Chapter 280: The Storm Is Coming (Part I)
In the evening, the dark clouds that had been building up for a day finally formed and sleet fell.
The whole courtyard was wet, and there were constant droplets of water under the eaves, making a ticking sound.
The servants lit the stove and lit all the candles and lanterns they could, showing the joy of the housewarming.
Because the original owner, Li Jinlou, was almost blasted out, there are still a lot of Li Jinlou's items left in the house.
Only then did Xu Zun realize that he had forgotten one thing, and he should call Li Jinlou himself or the housekeeper and ask them to help sort out the items.
However, I have just moved in, and I can pack up a simple place to stay today, and as for those details, it is not too late to deal with them slowly.
At this moment, Xu Zun is looking for memories in his father's study.
The study has hardly changed much, not even the position of the bookshelves has changed at all, except for the objects and the books on the shelves.
Xu Zun vaguely remembered that when he was a child, his father Xu Changlin was either busy with business and was not at home all day, or he stayed in this study to study something, and rarely accompanied him.
Chang Linqing is an extremely smart, but extremely unsophisticated person, who never bends the law for personal gain, but he is discerning.
It was precisely because of him that the emperor of that year took a fancy to him, so he overrode public opinion and made him the secretary of Dali Temple.
Sure enough, after Xu Changlin took office, he investigated several major cases in a row, and offended hundreds of civil and military officials.
Except for a very small number of decent ministers who still have dealings with Xu Changlin, everyone else avoids him.
Therefore, when Xu Changlin died suddenly, the Xu family naturally became a place where the stone fell, and soon the family road fell.
If it weren't for Shen Tiande taking him in under pressure, I'm afraid there would be no current Daxuanti criminal officer!
Shen Gong......
Thinking of this kind and kind old man, Xu Zun felt a deep longing in his heart, in a sense, his feelings for Shen Gong were deeper than his father's.
And when he thought of Shen Gong, he couldn't avoid two nouns, one was an iron coffin, and the other was Shen Qian.
To this day, he still doesn't understand why Shen Gong robbed the iron coffin? Did they grab Qiu Dingtian's body?
Also, Why did Shen Qian kill her biological father?
Isn't it, they originally belonged to the same organization, but Shen Gong wanted to betray him, so he was killed?
But if that's the case...... Didn't Shen Qian know about the bitter mother?
Shen Qian...... Where are you now?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to take out the song "Linjiang Immortal" again to take a look.
But at this moment, there was a loud sound in the corridor outside, as well as the laughter of Huo Anu and Ani.
What's wrong?
Xu Zun had no choice but to walk out of the study and go to the corridor to take a look.
At first glance, he couldn't help but laugh, and was amused by the scene in front of him!
But I saw Zhao Yu wearing a yellow gossip robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, holding a rattle in one hand and a peachwood sword in the other, dancing in the corridor!
He danced, words in his mouth, and the next second, he took a sip of the spirit, and then his mouth spurted.
All of a sudden, the liquor burned into a flame.
Zhao Yu flew out a piece of yellow paper, and with a peachwood sword, the yellow paper burned to ashes in an instant!
Wow......
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and even a maid applauded him. Only Fire Anu and Ani scoffed.
"Close!"
Zhao Yu shouted, and then he closed his momentum and stood firm.
"Good!" Xu Zun couldn't help but applaud him, but what was in his mind was the lines from a certain cartoon:
Demons and monsters are leaving, and demons and monsters are leaving......
"That's it!" Zhao Yu took off his gossip robe and said proudly, "Anyway, we are the joy of housewarming, how can we have peace of mind!"
"Lord Xu, don't worry! As far as I'm capable, I'm a god, oh no...... Ordinary goddesses can't come! ”
Xu Zun knew that the reason why Zhao Yu jumped the great god was because there was a bloody case here not long ago, and Liu Jin, the secretary of Dali Temple, was assassinated and died in this corridor.
Therefore, Zhao Yu jumped up to ward off evil spirits.
Xu Zun was a materialist in his previous life, so he naturally didn't care about this. As Zhao Yu himself said, it is just a psychological comfort.
"Lord Xu, the guards," at this time, Liu Dong said to everyone, "Dinner has been prepared, today is in a hurry, it is a little simple, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Because of the canonization, now not only Xu Zun and Ku Niang, but also Zhao Yu, Huo Anu and Ani have also been named Sanpin guards and enjoy the country's benefits.
Therefore, in addition to Xu Zun calling adults, Liu Dong also has to call them adults.
As for Ah Xiuzai, Hou Zhen and others, they themselves are treated as internal guards, and now they are all advanced to the next level, and their salaries are doubled, so naturally the treatment is not low.
In this battle, in addition to Li Xing, the eight guards who followed Xu Zun at the earliest were also injured and damaged.
Now, there are only five people left who are still following Xu Zun, namely: A Xiuzai, Hou Zhen, Li Xing, Jiang Hua, and one named Shangguan Min.
Cai Kun has promised Xu Zun that he will make up for the eight guards in a few days, and he will return Dai Long to Xu Zun.
Dai Long was bitten by a demon in Yonghui and is still in a state of healing.
Through a long period of contact, Xu Zun already knew more about these guards.
Among them, Ah Xiu Tsai has the best light skills and is suitable for being a scout;
Hou Zhen is upright and can deliver important tasks;
Li Xing has a flexible mind and strong flexibility;
Jiang Hua and Shangguan Min are both loyal guardian talents who can endure hardships, and they are the most suitable for guarding the door and keeping vigil, and they never slack off.
And after Xu Zun's observation, among the eight guards, the highest martial arts and the most courageous have to be Dai Long!
Every time there is a crisis, Dai Long will be the one who rushes to the front!
Therefore, Xu Zun also looked forward to Dai Long returning to the team as soon as possible and following him to the East China Sea......
During the dinner, the guards were loyal to their duties and hid in the courtyard outside the secret sentry, so only Zhao Yu and others ate around the table.
Since they didn't know that Xu Zun was about to go to the East China Sea to find the crown prince, everyone would be looking forward to a beautiful new life.
This discussion is whether to build a secret room vault, and the discussion is that these royal rewards should be deposited in the bank.
Ani also suggested that such a large yard should hire some more caretakers to prevent thieves.
Later, everyone began to discuss again, what should be done with the Zhenguo sword that the Queen Mother gave to Ku Niang?
Although this thing looks good, it is undoubtedly a thunderbolt, and it can't be used, it can't be sold, and I'm afraid of losing it.
In addition, what should be done with the private house that the Queen Mother gave to the bitter mother?
Wouldn't you like to take a look tomorrow?
If it's more suitable, can you move there......
At the same moment when everyone is looking forward to a better life in the future, there is also an incomparably magnificent mansion in Xinglongfang, less than 100 meters north of Xufu.
You must know that Xinglongfang is the closest to the palace, and the people who live in Xinglongfang are famous princes and ministers, dignitaries and nobles, all of which are built in extraordinary style.
But the house in front of me is higher than all the other houses, both in terms of construction area and building grade are the highest, proving that the people living in it have a more noble status.
Sure enough, I saw that there were three big characters written on the plaque at the main entrance of the mansion: "Gong-Lord-Mansion"!
In the entire Daxuan, there is only one princess who has her own mansion, and that is the daughter of the Empress Dowager Lin - Princess Ronghua!
At this moment, I saw Princess Ronghua, who was wearing a gorgeous green gold-inlaid brocade robe, who had just returned from outside the house.
When the people saw it, they hurriedly saluted the princess, but the princess ignored it, but walked into the inner hall angrily and sat heavily on the princess's chair!
Seeing that the princess's face was displeased, several people who had been waiting in the inner hall for a long time quickly got up and closed the door, and then came to the princess to wait for orders.
"What a stubbornness!" The princess said angrily, "After going through so much, the queen mother still wants her brother to return to court!"
"Even, he sent that Xu Zun to the East China Sea to find the prince! I really don't know where her heart and courage have gone!? ”
In front of the princess, there were three people kneeling on one knee, a man and a woman, and one could not tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The man was dressed in a brocade python robe, and seemed to be an official in the court;
Those who can't say whether they are men or women wear night clothes and have a bewitching pink plum blossom carved on their cheeks;
Look at the woman again, although she was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, she was dressed as a nun, and it was Shen Tiande's daughter-Shen Qian!!
