Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong felt that Xiao Xuexing's ability to see his handwriting was not a guess, Xiao Xuexing could tell with just one glance.

Because Xiao Zirong used the copybook he wrote to copy at the beginning, and he has many habits like him when writing, and he hasn't changed it until now.

Xiao Xuexing was a little surprised when he saw the font, and read it carefully.

He looked at it for half an hour. Originally, Ling Fu had already stood by and prepared to rescue King Xuancheng after his highness gave an order. However, he didn't expect that after he started reading the letter, his highness's posture would be astonishing. It hasn't changed.

Ling Fu sneaked a look at Xiao Xuexing's expression, but he couldn't read his thoughts at all, and was very curious about what was written in that letter that made His Royal Highness so embarrassed.

Just when Ling Fu was thinking about whether to say something, Xiao Xuexing moved suddenly. He folded the letter very slowly, lowered his head and said calmly: "You all go out first."

Ling Fu was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness?"

Xiao Xuexing closed his eyes: "Get out!"

Although Ling Fu was a little puzzled, he still led the scout out.

The scout was quite happy at first, although he was humiliated by those little ladies, but at least he brought back news, which is better than nothing.

But now Xiao Xuexing's abnormal behavior made him a little uneasy. After he came out, he couldn't help asking Ling Fu in a low voice: "Captain, look... Your Highness..."

Ling Fu raised his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, go on down, I will remember your merits, wait until His Highness is free to talk about it, don't worry."

The scout was not worried at all, his superiors would never withhold military industry, and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was even more generous, he was truly worried about Xiao Xuexing.

Because the regent's reaction was not what they expected, didn't the regent want to save King Xuancheng?

Ling Fu was also puzzled, and at the same time worried. When Xiao Xuexing spoke just now, his voice was trembling with forbearance. If there is anything to tell him to go there as soon as possible.

And after they all left, Xiao Xuexing sat on the seat with his eyes blank, as if he had thought a lot in his mind, but he seemed to be thinking about nothing.

He didn't know what mood he should be in at this time. Xiao Zirong wrote in the letter politely and restrainedly. He didn't write too much. He only said that his life is very good now and he doesn't want to change anymore. He thinks he is still more suitable. the lives of ordinary people.

Xiao Xuexing recalled the previous time when they looked at each other, he thought he had accidentally missed it, but now thinking about it, Xiao Zirong was actually avoiding him.

It turned out...he wasn't imprisoned, he just... didn't want to see himself.

When thinking of this, Xiao Xuexing only felt a pain in the palm of the hand holding the letter.

Although Xiao Zirong didn't write anything else, Xiao Xuexing saw a lot from it.

He has experienced so much, how could he fail to see that Xiao Zirong was actually explaining one thing from the beginning to the end: he didn't believe in Xiao Xuexing, nor did he believe in Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuexing slowly turned his head and looked out the window.

Although the leaves will not wither in winter in the south, it is still a little worse than the luxuriance in midsummer, which reflects his mood at this time.

He suddenly laughed at himself, feeling that he deserved not to be trusted.

No matter how nice the words of the so-called winner, prince, and loser thief, they can't conceal the fact that he is a traitor and traitor at all.

There is nothing wrong with Xiao Zirong not believing him. If he has other ways to retreat, he doesn't need to risk his life to believe him.

Xiao Xuexing looked at the jade pendant in his hand and threw it out of the window casually, and looked down at the letter. He wanted to throw it into the charcoal stove, but he hesitated before throwing it in. Feeling reluctant, he smoothed it carefully and put it in the oven. In the lacquer box that he always carried with him.

This was probably the last time he corresponded with Xiao Zirong, and the last meeting that wasn't a meeting might also be the last time they saw each other.

Xiao Zirong said that he had a good life and didn't want others to disturb him, so Xiao Xuexing decided to follow his wishes.

The noise of Xiao Xuexing throwing the jade pendant was not small, Ling Fu ran to the window when he heard it, and a servant happened to pass by, picked up the broken jade pendant and stood there in a state of bewilderment.

When Ling Fu saw those broken pieces of jade in the past, his heart skipped a beat.

This is King Xuancheng's stuff, but he knows how much his Royal Highness treasures King Xuancheng's stuff. Originally, King Xuancheng's salutes are well put away, and Xuancheng is also taking care of it, and wants to wait for King Xuancheng to come back. Then send him there safely.

Now that he actually threw this jade pendant out, it can be seen that he is very angry.

But even if the other party made him angry, he shouldn't throw this jade pendant. Could it be that King Xuancheng did something?

Seeing Ling Fu, the servant immediately saluted, and asked hesitantly, "Captain, this..."

Ling Fu thought for a while and stretched out his hand and said, "Give this to me."

The servants quickly handed over the jade pieces to him with a relieved expression on their faces.

Ling Fu went back to the door and put it together carefully, but because the jade pendant fell a bit hard, there were gaps in some places and it was impossible to piece it together into a complete jade pendant.

Ling Fu sighed and took a bag to put it in, thinking that he might have to look for it again after His Royal Highness calmed down.

Not long after, he heard a coughing sound from inside, followed by Xiao Xuexing shouting: "Ling Fu, come in."

Ling Fu immediately went in, but as soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Xuexing, who was still fine just now, leaning on the ledge and closing his eyes, the sun shone in from the window, making his face paler and paler.

Ling Fu was really taken aback. Why did His Royal Highness seem to be much weaker in just such a short time? What's wrong?

After he came in, Xiao Xuexing opened his eyes, and said with a little tiredness in his eyes: "I just received the news that the Northern Wei Dynasty plans to land at the pier in the east. You send people to guard there, and don't let them leave Maomaotou Mountain."

Xiao Zirong thought that the other party landed from the pier just to sneak attack, but Xiao Xuexing knew very well that the carrying capacity of the pier was not large, so there would not be too many people coming from the other party, and if he called directly, it would be like delivering food to Qi.

So the other party will definitely attract the attention of ordinary people, and will find a way to put them in a dilemma.

It's fine that Xiao Xuexing didn't know the news before, but now that he knows it, it's impossible to let the other party go.

Ling Fu was really taken aback when he heard that, they rarely came from the sea when they fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although the building ships in the Han Dynasty were very advanced, most of them were inland rivers at that time, and the development of sea-going ships has always been relatively mediocre.

After the Five Husbands, many things were lost, and the entire Central Plains culture was almost broken, not to mention these technological things.

Naturally, the Northern Wei Dynasty didn't get those, so their ships were always not very good, and they rarely came from the sea, so the Qi State was not prepared.

In the end, I didn't expect that the other party wanted to use this method to break the situation this time. It can only be said that the other party has no other way, so they can only come here.

From this point of view, Xiao Xuexing fought a very successful battle, but at this moment he didn't have any happy thoughts.

After receiving the order, Ling Fu immediately prepared to arrange people, but when he was about to exit, he suddenly saw the bag in his hand and hesitated for a moment.

Xiao Xuexing also saw the bag in his hand, and asked casually, "What is this?"

Ling Fu hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Just... the thing His Highness threw out of the window just now."

Xiao Xuexing's expression turned cold after hearing this: "What are you doing when you pick it up?"

Ling Fu whispered: "This is King Xuancheng..."

Xiao Xuexing interrupted him directly and said, "There will be no King Xuancheng in the future!"

Ling Fu was slightly taken aback, His Royal Highness's tone was not fierce, even calm, but the despondency contained in the calmness was something he had never seen in Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Xuexing closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said, "Just pretend that there is no such person as King Xuancheng, and all the scouts who went out to look for it will also be withdrawn, so there is no need to look for it anymore."

He glanced at the bag for the last time and said, "He doesn't want it anymore, so just throw it away."

Ling Fu didn't say anything after hearing this, but he noticed that Xiao Xuexing was in a bad mood, so he quietly retreated out.

After he left, Xiao Xuexing sat there for a while, and when he recovered, he found that he was in a daze. He sighed slightly, and decided to deal with the things he hadn't finished before.

However, all the documents were placed on another desk. He had just driven everyone away, and he didn't want people to come back and find out that he was in a bad state, so he got up and prepared to go over to get those documents.

However, the moment he stood up, he felt his eyes go dark, he managed to hold his body from falling down, and felt a bloody smell in his throat. When he let go of his hand, his palm was stained with a few traces of blood.
