11.6 – He was someone who would never go to the temple for nothing

Although Shu Heng described the courtyard as simple and crude, it only seemed so when compared to the palace. It was actually pretty good for an ordinary courtyard, but Shu Heng had always been very concerned about Xue Ling and felt that he had been unable to provide His Majesty with a good enough life. So, every time he had to find food, shelter, or transportation for Xue Ling, he disdained everything and felt that it was insufficient.

This courtyard was in the middle of the city and had been on sale for a long time, but because the price was too high, n.o.body had been willing to buy it. The price was clearly set at daylight robbery prices, but after comparing several courtyards, Shu Heng still resolutely decided to buy this one. They were not short on money, so he naturally picked the best one for his master.

This small courtyard was set up in a quadrangle, and had quite a few houses. The main house was very well taken care of, and when Shu Heng purchased it, the servants who were responsible for keeping everything running had also been transferred over, so there was no need to worry about the household ch.o.r.es.

Shu Heng chose a sunny day to bring Xue Ling to the new courtyard. When they arrived at the entrance, Shu Heng finally explained to Xue Ling, "Gongzi, the courtyard opposite ours is where the military advisor that I mentioned to you before lives." LsvZMS

Xue Ling stepped out of the carriage, and s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the entrance on the other side. He curved his lips, and then clapped his hand on Shu Heng's shoulder. “Well done.”

Shu Heng laughed a little proudly and gave a Mu Ge a rather provocative look. Mu Ge ignored him and instead turned around to support Xue Ling as he got out of the carriage.

Ying Sheng received the news that they had moved into the courtyard while they were still settling in. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked doubtfully, "They're now living in the courtyard across from my military advisor?"

“Yes. Your subordinate personally saw them move in. The government office also has the proof that shows that they bought the house." F0wS6e

“Huh?”

“That ger's name is Xue Ling. He is from the Capital, but wanted to go south to find his relatives because his parents died. Unfortunately, he was unable to find them when he arrived in Zhanjing. The long journey here left him ill, so he decided to settle down in Zhanjing for a while.”

“Xue Ling…” Ying Sheng spoke the name in a low voice, and savored it deep in his heart as he recalled the glimpse he had gotten of that person. A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips… "That's a good name.”

The reporting subordinate stared blankly at their Royal Highness. He was smiling… and it was a very terrifying smile… it looked just like a smile that heralded the coming of spring. It would be jarring on anyone's face, but when it was on their Royal Highness' face, it became particularly unsettling… Xvsk7P

“Your Royal Highness… Do we need to keep watching him?" Although he did not know why he had been a.s.signed to do such a task, the subordinate still maintained a respectful expression as he asked this question. "That ger has a master by his side, and his abilities are not ordinary. Our people don't dare to get too close."
