Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 232 Discuss the expedition
The material of this dress is so special, and few people will have it, after finishing the fragrance he smelled in Heluo Courtyard, it is very likely that it is one of these three people and the eldest grandson Mingwei.
"Your Highness seems to be interested in this?" The eldest grandson Mingwei showed a curious look and looked at Xu Xiang.
"Just ask, if this is the secret of the eldest grandson's family, Miss Mingwei doesn't need to say it." She was suspicious that she was overly concerned about it. In order to dispel the doubts in her heart, Xu Xiang had to use roundabout tactics.
"It's not a secret, in addition to me, there are also young patriarch Sun Mingyue who has a flowing light, young priest chief Sun Yumin has a silver sand white one, and Elder Yumi has a purple light streamer. They're all much more expensive than mine, and they don't wear much on weekdays. ”
"Oh, I see." Xu Xiang secretly remembered these people in his heart.
Walking on the streets of Baihua City, because it was the eldest grandson Mingwei who took it, all those passers-by got out of the way.
The City of Flowers is a place where women are respected, and everywhere you can see those women swaggering down the streets, while those men are carefully waiting beside them.
"There are about two million people in our Hundred Flowers City, and there are more than one million people in some tribes around the Hundred Flowers City. In Hundred Flowers City, except for the eldest grandson, there are only eleven surnames. The eldest grandson is the most noble surname, followed by Qin and Xuanyuan, and the rest of the surnames are the ordinary people of Baige Island. The eldest grandson, Mingwei, introduced the situation of Hundred Flowers City to Xuanyuan Ding.
"And the surname Xuanyuan?" Xuanyuan must have been a little surprised, the Xuanyuan clan originated from Heluo, and their tribe was not surnamed Xuanyuan at the beginning, but it was later changed to Xuanyuan.
Therefore, under ordinary circumstances, only people from the royal family have the surname Xuanyuan.
Of course, after so many years, the Xuanyuan royal family is declining more and more, not only the people of the royal family in Ningdu, but also those people of the Xuanyuan clan outside Ningdu are becoming fewer and fewer.

"Yes! This one can be regarded as having the same bloodline as His Majesty. At that time, the ancestor Empress Changsun gave birth to five sons for the ancestor emperor, and the youngest one was arranged to come to Baige Island because he was weak and sick since he was a child. It's just that Baige Island was hidden in the world, and the little prince couldn't return to Great Xia, so he took root here. ”
"That'...... Can you take me to meet the Xuanyuan clansmen? Xuanyuan Ding said very excitedly.
Since he succeeded to the throne of the emperor, the Ming clan did not allow other Xuanyuan clansmen to come to Ningdu, so he didn't know who the other clansmen of the Xuanyuan royal clan were, and where they were. Xuanyuan Qian is the only relative who is related to him by blood.
Now, when he heard that there were Xuanyuan clansmen on Baige Island, he was very excited.
"That's really unfortunate, now the direct patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan in Ningdu is not in Hundred Flowers City, even if Your Majesty goes to the Xuanyuan clan's clan land, you won't be able to see a single of Your Majesty's relatives." Eldest Sun Mingwei shook his head and said.
"Huh?"
"There are not many people from the Xuanyuan clan in this generation of Hundred Flowers City, as long as there are less than a hundred people, and they are basically on the side of Ash Mountain, they can't come back to Hundred Flowers City now. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, Ember Mountain is just a small fight now, and they are not in danger over there. Oh, by the way, there is a member of the Xuanyuan clan in the Chengfeng army, who is the third son of the patriarch Xuanyuan, and I will arrange for him to come over to see Your Majesty at that time. ”
"Good!"
In fact, there is nothing to visit in Baihua City, it is similar to the city outside, and the food is no different from the outside.
Moreover, Xu Xiang also noticed that the currency here in Hundred Flowers City is still the copper coins and silver tickets of Great Xia. Moreover, there are some places where there are some goods in Changhe Town.
Obviously, they have contact with the outside world.
Five days have passed in a flash, and Xuanyuan must have been on pins and needles for these five days, although every day the eldest grandson Mingwei would come over and tell him about the whereabouts of the Chengfeng Army. However, the Baige Gold Order was stolen, and the eldest grandson Yuyao was not there, what if the person who stole the Baige Order wanted to let himself show the Baige Order at that time?
Xu Xiang doesn't seem to be nesting in Heluo Courtyard these days, but wandering around.
In the past few days, he has deliberately gone to talk to all the people in the mansion and get to know them.
And the main target is the three people mentioned by the eldest grandson Mingwei.
Sun Yumin, the chief priest, was a middle-aged woman with a little girl of seven or eight years old by her side.
However, this little girl is not her daughter.
He learned that in the Changsun clan, in addition to the young priest, there was also a high priest.
The position of priest is very important, when there is war, you have to give advice, and when there is no war, you have to stabilize and organize the internal affairs and deal with some government affairs. Similar to political commissars and staff officers in the army. Now that the eldest grandson clan has a war in the Ash Mountain, this high priest has to go out with the army, while the young priest stays in Baihua City and takes over the previous errand of the high priest.
Therefore, they have a lot of things to do, and they are usually busy from morning to night.
The position of priest is not allowed to marry, and that little girl is to be trained to become a young priest, so she has always been by her side.
When Xu Xiang went to find her, she was busy collecting food and grass for the soldiers on the front line, and she didn't have the leisure to deal with him at all.
On the contrary, she talked more with the little girl.
This little girl is only seven or eight years old, but she is very smart. Xu Xiang's identity, she also knew, so she received him instead of the eldest grandson Yumin.
Chatting with this little girl, Xu Xiang saw that she was small, and wanted to fool this little girl and find out about the matter of Ash Mountain.
However, the little girl had a sweet smile on her face and said, "Oh, the patriarch doesn't allow us to mention this matter to His Highness!" Whoever brings it up will be punished. I tell you, the patriarch's whip hurts! Your Highness, you can't bear to let my little girl be whipped by the patriarch's leather whip, right? So...... Your Highness, I can't tell you. ”
No matter what Xu Xiang does, this little girl is not as easy to deceive as ordinary children.
Some of his conversation pitfalls were perfectly avoided by her.
Subsequently, Xu Xiang talked about the black dress she wore when she went shopping with the eldest grandson Mingwei, and said that the eldest grandson Mingwei mentioned that the young priest also had such a dress.
When Xu Xiang mentioned this, the little girl's face suddenly became ugly.
Directly avoided the topic and politely sent him away.
Then he also went to meet the young patriarch Changsun Mingyue, who was quite enthusiastic and politely talked to him.
It's just that when Xu Xiang asked about Ash Mountain, she also refused to say a word.
Unable to find an answer to the matter of Ember Mountain, he changed the subject, and finally went back to the robe.
There was nothing unusual about the eldest grandson Mingyue, thinking that Xu Xiang was just asking ordinarily.
Moreover, in order to satisfy Xu Xiang's curiosity, she also deliberately changed the dress and deliberately wore it to him.
This dress is really the most valuable one as the eldest grandson Mingwei said.
The material is not made of cloth at all, but looks like some soft crystal.
The eldest grandson Mingyue wore it on his body, like a fairy.
Although her appearance surpassed most of the women Xu Xiang had ever seen, it was not amazing. However, when she came out in this dress, Xu Xiang felt like a different person, and she was incredibly beautiful.
Moreover, the faint fragrance of flowers also emanated from this dress was completely different from what he smelled that night.
Soon, he ruled out the suspicion of the eldest grandson Mingyu.
On the third day, he went to see the eldest grandson Yumi, this elder was a martial idiot, who only cared about practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and ignored Xu Xiang's arrival at all.
Xu Xiang talked to her, and her answers were only "um" and "ah", and she didn't get any useful information.
On the sixth day, Xu Xiang planned to look for the young priest again to see if he could get some useful clues.
The eldest grandson Mingwei came over early in the morning, saying that the Chengfeng army would be able to arrive in Baihua City tonight, let Xuanyuan Ding and others pack up, and early tomorrow morning, he would lead the army to set off and go to Ningdu to quell the rebellion.
After lunch, the eldest grandson Mingyue came over. And she was wearing her colorful dress.
The three of them sat down in the courtyard, and the eldest grandson Mingyue was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the Chengfeng Army will return to Hundred Flowers City tonight." As the saying goes, without further ado, after consulting with the elders, I decided to leave early tomorrow morning, Mingwei told you about this, right? ”
"Well, early this morning, Miss Mingwei came over and told me this."
"That's good!" She nodded, and then said, "But before I go, I have to consult with Your Majesty about the expedition." ”
"That's as it should be! Naturally, we should communicate first. Xuanyuan nodded approvingly, even if she didn't come today, he was ready to communicate with the eldest grandson Mingwei later.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell Your Majesty. Originally, the patriarch planned for me and Mingwei to assist His Majesty in quelling the rebellion. However, it happened suddenly, the patriarch went to Ash Mountain, and Hundred Flowers City could not be left alone, so Mingwei couldn't go over. ”
"It doesn't matter." Xuanyuan Ding still cares about these details, as long as the eldest grandson is willing to borrow troops to come out, anyone who leads the troops can do it.
"I don't know, where does Your Majesty plan to start?" She asked.
Xuanyuan Ding asked Zhai Ling'er to take out the map, then opened the map, pointed to the Nanjiang River and said: "I have discussed this matter with Changsha, after we leave Baige Island, we will first go down the Nanjiang River and capture the ...... of Changhe Town."
Subsequently, he told himself and Xu Xiang's original plan one by one.
The eldest grandson, Mingyue, listened quietly, frowning from time to time.
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, she shook her head slowly and said, "I don't agree with Your Majesty's plan. ”
