The atmosphere in the hall became weird. You didn't speak, and I didn't speak either. My eyes lingered between the dead guard and Xu Da.
This reaction was completely different from what Xu Da expected.
From the moment he took action, he was already prepared for either your death or mine. Unexpectedly, no guard came in to arrest him.
This is... puzzling!
Xu Da stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his hands. He glanced lightly and pointed at himself. The prefect Yuan Song, whose lips were trembling but he was hesitant to speak, decided to build a step for himself.
"Ahem!" He put his hand into a fist on his lips and coughed twice. Seeing Yuan Song look over, he smiled awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, my life is at stake, so I was too harsh. I really didn't mean to offend you, and I hope you can forgive me."
The boss reacted the fastest and immediately had the dead guard carried out and replaced with a brand new blanket, as if nothing just happened had ever happened.
Yuan Song also came to his senses. He had originally intended to recruit, but he had doubts about Xu Da's identity, so he tried again and again.
But now I saw that not only did he not care about the guards drawing their swords, but he also showed humility and obedience. With a wave of his hand, the maids and servants filed out, brought in a table and cushions, served them with drinks and food, and put on a good posture, planning to have a good time with Xu Da.
Let’s talk about salary issues.
The two of them sat down separately, as if they had just met for the first time. You laughed and I laughed, but they couldn't detect each other's true thoughts. After some testing, Yuan Song also noticed Xu Da's rejection, and his expression changed slightly.
Xu Da raised the wine glass in front of him and toasted with a smile, but he was sneering in his heart.
In the current situation, his refusal seemed a bit disrespectful in the eyes of outsiders, but he had already seen through the prefect in front of him, and following such a suspicious and severe patient would be to tuck his head in his belt.
Not to mention doing a career, just doing daily things, if something doesn't go as he wants, "fatal" accidents like today will probably become a common occurrence.
Don't doubt people, don't doubt people. Xu Da thought that even if he had to condescend to serve, he should be a wise master, not a mediocre person like Yuan Song who relied on the influence of his ancestors!
"Come here, pour some wine for Mr. Xu!"
Seeing that Xu's wine glass was empty, Yuan Song gave instructions to the maid waiting next to him.
The maid came forward, with a beautiful face, a little makeup, low eyebrows, and a long, swan-like snow-white neck that was slightly bent. She picked up the exquisite white porcelain wine pot, raised her orchid fingers, and poured wine for Xu Da.
If there is a seemingly non-existent aroma that hits your face, and there is another sweet voice, "Xu Gong please~", the bones will be half crispy.
Xu Dayi raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the wine glass. He subconsciously wanted to say something flirty, but his sharp eyes suddenly flashed in his mind as he drew a bow and arrow. He was suddenly excited, and the words "beauty" that he was about to blurt out suddenly got stuck.
In my throat, I could only watch the maid fluttering her long sleeves and leaving.
Gan!
Xu Da picked up the wine glass and raised his head, preparing to drink to make people brave. Suddenly, the tip of his nose smelled a wisp of cool air mixed with the fragrance of the beauty, and the hand holding the wine immediately stopped.
This glass of wine is poisonous!
Yuan Song almost immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a frank solicitation, "Mr. Xu, please!"
Xu Da secretly cursed: You villain!
The expression on his face suddenly changed, and he screamed "Ouch", and his face immediately turned pale. He hurriedly put down the wine in his hand, stood up with a belly in his arms, looked around and asked anxiously: "Where is the toilet?"
As he asked the question, he seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. He tightened his legs and looked like he could hardly hold it in any longer.
Yuan Song's expression became cold in vain, but when he saw that Xu Da's anxious expression did not seem to be fake, thinking that people have three urgent needs, he became a little more convinced.
While he was hesitating, Xu Da had already caught the clerk and asked for the direction of the toilet, and rushed out like the wind.
The chief clerk and Yuan Song looked at each other, then followed with a few guards.
At this time, the toilet was also called a hun (hun) toilet, and hun also refers to a pig pen. The pig pen plus the structure of the toilet was called a hun toilet.
The toilet is like a small tower, with one and a half floors. The lower half floor is semi-open and is used for raising pigs. The second floor is the latrine. Because of the strong smell, it is usually built in the most remote part of the yard, against the courtyard wall.
.
People shit on top, pigs eat shit below, and the pigs are raised and then killed and eaten. Xu Da feels excited when he thinks about that scene!
The suffocating stench hit his face. Xu Da shook his head hurriedly to get rid of the association of people, shit, and pigs in his mind. He picked up the hem of his clothes and stepped onto the second floor resolutely.
The prefect's mansion was wealthy, and there were more than a dozen pigs in the pigsty at his feet. They were screaming "Lululu" and it was very lively.
Xu Da looked at the cesspool at his feet, which was bigger than the basin, and at the pig faces that looked up eagerly. Hearing the questioning voice from the clerk outside the toilet, he gritted his teeth and jumped down from the hole.
There was no sound after landing, only the sound of the fat pig squealing "Lululu"...
Later, it was recorded in the history of the Xu family that the governor of Hejian brought my ancestor into the mansion in order to recruit him as a guest. However, the governor's character was despicable, so the ancestor resolutely refused to be trapped in the governor's mansion. He suddenly had a sudden idea and escaped under the pretense of urinating in the toilet.
Therefore, Xu Yue, the first head of the family, gave instructions: My father is a very smart person!
...
There was still a chill in the early spring night. There was a charcoal basin burning in the hall, and the wine was boiling in the basin. It was just like the anxiety in the heart of the prefect Yuan Song at this moment.
He looked towards the door for the eleventh time and asked impatiently: "Why haven't you come back yet? Did you fall into the toilet and feed the pigs?"
Just as he was shouting and asking, he saw the chief registrar and several guards running back in a hurry, shouting as they ran:
"My lord, something's wrong, Xu Da is missing!"
Yuan Songteng slapped the table and stood up: "What's going on! How can such a good person disappear!"
The chief clerk was also puzzled. He shook his head and cried blankly: "I don't know. I am personally guarding the toilet outside. There is no way I can let him escape unless...unless he..."
Thinking of a certain way to leave without going through the toilet door, the chief secretary couldn't believe that someone could challenge this limit, and was speechless for a moment.
Yuan Song was also shocked, but before he could go over to take a look in person, another guard rushed in shouting: "Eight hundred miles urgent report!"
Urgent report?
Yuan Song paused, took a look at the secret letter handed over by the guard, and his expression changed drastically!
The master came forward out of curiosity and took a look. The master and servant looked at each other and saw ecstasy in each other's eyes.
Dong Xing, who held the emperor hostage in an attempt to command the world, is dead!
Now there is only a weak little emperor left in the old capital of Luoyang. Whoever can get to Luoyang first will become the next Dong Xing!
"Hurry! Go and prepare the carriages and horses, and go to Luoyang immediately to rescue him!"
Yuan Song shouted loudly, his voice trembling with excitement.
The entire prefect's mansion was busy, with torches lit and lights brightly lit.
Under the temptation of supreme power, Xu Da, a potential "dangerous element", seemed insignificant.
Because of this, Xu Da escaped home smoothly.
He endured the humiliation and sneaked out of the toilet, just to avoid alerting others and give his family enough time to escape.
But he never expected that not one of his family members would be left, and they would all abandon him!
Looking at the dark and deserted courtyard in front of him, Xu Da squatted in front of the already cold stove, hugging himself tightly silently, weak, pitiful, and helpless...
