The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

03

At this time, outside the city gate, a group of people came galloping, led by a young man wearing a ghost-patterned mask, dressed in black tights, and riding a red horse.

The man took the lead, and passed directly through the passage as if he did not see the guards at the city gate. None of the guards dared to stop him.

Who is that? So arrogant? The people in the queue looked at the figure speeding away and whispered to their companions.

He is so desperate that he even dares to criticize the Night King. The thin black man beside him reminded him in a low voice, with a hint of fear in his voice.

Suddenly, the man who had just spoken stopped talking, looking annoyed, and regretting what he had said just now. He looked around and found that no one else heard it except his companion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The red horse galloped along the spacious street and soon arrived at the palace, where it met the people waiting there.

The man jumped off the horse swiftly, threw the reins in his hand into the hands of the servant who had been waiting there, and walked inside with his long, thin legs.

Wang, the bath water has been prepared, and the servants have warmed up the dishes you like. The housekeeper trotted after his own Wang and asked quietly: What do you want?

Take a shower first. I have killed a lot of people recently. The smell is too bad. The slightly magnetic voice said casually, "Let's have dinner in Meige."

Yes. Hearing this, the butler's expression remained the same, as if he had not heard it, and he continued to respectfully prepare everything the king needed.

When the Night King came out again, the originally empty Plum Pavilion Waterside Pavilion was already filled with fine wine and delicious food, and gauze curtains were hung around it to keep out the wind but not block the view.

The young man with long black hair picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then casually asked the butler who had been waiting here for who knows how long: Is there anything interesting happening in the mansion recently?

Some time ago, the Xi family sent a lot of valuable instruments and a handsome boy to seek help. Since the king was not there, I used this as an excuse to send him back.

Hearing this, the Night King looked at him and glanced at him lightly through the ghost-patterned mask that was glowing with a hint of silver light.

The butler, who was always good at observing people's words and expressions, noticed his gaze and his expression tensed. After serving for a long time, he could naturally guess his master's thoughts. He immediately continued: The young master of the Xi family who was sent here is not only handsome, but also quite capable. Even one or two of the guards sent to guard him were bribed.

Oh? Hearing this, the Night King seemed to be interested. He turned his gaze to the butler and chuckled: That's quite interesting.

Then tell me in detail. The Night King looked at his shrewd butler and asked with interest.

The butler, who has always been good at trying to figure out what his master wants, naturally knew to tell his master the part that interested him, so he slowly told him the story. I remember that the head of the Xi family in the north was a confused person, but their mother was a powerful character.

The one I sent was a delicate and dainty boy from their family, who didn't look like a powerful person. But anyone entering the mansion should be cautious and not judge people by appearance, so I put the dainty-looking boy in the side yard.
