38. The thirty-eighth step of the minister

As early as when the army returned, Qin Yuyi went to see Emperor Huiming with General Weng, and also submitted his hope to learn martial arts behind General Weng, and Emperor Huiming had already responded.

So this time, at the court meeting, Qin Yuyi made this request, and Emperor Huiming made an order with a smile and approved it.

Qin Yuyi didn't have any other requests, since he had received the will of Emperor Huiming, he stood aside in a low-key manner, and he didn't speak again in the entire court. Although others know that he, the eighth prince, is not as wasteful as he imagined, he doesn't seem to have much interest in political affairs, just look at him and go straight to General Weng after the court meeting.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Qin Yuyi from a distance, and then followed a few adults with him to the household department. Because of this dispatch of troops, the household department is hemorrhaging, and a lot of things and money in the treasury have been used, but fortunately, the new batch of taxes will be paid, and the treasury will soon be abundant. In addition, there are gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass and horses seized from King Beixian, so Xiao Qiao still can't be idle recently.

Because Hu Li still stayed with Grandpa Hu, Xiao Qiao was not in a hurry to go back at night, and after the other adults in the household department had already left, Xiao Qiao raised his head and stretched out his arms to prepare to go back.

"Young Master, you can come out." As soon as Shuzhu saw Xiao Qiao coming out of the palace gate, he trotted over and said in a low voice, "Young Master, Li, Liu Li is here." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows, Li Huai was sent out not long ago, why did he come back so soon.

"He said he had something urgent to tell you personally, and he hoped you could go back quickly." Shuzhu knew that Li Huai was sent out by the eldest young master of his family to help Xia Ling secretly develop in the name of the new force, and he could bring enough money and news to the eldest young master.

Xiao Qiao nodded and stepped into the carriage, "Go home." ”

Li Huai sat quietly in his seat, Qiu Xi poured him tea on the side, and stood quietly behind him with his head hanging down and counting bricks.

After he came out of Xia Ling's hands, in the name of the dark force in Xia Ling's current hands, the Hanshan Pavilion, when he was developing merchants and restaurants everywhere, he happened to hear the unintentional gossip of a caravan brought from the cold land of the Northeast.

There was a mountain in the place where they came, and it looked like an ordinary mountain from a distance, and the only thing that worried the nearby villages was that there was a valley not far from the mountain, and there was no grass in the valley, and no animals ever stayed there, and it was always called a barren valley by the locals.

He didn't take it seriously, although this kind of place is rare, but it is not impossible, there are indeed some places that will have different strange landforms for various reasons, just like the mountain not far from the Cold Mountain Pavilion, which is a completely poisonous mountain.

But then he heard a young merchant in the caravan say something that made him wonder.

"But next to our valley is a coal mountain, but it's a little small, and it's been mined."

Next to it is a coal mountain, and the valley has no grass, so I can't say that the valley is also a coal mountain, but no one has found it.

He took a dozen men and pretended to be traveling from north to south, and went to the valley, where the original coal miners had dug up, but nothing had been dug up. But not far from the valley he found a hidden valley, which was connected by a long and narrow passage, and at the end of the passage was a huge stone gate.

It took them today's effort to finally open the stone gate, only to find that it was a huge grotto, and there was a lot of poison in the grotto, and even if a dozen of them reacted quickly, half of them still died there.

But he found that one of the huge spiders had a small golden leaf on its body. After they killed the spider, they took the gold leaf, and to his ecstasy, the words engraved on the gold leaf were the name of the previous dynasty - Xiang.

After the group left there quietly, he hurried back to the imperial city, and now he was relieved.

"Young Master, you're back."

Qiu Xi's greeting made Li Huai suddenly come back to his senses, and he got up from his chair and half-knelt on the ground, "I've seen the master." ”

"Get up, why are you in such a hurry to come back, what's going on?" Xiao Qiao took off his official hat and put it aside. Li Huai's eyes swept over Qiu Xi and Shuzhu, Xiao Qiao understood, and waved his hand to the two, "You guys go out first." ”

"Yes, young master."

After Shuzhu and Qiuxi went out, they closed the door. Li Huai got up from the ground, took out the gold leaf in the sturdy inner bag sewn in the underwear in his arms, and handed it to Xiao Qiao, "Young Master, just take a look." ”

"This is, a relic of the previous dynasty?" Xiao Qiao naturally recognized the "item", and he knew better than anyone that the previous dynasty had indeed hidden a batch of belongings. In his previous life, after he got the news, he searched for several years, but he couldn't find it until he died.

"Yes, my subordinates overheard the conversation of a group of merchants, and I wanted to go to that place to find out if there was a coal mine, but I didn't expect to find this." Li Huai explained in detail how he discovered that place, Xiao Qiao narrowed his eyes, "Don't make a public announcement of this matter first, you go and tell Xia Ling, this matter is arranged more securely, and the things will be transferred to the Hanshan Pavilion." ”

"Yes, it's just that there are too many poisons there, and a lot of manpower will be lost when the time comes." Li Huai was apprehensive about the extraordinarily large and poisonous poisons that grew there.

Xiao Qiao narrowed his eyes, took out a small bottle of medicinal powder from the cabinet in the inner room and handed it to him, "The medicinal powder to repel the poison, if you sprinkle the medicinal powder in that grotto, you will definitely not be able to leave a single poison." ”

"Yes." Li Huai put away the powder and withdrew.

"Shuzhu, prepare the horse."

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Qiao changed into civilian clothes and rode to Hu Li's place, and when he didn't enter the door, he heard Hu Li's screams inside, mixed with the voices of Xiong Ming and Lang Jun persuading Grandpa Hu.

"Young Master, this ......" Shuzhu listened to Hu Li's screams, and the whole person trembled, I didn't expect Old Man Hu to be so cruel to the little boy!

Looking at the neighbors around him who opened the door and probed their brains to see this way, Xiao Qiao sighed helplessly. Dismounted, knocked on the door, and without waiting for the people inside to open the door, he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, a small snow-colored fox pounced on him, his small body drilled in, four big tails that were originally furry, and his soft hair was all blown up at the moment, and he kept complaining to Xiao Qiao in his mouth, saying how "cruel" Grandpa Hu was to him!

"I've stabilized my cultivation, grandpa, you clearly said before, if you cultivate too fast, it's easy to have an unstable foundation, I want to combine work and rest, I want to rest." Probably Xiao Qiao came, and Hu Li's courage was also bigger, he stood on Xiao Qiao's arm, and his big tail flicked and flicked.

Xiao Qiao looked at Grandpa Hu's eyes that suddenly widened, smiled helplessly, and put Hu Li in his arms, "Grandpa, don't be angry, let's sit down and talk." ”

Grandpa Hu flicked his sleeves and snorted, "Get over here!" ”

Xiao Qiao lowered his head and pinched Hu Li's big tail, pinched his soft ears, and said in a low voice: "What is this going to cultivate, how did you make such a fuss?" ”

Hu Li curled up in Hu Li's arms, and his thin voice also snorted, "Grandpa said that I am too weak, I need to repair more, and it is best to grow a fifth tail." But my new tail has only grown for more than a year, how can I grow a new tail again! ”

Hu Li's face was puffed out, and the fox's somewhat pointed face was puffed up by him. Xiao Qiao's hand that was originally pinching his ear paused, and casually teased his tail again, "For more than a year, why don't I know when you grew your tail?" ”

Hu Li was pinched by Xiao Qiao, and his hair exploded, "Brother Xiao, don't pinch me." It was when I was pushed into the lake that I had a new tail when I got a fever, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten sick, I'm a fairy. ”

Xiao Qiao nodded, it turned out that he was having a long tail at the time, and he had already lifted the quilt to see what his long tail looked like.

However, at that time, he didn't have much affection for Hu Li, and he was afraid that when he lifted the quilt and saw his long tail, his first reaction was to destroy things that might endanger him, and then he was afraid that this cute little fox would not be able to jump around like he is now.

"Still muttering something, come here." Grandpa Hu sat on the stone bench and watched Xiao Qiao standing there with Hu Li in his arms, and suddenly snorted coldly.

Xiao Qiao walked to the stone table with Hu Li in his arms and sat down, put Hu Li on the stone table, and pinched Hu Li's tail in his hand, "Grandpa, I hope to take Hu Li out." ”

Grandpa Hu glanced up at him, "Where are you going?" ”

"Someone under my command found the relics of the previous dynasty, I was about to go to see it, Xiaoli didn't go out much, so I took him with me!" Xiao Qiao's hand pinching Hu Li's tail finally let go of his tail and attacked his neck instead.

Hu Li lay on the stone table, stretched his waist on four legs, and didn't forget to say, "What is a relic of the previous dynasty, Brother Xiao?" ”

"When the previous dynasty fell, a batch of belongings was transported out of the imperial city and hidden." Xiao Qiao said and took out the gold leaf with the word "Xiang" on it and put it on the stone table, and clicked on the word "Xiang", "This is the country name of the previous dynasty." ”

Grandpa Hu picked up the golden leaf and looked at it, then put it down, "That's it, anyway, he doesn't like to cultivate all day long, so take him with him." It just so happens that I am also going to take Xiong Ming and Lang Jun away, and the matter of Hu Li will be handed over to you. You should not slack off on your cultivation method before, you must know that Hu Li's life is very long. ”

Xiao Qiao nodded seriously, he also knew that Hu Li was a demon immortal and had an extremely long life. Although Grandpa Hu has always said that Hu Li is stupid, Lang Jun once said that Hu Li's talent is extremely high, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate the four tails before adulthood when the aura is insufficient.

So he really has to cultivate hard! It seems that he has to speed up the pace, the sooner the Eighth Prince ascends to the throne, the sooner he will be able to understand his obsession and cultivate wholeheartedly.

Soon after Xiao Qiao left with Hu Li and returned to Xiao Mansion, Grandpa Hu took Xiong Ming and Lang Jun and flew away in the demon wind.

Xiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, pressed Hu Li, who had turned into a human form, on the soft couch, and glared at him.

Xiao Qiao's hand swept under Hu Li's body vaguely, and there was no response. Although Hu Li was ignorant before, he still reacted every time, even if he didn't really do anything to Hu Li, it was better than not responding now, no matter how much he bothered to provoke/tease!

Xiao Qiao sighed in his heart, and turned over to let Hu Li, who was still dizzy, lie on his chest, it seems that he is really going to be a vegetarian!

I don't know when the meat will be opened, it's a long night! That's it, for the sake of this little fox, let's go vegetarian!
