In the early morning, Xu Rui finally dragged his tired body out of the palace gate, and Emperor Hongwei stood on the terrace and stared into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Shun silently walked behind the emperor, gently put on a big coat for him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you really let the champion marquis serve as the marriage envoy, aren't you afraid that he will be self-defeating, but will provoke great changes in the grassland?" ”

Emperor Hongwei came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "It's rare that this kid takes the initiative to ask for a time, how can I cool his heart to serve the country?" ”

Wang Shun was stunned: "But you asked him to take the entire Apocalypse Guard, I'm afraid that the Hou Ye is young and vigorous, and it will inevitably cause a storm." ”

Emperor Hongwei shook his head: "If he wants to make trouble, let him make trouble, Wuliji is really not like words, it's good if someone can knock and beat him......"

Wang Shun opened his mouth and waited to say more, but Emperor Hongwei swept in a cold eye, which suddenly made him dare not say more.

"I'm tired, let's call it up today, and tell someone to clean up the south study."

Emperor Hongwei looked away, gave a faint command, and then strode towards the dormitory.

An hour later, a holy decree that shocked the court came out - Xu Rui was appointed by Emperor Hongwei as a marriage envoy, and led all the Heavenly Apocalypse guards to escort Princess Qixia to marry Uliji Khan.

As soon as the decree was issued, everyone was shocked.

It is said that Xu Rui is more than enough to be a marriage envoy regardless of his title or position, but with his relationship with Princess Qixia, no one will not worry that he will turn the grassland upside down.

Moreover, Xu Rui was imprisoned by Emperor Hongwei before, and almost all camps were looking forward to his death, and there were countless people who stumbled behind him.

After the last conflict with the crown prince, Xu Rui has left others with the impression that he is young and vigorous, and he will be revenged, and this exoneration should naturally be revenged, how not to make those forces who have been hacked tremble?

But at this time, Xu Rui didn't have the time to retaliate against anyone, and now his mind was full of how to kill that damn Uliji Khan and take Qingwu back to Changxing safely.

The steppe cavalry came and went like the wind, and the vast and boundless prairie was the best battlefield, in that kind of place, if the 15,000 Apocalypse Guards alone were not mobile enough, it would be almost as difficult as a fool's dream.

When he returned to Liu's Mansion, Cao Siyuan, Zhang Zuofeng, An Ge, Lin Shaodong, Guo Shengbao, and the core children of the Yuan family all arrived.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for Xu Rui to come back in the side hall, and when they saw him push open the door, they stood up almost at the same time.

"Lord!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Young Master!"

"Dashuai!"

Different titles were shouted out from everyone's mouths, making Xu Rui laugh.

Xu Rui pressed his hand towards everyone and said, "Sit down......"

So saying, he was the first to step up to the throne and prepare to sit down.

But at this moment, Yuan Zixiong suddenly walked up to him and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, please take a step to speak." ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, glanced around everyone, and found that except for Zhang Zuofeng, the others did not show any hint of surprise, obviously they had already passed their anger.

Xu Rui pondered for a moment and nodded, confessed his guilt to everyone, and led Yuan Zixiong through the screen to the back room.

Yuan Zixiong cautiously closed the door, looked around again, and was relieved to see that no one was eavesdropping.

Xu Rui looked funny when he looked funny, and couldn't help but joke: "Master Yuan, what big thing can make you like a thief?" ”

Yuan Zixiong didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and suddenly slammed towards Xu Rui.

Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yuan Zixiong raised his head and said solemnly: "The lord is in danger this time, once the lord has an accident, my Yuan family will inevitably be beaten back to the prototype, this gift is to thank the lord for saving the Yuan family again." ”

Xu Rui frowned: "Here it is again, how many times have I said it, I and your Yuan family are mutually beneficial." ”

Yuan Zixiong nodded and said, "Maybe it's also cold lips and teeth." ”

Xu Rui looked at Yuan Zixiong's solemn gaze, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked, "What does the Yuan family master want to say?" ”

Yuan Zixiong said: "After this great disaster, hasn't the lord discovered an important problem? ”

Xu Rui frowned and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Yuan Zixiong said: "The lord seems to be indestructible, but he has a great weakness on his body, once the enemy grasps this weakness, the lord has almost no power to fight back. ”

Xu Rui had already roughly guessed what he wanted to say when he heard this, but he still asked, "It's so serious, let's talk about what the weakness is." ”

Yuan Zixiong said: "The lord is too dependent on today's saint, not too dependent, it can be said that he has handed over his wealth and life, once he turns his face, or the emperor who succeeds to the throne does not have a deep relationship with the lord, then the lord may not be able to gain a foothold in this world at all."

Lord, you are only nineteen years old, what emperor in this world can tolerate a minister so young and with such power? If the emperor can't tolerate you and wants to kill you, you won't have the slightest room to resist. ”

Xu Rui sighed when he heard this: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, who does the saint want to let die, and who can really resist?" Don't say it's me, even if it's the Martial Saint Hong Metropolitan Governor, what can I do? ”

Yuan Zixiong shook his head and said: "You are different from Governor Hong, Governor Hong doesn't have this opportunity, let alone this means, but if you want to protect yourself, no one can harm you at all!" ”

Xu Rui pointed to his nose and smiled dumbly: "I'm more powerful than the Martial Saint?" Master Yuan, you still think too highly of me. ”

Yuan Zixiong said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to pretend in front of the old man, with the old man's understanding of the lord, you will never tolerate being tripped by the same stone twice, this time you have suffered such a big loss, do you really have no idea?" ”

Xu Rui said helplessly: "That's the emperor, even if I have an idea, what can I do?" ”

Yuan Zixiong looked left and right when he heard this, approached Xu Rui and whispered: "Take advantage of this opportunity to go to the northwest, lay down a piece of the world, and establish yourself as the king!" ”

Xu Rui's face changed: "Is this your own meaning, or is it someone else's meaning?" ”

Yuan Zixiong naturally understood Xu Rui's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, this matter is the old man's intention alone, although he talked to everyone, but the old man only said that let the adults lay the foundation, and did not mention the matter of self-reliance." ”

Xu Rui breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "You, you might as well make it clear today that Ben Hou has no intention of being self-reliant, and don't mention this matter again in the future!" ”

After speaking, Xu Rui stood up with a gloomy face and walked towards the outhouse.

"Lord!"

Yuan Zixiong suddenly roared, and Xu Rui subconsciously stopped.

Yuan Zixiong gritted his teeth and whispered towards Xu Rui's back: "Lord, even if you don't want to be self-reliant, it is imperative to lay a foundation and leave a way back for yourself."

Now that the battle for the succession between the DPRK and China is intensifying, it has become more and more difficult for you to be caught in the middle, how long can the Saint's absolute control of the court situation last? Once the situation in the court shows signs of getting out of control, will the Holy Lord still be so assured of your existence?

Maybe you don't have to wait until the Holy Heavens go to the West, and you'll be in great trouble! ”

Xu Rui was silent for a moment, and finally didn't speak, shook his head and continued to walk out.

"Lord!"

Yuan Zixiong shouted again: "Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you want to think about Princess Qixia and everyone?" Don't you really want to leave a trail for these people who follow you, and for the industrial development that is currently in the ascendant? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Rui was shocked, and his pace of progress suddenly stopped.

Yuan Zixiong looked at Xu Rui with blank eyes, and the two of them were motionless like two sculptures.

After a while, Xu Rui sighed, and said without looking back: "Go and get ready, you will set off with the army this time!" ”

With that, he pushed open the door of the back room and walked out first.

Yuan Zixiong's hands trembled violently when he heard this, and he burst into tears in an instant.
