Chapter 6 is scheduled to commence

What is going on? At that moment, a middle-aged man emerged from the room and spoke to the frightened little girl.

Oh. Upon hearing this, Li Niu suddenly remembered that there was something very important today. With a quick movement, he straightened himself up, glanced outside, and seeing no one around, he quietly slipped out through the back door. It is unclear who they were actually afraid would discover them. Perhaps, here, no one particularly cares about them at all

Who is it outside? It's the middle of the night, and the howling is unbearable. Can't anyone get some sleep!

"What does it feel like to be seen by a little girl?" Wei Ming said with a crooked smile. While speaking, he was also tidying up his clothes and checking the items he needed to bring. Well, in fact, there wasn't much to take; all he had on him was twenty-eight yuan and fifty cents, a second-hand mobile phone, half a pack of cigarettes, and a lighter. The cigarettes were the most crucial item today. Whether he could succeed depended on them. So, Wei Ming deliberately took out the cigarettes and straightened them one by one. The bumps of the past few days had left the cigarettes a bit wrinkled.

"What time is it now?" Wei Ming opened his bleary eyes, still not fully aware. He reached out and patted Li Niu behind him, saying, "Li Niu, what time is it now?"

Oh, it's noon. Huh? No, wait! Wei Ming jumped up three feet high, startling Li Niu into jumping as well. Li Niu then realized that he might have made a mistake again

"Ah, no, it's nothing," the little girl said weakly, lowering her head. She had just recognized the two people; they had moved in yesterday. Moreover, she was the one who had welcomed them when they arrived. They specifically requested to stay in the woodshed. Initially, the boss was not in favor of it. However, seeing how pitiful Li Niu looked, the little girl spoke a few kind words in front of the boss, which led to this arrangement. If the boss were to find out about today's incident, wouldn't he just drive them away again? The little girl, being inherently kind-hearted, could not bring herself to do such a thing.

"Oh my goodness, boss, that really scared me to death just now." Li Niu returned to the room and lay back down on the haystack, gasping for breath. It seems that this fellow was indeed quite frightened.

I, Wei Ming, have come today specifically to present treasures to His Highness, King Qin!" Wei Ming replied loudly. The volume of his voice was considerable. Wei Ming did not place any hope in the gatekeeper. He estimated that someone like this, in such a special situation today, would surely downplay significant matters and trivialize minor ones. Not to mention him, even if it were Wei Ming himself, it would be the same. If Wei Ming were allowed in, even if he truly presented treasures and pleased King Qin, it would not concern the gatekeeper at all. If Wei Ming had ulterior motives and intended to assassinate King Qin, then the gatekeeper would be in serious trouble. In such circumstances, only a fool would let you in.

Forget it, my friend, I will give it my all. At worst, I will sleep on the streets in the future. I refuse to believe that in the Great Ming Dynasty, I, Wei Ming, won't even be able to have a meal. Let's go!" Saying this, he grabbed Li Niu and headed straight for the main gate of the Qin Wang Mansion

"Then m.hetushu.com, you all wait here, I will go inform you." Saying this, he quickly ran inside

Ah! Li Niu was awakened by Wei Ming, yawned, stretched lazily, and then said drowsily: "It must be almost noon by now"

The sound of the guests cursing jolted Wei Ming and Li Niu out of their shock. Wei Ming gave Li Niu a hard nudge, signaling him with his eyes to make a quick escape. Li Niu, realizing the situation a moment too late, nodded in agreement. Each grabbed a water scoop to cover their vital parts and swiftly ran away.

Enough, enough, enough, don't say anymore. Wei Ming waved his hand, showing no intention of delving deeper. It was noon, and by this time, the Qin Wangfu should have started serving meals. The aroma of wine and dishes could be smelled from here. It would be impossible to sneak in and pass through unnoticed. Even if I were to scold Li Niu to death, it would be of no use. It is better to think of other practical solutions.

What else is there to say! Seeing this guy go on and on, Wei Ming gave him a kick. At this moment, he had already packed his things and said to Li Niu: "Alright, let's hurry up and go. We need to get there early. We have to find a suitable opportunity to blend in. If we arrive late, those nobles will be drunk, and there will be no business for us. I certainly don't want to keep sleeping in this shabby little house." If we arrive late, those nobles will be drunk, and there will be no business for us. I certainly don't want to keep sleeping in this shabby little house.

Ah, what you are saying is that there is a tingling sensation on the body, and a feeling of itchiness in the heart, as if being scratched by a cat. Also...

Come on, it seems that not many people have arrived yet, let's eat something first. Wei Ming grabbed Li Niu's package and took out a piece of clothing to drape over himself. He then pulled out two corn cakes, giving one to Li Niu and keeping one for himself, devouring it hungrily. In his previous life, he had only heard that it could snow in summer during the Ming Dynasty, and Wei Ming could never understand how it was possible for it to snow in summer. Could it be that Dou E had traveled to the Ming Dynasty? However, it now seemed that there was indeed a possibility of that. It was June, for goodness' sake, why was it so cold? It was not an exaggeration to say that the late Ming Dynasty was the coldest period in a thousand years.

Damn it, I told you to call me, how could you fall asleep! What are you doing! Wei Ming was so angry inside. How did I end up with such an unreliable person? My plans have been completely disrupted by him

"Stop! What are you doing!" From a distance, they were intercepted by the guards of the Qin Wang Mansion. This was to be expected. After all, the Qin Wang is a king, and not just anyone can meet him. Moreover, today the Qin Wang is hosting a grand banquet for guests; if someone reckless were to charge in with a knife and cause chaos, the reputation of the Qin Wang Mansion would truly be ruined.

After the two finished eating, they found themselves with nothing to do. Wei Ming originally wanted to smoke a cigarette, but after some thought, he decided against it. These things are precious; they are the capital for his future endeavors. If he smoked them all, he would have nothing left. How could he pursue what he wanted to do then? At this point, it was already getting bright, and pedestrians began to appear on the streets. However, the gates of the Qin Wang Mansion remained tightly closed. It seemed this fellow was not a diligent person after all. He had overestimated him. After idling for a while and feeling somewhat drowsy, he said to Li Niu, "Keep an eye on things; I’ll take a nap for a bit. Wake me when the Qin Wang Mansion opens." Saying this, he placed a piece of clothing under him, covered himself with another, leaned against a large tree, and dozed off.

This sleep lasted until the sun was high in the sky. Wei Ming was still awakened by the bustling sounds of the crowd. Passersby occasionally pointed and commented on the two of them.

Oh. Li Niu is also quite tired. In fact, when he used to work as a shop assistant at Night Jasmine, life was rather comfortable. Although the common people did not live well, the nobles certainly did not miss a meal. The cosmetics of the noble ladies were also never lacking. Originally, those items were luxury goods, and even in peaceful times, very few ordinary people would patronize them. Even when the world was in chaos, their impact on them was minimal. Ever since he followed Wei Ming, he has been waking up early and going to bed late every day, which is quite exhausting. Before long, the sound of snoring came from Wei Ming's side, making Li Niu feel a bit sleepy as well. He thought to himself that he would just rest his eyes for a moment, as long as he didn't fall asleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, everything went dark, and the snoring began. It was perfectly in sync with Wei Ming's. One sound after another, it was almost becoming a symphony.

The inn is still some distance from the Qin Wang Mansion. By the time they reached the entrance of the mansion, the sky had already begun to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Indeed, why are you howling? If you don't want to sleep, others still need to rest! How frustrating.

What kind of quality is that! Call again and I will throw you to the chaotic graveyard outside the picture book city!

"Go away, go away! Wherever it's cool, go stay there. How dare you cause a ruckus in front of the Qin Wang's residence? Kid, are you tired of living?" The guard's thoughts were similar to Wei Ming's. In fact, most people who watch the gate think this way. When Wei Ming was in college, he worked part-time and had also been a gatekeeper, so he understood the ins and outs of the job. Seeing that no one seemed to be coming out, he quickly took out some silver from his pocket and quietly slipped it into the guard's hand, whispering, "Brother, could you please just give a word? We truly have treasures to present to the Qin Wang. If the Qin Wang is pleased with these treasures, wouldn't that be a good fortune for the entire Qin Wang residence? Moreover, today is the day of the grand banquet for the Qin Wang's guests. At this time, if someone presents treasures to the Qin Wang, how much face would that give him! And when the time comes, you won't be left out either, brother!"

I apologize, boss. Li Niu felt somewhat ashamed, lowering his head and unsure of what to say.

"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night? Hurry up and fetch water to cook. The guests will be up soon and need to eat," the boss said irritably. He turned and walked away, muttering to himself as he went, "Yelling like ghosts in the dead of night, what’s the point? With this little bit of family business, you’ll ruin it all sooner or later." As the boss walked further away, the sounds became increasingly faint. The little girl touched her gradually developing chest, took a deep breath, glanced in the direction the two had fled, and recalled the earlier scene, her face flushed as she let out a light laugh. Turning away, she continued to mutter, "Yelling like ghosts in the middle of the night, what’s the point? With this little bit of family business, you’ll ruin it all sooner or later." As the boss walked further away, the sounds became increasingly faint. The little girl touched her gradually developing chest, took a deep breath, glanced in the direction the two had fled, and recalled the earlier scene, her face flushed as she let out a light laugh. She spat again and softly said, "Shameless." Then she picked up a bucket and began to fetch water, and another busy day commenced.
