Chapter 21 Leaving Pei County
"The guy next to him looks really white, look at that big white butt."

From time to time, laughter came from the crowd.

Only then did Xiaobai and Liu Bang realize that the villagers were laughing at them.

Liu Bang turned his head to look at Xiao Bai, and found that he was naked, so he turned his face away hastily.

It turns out that Xiaobai has the habit of sleeping naked, and he has maintained this habit since elementary school until now.

At this moment, Xiaobai also realized that he was standing naked in front of a group of people, and he was recognized and pointed at him.

Xiaobai wanted to die now, so he hurriedly found a piece of hay from the side and tied it around his waist.

"Why are you two here? Why did the temple suddenly catch fire?" the village head asked eagerly.

"We ran out of money recently, so we just found a place to make do with it. We didn't expect that there would be a sudden fire in the middle of the night. Xiaobai and I almost died here. Fortunately, we ran faster. Otherwise..." Liu Bang Looking at the village head innocently, he said.

"Someone must be playing tricks." Xiao Bai said with a resentful face.

"Alright, alright, let's go back first, report this matter to the government tomorrow, and then make a decision. It's getting late, everyone, go back to sleep."

The village chief said he was going to drive everyone away.

"Okay, the place we just found was burned, where are we going to live tonight?" Xiao Bai looked at Liu Bang.

"Let's go, my good brother! Brother, I know a good place to guarantee your satisfaction." Liu Bang patted Xiaobai's shoulder as he spoke.

Xiaobai followed Liu Bang around and around, and came to a haystack.

"My dear brother, what do you think of this place? When I was down and out, I stayed here for a while, not to mention how comfortable it is. You can lie down and try it."

Just as he was talking, Liu Bang pushed Xiaobai on the haystack.

"I said, brother, can people sleep in this place? Is there no lice?" Xiao Bai asked with a look of disgust.

"Don't worry, brother, can I still lie to you?" Liu Bang had already undressed while speaking, and started snoring again after a while.

Xiaobai looked at Liu Bang who was sleeping soundly. He had just experienced a fire and escaped from death. Xiaobai, who had been tossed for half the night, was also fighting with his upper and lower eyelids at this moment.

Not long after lying down, Xiao Bai felt extremely itchy all over his body, and kept scratching randomly with his hands.

"This Liu Bang also said that there are no lice here. Isn't that trying to deceive me?" Xiao Bai pinched a lice in his hand and stared angrily at Liu Bang who was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Bai didn't sleep well all night, he kept turning over and scratching the lice on his body.

After Xiao Hei finished all this, he returned to Lu Mansion.

As soon as he entered Lu's mansion, he met Lu Gong.

"Xianxu, it's so late, where have you been?" Lu Gong looked suspicious.

"Back to my father-in-law, I feel a little bored after staying in the house for too long, so I just went out to watch the Lantern Festival, and I went to relax." Xiao Hei replied.

"Xianxu, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Lu Gong beckoned and pulled Xiao Hei to a nearby study.

"Father-in-law, if you have anything to say, you may wish to speak directly."

Lu Gong first brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Hei.

"Although your marriage with Pheasant and Susu has been decided, there are some things I have to tell you."

"My son-in-law, you are old and young now, but you have never had a serious job. If this matter gets out, people outside will also discuss it."

It turns out that this is the case, this Lu Gong thinks that Xiao Hei is idle all day long, and has no serious job.

Now, the news that he married the two young ladies of the Lu family is also spreading.

People talked about that the son-in-law of the Lu family was just an idler without any official title.

"Father-in-law, your words are reasonable."

Xiao Hei nodded straightly when he heard the words.

"But don't worry, I'm also thinking about these two daughters and your future. After all, I'm too old to be with you for long. If you can have a job, I won't have to worry about you all the time."

The most important point, when Mr. Lu married a daughter, he would naturally marry the daughter to the man's family.

However, this Xiao Hei has no relatives, nor is he from a famous family.

"So, the old man specially put out a sum of money to let you choose a suitable place to build a mansion. What do you think?"

"Father-in-law is thoughtful, so I naturally have no opinion."

Xiao Hei thought for a while, now that Qin Shihuang had just pacified the world, there was a shortage of manpower around him.

Presumably, with Xiao Hei's ingenuity and ability, it would be no problem at all to get an official title in Xianyang Palace.

What's more, he has the God of War at the moment, no matter how bad he is, he can get a general position.

"Father-in-law, I will go to Xianyang Palace tomorrow to have a look. Now His Majesty is posting the imperial list and is recruiting talents. I will apply right away."

Xiao Hei was thinking.

The marriage had to be postponed before obtaining the official title.

After all, the Lu family is a famous family, no matter how bad it is, they will not let their daughter marry a white man.

"Application? What is an application?"

Hearing what Xiao Hei said, Lu Gong asked suspiciously.

"The so-called application is to take the imperial list and go to find a job. After the job is done, I will come back to marry Susu and Ji'er."

"So that's it. The old man believes that you will be able to find a good counselor. Susu and I are waiting for your good news."

That night, Xiao Hei packed up his things, picked up the package, and touched the tiger-shaped pendant on his chest, thinking about his plans after arriving in Xianyang Palace.

The night was getting dark, and Xiao Hei held a lamp in front of the window, writing down his next plan.

dong dong dong.

There was a soft knock on the door.

Xiao Hei got up and opened the door to see that it was Lu Su.

Lu Su's face was blushing, and she was still holding a purse in her hand.

"My lord, I embroidered this with my own hands. There are some soothing herbs in it. Take it with you, it will make you feel at peace."

While speaking, Lu Su lowered her head shyly, never daring to look up at Xiao Hei.

"Thank you, Susu."

Xiao Hei accepted the purse.

Thinking about it, I remembered the next day's itinerary.

"Susu, starting tomorrow, I'm going to Xianyang to seek an errand."

When Su Su heard this, she raised her eyes in surprise.

"What are you going to Xianyang for? Did my father order you to go?"

"Of course not, but your father's words are reasonable. Before I marry you, if you don't have a serious job, it will affect your Lu family's reputation after all."

Xiao Hei rubbed Susu's beautiful hair and said with a smile.

"So it is."

Su Su said in a low voice.

He never expected that this seemingly weak woman would make such a bold decision when she learned that her future husband was leaving Pei County for Xianyang.

The next day, Xiao Hei quietly left Lu's Mansion with a simple bag on his back before dawn.
