C138 Keep a Record
"What's the point of pretending?"
Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and helplessly sat on the chair beside him. He was barefooted. He simply sat cross-legged on the chair and took a sip of tea before sighing.
Qiao'er turned around and blushed. She looked a little charming.
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly shook his head and asked, "Why... did you become like this? Remember yesterday, before going to sleep, you went to accompany the eunuch."
Qiao'er smiled and said, "Is it the pavilion elder?"
"There are no outsiders. Don't you know his identity?"
Qiao'er sighed and said, "He often comes here to take care of us. All these years, it was all thanks to him that we were able to live with some dignity."
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "So, he didn't just come here to play?"
Qiao'er said, "The pavilion master said that we are all rootless duckweed. No matter what status we have, we are still rootless duckweed. Whether he is a eunuch or not, whether this place is the best Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Qin Country or not, we are, after all, of the lower nine grades. Those who are unaffiliated have no one to depend on. We can only snuggle up to each other to keep each other warm. He holds a high position and takes care of us. For so many years, there were too many people who were jealous of the business in Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Without his help, we would have been bullied to death long ago."
Xiao Yun nodded and said," Previously, I was thinking that the Drunken Immortal Restaurant must have the support of some big shot in the dynasty, but I never guessed whose business it belonged to. I thought it belonged to Zhao family, but I didn't think it was like that. "
Qiao'er sighed and said, "Zhao family is a prestigious school of books. Why would it have anything to do with lowly people like us?"
"Lowly people can't be lowly. I can't judge this kind of thing, and I don't have the right to do so."
Xiao Yun sighed.
No matter which world it was, there were always two types of people with the lowest status.
Men killed women and prostitution!
Those who took people's lives, and those who sold their flesh, were always the lowest and least respected occupations.
They are even ranked below beggars.
Therefore, it was not modest for Xiao Yun to say that he was not qualified to judge.
His status in this life did not represent the temperament in his bones.
An assassin was an assassin. How could a few decades of experience be erased and replaced by a new life in less than a year?
Even before he went to sleep, he felt that he should make a trip to the Zhao family.
Since the Zhao family was going to fight him to the death, he might as well make use of the assassin's ability to slaughter his entire family.
Once it was over, everything would be over.
This was the thing in his bone structure.
Nature and so on.
Principles of handling matters and methods of handling matters.
There were simple methods that he was proficient in, and he didn't like to use some complicated methods that others used.
This was very normal.
But when he had enough rest, he didn't want to do it again.
In this unfamiliar world, on one hand, he exposed his talents and abilities, and on the other, he was also causing trouble.
These two things needed to maintain an extremely good balance.
Only then could the people above, or rather, His Majesty, not think that he was a huge threat and directly deal with him.
To this kind of imperial power world, maintaining stability was the core. His Majesty could abandon the development of Great Qin Country, or he could bear the decline and ruin, but he could not tolerate the existence of someone who was qualified to challenge his status!
Xiao Yun's current situation was also very strange.
The emergence of a Saint Grade was a problem for him for his entire life.
If he were to rush for quick success, coupled with the position of a Sage, and create the words of a Sage, then he would have countless believers. It would be a kind of "shapeshifting" religion. If he wanted to do something that was extremely heinous, he would really have a chance.
And the most important thing in His Majesty's life was to kill these fellows in the cradle!
So he caused trouble not only because he liked it.
It was because he needed it!
Including the night he spent in Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
This was the eunuch's suggestion, not only because he wanted Xiao Yun to have a better resting environment, but also because... he needed it!
Just from the eunuch's arrangement, Xiao Yun knew that he was on his side.
Especially since Qiao'er had said such a thing in front of him, saying that there was a connection between the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and the Great Eunuch... This was actually a secret matter that couldn't be told to outsiders.
If she said it, it meant that Xiao Yun was no longer an outsider!
After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Yun could not help but be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He originally wanted to get support from senior officials like Elder Leng, who could influence the world.
But he did not expect that the first official to offer an olive branch was actually the eunuch.
The waters of the capital were too deep and complicated. If one wanted to survive here, not only would they have to take every step they took, it was also very important to fish in troubled waters.
Xiao Yun nodded his head and did not express his stance.
This made Qiao'er slightly disappointed, but she did not say anything.
"You still haven't told me why you slept beside me. Was it arranged by the eunuch?"
Xiao Yun used a question to break the awkwardness, but this question clearly made the atmosphere even more awkward.
Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, then she felt wronged, as if she had been bullied.
Xiao Yun could not bear to see the little girl like this, as if he had done something wrong, so he said, "That... What happened? I didn't do anything yesterday, right?"
Qiao'er gritted her teeth and said, "This is the room Young Master Xiao chose."
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I passed by here yesterday and felt that this guest room is not bad. It is very clean, especially this kind of faint fragrance that I like very much. Actually, I don't really like that special fragrance. It's the best when it's just right. "
Qiao'er said, "This is not a guest room. This is originally this servant's room."
"Uh..."
This time, Xiao Yun understood!
If it was the Xiao Yun in the past, he would naturally know that this was Qiao'er's room. He had specifically asked Qiao'er to stay here, which was actually to let Qiao'er accompany him. She had also done it, and was obediently lying beside him.
But the current Xiao Yun did not know!
This had instantly become a misunderstanding.
Of course, people would think that he wanted her, but in the end, he didn't admit it when he woke up in the morning, and directly pretended to be stupid.
Xiao Yun's thoughts were even simpler.
He just wanted to find a good room and sleep well!
No wonder Shangguan Qing'er and Qiao'er were not here. They probably thought the same thing and went to avoid arousing suspicion...
Awkward.
It was so embarrassing!
...
On the other hand, there were also some who felt awkward.
Leng Yueling did not know whether to laugh or cry as she heard Eldest Imperial Princess continuously say that she was going to go all out.
The content of her words was, of course, Xiao Yun's mischievous actions.
The most important thing was that he stayed in Drunken Immortal Restaurant at night.
To say that he was a young master of flowers, he was definitely not a good person and could not be entrusted.
The meaning in his words was to tell Leng Yueling not to think about him!
Leng Yueling was naturally embarrassed to death. On one hand, her intentions were actually seen through by others. On the other hand, the man that she acknowledged seemed to have done some inappropriate things.
"After all, Young Master Xiao is young and hot-tempered, and has been locked up for a long time. Now that he has finally come out, it is normal for him to go to Drunken Immortal Restaurant to have some fun."
"You!"
Hearing Leng Yueling's words, Eldest Imperial Princess was so angry that she went crazy. She stood up and shouted, "What do you think? You are indulging! This group of stinky men were spoiled by a woman like you!"
Leng Yueling only smiled bitterly and did not know how to refute.
Originally, her character was not good at arguing. Whatever other people said was good.
Of course, this did not affect her principles of doing things.
Eldest Imperial Princess was furious.
But the degree of her anger was definitely not as intense as her father's.
"This damn kid!"
His Majesty had just woken up in the morning when he heard the eunuch tell him everything that had happened in Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Only then did his good mood disappear in an instant.
To be honest, after resolving such a huge matter last night, the locust plague had actually turned into a meat patty. He was naturally very happy that such a miraculous thing had happened to him.
The locust plague existed in every era, appearing once every few years.
Not to mention the fact that his predecessors were unable to manage it, even if it went on for a few thousand years, there was nothing the sages could do about it.
And now, he had a solution!
The credit belonged to the royal family. Although the method was counted on Eldest Imperial Princess, the entire merit had to be remembered by His Majesty and left in the annals of history!
That degree of happiness was like a child getting his favorite toy.
In the first half of the night, he was so excited that he could not sleep. In the second half of the night, he slept well.
When he woke up early in the morning, he was full of energy!
In the end, Xiao Yun made such a fuss.
