Princess Against the World

Who knows——

From a distance, they saw a dark figure standing in the wind in front of the old ancestral hall.

"Uncle Huang?" Guye raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop.

Huang Laojing's motionless body swayed, as if he had moved his hands and feet, and then he walked tremblingly to one side and lit a lantern with flint.

"You guys are here in such a hurry at midnight... there must be something urgent!"

Holding a lantern, Mr. Huang walked forward unsteadily, in the dejected state of an octogenarian.

"It's just that I don't know if you did this urgent matter yourself, or did you follow the clan leader's orders?"

Guye looked around -

The old man didn't sleep in the middle of the night, obviously waiting for them.

only--

How did he know they were coming! ?

Moreover, are you prepared in advance? !

"What's wrong? Did my old man's words not be clear enough?"

Huang Lao picked up the lantern, squinted his eyes, and looked at Guye and others with difficulty.

"My old eyesight is so dim that I can't see clearly who you are... Young masters, could you tell me your family names so that I can register them here?"

Guye hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped forward and put his face under the light.

"Old Uncle Huang, it's me, Guye...the one next to the patriarch..."

"Beside the clan leader?"

Mr. Huang held the lantern high, and then the light looked at him carefully several times before nodding.

"Well, it's a bit like... I have the impression that it's called... what is it?"

"Gu Ye..."

"Gou Ye? Your surname is Gou? You said your surname is Gou, why are you called Ye? It sounds like a wild dog!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Before Guye said anything, the men behind him were unwilling and stepped forward with loud scoldings.

"Old guy, who are you? How dare you scold Master Gu like this..."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap came.

He received a hard slap on the face.

"Who are you? How dare you talk to Mr. Huang like this!?" After Guye slapped him, he kicked him fiercely in the back: "Who is Mr. Huang? He is the colleague of the old patriarch. Brother, you are not worthy of carrying Mr. Huang's shoes because of your status, but you still dare to speak nonsense here and seek death!"

The subordinate received a slap, feeling aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only accept it.

However, when he retreated, he glared at Mr. Huang fiercely.

Huang Lao stood there as if the matter had nothing to do with him, as if nothing had happened just now.

Even his eyes were dull.

Guye stepped forward, cupped his fists and bowed: "Old Uncle Huang, I came here late at night because something unexpected happened. I was ordered by the clan leader to come here to do something. Originally, I didn't want to disturb you, because you are old and have swallowed too much. Late at night, it’s time to rest, I didn’t expect you, old man, to have already..."

He glanced at the lantern and then behind him, half-smiling.

"Old man Huang, are you waiting for me in the middle of the night?"

"I am the night watchman of the old ancestral temple, night watchman... Mr. Dog, do you know what I mean?

It seems that he didn't hear Guye's self-introduction just now, Huang Lao still insisted on calling himself.

"This night watchman is to keep this place safe at night! Mr. Dog, don't you think so?"

The corner of Guye's mouth twitched, and he smiled with almost gritted teeth: "It's... my duty, my job! If it were me, I would do the same!"
