Chapter 2 Chapter Twenty-Nine

In mid-September of the seventeenth year of Renji, Feng Wang Xiyun began to inspect the cities of Fengguo. In this inspection, apart from the proper guards of honor, internal servants, and court ladies, the only ministers accompanying him were Dazai Feng Jing, Tailu Zhouji, and imperial guards. Commander Xie Su, General Fengyun Qi Shu, plus 500 guards, compared with the tens of thousands of people when Feng Wang was traveling before, this can be said to be "easy and simple". It is said that the queen is on tour, and the people of Fengguo are all looking forward to it. They want to see with their own eyes the queen who is famous in the six kingdoms and who has been guarding the country for more than ten years. They want to personally express their loyalty to their young and wise queen. and love.

Zhuancheng, this is the first stop of the queen's tour. When the chariot approached from a distance, tens of thousands of people lined the road to meet them held their breath and waited for the arrival of their king. It's getting closer, the king's chariot pulled by eight pure black horses is finally approaching, with purple gold as the roof, white jade as the wall, silk curtains flying, surrounded by bead curtains, you can vaguely see a person sitting in the chariot, although you can't see his face clearly , but the dignified and elegant demeanor has made people admire. Or because there were too many people on the side of the road, the king's chariot just drove slowly, and the guards supported him.

"king!" "king!" "king!" "king!" ... I don't know who opened his mouth to call out, and in an instant, many voices followed, calling their king unanimously. Although they didn't say it clearly, the wish was the same. I only hope that the king in the car can show his beautiful face, so that They see it once in a lifetime. Finally, the bead curtain that was densely woven like rain was raised by a pair of slender hands as white as jade, revealing the dignified queen in the seat, so noble, so beautiful, and so amiable... that clear and handsome With an elegant and bright smile on her face, she gently nodded to the people on both sides of the road. Those bright eyes looked at everyone softly and were shot by her eyes. At that moment, everyone felt that the king Greeting him, greeting him!

"Long live the queen! Long live the queen! Long live the queen!" The heaven-shattering cheers suddenly sounded in unison, straight into the sky, and lasted for a long time, while on the ground, all the people fell and prostrated themselves on the ground, paying their highest respect to their king. "You are not such a ostentatious person, why is this tour so grand?" Jiuwei once asked on the tower of Zhuan City. "How do you feel the people of Feng Country treat me?" Xi Yun just smiled slightly when she heard the words, looking down at the thousands of subjects under the city.

"Respect, love, obedience!" Jiuwei concluded based on what he had seen and heard these days. "This is what I want." Xiyun stretched out her hand and waved it to the subjects below the city, cheering instantly, "What I want is unity of all people!" "Conquer all people's hearts..." Jiu Wei's eyes shifted from the people in the city to Xi Yun, seeing the noble and graceful king in front of him, but also the beauty of a woman, he suddenly understood what she meant. For example, "In your name, in your power, in your face... how can they resist! Are you doing this... are you preparing?"

"That day will start soon, I want them to hug me, so I can protect them!" Compared with the eager joy of the common people, the officials of each city are happy and sad. They don't know why this "frail and sickly" queen who has been "resting" in Qianbi Mountain has just ascended the throne, but she is so familiar with national conditions and political affairs. The officials of the various cities dare not say everything about the geography, personnel, and various industries of the areas under their jurisdiction. If they look through the literature, they may know a general idea, but this queen came here just by opening her mouth. , financial revenue and expenditure, etc., she can speak well.

As for the achievements of officials in various places, she also knows very clearly. When the Queen sits in the hall, inspecting the big and small affairs of the city, and commenting on the merits and demerits of officials, there will always be some people who are willing to sweat their brains, while others will sweat profusely.They don't understand how the queen can know some things that they have forgotten, and some people that they have forgotten, but the queen can tell in detail about their lives. As a result, the queen inspected the past all the way, and officials in each city would be promoted or dismissed, and the outdated system would be abolished, and innovations would be implemented.And in the same way, the people of all cities always applaud the queen's every move. They never imagined that the queen who lives deep in the palace seems to have clairvoyant eyes. Know all of them? !Moreover, standing on the side of the people without reservation, avenging their grievances and eliminating their harm, is so wise, sensible, and just!Everything you do is convincing, and there is no second opinion!

In mid-December, the queen finally ended her inspection tour, bringing back the heartfelt love and affection of all the people in Fengguo back to Fengdu. "The sun is clearly out, why is it still so cold?!" In front of Yusheng Palace, Jiu Wei carried the food box, looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and murmured, holding the food box in his arms and covering it with his sleeves to avoid freezing. "What are these?" Pushing open the door of the study, she saw Xi Yun staring blankly at the pile of things on the table. "Jiu Wei." Xi Yun looked up at Jiu Wei, smiled slightly, and turned her eyes back to the table, "These are some very precious things."

"Oh?" Jiu Wei put the food box on the table, and glanced at the things on the table, but they were not precious things. They were copper or iron, wood or silk, cast or carved, painted or written. , all kinds of strange shapes and patterns are always spread on the table, but compared to the gold and jade treasures that can be seen everywhere in the palace, these are really just broken copper and iron. "These were all given to Bai Fengxi by my friends in the Jianghu." Xiyun stretched out her hand and picked up a bronze medal with a long tooth engraved on it, "This bronze tooth plaque was given to me by the head of the Qi family when I rescued the third young master of the Qi family. .”

"The legendary third young master Qi who will never grow up and never grow old? That is the most important treasure of the Qi family!" Jiu Wei retracted his hands into his sleeves, and then took the bronze medal through the thick sleeves , "The things in their house are all ghostly, and ordinary people can't touch them. Huh? This is the head of the family with long teeth. With this tooth card, you are the only one in the Yinyang Qi family. It's rare!" "Although the Qi family is very cold, they are the most gracious and honorable." Xi Yun said lightly.

"Yo...it's too cold, I'll give it back to you." With a shake of his hands, Jiu Wei hastily returned the copper tooth plate to Xi Yun, "Not only are the people in their house cold, but everything from their house is also cold! Just like this copper tooth, Colder than the ice in this December day!" "Is it so exaggerated?" Xi Yun looked at Jiu Wei's movements of constantly rubbing his hands with amused expression. "I'm no better than you. I have inner strength to protect my body." Jiu Wei looked at Xi Yun's light clothes, and then at his bloated body, "I should have known that I should also practice martial arts, so I can avoid the heat and cold." "Heh..." Xiyun smiled lightly, "You think martial arts is easy." "I know it's not easy." Jiu Wei nodded, while taking out the steaming noodles in the food box, "That's why I didn't learn, it's easier to cook, come and eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold later. " "Do you only eat noodles today?" Xiyun sat down. "This noodles took me a lot of time." Jiu Wei sat down opposite Xi Yun, playing with the things on the table, "Taste it first." "Hmm... so fragrant and smooth!" Xi Yun couldn't help praising after taking a bite, "This soup seems to be bone broth, but it's more fragrant than bone broth. What did you use to make it?" "This soup, it should be called bone marrow soup. I made this bowl of soup after three hours of cooking with short ribs. I added a little bird's nest and shiitake mushrooms and boiled it. The taste is almost the same. Unfortunately, it is winter now. If it is summer, Use lotus root dumpling pork ribs to make hot noodles, it will be more fragrant and sweet." Jiu Wei flipped through the things on the table, "Tie Feiyan from Xizhou Yijia, Mu Taohua from Taoluo Daxia Nanzhao, Meixinyu from Plum Blossom Heroine The Plum Blossom Rain, the Heavenly Book Order of the Sifang Scholar Yu Fangyan...these seemingly worthless things are hard to come by...what are you doing with them?" Xiyun swallowed the last mouthful of soup before pushing away the bowl, resting her chin on the table, looking at the tokens on the table, "Because I need them." Jiu Wei couldn't help but pause when he heard the hand playing with the keepsake, fixed his eyes on Xi Yun, and said after a while: "Don't you want them to help you win the world? With their prestige in the martial arts, they can indeed summon countless people for you. Few capable people!" "No." Xiyun shook her head, and stretched out her hand to pick up the peach blossom, "I won't drag them down on that battlefield, but...you can see that since I succeeded to the throne, I have dismissed many old officials and appointed those They are new ministers who are penniless, how can those people be willing to submit, they are naturally resentful!" "You want to use force to control them?" Jiu Wei picked up the iron swallow and asked while touching the sharp beak. "I'm not afraid that they will hold resentment towards me." With a wave of Xiyun's hand, the peach blossom shot straight away, and it slammed into the window edge firmly with a ding sound, "But the current situation, I don't know when, I will go out to fight ...those villains are hard to guard against!" "Are you worried that they will take the opportunity to make trouble after you leave?" Jiuwei glanced at the tokens on the table, as if looking for someone to cast their eyes on. "I have eradicated so many cancers, and the reason is that when I go to war, Fengguo will be peaceful, so that I don't have to worry about it, and I will not allow anyone to destroy the new situation that has just unfolded!" Xiyun raised her hand, The white silk in the sleeve flew out and hit the window edge directly, and the wood peach blossom in the window edge popped out, and flew back, she opened her hand, and the wood peach blossom fell firmly on the palm, "So I have to ask someone to watch it!" They, they will never be allowed to mess with our country!" "Those people, it's inconvenient for me to send someone to watch over them, and even if there are palace guards, they may not be the opponents of those cunning people, but these martial arts masters, with their ability, they can secretly monitor everything without showing up. If there are people who act recklessly, let them do it, it must be clean and neat!" Xi Yun took her hand, and Bai Ling flew back into her sleeve, her expression and tone were as sharp as she was at the moment. Jiuwei looked at her, and for a long time looked at her with a judgmental gaze, before sighing after a long while: "Xi'er, you are actually a very qualified king!" Hearing this, Xi Yun glanced at Jiu Wei, then moved her eyes to the peach blossom in the palm of her hand, and said with a faint smile, "It's very scheming, isn't it?" Jiu Wei was speechless, and after a while he said: "Speaking of which, these ten years of life in the Jianghu have given you a lot, not only familiar with the geography and human relations of various countries, but also let you be famous far and wide, and make friends with a lot of heroes. When the flag is raised, many people will follow." "Jiuwei, you're not happy." Xiyun looked into Jiuwei's eyes, then looked down at the pile of tokens on the table, smiled softly, but felt a little helpless, "I knew it when I was very young." , I will inherit the throne in the future, I will be the king of Fengguo, because my brother... I told my brother when I was five years old, I will be the king in the future, so that my brother can draw and sing all his life... So how can I To be a qualified king, I have learned it since I was a child. I am no stranger to the way of kingship, and I can use all the means flexibly! It's just..." At the end of the sentence, he swallowed again, and his fingertips fiddled unconsciously. things on the desktop. Hearing such words, looking at her seemingly indifferent smile, Jiu Wei suddenly felt heavy and sore in his heart, stood up involuntarily, and unconsciously embraced Xi Yun in his arms, "Xi'er , with your ability, you are a qualified king, but with your heart, you are not suitable to be the king of a country!" Xiyun hugged Jiuwei's arm, and rested her head on it with nostalgia. At this moment, she let go of all the shackles, let go of all the burdens, and closed her eyes in Jiuwei's arms, "Jiuwei, don't you Will you leave me like Brother Yue?" "No." Jiuwei patted Xiyun's head affectionately, and looked at the tokens on the table with long eyes, "Didn't I promise to be your chef? If you are alive, I will cook for you." meal." Hearing this, Xiyun curled her lips into a shallow but sincere smile, "What about your Sunset Building?" "Give it away." Jiuwei said with a faint smile. "It's so generous." Xiyun smiled, and suddenly seemed to remember something, she looked up at Jiuwei, "I remember you said before that you took in a singer named Feng Qiwu?" "Yes, a rare beauty with both talent and color." Jiu Wei also let go of her hand and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask?" "Is she from the Feng family?" Xiyun stared at Jiuwei. Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes." "Sure enough!" Xiyun stood up abruptly, and slapped down with her palm. Just as she was about to slap on the table, she saw the table full of tokens, and withdrew her force as if awakened, but when her palm landed on the table, those tokens Then they all jumped up, some still fell on the ground, "That black fox!" "Do you need to be so excited?" Jiu Wei looked at her and shook his head, bent down to pick up the tokens that fell on the ground. "That black fox, no matter what he does, he is absolutely... hmph... that guy is always doing nothing!" Xiyun gritted her teeth and stared at the air like ice swords, as if to stab The one who made her gnash her teeth. Jiu Wei raised his head and looked at her amusedly and playfully, "He's not here, no matter how fierce you scold and how sharp your eyes are, he doesn't matter." "Ah!" Xiyun sat back in the chair, sighed with some regret, "It's a pity that Feng Meiren, but she has a deep affection for him! She is... such a clear woman... how can he be worthy of that?" A sincere heart!" "That's their business, what's your business?" Jiu Wei said calmly. Xi Yun seemed to have never heard of it, she sat quietly for a long time, suddenly raised her head to look at Jiu Wei and said: "Jiu Wei, no matter how deep the king's way is, I will never play tricks on you!" "I know." Jiu Wei smiled lightly. "And I will fulfill your wish." Xiyun said again, got up and walked to the window, opened the window, and a gust of cold air rushed in, making Jiuwei shiver involuntarily. "I will fulfill your wish, I swear by our Wind King Clan!" On February 14th, the eighteenth year of Renji, the Lord of Fengguo specially sent his younger brother, Marquis Xun'an, to Fengguo to present the "blood jade ink orchid" bestowed by the first emperor when the first generation of Fengwang got married. , Propose to Xiyun, Queen of the Feng Kingdom, for Shizi Lanxi. On February 16th, Feng Wang Xiyun agreed to the marriage, and returned the gift of "Bai Bi Xue Feng" given by the first emperor when the first generation of Feng Wang got married. In the Eastern Dynasty, the marriage of a man and a woman had to go through the five ceremonies of agreement, intimacy, ritual agreement, peace agreement, and book agreement. At the time of the agreement, the two parties agreed on the date of marriage, and then the wedding was held on the date of marriage. A marriage was considered a success. It is a marriage talk. In a pro-marriage appointment, the man and the woman send people (officials) to each other's home to propose marriage. The ceremony is a gift from the two families to each other as a token of engagement. The peace agreement is when the man and the woman meet each other at a chosen place and compose the harp and music together to establish a white-should covenant. A book contract is when the man and the woman swear in a book under the witness of their elders, relatives and friends (the emperor and the royal family must also have their subjects), make a marriage alliance, and have the same engagement date. The two countries, Feng and Feng, agreed that the ceremony of the peace treaty will be held in Fengdu, Fengguo, when the orchids bloom in April. At the end of March, other countries may have warmed up and bloomed in spring, but in Fengguo, which is located in the west, the temperature is still a bit dry and cold. When Caifu stepped into the Lanling Palace, he was greeted with bursts of fragrance.Climbing through the hundred Dan steps, bypassing the nine-curved corridor, and crossing the Lanban Hanyu Bridge, you can vaguely see Yilan Courtyard in front of you. Inhale and inhale, a wisp of orchid fragrance enters the throat like smoke, refreshing the heart and spleen for a while.The orchids in this Lanling Palace are always different from other places. The orchid fragrance is always so clear and so faint. Young master, stand on your own in the face of the wind, you are unparalleled in elegance and elegance, but you can't see what is behind that elegance, and your mind is completely intimidated by his appearance. Ren Chuanyu glanced at the pots of orchids, thinking to himself, I wonder if there is any place in the world that has more orchids than this Lanling Palace, where you can see orchids all year round, each season will be different, and the flower shape will be different , The color of the flowers is different, even the fragrance of the flowers is also different. He always wondered how these orchids were grown, and it was a miracle to see orchids in winter, but it was normal for a miracle to be applied to their young master.It is said that when the son was born, the whole country bloomed, and the whole palace was enveloped in a fragrance.Find a time to ask the young master carefully, maybe this point can be a big fuss. Walking to the front of Yilan Courtyard, the servants in the palace opened the door for him, and stepped inside, it was another world. The refreshing fragrance is like a layer of elegant and clean veil covering your body, making you feel that you are so pure and flawless for a moment, and sighing slightly as usual in the rain, every time you enter this door , he felt as if the dirt all over his body had been washed away by the orchid qi, making him feel like he was a clean and good person again, but he was not a good person. He told himself a long time ago that he should not be that miserable and hypocritical person. A gentleman, he would rather be that selfish but happy villain. As far as the eye can see, it is a sea of ​​flowers, the branches of orchids are as white as snow, clustered in clusters, and you can't see the edge. In the sea of ​​pure white flowers, there is a young man in long clothes like ink, with a beautiful face and beautiful eyes. Like lacquer, it is rich and handsome, almost suspicious of a fairy among flowers, but it loses the mistyness of a fairy, and has a more noble and graceful appearance, like a prince standing in the clouds. "Young master." Ren Chuanyu saluted respectfully. "En." Lan Xi was still hanging his head and fiddled with a snowberry, with a focused expression, as if it was his lover who was carefully cared for, so gentle and careful. Ren Chuanyu's eyes moved along his fingertips, the snowberry plant in his hand was just a flower bone, but three or two petals were sparsely spread around the periphery, and Lanxi was straightening its branches, combing its leaves, In those slender and white hands, the snow-blue plant swept away its exhaustion within a moment, and stood gracefully. "How's the matter?" Just as Ren Chuanyu was watching the young master's movements, Lan Xi suddenly spoke. "Eh? Oh... everything is ready." Ren Chuanyu came back to his senses and replied. "Really." Lan Xi responded lightly, let go of Xue Lan in her hand, and looked up at the person standing in front of her, "All of them?" "Yes." Ren Chuanyu bowed his head, "The villain has followed my son's instructions, and this time I will be able to achieve consummation!" The tongue sounded heavily on the word "consummation". "That's good." Lan Xi smiled faintly, and walked among the flowers, "How about Chuanyun?" "He has also prepared all the etiquette for welcoming the King of Wind." Ren Chuanyu followed behind him and replied. "Yeah." Lan Xi looked at all the flowers, and said casually, "These snow orchids bloom in January, and the time is just right." "When the young master gets married, the Puguolan will bloom, and the fragrance will float in the sky!" Ren Chuanyu looked up at his master, with respect in his eyes, and a smile as if some kind of plan had come true, "Because Young Master is the unique master of Lan Kingdom!" "Really?" Lan Xi smiled lightly when he heard the words, and stopped in his footsteps. In front of him was a densely wrapped silk curtain, about one meter high, shaped like a pagoda. He looked at it for a long time, and then said, "Wear the rain, You must have never seen this orchid, have you?" There was a bit of complacency and joy in those words. "Huh?" Ren Chuanyu couldn't help being curious when he heard the words, thinking that he is a frequent visitor to Yilanyuan, and he is the first to see almost every kind of new orchid cultivated by the young master. As for orchids, he is originally a A person who knows nothing can now tell you hundreds of varieties like a few treasures, what else is there that he has not seen? But when Lan Xi gently lifted the silk curtain, there was actually a crystal tower under the silk curtain, but what surprised Ren Chuanyu even more was the flower under the tower. "Sure enough...it's about to bloom." Lan Xi spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing the flowers in the tower, "What do you think of my 'Lan Yin Bi Yue'?" Ren Chuanyu looked at the crystal tower in astonishment. There was an orchid growing in the tower, to be precise, it was a budding orchid, but the most surprising thing was———— Orchids have two buds growing side by side, and even that is one black and one white!Although double flowers with parallel pedicles are rare, double flowers with different colors are even rarer!Although the flower has not yet bloomed, the petals are already faintly identifiable, like a crescent moon, under the sunlight, it emits a luster like crystal jade. "I've been trying to grow this 'Lan Yin Bi Yue' for eight years, and I finally planted one for me." Lan Xi lifted the top of the tower, touched the white jade-like flower lightly with her fingertips, and said with a smile, " She can say that she sees strange things all over the world, but my 'Lan Yin Biyue' will definitely amaze her!" That smile shocked Ren Chuanyu even more than this Bingdi Orchid!Lane?Biyue?Ren Chuanyu's eyes swept across the orchid without interest, and fell towards the black moon on Lan Xi's forehead, a sense of vigilance suddenly appeared in his heart! "This 'Lan Yu Biyue' is indeed rare in the world." Ren Chuanyu's voice was respectful and clear, "It's just that there is a kind of blue orchid growing on the top of the vast mountain, it must be wonderful in the world!" "Cang Bilan?" Lan Xi glanced at Ren Chuanyu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and her eyes fell back on the orchid, "Just listening to its name is not bad, one day, we will meet of." Stepping up to the outside of the courtyard, the wind blows the flowers like a farewell. Looking back at the sea of ​​flowers dancing in the snow, he said indifferently: "Let the Lan An Envoy help you that day, don't let those people... took my flowers." "Yes!" Ren Chuanyu lowered his head, his heart suddenly relaxed, the young master is still the same young master! At the same moment, Xi Yun was sitting on the throne in Fengguo Yusheng Palace's east study, silently looking at the two ministers standing in front of him, Dazai Feng Jing and Imperial Guard Commander Xie Su. "Master Feng, General Xie." Xi Yun's clear and steady voice finally sounded in the quiet study. "The veteran is here!" Feng Jing and Xie Suqi all bowed in response. "My king is going to leave for Feng country in a few days, so I have to entrust you two for the big and small matters in the country." Xi Yun stood up and said. "This is a matter of the minister's duty, and the minister will devote himself to it and dare not slack off!" Feng Jing and Xie Suqi knelt down to show their loyalty. "Please stand up, both of you." Xiyun walked up to the two veterans who were on the ground, "Master Feng, you are a veteran of the three dynasties, and all the subjects of the country respect you very much, so the king of the country will entrust you with all the political affairs. It’s going to take a lot of effort.” "The minister will live up to the king's entrustment!" Feng Jinggong said. "Yeah." Xi Yun nodded, her eyes slipped past the old official, "Since last year, I have instructed all newly appointed officials to ask you for advice if they have anything to do. I also have a general understanding of character and ability, so when there is something to do, just tell them to do it. First, it can cultivate talents for the country, and second, it can save you a lot of effort. It's not that this king doesn't believe in the ability of adults, but that adults are the pillars of the country. This king can't afford to lose, this country of Feng still depends on you to control the overall situation." Hearing this sentence, Feng Jing's heart felt hot, and he prostrated himself on the ground, "Please don't worry, the king, if there is an old minister, the country will be safe!" "My lord will feel relieved if you say that." Xiyun stretched out her hand to hold Feng Jing, and said with a gentle smile, "When my lord is not here, my lord should not work too hard and pay attention to my body. I also hope that the boss Humans can assist this king in his life." "Thank you, my king, for your concern! I know!" Feng Jing's tone was excited and sincere, at this moment, he was willing to call him heartbroken!Although he is a veteran of the three dynasties, the previous two generations of Feng Wang somewhat disappointed him. He thought that his life would be spent in such a mediocre way, but who knows that he gave birth to a Ming Lord in his twilight years. This... God pities him, right?Let him still display his abilities to the fullest in his lifetime, and let him die in peace at this moment! "Thank you, General." Xi Yun turned her head to look at the commander of the imperial guards who had been standing sideways. "The old minister is here!" Xie Su hurriedly bowed. "Although Fengyun's five generals are well-known, they are still young and not as experienced and courageous as you, so after this king leaves, the safety of Fengguo will be entrusted to you." Xiyun raised her hand and patted the old general's shoulder, "Fengguo You have to worry about your military affairs." "Your minister must be like Master Feng said, if the minister stays for a day, the country will be safe!" Xie Su bowed his head and said respectfully. "Okay, okay." Xiyun nodded slightly, "Five Generals of Fengyun, I will leave Qi Shu to help you. You and Mr. Feng are my twin treasures of Fengguo. I can't afford to lose this king alone, so you all have to wait for this king." return!" "I will wait for the king to return!" The two old ministers bowed down to the ground at the same time, "I also ask the king to take care of the country!" "Okay, you two gentlemen don't need to be so polite." Xiyun helped the two old ministers up again, with a friendly smile on his face, "Since the king took the throne, the ministers of the country have often said that the king is ruthless. One emperor and one courtier, but... well, it’s not worth mentioning these things, it’s just that others don’t know about my king’s difficulties, don’t you two adults also know? If this king really can’t tolerate old ministers, today he won’t be in love with his country! " "The ministers know the king's will, and the ministers will never disagree!" The two veteran ministers raised their heads at the same time, looking at their king with piercing eyes, only loyal and respectful! "Yeah." Xiyun nodded with a slight smile, and at the same time raised her arms slightly, with one object in each palm, "This king's departure may be long or short, but no matter how long it takes, these two things are the symbols of this king. See my king!" "yes!" "Go!" Xiyun waved lightly. "The minister waits to leave!" The two veterans retreated, and the room was quiet again. They looked down at the two things in their palms and sighed slightly. "Know it with reason and move it with emotion. These two old ministers are loyal to you at this time. Xi'er, you really know the way of kings!" The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Jiu Wei came out with admiration on his face. There is also a sigh. "Although these two people are old, they are very prestigious in the government and the people, and they can suppress some people." Xiyun said lightly, "Besides, they are indeed loyal to Fengguo, so why should I blame them? With some intentions, Feng Guo entrusts them in their hands, and it will definitely do what they said." "Since you are worried about them, why did you keep Qi Shu?" Jiu Wei was puzzled by her move. Xiyun looked down at the two palms, and slightly squeezed them together, "After all, they are old, and sometimes they will always have the will but powerlessness. Fengguo... is in my hands, then I will never allow it to mess up!" Jiuwei looked at her and smiled suddenly, "Xi'er, if you don't become the king, it would be a waste of your talent. No wonder, the fifth general of Fengyun only recognizes you as his master!" "They are different from other people. They have grown up with me for more than ten years. Besides being monarchs and ministers, we should still be friends and relatives!" Xiyun raised her head and smiled faintly, very "They are the same as you, they are the only ones left in this world..." His eyes suddenly drifted away again, as if thinking of something, his mind was a little dazed, "From now on, they are really the only ones left!" Jiuwei looked at her, walked over, and reached out to hold her hand, "This side is the Xuanmo Order, and the other side is the Feiyun Order, together they form the entire Feng Kingdom, and the entire kingdom is in your hands. Actually, there are many, Xi'er." "It's a lot, it's just... oh...they treat me like this, how can I let them down!" Xiyun clasped her palms together and lowered her hands behind her back, "Jiuwei, do you believe in the destiny of heaven, or do you believe in the destiny of man?" "Me..." Jiuwei narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at a certain point, as if looking at a distant void. "King, General Qi is here!" The servant's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. "Please come in." "yes." After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Qi Shu strode in. "I'm sorry to meet the king!" Qi Shu bowed respectfully on his knees. "Get up, there is no need for such a big gift, this is not in Ziying Hall." Xi Yun raised her hand. "Yes." Qi Shu stood up, looked up at Xi Yun, "What is Wang Zhaoshu doing here?" "I want to ask you, how have things been going in the past few months?" Xi Yun sat back in her seat and asked calmly. "Returning to the king, the people have responded to this conscription. The 100,000 imperial guards and 50,000 wind and cloud cavalry have all been fully equipped! Moreover, the minister has not relaxed in the past few months, and has been training recruits. I can guarantee that the 50,000 Fengyunqi is still the Fengyunqi in Wang's heart!" Qi Shu said respectfully. "That's good." Xiyun smiled slightly, "Excuse me, this time I am going to Fengguo, Xu Yuan, Lin Ji, Cheng Zhi, and Jiurong are accompanying me, and you will stay in the capital." "minister……" Qi Shu just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Xiyun waving his hand. "Excuse me, I know you want to go with me, but you can't go this time." Xiyun got up and walked in front of Qi Shu, "I am going to Fengguo this time, and I don't know when I will be able to return. Feng Jing, Xie Su and other ministers are here, but they are old after all, you must stay and help them, and you are also helping me to defend this Fengguo, your responsibility is more important than Xu Yuan and the others!" "But this time..." Qi Shu seemed to want to say something, but he was hesitant to finish speaking, his eyes looked at his king speechlessly, as if he wanted to tell her everything he thought. "Yes." Xi Yun patted Qi Shu on the shoulder, looked up into his eyes slightly, "It's just what you think, I'll go here, and I'll return in a month or two, or in a few years , I can't give you an exact answer, that's why I took the four of them together. This blood phoenix talisman was passed down from the ancestor of the Phoenix King. It was the symbol of my country's commander-in-chief since the beginning of the feudal kingdom. Keep it well, and you should respond when necessary. Know what to do!" He took out the blood-red jade talisman from his sleeve and put it in Qi Shu's palm. "Yes!" Qi Shu bowed and accepted the command. "With you in Fengguo, I can leave with peace of mind." Xiyun sighed slightly, "You have to take good care of yourself." "I know, please don't worry, the king, I will protect Fengguo and wait for the king to return!" Qi Shu bowed and held Xiyun's hands tightly, "Please also take care of the king!" "And this..." Xiyun spread her hands, revealing the Xuanmo Token and Feiyun Token in her palms, "These two things are my symbols, no matter in the future... no matter what the future is, seeing this thing is like seeing me! " "Yes!" Qi Shu bowed his head in reply. "I'm leaving at the beginning of April, you are ready to go." Xiyun waved her hand lightly. "En." Qi Shu nodded, then turned around and bowed to Jiu Wei who was standing quietly beside him, "Please take good care of the king, sir!" His tone was respectful and cautious. "Please don't worry, General, Jiu Wei will save you." Jiu Wei also bowed slightly to return the courtesy. The two looked at each other, then nodded to each other. "Excuse me." Qi Shu saluted Xiyun respectfully. "Go." Xiyun waved lightly. Seeing that tall and straight figure disappear outside the door, Jiuwei turned his head to look at Xiyun, "You have some reason to keep him." "Forgiveness is calm, if I... have him stay, I can have no worries." Xi Yun sent Qi Shu away with some sighs. Jiu Wei looked at her for a moment, then suddenly said: "I have always had a question, why is that Young Master Lan Xi not ascending the throne?" "Is he..." Xiyun said in a daze, "Maybe he is waiting for the best moment!"
