It had been a long time since he had a full meal, and Xi Duanhong was somewhat stuffed. Looking at the closed door of the Sacrifice Pavilion not far away, he didn't know what identity he should go to.
"Oh, have you heard? The Sacrificial Concubine Pavilion has issued an announcement to the outside world, saying that... Oh, yes, it said that it is looking for a guest for the master of the Sacrificial Concubine Pavilion. Anyone with talent, regardless of gender, old or young, can go and try. .”
"Really? Well, people like us, don't think about it. How can we get in there? That's all..."
"well…"
Guest? Maybe you can go and try it yourself
Having made up his mind, Xi Duanhong once again came to the door of the Sacrifice Pavilion and knocked on the door. Within a moment, someone opened the door.
The person who opened the door was a young man who looked young but very shrewd. "What's the matter with my lady? Our Pavilion Master is not here. If you need anything, please visit us another day."
"Ah, no, no," Xi Duanhong waved his hands repeatedly, "I heard that they are recruiting guests here, so I thought of giving it a try..."
The boy looked Xi Duanhong up and down, curled his lips, opened the door and let the man in, "Girl, please come with me."
I originally thought that the Sacrificial Concubine Pavilion would be a cold mansion, but unexpectedly, what I saw was as beautiful as a paradise. No wonder it is called the No. 1 Villa in Daqi.
The young man led Xi Duanhong and walked inside, walked through the long corridor and crossed the cliff to a mansion with the word "Ghost Cave" engraved on the plaque.
Xi Duanhong was shocked: Could he have entered a tiger's den?
The boy said respectfully: "Miss, please wait a moment and let me report."
"Good work."
After a while, the boy came back, followed by a person. The person looked so familiar, but his name was on his lips but he couldn't remember it.
When the visitor saw Xi Duanhong in such a mess, he understood, "Miss Xi, please go to the side hall to rest for a while. I will order someone to dress the girl later."
Xi Duanhong was surprised when the person in front of him nodded his thanks without saying a word, and then followed his servant to the side hall.
Sitting in the room, it was only June, but the weather was hotter and drier than before. She had no choice but to leave Kyoto and the academy. She wanted to know the truth and didn't want to suffer injustice.
There was a rare look of despair between her eyebrows. She had felt more than once that she was happier in Kyoto than in the mountains before. Her eyes were hazy and wet with mist, and her eye circles were a little red.
"Knock knock knock"
The voice of a young girl outside the door interrupted Xi Duanhong's trance, "Girl, this slave is here to help the girl change her clothes."
"Please come in."
Xi Duanhong silently observed the maid, whose movements were a bit unfamiliar, "I think the girl is fine, why did she come here to be a maid?"
"Girl, you need to be careful with your words and deeds here. It's best not to say anything you shouldn't say or ask, otherwise it will lead to death..."
The cautious look of the maid further aroused Xi Duanhong's interest in this villa. What are the secrets here? Who is the owner here? Why does everyone yearn for this place?
Xi Duanhong finished dressing up under the service of the maid, and then sat down to rest for a while. The maid who had just led her in arrived.
"Miss, our master invites you."
"Okay, here you go, please lead the way."
Under the leadership of the young man, Xi Duanhong felt the size of this villa here. After several twists and turns, he stopped in front of a courtyard. On the plaque were written the three characters "Xianyang Palace", and the signature seemed to be the imperial seal.
It's a nice place. I don't know what kind of person the owner is. I hope he is someone easy to get along with.
"Girl, please come," the young man led the way and asked as he walked: "When we enter, please don't talk nonsense. Our lord is often moody."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me."
When he walked into the courtyard, he saw two men sparring. The young man hurriedly pulled Xi Duanhong and hid aside, "The one with the green face and fangs is the owner of the entire villa, and the other one is the one you just met. Passed, Elder Chen, the owner of the ghost cave."
Elder Chen? Chen Shuli! So that's it. I asked why it looked so familiar at first sight. It turned out to be the chief. But why is the chief here or the elder here?
Everything seems so unreasonable...
