Chapter 178: Protecting the Calf

When Su Xiaoqi came out, Su Jiu'er stood alone outside the door, looking at the starry sky with tears in her eyes.

After hearing the movement behind her, she turned around slowly, barely squeezing out a smile. Su Xiaoqi also smiled, in fact, there were tears on his face.

After Su Xiaoqi eased his mind, he asked, "Where is my father?"

Su Jiu'er said casually: "The Pavilion Master is here, it seems that there is something very important. By the way, my father said that this year's couplet should be written by you, brother. ”

Su Xiaoqi was stunned, staring at Su Jiu'er with a pair of eyes, Su Jiu'er was really "qgren", and it didn't seem like he was playing tricks on him.

Su Xiaoqi still said in disbelief: "Father really said that?"

Su Jiu'er nodded, "Seventh brother, if you don't believe it, you can ask him yourself when your father comes back later, and besides, your father asked you to accompany him tonight to keep the New Year, and I'll go to rest first." ”

After she walked a few steps, she stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "The Pavilion Master should have left by this time, Seventh Brother, you can go directly to the Imperial Study." ”

When Su Xiaoqi came to the imperial study, Sima Jia had indeed left, and only His Majesty the Emperor was standing alone in the study, not knowing what to think, but without waiting for Su Xiaoqi to speak, he smiled first and said, "Coming?"

Su Xiaoqi nodded and saluted.

His Majesty the Emperor walked to the desk, lifted a pen, and beckoned to Su Xiaoqi, Su Xiaoqi looked at it, and felt bad in his heart, it seemed that Jiu'er did not lie to him.

As far as the handwriting of his earthworm crawling, the couplets he wrote, it's okay to deal with those reckless people in Panyang Town, where is this, this is the palace inside, and the people who come in and out are all literary heroes and Confucians, if you really let yourself write couplets and post them, isn't it a joke?

Although his heart was weak, he still walked up hard, but fortunately, his father did not hand him the pen, but directly put the pen on the paper on the desktop, the pen was slow but smooth, in one go.

While writing, the emperor asked: "From Fanyang Town to here, tens of thousands of miles away, what do you feel about what you have seen and heard along the way?"

Su Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Erchen still sees too little and doesn't dare to say anything. ”

The emperor nodded, stopped his pen, looked at the ink that had not dried, and asked casually, "In your opinion, how can you be called a qualified monarch?"

At this moment, Su Xiaoqi was really sweating on his forehead, and began to think about how to answer in his heart.

His Majesty the Emperor took the calligraphy aside, spread out another piece of rice paper, and continued to put down the pen, while saying: "As a monarch, benevolence and righteousness are indispensable, but in addition to benevolence and righteousness, we must also learn to play treachery, not only to be kind, but also to be fierce, to conspire with one hand, to conspire with the other, to learn to be a virtuous corporal, to be virtuous, to be virtuous, but also to be ruthless with an iron fist, and to kill decisively......"

Su Xiaoqi listened and remembered.

After His Majesty the Emperor finished writing the notebook, he handed the pen to Su Xiaoqi, and said with a smile: "Listen to the pavilion master, the killing intent in your pen is rare in the world, and this year's couplet in Zhaoyang Hall will be written by you, and let those civil and military officials see how my son Su Yuanfang is both civil and military." ”

Su Xiaoqi took the pen and froze in place.

For the first time, Su Xiaoqi felt that writing was even more powerless than facing a powerhouse in the Realm of Delusion, and the paper and brush actually made a teenager who was not afraid of the demon of the Realm of Delusion feel afraid.

Su Yuanfang patted Su Xiaoqi's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can write as much as you want, if you really can't write well, just replace it with the pair of fathers and emperors." ”

Su Xiaoqi began to put pen to paper, and Su Yuan was convenient to point behind him, the father and son were actually no different from the father and son of ordinary people's families.

After wasting an unknown number of precious pieces of rice paper, he finally wrote a couplet that Su Xiaoqi thought he could barely read, ten big characters, "Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away." ”

Su Yuanfang looked at these big characters, his mood was large, and he directly ordered the guards outside to take out this couplet overnight to gild, and specially ordered that it must be hung in front of the door of Zhaoyang Hall before dawn.

After that, the father and son sat on the threshold of the imperial study, and talked about whatever they thought, which could be regarded as keeping the New Year. During this period, Su Xiaoqi asked a lot of things about his mother, and Su Yuanfang also answered them one by one, from how they met, all the way to the land of the Northern Cold, and also talked about Su Rufan, a character who can make countless sect prisons frightened.

After that, Su Xiaoqi said that he wanted to go to the Northern Cold Land to see, Su Yuanfang did not refuse, but asked Su Xiaoqi to go to the school palace for half a year first, and wait for the end of the school palace Chunqiu's course, and also told Su Xiaoqi a lot of benefits of the school palace.

Su Xiaoqi naturally happily agreed, half a year is not a long time, and Bai Qing and they also need to settle down, this time to go to the northern cold land, it is dangerous, he naturally can't let these children follow him to take risks, there is no such master in the world.

Let them be here, have a father, and a little sister to help take care of them, not to mention brocade clothes and food, at least they have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't have to wander around with them, their lives may be in danger at any time.

Moreover, I only got together with my father and sister, how can there be a reason to leave after seeing each other, so let alone half a year, it is actually too little, but there are some things that Su Xiaoqi must do.

In the land of the Northern Cold, it must be gone, and after that, he has to go to Yun Suyin, even if it is difficult and dangerous, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Su Xiaoqi must go, this is what he promised her.

At the beginning, Sima Jia asked Su Xiaoqi whether he wanted to be the emperor of the world or a cultivator immortal, but in fact, Su Xiaoqi hadn't thought about it until now, or rather, he was actually not ready to accept the identity of the "Seventh Prince", let alone think about the king of a country, at least until he found Yun Suyin, he would not think about these things.

Because it was the recent start of the Spring Festival in the Xue Palace, as early as before Su Xiaoqi arrived, there were already many royal relatives, dignitaries, and grandchildren, and they brought their seed grandchildren to the imperial city, so many royal post houses were already full, even if there were occasional vacancies, they were reserved for some noble children, so Sima Jia could only arrange Bai Qing and others to a post house not far from the imperial city.

At this moment, in the post house, a group of children are confronting each other with a group of noble children of the Shendu, all of them are red-faced and red-eared, gritting their teeth, and it seems that they may fight at any time, and it is that kind of non-stop situation.

In fact, it's not a big deal, that is, when eating, Bai Qing's style is a little arrogant, and naturally some people can't get used to it, so they want to teach Bai Qing a lesson, who knows that stealing chickens doesn't make rice, but Bai Qing calculated, and made a lot of jokes, these aristocratic children were naturally angry, and began to blow up their identities, wanting Bai Qing and a few people to admit their mistakes.

Who knew that these guys from other places actually said that they were the apprentices of the Seventh Prince, of course no one would believe it, those noble children still mocked with words, and some said that even if their master was really the Seventh Prince, now that the Seventh Prince has returned to the Divine Capital, he will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so he doesn't want them, otherwise he will leave them here, and some are even more daring, outside this imperial city, he dares to say something, "You said that your master is the Seventh Prince, and I also said that my father is His Majesty the Emperor, who believes it?"

In this way, Bai Qing and the others naturally couldn't stop, insulting them could do it, but insulting their master just wouldn't work, so during this period, Bai Qing even shot and injured two people, but was stopped by Fang Xinrui, saying that the master had just returned to Shendu, and those of them who were disciples couldn't add chaos to the master, so Bai Qing gave up.

But those noble children were beaten, so naturally they couldn't give up easily, and they had to ask for an explanation for everything, which formed the current situation of sabre-rattling.

Su Xiaoqi was busy all morning, all kinds of court etiquette, cumbersome and complicated, everything had to be learned, and he had to entertain those royal relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings with Su Yuanfang, which could be said to be very busy.

I didn't have relatives before, I always wanted to have relatives, but now it's good, those who can't be beaten by the eight poles come to recognize their relatives, but it makes Su Xiaoqi a little bored, no, it's hard to get out, I just want to go and see my disciples, Su Jiu'er has nothing to do, so she has to follow, and Su Xiaoqi can only take her with her.

Today, Su Jiu'er did not wear armor, but changed into a light blue long jacket and washed a snow-white mink cloak, showing her wealth, coupled with her innate royal temperament, people will be in awe when they see it.

And Su Xiaoqi was still wearing an ordinary cyan gown, carrying the oil-paper umbrella, which was no different from when he came.

The two walked into the post house side by side, and saw this scene, when a noble child was shouting loudly, "My father is in charge of the imperial city's baggage, if you don't give this son an explanation today, hum ......."

Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded behind him, "I don't know what kind of statement this son of Lord Assassin Shi wants?"

When everyone looked back, they saw a man and a woman walking into the post house, and after Bai Qing and the others saw Su Xiaoqi, they immediately raised their eyebrows and shouted in unison: "Master." ”

Su Xiaoqi smiled, stepped forward slowly, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Huang Cheng had actually followed the two senior brothers to shout with these noble children before, but now when he saw his master, he suddenly felt aggrieved, and pouted: "I was about to eat, and I met these guys." ”

Those aristocratic children looked Su Xiaoqi up and down, and laughed randomly, "This is your master, the seventh son of our empire?

The rest of the people in the inn also nodded their heads and began to point fingers and discuss different things.

Su Xiaoqi didn't speak yet, but Su Jiu'er said: "Then you should tell me, what should our seventh son look like, have you seen it?"

Someone said proudly: "That's natural, when the seventh prince first came to Shendu, he fought with the governor of Yuwei, and this prince was present at the time, and he saw it with his own eyes." ”

Su Jiu'er nodded and asked, "Who did you just say your father called?"

This young man's eyes kept wandering over Su Jiu'er, and he said proudly: "Do you know the thorn history who is in charge of the yellow orange baggage, even the Metropolitan Governor of Yuwei usually has to give my father a few thin noodles." ”

Su Jiu'er was surprised: "Awesome!"

Before the young man could make a smug expression, he slapped Su Jiu'er and fell to the ground, his cheeks were crimson, his mouth was spitting blood, and he didn't know how many teeth he had lost.

Su Jiu'er still didn't give up, with his right foot, a stool slashed over, and slammed into the young man, the stool shattered entirely, and the poor guy rubbed the ground and slashed backwards, hitting a pillar before stopping, but he was already dizzy.

Su Jiu'er's sudden move, even Su Xiaoqi was startled, those noble children involuntarily retreated, and the guests in the post house were also stunned, looking soft and weak on the woman's appearance, but this shot was inevitably too strong, and the fight was still the son of an assassin Shi, and his courage was inevitably too great.

Su Jiu'er looked at the guy who was lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and said coldly: "The son of a little assassin also dares to talk about the members of the royal family, he has a pair of dog eyes, and he doesn't even know this princess, and he dares to speak out here." ”

The post house has been observing the movements here, and the post house naturally knows something about the identities of Bai Qing's people, after all, it was the pavilion master who sent them, and the reason why he didn't come forward was because the identities of the two parties were very special, and they forcibly stood in the middle, and neither side was pleased, so they made trouble, anyway, in the end, no one would blame them for these small fish and shrimp.

But now that there are such two people, since this group of children is called the young master with an oil-paper umbrella on his back, then there must be no doubt that it is really the seventh prince, and this woman calls herself the ninth princess, so there will be no fake.

As soon as he thought of this, he dared to think about it, and directly fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain doesn't know that the Ninth Princess and the Seventh Prince are driving, it's really a crime that deserves death." ”

After a short period of stunnedness, everyone also knelt down, and the children of the nobles who had had disputes with Bai Qing and the others before were even more trembling one by one, especially the young man who was beaten extremely miserably by Su Jiu'er, also got up from the ground at once, and his whole body was prostrate on the ground, trembling like sifting chaff.

Su Jiu'er waved her hand and said: "Get out, today's matter, this princess will slowly settle with your family in the future, don't report luck, after you go back, let your fathers think about how to give this princess an explanation, when the time comes, if you people are missing, hehe......"

Everyone hurriedly kowtowed, banging.

Su Xiaoqi smiled helplessly, didn't say anything about it, looked at his several disciples, frowned, and said, "Why, the skills that the master taught you are all in vain, such a group of wine bags and rice bags can make you angry like this?"

Bai Qing just wanted to argue, but Su Xiaoqi continued: "I gave you the knife, I took the knife and bullied others, you Bai Qing is really okay, don't you usually scream more fiercely than anyone else, why, the master is not there, so he coaxed it?"

Fang Xinrui opened his mouth and said, "Master......"

Su Xiaoqi raised his eyes to look at him, and he lowered his head.

Su Xiaoqi said coldly: "Out of breath, your junior brother doesn't dare, and you don't dare to be a senior brother?" Or is it that the master is not here, and you can't even pull out the sword?"

Fang Xinrui's head was buried lower.

Su Xiaoqi looked at Huang Cheng again, "And you, as soon as the master comes, he will be pitiful, like you, how can he walk the rivers and lakes instead of the master in the future, punish the evil and promote the good?"

Su Xiaoqi suddenly smiled and said: "In the future, if you meet someone like this, you will beat me to death, and whoever wants to take revenge, let him come to the master." ”21
