"How dare you ask?" Zheng Qi said angrily, "We haven't been back for so many days, and you didn't even ask or look for us?"
"How would I know what you did? You didn't leave a single word. I wanted to contact you, but who should I tell?"
Zheng Qi waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Don't try to quibble, you little brat. When we return to the capital, I will tell you about your great achievements in front of your father, Marquis Jian'an."
At this moment, the messenger came to report: "Sir, Lord Xu sent by the Emperor has arrived."
Zheng Qi glared at Xu Zimo and walked straight out.
Xu Yuan is an extremely straightforward person, and he has always looked down upon sinister villains like Zheng Qi.
Therefore, when Zheng Qi came to greet him outside the inn, he just nodded lightly and walked to Xu Zimo.
"What have you been doing during this time?"
"Uncle." As arrogant as Xu Zimo had been in front of Zheng Qi before, he was now as humble as before.
"Uncle, how about we go in first?"
Xu Yuan glared at him and walked straight into the inn.
Zheng Qi was left hanging there, his face turning purple.
This Zheng Yuan actually dared to disrespect me! I will definitely take revenge for embarrassing myself in front of so many people.
"I heard that you haven't even seen He Jingheng yet." Xu Yuan sat on the chair and said lightly: "Time is tight, I will go to see you directly today!"
How could Xu Zimo dare to say no? You have to nod in response.
Zheng Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this.
It’s not that easy to get into the village. He went there several times but was blocked by the tiger each time. Why did the tiger stop blocking his way after Xu Yuan came?
When we arrived at the village, the tiger was still there.
Zheng Qi looked at him with a gloating look on his face: "Master Xu, would you like to try it for a while?"
Xu Zimo couldn't help feeling guilty when he looked at the two tigers. Sure enough, when the two tigers saw Zheng Qi and Xu Zimo, they stood up from their saddles, showing their sharp fangs, with cruelty in their eyes.
Zheng Qi stepped back and swallowed, "Well, I'd better not go over there."
Xu Yuan muttered to himself and stepped forward hesitantly. When the two tigers saw him, their originally ferocious looks subsided. Everyone stared at him in horror, and when they smelled him, their ferocious looks instantly disappeared.
놙See them take a few steps back and then lie back down in their own positions.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, what is going on?
Those two tigers were about to attack and hurt people, so why did they behave so obediently when they saw Lord Xu?
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered. It seemed that it smelled the scent of the liquid he had applied on his body.
When they were halfway through the journey that day, a guard beside He Jingheng came up to 놛 and handed 놛 a porcelain bottle. The guard said that if he poured the medicine in the bottle on 놛, he could enter the village.
At first I felt a little confused, but now I understand that this potion is for the tiger at the door to smell.
Zheng Qi's face turned pale. Are these two tigers bullying people? Why would I get bitten just because I come here?
"Let's go!" Xu Yuan looked at Zheng Qi: "Master Zheng, let's go together!" He pointed at the tigers on both sides: "How can it be as difficult to enter as Master Zheng said? This is the first time I come here and the first time I see these tigers. They are not as violent as you said."
Zheng Qi's face trembled, and he slowly walked through the village under the protection of the officials. One of the tigers looked at Zheng Qi and suddenly growled, which scared Zheng Qi so much that he peed his pants.
"roar!"
For some reason, people could see gloating on its face.
How could a tiger have such evil thoughts?
Xu Zimo walked last. When it was his turn to pass, the two tigers stood up instantly and pounced on him without saying a word.
"Here it comes again!" He quickly used Qinggong to dodge, and he didn't want to be as embarrassed as last time.
Just at this moment, a clear sound was heard, like the cry of a bird. The two tigers stopped moving instantly, glared at Xu Zimo, and returned to their positions and lay down.
Xu Zimo panted, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan took a glance and walked straight inside.
Walking inside from the village, we couldn't help but be stunned when we saw the scene of Wanya Village. Is this still the barren land it used to be?
The people's miserable lives and starving people everywhere that I thought existed did not exist at all.
It was time to cook dinner. Steam was coming out of every chimney and the aroma of rice could be smelled. Some chimneys even smelled like meat.
Zheng Qi had never been to the village before, and had no idea what the scene would be like. He murmured, "Is this the Ya Village? The Exile Village?"
Xu Yuan's eyes deepened slightly. This place was actually better than the villages around the capital.
I have passed by so many places along the way, but this place is the most peaceful and tranquil.
After walking for a while, a building no less magnificent than a royal palace appeared before everyone.
When they walked to the gate, the two big characters "He Mansion" appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, Yunqi stepped forward and said, "Master Xu, our master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Yuan nodded: "Lead the way."
Just as everyone was about to follow him in, they heard Yunqi whisper, "My master is not feeling well today and is not seeing any outside visitors. Please wait in the side hall."
"A side hall? How dare they ask me to go to a side hall?" Zheng Qi said angrily, "I am a second-rank minister of the imperial court. How dare He Jingheng ask me to go to a side hall?"
As soon as the words fell, a clear female voice came out: "Xiao Bai, take Lord Zheng to the side hall and wait."
“Hmph! No matter who comes, you can’t let me go astray…” Before he could finish his words, a huge white figure appeared in front of him.
Xiaobai looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes, with his tiger face drooping.
Why is there a white tiger here?
Zheng Qi swallowed his tears and hid behind the guards. He looked at Yun Qi tremblingly: "Where is the film stopping? Why don't you take me over there quickly?"
Yunqi suppressed a smile and said, "Master Zheng, please."
Zheng Qi collapsed on the bed before he could even move a step, and was finally carried inside by several guards.
Xu Yuan came to the living room and looked at the familiar display. He couldn't help but smile: "This old minister greets the prince."
He Jingheng stood up and returned the greeting: "Master Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Yuan's eyes fell on the woman next to him.
"Is this the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"Junior greets Master Xu."
"I didn't expect that old man Shangnian could give birth to a daughter like you." Xu Yuan recognized Shang Ruoyi as the one who had just commanded the white tiger. He looked at He Jingheng and said, "Back then, when the concubine was replaced with the legitimate heir, I, an old minister, advised against it. Fortunately, it was rejected. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."
Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing. The old man Shangnian could never give birth to a daughter like her.
"Master Xu, did you bring the imperial edict with you today?"
"That's right." He said in a low voice, "The emperor has issued a death order to this old minister. This time, we must bring everyone in Dingguo Palace back to the capital."
