Chapter 151 Hurry and appease your master
Qi Shuo followed Tian Yu safely into the Anqing Palace. This palace was the former residence of Prince Mingzhao. Naturally, it was spacious and broad, but it had been neglected for so many years and was in disrepair. It was overgrown with weeds and looked a little run-down. Only a few signs of its former prosperity could be seen.
"Cousin, follow me!"
Tian Yu quickly took Qi Shuo and walked into a secluded room. Then he took out a set of eunuch clothes and said to Qi Shuo, "My cousin, change into them first, so that no one will find out."
Qi Shuo nodded in agreement, then took off his outer coat and quickly put on the eunuch's attire. However, Qi Shuo was a veteran of the battlefield, and his stature and demeanor did not look like a eunuch at all.
Tian Yu said, "My dear cousin, I have to bear with you for a while. Don't let anyone find out, or you'll get into trouble."
"Know!"
Qi Shuo naturally imitated Tian Yu, hunching his back, lowering his head, and trying his best to reduce his presence.
"My cousin has done a great job. Please follow me."
After everything was prepared, Tian Yu took Qi Shuo to the main hall. This huge palace was only inhabited by a master who was not worthy of his title, and several palace servants and guards who neglected their duties.
All the way to the main hall, the path was smooth and I didn't meet anyone.
Seeing that they were about to arrive, Tian Yu spoke up to remind him, "My dear cousin, when we get to the main hall, there will be two guards from the palace guarding it. You will have to obey me in everything."
"Know!"
They walked slowly to the inner hall, with Qi Shuo standing behind them holding a pot of fine wine.
Qi Shuo followed Tian Yu into the hall and did not encounter anyone trying to stop them.
He thought that since the mansion was in such a dilapidated state, there must be no one guarding it.
But he didn't know that the gatekeeper was not guarding outside the gate, but was enjoying himself peacefully inside the hall!
"Eunuch Tian! Who is that person behind you?"
Inside the main hall, a man dressed in guard's clothes, with stubble on his face and a face as round as his belly, was sitting on an armchair. There was a knife beside him and a little girl was fanning him. He was eating snacks and looked very comfortable and happy.
This is probably not something a guard should enjoy.
However, seeing him like this, Tian Yu could only smile and say, "Hey, Guard Zhu, you are on duty alone today. Are you tired? This is my gift. Xiao Qi, go and pour some wine for Guard An."
After hearing this, Qi Shuo immediately stepped forward and poured wine for the guard Zhu.
Tian Yu said, "Guard Zhu, this is the fine wine I asked the kitchen staff to bring back for me today. Please try it."
Guard Zhu raised his head slightly, looked at Qi Shuo, then looked at Tian Yu, and asked, "I have drunk all kinds of fine wines. Tell me first, who is he? I have never seen him in the mansion!"
"Um...Guard Zhu, he...he is my newly adopted son. I have no children, so I have to find someone to take care of me in my old age, right? So I would like to ask you to be flexible, okay?"
Tian Yu took out a bag of money from his sleeve and stuffed it into Guard Zhu's hand, saying in a flattering manner, "Guard Zhu, please be flexible."
This guard Zhu is very greedy for money and easy to get rid of. Fortunately, he is the only one here today.
Sure enough, Guard Zhu received the money, and then he weighed the money bag with a smile and said, "In this case, I can't say anything. It would be better if you adopt a son. You will have one more person to serve you in the future."
"Thank you, Guard Zhu."
After Tian Yu resolved the matter, he wanted to ask about his master's matter, but suddenly, they heard a roar coming from the back of the hall, which sounded particularly harsh.
Guard Zhu was obviously unhappy and said to Tian Yu, "Go quickly and comfort your master. It sounds annoying! It's really tiring!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Tian Yu glanced at Qi Shuo and signaled him to follow quickly.
