The old butler, Hong Fu, turned around and looked outside the hall.
"Young master."
"Miss."
A graceful young man, an elegant and pretty girl, and four maids came in.
As soon as the two of them entered, they saw Lu Zhou sitting on the main seat.
According to the rules of the host, even if he was a distinguished guest, he couldn't sit in this seat as he pleased.
However,
The young man had yet to speak.
The old steward said, "Young Master, don't neglect him. Even if the Old Master returns … he must be treated with respect. "
Hong Fu was really a smart person. He could tell that the young master was young and full of vigor, so he gave him a heads-up to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The young man, Qin Shuo, nodded and lowered his arrogant attitude.
Old Hong had been in the residence for many years and had always been cautious. Since he could speak like this, it was natural that he had to be taken seriously.
Qin Shuo bowed at Lu Zhou and said, "Greetings, old mister."
Even though he didn't know who the old man in front of him was.
Lu Zhou picked up the tea leaves and ignored him.
There was no point in communicating with random people.
Qin Shuo took a closer look. Wasn't this his father's most cherished Da Hong Pao? Even if the nobles of the imperial city came to the Prince of Qi Manor, Father would not easily take out the Da Hong Pao that he had kept for many years. This …
Hong Fu's expression froze. He stepped forward and made an inviting gesture. "Young Master, Old Mister has traveled a long distance. You should leave first."
"Old Hong, you …"
"I'll listen to Old Hong this time. If Young Master wants to blame me after this, Old Hong will not complain."
The girl beside him said, "Brother, Old Hong has been following Father for 20 years, longer than you and I. Since Old Hong has said so, all the more we can't underestimate him. "
Qin Shuo nodded. He bowed deeply at Lu Zhou, Zhao Yue, and Little Yuan 'er.
"Have a good rest, old mister. This junior will take his leave."
"Young Master, take care."
Qin Shuo and the others turned around and left.
Qin Shuo and his sister walked to the corner outside and frowned.
"Brother, what are you worried about?"
"There's nothing to worry about … Old Hong must have his reasons for doing this. I'm just curious what kind of person would need Old Hong to do this. "
"Won't you know when father comes back?"
"That makes sense. Let's go …"
The two of them left.
Old Hong returned to the hall and said, "I have already ordered people to prepare three rooms. Old Mister and the two young ladies, please rest assured and stay there."
Lu Zhou stood up and paced with his hands on his back.
Then, he looked around and sighed, "Twenty years have passed … I thought that things have changed, but to think that it's still the same."
Old Hong nodded and said, "Master has always been a nostalgic person."
"What's Qin Jun's status in the palace?" Lu Zhou asked.
Since he hadn't returned yet, it would be good to dig out something from Old Hong's mouth. After all, Old Hong had stayed in the Prince of Qi Manor for a long time, so he more or less knew some things.
"To tell you the truth, there is too much intrigue in the palace. Old Master doesn't like to get involved and has always stayed out of it. He doesn't have much power, but he does have some influence, "Old Hong said.
"Do you know Li Yunzhao?" Lu Zhou asked directly.
Hearing these three words.
Mr. Hong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Old Mister, this person is a favorite of the Empress Dowager … Although he doesn't have any real power, due to his special identity, many influential officials are trying to curry favor with him. He's quite a character."
Lu Zhou nodded and remained silent.
Old Hong couldn't help much with the rest.
Meanwhile.
Mingshi Yin flew with Lu Qiuping, one of the Five Mice, in tow.
When they were halfway through their journey, a tired expression could be seen on his face.
"What's wrong with master? Why is he going to the Divine Capital now? It's so far away."
"Master has a mount, but I have nothing. How long will it take?"
Lu Qiuping chuckled and said, "In that case, just let me go … I promise … I'll return the zen tunic immediately."
"Shut up! Do you think it's as simple as a zen tunic? "Mingshi Yin tightened his grip.
Lu Qiuping was sweating profusely from the pain.
He pulled a long face and said, "The Evil Sky Pavilion has so many treasures … One more won't make a difference. Why do you have to do this? If I die, my big brother will be angry. My second, third, and fourth brothers are much better at stealing than I am. They'll surely avenge me. Revenge breeds revenge. When will there ever be an end to this?! "
Lu Qiuping's last word was dragged out and twisted.
Mingshi Yin said in a deep voice, "How dare the Five Mice threaten the Evil Sky Pavilion? Do you know that the zen tunic is my Eighth Junior Brother's life-saving item? "
"Huh?"
"Taking away the zen tunic is the same as killing my Eighth Junior Brother! To tell you the truth … In my eyes, the Five Mice are already dead! "
"…"
Lu Qiuping's mind went blank and he fainted.
Mingshi Yin glanced at it and cursed, "Trash."
It was not suitable to carry him around like this.
The Immortal's Capital was huge. He couldn't possibly carry this piece of trash to meet his master.
"Let's return to the Evil Sky Pavilion before heading to the Divine Capital."
The Upper Prime City, the Evil Sky Pavilion, and the Divine Capital formed a triangle. He decided to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion first. It was not too far away anyway.
Thinking of this …
Mingshi Yin grabbed Lu Qiuping and flew toward the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Upper Prime City, Long Wind Restaurant.
Upper Prime City had already fallen into complete chaos.
Fire spread all around.
Four figures flashed past the roofs, the streets, and the corners that the soldiers and cultivators could not see …
He arrived at the Long Wind Restaurant at an extremely fast speed.
Swish, swish, swish …
The four of them stopped.
He raised his head and looked at the Eternal Wind Restaurant.
"Big brother, this is where fifth brother is supposed to meet Si Wuya."
"Let's go up and take a look.
Let's keep a low profile. "
One person went up to check, one person looked around, and one person kept watch.
One of them went up to take a look, one observed the surroundings, and one stood guard.
The eldest brother was the only one who stood at the foot of the Long Wind Restaurant.
"Big brother, there's no sign of fifth brother."
"Si Wuya isn't here either."
"Big brother … big brother, I found this! It's fifth brother's dagger! "The fourth brother ran over from afar.
The eldest brother caught the dagger and glanced at it. He snorted and said, "Si Wuya, do you think I won't dare to do anything to you just because you're an Evil Sky Pavilion disciple?"
"Big brother, fifth brother must've been kidnapped by him," the second brother said.
"I've warned Old Fifth to be careful of Si Wuya, but he wouldn't listen. He's extremely cunning and cunning. Sigh … "
"Big brother, we'll listen to you. What do you think we should do now?"
The three of them looked at the eldest brother.
After a moment of silence.
The eldest brother turned to look at the Evil Sky Pavilion and said, "The monk can run, but the temple can't. Since Si Wuya dares to break the rules, there's no need for us to be moral. "
"What do you mean, big brother?"
The eldest brother glanced at the other three and said, "We, the Upper Prime City's Five Mice, have never done anything big before! Let me ask you this, are you bold enough to do something big with me? "
An excited expression appeared on the three of them.
They had done a lot of robberies.
They had been sneaking around.
The Noble Path viewed them as trash and rats.
The people of the world laughed at them for being useless. They roamed the streets and alleys and were chased after. However, they did not know that rats would be bold enough to steal Buddha's lampwick as well.
After living a peaceful life for too long, they would want to go crazy for once.
Many people had this mentality.
The Five Mice were no exception.
Riches were sought from danger.
Who would not covet the Evil Sky Pavilion's treasures?
Moreover, the Five Mice had experienced this before.
"Let's retreat."
The four of them flew out of Upper Prime City.
