Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 29 Uncle Guo Is Myself

Three days later, the capital.

Looking at the majestic and majestic city gate, Yan Feng still felt a little unbelievable.

Although he knew that Zhang Xiu's old ox ran very fast, he was still very shocked to see it travel thousands of miles every day.

If it wasn't for the fact that the old scalper didn't have a trace of evil spirit, he would have suspected that this was some kind of powerful monster.

Leading the cows to the gate of the city, the soldiers were busy checking the credentials of the passers-by to enter the capital. People were coming and going, and two people dressed as eunuchs caught Yan Feng's attention.

The two eunuchs stood outside the city gate and watched, their eyes kept sizing up passers-by. There were a few servants behind them, as if they were waiting for someone important.

In the end, their eyes fell on the group of them, and they greeted them quickly with flattering smiles.

"Uncle Guo, our family has waited for you!"

Hearing the names of the two eunuchs, Zhang Xiu looked around and made sure they were coming towards her, then looked at Yan Feng with a strange expression: "Your sister is the queen?"

Yan Feng rolled his eyes immediately after hearing this: "No."

Zhang Xiu nodded, then looked at Ao Xue in shock: "Are you a man?"

Ao Xue: "..."

I'm tired and don't want to talk.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Zhang Xiu raised his chin in bewilderment: "Could it be that Uncle Guo is myself?"

The older eunuch showed a flattering smile, pinched the orchid and pointed: "Uncle Guo, you really know how to joke, you are not Uncle Guo, who is~"

"The imperial concubine wants to accompany and serve the Lord Long Live, and it is inconvenient to come out of the palace to see you, so we specially sent the two of us out of the city to meet you. Your mansion is ready, let's go home and rest..."

Saying this and beckoning, a luxurious and luxurious carriage slowly came to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu showed an expression of doubting her life. No matter what, she couldn’t remember that she had a sister who was a noble concubine in the palace. After a moment of daze, she said: "I won’t take the carriage, you go ahead and lead the way." .”

The eunuch glanced at the old ox riding under Zhang Xiu's buttocks, and forced a smile: "Uncle Guo, you follow behind, and our family walks slower in front."

After finishing speaking, he and another eunuch got into two sedan chairs and ordered people to pick up the sedan chairs.

After successfully entering the city gate, Zhang Xiu still couldn't remember who his "sister" whom he had never met before, lowered his voice, and said to Yan Feng: "Brother Yan, this matter is strange. My family has a single family for nine generations, and my parents have Passed away a few years ago, I never heard them mention that I have a sister."

Yan Feng said suspiciously: "He is a noble concubine, she has nothing to do to pretend to be your sister? Could it be that she likes to have nothing to do, and this is not possible?"

Zhang Xiu glared at him, and said: "If you come, you will be safe, anyway, we can't suffer, let's take a look first and then talk."

The two chatted without saying a word, and came to a beautiful mansion with green tiles, vermilion tiles, carved beams and painted buildings.

After entering the door, the servants lined up in two lines saluted and greeted Zhang Xiu.

The eunuch led Zhang Xiu into the hall, the banquet had already been set, and smiled and let Zhang Xiu and the three sit down at the table: "Our family does not know the exact time when Uncle Guo will arrive, so we are a little hasty in preparing, please forgive me, Uncle Guo. If you still need anything, just ask, our family will send someone to buy it."

Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile and asked, "What is your father-in-law's name?"

The eunuch smiled: "Look at what you said, the servants in the palace are all people with poor fortune. They don't have surnames or anything. You call our family Xiao Guizi, and you are giving our family face."

"Oh, so it's Eunuch Gui, that... when will my elder sister come out of the palace to meet me?"

"The imperial concubine told us in advance that you came to Beijing to rush for the exam. In order not to distract you, she said that she will wait for your title on the gold list before leaving the palace to meet you."

"I see."

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, and finished the banquet happily with the two eunuchs.

After sending the two eunuchs away, Zhang Xiu turned around with bright eyes, and said to Yan Feng and Ao Xue, "Quickly, go find all the valuable things in the mansion, let's split up!"

Yan Feng showed a puzzled expression: "Why are you looking for something valuable?"

Zhang Xiu showed a look of rotten wood that could not be carved, and said: "Of course it is sold, don't care what tricks they play, it is right to get the money first! It's hard to find if you miss this village, but you don't have this shop!"

Yan Feng: "..."

This is what Master often said, don't let the thieves go empty!If that "injustice concubine" knew that she had invited such a lord, I don't know how she would feel.

In half a day, Zhang Xiu almost emptied the entire mansion. Finally, when he looked at the glazed tiles on the wall and assumed the posture of demolishing the house, Yan Feng couldn't help but interrupted. He covered his forehead and said, "Brother Zhang, it's almost done, it's really ready."

Zhang Xiu nodded with regret, rubbed her sore arms, and said, "It's rare to come to the capital, let's go out to eat at night, and enjoy the customs of the capital by the way."

Ao Xue said excitedly: "Go to the Dragon King Temple first, I haven't seen the Dragon King in the capital yet!"

Zhang Xiu was also a little curious, and asked, "Which Dragon King is worshiped by the capital, the Dragon King of the East China Sea?"

Ao Xue thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty: "Looks like the Dragon King of Jinghe?"

While talking, Zhang Xiu called the housekeeper, asked about the location of the Dragon King Temple, and took Ao Xue and the others out of the gate, walking towards the direction of the Dragon King Temple.

Not long after, a group of people came to the Dragon King Temple.

The temple was deserted, and there were no pilgrims. Three sticks of half-burned incense were burning in the incense burner in front of the Dragon King statue, and a grizzled temple official dozed off in front of the table.

Hearing the movement, he said in a long voice without opening his eyes: "Five pieces of paper for burning incense, ten papers for signature, and twenty papers for release..."

Zhang Xiu glanced at the old temple official and said with a smile, "You're not greedy with a clear price tag."

The old temple official opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiu. His eyes went back and forth on the faces of the three of them for a while, and their expressions became strange.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and said with a slight frown: "I think the three of you are very human. Since we met, it is fate. Just now, the old man did a fortune-telling for the three of you for free, and I found out that the three of you are in the capital city." There will be a bloody disaster, if you want to resolve it, you need to leave the capital as soon as possible."

Yan Feng showed a look of surprise: "The Taoist looks are superb, he is really a god!"

As he said that, he unconsciously glanced at Zhang Xiu, "With this person here, the bloody disaster in the capital is simply inevitable!"

The old temple official: "???"

What do I mean?
Feeling confused for a moment, the old temple official shook his head dumbfoundedly, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Ao Xue: "You keep this thing well, it may save your life at a critical moment."

Ao Xue took the jade pendant, her eyes lit up immediately, she raised her head, and showed a sweet smile to the old temple official: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

The old temple official smiled slightly, reached out and stroked her head gently, knowing that the girl had already seen her identity.

At the same time, seeing the old temple official and Ao Xue in front of him like grandparents, happily getting along with each other, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhang Xiu's mind, her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at the old temple official: "I see , you are not a temple official at all, there is only one explanation for you to win Ao Xue's favor so quickly... you are a professional human trafficker!"

The smile on the old temple official's face suddenly froze: "..."

God damn human trafficker!I am the Dragon King!Dragon King of Jinghe!
