The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 174 Meeting an opponent

King Xuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing, turning his head to glance at Du Hongxue.

Du Hongxue understood immediately and ordered people to go down and make tea.

Xue Qingyin heard the sound and looked at the empty desk in front of her...

Can't even count on a cup of hot water.

While making tea here, Fang Chengzhong ordered his subordinates: "Clear out a few rooms, make the bed for the biggest one, and put down the table..."

I don't plan to count on Qian Zixu at this time, I will allocate it to myself first.

Although Xue Qingyin also had a bit of banditry, she still asked: "Isn't it bad to be so anti-customer?"

King Xuan said: "There is nothing wrong with it."

He paused for a moment, then called a guard: "Go to the market to buy some snacks."

There was nothing to eat or drink at the moment, and even the host's family had disappeared.

Xue Qingyin asked Nong Xia to get some cards to play with.

"Wait...it's better not to take the cards." Xue Qingyin changed her mind as soon as she finished speaking, thinking that she should not lose her mind by playing with things.

She turned to look at King Xuan: "Your Highness, can you take up the map that Zhao Guogong gave you last time and take a look at it?"

King Xuan moved his lips: "You want to surround him?"

Xue Qingyin: "That's not the case."

King Xuan ordered people to get the map.

There is more than one page unfolded.

Last time Zhao Guogong said it was a map of Yizhou, but in fact it also included some maps of other states and counties, which were all places where Zhao Guogong had fought.

The meaning does not need to be stated clearly.

"Zhao Guogong is really kind and kind." Xue Qingyin sighed softly.

Then he clicked on the map with his finger: "We are here now, right?"

"Um."

"Is this Jialing Road?"

"good."

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips: "It would be nice if there was a more detailed map."

"Isn't this detailed enough?"

"not enough."

For Xue Qingyin, who had seen modern maps, the precision of this thing was too far behind.

Seeing Xue Qingyin staring at Xingzhou for a long time, King Xuan said: "I ordered people to get the map of Xingzhou for you."

"Huh? There are also those in Xingzhou?" Xue Qingyin said in surprise.

"This place was once a key point in the attack on Shu. The emperor personally led his troops to fight here. I followed him, so naturally I have a map in my hand."

After King Xuan said this, Fang Chengzhong found a map and gave it to Xue Qingyin not long after.

This time it looks much more detailed.

"There are many mountains and forests in Xingzhou." Xue Qingyin sighed.

"Well, there are many hunters in Xingzhou, and there are also many people collecting medicines." King Xuan said lightly.

But it can be seen that he knows this place very well.

He paused and asked, "Yinyin is very interested in this place?"

Xue Qingyin nodded: "Yes, yes, I was just thinking that Qianzixu's industries are spread all over the place. And where is Xingzhou? The streets are shabby, the people's livelihood is quite poor, and there are many mountains and forests, and traffic jams on one side , traveling is difficult, and in places where there are many mountain people, the folk customs must be more fierce...

"Then why does he insist on staying here? Instead of going to the Jiangnan water town? With his wealth, wouldn't he be able to live a more comfortable life?"

"His wife died here." King Xuan said.

"...Huh?" Xue Qingyin was stunned for a moment.

"Gian Zixu was originally a refugee. He heard that there was a Lingyan Temple in Xingzhou, so he came to Xingzhou and became a monk. Later, he encountered war and it was not easy to mix in the monk temple. He returned to secular life. Then he met a Qiang woman. The two became husband and wife," King Xuan said calmly.

"Hey, hey, your highness has an excellent memory. He once told the story many years ago, and his highness has never forgotten it." Qian Zixu came over with a plate.

He put the plate in his hand on the table and continued: "My wife died here."

He pointed to his feet: "On this piece of land, I built a house here. There is no difference between the living and the dead."

Xue Qingyin was a little shocked.

She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed... Was she too rational? I don’t even understand the romantic true feelings of this world at all.

It is also speculated that there is another reason.

"No wonder it looks like a tomb bag." Xue Qingyin sighed.

Qian Zixu choked. This was probably the first time someone said that his house was built like a tomb.

"There's still some food, I'll go get it." Qian Zixu smiled again, turned and left.

The soldiers on the side quickly followed to help.

After a while, they came back again.

There were two plates, three bowls, and a large vat.

As soon as they were placed on the table, Qian Zixu eagerly greeted them to eat.

Fang Chengzhong's mouth twitched: "You don't care about our food and drink at all."

Qian Zixu rubbed his hands and smiled: "As I said from the beginning, I want to entertain His Highness Prince Xuan. Now there is another Princess Xuan. How can I entertain other people?"

Fang Chengzhong: "..."

There was nothing to eat anyway, so Qian Zixu didn't do anything to divide the food into separate tables, and piled everything on the same table.

There is a dish of honey duck on the left, a dish of wild vegetables on the right, and the vat contains porridge.

"Please, Your Highness please, Princess please." Qian Zixu said politely.

This is nothing to ask for.

Xue Qingyin thought.

No one made any move, Qian Zixu stood there and did not dare to move.

I had no choice but to say it again: "Your Highness please, Princess please."

It's like I can't hold it any longer and am waiting to eat.

Xue Qingyin's mouth twitched and she picked up her chopsticks.

Qian Zixu looked happy, then he picked up the plate of wild vegetables and started eating the porridge.

While eating, I reluctantly looked at the honey duck.

He sighed and groaned, not knowing whether he was greedy or reluctant to give them the food. Or maybe both.

Xue Qingyin: "..."

No wonder King Xuan said she wouldn't want to come.

At this time, Gan Zixu had just finished his meal and put down his bowl.

There was a clanging sound of swords.

King Xuan suddenly drew his sword.

The blade pointed at Gan Zixu's neck.

It was so sharp that it cut off two flying hairs.

Everyone was shocked.

Gan Zixu also sat on the ground with a "thump".

At that moment, Xue Qingyin's breathing became disordered.

... When King Xuan got angry, it was really scary.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't you like duck?" Gan Zixu trembled.

King Xuan lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Then the 800,000 taels..."

He didn't even mention the Queen Mother.

Gan Zixu's eyes widened immediately, and he just banged his neck against the sword: "Your Highness, just kill me! Woohoo, kill me!"

Xue Qingyin: "…………"

She knew.

King Xuan was demonstrating to her what would happen if the knife was placed on her neck.

Obviously.

Useless.

King Xuan drew back his sword.

A bloody mark was left on Gan Zixu's neck.

"Yinyin, do you still want to try to chop off his hands and feet before asking?" King Xuan said in a flat tone.

Xue Qingyin licked her lips and slowly recovered from the shock just now.

That, that's not necessary.

You don't have to indulge me too much.

What if I say that I will turn all the people I hate into human pigs, you won't really do it, right?

The capital.

Emperor Liang De was concerned about where King Xuan and his party had gone.

The eunuch said, "It should be Xingzhou."

"Xingzhou..." Emperor Liang De paused, "I heard that the Queen Mother handed something to Princess Xuan?"

"Yes."

"Gan Zixu, hum." Emperor Liang De was a little unhappy at first, but turned around and smiled again, "With Princess Xuan's temper, she must have met an antagonist this time."
