Chapter 179 Emperor Xuanwen was not poisoned
The carriage and the escort went to the business.
It was an independent courtyard with its back to the mountain and in front of the water, and facing the street. The facade was very luxurious, with a plaque with three large characters in official script: "Hanlonghao".
The guard at the gate did not make any noise. He opened the gate in an orderly manner, and the carriage entered, and the gate was immediately closed.
The carriage stopped in the yard. Qingshan and others got off the horses, opened the door, put down the footstool, and a tall figure came out of the carriage.
It was Chu Xiwang, whom Xie Yanyan hadn't seen for several months.
If Xie Yanyan was there, she would have noticed that among the dozen or so guards surrounding the carriage, there were Qingshan and Qingjin, whom she had seen several times, and Qingxiu, who was about to meet her.
Chu Xiwang is not arrogant, but his subordinates cannot disrespect their master.
Everyone knelt down, too excited to look up, and shouted "Long live the king".
Chu Xiwang asked Qingshan to help him up, and said gently: "Didn't you call me Second Master before? You can still call me Second Master."
How dare we?
Chu Xiwang stopped calling each other brothers and sat down according to the hierarchy of monarch and subject. After talking for a while, he said to Qingshan, "Don't tell me my identity for now. Instruct Wanghai Pavilion to prepare a table of dishes from the capital of the Former Qin Dynasty."
Qing Jin went to Wanghai Pavilion in person to make arrangements.
Chu Xiwang opened the bayonet that Qingshan brought back and pulled out a dagger from the scabbard. The cold light reflected the human figure and the blood groove was frightening.
"Go and find out what Miss Xie is doing?"
"yes."
Not long after, someone came back and reported: "Miss Xie just arrived at Keyue Inn today. She came on horseback."
"Princess Changping went to invite her in person, but she was bitten by a poisonous snake at the Longmen County Inn, so Miss Xie and Zhou Tu and others rode to Chencheng first."
"Now, Miss Xie is teaching them to play a kind of card game on the stone table in the yard."
Chu Xiwang was very surprised when he heard the report: "Playing cards?"
"Yes, they are playing cards. It is a kind of cards that I have never seen before. Zhou Tu also knows how to play it. Miss Xie taught him."
Chu Xiwang put the bayonet back into its sheath, stood up, and said, "Let's go see Miss Xie."
Qingshan said: "Second Master should take a rest first, you are too tired."
"Go ahead. There's no need for a carriage. Let's go on foot."
Chu Xiwang stood up. He was tall and even though he was wearing an ordinary white robe, he still looked majestic.
Qingshan, Qingjin and Qingxiu, hurry up and follow.
A group of four people went to Zhou Tuzai's courtyard in Keyue Inn with confidence.
After knocking on the door, the gatekeeper opened it. When he heard that they were there to see Xie Yanyan, he asked them to wait and ran in.
Chu Xiwang heard the excited voices of several people in the yard.
"Bomb him, bomb him, bomb him."
"What are you bombing? I have a big ghost."
"A straight, if you can't beat it, it will explode."
"It can't be blown up. He hit a straight flush, the biggest bomb."
Chu Xiwang thought that this might be the card game that Miss Xie taught everyone to play.
The yard was quiet for a moment. The servant seemed to say something to Xie Yanyan. Xie Yanyan stopped and followed the servant.
Zhou Tu and Xu Wenrong followed out.
"Brother Chu? Why are you here?"
"Xie, Miss." Chu Xiwang was at a loss for words. "Long time no see. I've ordered a table of food at Wanghai Pavilion. Can we get together for a while?"
He saw Xu Wenrong and Zhou Tu behind him and politely invited Xu Wenrong: "Master Xu, would you like to join us?"
Xu Wenrong just smiled without answering. He was not sure whether to go or not, but as long as Xie Yanyan wanted to go, he would accompany her to protect her.
Xie Yanyan nodded and said, "You're welcome then."
"You are welcome."
Keyue Inn, Hanlong Trading Company, Wanghai Pavilion, and those brothels are all on the same street, which is the most lively and prosperous place.
The road is not far, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there.
Go up to the third floor, the No. 1 room has been opened. You can see the moon through the window and have a unique view of the whole city.
The waiter brought the tea respectfully and stood at the door with utmost respect.
Chu Xi looked at him and said calmly, "I'm talking to Miss Xie and Mr. Xu, please step aside."
Qingshan immediately said politely to the waiter: "I'll call you if there's anything."
The waiter left with many thanks.
"How many days have you been in Boluo County?"
"It's 10 days including today."
"Are you used to it? Have you ever been embarrassed?"
Xie Yanyan did not hide it either, because Chu Xiwang's information system was so powerful that she felt she could not hide it even if she wanted to.
"When I first went there, Zhuang Yiji and his son wanted to control me and wanted to send me directly to the Nanzhong Palace to be a servant."
"Nanzhong Palace? Why?"
When Chu Xiwang said this, his voice was calm, but Qingshan's heart tightened. He didn't say anything, feeling a little uncomfortable.
[When Princess Xiyue and Miss Xie were arguing, His Majesty was fighting on the battlefield, so he naturally didn't know about the dispute between Princess Xiyue and Miss Xie.]
[Qinghe didn't say anything because he didn't want His Majesty to be troubled again]
[Now that Qinghe is dead, let’s not talk about the past.]
His Majesty?
Chu Xiwang is His Majesty?
Your Majesty, which country are you from?
Xie Yanyan quickly searched for the rulers of the sixteen countries, but there was no one named Chu Xiwang.
Then it must be the ruler of one of the more than 30 small countries.
This person finally went to fight for the world.
Xie Yanyan immediately became alert. Is today's meal delicious?
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he forgot to answer Chu Xiwang's question.
Xu Wenrong answered for Xie Yanyan: "My sister accidentally offended Princess Xiyue in Chencheng. It just so happened that the magistrate of Boluo County, Zhuang Yiji, was the father-in-law of the Prince of Nanzhong, and Zhuang Tao was the eldest brother-in-law of the Prince, so he specifically sent my sister to the Prince of Nanzhong's mansion."
Chu Xiwang was silent for a while, then said to Qingshan: "Qingshan, why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Second Master is too busy, maybe the people below forgot about it."
Chu Xiwang didn't blame him, and asked Xie Yanyan again: "Who is in charge of Boluo County now? Is it good for you?"
"Zhuang Yiji died, and the military governor of Dongguan County took over Boluo County. Our family was assigned to the military reclamation camp."
Xie Yanyan told Chu Xiwang that because his sister-in-law was still in confinement, his nephews and nieces were young, and his younger brother was also young, the family had contracted some land.
She told Chu Xiwang all the details. She knew Chu Xiwang's abilities, so even if she didn't tell him, Chu Xiwang would be able to find out.
"16 dan of grain for 10 mu of land is too much." Chu Xiwang said calmly, "The environment over there is bad, and it's hard to produce 1 dan of grain per mu."
"It's okay, let's protect our family first. If that doesn't work, we can make soap and ice." Xie Yanyan said easily.
Chu Xiwang poured her some tea and said, "Emperor Xuanwen has woken up, and the court has been thrown into some chaos by Prince Xi. I'm afraid he won't remember your pardon for a while."
"I'm not in a hurry. Your Majesty will remember it eventually." Xie Yanyan said, "Brother Chu, can you tell me about the current situation in the world?"
She hadn't heard from him in a while.
"Former Qin and Western Yan went to war. The prince had no chance of winning on the border, but Western Yan was ambushed by the prince of Nanhai, who took away all its food and supplies. The Former Qin prince turned defeat into victory."
Xie Yanyan thought to herself, this is what I did!
"Chen Jingyao was originally sent by King Xi to the fiefdom of King Nanhai to capture him, but unexpectedly, the food and fodder disappeared along the river, and Chen Jingyao joined the rebel army in the uprising."
"The second son, Wei Bufan, was sent to replace Chen Jingyao to destroy the King of Nanhai. He was destroyed by the King of Nanhai in one fell swoop and led his troops to Beijing to defend the king."
Zhou Xiaocheng led his troops into the capital and worked together with the Embroidered Uniform Guard to defeat Prince Xi's forces and rescue Emperor Xuanwen. Only then did they discover that Emperor Xuanwen was not actually poisoned.
Xie Yanyan was surprised: "Your Majesty is not poisoned?"
"No!"
