269: C269 Proposal

C269 Proposal

Xiao Yun got into the carriage.

There was some wine on the carriage.

It was not a good wine.

Because they knew that Xiao Yun definitely wouldn't drink it.

Xiao Yun didn't ask them who they were.

The middle-aged man said directly, "Young Master Xiao, come to visit late at night. Please don't blame Young Master Xiao. It's really Young Master Xiao who is rushing us. Master sent me here to ask Young Master Xiao what kind of help he wants. "

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Actually it's nothing. Maybe tomorrow, or in the next few days, His Majesty will ask about the northern expedition in the Imperial Court. He naturally wants to hear the opinions of the officials."

"Then what Young Master Xiao means is..."

"Let this matter succeed!"

The middle-aged man thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Xiao, the Qin Country is currently in a state of internal and external chaos, so it is not suitable for war. If it is a small country, it is fine, but in the North Wei..."

"I am too lazy to explain anything to you. As long as you guys do it, it will be fine."

"Then... Then we will do as Young Master Xiao says. What other instructions does Young Master Xiao have?"

"His Majesty should also ask who should be sent to the north. I think that if it is the right time, an official will stand out. Tell Great General Xiao to go, and then a group of officials will agree. This is not bad. "

The middle-aged man was naturally very smart. He nodded vigorously and said, "This lowly one will remember Young Master Xiao's instructions."

"En, then there is nothing much. This young master will go home first."

"Young master, please wait a moment!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped him.

"What is it?"

Xiao Yun frowned.

"About that..." The middle-aged man said with a bitter face, "Master sent me here this time. He wants me to ask you something."

"Speak."

"Young Master Xiao, how long are you going to use us? the middle-aged man asked. When can you return the book to us?"

As he spoke, there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Actually, the reason Young Master Xi could let this person come proved that this fellow had some special qualities.

The middle-aged man was obviously not good at talking, nor was he good at making friends.

Then his special characteristic was probably that he knew how to look at people!

Xiao Yun snorted and said, "Don't think about that book. Put it here with me. Then you won't be able to get out anymore. But you don't have to worry too much. I won't keep using it to threaten you. As for asking you for help this time... It's still you who are paying back your debts."

Speaking up to this point, Xiao Yun let out a cold laugh.

"Do you think killing me is so easy? Don't you want to pay the price for what you have done? How is that possible? As for where you will be of use in the future, just say it to that master of yours. In the future, we can work together and also win both. Remember, don't give me any face!"

"I... I'll remember that."

The middle-aged man did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He did not know how to say these words to his own master.

Xiao Yun got off the carriage and turned around to enter the house.

Shangguan Qing'er had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing that her young master had returned in the middle of the night, she hurriedly draped a blanket over him and pulled him back into the house. She ate, washed up, and warmed a pool of soup for him to soak in.

"Young master, have you finished what you have to do for the entire day?"

Xiao Yun let out a long sigh and said, "I have done what I have to do. Now it will depend on His Majesty's feelings."

"The will of His Majesty?"

"Yes, after careful deliberation, there must be a result."

Qing'er acknowledged and then talked about the changes in the family these few days.

To be honest, the changes in the Xiao family had exceeded Xiao Yun's expectation.

Previously, he thought that once Xiao Huai'en was imprisoned, Xiao Wansheng would definitely cause trouble.

For example, property, inheritance, and so on. After all, the previous two generations were no longer around. He was the only one who could decide the fate of the entire family. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Perhaps someone would say that their old master had already been locked up in the Imperial Prison. Why was he still in the mood to do all of this?

However, in reality, a large portion of people would do this.

In a hopeless situation, in the midst of a tragedy, they would find a benefit that could convince themselves.

Or rather, a benefit.

Humans have this kind of ability.

Otherwise... how are they supposed to live?!

I can't say that I'm lying to myself, but in a world where no one will comfort you, I'm not at fault for comforting myself.

However, Xiao Wansheng didn't do that.

He even gave him full authority.

He did not care about anything in the family. He gave everything to Shangguan Qing'er and Ling Long.

Ling Long, in particular, had become the chief steward of the Xiao family. Compared to the noble ladies in the family, she had a higher status and prestige.

How far had Xiao Wansheng gone?

Last time, he had prepared a set of bedding for himself, so he had personally found Ling Long and made his request. After that, Ling Long had arranged everything.

It was something that could be done at will, but it had gone through such a formality.

Everyone in the Xiao family was not stupid. They naturally understood that this was Xiao Wansheng expressing that he wanted to completely relinquish his authority.

Xiao Yun couldn't figure out what Xiao Wansheng was thinking.

Perhaps he felt that it was very troublesome to manage these matters.

Maybe he felt that he owed his family and Xiao Yun.

Or maybe he didn't think that anything would happen to Xiao Yun. He thought that Xiao Yun would definitely come back!

But in general...

"Home and everything is going well."

Xiao Yun mumbled in a daze. The corner of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile, and he fell into a deep sleep in the bucket.

Qing'er hurriedly went over and hugged his neck, afraid that this guy would slip into the bucket.

For the first time, she also let Ling Long come in, adjust the hot water, and serve him.

After she cleaned Xiao Yun's body, she carried him to the bed and covered him with the blanket. Surprisingly, Ling Long stayed behind and laid beside Xiao Yun to warm his body.

It was night. Ling Long covered her face with the corner of the blanket and cried softly.

Qing'er let out a long sigh and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

Between the two of them, there was not a single word.

...

The next morning, after Xiao Yun woke up, he continued to practice martial arts and strengthen his body as usual. Furthermore, his strength was clearly much higher than before.

This could also be considered a way to mend the dead sheep's cage.

Previously, he really did not expect that the people in this world could be so powerful to such an extent. That number one expert of the Northern Wei was really just a little bit away from taking his life.

Originally, he thought that by relying on his assassination methods and fighting techniques, he would be an invincible existence in his previous life. When he arrived in this world, he would naturally be familiar with it and would not be able to find any opponents.

Unfortunately, this competition was taught a good lesson.

He had to work hard!

Especially the saber aura unleashed by the Saber Brother in the end, what exactly was that? How did he do it? He had become a nightmare in his heart. Of course, it was also a kind of desire!

He had to obtain this technique!

...

Just as he was leisurely preparing to make progress in his martial arts and start thinking about how to obtain that kind of martial arts technique...

In the Imperial Court, His Majesty was debating whether he should ask about this matter today.

What made him feel strange was that today was not a court assembly, but the officials that came were especially orderly.

Almost none of them had applied for leave, and all of them had come.

This was very rare.

Now that the matter of the northern expedition had been mentioned, it was actually quite suitable.

Initially, he had thought of it very well, but when the matter came to an end, he did not want to say it anymore.

If he said it and the people below opposed it, wouldn't the face of his emperor be damaged?

He might even say a few words behind his back that he was a fool.

He couldn't tell the officials what Xiao Yun had said. After all, everyone knew what was going on, but they couldn't say it out loud. It would be recorded in the history books.

What should he do?2

The king sighed.

His Majesty was not in the mood to listen to the reports one by one. He knew that it was not a big deal, so he nodded and did not give any instructions for them to think about it.

When the people below finished speaking, the entire scene turned cold.

His Majesty then said somewhat helplessly, "Zhen... Recently, I have an idea. My Qin Country has been on bad terms with the Northern Wei for a long time. A hundred years of war and a thousand years of hostility. The number of grudges and grudges are too many to count. Peace was only temporary after all. The current political situation in the North Wei was unstable, and the border was lax. It was the Great Qin who had turned the tables on the guests. It was the best time to attack cities and territories... Ministers, what do you think of this matter?"

He was a little nervous.

Because in his estimation, there would definitely be people who would stand out against this matter.

As expected, when the crowd of officials heard this, they were shocked and stood rooted to the spot, unable to react for a long time.
