Chapter 111: New Home
In the sea of books in Langyuan, Xiaoyao Hou was lying quietly on his chair. Above his head, there seemed to be a scorching air flow in the air. In fact, it was a sign of distortion of space.
In the twisted space, complex illusions appeared as fast as lightning, as if they were falling in the sky. Xiaoyaohou's face was no longer as solemn as before, and it seemed quite relaxed. Opposite him were Ju Yueshan, Gu Junshan, and Lin Hengshan.
The three of them seemed much more relaxed now. Xiaoyao Hou had just passed a small disaster and finally had some confidence in controlling his own strength. Even if he was only separated by a table, the three of them would no longer feel as cold as they were before.
"The three flowers gathering disaster was defeated by me in the opposite direction, but in this way, I can't go out to meet people, otherwise anyone who sees me will find problems. Recently, I will ask Your Majesty for a vacation, which is about three months to stabilize my current state. Don't invite outsiders to Jing'er's coming-of-age ceremony."
"Yes, lord." Ju Yueshan agreed. Originally, at least a few thousand people would come to congratulate Su Jing's coming-of-age ceremony. Now, Xiaoyao Hou's words have caused great losses. Every guest will have a gift, and it will not be lighter.
"Junshan, don't worry about the affairs in the mansion from today. Leave them all to Yueshan. I want you to go to Bingzhou and recruit new recruits."
"Master, who will I recruit for?" The second housekeeper was a little confused.
"For Su Jian. Jing'er has already discussed with Su Mu. Although they don't have much money in their hands, with my secret support, a large camp can still get it. I want you to recruit at least 8,000 people for Su Jian, you can train yourself and get a number on the spot. The Cardinal will give you approval documents. If it goes well, the recruitment limit can be doubled."
"Master, when will I leave?"
"After handing over to Yueshan, you can set off."
"yes."
"Hengshan, you were the most suitable for recruiting troops. However, because of my order, you offended Qingyang Dao Palace. I don't want to worry about you going out alone."
"Marty, my affairs are the most troublesome, right?"
"Yes. Your Majesty sent someone over and said that he wanted to marry Princess Wuyou to Jing'er. I could only agree to this matter. However, I also heard about some things that happened in the Prince's Mansion of Wuwei County. It is not a good thing for me to marry Princess Wuyou, but some people are probably going crazy."
"You want me to protect the prince?" Lin Hengshan asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Yes, unless Su Jing never shows up again, before getting married, there will be people who will continue to provoke him. They dare not kill people, but they dare to hurt people. The same is true for your counterattack."
"Can't you kill someone?" Lin Hengshan frowned.
"If you are outside the city, you will like it as much as you like." Xiaoyao Hou replied.
"What if the target is the royal family?"
"The royal family, without the imperial edict in hand, will not leave the capital."
"I understand." Lin Hengshan nodded and asked: "Mr. Marquis, I'm not enough."
"I will transfer people to you at the border of the Northern Territory. You can do whatever you want, even if it is the main general there and the golden elixir Qi Refiner."
"You don't have to follow him, just take care of him secretly. After his wedding, I have something to do for you, and I don't need to do this all the time." Xiaoyao Hou comforted Lin Hengshan.
"Marty, the prince is also my student, so it's time to take care of him." Lin Hengshan replied. He really didn't mind what to do. He was happier if he could do this bodyguard job with peace of mind.
If you want to form a white tiger fetus, in addition to practicing, military strategists also need to verify with some strong people. If the person who harasses Su Jing is strong enough, it will not be of no benefit to him.
"Well, after this matter is over, you still have to go back to the army. In the past two years, you will teach all the ones that can be taught to Su Jing. When you go back, some legions should have already gone to Liulong Snow Mountain in the future. The border troops will not move soon. The first batch of people who go there are basically private troops."
"I understand, Marquis, I will summon all the reliable people here, and after living in the Marquis' Mansion for two years, I will go back to rebuild the Northern Region Legion."
"Just understand. I will expand the legion of the Northern Territory border, break up and reorganize. There will be at least three generals who will be one of them at that time. You can recommend one to me among the other two. Well, Your Majesty will arrange one, and you will get along well with him."
Lin Hengshan smiled, Xiaoyao Hou is good. He will not talk hidingly. He will say anything to you clearly.
General is already the second only to the General. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Grand Sima to grant such a position directly. Xiaoyao Hou has the confidence to give it to two at one time. In other words, the relationship between him and the emperor is closer than most people imagine.
"Okay, you guys go and do it." Xiaoyaohou rubbed his eyebrows and asked Lin Hengshan and others to go down. He leaned on the chair and completely relaxed his body. Above his head, countless broken petals formed a flower rain, flashing and disappearing. It seemed that there was a space fracture layer above Xiaoyaohou's head, and the flower rain from another world would fly by in this world.
Su Xue was really missing, and she was extremely bizarre. This incident alarmed the emperor and sent countless powerful Jindan men to investigate and search, but even the clues left by Su Xue gradually blurred and could no longer be traced.
I don’t know when there were many more people and monsters in the Hou Mansion. It turned out that although there were many people in the Hou Mansion, the mansion was too big and looked extremely deserted. However, the number of people from Leishan, Yizhou, and Bingzhou was a bit large, which at least made the Hou Mansion a little angry in the place besides the garden.
Su Jing was increasingly worried about Su Xue's affairs because this kind of thing was too abnormal. But he was powerless. Bai Lu was inquiring about the news. The only clue was that someone once told Bai Lu that he had seen something, but before he could say it, he suddenly died.
Nothing was found from this dead man. I only knew that the cause of death was aging. The way to death was not found.
There is a force in Yujing City that has grown extremely powerfully. This is not only Su Jing who is worried about this matter. The emperor's side is probably the one who should worry the most.
There was good news from Su Mu. Princess Wuyou proposed that she was willing to invest and support her and Su Jing to form a private army. This was a big deal. Princess Wuyou was no better than his prince. She was the only princess in the empire. She had a high title and a high salary. In addition to the frequent rewards from His Majesty, she was very rich.
Another good news is the coming-of-age ceremony, which would have been a very hard and chaotic thing. Under the order of Xiaoyao Hou, he no longer received foreign guests. It was just the Su family and the Yuan family, and the emperor would send a representative to congratulate him.
Things that had to be troubled for several days can now be handled in one day. Su Jing's personality does not like to waste time on such things.
So in addition to practicing, Su Jing now only designs drawings every day. When he is tired, he goes to Su Mu to talk about private army construction and some of his ideas on weapon design.
Su Jing likes such days very much. I really hope to grow older, but no matter how naive a person is, he will eventually become an adult.
Su Jing remembered a poem he once wrote - as soon as the flowers bloom, a young man would die, year after year...
At that time, I didn’t know what sadness was, so I wrote such sentences. The death of every boy is exchanged for Nirvana and rebirth, and a mature youth will replace the original boy.
Those romantic, almost luxurious dreams are about to end.
People from the Su family who came from Yizhou were actually rebuilding the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion covers a large area and has few buildings, so there are countless spaces that can be renovated.
The entire Marquis Mansion is in an irregular shape. After the transformation, after the main gate, there are Yingxian Palace, Hulien Hall, and Zhuquetai. Among them, Yingxian Palace is prepared for His Majesty the Emperor. If the emperor comes to the Marquis Mansion, he must enter from the main gate and go directly to Yingxian Palace. The building complex behind Yingxian Palace is for the emperor to settle down.
Originally, the Hou Mansion did not have such special facilities, but the emperor had already given the marriage. After Xiaoyao Hou agreed, there would definitely be a grand ceremony. Therefore, these new buildings were added.
Hulitang was used by Xiaoyao Hou when sending troops. There was a schoolyard behind it, but it was not big, but it could accommodate thousands of soldiers.
The Zhuquetai is a Taoist building newly rewarded by the emperor. In addition to climbing high places and practicing Dharma, it also has the power to borrow the power of the entire Yujing City Formation. With this Zhuquetai, if there are any powerful golden elixirs coming to cause trouble, Xiaoyao Hou can use the formation to activate the Yujing City Formation and make it powder.
Like the imperial palace, the Marquis' Mansion also faces south and north. This gate does not look like the Confucian rule. However, people with status must also be able to build a house like this. If there is no status, the building will definitely change its direction, at least it must be deviated from a few angles.
The subordinates of Xiaoyao Hou, namely the officials, ministers and guest officials of the Hou’s Mansion, were all concentrated in the west. The family members of the Hou’s Mansion were all in the east and the garden was on the north.
After the reconstruction, the pavilions and towers were connected into pieces, surrounding the thirteen-story tall buildings in Langyuan’s Sea of Books, extending outwards. With more tall buildings, some air-filled bridges also appeared, with terrifying lengths, like highways, with carriages on them.
The most important thing is that the inner house of the Hou Mansion has moved. Su Jing also has to move with him. In this way, Lin Hengshan is not suitable for living in the inner house. He is not a slave and cannot be like the second housekeeper of the Great butler.
Su Jing was moved to the north of the small lake where Su Mu lived. There was a Linglong stone more than 30 meters high. Relying on the Linglong stone, Xiaoyao Hou built a courtyard for Su Jing. There were only three inside and outside, which was much larger than the original place.
Moreover, this new residence was named - Wenxinju.
On the left side, there is a strange bamboo forest with a variety of varieties, with hundreds of bamboos growing densely. On the other side of the bamboo forest is a vast medicinal garden, where the more important medicinal materials in the Hou Mansion are planted.
From hundreds of caves on Linglong Stone, the springs flowing out into a river and flow into the medicine garden. Although this river is not wide, it has reached the level of being able to raft.
After passing through the medicine garden, this river passed through a rocky shallow, which was the residence of Mrs. Xiaoyao Hou.
Su Jing stood on the Linglong stone and looked around, feeling sad. He couldn't live in such a good place for a long time. If he married Princess Wuyou, the emperor would give him another residence.
