In fact, it is not conducive to his plan to single out the matter of the six princes' private mining now, but it is inevitable that things will deviate from the previous life, and the master who is trapped there cannot escape, Xiao Jue still decided to do so.

The significance of his rebirth lies in the master's family, and the increase in strength and the struggle for power and profit are just a foreshadowing to achieve this ultimate goal.

Therefore, everything he does must be based on Master and others. Otherwise, what's the point of him doing this qiē?

High-ranking officials? Fame and power? He had all of these in his previous life, what else was there to pursue?

What if he even wanted to, and then confirmed the rumor that he was disobedient? He just didn't want to.

After being born again and accepting this identity, the goal he had set in his mind was always clear. He is fearless and carefree, just for his little girl, give everything he has.

Qingzhou Qingwangfu study.

Qingwang Xiao Cong was dressed in plain white, with a wide robe and wide sleeves, and three thousand ink silks were bound by a green jade hairpin, hanging down a few strands scattered on his shoulders, which made his eyebrows and eyes indifferent, and his face was like snow jade.

He sat there lightly, his eyes were distant and flat, like an immortal in the Nine Heavenly Palaces in the painting. It seems that he doesn't even pay attention to it.

However, Fu Yun, who was kneeling below with his head bowed at this moment, was like falling into a cold pool in his heart, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

It wasn't that he was afraid that this breath would disturb the jade immortal in front of him, but that he was afraid of breaking the deathly silence in the study.

Fu Yun's body trembled slightly, and even though he tried hard to control it, he couldn't help but leak it out.

He kept regretting in his heart, why didn't he give himself to the knot earlier, so as not to suffer some inhuman torture before he got the master's death.

But then he felt sad in his heart, because if he really did that, it would be better for him to die, but it would be a burden to his family. When the time comes, they will be taken and taken in his place, and he will die in the ground, and there will be no peace.

In Fu Yun's flustered thoughts, the deathly silence in the study was finally broken.

Xiao Cong, who was in a wheelchair, finally spoke, his tone was light and light, but the words he said were frightening for no reason.

"Fu Yun, I trusted you by entrusting you with the mine, but you betrayed my trust. The mine is exposed, the miners are fleeing, and you are to blame for both. Luckily, you still have a bit of brains, and you cleaned your tail very cleanly, so that no one could find me.

"But that's just the surface, and who knows what others will think?

"The mine is in my fiefdom Qingzhou, and in this matter, I finally have a crime of 'negligence'."

Speaking of this, Xiao Cong's tone suddenly sank a little, "I finally pulled myself out of the whirlpool of the struggle for the throne, and as soon as this incident happened, it reached the ears of my father and my good brothers, guess what they would think of me?" ”

Fu Yun's forehead beads of sweat were pouring down, and he was both afraid and hateful in his heart, of course, what he hated was naturally not Xiao Cong in front of him, but the miner who took advantage of the chaos to take away the formation card! If you want him to know who it is, you have to cramp and skin him so that he has no place to bury!

It's just that he probably doesn't have that chance...... Now he can't save his own life.

The room fell into dead silence again, and Fu Yun's head slammed heavily on the cold and hard floor, heavier than the next, and he couldn't wait to directly knock his posture to death. He's certainly not trying to win sympathy, but—

"Master, my subordinates are sorry for you! If you want to cut the small one with a thousand knives, the small one will never complain, but the small one begs you, for the sake of the little one who has been loyal to you for so many years, bypass the small one.

"They don't know anything, master, raise your noble hand and let them go. The little one who will be a cow and a horse in the next life will come to repay you, please......"

Looking at the subordinates in front of him who were stumbling and crying and begging, Xiao Cong's eyes were blank, as if he was just looking at something inconsequential.

Originally, there was no need to keep the subordinates who made such a big mistake. Even his family can't give them a chance to turn over and take revenge.

But...... Xiao Cong thought of the miner who successfully escaped from the mine, his brows furrowed rarely, and he said lightly with thin lips: "Fu Yun, which one wants you to die?" ”

"Huh?" Fu Yun's crying stopped suddenly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the person in front of him, with a handful of snot and tears on his face, looking at the wolf bèi.

His eyes widened in disbelief and he said, "Lord, master, do you mean—" Don't want your subordinates?

He didn't say the rest of the story, because it turned out to be hard for even him to believe. He was really afraid that he was hallucinating.

Who would have thought that Xiao Cong actually understood what he was trying to express, and said lightly: "Well, don't want it for the time being." Now there is something to be done for you, and your head will be stored on your neck for the time being. If you mess things up again—"

Fu Yun shook his head hurriedly, and without waiting for Xiao Cong to say the following words, he repeatedly promised: "No, no, don't worry, the little one will do his best to go to the soup and fire, and hand over the small task to you to complete." If the small one is entrusted with it, then the two crimes will be punished together, so that the small one will die without a place to be buried! The little one doesn't have the face to plead with you again. ”

"Well, that's good. It's not a difficult task, you go and get the escaped miner back and make sure he doesn't leak the slightest bit about the mine. Otherwise, you know the consequences. Go ahead. ”

After walking non-stop for a few days, Jiang Rong and the others were sleeping in the open and didn't sleep well. Even Jiang Yu, who was so excited at first that he couldn't see anything was novel, has wilted in the past two days.

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because Jiang Rongsheng was afraid that something would happen to Brother Ping, and he wanted to catch up with the black-clothed men who kidnapped him as soon as possible, so as to save Brother Ping. But after so many days, Brother Ping has always been fine, which makes her heart feel a little relieved.

Seeing that the faces of several people were a little bad, they decided to go to the next town to rest and have some dry food.

Before evening, the carriage came to a town called "Liuxian Town".

As soon as they entered, a few people saw that the street was bustling and lively, with small stalls and shops on both sides of the road. The streets are also full of tourists, with festive expressions on all faces.

There are also many children wandering around the streets, playing with each other, singing nursery rhymes in the local dialect. After carefully identifying them a few times, Jiang Rong could hear what they were singing.

"On the third day of March, the ghost gate is closed; Halloween, the east wind is slanting; Sacrifice to ghosts and gods, happy to come to the door; Send flower lanterns, bright and clear; Playing tricks, happy miles...... On March 3, the ghost gate was closed; Halloween, the east wind is slanting; Sacrifice to ghosts and gods, happy to come to the door; Send flower lanterns, bright and clear; Playing ghost tricks, happy miles......"

The children sang over and over again, and some even clapped their little hands while singing, so cheerful that they couldn't do it.

Jiang Rong and the others couldn't help but be infected by the joyful and festive atmosphere in the town, Jiang Yu and Jiang Lan even leaned together by the window and looked out, salivating over the various objects sold on the street.

"A-Niang, is it March 3 Ghost Day? If I hadn't listened to these children sing, I would have forgotten about it. Jiang Rong looked at Li and said.

Li Shi smiled slightly: "No, today is the day when the ghost gate is opened, and the yin energy in the yang world is prosperous." Fortunately, we came into the town, otherwise we would have been sleeping out at night, in case we bumped into a ghost fairy who came out of the ghost gate, but we would have crashed. ”

In my memory, they are also going to celebrate the Ghost Festival on this day in Peach Blossom Village, Qingxia Town, but it doesn't seem to be as lively and grand as this Liuxian Town.

As can be seen from the name of this town, the people here are by no means ordinary worshippers of ghosts and gods, otherwise they would not even have a name "ghostly".

The nursery rhyme also sings "sacrifice ghosts and gods, send lanterns, and play ghost shows" or something, this show is one after another, which can make people have enough of Halloween's addiction.

Jiang Rong couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

The group stayed in an inn in the town, and when they had eaten and bathed and reorganized, the time was almost the middle of the day, that is, eight o'clock in modern times. At this time, the lights are already lit up outside, and the excitement of Halloween has just begun to be released.

Several people walked out of the inn together, Jiang Yu grabbed Jiang Rong's hand with one hand, and lingered on the goods on both sides of the street with the other hand.

But the child is forgetful, and he has no longevity, and when he sees the better one in front of him, he throws away everything he has at hand.

Because it is Halloween, in addition to all kinds of snacks, sachets and handkerchiefs, dim sum ornaments, children's toys, cloth and clothes sold on the street, there are also ghost masks, ghost costumes and other things that are suitable for the occasion, and there are also jugglers and singers, which are very lively.

Walking all the way to the end of the street, Jiang Yu ate so little that he almost couldn't walk. In the end, one of the people who responded to the occasion bought a mask and put it on, and from time to time deliberately made exaggerated intimidation gestures in an attempt to scare passers-by.

It's just that in such a festival, ghost masks that are more terrifying than their faces abound, and they are countless, and who can they expect to be frightened by the ones they wear on their faces?

Walking to the end of the street, there is a not very wide river in front of you, the bank of the river is full of willows, at this moment under the light of the lights, the willow branches are like a group of ghosts, but it is not terrifying at all.

Many people on the river have already sent lanterns up, and the lanterns on the gently rippling water slowly drift away into the distance.

This lantern is made of red paper by the people in the town themselves, and it is mostly in the shape of lotus flowers, but there are also other styles. Candles are lit inside, and the lights on the river are lit, representing the good wishes of each family.

There are also people who light incense and firecrackers at the same time as the lanterns are turned on, probably thinking that they will use the incense and the loud sound of firecrackers to lure a certain passing ghost god over, so that he can hear his wish.
