On the surface, Xiao Wuji's mission was to suppress bandits, but in fact, it was essentially counterinsurgency.
It's just that Yuan Xiong wanted to save some face for the deposed King of Yue, so he said it was to suppress bandits.
I think this is what Emperor Jingtai meant.
After all, King Fei Yue was dead. Emperor Jingtai wanted to save some dignity for his dead son, and did not want him to be accused of treason after his death.
"This group of bandits is in Yuezhou, which is the southern border."
Xiao Wuji said
"That's right, this bandit suppression must be guaranteed to be flawless, and at the same time, the lost ordnance of the imperial court must be recovered. You can rest assured that you will be the third brother."
Yuan Xiong looked at Xiao Wuji and said:"Judging from the number of weapons, this group of bandits has at least tens of thousands of people."
"In order to ensure that this group of bandits are wiped out, you can go directly to the Huainan Palace in Black Eagle City to mobilize troops."
"King of Huainan? He is not...?"
"That's right. Yuan
Xiong smiled and nodded,"King Huainan is the father of Princess Xinran. Now Princess Xinran is your subordinate. With this relationship, King Huainan will not embarrass you." Xiao
Wuji's mouth twitched and he said,"It turns out that Third Brother has already thought about it. The reason why Princess Xinran was transferred to my command is because of today, right?""
"Third brother, you are really farsighted.
Yuan Xiong laughed loudly,"What kind of foresight is just a coincidence?""
"Princess Xinran said that she would come to Beizhen Fusi to serve as a royal guard. Can the third brother refuse?"
"If the third brother dares to refuse, Princess Xinran will burn the third brother's beard."
"As for why Princess Xinran was transferred to serve under you, that was not chosen by the third brother, but by Princess Xinran herself."
"I don’t know what’s good about you, but Princess Xinran is interested in you."
Yuan Xiong touched his chin and looked around Xiao Wuji, trying to see what attracted Xia Xinran to Xiao Wuji.
Xiao Wuji said expressionlessly:"Third brother, don't say this nonsense, Princess Xinran. I didn’t fall in love with my younger brother. She was just bored and looking for something to do."
"These royal children had lived a very stable life since childhood, so they wanted to find some excitement."
Yuan Xiong patted Xiao Wuji's shoulder and said with a smile:"If you are just talking nonsense, you will know in the future. The third brother is someone who has been here before, so he will not be mistaken."
Xiao Wuji said:"Third brother, don't forget, my younger brother is already married, so he won't think about what he has and what he doesn't have."
Yuan Xiong frowned and said,"I almost forgot about this incident."
"Okay, the joke ends here.
Xiao Wuji stood up and said,"I'm going to pack up and set off immediately.""
Yuan Xiong nodded and said:"Have a safe trip, be careful in everything."
"Remember, Princess Xinran must be protected.
Xiao Wuji frowned and said,"Do I have to take her with me?" She's just a burden"
"Now that she's gone, I have to distract myself from protecting her. It's too much trouble."
"What burden? Xiao Wuji, don’t underestimate people!"
As soon as Xiao Wuji finished speaking, Xia Xinran barged in from the door, her little face was angry, like a little wild cat with fried hair.
"Tell me clearly, who is the burden?"
Xia Xinran rushed in front of Xiao Wuji, with a small face coming towards him, and his teeth were bared, showing two small tiger teeth.
Behind him was a uniformed guard commander, who was guarding the gate for Yuan Xiong.
At this moment, the commander-in-chief looked helpless. He looked at Xiao Wuji and Yuan Xiong seductively.
If it were anyone else, he would have stopped them from breaking in.
But for Xia Xinran, the aunt, he didn't dare to stop her, and he couldn't stop her. He could only let her break in. Come on.
Xiao Wuji turned his head away from Xia Xinran, with a calm expression on his face, as if the person who just said Xia Xinran was a burden was not her at all.
"you..."
Xia Xinran was furious when she saw Xiao Wuji not saying a word. She had never seen such a shameless person like Xiao Wuji.
He was talking bad things about her just now, and yet he was caught red-handed and still kept his composure.
"Okay, Princess Xinran, you will go with me on this mission."
Yuan Xiong looked at Xia Xinran and said with a smile:"When you follow Wuji, you must be obedient and don't make your own decisions or act without permission."
"The real world is very dangerous. If you make any mistake, you may lose your life, so you must be extremely careful."
Yuan Xiong said earnestly.
Xia Xinran smiled and said:"Uncle Yuan, don't worry, I can protect myself."
"No matter what, I still have Aunt Hua to protect me, so there is no need for him at all."
After saying that, Xia Xinran rolled her eyes at Xiao Wuji, her eyes full of disgust.
Xiao Wuji clasped his fists at Yuan Xiong and said,"Third brother, I have to leave first."
After saying that, Xiao Wuji turned and left.
Although Xia Xinran was angry, she followed Xiao Wuji closely.
If she didn't follow Xiao Wuji, she wouldn't be able to get out of Jinling City.
"Ding, the host triggers a mission: wipe out the rebels"
"It is detected that there are still remnants of the rebels from the deposed Yue King. Please ask the host to clear out the remnants of the rebels and kill at least 90% of them."
"Mission reward: Max level Astrology"
"Astrological laws? What's this?"
Xiao Wuji frowned slightly, and for a moment he didn't remember what kind of martial arts Astrology Law was.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, he finally remembered that Astrology Law was not a martial arts, but a Taoist art.
In other words, it was a divination technique.
"Even the art of divination has been introduced, which is interesting."
Xiao Wuji smiled, didn't take it to heart, and went straight back to Xiao Mansion to say goodbye to Su Wan'er.
The two warmed up, and Xiao Wuji quickly rushed back to Beizhen Fusi.
When he returned to Beizhen Fusi, Xue Hua , Song Limin, Xia Xinran and the beautiful woman Hua Yi are already waiting at the door.
It is a long way to go to Yuezhou this time, so it is not advisable to bring too many people.
Anyway, if you go to Yuezhou, you can go to Huainan Palace to mobilize troops
"Let's go."
Xiao Wuji got on his horse and left with the four of them.
"I can finally leave the city. I haven’t been to Yuezhou yet."
"I heard that the people of Yuezhou are tough and have many masters. Is this true?"
Xia Xinran was riding on the horse, very excited. She kept chattering all the way.
Xiao Wuji said expressionlessly:"Your Highness, we are going to suppress bandits, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"You need to understand this. Xia
Xinran snorted and said:"Of course I know that I am going to suppress the bandits, but haven't I reached Yuezhou yet?"" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Besides, when we get to Yuezhou, if you want to mobilize troops to the Huainan Palace, you have to go through this princess."
"Without this princess to go with you, it will not be so easy for you to mobilize your troops."
Xia Xinran's words are indeed correct. Huainan King Xia Yuanxiang has 200,000 troops to guard the southern border.
His men are all brave soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they only serve the Huainan King.
If Xiao Wuji only brought the thirteen Jinyi Guards The Taibao Order goes to mobilize troops, but King
Huainan really may not pay attention to him. King Huainan’s army is completely different from the defenders of Hanzhou City.
The defenders of Hanzhou City may obey Xiao Wuji’s orders, but King Huainan’s army does not You may not take Xiao Wuji seriously
"I wonder what the Dog Emperor thinks? Isn't he afraid of a prince like the King of Huainan who has 200,000 troops guarding the southern border all year round?"
"Since ancient times, few vassal kings who have made great achievements have ended well."
Over the years, the army in the south has begun to see situations where they only know the Huainan King but not the emperor.
Xiao Wuji knows that no emperor can tolerate such a thing.
Although the Huainan King Xia Yuanxiang is the sibling brother of Emperor Jingtai and has always been loyal to him Geng Geng.
But as an emperor, Emperor Jingtai would inevitably be suspicious.
Once Emperor Jingtai thought that King Huainan was rebelling,, even if King Huainan is his brother, Emperor Jingtai will not show mercy.
At that time, there will be civil strife between the king and his ministers, and brotherhood will kill each other!
The King of Huainan left Xia Xinran in Jinling City, presumably to reassure Emperor Jingtai.
After all, with Xia Xinran as a hostage, King Huainan will not rebel
"The reason why the emperor was willing to let Xia Xinran go to the south with me this time was probably because he wanted to test King Huainan."
Xiao Wuji glanced at Xia Xinran and thought silently in his heart.
If Xia Xinran went to the Huainan Prince's Mansion in the south, the King of Huainan kept her on the pretext that he had not seen his daughter for many years and wanted to keep her for a while, and Xiao Wuji did not. Reason to bring him back.
By then, the emperor will lose Xia Xinran as a hostage.
In the view of Emperor Jingtai, King Huainan's behavior is undoubtedly preparing for rebellion.
As the emperor, he will plan to reduce the vassal.
If King Huainan did not keep Xia Xinran, but still sent her back to Jinling, it would prove that King Huainan had no objection.
In this way, the emperor could feel at ease.
In short, this mission was not just to suppress bandits and quell rebellion. , and it was also an invisible confrontation between Emperor Jingtai and King Huainan.
Xiao Wuji wanted to understand this and couldn't help but sigh at Emperor Jingtai's imperial power.
Although the dog emperor became more and more stupid as he got older, he still used this imperial power. He was as proficient as he was when he was young.
Yuezhou is thousands of miles away from Jinling. Even if 537 had to travel day and night, it would still take at least eight or nine days to arrive. What's more,
Xiao Wuji and his party only traveled during the day, and they all traveled at night. It was time to rest.
After traveling for ten days, Xiao Wuji and his party only walked more than half of the distance.
On this day, Xiao Wuji and others found an inn to rest.
"Have you heard about it? Nangong Yue, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, is looking for a husband."
"ah? real or fake? Unlikely"
"That is to say, Nangong Yue is the third most beautiful woman on the Rouge List, and is also the top talent on the Qianlong List."
"Why does such a person need a son-in-law? I'm afraid that anyone who goes to the Nangong family to propose marriage will break through the threshold of her family."
"You don’t understand, it’s because there are so many people going to the Nangong family to propose marriage that the Nangong family wants to find a son-in-law for Nangong Yue, so as not to offend many martial arts comrades."
"That’s it. It seems that it’s not good for people who are too good."
"That is to say, if you marry your daughter to the Li family, you will offend the Wang family; if you marry your daughter to the Wang family, you will offend the Liu family."
"However, the Nangong family has a profound background and is connected to the royal family. They shouldn't care about offending fellow martial arts, right?"
"From what you said, so what if you have a deep foundation? If you want to survive in the martial arts world, you must be good at dancing and make friends with heroes from all over the world."
"It's not a wise move to offend someone rashly"
"Moreover, the Nangong Family can take this opportunity to show their face in front of others and make the name of the Nangong Family even more famous. Why not?"
"I see."
A few people nodded silently, and finally realized
"By the way, what are the requirements for the Nangong family to recruit a son-in-law?"
"If I could bring Nangong Yue, this beautiful girl from heaven, into my house, I would be willing to do so even if I was young."
"What does it mean to live ten years less? If I could succeed, I would be willing to live twenty years shorter"
"There is some news from the Nangong Family that the recruitment of a son-in-law will be held in Jinling City. All young talents under the age of thirty can participate."
"Those who participate in recruiting a son-in-law do not need to have a prominent family background. Even if they are born into poverty, they can do so, but they must have real talent and learning."
"When recruiting a son-in-law for the Nangong family, they must not only have outstanding martial arts skills, but also have good looks, outstanding talents, excellent moral character, etc."
