"I asked you to come over, but I didn't ask you to come here like this!" Xuanyuan Mingyue said coldly.

"You don't have a boat, and I won't work lightly, so I can only come up with my own way." Xu Xiang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, saying that he was also forced to be helpless, which led to a great discount in his appearance.

"Stupid!" Xuanyuan Mingyue snorted coldly, then walked to the stone table in the pavilion and slowly moved a teacup on it.

Xu Xiang noticed that there were several teacups on the stone table, and only the one that moved in Xuanyuan Mingyue's hand seemed to be fixed on the stone table.

I only heard the sound of water flowing, and the water in the pond began to flow around the pavilion with the Qinghe Pavilion as the center, directly separating the water around the pavilion.

Immediately at the bottom of the pool appeared a white stone, which rose slowly from the water, and this stone seemed to be very long, and slowly a stone bridge floated from the surface of the water to the shore......

"There's the same teacup on the shore that can power this mechanism!"

Emma! Mistaken!

Xu Xiang was greatly annoyed! At that time, I did see a few teacups on a stone pier on the shore, thinking that Xuanyuan Mingyue drank tea and left it over there, so I didn't think of this layer of the mechanism, but I didn't expect this to be an agency?

"Forehead ....."

"I wanted to test whether you could observe the details, but I didn't expect to be so careless and only do these opportunistic things! It's hard to be up to the task, how can you afford to be the master of the Dragon Order? Xuanyuan Mingyue said with great disappointment.

Xu Xiang didn't know what to say, if he got a mechanism in the room, he could still think of it, isn't it a bit too much for you to get a mechanism in this pond?

Xuanyuan Mingyue sat down and said angrily: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

XU Xiang; With a smile on his face, he then said that he planned to bring in the homeless people outside the Pujia Gate, but the king of Zhongshan wanted to drive all the homeless people to Jinchang and the two cities of tea oil.

After Xuanyuan Mingyue listened, she asked quietly, "So, do you want the Great Xia Dragon Bird to put pressure on the King of Zhongshan?" ”

Then he said coldly: "I'm sorry, you are not the commander of my Great Xia Dragon Sparrow now, and I have no obligation to help you." ”

"No, eldest princess, you misunderstood. I don't want the Great Xia Dragon Bird to put pressure on the King of Zhongshan, but I want to ask you to help take me to meet the King of Zhongshan. Xu Xiang hurriedly explained, in fact, he had already analyzed it before coming to Luofu, and it was only unlikely that he would let the Great Xia Dragon Bird interfere in the affairs of the Mountain Country.

Now he can only find a way to meet the King of Zhongshan by himself and let him retract this decision.

It's just that his current identity in Ningdu is just a businessman, how can he meet the King of Zhongshan? The reason why I came to Xuanyuan Mingyue was because only the people of the Great Xia royal family and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, as well as the high-ranking official who was loyal to the King of Zhongshan, could see the King of Zhongshan.

Even Xiao Man and Xun Yanzhi are not qualified to meet the King of Zhongshan, of course, he and Xiao Man and Xun Yanzhi are only nodding friends, even if they have the ability, they are not necessarily willing to help themselves.

And the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is different, after all, he still has some relationship with them.

Xuanyuan Mingyue's eyes stared at him directly, making him feel a little crazy, and her eyes seemed to be about to see Xu Xiang through.

Judging from Xu Xiang's sincere expression and reaction, she failed, and she couldn't see anything wrong.

So he asked, "Why do you want to see King Zhongshan?" ”

"I would like to ask the King of Zhongshan to retract this erroneous decree. If these homeless people were driven to Jinchang and the two cities of tea oil, they would have traveled a long way to Ningdu, and they would already be exhausted and hungry. Let's not talk about the ruins of the two cities, how to live and how to rebuild the two cities after they arrive. On this road alone, I am afraid that half of the people will die on the way. Xu Xiang replied with a sigh.

Xuanyuan Mingyue looked at him in surprise, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a long time, she asked tentatively, "You..... Concerned about the lives and deaths of these displaced people? ”

"What? Isn't the life of the exile a fate? He began to understand why Luo Min didn't care about Qin Chong's death in the first place, it turned out to be inherited from Xuanyuan Mingyue!

Xu Xiang smiled coldly in his heart.

"Nope." Xuanyuan Mingyue shook her head and said, "Just curious, are you sure that you are the second prince of the Chu State?" When did the nobles care about the lives of ordinary commoners? ”

"All men are equal and free, and they are always in bondage. Every human being comes into this world as if he is alive and dead. No matter what kind of identity you have, you will turn into a handful of loess after death, and no one can avoid it. ”

"Some people are born nobles, so they can live this life without worrying about food and clothing. And some people, born as a people, can only live like cattle and horses. But were nobles nobles from the beginning? How much blood and effort did they pay to become nobles, and the Xuanyuan clan established Great Xia, ruled the world, and rescued thousands of Li people, so people respected him and loved him. But since the death of the founding emperor, how many emperors have there been in Great Xia, but how many have really penetrated the hearts of the people? ”

"Not only that, in the eight hundred and fifty-third year of Great Xia, the Ming soldiers besieged Ningdu, and how many people were willing to sacrifice their lives for the royal family? What does this mean, the people's will is not available......"

"Although the King of Zhongshan is in charge of Ningdu, how many people are willing to be loyal to him? Such a loss of popular support is the way to accelerate the destruction of the Ming clan and Ningdu. ”

Xu Xiang's words made Xuanyuan Mingyue fall into deep thought, and every sentence made her feel that she desperately wanted to agree.

"Since this is the way for the Ming clan to take the fall, my Great Xia Dragon Bird can stand by coldly, and when the time is right, the Xuanyuan Clan can expel the Ming Clan and restore my Great Xia Emperor's power!" Xuanyuan Mingyue spoke.

"Hmph, hehe......" Xu Xiang let out a sneer, the lives of these 200,000 people were really not concerned by the nobles, they only cared about their own power and interests.

"What are you laughing at? My Great Xia Dragon Bird only guards the safety of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, and there are so many disputes in the world that I can't manage it. ”

"In that case, it was Xu who disturbed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Leave! Xu Xiang said disappointedly, turning around and leaving.

"Stop!" Xuanyuan Mingyue stopped him.

Xu Xiang stopped, but didn't look back, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, what else do you have to order?" ”

"You are really, I didn't say I wouldn't take you to see Mingheng." Xuanyuan Mingyue said.

"Oh?" Xu Xiang turned around, "The eldest princess is willing to help me?" ”

"I want to know, what will you do after meeting Ming Heng? First of all, I will not interfere in this matter. ”

"I will convince King Zhongshan to reverse this wrong decision."

The corners of Xuanyuan Mingyue's mouth flashed with a sneer, "Just you?" You are just a businessman now, even if you take out your identity as the second prince of Chu State, I don't think Ming Heng will take care of you, right? ”

"It's man-made, some things, if you don't try it, how do you know the result?"

"Good! I'll take you to see Ming Heng! Xuanyuan Mingyue suddenly admired him, and at the same time was a little curious about how he persuaded Ming Heng.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Eldest Princess!" Xu Xiang solemnly bowed and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Then Xu Gongzi, when I see the King of Zhongshan, how should I introduce your identity?" Xuanyuan Mingyue asked again, she was thinking in her heart, would Xu Xiang use his identity as the commander of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to bluff Ming Heng?

"I'm just a businessman in Ningdu City." Xu Xiang said lightly, indicating that he would not talk about the Lord of the Dragon Order.

"So good! Let's go! Xuanyuan Mingyue got up and walked towards the stone bridge in the water.

The two went ashore, Cao Fengjiao waited on the shore, but her face was very bad, and after seeing Xuanyuan Mingyue, she lowered her head and whispered: "Commander, Xu Changsha is ......."

"Feng Jiao, you go to prepare the car, I'm going to see the King of Zhongshan."

Cao Fengjiao didn't move, she still lowered her head, looking like she wanted to say something.

Xuanyuan Mingyue looked at her puzzledly, and then glanced at the Bird Garden, as if something was missing in her heart.

Suddenly, her gaze stopped at a corner of the Bird Garden, where there were some abandoned branches and trunks left after Xu Xiang cut down the silver fir tree, and where the silver fir tree was originally located, there was only a bare tree stump, and her face instantly became gloomy.

"Who...... Who did this to you? Her voice trembled.

The silver fir tree was in the master's yard when she was studying with her master in the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and it grew very beautifully, and she loved this tree very much.

Seeing that she liked her very much, Master transplanted the tree after she married into Luofu, and she took care of it until it grew to the size of an arm.

A few years ago, Master passed away, and the tree became one of the few memories she had with Master.

"It's Xu...... Xu Changsha...... Chopped. Cao Fengjiao replied very worriedly, and from Xuanyuan Mingyue's tone, she could tell that the commander was angry.

Xuanyuan Mingyue turned around, stared at Xu Xiang with a pair of eyes, and asked coldly, "Did you do it?" ”

Xu Xiang's eyes were a little evasive, and he was silent.

"After this day, if you appear before me, I will ...... Kill you! In the end, she didn't do anything, but said coldly.

Isn't it just a tree? What's the big deal? Xu Xiang secretly slandered himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that after saying it, Xuanyuan Mingyue would not be able to control his emotions and would kill himself.

The carriage headed towards the Zhongshan Palace, Xu Xiang and Xuanyuan Mingyue sat in the carriage, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely cold for a while.

Fortunately, Luofu was not very far from Zhongshan Wangfu, and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and Xuanyuan Mingyue stepped out of the carriage directly, her face still blue.

Xu Xiang followed.

After the communication, Xu Xiang met Zhongshan Wang Mingheng.

Ming Heng is forty-five years old this year, wearing a purple embroidered brocade, a Chinese face, a very tall figure, and a mighty man.

Next to Ming Heng was a young man in his twenties, wearing a light crimson robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. The face is white and pure, with a faint smile on his face, the image of a handsome son.

After the guest and host sat down, Ming Heng took the lead in speaking, "What kind of wind blew Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to my Zhongshan Palace?" It really makes my Ming clan shine! ”

Xuanyuan Mingyue still had a straight face, and she was still angry in her heart for the silver fir tree that was cut down by Xu Xiang.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mingyue's appearance, the smile on Ming Heng's face was a little restrained, and he asked, "The eldest princess doesn't seem to be very happy?" Could it be that which of my Ming clan is not long-eyed and collided with His Highness? ”

At this time, Xuanyuan Mingyue spoke, and said: "It's not this princess who came to look for you today, it's this Xu Changsha Xu Gongzi, who said that he had something to discuss with the king of Zhongshan." ”

Ming Heng was stunned, he thought at first that Xu Xiang, who was following Xuanyuan Mingyue, was a member of the Tianque Division, so he ignored it directly. Now that Xuanyuan Mingyue said this, his eyes were looking at Xu Xiang, his eyes were full of doubts, and he had no impression of Xu Xiang at all.

So he asked with a smile: "I don't know who this Xu Gongzi is?" ”

"He is a merchant in Ningdu City, and he opened a shop called Gnawing Chicken, has the King of Zhongshan ever heard of it?"

Ming Heng suddenly said: "It turns out that the well-known fried chicken in Ningdu City is operated by Xu Gongzi!" ”

Then, with a hint of curiosity, he asked, "But I don't know what Xu Gongzi has to say?" ”

"Xiaomin Xu Changsha has seen the King of Zhongshan!" Xu Xiang saluted Ming Heng, but did not kneel.

According to Xu Xiang's current identity, he is just a businessman, and when he sees the king of a country, he naturally wants to kneel. However, Xu Xiang did not have the habit of kneeling, and Ming Heng thought that a businessman could be recommended by Xuanyuan Mingyue, and there might be other backgrounds behind it, so he didn't care.

Instead, the young man beside him frowned slightly.

"Xu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, there is nothing wrong with saying anything." Ming Heng raised his hand slightly.

"I heard that the king is going to issue an order to expel all the 200,000 displaced people outside Ningdu City to Jinchang and Camellia Oil?" Xu Xiang said.

The look of surprise on Ming Heng's face flashed, and then he asked, "Is there such a thing, I don't know if Xu Gongzi has any questions?" ”

"I feel that this move is a little inappropriate, and I ask the king to withdraw the decree!"

"Presumptuous! How can the decree of my father be withdrawn because of your words? The young man beside Ming Heng scolded angrily.

"Huh! Jing'er, let Xu Gongzi finish speaking. Ming Heng raised his right hand to stop the young man's words, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Xu Xiang: "The 200,000 people outside the city of Ningdu are themselves residents of the two cities of Jinchang and Camellia Oil, and this king feels that it is not inappropriate to send them back to the two cities. ”

"The king's words are ...... wrong," Xu Xiang said, "These homeless people are already physically and mentally exhausted, and they finally came to Ningdu, but they have to be driven back to the second city, the road back is long and long, I don't know how many people will die on the way, have these kings ever considered it?" ”

Ming Heng said: "This matter doesn't seem to have much to do with Xu Gongzi, right?" This king does this, and he has his own king's reason. ”

"I know what the king is worried about, grain!" Xu Xiang said, "The reason why the king wants to drive these homeless people back to Ercheng is because this year itself is a year of great disaster, coupled with the invasion of Wuye Kingdom, the war will start soon, how can food be wasted on these homeless people!" Right? ”

Ming Heng had a surprised look on his face, and then showed an admiring gesture, and asked, "Xu Gongzi has analyzed it well!" Indeed, this king had no choice but to do so. ”

"What if I am willing to share the worries of the king and solve the food for the 200,000 displaced people for the king!"
