Jiang Zhuojun followed the boss through the streets, turned around and around, entered an alley, walked to the end of the alley, and stopped in front of a black lacquered wooden door.
The boss knocked on the door and invited Jiang Zhuojun to come in first. He followed behind and stood in front of the door, looking carefully for a long time. After making sure that there was no one following him, he closed the door with a bang.
Someone ran up and wanted to help Jiang Zhuojun lead the horse.
Jiang Zhuojun looked at this person. Although he couldn't remember his name, he could recognize that he was a former pirate.
"General Xiao Jiang, I'll take your horse to the stable," said this big, dark-skinned, tall man. Facing Jiang Zhuojun, he had to pretend to be kind, but as a result, his big, dark face was distorted into a look that could scare a child to tears.
Jiang Zhuojun had three black lines on his forehead and handed the reins to him.
The family closed the door and ran to Jiang Zhuojun, pulling the clothes wrapped around his head and said, "General Jiang, are you from the Imperial Palace?"
Jiang Zhuojun nodded, and suddenly remembered something. He stopped the big man who was leading his warhorse to the stable, walked quickly to the horse, and took down a luggage bag hanging on the horse's neck.
The head of the family came forward and said, "Hey, General Xiao Jiang, you brought a gift for our princess. You are so polite."
Jiang Zhuojun looked at the boss. This man remained the same and never treated him as an outsider.
The boss took Jiang Zhuojun to the backyard. Jiang Zhuojun asked one question and he answered it. General Jiang was very worried about Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang, but he heard from the boss that both of them were fine, and that was the focus.
"That's it?" Jiang Zhuojun said in disbelief.
The eldest boss pushed open the door of a basement and said, "That's right, General Xiao Jiang, they are really fine. Uh, we are a good group of people too. Yesterday I heard Xiao Wei talking to his wife about when they would have a baby, and give birth to a younger brother so that Xiao Bao can be the older brother."
Jiang Zhuojun stroked his forehead and asked, "How do you know such private conversations between husband and wife?"
The boss confessed without Jiang Zhuojun asking him, and whispered, "They were in the back garden with Xiaobao to look at the fish in the pond. I was beside them, and I heard everything they said."
After just a short walk, Jiang Zhuojun no longer wanted to talk to the boss. (-_-|||)
The eldest master held a lantern in his hand and led Jiang Zhuojun into the underground room, saying, "The road below is connected to our Prince Consort's Mansion. Now if we want to leave the mansion, we have to take this underground tunnel."
Jiang Zhuojun asked: "Did this tunnel exist originally?"
"Yes," the eldest boss said, "I now suspect that the ground under our Fengjing City is empty. Maybe there are tunnels under every house." (You are exaggerating~)
Jiang Zhuojun touched the earth wall beside him and found it was dry, not wet.
The eldest head of the family said, "My princess had a room full of rice and flour. There was someone imprisoned in the original basement, so she wanted to dig a cellar in the mansion, and she found this tunnel. The tunnel in our mansion was more than ten meters away from the one here. My princess dug the two sections of the tunnel together in one night without asking for help."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "What is Gu Xinglang doing?"
The eldest boss said, "Our prince consort is beside her to keep the lights on." Turning his head to look at Jiang Zhuojun, the eldest boss explained for his prince consort, "It's not that our prince consort doesn't want to help her dig the soil, but when our princess starts digging the soil, she's like a groundhog, you can't stop her, really."
Jiang Zhuojun was amused by what the boss said. This man has changed a lot and has become even less able to speak human language. Did he say that his princess is a groundhog's guard?
"General Xiao Jiang, please watch out for the road," the boss walked with his back to Jiang Zhuojun and could not see Jiang Zhuojun's expression at the moment, but he greeted Jiang Zhuojun very attentively.
Jiang Zhuojun followed the boss down the long stairs and found a straight and narrow passage in front of him.
The eldest boss said: "This tunnel has existed for a long time."
Jiang Zhuojun asked: "Where is the original owner of this house?"
The eldest boss said directly: "The eldest young master spent money to drive him away."
Jiang Zhuojun...
The boss lifted the rice and flour he was carrying on his back.
Jiang Zhuojun couldn't stop twitching as he looked at the big bag. There was already a room full of rice and flour. Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess still need to bring more rice and flour home?
"General Xiao Jiang..." The boss still wanted to chat with Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun said: "From now on, don't talk anymore."
The Boss (︶︿︶), this person is really hard to get along with!
The two walked through a straight passage and climbed a long flight of stairs. When the boss pushed open the half-open door, Jiang Zhuojun was blinded by the sunlight outside.
"You're back?" The second in command was guarding the door at the moment. When he saw his boss coming in, he quickly took the heavy rice and flour from the first in command. Then he looked at the person following his boss and saluted and said, "It's General Xiao Jiang!"
Jiang Zhuojun nodded to the second in command, shielding his eyes with his hands, and asked, "Where are the princess and her husband?"
The second in command said, "He is with Prince Guiwu. The Fifth Prince came down today and is learning painting from Prince Guiwu."
The eldest master pointed to the gate and said, "General Xiao Jiang, please. I will take you to the Fifth Prince."
When Jiang Zhuojun walked into the courtyard where Gui Ning lived, the atmosphere in the courtyard was very solemn. Seven or eight painting tables were placed in a row in the open space in the courtyard, with many paintings on them. Yu Xiaoxiao was looking at the paintings with her hands behind her back. Gu Xinglang was sitting on a chair nearby with a little fat boy in his arms. The rest of the people were either standing or sitting, and no one in the courtyard spoke.
Jiang Zhuojun stopped and asked the boss: "What happened?"
The eldest boss looked around and said, "Yeah, what the hell is going on?"
Yu Xiaoxiao had heard footsteps before, and now she heard voices. She turned her head and saw that the person coming was Jiang Zhuojun. Yu Xiaoxiao immediately raised her hand and waved at Jiang Zhuojun, saying, "Xiao Jiang!"
When Gu Xinglang saw Jiang Zhuojun come in, he quickly stood up, holding Pangdun in his arms.
Jiang Zhuojun took a few quick steps and came in front of the young couple. He looked at them and found that the boss was not talking nonsense to him. They both looked good.
"Call me Brother Xiao Jiang," Yu Xiaoxiao said, patting Fatty's head.
"Brother Xiao Jiang," Fatty called Jiang Zhuojun affectionately.
"Go call Xiao Wei and his family of three," Gu Xinglang ordered the people behind him.
The man agreed, turned around and ran away.
"This is my little Wuzi," Yu Xiaoxiao introduced Pangdun to Jiang Zhuojun.
"Yes," Fatty said to Jiang Zhuojun, "Brother Xiao Jiang, you can call me Xiao Wu from now on."
Jiang Zhuojun..., I know you are the Fifth Prince of Fengtian, but you should at least tell me your name, right?
