The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

Chapter 220 If you don’t keep him, why keep me!

Fortunately, the Huo family father and son did not keep them waiting for long and came to visit after dinner.

In the main hall of the old Sang family, the two sides were talking well at the beginning. At the time of departure, the people from the old Sang family who went with them all talked very smoothly.

However, when it came to the people who were going with the Huo family, there was a disagreement between the two sides.

"It's been a tiring journey, and it's not like she won't be coming back. Madam Huo is delicate, why let her suffer this?"

Mr. Sang spoke with great sincerity, as if he was concerned about Xu's health.

But the Huo family father and son only felt that the old man's abacus beads were directly hitting their faces!

If you want hostages, just say so!

Although he knew what Mr. Sang was planning, Huo Lingxing did not expose it. Instead, he explained in a very good-tempered manner:

"I brought my wife along just so I could take better care of Shishi.

You may not know that palace banquets or family banquets in the capital usually separate men and women, and are held in different venues and at different tables.

There will certainly be many occasions where Yun Ting and I will not be able to enter, and it would be more appropriate to have my wife by our side to watch over and advise us."

Old Master Sang knew that men and women sat at different tables in those sophisticated families.

But he didn't expect that Huo Yunting and his son, both of whom held such high official positions, would still have occasions that they could not enter.

Now Mr. Sang was a little undecided. He originally wanted to leave a hostage like he did last time when he went on a study tour, so that he could feel more at ease.

Then he had to turn his gaze to his reliable third grandson, wanting to know whether what the man surnamed Huo said was true.

After receiving the old man's inquiring gaze, Sang Jiaan nodded calmly as a confirmation.

Old Master Sang frowned and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he looked at Huo Lingxing and asked tentatively:

"Mr. Huo, how about...you don't go?"

Huo Lingxing was speechless and rolled his eyes.

"I won't go. Your girl got into trouble in the capital. Who will clean up the mess for her?"

He didn't call her "Boss" or "Shishi", but "that girl". Anyone could tell that he was a little angry.

But Mr. Sang was the exception, and he even replied calmly:

"But General Huo is still here."

He had never considered letting Huo Yunting stay. After all, the hostage had to be someone who was easy to control.

Shishi was not around, and Huo Yunting was skilled in martial arts, so he was afraid that he could not keep an eye on her.

"I'm his father and the younger brother of the emperor. My reputation is definitely bigger and more useful than his!

If you don't keep him, why keep me? "

Huo Lingxing was helpless and furious.

Mr. Sang: It’s great if he’s useful. We have to keep the most useful hostage. He’s better than his wife, so we have to keep him.

Faced with Huo Lingxing's questioning, Mr. Sang chose to remain silent.

He is really worried!

The situation reached a stalemate.

In the end, it was Huo Yunting who spoke up to smooth things over.

"How about this, old man? I'll sign a document for you. I, Huo Yunting, will definitely bring your family back safely and intact, okay?"

Obviously, he remembered that Wang had asked him to sign a document, and he always carried the life-saving talisman given to him by the little girl with him.

After he said so, Mr. Sang was silent for a moment and had no choice but to nod and agree.

The old man knew that his request was very rude, but what could he do?

He just wanted to get more protection for his children.

All matters concerning Shi Shi's trip to Beijing to offer the divine seed were finalized one by one in the deepening night.

They set off three days later, with the Shishi family of three, Xiao Jiale, the Huo family of three, and the four Yuns.

Huo Lingxing's original intention was to send people to escort 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes to Beijing first, which would be considered as the offering of the corpse.

If they needed it again in the future, the court would pay to buy it from the farmers in Sangjia Village.

But when Mr. Sang thought of the amazing yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, he felt that one thousand kilograms was too meager. He was afraid that the emperor would think they were stingy, so he disliked his little granddaughter.

So he waved his hand and asked the corpse to offer 10,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes each to support the corpse.

Since they insisted on giving it to him, the Huo family father and son did not want to argue with them over these trivial issues. At most, they could subsidize the price difference when they bought it later, so they gladly accepted it.

After everything was settled, the Huo family father and son said goodbye.

They also had to go back and instruct the four clouds to return to the capital city overnight to mobilize people to escort the divine seed.

After the two men left, the main hall of the old Sang family did not become quiet.

People kept coming in and out all night long, and it wasn't until midnight that things really quieted down.

Because the matter was settled and he was mentally relaxed, and also because he was physically exhausted from yesterday's running around and shock, Huo Lingxing fell into a deep sleep as soon as he returned home last night.

The result of going to bed too early was that he woke up at the first crow of the rooster in the morning.

After a good sleep, he felt quite relaxed, so he decided to go out for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the village when the sun rose.

He thought it should be more unique than the scenery he had seen in the past.

After Huo Lingxing got dressed and washed, he took a folding fan early in the morning. Then he opened the door, put his hands behind his back, and strolled leisurely in the garden.

Maybe it's because when you are in a good mood, everything seems especially beautiful.

He could see some beauty in the shabby and even crumbling mud houses of some of the houses in the village.

As he was strolling and admiring the scenery, he suddenly heard what seemed to be a lot of voices coming from the square in front of him.

Out of curiosity, he quickened his pace and wanted to join in the fun, but as soon as he got closer, he looked around.

As if he had seen a ghost early in the morning, he turned around and ran away, even losing the folding fan he had brought with him.

The scenery of Sangjia Village early in the morning is so unique!

When Huo Lingxing ran home frantically and took his older son with him.

The father and son saw that the square of Sangjia Village was full of people. Hundreds of men were divided into several square formations, practicing with a humming and hawing sound.

The training is not scary. What is scary is that Huo Yunting and the four Yuns are practicing gun skills, while the men from Sangjia Village are practicing wood storage skills.

Sang Jia'an didn't teach these people how to open the wooden warehouse. There were no bullets in the assault wooden warehouses that each man had, but there was a steel knife with a cold glow on the top, which was different from what Huo Lingxing and the others saw yesterday.

The men used their charging wooden cannons as spears, and the loud and clear slogans they uttered over and over again struck Huo Yunting's heart.

He had previously spied on the weapons or items that the little girl took out. There were many of them, but most of them were different.

This made him always think that the little girl might have some weird things, but there was a limit to the amount.

But now, looking at the square, where there was only one yesterday, and now there are hundreds of identical wooden guns shining coldly under the morning sun, he dared not think so.

I ask again, how perverted is that damn girl!!!

I wonder if she really has the ability to rule the world!
