Chapter 22 Not going
"Little brother, it's me. What's going on here?" Dai Quan's body was still trembling and his teeth were chattering.

The man just now was the one who had been watching the Jia family. It was thanks to him that he was able to come in without alerting anyone.

Who knew that the guy would fall to the ground wailing the moment he entered the courtyard?

Then, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle through the fallen lantern.
A swarm of snakes and insects appeared out of nowhere and pounced on him, biting him madly.

Li Liang walked to the gate of the courtyard in surprise and asked in confusion
"Hey, why are you here?"

Dai Quan just saw that the poisonous insects disappeared after Li Liang appeared, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and laughed dryly.

"I came to find your son on the orders of the master."

Li Liang suddenly realized, then frowned and pointed at the body in the bushes.

"Is that person with you?"

Dai Quan nodded quickly.

"Yes, how is he?"

Li Liang curled his lips

"died."

"Uh" Dai Quan was startled.
"Is he dead already?"

"What else? You are from outside, right? Most people in the mansion don't come here.
If I had barged in like this without notifying the Third Master, my fate would have been the same as his,” Li Liang explained.

Dai Quan was shocked. Is there such a thing?
Suddenly I remembered the scene I saw at the pond, which can explain the presence of so many snakes and insects here.

Dai Quan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. He looked at Li Liang fiercely, stood up straight, and said slowly:
"Do you know who I am?"

Li Liang looked at Dai Quan in confusion and shook his head blankly. How could he know?
Dai Quan said slowly

"I am the personal eunuch beside the Emperor."

"What?" Li Liang sat down on the ground and stammered.
"What did you say? The Grand Emperor?"

Dai Quan looked at the frightened Li Liang with satisfaction, and his mood improved a lot.

"You heard it right. The person you saw that day was the Emperor."

Li Liang's body trembled again and his eyes widened. He actually met the emperor. This was something he had never thought of in his dreams.

"So you know why we are here. The emperor asked us to find your young master." Dai Quan said lightly.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and report to the Third Master." Li Liang couldn't sit still after hearing that.

This is a summons from the Emperor, so he ran into the house.

He did not doubt Dai Quan's words. After all, no one dared to lie about the emperor.

Jia Hu had finished eating and was drinking tea when Li Liang ran in breathlessly.
"Something...big happened to Master San San?"

Jia Hu was stunned, his face darkened instantly, and he stood up quickly.
"Is someone bullying my sisters again?" His eyes flashed with cold light, as if his reverse scale had been touched.

"Ah!" Li Liang had never seen Jia Hu so scary before, and he sat on the ground again.

He felt like crying. His butt hurt so much. How many times had he fallen today?
But still hurriedly said

"No, no, Master San, you misunderstood. The three young ladies are fine.
Yes. Someone from the Emperor is looking for you outside.” He lowered his voice involuntarily when he said the latter part.

When Jia Hu heard that Sanchun was fine, he calmed down, sat down again, and said calmly:

"Oh, let him come in?"

Li Liang was confused again. Grandpa, you are my ancestor, okay? Did you hear what I said?
The emperor's man wanted to see you, and you let him in?

He stared at Jia Hu in shock with his eyes wide open.

Seeing Li Liang like this, Jia Hu frowned.
"What? Didn't you hear?"

The cold tone brought Li Liang back to his senses instantly.
"Master San San, it's the Emperor Emeritus, the Emperor Emeritus"

Jia Hu looked at Li Liang coldly
"I heard it, so what? If he doesn't want to come in, then don't come in." Li Liang heard it and said hurriedly

"No, no, I'll go call him right away." He hurriedly got up and ran outside, feeling extremely upset.
Both sides are capable of taking lives, and I can't afford to offend either of them.

Dai Quan was getting impatient waiting, and when he saw Li Liang running out alone, he looked behind him and asked in confusion:

"Where's Jia Hu?"

Li Liang forced a smile

"Um, um, my Third Master wants you to come in..."

"What?" Dai Quan was startled, then a little annoyed.
"Why, is he so arrogant? He wants our family to go meet him?" She looked at Li Liang with dissatisfaction.

Li Liang secretly groaned, dying now or later, he chose the latter, simply closed his eyes and said
"The Third Master said, if you don't want to come in, then don't come in."

Dai Quan was startled and wanted to get angry.
But he suddenly thought of something and suppressed his anger. He looked at Li Liang with uncertain eyes.

"Okay, let's go meet him in person."

Li Liang opened his eyes in surprise. He thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect him to agree.
I was delighted and quickly bent down and said

"Father-in-law, please come in."

Dai Quan nodded and glanced at the bushes on both sides with fear.

“Those things are gone, right?”

Li Liang nodded quickly.

"No, no, don't worry, I'm fine, don't you think?"

Dai Quan nodded, then carefully stepped in. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he followed Li Liang in.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Dai Quan always feels that there are many eyes watching him, and cold sweats are coming out on his back.

I cursed in my heart and decided that I would never come to this damn place again.

Dai Quan saw Jia Hu sitting in a chair drinking tea. He paused and said with a serious expression:
"Jia Hu."

Jia Hu looked up at Dai Quan with cold eyes, just staring at him quietly.

Dai Quan's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed himself for being frightened by a young man. He tried to calm himself and coughed softly.

"Jia Hu, the emperor wants to see you, please come with us."

Jia Hu's expression did not change, he said calmly

"Don't go."

"What?" Dai Quan suddenly became excited and looked at Jia Hu in disbelief.
"Do you know what you are saying? I am not lying to you. The emperor really wants to see you." He was afraid that Jia Hu would not believe him, so he said hurriedly.

Li Liang stood silently against the wall, his legs weak, thinking he would not fall on his butt again.

A pair of eyes looked at Jia Hu with fear and admiration. He was indeed the Third Master. He even dared to refuse this directly.
He was already thinking about his fate, whether he would be beheaded.

Jia Hu's tone was calm.

"I'm not deaf. He asked me to go there to get rid of the poison, right?"

Dai Quan nodded blankly
"Do you know why you shouldn't go? If you can cure the retired emperor, it will be of great benefit to you, do you know?" Dai Quan couldn't think of any reason why Jia Hu would not agree.

Jia Hu said calmly, "Not interested, it's troublesome."

"Uh" Dai Quan looked at Jia Hu in astonishment.
"Just because of this?" He really didn't understand what Jia Hu was thinking.

Jia Hu glanced at Dai Quan

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and don't disturb my sleep."
