It’s meaningless to go back to the source of what has already happened, and the little old man’s idle moans are meaningless. What’s meaningful now is...
"How many people do you owe?"
Little old man: "..."
It's really not a good thing for my apprentice to be too smart.
He pointed at his fingers and said weakly, not daring to look at his apprentice: "Yeah, it's not a lot. In total, I probably owe this amount."
He held out two fingers.
Qi Baoer's forehead twitched, "High-grade?"
"No, not all of them are top grade."
If it weren't for the fact that there was a constant dispute between them...
"I see."
At this time, the man in black in the room below had finished his report and was leaving. King Feng had no interest in flirting with the beautiful boy anymore and had already summoned his subordinates to come in and start making arrangements.
By the way, this scene is actually quite funny now. How does Feng Wang deal with the Xian Prince of Qilin Kingdom in the house, and the damn Prince Xian of Qilin Kingdom is sitting on her roof and listening openly.
-
Night, Beijing.
There was silence in Prince Xian's Mansion. The palace lanterns in the gardens were swaying in the cold wind, and the light cast by the surrounding scenery seemed a bit strange. If you were timid and passed by, you would have mistaken it for a quick glance.
What monsters are those shadows.
In recent years, there are many masters above who don't care much about the affairs of the house, so the housekeepers will be very busy at this time.
It was the same today. Butler Qi was going to check the accounts in the main warehouse of the mansion with Eunuch Lin. When he didn't pay attention, it was already late at night when he came out of the warehouse.
Seeing that Eunuch Lin's face was a little pale, Butler Qi kindly reminded him: "There are a lot of things going on recently. Eunuch Lin needs to take care of himself. Money is something that you will not take with you until you die. We should eat and spend it.
With."
Their prince can be said to be the best master in the capital. Whose servants can spend their own money to buy tonics from the treasury to maintain their health? Only their prince Xian can.
It's so expensive that servants like them can't afford it, but they can still get by with a few taels or dozens of taels.
Eunuch Lin smiled and thanked Butler Qi. He knew that Butler Qi asked him to go to the warehouse to exchange for some tonics to nourish himself without giving up the money. He had no other intention.
"I have accumulated great virtues in my previous life before I met our prince in this life. The prince knew that I was in poor health, so he would give me some nourishing food from time to time. It is because of my poor health that I wasted the good things that the prince gave me.
.”
Both of them are capable people around Qi Bao'er. Qi Bao'er has always appreciated Eunuch Lin's housekeeper Qi, so housekeeper Qi will not be jealous when Eunuch Lin says this. Instead, he has the same feelings towards his master as Eunuch Lin.
I am extremely grateful.
[Don’t look at the novels that say that a master who is kind to his subordinates will easily be betrayed. In the era of imperial power, the word loyalty and righteousness were engraved in the bones from childhood. This is why in history, there is always a person who is unfaithful and unjust.
The reason why people are "famous throughout history" is because it is so strange.
Of course, the next word "roy" is very important, and you need to be a master with a certain degree of control, otherwise raising people's hearts will only take a matter of minutes.】
Praying to the housekeeper, he tightened his cloak and said, "Don't worry about it these days. The prince's private treasury still needs your attention. In the next few days, various villagers will come to the house to reconcile the accounts. Then what will be the balance?"
There’s no time to spare.”
Eunuch Lin still smiled and said: "Don't worry, my body and bones can still last a few more years."
Butler Qi also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He was about to say something, but before he could say anything, a white light suddenly flashed.
With a sharp look in his eyes, Butler Qi quickly grabbed Eunuch Lin, lifted him off the ground and quickly retreated.
Just as he was carrying Eunuch Lin away, there was a "crack" sound. On the corridor column on the left side of where Eunuch Lin was originally, a hidden weapon was sunk into the column and only about half an inch remained outside. The exposed hidden weapon was still there.
Shaking slightly.
Butler Qi kept his feet on his feet. He only glanced at the hidden weapon and then turned to the direction from which the hidden weapon came. At the same time, he yelled: "There's an assassin coming."
Eunuch Lin originally had some skills, but his body was already riddled with holes in the palace, so he knew that he couldn't do anything at this time, so he was quietly carried upside down by Butler Qi.
Inside Prince Xian's Mansion, everything looks empty and quiet, but in fact, there are people hiding everywhere.
Even faster than Butler Qi's shout, the people in the darkness had already come out to meet the enemy. In the blink of an eye, there were not many people visible, but the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from all directions.
After praying to the housekeeper to put Eunuch Lin in a safe place, he hurried to Shoukangyuan.
Fortunately, there are no assassins in Shoukangyuan, or to be precise, the assassins were captured by people in the dark before they had time to take action.
When Butler Qi arrived, the secret guards had already captured the two of them alive, and there were several black-clothed and masked corpses on the ground that looked like assassins.
Butler Qi walked up to one of the secret guards escorting the assassin. After looking up for a long time, he really couldn't recognize that this person was Qi Ji.
He asked directly: "But who knows who these are?"
Qi Qi, who was also covered in black and had only one pair of eyes exposed, said: "None of these people have any markings on their bodies."
I hope the housekeeper is a little disappointed.
It seems that this mansion has never been truly stable since it was built. When the Great Xian King was the master of the mansion, people from the Wuying Army said that they were the same as they are now, with a small group of assassins in three days and five assassins in five days.
There are a lot of assassins in the sky.
But the other person was someone else, and Butler Qi only felt sorry for his master; he hoped that some time the assassin could be found out about the person behind it, the prince would take action to deal with it and deter those insidious individuals.
Unfortunately, no one is a fool. The kind of fools who wear tokens or have words engraved on their bodies can only be found in short story books.
At this time, Qi Wu, who was escorting another assassin, said carelessly: "The master behind these people doesn't seem to be very smart."
He forcefully pulled the assassin's hair and lifted his head, exposing his face to Butler Qi's eyes.
Praying to the housekeeper: "..."
Okay, he understood why the secret guard said that the masters behind these assassins were not smart.
This assassin doesn't look like he's from the Qilin Kingdom. His facial features are more like those from the Suzaku Kingdom.
[The appearance of the Qilin people is exactly the same as that of the Chinese people in Qi Baoer's previous life, so when she came to this world, at least she adapted quickly to the appearance of the people around her, and she didn't feel like she was abroad.
The appearance of the people of the Suzaku country is biased toward the West, but their bodies are not as tall as the West, but rather slender and petite, but their facial features and skin are almost the same.]
As for the assassin in front of them, although his face was covered in blood and their facial features could hardly be seen clearly, his skin color did not look like that of a normal person in their eyes, and they could tell who he was at a glance.
Thinking about Suzaku's current situation and the recent relationship with their prince, as for the fact that the other party wanted to send an assassin to make such a move, the answer of the person behind it seemed to be ready to come out.
