Chapter 45: Something Happened
Phantom Tong was pacing the doorway, and the door opened.
A domestic servant led the horse in front, and Situ Hao followed behind to arrange his clothes.
"Dad, you're going out."
I don't know when this "dad" has become rusty. The hallucination felt less pleasant, and Situ Hao was also stunned when he heard it.
"Phantom Tong, why are you standing at the door of the house, I was about to go out to look for you."
"Looking for me?" Phantom Tong was a little surprised, thinking that his intentional estrangement had stiffened the relationship between the two parties, but he didn't expect that it would only be him.
"Yes, looking at the fireworks, you disappeared in a blink of an eye, we have been waiting at home for so long, and we haven't seen you come back, your mother is in a hurry."
Situ Hao's expression was very natural, and he felt that it was normal for a father to go to his son, and there was nothing unusual.
Huantong picked up the wine in his hand and shook it in front of Situ Hao's eyes.
"I'm going to get a few bottles of good wine to honor you."
Rest assured of the worries in his heart and feel the warmth of this home, Huantong found that everything had not changed, and he was still as harmonious as when he was in the Tongjiang military camp.
Seeing the wine, Situ Hao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to grab the wine, open the lid, and smell it at the mouth of the bottle.
"Not bad, it's good wine, come in, let's have a drink."
As he spoke, he beckoned Phantom Tong into the door, and the father and son talked and laughed along the way.
When they came to the hall, Ah Jiang and Yilian squatted beside Mrs. Situ on the left and right, the three of them were chatting about something, and the old lady was smiling and happy.
Seeing Huantong, Mrs. Situ deliberately straightened her face and said angrily: "Busy and busy, why don't you know how to go home and take a look, let Wei Niang think about it." ”
Huantong took two steps tightly, squatted down in front of Mrs. Situ, put his chin on Mrs. Situ's knee, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't be angry, I will definitely come back to see you more in the future." ”
When Mrs. Situ saw Huantong, she couldn't get angry, holding Huantong's face, looking left and right.
"Look at this little face, they are all thin, and our Ah Tong has suffered."
"Old woman, let Ah Tong go, he is not at home, he must be scared by you."
Situ Hao had already warmed the wine, set the glass, and sat at the table waiting.
"Blame me for everything, it's your best."
Mrs. Situ glanced at Situ Hao, and continued to look at Huantong worriedly, checking if he was injured.
"Mother, Kyoto City is safe, you don't have to worry."
Huantong gave Mrs. Situ a comforting look, and she reluctantly withdrew her hand and let Huantong go to drink with Situ Hao.
"Ah Jiang, the good wine your eldest brother brought back, you can also come and taste it."
Huantong sat down, and Situ Hao beckoned Ah Jiang to come over and drink.
When Ah Jiang heard that there was good wine, he didn't hesitate at all, and ran over with a rush of wine.
But Mrs. Situ was not very happy to go, "snatched my son, and snatched my godson." ”
Seeing that his wife was angry, Situ Hao didn't dare to be idle, and hurriedly stepped forward to coax: "Isn't this the New Year, I'll just take my sons for a drink." ”
said that it was not good, and cooperated with the wife to beat her legs and pinch her shoulders, and coaxed for a while before it was good.
Yilian stood aside and watched, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
The three of them rode the evening breeze and drank hot wine, and Mrs. Situ also instructed the kitchen to make a few side dishes, and the father and son drank until midnight.
After a few bottles of Baihua stuffed, the three of them were already drunk, and the youngest Ah Jiang was the worst, who was already drunk on the table and fell asleep.
Situ Hao also drank high, holding a wine glass, shaking his head, speaking slurred, and his words were slurred.
Although there are many phantoms, he is still the most sober one, and he pulls Situ Hao to prevent him from drinking anymore.
While I was drunk, I finally had a chance to say the words that had been accumulated in my heart.
Situ Hao took Huantong's hand, his blurry eyes tried to focus on Huantong's face, and every word he said would exude a strong smell of wine.
"Huantong, I know that you are Teng Zijin, and I also know that you want to come back for revenge, and you don't want to implicate us. But Phantom Tong, since the day I decided to adopt you, I have treated you as my own child, and I am willing to support you unconditionally whatever you do, understand. ”
Huantong only felt warm in his heart, and wanted to say thank you, but found that Situ Hao had fallen asleep.
took two fox velvet coats, draped them on Situ Hao and Ah Jiang respectively, and then covered the windows of the room.
After finishing all this, Phantom Tong yawned and felt sleepy, so he lay on the table and fell asleep.
In the early morning, Huantong was woken up by a noise, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and stood up again and stretched.
Seeing that Situ Hao and Ah Jiang were still sleeping soundly, he didn't wake them up, and tiptoed out of the house to check the situation.
The eastern part of the city had always been quiet, and the yard was so deep that even if there was any noise in the street, it should not reach the house. Phantom Tong felt that it was abnormal, so he decided to find out first.
As the outer courtyard got closer and closer, the voice became more obvious, it sounded like someone was making noise, and the voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, like Meng Qi.
Realizing that something was wrong, Huantong took two steps quickly, and sure enough, it was Meng Qi arguing with the guards in the mansion.
It's nothing more than that Meng Qi has something important to look for Huantong, but the guards of Situ Mansion don't know Meng Qi and don't want to let him in, and they want to find someone but they are sleeping, and the two sides quarrel because they can't get along.
"Xiao Qi, how did you find here, what's wrong?" Seeing Meng Qi so anxious, Huantong had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Meng Qi didn't rush to answer, but said to those guards with some ostentation: "Look, does your young master know me and stop me." ”
"Meng Qi, get down to business." Huantong saw that Meng Qi was not serious day by day, he couldn't distinguish between priorities and urgency, and he was a little angry, and he murdered him for the first time.
Meng Qi was really shocked, he was honest all of a sudden, and the villain's expression of triumphant ambition was put away at once, and he didn't dare to look at Huantong with his head down, and his voice became weak.
"The informant in the palace has news that a little palace maid has been lost in the queen's palace, and someone saw that she left in the carriage of Situ Mansion, so the queen should be held accountable immediately."
Phantom Tong patted his head and yelled that it was not good. Yesterday, I took people out of the palace, and I lost my temper and forgot about these two people, and it turned out that something really happened.
Seeing Huantong's reaction, Meng Qi asked tentatively: "This can't be true, boss, you really took people out of the palace." ”
"Yes, An Zhiruo, I brought her out yesterday." Phantom Tong bit every word very hard, and he was full of regret in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to lure the queen to show his feet, but before the goal was achieved, he got into trouble first.
"Meng Junsheng sent you? Did you help me think of a countermeasure? ”
After getting drunk, Phantom Tong was still a little dizzy, and the sudden crisis was a little crazy for a while.
Meng Qi shrugged his shoulders, and then shook his head slightly: "Sister Meng thought this was nonsense, so she only asked me to come over and inform the boss." Who would have thought that such a foolish thing could be done by the boss. ”
When Huantong heard this, he had the idea of going up to beat Meng Qi, but because there were more important things, he just glared at him.
Huantong was still anxiously circling around the courtyard, and the little eunuch in the palace arrived.
