It is not so easy to open a trade route, this is not Qin Yuyi's own decision, Qin Yuyi thought about it carefully, and played a twist in the name of Xiao Qiao.

However, Qin Yuyi did not put all his hopes on the business road, Xiao Qiao watched with satisfaction as Qin Yuyi went to discuss with the officials of Yong'an City how to introduce higher-yield and more cold-tolerant crops, and how to make the introduced crops acceptable to the people. For the common people, the sudden change of the grain they planted undoubtedly made them give up what they had been ancestral for many years to accept something completely unfamiliar.

"Don't worry, you've never been exposed to any of this, take your time." Xiao Qiao pointed at Qin Yuyi, looking at Qin Yuyi's tired appearance and comfortingly.

"Teacher, I know now that I don't think it's so difficult to just talk about a lot of things, but when you really do it, it makes people rack their brains." Qin Yuyi lay on the table weakly, although he knew that many things were not simple, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to govern a small city in the northwest.

"This is your practice, only if you truly understand what the people want, can you control their ** and let them be used by you." Xiao Qiao looked at the night outside the window, and couldn't help but smile when he thought of Hu Li still squatting in the kitchen waiting for dinner, "Your Highness, we still have time, and the current behavior of several princes is your warning light in the future." ”

"Yes, Teacher." Qin Yuyi sat down again and stretched his waist, "Teacher, let's go eat, at that time, Brother Hu Li said that he would make something to eat tonight." ”

Xiao Qiao couldn't help laughing when he thought of what Hu Li said was delicious, but he didn't mention it to Qin Yuyi, but just went to the front hall with him.

After eating what Hu Li said was delicious, Qin Yuyi finally understood why the teacher's face was so strange before dinner. He only knew that Hu Li's brother liked to eat chicken, but he didn't know that his preference for chicken was so deep.

Xiao Qi watched Qin Yuyi go back, and rubbed Hu Li's head, "Okay, let's go back, I ate so much tonight, don't sleep, practice hard." ”

Hu Li pursed his lips, cultivation is cultivation, his eyes rolled slightly, grabbed Xiao Qiao's wide sleeves, and smiled: "Brother Xiao, let's cultivate together, maybe we can cultivate faster, if you don't know where you are, you can ask me." ”

Looking at his picture of me not sleeping, you don't want to sleep, knowing that Hu Li is going to be a moth again, Xiao Qiao chuckled and nodded, "It's okay, I have some questions for you." ”

Hu Li's body stiffened, looking at Xiao Qiao's smiling appearance, and suddenly drooped his shoulders, "Brother Xiao, you are so smart, do you still have questions that you don't understand?" ”

"How can anyone understand anything?" Xiao Qiao took Hu Li's hand and walked to the backyard, and the white palms of the two could be faintly seen between the wide sleeves, "Besides, cultivation is still a bit far away for me, and if I want to catch up with your cultivation, I still have a long way to go!" ”

Hu Li kicked the pebbles on the road on his toes, and when he heard Xiao Qiao say this, he shook the hands of the two holding hands, "Then I'll cultivate more slowly and wait for Brother Xiao." ”

"Nonsense! I forgot what Grandpa said before leaving! ”

Xiao Qiao thought that Grandpa Hu said that although Hu Li currently has four tails, he is actually not good at controlling the spiritual power in his body, and he can't even control the number of tails that are revealed, so he can only rely on illusion to cover up the four tails.

Hu Li pursed his mouth, lowered his head and didn't speak, Xiao Qiao touched his hair helplessly, "Obedient, after your spiritual power is controlled, slow down your cultivation speed and wait for me, okay?" ”

Hu Li pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay." ”

After going back, Hu Li directly turned into his original form and lay on the small rocking chair placed in the window, the warm spiritual power contained in the moonlight made Hu Li stretch his waist comfortably, and the four tails flicked back and forth, so fluffy that Xiao Qiao almost couldn't help but reach out to pinch it.

Xiao Qiao threw the red halberd, which was standing lazily at the window, with the back of his neck, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, sighing in his heart, he never knew that he had no resistance to furry things.

Since Grandpa Hu fed Chi Ji another spirit grass before leaving, Chi Ji has never been able to enter Hu Li's room, but has been thrown by Xiao Qiao to the branch outside the window for the night every time.

Chi Ji looked at Hu Li lying on the small rocking chair on the windowsill, lowered his head and smoothed his feathers, Let's go to the mountain behind tomorrow, that little snake is quite interesting.

At night, the northwest was even colder than the Imperial City, and the cold streets were uninhabited, and a few black shadows flashed quickly and disappeared behind a high wall.

Xiao Qiao opened his eyes suddenly, walked to the window to comfort Hu Li, who was awakened, and waited for Hu Li to close his eyes again and enter the cultivation before leaving the room.

The red halberd was staring at the roof, as if it was about to rush to the roof and pull everyone on the roof down fiercely in the next moment. Xiao Qiao touched the feather of the red halberd, signaling that he didn't need to be guarded.

After Xiao Qiao came out, the person on the roof quietly slid off the roof, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Qiao, and whispered, "I've seen the master." ”

"What is the situation in the Imperial City, the manpower used by the Great Prince and the Third Prince in the Mansion can be withdrawn?" Xiao Qiao had asked the people who had lurked in the mansion of the eldest prince and the third prince to withdraw early, thinking that there might be a move in the imperial city in the future, Xiao Qiao narrowed his eyes.

The person who came didn't look up, and still said in a low voice: "If you go back to the master, everyone has withdrawn, and the things have been sent to the third prince, but the seventeenth who sent the things has not come out." ”

"Find Seventeen." Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, "The rest of the people will go back to Hanshan for the time being, and after this period of time has passed, they will send two more people to the Third Prince's Mansion and act according to the plan." ”

"Yes, master." The person who came responded in a low voice, pointed to the two people who followed behind him, and said, "This is the person sent by Lord Xia Ling's subordinates." ”

"Well, you go back." Xiao Qiao waved his hand, and the person who came saluted again turned to leave, leaving the two people on their knees and not speaking.

"What's your name?"

"If you go back to the master, your subordinate Ning Yi/Ning Er has seen the master."

"Do you know what you're here for?" Xiao Qiao looked at these two people who could only be regarded as teenagers, a man and a woman, who were in their best years.

"Yes." Ning Yi, Ning Er bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Go by yourself, if you can let him leave you behind, stay, if not, go back to the cold mountain." Xiao Qiao turned around and went back to the house after speaking, and the two people kneeling in the courtyard glanced at each other, and saw in each other's eyes that it was inevitable.

They will definitely stay, the training in the cold mountains is extremely hard, if they go back without success, what awaits them is definitely more hard training and others will laugh at them.

The figures of the two disappeared into the courtyard in a flash, Hu Li, who was lying on the rocking chair, opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Qiao who walked in and shook his tail, and a thin and glutinous voice sounded, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong in the imperial city?" ”

Xiao Qiao couldn't help but reach out and pinch one of Hu Li's tails and hugged Hu Li into his arms, "Since Emperor Huiming fell ill, although he has gradually improved, his health is still not as good as before. The princes began to have other careful thoughts, and there was going to be a disturbance in the imperial city. ”

Hu Li's ears moved, his red eyes narrowed, his little paws rested on Xiao Qiao's arm, and he said lazily: "Fortunately, the Eighth Prince came out with us, if there is a disturbance in the imperial city, there must be many people involved." ”

Xiao Qiao nodded, rubbed Hu Li's tail with his palm, and said with a smile: "Anyway, we are not in the Imperial City, so we don't have to think about it, as long as we know what will happen in the Imperial City." ”

Hu Li nodded, and soon lay down in Xiao Qiao's arms and continued to cultivate, Xiao Qiao carefully placed him between the soft futons, and also closed his eyes to continue to cultivate.

The eldest prince who was far away in the imperial city was anxiously walking back and forth in the room, "Come on, go and call Mr. Li." ”

"Yes." The little guy outside the door replied respectfully, and the footsteps became farther and farther away.

The eldest prince drank a pot of water irritably, obviously he had been fine before, how could he suddenly be known by the third child about the things in the suburban Zhuangzi.

"Your Highness, Mr. Li is here."

"Come in, please."

"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?" The man known as Mr. Li was dressed in gray, thin but slender, with a beautiful beard.

The eldest prince closed the door and looked at Mr. Li anxiously, "Sir, the matter of Zhuangzi has been known to the third child, what are we going to do now?" That guy has always dealt with me and me, and I'm afraid that I will sue my father about it, and no matter what reason I have, I won't be able to escape the charge of deliberate rebellion. ”

Mr. Li frowned slightly, and comforted the eldest prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, the people in Zhuangzi are all farmers on weekdays, and they can be used as hired farmers." The important thing is that His Highness needs to transfer the soldiers and horses in Zhuangzi, and if His Highness can be trusted, he can secretly send the soldiers and horses to Hanshan. ”

"Cold Mountain?" The eldest prince looked at Mr. Li suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Mr. Li touched his beautiful beard, and there was a little smug in his eyes, "A residence in the cold mountain is a simple tiled house, not as high as the high-walled compound of His Highness, but it is a good place to hide something. ”

"Oh? Did Mr. live in Hanshan before? "The eldest prince is a little curious, when I met this gentleman half a year ago, I didn't hear that he also lived in Hanshan.

Mr. Li waved his hand, a little embarrassed, "Before I met His Highness, the despicable life was poor, and it was a good place to live in Hanshan." ”

The eldest prince nodded, he knew that this Mr. Li had never met a talent, and he could have participated in the scientific examination, but he was killed by a slut, injured the tendons of his hand, and could no longer write a good hand.

"Since the gentleman has provided the place, let's go there." The eldest prince thought of the third child who seemed to be smiling today, so he was a little sick and rushed to the doctor.

Mr. Li smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of indescribable feeling in his smile, "Your Highness should send things away as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble." ”

The eldest prince began to transfer his troops and horses the next day because the third prince was in a hurry, but he didn't know that on the way to Hanshan, there was a team that was ambushed there early, just waiting for the eldest prince to fall into the woven net.

The third prince knelt in front of Emperor Huiming, his expression sad and angry, "Father, the son didn't expect the eldest brother to do such a thing, and the queen mother once called several of us to have dinner together a few days ago. Erchen was stupid, and he didn't find out that the eldest brother had a ...... Have that kind of mind! ”

Emperor Huiming's already getting better body was so angry that he almost fainted when he was so angry by the words of the third prince that he didn't expect that his eldest prince would raise troops in private, and his third prince was busy coming to sue him.

That's good, that's good!
