The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Your Highness, are you here to laugh at me?

Xu Xianyang looked at Xiao Rui, a little surprised, but his tone was neither angry nor sad, as if he had seen through life and death.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, I'm not that bad. I came here to humiliate a criminal who has already been punished by justice.

Justice? Xu Xianyang muttered, laughed at himself, and said casually, Maybe...

Isn't it? Xiao Rui asked.

Xu Xianyang didn't seem to want to argue, but asked, Why is the Seventh Prince looking for me, a dying person?

Xiao Rui directly explained the purpose of coming: I am very curious about the Night King, I wonder if Mr. Xu can tell me something?

Huh? Xu Xianyang raised his eyebrows, apparently not expecting this, beyond his expectation.

Your Majesty, the words of a person who is about to die are good. This old man advises you, don't provoke anything or anyone related to the Night King, even if you are His Majesty's own son. And I just tell you everything. You, you can't find any trace. Xu Xianyang warned.

I don't want to either!

Xiao Rui wailed in his heart, but his mouth could only be brave: If I insist on knowing, will Mr. Xu be willing to say?

Xu Xianyang stared at Xiao Rui immediately, his eyes were like eagle doves, even if he was imprisoned, it did not affect Xu Xianyang's majesty cultivated in a high position. Xiao Rui looked at him boldly, without showing any timidity.

This kind of scene must be stabilized! In my previous life, I was engaged in official career anyway, and it's not like I haven't seen a big official in the frontier!

Okay, since you took the initiative to provoke me, I will naturally talk endlessly. Xu Xianyang suddenly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: You caused my Xu family to be ruined, and you took the initiative to make trouble, why should I not do it?

Xiao Rui gave him a blank stare, and the truth gave him a whip, letting him know that it was his own fault.

What do you want to know? Xu Xianyang asked.

Where is the Night King? Xiao Rui asked the most critical question directly.

Ahem... Xu Xianyang was choked before he could calm down for a moment, and said angrily, If this old man knows where he is, he can take the blame and do meritorious service. How could he be here?

Xiao Rui replied with an embarrassed smile, and asked again: So, are you really recruiting rebellious ministers with the intention of plotting rebellion?

Xu Xianyang could see the corners of his eyes twitching, then he nodded and said, I have recruited.

I still can't figure out why Master Xu recruited traitors? There's no reason. Xiao Rui hesitated for a moment, but still asked out the doubts in his heart.

Xu Xianyang sighed, talked about him from left to right, and said: If you are poor, you will benefit the world.

Xiao Rui scratched his head, really wanted to spit at him, he was corrupt and perverted the law, and benefited the world.

Then the traitors you recruited, did you recruit yourself, or did you recruit them through other means? Don't you recruit people without investigating the details? Xiao Rui asked.

Xu Xianyang said: You want to find the Night King through the rebels, why don't you just ask those rebels?

I can't even interrogate my father, but I can? What's more, I heard that those rebels committed suicide by biting the poison in their teeth, and they didn't even have a chance to interrogate. Xiao Rui said helplessly.

Xu Xianyang asked back: Then you know, Dongchang asked me more carefully when you asked me. Not only did I interrogate, but everyone in my house did not let go. And I told the truth, Dongchang did not find Ye The king's whereabouts. So if you ask me again, it's still useless.

Xiao Rui smiled: Of course I know that Dongchang will conduct strict interrogation and let you spit out everything you know. I also know that it is unnecessary for me to ask again, but I feel that human beings will eventually put some The matter is hidden in the bottom of my heart. Mr. Xu will say what he knows, but what about your speculation? Not necessarily... I don’t believe you haven’t investigated your followers! They must be confidantes who can kill the Wang family for you. You There must be a little secret hidden, and I didn't tell Dongchang. Right?

Xu Xianyang was silent.

Xiao Rui stepped up and asked: Let's make a deal, how about it? You tell me your little secret, and I agree to one of your requests. Is it fair? Although your son is doomed, you still have your daughter and wife. Exiled for three thousand miles, women, children, old and young are not comfortable.

This sentence touched Xu Xianyang, he hesitated for a while, and finally said: I really don't know the origin of such a traitor. But you are right, these followers are indeed my confidants. During these days staying here, I also thought about the origins of the rebels, indeed, I found a strange commonality.

What do you have in common? Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Xu Xianyang said, You need to guarantee that my family can complete their exile safely and have a place to settle down at the border.

No problem, I can still do this. Xiao Rui agreed.

Xu Xianyang said: Okay, I believe in Your Highness' promise. Then I'll tell you, my rebel followers all have one thing in common, they seem to like to eat grilled chicken.

There were several question marks on Xiao Rui's forehead.

Like to eat grilled chicken? I also like to eat it. Xiao Rui said, he was from Pengcheng in his previous life, not far from Ludong, so naturally he also likes the grilled chicken there.

etc? Lu Dong?

The Night King seems to be the Jiedushi of Ludong!

Xu Xianyang went on to say: Among the five rebels, I have almost seen them buy grilled chicken. Originally, it was a dietary problem, and there was nothing special about it. But after thinking about it these days, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is something wrong. If you I really want to find out the whereabouts of the Night King, so I can investigate from here.

It's not easy, I finally have a clue.

Xiao Rui almost burst into tears.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, Xu Xianyang suddenly stopped him and said, Xiao Rui, you are right, people like to hide little secrets in their hearts, but I am a dying person, so I don't expect to hide little secrets. It's a secret, but to find ways to live. But, do you know why I didn't tell Dongchang about this common point?

Why? Xiao Rui asked subconsciously.

Xu Xianyang smiled inscrutablely: The capital is so big, although I am a second-rank cabinet elder, but after all, I come from a humble background, not the top family or family in this big capital. But why is my retainer a traitor? Aren’t you curious about this? What about the other dignitaries? What about the retainers they keep? Take care of yourself. Hey... So, when a person is about to die, his heart is kind!”

Xiao Rui was shocked, unable to speak for a long time.

Back at the house, Xiao Rui told Jia Xu Xu Xianyang's original words.

Jia Xu smiled and said, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. No matter how deep the water is for the rich and powerful in the capital, they are still under Emperor Xia's control. I think that even if the Night King is not dead, it will be difficult for him to succeed.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, Yes, I was worrying too much.

Then His Highness will continue to look for the Night King? Jia Xu asked curiously.

Xiao Rui nodded: Look for it!

Jia Xu frowned when he heard this, completely unable to guess Xiao Rui's intentions, he has seen countless people, this kind of situation is still very rare.

It is estimated that he wants to break his head, and he will not know that there is such a thing as a system.
