"Then why did you choose him? Why, is there any thrill in Hardmode?"

"Because he is the youngest, and he is not yet married. Shen Li said solemnly.

Fox Qi supported his forehead: "...... Sure enough, if you want to become a big thing, you can't get married young. ”

"Hee-hee, just kidding! The most important thing is, of course, that he has two trump cards in his hand. Shen Li said with a smile: "Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, has a high opinion of him, and in addition, Empress Dowager Zhang also has a good impression of him. ”

"You don't know sorcery, how do you know these things?"

"It's not difficult!"

Shen Li said, taking out the book from the bookcase: "To be such a big official as the first assistant of the cabinet must be very knowledgeable." This is a collection of essays published by Lord Yang, which once mentioned that Zhao Su was a prince in the palace when he was young, and Yang Tinghe was the young master of the prince at the time, mentioning that Zhao Su was quick to think and wrote well-the first assistant of the cabinet is optimistic that he will definitely get the support of most ministers. For such an important matter as choosing the crown prince, the opinions of Shoufu and Empress Dowager Zhang must be decisive. ”

Fox Qi's face is capitalized.

"So you see, it always hurts to read more. ”

"Okay, I'll try to finish that book when I get back. ”

Shen Li smiled again: "That's all you have to say." ”

"But then again, what do you think Zhao Su's chances of winning are?" asked Hu Qi again.

Shen Li thought about it seriously: "Yicheng." ”

"Just one percent?"

Shen Li nodded: "Judging from my father's hexagram, this person's first catastrophe should be when he entered Beijing." Zhao Yang and Zhao Teng are fighting fiercely in the capital, and he may be killed by the way, die in a car accident or encounter a robber on the road or something. ”

Hu Qi felt that he couldn't see through her more and more: "Despite this, you still want to press the treasure on him?"

"If he can survive the first hurdle, then there are two possibilities. ”

Shen Li still continued very seriously: "Either he will be squeezed out of the outskirts of the political situation and continue to be a little person who accompanies the prince to study, or he will be ignored by hundreds of officials, and after the prince is decided, he will be sent back to the palace and continue to be an idle prince in a remote mountainous area like his father." ”

"Are you serious? Neither of these results looks good!"

Shen Li still had a smile on his face: "That's because he still needs a third trump card - it's me~!"

"I don't understand. Fox Qi frowned and said: "Such a bad hand, even if there are three kings, can you win? Why don't you just pick a good hand? In that case, won't it be closer to success?"

"You don't understand that. ”

Shen Li shook his head and said, "For me, only Zhao Su is the best entry point. However, whether or not to choose him in the end will have to wait until I meet this person to decide. ”

"Also, maybe he hung up at the beginning?"

"So now, I need you to do me a favor. Shen Li said: "You go to the capital now, secretly protect Zhao Su, and let him not lose his life at the beginning." ”

"It's not that hard. ”

Hu Qi nodded, and was about to leave, but was pulled by Shen Li: "What's the hurry, there is a second one." ”

"Hey, there's so much I can't remember. Fox Qi's eyes rolled, and his face was treacherous.

"Saving people is a great merit, if you save the life of the future emperor, it is worth hundreds of years of cultivation!"

"Really?"

"Lie to you, I'm not a fox, I'm a puppy. ”

"Childish. Hu Qi glanced at her: "What's the second one?"

"My eldest brother has a shop in the capital, called Shen Ji Grain Store, No. 39 Xinglong Street. After you save Zhao Su, if you have nowhere to hide, go there. My eldest brother is chivalrous and courageous, and he will definitely not die without help. ”

"That's it?"

"Hmm. ”

Shen Li nodded and explained: "At the end of May, the wheat harvest will be opened, and usually at this time, the eldest brother will start to take stock of the store in advance, and then go home to help and live for a month." If Zhao Su is really a 'quick-witted' person, at this time, he should choose to go back to Shenjiazhuang with my eldest brother to avoid trouble. ”

"Really?" Hu Qiman was incredulous: "He's also a little prince, even if he falls, he won't have nowhere to hide, right?"

"Don't believe it, then let's make a bet!" Shen Li smiled and raised his hand: "If I expect it, you will sell yourself to me and keep me as an errand boy, how about it?"

"Hey, Dad asked me to stay and take care of you, but he didn't say that you would let me call me casually!"

"Don't dare to bet!"

"Whoever is afraid of whom, bet on it! If I win, well......" Hu Qi rolled his eyelids and thought: "You have to listen to me! Give up these strange plans, stop tossing around!"

Shen Li was refreshed: "Okay, a word is a certainty!"

The two immediately high-fived and swore an oath.

As soon as he finished high-fives, Hu Qi suddenly regretted a little: Wait, am I being tricked? Why does it feel so like a trap?

"But Xiao Qi, I have to add one more thing. Shen Li Zhengse said: "If you meet someone in the same way, don't touch it. You are a demon, you can hide, don't cross the line, remember. ”

The 'line' she said is the rule that demons walk in the world, that is, they must not harm people.

Hu Qi snorted: "What, I'm afraid that I will suffer? Am I such a weak chicken in your eyes? How can I say that I am also a big fox immortal whose comprehensive strength ranks within the top 5,000 in the South China Sea Immortal Mountain!"

"Uh, that's amazing. ”

Shen Li reluctantly praised: "In such a remote ghost place, can there be more than five thousand monsters?"

Hu Qi ignored her sarcasm, glared at her and complained: "You said that you, don't you want to go through this life without stopping, and then go to the Nine Heavens to become an immortal......?

She interrupted him and said in a serious voice, "Fox Qi, do you have a dream?"

Fox Qi suddenly felt: Fox Fourteen in the previous life should also be a very smart and clever little fox fairy, just her bright little head melon seeds, she will definitely not suffer when she runs the rivers and lakes, maybe she is still an expert in abduction and abduction - no, probably she has not done anything bad, otherwise she would not be so blessed to be reincarnated into a rich and noble family in this life.

It's just that the memories of her past life overlap with this life, and she is clever and eccentric, but she is also a scholar, why did she unexpectedly exude a spirit master-like temperament?

This ghost girl has three pits in one sentence, but she can't just follow her way. Thinking of this, Hu Qi immediately lowered his face and slowly spit out a word:

“...... Get lost. ”

Seeing that he didn't accept the invitation, Shen Li couldn't help laughing, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are my only brother, I won't cheat you." ”

This sounds like "I don't lie to you if I read a lot".

"Otherwise, I'd better forget it, I'll change my mind. Fox Qi turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Li lowered his face: "I have already high-fived and bet just now, but I can't play Laipi!"

"Then you have to tell me your whole plan! I don't want to be busy for a long time, and in the end I will regret and complain! If something big happens in the future, my father will ask me, and I will at least have an explanation!"

Shen Li thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it also makes sense." It's just that I've never had a plan to do things, so I'll take one step at a time!"

"Who is Meng? You have already set the target for Zhao Su, and you still say that you have no plan? Do you want to wait until you ascend the throne and then tell me that 'I have a plan'?"

"Oh, you're embarrassing me like this. Shen Li grabbed her hair, sure enough, she was a brother born to her father, and her heart and eyes were not less than her, so she had to be embarrassed:

"Well, my goal is to be the winner. As for Zhao Su, he is just an important candidate needed to achieve his goal, and besides, he hasn't written a word yet, so it's too early to say anything. ”

Hu Qi touched his chin: "So now you want to put the treasure on Zhao Su, help him ascend to the throne, and then become the queen?"

Shen Li smiled faintly, straightened his waist and said slowly: "No, only the man in my fox fourteen picks is the true son of heaven who can finally become the emperor." It's not because of me that I became the empress, but because of me, he's the emperor. ”

There was a twinkle in her eyes, confident and determined, and it was clear that she was already confident. Fox Qi laughed: "Well, that's good! Just say this to you, I'm in the gang!"

Shen Li said cautiously:

"But we're not the only ones who want to be at the top of power. Game of Thrones has always been full of blood, and I'm afraid it's not easy to walk this way, so you'd better not be too optimistic. “

"Is there such a possibility?"

When Hu Qi heard this, instead of worrying, he said with a hippie smile: "If you don't want to be the empress, how about helping me to become the emperor again?

Shen Li unceremoniously reached out and tore his ugly face, gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you still think it's so beautiful even though you look so ugly?"

"Hey!" Fox Qi broke free from her claws, rubbed his face and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't tear it up for me! It's hard to get it glued! Is it easy for me to find a human skin these days?!"

Shen Li was angry and funny for a while: "Do you think it is so easy to be an emperor? People with the emperor's destiny are all good births after thousands of selections by the Si Ming Mansion! Not to mention whether your destiny is standard enough, even if you start from a flat-headed bandit, you have to have the right time, place and people, and your luck must be very good!"

Fox Qi blinked: "I think I'm very lucky! Look, I asked my father to take a hexagram before I went out, and then I didn't have much trouble finding you!"

"This can only show that his heavenly skills are amazing!"

Hu Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You say, I killed Zhao Su, and then wore his skin to be the emperor, is there a play?"

"Huh. ”

Shen Li laughed expressionlessly: "It's quite a drama! It's just that if you can't sing this play for a few years, the Heavenly Court Execution Department will send a handsome little brother down to invite you to tea, and then press you under a certain mountain for thousands of eight hundred years, and plant you like a plant." ”

“......”

Fox Qi plucked his ears and rolled his eyes: "...... Forget it. Dad also said that you can't do anything that violates the law. ”

"Eh, seriously. Shen Li cleared his throat and said with a straight face: "Whether you go to the capital this time or not, I have a way to deal with it, don't be too reluctant! You remember, you are not anyone's pawn, I don't want to be a lonely person who becomes an immortal and the whole family ascends to heaven - so no matter what the outcome is in the future, you have to give me a good treat." ”

Inexplicably warmed up, Fox Qi was unnaturally stunned: "...... I know that safety comes first, and I can't hurt people's lives. ”

Shen Li nodded: "The capital is an important town, there must be many gods and monsters from all walks of life, you just need to touch the situation first, don't attract too much attention." As for the things I have instructed you, you can do as much as you can......"

"Oops, that's long-winded!"

Fox Qi said impatiently, "Don't worry, I'm not the first day to be a demon." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being careful. ”

"If you want to talk like this again, I won't be nice to you. ”

Shen Li smiled, watching him leap into the air and soar towards the clouds in the direction of the capital.

The capital, outside the city gates.

Yan Shuling was still wearing his usual gray and white robe, wearing a white gauze hat, carrying a long sword on his back, sitting on a horse, and slowly following the guards sent by the palace.

There was a long queue of people waiting to enter the city, and they could not enter the city until the city gate officials had finished inspecting them. Sure enough, the important places in Gyeonggi are heavily guarded, and the rules are naturally more than those of Wuling County.

Zhao Teng received an urgent edict from the palace and had already entered Beijing first. Yan Shuling finished taking care of the trivial matters in the temple, and then left for Beijing alone with the pro-soldier guards left by Zhao Teng.
