The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng still didn't say a word, just stared at the young man deeply, he saw his figure was slim, with red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful complexion, perhaps because of his young age, he was quite indisputable, but if he grew up, he would I don't know what kind of stunning beauty will be generated.

There is a ready-made example in front of you...

Lu Sheng glanced at Xie Rong subconsciously, and secretly described his appearance when he was 13 years old. He felt a little hot in his heart, but Xie Rong said coldly: "Get out."

As soon as the servant moved, Hou Yan was shocked, and hurriedly threw himself into Lu Sheng's arms, wrapped his arms around his waist tightly, and cried in panic, "Brother Lu, save me! Brother Lu, save me!"

Lu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was hugged by the kid dressed as a girl and couldn't break free, so he could only gently persuade: "Ah Rong, let's ask clearly first." He lowered his head and patted Hou Yan's back lightly, but his voice was extremely serious, " Hou Yan, why did you run away from home, if you lie again, I will escort you back to your residence."

He spoke harshly, the kid naturally showed panic, with tears in the corners of his eyes, he nodded hurriedly and said: "No lie, no lie."

Lu Sheng couldn't bear it, told him to sit down, wiped his tears for him, and ordered Ruoqing to pour a cup of hot water and bring it, while whispering: "Are you really going to be 13 next month?"

Hou Yan changed from his previous cunning and quick-wittedness, and let Lu Sheng appease him, and nodded again upon hearing that.

When Lu Sheng saw that he was well-behaved and cautious, his heart became softer, and he said, "Since he is 13 years old, he is also a man of indomitable spirit, so don't cry all the time."

Hou Yan had a smile in his eyes, but his face was extremely solemn, he nodded vigorously, and said obediently and respectfully: "Yes, I remember what Brother Lu said."

Lu Sheng was very satisfied. He thought to himself that this kid is much more obedient than Xie Rong. He obeyed his words and was very compliant, so he touched the top of his head and said softly, "Come on, why did you disguise yourself as a woman and run away from home?"

Xie Rong sat down on the opposite couch and drank tea, watching with cold eyes from beginning to end, and naturally saw Hou Yan's hypocritical behavior in his eyes. This guy is young, but his mind is far deeper and more cunning than many adults. The idea was so good that it coaxed that innocent fool Lu Sheng into a circle.

Whether it's just Hou Yan or Yun Ye, even the kitten he raised knows that this person looks strict, but in fact he is gentle, kind and caring, and wants to get close and possess him unconsciously.Unexpectedly, this person is completely unconscious, and the bees, waves and butterflies are constantly entangled... After all, it is a troublesome thing.

——It would be better to imprison them completely, to isolate the wishful thinking of idlers and others.

Xie Rong on this side was thinking more and more dangerously, while Hou Yan on the other side heard Lu Sheng’s question, and his eyes were red again, showing a sad expression, but he resisted himself and replied in a low voice: “Brother Lu, my mother’s birth I passed away unfortunately when I was young. I was born with insufficient womb and suffered serious illnesses. I almost lost my life. When I was one year old, my grandmother invited a monk to tell my fortune. She said that I was born with evil spirits. Before I was 13 years old, I had to be raised as a daughter. You can save your life only by deceiving the secrets of heaven. Therefore..."

He paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "I will turn 13 next month, so I won't have to dress up like a little girl anymore."

With his smile, Qingcheng's face was so radiant that the whole room seemed to be lit up.

Even though Lu Sheng was used to beauties, he still felt dazzled at this moment. He coughed lightly, and asked again: "Since it's such an opportunity, we should be more cautious, but you ran out rashly, worrying your family in vain—if you It's okay to stay, but I have to send a letter to Hou Zongbing's residence."

Hou Yan immediately showed a look of panic, shaking his hands repeatedly and said: "Brother Lu, absolutely not, absolutely not! Daddy wants to kill me!"

Lu Sheng was certain in his heart that Hou Zongbing's youngest son was raised under his grandmother's lap since he was a child. He was loved by thousands of people and had a natural and unruly temperament. He probably ran away from home because of some trouble.If so, there is no need to get involved in the housework of the Hou family's godson.

What's more, Xie Rong's face on the side became more and more cold, making him restless, and he wanted to settle this trouble as soon as possible.

After making up his mind, he asked seriously: "Hou Yan, let me ask you, what kind of disaster did you cause to run away from home?"

Hou Yan was slightly taken aback, and faltered and said: "I, I... I never caused trouble, it's all because of that, that person is not good!"

Lu Sheng asked calmly, "Who is wrong?"

Undisguised anger appeared on Hou Yan's face.

It turned out that Hou Zongbing was celebrating his mother’s birthday yesterday. Among the guests, a young son met Hou Yan in the flower hall. At that time, Hou Yan was naturally dressed as a woman, with jade hairpins and flowers, and a bright red wide skirt. , causing the son to be shocked for a moment, he turned his back on everyone, stopped Hou Yan from delivering the purse, and promised that he would not marry anyone who was not Qing in this life.

Hou Yan was furious, although he was weak when he was young, now he was born with supernatural power, ordinary martial artists were no opponents, so he took out the whip on the spot, and whipped the young master until his flesh was ripped apart and he bled profusely.

But this young man is an honored guest, he is the direct cousin of the empress, now he has mistakenly recognized the beauty, betrayed his sincerity, and even received a beating for no reason, after returning home he was bedridden and developed a high fever.

Hou Zongbing naturally couldn't offend the emperor's relatives and relatives, so he wanted to tie Hou Yan to Mr. Jia's mansion to apologize. Hou Yan couldn't bear it, so he ran straight out of the mansion, and was "saved" by Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, and suddenly grabbed the hanging pot, and slammed the end of the scabbard at the boy's chest.

The young boy hastily dodged sideways, but turned over the couch and coffee table instead. He bent his knees as if facing a formidable enemy, and grabbed the whip around his waist. He didn't expect that this person would turn his back on him if he said so, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart. , Shocked and angry, said in a trembling voice: "Lu, Brother Lu..."

Lu Sheng sneered and said, "Your Excellency is so skilled, there are only a few merchants in the area, where is your opponent, Lu was meddling in his own business before."

Only then did Hou Yan wake up, knowing that he had been tricked, he was relieved and guilty for a while, but he knew that Lu Sheng didn't really want to hurt him, so the corners of his mouth curved up unconsciously, regardless of Xie Rong's gaze on the side. Back, hurriedly went forward and grabbed Lu Sheng's arm and shook it twice, "Lu...Brother Lu, my little brother was treated harshly by his parents, and I felt uncomfortable, so I went to find bad luck for those businessmen, but unexpectedly, Brother Lu misunderstood... Little brother, little brother knew it was wrong."

Before Lu Sheng opened his mouth, Xie Rong stood up and said coldly: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. Is that young master's surname Jia? I have some friendship, and I will go talk to you about it."

His expression was stern, but his behavior was appropriate and considerate, always thinking of the young man, Lu Sheng also heaved a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Ah Rong, do you really want to help?"

Xie Rong gave him a cold look, did not speak, but ordered: "Paper and ink." The servants quietly spread paper and ink in the study next door.

Although his expression was cold and displeased, Lu Sheng felt that his heart was completely ironed, and even the few traces of complaints left in his heart disappeared without a trace, so he couldn't help laughing.

Hou Yan looked forward to Ai Ai and said: "It's getting late... how about..."

Xie Rong said: "Today's business, today is over, do you still want to stay for dinner?"

Lu Sheng also said: "Young master, although Meng Lang is frivolous, you also injured someone in the end. Hou Yan, if you dare to act bravely, how can you run away?"

Hou Yan bit his lower lip, he naturally understood Xie Rong's purpose, but he just wanted to send him away earlier, but how could he be willing?

Just as he was rolling his eyes to think of an idea, a servant who didn't know him hurriedly knocked on the door and entered, and reported to Lu Sheng, "Madam Zong Bing, please see me."

Since Hou Yan's mother passed away, the wife of the general soldier is the stepmother. Looking at the young man's face that suddenly changed color, Lu Sheng couldn't help thinking of Xie Rong's life experience, and sighed in his heart. In the middle of the day, it was also difficult to survive, he raised his hand to hold Hou Yan's slightly trembling shoulders, and was about to say: "Ah Rong..."

But Xie Rong put down the pen, turned around and walked out, looked at the young man with interest, seeing that the boy felt uncomfortable, then raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Good time, please Ma'am."

Hou Yan grabbed Lu Sheng's arm, raised his head and said, "Brother Lu, my mother..."

Lu Sheng lowered his head, but saw that his eyes were filled with water vapor, and tears were about to roll out of his eyes, as if he was hiding infinite sadness. He couldn't help but soften his heart, and comforted him: "If you...don't want to go back, you don't have to go back in a hurry. Ah Rong?"

After all, he was afraid that Xie Rong would be angry and insisted on driving the boy away, so he called softly.

Unexpectedly, Xie Rong turned her head back with a smile, like a star staring at Lu Sheng softly, and said: "This son has ulterior motives, and he shouldn't be allowed to come near your side, but now the situation has changed, but he has to be taken away." stay."

Although Hou Yan was stunned when he heard this, and Lu Sheng was also confused, Xie Rong ordered Ruosong to lead Hou Yan into the side room, and dismissed the rest of the servants, and only sat side by side with Lu Sheng on the main seat and waited quietly. .

Lu Sheng wanted to ask more questions, but the door creaked and opened, and a cool and delicate fragrance wafted in, making Lu Sheng shiver slightly.The figure walked around the screen at the door, and the bright orange-red silk skirt dragged layer by layer, making a pleasant rustling sound, and a gorgeous woman in full dress appeared in front of the two of them.

She was about the second half of her twenties, with a delicate little face the size of a palm, with a dazzling array of hairpins and rich makeup, but each piece of decoration was just right, like peonies blooming brightly, clouds rising above the sun, showing a domineering wealth and grace.She walked in alone, but she was as determined as if she was leading thousands of troops. She sat down dignifiedly on the couch of the distinguished guest opposite, smiled at the two of them, and said softly: "I am from the Yu family, and I have met the two young masters." .”

If Xie Rong hadn't pressed the back of Lu Sheng's hand, he might have jumped up and drew his sword to face him, but at this moment, he still couldn't hide the shock in his heart, his waist was straight, and he only stared at the woman with a pair of eyes. In the palace of Prince Chuyu, the spirit of resentment that murdered the two of them.
