Mo Jiu Ye

Xiao Kingdom, adjacent to Cang Kingdom and Lian Kingdom, is located in the northern part of the Central Plains. Its national strength is strong and famous among the countries for its iron hoof. It is the most powerful country among the seven great powers.The remaining six countries secretly formed an alliance with their affiliations to prevent Xiao Guo from swallowing.

The Xiao Kingdom has always been arrogant and has never invited foreign envoys to participate in any festivals of the country, the only exception is when Emperor Xiao ascended the throne.But obviously, Xiao Huang Xiao Yeqi came to the throne ten years ago. Although there is a regent who controls the government, it is not likely that the emperor will die within ten years and a new emperor will be established.

In the carriage, Cang Rui played with the invitation card in his hand, his star pupils were flickering.

Speaking of Xiao Yeqi, when he ascended the throne, the representatives of Cang Kingdom were him and Cang Yan.It's just that Cang Yan's temperament is a shady master at all, before arriving in Xiao Country, he has already run away without a trace, so angry that Cang Rui gritted his teeth and flew a pigeon to pass the letter to his imperial brother.Brother Huang is also unambiguous, after Cang Yan wandered around to watch the ceremony and missed it on purpose, Prince Yan went back to Cang Kingdom with his own money, but the only one who faced him was the one who almost reached the top. The books on the roof were all the Four Books and Five Classics that gave him a headache just looking at them, and the emperor's punishment was to copy the books a hundred times.

Cang Yan couldn't resist his elder brother, when he grasped the writing brush with five fingers, he kept gnashing his teeth and cursing Cang Rui in his heart, which made Cang Rui keep sneezing all the way back, making him think he had typhoid fever.

After being annoyed for a while, Cang Rui figured it out by himself.After all, if Prince Yan, who does not look like a royal family member, enters the Xiao Kingdom, it would be a disgrace to the Cang Kingdom.Considering that there is no need to lose face abroad, Cang Rui's team traveled a lot faster and arrived in Xiao Country.

Ten years ago, Cang Rui himself was only 19 years old, and he hadn't cultivated to the level of the insidious and cunning fox prince.Although he clamored that he didn't need Cang Yan to avoid embarrassing him, but after all, he was still a little uncertain.After all, Cangguo sent many spies into Xiaoguo, but none of them really got in touch with the core, which shows the strength of Xiaoguo.

How would you know, as soon as you enter the capital, you will encounter thieves and beggars.

— A thief disguised as a beggar.

Seeing the thief, Cang Yan smiled helplessly, but his hair was so frightened that he wanted to scratch the wall.

He had never seen such a speechless beggar in his life.

The beggar was about eight or nine years old, his small face was like a cat, red and black, it looked like mud and blood, but who was Cang Rui, he had been assassinated eighty times if not a hundred times when he was a child, bloody Still can't smell it?On the child's face, the red color is clearly the special rouge "Smile" from the Western Regions, which is hard to find in the Central Plains; the black color is clearly the best quenched gold ink, which only wealthy families can afford.

Look at the clothes again, yes, they are tattered enough, but the material is of the best quality.It was clearly made of the same material as the ink satin on his body, and even the holes on it were not so much scratched, as it was scratched by those extremely sharp weapons.

Although Cang Rui had an extremely gentle smile on his face, he repeatedly cursed the inexplicable Xiao Guo in his heart.This country of Xiao, either the beggars are too rich or the children of those aristocratic families are too idle, they come here to pretend to be beggars and then work part-time as thieves.

As an outstanding royal family, especially a prince Rui who made the beauties all over the country crazy, he decided to educate this kid well.Therefore, Cang Rui, who originally planned to keep a low profile during the Xiao Kingdom, directly "robbed" a little "beggar" on the street, pressed him back to the post house, started re-educating him, and instilled in him countless children from a family. What should be done, and at the same time enslaved him severely as a teacher, and let him go until he was ready to attend the ceremony.

I don't know if he was too enslaved by himself, the child never came back after he left, so that when Cang Rui left Xiaoguo, he kept saying that the child was a white-eyed wolf, and he didn't give up with good intentions. He sent him to the yamen and took care of his meals for several days, but in the end he didn't know how to send him off when he left.

Speaking of which... Cang Rui rubbed his chin and smiled treacherously. He didn't know how the kid was doing now. Although the kid refused to say his name or wash off the ink and rouge on his face, Cang Rui had a great deal of respect for him. A good boy who is willing to listen carefully is still very tolerant.Unlike his crushing brother Cang Yan, he was sent by Heaven to torture Cang Kingdom.

Speaking of which, what exactly does Xiao Yeqi, the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, want to do.

After reminiscing, Cang Rui started flipping through the invitation card in his hand again and again, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

That Xiao Yeqi had met him once, and it was quite pitiful to say the least. He was only ten years old when he ascended the throne, and he was originally the most unfavored prince in the Xiao Kingdom's royal family.

However, when his father was seriously ill, the 15-year-old prince was killed, and the rest of the princes died one after another. The only males in the royal family were Xiao Yeqi and the regent.Cang Rui didn't believe it when it was said that Xiao Yeqi slaughtered all the royal family to win the throne.After all, Xiao Yeqi is not a legitimate son, and his mother is just the daughter of a small minister's family, whose power is far inferior to other princes, who can quietly send people to kill a bunch of princes without leaving any clues, who can believe that he has this strength.

The only thing that is credible is that the regent needs a puppet emperor, and Xiao Yeqi, who has little power and no talent, is favored by the regent.

The uncle who died in Cang Kingdom a few days ago was the father of Empress Xiao Yeqi.Similarly, this queen was also personally chosen by the Prince Regent five years ago.Cang Rui sighed in his heart, such an emperor who couldn't even choose his own queen, at the age of 20 but still held the power of the court in the hands of his uncle and regent, he was really useless as an emperor.

Trying to recall the little emperor who was nine years younger than himself, Cang Rui found helplessly that his impression of that little emperor was really blurred, he could only vaguely know that the little emperor was good-looking, and he was unwilling to talk. The banquet after ascension to the throne was also in the hands of his uncle.

Speaking of which, his uncle is really good-looking, on the same level as Jiuye Su Yishang, but his temper is too cold.Unexpectedly, after the royal family was purged, that person did not become the emperor himself, but instead supported such a puppet to come to power.

Cang Rui curled his lips, and his eyes fell on the invitation again.

The invitation this time was unprecedented, and it was actually based on the canonization of the queen as an excuse to invite all countries to watch the ceremony.Queen, I heard that after the uncle died in Cangguo, the Queen's family was also found evidence of treason, and the nine clans were punished.

Originally, Cang Rui and the others were still very worried. After all, Yi Yuran, the murderer, passed away, and only found some ashes afterward. But only a little over one or two.As for Prime Minister Yi, he was also found in the Chenqing Palace and died of the secret medicine of the Great Internal Medicine.

When asked about his elder brother, Emperor Feng only said that Prime Minister Yi was not the one who killed him, so he didn't say much.Later, he asked himself to send someone to guard the Prime Minister Yi's mansion until the guards returned.Sure enough, at dawn the next day, a man who looked exactly like Fengdi entered the prime minister's mansion and took away a three or four-year-old child.After reporting this matter to the emperor's brother, the emperor's brother didn't say anything, but sent someone to bury Prime Minister Yi in a grand manner.

Cang Rui is not Cang Yan's well-developed limbs and simple-minded guy. After thinking about it, he can understand that the person who looks exactly like the emperor's brother is probably their father who left after throwing the burden to the emperor's brother 17 years ago. emperor.Presumably, Prime Minister Yi was gifted to death by their father, and the child who was suspected to be the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Yi was probably adopted by his father.And since Brother Huang wants to bury Prime Minister Yi in a grand manner, then, when it comes to giving Xiao Guo an explanation, Prime Minister Yi cannot tell Xiao Guo about it.

Worried that their Cang Kingdom might attract a strong enemy, the Xiao Kingdom sent a document, saying that the Queen's family of the Xiao Kingdom had colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and killed the nine clans.But Guojiu is the first offender, and everyone gets to punish him.It was clear in the words that they did not care about the death of the uncle Guo in the Cang Kingdom, but at the end of the document, they said that Xiao Guo wanted to make a new queen, and that a canonization ceremony was going to be held, and the senior officials of the Cang Kingdom were invited to come to watch the ceremony.

This is already strange enough, but the strangest thing is that Xiao Guo named him by name, saying that Emperor Xiao admired Prince Rui of your country very much, and hoped that Cang Rui could come to watch the ceremony.

The cold hairs of Cang Rui stood on end, thinking that maybe that uncle of some country died in Cang Kingdom, so your Xiao Kingdom wants the Lord Rui of Cang Kingdom to die in your Xiao Kingdom.

He was asked to go to Cang Rui by name, so Cang Cang Rui naturally couldn't stay at home and pretend to be dead.Of course, his imperial brother was quite kind, he didn't let him go into battle alone, and sent the eldest prince Cang Yunjie who had the strongest martial arts among his three sons to accompany him.But, how can a Cang Yunxie do it.

After getting a general understanding of the reason why Cang Yan went down to Shushan Mountain, and knowing that there are likely to be demons everywhere in the country of Xiao, and people who dig their hearts out to bleed if they don't understand it, Cang Rui firmly believes that there is only one Cang Yunjie. is not enough.However, Cang Yan really had no hope, so he ran away with Shimen after a few days of calming down, without giving Cang Rui the chance to beg him.

And the people from Kunlun obviously want to reach Xiao Country as soon as possible with Shushan and his party, most of them left with Shushan first, leaving only Jiuye.

What happened to Nine Nights?

Said that he stayed up all night reading books and didn't get up the next day. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, no one dared (Shushan + most people in Kunlun), and no one was willing (Elder Kaiyang + Xiao Shuyu) to wake him up, so, I could only leave a message asking him to catch up as soon as possible after waking up, and set off first.

As for Su Yishang, he wished that his brother would not go with those people, especially that someone who looked at his brother with tender and doting eyes.Seeing that his brother hadn't woken up, Su Yishang made a decisive decision, turned around and went back to his bedroom to continue sleeping.

Cang Rui told himself that the most painful choice in this world is to have no choice.

So, he asked his friend for help, but a certain little fox, who always took Jiuye's will as his own will and Jiuye's thoughts as his own thoughts, directly set his sights on his brother.

Thus, Cang Rui's dying struggle became meaningless.

Jiu Ye was also unequivocal, and started to write, showing a handful of his admirable wild grass, and then threw it in front of Cang Rui to ask for his signature.Cang Rui wanted to cry, but looked at the various treaties that forfeited power and humiliated the country, and tried to pry out a little room for change with a tone of infinite hope, but what he got in return was turning around without hesitation, and claiming that he was the only friend in this life A certain Shang also patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, saying that although he only has one friend, he also only has one brother, so he would choose his brother instead of his friend.

With tears in his eyes, Cang Rui secretly cursed Xiao Huang who claimed to admire him, and signed his name with trembling hands.

"Alas..." Cang Rui stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees with melancholy eyes.Before waiting for the melancholic temperament to fully display, a cold voice with gentleness, gentleness and hidden evil sounded.The voice was clearly separated by a carriage, but it was sent into his ears with such penetrating power that he couldn't even ignore it.

"Xiao Ruizi, water."

"...Here we come." Cang Rui, who had no time to express his sorrow, responded, took out clear water from the carriage where he was staying, and then jumped out of the carriage.

The only people who watched the ceremony this time were Lord Rui Cang Rui and the eldest prince Cang Yunjie.Due to the unusual identities of the two, and the fact that the world is not peaceful recently, there are a lot of expert guards accompanying them this time. There are dozens of guards in the front to clear the way, and the carriages of the prince and the prince are in the middle... Of course, the eldest prince's His temperament is very similar to Cang Yan's, and he always rides a horse when not in a carriage.The carriage behind the prince is the place where Jiu Ye and Su Yishang stayed. Although the outside looks the same as the prince's carriage, the device inside is extremely carefully designed by Jiu Ye, and the materials are taken from Prince Rui's warehouse.Behind the carriage were several carts of congratulatory gifts dedicated to the Empress Xiao, guarded by several teams of guards.

In short, the Cang Kingdom attaches great importance to this trip, for fear that Prince Rui and the First Prince will have a good or bad relationship.
