Nangong Jiu smiled.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes, there will always be a way.
There is a bamboo forest in the backyard of the general's mansion, which is usually very quiet.
The environment in my uncle's house is also very good, and there is also a pavilion, which should be suitable for cultivation."
In the evening, Liu Hao took everyone back home.
Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing with him and disappeared from the spot.
Liao Yongxian's study.
After Liao Yongxian returned home, he locked himself in the study and weighed the pros and cons.
He didn't leave the study until evening.
The confidant brought the dinner and placed it in front of him: "Master, please eat first. Your health is more important."
Liao Yongxian waved his hand: "I am extremely anxious, how can I eat?"
"Master, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. Why don't you just give up?
If you serve as His Highness's subordinate well and do the things His Highness instructs you to do, you will have fewer worries.
No matter what, you are now the highest-ranking official in Xiyue except for His Highness.
No matter how you try, you can't get past His Highness, unless..."
Liao Yongxian stared at his confidant: "Unless what?"
"Master, even if you win over all the officials to your side, what will happen?
You still have to listen to His Highness and the Emperor.
Unless... unless you want to rebel!"
Liao Yongxian was so angry that he threw a small object at his confidant.
"How dare you say such words?"
"I am telling the truth. The gods are watching you. You can't hide anything you do from them.
Aren’t you afraid that His Highness will discover your ambition and remove you from office?
The words of the gods today are both a warning and a hint."
Liao Yongxian waved his hand: "Alright, don't you think I'm annoying enough? Go away and leave me alone."
The confidant was extremely worried: "Master? Think about the fate of the royal family."
Liao Yongxian looked at the back of his confidant, remembered the warning from the gods in the morning, and thought of the fate of the royal family, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
Nangong Jiu, who was invisible, listened to the words of the master and servant, watched Liao Yongxian's struggle, and had an idea in his mind.
As long as you still know how to be afraid, it will be easy.
Nangong Jiu left a mark on the roof of Liao Yongxian's study, then called Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing and left Liao's house.
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Your Excellency, that subordinate is quite clear-headed."
"Well, Lord Liao should be thankful that he has such a subordinate who always reminds him of the dangers."
Xiao Xing asked curiously, "Your Majesty, you left a mark in his study. Do you want to monitor him at all times?"
Nangong Jiu burst out laughing: "Although your words are not very pleasant to the ear, I do mean that.
That mark is just a shadow of the original body. Let it represent the original body and occasionally flash in front of him to have a deterrent effect. "
"That's a great idea of yours!" Xiaoxing praised sincerely.
“This is all thanks to that maid. She accused the gods of not protecting their people, and that’s when I got the inspiration.
In order to prevent him from doing anything that harms the people, I have to monitor him from time to time, so I leave a shadow and occasionally appear."
Xiao Wang was puzzled: "Why not let the Second Prince come? It would be easier to just withdraw him."
"How could it be that easy? Uncle has only been in charge of Xiyue for about a month, and he's already making drastic layoffs. This will cause dissatisfaction among officials and panic among the people who don't know the truth."
"That's right! This Lord Liao has a certain influence among the officials and the people."
"Well, so, being able to influence him now is the best outcome.
If he can serve the people well, why not use him?
If he really can't be persuaded and insists on forming cliques, I'll deal with him next year. I have a plan."
Xiao Wang stopped and said, "Your Majesty, are we going back?"
Nangong Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the homes of those ministers. It's dinner time now, so it's a good opportunity to see how they are living."
Xiao Wang carried Nangong Jiu on his back and went to Mu Qingchun's house in secret.
As it turned out, Mu Qingchun was not there, so they went to Huang Zhongyuan's residence.
This time we were lucky, as several officials were drinking and chatting at Huang Zhongyuan's house.
"When the gods spoke today, those who were eager to try didn't dare to breathe and obediently put away their thoughts."
"You're being too optimistic. Once His Highness and the Princess leave, they'll inevitably take chances for their own benefit."
"Unless they want to follow in the emperor's footsteps."
"Let's hope that the gods' eyes are everywhere and that the people can have a few days of good life."
"Yes, after Your Highness took over, taxes were reduced, and the people had hope, so they were very motivated.
If those officials interfere, will the people be disheartened?"
"Don't worry, I firmly believe that the gods and His Highness will not allow this to happen..."
Nangong Jiu was delighted to hear this, and simply sat on the lotus plate transformed by Xiao Wang and appeared.
"You are right. I will not allow anything that harms the people to happen.
While His Highness and the Princess are away, you must perform your duties diligently and set a good example.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a paper bird fluttered down and landed on their wine table.
"I leave this paper bird to you. Please keep it safe. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, or any emergencies, just talk to the paper bird..."
Several people were very happy.
"That's great! The believers have the confidence to protect the people and Xizhou City."
"Well, if you encounter any problems, you can also go to the defenders in Xizhou City. They are trustworthy."
"Yes, believers, please remember this!"
Nangong Jiu glanced at them and cast a golden light on them: "You have done good deeds for the people, so you have a lot of merits.
From now on, you will be free from illness and disaster and live a peaceful and smooth life."
Several people knelt down and kowtowed: "Believers kowtow to thank the gods for their protection!"
Huang Zhongyuan hurriedly knelt down and took a few steps.
"My parents are elderly and have just returned to the city from the countryside. They are constantly sick. Can I ask the gods for help?"
"Call the old men out, I will heal them."
After Huang Zhongyuan kowtowed several times, he happily called the two elderly people over.
Nangong Jiu stretched out his hand, and another ray of golden light covered the two old men.
After staying for a long time, he withdrew his hand.
The two elderly people expressed their gratitude in surprise: "Thanks to the gods, the believers' waist and leg pains are gone, and they no longer cough or have shortness of breath..."
Nangong Jiu smiled and nodded.
"You two have a good son who speaks up for the people. This is what you both deserve."
After saying that, he looked at several officials.
"Remember to be neither arrogant nor impatient, keep a low profile, and don't lose your original intention. Remember this!"
After he finished speaking, he slowly disappeared in front of the few people.
After leaving the official's house, Nangong Jiu felt relieved.
"This way, we can leave with peace of mind. At least when we come back next year, it won't be a mess."
At the end of the next day.
The group set off lightly.
The people who heard the news lined the streets to see him off, and all the officials were waiting at the city gate.
"Farewell, Your Highness, and the Princess..."
