Yao Chen sighed softly and said, "You haven't answered me yet. Who is that Lu Mu? Is he someone I know?"
For some reason, when the topic of Lu Mu was brought up, the guards' faces showed complicated expressions, mixed with a hint of inexplicable heartache. "Of course it's someone the master knows, but for the time being, I can't tell you."
Although it was no longer as dangerous as before, it was still not a place where they could talk and chat without worry. To prevent Yao Chen from asking too many questions at once, which would be difficult for them to answer, one of the guards simply took out the pill that "Lu Mu" had given them earlier, placed it next to Yao Chen's mouth, and explained, "Master, this pill can help you recover your energy as soon as possible. Take it first, and we will wait here for her to come back."
During the time Yao Chen was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, he had taken countless pills. He wasn't sure if this medicine could make up for the loss he'd experienced during that long period. After swallowing the pills without hesitation, Yao Chen felt dizzy and something was wrong. "...Why am I feeling dizzy from this medicine?"
The guard explained, "She said that children grow up sleeping, so they added something to the medicine that makes people sleepy. However, it has no harmful effects on the human body, so don't worry, just get some sleep and rest. When you wake up, you'll know who this lifesaver is."
After a while, Yao Chen felt that the sounds around him were becoming more and more chaotic, and the figure in front of him gradually became blurred. In this warm embrace, he fell asleep peacefully. This time, he felt that he should not have nightmares again.
...Some time before Xiahou Qing arrived in the capital, while he was still on the road, Huangfu Ning, who had split up with Huangfu Bin, had already tracked down information gathered from the black market to Qinghe County and even found the secret stronghold of Tianshu Tower, filled with night-scented barrels. Fortunately, this was where Huangfu Zhong was hiding.
Huangfu Ning hid in the shadows, looking at the piles of night-scented barrels in the courtyard, his brows furrowed. Are these young men brought from home really doing their job? He felt like these kids were fooling him. "Are you sure this is the place?"
“Sure, sure!”
Huangfu Ning saw the proud looks on the faces of these young men and didn't know what to say. He took out the sable that had been kept in a small cage, smoothed its fur, and said softly, "My dear, the master rarely lets you out to play. Don't let anyone catch you as soon as you go out. If you are caught, you will be skinned and your tendons pulled out."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The sable seemed to understand Huangfu Ning's words and walked carefully into the courtyard.
Huangfu Ning saw that Zidiao seemed to be getting more and more interested in the courtyard. Not only did they not change their direction at all, but they even sped up. "Let's wait here for the result. If it's really here, you little brats will have done a great job this time."
One of the young men, Huangfu Chongjun, who was the most talkative and the one who got everyone talking the most, heard this and immediately said, "Can I have Miss Huijue's autograph?"
Huangfu Chongcong, the younger of the three, stretched lazily and said with a tired look on his face, "I don't want anything. I just want to go back and have fun for three days and three nights without doing anything."
Huangfu Chongyou immediately responded, "That's a good idea!"
"......" Huangfu Ning looked at the three chattering kids and said, can't these children just be quiet and be handsome men like him? They are talking too much.
The little sable, with its petite body, swiftly shuttled across the beams, searching for the scent that captivated it. Just as it found the unique scent emitted by the puppet silk, a huge figure suddenly appeared before it, startling it: "Squeak!"
After calling out, the little guy seemed to remember what Huangfu Ning had just said to him. He followed the road and disappeared in front of Huangfu Zhong in a flash.
Looking at the legendary sable that lived in the Rose Garden before him, Huangfu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. "...Finally, it's here."
After closing his eyes and gathering his thoughts, Huangfu Zhong knocked on the locked door from inside. This time was different from usual. Because Xiahou Qing was not there, everyone could not help but relax a lot. Those who needed to sleep slept, those who needed to brag brag, and no one paid any attention to the noise.
Huangfu Zhong heard no one coming from outside the house, frowned slightly, and simply shouted outside: "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
The bragging people in the yard became nervous when they heard Huangfu Zhong shouting. If those who were interested knew that Huangfu Zhong was here, it would be a disaster.
The visitor quickly opened the door, rubbed his hands, nodded, and asked, "Mr. Huangfu, do you want to eat or have tea?"
Huangfu Zhong said, "I want to see Xiahou Chun. If you have any questions, tell him to come see me immediately."
The visitor looked up at Huangfu Zhong and saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking with them. Then he said, "...Sir, please wait a moment."
After the man locked the door and left, Huangfu Zhong couldn't help but laugh at himself, "How ridiculous! How can someone like me still be called a sir? It's simply blasphemy. If I hadn't had a sudden change of mind back then, perhaps I could have taken Ah Xiong and the others out to travel around the country. I know death won't make up for my mistakes, but I can't think of a better way to put an end to this matter."
After seeing Zidane return in a panic, Huangfu Ning said that this small courtyard must be hiding a secret. He then ordered, "These people don't seem to be ordinary workers. Be careful to find out what's going on. After all, this is Tianshu Tower's territory. We must not act rashly without being fully prepared."
"Okay uncle!"
Xiahou Jun, who had gone to invite him in the morning, made Huangfu Zhonggan wait until the evening before finally arriving. "Brother Huangfu, why are you so anxious to see me? What happened?"
Huangfu Zhong said bluntly: "I want to see Lin Feng. He is one of the few living dead who is in good health and has strong martial arts skills. I am worried that something might go wrong."
Xiahou Jun looked like he was causing trouble and said, "The person is dead, what else could go wrong?"
Huangfu Zhong explained with a serious expression, "That's what I said, but if it was the Pavilion Master who came to see me today, I wonder if Brother Xiahou would ask me the same question?"
