Chapter 2: Mr. Er, Mr. Big
Seeing the light golden paper talisman on Ye Tian's hand, Lin Hengshan suddenly realized that no matter whether he agreed to the other party's request or not, the other party would still kill people. From the beginning, Ye Tian had no intention of letting himself survive.
Then let’s see who will die!
Lin Hengshan's pupils instantly changed from purple to metal gray. The long sword around his waist clattered and popped up automatically, like a dragon's roar. The sword's edge was three feet long, and it was as red as blood. Under the layers of blood, eyes as dark as the abyss opened, full of resentment.
Lin Hengshan had made up his mind to kill this Taoist man under the sword. Even if he had evil Taoist palace from now on, as long as he did not leave Xiaoyao Hou, he would not believe that Xiaoyao Hou would send his hands out and let the people in the entire Yujing City laugh at it.
The worst result is that my father and daughter died in this city and no one can help. If that is the case, let more people from the Taoist Palace come to bury them!
"You can stop."
Amid the thunderstorm, a lazy sound came. Ye Tian's hand froze and wanted to release the thunder talisman, but suddenly his heart aches. He looked down and saw that there was a bright red blood spot on the snow-white Taoist robe in the position of his heart.
Lin Hengshan's qi and blood were urging, and he was about to kill him, but suddenly the sound came into his ears. His hand froze for a moment, but he did not continue to attack. The long sword that was flying out of the sheath fell gently back into the scabbard with a tingling sound. Lin Hengshan's murderous aura instantly restrained.
This moment is really a heaven and hell. Even if the head of the Qi Refiner can be cut off, I will live a life of stagnation from now on. Every day, I must be wary of the people in the Taoist Palace coming to seek revenge.
On the side of the road, a small door opened silently, and a very wide person walked out. Lin Hengshan was already considered majestic, but his body proportions were very moderate. And this person could no longer be described as fat. If the streets of Yujing City were not too wide, he would have blocked a street alone in the countryside.
This fat man looks in his sixties, and his wrinkles are flattened because of too much fat on his face. Fortunately, there is no greasy feeling under this person's skin, and it doesn't look disgusting.
The fat old man was wearing a very well-fitting blue brocade robe. He could cut the brocade robe to fit his figure, but it did not look abrupt. The tailor's skills were also shocking and inspiring ghosts.
When Ye Tian saw the fat old man, he stroked his chest with his hands, coughed, and a wisp of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Before Ye Tian could speak, the fat old man smiled and said, "Ye Tian, Lin Hengshan is the teacher invited by my master for the prince. So I am not meddling in other people's business. If you dare to do it again... I will kill you to drink."
Ye Tian swallowed a sword ball in his mouth in a hurry.
He dared not ignore the fat old man's words. Because the other party's reputation was not made by his mouth. Even if Qingyang Dao Palace can avenge him, it would be worth it to exchange his life for the life of a slave of Xiaoyao Hou.
"Mr. Gu, it seems that it was a misunderstanding. I just passed by and saw that this girl is good. I wanted to take it back and take it as a disciple." Ye Tian forced a smile and bowed to the fat old man.
"I believe it, you get out." The fat old man called Mr. Gu still looked smiling, and there was no murderous aura at all.
Lin Hengshan was surprised. The fat old man's clothes were luxurious, but his style looked clearly a servant. Ye Tian was so insulted, and just coughed, and the carriage door was closed. The eight horses seemed to know Ye Tian's mind and didn't want to stay for a moment, so as not to be insulted again. They spread their four hooves and flee as if they were flying.
The carriage escaped a hundred feet away, and Ye Tian's voice came from a distance.
"Lin Hengshan, if you refuse to give your daughter to me, just ask for your own blessing. Your good student will sooner or later cause harm to her. Then I will see how you deal with it, hahahaha..."
This sentence made Lin Hengshan feel confused.
He also specifically inquired about the reputation of Xiaoyao Hou Prince. Ye Tianlin went there and did not forget to provoke it, but what he said was the truth. Xiaoyao Hou has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years, and was recently transferred back to Yujing City and was granted the title of Grand Sima. Xiaoyao Hou Prince is said to have lacked discipline since childhood, arrogant, domineering, despicable and lustful...
Seeing Lin Hengshan pondering, the fat old man looked at Lin Hengshan with a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, the marquis was recruited into the palace by the emperor early in the morning. He specifically told me to pick you up. I am the second steward of the marquis's mansion. You can call me Mr. Gu in the future."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Gu." Lin Hengshan bowed calmly. Mr. Gu probably had seen him a long time ago, but he didn't appear until Ye Tian was about to kill someone. He wanted to see how brave he was and how strong he was. Ye Tian was very afraid of Mr. Gu, but Lin Hengshan did not pretend to be rude.
Fortunately, I had the experience of dealing with Qi Refiners in the battle just now, otherwise it would be almost impossible to block that sword at such a close distance. If something happened to me and I died, it would be worthless. What should I do with my daughter?
The fat Mr. Gu didn't seem to feel Lin Hengshan's indifference, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you have to be polite. We will be a colleague in the future. We also want you to take care of us."
No matter how hypocritical the fat man was, Lin Hengshan had no choice but to hold up his umbrella again, hold up his daughter's hand, follow Mr. Gu's footsteps, and walk towards the Xiaoyao Marquis' Mansion.
The long street seemed to have no end, with many archways, Huabiao, and tall stone gates, as if they were giant wilderness beasts that chose people to devour, crouching on the long street of Yujing City.
As soon as the Marquis entered the deep sea, Lin Hengshan didn't know if he still had hope to leave Yujing City in his life.
*☆******************
Yujing City is vast. After five miles of the imperial palace, it is the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion in the north. This Marquis Mansion occupies a huge area, with thousands of pavilions and endless.
The main gate of the Hou Mansion is a hundred feet high and is closed on weekdays. Only major days will open. On weekdays, there are cars and horses entering and leaving the east and west side doors.
The east gate is the place where the family members of the Hou Mansion enter and exit, and to the west is the entrance to the Xiaoyao Hou’s official residence. Although Xiaoyao Hou received the position of Grand Sima, his own title was not replaced. The Hou Mansion still had a team of officials to handle government affairs. First-class marquis had a fiefdom for thousands of miles, but Xiaoyao Hou could not return to the fiefdom, and even the staff had to follow him to live in Yujing City.
Behind the Xiaoyao Hou’s official residence is the residence of a staff member and an independent garden. Behind this small garden, there is a thirteen-story high-rise building. This is the real core area of the Hou’s Mansion, Langyuan’s sea of books and fiefdoms, all of which are handled here.
In the east gate, there is no huge courtyard where carriages are parked. It is directly a square garden with dozens of feet of rockery behind the rockery. This is a small living room. Xiaoyao Hou is not here, and the guests are only here. He will not be taken to the official residence, nor will he go deep into the mansion.
In the flower hall, a man with a fair face accompanied the guest to talk. The man was wearing a lilac brocade robe, a vermilion headscarf, and a beard under the jaw. He was elegant and elegant, looking in his early thirties.
The man he accompanied was wearing an official uniform, with a jade belt on his waist, a purple robe and a red python. He was clearly a senior official of the court, and he had at least the third rank. When he talked to the elegant man, he looked cautious.
The two were chatting without a word. Outside the flower hall, a servant rushed in in panic and threw himself on the ground and kowtowed, "Mr., it's not good, prince! The prince is struck to death by lightning!"
"Wow..." The elegant man slowly breathed out, and there was an angry look on his face.
"Mr., the prince..."
What else did the servant want to say? The elegant man shouted in a verbal voice.
"Come here, drag the slave out and beat him to death with sticks. By the way, check who introduced him to the mansion to do things."
The official chatting with the elegant man saw that Mr. Da was angry and the cold spring weather was sweating on his face. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Da, since the Marquis is not here, I will say goodbye and come to visit again next day."
There was such a big deal in Xiaoyao Hou's family, and if he stayed there, he was suspected of finding out the news. At present, the relationship between him and the Hou's Mansion was not as good as the same level as the same progress and retreat. If you accidentally get hurt, you will be crushed to pieces!
"Mr. Bai."
"Mr. Don't be polite, just call me Lao Bai, Lao Bai!" The official argued, and the expression on his face almost turned into flattery.
"Haha, Lao Bai, this title is good, it sounds kind." The elegant man didn't care. So what about the officials of the court? They are not as good as the housekeeper in the marquis's mansion. He really doesn't take this title in his heart. He has seen more people around Xiaoyao Hou. No matter what era, there are always many people who are inclined to be in power.
"Old Bai, I'm busy here, so I won't send you there. Come and arrange a carriage for the adults!"
The eldest gentleman stood up as he spoke. The white man had even more legs and feet. He had already stood up and left the flower hall. Two servants led him around the rockery, went out of the side to get on the road, and waited for the carriage.
The eldest gentleman was really angry just now. The Jindan stage Qi Refiner rarely got angry, but this matter was strange. The servant was rude and the servant was second. The news of the prince's accident was yelling in the servant's mouth, and I don't know how many people have heard of it.
I didn't know what the slave had said to others before coming. Thinking of this, the eldest gentleman asked the servant who was standing with his hands down: "Have you killed that slave just now?"
The servants looked at each other, and a young servant replied, "Mr., you have already fed the dog. If you don't relieve your hatred, let's cut the dog open and crush the bones and ashes."
The eldest Mr. Big face looked solemn and said, "No need, I'll take advantage of him. Has the second Mr. Two come back yet?"
"Reply to Mr. Big, not yet."
"Have people from Changping Hou Mansion come here?"
There is a reason why the eldest gentleman asked this. The prince of Xiaoyao should have been confined to the mansion and was not allowed to leave for half a step. This is what the prince means. However, today is the birthday of Changping Hou. It is Xiaoyao's elder brother and the uncle of the prince. It is not appropriate not to go. At this time, the birthday has not officially begun. If the prince has an accident, he is also in Changping Hou's mansion.
"Not yet."
The eldest gentleman's heart sank, yes, when something happened to the prince, the servants in the mansion immediately spread the news. The servant looked at him and probably someone had been in the mansion for a long time. Although he was just working in the foreign government, he didn't need any people from the inner government to spread rumors.
I followed the Marquis to guard the southern border. How did Mr. II manage the personnel and affairs of the mansion? I made such an omission!
