Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "Oh no!" Listening to what Huangfu Zhong said, could this pill turn him into one of those zombies? Thinking of this, the hairs on Lin Feng's back stood up all of a sudden: "You!"
Huangfu Zhong added: "It will take some time for the drug to take effect. I won't help you remove it. You stay here for a while."
"hateful!"
Before Lin Feng could yell and attract unnecessary attention, Huangfu Zhong stuffed half a steamed bun into his mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down. Many of the workers who are pouring the night incense are still asleep."
...Xiahou Chun, who had been observing Huangfu Zhong, watched him feed the familiar red pill to Lin Feng personally before returning to Xiahou Qing to report.
"How's Huangfu Zhong doing?"
Xiahou Chun said, "It's still the same as before, nothing unusual."
Xiahou Qing nodded slightly, flipping through the book in his hand as he made arrangements: "Although he is now cooperating with us, he still knows too much. After all, he is not one of us, so we should be careful. Have people keep an eye on his movements. Once the drug to reanimate the dead is successfully developed and the formula is obtained, Huangfu Zhong should go and apologize to those who died at his hands."
Xiahou Chun bowed his head and said, "Master, don't worry. I know what to do. As for Lin Zhenzhen, do we need to..."
Xiahou Qing waved his hand and said, "Let her go for now. This little girl may look smart, but she's not very smart. Anyway, she has nothing to do, so there's no need to worry about her doing anything bad. We can just watch the fun from the sidelines. Besides, she seems to have a close relationship with the people around Qinghe. I still need her to send some big gifts to our eldest princess."
Xiahou Chun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Pavilion Master is wise."
Xiahou Jun said that he would not be too offended by these compliments. If it were not for the fact that Xiahou Jun had followed him since childhood and was very loyal to him, he would not have achieved anything great, let alone the position he has today, given his usual behavior of taking advantage of small gains with his subordinates.
"Nothing interesting has happened in Gyeonggi recently, right?"
Xiahou Jun replied, "Not yet. The eldest prince is still peacefully staying in his own Eastern Palace. As for the Duke of Liang's Mansion, our people said they should have sent someone out."
Xia Houqing put the book in his hand on the table and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Xiahou Jun shook his head slightly. The specific identity had not yet been found. The Duke of Liang's Mansion had too many people helping him, so he was very tight-lipped. "I'm not quite sure yet. I only know that they sent several teams of people to provide cover for this person. It's not clear where he is going at the moment."
Xiahou Qing then asked, "During the incident with the living dead in the capital, I heard that someone from outside the city came to help Chen Xin?"
Xiahou Chun said, "Yes, I have already sent someone to check the fireworks that sent the message. They are unique to Shu."
After thinking for a moment, Xiahou Qing ordered, "...Tell the pursuers to stop. We cannot touch the people of Shu."
Because of the army of the living dead at his disposal, Xiahou Jun was now truly a little cocky: "Master, Shu is but a tiny nation. Although it maintains friendly relations with other nations, it's not necessary. I don't quite understand."
Xia Houqing gave him a blank look and explained, "To put it bluntly, it's just one word: money."
"money?"
Xiahou Qing suggested, "If you're interested, the Tianshu Tower archives contain quite a few files on Shu that I've had collected. You can check them out when you have time. It's not just about Shu. The Tianshu Tower archives are a great place. You should spend more time there when you have free time."
Xiahou Jun replied somewhat reluctantly: "Yes..."
Xia Houqing said with a hint of disappointment, "I know you don't like reading, but if you want to continue to make progress with me, you have to force yourself to read. Otherwise, your current position will be in danger."
Xiahou Jun panicked at these words. His current position, second only to Xiahou Qing, was earned through years of diligent and loyal service. If someone else snatched away this lucrative position just because of these things, wouldn't all his previous years of hard work be wasted? "I understand, I will definitely not let you down!"
That night, the brothers in the government office didn't even have time to eat dinner before they were all called out by Lin Zhenzhen to look for Lin Feng. To be more precise, it was when Lin Zhenzhen found out that Lin Feng had not come to look for her, and she waited anxiously for a long time but no one showed up.
Lin Zhenzhen searched the government office thoroughly, practically digging deep underground, but still couldn't find Lin Feng. When the brothers who had gone out to look for him came back one after another, she was a little panicked: "How is it? Did you find him?"
The brothers looked at each other and replied, "Not yet."
Lin Zhenzhen yelled, "Are you all useless? Aren't you usually very powerful? How come you can't even find a single person?"
Someone comforted her, "Miss, don't worry, the master might be out on some business."
Lin Zhenzhen burst into tears and said, "What big deal did he go out to do? He didn't even tell you. He clearly promised me that he would go shopping with me, and now he hasn't shown up. Something must have happened!"
After looking at her impatiently, the group said, "...Then, Miss, shall we look for her again?"
"Hurry up and go!"
After leaving the government office, this large group of people did not disperse. Instead, they stayed together and stopped in an alley some distance away from the government office, where they started chatting with each other.
Most of the brothers said that after hearing what Lin Zhenzhen had just said, she was most likely torturing them because Lin Feng had lied to her and didn't take her out to play. "I don't know what's wrong with this young lady. I think our masters think she's too noisy, so she goes out to do things alone. Besides, she's a woman, but she really thinks we're all her subordinates, ordering us around like a crazy woman."
They say gossip is a natural instinct for most women, but when this man starts gossiping behind people's backs, he can sometimes be even more enthusiastic than a woman. "That's what I think. It's just that the master really likes to be alone lately. I think we should stop looking for him. I bet you he'll be back in three days."
When someone heard the word "gamble", he suddenly became excited and said, "Okay, what's the bet?"
The leader thought for a moment and said, "Gambling will only hurt the relationship. How about this? I'll bet you that aged Hua Diao wine you've hidden away!"
