Chapter 236: The road back is bumpy
"Liu Jing is dead, and the eldest princess is unpretentious to Liu Chun, what do you say is the Liu family's attitude towards the Southern Wilderness now?"
Li Mumu was now curious about whether the evil doctor was friend or foe with them.
Xiao Yan shook his head, "I went to the capital this time, and there is no one surnamed Liu in the center of power in the Southern Wilderness, and I think that now except for the silver and wealth, the Liu family has no place to help the royal family of the Southern Wilderness." ”
"So Zhou Yi also had this idea?" Li Mumu was curious.
She had heard Xiao Yan say before that Zhou Yi's mother was a small family in the Southern Wilderness, and the battle for the throne couldn't help him at all, and his mother was beaten into the cold palace after giving birth to Zhou Die because she violated the laws of the palace, and died soon after.
After that, the two brothers and sisters were fostered under the name of the concubine, but the concubine had her own child, which is His Royal Highness the current prince of the Southern Wilderness! So how can you support Zhou Yi.
When Li Mumu lamented the pitiful life experience of Zhou Yi and Zhou Die's brothers and sisters, she also felt that Zhou Yi was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised! Although the concubine is for her own reputation, she is raising Zhou Yi into a benevolent person! Li Mumu knew that in a place like the palace, it was very easy to kill a person. As long as the concubine raises Zhou Die well, she can not only complete her reputation, but also will not affect her son's status.
But the concubine didn't do this, but she left endless disasters for herself.
Xiao Yan nodded, "Zhou Yi really had this idea, otherwise he wouldn't know about the eldest princess and the evil doctor, and he would still be calling an uncle." ”
"Is that really that good location? Good enough to sit on it at all costs? ”
This is the case in Beiqin, and the same is true in Nanhuang.
Li Mumu turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, "To be honest, didn't you have any thoughts about that position?" ”
With Xiao Jiajun's prestige and status today, no one will say anything if it is reversed.
Xiao Yan shook his head, "Although my Xiao family has the talent of Anbang, but I have no ability to stabilize the country!" Since ancient times, the heights have been unbearable, and standing in that position, there are too many sacrifices," Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Li Mumu affectionately, "Such as you, such as worry-free!" I can't give it up! So I wasn't destined to fit into that position! ”
was sweetened by Xiao Yan's sudden confession, and when he heard that he was an existence that Xiao Yan couldn't give up in his heart, Li Mumu felt that his heart was as sweet as smeared honey.
The two of them rushed for three days, and Xiao Yan received a message from the secret guard.
"Ye Aoza did leave Jiangnan!"
Xiao Yan put down the note in his hand and said to Li Mumu.
Li Mumu took a wooden stick and turned over the bonfire in front of him, "Has he returned to the Valley of the Evil Doctor?" ”
"He's coming to us..."
"You mean he's following us?" Li Mumu was a little surprised, did she get a piece of dog skin plaster?
"I can't be sure~ I won't be in the imperial city for a day, and I can't be sure if he's following us for a day!"
"Even if it's it! He doesn't admit it, and there's nothing we can do! Li Mumu said, "Why do I think the Imperial City has really become a quagmire this time!" ”
If you accidentally sink into the mud, you will never get out.
"You really should be more careful when you go back!" Xiao Yan was a little cautious, although everything in the imperial city was watched by Xiao Yao, and the secret guard also passed the news to him in a timely manner, Xiao Yan was still very uneasy.
He had been away from the Imperial City for too long, and there were many unstable factors in the Imperial City.
"Okay~ Got it!" Li Mumu finally added a handful of firewood to the fire and fell asleep against the trunk of the tree.
They hurried for days, but they didn't make it to the next town after dark tonight, so they had to sleep in the wilderness!
It's just that Li Mumu is not really a delicate lady, and it's nothing to sleep in the wilderness.
Early the next morning, when Li Mumu and the others were just about to enter the city, they ran into Xiao Hanchen, who was sent out by Xiao Yao.
"Little General!" A squad leader in the Xiao family's army saluted Xiao Yan.
"Who's in the car?" Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Uncle !!" Xiao Hanchen lifted the curtain of the carriage door, tilted his head and shouted to Xiao Yan who was sitting on horseback.
"It turned out to be Chen'er!" The lines of Xiao Yan's face have also softened, and he also loves this nephew very much.
"Uncle, are you going back to Beijing?" Xiao Hanchen asked.
"Hmm!"
"Why did my dad send me away now that you're all back! Uncle, I'll go back with you, okay! ”
Xiao Hanchen is the child of Liu Yiyi and Xiao Yao.
Because Xiao Yao can't practice martial arts, Xiao Hanchen has admired his uncle who is strong in martial arts and can go into battle to kill the enemy since he was a child.
"No! When you get to Jiangnan, you have to listen to your grandmother, you know? Xiao Yan reached out and rubbed Xiao Hanchen's head.
Xiao Hanchen slumped his shoulders in frustration.
"Chen'er, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you have grown so tall?" Li Mumu stepped forward immediately, she always went to Xiao's house before, and she could always meet Xiao Hanchen when she helped Xiao Yao detoxify.
This kid is a little shy, but he is familiar with Li Mumu!
"Humph!" Xiao Hanchen snorted and twisted his face to the side.
Li Mumu looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, when did she offend this child?
"Chen'er!" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, "Don't be unreasonable! ”
"Uncle! Why are you still with this woman! Xiao Hanchen's emotions were a little excited.
"What this woman! You're going to call her Auntie! Xiao Hanchen was unreasonable to Li Mumu, and Xiao Yan was a little angry.
"What aunt!" Xiao Hanchen instantly lost control of his emotions, he pointed to Li Mumu's nose and said, "She is the murderer who killed her grandfather!" Uncle, how can you still marry him! ”
Li Mumu was shocked by Xiao Hanchen's words, she turned her head to look at Xiao Yan, "It turns out that I am already so infamous in the Xiao family?" ”
"Who told you that!" Xiao Yan's face was gloomy and could drip water.
"My mother told me! And the people in the house say the same thing! Uncle, don't be fooled by this vixen! ”
Li Mumu's eyebrows jumped, he still had the potential to be a vixen!
'Bang', Xiao Yan directly slapped Xiao Hanchen, "Feel free to listen to rumors, be rude to your elders!" Where have you learned the rules of the Xiao family? ”
Li Mumu was taken aback by Xiao Yan's sudden attack, "It's just a child, what are you doing!" ”
Li Mumu jumped off the horse and walked over to see Xiao Hanchen's face, "How are you?" Does it hurt? ”
Xiao Hanchen didn't expect his beloved uncle to beat himself for a woman who killed his grandfather, he pushed Li Mumu away fiercely, "Don't worry about it, you are a bad person!" ”
Li Mumu didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yan hurriedly got down from the horse to help her, and seeing that Xiao Yan was about to get angry again, Li Mumu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
Xiao Yan didn't get angry with Xiao Hanchen, but his eyes looked sharply at the people who served behind Xiao Hanchen, "Didn't you send the eldest young grandmother to the Zongmiao?" Why can the little master still have a connection with the big and young grandmother? Which of you is the one who gives the news? ”
The group behind Xiao Hanchen lowered their heads and trembled, for fear of provoking this Hades.
There was only one person dressed as a small maid, and he said in a low voice: "The eldest and young grandmothers just went to the temple to pray for the blessings of their families, not imprisoned, and the little young master is the son of the eldest and youngest grandmothers, why can't the young grandma have correspondence?" ”
