Chapter 504 What are these two little things doing?

Sang Zhixia was obviously making multiple preparations.

First, he went to Lingnan to take advantage of Jiang Yubai's power to open up wasteland and build a farm. Then, he openly cooperated with Jiang Yubai to open a shop and do business. Finally, he secretly sent Xue Liu and others out in batches. After one move was made, it was impossible to tell where the next move would go.

Although Sang Zhixia's arrangements are compact and coordinated, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Sang Zhixia's moves were all very hasty.

She is anxious.

This kind of impatience was not the first time that Sang Zhixia showed it, but it was the first time that she did not hide her eagerness at all, anxious to put all her ideas into practice in the shortest possible time.

Sang Zhixia took Xu Yu's hand and played with it for a while, her brows unchanged. She said lazily, "After Xue Liu and the others leave, they won't act under the banner of Sanyou Farm anymore."

"I'll have them pretend to be merchants dealing with Sanyou Farm. Their relationship will only involve the exchange of goods and money, nothing else."

The cooperation with Jiang Yubai is sincere.

Separate this part from the whole and make it its own.

This way, even if something goes wrong tomorrow, there is a way out left in advance.

Xu Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and Sang Zhixia said calmly: "I am a little anxious. After all, from what you and the young prince said, the wind direction in Kyoto is not right."

The road to the northwest is long. Even if the sky in Kyoto falls, it will not affect here for a while.

But before the sky falls and the earth collapses, she always tries to erect a pillar that can stand firm, so as to avoid being in a panic when the time really comes.

The darkness in Xu Yu's eyes deepened. He lowered his head and gently pecked Sang Zhixia's fingertips, saying hoarsely, "Zhizhi, actually..."

"I know you have an idea in your mind, but I can't rely on you alone."

Sang Zhixia's fingertips itched, and she couldn't help but hook her finger and whispered, "There are so many things going on at home, young and old, and if they all depend on you, are you really that strong?"

"Don't worry, I will make sure they do it very secretly so no one will find out."

These people who have dispersed will no longer have any relationship with the Northwest Xu family in the future, and no matter who investigates, they will not be able to find out anything.

Sang Zhixia also secretly used the connections given to her by Mr. Qi to pave an unknown business route through other channels.

Even Xue Liu and the others didn't know these people. Although they served the same master, if they ran into each other face to face on the street, they would not know each other's identities. It was absolutely safe and hidden.

The pebbles scattered temporarily could not cause any splashes and were inconspicuous at first glance.

But in time, when the manpower deployed openly and secretly is connected into a line, it will be the biggest life-saving talisman in Sang Zhixia's hand.

Sang Zhixia had no intention of hiding these things from Xu Yu, and whenever she mentioned them, she would explain them clearly in detail.

Xu Yu listened quietly, and when Sang Zhixia paused, he passed the warm water to her lips. After she drank half a cup, he said jokingly, "Mr. Qi, aren't you afraid that you will tell me all this?"

Old Qi still disliked Xu Yu in every way, and whenever they met, they would always confront each other.

But no matter how harsh the old man was to Xu Yu, he treated Sang Zhixia with indescribable gentleness and kindness, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was heartfelt.

Thinking of the old man's criticism of him, Xu Yu couldn't help but say subtly, "If he knew you told me everything, wouldn't my life be in danger?"

That old man was so cruel!

Sang Zhixia was amused and shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to drink anymore. After Xu Yu put the cup back on the table, she said casually, "Even though Mr. Qi always looks at you with a slanted eye, he has never denied your ability."

To be precise, disliking something does not conflict with giving orders.

Old Qi felt sorry for Sang Zhixia's worries, so he simply gave Sang Zhixia clear instructions and told her to ask Xu Yu for help. It would be best if Xu Yu did everything he needed to do, picked the fruits, and then waited for Sang Zhixia to reap the benefits.

But there is no need to explain this in too much detail, otherwise who will be held responsible if Xu Yu becomes depressed and goes to seek death with Qi Lao again?

Xu Yu immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Sang Zhixia's words and said with a sigh, "He really knows how to order people around."

"But it doesn't matter whether he thinks I'm capable or not. What matters is that you think I'm awesome."

Xu Yu suddenly changed the subject, his face full of frivolity, and he smiled at Sang Zhixia with raised eyebrows like a playboy, "Zhizhi, do you think I'm awesome?"

Sang Zhixia was not interested in his childish behavior of wanting to show off for no reason, so she nodded insincerely: "Great, great! I can't find anyone more powerful than you."

"You're the first one, right?"

Xu Yu laughed softly at her perfunctory response, and moved forward shamelessly to squeeze into a large recliner with Sang Zhixia. He placed his big hand on Sang Zhixia's very noticeable abdomen, feeling the ups and downs from his palm, and couldn't help frowning.

"What are these two little guys doing?"

There is a lot of disgust between the lines.

Sang Zhixia originally wanted to refute, but when the words came to her lips, the arc of her abdomen arched a little more, and she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in pain. Then she saw that Xu Yu's face also turned dark.

These two little things are really capable of causing trouble.

They have been living halfway up the mountain for ten days. During this time, Sang Zhixia has been well taken care of and has been able to eat and sleep well. The only regret is that she is easily woken up by being kicked at night.

And they not only kick at night, but also make noise during the day.

Whenever Sang Zhixia sat down to rest for a while, the baby in her belly would become as excited as if he had been drunk for three days and could not control himself at all.

Sang Zhixia would sometimes feel hurt from being kicked, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would see Xu Yu staring at her stomach with a gloomy face, his eyes dark and she didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that the man's eyebrows were beginning to knot again, Sang Zhixia said unhappily, "Are you getting angry now?"

"Then wait a few months, when one is hanging on the shoulder and the other on the leg, we'll see what you do."

Xu Yu held his breath and was unable to continue. Since this was indeed his fault, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll naturally find a way to deal with it once I get out."

Sang Zhixia chuckled and didn't take it seriously. She patted her belly gently as if to comfort them. After the little ones calmed down a bit, she turned and asked, "Is there any movement in Kyoto?"

According to Xu Wenxiu and the others, Sang Zhixia is in a special period now, and Xu Yu should not tell her about things like fighting and killing. Even if Sang Zhixia is brave and will not be scared, it is not good for the child to dirty her ears.

But Xu Yu never listened to what these people said.

When Sang Zhixia asked him about it, he said that as long as it was not too exaggerated, with a little embellishment and beautification, it would be acceptable to the ear.

Xu Yu lowered his eyes and said, "The heat of the instigation has almost reached its peak. The one imprisoned in the Eastern Palace can no longer wait."

In order to protect the prince, the emperor suppressed public opinion and forcibly kept him in the Eastern Palace.

Although the East Palace has countless high walls, it cannot stop the gossip and criticism. As long as one is willing, the voices will always be able to get in.

Xu Yu let out a hint of sarcasm as he said slowly, "After the New Year, the Emperor will go hunting in the palace. This is a royal tradition. It will probably be around that time."

In the hunting grounds, swords and knives are blind, and poisoned arrows cannot tell whose life is more precious.

Amidst the flash of swords and the shadows, people's hearts are treacherous. It's just unfortunate that a few people died. Isn't this human nature?
