Huai Zhen asked again: "In the past three years, you have managed the Hou Mansion by yourself?"

Song He said truthfully: "The servants in the mansion have all been dismissed, and I am the only one guarding this mansion."

"You are faithful."

"The Hou Mansion has a great favor for me. This old slave will live and die with the Hou Mansion in this life."

Huai Zhen guessed that it was nothing more than a grace to save his life, and he didn't ask carefully, but said: "People's energy is limited, and it is impossible for you to manage such a huge Hou's mansion so carefully."

Song He said: "The surrounding people often come to help when they are free."

Huai Zhen understood: "No wonder, no wonder there is not even a dead leaf in this mansion."

Song He: "For the past three years, the Hou Mansion has relied on the support and help of the common people to survive."

"The people are so partial to the Chu family, it is reasonable for the Wei family to be jealous. It is a pity, if three years ago, Chu Shao could rise up, turn against Wei Yong, and become emperor himself." Huai Zhen said, "It is estimated that today's Nanqi, It won't fall into Zhongqin's hands."

At this time, there was a sudden clank of a sharp blade being unsheathed from the back room, Huai Zhen reacted quickly, and immediately dodged into the room, only to see Chu Shao holding a silver dagger and slowly pulling the blade out of the silver sheath.

Seeing that he was not attacked, even Huaizhen himself didn't realize it, he was relieved.

Song He also rushed over, seeing that there was no assassin in the house, and Chu Shao was unscathed, so he was relieved.

"I found a knife." Chu Shao didn't know the mood changes of the two people in front of him. He held this light dagger and felt it was very convenient. More importantly, it was the only weapon he could lift. .

Huai Zhen thought of the bone-piercing wounds in his hands, so he shouldn't be able to lift any swords.

He stepped forward to take the dagger, and after weighing it, it was more than twice as light as a normal dagger.

The handle of the dagger is made of Hetian white jade. The jade is fine and smooth, and the tentacles are warmed up. *

He touched the blade with his fingertips, it was as thin as paper, with the blade facing upwards, he dropped a strand of hair, and it turned out to be shaved like mud.

Such a powerful dagger weighs almost as much as a thin book. Not only can Chu Shao lift it up, but he can even easily hurt people with it.

"This is the 10th birthday gift from Lord Hou to the second son." Song He stepped forward and said, "A 10-year-old child can only lift a weapon of this weight. This dagger is the best craftsman hired by Lord Hou. Forged in one year, the blade is made of special black iron, the only one in the world."

Huai Zhen marveled at the workmanship and power of this dagger.Although the dagger is light, it carries Xian An Ninghou's heavy love for Chu Shao.

"Since it's a birthday gift, I'd better put it back." Although Chu Shao liked this dagger very much, he didn't want to take it away from others, but Song He said, "It's okay! If you like it, young master, keep the dagger by your side. Self-defense is also good."

He knew that both of Chu Shao's hands had been crippled by Wei Yong, and he was unable to use all the kung fu he had practiced since he was a child, so it would be good to even bring a dagger that could be lifted for self-defense!

If Chu Shao had had such a dagger in his hand, at least it would have killed Wei Yong, so why was he humiliated for three years?

Song He secretly thought, if this Yu Wang is also untrustworthy, at least the second young master can end up with one blow, and it would be better than suffering again.

The kindness is hard to give up, so Chu Shao had no choice but to accept the dagger and put it in his arms solemnly.

In the back room there are many objects that he loved when he was young, all of which are very well preserved. The aristocrat of the Hou Mansion, any bamboo dragonfly that he used to play with is so lifelike that it can be called a handicraft.

Even the current Chu Shao couldn't help playing with these small objects one by one.

While Chu Shao was distracted, Song He bowed to King Yu, Huai Zhen saw that he had something to say, so he went back to the outer room, but Song He walked to the door, bowed his head and nodded: "My lord, please move to the small courtyard .”

Huai Zhen guessed that the matter should have something to do with Chu Shao, so he followed him to the edge of the bamboo forest in the yard, which happened to avoid all the windows in the house, so Chu Shao would not see anything, let alone hear anything.

"Please forgive me, my lord." Song He suddenly knelt down on his knees, knocked his head on the ground, and knelt at Huaizhen's feet, "When the old master passed away, he always remembered the nickname of the second son. He passed away for three years. The young master has never even seen the memorial tablet of the Marquis, so this old slave begs the lord to show mercy and let him go to the ancestral hall to pay homage, even offering incense sticks is fine!"

"..." Huaizhen frowned.

The old Hou Ye fought hard for Chu Shao's posthumous title in the court, but Wei Yong was so angry that he vomited blood in the hall, and died of hatred that night when he was carried back to the Hou's mansion.

Chu Shao did not see his father for the last time, if he was sane, this must be the thing he regrets the most.

If you can go to the ancestral hall to worship and offer incense, it can be considered as a solution to Chu Shao's heart knot and the old master's last wish.

This is not something that cannot be done, and Song He is so humble, Huai Zhen should have agreed, but what he said was:

"No."

If Chu Shao hadn't been infected by a gu, he would never stop him from going to Chu's ancestral hall to fulfill his filial piety.

But now Chu Shao's memory is lost, and he believes Huaizhen's rhetoric again, thinking that he is from the Chu family in Suizhou, Zhongqin. Series deployment.

If he was allowed to go to the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion at this time, he would definitely be suspicious.

According to the etiquette of the clan, people who are not members of the family are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall without authorization, kneel down and offer incense. If Chu Shao is allowed to worship in the ancestral hall of the Marquis Mansion, isn't that telling Chu Shao that he is actually from the Nanqi Chu family?

Once Chu Shao learns his true identity, the prosperity situation that Huaizhen used him to get today will be completely overturned.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Chu Shao can calm down the hearts of the people, and naturally he can disrupt Nanqi again with a single sentence.

Huai Zhen even believed that as long as Chu Shao had the heart, he stood on the tower and shouted, and the people of Nanqi could embrace him as emperor immediately.

Even with Love Gu, he can't guarantee that he can completely control Chu Shao.

What happened on the day of painting the boat had already let him know that even if Chu Shao was hit by a gu, he still kept some kind of bottom line. Perhaps one of the bottom lines was Nanqi?

Huai Zhen didn't dare to bet.

He reiterated without hesitation: "Chu Shao must never enter the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion."

"Why!!" Song He raised his head from the ground, eager and puzzled: "I just want the second son to show his filial piety to the old Hou Ye and his wife! The prince also has parents, don't you have any empathy? !?"

"You are presumptuous." Huai Zhen was sullen, "How can you be worthy of mentioning my parents?!"

Song He risked his life and remonstrated: "My lord took the second son to play around these few days, and the people in the city resigned to their fate to open the market for Chu Shao. In just two months, you have taken Nanqi as a whole, and when you return to Zhongqin , the crown prince is in your pocket."

"My lord is proud of the spring breeze now, why won't you show some kindness to Chu Shao? Don't forget, without Chu Shao's help, Nanqi is still a dead city now! What achievements can you say!"

Huaizhen said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. It is his honor that Chu Shao Yu Gu can be used, and it is also the honor of the Anning Houfu. If there is no Gu, he will die the day he jumps from the tower. It was Gu who saved his life and unlocked the chains that locked him for three years, but now you come to accuse Gu of not being kind to him?! Since you have the guts, why didn't you criticize Wei Yong who treated him harshly that day!"

Literally condemning every word, Song He felt ashamed and remorseful for his incompetence in the past: "My lord has great kindness to Chu Shao, but the things you have done in the past two months are also great enmity to Chu Shao!"

"Second Young Master, I watched him grow up. He is definitely not a man who can be manipulated by others. I don't know what you did to Second Young Master to make him look so innocent and ignorant. I dare not expose it in front of Second Young Master. his identity."

Song He's eyes quenched his powerless hatred towards Huai Zhen, and he said firmly: "But I want to remind the prince that one day, if Chu Shao remembers that you used him to break the backs of the people in his mother country and prevent him from worshiping his parents, The dagger in his hand will surely pierce the prince's heart!"

The sharp bamboo leaves rustled in the wind like swords clashing.

Huai Zhen stood in the shadow, Song He knelt in the sun, and the two fell into silence until the sound of brisk footsteps came.

Song He stood up from the ground in a panic, Huai Zhen also suppressed his dark face, as if everything was as usual.

"How did you come here?"

Chu Shao leaned out from the corner, and ran to Huaizhen's side in small steps.

The turbulent anger in King Yu's eyes subsided like an ebb, and when he looked at Chu Shao, he was still as gentle as today's spring breeze.

"Let me take a look at these bamboos."

He gave an answer very naturally, and Chu Shao had no doubts about him.

Song He noticed that when Huaizhen talked to Chu Shao, he always only called "I", not "Gu" with the majesty of the prince.

"What's so good about bamboo?" Chu Shao walked to a few bamboos, saw that the bamboos were tall and straight, with strong branches, lush branches and leaves, and could smell the fragrance of bamboo leaves. He felt hungry after smelling it. Turning to look at Huaizhen, he rubbed his stomach embarrassingly, "I kind of want to eat rice in bamboo tubes."

"..." Huaizhen still had those few peach blossoms hidden in his bosom, and he said, "Then why don't you chop a ready-made bamboo and take it back?"

Chu Shao shook his head quickly: "No." He walked to Huaizhen, pulled his sleeve and whispered, "This is not at home, how can I take whatever I want."

He had seen a lot of things he liked in the back room just now, but he didn't intend to tell them. He always felt that if he expressed his liking, then Uncle Song would definitely give it to him.

"After all, this is the relic of the second son of the Hou's Mansion. He must keep it in his mind. If we look at one like this and take one away, we may have to evacuate this small courtyard."

"It's okay, the whole Qizhou City is mine, you can take whatever you like."

Nanqi was defeated. It stands to reason that everything in this city fell into the hands of Huaizhen, and the Nangong belonged to him, let alone a mere Marquis Mansion?

Before Song He recovered from his grief and hatred, he forgot to express his opinion.

In fact, these bamboos were planted by Mrs. Chu Shao in the courtyard on the day Chu Shao was born. This bamboo forest is the same age as Chu Shao.

But now that he is by Huaizhen's side, the first thing he thinks of when he sees bamboo is to eat rice in bamboo tubes!

Huai Jiugu, this Bing Lu Zi, has done a lot of harm to people! !

"I've been out for a long time, let's go back." Huai Zhen didn't plan to stay here for a long time, and Chu Shao was indeed hungry. He said goodbye to Song He with a smile, and noticed that there were two obvious circles of dust on Song He's knees, like Just kneeling on the floor, he felt a little weird in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

Song He knew that King Yu's heart was as hard as iron, and he didn't dare to ask for anything more for Chu Shao's safety.

Huaizhen has a photographic memory. When entering the mansion, he still needs Chu Shao to lead the way, and when he leaves the mansion, he can memorize all the routes. He took Chu Shao through several corridors, and when he walked to the periphery of the garden, he suddenly felt something in his heart. took a look.

Through the progressive door openings and the entangled tree branches, he vaguely saw a plaque with the word "ancestral hall" written on it.

As long as he changes his mind a little bit, Chu Shao, who has been separated from his parents for three years, can enter this ancestral hall to worship and offer incense, fulfilling a wish of the old Hou Ye and his wife before they died.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing him standing still, Chu Shao followed his line of sight, and he only saw a tightly closed carved and hollowed-out wooden door.

"Nothing, let's go."

Huaizhen pulled Chu Shao away from the location of the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion. Chu Shao was ignorant and didn't even know what was inside that door, but he turned his head three times, as if he had left something important, but his mind was always It was blank, and I couldn't remember what I had lost.
