〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

The night in late spring in the south of the Yangtze River is quiet and peaceful, with a cool breeze blowing, a pleasant moonlight, and ripples on one side of the green pool.

Xiao Zixian asked Lacy next to him: "You haven't been home all these years, did you go to see your father this time?"

"Third brother, the prodigal son has no home, so how can there be any return date?"

Xiao Zixian frowned, he never liked the temperament of the fourth brother, he was affectionate when he was soft, and unfeeling when he was cold.In the five years since he left Kaining, he has never written a letter to his family, nor has he contacted his family members, regardless of joy or sorrow.

"Lacy, you have to know, some things can't be forced, why do you insist on it all your life?"

Xiao Zixian didn't make the words too clear, but Lacy understood the meaning.

But Lacy just shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this, "It's changed, third brother. Is this title of master in the Central Plains restraining you? You used to be taciturn, but today you say such a polite and important truth, it really makes me laugh." Some, I'm not used to."

Xiao Zixian was puzzled: "Have I never said something similar before?"

"It's never been okay! Third brother, you always stay in the battlefield. When I went to play with you, you often kept silent, like a log. When you talk the most, you will not exceed four words , many times you simply nod your head and answer me."

Recalling the past, Lacy has mixed feelings.

"I've been in the Western Regions for a long time, so I came to the Central Plains for a walk when I felt bored." Lacy explained, "By the way, let's see how you have been doing these past few years, third brother. Now it seems that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not treat you badly. On the contrary, it made my third brother change a lot."

Xiao Zixian looked at the clear moonlight, sighed softly, and said, "I thought that you might never come to the Central Plains again in your life."

Lacy sneered, "Third Brother, why do you think so?"

Xiao Zixian didn't answer, just asked: "How long do you plan to stay in the Central Plains this time?"

"Uh, I haven't figured it out yet. I came with Second Uncle and the others, so I will go back with them."

"You came to the Central Plains with your second uncle?"

"Yes." Lacy admitted generously without hiding anything.

Xiao Zixian frowned after hearing this, "Then you've seen Second Uncle and you should know about Qingdi's Southern Tour and our plan?"

Lacy laughed and said, "I didn't know it at first, but I overheard something when I was looking for my second uncle today, and with the King's knot in mind, it's not hard to guess."

"Did the second uncle tell you to do something?"

"It's not like that, it's just nagging me a few words."

wrong!

Xiao Zixian felt more and more that something was wrong.Thinking of all the things I went to at the Western Regions Festival today, there seems to be something suspicious, after all...

"Could it be." Xiao Zixian turned his head suddenly, ignoring Lacy, and quickly returned to the inn with light work.

"Hey, third brother, where are you going?" Lacy called him, but didn't follow.After a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "If the ending is as Second Uncle expected, Third Brother, are you really willing?"

……

At this time, at the entrance of the inn, several masked men in black gathered.

They first took out the misty smoke, putting everyone in the inn into a deep sleep, and then they found the target to attack and acted separately.

Soon, Su Jiulian's room was opened.But the two father and son inside were sleeping soundly and did not hear any sound at all.

The visitor lit the candlestick on the table. He had a resolute face. He was Lacy's second uncle, the head of Qiu Rong of the Kaining Kingdom—calling.

Zhao Zhao bent down and hugged Su Ye.He also looked at Su Jiulian next to him, his eyes instantly darkened.

I remember that when I first met this man a few years ago, he was just a prince, and he met the princess of Kaining Kingdom because he was ordered to go to war, and then the two even got married.But now, the princess is dead, but the emperor hasn't changed much.

Unable to think about it, he took out the bayonet he had prepared in advance, gripped the handle tightly, and slowly pressed towards Su Jiulian's neck.

At the very moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the knife in Zhao Zhao's hand was also severely knocked down.

Zhao turned back viciously and said, "You shouldn't have come back!"

Xiao Zixian said: "Second Uncle, are you really using Lacy to distract me?"

"Why do you need to ask me if you know?"

Zhao Zhao bent down to pick up the knife, but Xiao Zixian took a quicker step and smashed the bayonet to the bottom of the bed with the stool.

"Are you against me, or against Kai Ning?" Zhao Zhao said angrily.

Xiao Zixian exhaled, and said, "Second Uncle, do you know that if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty died in the inn of the Southern Tour, how much disaster would it bring to the people here and to the city of Hangzhou?"

"so what?"

"Hangzhou is the only channel for communication between our Western Regions and the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Emperor died here, the entire Hangzhou city will be greatly implicated. At that time, not to mention exchanges, even the Hangzhou city will be closed. With With our current strength, we don't even have a [-]% chance of winning against the powerful Qing Dynasty!"

"You are trying to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige! Once the Qing Emperor dies, there will be chaos in the court, and it will be too late to fight for the throne. How can there be time to march and fight to protect the safety of the country?"

Xiao Zixian shook his head, "Second Uncle, don't think that all the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty are traitors and rebellious generals. The ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the governors of the Ministry of Officials, and the right ministers of the court are even more powerful. The elders of the three dynasties are loyal to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. [-]. If Qing Emperor dies, he will personally seize power and command the front lines. When the world is stable again, he will not be greedy for power, but will help Yeer to take over! Just like back then, Qing Emperor was also supported by him .”

"It's just an old man. In terms of fighting, can he beat you?"

"My talent is not half that of the right minister."

At this point, the caller did not answer, and the masked people who gathered outside the door were all at a loss, and the rich man Fang Zheng was among them.

At this point, Xiao Zixian is even more sure that everything that happened before has been arranged!

"Second Uncle, if you want to complete the plan smoothly, you have to think long-term and don't be impulsive."

After hearing what he said at this time, Zhao Zhao suddenly felt that he was indeed a little reckless, so he handed Su Ye into his hands and said, "This time it's up to you, I don't care what you think of the emperor." What kind of thoughts, but you remember, you are Kai Ning's general, and everything is based on Kai Ning!"

Xiao Zixian glanced at his second uncle and nodded.

Calling didn't say anything else, he gave the people outside the door a wink, and they all exited the inn.

Xiao Zixian put Su Ye back on the bed, then glanced at the sleeping father and son, and sighed leisurely.

……

After the sky cleared, Xiao Zixian was the last one to go downstairs.

Mo Zi lay down on the table listlessly and said: "There's no reason, I didn't have a dream last night, why did I wake up this morning with a backache? It's worse than not sleeping."

Ye Shuang also hammered his shoulders: "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed, my body is indeed quite sore."

Even Su Ye was a little uncomfortable: "I slept so deeply last night, I didn't hear a sound, but I didn't sleep well either."

Only Xiao Zixian knew that it was caused by a kind of witchcraft and drug in the Western Regions, and the reason why they fell into that drug was the root of the Red Hermit Tree yesterday.The merchant who wanted to sell this item must also be under the second uncle's subordinates. If he didn't find out last night, he might not see these people today.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Ye Shuang reached out and shook his hand in front of him, and said, "Master didn't sleep well last night?"

Xiao Zixian nodded as an answer.

The second day of the Western Regions Festival was still lively, and Mo Zi clamored to buy some treasures from the Western Regions, saying that he would bring them back to honor an old man.

Su Ye is willing to accompany Mo Zi to go out for a stroll. As long as Su Ye goes, he will definitely drag Xiao Zixian to go, and if Xiao Zixian goes, Su Jiulian will follow. Naturally, Ye Yi and Ye Shuang will definitely want to go. to protect theirs.

So, the people of this big family continued to visit the Western Regions Festival.

There are even many high-ranking officials and noble households who came from afar on the streets today, and they have a great time shopping with their families, and there are many new gadgets on the stalls.

Mo Zi picked out a lot of jades, antiques and precious silks, looking like a local tyrant.The only thing that made Ye Shuang dissatisfied was that this guy gave all the things he bought to him and his brother, so he was very happy.

"In front, can you not throw the things you bought to us? Do you know that they are very heavy?"

Mo Zi, who was holding Su Ye, turned her head and said, "What I have is the most important thing."

"It's clear that you are just talking nonsense with your eyes open!"

"No way." Mo Zi retorted, "Let me ask you, is child Su your little son?"

Ye Shuang nodded without hesitation, what's the point?

I'm not crazy!

"Then I'll ask you again. The market is crowded with people coming and going. Is it easy for Su Xiaobai to be scattered in this crowd?"

"En." Ye Shuang then nodded.

"Then it's over. In order not to let Su Xiaobai get lost with us, someone must carry him away! So what I hold in my hand is much more important than yours, and I have no complaints at all." ah!"

Ye Shuang gritted her teeth: "You guys, you can speak eloquently!"

Mo Zi was proud: "This can be regarded as an advantage! Many people are not envious."

"..."

Ye Shuang inexplicably wanted to throw all the things in his hand on Mo Zi's face.

Special undershoot!

Ye Yi freed up a hand to help him grab all the things in his hand, Ye Shuang looked at his brother's profile, and decided not to be as knowledgeable as Mo Zi!

Mo Zi laughed and said, "It's so sweet."

"That is." Ye Shuang was proud, "You can't envy you."

Xiao Zixian felt that this person should not be an ordinary figure in the world, his martial arts Xiao Zixian couldn't get to the bottom of it, it was very different from ordinary martial arts people.

Xiao Zixian didn't know much about the Wulin sect in the Central Plains, but he had heard of the more famous sects.For example, Wudang, who walks the world with swords, Tangmen, the king of poison, and Shushan, who is hidden and mysterious, are all outstanding in the martial arts world, but I don’t know which one Mo Zi is.

Seeing Xiao Zixian contemplating, Su Jiulian said softly, "This person doesn't seem like an extremely evil person."

Xiao Zixian nodded, "Indeed, otherwise, I wouldn't let him go with us."

"Although I haven't been to many places during this southern tour, do you think there is something inappropriate?"

"No, it's really great to be able to see the prosperity and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty with my own eyes."

Su Jiulian smiled after hearing this, "If you want to see these prosperity in the future, then we can come to the south again, as long as you are still by my side at that time."

Xiao Zixian's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he felt that Emperor Qing had seen through his identity.

Mo Zi patted his chin and looked at Ye Yi, and commented in his heart: This person is also good-looking, resolute and upright, gentle and considerate, he is a good candidate!

As soon as Ye felt that Mo Zi was staring at him, he also turned his head to look at him, but the two of them looked at each other, Mo Zi froze for a moment, then smiled and turned away.

Ye Yi suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

The Uighur wine from the Western Regions has a unique taste. It has both the mellow aroma of wine and a natural taste. It is one of the favorite wines for foreigners.It has not been transported to Hangzhou city yesterday, but today it has been placed in front of stalls in various places and has been patronized by many people.Put together with it, there are delicious goat milk, milk wine, highland barley brew, crisp tea and fruit, etc. The fragrance is also extremely attractive.

Seeing things from his hometown appearing in the Central Plains, Xiao Zixian really missed them, so he asked the owner in front of the stall unconsciously.

The foreign boss is young, with a straight nose, he is a handsome guy.

When he heard Xiao Zixian say the same words as himself, he replied very enthusiastically.

When fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, the conversation is very long.

Seeing Xiao Zixian chatting so happily with the foreigner, Mo Zi asked, "Child Su, which country is your teacher from the Western Regions?"

"The teacher's hometown seems to be nomadic, and there is no fixed residence."

"I see." Mo Zi turned to look at Su Jiulian, "Father Su, have you ever been to Master's hometown?"

Ye Shuang's eyebrows twitched. Papa Su is really outspoken, Mo Zi!

Su Jiu repeatedly said, "I've been there."

"That's just right. Let's go to the Western Regions next time. I've never been there before. Riding horses and singing songs, galloping across the grasslands, let you enjoy yourselves!"

Ye Shuang shook his head, "How is it possible to go? The Western Regions are so far away from the Qing Dynasty, and the light journey will take more than ten days."

"It's more than ten days, not more than ten years. We are all idlers in the rivers and lakes, why not?" Mo Zi asked.

"We have our own places to go, is it possible that after visiting Hangzhou City, you still want to pester us?!"

Mo Ziwu counted the days by himself, and he seemed to have something to do, so he replied with a smile: "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

Xiao Zixian walked in front of them with two jugs of wine, and said: "The highland barley brewed in my hometown tastes very good. If there is nothing to do at night, we can have a few drinks."

Su Ye asked very interestedly: "Teacher, does Ye'er also have a share?"

"Young master, it's good to drink fragrant and pure goat's milk. It just arrived today, and it's very fresh."

Su Ye nodded, he didn't drink this stuff either.

While chatting, there was a sudden chaos in front, as if someone was arguing, and the surrounding people gradually moved closer to that side.

Mo Zi was curious, "It's broad daylight, what happened? Let's go and have a look."
