Eunuch Li took the money bag and weighed it. Although Hu Yingmao said it was just a little tea money, the weight inside was not light at all. The smile on Eunuch Li's face immediately grew and he put the money bag in his sleeve. middle.
"Master Hu is so polite." Eunuch Li accepted the tea money, swallowed his words of congratulations, and comforted him: "At least he has been promoted. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Master Hu can use his talents to the best of his ability."
Hu Yingmao felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He pinned his head to the waist of his trousers and told Xiao Mubai the truth. It was better for Xiao Mubai to lie to him that he would be promoted, but in the end he was thrown into a den of wolves and tigers.
Hu Yingmao had been happily speculating these days as to which unlucky guy from Beijing would be transferred to Wanzhou, but it turned out that the clown was himself...
Seeing that the smile on his face was uglier than crying, Eunuch Li couldn't stay any longer in Dali Temple. He bowed and left. When he walked to the door, he thought about it and stopped. He looked back and reminded him: "Hu Sir, you'd better hurry up and pack your bags, the emperor's decree is to set off immediately..."
Hu Yingmao looked at Eunuch Li's leaving figure, twitched the corner of his mouth, and covered his chest. His last words stung his already extremely fragile heart again...
Ji Yong stood aside and saw him clutching his chest with a painful expression. He gave him a hand and asked softly: "Sir, should we go back to the house to take care of things now?"
Hu Yingmao finally found someone who could speak loudly. He threw his hand away and said angrily: "You won't accept it? Can you still resist the order?"
Ji Yong nodded frequently, greased the soles of his feet and went to prepare the carriage, leaving Hu Yingmao cursing and walking slowly behind. It wasn't until Ji Yong drove Hu Yingmao out of Dali Temple in a carriage that Han Hong, who was hiding aside, appeared.
After Xiao Mubai left the palace, he directly asked him to go to Dali Temple to guard Hu Yingmao. When he took the order, he returned to the palace to resume his life.
Therefore, Hu Yingmao's dramatic expressions all fell into Han Hong's eyes. Han Hong kept hiding his smile in the dark, his face turning red.
At this time, he stood on the street corner watching the disappearing figure of the carriage, and finally he was able to laugh out loud...
In Prince Mo's Mansion, Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu were playing chess. Han Hong returned to the Prince's Mansion and went to the pavilion to resume his duties. He just saluted and called "Prince" when Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand to signal him to stop.
Han Hong had no choice but to wait aside, while Xiao Mubai focused on looking at the chessboard and thinking.
The game of chess he played with Xia Chu in King Mo's camp ended in a draw. Although he had never underestimated Xia Chu, he felt that he had not tried his best.
Therefore, when Xia Chu said that he would accompany him to play a game today, he was full of joy. He had been extremely cautious from the beginning of the game. Now it was a fight in the middle game, and one careless move would affect the number of officials.
On the other hand, Xia Chu is still as fast, ruthless and accurate as ever. Every move can be regarded as the best response and the most amazing move. Even if Xiao Mubai is in his current position, he can't choose a better move than his. Good move.
Han Hong didn't expect him to wait for more than an hour. By the time Han Sa had finished being beaten and given the medicine, he came to wait on him. The game between them was not over yet...
Han Hong glanced at the moves on the chessboard. Until now, only half of them had been covered.
Han Sa stood beside him, looking sideways at him looking at the chess game with a blank expression on his face, and scoffed: "What are you looking at? It seems like you can understand."
Han Hong blushed and looked away. Seeing the sarcastic look on his face, he couldn't help but sternly said: "Who says I can't understand? The prince will win soon."
Han Sa made a sound, expressing his disdain vividly.
Han Hong knew nothing about chess, but Han Sa knew a little about it after following Xiao Mubai all day long.
He saw that it was still the middle stage of the game, and Xia Chu's moves were very fast, and his expression was relaxed. On the contrary, Xiao Mubai would always be amazed and then think hard after his moves...
Although Xiao Mubai has superb chess skills, in the current situation, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.
In addition, Han Hong didn't know, but Han Sa knew that the young master had played a game of chess with the prince.
After about an hour of burning incense, Xia Chu took out two black stones from the chess jar and placed them on the lower right side of the chessboard: "You win, I lose half the stone."
There was a wry smile on Xiao Mubai's lips. In order to win his son, he spent all his energy and energy. He was so tired...
When Han Hong heard that Xia Chu had admitted defeat, he immediately raised his chin proudly and poked Han Sa: "How about it? I'll tell you that the prince will win soon."
Han Sa rolled his eyes and took two steps forward, pointed at the chessboard, frowned and asked Xia Chu in confusion: "Master, there is still a lot of ground to go, why do you just give up?"
Xiao Mubai looked at where he pointed and pursed his lips: "He has already seen the official's last glance..."
Xia Chu had already stretched his muscles and invited Xiao Mubai to have a meal. Xiao Mubai walked out of the pavilion and walked side by side with him.
"You won't give me any mercy." Xia Chu feigned anger.
Xiao Mubai laughed: "I racked my brains just now to win your half-son. If I let you, I will be killed by you and run away."
Xia Chu smiled brightly, he was just joking.
It turned out that the feeling of meeting an opponent in chess was so indescribably overwhelming, it was like although they had not finished playing the game, by the middle game, Xia Chu already knew where Xiao Mubai would move after his move.
Therefore, although the game has not been completed, in the minds of the two of them, the whole game has been completed...
Han Hong watched their backs go further and further away, and pulled Han Sa, who was still frowning in front of the chessboard, and thinking to himself while checking: "How did you see this? I'm afraid the young master didn't admit defeat on purpose... "
"Why are you turning your elbows outward? If you don't leave, I'll leave." Han Hong pulled him, but he didn't pull him yet. His face was startled, and then he stamped his feet and walked towards Xiao Mubai and Xia He chased after him in the original direction, muttering in his mouth: "I really haven't been beaten for so many days in vain. I have improved so much that I can't even pull it anymore..."
When Han Hong chased him all the way, Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu had already sat down in the backyard. Before he could speak, Xiao Mubai saw him coming and spoke first: "Has Hu Yingmao taken the order?"
Han Hong answered yes, and Xia Chu asked with a smile on his face and asked with interest: "Did Mr. Hu scold His Highness King Mo so bloody?"
Han Hong looked startled, and when he saw that both of them looked unsurprised, he nodded immediately.
The smile on Xia Chu's face became deeper and deeper. He held his chin with his left hand and knocked on the table with his right hand. He said to Han Hong with great interest: "Come on, come on, learn from me from beginning to end, especially curse words. You have to elaborate every word carefully.”
Han Hong looked troubled, glanced at Xiao Mubai, and saw that he said unconcernedly: "If he wants to listen, just learn it and make him laugh."
