A dark villain came to Jinting Bulaoxiang

He gently spread out his hands, and his fleshy white fingers were like jade, as if to tell Emperor Yuxuan that he really had no way out.

He tilted his head slightly, with a look of grievance in his eyes. He looked like a child who had suffered a great injustice but didn't know how to appeal. It made people feel pity for him.

Then he sighed softly and lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face, as if he felt helpless about this groundless accusation.

He gently spread his hands and said helplessly: "What can I do? It's not me who asked them to come!"

He tilted his head slightly, with a look of grievance on his face, like a child who had been wronged. Then, he sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face.

A cunning flash suddenly appeared in Emperor Yuxuan's eyes, like a fox seeing its prey. His eyes became sharp and deep, as if he could see through everything. He slowly approached Xiao Sizhe, his steps were light but with a sense of oppression.

He leaned forward slightly, exuding a majestic aura. He leaned close to Xiao Sizhai's ear and whispered, "If you write down the secret of longevity, I will not investigate this matter."

After saying that, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile, that smile was like a cunning fox. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Sizhe, his eyes were full of expectation and threat, as if he was waiting for Xiao Sizhe's response.

Xiao Sizhe showed no fear. He smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his smile. His eyes were firm and resolute, as hard as steel. He said, "Then let's investigate. I also want to know how they disappeared."

He straightened his back, his posture was like a tall pine tree, standing firm. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, showing his inner determination.

Emperor Yuxuan's expression suddenly became very ugly, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. His eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to devour Xiao Sizhe.

His lips were tightly pursed into a firm straight line. He swung his sleeves violently, and the wide sleeves drew a sharp arc in the air, making a loud "snap" sound. He shouted angrily: "Shuangyue, summon Yu Aiqing and the others to Qitian Xiaohan Mansion!"

The sound echoed in the empty mansion like thunder, and it lasted for a long time. The angry sound seemed to break through the sky, making the whole mansion tremble. The birds in the courtyard were frightened by the sudden roar and flew up, flapping their wings in panic in the air.

Xiao Sizhe slowly opened his sleepy eyes, yawned loudly and stretched himself, looking like a lazy cat that just woke up.

His face was full of sleepiness, and there was still a trace of sleepiness in the corners of his eyes. "Come on, come on, tell them to have breakfast before coming back. I don't have that much food in my house!"

He frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. As he spoke, he gently rubbed his temples with his hands. "By the way, did the emperor bring breakfast? We don't have any extra food!"

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, mixed with a bit of helplessness. Emperor Yuxuan, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, sat there, and when he heard Xiao Sizhe's words, he immediately looked angry.

His brows were furrowed, like two tangled caterpillars, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with anger. "Humph! I am the Son of Heaven, how can I travel without breakfast? I just didn't expect you to be in such a predicament here. Where is the military rations I gave you?"

Emperor Yuxuan raised his voice a few notches, with unquestionable majesty. Xiao Sizhe snorted coldly, folded his hands in front of his chest, and his eyes were full of resentment. He raised his chin slightly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Ahaha! Your Majesty, don't you think that your two or three thousand military pay is a lot, so much that you can never use it all? Let me calculate it for you today. Three thousand taels of silver is one thousand copper coins. Three thousand taels is three million copper coins! Three million copper coins are divided among fifty thousand soldiers, sixty copper coins for each person! Even if one copper coin costs three steamed buns, it costs three cents a day, so these three copper coins will be used up in twenty days. It's not even a month! We fought in the war by eating tree bark and grass roots! How dare you say that?"

Xiao Sizhe became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and anger in his heart. Yu Xuandi's face became a little ugly, he opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

"This... I never thought that military rations would be so fragile." Emperor Yuxuan's tone was filled with a hint of guilt. Xiao Sizhe glared at Emperor Yuxuan, with a flame burning in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you know how hard it is for the soldiers on the battlefield? They are willing to sacrifice their lives to defend the country. And you can't even guarantee basic military rations."

Xiao Sizhe's voice was trembling, and his heart was filled with heartache for the soldiers. Emperor Yuxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I know I was wrong. I will find a way to solve the problem of military rations and will not let the soldiers suffer anymore."

Emperor Yuxuan's eyes were full of determination. Xiao Sizhe sighed helplessly and gently touched his stomach, which was rumbling at the moment. Then he slowly got out of bed, his steps were a little heavy, and every step seemed to be filled with endless fatigue.

"These foods were begged by the soldiers I led from door to door. Never mind, my mother and I won't eat them, so we'll give them to you." After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen with heavy steps. His back looked a little lonely, but also firm.

"What? You are still required to do it! Then, what are those guards for?" Emperor Yuxuan was shocked, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked unbelievable. His eyes were full of confusion and surprise, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.

Xiao Sizhe stopped and looked back at Emperor Yuxuan. "Your Majesty, do you think the guards don't need to eat? They, like the soldiers, have been through life and death on the battlefield. Now that rations are in short supply, they can only starve with us." Xiao Sizhe's tone was filled with helplessness.

"It's really hard for me to control this!" Emperor Yuxuan raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of helplessness, and gently waved his hand while speaking. He frowned and continued: "How can we feed so many people? It takes huge capital to make it happen!"

Emperor Yuxuan blinked his eyes, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Since you can't afford to support them, why not just dismiss them?"

When Xiao Sizhe heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He stamped his feet angrily, turned around and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Is this what you would say as an emperor?"

"Then, I'll treat you to a day's meal!"
