Chapter 37: Luo Yimo is no one
"Lord Shangshu, Master Hou is not in the mansion now, you better go back first!" Jiuyu stood at the door and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I'm his father, what's wrong with me wanting to enter his house, I still have to wait outside the door?"
Xia Tingyou was a little aggrieved, he couldn't enter his son's mansion, and he had to wait at the door, what kind of reason is this?
Although, he knew that Xia Liangyu was not his own son, but no matter what, nominally, Xia Liangyu was still his eldest son, and a Lao Tzu was blocked outside the mansion by his son's watchdog, which really made his old face unbearable, which made him look up in front of his colleagues!
"Lord Shangshu, Master Hou is not in the mansion, no one can enter, Princess Yunzhu just left half an hour ago!"
Jiuyu's handsome face was expressionless, he stated the facts unhurriedly, and the words he said pierced Xia Tingyou's heart like a sharp blade.
"You ......, you're just a guard, so arrogant!"
Xia Tingyou was smoked by the young Seven Senses of the Nine Domains Qi, pointing at him with his nose and eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
The Nine Domains is a secret guard with a low status, but he is the secret guard of the Marquis of Dingguo, which is extraordinary!
Jiuyu's eyes narrowed, and he was too lazy to deal with the angry Xia Tingyou, and his nostrils snorted twice, Princess Yunzhu is the first princess, and she has not been able to enter the mansion, you are a fake and shoddy Lao Tzu who still wants to break into the Dingguo Mansion! It's a dream! In the past, I left you half a thin face, because Hou Ye was still a little reluctant to that family in his heart, and he didn't want to tear his face directly, but now, you see that Hou Ye is about to get out of your control, and you are afraid, so you connived at your son and wife to assassinate Hou Ye, and wanted to teach him a lesson, so shameless, you still want to come over as an elder and go to your grandmother!
Jiu Yu looked expressionless, and in fact, he couldn't wait to kick Xia Tingyou, the unworthy military department book!
If it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor and relying on the Hou Ye to guard the frontier for him, which round would you be able to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department? If you get a benefit, you don't know how to sell a good job, and you can keep to yourself a little bit, it's really stupid and stupid!
Xia Ting looked down on him from the right side of the Nine Domains, his face was blue with anger, but he was angry, but he really didn't dare to move a finger of him.
There are regulations in the Hou Mansion that the Hou Ye is not in the mansion, and the Dingguo Hou Mansion will be sealed, and no outsider shall enter the mansion without authorization, otherwise he will be killed.
Xia Tingyou is the secretary of the military department, how can he not know the well-known iron rules of the Hou Mansion, he just relied on the fact that he is Xia Liangyu's nominal father, and wanted to come over to experience the privilege, but he never expected that he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot!
Xia Tingyou took a few deep breaths, trying to maintain his demeanor.
"Then do you know when Xia Liangyu will come back?"
"Lord Shangshu, you call Hou Ye by name, this is disrespectful, although you are Hou Ye's father, but Hou Ye is much more noble than you, you also have to salute when you see Hou Ye!"
Jiuyu reminded Xia Tingyou expressionlessly, and even made Xia Tingyou angry again, looking like he couldn't wait to eat him.
Jiuyu continued to say without humility or arrogance, "Lord Shangshu, this is the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, the god in the hearts of the people, don't forget!" I don't think you want to make a big deal out of it! β
One sentence made the angry Xia Tingyou's hands and feet chill in an instant, his heart sank, he almost forgot that Xia Liangyu was no longer his youngest son who was locked up in the abandoned courtyard and no one cared about, but the god of war admired by the thousands of people in the Zhongzhu Kingdom, and the marquis of Dingguo who was personally appointed by the emperor, where could he be allowed to act recklessly.
Xia Tingyou stood aside aggrievedly and waited, no longer speaking.
Jiu Yu glanced at him, and didn't bother to perfunctory, he went straight into the mansion and closed the door in front of Xia Tingyou, which was quite a deliberate provocation.
Xia Ting's right qi vomited blood, and the whole person was a little swaying, and at first glance it was a symptom of a rush to attack the heart.
When Xia Liangyu entered the mansion, he saw Xia Tingyou standing at the door, he didn't stop, and flew directly into the mansion.
"Master!" When Jiuyu saw Xia Liangyu entering the mansion, he greeted him.
Xia Liangyu nodded, then went into the room to change clothes and walked out.
"Let Xia Ting wait in the right living room, I'll come over later!"
"Yes!"
Nine Domains turned and walked to the door.
"Lord Shangshu, Master Hou has returned to the house, please follow me to the living room."
Xia Ting waved his right sleeve and vented the anger in his heart, and then followed the Nine Domains and entered the gate of the Hou Mansion.
This was the first time he had stepped into the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and he looked around without a trace.
Jiuyu rolled his eyes disdainfully, hum, you think you can see the name of the hall by looking at it twice, it's really naΓ―ve!
"Lord Shangshu, please follow me, there are all over the house, and if you take a wrong step, you are likely to be recruited, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Xia Ting's right heart froze, his eyes immediately retracted, and he followed closely behind the Nine Domains, not daring to do much more.
"Lord Shangshu, please be seated! There are no maids in the house, so there is only this boiled water to entertain, please don't mind!"
Jiuyu said as he poured a glass of water for Xia Tingyou.
"No maids? How does this work? I'll ask my wife to dial some people over, what if there is no one to take care of such a big yard?" When Xia Tingyou heard this, he immediately became energetic and immediately said.
"Lord Shangshu, do you want to install your own people in our Hou Mansion?"
Xia Tingyou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately waved his hand, a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Hehe, how dare I install my own people in the Hou Mansion! It was just a slip of the tongue! I'm sorry I didn't say anything!"
To install your own people in the Hou Mansion is a capital crime!
Xia Liangyu is proficient in the art of war, he is not only strong himself, but the four generals Zi Mo, Hongying, Bai Yu, and Heiqu are also the strongest of the strong, and the four of them each defend one side, and the surrounding countries no longer dare to provoke Zhongzhu State.
Xia Liangyu is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Zhongzhu State to suppress other countries, there are too many people who want him to die, in order not to let others take advantage of it, the emperor has issued a holy decree, anyone who tries to get close to Hou Ye to get information or is unfavorable to him, no need to report, correct the law on the spot, and do not need to be responsible if it is wrong.
This is also the reason why there is only one housekeeper and a few servants in the huge Hou Mansion so far.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Xia Tingyou stood up involuntarily.
"Master Hou!"
Xia Liangyu nodded and walked straight to the main seat.
"Lord Shangshu, sit down!"
Xia Tingyou looked at this "son" he hadn't seen for several years, and he was a little stunned in his heart.
Xia Liangyu is no longer the child who has been living in the backyard in his impression, nor is he the teenager who stepped into the ring in order to prove himself, the person in front of him is a killing god who has experienced countless bloody battles and has countless blood on his hands, every move, every word and deed has a powerful murderous aura, and that sense of oppression makes it a little difficult for Xia Ting to breathe right.
Xia Tingyou's eyes flickered a few times, trying to put on the appearance of a kind father.
"Yu'er, you've worked hard for the past few years!"
If Xia Liangyu hadn't known that he was not in person, maybe he would have warmed his heart because of his father's concern, but now, Xia Tingyou's contrived appearance really made him sick to his stomach.
Xia Liangyu glanced at Xia Tingyou, and spit out two words with an expressionless face: "It's good!" β
The atmosphere in the living room is a little stagnant!
Xia Liangyu's indifference made Xia Tingyou a little annoyed in his heart, but now he has already lost the little bit of control he has in the face of Xia Liangyu.
"Hehe, Yu'er, you're fifteen this year!"
Xia Liangyu looked at Xia Tingyou, raised his cup and took a sip of water.
"Well, fifteen, in another month it will be sixteen, what?" Xia Liangyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a burst of cold light swept across Xia Ting's right.
Xia Ting, who was swept away, couldn't help but ooze a trace of hair on the top of his right head, and his heart was trembling, but he had to continue talking.
"Hehe, Yu'er has been away for a long time, five years have passed unconsciously, and now it is almost sixteen, I ...... with you, your mother has been thinking about your relatives, if you haven't been fighting, maybe your son will be born!"
Xia Liangyu was noncommittal, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect that Xia Tingyouge Wanyi would actually put his mind on his marriage!
Xia Ting saw that Xia Liangyu was not angry, nor did he refute, thinking that he also had this intention, so he immediately climbed up the pole.
"I consulted with your mother, and I think your cousin Mo'er is not bad, atmospheric, beautiful, and most importantly, she fell in love with you at first sight. Oh, by the way, you saw her when you were a kid and played with her, remember?"
"Who?" Xia Liangyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Luo Yimo, Mo'er, your cousin's daughter, is fourteen years old this year. I remember when you were six years old, you played with her. Mo Ersheng's beauty, she has a deep affection for you, and she has asked your aunt to come over and ask a few times, it's not that you haven't returned to the court, and we can't reply to her, no, as soon as you come back, your aunt asked me to come and ask. β
"Luo Yimo?"
"Yes!"
Xia Liangyu thought about it, and finally remembered a little girl from the corner of his mind, and the reason why he still remembered it was because this girl had really helped him.
At that time, he was six years old, and under the training of Master Yimo, he was already independent, but in order to hide his strength, he still pretended to be soft and weak, and he nested in the backyard when he had nothing to do, almost never going out.
Xia Tingyou's cousin is called Xia Lan, who is married to Yongan Luofu, which can be regarded as Gao Pan, but after marriage, he only has one daughter, which is Luo Yimo.
Luofu is adjacent to Xiafu, so the two families have a close relationship.
When Luo Yimo was five years old, she followed Xia Xia Lan to Xia Mansion to eat and drink, and heard that she had a cousin who lived alone in the backyard, so she was very curious and sneaked to the backyard.
As soon as Luo Yimo saw Xia Liangyu, he fell in love with this cold and good-looking brother.
In those days, she followed his ass almost every day, and she followed him wherever he went, and she couldn't get rid of him. She saw that the backyard was cold and the food was average, so she secretly took a lot of food and sent it over, which really made Xia Liangyu eat a few meals.
Luo Yimo was very clingy to Xia Liangyu, and refused to leave even at night, and was still dragged away by Xia Xia Lan.
Because the two mansions are adjacent to each other, Luo Yimo often sneaks from the backyard path to Xiaoyuan to send some food, but Xia Liangyu has never cared.
In all fairness, Luo Yimo is a very beautiful and cute little girl, even Xia Liangyu, who has never been very close to people, does not hate her, after all, he has eaten several big meals from other people!
But if you want to say that you like it, it's just a person who doesn't hate it!
"Yu'er, I know you don't like Princess Yunzhu, but she is a princess after all, and she is even favored by the Queen Mother, and the emperor also hopes that Princess Yunzhu will marry you, and he wants to match you several times. Rather than this, it is better to marry early, and directly cut off Princess Yunzhu's thoughts, and besides, marrying your own family can also protect the glory of my Xia family, don't you say?"
"The glory of the Bao Xia family? Hehe, you said it, the emperor is very jealous of me, and if I marry a Luo family woman again, won't it make him even more jealous?" Xia Liangyu sneered, he didn't expect that this Xia Tingyou would actually have other ideas.
"Yu'er, you are the eldest son of the Xia family, and you are closely related to the Xia family.
"The eldest son?" The sarcasm in the corner of Xia Liangyu's eyes was undisguised.
Xia Liangyu's old face was a little hot, he felt that Xia Liangyu seemed to know something, and then thought about it, apart from him, Ge Wanyi and Uncle Kui knew about this matter, Xia Liangyu should not know his life experience, maybe he felt that he was neglected when he was a child and was dissatisfied.
"Yu'er, I know that you have been wronged, when I was a child, I put you alone in the backyard, I can't help it, then I just won the battle on the front line, and I was valued by the emperor, and I rose step by step, which attracted the eyes of many people, I and your mother were afraid that you would be remembered, and I used you to blackmail me, so I deliberately snubbed you, so that others thought that you were not treated by us, so that I would ...... it, and I would not hit you with my ideas! In addition, you are born without a heartbeat, and your face is ......, we are also afraid that your abnormality will be discovered by others, and if it is passed out, it will be regarded as an anomaly. Ahem, ahem, that's why we ....... β
Xia Tingyou had already thought about these words before he came, and it was supposed to be very smooth, but under Xia Liangyu's cold gaze, he was stunned and stammered.
The eyes of the Nine Domains are about to turn to the sky!
What about the crooks? Throwing a babbling child into a backyard far from the main yard and near a barren mountain, listening to the howl of a wolf every night? Just send a completely dumb and half-deaf grandmother to take care of her diet and daily life? What protection can protect like this?
If it weren't for Master Yimo, it's hard to say whether the master would have survived to this day! It's so shameful to speak!
"We ......, your mother and I have never been harsh ......on your resources, you ......, you are right, that book of soldiers, martial arts and other books ......, I, I also provide a large number of them, this ......, you can't deny it."
Xia Liangyu looked at Xia Tingyou steadily, and the chill in his eyes made Xia Tingyou's heart tremble.
Xia Liangyu caught a glimpse of Xia Ting's slightly trembling leg on the right side of his eye, hooked the corners of his mouth, and withdrew his gaze.
"Oh well, I'll think about it! By the way, my mother is okay!"
"Huh? Oh oh oh, it's okay!" Xia Tingyou was stunned for a moment, obviously not catching Xia Liangyu's sudden change in topic.
"Huh! Mother, I've been busy lately! When I'm free, I'll go and see her old man's house, so as not to disturb her big business!" Xia Liangyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.
Xia Tingyou's heart "burst" suddenly.
"Not busy, not busy, she ......, she still misses you, and has been talking about you lately! Huh!"
"Indeed, it's rare for her to be so worried about her, if I don't go back to see her, it seems that I am not filial, but I am in the center of the whirlwind, and the assassins around me are wave after wave, if I go to Xia Mansion, it is estimated that it will bring blood and light disasters to Xia Mansion! Lord Shangshu, aren't you afraid?"
Xia Liangyu rested his eyes slightly, and looked at Xia Tingyou with a slight smile.
An invisible coercion made it difficult for Xia Ting to breathe right, and he stammered, "No, no, Hou Ye said he laughed!"
"I'm not joking, you see that on the branch in front of you, there is the head of the assassin from the previous night, whoever sent the assassin, I will send the head to whoever it is, one a day!"
Xia Liangyu's words made Xia Tingyou cold in an instant, he followed the direction of Xia Liangyu's finger, he saw a human head with loose hair and eyes like a ball hanging on the branch of the window, swaying, staring at him like a demon, he was a person who had been on the battlefield, and he shouldn't have been afraid of this head, but at this moment, he was cowardly! He had the feeling that his head was dangling from a branch, how could he not be frightened!
"I suddenly remembered, there is still something to do, go first!" Xia Tingyou stood up all of a sudden, and said in a somewhat hurried tone.
"Oh! Something is wrong with Lord Shangshu! Then I won't keep you, Nine Domains, send off!"
Xia Liangyu didn't even raise the corner of his eyes.
"Yes, Master Hou!"
"Oh, by the way, I'll think about what you just said, and I'll give you an answer in a few days!"
Xia Tingyou was already frightened, and he didn't care about talking and left!
"Luo Yimo? Heh, I want to see, what does Ge Wanyi want to do?"
Xia Liangyu squinted, staring at Xia Tingyou, who was slightly flustered, with a chill on his face.
