Narcissus Self-Saving System

After Xi Nan asked this question, Zhu Guanyu only smiled lightly. "These things will last for a long time, I will tell you slowly, go back to the palace first."

Xi Nan glanced back, Wang Yanran took Xue Zhuang away on horseback, and drifted away, leaving only a vague shadow.

And closer was Xue Qiuyun's body.

Xi Nan's heart sank, and he swore silently - I will avenge you.

The next day, in the Nanhu Palace.

Early in the morning, Eunuch Li invited Xi Nan.

Xi Nan followed him all the way to the hall where Zhu Guanyu lived.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xi Nan saw Chang Ying kneeling.

Seeing him coming, Zhu Guanyu smiled at him. "Please sit down."

Xi Nan glanced at him, and sat down silently.

Zhu Guanyu withdrew his gaze and looked at Chang Ying who was kneeling. "At that time, why didn't you tell me that Xue Zhuang found a substitute?"

When Xi Nan heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

——So, even though Chang Ying was a traitor, she only told Zhu Guanyu the inn where Xue Zhuang's relatives were hiding, and didn't mention the stand-in?

Chang Ying was silent for a moment, and said: "First, the little general didn't use a substitute in the end, but went to Fengshan to have a banquet by himself. Second, telling you about his substitute may really bring him death, so I lied to it."

What Chang Ying meant was that telling Zhu Guanyu the inn where the Xue family was hiding would not directly kill Xue Zhuang.But talking about the stand-in might kill Xue Zhuang.

From this point of view, she is not completely devoid of conscience.

After hearing these words, Zhu Guanyu sighed. "I said a word to you back then. You need to be firm and unambiguous when doing fine work. You have to do things for me completely and do everything according to my requirements. If you are moved by Xue Zhuang's actions, you are willing to follow him instead. For him, then face him completely, and tell him everything. He will surely not blame you, and will let you go. It seems that you have not listened to this. You are vacillating, and you will only be reduced to the point where no one believes you. Now...you have only one way to go."

Chang Ying only kowtowed to Zhu Guanyu. "The emperor makes an order. I have no complaints."

Zhu Guanyu raised his hand and said indifferently: "Eunuch Li, give me wine."

Eunuch Li nodded, and immediately served the poisonous wine.

Chang Ying took the wine, drank it down, and quickly spit out a mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground.

Eunuch Li found guards, carried the body out together, and quickly cleaned up the blood on the hall.

Zhu Guanyu turned his attention to Xi Nan again. "How, seeing this scene, can you relieve your anger?"

When Xi Nan was in modern times, there were intrigues in the shopping malls, and some powerful people ruined their lives, no less than Zhu Guanyu.

Xi Nan was used to this kind of thing, so although he felt sad, he was still calm.

Xi Nan only said: "The show is over, can I go?"

Zhu Guanyu smiled. "You are really interesting."

Xi Nan took a sip of tea, and Zhu Guanyu said again: "I'm not curious how I laid out Changying's pawn? Her biological father is..."

"I'm not very interested." After saying this, Xi Nan stood up directly, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

Zhu Guanyu was not angry either, he just said: "Okay. Seeing that you are still feeling unwell, go back and rest. We will leave in three days, and we will go to Huaichi."

Three days later, Xi Nan got into the carriage and went to Huaichi.

Taking Fu Yao has great sequelae, especially for people like Xi Nan who don't have much martial arts background.

After the effect of the medicine passed, his whole body was severely wounded, his face was pale, and his limbs were weak.So he couldn't even ride a horse, so he could only ride a carriage.

What happened this time really taught Xi Nan a lesson, that is, if he wants to survive in this era, it is not enough to rely on fooling around, he must practice martial arts.

After reaching Huaichi, Xi Nan began to study the sword manual given by Xue Zhuang day and night, practicing both internal strength and external moves.

Zhu Guanyu came to Huaichi to move the capital.As soon as he arrived in Huaichi, Zhu Guanyu went to the various military camps to recruit soldiers without stopping.

Only then did Xi Nan fully understand that in the past, the west of Xia Kingdom was in the hands of the Xue family and his son, while the north and east were controlled by the Wang family's army.

Only the major armies in the south have been firmly in the hands of the Zhu family.

It's just that Jiangnan is the farthest away from the imperial capital, and the speed of support is limited. Zhu's family has been kept in check.

Now that the capital has been moved here, Zhu Guanyu has regained power.

And a month later, the news from Lanque City finally came.

Xi Nan was able to know Xue Zhuang's recent situation.

——After Xue Zhuang returned to Lanque City, he still used the pseudonym "Old Seven".

He changed the name of the country to "Zhou" and established himself as Zhou Chengdi.

From then on, the Xia Kingdom was divided into two, and the Jiangnan area with Huaichi as the new imperial capital was the Xia Kingdom.

From Liaocheng in the west to Lanquecheng in the north, they were included in the Zhou Kingdom.

Time passed slowly.

On Xia Guo's side, through the control of public opinion, all of Zhu Guanyu's actions have been whitewashed.

The first is about the death of the three members of the Wang family.

The uncle of the country, Wang Yu, died on the battlefield, and died for the country.

The queen mother was killed by the old mother in the palace. The mother was a spy sent by the Wei country where Ximanzi lived. She cooperated with the Wei country and killed the queen mother. She also wanted to kill the emperor.

As for the queen, everyone saw that she was having trouble with other men, and she also fled under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Secondly, regarding the matter of the Xue family, the common people thought they knew the "truth".

Xue Wu did die in an accident.

As for Xue Zhuang, because he was murdered by the Western barbarians, he has already lost his martial arts.

Xue Zhuang lost his martial arts and was unable to garrison Liaocheng, but he couldn't let Xi Manzi know about it.

Therefore, the emperor sent him back to the palace under the guise of looking for a male favorite, but in fact he just wanted to protect him and Liaocheng.

It's just that the emperor didn't expect what happened later.

The emperor originally thought that although Xue Zhuang was no longer in Liaocheng, as long as he was alive and the news of his loss of martial arts did not leak out, Xi Manzi would not dare to mess around for the time being.Who would have thought that Ximanzi would accidentally kill him if the news leaked out.

In the end, what was even more unexpected was that there was a bandit leader named Lao Qi in the south of the Yangtze River who went to surrender to the country's uncle Wang Yu, saying that he would serve the country. At the beginning, he did help Xia Guo a lot. Beat back the barbarians.

But the old seventh had evil intentions, and even persuaded the Heiyu army to conspire against him, but Zailan declared himself emperor.

So far, although Zhu Guanyu has lost nearly half of Jiang Tu, he is no longer a puppet emperor, he is completely in power, and he has also washed away his previous behavior.

From then on, the real Xue Zhuang put on a mask, changed his name to Lao Qi, and became the founding emperor of Zhou State.

Xi Nan continued to pretend to be the fake Xue Zhuang. After losing all his martial arts skills, he went to the household department to work as an errand.

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

Spring in March.

The south of the Yangtze River is not as cold as Lanque City in the north. Now the winter plum blossoms are all in bloom and the peach blossoms are already blooming.

Xi Nan is currently working in the household department. He thinks it is probably because Zhu Guanyu knows that he is good at handling money and other matters.

This time for a rest, Xi Nan rested at home.

He practiced the sword routinely for a while, then sat on the stone chair to rest.

After looking up at the peach blossoms in the courtyard for a while, he suddenly sighed.

System: "Hey, Xiao Nannan, are you swollen?"

Xi Nan: "It's nothing. I just... miss Xue Zhuang. I don't know how he is."

——Tsk, this era is inconvenient, and there are no mobile phones.

Xia and Zhou were completely opposed to each other. Except for a small amount of trade, the two countries had little communication.

Xi Nan lived under strict surveillance and had no way of contacting Xue Zhuang.

System: "Are you also thinking... Does he miss you?"

Xi Nan: "I don't know. Things are different and people are different. He has become the emperor. Besides, I let people put it down at the time, and now I'm struggling with it, worrying that he will completely forget me... It seems like a bitch again .”

System: "It's okay. You can secretly think about it in your heart, and you won't commit a crime."

Xi Nan: "Xue Zhuang must have changed a lot in his state of mind. He originally trusted Zhu Guanyu and Chang Ying with all his heart, but they all stepped on his sincerity. He originally cared about the old love, and he refused to turn it back. I was forced to leave Zhu Guanyu. Speaking of which... what exactly does Zhu Guanyu want to do?"

Xi Nan came to Huaichi himself, received a new appointment, and after being given a new house, like the other ministers, he basically only saw Zhu Guanyu when he was in court.The two had little private communication.

System: "I also think it's weird. But, you see, no matter how much you bumped into him before, he endured it and thought it would be useful to keep you. Just show me what you're doing, and I'll help you."

Xi Nan: "Yes. Thank you all, you are such a caring little padded jacket."

System: "(*^▽^*)."

While Xi Nangeng was chatting with the system, a guard came to look for him.

Xi Nan was not particularly happy to see these guards.After all, they were all sent by Zhu Guanyu.

In principle, Xi Nan is only a fourth-rank official, and he is now a civil servant in charge of money, and his family cannot raise soldiers.

But Zhu Guanyu said to the public that Xue Zhuang had killed many Western barbarians in the past, and now everyone knows that he has lost all his martial arts, and if he is not guaranteed, some spies from the other side came to seek revenge, so he had to send guards to protect him.

When the common people heard the words, they felt that Zhu Guanyu was wronged earlier.Zhu Guanyu is really kind-hearted and considerate of his subordinates.

But Xi Nan knew very well that these people were here to monitor and guard him.

The guard said to Xi Nan: "My lord, another matchmaker is here."

Xi Nan had a headache, "How many times have I said this, I don't have that in mind."

——People's livelihood is gradually recovering from the previous war.Huaichi suddenly became the capital of the empire again, and became a gathering place for dignitaries and dignitaries.

The families of a girl-to-be do not want to find a good son-in-law.

Xi Nan is currently using the identity of Xue Zhuang. The past of this male favorite has been clarified. He was a general who saved the country and the people in the past. Although he has lost his martial arts, he is still an official of the court. He has a bright future and looks like this Jun, naturally the threshold of this mansion will be broken by the matchmakers.

The guard said: "Why don't you just meet for a while and talk about it in person? The little ones refuse every day, and their mouths are dry."

Xi Nan wanted to say something else, but the guard brought a few scrolls and put them on the table. "The matchmaker Wang who came today said, don't refuse in a hurry, at least take a look at the portraits of the girls first, what if you meet someone who is eye-catching?"

If so, the guards put the portrait on the table, knowing that Xi Nan didn't like to be disturbed, so they went to guard the door.

Xi Nan picked up his sword and prepared to practice martial arts.

System: "Don't you take a look?"

Xi Nan: "There's nothing to see."

System: "Oh, girls are not as good-looking as men? Xiao Nannan, you are really bent."

Xi Nan: "...nonsense. Let's go, let me see now."

There were five scrolls sent, and the first four unfolded, all of which were beauties with their own characteristics.

The fifth painting unfolded, but it was the painting of plum blossoms, the one that Xi Nan had given to Wang Yanran.

Xi Nan: "The guard said just now that the matchmaker's surname is Wang. Could it be..."

System: "Go and see, go and see. It should be Xue Zhuang who asked her to come to you (*^▽^*), so easy to provoke!"
