Chapter 52: The First Shot

Bai Muye sat on the chair that Cong Feng had just moved, drank the unsalted tea made by Cong's sister-in-law, and smacked his lips.

Well, this tea is so fragrant!

It would be better if you put some milk and sugar in it, a proper Internet celebrity milk tea!

Ay? How about opening a bubble tea shop in Chang'an?

However, it seems that in the Tang Dynasty, everything that has anything to do with the beast of "cow" is very fatal, so it is better to be careful when making requests to Brother Li!

After thinking about it for a long time, Steward Qiao finally came back with a face like a red cloth.

"Bai Langjun, it is rumored that my family's assassin history says that everything is prepared according to what Bai Langjun said!" Steward Qiao said with a smiling face.

Bai Muye raised his eyebrows and came to Steward Qiao with a smile.

Steward Joe took a step back afterwards, still with a professional smile on his face.

"Xie Thorn History...... Don't go to Yangzhou anymore? ”

"No, no......" Steward Joe laughed wryly.

"Really?"

"I'm not going! I really won't go! "Steward Joe's cold sweat is about to come down!

Bai Muye sneered, took out Wei Jinmi's sachet from his waist and handed it to him: "This, take it back to Xie Tingshi." Tell him to show Empress Cao this, so that she can really believe Xie Tingshi's words. ”

Steward Qiao hurriedly put the sachet back into his sleeve pocket.

"Then, does Bai Langjun have any other orders? If not, I'll go back. ”

Bai Muye waved his hand: "There is work, there is work!" ”

"Retire, retire!" Steward Joe bowed down in a decent manner, and then walked backwards out of the room.

Bai Muye looked at his figure and smiled slightly.

Everything that will happen tomorrow will make this small Xia Kingdom established by Dou Jiande completely annihilated in the long river of history.

From then on, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has been prosperous all the way, and gradually took charge of the Tang Dynasty, and his influence will gradually radiate to most of the world.

And this first shot will be fired by me, the traverser!

……

The next morning, a drizzle fell from the sky.

The entourage behind Xie Hong carried an oil-paper umbrella for him and entered the palace one after the other.

The wind is not small, and the rain curtain is swept away in the wind, and after staying outside for a long time, the paper umbrella has almost become an ornament, but the loyal servants behind him are still holding it with all their hearts.

"Alfalfa, that's it!"

The two came to the door of a palace, Xie Hong climbed the stairs and turned around and waved his sleeves to the servants behind him: "Go out and tell Qingfeng, it's raining heavily, don't wait, hurry back, and come back to pick me up later!" ”

"Yes." The young servant behind him nodded politely to the sergeants guarding around him as he turned around, and then slowly walked away in the mud.

Xie Hong looked into the hall, the sky was gloomy, and it was slightly dark inside. The door of the temple was like a deep hole, full of unknowns.

His hands were rubbed together, and the slippery and sticky feeling of his palms came from rain or sweat.

With a flick of the hem, Xie Hong stepped into the hall.

……

At the same time, in the harem, Empress Cao suddenly fell ill.

A cough that became more rapid than one burst was incessant, and the palace maids and eunuchs looked panicked and upset!

Suddenly, Empress Cao's eyes burst out, and her face suddenly turned purple, and then turned pale. Like a stranded fish, she tried to get some air in with her mouth wide open, her chest heaving violently, but in vain!

After the last horrible pump, her head tilted, and she didn't know what to do.

There was a deathly silence in the hall, and after a long time, a palace maid's voice with a crying voice sounded: "Quick! Go and tell the salvo shot! Empress Cao can't do itβ€”"

……

Xie Hong changed his previous estrangement today, which surprised Qi Shanxing. But he has reason to believe that Xie Hong is friendly today - Xie Hong has always been a villain who goes with the flow and has never lived only for himself.

"Qi Servant Shooting, then it will be decided for the time being, and the ceremony in two days will save the ring of inviting the jade seal of the country!"

Qi Shanxing nodded.

He has never gotten the heirloom jade seal, which is his pain and his fear.

Xie Hong, the official, is actually a dispensable one.

Localities should have magistrates, but Xia Guo is not as vast as the Tang Dynasty or the former Sui Dynasty, and each place must be managed layer by layer and reported level by level. Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, has only one Zhouzhou, so Xie Hong's local official is redundant.

Although redundant, Dou Jiande didn't want to remove him.

Dou Jiande's ambitions do not stop there, of course, he hopes that one day he can dominate China and become the master of the world. Therefore, Xie Hong, a person who is extremely familiar with Zhaozhou, has been retained.

Although Xie Hong is "expensive" as a thorn history, his subordinates no longer have any governors of any prefecture and county, just such a bare thorn history, saying that the city lord is promoting him.

Qi Shanxing's thoughts were somewhat influenced by Dou Jiande, and he also felt that this Xie Hong should stay in case of emergency. It's a pity that since Dou Jiande's defeat, Xie Hong has been ambiguous and unclear.

Qi Shanxing couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, and he didn't bother to care about him - the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country alone were enough for him to have a headache.

Especially the day before yesterday, the thief who rescued King Qin from his own hands suddenly appeared in the palace, which simply kept him awake all night! It must have been sent by the King of Qin! He promised King Qin to surrender the whole country, but now he knows his plan to turn back...... You can't let this thief out to report the news, you can't!

So, he sent the elite to look around, but he couldn't find any trace of the thief, so he had to block the entire Zhouzhou, making it difficult for him to fly!

Coupled with Liu Heimin's return, he felt that his strategy of manipulating Xinjun behind the scenes did not seem to be very safe.

Who knew that he suddenly received a handwritten letter from Xie Hong last night, saying that he was willing to make suggestions for the enthronement ceremony and do his best. Sure enough, Xie Hong came to the door this morning, and he also offered his strategy to show his loyalty to the new monarch!

This is undoubtedly good news for Qi Shanxing, Xie Hong is willing to become a family with him, of course, it is the best!

He patiently listened to Xie Hong's nonsense, and made suggestions, from the new monarch to the people's livelihood in the future, no one he was interested in. Later, finally Xie Hong's words caught his attention.

"There is no heirloom jade seal, so you don't need it."

Qi Shanxing thought about it for a long time, and finally stood up like an initiation, his eyes were full of eagerness!

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a little eunuch hurried in.

"Shoot the servant, shoot the servant-no-go - Empress Cao has a sudden illness, and it looks like she's going to die-"

"What?" The flame in Qi Shanxing's eyes immediately turned into ice.

"Where's the Imperial Doctor?"

"No matter how much you knock on the door of the two imperial doctors, you can't knock open!"

"What's going on!"

Qi Shanxing was furious, and seemed to smell the smell of conspiracy. But before he could figure out what was going on, Xie Hong hurriedly said: "My wife and brother were injured, and the house invited a miracle doctor a few days ago, why don't you please come into the palace to use it?" ”
