Chapter 469: Occupy the Territory
Tiger cub just hummed and groaned, neither saying it was good nor bad.
Xu Muhua felt that he was a child who was about to leave his mother to live alone, afraid of the unknown, the way of life he had never tried, and afraid of leaving everything familiar.
But when he came into contact with the new world and became familiar with it, he would be full of expectations for the new life. Everything needs a process.
"Have you seen the eldest master and Big Spot and Little Spot today? How come they are nowhere to be seen? I asked them to do something last night. Could it be that something went wrong and it was difficult for them to come back to see me, so they ran away secretly?"
"I knew that you, a woman, would have bad intentions!"
Xu Muhua was startled and turned her head to see Little Spot rushing in from the open window, flying around Xu Muhua's head, and finally landing on the flower crown she was wearing.
Xu Muhua had to be thankful that Little Spot was not big and light, otherwise it would have fallen on her head and her neck would have been sprained!
As a result, her eyes felt uncomfortable and she had to look up hard, almost popping her eyeballs out.
Finally, she was really tired, her eyes returned to normal height, and asked: "Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day. I want to ask you about what happened last night, but I don't know where to find someone to ask."
But Xiaoban was still insisting on what happened just now, and asked: "Did you say something bad about me just now? What bad things did
you say about me?" "Why did you say something bad about you? Didn't I just not see you all day and was worried about you?"
Xiaoban easily got angry, but also easy to soothe.
Every time he would get angry because of a word, but he would be soothed by Xu Muhua's words.
This time was no exception. He quickly flew down from Xu Muhua's corolla, landed on Tiger Cub's head, jumped, as if in revenge, and finally landed on the table.
Daban and the newcomer were much more obedient.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you today."
Xu Muhua asked again.
"We followed someone."
Big Spot answered.
"Did something really happen last night?"
Xu Muhua asked.
Little Spot rushed to answer, "Yes, yes, someone wanted to cause trouble! In that yard over there, there were several people in black clothes sneaking around, smearing something on the door of the yard."
"Smearing something on the door?"
They couldn't be smearing oil on the door to set it on fire, right?
"Yes, they smeared it on many doors!"
"What were they smearing?"
Several birds couldn't answer.
Most of them have a degraded sense of smell, so they couldn't smell what it was. In addition, it was late at night, and they didn't see where those people got the stuff from. It was definitely not water, and it looked a bit sticky.
"It looks like blood."
Big Spot thought for a while and said, "The color is very similar to blood, and it's sticky, not like water."
Xu Muhua was even more puzzled.
Why smear blood on the door?
"Of course it's to attract the sky bats."
The old man jumped over the high threshold, landed lightly on the ground, and walked in with elegant steps.
When he reached the side of Luohan's bed, he jumped lightly again and landed on the dwarf stool. With a sweep of his tail, he swept away the little spot that landed there!
The little spot dared not to be angry and could only stare at the old man silently.
"You are finally back from home, where have you been?"
Xu Muhua scanned the old man's eyes as soon as he saw it, and made sure it was fine and not injured before asking.
The old man looked at him with contempt, "Of course you came to a new place to occupy the territory!" Is
there any need to ask this!
Xu Muhua was used to being despised by the cat he raised, "Tell me!"
The old man must have discovered something.
She had not forgotten what happened on the night of Arong and Zhao Chengye's wedding. If it was for the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince would definitely not do nothing when she, the concubine, married the Crown Prince.
If the same thing happened again, even those who did not believe it before would probably be shaken. She wondered in her heart if there was really something wrong with the Crown Prince, otherwise how could something bad happen in both of his weddings? Although
her marriage to the Crown Prince was not something to look forward to, it was her wedding after all, and she did not want anyone to ruin it.
So she had asked the big and small spots to keep an eye on it, otherwise she would not have dared to sleep peacefully last night!
"They originally wanted to smear eel blood on the door to attract sky bats to bang on the door. What would others think if they made such a noise in the middle of the night? They must think it was weird. And thinking about the last time the prince got married, wouldn't they be able to pin an ominous reputation on the prince?"
This... is really simple and crude, but it was indeed very useful in ancient times. It's not that the ancients were really stupid, but the long-term belief in gods has caused them to have this kind of awe.
"How did you solve this problem in the end?"
The eldest master sneered in a decent manner, "It's not a big deal. There just happens to be a well in the yard."
At the very least, let those birds pick up some smelly grass and the problem will be solved. With so many helpers, can't you handle such a small matter? Did he underestimate the ability of his master?
He took a stroll last night and today, and almost visited the whole palace, and confirmed his territory. Of course, he had a few fights with other guys, and made them all volunteer to be his younger brothers.
From now on, he will be the big brother in this palace!
Xu Muhua hugged the master - almost didn't lift him up! She secretly exerted her strength, took a deep breath, and then successfully lifted the master up. She couldn't help but say, "Master, you've gained weight again!"
Alas, the master's weight loss plan has never been successful!
The master was instantly furious and immediately hit Xu Muhua.
Of course, he just hit Xu Muhua hard with his paw pads, and then retracted his sharp claws.
Xiaoban missed the opportunity and started screaming strangely, his voice full of ridicule.
The eldest master was about to pounce upon hearing the noise, but Xu Muhua held it down tightly. Seeing this, Xiao Ban became even more presumptuous and tried hard to provoke the eldest master.
Xu Muhua was really impressed by Xiao Ban.
"Okay, stop making trouble, the serious matter is not over yet! What happened later?"
The Fourth Prince's people must have felt that their arrangements were foolproof, and they were probably waiting in the dark to see the excitement. But they didn't expect that there was a commotion, but it was not what they had planned at the beginning.
The eldest master raised his head high, with a proud look on his face, "I followed suit and found a group of celestial bats to bang against the gates of his house and his yard."
Then when they banged against the gate, they made a noise, which was heard by the night watchman, who went to check but found nothing. This went on for several times, scaring away the night watchman!
