Chapter 19 Still stubborn like a donkey
"Hey, that's not interesting." Leng Buding scratched his head: "Okay, okay, it's the new Lord Hades, it's your apprentice Meng Yaoguang, she asked me to come." Yesterday, Lu Qingtian and your physical data were spot-checked, and it was said that it was found to be abnormal, so let me ask. ”
"This is the character of my apprentice," Xiao Ran lowered his eyes: "Don't worry about everything, you go back and tell her, don't worry about her."
"It's not just Yaoguang himself," Leng Buding was a little anxious, and his fingers couldn't stop tapping on the table: "The halls of the board of directors are also there. They say they miss you and want to know how you're doing. Yaoguang transferred your information to them, and when they looked at it, they saw the problem, what did you do yesterday? At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the body indicators were abnormal. Lu Qingtian's index is the same. You don't have anything written on your work records, so it's a big deal! ”
"Board?" Xiao Ran's eyes narrowed suddenly: "The various halls of Yama are not a big deal, how can they get together?" ”
"This ...... You left suddenly, Meng Yao Guangxin took your place, and the Yama of the various halls did not obey her, and even her orders were mostly disobeyed, so she convened Yama Luo and opened the company's board of directors. Leng Buding hurriedly explained.
"I expected this situation before I left." Xiao Ran raised the wine bottle on the table and wanted to pour wine for Leng Buding: "But with Yaoguang's heart and means, given time, he will definitely be able to stabilize this position, why do you have to hold a board of directors now?" ”
"I can't hide anything from you." Leng Buding hurriedly reached out and intercepted the wine bottle, filled it for Xiao Ran first, and poured himself a glass: "Recently, something happened below!" ”
Xiao Ran raised his eyes suddenly: "What's the matter?" Isn't it that the Lu clan has started to make trouble again? ”
"No, no," Leng Buding hurriedly waved his hand: "Since the last time you led people to encircle and suppress the headquarters of the Lu Clan, they have all disappeared now, and there is no trace of them. It's just that the souls we have received in the underworld recently, the three souls have been lost repeatedly, and there are many of them. You also know that people have three souls and seven souls, and when a person dies, all seven souls are scattered, but the three souls are all there. But if a person lacks three souls, the soul is basically wasted. Isn't it in a hurry, so the board of directors was convened, so that all places stepped up the investigation and figured out what the reason was. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Ran clenched his wine glass and muttered: "There are only a few gods in ancient times who feed on souls, and you can send a post to each family patriarch to ask first." Even if you do it later, you will be famous. ”
"It's just sent it, but the heads of the families took the post and said that this incident really has nothing to do with them! We didn't believe it, and we searched everywhere, but we didn't find any trace. Of course, this is not good, maybe they are hiding deeply. Leng Buding sighed
"Since the negotiation of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth and Man three thousand years ago, the ancient gods have been quiet for a long time. This incident is not necessarily related to them, we have to investigate it carefully, and we can't wronged others. If there is any misunderstanding in the middle, Yaoguang's position is probably going to be unstable. Xiao Ran clenched the wine glass, didn't drink it, only slowly went out of his mind.
"So, I'm not here to discuss with you, and by the way, I'm going to warn you to see if this will happen to the souls you have returned. If you have, be careful, don't do it! After Leng Buding finished speaking, he also watched silently for a long time.
"I naturally know this, I still have one more thing to tell you," Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject: "Yesterday, an angel was sent by the Heavenly Realm, saying that he wanted to work with us. ”
"his grandma's fart!" Leng Buding slapped the table: "Although our underworld is nominally controlled by their heavenly realm, we have been in our own way since ancient times, when do we really have to listen to their words!" They're dreaming! ”
"Don't get excited." Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and patted Leng Buding's back: "The heavenly realm is like this, they have their own calculations. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so don't be so nervous. ”
"So what do you think you should do? You can't really open the door of the house and beat gongs and drums to welcome them in, can you? Leng Buding said sullenly.
"No, they just said they were going to work together, they didn't say how to work together. Today I set up an enchantment in the basement of the Chinese Medicine Pavilion for our own office, and if they like to work together, they can work on the ground by themselves. Xiao Ran said coldly.
"That's a good idea!" Leng Buding praised from the bottom of his heart, but then he asked again as if he remembered something: "Your second apprentice Qingqing, oh no, it should be called Lu Qingtian now, and now I can't remember anything?" I went to see you in the morning, and I saw that her fiery temper had not changed, and she was still as stubborn as a donkey. ”
Xiao Ran was sipping wine, and when he heard this, he couldn't help choking: "You vomited a house in the morning, causing her to clean up for a long time, and it's good enough that she didn't throw you out." ”
"So didn't I run away with a half-truth, and when I walked like this, I also had face." He laughed coldly, and his face flushed a little: "I'm also going through the motions, and the board of directors is still waiting for me to report, what do you think I say?" ”
"Let's just say that I took Lu Qingtian with me, and I was tracking down the loss of the three souls, she is only in the probationary period now, and she is not qualified to become a regular, so in the process of tracking, she encountered some dangers." Xiao Ran raised his head and thought for a moment, and then continued: "If you can find out the whole story of this matter this time, let Yaoguang take this opportunity to mention the matter of her becoming a regular on the board of directors." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glass of wine was already raised: "Big brother, I knew you had a lot of ideas, I really didn't expect that you would be so clear about everything!" If you have the ability to turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain, plan yourself out of the old fox of the Emperor of Heaven as soon as possible, and don't let our brothers wait......"
Before Leng Buding's words fell, he heard a sound of ringing and ding dong behind him, but it was Su Xiaoxiao who changed into a plain white outfit again, with a plain waist, with a moon in his ears, and a set of gold-painted luodian lacquerware wine plates.
"You've been waiting for a long time." Su Xiaoxiao half-knelt and half-sat on the table, and gently placed the cups on the lacquerware in front of the two of them one by one: "This is the osmanthus wine I brewed with the water of this West Lake, and I invite the two of you to pour the glass." ”
"You put it down, you put it away, we'll do it ourselves!" Leng Buding hurriedly used his hand to pick up the cup she handed over, not wanting to stretch out his hand, Su Xiaoxiao's pair of jade hands were actually held by him.
The moment the palms met, they shivered coldly, and their cheeks, which were already slightly red, turned red, and suddenly they looked even redder than the big red lacquerware on the table.
"Yes, yes, yes...... I'm sorry," he hurriedly withdrew his hand: "I'll do it first for respect, and I will do it first for respect." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly raised the wine vessel in front of him and poured it down.
"Hey...... This wine is strong, you can't drink too much! With Su Xiaoxiao's exclamation, the wine jug in Leng Buding's hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, there is also a cold face like a peach blossom.
"This ......" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Leng Buding with his eyes closed dumbly, and sighed lightly.
"The grass is like a leaf, and the pine is like a cover." Xiao Ran suddenly opened his mouth: "I remember that you have lived on the shore of Xileng Lake for 1,500 years, right?" ”
"Hades-sama really has a good memory." Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and covered her face with her sleeves.
"Fifteen hundred years later, this guy still refuses to open this mouth, wronged you." There seemed to be sympathy in Xiao Ran's tone.
"I'm not wronged," Xiaoxiao raised his head, and there were tears in his eyes: "I know he has a pure heart, but I just don't say it." But there is no way to do this kind of thing unless he thinks about it himself. ”
She wiped the tears from her cheeks, and then burst into tears and smiled: "Don't talk about us, I heard that the Lord has resigned from the position of Hades and is going to join the Heavenly Realm?" Although Xiaoxiao is dull, he also knows all kinds of things, and there must be a reason. I just hope that the adults will go smoothly, and don't worry about a few words from this fool. ”
Xiao Ran smiled faintly: "Listening to what you say, it seems like I won't come back once I go." ”
"Don't say such things, my lords, and let our hearts be relieved." Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said with a sad expression: "Approximately, only a confused person like Third Brother Leng believes that adults can really come back." Hades is the lord of one realm, and no matter how good his heavenly realm is, Lord Hades probably won't put it in his eyes. Your resignation from your original position must be a great favor from the Emperor. If you go, I'm afraid that Xiaoxiao will no longer have blessings with you. ”
Xiao Ran held his wine glass, was speechless for a long time, and said for a long time: "After I leave, you have to take care of him more, he is anxious, and the Yama side of the palace has long been dissatisfied with him, if there is any trouble in the future, I am afraid that Yaoguang will not be able to protect him." ”
"Little remember!" Xiao Xiao slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Ran, but he didn't get up for a long time.
"What else do you have to say?" Xiao Ran seemed to see her desire to say goodbye, put down the wine glass, turned to face her, but did not reach out to help.
"As a little Meng Po, she is immortal, immortal. In the past thousands of years, I have never made friends with anyone, and the only one who can talk is Feng Xiaoqing, who is also Meng Po. Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "Over the years, I have had close contacts with her, and I know a little about her, but I didn't expect her to be so infatuated." Let things get to such a point. I met her once, and although I knew that the rules of the underworld were strict, Xiaoxiao still had a reluctant request, asking the Lord Hades to ease her cheeks and forgive her for the sin of ignorance. ”
After speaking, she bowed to the ground and knelt in front of Xiao Ran.
A trace of pain appeared on Xiao Ran's originally indifferent face: "Feng Xiaoqing not only violated the rules and precepts of the underworld, but also violated the forbidden laws jointly set by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. Her punishment should be judged by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, and it is useless for you to beg me. ”
