Volume 1: Eagle Chapter 84: Xiong Mansion

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For many people, peaceful days are rare, but for many people, peace means greater danger.  Since returning home two days ago, Xiong Tingbi has never been at peace. Although his family has been by his side these days, his heart is always empty.  While Xiong Tingbi is worried these days, he is also constantly reflecting on himself. Is his persistence for so many years wrong? Is there any point in doing this?  Wandering around in the yard a little bored, Xiong Tingbi felt very complicated at this time.  "Master, there is someone outside asking to see you." An old housekeeper came to Xiong Tingbi, handed a greeting card to Xiong Tingbi, and said respectfully.  The Xiong Mansion has been very deserted these days, and the people who used to come to visit have disappeared this time.  Maybe this is the rule of officialdom. At this time, no one cares about himself.  After hearing what the old man said, Xiong Tingbi was stunned. He didn't expect that someone would come to see him at this time.  He took the name card from the butler's hand and opened it slowly.  The next moment, Xiong Tingbi was stunned. Mr. Long, I don¡¯t know anyone named Long!  Moreover, the surname Long seems to be too rare.  And this surname seems to be very taboo. Who is this person?  After a long while, Xiong Tingbi asked the butler behind him, "Where is he?" "Sir, it's in the living room." The old butler replied.  He quickly left the garden. Although Xiong Tingbi didn¡¯t know who it was, since this happened later, something must have happened.  It must be about my own affairs, otherwise I would not be able to come, regardless of whether I know him or not, we will talk about it once we meet.  Xiong Tingbi saw that person when he came to the living room, and then frowned tightly.  This is a young man who looks childish. He is wearing a fine silk gown and a white hat on his head. A piece of blue jade in front of the hat is very special.  There is a gold and jade belt tied around the waist, with a jade pendant hanging on it, and a pair of thin-soled fast boots are waiting on the feet. It is hard to tell what kind of leather they are, but it can be seen that they are extremely precious.  Such a young man looked like he was either rich or noble. What surprised Xiong Tingbi was that this young man actually had a sword on his waist.  At this time, many literati wore swords, which were both a status symbol and an ornament.  But Xiong Tingbi could tell that the young man's sword was a sword capable of killing people, even though the sword was still hidden in the white shark skin scabbard.  What makes Xiong Tingbi dissatisfied is the young man's seat. As a guest, the young man is sitting in the main seat at this time.  This is a very disrespectful thing. It can be said to be contempt for the master and a naked slap in the face!  Seeing this scene, Xiong Tingbi suddenly felt angry, but he did not rush out recklessly, but walked out slowly.  Walking into the hall, Xiong Tingbi discovered that there was another person behind the young man, a thin man.  He looks like he is in his fifties, and there is nothing special about him.  But Xiong Tingbi immediately noticed how extraordinary and dangerous this person was. This person made him feel dangerous.  After looking at the man himself, Xiong Tingbi knew that this man was a master when he saw his bright eyes and broad fingers.  At this time, Xiong Tingbi was much more cautious when he was looking at the young man. Who is this young man?  When Xiong Tingbi looked at the two people, the young man also looked at him up and down. In the eyes of the young people, Xiong Tingbi was a middle-aged man in his forties.  Although he has been in the killing field for a long time, Xiong Tingbi does not look as chill as a veteran in the killing field. He looks more like a wealthy country squire.  The young man once thought that Xiong Tingbi was a black-faced man, but now he realized how wrong this understanding was.  Not only is Xiong Tingbi not black, but he is also very white. He looks like a rich man.  "You are a guest when you come to the door. No matter what kind of guest you are, Xiong will always welcome you." Without losing his temper, Xiong Tingbi walked to the bottom and sat down slowly. He didn't seem to care about the young man's unreasonableness, and his tone was the same.  Extraordinarily calm.  "It's better to be famous than to meet him. Lord Xiong's reputation is like thunder. Today, it turns out that there is no real person under the great reputation. Lord Xiong is indeed well-deserved!" The young man did not get up and glanced at Xiong Tingbi with a smile. Although his words were compliments, his face was filled with tears.  It's not a compliment at all.  Xiong Tingbi felt depressed in his heart. His nature was like a burning fire and he hated evil as much as hatred. When he saw the young man's appearance, he immediately lost his patience and said impatiently: "I wonder what the young master is here for?"  It was an infringement by the imperial court. Although the emperor was merciful, Xiong was not imprisoned, but he did not have time to spend time here with you." The young man smiled slightly, nodded to the people behind him, and then said slowly: "This is what I know.  Lord Xiong! That¡¯s how it should be!¡± The man standing behind the young man walked over quickly and handed something like a token to Xiong Tingbi.     takeWhen he came over to take a look, Xiong Tingbi stood up quickly, walked quickly to the young man, lifted his clothes, knelt down, and said loudly: "I don't know that the beauty of the sky is in front of me. I really deserve to die. Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor."  "Looking at Xiong Tingbi who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Get up! It's the first time that the emperor and his ministers met. I seem to be a bad guest!" Xiong Tingbi stood up slowly.  He quickly said: "I am in a state of confusion for the moment, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me." "Sit down! I'm tired of standing. I will summon you tomorrow morning, and there are many things you need to know." Seeing what Xiong Tingbi wanted to say, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand,  He smiled and said: "I believe in Aiqing's loyalty, and I also believe that Aiqing was wronged. I came to Aiqing because I wanted to talk to Aiqing about Liaodong." He looked a little embarrassed.  Xiong Tingbi, Emperor Tianqi, smiled and said: "Liaodong has been corrupted for so many years. Since Sarhu, Liaodong has been getting worse day by day. I have only been on the throne for a short time. Although I have heard about things in Liaodong, now I want to hear about it.  " Xiong Tingbi gradually stabilized at this time. He did not expect that Emperor Tianqi did not mention his case. It seems that although his Majesty is young, he understands this very well.  He was happy in his heart, and the sadness on his face naturally disappeared. After pondering for a moment, Xiong Tingbi frowned and said: "Liaodong has been corrupted for a long time. I won't say anything about the battle of Saarhu. After all, some old things are now being discussed.  Merits and demerits have no meaning anymore." Seeing Emperor Tianqi listening to his words seriously, Xiong Tingbi felt relieved, and then said: "Since Saarhu, the morale of our army has been low. Although we have regained some lost ground, we have always relied on our strength.  The city gate is defended, but I feel that this is not a long-term solution." Chapter 5 is here, Chapter 6 is coming soon!
