At this time, Xiao Mansion was inevitably celebrating, the mother and son who had been absent for a long time hugged and laughed, and also compensated for the longing that had not been seen for many days, Xiao Yu, Feng Yao, Mo Han, and Mo Tianming gathered together, and laughter also came out from time to time, and a strong family affection filled the room.

And Xiao Yun, who was supposed to be the protagonist, fell asleep alone in the study in the name of drunkenness, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

。。。

At the second watch, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and Xiao Yu entered alone, slowly walking towards Xiao Yun's soft couch.

"Dad, are you asleep?"

"Xiaoyu, are you okay?" Xiao Yun, who was preoccupied, naturally couldn't sleep, and when he heard Xiao Yu's call, he sat up.

"Dad, I don't understand the matter of His Majesty's reward today, so I asked my father to teach me. ”

"Hey... That's it. What don't you understand?" Obviously, Xiao Yun was very disgusted with today's events, and he didn't want to mention it at the moment, but now that he was asked by his youngest son, he had to solve his doubts.

"Why is my father so reluctant to the title of King of Huangling?"

"Hehe, it's not that my father rejects it, it's just that His Majesty's method of praise and disparagement makes my father unacceptable for a while. ”

"Praise and disparagement?"

"Yes, it would be nothing if Your Majesty only gave me the title of King Huangling, but he gave me the fief of Huangling County, which is obviously to expel me from the imperial capital and abide by the frontier from now on. ”

"What??? Why is that?"

"Don't you know, take the matter of other countries rewarding fiefs as an example, as long as the princes and nobles who own the fiefdom must move to the fief to live, and they cannot return to the capital without His Majesty's order. ”

"Is there such a thing? Could it be that he wants to tie up our Xiao family in Huangling County forever?"

"Hey... That's why I couldn't accept it at the time. ”

"This dog emperor, our Xiao family has laid down such a large piece of the country for him, but he will take revenge and imprison us, no! I can't swallow this breath, Dad, or you will take us back!"

"Xiaoyu, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Yun was thrilled and hurriedly interrupted him.

"What's the matter, he was unkind first, then don't blame us for being unjust!"

"What do you know! The birds hide their bows, and the cunning rabbits cook dead lackeys. This is the art of weighing as an emperor, and we, as subjects, can only abide by it, not disobey it! Do you understand it? Don't say such rebellious words in the future, otherwise you will definitely serve the family law for your father!"

"Hey... It's up to you, I don't care, as long as there is a place to cultivate, I'll be content. Xiao Yu turned around depressedly and left the study room of the main courtyard.

。。。

In the early morning of the next day, under Xiao Yun's instructions, the whole house was busy, packing up things, loading cars, and even the cooks were stepping up to prepare dry food so that they would not go hungry along the way.

And Xiao Yu also told the confused Mo Han the reason for the incident.

"What? How could Your Majesty do that!"

"Whether you believe it or not, it's time for our Xiao family to move anyway. ”

"No, I'll go with you, I really can't afford to serve this Mu Xin. ”

"Why do you come with me, Mu Xin has given you a unique compound, obviously to let you live in the imperial capital, and he will give you a charge of bullying the monarch when you leave, which is definitely enough for you to drink a pot." ”

"No, I can't go in secret, then I'll resign openly, accompany the king like a tiger, I really can't serve him with my temper. ”

With that, Mo Han hurriedly walked out of the palace and walked in the direction of the palace.

。。。

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

"Commander Mo, come, get up and speak. ”

"Your Majesty, I'd better kneel, save a while and have to kneel. ”

"Alright then, whatever you want, let's talk about something. Obviously, Mu Xin had already heard Mo Han's unhappiness, and also guessed the reason for his actions.

"Please ask Your Majesty for permission, and the lower officials are willing to move to Huangling County with the general's family to defend the border for Your Majesty. ”

"Huh?" Mu Xin frowned, obviously unhappy.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to atone for the sins of disrespect. With that, Mo Han slammed his head on the ground and didn't lift it for a long time.

After a long time, Mu Xin sighed and said, "Hey." Whatever you want. But the 10,000 pioneer battalions under your command... ”

"The minister is willing to resign and go into hiding, leave the pioneer camp by His Majesty's side, and protect the peace of the imperial capital all day long. ”

"Okay, then you can go to the ministry and hand it over. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Mu Xin watched Mo Han turn around and leave, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.

"Xiao Yun, at yesterday's banquet, all the generals didn't dare to accept my will without your orders, and today this Mo Han actually resigned and went into hiding for you. Originally, I felt guilty about you, but now it seems that ... ”

。。。

A day later, Xiao Yun entered the palace alone to bid farewell to Mu Xin, but the eunuch in charge of his majesty was too poor to come, so he sent Xiao Yun back.

In this way, more than 50 members of the Xiao family, together with 20 fully loaded carts, left the imperial capital and headed towards Huangling City.

Outside the city gate, Xiao Yu looked back at this familiar big city, and looked far away to see the sunset forest that he had experienced, and he was nostalgic in his heart. But he didn't know that the next time he came here, there would only be swords left to meet each other.

。。。。

There were no books all the way, and two months later, Xiao Yun and his party finally arrived at the foot of Huangling City, and the old lady who greeted him, Tao Qian, had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time.

"King Huangling, don't come unharmed. Tao Qian said with a wave of his hand.

"Hehe, Tao Taishou, we meet again. Xiao Yun returned the salute.

"Please, enter the city for a while, the old man has prepared a thin wine to wash the dust and catch the wind for the king of Huangling. ”

In this way, Xiao Yun and the others followed Tao Qian into this long-lost city again.

。。。

At the banquet, Tao Qian saw Xiao Yun's amazement, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"King Huangling, in fact, there is nothing wrong with staying away from the imperial capital. After all, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and there are not so many constraints on the emperor here. ”

"Hehe, Tao Taishou can see it, in fact, Xiao is not sad about this, but I just want the ancestors of my Xiao family to die loyal to the country, but in the end, it ended up like this. Besides, my ancestral temple tomb is still in the imperial capital, and I'm now... Hey, it's not filial. Xiao Yu drank a few glasses of wine, and the words he said also brought out a gloomy charm.

"King Huangling, for the ancestors, the so-called heart is there, why do you care about those red tape?"

"Having said that, I do have a lot of reluctance. ”

"We are courtiers, and we often can't help ourselves, knowing that this is the emperor's power, but we are helpless, it is better to come and be at ease. ”

"What comes is safe... Xiao Yun savored this sentence, and suddenly suddenly became enlightened, then stood up from the chair, and arched deeply at Tao Qian: "Listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years, and if you come, you will be safe, hahaha, okay! I, Xiao Yun, should not put on that sentimental daughter posture, where can the end of the world be tolerated!"

"Okay! King Huangling is really open-minded!"

"Hey~ Tao Taishou don't call Xiao the king of Huangling anymore, this title is really boring!"

"How does this make ... It's a loss of courtesy... Tao Qian said with embarrassment.

"It's okay, since this is Xiao's fiefdom, then I will have the final say! Why don't you and I form brothers with different surnames from today onwards and treat each other as brothers?"

"This... It's all up to the King of Huangling. ”

"Why do you still call me that, old brother, please bow down to my little brother!" As he spoke, Xiao Yun bowed deeply.

"Oh! Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Brother Xiao has killed the old man!"

"Hahahaha. ”

"Hahahaha. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, picked up the large bowl and drank three more bowls of spirits in one go. Xiao Yun was awakened by a word today, and the boredom in his heart for many days also dissipated without a trace.
