Chapter 114: Guard Xiaoliu
After returning to the Huo Mansion, Hua Jue rummaged through the warehouse and found a set of old personal guard uniforms for Xiao Liu.
Xiaoliu's clothes were a little small, the sleeves were too short, and the chest was tight, making him look a little funny.
Hua Jue was worried. "This is too urgent. I can't delay in sending the contract. Otherwise, I have to ask the best tailor to come to your house to take your measurements and make you a good suit. Sigh!"
Xiao Liu didn't care. He touched the guard uniform on his body and said happily:
"I see you guys showing off in this outfit every day, and today I finally get to wear it too! Hehe!"
Ye Yan fiddled with two firework folders, carefully checking them over and over again, and hid them in two places on Xiaoliu's body, instructing:
"You entered the Yu family alone, so you must be careful at all times. If you find any signs of trouble, immediately set off fireworks into the sky, and we will rush in to rescue you."
Buyan sharpened Xiaoliu's guard knife and continued:
"Yes, don't be afraid of misunderstandings, or overthinking or misjudging. If anything seems amiss, signal immediately. I have to protect the young master, so I can't go with Brother Ye Yan and the others to look after him outside. When you return after your great achievement, I'll invite seven young ladies from the Red Square to accompany you!"
Xiao Liu touched his nose excitedly, "It's a deal, seven young ladies, not one less, and you have to find me some pretty, fair-skinned ladies!"
Bu Yan smirked, "How beautiful should it be? Prettier than the Oiran? How fair should it be? Fairer than your brother Hua Jue?"
“Hahahahahaha——”
Several people laughed.
Hua Jue was so angry that he wanted to hit Bu Yan, but the latter had already slipped away as fast as he could, shouting as he ran:
"I've passed the Feifu exam, and my Qinggong skills are unparalleled. How can you, kid, catch up with me?"
Hua Jue cursed: "You better sleep with one eye open! Otherwise, I'll castrate you sooner or later and send you to a brothel to entertain guests!"
Ye Yan watched from the side and shook his head, "It's already this late and you're still making a fuss! Quiet down!"
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Ye. I won't be nervous if you guys act like usual. And this way I'll feel closer to you, like I can truly be brothers with you."
Ye Yan squeezed Xiaoliu's sturdy shoulders hard:
"Good boy, go ahead and earn the credit that belongs to you!"
After Xiaoliu had packed up, Huo Gannian called him to the study and gave him detailed instructions for more than an hour, preparing for various possible emergencies and teaching Xiaoliu how to deal with them and escape.
Huo Gannian even told him how to start the conversation and what to say, word by word.
Finally, after Yun Chen arranged all the matters to take care of Xiaoliu, he personally came to see Xiaoliu out.
She carefully examined Xiaoliu from head to toe, and even turned over the fireworks that Ye Yan had checked.
Even so, she still felt uneasy. She touched the red rope and gold lock on Xiaoliu's neck, tucked in his collar, and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it."
"Don't try to be stubborn when you get there, okay? You can always earn credit, not just this time. Gou Ge is here to protect you, so come back safely."
"Don't fool me, Brother Yun. Opportunities like this to accomplish great deeds don't come around often. I have to seize this opportunity!" Xiao Liu was clearly not worried at all, grinning foolishly. "Don't worry, don't forget you promised me to treat me to a drink of Tianhe Yao when I come back!"
"Yeah!" She stood on tiptoe and hugged Xiaoliu tightly.
Xiaoliu blushed in embarrassment and said with a smile:
"Brother Yun, you've changed. You weren't so talkative before."
She jumped up and slapped Xiaoliu on the head. "You dare to yell at me? Are you itching for trouble? I'll see how I'll deal with you when you come back!"
Xiao Liu laughed foolishly twice, and imitated Yun Chen's usual behavior, carefully putting the peace agreement into his chest and patting his chest.
"Brother Yun, I'm leaving!"
"Okay, my two hundred brothers and I will be there soon, waiting outside the Yu family's house to take care of you!" Yun Chen responded with a fake and relaxed smile:
"Go ahead, I'll protect you!"
Xiaoliu strode forward with his head held high and chest puffed out. After walking a distance, he turned back and waved at Yun Chen. His dark face showed a row of big white teeth, and his smile was hearty and childish.
Yun Chen also waved his hand, and then immediately called out the names of the people to line up, calculated the time and direction, and together with Ye Yan and Hua Jue, quietly ambushed in the direction of the Yu family.
Xiaoliu was actually very nervous.
Standing at the gate of the Yu family, he took several deep breaths, repeated the words Huo Gannian taught him over and over in his mind, and touched the gold lock on his neck before he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
The side door opened, and a Yu family guard poked his head out and shouted:
"Who the hell is this jerk? How dare you knock on the front door?"
Xiaoliu stood up straight, raised his chin, and said:
"I'm Xiaoliu, a personal guard of the Huo Gang. I'm here on the orders of my young master to deliver a confidential letter to Master Yuyangji!"
The Yu Family guard's expression changed immediately after hearing this. He quickly let Xiao Liu in and said with a smile:
"So you're brothers from the Huo Gang. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time. He said that someone from your Huo Gang would come to visit sooner or later."
Xiao Liu had originally put on a dignified posture, but seeing that the Yu family guard was so easy to talk to, he couldn't help but relax:
"Your master knew we would send someone?"
The Yu Family guard smiled and said, "Of course! Brother, I'm telling you the truth, don't be angry. The masters fight with each other, and they know everything about each other. We, as guards, are just acting for the masters, going through the motions, don't you think?"
Xiao Liu had never expected the Yu family to be so polite and easy to talk to, and he couldn't help but forget many of the things Huo Gannian had told him.
The Yu Family guard then asked, "Brother, are you here to negotiate peace?"
Xiaoliu was surprised, "How did you know?"
The Yu Family guard showed a sincere and warm look, put his arm around Xiao Liu's shoulders, and walked into the house unnoticed.
"I won't say any more. The masters have long been in touch with each other. Our master guessed that you would come to negotiate peace. After all, the current situation is too ugly, and we don't want to make trouble. It's still more important to run a peaceful business and make money, don't you think?"
Xiaoliu nodded repeatedly, completely forgetting Huo Gannian's instructions.
He forgot that the first thing Huo Gannian told him was:
Those who submit to you are treacherous! Retreat immediately, without hesitation!
