Xu Zhiqiong bought Ren Songde's mansion and didn't choose a date. He asked Chang Decai to clean it briefly and moved in immediately.
Is Ren Songde's mansion big?
Huge! If we go by the standards of Xu Zhiqiong’s previous life, this is not as simple as a mansion.
On the longitudinal axis, from south to north, there are five gates in total. Behind the first gate is the front yard, behind the second gate is the main yard, behind the third gate is the garden, behind the fourth gate is the backyard, and behind the fifth gate is the back garden.
On the horizontal axis, from east to west, there are five gates across the east courtyard, the east courtyard, the main courtyard, the west courtyard, and the west courtyard.
Residences of this size are extremely rare in the capital. On the day of the move, guests and friends from all over came to celebrate, and they all marveled at Xu Zhiqiong's new residence. Even Yu Shan was quite envious.
But Xu Zhiqiong didn't think so.
This mansion is actually not much bigger than Zhonglang Courtyard.
The Zhonglang Courtyard was kept spotless by Chang Decai, but the mansion had been neglected for a long time and actually looked a bit old.
After seeing off Qiao Shungang and all the brothers who were in charge of the lamp office, Xu Zhiqiong invited the last two guests.
The door is closed and wine and food are placed. The table is not big, but they are all delicious food.
There are two guests, one is Chu He and the other is Yang Wu.
When the three of them were in the academy, whenever they could save some money, they would secretly buy some food at the foot of the mountain and make a toothpaste.
The table in the studio is much smaller than this, but the food was delicious at that time, and it has been like this for ten years.
Today, Chu He's food is still delicious, but Yang Wu can't eat a bite.
On the night when Xu Zhiqiong was besieged by Xiao Songting and Bi Wusheng, Yang Wu found Chu He and was beaten half to death by Chu He.
No matter how Yang Wu explained it, Chu He didn't believe that he was Yang Wu.
But no matter how many beatings Yang Wu received, there was only one sentence in his mouth: "Save Zhiqiong!"
In the end, Chu He believed this and panicked, telling Qiao Shungang that something happened to Zhiqiong in the north of the city. He saw it with his own eyes. Qiao Shungang then brought the lantern man with him and saved Xu Zhiqiong's life.
Chu He and Xu Zhiqiong had a few drinks. Yang Wu also raised his glass to show off. Chu He wiped his mouth and said, "Brother, I don't know whether I should ask this, are you a human or a ghost now?"
Hearing this, Yang Wu lowered his head and felt uncomfortable.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "What's so uncomfortable about this? No matter whether he is a human or a ghost, Lao Chu is eating at the same table as us. Isn't this true love?"
Hearing this, Yang Wu also felt relieved: "To tell you the truth, I am a ghost."
Chu He burped, but he wasn't afraid at all. He would not be afraid of Yang Wu at any time: "It's been so many days, why haven't you reincarnated yet?"
Yang Wu smiled and said: "I can't bear to part with you. There are still many things that have not been done in this life."
"How did you return to the Yangshi?"
Yang Wu looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "You have to ask him about this."
Chu He must have asked about this, and Xu Zhiqiong had already been prepared.
"Didn't I practice Yin and Yang at the same time..."
Chu He was surprised and said: "Onmyoji can make the Yin soul return to Yang?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Returning Yang is not possible for the time being. This is not my ability. Because I also practice Yin and Yang, I have a good relationship with the Yin and Yang Division. I finally asked Taibu to help me and allowed Yang Wu to stay in Yangshi.
You must not tell others about this, otherwise Yang Wu’s soul will not be retained.”
Xu Zhiqiong still has confidence in Chu He. So far, no one in Zhangdeng Yamen knows that Chu He has met Yang Wu.
Chu He drank a bowl of wine and said, "Don't worry about this. Back in the yamen, you were always supporting Niu Yuxian, but you looked down on me. I'm still not convinced.
Now I understand that I was ignorant at that time, and everything I should and shouldn’t say was nonsense. Now that I am sensible, I won’t tell anyone about Xiao Wu.”
After eating a few more drinks, Xu Zhiqiong asked Chu He: "What are your plans for the future?"
"What else can I plan to do? Let's go to the north to fight!"
Yang Wudao: "You have already been promoted to Qingdeng, and you are still fighting?"
Chu He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be rude to me. Zhi Qiong is already a Marquis. How can I be considered a bird just because I'm a Green Lantern Man?"
I finally understand. If I stay in Zhangdeng Yamen all my life, I will be able to have a seventh-grade cultivation level and be a green lantern man.
And relying on Zhiqiong's support, I may be able to live in a thousand households in the future, and eventually I will be able to have the status of Yi Xulu. Even if my ancestral graves are smoking,
If you want to have a great future, you have to risk your life on the battlefield. With my body, if I fight in two more battles, I might be able to advance to the seventh rank.
Wu Shanxing and I have agreed that we will return with the army in two days. Brother Wang Zhennan will be taking care of us in the north, so I cannot suffer any loss."
Yang Wu smacked his lips and said, "But in war, your life always hangs on the edge of the knife!"
Chu He said with a smile: "My miserable life will be the same no matter where I am. Brother, don't you plan to go home and take a look? Your sister is married, and the old couple is quite lonely at home."
Yang Wu sighed and said: "How can I go back? What if I scare the old man again? Forget it, let's wait for a while."
After eating and drinking, Chu He went home. Xu Zhiqiong was a little tired and fell asleep in the new house.
Yang Wu didn't need to sleep. He walked around the house twice alone and felt bored. He wanted to go back to Zhonglang Courtyard and talk to Lao Chang, but Lao Chang had been busy applying makeup and powder these days and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
That's all, let's go for a walk in the city, and treat it as a night patrol.
Yang Wuqi put on a gauze hat, lowered the hat, covered his face as much as possible, and wandered along the streets in the south of the city.
When I walked to the Wa Market, I wanted to go to Goulan to listen to a show, but I saw a familiar figure next to the drink stall.
This figure made Yang Wu's body tremble several times, and his soul almost lost its balance!
is her?
I read it wrong?
impossible!
Even if Yang Wu mistakenly identified his own father, it was impossible for him to identify this woman wrongly.
A young woman is greeting customers at a drink stall.
Can I go see her?
How can I see her like this?
Yang Wu hesitated for a long time, but couldn't hold it in any longer, so he stepped forward and said hello:
"Junior sister Han."
Han Di turned around and was shocked when he saw Yang Wu.
After being stunned for a moment, Han Di's cheeks trembled and tears fell.
"Senior Brother Yang, did I read that correctly?"
Yang Wu nodded.
"Senior Brother Yang, it's really you, you're still alive!"
Yang Wu lowered his palm and signaled Han Di to keep his voice down.
Han Di quickly pulled Yang Wu aside, found a corner to sit down, held Yang Wu's hands, and touched Yang Wu's cheek.
Yang Wu was afraid that his cheeks would be too cold, and he was frightened and at a loss.
"Alive, indeed alive!" Han Di burst into tears: "Brother Yang, that day, that night, I was, I was in Wu Ziqing's mansion, I, I suddenly bumped into you, I really didn't know what to do.
,Senior brother, I really didn’t want to harm you, I was..."
Yang Wu shook his head and said: "That's it, junior sister, there's no need to say anything more, everything is over."
"These days, I cry when I think of you, but my heart hurts like a knife. Senior brother, I don't dare to ask you to forgive me. You can hit me, scold me, or kill me. I can still see you."
As long as you are alive, you will be satisfied.”
Yang Wu wiped Han Di's tears: "Junior sister, don't cry, I'm still alive. That night, I crawled out of the fire and wasn't hurt much."
"But they all said..."
"Afterwards, it was Zhiqiong who told me to fake my death and change my identity so that I could return to the lantern yamen. Later, I really went back and still worked as a lantern holder. This is not a night patrol!"
"Seriously?"
Yang Wu smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Han Di wiped away his tears, showed a smile and said: "As long as senior brother has a good life, let me die now, and I won't even blink an eye!"
Yang Wu quickly shook his head and said: "Good junior sister, don't say the word "death" again. Senior brother feels distressed after hearing this. Why did you start such a small business here?"
Han Di sighed: "It's because I'm ignorant. I left the academy for more than a year, but I did too many wrong things. It's my own fault that I'm where I am today."
Yang Wu shook his head and said: "Junior sister, please don't say that. I'll go back and beg Zhiqiong. He is now the Marquis, a man with powerful eyes and hands. As long as he says a word, you can still return to Qingyi Pavilion."
Han Di lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother, don't comfort me. I know all the evil I have done. It's good to have such a job. I can earn a little, not too much, not too little, just make ends meet."
In the distance, the waiter at the drink stall was shouting: "Here comes another customer!"
Han Di smiled at Yang Wu: "Business is a bit busier tonight."
"Go quickly," Yang Wu smiled, "I should go on night patrol too."
"Brother, please wait for me." Han Di trotted back to the stall, took out a silk handkerchief, and packed some refreshments for Yang Wu.
"Senior brother, my little sister can't bring out anything else. You can save this snack for the night."
Yang Wu took the tea, held it tightly in his hand, turned back three times, and left reluctantly.
Han Di called out: "Brother, are you coming again tomorrow?"
"Come!" Yang Wu nodded vigorously, "I'll come every day!"
"Senior brother, I'm waiting for you every day!" Han Di had tears in his eyes again.
Yang Wu turned around and left sadly.
He held the tea in his hand, holding it tighter and tighter.
Back at the drink stall, a customer smiled at Han Di and said, "Young lady, you are so handsome. Give me a nice drink and sit with me for a while, and I will reward you with a few more coins."
While talking, the guest's hands groped Han Di's body.
Han Di gave the guest a fierce look.
The murderous look hit his face, and the guest was shocked and quickly retracted his hand.
Han Di looked at the waiter. The waiter understood and stepped forward to greet the guests.
Han Di left the drink stall, crossed a street, entered a house, pushed the door open, and saluted the man in the house.
"Xiao Situ, my subordinate succeeded."
That man was none other than Xiao Songting.
Xiao Songting picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "I'm worried that he will leave the silk handkerchief halfway. Can you guarantee that he will always keep it with him?"
Han Di was very confident: "I promise that even if he loses his life, he will not lose my silk handkerchief."
Xiao Songting smiled, took out a brocade box, and handed it to Han Di: "You deserve this, and you will be rewarded after you achieve your goals. Your talent is good, and if you practice diligently, you will definitely achieve success in our Taoist sect!"
"Thank you Situ for cultivating!"
Han Di left, and Xiao Songting returned to the house, silently staring at a chessboard on the desk.
On the chessboard, a white stone moved slowly, marking Yang Wu's position.
There was suddenly a layer of frost on Bai Zi. Xiao Songting put his hand on Bai Zi and felt some Yin Qi.
This guy really brought the silk handkerchief to Zhonglang Courtyard.
Seeing that Bai Zi was still, Xiao Songting put away the chessboard, activated the magic circle, and disappeared from the house.
Outside the capital, in a small pavilion, Bi Wusheng, dressed in white, sat silently.
Xiao Songting appeared beside him and whispered: "Xu Zhiqiong's Zhonglang Courtyard has been found."
Bi Wusheng nodded: "Wait until tomorrow, I will bring the others back."
Xiao Songting said: "That's his territory, you'd better be careful."
Bi Wusheng smiled: "Zhonglang Courtyard is located at the intersection of Yin and Yang. If we fight openly, he is no match for me, let alone if he is in the light and I am in the dark, he will definitely die."
Xiao Songting said: "But the judge is good at escaping. I have really learned this."
Bi Wusheng nodded: "The judge's escape skills are indeed great, but I can prevent them from having a chance to escape. If you are still worried, cut off his escape route in the world to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
…
Xu Zhiqiong tossed and turned in his new house and couldn't sleep.
The house was indeed too big, which made Xu Zhiqiong feel uneasy.
The Zhonglang Courtyard was also big, and there were still Chang Decai and Yang Wu at least. However, the move to the new house was too hasty, and Xu Zhiqiong did not hire any maids. He was the only one in the huge mansion.
When he saw Chou, Xu Zhiqiong still couldn't sleep, so he simply grabbed the Zhonglang Seal and returned to Zhonglang Courtyard.
When they entered Zhonglang Courtyard, they saw Yang Wu squatting in the courtyard, looking straight at Xu Zhiqiong.
"What are you doing?" Xu Zhiqiong felt something was wrong with Yang Wu.
Yang Wu murmured: "You think if I were still the lantern holder, would she be able to like me?"
"Who has a crush on you?"
"Yu Shan doesn't want her, and Liang Yuming doesn't want her either. If I'm still alive, will it be my turn?"
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked: "You saw Han Di!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Yang Wu looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "You said you have the senior sister beside you, Xia Hu, Tao Huayuan, the sixth princess, Lin Qianniang who sells flower cakes, and the newly-made princess
He Fang, and a poor girl named Shi Shuangliu,
So many girls are thinking about you, how come no one likes me? Am I that bad? It’s okay to be lonely as a human being, but am I still so lonely as a ghost? "
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, you were deceived by her again. Listen to me, that woman is not really attracted to you, she is..."
"You're right, she doesn't like me, it's not my turn!" Yang Wu smiled, "So this is very strange. I was walking on the street in the middle of the night, and by chance, I met
When it comes to her, why can I meet her?
Could it be that she is waiting for me? She doesn’t like me, so why is she still waiting for me? Do you think there is something weird here? "
While talking, Yang Wu took out the silk handkerchief Han Di gave him and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong: "Brother, look at this thing. Is there anything weird about it?"
Xu Zhiqiong fumbled with the silk handkerchief for a while, and faintly felt the flow of yin and yang.
Hidden so deeply!
There is a magic spell on this silk handkerchief!
This is a technique for tracking location!
Someone is going to chase me to Zhonglangyuan!
If Yang Wu hadn't reminded him, even if the silk handkerchief was placed in front of Xu Zhiqiong, Xu Zhiqiong might not have noticed it.
Xu Zhiqiong would never have thought that someone would target Zhonglangyuan!
"Good boy, you've come a long way!" Xu Zhiqiong smiled!
"I've been fighting with you for so long, and if I get deceived by her again, why the hell am I still here in this world?" Yang Wu said with bright eyes, "I know she doesn't like me, but I just fall in love with her. , what do you think we should do about this?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a cruel smile: "What do you want to do?"
