"Zitai, can you find out the news of your uncle on this trip?" Xiao Zong hurriedly asked, Zitai closed the door of the room and whispered, "My lord, the prince of the county is now in the Northern Wei Dynasty, worshiping the history of Yongzhou and guarding Guanzhong." Xiao Zong breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked urgently, "Very good, what does your uncle mean?" Zitai was afraid that the wall had ears, so he went up with his ears and muttered, Xiao Zong applauded with great joy, paced and thought for a long time, and then lowered his eyebrows and ordered, "Go quickly to protect the safety of the virtuous brother, and please come to the house to meet at the beginning of tomorrow." Zitai retreated.

Zhu An, Zitai, a faithful strategist beside Xiao Zong, smart and strategic, with a hundred plans, has been serving Xiao Zong for eight years, and was ordered to secretly go to the Northern Wei Dynasty three months ago to explore Xiao Zong's uncle Xiao Baochun (yi

Whereabouts. But it is said that this Xiao Baochun is Xiao Zong's own father Xiao Baojuan's half-brother, when Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan won the world, killed the royal family of Southern Qi, when Xiao Baochun was the king of Jian'an, fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, Feng Danyang County Duke, married the daughter of Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong Princess Nanyang as his wife, half a year ago the Northern Wei Dynasty Qinzhou rebelled, and then transferred to Yongzhou Assassin Shi to defend Guanzhong.

At the beginning of the next day, when it was just dark, a carriage was parked in front of the Assassin's Mansion, Zitai dismounted first, and after saying a few words to the guards guarding the door, he hurriedly greeted the carriage, and then a man got down from the carriage, mink fur, and the low brim of his hat almost covered his entire face.

Zitai introduced him into the wing, and Xiao Zong, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to worship, "But Brother Xian??" The man hung his head and glanced around, then lifted his hat and crown, stared at Xiao Zong and said, "Xiao Lie, the son of Yongzhou Thorn History, visited Brother Wang..."

Xiao Lie is the son of Xiao Baokun, that is, Xiao Zong's cousin, because Xiao Baochun had fled the Northern Wei Dynasty before Xiao Zong was born, and Xiao Lie was born to Princess Nanyang, so the two have never met.

The two brothers were happy to see each other, chatting cordially, and suddenly sighed, Xiao Zong said, "My father is gone, but I have been in the dark for more than 20 years, and I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors!" Xiao Lie comforted, "Don't be sad, brother Xian, it's not too late to understand your life experience... Although my father is in the heart of the northern country, he is in the southern dynasty, why not think about supporting the clan and reviving the ancestors, but unfortunately he did not wait for the great opportunity... Now, if you have the help of the virtuous brothers, when the opportunity is ripe, you will definitely be able to recover the world of Qi ancestors, and the great cause will be accomplished! Xiao Zong's blood boiled when he heard this, and he asked Xiao Lie to sit down and ask for details.

After talking for more than two hours, Xiao Lie got up to say goodbye, "Now that the two dynasties are rising again, the foolish brother can't stay for a long time, and he will return to the Northern Wei Dynasty immediately, brother Xian... There will be a period later! Xiao Zong didn't dare to keep him for a long time, and after the order, he ordered Zitai on the side to send Xiao Lie out of the city gate overnight and guard him until the border between the North and the South.

But said that the last time the two officials who escorted Xiang Lin lost Xiang Lin and hurried back to Jiankang, and informed the court lieutenant of Xiang Lin's escape, Xie Shen knew about it and played Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan was furious, and ordered each state and county to prepare a sea fishing document, vowing to arrest and kill Xiang Lin, Bo Chen, who heard the rumor, hurriedly wrote a letter, and sent someone to send it to Xiao Zong, Xiao Zong called Lin to ask for details after he knew, and did not dare to hide the reason for Daoming's inner reasoning from Lin, Xiao Zong intended to protect him, and then personally drafted a letter to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan made a resignation order, As for who got in the way, Xiao Yan did not investigate.

Two days later, Zheng Xun, the assassin of Dongyangzhou, visited, and there was a daughter by his side, who was his daughter Zheng Xiaoqiao. Xiao Zong has been in a good mood recently, and he called in for an interview without asking too much, and when he walked to the door of the guest hall, Zheng Xun motioned to his daughter to wait outside the door, and he entered the hall to meet first.

After the visit, Xiao Zong invited him to sit down, "What is the important matter for Lord Zheng here?" Zheng Xun got up and said, "Back to my lord, a few days ago, the lower official was really unable to get rid of the empty space because of his official duties, so he delayed the important matter of Ling Ai's first birthday, and asked your lord to forgive me..."

"Adults are too worried, celebrations are small, official affairs are big, what is the crime? Adults don't have to be formal, come on, sit down and talk~" Zheng Xun sat down but had a sad face, as if he had something else to say, Xiao Zong noticed and asked, Zheng Xun got up and bowed again, "My lord is aware of everything, and the lower officials do have something to tell him, but... It's just a little hard to speak..."Xiao Zong smiled, and was about to ask what was so difficult, but Zheng Xiaoqiao, who was outside the door, came in by himself, neither spoke nor worshipped, and twisted his neck to look around as if no one was around.

Zheng Xun was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, "Evil obstacles! Who let you in! Still.. Why don't you pay a visit to your lordship! After saying that, he knelt on the ground first, but Zheng Xiaoqiao slowly returned to his senses and bowed, "The little girl greets the adult..."Zheng Xun hurriedly took over the conversation, "The little girl is reckless and rude, offending the majesty of the adult, and the subordinate is willing to be punished!" Xiao Zong seemed to be stunned by this bold and reckless intruder, neither angry nor scolded, staring at her and slowly getting up and approaching.

"What a bold woman, do you know what this is?"

"The big one is the assassination of the Shifu, and the small one is just a class."

"Then do you know who this official is?"

"The big one is the prince and the prince, and the small one is just a state assassin."

"Oh? Are you guilty? ”

"The big ones are on the ground, and the small ones are just rude."

Xiao Zong didn't ask again, looked around her body carefully, and then held up her chin and stared at each other, seeing her sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, Zheng Xiaoqiao also slowly raised his eyes to stare at Xiao Zong, his eyes were bright, like ripples, rippling in spring, and he couldn't see a trace of fear.

"My lord, can you allow the little woman to get up?" Zheng Xiaoqiao still paid homage for a while, and he couldn't hold back and said. Xiao Zong was stunned when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing, sat back in the chair and motioned for her to get up, "Interesting, really interesting!" I didn't expect Master Zheng to have such a daughter! Zheng Xun was so frightened that he didn't say anything for a long time, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "The little girl is young and natural, I beg the adults not to worry about her, and beg for forgiveness!" Xiao Zong smiled and gave Zheng Xiaoqiao a look, and Zheng Xiaoqiao immediately walked to his father's side and helped him up.

"How far is the love of the year?"

"The little girl is twenty years old..."

"Not married?"

"Unmarried..."

"Didn't you come to the door to say kiss?"

"There are a few, why can't the little girl look down on them..."

"Why did the adults bring the little girl?"

"I'm not afraid of adult jokes, the little girl is lively and active, and she can't be locked up in the Burrow's house, and this time she is clamoring to come to Yanzhou to play, and the lower officials have no choice but to allow her to accompany her..."

"My lord's words are wrong, I think of Lili rivers and mountains in the land of Nanliang, there are countless beautiful scenery, so that love is so cheerful and honest, and it is loved, how can I not hold back my illness when I am locked up in the house!"

Xiao Zong laughed, Zheng Xun responded again and again, and then several people walked out of the guest hall together, Zheng Xun ordered the servants to carry the congratulatory gifts to the wing room and leave. "If you have a heart, how can this official have no intention...", all confused, like a mirror, Xiao Zong looked at the figure of Zheng Xun's father and daughter Yingying smiled, and after returning to the hall, he paced and thought for a long time, and then walked towards his mother Wu Shuyuan's room.
