Chapter 188: Calm Waves

After a month of quarreling with Xueya!

During this time, Xue Ya didn't tease or make things difficult for Hua Long, nor did she speak, or even pay attention to Hua Long, every morning after she got up, she went to socialize with Countess Qiu Siya, and she didn't come back until very late, even if she sometimes came back early to meet Hua Long, she always looked cold.

What surprised Hua Long the most was that she didn't tell her grandfather about it? Xue Ya's behavior was indeed unexpected by Hua Long.

And Hualong itself doesn't seem to have changed, he gets up early every day to plant flowers, and then goes to the Northern Governor's Mansion to deal with some secret, not secret, important, and unimportant trivial things.

In order to forget these unpleasantness, Hualong devoted almost all of his time to work, and of course, Hualong's diligent performance has also become a thing that people talk about after dinner.

"He's a good nobleman!" said commoners, merchants, and low-ranking nobles.

"He's a weirdly lazy aristocrat!", "Who knows what he's doing?", "He's the prime minister's son-in-law!", "Those were all arranged by the prime minister, and they have nothing to do with him." "But there is always such a topic among the great nobles.

......

At noon, the North Governor's Palace.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Hualong lifted the window screen and set his eyes on this vibrant city.

The cloudless sky is as dazzling as if infinitely far-reaching, and the street trees that stand on the roadside are lush and green, adding new greenery to the monotonous city, and under the shade of the trees on the streetside, the hawkers break the silence of the afternoon with their own shouts.

It's noisy, but it's full of spring.

"Your body, my lord?" asked Tarex.

When Hua Long saw the long white face of the staff, the boredom in his heart was suddenly swept away, indeed, Tarex is a person who can lower the temperature, and even make people feel cold in such a warm spring.

"Nothing special, the same as before. Sitting down, Hua Long looked at his palm.

Regarding the events of that day, Hua Long already had a general understanding, after falling into a coma at Duke Wenke's house, he was indeed taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Tianxue, and it was obviously easy to use her cultivation not to alarm others.

As for why he fainted, Hua Long still had no answer in his heart, and even Tianxue couldn't give him an answer.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Huh?"

"This is the situation of the newly emerging underworld activities in the imperial capital recently. Tarex put a record in the hands of Hua Long, and he wanted to see what Hua Long would do with this incident.

And Hua Long took a general look, the situation is very clear, in recent times, some gangsters in the area of the southern governor of the outer city often enter their own territory to steal and rob, although they have also arrested a lot of people, but most of the gangsters still fled back to the territory of the southern governor after succeeding.

Of course, this is also because his father, the Count of Auno, was replaced by the Prime Minister Honte not long ago, and the current Count of Auno is only responsible for the affairs of the Judicial Bureau.

Umbrellas? It's tricky!

Hua Long was also quite helpless about this, but after thinking about it carefully, he actually had an idea, "The arms purchase meeting is coming, I heard that there is a batch of valuable jewelry and antiques to be sent to the palace, right?"

"Although the military department did not specify the specific route and time, I analyzed that the team delivering the jewelry should pass through the area under the jurisdiction of the Southern Governor, and the time should be in these few days. As he spoke, he handed another document to Hua Long, "I have made a plan, adults may wish to read it first." ”

Hua Long felt this way, but after reading Tarex's plan, he couldn't help but be impressed by this cold man.

Although he and himself thought quickly, Tarex was clearly more clever when it came to handling the details and dealing with the aftermath.

"It's a good plan, so let's do it. Hualong affirmed this plan.

Don't look at Thunder Pattern, who has been dealing with trivial "official business" for a while now, in fact, he is also secretly recruiting talents, but now he has not contacted these people who appear on his list, because the time is not right, and too early contact will definitely cause unnecessary turmoil.

From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Hualong is still very careful.

After more than three hours of busy official business, Hua Long forgot the time to eat lunch, and when he went to the internal restaurant of the Northern Governor's Mansion, it was already past meal time, and the thousands of seats seemed empty, only a few cleaning staff were busy.

"Haven't eaten yet, have you?" Xingxue walked over from the side, and she was holding a steaming meal in her hand, "I knew you would." ”

She smiled softly.

Hua Long suddenly wondered, Xingxue had changed her sex, when did she become so understanding?

"Then ......" Seeing someone coming over, Xing Xue immediately saluted Hua Long with a clear look, "I'm going to patrol now!" she said very loudly, but then she put it in Hua Long's ear and said playfully: "Husband!"

Seeing Hua Long's face flush, she suddenly kissed Hua Long when someone walked by, "You are so cute!"

“......”

......

In the evening, it was getting dark.

After a busy day, Hua Long returned to the bedroom of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went as usual, Xue Ya had not come back yet, and it seemed that she had gone to the social dance again.

There was no one in such a large room, which made Hua Long feel empty in his heart.

Anyway, this is my home, too.

Hua Long took off the official uniform of the Northern Governor, and then sat down in his old position in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, which was the second floor of the villa with a relatively wide view.

"Young Master, do you want anything else?" Sasna brought Hua Long a cup of sweet grass-flavored milk tea and sugar.

"No need. Hua Long picked it up and stirred it lightly with a silver spoon, "Where's Grandpa?"

"The old man has gone out of the city, and it seems that he has not yet returned. Sasna stood cautiously aside, and seeing that Hua Long didn't ask any more, she whispered, "Young Master?"

"Huh?"

When Hua Long picked up the candy jar, Sasna asked, "Young Master, why don't you ask where Miss has gone?"

“......”

In an instant, Hua Long's hand stopped in the air, but he pretended to be casual and completed a series of actions, "Where did she go?" Regarding the quarrel that day, Hua Long still had a lot of nostalgia in his heart, after all, after getting married, his wife always "tried" to improve the relationship between the two, in comparison, he didn't do anything, and he also said those hurtful words.

In that case, I guess I ended up being jealous.

"Miss Lansi has a birthday today, so Miss is going to her birthday party. Sasna was in such a hurry that a discerning person could tell at a glance that she was being entrusted by someone.

Hua Long took a sip of milk tea and let out an "oh".

Sasna seems to have something to say, but the premise is that Hua Long needs to ask, but ......

"Are you okay?" Hua Long put down his glass.

Oops! What would I have said if Miss Cherya came back and asked?'s expression was like a frosted cabbage, all because she had failed to complete the task that Cherya's had given her.

"Hehe, it's okay. Sasna picked up her plate and prepared to leave, but just as she was about to leave the bedroom, Hua Long stopped her.

"It's going to rain tomorrow at noon, and it's going to be going to be for a long time, so if she's going out, remember to remind her to bring rain gear and thicker clothes. ”

was stunned for a moment, and then Sasna said happily: "Okay young master!"

......

Outside the city, deserted houses.

It is a simple thatched hut located under the city walls, dilapidated, filthy, and full of the smell of corruption. Due to the long-term desertion and the wind and rain, the originally unstable roof broke a large hole, but it also made the dark interior shine into the moonlight.

There were two people in the room.

The man standing by the door was the Grim Reaper, who carefully watched the movements around him, and the man who was half leaning against the wall was the Thunder, who at the moment wore a long black trench coat and a wide flat hat of the same color, which completely obscured his appearance, and the evil aura he exuded glistened in the moonlight like the thick silver charm that was wrapped around his clothes.

With him, Death Nameless has a feeling of a nervous breakdown, and it seems that he may be killed at any time.

Why haven't you come yet!

Today is the day to connect with the Prime Minister, because there are many people in the imperial capital, so they chose to be in an inconspicuous deserted house outside the city, but this time is ......

"Haven't you come yet?" the Thunder Emperor stood up, a boredom in his tone. And almost at the same time, his dark green eyes locked on Bill's body, "Those people I killed yesterday are too weak to be meaningful, hehe......"

The atmosphere in the room changed dramatically!

Is he going to make a move on me? Can I run? I'm going to be killed, right? Death's nameless mind went blank, and he didn't even have the ability to resist without a trace.

The Thunder smiled and approached Bill, "Say, let's have fun, okay?"

Fortunately, while speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Wearing a gray cloak, Prime Minister Rongte walked in calmly, and two people entered with him, who looked like bodyguards.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the Terrible!" said Prime Minister Rongte's voice in a calm and majestic voice, and his presence restored the atmosphere in the room to what it had been before.

Under the sharp gaze of the other party, the Thunder Emperor gave up his original plan and then stepped aside.

"It's disrespectful. He gave the prime minister a standard aristocratic courtesy, and then sneered, "I'm surprised that you're not dead." ”

"What?!"

The two bodyguards on the side immediately rushed towards the Thunder Emperor, and they absolutely could not forgive such an insult to the prime minister. In other words, it's their loyalty.

It's just that, in Nameless's opinion, the combination of these two seventh- and eighth-ranked doormen of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed amazing, and it is difficult for them to parry it even themselves, but it is a pity that they don't know the horror of the Thunder Emperor, and if they do, I'm afraid they won't come tonight.

Victory and defeat are known in an instant!

The Thunder Dodge the two of them with ease, and then stabbed their skulls with his index finger.

Bright red blood mixed with disgusting * splattered all over the ground!

The prime minister smiled, not angry.

"Your men are stupider than ever. He splashed a lot of blood on his cold face, wiped it with his fingers, and he sent the blood into his mouth.

Then there was a moment of eye contact!

It's just that the Thunder Emperor was defeated in such a confrontation, and he said in disgust: "Do you want me to kill Huayun?"

"Not bad!"

"When?"

"Tomorrow night. The Prime Minister turned to leave, "After attending the dinner at the Venk family, he will ride in a carriage over the Alice Bridge. ”

"And what about my pay?"

"Is the pleasure of killing a master a reward?"

"You old fox is too picky, aren't you?"

"I've put half a million gold coins into your account with the Imperial Bank. Speaking of this, the prime minister suddenly turned around and looked very serious, "Remember the Thunder Emperor, I don't want him to see the sun the day after tomorrow!"

"Then do what you want, old fellow!"

......
