There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 176 The Huangfu Family Has Arrived
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He obediently went to the table and sat down.

"The battle ahead is not over yet, but the widow hastily called you back. I'm afraid there will be complaints from the army?" The king poured him a glass of wine and asked calmly.

"No, in fact, the war is over, and the minister is about to leave the camp to return to the court on a certain day." He respectfully thanked the king for the wine, and replied, "Your Majesty's heart is on the war ahead, which is admirable."

The king put down his wine glass and seemed to say with emotion: "Since I ascended the throne, you have never forgotten to remind me of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."

He sighed and said: "The king will always be the king, and the subjects will always be the subjects."

"What subject?!" The king was suddenly furious, and smashed the wine glass on the table, spilling the whole glass of undrunk wine on the table. "If it wasn't for the beginning...!"

"Your Majesty!" He quickly interrupted His Majesty's words, "It didn't matter in the past, but now you are Your Majesty, and no one can change this."

The king stared at him sullenly, without saying a word.

"Madame Jingyuan..." he said slowly, "Madam, in order to have someone to take care of the king, she begged the late emperor to call his ministers into the palace. If Madam sees the king like this, she must be very comforted."

The king sneered and said, "What comfort does she have? Whether it's the widow or the prince who was poisoned in the past, they are all just pawns for her to keep her status. In this deep palace, no one cares about a situation." The lonely and weak little prince is dead or alive, not to mention what his thoughts are."

He didn't speak.He knew that what the king said was not only the facts, but also his own experience.

"The only thing I am grateful to that woman is that she arranged for you to take care of me—but I know that she just used this to show her tolerance to my father." After finishing speaking, the king seemed to calm down a little, and called Wang Jing. Come in and wipe the drinks off the table.But until the king actually left, the king never said a word.

"I don't know what's the matter with your Majesty calling the minister back to the palace urgently?" He took the lead to break the silence.

"Zining..." The king looked up at him, "What are you hiding from me?"

He frowned in confusion, and was about to ask to clarify, when the king continued to say: "Do you have any exchange terms with that military advisor Bian Yulei whose origin is unknown?"

He was surprised, but he felt that the king should have noticed something, because he is the king, and he is a person who should have everything in his hands. "Yes." He didn't hide it. In fact, he didn't intend to hide it from the beginning to the end, but he never confessed it.He didn't know why the king asked about this matter, and his heart was a little uneasy.

"What did you promise him?" The king's voice became severe.

He didn't know whether he should tell the king, or how to explain it, so he frowned and remained silent.

"You don't want to say it?" The king raised his voice as if he was questioning him.

"No." He quickly denied, "I just don't know how to say it... because I know you might be very upset about my reasons."

The king laughed softly, "I like to hear you call yourself "I" instead of "I"."

He couldn't smile.

"Besides, the widow killed Rou Niang and all those who touched you, but you are still willing to care whether the widow will be happy, which makes the widow very happy." The king smiled brightly.

But the brilliance made him feel dazzling, and the fists under the table were clenched tighter and tighter.

"So I also want to do something for you." The king looked into his eyes sincerely and said.

He was almost flattered.He smiled reassuringly and said, "I am already very happy that Your Majesty can say that."

"I'm serious." The king's expression was frighteningly serious.

He never doubted the seriousness of the king. "I know, of course I believe what you said is true. But..." He didn't need the king to do anything for him.The king has grown up and become an independent monarch, and the only person he wants to cherish, Rou Niang, is gone. For him, there is nothing worthy of his nostalgia.

"I know I can't deal with Bian Yulei, but I won't let him succeed!" The king's eyes showed determination.

"What are you going to...do?" He didn't want the king to encounter any danger, especially for him to encounter danger.He waited for a long time, but the king remained silent and did not tell him.He knew that the king didn't want to tell him at all.

"Zining." The king finally opened his mouth, raised and put down the wine glass in his hand, but after all, not a drop was touched, "I can't bear you." The king said, "So I hope we can meet again in the future, even if we can't become relatives, but at least we can meet each other." I hope we can become close friends again.”

Although he didn't understand why the king would say such words suddenly, he raised a gentle smile as if he was the first time seeing the king who was still a little prince.

On the second day, when he went to court, the king ruthlessly threw out evidence that he had murdered surrendered soldiers, mutilated lieutenants and soldiers, and had evidence of collaborating with the enemy, and ordered him to be quartered.He watched in amazement those things that had never been done at all proved to be true, almost never had he looked so shocked at the king sitting on the throne who told him yesterday that he was reluctant to part with him like a family member.

Zigui muttered to himself while packing his luggage.This time, she went out to her favorite brother Xiuwen's hometown to participate in the Spring Festival. As a result, the festival was deserted and many troublesome things happened.Her errand is almost comparable to that of the protagonist in a detective story. People die wherever they go, and she encounters ghosts wherever she goes.Although she was "appointed" by Hades last year to be responsible for cleaning up those ghosts stranded in the human world, but given her scope of activities, the number of ghosts she can meet is limited. She is the only errand now, and in the thousands of years of China's history, plus she has only two errands-she actually took such a job that is rarer than pandas.

The door was knocked twice, she turned her head, "Oh, Senior Brother Huangfu, can you get up?" Seeing Huangfu Lv standing at the door with a much better expression, she raised her voice and asked.Speaking of which, the trouble this time was mainly due to her senior brother Huangfu Lv, the vice president of the Yingying Association.Although she was also injured before, but thanks to her brother-in-law from the previous life who showed up and gave medicine, miraculously, she was alive and kicking the next day.

"...En." Huangfu Lv looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, and finally just nodded.

"It's fine." She didn't care, and continued, "I heard from Chu Xiu that you plan to destroy General Zining's body, but why do you need to use spells so much trouble? You even got yourself injured if you were not careful. If you want me to say, just bring gasoline into the tomb and set it on fire." Anyway, the other party is a corpse, so he won't feel it at all, but from an archaeological point of view, it is quite a pity.

Huangfu Lv smiled lightly.In fact, he seldom admires anyone, but Ning Zigui who is younger than him is one of them. For no reason, her indifferent and open-minded disposition is difficult for the Huangfu family to achieve. "I'll take your opinion into consideration, though it's a sin to burn a 2000-year-old tomb with a big barrel of gasoline," he said with a smile. "Are you planning to go home?"

"It's not that I plan to go home." She curled her lips in an airless manner, and said, "It's almost time for school to start, and I have to go back and prepare."

"Can I still have homework during the winter vacation of my junior year?" Huangfulu asked rhetorically.He also thought that there would be no homework for every major in S University.

"I have to hand in the practice report every semester, don't I?" She sighed, "Is collecting ghosts everywhere considered a social practice? Brother Huangfu, have you written your "work experience" into a practice report? "

Huangfulu replied indifferently: "What the school requires is a social practice report, not a novel about ghost stories."

She laughed. "By the way, Senior Brother Huangfu, isn't your family coming to pick you up? Can you give Chu Xiu and me a ride?" No way, it's a long way from the village where Senior Brother Xiuwen lives to the station.

"Of course." Huangfulu said generously.

"By the way, can I just ask who is here to pick you up? If it's your sixth uncle Huangfutuo again, it doesn't matter if I don't get a ride." She thanked the man indifferently.

"Heh." Huangfu Lu chuckled, and said, "Even if Uncle Six came, Junior Sister shouldn't be in trouble. After all, I still have a little influence when I speak in Huangfu's house. Uncle Six won't do anything to you."

"That's hard to say." She stuck out her tongue, "I can't stand that kind of unreasonable uncle the most."

Huangfulu was silent for a while, and said: "It's okay, at least I won't let Junior Sister you get hurt by the Huangfu family again."

"Ah...thank you." Maybe Senior Brother Huangfu remembered that the people from Huangfu's family cursed her.Thinking about it, not everyone in Huangfu's family is a gentleman, anyway, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

"You don't need to thank me." Huangfu Lv didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, he was still standing at the door, as if he still had something to say.

"Senior Brother Huangfu, is there anything else?" She couldn't stand Senior Brother Huangfu's "relative silence", and usually the atmosphere would become more and more serious under such circumstances—even if there was nothing wrong at all.

"Actually, there is something I should tell you..." Huangfu Lv's tone was hesitant.

"What's the matter?" Looking at Huangfu Lv's reaction, she thought to herself, Senior Brother Huangfu won't tell her, does he have any relatives who are against her?
Sighing, Huangfulu said, "Let's talk about it next time."

"Oh, good." She looked at Huangfulu inexplicably, and she didn't ask any more questions without any curiosity.

Huangfulu was about to go downstairs when he saw Chu Xiu leaning on the pillar at the top of the stairs, looking at him with a half-smile. "What's the matter?" His tone was very flat.This Chu Xiu has exactly the same face as his childhood sweetheart Xiuwen, but from the first time he saw him, he knew that the man with his familiar face in front of him was not a human being, but the little girl with an amazing backstage One of the rare and powerful magic props made by Huirong—of course, the little girl Huirong also belongs to the category of "non-human".He was just surprised how Zigui got such a precious prop.But when he guessed Zigui's identity, he felt that all this was reasonable.Chu Xiu, whose thinking is much more normal than Xiuwen, is much easier to communicate with than Xiuwen in the eyes of everyone, but Chu Xiu's overly keen insight and sharp words sometimes make him unable to resist.

"You don't want to tell Zigui that her favorite senior brother Xiuwen is your substitute, who is in charge of warding off disasters for you?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked.

To be honest, he really planned that just now, but it became difficult to say what he said.He didn't avoid Chu Xiu's gaze, but said, "Anyway, I didn't say anything, did I?"
