The guard who asked Han Jiulin why he wanted to change his name, his real name was Yang Xu. It has been five or six years since he entered the palace and started practicing, and he is still only an eighth-level Qi practitioner who has entered the martial arts realm.
Including him, most of the other guards were cultivators who had entered the martial arts realm. Only a few were cultivators of the Tongmai realm. As for the cultivators of the Yuandan realm, their leader, Zhou Xingchang, was the only one.
Although his cultivation level is low, his relationship with Zhou Xingchang has always been good. With his smooth manner and good flattery, he can be said to be Zhou Xingchang's most comfortable confidant among the guards.
Just this afternoon, Zhou Xingchang secretly approached Yang Xu and promised Yang Xu fifty taels of silver and gave him a task.
The task was very simple, that is, let him find a way to get Han Jiulin to talk to him and ask him why he wanted to change his name and what the meaning of the new name was.
That's why the scene happened where Cai Cai had the courage to ask Han Jiulin a question.
Now he asked about the reason why Han Jiulin changed his name, and he urgently wanted to report this matter to Zhou Xingchang, so as the patrol team walked not far away, Yang Xu lied that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the latrine.
Will return to the team later.
Because these manor guards were relatively lazy and the rules were not so strict. In addition, Yang Xu was Zhou Xingchang's confidant. Naturally, the other guards would not embarrass him. They laughed and cursed a few times and let Yang Xu leave.
Yang Xu left the team in the direction of the latrine. After completely disappearing from the sight of the other guards, he turned around and walked towards Zhou Xingchang's residence.
And more than ten feet away behind Zhou Xingchang, Han Jiulin followed him quietly.
As the guard commander of Yuxiang Manor, Zhou Xingchang and the old housekeeper can be said to be the two people with the highest status among the servants of the manor.
Before Han Jiulin came to the manor, Zhou Xingchang and the old housekeeper had the final say on the entire manor.
Therefore, Zhou Xingchang's residence in Yuxiang Manor is also a relatively luxurious place.
His house is only one level lower than the residence of Han Jiulin, the owner of the village.
At this time, Zhou Xingchang's house was still lit with dim lights, waves were hitting the coast, and the suppressed moans of women were constantly coming from the house.
Yang Xu came to the door of the house, listened to the seductive voice inside, and whispered to himself: "I don't know that the commander asked that maid to sleep with him again today. This voice is so charming that the souls of those who listen to it are lost."
.”
He did not dare to disturb Zhou Xingchang's good deeds, so he stood outside the door and waited patiently.
Not far away, in the darkness, Han Jiulin frowned slightly and said in his heart: "This Zhou Xingchang almost regards Yuxiang Manor as his own home. Not to mention living in such a spacious house, he dares to let the maids in the manor
, sleep with him?"
This kind of thing cannot be justified no matter where it is placed. Han Jiulin believes that if the old prince comes to Yuxiang Manor in person, Zhou Xingchang will definitely patrol conscientiously, and he will not dare to spread the news that he and the maid in the manor are together.
In the ears of the old prince.
Even if he is the commander of the guards, in essence, he is still just a servant of the palace. If a servant dares to do this, it is already an act of transgression!
In the past, the people from the palace were not at Yuxiang Manor, so Zhou Xingchang would just do whatever he wanted. Now that Han Jiulin has arrived at the manor, Zhou Xingchang still doesn't know how to restrain himself. It can be said that he doesn't take Han Jiulin seriously at all.
Han Jiulin's thoughts were racing, and his face could not help but darken.
At this moment, a deep male roar was heard from inside the house.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of waves crashing on the shore also stopped abruptly.
Yang Xu outside the house showed a smile until then, knocked on the door and said: "Commander Zhou, Yang Xu wants to see you."
Zhou Xingchang's deep voice came from inside the room: "Wait a moment."
After a while, the door of the room opened, and a woman with a peach-shaped face, average appearance, and wearing a maid's uniform appeared at the door. She glanced at Yang Xu shyly and said, "Guard Yang, Guard Zhou is waiting for you inside.
I’m leaving first.”
Yang Xu chuckled, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of the maid's chest. The maid didn't dare to say anything, rolled her eyes at Yang Xu, and left quickly.
Yang Xu chuckled and walked into the room.
Zhou Xingchang was wearing a white underwear, with his chest open, revealing a thick patch of heart-protecting hair. When he saw Yang Xu coming in, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "What's the matter with you coming to see me this late at night?"
Sit down and talk."
Yang Xu chuckled, sat on the chair, and said: "Commander, I have asked the owner of the village why he changed his name!"
"oh?"
Zhou Xingchang, who was a little lazy at first, suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked: "What's the reason?"
Yang Xudao: "The owner of the village said that he changed his name just to start a new life. As for why he chose this name, it was because he once had a dream, and it was called 'Han Jiulin' in the dream. He said that in that dream
, it’s a very strange world. In that dream, he led troops to fight and became a prince.”
"I see."
Zhou Xingchang nodded as if he understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand, you can continue patrolling."
Yang Xu said with a shy smile: "Commander, didn't you say that as long as I could ask, you would give me fifty taels of silver?"
Zhou Xingchang glared at Yang Xu and said, "Then I have to wait until I get the money before I can give it to you."
Yang Xu was stunned and asked: "Commander, is there anyone else who gave you money to buy this news?"
Zhou Xingchang nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise why would I be so thankless and ask you to ask these questions to that good-for-nothing Han Jiulin? I don't even bother to care what his name is."
"Then how much money will the other party give you?"
Yang Xu asked curiously.
Zhou Xingchang glared and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? All you need to know is that your fifty taels are enough."
"That is, that is."
Yang Xu chuckled and did not dare to ask any more questions. He said goodbye to Zhou Xingchang and turned to leave.
Han Jiulin did not follow Yang Xu this time, but continued to stay outside Zhou Xingchang's door to see if he could hear more news.
However, Zhou Xingchang stayed in the room and did not do any other unnecessary things. He just drank a few water, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Seeing that he could no longer hear any useful news, Han Jiulin quietly walked away.
"It seems that the master of Tongtian Hall, after learning that I changed my name, promised Zhou Xingchang a certain reward and asked Zhou Xingchang to find out the reason why I changed my name and find out the truth.
Zhou Xingchang handed over this task to Yang Xu.
Zhou Xingchang should go to the Lord of Tongtian Palace tomorrow to tell him about this matter and ask for reward.
In this way, as long as Zhou Xingchang leaves the manor tomorrow, there is a high possibility that he will go to see the Lord of Tongtian Palace. By then, I only need to follow him and I will be able to find the Lord of Tongtian Palace..."
In the night, Han Jiulin walked towards his house while clearing his mind!
