Chapter 5 The Long Night(1/2)

Just when Rong Xue and the others didn't know what to do, a team of people came to the prefect's mansion, and an eight-carrying sedan chair was very eye-catching.

"The prefect is back. You two stand a little further and don't block the way!"

Rong Xue and the others were bombarded aside.

"Open the door!"

Some of the people went to open the door, and some went to the mansion to inform.

Soon after, a group of subordinates came out of the mansion to welcome the prefect.

The servants who had already prepared the sedan chair lifted up the curtains and helped a tall man in purple robe get out of the sedan chair.

The man had a serious face, was powerful without anger, had dark skin, had a beard under his sleeve, and stood straight. He was about forty years old, and was Gong Yehan, the prefect of Yidu Mansion.

Rong Xue and the other two were intimidated by the prefect's ceremonial guards and hesitated not to come forward.

Gong Yehan walked towards the mansion, and saw Rong Xue and others standing not far away from the corner of his eyes. He turned around and asked the butler: "The two of them looked extraordinary, who are they?"

"Go back to the master, the two of them claimed to be practicing Taoism, and killed the important criminal Duan Chengwu and came to seek merit and reward." The housekeeper bent and walked behind Gong Yehan half a body and replied.

"Oh? It's interesting. Let them in first, and I'll meet them later."

"Yes, Master."

The group walked into the mansion in a mighty manner.

A servant came to Rong Xue and the others and said with a smile: "Two immortal masters, my prefect is welcome, please come with me."

When Rong Xue and the others, who were already disheartened, heard this, they immediately followed the servant through the side door and walked into the prefect's mansion happily.

Before entering the door, Rong Wenhua looked at the door just now with a provocative meaning.

"Hmph, the dog's eyes look down on people!"

But the door just now seemed to have not seen them, standing in front of the door without squinting, without saying a word. After Rong Xue and the others entered the mansion, they naturally said to themselves: "Two stupid people, being attracted to by the prefect may not be a good thing."

Rong Xue and the others were led into a living room in the mansion by the servant.

"The two immortals are waiting here first. The prefect will summon him later. Please do not walk around to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Of course I know this!"

After saying that, the servant left the living room and closed the door casually, without even a cup of tea.

Rong Xue and the others were resting in the hall. Neither of them spoke, but just meditated silently.

I was delayed for a long time outside the door. At this time, the sky was getting dark. The two of them had not yet entered the water for a day and were already hungry.

Another hour passed before a servant pushed the door open.

"Two immortal chiefs, the prefect, please come with me."

It turns out that I didn't meet them here.

The two followed the servants and walked in the prefect's mansion. They said that when they entered the marquis's door, they were as deep as the sea, and the prefect's mansion would not give in too much. If no one led the way, they would not find the way out.

Rong Xue and the others were taken to a study room and finally met the prefect Gong Yehan sitting behind the desk.

"Sir, the two heroes are brought here."

"You're not working here, go down!" said the butler standing behind Gong Yehan.

The servant bowed, bowed his body, and slowly retreated and left.

Rong Wenhua and Xue Qian looked at each other, walked forward together, bowed slightly, and bowed with fists.

"Yun Fang Taoist Rong Wenhua, pay homage to the prefect!"

"Jiu Fang Taoist Xue Qian, pay homage to the prefect!"

"Bold! Don't you kneel down when you see the prefect?" the housekeeper scolded loudly.

When Rong Xue and the others heard this, they looked embarrassed.

Kneel? A monk kneels down to a mortal?

"It's okay, you two are monks, so let's avoid red tape." Gong Yehan said lightly.

Seeing this, Rong Wenhua gritted his teeth, knelt down, and said, "Since I have waited to go down the mountain, I will no longer be a person who is transformed from the outside world. The etiquette of the world should be followed!"

After saying that, he pulled Xue Qian on the side. Seeing that her senior brother had knelt down, Xue Qian also knelt down even though she was a little reluctant.

Seeing this, Gong Yehan smiled last time.

/>"What do you want to see me? I heard that you killed Duan Chengwu and killed the people in the future. Don't worry, I will ask the accountant to take out 500 taels and pay you a bounty."

"My Lord, I hope to serve the court, not to be greedy for these rewards."

"oh?"

"To be honest, I have been practicing Taoism for many years and are proficient in various strange arts. I hope I can serve the court and will definitely do something in the future!"

"That's how it is." Gong Yehan thought about it and said, "Now the court is employed. Since he has such talent, he will listen to the masters in my mansion first and make contributions in the future. I will naturally recommend it to the court. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the two were overjoyed and said, "After all the arrangements of the adults, we are willing to do everything!"

The two were arranged to live in. Although Gong Yehan and Xue Qian already had a husband and wife, they did not get married, so they were arranged to live in separate places. Xue Qian and her female relatives lived in the back house, and Gong Yehan lived in the front yard.

In this way, Rong Xue and the others settled down in the prefect's mansion. Xue Qian usually protects Gong Yehan's family in the back house, and Rong Wenhua guards the house in front, and she never sees each other a day.

Xue Qian spent all day in the back house talking and laughing with the prefect's wife and concubines, and enjoying a life of luxury.

Rong Wenhua patrolled the front yard all day and did nothing. Because of her high self-esteem, it was difficult for her to integrate into the circle of servants in the prefect's house.

A month later, Rong Wenhua could no longer bear this kind of life, so he found Xue Qian and wanted to see the prefect again.

Xue Qian naturally agreed.

The two of them found a time and met Gong Yehan again, but they were still in the study.

"How are you in my mansion recently?"

"Born with the care of the adults, I live without worries in the mansion. It's just that the man is determined by all directions, so I want to ask for a place where I can show my strength."

"Don't be too ambitious, you won't be buried in my mansion. But when you say that, I remember that I will go into the mountains to wipe out Xuanguang Village in a few days..."

"I am willing to go there and ask my elders to help you!" Before Gong Yehan finished speaking, Rong Wenhua hurriedly asked.

"That's good, even if you are the only one! But it's so inconvenient for Xue Qian to join the army as her daughter's family, and the back house also needs someone to protect her, so let her stay."

Xue Qian wanted to object, but Rong Wenhua grabbed her.

"What the lord says is very true, just follow your wishes!"

When the two left the study room, Xue Qian asked reluctantly: "Senior brother, why don't you let me go with you? This way, it's better to have some care."

"It's really inappropriate for a woman to accompany the army. Junior sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. When I make a contribution and get a background, I will marry you. At that time, I will definitely be in a grand manner and let everyone in the world know about it!"

The two of them returned to their respective positions without saying a few thoughtful words.

Xue Qian returned to the back house and came to the house of Gongyehan's beloved concubine Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu is twenty-six years old this year and is very beautiful. Recently, she has been favored by Gongyehan and has come to her for a night almost every night, so she specially arranged for Xue Qian to protect her.

After spending this period of time together, Xue Qian and Xiaoyu have become best friends who can talk about everything.

"Sister Qian is here, sit down and chat with her. She is so bored in this mansion all day long."

Xue Qian walked to the opposite Xiaoyu and sat down.

"Sister Qian is so beautiful, I've surpassed my sister."

Xiaoyu has always joked about Xue Qian like this these days, and she has gotten used to it.

"Sister Xiaoyu is joking again."

"I'm not kidding. Look, although my master doesn't say anything, he must be muttering about his sister in his heart. Otherwise, you will also enter the master's room and serve him with my sister?"

Hearing this, Xue Qian's face turned red and she said shyly: "Sister, you know me. How could I do that? Don't mention this matter again!"

After saying that, he stood up and left the room.

When Xue Qian returned to her residence, she felt a little aggrieved and could only drink some wine to relieve it.

There was a knock on the door.

It's so late, is Sister Xiaoyu coming to apologize to me? Xue Qian thought of this, walked over, opened the door and saw that the one standing outside was Gong Yehan, the prefect of Yidu Mansion.

Gong Yehan was alone, and he was not accompanied by the housekeeper, nor was he wearing official uniforms. He only had a generous casual clothes on his body.

After a month of subtle influence, Xue Qian had already formed a habit. When she saw Gong Yehan, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Xue Qian has met the prefect!"

"Miss Xue, don't be polite, please get up quickly!" Gong Yehan stepped forward and helped.

Originally, Gong Yehan only needed to help her for a moment, and Xue Qian would get up by herself. But today Gong Yehan grabbed Xue Qian's hand and slowly helped her up. This was not the end. After Xue Qian stood up completely, Gong Yehan's hand did not let go.

This behavior is a bit disagreeable. Xue Qian frowned a little and tried to pull her hands back, but she found that Gong Yehan was holding her very tightly and could not get rid of it.

"I heard that Xiaoyu said something to you today shouldn't have said, and I have ordered someone to kill her!"

Gong Yehan spoke with a relaxed tone, but he was talking about the bloody facts.

"How could this be?" Xue Qian said in surprise, just said something that shouldn't have been said and then killed?
