Chapter 490
(7)

General Youwei's surname was changed to Huangfu, and his official residence was near the imperial palace. His daily duty was to act as the leader of the imperial guards in the imperial palace and command all the guards in the entire imperial palace.

Taking advantage of his position, it is obvious that General Youwei can have more opportunities to get acquainted with dignitaries and celebrities. Perhaps because of this, it is rumored that he is always ashamed of everyone, especially those around him who are lower than him. The other party is inferior to others, so he never interacts with humble people.

As he approached his mansion, a thick white smoke hit his nostrils, because the aroma was so thick that it choked his eyes and noses. When he looked closely, it turned out that the servants in the mansion were burning incense in the aisles around the courtyard to drive away evil spirits. Both enshrine a half-leg-high Buddha statue.

"What are they doing?" Su Qing was a little curious, walked over and asked: "The big mansion is making it difficult to walk, cough, cough, don't you know there are guests coming today?"

The young man fiddled with the tribute in a mysterious way, bowed solemnly to the Buddha statue, and then returned to Su Qing and said: "General Huangfu has recently suffered from a strange disease, and he seems to be possessed by evil spirits, so he asked the abbot of the temple to set up this square formation to drive away evil spirits." Get rid of the filth!"

"Let's go." Another boy in casual clothes said: "We are here to visit General Huangfu, please show us the way."

The young man pointed his finger to the northeast and said, "You go there on your own. Although the general can't see guests yet, if it's General Baifeng who wants to come, he will definitely not refuse."

Bai Feng and Su Qing then walked for a while, the road was billowed with white smoke, and they could barely see the road. The young man never let go of his cautious mood, kept his hand on the sword, and sighed: "I don't know what I want to do, pretending to be a ghost?"

After a while, they entered a large room, the room was spacious and the smoke was difficult to gather, which allowed them to see clearly a gap in the mansion.The ground here is entirely made of polished marble, as if to force everyone to walk "elegantly". If you want to run on this kind of ground, you must first be prepared to fall heavily on the ground.

A huge glazed lamp hangs above the lobby, colorful colors are dotted on every slope, and there is a nearly perfect arc between each slope, and the clear flower buds and petals outline a wonderful shape, as if The celestial girl spreads flowers above her head.

Behind the two gilded lampstands, under the curtain, a man fell asleep, snoring like thunder, and a maid beside him gently shook his cattail fan to relieve his fatigue.

"My lords, General Huangfu is still resting, why don't we wait elsewhere first?" Another maid led everyone outside the house, when the white smoke cleared, and the whole view of the mansion could be seen in full view.

An exquisite pool is placed in the center of the courtyard. The main body is carved from white marble. There is a statue hovering in the pool, which looks like a rhizome of a flower. It divides the pool into three layers, and a huge pearl is inlaid on the top. , hanging down a white and pure crystal curtain like clouds, all the way down to the water.

The crystals and ripples set against each other and glisten under the sun's rays.

"The two adults wait here first, I will arrange a tea banquet for the adults..."

Both Bai Feng and Su Qing nodded, and soon found that they were the only two left in the entire courtyard.

In the scorching summer, the sound of cicadas chirping was so sharp that it made people irritated. In the place where the smog was filled just now, another cloud of turbid moisture surrounded them.The mansion is huge, but there is no room for them at all. This is something they only began to understand after they came to this small pool.

"Brother Bai, why don't we come back another day?" Su Qing wished she could take off her shirt and take a bath in the sink, she only slightly unbuttoned her lapel to catch the heat, and continued: "You came here just to know about this General Huangfu Is he pretending to be sick? Hearing his snoring like thunder, I am afraid that he is healthier than me——Old Tao said that you will never be able to cure a person who pretends to be sick."

Bai Feng said: "Tell me, can I live in this kind of house in the future?"

"what?"

Bai Feng smiled: "Oh, it's very big and beautiful, but I only have it, so it's meaningless."

Su Qing pushed Bai Feng away impatiently and sat by the pool, saying: "I know, I know! You don't like money and beauty, you don't need high-ranking officials and nobles, and you come out of the mud but not stained, you might as well just become a monk! "

"Brother Su was joking." Bai Feng said, "You know very well that my nostalgia for the secular world is no less than anyone else's. Without you, there would be no me. I came here only to tell General Huangfu that I will not be on his way to promotion and fortune." stumbling block."

"Bai Feng, are you sick too?" Zhao Kuo sarcastically said, "He was picked up by Mei Lin alone. Don't tell me you want to join them."

Bai Feng nodded and said, "It's just a stopgap measure."

As soon as the words were finished, the servant who had just left came to invite him: "My lords, General Huangfu has woken up and is waiting in the inner room."

Huangfu was sitting on the hospital bed dying, Baifeng had no intention of exposing his tricks, and immediately expressed his intention, saying: "General Huangfu, I heard that you have been unwell recently, and someone advised me to take over the post of 'Youwei' temporarily. I'm flattered, and I'm here to ask for advice on official matters."

"Ah, I have heard that General Baifeng is young and promising, and seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!" Huangfu wanted to get up and kowtow, then fell on the bed dying, crying: "Look at my body, I am afraid that I will die soon... "

"How can General Huangfu speak lightly of fate? The general is at ease to recuperate from his illness. He will go to the palace to do business after he comes down. He will listen to General Huangfu's words and will never show favoritism." Bai Feng leaned lightly on Su Qing, and grabbed his purse. , Su Qing expressionlessly took out a piece of emerald jade and presented it.

Baifeng continued: "The ancients said that beautiful jade is like a gentleman. Today, we two use this fine jade to make an agreement between a gentleman. I, Baifeng, have no desire for meritorious service. During the period of leading the 'right guard', All the rewards received belong to General Huangfu, and I wish the general a speedy recovery, so I bid farewell."

After saying that, the visiting guests were about to leave. General Huangfu changed his arrogance when receiving the guests just now, returned gifts according to equal etiquette, and ordered his servants to send them all the way.

A few days later, as expected, the imperial decree came, ordering Bai Feng to take over the post of "General Right Guard" for the time being, in charge of the palace guards. It was Ye Gao's family who hosted a banquet for Bai Feng to celebrate. Everyone was congratulating Bai Feng, only Su Qing dared not agree.

He was like a different kind, who suddenly left the scene when everyone was toasting and celebrating, and climbed up to the top of the city alone to enjoy the cool night breeze.

"Why, do you want to help someone like Mei Lin?" For the first time in Su Qing's life, his dignity was trampled on. Although he also did things for Mei Lin, the two had already turned against each other in order to help his friend.

He was obviously so brazen and a low-ranking person, but at this moment, he really wanted to regain his dignity in front of Bai Feng, and said to him: "I don't want to help you anymore."

In fact, however, he couldn't say it at all.

"You are now a big shot in the palace. From now on, I'm afraid you won't take our friends seriously!" Su Qing looked up at the sky and confided in her heart. Not long after, Bai Feng's voice came from behind her. answer.

"Brother Su, only you can help me with the rest." Bai Feng walked up to the other party and replied, "I found this place after sending dozens of cavalry on business. Don't you want to see me?"

"What, if you ask me to be a bull for Mei Lin or Taiping Daoists, I don't want to." Su Qing still couldn't make up his mind, and continued to test: "General Baifeng, after you enter the palace, wouldn't you Can I face Miss Murong day and night?"

Bai Feng shook his head and said: "That's absolutely not the case. I have a hunch that they must have set a trap for me. Just like you told me, they only want to keep General Huangfu. When things happen, only you can help me. "
