General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The butler Lao Tao heard Huo Changying calling him, and hurriedly put down his work.

Smiling, he took two steps forward and asked, "Girl, just ask, Lao Tao, I have been in the Duke's Mansion for many years, and I have never seen my son care so much about anyone, except for that little Huo family..." As soon as he exited the door, the old butler hurriedly kept silent, laughed and hahad twice, and looked sloppy.

Huo Changying's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes flickered. Seeing Lao Tao looking over, he just smiled and said nothing, as if he didn't hear the second half of Lao Tao's words.

Seeing that Huo Changying didn't seem to have heard it, Lao Tao smiled a little guiltyly and said, "The general told me that Miss Xijing doesn't like to be disturbed, so if you have anything to do, tell this old servant to do it."

Huo Changying replied politely, then asked with a smile: "Just now I saw that there are very few young women in the mansion, most of them are elderly servants or servants. Is there no one in the general's room on weekdays?"

This question was almost straightforward, but it obviously asked about the worries of the housekeeper, Lao Tao.

The old man sighed and said: "Who says it is not? In the early years, there were some maidservants in the mansion, and a matchmaker once came to the door to promise marriage, but since that incident happened nine years ago,

The old man lowered his head and sighed with sadness on his face, and suddenly fell silent as if he was caught by something. He raised his head to look at Huo Changying who was full of confusion, thought for a while, and then whispered: "Miss Chang is a foreigner, and she doesn't know the ways of Yong'an City. , some things can’t be mentioned, can’t be said, even if someone else leaks it, it’s right to pretend that they didn’t hear it.”

Seeing that Huo Changying was puzzled, Lao Tao gritted his teeth, moved closer and whispered in a low voice: "I don't fully know the inside story, but don't mention a word about the Huo family in Yushi Zhongcheng nine years ago."

Huo Changying frowned slightly, and gradually clenched his hands in his handcuffs, as if something flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it, only a little distress arose in his heart.

Looking sideways at the worried old housekeeper, Huo Changying said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Tao, little girl, you've made it down."

Seeing that Huo Changying knew what was interesting and didn't ask questions, the old butler's eyes were a little more relieved, and he continued, "After that, the son's temper changed drastically, he was cold and indifferent, and he lost the liveliness of a young man."

The old man said with a deep sigh, "Then one day, all the young maidservants in the mansion were dismissed suddenly, and the son of the world lost his temper with the Duke of the country."

"In addition, the son of the world is often on duty at the court. When the war is tense, he is often assigned by the emperor to go out. He will go away for a year or a half. He doesn't always live in the mansion."

As he said that, the old man sighed, "To be disrespectful, my son is a few years younger than Shi Ziye, and there are already two children. Alas... the old man is just such a son as Shi Ziye."

Glancing at the thoughtful Huo Changying, Tao Lao hurriedly slapped himself with a smile and said, "Look at me being so confused, what are you talking about with the girl?"

Huo Changying smiled, glanced at the confused old housekeeper, and whispered something in his ear, the old housekeeper's eyes lit up, he said "Young lady is kind" and then backed away.

In the inner room, there is a pot of wilted peonies on the table, which is the prototype of the flower demon.

What he and his master did was not to slay demons and slay demons like other cultivators. They only caught sinful demons, even if they captured those who had taken several lives like flower demons, they would disperse all their cultivation, return to chaos, and return to their original body. Practice again.

Just like what Master said, everything in the heavens is transformed into a spirit.

Huo Changying took out the small book in the sheepskin box, and crossed out the words Peony and Flower Demon.

Looking at the almost withered peony, Huo Changying sighed: "I don't know what your name is. Now that the thousand-year-old cultivation base has all disappeared, I have to start again. Your Lu Qing may have been reincarnated. Why bother to sacrifice all your cultivation base and be obsessed with it?" What about this life?"

After thinking for a while, he made some cultivation to the withered peony flower, but the peony flower drooped its leaves and refused to accept it. Huo Changying frowned, "You killed too many lives, even if you die, your soul will immediately disappear into the world and never see you again." To Lu Qing!"

The cultivation base in the palm crossed over, and the lifeless flower branch was lifted, and the head was raised again.

Huo Changying laughed angrily, "If you practice evil ways from now on, even if you meet Lu Qing again, it will be a different path. Your Lu Qing didn't even feel any resentment towards the refugees who will avenge their kindness. You can think of him as a bodhisattva."

He sighed, but he was resented for treating the refugees, and was bitten to death by the hungry and crazy refugees. He didn't turn into a ghost. If it were him, he would definitely be worse than a flower demon!

Huo Changying felt a little drowsy after the effect of the medicine he drank. With one hand resting on his forehead, he said slowly, "If you see the impermanence of black and white, I'll ask you, but don't ask you to be born in some temple as a little bald head." He yawned, " If someone from the Brahma Realm of the Western Heaven takes a fancy to it, you won't be able to dig it back."

He bent his long and slender fingers and flicked on the leaves. The peony flower, which had been wilting before, stood up straight and looked like a fight.

"Hehe, are you feeling refreshed now?"

Seeing that the peony was finally alive, Huo Changying curled his lips and smiled teasingly. He suddenly thought of something, propped his forehead, turned his eyes to the peony, and muttered leisurely: "A man really..." There will be such a deep affection. what?

The peony flower turned red immediately, and the flowers and leaves overlapped and hugged each other as if shy.

Seeing the peony flowers like this, Huo Changying chuckled lightly and flicked on the flower branches with his head slightly lowered, but he felt at ease in his heart.

Prince Zhaozong rebelled against Longyang, so it was taboo for the Great Yin Dynasty to cut off Longyang's sleeve from then on, and some people even confuse it with rebellion indiscriminately, so that all officials in the court were panicked.

Xiao Duo's chuckle this morning suddenly flashed before his eyes, and Huo Changying rubbed his throbbing forehead.

Even Eunuch Li in his previous life mentioned that in the history of Great Yin, there were capable ministers and good generals who were suspected by the emperor because of the Longyang incident and were finally executed, but Xiao Duo...

Huo Changying squinted his eyes, as if something quickly passed through his mind.

wow-

"Who!" Huo Changying woke up and straightened up, and asked.

"Girl, calm down," a coarse cloth servant woman turned out from behind the door, holding a food box, and lowered her head in horror, not daring to look at him, "I didn't stand still and knocked over the flower pot."

Huo Changying squinted his eyes for a while, then smiled and said, "It's okay, the bones are fragile in winter, so be careful, ma'am."

The terrified servant woman said yes again and again, quickly placed the food in the food box on the round table outside, and bowed to leave.

As soon as Fang stepped out of the door, Aunt Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest for relief.

She had just heard Miss Chang, whom the Master asked them to meet this morning, talking about "impermanence in black and white", "reincarnation", "cultivation" and so on. She was terrified when she heard it. What kind of woman did the Master find? Wouldn't it be someone who pretends to be a ghost and dances like a god? !

Aunt Li, who was still in shock, hurried back to the back kitchen, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't hold her breath.

So, Aunt Li who delivered the food told Aunt Zhang who picked the vegetables, Aunt Zhang told Uncle Li who came to deliver the food, and Uncle Li told his savage wife...

But in half a day, the storyteller had another anecdote that could be written. The storyteller, who was over half a century old, squinted his eyes and picked up a pen to write down the words "The general is sad about the beauty pass, because the beauty is extraordinary".

Zichen Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"I see the emperor!"

The emperor in the bright yellow embroidered golden dragon robe was writing with a pen behind the desk, and he was silent, as if concentrating on brushing his brush.

Xiao Duo knelt down silently.

After a long while, the emperor suddenly laughed, wrote a word and threw away the pen in his hand, took a look at the paperweight, couldn't help admiring and said with a smile: "The Longxiang ink sent by the prime minister is really extraordinary!" I appreciate it for a while and leave it to the waiting side servant.

A court lady immediately brought tea, the emperor glanced at the court lady with low brows, raised the teacup and blew on it, as if just remembering that there were people in the study, said slowly: "General Xiao, get up."

Xiao Duo got up, he caught a glimpse of the teacup held by the Emperor from the corner of his eye, and he knew it clearly, so he didn't speak a word.

"I heard that the old man is traveling all over the world. I don't know when I can ask Mr. Xiao about calligraphy." The emperor put down the teacup and didn't drink it, looking at Xiao Duo as usual.

Hearing this, Xiao Duo clasped his fists knowingly and bowed his body immediately and replied: "My father is free to do as he pleases, and the itinerary is as he likes, and he didn't deliver a letter to the minister." As he spoke, he tapped the back of his hand twice with his left finger.

The corner of the emperor's eyes flickered on Xiao Duo's fingers, his brows were slightly frowned, and his slender eyes flashed thoughtfully.
