My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 69 Dragon and Snake
While everyone was talking about himself, Huang Tian changed into a brand-new "uniform" of the flag bearers, a dark black long gown embroidered with a unicorn with its four hooves raised, giving him a cold and dignified feeling.

Hanging on his waist tag and white jade, without carrying a sword, he went out, casually hailed a carriage, and headed towards the Huang residence.

The carriage wound its way around until it finally stopped in front of a mansion.

He asked the coachman to wait at the door, got off the carriage, and walked over slowly, looking at the familiar gate and lintel.

The two servants guarding the door looked up when they saw someone coming.

familiar!

So familiar!

"Fourth Young Master?!" the short servant exclaimed in surprise.

The tall servant noticed his clothes. 'That's the official uniform of the Zhenwu Guard, and it seems only a captain could wear that?!'

As gatekeepers of the Huang residence, they remembered all kinds of official robes and waist tags very well.

"Fourth Young Master, what are you doing..."

"open the door."

Feeling the overwhelming pressure, the tall servant nodded repeatedly, pushed open the door, and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement: 'How did Fourth Young Master become the Commander of the Zhenwu Guard? Could he have become an eighth-rank martial artist? Goodness, it's only been a few days, less than a month!'

As Huang Tian strode into the mansion and headed towards the east wing, the tall servant said, "You continue to guard the gate here. I'll go and report to the master that the fourth young master has returned."

“Yes, yes,” the short servant replied.

Then the tall servant hurried along the path to the main hall, where Huang Xunjiu was sitting, sipping tea with a relaxed expression. Upon seeing the tall servant rushing over, he frowned and said, "Why are you in such a panic? What kind of state are you in?!"

The tall servant, hands on his knees, gasped for breath: "Master, four..."

Huang Xunjiu's expression changed, and he slammed his teacup heavily on the table, making a crisp sound. "What do you mean, 'Master is dead'?! What nonsense are you spouting, you idiot!"

The tall servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "It was my mistake, I was wrong!"

"Alright, what is it? Tell me quickly."

The tall servant stopped kowtowing, his forehead flushed, and swallowed hard before saying, "It's the Fourth Young Master who's back!"

"Huang Tian?!"

Huang Xunjiu frowned. Although he had been busy with various matters these days, he had also been paying attention to the situation of his four sons in Weixue. Therefore, he knew that Huang Tian had entered the ranks in ten days and had given Huang Rui a good beating.

At the time, he felt sorry for Huang Rui and was also surprised by Huang Tian's martial arts talent. He wondered if he could find an opportunity to ease the tension with the fourth brother, but after thinking it over, he still couldn't bring himself to do it and decided to wait and see.

Anyway, martial arts cultivation requires resources the most. Huang Tian, ​​who has no family background to support him, will eventually come to him for help. At that time, it will be time to ease the tension, and he will be able to take the initiative.

He felt it would be beneath his dignity as a father to beg for a better relationship, and he was unwilling to do so.

"The fourth brother is actually back, but I remember the school's holiday is tomorrow?" Huang Xunjiu asked in confusion.

The tall servant hurriedly said, "The fourth young master is wearing the official robes of a captain, so he must have become an eighth-rank martial artist..."

Huang Xunjiu's expression suddenly changed. "You didn't see wrong?!"

"I've seen that outfit so many times, how could I be mistaken?"

"Commander, Rank 8!"

Huang Xunjiu suddenly stood up. "Where is he now?"

"It looks like he went to the east wing." "The east wing? Yes, many of his old belongings and two maids are still there..."

With that thought in mind, he immediately set off for the east wing.

At this moment, in a quiet little courtyard in the east wing.

Aunt Qin was starting a fire in the kitchen, and Heng'er, dressed in green, was chopping vegetables. Huang Tian pushed open the courtyard gate and slowly walked into the courtyard, where the familiar scenery greeted him.

The ground is paved with gray bricks, there is a stone table and several stone benches, a large vat filled with water, and a lush pomegranate tree in the corner of the courtyard.

Stepping onto the blue bricks, I entered the main room. It was very clean, without a speck of dust. The tables and chairs were spotless. Pushing open the door, I entered the room where the original owner had lived. The furnishings and decorations were almost unchanged from the day he left.

'That's thoughtful.'

Huang Tian sighed, walked out of the house, went to the kitchen, and stood at the door with a light smile, looking at Heng'er who was tiptoeing to chop vegetables and Aunt Qin sitting in front of the stove.

The sunlight cast his shadow into the kitchen. Heng'er, being observant, immediately noticed the shadow on the ground. Startled, she turned around and froze on the spot.

"Shiro?!!"

Her soft lips parted slightly, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her mind went completely blank.

Startled by her daughter's shout, Aunt Qin turned her head and was so surprised that she stood up. "Fourth Young Master is back?!"

She quickly wiped her hands. "Young Master, didn't you go to the Imperial Academy? How come you're back in less than a month? Wait, what you're wearing... looks like an official's uniform?"

"This is the official uniform of the Zhenwu Guard's commander." Huang Tian said with a smile, "A gentleman should have the ability to change like a dragon or a snake. Before I left, didn't I say that I would come to pick you up soon? Well, here I am today."

Aunt Qin looked at Huang Tian's dignified official robes with surprise and delight, then suddenly realized what was happening and gently patted Heng'er's head. "Silly girl, still standing there in a daze? Hurry up and go pour some water for the young master!"

Heng'er then realized what was happening, looked at Huang Tian, ​​and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face, her eyes almost overflowing with joy.

"I'll go get some water right away." She put down the kitchen knife and ran to the main room to fetch water.

“No need to make a fuss, I already drank some water on the way here, I’m not thirsty,” Huang Tian said. “You guys go pack your things now, we’ll leave in a bit and head to the new house.”

Aunt Qin was delighted to hear this, but hesitated, saying, "My and Heng'er's contracts are still in the manor..."

A contract of employment is not a contract of servitude, and it is not as restrictive on a person's personal rights. However, it is usually signed for ten or twenty years. When Aunt Qin and Heng'er first entered the Huang family, they signed a ten-year contract of employment, and there are still several years left before their contracts expire.

"It's alright. Since it's not a contract of servitude, it can be dissolved. The master can't stop it. It's just a matter of paying some money in compensation."

Moreover, the compensation wouldn't be much. In the end, it was just an old woman and a young maid. At most, the compensation would be twenty or thirty taels, which was really insignificant to Huang Tian.

"Go and get ready."

"Okay, Heng'er and I will pack our bags right now!"

Aunt Qin nodded hurriedly, pulled Heng'er out of the kitchen, and Huang Tian came to the courtyard and sat on a stone bench.

A gentle breeze blows, leaves flutter down, and the scene is utterly tranquil.

Tread~

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard. The courtyard gate creaked open, and Huang Xunjiu, dressed in a brocade robe, walked in quickly with several stewards and servants.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Huang Tian's Zhenwuwei General Flag Officer uniform and subconsciously wanted to smile, but the voice he heard made him stop smiling.

"The Huang family head has arrived? Please have a seat."
