Lu Anyuan was even more delighted when he came back. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a golden beaded hair crown on his head, which made him look even brighter and more radiant.
"Madam!" Lu Anyuan called out in a rather restrained voice through the curtain, but Xu Yixing could still hear the excitement in his voice.
"Oh, the young king is back!" Xu Yixing didn't want to spoil his fun, so he happily stuck his head out and looked at his new clothes carefully.
"What's the use of being a ruler or not? We in Daxia are not going to imitate those barbaric and small countries that dare to call themselves a country with such a small place."
"Haha, you are now a dragon among men, soaring high in the sky, so naturally you look down on those small places."
Lu Anyuan stepped onto the bed, hugged Xu Yixing tightly, and rubbed her head against his chest, as if this could make the two of them one.
"Yixing, I finally did it. It's worth all the suffering you've endured with me over the years."
"It's okay. I haven't suffered any injustice following you. Don't think too much."
Lu Anyuan said nothing, only placing delicate kisses on her forehead. Finally, this day had finally arrived! Ever since he decided to fight for the throne, he had been determined to fight to the death. Back then, he was not in an advantageous position, but over the years, he had gradually grown stronger and finally made it to this day.
He always believed that Yixing was the best gift the Bodhisattva had bestowed upon him. Otherwise, how could he explain her resurrection from the dead? The Bodhisattva must have felt his sincerity and sent her back to him, making her his wife. This was all God's will!
"Yixing, wait... After we enter the palace, if you feel bored, you can go out of the palace to play from time to time, okay? I think if there is a chance to go on an inspection or something, I will definitely take you with me. Otherwise, it will be too boring for you to stay in Beijing all these years." Fortunately, Lu Anyuan did not get too carried away and did not say "wait until the emperor dies", otherwise he would not know how long he could sit on the throne of the prince.
"All good." Xu Yixing's eyes were slightly blank. If she told him that she really wanted to go out but without him, she would be strangled to death. . . Thinking of this, she actually felt the force on her body increase a little. "You, you let me go first, I'm going to be suffocated to death!"
"Oh, oh oh!" Lu Anyuan was a little carried away. Just imagining the beautiful future made him feel warm in his heart. This was great.
"Then after you enter the palace, you will still have to choose a concubine. Those concubines will definitely surround you. How can you have the time to think about our oath?" Xu Yixing teased him deliberately, and also wanted to hear his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Lu Anyuan was quite disdainful: "Only puppet monarchs and incompetent people will be manipulated by those people. If I ascend the throne, there will be only you, and there will never be other concubines."
Xu Yixing was surprised. Although she had imagined that there might be such a perfect ending, but... since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, it has never been heard that an emperor had only one person by his side. It was too absurd to expect this, and Xu Yixing didn't want to think about it.
"Okay, okay, then I'll take what you said as the truth. I want to see if you can still be as confident as you are today when all the beauties in the world are presented to you."
"You, I've already told you that you don't need to listen to what I say, just look at what I do."
Xu Yixing felt a pang in his heart and quickly concealed it. The two of them talked for a while with a smile before falling asleep.
By February, Xu Yixing was sorting through her account books and banknotes at home every day, already planning her departure. She figured that if she was leaving, she should take enough banknotes with her. Otherwise, if she ran out of money along the way, she wouldn't be able to go back to the merchant house to exchange it for cash.
There is no need to take these shops and staff with him. Lu Anyuan won't be able to find him anyway, so he will definitely keep an eye on these shops and will probably take them over himself later. As for the maids in the mansion, I don't think Lu Anyuan will make things too difficult for them.
The only problem was the shadow guards. Xu Yixing wanted to take them all with him, but such a large group of people would be too conspicuous. Moreover, Lu Anyuan knew that he had shadow guards and would definitely pay close attention to them. If they were caught, he would be furious and probably would not be as merciful as he was to his servants.
But if we let them disperse on their own… Not to mention the impact this group of highly skilled martial artists would have on the people if they dispersed, just consider their identities. Without household registration, they would be considered illegal residents wherever they went. We couldn't let them resort to robbing houses. We had to come up with a foolproof solution.
"Xiao Wuzi, come in!" Xu Yixing called out loudly to Ying Wu.
"What do you want, madam?"
"There are quite a lot of things to say. Please write them down carefully."
Seeing that she was so serious, Ying Wu naturally took it seriously. He even took out a piece of silk from his bosom and took notes with a pen.
"Except for you and Yingjiu who are still staying by my side, of the remaining six, send one person to protect Chao Jianyi. In case... in case something happens, we must find a way to save his life. Send two more people to Qinan and Qibei. I thought I might go there in a while and ask someone to keep an eye on it in advance to see if there is any unusual movement. In addition, I plan to expand my shop to the East China Sea. I heard that there are many foreigners there, and they are all very rich and don't mind the price of things. Ask Yingyi to go and scout the market for me to see if that is the case.
Besides, didn't Ying Si always want to compete with Mr. Yao in the past, but I stopped him? Now that everything is peaceful, let him go ahead and compete. It would be best if he can learn all of Mr. Yao's skills. And..." Xu Yixing suddenly stumbled. She realized that she seemed to have only so many tasks to assign him. What should she do with the remaining one?
"Ever since I handed over my sword, I haven't had any weapons to show for myself. Send someone to look around. If they find any good swords or knives, send them back immediately, regardless of the price."
"Uh..." Ying Wu wrote a bunch of secret codes and small words on the silk. After listening to them, he felt a little puzzled. Master went to so much trouble just to arrange these useless things? But then he thought, Master is now doing something that will kill people. Could these measures to disperse people be to facilitate escape in the future?
As expected of a master! If I go to the East China Sea to deal with foreigners, I'm afraid I'll have to flee on a ship later, right? Oh my, I'm thinking too far ahead, so safe!
"What's the problem?"
"No, I'll remember that. I'll go and have everyone do it right away."
"I've made it clear to everyone. There's no need to rush this matter. Those who go out should wait for my orders before returning. If there are no instructions, don't come back. Bring more silver with you, as it might take a long time."
Xu Yixing felt that his reminder was quite appropriate. He was going there with the intention of never coming back. They should understand, right?
Unexpectedly, Ying Wu smiled knowingly. "I understand!" Regarding the scourge of exterminating nine clans, naturally, we have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne and pacifies everything before summoning these people back. So, we must bring more silver.
