Through the otherworldly peerless

Xi pushed the door and entered Xiangkang's room. Through the bed curtain, he saw two entangled figures lying inside. Xi was two meters away and did not get closer.

Xi nodded his chin and called out in a low voice: "My lord, my lord."

There was movement on the bed, Xiangkang softly comforted the bed partner beside him, and got out of the bed in obscene clothes, lifted the bed curtain, a naked and slender body could be vaguely seen, unexpectedly it was still a young man. Open childish appearance.

Xiangkang knew very well that Xi would not bother him during his rest time unless there was something urgent.

Taking Xi with him, Xiangkang went around the screen and sat down at the table and chairs outside.

Xiangkang put his hands on his knees, opened his legs slightly, and asked Xi: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Xi: "My lord, the person who went to Qingzhou to inquire is back."

Xiangkang: "Back? Did he say anything?"

Xi glanced at Xiangkang, moved closer to Xiangkang, and whispered in Xiangkang's ear: "The people who went to Qingzhou said two things. First, Marquis Wuyi met robbers in Heishan more than a month ago. Hundreds of soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the whereabouts of Marquis Wuyi are unknown."

"Where is unknown?" Xiangkang was taken aback, pointing in the direction outside the window, "Isn't he already living in my mansion?"

Xi: "This is the second thing I want to say. The reason why the people who went there took so long to check is because there is another thing that came out from the city of Qiu in Youzhou. It was rumored that there was a gang He pretended to be Wuyihou and cheated a lot of money from the lord of Qiucheng."

"Counterfeiting?!" Xiangkang stood up suddenly in shock, and his volume was also turned up. Thinking that there was someone on the bed, Xiangkang immediately became vigilant, and he raised his hand to signal to Xi, "Come on, tell me to the study."

Xi followed Xiangkang to the study room, and as soon as the door closed, Xiangkang couldn't wait to ask: "Is the news that the Lord of Qiucheng was cheated reliable?"

Xi: "This, the slave is not very sure."

"Not sure?" Xiangkang immediately said, "Go, go and call me the person who came back from Qingzhou."

Xi: "Yes, my lord, the slave will go now."

Xi left the study, and brought back a strong man in a short while, who looked like a man with kung fu in his hands and feet.

The man entered the study and knelt down to salute Xiang Kang: "My lord."

Xiangkang said: "Let me ask you, how did Qingzhou know about the fact that the Lord of Qiucheng was cheated? It doesn't make sense for Qingzhou to know about such a big matter. There is no news about my Baicheng, right?"

The spies replied: "This matter has not been spread. The spies at Changhou's side said that only a few people around Changhou knew about this matter, and Changhou himself personally issued an order that this matter is not allowed to be publicized. Those who kill without mercy."

Xiangkang frowned: "What does Marquis Chang mean by this? He has always been the most discordant with Marquis Yan, but now that he has taken advantage of Marquis Yan, he didn't take the opportunity to deal with Marquis Yan, but instead helped him hide such a big embarrassment? Why exactly?"

Xi thought for a while: "Perhaps... Changhou thinks there is fraud in this matter?"

Xiang Kang sneered: "What a crime is it to impersonate Marquis of Wuyi? That would cost the whole family their heads! Not to mention this, isn't he afraid of offending Marquis of Wuyi if Marquis Yan uses this to frame Marquis Chang? But after all, he is His Majesty's younger brother, and Wu Yihou dare not do anything to him, what will His Majesty think? Is the new emperor just going to be slapped in the face by a Bohou when he ascends the throne?"

Xi: "Then... is it possible that this is true? In other words, this unceremonious prince in our mansion, would he—"

Xiangkang pursed his lips: "Probably not. I have carefully checked the document in his hand, and it is true. Besides, Baicheng is not Qiucheng. Baicheng has no money, not even food. How can there be such a sinful city?" Will you come here to suffer the punishment?"

Xi was ashamed: "The slave is dull, but you are wise, my lord."

Xiangkang glanced at him, and cursed in a reproachful tone: "What's the use of me wanting you!"

But there was no effort on his face, and there was even a bit of pride, especially after he said that, and after Xi said a few more words "Your Excellency is wise", Xiangkang's face completely disappeared.

Sitting there, Xiangkang thought about what Jiangxi had told him, and after a while, he asked the spy in front of him, "Wuyihou met robbers in Heishan, did you find out something else? Which group of robbers are they?" , so powerful?"

Spy: "The Black Mountain is at the junction of Youzhou and Yanzhou. Because it is a dense virgin forest, Youzhou and Yanzhou have never included it in their own area. It is almost a boundary that they don't care about. So who are the bandits? , no one dares to say, but—”

Xiangkang: "But what?"

The spy hesitated.

Xiangkang urged: "Say! What are you dawdling for?"

Spy: "However, I have heard rumors that those people are not robbers at all. After all, they are hundreds of soldiers from the Xia Dynasty. How could they be killed overnight without even seeing their bodies?"

Xiangkang frowned: "What do you mean by that? Does it mean that people were not robbers at all at that time, or that they didn't encounter any robbers at all?"

Spy: "...Both are possible."

Xiangkang scolded: "Nonsense!"

The spy immediately knelt back to the ground: "Please calm down, my lord. This servant has been investigating this matter for a long time, but in the end, I couldn't find out the result. The servant knew that my lord was waiting to report back, so I didn't dare to delay any longer. I thought about coming back, and will Tell the adults about the things you inquire about first, and then the adults will decide."

Xiangkang stood up and walked back and forth in the study room. His face was a little dark, and Xi was the person he had been with the longest. Seeing that Xiangkang obviously had something on his mind, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you think there is anything wrong with this matter?" Okay? Do you want this servant to find a chance to find out from the servant next to Marquis Wuyi?"

"No," Xiangkang vetoed, "I thought that this Wuyihou was frightened by the robbers, so he didn't even dare to take revenge, but what if those people are not robbers at all? Does he know, or not?" Know? If he knows, but still doesn't mention a word, then I'm afraid we have to get to know this unceremonious prince again."

Xiangkang pursed his lips, and said to the kneeling spy: "Go to Qingzhou again, and check up on this bandit for me. If you have any news, come back and tell me immediately."

Spy: "Yes, my lord!"

The spies left the study and rushed to Qingzhou overnight, not daring to stay for a moment.

Xiangkang was also preoccupied. He sat on the chair, looking at the candlelight in front of him, with an obscure expression on his face.

"My lord..." Xi poured a cup of tea for Xiangkang, and whispered, "Your lord is worried?"

Xiangkang glanced at him: "Then tell me, what am I worried about, my lord?"

Xi smiled: "I don't know, I just feel that you are not very happy."

Xiangkang sneered: "I don't think you don't know, but you dare not say it?"

Xihehe smiled.

Xiangkang said in a deep voice: "When it comes to robbers, others don't know, but you and I don't? It's just about civilians who don't have enough food and clothing. They are forced to have no choice but to become robbers together. These people It’s okay to let them snatch the passing merchants, but grab the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty? I’m afraid that when those soldiers stand there, they will all be scared to death.”

Xi nodded: "Your Excellency said so."

Xiangkang looked up at him with gloomy eyes: "Xi, tell me, are those people robbers? If they are not, then who are they...? Tell me, could it be—"

Xiangkang didn't finish speaking, his complexion became more and more bad, and his brows and eyes were full of anger.

"If it's really them, they actually decide on such a big matter without authorization, hmph! I think they don't take me seriously now, and they don't think about who gave them a way out back then, that's how they are." "Mine? Assassination of Wuyihou? I think everyone here thinks that one death is not enough, and they want to die a second time!"

The more Xiangkang talked, the more angry he became, and finally he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the teacup fell to pieces in an instant.

Seeing that Xiangkang was really angry this time, Xixi quickly comforted him: "My lord, please calm down first, according to my slaves, they may not have done this. After all, they are desperadoes who always use other people's money to replace others. Misfortune, you think, who in this world would dare to assassinate Wuyihou for no reason? Didn’t the spies say just now that those soldiers were dead but could not see their bodies? Maybe... maybe those people ran away by themselves? This is Baicheng, Everyone knows that after coming here, that life will be over."

Xi pointed to the direction of the door: "Look at that General Wu, since he came to Baicheng, he didn't even carry a saber all day long, he's like a piece of trash, he just knows how to hang around every day, eat and wait to die, so what's wrong with him?" It's not because he knows in his heart that if he follows Wuyihou all his life, his future will be in vain."

Hearing what Xi said, Xiangkang thought for a while: "What you said is somewhat reasonable. The soldiers are all civilians, and no one cares about their life and death. Wu Hui is different. He was born and carries his entire family on his shoulders. Even if he is a useless concubine, if he dares to run away, let alone His Majesty, even his family will never let him go, so there is no way for him to run away."

Tin: "That's right, my lord."

Xiangkang's complexion got better now, and he said to Xi: "Don't go inquiring about those around Baili Wushuang, I see those stupid slaves, they still can't tell the situation clearly, what about Baili Wushuang? Li Wushuang is still obedient, but this Wu Hui, he became a general at a young age, and he was a bit capable before, but this time he was sent to send Baili Wushuang to Baicheng. Let’s try it out personally and see if we can find out something.”

Xi laughed and said, "Yes, don't worry, my lord, this servant knows what to do."

"Hmph! Look at your nasty look!" Xiangkang scolded, "Don't forget to find out whether he is interested in a man or a woman. come out!"

Xi: "My lord, don't worry! I've inquired about this matter a long time ago, this Wu Hui likes men!"

Xiangkang narrowed his eyes: "Then pick a good-looking one and send it over. Aren't there many in the mansion?"

Tin: "Yes, my lord."
