The baby-making system is unreliable

Why? There are three reasons. First, the flow of people is complicated and difficult to control. Second, the granaries are full of abundance and everyone wants it. Third, the relationships between merchants are complicated and it is difficult to find the people behind the scenes.

How to control Xuanbo and the other two states is still hard to say. If... nothing happened to the imperial palace back then, maybe the situation would be better than it is now!!

After all, until now, the Ma family has occupied a place in Xuanzhou, but since the incident in the empress, the remaining descendants have been wandering in the market, and it is difficult to find their trace.

Yao Wenjin dragged his old body down the stairs step by step, left the palace and returned home in the heavy snow, then saw a man standing in the hall. He was overjoyed to see him.

"Master, you have worked hard. I returned to Beijing early today and came to pay my respects to you."

Shi Yubai was wearing a moon-white gown with fluttering sleeves, making him look like an immortal. He came slowly, and every step seemed to be on the clouds.

He had a handsome appearance, with a faint smile between his eyebrows. Every move he made revealed a kind of indifference that was beyond the mundane world.

He came before his master and bowed respectfully, his movements graceful and smooth, without the slightest hint of affectation.

The river is green, the birds are whiter, the mountains are green, and the flowers are about to bloom. He is like the water birds in the river, the red reflections in the mountains, free and unrestrained, like a banished immortal.

"Yubai, it has been more than a few months since I went to Xuanbo. Have you gained anything?"

Yao Wenjin sat at the top, brushed the dust off his clothes, took a sip of tea, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, he had been in power for more than 30 years. He had neither the support of aristocratic families nor any cliques for personal gain. He was no stranger to the intrigues and deceptions in the court.

He is a man who truly relies on his passion and, despite being a child of a poor family, has fought in the court to this day.

It is precisely because of this that he is highly respected among the children of poor families and has many disciples all over the world. Among them, his favorite disciple is Shi Yubai.

"I have traveled all over the world and have seen and felt a lot. I don't know where to start." Shi Yubai had traveled all over the world and knew a lot about things outside the capital. He respectfully presented the things entrusted by his master.

Shi Yubai was very smart since he was young. He could recognize a thousand words at the age of three. At the age of six, he became Yao Wenjin's disciple and read all the books in Yao's collection. At the age of ten, he could write policy essays, and his talent was highly praised by Yao Wenjin.

He is the eldest son of the Shi family, one of the six aristocratic families in the court. The ancestors of the Shi family were quite prestigious among the civil officials in the court. Although they have not been in the secular world for many years, the influence of their family is still there.

His grandfather was also one of the people who knew about the treason case, but no one dared to mention it, and His Majesty also deliberately ignored the Shi family.

To this day, no one from the Shi family has served in the imperial court. They have retreated to their hometown, away from the disputes in the imperial court, probably due to the suppression by the emperor.

As a result, Shi Yubai was kept away from the court and had no place to display his ambitions. Fortunately, he had a good temper and would just laugh it off when not appreciated, and did not care. He liked to travel around and participate in some idle talks in his spare time.

"Oh, by the way, Master, I have already found out what you said. The whole experience of that young master Ji is all on it."

Yao Wenjin took the letter he sent, unfolded it, and thought for a while.

"I have something for you to do. Leave the capital today and don't come back."

Yao Wenjin called him forward, spoke something in his ear, and he listened carefully for a while.

Shi Yubai looked up, and although he didn't understand the reason, he finally nodded in agreement. He bowed slightly, turned around, disappeared, and left.

……

The snow fell for several days and finally stopped. A caravan quietly entered the territory of Aozhou, and the owner of the caravan went straight to the largest place of entertainment in Aozhou.

"Miss, it would be bad for us to sneak out without the consent of our son-in-law."

Hongye followed Yun Xirou, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and the two of them entered the largest underground gambling house in Aozhou, one in front and one behind.

"What do I want to do? Don't you know? Anyway, he is not here today. Who knows where he went today?"

Yun Xirou rubbed her hands indifferently, squinted her eyes to look at the surrounding environment, and nimbly entered the underground gambling house.

She didn't care where Ye Lin went, and he naturally didn't need to care what she did.

Yun Xirou's purpose is to have a baby and complete the side quest, otherwise she came here just to have fun! ? She came here to make money! !

Thinking of this, she subconsciously protected her stomach. As early as the first time, Yun Xirou had already taken the twin pill, and after Tongzi's reminder, she came directly to the gambling house.

The reason I came here today is because I can make money quickly here. Although it is not a long-term solution, it can solve my urgent problem.

This place is still a little cold. Even Yun Xirou is like this, the soldiers in the north must have an even harder time.

"Hey, fuck, you're lucky, aren't you? Why don't I have your luck?!"

It seems that a certain guy below has been winning all the time, causing dissatisfaction among some people.

The boy looked very well behaved, with a hint of shyness on his fair and clean face. He had two small canine teeth and spoke very well. His pair of bright big eyes were clear and transparent.

"Hehe, it's just pure luck, what's the big deal?! My... 'master' is short of money, so I'm just here to make some money!"

He held the dice in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, looked up and saw Yun Xirou, and smiled a faint smile.

He has been here for the past two or three days and has won a lot of money. Now he is just waiting for his master and the people behind him to show up.

"Old Mu, you still dare to bet with him?! Who was the one who lost everything last time?! Huh?"

Then there was a burst of laughter and a noisy noise from the audience. Old Mu, who was framed, became so angry that he reached out and punched the guy.

"Shut up, you bastard. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you show off in front of me?!"

The boy was not tall. He squinted his eyes and blocked the incoming fist with one hand, easily taking on Lao Mu's moves.

"Why do you want to fight? You...are not qualified yet!!"

"You...how dare you talk to me like that!" Old Mu widened his eyes in disbelief, his face full of anger and astonishment.

He clenched his fists tightly, and said in a low and threatening voice: "Do you know who I am? I am..."

"Hmph, who cares who you are!" the child interrupted with disdain, with a scornful smile on his lips.

"In my eyes, you are just a nuisance!" He said this word by word, with a firm light in his eyes. After saying this, he didn't wait for the other party to react, and suddenly raised his leg and hit him hard.

The kick landed hard on the opponent's stomach, causing him to fall to the ground unexpectedly. The child did not stop there, and kicked him several more times, each with great force.

Lao Mu seemed to have his own men, a group of tall and strong men who looked very fierce. They rushed out directly and wanted to beat the children.

Seeing this, the kid was not in a hurry. He waved the thin knife in his hand, and a sharp gust of wind directly hit the faces of these people! This force was even more fierce than when he hit the two guards just now!

The people brought by Lao Mu were caught off guard. Some of them were chopped and flew out, falling to the ground, while others were knocked out and hit the wall beside them, making a dull impact sound.

Although these people were tall and strong, they were directly suppressed by the child, and for a while no one could get close to him.

But in a short while, the farce had become out of control and caused quite a commotion. However, the child seemed unaffected and attacked the attacker mercilessly, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Yun Xirou stood quietly on the second floor, watching the group of people below shouting like this. After watching for a while, the master of the family sent someone over.

"Please stop arguing. This place is under the jurisdiction of someone. It is not a place for fighting and chaos."

As soon as this voice came out, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at the person who spoke.

I saw a man in a black robe slowly walking towards me. He had a gloomy face and eyes as sharp as an eagle, making people dare not look directly at him.

"My dear brother, what is your name? I am Yan Wu, the shopkeeper here. Since you are here, please ask your master to come out. Didn't you say you wanted to see our master? The master is here, but where is your master?"

Yan Wu's voice was filled with anger, and veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he was obviously very angry. If he stopped playing for half a day, he would lose tens of millions, not to mention that this kid won a small amount.

"I'm Qi Le, who are you?! My master is far away in the sky, but he's also right in front of me, look there!"

Following Qi Le's signal, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Xirou and her servant. Yun Xirou slowly took off her heavy cloak.

Her eyes were calm and firm as she stared straight at Yan Wu in front of her, without any intention of retreating.

"You've been waiting here for many days. Would you like to talk?" Yun Xirou's voice was calm and powerful, as if it contained an irresistible force. Her eyes were firm and confident.

The people around were stunned by this sudden change. They stared with wide eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief.

However, Yun Xirou did not care about other people's reactions, her attention was completely focused on Yan Wu.

Yan Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. After he stared at Yun Yirou for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Yun Yirou. I've heard of the great name of Yiyiwei for a long time, and today I see that it's really as good as its reputation!!"

Yan Wu's tone was somewhat teasing. He glanced at Qi Le below, thinking that he must be a woman dressed as a man. However, he didn't seem surprised by Yun Xirou's appearance.

He slowly walked in front of Yun Yurou, and the distance between them gradually closed: "I heard that you are married, right? How come you have time to come to me? Could it be that your husband is indulging in romantic affairs and doesn't care about you, a beautiful lady!?"

Yun Yurou raised her chin slightly and responded without showing any weakness: "I didn't expect to see you here, Yan Wu. Is this gambling house your territory?!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it carried a sense of determination, and the atmosphere around them became tense.

"Let's talk somewhere else so as not to disturb everyone's elegance, what do you think?"

Yan Wu raised a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and winked at Old Mu while speaking. It seemed that he was taken away to another place. Seeing that the excitement was gone and the people had dispersed, they moved to another place, leaving only the master and servants drinking together.

This place is really rich, very rich. The decoration of this room is really luxurious.

Above his head, a fist-sized night-shining pearl emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire room. On the wall hung several paintings and calligraphy by famous people, revealing a heroic spirit between the flying dragons and phoenixes.

The floor is covered with a thick cashmere carpet, which is so soft and comfortable that one feels as if they are walking on clouds. In the compartment, there is a jade incense burner, in which precious spices are burning, emitting bursts of fragrance that lift one's spirits.

In addition, there are some rare antiques in the room, such as blue and white porcelain vases, purple clay pots, etc., all of which are priceless. Putting these things together, it is simply a small treasure house!

"Don't you want to have a drink? It's the best Dahongpao. It would be a waste if I don't try it!" Yan Wu narrowed his eyes, took a sip of tea, tapped the teacup lightly, and put it back in its place.

Yun Yurou looked at him without making any move. Her body was not suitable for drinking tea, so she directly refused: "No, I dare not drink this tea."

"We are here to discuss cooperation, not to reminisce about the past. But Boss Yan, your business is really big!" Yun Xirou looked at Yan Wu and said calmly, but Hongye, who was familiar with her, knew that her master had murderous intentions.

They had met Yan Wu before. He was in the wine-making business and had business dealings with the Second Young Master. The northern border was bitterly cold, and the soldiers needed strong liquor to help them withstand the biting cold wind at night.

I never thought that he was also the owner of this gambling house, and this house was really luxurious, so he must have made a lot of profit.

What's more, that old Mu and his group below... I'm afraid they are not here to gamble, but to discuss business.

Yan Wufeng's hand stopped in the air, paused, and then retracted it: "Miss Yun, you are too kind. My small business is not comparable to your Yiyi Guards."

"Let's be frank. You and I are both straightforward people. I don't want to beat around the bush with you. It's pointless." Yun Xirou's eyes were slightly cold. She raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing with indifference and determination.

She straightened her spine, and the soft whip at her waist trembled slightly with her movements, as if she was expecting something.

She reached out and grasped the whip handle without hesitation, and lashed it out with force. With a swing of the long whip, she whipped the man to the ground, so hard that he couldn't even get up.

"I want you..." Yun Yurou slowly approached him, her voice low and firm, every word full of murderous intent. Her eyes were fixed on the other person, and the anger in her eyes burned more and more fiercely.

"Die!" The last word exploded like thunder, and she swung the whip in her hand fiercely. With an unstoppable force, she went straight to the opponent's vital point.

Yan Wu's face changed, and he looked at the man in front of him in panic. His face was as dark as a demon from hell, and he shouted to the outside: "Someone come! There is such a big commotion, where are the people?! Are they all dead? "
