wake up from dream

Ziqing packed up her things and was ready to go on the road. Rong Ruo planned to send Ziqing to a safe place and then go back to Kangxi to continue her errands. The atmosphere along the way was a bit sad and dull.Zi Qing and Rong Ruo sat in the carriage, hugging each other tightly.

"Qing'er, take good care of yourself after you go, and leave the other things to me." Rong Ruo said with her chin resting on Zi Qing's head.

"I see, you too, your cold disease...don't let it happen again, Uncle Hu said, it will be very dangerous."

"I see. Don't worry about me..."

"Well, by the way, is Liang'er okay? How did I hear that you left him after throwing him to Qier?" Zi Qing looked up at Rong Ruo dissatisfied.

"I... I'm sorry, Qing'er, Liang'er is our child, you were not here a while ago, whenever I see Liang'er, I don't consciously think of you... It's my father's fault..." Rong Ruo felt in his heart Already full of shame, he shouldn't pass on the pain of losing his wife to his child. Fortunately, the child is still young and there is still time...

"Okay, I get it..." Zi Qing couldn't bear to listen any longer, she didn't intend to criticize Rong Ruo, but seeing Rong Ruo feel so guilty, she felt uncomfortable inside.

"Qing'er, I will take good care of Liang'er, don't worry!"

"If you have a chance, bring Liang'er to see me. I haven't seen him for a long time." Zi Qing's tone was full of regret, her child hadn't seen her for a while, and she separated early...

"My mother named Liang'er, Fulton." Rong Ruo said.

"Fulton?" Isn't this Fulton who lived to the reign of Qianlong?Fortunately, Hailiang changed her name to Fulton...Zi Qing was delighted from the bottom of her heart. She was worried that Hailiang would die early, but now it seems that not only will she not, but she will live a very good life.

"Qing'er also likes this name?" Rong Ruo said seeing the smile on Zi Qing's face.

"Well, I like it very much, it sounds very good!" Ziqing admitted generously.

When they arrived at the place, Rong Ruo and Zi Qing got off the carriage one after another, Rong Ruo held Zi Qing's hand for a long time and refused to let go.

"Poison ghost? Why are you here so early?" After entering the house, he found that the poison ghost was already sitting in the room, drinking hot tea leisurely.

"My place, is it strange that I'm here so early?" The poisonous ghost replied, and then smiled so brightly.

"Poison ghost, Qing'er will ask you to take care of her from now on." Rong Ruo bowed to the poison ghost.

"You're welcome, but she is your wife, so you have to take care of her yourself!" The poisonous ghost joked.

"That's natural. It's just that I'm going to trouble you during this time." Knowing that the poisonous ghost didn't have any malicious intentions, Rong Ruo said with a smile.

"Okay, Rong Ruo, let's go back!" Seeing that everything was packed, Luo didn't want to delay the time to go back, and it was inconvenient to stay in this place.

"Okay." Rong Ruo looked at Zi Qing, and for a moment really wanted to stay here without thinking about anything, but he couldn't, with so many lives in the Ming Mansion, he couldn't do it rashly, he had never been like this before Do the qualifications, and will not do so.

"Take good care of yourself..." Zi Qing chased Rong Ruo out, eyes full of reluctance.

"You too..." Rong Ruo looked at Zi Qing. At this moment, he had a lot of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word. In the end, he just said "I'm leaving." Then he got on the horse and galloped and go...

Ziqing stood there, watching that horse, that person, gradually changed from a clear figure to a blurry dot, and then disappeared...

"Go back to the house, you have to experience these things before you can grow." The poisonous ghost leaned against the door and said to Ziqing.

"Thank you, poisonous ghost!" Zi Qing spread out a smile, which contained gratitude, touch, and the sadness of the parting just now.

"Why are you being polite?" The poisonous ghost turned and entered the house.

"What is this place?"

"Look at the north of this house. There is a desert. Generally, no one can come out from there. Don't worry. I have sent people to guard the other directions. If outsiders enter, someone will come and take you away. , this token is for you, if you encounter an emergency, you can use it to order those people." The poisonous ghost took out the token that Chen Xue wanted.

"Isn't this token the one that Chen Xue wants? If you get it, you will be in charge?" Zi Qing wondered, what did the poisonous ghost seem to be drinking?

"My face represents a token, you can take this one, and I will order those people to come and see you, so that you won't be frightened when the time comes." The poisonous ghost said with a smile. There is a teasing color.

"Scared me? As long as he has no malicious intentions, he won't scare me!" Seeing that the poisonous ghost underestimated her, Ziqing said unconvinced.

"It's fine if you don't!" The poisonous ghost smiled more, as if to say, when you see them, I'd like to see if I'm scared...

The poisonous ghost left, leaving behind Ziqing and the maid from that day.Ziqing didn't have much to say to that maidservant, when she was bored, she just looked at the books on the poisonous ghost's bookshelf, the poisonous ghost looked at a variety of books, everything, martial arts cheats, astronomy and geography, and the strangest thing was books about food, It seems that this poisonous ghost is still a petty bourgeoisie, but his life is more enjoyable than petty bourgeoisie!

"Sister, are these books belonged to poisonous ghosts?" Zi Qing picked up a book about martial arts and asked.

"Yes, Master."

"Why do you call me master? Don't you always call me girl?" Thinking about asking Shumei to call her name at the beginning, she refused in a daze, and finally changed her name to "Miss Ziqing". "Yes?

"Once the master has the token, he is the master." Shumei said.

"Token? This is lent to me by the poisonous ghost, not for me." Zi Qing explained, this oolong is a big mess.

"The token is the token of the head of the family, and the person who owns the token is the head of the family, so the master is now our master." Shu Mei knelt down after saying that.

"You guys?" Before Zi Qing could react, four men dressed as killers knelt side by side at the door, and then shouted in unison: "See the new master."

"You... this is..." Mistake, I am not your new master, get up quickly! "Zi Qing looked at the four people kneeling in front of the door, and really didn't know what to do.

"Master, there is no mistake in this matter. The one who gets the token is our master." A man said, his whole face looked very resolute, his eyes were very firm, neither humble nor overbearing.

"But the poisonous ghost... that's not what he told me..." Ziqing absolutely can't take over such an organization, let alone working against Kangxi, and she knows the history, history can't go backwards...

"Master, this is a letter from the previous master to the master." The man handed over a letter.

After Ziqing took it, she hurriedly opened it, "Ziqing, when you discovered my poisonous ghost's plot, it was already too late... As for the poisonous ghost, I have already traveled the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty, and I will hand over the Jumao Villa to you. It's none of my business to do anything..."

There are only a few words in my heart, but I have made it clear that Ziqing was "sold" by the poisonous ghost, and she actually gave this organization to herself...

"That...you all get up!" Zi Qing watched them still kneeling, so it was not good to keep watching.

"If the master doesn't take over the Jumao Villa, we won't be able to kneel down!" They said in unison.

"Okay, let me think about it before I talk, you guys get up first." Zi Qing wondered.

"If the master doesn't take over the Jumao Villa, we won't be able to kneel down!" They said again.

What should I do now?What on earth is this poisonous ghost going to do?Ziqing stood in front of the door, thinking hard, and after a long time she had no choice but to agree to become their new master.

"Thank you master." They were all in one mind, and when they heard that Ziqing agreed, they thanked each other and stood up.

"What are your names?"

"The subordinate is Chi." It was the resolute looking man.

"Subordinates are charms."

"The subordinate is a sprite."

"The subordinate is Ling."

"魑魔魔鬼?" Is it the name given by the poisonous ghost?

"Return to the master, that's right." The four clenched their fists and said.

"Are you all in charge of something?" Ziqing guessed that there were only four people coming, so the four people's positions should be relatively high.

"Master, the subordinates are in charge of all the killers in the villa, and they are responsible for the assassination tasks or protection tasks." Chi said.

"Master, this subordinate is in charge of the business relations between pawnshops and restaurants across the country."

"Master, this subordinate is in charge of buying and selling brothels."

"Master, this subordinate is responsible for intelligence collection."

The four spoke in turn about what they were responsible for.

"Well, I see..." Ziqing thought for a while, and Chen Xue had always wanted to be the head of the family, "Luo, you are collecting information, I want to ask if you can find out the details of Chen Xue's parents. cause of death?"

"Return to the master, the subordinates need some time to check."

"It's okay, you go and check it, and tell me when you find it."

"Yes, Master."

"Master, this is Shadow Fire. If Master needs us for anything, just press the eagle head on Shadow Fire." Chi took out a bracelet and handed it to Zi Qing.The bracelet is silver, with an eagle's head dotted on it, the workmanship is very fine, and the eagle's eyes look very sharp, as if it is about to grab something borrowed from it.

"Okay, I see. You guys should step back first. If there is something else, I will come to you again."

"Yes, master." The four said, and then ran towards four different directions.

"Shumei, what is your position?" Zi Qing asked after returning to the room.

"Master, Shumei is just a maid."

"No way, I don't think you're an ordinary maid?" Zi Qing could see from Shumei's footsteps that Shumei had learned martial arts, and her martial arts skills should not be bad

"The master means..." Shumei wondered what was unusual about what Zi Qing was referring to.

"Do you know martial arts?"

"Yes, master. Every servant in the village knows a little bit of kung fu, and those with better kung fu will be selected as killers, and the others will be assigned tasks according to the level of kung fu."

"So that's the case, but your kung fu should be pretty good, right?" Although Zi Qing didn't know much about this aspect, she couldn't possibly be a maid with her temperament.

"The book eyebrow is specially sent by the poisonous ghost to take care of and protect the master."

"The poisonous ghost specially sent it? Then you used to be..."

"Shu Mei is the killer of Chi's subordinates."

"Wouldn't it be wrong to ask you to be a servant girl?" Although Zi Qing said so in her words, she thought in her heart that it would be a pity for such a woman to be a killer, and it would be better to live a simple life.

"Shu Mei dare not, this is the task of Shu Mei."

Ziqing's life began to change again. Ziqing has been waiting for Rong Ruo's arrival for the past few days, but Rongruo was probably caught by Kangxi just after returning. Ziqing actually expected it a long time ago. It can be said that it is within her expectations.In addition to waiting for Rong Ruo, Ziqing also began to understand the work under the position of head. Every day, ghosts and monsters would report their work on time, and then ask for some questions that need Ziqing's decision...
