"This ......"

Ji Mu was stunned.

Obviously, Xiao Yin's request was greatly unexpected by Ji Mu.

"Envoy Xiao, what are you asking for?"

Ji Mu asked with a hint of puzzlement.

Xiao Yin said: "Today's chaotic battle in Xueyuan City has affected countless innocent people in the north and south cities, and the houses on both sides of Qingshi Street alone have collapsed. As for the people who have suffered from the scourge of the war and caused the death of their families, there must be a lot of them, I am a mortuary, and I should do this funeral, but now that the whole city is under martial law, there may be many constraints in doing things, so I hereby make a request to Your Majesty. ”

When Ji Mu heard this, he frowned slightly, and his face became a little solemn.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little delicate.

Xiao Yin didn't seem to care about Ji Mu's silence, and still stood quietly with his hands down, as if he didn't realize what Fang Cai's seemingly casual words meant to the Great Zhou Tianzi at this moment.

Seeing this, Gongsun Mubai couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then said to Ji Mu: "Your Majesty, Special Envoy Xiao has been following the mortuary since he was a child, and it has been ten years now. I think that there is such a request, and it is also a matter of duty. ”

After a slight pause, Gongsun Mubai added: "It's just that now that Special Envoy Xiao is my special envoy of Tianqiwei Qilin, it is really not appropriate to do such things." In this way, the minister has the courage to implore Your Majesty that it is better to leave this matter to the ministers to take care of, and it will definitely satisfy Your Majesty and Special Envoy Xiao. In addition, the minister will also order the outer personnel of the Tianqi Guard to be responsible for all the aftermath of Xueyuan City. What does Your Majesty think?"

As he spoke, Gongsun Mubai glanced at Xiao Yin intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Xiao Yin didn't react as if he hadn't seen it.

Gongsun Mubai had to frown secretly and stopped talking, but looking at Ji Mu's slightly improved face, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, there was a burst of laughter.

"I don't want Envoy Xiao to be such an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, it's really rare. Okay, just follow what Brother Mu Bai said. Brother Mu Bai, be sure to do a good job of the aftermath of Xueyuan City. ”

Ji Mu looked at Gongsun Mubai and said with a smile, a gentle smile reappeared on his face.

"Envoy Xiao, what do you think?" asked Ji Mu with a smile.

Xiao Yin bowed and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Ji Mu exhaled slightly and said, "What about your second request?"

Xiao Yin said: "The second request is to bother Lord Gongsun." ”

After that, Xiao Yin looked at Gongsun Mubai and said, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

Gongsun Mubai stroked his long beard under his chin, nodded and said, "Special Envoy Xiao refers to the matter of your three friends?"

Xiao Yin nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Gongsun Mubai nodded slightly.

Immediately, he told Ji Mu about the fall of Qianqian, Xinghao, and Yanyue into the Rakshasa Sect.

When Ji Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "It turns out that there is such a story on the way to escort the Nine Dragons coffin. Since these three people are also young heroes, and they are willing to contribute to my Great Zhou Imperial Court, they should do their best to rescue them, even if Envoy Xiao doesn't say it, I will also order someone to do it. Why did Special Envoy Shaw bring it up alone?"

Xiao Yin hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, Xiao Yin is grateful." It's just that now that the situation in the northern realm is complicated, and His Majesty is now sitting in Xueyuan City, it is not a last resort, and it is really not appropriate to rashly use a large number of people. Besides, when it comes to saving people, there should be fewer people than more, otherwise once you startle the snake, your efforts will be wasted. So let Xiao Yin handle the matter of saving people alone. ”

Ji Mu groaned slightly, nodded and said, "What Xiao Qing said is reasonable. It's just that if Xiao Qing is allowed to go alone, I'm afraid ......"

Speaking of this, Ji Mu paused, turned to look at Gongsun Mu Bai and said, "Brother Mu Bai, what is the clue you said that day?"

Gongsun Mubai said: "In fact, on the day that Envoy Xiao arrived in Xueyuan City, the minister found out about the disappearance of Qianqian and the others, and immediately secretly sent the Tianqi Guard secret guard to track it down along the route when he came. Until a few days ago, a secret report returned, saying that there had been a mysterious caravan in Ziliu City near the Yunyuan Mountain Range, and the people in the caravan were all dressed as people from the Western Regions, but according to the observation of the Tianqiwei in the city at that time, this caravan was actually a golden man in disguise, and more importantly, there seemed to be three handsome young men and women in the caravan, although the appearance was forcibly changed, but it can still be seen that it is from my Zhongtian Continent. As soon as the minister heard this secret report, he immediately thought of the three of them. I think this mysterious caravan is a disguise of the Rakshasa Sect. ”

"Did you find out where the caravan ended up after?"

Xiao Yin's eyes widened, and his fists clenched abruptly and asked urgently.

Gongsun Mubai shook his head and said: "Originally, the Tianqiwei in the city also felt that something was wrong, and was planning to investigate all the way, but who knew that this caravan seemed to be very vigilant, and after three rounds and two circles, it finally disappeared strangely in a valley in the Yunyuan Mountain Range, and there was no trace, and the Tianqiwei who was tracking searched for three whole days, and could not find the slightest clue, so he had to return in vain, and then he secretly told the matter back. ”

Xiao Yin's face froze, and a hint of disappointment emerged.

"Thank you, Lord Gongsun, for telling me. ”

Xiao Yin clenched his fists slightly and said gloomily.

Seeing this, Ji Mu was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, Dao Yan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Special Envoy Xiao already has a plan and decided to go to that Purple Willow City to explore?"

Xiao Yin nodded without hesitation: "Exactly." ”

Dao Yan's eyes flashed and looked at Ji Mudao: "Your Majesty, it is rare for Special Envoy Xiao to be so affectionate and righteous, and now that the imperial court is also employing people, if you can save such a young hero, it will be a little more helpful to my Great Zhou Imperial Court." In public and private, the imperial court should help Special Envoy Xiao. ”

Ji Mu looked at Dao Yan beside him, who was like a ghost, only to feel that there seemed to be a strange light flashing in the other party's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, as if he had thought of something. Then he nodded slowly and said, "Okay! Xiao Qing rest assured, I will definitely help you." It's just that the Purple Willow City is near the Yunyuan Mountain Range, and this Yunyuan Mountain Range is a critical mountain pass on the border between the Zhongtian Continent and the Northern Plains Continent. If you go now, you will only be afraid of ......"

Xiao Yin immediately clenched his fists and was about to say something.

Ji Mu waved his hand and stopped Xiao Yin and said, "That's it, since Xiao Qing is going to the Yunyuan Mountain Range, it just so happens that I also want to send someone to supervise the frontline battle situation recently." I will now give Xiao Qing a gold medal and a white jade tiger talisman, and order Xiao Qing to be the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou Qintian, and grant the northern important places on behalf of the heavens. The 500,000 military horses on the front line have been controlled by you all the officials in the north, including the Tianqi Guard, regardless of rank. When necessary, you can rely on the white jade tiger charm to mobilize the front-line military horses, act cheaply, and have the right to cut first and then play in case of trouble. ”

Ji Mu finished speaking quickly in one breath, and then looked at Xiao Yin with the corners of his mouth raised, and asked slowly with a hint of deep meaning: "What does Xiao Qing think?"

Xiao Yin heard what Ji Mu said, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and then he took a few steps, bowed down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yin is just going to the Yunyuan Mountain Range for his own personal affairs, how can he take on such a big responsibility...... Weichen is young and knowledgeable, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to take on this position. I really don't dare to take it. ”

Gongsun Mubai also frowned slightly at the moment, but after glancing at Ji Mu and Daoyan, he still didn't speak recently.

Ji Mu looked at Xiao Yin and smiled: "Eh! Xiao Qing is too modest." With Xiao Qing's ability, I have absolute confidence in you. Besides, the matter of saving people cannot be delayed, although Xiao Qing is resourceful, but after all, he is only one person, and his cultivation is a little thin, if there is no help from the court, I am afraid that this person will be difficult to save. ”

Xiao Yin suddenly showed a hint of hesitation, looking a little hesitant.

At this moment, Ji Mu suddenly asked, "This matter is so decided, Xiao Qing doesn't need to say more." Okay, I don't know what the third thing Xiao Qing asked for?"

Xiao Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Since Your Majesty is so gracious, if Xiao Yin asks again, he will inevitably be too greedy." Let's stop there. ”

Ji Mu smiled and said: "What a Xiao Qing, there is a degree of advance and retreat, neither humble nor arrogant, which really makes me very happy." Since I succeeded to the throne, I don't know how many civil and military officials have been rewarded, but this time today really impressed me. Xiao Qing is not like a mediocre and greedy person, he only knows glory and wealth, fame and fortune, and he is not like a noble and arrogant person, full of hypocrisy and hypocrisy, benevolence and morality. But he made two requests for the corpse and the rescue, which is really unheard of. Looking at the entire history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that I can't find the second one. ”

Ji Mu said, suddenly changed his words, looked at Xiao Yin intently, and said: "I agreed to Xiao Qing's two requests, I wonder if Xiao Qing can also agree to my request?"

Xiao Yin was stunned, but when he saw that on the dragon chair, Ji Mu's words were sincere, and there seemed to be no hypocrisy in his eyes.

Xiao Yin's clear eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Ji Mu said word by word: "If one day, I have a request for you, can you agree immediately without asking the reason." ”

Xiao Yin's heart was shocked.

Gongsun Mubai's eyes flashed even more.

Dao Yan was still hidden in the deep cloak, only a pair of unpredictable eyes, still shining brightly.

Ji Mu didn't care about Xiao Yin's reaction at all, and continued: "Don't worry, at that time, I won't embarrass you and order you to do things you can't do. I just hope that if in the future you can remember the relationship I allowed you to do today, then I hope you can do something for me too. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mu remained silent, as if he was waiting for Xiao Yin's answer.

The entire Shaoyang Hall suddenly fell into a terrifying silence.

There was no sound, only the flickering candle flame projected the figures of the four people on the palace wall, flickering and dimming, flickering and swaying.

I don't know how long this lasted.

Finally, Xiao Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Xiao Yin agreed." ”

Ji Mu suddenly felt happy in his heart, and then he couldn't hold back a trace of excitement in his heart, and asked slowly: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yin said: "Your Majesty allowed me to ask for today, Xiao Yin can be said to die without regrets." In that case, why bother. ”

Ji Mu patted the dragon chair handguard and praised: "Okay! With Xiao Qingyinuo, I will be relieved." Okay, Xiao Qing is also tired today, so let's go down and rest first. If there is still a need to save people, you can go directly to Brother Mu Bai, and I believe that Brother Mu Bai will not refuse. ”

Gongsun Mubai bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Yin bowed down and quickly left the hall with great interest.

In the main hall, only Ji Mu, Dao Yan, and Gongsun Mubai were left.

Ji Mu looked at Xiao Yin's departing figure and didn't speak for a long time.

Finally, Ji Mu retracted his gaze and looked at Gongsun Mu Bai and said, "Brother Mu Bai thinks that my fate is too child's play?"

Gongsun Mubai frowned, stroked his long beard and groaned: "Your Majesty, although Xiao Yin has an excellent mind, intelligence and cleverness, and the minister is also very optimistic, but such a great power is so easily handed over to him, this is ......"

Ji Mu smiled and said, "Brother Mu Bai, don't worry, this authority seems to be extremely heavy, but in fact it is just an empty shell. ”

Gongsun Mubai: "Oh?!"

Ji Mu shook his head and chuckled: "You must know that you will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." A person who has no military merits, even if he has the king's destiny tiger talisman on his body, how can he really command the army of 500,000 tigers and wolves! What's more, just because the old monster of Taishu Sheng is here, he is afraid that Xiao Yin will be difficult to deal with, let alone let him listen to Xiao Yin, a young man who is not yet twenty years old!"

Gongsun Mubai's eyes flashed, and then nodded: "Since this is the case, then why does Your Majesty ......?"

Ji Mu raised his hand and made a blocking motion, and then glanced at Dao Yan on the side.

Ji Mu's handsome face couldn't help but show an imperceptible smile again.
