Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

On the official road, a group of people drove in the direction of Jinyang City in the twilight.

The speed of the horse is too fast, Shan Xuechen can only rely on Ji Xiu to find the balance as much as possible. The wind howled, but nothing could counteract the existence of the person behind him, Ji Xiu, you are my world.

"Woo—" The horse stopped suddenly, Ji Xiu and all the hidden guards dismounted, Shan Xuechen saw that this was the suburb of Jinyang, and all the hidden guards gave Ji Xiu a fist: "Let's retreat first."

The place where the hidden guards were active was the thatched hut in the outskirts, so Shan Xuechen naturally didn't know.

"Well," Ji Xiudao, motioned the group of hidden guards to stand up, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's a matter of duty," Guan Er shook his head.

Ji Xiu said 'hmm', then took Shan Xuechen onto the horse, and rode away.

Pu Rendong showed disgust without any scruples in his eyes.

Chu Chu glanced at Pu Rendong, then at the prince who was riding Juechen, wanted to say something but closed his mouth again, the master has changed a lot, this change made the hearts of these hidden guards start to shake.

"These have nothing to do with us," Guan Shanyuan said indifferently, the hidden guards are all under the orders of the prince, and the decisions made by the prince usually only need to be implemented. The sun has slowly risen and it is shining golden.

Ran Xiaohan, Shi Beichen, and Nan Guiyan didn't make a statement, they all turned their heads and got on their horses, heading towards the outskirts of the city in the rising sun.

Jinyang City

Something is wrong with Jinyang City.

It is early morning, the time of the morning market, there are not many people on the street, but there are also many people, but what makes people feel surprised is that the original gray and white buildings are coated with a layer of red. Tongtong tied a piece of red satin on the signboard, the red satin is only three feet long, and the satin is fluttering in the wind, which makes it feel a bit sluggish.

Ji Xiu's complexion was very bad.

Compared with the festive red all over the city, Ji Xiu's face was darkened.

Shan Xuechen was very puzzled, but seeing Ji Xiu's face, he didn't dare to ask further. The two of them rode horses in Jinyang City, which caught a lot of attention. They rode horses and passed Suzaku After walking down the street for a while, we arrived at Dongshi, and after a few steps, we arrived at Wangfu.

Ji Xiu's face had turned black.

Several craftsmen in front of the palace gate were beating and beating.

"Is this repairing the palace?"

Ji Xiu ignored Shan Xuechen, got off his horse and knocked on the door.

It was Uncle Zhong who opened the door. When Uncle Zhong saw that the two had come back safely, he couldn't help being overjoyed and quickly welcomed them in.

"Master Biao is finally back!" Uncle Zhong led the two of them to the corridor, where there was a brazier, "Hurry up, step over the brazier to get rid of the bad smell."

"Wait," Ji Xiu suddenly grabbed Shan Xuechen's arm, which had already been raised. Ji Xiu looked at Uncle Zhong, "Can Uncle Zhong explain the reason?"

"what?"

Shan Xuechen always felt that Ji Xiu turned his face too quickly when he came back this time, so he looked at him very strangely, Ji Xiu tried his best to be kind and said to him: "I left the mansion to find you, these days Jinyang needs a lot of business I'll deal with it, I have to get busy."

"Oh," Shan Xuechen didn't think much, and left on his own, leaving Uncle Zhong and Ji Xiu to discuss business.

After Shan Xuechen left, Ji Xiu's anger overflowed all of a sudden, "How did Jinyang become like this during my absence?"

Ji Xiu used to be indifferent to his emotions and anger. Even if he was angry, he was angry in secret, never showing it to others, let alone blushing at his loyal uncle who had served him for more than ten years. I was shocked.

"The ups and downs of Jinyang City are really festive, so festive, unless the King of Jinyang is about to marry a wife," Ji Xiu almost burst out these words from between his teeth.

Uncle Zhong didn't know how to answer him. This matter was decided by He Min and His Excellency, but in the final analysis, at the end of last year, the prince also agreed. It was completely renovated, and Miss Liu was married in with great excitement.

Ji Xiudao: "Inform Master He Minhe that I'm back and I'll be waiting for him in the ancestral hall."

When Ji Xiu left, there was a layer of black air all over his body, and Uncle Zhong was in a cold sweat.

It's not that he doesn't know about Ji Xiu and Xiao Bai, but there are some things that cannot be changed. For example, Ji Xiu is the prince of Jinyang, for example, Jinyang now needs a wealthy in-law to marry.

Ji Xiu is not only Ji Xiu of Jinyang, but also Qi Yuanxiu of Ning Dynasty.

He should take this responsibility.

ancestral hall

"Are you back?" He Min arrived at the ancestral hall, smiling at Ji Xiushan's back.

Ji Xiu turned around all of a sudden, and when He Min approached, he drew out his sword with a swish.

"What do you mean?" He Min looked at the shining sword edge in front of him with a look of surprise.

"Where did you get the guts?"

Ji Xiu couldn't see any waves in his eyes, as if there was a deep sea full of unknown fears.

Ji Xiu looked at He Min, "How did the Hanzhong Liu family benefit you?"

He Min closed his eyes, he knew it would be futile to explain.

Invitations from the Liu family have been sent all over the mainland, from Beidu to Zhongshan. Everyone in the whole mainland knows that there will be a grand wedding in Jinyang half a month later, and Miss Liu will marry to Jinyang and become a princess.

Marriage with Hanzhong is a matter of all benefits and no harm. A few days ago, the Liu family in Hanzhong sent some craftsmen to repair the mansion. It is only half a month before the wedding day. The Liu family hopes that this wedding can be held in a decent manner. The daughter married and became the princess, and Hanzhong will belong to Jinyang in the future. The craftsmen and artists in Hanzhong are very powerful. The Liu family in Hanzhong is the invisible force in Hanzhong. There are no princes in Hanzhong, and naturally there is no army. Relying on a strong military force, I talked about the marriage with Ji Xiu years ago, and Ji Xiu also agreed. Who would have expected that these things would happen in the next few months? The lord, even started to melt.

This problem is extremely difficult.

He Min doesn't want to think about these things anymore, the matter is a foregone conclusion, if Ji Xiu wants to kill him, he can kill him.

"Qi Yuanxiu, put down the sword," Gao Bing said solemnly. He and Wang Jian just returned to the Jinyang palace the day before yesterday. They went to Yinshui to find Shanmi, but they returned in vain. When they returned to Jinyang and found these excessive decorations, they understood why. What's going on, I didn't expect that the more terrible thing is yet to come.

How could Ji Xiu listen to these things now.

"Put down the sword first!" Wang Jian shouted.

Ji Xiu shook his head, this time Ji Xiu was determined to resist to the end.

What the hell did you do!

Gao Bing suddenly sneered, and then laughed and cursed: "Take the blade to the brother who has grown up since childhood, Ji Xiu is really a wolf-hearted thing!"

After so long, how could I forget the marriage between Hanzhong and Jinyang!

Wang remonstrated: "If you kill He Min and Lord He, then kill me and Lord Gao together!"

"Don't think I dare not!"

"On the third day of next month, half a month from now, the Liu family's young lady is going to visit the house. The Liu family has already notified the whole mainland of this news," He Min suddenly smiled, looking at Ji Xiu without a trace of fear.

"You are the Prince of Jinyang, you must remember this fact."

"I know I'm a jerk, I shouldn't have arranged these things while you were away to make you feel uncomfortable, impermanent, I don't say those bullshit comforting words, and I don't expect you to forgive me, everyone grew up from childhood Brother, I also know that you feel uncomfortable. I didn't care about what you did to me and Juzi before, because you are a prince. You have your plans and ambitions. As a courtier, you should have the consciousness of being used "He Min suddenly laughed nervously, "I have the self-consciousness of being a courtier, but do you have the self-consciousness of being a prince?"

"Marriage is a very small matter for those in power," He Min simply knelt down, behind him was the neat tablet of King Jinyang, "King Jinyang has been handed down for thirteen years. Now, even if the old prince is here, I'm afraid you won't be so capricious."

Ji Xiu's lips lost their color all of a sudden.

Wang Jian frowned, unwilling to say a word.

He also found out about the marriage after returning with Gao Bing. These are all things that can’t be helped. If you want to get something, you have to sacrifice something. This is the reality of this world.

Gao Bing also knelt down, "Qi Yuanxiu, I have never kneeled before in my life. Even in the northern capital, Taoist priests didn't have to kneel when they met the emperor. I will kneel for you today. I just hope you can think about it. You and your lord did nothing wrong."

Gao Bing has always seen the sorrows and joys of the world with a cold eye. Such a person will live under pressure, but it is also because of these pressures that Gao Bing has a firm quality that is easy for ordinary people.

The ancestral hall is not small, but it is extremely crowded because of these knees, so crowded that it is almost twisted.

Ji Xiu's sword hadn't left He Min's neck yet. Seeing this scene, Ji Xiu turned his head to look at Gao Bing, with a Shura version of a smile on his face: "Is Master Gao forcing me?"

Looking again, the sword has entered the throat.

Gao Bing hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

Ji Xiu glared at Gao Bing and the others: "Get lost!"

"Presumptuous!" Gao Bing looked at He Min who was bleeding profusely from his neck, he looked down on the current Ji Xiu, what is the difference between Ji Xiu like this and the rascal in the market?

What a fucking crime!

Ji Xiu's head hurt even more, the straighter the road, the more he would unconsciously take a bend.

He really wanted to kill everyone in this room, including himself, and his rationality told him that they did nothing wrong, but his emotions were clamoring, clamoring for the hypocritical and real world.Everything is hidden under layers of hypocrisy, everything is pretending, hiding, and deceiving.

There were cuckoos calling again and again outside the house, the sound was loud and piercing, and it was too noisy.

In a few days, it will be the beginning of summer, and there will be more rain. Rainy days are always the beginning and end of a story, full of traces of dampness.

"My lords, please clear it up," Wang Jian said, "Always kneeling is not a solution," Wang Jian said while glancing at Ji Xiu, "Marriage is not a big deal, it's just your Jin Jin The matter of Lord Yang’s nodding, whether you are willing or not, has nothing to do with us, we have fulfilled our responsibilities, whether or not Prince Jinyang is willing to do his duty is your business.”

Ji Xiu's face was even uglier.

Wang Jian supported Gao Bing and He Min to get up, "The artisans of Hanzhong live in the mansion. If you don't want to, you can send them away at any time. You are the prince and you have the right." Wang Jian and He Min glanced at each other. Then he said: "Today is really abrupt. The prince just came back, and the lord came here. It is also arrogance. Everyone has just arrived in Jinyang, and right now the thoughts are still chaotic. Let's withdraw first. Everyone Think about it."

This is true, but it is also a policy of appeasement. Everyone needs to think about it carefully. Just after Ji Xiu went to the bowl to save his sweetheart and came back, he was faced with the situation of being married. Wang Jian and Gao Bing went to Yinshui, as expected After returning in vain, the current situation is as lukewarm as a pot of soy milk, sticky and unbearable. The old school in Jinyang has fallen, but what is more serious than the old school is social reform. If you want social reform, you must have strong external support , External forces include human, financial, and influence.

On the human side, it seems that Shanmi will not help. It is expected that the eccentric Mr. Shanmi is unwilling to help this nephew who has stolen everything from him, but the Liu family in Hanzhong can solve the financial resources and influence. Yuyan's businessman joined the Yu family in Zhenyuan, which is the icing on the cake.

If Hanzhong sent his daughter directly to Jinyang at the end of last year, I am afraid that she would have been the princess of Jinyang long ago. How can there be so many things? At that time, Ji Xiu was still the cold-faced and cold-hearted Lord Yan. Marrying a woman is not good for him. Talking about it is nothing more than political needs, so where did all the trouble come from?

What a crime, Wang Jian couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

This is called the fate chart, and what is written on the fate chart cannot be changed by ordinary people.A person who has been in the dark for a long time and occasionally comes into contact with the sun is greedy like a poppy, how can he return to the darkness.
