Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 283 Take care of the palace
"It should be, but the opening of the Heavenly Secret Realm this time is very abnormal. ”
Although Zhang Haomin was not very sure in his heart, he had an extremely strong premonition about it, and even decided that there should be a conspiracy behind the appearance of the Heavenly Secret Realm this time.
It was precisely because of his concern that he was so anxious to tell Xiaoyao about it.
"Abnormal? What else can be abnormal about the opening of this Heavenly Secret Realm?"
"So far, I haven't heard any other news about the Heavenly Secret Realm, but based on what I heard in the teahouse, I'm afraid the appearance of the Heavenly Secret Realm this time is not simple. ”
Seeing Zhang Haomin's solemn expression, Xiaoyao's heart couldn't help but become heavy.
You must know that with the appearance of the Blood Moon, a prophecy that has been circulating for nearly a thousand years has begun to be gradually confirmed, and the comeback of fallen immortals and alien races is about to become a catastrophe in this world.
At such a critical juncture, if something strange happened in the Heavenly Destiny Secret Realm, wouldn't it indicate something?
"What did you hear in the teahouse?"
"At that time, the two of them were talking in a sneaky whisper, and I didn't listen to them very much, but I vaguely heard what they said about appearing four times in one day, and they mentioned the Heavenly Destiny Secret Realm. ”
In fact, Zhang Haomin didn't hear much, after all, the other party soon discovered him, so he kept silent.
And this is also where he feels extremely strange, if the other party is just boasting about patting the horse, they shouldn't care that this is heard by others, just like the person who brags about the phantom demon beast.
The fact that they are so careful means that there is a good chance that this is true.
But once the things they whispered were true, then this matter was full of too many strange places, how could Zhang Haomin not care?
"Four times in one day? impossible, impossible, once this Heavenly Secret Realm appears, it will always stay in the same place, and it will be open for more than ten days. ”
"So, that's what I find weird. ”
"Could it be that you misheard, or that those two men were just talking gibberish? After all, in a teahouse like that, there are many people who brag about patting horses. ”
Zhang Haomin hesitated for a while, but shook his head firmly.
If he hadn't heard these words, it would have been okay, since he had heard them, then it was natural to believe them rather than believe them, and it was better to prepare in advance.
"I don't know why, but I'm always worried in my heart, I'm afraid it's not fake. ”
"How can the things you feel in your heart count? If the Heavenly Fate Secret Realm really appears, let alone Jian'an City, how can this radius of several miles be so quiet?"
After all, Xiaoyao is an immortal, and his perception of the Heavenly Secret Realm is still extremely sensitive.
If the real Heavenly Secret Realm appeared, how could he not perceive it? There was no trace of the appearance of the Heavenly Destiny Secret Realm within his perception range, and it was difficult for him to believe Zhang Haomin's words.
Moreover, the place where Zhang Haomin heard this was in the teahouse after all, and the source of the news aroused suspicion.
"Oh, I've already told you, this time the appearance of the Heavenly Secret Realm is very abnormal, and many places are quite strange. ”
"That can't be the case, I don't believe that this Heavenly Secret Realm has really been opened anyway. ”
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it, anyway, you need to go out and choose a gift, and ask by the way. ”
The reason why Zhang Haomin talked to Xiaoyao about this matter was that he planned to let Xiaoyao help check it.
After all, Xiaoyao is an immortal, and his means are naturally not comparable to Zhang Haomin, if it is up to him to find out the news of the secret realm of the Heavenly Destiny, it will naturally be the best thing.
"Okay then, wait until I go out and find out the news. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
This time the appearance of the Heavenly Secret Realm, Zhang Haomin always felt that something was strange, so that his heart was very uneasy.
If this matter was put in the past, Zhang Haomin would definitely be extremely excited, clamoring to go to the secret realm of Tianyuan to find out, after all, there are countless treasures in it.
This time, however, he was completely uninterested, as if it were an ominous place.
When he was lying on the bed just now, he was still thinking in his heart, what did the appearance of the Heavenly Secret Realm portend this time?
"Then you don't have anything else to do, do you?"
"No, you can hurry up and find a gift for your sweetheart, but you have to come back early tonight. ”
"Come back early?
Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Haomin angrily, this was completely squeezing his sweet time.
Facing Xiaoyao's dissatisfied gaze, Zhang Haomin didn't think so, after all, what level of cheekiness was he, how could he feel embarrassed because of this?
Not to mention that he still has something to do at the moment, so he said.
"Tomorrow we will leave Jian'an City, and before leaving, Xiao Ba's grudge will naturally be settled. ”
"You're leaving tomorrow? ”
Xiaoyao didn't care much about Xiao Ba's grudge, it was just a matter of raising his fingers.
And the reason why he was so surprised was only because if they were going to leave tomorrow, he thought that he didn't have much time to spend with his beloved girl, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
"Heh, it's been two days since the sect Dabi ended, if it weren't for waiting for you, I would have set off early this morning. ”
The various sects that came to participate in the sect competition were almost gone at this time.
Today's sage residences, including the Shenghua Sect, add up to only more than ten sects, and most of them are sects that are not far from Jian'an City.
"Then I'll try to get back as soon as I can. ”
"Hey, what do you mean by trying to do it?"
Zhang Haomin was about to say something more, but when he looked up, Xiaoyao was gone.
This made him worry about what was going on tonight, and according to the fact that he was going to be urinating all afternoon, I was afraid that nine times out of ten he would delay tonight's affairs.
"This person in love is really crooked. ”
It's just that Zhang Haomin forgot one thing, and he was just as tired last night.
Coming out of Xiaoyao and Xiao Ba's house, Zhang Haomin returned to his room with his eyes closed, Chen Kaiyu was still asleep, and Xiao Ba was cultivating with his eyes closed.
Just now, Xiaoyao helped him treat the injury on his leg, and at this time, he naturally had to hurry up and recover.
Xiao Ba seemed to sense that someone was coming, so he immediately withdrew from his cultivation state, opened his eyes and took a look, and happened to see Zhang Haomin tiptoeing into the room.
"Are you done?"
Although Chen Kaiyu snored constantly, Xiao Ba's voice was still a lot lowered.
And Xiao Ba's sudden questioning couldn't help but startle Zhang Haomin, he was completely a thief.
"Uh-huh, he hurried to meet his sweetheart privately. ”
"Sweetheart, Master, when did he have a sweetheart, why have you never heard him mention it?"
As soon as Xiao Bayi heard Zhang Haomin's words, he immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.
After all, Xiaoyao is a real immortal, if he has a sweetheart, then what kind of existence is the other party? Could it be that he is also an immortal?
"I guess it was the day before yesterday. ”
"Then have you seen my prospective master, how is the person?
"I've seen it, but it's only a few words, I don't know how she is, as for whether she is beautiful, well, it's really beautiful, and it's on par with the autumn fairy in the far south. ”
Zhang Haomin roughly estimated in his heart, that girl is not only comparable to Qiu Yuning's appearance, but also has a similar temper, and she is completely a strong woman.
It's just that he doesn't know much about it, and he's only seen it twice so far.
And at the beginning, he hit the other party's carriage, and he ran away in a hurry and didn't apologize, and the other party's temper was almost understandable, so Zhang Haomin didn't say it.
Before Zhang Haomin's words fell, Chen Kaiyu's snoring suddenly stopped, and he asked with a blank face.
"Autumn fairy?"
After seeing Chen Kaiyu behaving like this, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but pat his forehead helplessly, how could he forget this stubble?
If the autumn fairy is mentioned in front of this guy, it is completely like an alarm clock, no matter how well you sleep one second, the next second you will wake up 100% directly, and then look at them blankly.
"No, there are no autumn fairies, you can go to sleep immediately. ”
After hearing Zhang Haomin's words, Chen Kaiyu felt a little lost, and then yawned for a long time.
He had been asleep for a while, and when he woke up like this, he naturally couldn't sleep anymore, wiped the tears that overflowed from his eyes because of yawning, and sat up.
Chen Kaiyu is not fully awake now, and he looks ignorant.
Sunlight streams through the cracks in the windows, through the dust, and falls on the ground, giving a sense of tranquility.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm back, I just got to his house and said something, so he's here for a while. ”
Zhang Haomin looked at Chen Kaiyu's stupid appearance, couldn't help grinning, and sat on the chair to explain with a smile before Xiao Ba was about to answer Chen Kaiyu.
After Chen Kaiyu heard his words, the whole person suddenly sobered up a lot, and hurriedly asked.
"What? Immortal Venerable has returned, so where is he now?"
He had just left, and he was still thinking about what gift to choose. ”
"Oh. ”
Hearing Zhang Haomin's words, Chen Kaiyu couldn't help but be quite disappointed, and then as if deflated, he lay back on the bed again.
When the three of them were on their way together this morning, Chen Kaiyu made up his mind, as long as he waited for Xiaoyao to come back, he would try to see if he could worship Xiaoyao as a teacher.
That's an immortal, how could he miss such an opportunity?
After seeing Chen Kaiyu's unwavering appearance, Zhang Haomin shook his head and said.
"I have good news here, do you want to hear it?"
Say. ”
Chen Kaiyu, who is not completely awake at the moment, has a feeling of exhaustion, and even speaks weakly.
Zhang Haomin didn't care, he took out the handful of love flowers directly from the fingers of the son and mother, glanced at Chen Kaiyu, who was loveless, shook the love flowers in his hand, and said.
"It has just been confirmed that this bouquet is indeed a love flower. ”
"Oh. ”
Before Chen Kaiyu's lazy voice fell, he reacted quickly and hurriedly got up from the bed again.
The two eyes widened, looking at the bouquet of love flowers in Zhang Haomin's hand in disbelief, and then, the smile on his face reached the root of his ears as soon as possible, and he shouted excitedly.
"I just said, how can this be spotted grass? Who am I, and I can be deceived by others?"
Zhang Haomin threw the flower to Chen Kaiyu angrily, so frightened that Chen Kaiyu hurriedly got up and caught it, for fear of hurting the love flower again, but fortunately there was no accident, so he said.
"This thing is worth a yellow Eternal Stone, you can't be careful. ”
"A yellow Eternal Stone, you've not been deceived, have you? ”
Xiao Ba's eyes widened and he looked at the handful of love words in Chen Kaiyu's hand, he couldn't believe how expensive it was.
He naturally recognized the spotted grass, and he couldn't see any difference from this so-called love flower, so that he had the illusion that Chen Kaiyu had been deceived.
"Damn, you've been deceived, it's worth a yellow Eternal Stone, and it's even more than enough. ”
"I don't think it's worth it at all, one yellow eternal stone is enough to buy five hundred meat buns. ”
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat every day. ”
Chen Kaiyu glanced at Zhang Haomin with disdain, and then carefully put away the love flower.
Zhang Haomin They don't understand the value of this love flower, but he understands it very well, this is simply a courtship treasure that is hard to buy, how can it not be worth it.
According to the old woman's words, once he gave this flower to Qiu Yuning, then their marriage would also be involved.
Such a precious thing, let alone a yellow Eternal Stone, even if it was a blue, no, even if it was an indigo Eternal Stone, he didn't care at all.
Regarding Chen Kaiyu's sarcasm, how could Zhang Haomin not fight back, and said casually.
"Sleep, sleep, you guy knows how to sleep every day. ”
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
After Chen Kaiyu put the love flower into the mother ring, he was satisfied and lay down on the bed again.
Although he had slept enough, it was impossible for him to fall asleep again, but he just wanted to lie lazily on the bed, without thinking about anything, and enjoy this moment of comfort.
"Hey, Xiao Ba, you can prepare tonight. ”
Their plan tonight is to avenge Xiao Ba, so naturally they have to inform Xiao Ba.
However, Xiao Ba was confused, he didn't know what Zhang Haomin meant by this, what were you going to do tonight, and how should you prepare?
"Is there anything going on tonight?"
"We're going to leave early tomorrow morning, can't you take revenge?"
Xiao Ba heard Zhang Haomin mention that heavy matter again, and he was choked up and speechless for a while.
He had been waiting for the day of revenge for a long time, and he originally thought that there was no hope of revenge in three or five years, after all, if he couldn't enter the fitting realm, he would not be qualified to fight with Fei Zongsheng.
However, now Zhang Haomin has given him this opportunity to take revenge, and he naturally will not miss it.
"Okay, then I'll go back and get ready. ”
For the bloody feud back then, how could Xiao Ba forget it?
Everyone up and down the Tsing Yi building was killed by Fei Zongsheng's brute, including his wife and children, just like that, even if he died, he had to settle this account with Fei Zongsheng.
After Xiao Ba left, Zhang Haomin looked at Chen Kaiyu who was still lying on the bed, and said angrily.
"How long have you been lying here? If you lie down any longer, you're going to have to degenerate. ”
"Degraded?"
Chen Kaiyu glanced at Zhang Haomin listlessly, he didn't understand what this degradation meant.
After all, in this world, there is no Darwinian theory of evolution, and if there is no theory of evolution, there will naturally be no talk of degradation.
"If you lie down like this, you're going to be an orangutan. ”
"Orangutans?"
"Oh, the ape. ”
"You're going to become an ape, and you've been walking all morning, and you can't let people rest. ”
After all, they walked on foot for a whole morning, walking from Xicheng to Dongcheng, and then from Dongcheng to the Imperial City.
If this big circle comes down, that is, Zhang Haomin can't feel tired, otherwise, he will definitely lie in bed honestly at this time and enjoy the quiet afternoon.
"Haomin, the national teacher is here. ”
Zhang Haomin was about to say something when Xiong Gongye's voice came from the front yard.
Only then did he remember that he had explained to Huang Liang earlier, and he must have brought the attendant, so he hurriedly answered.
"Hey, here we are. ”
Sure enough, when Zhang Haomin arrived, Huang Liang was sitting in the room with the attendant.
Zhang Haomin entered the room briskly, Huang Liang and the attendant hurriedly stood up from their seats, after all, Zhang Haomin's identity as the king was there, and they didn't dare to slack off.
"Didn't you say you should come quickly, why did you come now?"
"Oh, I didn't just in time for dinner, so I came after eating. ”
Huang Liang was asked by Zhang Haomin like this, and naturally felt very empty-hearted, but fortunately, he had already thought of a reason.
Since this attendant had been in a coma since he was pulled out of Ning'an Palace, of course Huang Liang didn't dare to bring him directly to Zhang Haomin's eyes, wasn't he impatient.
As a result, the little squire enjoyed the highest treatment in his life.
The imperial physician in the Imperial Doctor's Department personally checked the pulse, and the great master Huang Liang was on the side to ask for warmth, and even the high-ranking manager Fei was also carefully serving on the side at this time.
In the entire Da'an Kingdom, I am afraid that the only person who can enjoy such treatment is the Emperor of Heaven himself.
Therefore, this little attendant was simply flattered, after eating the carefully prepared lunch, and washing and changing clothes under the service of a special person, he had the appearance of standing in front of Zhang Haomin now.
Even because of this high-end treatment, he still hugged his head and cried for it.
After all, he was brought to Ning'an Palace to do that kind of thing, so fortunate to pick up a life, but in the face of such a posture, he thought that he was going to see him off.
It was only after Huang Liang promised him that he believed Huang Liang's words and came with him.
"Did he give you the clothes he borrowed from you before?"
"The national teacher gave the small one. ”
Faced with Zhang Haomin's questioning, the little attendant hurriedly replied in fear, not daring to raise his head.
In fact, the moment he saw Zhang Haomin, he still couldn't control his tears, if there was no Zhang Haomin, his little life would probably have been explained in Ning'an Palace.
Now that he saw his life-saving benefactor, how could he be indifferent.
Seeing him like this, Huang Liang quietly patted him, after all, he had already said before he came, he must not mention the matter of Ning'an Palace, and this attendant also promised him.
Zhang Haomin didn't see Huang Liang's small movements, but when he saw the appearance of this attendant, he asked.
"Why are you crying all of a sudden? Could it be that what happened to them to you these two days?"
"No, no, how can we embarrass him. ”
As soon as he heard Zhang Haomin's words, he was suddenly frightened and covered with cold sweat, and hurriedly explained to Zhang Haomin.
But Huang Liang's explanation made Zhang Haomin's heart feel even more unhappy, the main person had not yet spoken, but he took the first step to speak for him, this alone is very good.
"You don't have to be afraid of anything, if they bully you, just tell me, as long as I'm here, I won't dare to touch a finger of you. ”
"No, the little one is just a little excited to see the prince again, and he hopes that the prince will atone for his sins. ”
For Huang Liang's previous entrustment, this attendant naturally didn't dare to forget, after all, Zhang Haomin himself said that if he was here, no one would dare to move a finger of him, what if he wasn't there?
After all, this is Jian'an City, and he still needs to stay here, how dare he offend Huang Liang.
Besides, the matter of Ning'an Palace really has nothing to do with Huangliang and them, if they really want to be held responsible, in addition to the queen who started the matter, they can only be held accountable to the head of the head of the house fee.
When Ning'an Palace went to the respectful room to dignitaries, the manager Fei agreed.
In fact, this matter is still Zhang Haomin's problem in the final analysis, when this attendant secretly took Zhang Haomin out of the imperial city that day, he mentioned it to the Gu Mask Army.
As a result, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, it reached the ears of the person in Ning'an Palace.
So, there was a matter of bringing him to Ning'an Palace.
What happened this morning, the attendant can be said to have suffered a lot of humiliation, and finally was tortured alive and fainted.
As for the fate of fainting in Ning'an Palace, he naturally knew very well, after all, he had helped to send people to the old coffin shop, and there was no whereabouts since.
Therefore, it is a miracle that he can still stand here at this moment.
Although he knew that all this was Zhang Haomin's ability, but after staying in the palace for so many years, he had already learned to behave tactfully, and no one tried not to offend.
"What's there to be excited about seeing me?"
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but feel inexplicable, so much so that he felt a chill in his heart.
If a girl was so excited to shed tears when she saw him, he would be very happy, but if he was replaced by such an attendant, he would inevitably lose his pleasure.
"Sit down, don't stick there. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang. ”
As a small squire, how dare he sit down in front of such an important big person.
Since Zhang Haomin ordered him to sit down, he naturally had to thank Zhang Haomin first, otherwise he would not have the courage to sit down.
"Because I had something important to do that day, I didn't have time to ask your name, what is your name?"
As soon as he heard what Zhang Haomin said, Huang Liang suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he naturally knew what this so-called important thing was, so he hurriedly shrunk down and sat there obediently.
After hearing Zhang Haomin's question, the attendant hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed down and said.
"Back to the prince's words, the little one is called Gui Lei. ”
"You don't need to be so polite, you just sit there and say it. ”
This is no better than the era when Zhang Haomin lived, especially those who were born in the palace, had to abide by various rules.
Therefore, Zhang Haomin still doesn't like the appearance of getting up and saluting as soon as he speaks, which makes him always feel that he is a landlord and a rich man, which is very embarrassing.
"Thank you. ”
"Gui Lei, what are you responsible for in the palace?"
"Back to the prince's words, the little one is on an errand in the palace and does everything. ”
Zhang Haomin didn't know what this respectful room was, so after hearing the words of this attendant, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, there were still places to do everything in this palace.
Moreover, looking at the appearance of this squire, he is at best a presence that can be sent by others.
"Are you interested in helping me take care of the mansion?"
As soon as Zhang Haomin said this, whether it was Huang Liang or this attendant, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Taking care of the mansion, wouldn't that be just letting this attendant go to the palace to be a housekeeper, this is a first-class fat difference.
is like the steward of the Zhenbei Palace, once he becomes the housekeeper in the palace, his status is naturally a rising ship, and he suddenly changes from serving people to being served.
So, the little attendant hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said.
"Thank you for the prince's weight, and the small one is willing to smear the prince's liver and brain. ”
