It is no exaggeration to say that Xie Xuan has experienced many sufferings in the world. He has long cultivated an indestructible heart, and the mere physical pain cannot shake him at all.

As soon as the effect of the hook kiss wore off, he went down to the ground alive and well again.

Finally, Li Jin's troubles have been temporarily resolved, and the purpose of coming to Yongzhou - to build the canal - can also be put on the agenda.Yu Qian, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was invited to the place where Du Yuzhi lived. The old man was very stubborn, and if he was not allowed to do business, he would walk back and forth with his hands behind his back, walking up and down in the small courtyard Go, it made Du Yuzhi dizzy and miserable.

Fortunately, Du Yuzhi was finally free.

Before you know it, this winter is about to usher in its last days.

When the winter is over and the spring arrives, the work on the canal can be officially started.

Halfway through the three-year period agreed upon by Xie Xuan and Wang Qi, the canal connecting Yongzhou and Yangzhou is the most central section of the campaign route. As long as this section is repaired, the agreement can be fulfilled.

It seems that everything is under control step by step, but Xie Xuan did not take it lightly.

Li Jin seemed to compromise because of Xie Qingyan's arrival. He cooperated with Xie Xuan and others, and at the right time, he threw Xie Qingyan out to punish the Queen Mother for a crime of disrupting the government.

They are all waiting for that opportunity.However, in fact, Li Jin still had a deep fear of Xie Xuan in his heart, and his murderous intention never dissipated.

When the willow tree sprouted, Xie Xuan had already borne the beating drum of the hook kiss by himself. For a long time, the hook kiss would lie dormant in Xie Xuan's body again, waiting for the next battle.

In early spring and February, the buds sprouted, and the cold wind did not harvest.Xie Xuan didn't move out of the post house. They lived in a busy city, and usually came to traffickers, officials, farmers, businessmen, and occasionally chatted with others, and what he heard was remembered in his ears, which was better than him nesting deep in the courtyard. House is much better.

Xie Xuan was sitting in the private room covered by the curtain, Ye Yi stood on the left outside the curtain, and a shadow guard from the Huaiyuan Palace stood on the right, standing there like a general humming, causing people passing by the door to look back frequently.

He insisted on going out when he was not in good health, Qin Ting and Feng Jiuyuan were worried on the left, and the other was not good enough on the right, but they had business in hand, so they couldn't follow Xie Xuan.The yin and yang were so strange that they tried to stop him, but in the end Xie Xuan "battled the Confucians"——

"If Xinglan wants to inquire about it, he can arrange for the shadow guards to go. If Li Jin takes advantage of the loopholes and wants to hurt you, I may be beyond my reach." This is Feng Jiuyuan.

Xie Xuan directly exposed him: "Li Jin would not be so stupid as to kill me in broad daylight."

"The eyes and ears of the 'Dark Pavilion' are all over the world. Your Highness can send Ye Yi to go there. I'm sure you can find out the color of the underpants." This is Qin Huai's preface.

Xie Xuan: "...No need, I'm not interested in the color of other people's underwear."

No one has ever "quarreled" with Xie Xuan.In the end, the two of them had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and one of them sent a door god to guard him.

Originally, Xie Xuan just wanted to find a quiet corner to listen to the recent changes in Yongzhou, but right now, the two door gods stood outside, looking even more dazzling than the Buddha.

"I said..." Xie Xuan finally couldn't help but speak.

Ye Yihe... Xie Xuan forgot that person's name, and Feng Jiuyuan didn't mention it either. Seeing that he is dressed in black, let's call him Ah Hei.

Ye Yi and Ah Hei knelt down in front of Xie Xuan, and said in unison: "Your Highness Thirteenth, please order!"

"I want candied haws." Xie Xuan paused, "I want the ones from the east."

The east of the city is far away, and it takes a stick of incense to go back and forth with their footsteps.

Ye Yi: "Go and buy!"

He nodded his head first, and jumped out of the window like the wind, leaving only the landscape painting hanging on the wall swaying.

Xie Xuan looked at Ah Hei again: "You..."

Ah Hei's eyes were shining, and when his whole body was wrapped in black clothes, only his eyes were the brightest.This appearance instantly made Xie Xuan hold back what he was going to say.

Xie Xuan finally had a rare headache.

He thought about it for a while, and thought, Ye Yi is easy to deceive, Ah Hei was trained by the people of Huaiyuan Palace, it should not be so easy to send away, if he wants to be completely clean, he has to take a strong medicine.

So he covered his chest and squatted down on the ground: "Ah, my heart hurts."

Ah Hei became nervous for a moment: "Your Highness is sick again?!"

Xie Xuan nodded.

"Then, that belongs to..."

Xie Xuan waited for a while, thinking that he was going to talk about hiring a doctor next, after all, his prince often talked about the doctor with excellent medical skills in his family.

Ah Hei: "Go down and tell the prince!"

After all, Ye Yi flew away from where Ye Yi left like the wind.

Xie Xuan: "..."

All right, it will take a while to call Feng Jiuyuan, and he will be able to clean himself up for a while.

In order to ensure the safety of his Thirteenth Highness, the bodyguards who went down to Yongzhou with him from the capital are also indispensable.But they were all hiding in the dark, Xie Xuan was out of sight and out of mind, and the room instantly became spacious.

Tan Xia stepped forward and said knowingly: "Going out?"

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Go out."

Tan Xia followed him: "Be careful to avoid the wind, you've been as cold as iron if you don't move your hands recently."

Xie Xuan teased and said, "Understood, sister."

Tan Xia shook her head helplessly.

Inside the wall of the post house is the place where dignitaries and nobles live, and walking around outside, it is also a good place for many people to settle down.

Xie Xuan was thin and small, and he and Tan Xia came out one after the other. Others would only think that it was some young master who was out for a walk, and they only glanced at his delicate face twice before looking away.

Looking around, there is a lot of voices and crowds.

Some people talked about the canal.

"My younger brothers have all gone to the Yamen to sign up, and the official said that they will be able to start working soon. This is a good job. The official will not force conscripts, and they will pay us wages. This is much more profitable than farming at home."

"That's good! I'll go tomorrow too!"

"You are late, the list is already full! There are so many people doing this!"

Some people chatted about the exams that the local government government had set up recently.

"No matter what your background is, no matter how old you are, whether you are a scholar or a poor peasant, whether you are an octogenarian or a child or a white man who can't read a word, you can go to participate. You only need to pay a tael of silver to be successful in the application. "

"What is the test?"

"I don't know. It's the official who made the test. It is said that the test questions are random. If you pass the test, it seems that you can become an official."

"Is there such a good thing?!"

These people don't know exactly what happened in Yongzhou, and they don't know who Xie Xuan is.But these changes are all related to Xie Xuan.

As early as winter, Xie Xuan kept these things in mind.

Li Jin once recommended Gu Shiqing to Xie Xuan, just that stupid young man who wanted to dedicate himself to him.Although Xie Xuan did not say that his eyes were as bright as a torch, he could still tell the difference between good and bad.

Although this person is a little bit dumbfounded, he is not actually stupid, and there is still a fire in his chest, and he wants to contribute to this beautiful river and mountain. Such a person is usually the best way to handle it.

You give him what he wants, and he'll give you shit.

... except for the body.

It was Gu Shiqing who supervised Xie Xuan's order to enter the official examination.

Although it is only a prototype, it has to be said that it is a good start. It would be even better if Li Jingyang didn't get in the way.

Xie Xuan listened for a while and was very satisfied.The face was even more joyful, guessing that Ye Yi and Ah Hei would be back soon, he would return to the private room in a pretentious manner, pretending that he hadn't wandered around.

A sudden voice broke in.

"I heard that there was a big fire in the palace a few days ago?"

Xie Xuan's footsteps stopped.

Royal Palace.

After leaving the palace for so long, it's not that Xie Xuan has no eyeliner to stay in the palace, but after all he is fledgling, and with the mountain of the Queen Mother pressing him down, it is inevitable that he cannot take care of the place where the mountains are high and the water is far away.

Fortunately, there is another Li Zheng.

In the letter he sent at the beginning, apart from some tender words of love, there were still some serious matters.

For example, Xie Qingshan's recent situation, Wang Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Zhenjun, was still entangled with Goguryeo, and after Xie Xuan left, Xie Duan was taken to the palace again, and stayed in the side hall of Jinluan Palace - Yuhua Palace as before.

and so on.

But until now, Xie Xuan has not received a letter from Li Zheng for a long time.Now that he suddenly heard the news from the palace, it was still a rumor from the people, even though he felt that it was unreliable, he couldn't help but cast his gaze away.

He was a thin, middle-aged man, the age he loved to boast about most, and as soon as he uttered a word, he was instantly placed in the center of the crowd, and he couldn't help feeling elated.

Someone questioned him: "What fire is burning enough for you to know?"

"Then don't worry about it." The man looked smug, "There are people in my family!"

Everyone booed.

"Don't you believe it!" The man became impatient, and exaggeratedly raised his leg and stepped on the stool, "The fire burned at the Wenxuan Gate, which is the closest to the palace gate, and it burned for a day and a night. My elder brother—the one who works in the palace, It is said that there is a conspiracy in it, but many people died!"

"So many people died without any news? I don't believe it." Someone shook his head, stood up and was about to leave, "What are you bragging about? Waste of time."

As if to prove that he was not lying, the man no longer stopped the listener, but raised his head slightly, and said unhurriedly: "There is a man named Xiao Ling who died inside!"

Shocked, Tan Xia subconsciously looked at Xie Xuan, but saw that his little Highness's face did not change, and he did not even blink his eyes.

But she instinctively felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly took Xie Xuan's hand, and said softly: "They are talking nonsense, let's go, go back and see what the prince and the others are doing."

Xie Xuan: "Yes."

He agreed with his mouth, but his footsteps stuck to the floor without moving half an inch.

The rumors continue.

"Who is Xiao Ling?"

The man suddenly bent down mysteriously: "His surname is Xiao, who do you think he might be?"

Among the people left on the scene, there were indeed some who were bluffed by him.I was thinking in my heart, Xiao family, Xiao family...could it be...that one?

The man was very pleased with their reaction, and was about to pat his sleeves to continue telling the story, when suddenly his eyes blurred, and he saw a slender young man approaching, suddenly grabbing his neckline.

"You... who are you!" The man was furious, "Do you know..."

"When?"

The man was taken aback by the question: "What?"

"Let me ask you, when did the fire start?" Xie Xuan said coldly.

For some reason, the man's arrogance died out, and he flinched in fear: "Three, three months ago."

Three months ago, it was the time when Li Zheng's last letter arrived.For three months, Xie Xuan did not receive another letter from the palace.

Xie Xuan let go of the man, and double images piled up in front of his eyes, drowning him to the point of suffocation.

Sir is coming!
