Chapter 100 Is there anyone?

Because the thousand-mile horses in the Zhongwu Hou Mansion have good endurance, they traveled all night long and finally arrived at the original plan to settle down before Qi Mingxing came out.

Amu first stepped forward and clasped the gate of a yard and whispered to the people in the yard. "Is anyone?"

"Young Master, you are here. I am afraid that you will arrive in the middle of the night, so I keep waiting at this door and listening to the movement."

An old man with a hunchbacked silver hair called the young master to Amu. He seemed to be very familiar with Amu.

"Uncle Diao, you are tired. It's almost dawn, so you go and rest for a while. There are me and Amu here, so we can take care of ourselves." Hou Zhongwu stepped forward and called respectfully to the hunched silver-haired old man.

"Mr. Marquis, I can't even have time to be happy, so I can't bear anything. When I saw Fei Ge sending a letter, I learned that you were going to pass by here. I changed all the quilts and mattresses in this room in advance.

It’s not dawn yet, I’ll give you some hot water, wash your face and sleep in this yard for a while before leaving.”

Seeing that Uncle Diao had already filled the hot water with enthusiasm, it was hard for Zhongwu Hou to push it away.

"Uncle Diao, you are still caring." Hou Zhongwu stepped forward and hugged the silver-haired old man.

Uncle Diao held the hand of Zhongwu Hou and looked at it with a heartache. "Mr. Marquis, you have lost weight."

Hou Zhongwu touched his face, "Uncle Diao, I am thin now, and now I am also a little old man."

When Zhongwu Hou was the prince, Uncle Diao was already a member of the Zhongwu Hou, so he had a master-servant relationship with Zhongwu Hou and a father-son relationship.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Diao is the old housekeeper of our Zhongwu Marquis Mansion. Uncle Diao grew up watching me. I am very happy to see Uncle Diao's long and healthy life. I am grateful for the blessing God has given Uncle Diao."

The Marquis of Zhongwu believed in heaven and fate. He believed that as long as people did good deeds, they would get blessings. Therefore, he felt that the reason why Uncle Diao was able to grow old came from God's blessings to Uncle Diao.

After Uncle Diao retreated, Marquis Zhongwu talked about Uncle Diao’s past at Marquis Zhongwu’s mansion to Wu Di, Liao Yanzhao, Amu, and Anu.

"Speaking of this, Uncle Diao is the benefactor of our Zhongwu Marquis Mansion. A treacherous minister falsely accused my father from the late emperor. Fortunately, Uncle Diao reported the information in time, so the Marquis Mansion avoided a catastrophe.

In order to repay Uncle Diao's life-saving grace, my father wanted to recognize Uncle Diao as his righteous brother, but he was opposed by Uncle Diao.

Uncle Diao said that he was originally from the Marquis' Mansion, and he prospered and lost.

For this reason, he rejected any reward my father gave him, and also refused to follow the reputation my father gave him.

Uncle Diao said that he only needs to be able to retire to the mountains and forests when he gets old.

So when Uncle Diao was old, according to Uncle Diao's wishes, we chose to build a small courtyard for Uncle Diao."

When he talked about this, Zhongwuhou paused for a while, "So, Your Majesty, this is one of the reasons why I refuse you to return to the court."

Mr. Zhongwu was right. If he went to the imperial city, he would not be able to take care of Uncle Diao who lives here.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for my previous recklessness. Ajing promises you that I respect your decision and let you live the life you want."

When the Hou Zhongwu heard this, he knelt in front of Wu Di excitedly, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Hou Zhongwu was kneeling on the ground again, Wu Di hurried forward and helped Hou Zhongwu up.

"Cousin, haven't we all agreed before that when there is no one around, you don't have to kneel down. Your kneeling will ruin Ajing."

Seeing that the Marquis of Zhongwu was polite to Wu Di again, Liao Yanzhao was afraid that the two uncles and nephews would delay their rest time, so he was busy interjecting.
