The sky after the wind and snow have stopped always gives the illusion that it is about to clear up.

There is a world of difference between the trembling in Longyuan Pavilion and the high spirits when you were in Yingchuan.

Until Wang Yue's figure disappeared.

The respect on Xiao Rui's face also disappeared, and he was replaced by a gloomy face.

Above the main hall.

Liu Hong had already murdered him, if it weren't for the fact that he still had some value, at this time, he would be like the black-robed man in Merlin.

In the cold winter, the weather will change.

The wind and snow began to flutter again, and if there was no trouble from Zhang Jiao and others, next year would be a bumper harvest season.

these years.

Xiao Rui has been walking on the rivers and lakes, and he has also made a lot of friends with those famous knights in history.

For the future, Xiao Rui is not as confused as he was that year.

Everyone thought he was Dr. Xiao's nephew, but only he knew that the man with the same name and surname as himself had died in the snowstorm many years ago.

Now that I think about it, it may be the same as the dry bones on the official road!

The Lanling Xiao clan is a descendant of the famous minister Xiao He, and it is also a great family in the Han Empire.

Xiao Rui is mistakenly in such a family, and there are many things that he can't change for a while.

He had just arrived in Luoyang, and his uncle couldn't wait to see him.

Come to think of it, he also received some rumors. Xiao Rui didn't think that he was in a hurry to see him because he missed himself.

The family is famous, and no matter which book it is placed in, it is not harmonious.

Clean up your mess.

Xiao Rui became gentle and elegant again, and walked among the lanes of Luoyang with a warm face.

Dr. Xiao's name is Xiao Zhou, the word is Jinshi, and he is a very erudite person.

The wind and snow that stop and start again are always getting heavier and heavier.

When Xiao Rui came to Xiao Zhou's mansion, his body was also covered with snow.

Under the care of a few maids, it was quickly cleaned up.

Xiao Zhou has also been waiting for Xiao Rui in the study for a long time.

"Meet my uncle. 」

Xiao Rui bowed respectfully in accordance with the rules of this era.

If he treats this uncle with the same attitude he had towards his parents when he was a child, then in this era of filial piety, he will not be able to move an inch.

Thinking about it, Xiao Rui felt sarcastic.

Xiao Zhou looked Xiao Rui up and down, and said kindly, "It's good to come back safely. 」

"Uncle Xie is worried. 」

Xiao Zhou waved his hand and said, "Come to think of it, you already know about the Taiping Dao rebellion!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Uncle Hui, Yicai also just learned about it. 」

Xiao Zhou hummed and continued, "What is the emperor's plan. 」

Xiao Rui knew that the emperor Xiao Zhou was talking about was Liu Hong, the pavilion master of Longyuan Pavilion.

"The pavilion master is going to use Zhang Jiao's hand to cleanse a part of the family before he can quell this trouble. Xiao Rui replied.

Xiao Zhou nodded and said, "The emperor's move really doesn't put the world family in his eyes, and with this disaster, the general trend of the world has already been decided. 」

Xiao Rui asked, "Why did my uncle say this? 」

Xiao Zhou shook his head and said, "Since the emperor ascended to the great treasure, he has been bent on centralizing power, but the family and relatives have already tasted the sweetness of power, who will easily let it go. 」

Xiao Rui said, "Also, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is very difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. 」

Xiao Zhou said: "That's the reason, the emperor reuses the internal servants and wantonly collects and loots money, what he wants is to cause this chaos, but he still underestimates the ability of the world's families. 」

Hearing this, Xiao Rui was shocked beyond words.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou said solemnly: "How did the things I gave you go, did you get the roster. 」

Hear the words.

Xiao Rui knew that his uncle's purpose for inviting him had come.

Xiao Rui said: "I have read the roster, but because of the urgency of time, I didn't have to back it up in a hurry, and I only remember a few names related to the Xiao family. 」

......

When Xiao Zhou heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said, "Alas, I still missed this great opportunity. That's it, getting rid of these people can also keep the Xiao family from being greatly damaged in this disaster. 」

Xiao Rui nodded yes.

Talking until the dead of night, Xiao Rui left Xiao Zhou's mansion with a sense of fatigue.

Guests.

As the literal meaning suggests, Liu Hong is full of nails buried in his country, and Xiao Rui is the nail buried by the Xiao family next to Liu Hong.

Think about it.

Xiao Rui thought it was funny.

Although he didn't have much time in Yingchuan, he still missed it.

He misses Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, who talked and laughed with him.

He misses those two little imps.

I miss the wine cooked by Mei Ruoxue.

I miss the faint fragrance of plums.

Although he had only returned to Luoyang from Yingchuan, only he knew how tired he was at this time.

The people of the rivers and lakes call him the Seven Wonderful Divine Monarch, but in this Luoyang, he is just a knife in Liu Hong's hand.

A nail in the Xiao family.

He wanted to escape, but in this big world, he had nowhere to escape.

Let the snow hit his frozen face.

Xiao Ruicai felt that he was not dreaming.

In the middle of the night in the imperial capital Luoyang, a curfew had already begun, but it could only restrain those powerless people.

Just like the brightly lit Wanhualou, the entertainers are all big people with names and surnames.

Xiao Rui suddenly wanted to drink, maybe he really missed Mei Ruoxuewen's wine.

Gently brushing away the snowflakes on the light fur, Xiao Rui walked into Wanhualou with a gentle face.

Find a window seat and sit down.

Walking in the snow is different from looking out the window.

Just like the wine of this Wanhualou, no matter how warm it is, it doesn't taste like Merlin.

Jian frowned slightly.

The woman who was warming the wine on the side instantly became overwhelmed.

Xiao Rui glanced at her and smiled gently, "It's okay. 」

The woman became a little more natural again.

"Brother Yicai, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your trip to Yingchuan has won a great reputation. 」

Hear the words.

Xiao Rui turned his head to look at the person who came, and the person who spoke was a black-faced man with a stocky body.

Along with the man was a handsome man, both of whom looked older than Xiao Rui.

Seeing the person clearly, Xiao Rui got up and arched his hand and said, "It turns out that it is Brother Meng De and Brother Benchu, hurry up, take a seat together." 」

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also bowed their hands at the same time, and Yuan Shao said, "It's really you! I thought Meng De was lying to me again. 」

Cao Cao smiled, "Originally, then I could lie to you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Rui shook his head and smiled, "Don't deliberately count the little brother down, two of you. 」

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao heard this, they looked at each other and laughed.

After the three of them sat down, Cao Cao spoke again: "I heard that the Xu brothers of Qinghe Island commented that Yicai is able to stabilize the country and dominate the world. 」

Without waiting for Xiao Rui to speak, Yuan Shao continued: "Yicai, on the rivers and lakes, you already have the nickname of the Seven Wonderful Divine Monarchs, I never thought that in this Shilin, you got the comments of the Xu brothers, which is really enviable!"

Xiao Rui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's hard to say, Ben Chu Mengde, don't laugh at me, if I can have half the talent of my two brothers, I can be regarded as the blessing of the ancestors." 」

For a while, you and I praised it, and the three of them had a lot of fun.

When he finally talked about Zhang Jiao's rebellion, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's eyes flashed with excitement at the same time.

But no one said it explicitly.

Xiao Rui knows that the people of the family are easy people.

What's more, these two will be princes in the future.
