Maybe it's because I haven't slept for days...

Xu Boqing woke up from sleep, suddenly felt refreshed, and just stretched his waist, he heard the voice of Manager Huang faintly: "You kid is sleeping comfortably..."

He looked around blankly, and then he was stunned to find that the place where he was seemed to be the bedroom of Manager Huang.

Mr. Huang was sitting at his desk sipping tea, flipping through two books that looked very old and were pressed and bound by some kind of leather.

On the cover of the scroll, the four big characters of "Star Sucking Demon Skill" are written crookedly in ancient characters, which looks like a very strange exercise...

After Xu Boqing got out of bed, he bowed with a shy face and saluted: "The villain inadvertently fell into the poison of the thief, failed to protect the queen mother, and asked Mr. Huang to punish him." ”

"The thief has been killed by me, and the Queen Mother is fine."

Manager Huang put down the book in his hand, looked him up and down, and said, "It's you, who slept in my coma for three days and three nights, and I slept in the study for three days." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Boqing was shocked, and after reacting, he muttered in disbelief: "I fell asleep for three days and three nights? ”

"What do you think?"

Mr. Huang snorted coldly when he saw his appearance, and said angrily: "But it's also your luck, the Queen Mother saw that you were loyal and brave, and fed you the 'Samwang Dan' to dispel poison and nourish your body after you were poisoned, otherwise it is a question whether you can wake up after falling asleep in the past three days." ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager Longen."

Xu Boqing pretended to show that he was palpitating, and then shifted his gaze to the desk in front of Mr. Huang...

There are not only two volumes of "Star Absorbing Demon Gong", but also a book with the secret book of "I Ching Forging Bone Gong", a booklet of "Transfiguration", and some hidden weapons, poisons and other miscellaneous items.

His eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Manager Huang, what are these?" ”

"The thief was found on him."

Manager Huang seemed to have thought of something, and explained with some nostalgia: "That thief is a famous thousand-faced thief saint in the rivers and lakes, named Cui Feng, who is proficient in light skills, disguise, and concealment.

Eighteen years ago, he came to the Imperial City, when he was only in the Acquired Realm, and not long after I broke through the Innate Realm, I happened to be good at light skills, so I captured him and put him in the Heavenly Prison.

Later, the first emperor was seriously ill, and I forgot about this guy, and then somehow let him escape.

I never thought that after more than ten years, this guy had also broken through to the innate realm, and he was so bold to find Cining Palace to seek revenge..."

His voice paused, and he sneered inexplicably, and then said: "He thought that I was old, and the qi and blood in my body would inevitably decay, but I didn't know that I had been immersed in the innate realm for twenty years, and even my old age and decay were not comparable to his appearance. ”

"Mr. Huang is mighty, and the villain admires it."

Xu Boqing's eyes were hot, and he slapped his ass quietly, and sighed: "When the villain escorted the Queen Mother a few days ago, I was still thinking, if I also have martial arts, will I be able to share the worries of the manager?"

It's a pity that the villain's talent is dull, and he was playful when he was young, so he has missed the best time to practice martial arts. ”

At the end, he sighed and added: "However, the flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young." ”

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Manager Huang didn't know what to think, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked casually, "Do you know what are the best times to plant a tree?" ”

Xu Boqing frowned and thought about it, but he still didn't understand the deep meaning, so he said frankly: "The villain doesn't know. ”

"Then I'll tell you."

Manager Huang put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now." ”

"Ten years ago... Now..."

Xu Boqing's breath stagnated, and he faintly realized something in his heart, bowed down and bowed, and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the chief manager." ”

"You're not bad at understanding."

Mr. Huang stood up, accepted his salute calmly, and admonished: "If you have ambition, you are afraid of no ambition, and there is no shortage of people in the rivers and lakes who have started to practice martial arts until they are middle-aged, and there are not a few who have achieved success." ”

He tapped his fingers on the "Star Sucking Demon Skill" on the desk, and said: "The master who created this magic skill is an example, he was a scholar in the previous dynasty, and he has been famous for more than ten years, but he has repeatedly failed and been humiliated.

At the age of forty, his family was in trouble, and he hid in a cupboard and witnessed the murder of his entire family by roving bandits.

Later, he gave up his pen and devoted himself to studying martial arts, as if he was enchanted, and after creating this "Star Sucking Demon Skill", he set off a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes with his own strength.

Don't talk about this person's character, don't talk about what he did, and don't talk about his final fate, just talk about his great perseverance, why worry about not succeeding in big things? ”

"Thank you, Steward, for your advice."

Xu Boqing hesitated, but didn't have time to speak.

Manager Huang took the lead and said: "I know you want me to teach you martial arts, but you have to pass the Queen Mother's level first." ”

"After the Queen Mother's pass?"

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, although he was ecstatic in his heart, he still showed incomprehension on the surface.

"Not bad..."

Manager Huang looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you think I asked you to do in Cining Palace?" Did you really think you were here to sweep the garden? Kindness? ”

He paused, raised his eyebrows and continued: "You kid is lucky, your performance in the dormitory a few days ago was not bad, and the Queen Mother looked at you differently."

In the three days you have been asleep, the supplements sent by the Queen Mother have never been broken, and they have even sent me a message to bring them when you wake up.

I told you before...

If you behave well, don't say that you can save your second uncle, even if you yourself will get a great fortune.

Now here's your chance.

If the queen mother who can serve is happy, not only can you get a large reward, but I can also teach you martial arts;

But I also explained first, if you annoy the Queen Mother, your little life will be gone. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on your own ability. ”

"Ah, this ......"

Xu Boqing showed a complicated smile of 'disbelief' and 'stunned by happiness', and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'Hard-working people, the sky does not pay'.

"Okay, okay, if it weren't for your remarkable performance a few days ago, I wouldn't have told you so much."

Seeing him smirking there, Manager Huang said angrily: "Pay attention to yourself and follow me to see the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes."

Xu Boqing smiled slightly, and followed Mr. Huang out of the door.

Life's shortcuts don't come to me.

I leaned on the shortcut in life~~

Wonderful......

After a short time, under the leadership of Mr. Huang, Xu Boqing interspersed through the garden, walked across the Yongdao Jade Bridge, and stopped in front of the Linxi Pavilion.

Linxi Pavilion is built on a single-hole masonry coupon bridge in a rectangular pool, facing the water on the east and west, and the steps from north to south, on the north-south axis of the courtyard.

The pavilion plane is square, the face is wide and deep, the door is opened in the middle on all sides, and the wooden guardrail is added in front of the door on both sides of the water.

The east and west sides of the pavilion are surrounded by white jade pillar railings, the pond water is crystal clear, there are several groups of water lilies hanging in the pond, the fish in the pond swim freely, the pavilion is surrounded by tree shadows and blue waves, it is the place where the queen mother rests in the garden, enjoys the flowers and fish...

The Queen Mother's personal grandmother saw that Mr. Huang brought people here, and after making a salute, she bowed into the pavilion to report.

Not a lot of effort.

The old lady came out again and invited Mr. Huang into the pavilion.

Xu Boqing dusted off the folds on his clothes, followed Mr. Huang into the Linxi Pavilion.

After entering, I saw Empress Dowager Chen wearing regular clothes by the white jade railing, and she was still holding some fish food in her hand to feed the fish...

The shade of the trees is swaying, and the beauty is picturesque.
