Ying Chenkun didn't expect that this move would backfire.
The fact is that no matter what he does, no matter what measures he takes, it seems that he can't hurt the other party in the slightest.
This made him more and more unbearable, and his temper became more irritable.In private, they often fell and beat, and many court ladies and eunuchs suffered.
"Your Majesty, who is making you angry again?" The virtuous king approached politely. The emperor's red eyes looked almost mad and even harmful, but he still had a handsome appearance.
"Who else! You gave me a good idea!" Ying Chenkun said in a bad tone: "You asked me to suppress Zhuo's family with excuses and say something to show the majesty of the emperor. Now it's all right, look, Manchu Both civil and military people think that I am cruel and heartless, and I am ruthless!"
Faced with the emperor's questioning, the Xian Wang remained calm, and explained: "It is disrespectful for Mr. Zhuo to break into the imperial study together with the regent. Brother, you are the emperor and the ninety-five supreme beings. Don't say that you want Zhuo Yunxiao. Even if you ordered him to be executed, the Zhuo family shouldn’t complain. What kind of loyalty? The actions of the Zhuo family that day have exposed their disloyalty! If your majesty does not punish them, other ministers will follow suit and punish them. Where is the majesty of His Majesty the Time?"
"But just because of the idea you gave me, all civil and military officials in the court now blame me for being cruel, and instead stand on the side of Zhuo Yunxiao and the regent. Tell me how this will end!"
"Hey, it's not a big deal." The virtuous king smiled and said, "The reason why those ministers are in danger is because they are afraid that one day the fire will burn on them as well. But who is your majesty? Your majesty, you are wise and mighty, if you are really loyal How can His Majesty make things difficult for those who protect the lord? So, Your Majesty, this is not a bad thing, but it is a good opportunity for you to win people's hearts now!"
"...how do you say it?" Ying Chenkun still didn't understand what he said.
Ying Chenhao said: "Taking advantage of this time when everyone is in danger, Your Majesty, as long as you show your reasonable and benevolent side, you will not blame anyone who is loyal and meritorious for no reason. Ministers understand His Majesty's character, and naturally Will support you. Even..."
"even?"
"Maybe even His Majesty can unseat the Regent."
"This... I can really take the emperor...?"
"The regent has always been ignorant of the world, but this time he is ambiguous with Mr. Zhuo, what will the other ministers think?" Ying Chenhao analyzed to the emperor with a confident look: "Besides, the prince has always been stern and selfless, and he is arbitrary. It's been too long, and I offended many important officials in the court. At this time, His Majesty has shown a heart of benevolence, righteousness and love, so it is just right to subdue these old officials..."
"Okay!" Ying Chenkun was immediately excited after hearing his analysis, and couldn't wait to clap his hands and applaud.
Suppressing Zhuo Yunxiao can certainly relieve people's anger, but how can it compare with La Yingyuan's resignation?
As long as Ying Yuan falls, the Zhuo family will naturally have nothing to worry about, and when that time comes, Zhuo Yunxiao... can only let him deal with it.

What is the experience of being revenged by the emperor?
What is it like to be revenged by a narrow-minded emperor?
Winter went to spring, and the severe cold dissipated in a blink of an eye, but Xu Jiu's situation did not improve.
The emperor is not as blatantly suppressing his family as he was at the beginning. He even promoted him from the sixth rank to the fourth rank because of his efforts in the preliminary preparations for receiving the envoys from southern Xinjiang. The position of the morning court has also moved forward a lot.
At the beginning, the ministers thought that the emperor was capricious and misbehaving, but this kind of thing was like boiling a frog in warm water. After a long time, everyone became numb. Whether Xu Jiu was promoted or demoted was no longer a concern of the ministers. matters.
Anyway, the emperor would only go crazy with Zhuo's family, and the rest of the time he behaved quite normally. After a long time, the feeling of cold lips and teeth before did not exist anymore.
Not to mention the others, even Xu Jiu didn't take her own situation to heart.
Compared with his own situation, he cared more about the situation in Yingyuan.
But Yingyuan had already made a plan, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, so he didn't have to worry about it.
On the whole, Xu Jiu's little life is still very nourishing.
Winter has passed, and just after May, the capital ushered in another spring rain.
At the same time, the counties in the south rushed to report, saying that the counties in the south had been raining for several days, and the floods were frequent. In addition, the rivers were blocked and could not be dredged, causing disasters in many places.
Not only the fields cannot be cultivated, but the houses and lives of people in serious places have been damaged to varying degrees.
In the Daqing Dynasty, natural disasters have continued in recent years, whether it is drought, floods, or locust plagues, causing the common people to live in desperation.
The land just planted this year has been washed away. Even if the people did not die in the floods, a lot of people would starve to death in winter.
All of a sudden, a large number of refugees flocked to the capital, and their mourning could be spread across thousands of miles, and their complaints were full of voices.
Therefore, as soon as the news reached the capital, Ying Chenkun called all civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.
"My Majesty, I believe that the reason why Daqing has suffered from drought and flood in recent years is because the river channel is blocked and urgently needs to be repaired. The river channel is open, and the heavy rain can store water, so there will be no floods. People in drought weather You can also irrigate the farmland yourself with water from the reservoir," a minister replied.
"But dredging the river is not so easy to do." Another minister said: "I think the most urgent thing is to appease the refugees and get over the current difficulties first."
"But this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. We will face the same problem next year! Why don't we allocate funds from the imperial court now and send a competent minister..."
"My lord said it lightly. Dredging the river is a difficult task that all dynasties have faced. It has not been solved in several dynasties. How can it be done so easily!"
"Okay, stop arguing!" Ying Chenkun waved his hands impatiently, then looked in Ying Chenhao's direction: "What does King Xian think about this?"
But in just a few months, the superficial respect the emperor had for the regent disappeared. Ying Yuan was standing at the front of the line, but he passed him and asked Ying Chenhao directly.
"This..." Ying Chenhao took a slightly embarrassed look at Ying Yuan, it wasn't obvious, but it showed his humility and respect, as if the emperor asked him to say what he had to say, and said: "... ...Returning to Your Majesty, I also feel that it is important to appease the victims, but if the court does not manage the river, such disasters will happen frequently. It is better to send people to control the river while appeasing the victims, it is a good strategy to do both."
What he said was very skillful, not only summed up and unified the opinions of the previous two ministers, but also answered the emperor's question, and neither side should be offended.
Although it is difficult to operate.
Ying Chenkun asked: "It is not easy to dredge the river, who can take on this important task?"
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. It is impossible for anyone to stand up and take responsibility for such a sensitive matter.
The imperial study room became silent, and at this moment, a second-rank official said: "Qizou Emperor, our country is not very powerful now, and repairing the river is laborious and costly. I think we should send a talented , a minister who knows how to dredge and make good use of money. In addition, this person must have a certain prestige in the government and the public and among the people to ensure that the repairs are safe."
"Master Li, what you are talking about is simply nonsense." As soon as the minister's voice fell, another courtier remonstrated: "The kind of talent and status you mentioned... I don't think anyone except the regent can take on this important task." Already!"
"..."
The minister's words were like pouring hot oil on water, and the imperial study room exploded in an instant.
Xu Jiu, who was standing in the back row and focused on his toes, raised his head instantly.
He saw clearly that the one who said this was the cabinet minister Zuo Yijian, one of the confidantes that the emperor had bought over the past few months.
Mr. Zuo once committed a crime against Ying Yuan because he allowed his son to do evil, and his son was dealt with by the just and stern Prince Regent, so he has always held a grudge.
He deliberately said it in such a joking tone, but in fact he wanted to bring the topic to Ying Yuan.
As soon as his words came out, someone quickly retorted: "The regent has a heavy responsibility, how can he leave Beijing rashly? Moreover, river management is not something that can be done in a day or two..."
"But now is a special period." Before the man in front had finished speaking, the emperor interrupted, and Ying Chenkun cast his eyes on Ying Yuan: "I think what Master Zuo said is not unreasonable, such an imminent period, Looking at the government and the public, only the emperor's uncle can take on this important task. What do you think, the emperor's uncle?"
He was so blatant that he didn't even bother to cover it up, it showed how much he wanted to send Ying Yuan out of Beijing.
In fact, thinking about it, the national treasury has long been emptied by natural disasters in successive years in the Qing Dynasty.Not only is there not enough money, but the southern counties have been complaining for a long time now. At this time, the past is simply a bird in the early days. The first thing to bear is the anger and non-cooperation of the people. Things will only be more difficult than imagined.
In addition, the imperial court has to make some achievements in allocating funds to repair the river, right?If you really took this job, you should be able to make achievements. If you can't do it, you will be incompetent, and the prestige of the regent will be greatly reduced.
Not to mention, who knows how the little emperor will win over other ministers during Ying's stay away from Beijing, and trip Ying Yuan behind his back.
In short, if Ying Yuan really takes on this job, then it's over!
After the emperor finished speaking, no one spoke out, and no one dared to speak out.
Everyone is waiting for the Lord Regent's reply.
After a few breaths of silence, Ying Yuan finally spoke: "Chen..."
"Your Majesty! I am willing to go!"
Before the regent could speak, a clear voice sounded in vain, drowning out all other voices.
Ying Chenkun frowned fiercely, and then all the officials turned their heads, looking in the direction of Xu Jiu.
Xu Jiu walked out from the back of the queue, and saluted the little emperor respectfully: "His Majesty, I am willing to go to the southern counties to manage and repair the river."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others began to discuss again.
Someone advised him in a low voice: "Lord Zhuo, no."
Some people laughed at him for being overconfident, and said contemptuously: "Lord Xiao Zhuo, you are good at reciting poems, but have you done the dredging of the river?"
Someone frightened him: "Isn't it a trifle to repair the river, if the adults..."
"If it fails, I will come to see you." Xu Jiu said.
Ying Yuan looked back at him, eyes full of anxiety and disapproval.The emperor raised his eyebrows even more angrily: "Even if I want to send you, you don't care about yourself? Can you take on this important task? No joke in the court!"
Xu Jiu: "I'm currently working in the Ministry of Industry, sorting out books on repairing waterways all day long. I think I have the ability to complete this task, and I am also qualified."
"Nonsense, really nonsense!" Ying Chenkun almost threw the teacup in his hand out.
Xu Jiu was very calm in the face of Thunder's anger. He looked directly into Ying Chenkun's eyes and said to him: "It is the blessing of the people and the emperor that the regent stays in the capital to share the emperor's worries. If your majesty is not at ease, , you can only give the minister a month."
"One month!" Everyone gasped, it would take half a month from the capital to Nanjun, a total of one month, Master Xiao Zhuo is looking for a dead end!
Xu Jiu said: "Only one month. If the minister can make achievements in this month and regain the hearts of the people, the emperor can keep the minister to continue to supervise the matter. If not, His Majesty can recall the minister and let His Majesty handle it alone."
"Master Zhuo is issuing a military order with me." Ying Chenkun said with a grim expression.
"Yes." Xu Jiu replied generously.
"Then what do you think, uncle?" Ying Chenkun threw this question to the regent.
He knew that Yi Yingyuan's character would not agree with someone taking risks for him.
Especially this person is Zhuo Yunxiao, that Zhuo Yunxiao who is very special to them...
"Report to the emperor, I have no objection." Ying Yuan cupped his hands and said.
"What did you say?" Ying Chenkun grabbed the handle of the dragon chair so hard that he almost didn't jump up.
Ying Yuan said: "Since Mr. Zhuo has issued a military order, I feel that he should be given this chance. One month is not too long, and the court will not suffer too much loss."
After stating his point of view in terms of facts, he fell silent.
After all that was said, no one knew what was on his mind.
On the contrary, Ying Chenkun had a deflated expression on his face - he was the one who asked Ying Yuan himself before, and Ying Yuan was the regent.
Originally, he wanted to use an excuse to transfer Ying Yuan away. No matter what the situation in the capital becomes, it will not prevent him from giving him a basin of dirty water. Ying Yuan will never be able to wash away.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yunxiao jumped out at this time...
"Okay, since Uncle Huang also said so, then Lord Zhuo, I will give you a chance. If the matter comes to fruition, that's good, if it doesn't work out...you have to let me do what I want. You said it yourself."
"Thank you, Lord Long En." Xu Jiu didn't say a word, and took the order directly.
...Although he successfully accepted the task and saved Ying Yuan, it didn't stop him from feeling bitter at all.
After all, he doesn't know how to open a river and build a dam at all!
Xu Jiu worked on the construction site and had contact with some architects before, but the construction of buildings and the construction of dams should not be a system. He racked his brains and couldn't think of any information on how to deal with floods. .
Besides, the modern waterways in his world have long been well-planned, and they haven't leaked the embankment for many years!
No wonder he is not suffering!
But this is his last task. If possible, he still wants to get along with Hades safely and lovingly until the day of his 40th birthday.
Many previous worlds were like this. Xu Jiu didn't want to be the last world, but left some regrets.
So it is impossible to come back to see Ying Chenkun, he has to find a way to solve the flood...
This time I really understand what the meaning of the loyalty system is!
Xu Jiu cursed in his heart.
Then I felt a piercing gaze.
——Ying Yuan's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on him. It was obviously an ordinary and serious face, the same as usual, but Xu Jiu just felt that the other party was hating him so much that his teeth were itching.
……
The military order had already been issued, and the time was too short to allow anyone to make detailed preparations. After coming out of the palace, Xu Jiujiu went home non-stop to pack up the things.
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, the news spread that he was going to deal with the flood. Mrs. Zhuo, that is, his mother, cried and didn't want him to go. out.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Ying Yuan and the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion parked at the gate.
The regent had already changed into plain clothes and stood tall, looking quite like that.
Xu Jiu knew that he was waiting for him.
He got into the carriage all at once, and the prince followed up and said, "Actually, you don't have to do this."
The degree of authenticity is only 50.00%, and Ying Yuan has never paid attention to people or things in this world from the beginning to the end.
Although...the other party's act of standing up for him without hesitation will make his heart throb inexplicably...
The feeling that someone is thinking of him wholeheartedly can make him feel warm and happy.
So after weighing it carefully, even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he still fully supported Xu Jiu's decision just now in the imperial study.
"So how to repair the river?" Xu Jiu didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly asked the regent what he should do.
After so many worlds passed, he no longer needed to explain anything to the other party.
Instead of talking too much at this moment, it's better to use the other party's common sense and knowledge to get things done.
Ying Yuan said: "It's useless to have common sense. Even if you know the optimal solution, it cannot be realized by the technology of this world."
Xu Jiu: "..."
There really is a male protagonist who has half of his realism and can't do anything? !
What shocked Xu Jiu even more was that his first reaction after hearing this answer was that it was a good thing he got the job!Otherwise, the male lead will stop cooking!
Seeing that he was too shocked to recover, Ying Yuan stopped teasing him and said, "But this king has other methods. You don't have to worry."
"What way?"
"You go to appease the people first, and other things... just let nature take its course."
Xu Jiu: "???"
No, is this something that can go with the flow?
But later when he asked what, Ying Yuan didn't say anything, and only told him that the heavenly secret should not be leaked.
They didn't have time to talk about it afterward.
They have more important things to communicate.
Thinking that he was about to leave soon, and this time would last at least a month—if he did not perform well for a month, he would burp, and if he performed well, he would have to continue to part for an unknown amount of time, Xu Jiu suddenly felt a lot of reluctance .
So he let Ying Yuan's actions go.
Whatever the other party wants to do, he will follow.
This kind of exchange until he was sent out of the city, and then from the gate of the city to Shili Pavilion, from dawn to sunset...
"Send us off to Nanjun." Xu Jiu said hoarsely.
Ying Yuan finally stopped, rearranged his clothes, and checked his luggage again. After confirming that there was nothing left behind, he got off the carriage and left the hidden guards he trusted most by Xu Jiu's side. He rode back to Beijing alone.
Xu Jiu simply ate some dry food and became sleepy. She fell asleep and woke up only to realize that Ying Yuan was gone...
A sense of emptiness that has never been felt before arises in vain, and with the dark night outside, the loneliness appears even stronger.
"Hey." Xu Jiu laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking that you are not used to it, how will you live in the future?
After wiping his face, he decided not to think about Ying Yuan anymore, the most urgent thing is to see what he can do.
He asked 888 to send him all the information on water control in ancient times, and he will study it carefully.
Unexpectedly, 888 said to him at this time: [Ying Yuan said he missed you, and asked if you missed him. 】
Xu Jiu: "..."
Oh yes, during this period of time, he and Ying Yuan were almost inseparable, and they forgot that they could use the system to talk to each other.
If that's the case... it's like sound transmission from thousands of miles away!It would be convenient enough if it was placed in Hyundai and even the long-distance telephone charges would be saved.
It's just... don't you feel ashamed if you use two systems to spread such words to me? !
888, this little mentally handicapped boy is obviously very rotten, and he still leads children... Doesn't your conscience hurt? !
[Oh, there is an encrypted audio here, which can only be answered by the host alone, and even the system will be blocked. Do you want to listen to it now? 】
"... Let go." Xu Jiu said.
Then 888 played an audio for him.
"Fuck..."
Ying Yuan's hoarse but meaningless moans came out of his head in vain, Xu Jiu was taken aback, and resisted the urge to continue cursing. After listening, Xu Jiu had already turned red.
The fact is that no matter what he does, no matter what measures he takes, it seems that he can't hurt the other party in the slightest.
This made him more and more unbearable, and his temper became more irritable.In private, they often fell and beat, and many court ladies and eunuchs suffered.
"Your Majesty, who is making you angry again?" The virtuous king approached politely. The emperor's red eyes looked almost mad and even harmful, but he still had a handsome appearance.
"Who else! You gave me a good idea!" Ying Chenkun said in a bad tone: "You asked me to suppress Zhuo's family with excuses and say something to show the majesty of the emperor. Now it's all right, look, Manchu Both civil and military people think that I am cruel and heartless, and I am ruthless!"
Faced with the emperor's questioning, the Xian Wang remained calm, and explained: "It is disrespectful for Mr. Zhuo to break into the imperial study together with the regent. Brother, you are the emperor and the ninety-five supreme beings. Don't say that you want Zhuo Yunxiao. Even if you ordered him to be executed, the Zhuo family shouldn’t complain. What kind of loyalty? The actions of the Zhuo family that day have exposed their disloyalty! If your majesty does not punish them, other ministers will follow suit and punish them. Where is the majesty of His Majesty the Time?"
"But just because of the idea you gave me, all civil and military officials in the court now blame me for being cruel, and instead stand on the side of Zhuo Yunxiao and the regent. Tell me how this will end!"
"Hey, it's not a big deal." The virtuous king smiled and said, "The reason why those ministers are in danger is because they are afraid that one day the fire will burn on them as well. But who is your majesty? Your majesty, you are wise and mighty, if you are really loyal How can His Majesty make things difficult for those who protect the lord? So, Your Majesty, this is not a bad thing, but it is a good opportunity for you to win people's hearts now!"
"...how do you say it?" Ying Chenkun still didn't understand what he said.
Ying Chenhao said: "Taking advantage of this time when everyone is in danger, Your Majesty, as long as you show your reasonable and benevolent side, you will not blame anyone who is loyal and meritorious for no reason. Ministers understand His Majesty's character, and naturally Will support you. Even..."
"even?"
"Maybe even His Majesty can unseat the Regent."
"This... I can really take the emperor...?"
"The regent has always been ignorant of the world, but this time he is ambiguous with Mr. Zhuo, what will the other ministers think?" Ying Chenhao analyzed to the emperor with a confident look: "Besides, the prince has always been stern and selfless, and he is arbitrary. It's been too long, and I offended many important officials in the court. At this time, His Majesty has shown a heart of benevolence, righteousness and love, so it is just right to subdue these old officials..."
"Okay!" Ying Chenkun was immediately excited after hearing his analysis, and couldn't wait to clap his hands and applaud.
Suppressing Zhuo Yunxiao can certainly relieve people's anger, but how can it compare with La Yingyuan's resignation?
As long as Ying Yuan falls, the Zhuo family will naturally have nothing to worry about, and when that time comes, Zhuo Yunxiao... can only let him deal with it.

Xu Jiu said: "Only one month. If the minister can make achievements in this month and regain the hearts of the people, the emperor can keep the minister to continue to supervise the matter. If not, His Majesty can recall the minister and let His Majesty handle it alone."
"Master Zhuo is issuing a military order with me." Ying Chenkun said with a grim expression.
"Yes." Xu Jiu replied generously.
"Then what do you think, uncle?" Ying Chenkun threw this question to the regent.
He knew that Yi Yingyuan's character would not agree with someone taking risks for him.
Especially this person is Zhuo Yunxiao, that Zhuo Yunxiao who is very special to them...
"Report to the emperor, I have no objection." Ying Yuan cupped his hands and said.
"What did you say?" Ying Chenkun grabbed the handle of the dragon chair so hard that he almost didn't jump up.
Ying Yuan said: "Since Mr. Zhuo has issued a military order, I feel that he should be given this chance. One month is not too long, and the court will not suffer too much loss."
After stating his point of view in terms of facts, he fell silent.
After all that was said, no one knew what was on his mind.
On the contrary, Ying Chenkun had a deflated expression on his face - he was the one who asked Ying Yuan himself before, and Ying Yuan was the regent.
Originally, he wanted to use an excuse to transfer Ying Yuan away. No matter what the situation in the capital becomes, it will not prevent him from giving him a basin of dirty water. Ying Yuan will never be able to wash away.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yunxiao jumped out at this time...
"Okay, since Uncle Huang also said so, then Lord Zhuo, I will give you a chance. If the matter comes to fruition, that's good, if it doesn't work out...you have to let me do what I want. You said it yourself."
"Thank you, Lord Long En." Xu Jiu didn't say a word, and took the order directly.
...Although he successfully accepted the task and saved Ying Yuan, it didn't stop him from feeling bitter at all.
After all, he doesn't know how to open a river and build a dam at all!
Xu Jiu worked on the construction site and had contact with some architects before, but the construction of buildings and the construction of dams should not be a system. He racked his brains and couldn't think of any information on how to deal with floods. .
Besides, the modern waterways in his world have long been well-planned, and they haven't leaked the embankment for many years!
No wonder he is not suffering!
But this is his last task. If possible, he still wants to get along with Hades safely and lovingly until the day of his 40th birthday.
Many previous worlds were like this. Xu Jiu didn't want to be the last world, but left some regrets.
So it is impossible to come back to see Ying Chenkun, he has to find a way to solve the flood...
This time I really understand what the meaning of the loyalty system is!
Xu Jiu cursed in his heart.
Then I felt a piercing gaze.
——Ying Yuan's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on him. It was obviously an ordinary and serious face, the same as usual, but Xu Jiu just felt that the other party was hating him so much that his teeth were itching.
……
The military order had already been issued, and the time was too short to allow anyone to make detailed preparations. After coming out of the palace, Xu Jiujiu went home non-stop to pack up the things.
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, the news spread that he was going to deal with the flood. Mrs. Zhuo, that is, his mother, cried and didn't want him to go. out.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Ying Yuan and the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion parked at the gate.
The regent had already changed into plain clothes and stood tall, looking quite like that.
Xu Jiu knew that he was waiting for him.
He got into the carriage all at once, and the prince followed up and said, "Actually, you don't have to do this."
The degree of authenticity is only 50.00%, and Ying Yuan has never paid attention to people or things in this world from the beginning to the end.
Although...the other party's act of standing up for him without hesitation will make his heart throb inexplicably...
The feeling that someone is thinking of him wholeheartedly can make him feel warm and happy.
So after weighing it carefully, even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he still fully supported Xu Jiu's decision just now in the imperial study.
"So how to repair the river?" Xu Jiu didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly asked the regent what he should do.
After so many worlds passed, he no longer needed to explain anything to the other party.
Instead of talking too much at this moment, it's better to use the other party's common sense and knowledge to get things done.
Ying Yuan said: "It's useless to have common sense. Even if you know the optimal solution, it cannot be realized by the technology of this world."
Xu Jiu: "..."
There really is a male protagonist who has half of his realism and can't do anything? !
What shocked Xu Jiu even more was that his first reaction after hearing this answer was that it was a good thing he got the job!Otherwise, the male lead will stop cooking!
Seeing that he was too shocked to recover, Ying Yuan stopped teasing him and said, "But this king has other methods. You don't have to worry."
"What way?"
"You go to appease the people first, and other things... just let nature take its course."
Xu Jiu: "???"
No, is this something that can go with the flow?
But later when he asked what, Ying Yuan didn't say anything, and only told him that the heavenly secret should not be leaked.
They didn't have time to talk about it afterward.
They have more important things to communicate.
Thinking that he was about to leave soon, and this time would last at least a month—if he did not perform well for a month, he would burp, and if he performed well, he would have to continue to part for an unknown amount of time, Xu Jiu suddenly felt a lot of reluctance .
So he let Ying Yuan's actions go.
Whatever the other party wants to do, he will follow.
This kind of exchange until he was sent out of the city, and then from the gate of the city to Shili Pavilion, from dawn to sunset...
"Send us off to Nanjun." Xu Jiu said hoarsely.
Ying Yuan finally stopped, rearranged his clothes, and checked his luggage again. After confirming that there was nothing left behind, he got off the carriage and left the hidden guards he trusted most by Xu Jiu's side. He rode back to Beijing alone.
Xu Jiu simply ate some dry food and became sleepy. She fell asleep and woke up only to realize that Ying Yuan was gone...
A sense of emptiness that has never been felt before arises in vain, and with the dark night outside, the loneliness appears even stronger.
"Hey." Xu Jiu laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking that you are not used to it, how will you live in the future?
After wiping his face, he decided not to think about Ying Yuan anymore, the most urgent thing is to see what he can do.
He asked 888 to send him all the information on water control in ancient times, and he will study it carefully.
Unexpectedly, 888 said to him at this time: [Ying Yuan said he missed you, and asked if you missed him. 】
Xu Jiu: "..."
Oh yes, during this period of time, he and Ying Yuan were almost inseparable, and they forgot that they could use the system to talk to each other.
If that's the case... it's like sound transmission from thousands of miles away!It would be convenient enough if it was placed in Hyundai and even the long-distance telephone charges would be saved.
It's just... don't you feel ashamed if you use two systems to spread such words to me? !
888, this little mentally handicapped boy is obviously very rotten, and he still leads children... Doesn't your conscience hurt? !
[Oh, there is an encrypted audio here, which can only be answered by the host alone, and even the system will be blocked. Do you want to listen to it now? 】
"... Let go." Xu Jiu said.
Then 888 played an audio for him.
"Fuck..."
Ying Yuan's hoarse but meaningless moans came out of his head in vain, Xu Jiu was taken aback, and resisted the urge to continue cursing. After listening, Xu Jiu had already turned red.
