For whom do you linger [The Loyal Dog Guard Shou]

He Lianqing and Luo Zheng didn't stay in the city after going down the mountain, they went back to the inn to pick up the horse packs and set foot on the road to Lingzhou.

There is also another person on the way to Lingzhou, and this person is his housekeeper——Luo Zhizhang.

It's just that Luo Zhizhang encountered some troubles temporarily.

He returned to Jincheng to sacrifice his mother. May [-]th was the anniversary of his mother's death. Since he fled Jincheng ten years ago, Luo Zhizhang never came back.

After getting rid of the hidden guards sent by He Lianqing in Chunliu City that day, he thought he would be free for a few days, but he didn't expect to see Wei Wu who was leaning on a willow tree waiting for him just after he left the Xiafu cemetery.

Afterwards, the dark guard, who had learned a lot from a ditch, didn't hide in the dark again, but followed Luo Zhizhang loudly, almost to the point of being inseparable.

Luo Zhizhang tried a few more times, but couldn't escape the sight of the "shameful" hidden guard, so he could only accept his fate in the end.

Let's call this—I am not benevolent and you are not righteous.

In the past few days, no matter whether it was eating or sleeping, or even taking a bath and going to the toilet and other private matters, the dark guard watched him unrelentingly.Luo Zhizhang had a very headache but could do nothing, every time he got to this point, he would feel that his five altars had been poured out for nothing by Helian, and he actually found such a rogue secret guard to follow him.

But Wei Wu didn't feel any inconvenience at all, and said to the person who used to always smile at the corner of his mouth, but now he often sighed with his hands on his forehead: "The housekeeper did his own crimes, and I just obeyed orders."

It means that if you don't try to escape several times, I don't want to stick to you all day.

Luo Zhizhang raised his hand and rubbed his chin that was a little stiff from laughing, and looked helplessly at the people blocking the door.

"The landlord asked you to follow me, not to let you put me under house arrest."

"It's time for the butler to go back to the villa."

The ten-day period has already passed, and if you want to talk about it, it is indeed time to go back.But even if he kept rushing back after finishing his work, it was absolutely impossible to return to Jiangnan within the time limit.

"The ten-day period has passed, and there is no way to explain it to the owner... Besides, the owner is not in the villa right now."

"It's the butler's own business that I can't explain it," Wei Wu said with an expression of nothing to do with himself, but his tone was very serious, "I am ordered to take the butler back."

It's just oily and salty!

For more than half an hour, Luo Zhizhang tried his best but failed to persuade Wei Wu, only talked about himself dryly.

Luo Zhizhang turned around and sat back at the table, picked up the emerald jade jug on the table, wanted to drink some wine to moisten his throat, but unexpectedly the jug was empty.

I can bear anything, but I can't bear without alcohol.

Luo Zhizhang put the jug back on the table as lightly as possible, adjusted his expression, and smiled.

"I'm thirsty, can I go downstairs and buy some wine?"

Wei Wu's eyes wandered back and forth between Luo Zhizhang and the jug on the table, and finally moved away from the door.

You can't make people faint from thirst and then transport them back in a carriage.

Luo Zhizhang didn't care about the people behind him, went to the restaurant and chose a table at random, lifted his clothes and sat down quietly, then ordered a few jars of apricot blossom wine from Xiao Er, and ordered some side dishes to accompany the wine , poured himself a drink very contentedly.

It's just that this pleasant feeling didn't last long.

Wei Wu, who was sitting on the bench opposite him, ruined the good atmosphere of the delicious food and wine as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The butler had better buy a few more jars of apricot flower wine, otherwise there will be nowhere to buy wine for you on the road."

In view of the current situation of fine wine, Luo Zhizhang didn't want to care about it, and just acted like he didn't hear it.

But the hidden guard who never winked in front of him didn't care, and just tried to persuade him.

"Although the owner of the villa is very tolerant to the housekeeper, he cannot tolerate anyone doing anything arbitrarily."

"Now that the time limit set by the owner has passed, the steward should go back to the villa as soon as possible to avoid irreparable mistakes."

"Wait until the butler is full..."

"Does the owner know how you left me with me a few days ago?" Luo Zhizhang took a sip of the wine, the pungent and mellow taste of the wine made him squint his eyes, and with that energy he frowned and asked .

Unexpectedly, the person who was immersed in drinking would suddenly make a sound, Wei Wu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking clearly about Luo Zhizhang's question, his face became a little more serious.

"Of course I know. I have already sent a letter to the guard Luo to report the mistakes I made to the owner of the villa."

"Will the owner spare you?" Luo Zhizhang asked back with a bit of revenge because he didn't even drink to make himself happy.

"...The mistakes I made, I will naturally bear them all!" Looking at the slightly smug butler opposite, Wei Wu frowned and replied, "When I bring the butler back to the villa, I will go to the punishment hall Get punished."

"Tsk, if you sincerely admit your mistake, you should have gone to the owner to receive the punishment as soon as possible." The person on the opposite side finally calmed down, a smile appeared in the corner of Luo Zhizhang's eyes, and he returned his attention to the fine wine in front of him.

Luo Zhizhang's questioning did have an effect, and Wei Wu didn't say a word for the next half hour.

After returning to the inn, the two found that a white pigeon had already landed on the window eaves, making cooing sounds from time to time.

Wei Wu took off the letter paper tied to the white pigeon's leg, and wrote: "Within seven days, Yanbi City in the eastern suburb of Lingzhou."

Go to Yanbi City to meet the owner.

Luo Zhizhang got what he wanted, and he returned to his smiling face, and followed Wei Wu on the road in a good mood.

The two arrived at the agreed place first, and did not wait until nightfall of the second day to come to He Lianqing.

Luo Zhizhang looked at the man leaning on the rattan couch with his eyes closed, and at Wei Wu who had been kneeling in the corner since entering the door, sighed lightly and continued drinking tea.

When he arrived at Yanbi City, Wei Wu personally sealed his five major acupoints, causing the meridians to be blocked and the true qi to flow backwards. Today is an apology.

Normally, the guards or servants in the villa made mistakes and were punished, but Luo Zhizhang never paid attention to it, there is no rule without rules, and he should be punished if he made a mistake.It's just that this time it has something to do with me, and I can't say anything about guilt, but I can't just look at the sweaty, pale man kneeling in front of me like that.

But the person on the seat cannot intercede, not to mention that he himself can be said to be "a body with guilt".

Rao is Luo Da's housekeeper Linglong Xinqiao, who doesn't know how to get out of the siege at this time.

A pot of herbal tea bottomed out, Luo Zhizhang finally couldn't hold back.

"Cough," he cleared his throat first, then called out after deliberation, "The owner..."

He Lianqing seemed to be asleep and didn't react at all. Luo Zheng, who was standing beside him, looked over instead, and told Luo Zhizhang with his eyes that the housekeeper had better shut up.

Luo Zhizhang shut his mouth in embarrassment, and another half an hour passed like this.

He Lianqing nodded and opened his eyes until Luo Zheng lowered his head and asked about the arrangement of the dinner, but he ignored the butler Luo who was sitting beside him.

Even though the owner didn't say a word, Luo Zhizhang could tell that his clear eyes were not tired at all, and it was more like venting his anger than closing his eyes for more than two hours.

Yu Weiwu was punished, and so was Yu Luozhizhang.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhizhang took a step forward and knelt down.

After ten years in the villa, thanks to He Lianqing's appreciation, the two of them were like friends most of the time, and the number of times they knelt down was very few.This time... not just for Wei Wu, but also for what I'm going to say next...

"Master." Luo Zhizhang raised his hands and cupped his fists, his face was rare and serious.

Only then did He Lianqing raise his eyes to look over, and said calmly: "What is the housekeeper doing?"

"It's the subordinate who made the mistake first, so I ask the owner to let Wei Wu go."

Hmph, pleading?

"Luming Villa does not leave useless waste." He Lianqing squinted his eyes, and the anger that had dissipated had a tendency to rekindle.

"But the owner of the villa has never cut off the lives of his subordinates because of the mistakes he has already made." Although He Lianqing's moods are changeable, he is by no means unreasonable, and Luo Zhizhang can see this clearly.

Helian Qing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and turned to the dark guard who had been kneeling silently.

"The housekeeper pleaded for you, did you hear that?"

"This subordinate is guilty." Wei Wu was a little surprised by Luo Zhizhang's actions, but he didn't mean to take the opportunity to escape punishment.

Glancing at the one who seldom kneels, He Lianqing sneered and curled the corners of his lips: "Go back and receive the punishment."

"Thank you, Lord."

That's the case at most, Luo Zhizhang smiled wryly, then kowtowed, there is one more important thing that has not been mentioned yet.

"Subordinates shouldn't get rid of the hidden guards and go back to Jincheng alone, and shouldn't miss the deadline." Luo Zhizhang paused for a moment, then frowned, "But this trip to Lingzhou, please be sure to allow your subordinates to go with you."

No matter how respectful these words were, it would be impossible to avoid the impoliteness and excess in them, but Luo Zhizhang was helpless.

"I beg the owner to agree..." It was still a hearty and clear voice, but now it was a little deep and depressed. Luo Zhizhang knocked three times in a low voice.

Jincheng Red Crane, the youngest son of Xiafu.

Looking at Luo Zhizhang, who was prostrating repeatedly, Helian rubbed the teacup in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
