The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 440 Huan Gu

“Ah!! Ahhhhh~ah!”

With a long roar to the sky, Kang Ge became much more sober.

"It's so early in the morning, calling the soul."

Old Xuan, who had just finished exercising, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and pointed to the kitchen.

"I've saved breakfast for you. Go heat it up and eat it yourself."

Whenever Kang Ge'er moved, his body made crackling sounds.

"What's good for breakfast?"

"Porridge, steamed buns, and pickles."

Hearing this, Kang Ge'er lifted the curtain and went into the kitchen. He touched the food and found it was still warm, so he ate it directly.

He walked out with a steamed bun in his mouth and a bowl in one hand, leaning against the door frame.

Home is still the best. In the morning, there are crystal dumplings, green stem porridge, etc.

Han Yang was practicing martial arts in the yard with a sword at this time. Even though he only used his left arm, the sword blade could emit a sharp sword energy wherever it passed.

"You spent the whole night studying. Did you come up with anything?"

It is too difficult to find the person behind the scenes based on just a few letters, but this is the only clue they can find at the moment.

Kang Ge'er's mouth was bulging and he looked at Old Xuan and shook his head.

"It's better to kill a hundred people by mistake than to let one go. If the case spreads from a small area to a large area, we will investigate them one by one."

"That's the only way. The only fear is alerting the enemy."

Kang Ge'er was a little depressed. It would be great if he had a few more helpers.

"Get dressed up later and let's go to Baimanlou."

"What are you going for?"

Old Xuan took out two sets of clothes and compared them to see which one looked better on him.

Kang Ge'er came up to him from behind, looking like he was enjoying a melon.

"Xuanxuan~What? Going to see your old lover?"

A muffled laugh came from outside, and Old Xuan's face turned red and his arms tensed.

"Go away, you have no respect for your age. I praised you for being sensible when we were little, but now you are just like those brats."

Kang Ge'er didn't even try to dodge, but took a few steps back, holding his chest.

"Yes, then it is. No, then it is not. Why are you embarrassed?"

Seeing that Master Xuan was about to hit him, Kang Ge'er ran away for safety.

Han Yang outside put away his sword and saw Kang Ge'er running out as if escaping, and glanced at him.

Kang Ge'er was gossiping and rushed over anxiously like a badger looking for melons on the ground.

"Master~"

"Don't."

Han Yang motioned him to stop and not come over, then nodded with his chin at Old Xuan who was humming a little tune inside.

"I'm looking for help for you. By the way... cough."

Suddenly, Han Yang stopped talking and turned around.

"Well, I'll change my clothes and go out together."

Kang Ge'er turned around and saw Master Xuan coming out.

"Um, I'll go change too."

Old Xuan, whose hair was already gray, stood at the door with his hands on his hips and snorted coldly.

He didn't know that these two guys were teasing him behind his back.

After seeing them leave, he touched his hair and went back in. He still had to match his clothes again.

Baimanlou

Three ordinary men entered Baimanlou, they were none other than the three elders Xuan.

"How many guests are there?"

"T-shaped room."

"Okay, everyone, please come this way."

Kang Ge'er put a beard on his face and turned into a big bearded man.

Follow Master Xuan and go upstairs.

As soon as I got up there, a drunk young man came towards me, who was being supported by someone.

"Master, please slow down. Madam is waiting outside."

Kang Ge'er took a closer look and found that this person looked very familiar.

Shao Wanqi.

"I, I feel bad."

"I know. Come, Master, there are people over here."

"No, you don't."

The two passed each other, and Kang Ge'er was walking towards the private room when he heard someone talking next to him.

"Isn't this the master of the Shao family? What's wrong? That old man..."

"Shut up, you dare to say anything."

The person next to him immediately covered the man's mouth.

"Don't you know that General Duan in the capital is dead?"

"I know."

"It is said that when Mr. Shao was young, he had a very good relationship with the young general of the Duan family. A few days ago, when the young general Duan was calling for help (which means to call back the soul), Mr. Shao cried even louder than the Duan family."

The voice gradually faded away, and Kang Ge'er lowered his eyes and blinked.

"arrive."

When I stepped in, there was already someone sitting inside.

Kang Ge'er looked over curiously and saw a middle-aged woman with a thin figure. She only wore a simple hairpin on her head and looked very energetic and neat.

"Huan Gu."

After entering, Han Yang bowed. The woman named Huangu stood up and took Han Yang for a good look around.

After touching the stiff prosthetic limb on her right side, Huan Gu felt extremely sad.

"I haven't seen you in years."

"Huan Niang, why are you getting younger and younger?"

Old Xuan looked at Huan Gu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and compared her with the mirror he looked in this morning. They were obviously about the same age, so why was there such a big difference?

"Xuanxuan, why are your hair all white?"

Looking at Xuan Lao's completely white hair, Huan Gu was a little surprised. Then she looked at Kang Ge'er and asked, "Is this the boy you were talking about?"

Old Xuan touched his hair with a bit of sadness, while Kang Ge felt a bit guilty.

Because Mr. Xuan has said more than once that half of his white hair is due to him.

When I came with my backpack, I thought I was here to retire, but I didn't expect to find a class to attend.

"Oh, all the worrying. Life is miserable, haha."

After two dry laughs, Old Xuan pulled Kang Ge'er beside him to sit at the table.

"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down."

After saying that, Master Xuan introduced Kang Ge'er to Huangu.

"I know you. I met you many years ago, but you were still young then."

Huangu looked lovingly at this... um... bearded Kangge'er.

Most people can’t tell from this kind of disguise, but Huan Gu is no ordinary person.

"Those guys down there all call me Huan Gu, just follow their lead."

"Huan Gu."

Before the food was served, Huan Gu saw Han Yang. She had raised a group of children with them when she was a child, and she always felt more sorry for the most sensible one.

Watching him go from being the best pigeon to losing his arm to protect His Majesty, the pigeon cage is the cruelest place. Even if there is a good brotherhood in the past, at this time, the fittest will survive, and only the most powerful pigeons can stand by His Majesty.

Pigeon is one of the secret guard camps of Jingwuwei.

There is only one most powerful pigeon, and a pigeon that loses its wings is destined to be eliminated.

"Huan Gu, I'm doing well now, you don't have to worry about me."

Huangu looked at Han Yang. There was no more resentment and decadence in his eyes, but instead a kind of peace.

"As long as you live well."

Old Xuan couldn't get a word in, so he just sat aside holding his tea.

Kang Ge'er looked around but didn't say anything.

After reminiscing about the past with Han Yang, Huan Gu looked at Old Xuan who was staring at her eagerly.

"You said you were going to live a good life? You made those old guys jealous. Although you look a little older, you are much mellower."

I still remember that when Master Xuan received the mission and left, he showed off in front of them.

Xuan Lao also remembered this incident and said angrily, "So, I only looked for you and not those others, otherwise you would laugh at me to death."

Huangu smiled and shook her head. This guy is still so concerned about his reputation.

How could he be sure that he wouldn't frame those people when he got back?

"Well, Huanniang, I have a favor I want to owe you first."

Huanniang paused while drinking tea, feeling a little helpless.

"You always think I'm up to no good. How many do you owe me? I've never seen you pay me back."

"I'll pay it back in full later. Listen to me..."
