Yuanshen image, so ......" Before he finished speaking, Xiaobai jumped directly off the table and rushed into the bathroom in an instant.
Xia Bing is waiting to see a good show, because whenever this kind of thing happens, Xiaobai will definitely be thrown out, but today's situation seems to be a little different.
"Xiaobai was also scared by those insects, so it's comfortable to wash......"
Xiaobai was thrown out, but he stayed inside and washed it together, and even the master personally washed Xiaobai, at least Xiaobai's paws couldn't put soap on his fur or anything.
……
The house was inexplicably blown up, but it gave those officials who wanted to make friends a reason to come to the door, and they even swiped a lot of gifts.
At the beginning, Zhou Bufan still tried his best to refuse the gifts he sent, but it was really troublesome for someone to come to the door, and the house needed to be repaired and the door could not be closed.
However, after receiving the gifts, they were all registered, and then directly handed over to the national treasury, in the name of supporting national construction.
It is indeed a bit offensive to do this, but it can gain more trust from Emperor Wu of Han, which is much more important than offending those officials.
In other words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seems to trust him very much, but the reward mansion even brought servants and maids to the courtyard directly, and there must have been a lot of spies installed to grasp his movements.
In any case, as an emperor, a capable person like himself will definitely be firmly in his hands, and if he loses control, he will definitely try to get rid of it, so as not to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, in order to live a more comfortable life in the capital, it is better not to make friends with all forces, and show that you firmly support His Majesty the Emperor wholeheartedly, so that the small life will be easier.
After the things were directly handed over to the state treasury, the result was just as guessed, and a batch of jade was sent, and if the value was almost the same as the gifts handed over to the state treasury.
……
The days were calm again, and many times calmer than before, and the Hou Mansion, which had been full of guests, became quite deserted after the incident of the gift being handed over to the treasury.
There are really few people who want to deal with such a flexible person, and that Dongfang Shuo will occasionally come over to visit the door to discuss some problems, of course, by the way, and even a little doubt that this bastard has taken a fancy to Xia Bing, otherwise how could he come to visit the door if there is nothing to do.
It's just that Xia Bing really can't look down on Dongfang Shuo, who is flamboyant, and in her eyes, only mortal immortals like Master are worth considering.
Although Zhou Bufan has explained several times that he is not an immortal who descends to the earth, it is just an illusion in a dream, but Xia Bing always firmly believes that Zhou Bufan is an immortal who descends to the mortal, but the master himself does not know.
"Master, why did you deliberately offend those who gave gifts?" Xia Bing, who came back from going out to play, finally asked the doubts in his heart, because he met a few acquaintances today, but as soon as he saw him, he avoided them from afar, for fear of avoiding them.
"Well, of course, it's much safer to offend them than to make the emperor suspicious."
"Could it be that the emperor doesn't trust Master?"
"Do you think someone like me can be trusted?"
"Of course, Master is a rare upright gentleman in the world."
"Well, in your eyes, I can be a decent gentleman, and in the eyes of the emperor, I can never be a loyal and good general."
"Why?"
"Because I have found various reasons to retire from my position, I am obviously capable but I don't want to really become an official, if these can be said to be reasonable in troubled times, but now it is obviously a peaceful and prosperous era, which is very abnormal."
"Since the emperor doesn't trust it, why does the master still come to stay in the capital?"
"Where else can you go if you don't stay in the capital?"
"Isn't a worldly master like Master supposed to live in seclusion in the deep mountains, old forests, and forests?"
"As the saying goes, the small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court, how comfortable it is to live in this capital, and live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, how can you eat and drink well and live well like now?"
"And this adage, how come I've never heard it?"
"Well, I've already said that."
“…… Master is really different from the legendary Qi cultivator, my grandfather said that a real Qi cultivator should stay away from the red world and concentrate on hard cultivation and hone his mind, so that he can transcend the world and ascend to immortality. ”
"If you don't enter the red dust, how can you see through the red dust, if you don't taste the sufferings of the world, how can you hone your mind and be extraordinary."
"Forget it, grandpa is no more than a master anyway, so whatever you say is what you say."
