Chapter 18: The King of Xunyang
Shen Qi bowed his head: "What this son said is right. After the death of Empress Xie and Shangzhuguo, the first emperor thanked the Xie family for generations of hairpins and generations of loyalty, but ended up with a thin heir, so he crowned the young son of the Xie family as the king of the county.
The Xie family is a loyal martyr, several generations of fierce generals. The eldest son and second son of Shangzhu Kingdom also died fighting for Tianchen, and the Xunyang Xie clan now only has a bloodline of Xunyang County King. β
Han Changsheng gasped.
Longevity!
Full of loyalty, heroic souls return to heaven, only one person remains!
The younger brother of the first emperor and the queen!
When today's uncle!
How noble is this status?
The more Han Changsheng thought about it, the more he worried about Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao, you really died a lot!
Tell me, it's not good to lie to whom? It actually got to the king of Xunyang County! This is so panicked, and if it is exposed in the future, it will pull the crotch!
- Although it's all for Ling Or, and it's a reason for things, you can't be so open-mouthed!
How could she really have such a noble token as the King of Xunyang County?
Maybe...... Or steal!
This, this, this? Can this really come round?
However, it turned out that Xie Zhao was really not suspected by Shen Qi.
Not only was she not suspected, but she also dared to ask questions!
Han Changsheng was frightened to hear Xie Zhao frown and ask Shen Qi, "Great Commander, have you ever searched the fiefdom of the county king?" Did the king of Xunyang go to his fiefdom? β
Shen Qi shook his head lightly when he heard this.
"The first person to be inquired about by the imperial court was Xunyang City, and Xunyang Taishou has not seen any trace of the county king."
So, Xie Zhao frowned and stopped talking.
Shen Qi saw that it was useless to say more, so he sighed lightly and changed the topic in a harmonious voice.
"Forget it, since the girl and the county king Pingshui met, I don't know the trace of the county king. I don't know if a few people came to Ruyang to experience this time, or did they come to play the landscape? Speaking of which, the scenery of Ruyang City is excellent, and the desert Gobi dozens of miles north of the city is worth seeing. β
Three people and one silent.
Finally got to the point.
Ling He's eyes were calm, and he looked back at him and said, "Great Commander, the junior once said that there is something important to inquire about the Great Commander on this trip, and I hope that the Great Commander will tell you the truth." β
Shen Qi was stunned, he thought at first that Ling He might have an old relationship with his master, so he specially came to visit. Therefore, he did not take his previous sentence of "there is something important to ask" seriously.
He said with a straight face: "Virtuous nephew, please speak." β
Ling He said slowly: "What the juniors want to inquire about is an old thing from seventeen years ago. β
Shen Qi paused slightly, he raised his eyebrows quietly, and looked at Ling He quietly.
"Seventeen years ago?"
Ling He nodded, "That's right, seventeen years ago, Langya was about the old thing. β
As soon as his words fell, Shen Qi was stunned.
Immediately, all he was thinking, seemed to understand something, and suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his next words.
What do you mean?
...... The atmosphere is a little awkward at this point.
A moment later, in the tense silence of the room, Shen Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Zhao and Han Changsheng, and said kindly:
"Two young heroes, there is a lotus pond in this courtyard of our Shen family, and there are many koi fish in captivity that are rare outside. This koi is unique to the Ruyang realm, and the old man asked the people to take the two of them to have a look. β
Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Shen Qi means this...... What did he mean by what he didn't want them to hear?
She shrugged her shoulders, but she felt that it didn't matter, after all, it was private, as long as Ling or this subject could talk to Shen Qi.
So, she dragged Han Changsheng, who was still confused and a little reluctant to leave, out of the welcome hall, and waved her hand to greet: "That's the best, thank you for the great commander's hospitality, we might as well obey our orders respectfully." β
"Huh??"
While Han Changsheng was being dragged away by her, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said dissatisfied, "What are you doing?" Shall we go? Will Ling or a person be left behind? Isn't that too unjust! β
Xie Zhao said lightly speechlessly: "...... Save it, you, what is the purpose of our coming to Ruyang, you should not forget, right? Isn't it because Ling He has something to ask Yu Shen Qi face-to-face?
Shen Qi wants us to avoid it now, which is a good thing. It shows that he will not be perfunctory and deceive, otherwise there is no need to support us idlers. Besidesβ"
Xie Zhao shrugged his shoulders and hit the nail on the head and said, "Shen Qi is in the Great Inheritance Realm, but Ling He is in the Saint King Human Realm. Unless it is Shen Wei, the second master of the Shen family, who shows up, Shen Qi can't take Ling or what, what are you anxious about. β
Han Changsheng frowned and thought about it, as if he ...... What's going on?
He let out an "oops" and hurriedly pushed away Xie Zhao's hand holding him.
"Got it, got it, you're smart, right? Don't drag me along, you've messed up your clothes! Demeanor! Pay attention to demeanor! β
Xie Zhao rolled his eyes and sneered, and walked to the front first.
"You've got a fart demeanor."
"βHow do you say that?"
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the lotus pond in the garden of the courtyard that the people of the Shen Mansion also retreated, that Han Changsheng dared to put down his heart and say something private.
"βHey, we're really too dangerous today! You took such a fake token and told such an unreasonable lie, and it was not even discovered? β
When he said this, he suddenly paused and said vigilantly: "...... That's not right! Commander Shen is not a fool, he is a military man, and he has always been rigorous, if the wrench is fake, he can't not know, isn't it ......?"
Han Changsheng looked at Xie Zhao with a dishful face.
β...... Could it be that the wrench is really the private property of the king of Xunyang? β
Xie Zhao chuckled wordlessly.
Good guy, it's okay, it looks like he's not stupid yet.
However, Han Changsheng's heart that he had just put down instantly came up again, and he said anxiously: "No...... How did you steal the head of the king of Xunyang? You're too presumptuous, aren't you? ...... No wonder! No wonder the last time I saw you stealing the silver ticket when you went to the rich man's house to save the girl, it turns out that you are really a habitual offender! β
Xie Zhao: "......"
She decided to retract the fallacy that Han Changsheng was not stupid at the last moment, and slapped herself hard in her heart.
So, she fooled him casually and said:
"That's it...... Passing by, handy. β
"What do you mean by a handy thing?"
Han Changsheng raised his eyebrows, and worriedly took the opportunity to educate her:
"Ah Zhao, forget it, I'll leave the matter of earning money to me and Ling He in the future. If you're just a petty thief, that's fine, but you're almost jumping into the sky! This is damn horrifying! β
"Don't curse."
Xie Zhao casually responded with a match, but a trace of irritability rose in his heart for a long time.
First, I don't know if Ling or that side is going well, whether he can get what he wants, and ask the answer he wants.
The second is ...... That person has always been weak, as the spiritual leader of the hundreds of officials in the literary world of the Zhaoge court, why did he suddenly leave Zhaoge alone?
Is his departure ...... Relationship with her?
He left Zhaoge a year and a half ago, but now he has not been found by the state capitals of Tianchen, so it can be seen that he must have deliberately avoided the official government.
The king of Xunyang County does not know martial arts, and he alone will never be able to hide his traces for so long, so he should have secretly brought other good players around him.
