Chapter 2 Section 2 Playing the Three Butlers
During the period of living in the main mansion of the Ximen family, Sima Zuo, the great teacher, and Zhuge Xu, the great military teacher, came together to persuade Ling Tian to participate in the national military pavilion for military training, and he could present the battlefield affairs to the Ming Emperor, exempt Ling Tian from all expenses, and also add officials to the knighthood, and he would definitely become a famous general in the future.
But he was rejected by Ling Tian, only saying that he was just a servant of the Ximen family, and he couldn't stand such a favor, Ximen Xiao, the head of the Ximen family, didn't force him when he heard Ling Tian's words, Ling Tian, who was so highly regarded by him, stayed in his lord's mansion as a servant, he naturally had a lot of face.
Later, when Ximen Xiao asked Ling Tian why he didn't agree to the proposal of the two adults, Ling Tian only said that he wanted to play with his second brother Ximen Wuji, he was still young, and he would worship the mountain gate with Ximen Wuji in the future, so he would have a good response. Ximen Xiao immediately agreed.
Time flies, and it has been more than two months since I stayed in the Ximen Main Mansion in a blink of an eye. It was a cold winter, and in the middle of two months, the country was not calm, and I often heard that the news came out, and the people in the demon sect had moved, as if they were plotting some schemes, and many young disciples of the big sects suddenly disappeared, thinking that they were killed or taken away by the disciples of the demon sect.
Several major families are also often harassed, the strength of the garrison in the main mansion has been strengthened a lot, Ling Tian often sees the guards in the main mansion of the West Gate divided into small teams to patrol, the gate of the main mansion is closed, no one is allowed to go out or enter, Ximen Xiao also sent four or five guards to protect Ling Tian, Ling Tian did not care, and strengthened so much of the garrison, even if the people of the Demon Gate came, they might not be able to go.
But Ximen Wuji is restless, he used to be lazy and idle, he often went to Kyoto with Ling Tian and Ying Li to go shopping and walk, and now he has restricted his travel, he is very bored, and he is not even in the mood to have fun with Ling Tian, he sits in the house with Ling Tian and Ying Li every day, full of complaints, and his mood is very bad, and he is bored and does not accompany Ling Tian, and he goes into the study to study his strange books...
It was already night, and after settling down in Yingli, Ling Tian washed his face alone in the room, preparing to rest, when he suddenly saw something flickering on the beam from the reflection of the bronze mirror, and looked carefully at the bronze mirror, and there was clearly a person squatting on the beam in the reflection, which really startled him.
Without making a sound, he took care of the bed as usual, looking at the bronze mirror from time to time, only to see that there were actually four or five people squatting on the beam, and they had no intention of leaving, Ling Tian carefully watched their every move.
Ling Tian was already oozing cold sweat from his body at this time, I don't know when these people came, how long had they been watching him on that beam, if it had been a few days and nights, and he had been silently unaware, then how unfathomable the strength of these people was, and the few guards sent by Ximen Xiao might not be able to deal with it.
Thinking about it, if there is an assassin hidden in this house, it must be a child of the Demon Gate, if someone is hiding in Yingli's room, Yingli is a girl who is timid and small, if she finds out, she will make a noise to provoke the children of the Demon Sect to do it, but it will be very disadvantageous to her...
He opened the door quietly, and saw a few guards standing at the door, he loudly ordered these guards to guard Ying Li's room, several guards looked at each other, and the head of the family also ordered these people to guard Ling Tian's two people, he and Ying Li, and later Ling Tian once proposed that these guards should not hinder themselves too much, so Ximen Xiao also ordered these guards to obey Ling Tian's arrangement, that is, Ling Tian could make them stop disturbing themselves.
Several guards thought about it and felt that Ling Tian and Ying Li's room was not too far away, so they went to Ying Li's room to inspect. Ling Tian closed the door, wanting to see what these people on the beam were trying to do, and he was about to turn off the lights.
"Bell bell-" There was a rapid knock on the door, "Third brother, are you asleep?" I didn't think that Ximen Wuji would come to him at this time, he opened the door, and before Ximen Wuji spoke, he spoke first: "Second brother, I'm going to sleep, you go back and rest, pay attention to safety." Then he closed the door directly.
Seeing Ling Tian say this, Ximen Wuji went back to his room thoughtfully, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Ling Tian's expression and demeanor were abnormal, and he also said... Stay safe?
So he summoned the third butler and sent him to see what Ling Tian was up to. The third housekeeper answered Ximen Wuji and hurriedly went to Ling Tian's room to knock on the door.
Just let Ximen Wuji eat the closed door, Ling Tian sat down in the house, thinking that if the disciples of the Demon Gate infiltrated the Ximen family, and heard rumors that the children of the Demon Gate only attacked young talents, then the purpose of their coming this time must be to catch the young master of the Ximen family, Ximen Wuji is so smart, he will definitely understand what he means, I hope he will deal with it carefully.
Just as he was about to turn off the lights to see if the man on the beam could make any moves, there was a knock on the door again.
Opening the door, the third housekeeper rushed directly into the house, his face hurried, "What are you doing?" The third young master asked me to ask you what happened. ”
Ling Tian was worried about how to deal with the person on the beam at this time, but who knew that the third steward directly rushed in and shouted to death, thinking that Ximen Wuji didn't find the message that Ling Tian wanted to convey to him.
Ling Tian gave the third housekeeper a look, but he continued to say regardless of it: "You're still frowning, little young master, please hurry up and tell what's going on, it's a big night, I still want to go back to sleep quickly." ”
Ling Tian continued to give him a look as he said, "Ah... That one... I'm going to wash my feet, there's no water in the room, go get me some..."
The third steward didn't notice it at all, "Won't you go by yourself if you don't have water?" I'm old, you really have a heart, my little ancestor! Okay, you wait, fetch water for you and go to bed quickly, don't make trouble." He walked away.
Ling Tianxin said that this old man was also stupid, his eyes were about to be thrown out, but he didn't notice that there was anyone on the beam! Looking at the bronze mirror, the people on the beam seemed to have discovered that Ling Tian's identity was not very important, or they had some actions to leave.
Ling Tian thought to himself, if he left, he would definitely go to find Ximen Wuji, who had just left, Ximen Wuji's identity was exposed, if he let these people out, it would definitely be unfavorable to him.
Thinking of this, the third steward came back with a basin of water, and his mouth was still babbling.
Ling Tian thought about it, he had suffered at the hands of this old man before, and he had been nagging him all day long, at this time, the disciples of the Demon Sect were on the beam and wanted to arrest Young Master Ximen, so he had a plan to make a fool of this old man, and he could... Just as he was worried that no one was gluing, a sticky bean bag fell from the sky, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on Ling Tian's face.
Seeing the third housekeeper coming back, Ling Tian hurriedly said loudly: "What, Young Master Ben wants to wash his feet, you come and wash me!"
The third housekeeper was stunned for a moment, "You... You—" are about to have a seizure.
Ling Tian slapped him on the head, "If you want to wash it, you will wash it, what are you, yours..."
The third butler glanced at his eyes, and there was a spirit on his body, and he was silent for a moment, "Ah... Yes... No... Good... Okay..."Although he was dizzy by the situation at that time, he still catered to Ling Tianlai. Sent Ling Tian to the couch and sat down, squatted down, and as if serving the young master, he pulled up his trousers for Ling Tian, and carefully lifted his feet and washed them.
"Ah, I said housekeeper, what did my second brother say over there?" Ling Tian asked absentmindedly as he thought about countermeasures. I guess he didn't know what he was asking.
"Oh? no... It's nothing... Still... What else to command..."The butler was too frightened to make much movement, his thoughts were confused, and he agreed haphazardly.
Ling Tian glanced at the bronze mirror, and those people on the beam stayed safely, thinking that he wanted to see if this person who called himself the young master and also called the second brother of Ximen Wuji had any use value, it seemed that he was a little tricky, and he began to gradually believe in Ling Tian's identity as Young Master Ximen. Then there is no need to go to Simon Wuji again.
"I want to eat a banana!" Ling Tian hurriedly shouted at the butler.
The third housekeeper respectfully peeled the banana on the table and handed it to Ling Tian, Ling Tian took a bite, threw it into the footbasin, and splashed the face of the Ximen butler who was serving the basin, "Oops... My young master... What do you want to do..."The three stewards were about to cry.
"I want to eat apples, bananas don't taste good!" Ling Tian continued. The third housekeeper respectfully brought an apple, at this time his legs and stomach were cramping, and he trembled vigorously, thinking in his heart what was the origin of the people on this beam, no one noticed when he secretly entered the Ximen family, and hurriedly came out of this house to call someone, stay here in case something goes wrong, his life is not guaranteed, what is Ling Tian, this ancestor, going to make trouble, what kind of trick is playing, and he will kill my bad old man.
Ling Tian took the apple and took a bite, and continued to instruct the third housekeeper, "The flower pot on the left side of the door, it looks an eyesore, you move it to the right for me!"
The third housekeeper did so, snorting and moving the flower pot, Ling Tian glanced at Liang Shang again, the man had already taken out his weapon, it seemed that he had already determined the identity of Ling Tian was the young master of Ximen, and wanted to find an opportunity to do it.
Ling Tian threw the apple in his hand out of the hand with a "snap", and smashed it on the head of the Ximen butler, and a big bag appeared on the head of the third butler, Ling Tian had received a lot of training in the army, and this smash almost knocked the third butler unconscious.
The third steward stood up in a daze, pointed at Ling Tian and shouted, "You... You..."
"What are you, you, you..." Ling Tian saw that the third steward was going to be unable to act, and he tried his best to make the third steward who was stunned quickly sober up, and his heart was furious, he had gone too far this time, and the situation was not good.
"You deceive people too much!" The third butler didn't care about it, thinking about when he had been treated like this, and started a fire, thinking that even if he was killed by the people on the beam, he couldn't let this kid play to death!
"Third brother, third brother..."At the same time, Ximen Wuji's voice came from outside the door, thinking that it was because the third housekeeper had not returned for a long time, and thinking of what Ling Tian said, "pay attention to safety", he brought more than a dozen guards to see what was abnormal.
The third steward heard Ximen Wuji's voice and saw that Ximen Wuji had already walked to the door. Afraid that the people on this beam would be unfavorable to Ximen Wuji, and he couldn't play it anyway, so he shouted loudly outside the door, "There are assassins! There are assassins!"
The people on the beam moved quickly, and Ling Tian shouted, "Second brother, be careful!" rushed to the door, slammed the door upside down, and locked himself in the house.
