Xu Tianze stared at the parrot in front of him with a dark face. The parrot, sensing the murderous aura, flapped its wings frantically, but the gold chain tied to its feet restricted its movements.
The worst thing is that even though this damn parrot was frightened, it still kept repeating the same old words.
Xu Tianze grabbed the parrot directly. At this moment, he just wanted to use his internal energy to inject the poison directly into the parrot's body to let the bird know the problem of talking nonsense.
"This parrot was delivered today when the city gate opened." The head of the branch pavilion looked at the parrot in Xu Tianze's hand with a smile.
If it weren't for the owner's request, a place like theirs would never keep a parrot. If they really wanted to keep one, it had to be a dumb parrot.
Naturally, he would not care about the life or death of the parrot. In other words, if the young master did not keep the parrot, it would only end up satisfying his appetite.
"Parrots mimicking human speech is a taboo for aristocratic families and powerful forces." Xu Tianze picked at the parrot's feathers and narrowed his eyes. "It's surprising that such a cautious person like His Highness would actually keep a parrot."
The branch pavilion master and Brother Ma looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Who was their master raising this parrot for?
What's more, the parrot's voice was adjusted with secret medicine and is exactly the same as the voice of its master.
The servants all saw this attempt to please their master, but the master just didn't like it. What could they do?
Perhaps it was because the looks from the Pavilion Master of Fengge and Brother Ma were too strange that made Xu Tianze feel somewhat uncomfortable, so he coughed dryly.
"This parrot is not bad. I will accept it. Your Highness, please keep it for me first." As he said that, Xu Tianze handed the parrot to the head of the branch pavilion.
"The place for the young master to rest has been prepared, please see." The head of the branch pavilion followed Xu Tianze's words and directly opened it.
"No need. Brother Ma and I plan to open it directly." Xu Tianze interrupted the branch pavilion master.
He had originally wanted to see Song Yu in such a state of disarray before arranging for someone to spread the news. However, Long Musi's move probably wouldn't allow him to continue his leisurely journey back.
But it's almost the same. If we delay enough, I believe that Old Qi and the others have already left the Valley of Divine Doctors. Even if someone follows his whereabouts and finds the Valley of Divine Doctors, it will be deserted.
Well, I, Xu Tianze, am back in the capital. Jiang Xue, are you ready to welcome me?
At the same time, Jiang Xue in Shangjing City sat at the stone table in the courtyard, watching the maids in the courtyard sweeping the snow accumulated yesterday.
Ever since she learned that Song Yu had released the news of the Xu family's heir and left the city, her heart has been up and down. She looked for Xu Tianze's nephew, and Xu An had been looking for him for three years, but couldn't find him. She thought he was dead long ago, but she didn't expect that he was actually at the hands of her husband.
She was excited but also a little worried. She could indeed do something and use Xu An to threaten Xu Tianze, but Song Yu kept her in the dark before the news was released, so she couldn't help but think too much about it.
Especially three years ago, after Song Yu had been guarding the city gate for several days and nights, he came back and had a quarrel with her when he saw her. Since then, there has been a cold war between the couple, and she doesn't even have a child.
It was not until she sent someone to inquire later that she found out that she had met Xu Tianze at the city gate when he was about to leave the city. She was ridiculed and questioned by Xu Tianze, which implicated her.
Therefore, if it weren't for Xu Tianze, she would probably have her own children now, instead of relying on her father-in-law's support and her own harsh and ruthless methods to gain a foothold in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
However, once the news about Xu An is released, Xu Tianze will definitely come back here. Then she will have some fun with Xu Tianze and let him understand that there are some people he can only watch from afar, and anything else is a luxury.
It's funny that Xu Tianze and Brother Ma abandoned the carriage and took the small roads to return to Shangjing City safely.
Since the days he left the valley, he had been walking on the official road, killing wave after wave of people, making them think that he would fight his way back to the capital.
Of course, Xu Tianze had planned to do so, but he made a temporary decision to abandon the car and switch to horses. The group of people were probably still lying in ambush on the official road.
He and Brother Ma had no trouble taking the small path, and they entered Shangjing City before the sun set and the city was closed.
As for the assassins still lying in ambush outside, Xu Tianze could only say that there was nothing he could do. Let them continue to ambush, as they would not be able to wait for him anyway.
Xu Tianze rested for a while and was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, but when he saw a figure hanging around the door, he rolled his eyes.
This stubbornness sometimes really drove him crazy. He deeply suspected that the real intention of Long Musi sending Brother Ma to follow him was to piss him off to death.
Xu Tianze had no choice but to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the stupid Brother Ma standing outside the gatehouse, motionless.
"Brother Ma, meeting His Highness today is the same as meeting His Highness tomorrow." Xu Tianze brushed the snow off Brother Ma's shoulders and gave him a smile. "Besides, it's already three o'clock in the morning. His Highness must be asleep."
It’s better not to disturb His Highness. Moreover, if I go now, His Highness will definitely nag me about using myself as bait all the way.
Is he stupid enough to ask for a scolding? If he hadn't known Brother Ma for many years, he would have just ignored Brother Ma and gone to sleep.
"That's true. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Brother Ma scratched his head with a silly smile. He had originally planned to follow his master's instructions and bring the young master into the mansion as soon as he returned to the capital.
But what Xu Tianze said made sense. It was already late at this point, so it was better not to disturb His Highness's rest.
But he didn't know that whenever he went to the Third Prince's Mansion, he would see a lot of people standing at the brightly lit door of the Prince's Mansion.
As time went by, the black lines on the forehead of the leading man became thicker and thicker, and the low pressure around him made the people around him dare not breathe.
"What time is it now?" The breath exhaled by Long Musi swirled back and forth in the cold of early spring.
"Your Highness, it's already three quarters past midnight." The butler took a half step forward and said to his own prince, "Your Highness, why don't you go back to the study and wait until Master Xu arrives? I'll send someone to notify you."
The butler bent over and shivered. Although it was early spring, it was still cold. He had been guarding the door ever since his prince returned from the palace.
The masters are guarding outside the door. What else can the servants do if they don't follow them outside?
But it's difficult for his old bones. He really needs to quickly push his own boy out to replace him so that he can directly take care of his old age and take care of his children and grandchildren.
Long Musi saw out of the corner of his eye that the housekeeper was shivering with cold, and then he looked at the servants around him who dared not breathe. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had been standing at the door for several hours.
