Chapter 102: New Character - Empress of Great Xia (good-looking 4.5k words for subscription)
In the evening, Xue Mu sat in the box of the Guiyue Building.
He had already told the bustard.
As long as the capture of the Divine Catcher Division is coming, they will lead to this chamber.
Little by little as time passed.
In the entire chamber, there was only Xue Mu alone.
At this time, the old bustard came in.
She looked at Xue Mu and said anxiously, "Official, when will we serve this dish?" ”
"Don't worry, wait for someone to come, and then talk." Xue Mu said calmly.
The old bustard was a little helpless: "Official, if this person doesn't come, then we won't have a few dishes in this room one night." ”
"When the time comes, I'll settle the money for a table of dishes for you and help me pack it back." Xue Mu knew that the old bustard felt sorry for her broken silver taels.
Sure enough, when the old bustard heard it, he immediately laughed: "Oops~ Official, I didn't mean that, then you wait, I saw someone coming, I will lead up~"
With that, she squirmed away.
Judging by that back.
Although.
But it is also charming, fat and juicy.
"By the way, Official~ Do you want to call our top card up? Our girls here are very good~ All of them are eighteen kinds of martial arts, each showing their magical powers. ”
"No need."
"That official, the slave family will retire~"
Xue Mu knew the quality of the famous prostitutes in Guiyue Building.
Indeed, as the bustard said, everyone is proficient in playing and singing.
But he wasn't interested.
After all, there are still two tender women in the family.
Why bother looking for this kind of thousands of people riding thousands of people to touch.
What he's thinking about right now is the thing in front of him.
Actually, this is the case now.
Xue Mu had already guessed it.
After all, if a leader is parachuted, no one under his command will be comfortable.
Since they don't make themselves comfortable, then he won't make others comfortable either.
While he was thinking about it, the bustard attracted a man.
"Official, this is it!"
As the old bustard spoke, he looked at Xue Mu and said, "Master, someone is here, shall we serve the food?" ”
"Well, serve." Xue Mu nodded.
At this time, Zheng Jun immediately bowed his hand and said: "Xue Baihu, it's too late for your subordinates, please atone for your sins!" ”
"Don't tight, don't tight, come, sit down." Xue Mu smiled.
He pretended to ask, "By the way, the other brothers should be on the way, right?" ”
Zheng Jun was embarrassed at this time, he hesitated, and finally said: "That. Back to Xue Baihu, a few of them have something to do, and they may not be able to come. ”
"What's the matter?" Xue Mu continued to ask without being anxious or annoyed.
"Possibly. It's some private matter at home. Zheng Jun was a little weak-hearted.
Actually, it was half an hour ago.
When he learned that all the brothers in the ten places had decided not to go to Xue Mu's feast, Zheng Jun's heart was a little happy.
You know, he's been here for five years.
From an unknown nobody, he slowly became the identity of the general flag.
Now, I am only one step away from the position of 100 households.
but was robbed by a blind man who was nothing.
Who isn't angry?
So he persuaded the brothers to come to the banquet on time.
But I was happy in my heart.
After all, these brothers are oriented towards themselves.
And now that he is at the banquet, to a certain extent, he is not dissatisfied with the so-called Xue Baihu.
It's just what people want.
Xue Mu naturally knew what he was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.
So he smiled and said, "When I came to the Divine Capture Division, I heard Lord Nangong talk about Zheng Zongqi. ”
"Huh?" Zheng Jun was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "Xue Baihu, what did Lord Nangong say?" ”
She said. When Xue Mu said this, he waved his hand and pretended to shake his head: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”
This frightened Zheng Jun.
What kind of riddler are you numb!
Lao Tzu hammers a riddler!
But he still smiled awkwardly: "Xue Baihu, if you have anything, you can say it directly, don't worry about me." ”
"Actually," Xue Mu opened his mouth directly: "Lord Nangong knows Zheng Zongqi's ability, and even after I learned that Zheng Zongqi has been conscientious in the past few years, I took the initiative to say that I am willing to give you the position of this hundred households." ”
"But Lord Nangong said something that made me think she was really powerful."
Zheng Jun was really entangled by Xue Mu's words.
Now he is full of what his superiors say about him.
He anxiously asked, "What words?" Please also ask Xue Baihu to speak. ”
"Come on, have a drink." Xue Mu deliberately sold Guanzi and asked Zheng Jun to accompany him for a drink.
Zheng Jun also immediately poured two glasses of wine, and said to Xue Mu: "Xue Baihu, come, I'll do it first as a respect!" ”
After drinking it, he wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and continued to be curious: "Xue Baihu, what did Lord Nangong say?" ”
"She told me. Your destination is not just a hundred households, she wants to examine you. Xue Mu said seriously.
Zheng Jun was surprised: "Investigation? ”
"Yes, Expedition." Xue Mu nodded: "She told me that the reason why she didn't let you be one of the hundred households in ten places this time is because she wants to observe whether you are passive and sluggish because of this matter, if you are still as serious as before, then Lord Nangong thinks that you are a malleable talent." ”
"But if you slack off, she'll think you're just a utilitarian person."
"Zheng Zongqi, I shouldn't have said these words to you, but I know that Zheng Zongqi has always been loyal to the Divine Capture Division and sworn to serve to the death, such a talent, I don't want to be condescending, it just so happens that no one came today, so I just talked to you about the heart-wrenching words."
"Actually, I helped a lot in the bandit case, so I can only be the life of a hundred households, and you are different, only by precipitation can you have a thick accumulation."
After Xue Mu flickered like this.
Zheng Jun realized.
It turned out that Nangong Xue was testing him!
I almost missed a big thing!!
At this moment, Xue Mu is a great benefactor in his eyes!
If it hadn't happened that none of the brothers had come, he would never have said such remarks to himself.
Zheng Jun's face was full of emotion: "Xue Baihu, you think about your subordinates everywhere, your subordinates are really moved, I salute you three cups!" ”
Xue Mu hurriedly pretended to stop: "Hey, Zheng Zongqi, what are you talking about, although I can't see it clearly, but I can feel by my voice that Zheng Zongqi is loyal and honest, and at first glance he is a person who works seriously for the Divine Capture Division, so I don't want such a good seedling to be broken." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Jun felt that he couldn't drink this wine.
He immediately said: "From today on, Xue Baihu is my eldest brother, if Xue Baihu doesn't dislike it, please call me a little brother!" ”
"Brother Zheng, look at what you said." Xue Mu changed his tune.
Zheng Jun also knew that Xue Mu accepted him.
This is simply cooler than the candle night in the newlywed cave room!
Sure enough, same-sex is true love!
Looking at Xue Mu with a sincere face, Zheng Jun didn't know what to say.
When I think that I am still living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain today, I feel a little guilty when I think about it.
"I'll give Brother Xue another drink!"
"Hey, it's almost fine, Brother Zheng."
"No, it's rare for me to fall in love with Brother Xue, so I have to drink two more drinks today."
"Okay, okay, I'll also drink with Brother Zheng."
In the barracks of the Divine Catcher.
The catchers from the ten places are all discussing.
Chen Baiming looked at Zhu Ziyue and said, "Zhu Zi, let's not go to the banquet of the hundred households tonight, do you think he will be so angry?" ”
Zhu Ziyue lay on the bed, crossed his Erlang leg and said: "I don't know if he's angry or not, I just know that our brothers are quite cool." ”
At this time, a catcher who looked a little fat on the outside was worried: "But, in case that Xue Baihu is a person who holds grudges, will it be biased for a few of us to do this?" ”
"Don't worry, Zhou Fu, he has just come to ten hundred households, as long as our brothers work together, there will be absolutely no problem!" Chen Baiming said confidently.
But that week, Fu Catchy was still a little scared.
Originally, he wanted to go to Guiyue Tower today, but in the end he was stopped by a few of them.
Zhou Fu knew that if he offended the leader, it would be no good thing.
"My mother said that. Whoever you offend cannot offend the leader."
"Zhou Fu, you are your mother every day, your mother, you are really a mother's treasure!"
"Hahahaha, yes."
The night was getting deeper.
After a few quick gags, they all went to sleep.
What they don't know is that Zheng Jun, the big brother in their minds, has already defected.
Zheng Jun was a little drunk because he drank a few more glasses later.
Xue Mu had no choice but to help him and send him home.
It's a bit difficult to get a blind man to send someone back.
Fortunately, at night, the streets were empty.
He can also open his eyes and observe his surroundings.
After finally sending Zheng Jun back, he happened to open his eyes when he was in the child.
Xue Mu, who originally wanted to go back, planned to use this eye-opening time to investigate.
As for what is being inquired about.
Naturally, it's Xufu.
Last time, he and Liu Xiaodao came here and were attacked by the man in black.
At that time, Liu Xiaodao almost confessed here.
This time, he has opened his pulse quadruplely.
Plus vision has been restored.
Take a closer look at the Xu Mansion, there should be no problem.
Xue Mu came to the wall outside the Xu Mansion and looked at the surrounding environment.
After noticing that there was no movement.
He jumped up without a shadow.
With a wall of this height, there is not much difficulty for him.
I couldn't see it last time, so I didn't see the environment of Xu Mansion very clearly.
Now the situation in front of you is clear.
The walls of the mansion are already somewhat broken, and the paint on the interior walls is gradually fading, and there are even some obvious cracks.
Xue Mu walked into the mansion and found that the floor tiles on the ground had been piled with a layer of dust.
The windows were closed, but they were covered by faded cloths.
But the result is that the air inside the house is extremely hot.
There was an unbearable damp, musty smell throughout the mansion.
Xue Mu walked into the front hall and found some dilapidated paintings hanging in the room, and the characters in the paintings had faded.
But that wasn't what he was looking for.
He made his way to the backyard, which was also a withered scene.
From time to time, a few small grasses poked out of the grass.
There was a stinking water under the stone bridge.
Xue Mu crossed the stone bridge, came to the rockery, and began to search carefully.
According to what Xu Ruyan said.
Every time, Xu Jie would break everyone up and come to the rockery alone.
It proves that this rockery must have an ulterior secret.
Either the thing is still here, or someone has taken it.
Xue Mu looked around the rockery, touching the stones on it from time to time.
"If there is a mechanism, where will it be?"
Xue Mu thought about it.
Just as he was thinking, a hand quietly rested on his shoulder.
The moment Xue Mu felt it.
Immediately turn back, and at the same time use all your strength to hit the Heavenly Thunder Punch.
Now that he has basically practiced the Heavenly Thunder Fist, coupled with the strength of the Quadruple Pulse of the Open Pulse, this punch will be difficult for even opponents with higher strength than him to bear.
But when Xue Mu saw the comer clearly, he immediately put away his hand.
I saw Liu Xiaodao protecting his face and said, "My lord! It's me! ”
Xue Mu was very surprised: "Liu Xiaodao?!" Why are you here! ”
"Your Excellency, are your eyes healed?" Liu Xiaodao was shocked and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xue Mu could only explain: "I listened to your voice. ”
"Grown-ups have amazing ears." Liu Xiaodao smiled hesitantly.
"You were just behind me, why didn't I feel it?" Xue Mu asked.
Liu Xiaodao smiled embarrassedly at this time: "My lord, you must know that I taught you the shadowless microstep, so I must have left a hand~"
Xue Mu:.
Sure enough, he knew that this guy hadn't taught him everything.
But Liu Xiaodao immediately said: "My lord, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will hand over the last mantra to you, and promise to let you kill people invisibly." ”
Xue Mu knew that he didn't tell the truth, so he asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't you say you went to the land of Jianghuai before? ”
"I'm going." Liu Xiaodao said calmly: "I'm back again." ”
"Why?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know, I've encountered too many things along the way." Liu Xiaodao sighed.
Seeing this, Xue Mu walked directly.
Liu Xiaodao hurriedly followed: "My lord, where are you going?" ”
"Buy chicken butts, and you tell me everything you see and hear on the road." Xue Mu explained.
Liu Xiaodao: "Chicken ass!" ヾ(▽)ノ”
Xue Mu is now only living in the capital.
I don't know anything other than the capital.
So he had to learn the outside information through Liu Xiaodao's newspass.
Along the way, Liu Xiaodao said loudly: "Along the way, I have eaten chicken butts in five places, but I still think that at that time in the prison, the chicken butts that adults gave me were the most fragrant."
Xue Mu stopped.
Liu Xiaodao said curiously: "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
"If you don't say anything I want to hear, let alone chicken butt, I'll beat your ass to the end later." Xue Mu said indifferently.
"My lord, don't, your strength has improved a lot now compared to before, I said I'll say." Liu Xiaodao immediately said: "Actually, I went south all the way to the land of Jianghuai, and the most I saw was the displaced people. ”
"Outcasts?" Xue Mu frowned.
"yes." Liu Xiaodao continued: "There are too many, all along the way, they eat whatever they see, what tree roots, wild grass, and even some people end up cooking children. ”
"Cook a child?"
"Those children didn't survive and died, so they had to cook and eat."
Xue Mu:.
For Xue Mu, these messages shocked him a little.
After all, in the capital, there are also slums.
But they can still eat a few buns a day.
I didn't expect that outside the capital, there would be such a miserable life.
"Also, many people in the capital go to the homeless people to pick people." Liu Xiaodao explained.
"Who's the one to pick?" Xue Mu asked.
"Pick slaves, there are some sons who especially like to raise little girls, and then some people even like to use slaves to fight, whoever falls to the ground first, the slave's son will lose, too much."
Xue Mu:.
Sure enough, there are no wonders in this world.
As he was talking, Liu Xiaodao and Xue Mu both heard footsteps at the same time.
"Let's go."
Xue Mu grabbed Liu Xiaodao and hid aside.
After a while, a horse-drawn carriage sped by.
Xue Mu listened attentively.
There was a lot of crying on the carriage.
There was also a deep male voice inside who whispered: "Don't make noise! ”
Looking at the direction in which the carriage was walking, Xue Mu frowned.
"My lord, let's go eat chicken butts."
"Hmm"
On the other side, the inner courtyard of the palace is beautiful, with magnificent buildings and elaborate decorations that reflect the symbols of royal power and power.
There are two huge ivory-colored curtains in the dormitory room of the Great Xia Kingdom, which are embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, which make the whole room look even more luxurious.
The huge pennant hanging on the wall is shining like gold characters, all showing momentum and dignity.
The maidservants next to her were waiting quietly.
They waited for the people on stage.
Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The empress admired by thousands of people.
