Although Xiao Changhui had mentioned it to him once, and Yue Qianqiu said it again, Zhen Rong always felt that the former was just a joke, although Yue Qianqiu said that it was serious, but if this matter is to be operated, it must be carefully planned and arranged. But he never expected that Xiao Changheng would directly mention it so arrogantly in front of the emperor!

Without any pretense of pretense, his face was shocked to the point of sluggishness.

And he was also taken aback, as well as the Northern Yan Emperor. Although he had always known that this upstart he had raised by himself was a man of his own course, the proposal was so unexpected that he subconsciously wanted to scold. But seeing Xiao Changhui's indifferent smile on his face, he suddenly put away his anger and asked lightly, "Why did you suddenly have this intention?" ”

"It's not sudden, in fact, the previous ministers have been pondering the intentions of the emperor and the king of Jin towards the attitude of the Southern Dynasty mission."

Yue Xiaosi was not afraid of the emperor's cold face that could scare others to death, and said with a smile: "The emperor took Yue Qianqiu to swagger through the market, and the father and son are commensurate." King Jin also took Yue Qianqiu and Zhen Rong to swagger through the market, and even asked two people to call their uncle. Our Dayan is full of talents, and the emperor and the king of Jin are not simply to cherish talents, so the minister feels that this move may be an attitude, an eclectic attitude towards employing people. ”

"Although Xu Houcong led the entire Shengong Gate to defect to my Dayan, which made the Southern Dynasty angry and ruined, and made my Dynasty rejoice, this is still different from the fact that there are people in the Southern Dynasty mission who are willing to stay and live with the warriors of our Dynasty and fight the rebellion together. Chen really admires Zhen Rong, he is not like Yue Qianqiu's boy who is slick and ghostly, he is calm, tenacious, and brave, since such a son Chen can't be born, then of course he will earn one if he catches one. ”

The emperor was amused by Yue Xiaosi's tone of treating the birth of a son as if he was buying something, and seeing that Zhen Rong was still in a daze, he said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that one day he will be stabbed in the back by him?" Aren't you afraid that one day you will lose your head in your sleep? ”

"Chen has always been very confident in his vision." Yue Xiaosi's face was calm and calm, "Zhen Rong is not that kind of person. ”

"You're confident." The emperor smiled, then glanced at Zhen Rong, and asked lightly, "Zhen Rong, you are now a guilty person, but the king of Lanling County is not only willing to guarantee you, but also wants to accept you as a righteous son, you can say it yourself, whether you are willing or not." ”

"I ......" Zhen Rong opened his mouth, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to!" ”

He didn't dare to look at Xiao Changhui's expression, lest he see the heartache and disappointment in the other party's eyes. He knew that he was very sorry for everyone's hard work, but in those days and nights of desperate fighting, the unwillingness and reluctance that he had been pressing in the bottom of his heart were all completely vented, and now he just wanted to speak and do things according to his own will.

Therefore, he tried his best not to squint, even if the emperor's eyes turned cold, he was not afraid at all: "I am a disciple of Qingcheng, the master raised me and taught me, and many seniors have high hopes for me, I can't recognize a thief as my father because I was abandoned for a while, and I can't turn my back on my country because of a tattoo of unknown origin!" ”

Yue Xiaosi couldn't help but cover his face. The words "recognizing a thief as a father" are really not good, but how thick-skinned is his face, can this little bit hurt him? Not only that, Zhen Rong's attitude of refusing to betray really moved him, he covered the smile in his eyes with his palm, and only felt more satisfied than before.

A disheartened Zhen Rong who is about to change his banner is only as valuable in the eyes of the emperor. However, a young man who is obviously not afraid of life and death, but is regarded as an abandoned son but refuses to let go of the past, may get a certain amount of reward for that ambition.

Moreover, such a plot is more reasonable than the previous design!

"Huh!" The emperor sneered, and his voice became extremely cold, "Since you said that you don't want to die, then I won't kill you." Since you said that you are not willing to accept the kindness of the king of Lanling, then I will not force you. Nian is in Lanling County King to intercede for you, he cherishes talents, and the death penalty can be avoided, so you go to him to be a riding slave! ”

As soon as these words came out, the left and right sides were all dumbfounded, and most of them felt sorry for Zhen Rong. The good prince of the county refused to be a slave, but he refused, and now he is reduced to being a slave, why is this difficult?

"Thank you for the emperor's success!"

While he lowered his hand and agreed, Zhen Rong only felt relieved. He had to stay in Beiyan, but he didn't want to take the road arranged by others, but was willing to take the hardest and most dangerous road!

Yue Xiaosi put down the hand that was covering his forehead just now, and looked at the emperor with a look of astonishment in his eyes. Faced with this son-in-law who was smooth and interesting, always unexpected, but didn't care much about it before, the emperor smiled slightly, but his tone was much more relaxed.

"You cherish talents, I left him with a life and threw it to you for discipline, what else do you want?"

Although Yue Xiaosi had some guesses just now, he didn't expect the emperor to throw people to him as riding slaves. He took a deep breath and scratched his hair with some annoyance: "The emperor can treat me as a scholar and a guard, why do you have to be a slave?" The emperor is not unaware of the customs of going to the capital, in addition to following the horseback to travel, the riding slave also has to perform miscellaneous duties such as washing the horses and cleaning the stables......

"You, Xiao Changhui, are you a person who follows customs?" Seeing that Yue Xiaosi was speechless for a moment, looking embarrassed that he was bargaining but was seen through by himself, the emperor said lightly, "It's just that I said that he is a slave, if you want to remove the miscellaneous servants in his stables, then you can ...... it."

Yue Xiaosi hurriedly clarified: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”

And as soon as his words fell, he only heard Zhen Rong say: "I will naturally do everything that a slave should do!" ”

This time, Yue Xiaosi finally threw an angry glance at the person. You don't talk to no one when you're dumb!

The emperor smiled indifferently, and then said lightly: "Just now Yanzi City sent a song, Huoshan County Lord Xiao Qingqing, together with several generals, impeached Wuwei Lieutenant Wu Rong for twelve crimes, including those involving the Qiu Hunting Division bending the law for personal gain!" Now that you, the temporary manager of the Autumn Hunting Division, are here, then take your riding slave to Swallow City to see what is going on. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhen Rong thoughtfully, and said lightly: "Xiao Qingqing's whereabouts are strange, and he has never seen the head but the tail of the dragon, and he rarely deals with people on the official side. This time, she actually clashed with a little Wuwei captain, and the captain definitely touched her scales. I know that you two have just arrived here day and night, and you can refuse to say no to this trip. ”

"The emperor's golden mouth, how dare the minister say no!" Yue Xiaosi is not so much playing treasure as playing scoundrel, "But please also ask the emperor to allow the minister to go in a carriage!" If you take a carriage, change the horses and coachmen all the way, and you can barely hold on to Swallow City! ”

As soon as Zhen Rong heard it, he knew that people were thinking about him, and he must know that he couldn't even get on horseback at this time, let alone hurry. can think that the emperor gave him to Xiao Changheng as a slave, but Xiao Changhui clearly planned to fight for him to get some more preferential treatment, he was moved and guilty in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but who knew that Xiao Changhui in front of him immediately turned around and gave him a big white eye.

"Shut up, you kid, remember your duty as a slave, do you have the right to speak now?"

A few words blocked Zhen Rong, who wanted to speak, and Yue Xiaosi looked at the emperor with a smile, with an expression of compassion and compassion for my son-in-law. And the emperor did eat his set, and after frowning, he finally waved his hand helplessly and said: "Whatever you want, as long as you don't dislike the carriage and turn you upside down!" ”

"No, no, the minister has retired."

Yue Xiaosi snorted, and when he retreated to Zhen Rong's side, he raised his leg to his shin is not a light or heavy kick, seeing that Zhen Rong first subconsciously wanted to hide, but then carried it silently, he couldn't help but angrily pick up people and walk out. It wasn't until he left the temporary palace and ordered the guards brought out by the only two to prepare the carriage and so on, that he snorted unkindly.

"Do you feel idealistic and persistent, and great?" Without waiting for Zhen Rong to answer, Yue Xiaosi spat heavily on the ground, "Phew! If the emperor is furious and wants to kill you, even if I want to get another talent, I won't fight! Do you think that every riding slave can be as lucky as General Han Shiwei? You can do those chores, and when I go on horseback, you kneel on the ground and use it as a meat stool for me, and you can do it? What's more, after being enslaved, do you think it's so easy to get out of it? ”

Seeing that Zhen Rong's face suddenly turned pale, Yue Xiaosi said angrily; "I won't spare you from the chores in the stables, and that's a lesson for you! When I travel in the future, you should follow closely, hum, you should be glad that I have not stepped on people's backs as a natural habit! As for the family register...... Anyway, I'm in charge of my people, I'll give you the household registration directly in my name, just don't make trouble for me again! ”

Seeing that the two guards had already arrived in the carriage, Yue Xiaosi left Zhen Rong, whose face was blue and white, and instructed the two: "You two take turns driving, within a day and night, I want to see Swallow City!" ”

Saying this, Yue Xiaosi caught a glimpse of Zhen Rong's expression and finally calmed down completely, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Although the emperor said that today's punishment is a bit out of line, it is still within the acceptable range, and Zhen Rong can justifiably follow him in and out every day, is it not easy to take off this title?

It was Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan...... He'd heard of this woman, but why did she come out at this time?

Thinking so in his heart, he called Zhen Rong to get into the carriage, and after letting another guard come up, Yue Xiaosi instructed lightly: "I haven't had a good rest before, when I don't have to drive for a while, I will take turns to sleep, and if I can't sleep, I have to sleep with Ning Shenxiang, I don't want the carriage to drive directly into the ditch, understand?" If you can't support it, you can just stop and say directly, I am also proficient in the craft of driving, and I can replace you! ”

"Yes, don't worry!" The two guards inside and outside the car responded at the same time, only Zhen Rong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say, but the back of his head was slapped on the back of the head.

"I know that you Qingcheng teaches everything, but I didn't teach you to drive, you just give me a good sleep! If you want to repay me, listen to me well in the future, and let you go east instead of west! Speaking of this, Yue Xiaosi sighed deeply, "If it weren't for the fact that the second egg I just recruited died in the rebellion of King Wuling, I wouldn't be so eager to recruit talents!" ”

Zhen Ronggang felt that his heart was beating uncontrollably, and he saw Yue Xiaosi's eyes squinting slightly, obviously hinting that he forcibly suppressed his doubts.

"Let's go, let's wait until we get to Swallow City!"
