In winter, it was early at night, and it was already dark after dinner.

Xu Shaoling borrowed a booklet about the history of Great Xia from the gentleman who taught them to read, and returned to his room.

He had just lit the oil lamp and was about to read it at night, when he suddenly saw a man sitting on his bed.

Xu Shaoling was startled, but fortunately, he had seen this man once, so he patted his chest and asked, "Yuan Gongzi, why are you in my room?" ”

It turned out that the man sitting on his bed was the noble son who was taken in by the young master before. learned from the young lady that this son's surname was Yuan, and he was chased and killed by the Ming family before hiding in the Xu Mansion.

Xuanyuan Ding looked at the words "History of Great Xia" on his book, smiled and asked, "Are you interested in the history of Great Xia?" ”

"It was the young master who told us to read more books, and I thought that it would be okay at night, so I asked Mr. to borrow this book." Xu Shaoling replied and put the book on the table.

Since paper had not yet become popular, the books of this era were bound into books with thin bamboo slices and threads, and although the book was less than 5,000 words, it was a bit heavy.

"Yue Ling, do you know who I am?" Xuanyuan looked at him with admiration and asked.

Xu Shaoling's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, for a child, it is very rare to be able to quickly change his expression.

"Yuan Gongzi, are you calling me? My name is Xu Shaoling, and my son recognized the wrong person. ”

"I'm not mistaken. You are Yue Qiong's only son, Yue Ling. Xuanyuan said lightly.

Hearing the word "Yue Qiong", Xu Shaoling's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, he was indeed Yue Ling, Xu Xiang gave him two choices, one was to arrange for him to leave Ningdu, and the other was to change his name.

He chose the second.

The name Yue Ling, along with the secret hidden in his heart, has disappeared for a long time.

Now that Xuanyuan Ding talked about it, he was a little flustered.

Who is this Yuan Gongzi? Does he know my identity to take the Peace? Will he kill me?

Countless questions filled his mind.

"I am the emperor of Great Xia. It won't hurt you, you don't have to be nervous. Xuanyuan saw him with a panicked look and said comfortingly.

Xu Shaoling didn't speak, but his eyes were full of doubt.

"Yuan Gongzi, I think you misunderstood, I really don't call Yue Ling! You hear this name is a noble name, I am just a small guy in the Xu Mansion, how can I be a noble......" Regardless of the truth or falsehood of the man in front of him claiming to be the emperor, he still does not intend to admit his identity.

What happened in Ningdu, he naturally heard about it. The emperor was robbed on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Ming clan supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, which had a great impact on Ningdu.

"You don't believe I'm the Emperor?" Xuanyuan didn't expect that this child would be so mature and have his own unique thinking ability.

"If Yuan Gongzi has nothing to do, please go back. I'm going to rest. ”

"I wonder if this can prove my identity?" Xuanyuan Ding took out a small jade seal, this is his private seal, although the Ming family is the master of the decree issued by Great Xia, but he still needs to be stamped with the seal of the emperor.

Xu Shaoling didn't even look at it, he couldn't tell the truth of this thing.

"Yuan Gongzi, please!" He leaned sideways and opened the door, asking him to leave.

Xuanyuan Ding shook his head and got up to express his helplessness.

Leaving Xu Shaoling's room, he returned to the study, and saw Zhai Ling'er looking at him expectantly, he shook his head helplessly, and a look of disappointment flashed in Zhai Ling'er's eyes.

"Ling'er, when will your brother come back?" Xuanyuan sat down and asked.

At the beginning, after Ming Heng questioned him in the main hall whether the disappearance of the Baolong Army had anything to do with him, he asked Zhai Yin to go to Zitong Pass to investigate the disappearance of the Baolong Army. So I haven't been by his side.

Zhai Ling'er shook her head, "There is no news from the eldest brother yet." ”

"Ling'er, do you think what Qin Zhiwei said about the Hundred Battles Golden Order today is not feasible?"

"There must be no Baige Island in Nanjiang, otherwise there will definitely be news from the Zhai family." Zhai Ling'er thought for a while and said, "But what Qin Zhiwei means is that Baige Island is still in Nanjiang, and the news of their Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is much better than Zhai's, maybe ......."

"Maybe, really? Does the Eldest Sun Clan still exist? Xuanyuan Ding took her words and asked.

"This ...... Ling'er didn't dare to pack the ticket. In fact, after so many years, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow has ignored the royal family, and Ling'er wonders if the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow has begun to split internally, and now no one can be the master of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. Therefore, Qin Zhiwei came to find His Majesty this time, maybe he wanted to use His Majesty's hand to obtain the power of the Eldest Sun Clan? If she wants to use the power of the eldest grandson, then what will she have to deal with...... It's likely to be the advance army of the Earth Dragon Division!"

"It's really possible! For so many years, the eight divisions have done their own thing, and no one can really call the shots! Last time, my eldest sister went to the court and said that the palm order of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow appeared, do you think it was because the palm order could not be recognized by everyone in the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, so she thought of the power of the eldest grandson clan? The Earth Dragon Division definitely doesn't recognize this order! After all, the advance army of the Earth Dragon Division is an unrivaled existence! Xuanyuan Ding made up his own mind.

"The Ming clan has done such a rebellious thing, and it has definitely been replaced by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow a hundred years ago. Now that the advance army is still in Shanhaiguan, there is no sign of the movement of a single soldier, and it can be seen that the Dilong Division seems to be not planning to pay attention to Ningdu's affairs! ”

Zhai Ling'er thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that since Qin Zhiwei is so sure of the existence of Baige Island, and has taken out the Baige Golden Order, maybe Baige Island really exists!"

"It's getting late, let's get some rest. You go to find Luo Min tomorrow and say that I want to see Qin Zhiwei again. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Xu Shaoling held the book, but he couldn't read it, he couldn't sleep because of Xuanyuan's words.

When my father was separated from him, he told me the secret of the Pingjing Book guarded by the Yue family. and repeatedly instructed him that unless the emperor of Great Xia came to ask for it in person, he could not give it.

Moreover, don't take the initiative to go to the Great Xia Emperor and tell him about the Pingjing Book.

Now Xuanyuan Ding appeared in front of him and said that he was the emperor of Great Xia. Although there was no mention of asking him for a flat book, he knew that his purpose was to make a flat book.

He put down the book and thought to himself: "If he is really the emperor, then I shouldn't refuse!"

After all, for the Great Xia royal family, the current situation couldn't be worse.

"However, if he is not the emperor, then if I admit that I am a member of the Yue family, won't I send it to the door myself?"

He was torn between what to do.

After thinking for a long time, he got dressed, took a lantern, and walked out of the room.

At this moment, Xu Xiang hadn't slept yet, he was lying on the bed, thinking about what Qin Zhiwei talked to him about today.

The news of him in Ningdu was known by his cheap brother, Xu Hong, who is now the successor to the throne of Chu.

Xu Hong had already sent someone on the way over, saying that he wanted to take him back to Chu State.

For this cheap brother, he has no memory in his mind.

He didn't know what the personality of this brother was, and whether his attitude towards him was good or bad.

"Whatever! I won't admit it then! He rolled over and stopped the cranky thoughts in his head, "Sleep!" ”

As soon as he turned sideways, he heard a voice outside the door accompanied by a knock on the door, "Young Master, have you slept?" ”

"Shaoling?" He heard that this voice was a bit like Xu Shaoling, so he got up, put on his clothes and shoes, opened the door, and sure enough, he saw the little boy with the lantern, it was Xu Shaoling.

"Is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?" Xu Xiang asked, and then said, "Come in first, it's cool outside." ”

Xu Shaoling walked in, put the lantern on the table, blew out the candle, and said, "Young Master, can you arrange for me to leave Ningdu?" ”

Xu Xiang sat down, with a surprised look on his face, and pointed to another stool, "You sit first!" ”

After Xu Shaoling sat down, he asked, "What happened, didn't you stay well in the Xu Mansion?" Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? ”

"I ......" Xu Shaoling didn't know whether to say that Xuanyuan was going to come to him today.

"It's okay, have you suffered any grievances? Tell me, I'll call the shots! Xu Xiang had a smile on his face, he thought in his heart that Xu Shaoling had been wronged in the Xu Mansion, so he would think of leaving.

"Young Master, I heard that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Beiyi's traitors infiltrated the palace and robbed the emperor?"

"Well, that's what I said. What's wrong? Does this have anything to do with wanting to leave Ningdu? ”

"Where do you say the emperor is now?" Xu Shaoling did not answer his words, but asked such a question that made Xu Xiang inexplicable.

"It doesn't matter to me where the emperor is! I can't take care of the palace right now! Xu Xiang replied.

"What if...... I mean, what if, if the emperor is in the Xu Mansion? ”

The smile on Xu Xiang's face slowly began to fade, for Xuanyuan Ding's identity, he once thought that he would be hunted down by the Ming clan on the first day of the new year, and it happened that the Ming clan said that the emperor was robbed.

Is there really such a coincidence in this world? Moreover, Zhai Ling'er beside him is a master of innate importance, if he is just an ordinary nobleman, how can he have such a master by his side?

Not only that, but today Qin Zhiwei came to find Xuanyuan Ding, which deepened his suspicions even more.

He doubted, could this Yuan Gongzi be the emperor?

"Yuan Ding is the emperor?" Xu Xiang asked calmly, Xu Shaoling came to look for him at this moment, and when he mentioned such a topic, it must be Yuan Ding who came to find him.

The purpose is likely to be the Pingjing book in Xu Shaoling's hand.

"He said he was the emperor, and I ...... It is impossible to judge. ”

"He asked you for a book?"

"Not yet, I didn't admit my identity. Ask him to leave. ”

"Don't leave in a hurry, if he is really the emperor, maybe you can hand over the Pingjing Book to him, so that your father's last wish can be fulfilled." Xu Xiang said, and then pondered for a moment, "That's it, I'll check it tomorrow." ”

"Well, then young master, I won't disturb your rest."

Xu Shaoling took the lantern again, saluted him, and left.

At this time, above the roof opposite, a man in black quietly looked at Xu Xiang's room, watching Xu Shaoling's departure.

Xu Xiang walked out of the room, glanced around, and closed the door.

After seeing Xu Xiang blow out the lights in the room, the man in black rose and fell, jumped down, and landed steadily in the courtyard.
