I have to sigh with emotion, the fate of this world is indeed so wonderful.
I recall the first time I met Zhuge. This sturdy man with a huge back and strong waist was galloping on the spot on a wooden horse rocking chair with great momentum and heroic posture.
At that time, when he turned around, Xu Heng was shocked by his big face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Now, I didn't expect to see this person again.
But the feeling is obviously different.
At this moment, Zhuge's physique remained unchanged and he was still majestic, but his temperament had a more powerful and domineering look. It was an aura that could only come from being in a high position after being tempered and killed for a long time.
"Sir, the people who committed the murder just now were a man and a woman. These two people should be..." At this time, a man next to Zhuge stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.
Snapped!
Zhu Ge suddenly slapped the man back and said in a cold voice: "You bastard, it's your turn to point fingers while I'm investigating the case? Open your eyes and see clearly. This person is my sworn sixth brother and the commander.
My sixth brother, do you think he will be the perpetrator?"
Upon hearing this, dozens of guards in golden uniforms outside the door immediately opened their eyes wide and looked at Xu Heng with awe on their faces.
Li Wanqian was also frightened and looked at Xu Heng in astonishment.
How many things has this guy done since he came in? How come he has become a brother?
Xu Heng was also very confused and surprised at the moment.
Commander?
The amount of information revealed in Zhuge's words is huge.
The first eldest of the fourteen smart young men, the kid with the candied haws, is now the commander of the Jin Yiwei?
What on earth have they experienced in the past six months to develop so smoothly.
"Fifth brother, who is the perpetrator? Did something happen?"
Xu Heng immediately stepped forward, with a puzzled look on his face, and changed his title smoothly.
Zhu Ge ranked fifth among the fourteen smart young men. Although Xu Heng was unwilling to admit that he was one of them at first, but now that he is called the sixth brother, he must call him "Fifth Brother".
"It's okay. We received a report saying that someone was plotting against Yihong Pavilion, but now it seems that we have received false information."
Zhuge waved his hand, looked at Mother Su thoughtfully, and asked, "Mother Su, what are you talking about?"
"What? Someone is plotting against Yihong Pavilion? Why didn't I know?" Su's mother was very surprised and confused.
"That's a misunderstanding. Someone just reported a false case. Everything just now must be a falsehood. Someone tried to confuse us and frame my sixth brother. Now the truth has come out." Zhu Ge directly characterized the matter in a few words and changed
There was no murder.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"A wonderful plan!"
“Finding cases like a god!”
The group of royal guards nodded and flattered Zhuge, and no one had any objections.
Even the deputy who was slapped for reminding Zhuge at the beginning said categorically: "I have told you long ago that this brother of Lord Zhuge is a talented person and full of righteousness. It is absolutely impossible to commit murder."
"Lao Liu, I haven't heard from you since the last time we said goodbye. This time we two brothers have to sit down and have a drink and have a good chat." At this time, Zhuge also waved to Xu Heng.
Xu Heng also noticed a detail. The door of Yihong Pavilion was opened, and a group of royal guards led by Zhu Ge did not even step in from the beginning to the end.
Now Zhu Ge seems to have other intentions, suggesting that he went out probably because this place is not simple.
"Okay, fifth brother."
Xu Heng immediately smiled and nodded, and introduced Li Wanqian by the way: "This is my friend."
"Brother and sister!" Zhu Ge immediately raised his hand to Li Wanqian.
Li Wanqian: "..."
Xu Heng's mouth twitched: "Fifth brother, we are just friends!"
"It's okay, first we are friends, then we are sisters, and in the end we have to hold each other to sleep." Zhu Ge waved his hands carelessly and winked at Xu Heng: "Tonight, I will find a place for you two to sleep. Tomorrow we will be brothers and sisters.
.”
"Fifth brother, who do you think I am? I, Xu Heng, am not the kind of casual person!" Xu Heng immediately said with a serious face.
Zhu Ge was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Haha, okay, let's drop this matter, let's go, and go drink quickly!"
Only then did Xu Heng follow him and walked directly out of Yihong Pavilion.
Li Wanqian followed closely behind, with a strange look on her face.
She really couldn't figure out how Xu Heng managed to make people here be so polite and friendly to him.
On the other hand, when she and Hu Manman came in, they were not treated as human beings at all. They were sent out coldly like commodities for others to choose from. If they resisted like Zhou Chong did, they would be beaten severely in the end.
After such a comparison, she felt that Xu Heng was even more powerful than she imagined.
Not only is his strength powerful, but his wisdom and strategy also seem to be extraordinary.
…
Not long after, the group of people was walking on the street again.
Zhu Ge waved his hand to order all the dozens of Jin Yiwei subordinates to retreat. He looked at Xu Heng with a solemn expression and whispered: "Sixth, come with me."
Xu Heng understood that he had something to talk about alone, so he winked at Li Wanqian and motioned her to wait where she was for a while.
Then he followed Zhuge and walked into a dark alley on the side of the street.
"Lao Liu, what's the matter with you? You disappeared for so long, and now you suddenly appear in Guangling City, and you even entered the Yihong Pavilion. How dare you enter such an evil place?" Zhu Ge frowned and said calmly.
asked in a voice.
"Fifth brother, my matter is a long story, and I have some small things to do when I come to Yihong Pavilion."
Xu Heng responded casually and raised his eyebrows: "But... why is Yihong Pavilion evil?"
"Why don't you know about the evil sect?" Zhuge glared: "You are still pretending, do you really think I don't know that you were the one who committed the murder outside just now?"
"Uh..." Xu Heng's expression froze, and then he said with a smile: "Hey, fifth brother is really smart, I can't hide anything from fifth brother!"
"It's good to know. And you just saw that Mother Su can't be killed. She's very evil." Zhuge replied in a deep voice.
Xu Heng was speechless for a moment. How can you, a ghost, tell me, a living person, that another ghost is evil?
Is this true?
"Fifth brother, why can't she be killed?" Xu Heng asked.
"Nonsense, there's no need to ask, of course Yihong Pavilion is haunted!" Zhu Ge said angrily.
"???"
Xu Heng looked confused, what nonsense are you talking about?
Seeing him like this, Zhu Ge thought he was scared and continued: "You don't have to be too afraid. Although that place is haunted, there are important people sitting there. And I also heard that they actually specialize in raising ghosts and providing food for them.
Those rich and powerful have fun."
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Heng pretended to be surprised.
But I was also confused inside. What nonsense was this Zhu Ge saying?
"Anyway, you'd better not go in. I'll find a place for you to live for a while. I'll be promoted in a while, and then I'll take you to the capital to find my elder brother."
Zhuge patted Xu Heng on the shoulder and continued: "Eldest brother told me before that you are not the same as us, but we are able to achieve today's achievements all because of you, so eldest brother still regards you as a brother
of."
"Fifth brother, I..." Xu Heng immediately acted like he was about to speak but hesitated, as if he had something to hide.
"No need to say more, no need to explain, everyone has their own secrets, Fifth Brother understands you." Zhuge interrupted immediately.
"Oh! Thank you fifth brother for understanding."
Xu Heng's face was filled with emotion, and then he sighed and said lonelyly: "Actually, when I entered Yihong Pavilion this time, I was asked to help bring something to the designated location."
"Oh? What's so difficult about this?" Zhuge asked curiously.
"The difficulty is that I don't know where the designated location is, but Yihong Pavilion doesn't allow you to move around at will, so I keep wandering on the first floor, unable to find the location." Xu Heng said sadly.
"Haha, what do I think? Sixth, I haven't seen you for so many days, why have you become stupid?" Zhuge laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "If you just want to travel freely in Yihong Pavilion, that's too easy."
"Does Fifth Brother have any good ideas?" Xu Heng raised his eyebrows.
"It's not really a good solution. After all, it's just a small matter that can be solved with an identity tag." Zhu Ge waved his hand, took out an identity tag and handed it to Xu Heng.
Xu Heng was startled. This was a copper token with the word "Jinyi" engraved on the front and the two small characters "Qianhu" below.
"That place is too evil, so I won't go in with you, but this ID badge is enough for you to be qualified to walk around there casually. As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, Yihong Pavilion won't dare to mess with you," Zhu Ge said.
.
"Fifth brother, this..." Xu Heng was already a little confused about what to say.
Zhuge is a person worth getting to know, and he can really help me with anything.
Borrowing such a Thousand Household Token is very loyal.
"It's okay. Anyway, I will be promoted to the town governor soon. You will be in charge of these thousands of households for the time being. Just tell me when the time comes. He will definitely agree." Zhuge said disapprovingly.
"Ah... is this so careless?" Xu Heng was a little dumbfounded.
Can this official position be handed over at will?
Give it as you say?
"What's so rash? This was obtained by my eldest brother. The eldest brother alone can have the final say in our Jinyiwei's official positions. Of course, this means that the money will not go to outsiders. Only our old brothers are qualified to hold these important positions."
He said with a straight face.
Later, Zhuge also briefly introduced Xu Heng.
The eldest brother is now the boss of all the Jinyi Guards, the commander-in-chief, and has a third-rank official title. He is extremely powerful in the capital. It can be said that he is less than one person and more than ten thousand people!
The Jinyiwei has many responsibilities, including directing the guards, conducting patrols and arrests, and also participating in collecting military intelligence, instigating rebellion against enemy generals, etc., and the entire Jinyiwei is loyal only to the emperor.
After hearing this, Xu Heng finally understood how amazingly powerful the fourteenth young master was now!
In just half a year, they have undergone such earth-shaking changes.
It’s so inspiring!
You must know that half a year ago, they were just a group of fools in the city, being bullied and looked down upon by their neighbors every day.
It wasn't until he sold the door god to them that they gradually gained wisdom, and now, they actually control such a powerful force.
What an inspiring story!
Are they able to achieve what they have today because they work hard enough, are diligent enough, and are strong enough?
No, it all depends on me, Xu Heng!
"By the way, Sixth, there is one more thing you need to know. Our eldest brother is the emperor's illegitimate son." Zhuge added.
