Liguo.

Xijing, Imperial Palace.

All the civil and military officials in the court were all listed, and Emperor Ku sat upright. He looked about in his early forties and had deep bags of his eyes, which made his eyes look particularly heavy. In addition, his martial arts cultivation was extremely high, and all the civil and military officials in the court were stared at by him, and they all stood in a frightened state.

There are only a few in the class who are not afraid.

One of them is the crown prince's tutor, Qi Yuan, the current head of the Qi family among the two pillars of the country; the other is the Shangshu Ling Xie Baoren, who is the current head of the Xie family.

Emperor Ku suddenly broke the silence and said, "Guo State stationed troops in Yizhou, can you have any countermeasures?"

Qi Yuan was working as a squad. He was about the same age as Xie Baoren and Emperor Ku, but he seemed the most steady among the three. He politely said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. I sent someone to contact the Guo State mission first. When I learned about the garrison of the army, it was all due to the Xie family's son."

Of course Emperor Ku knew, and even all the civil and military officials in the court knew about this. But Xie Qingyun was Xie Baoshu's child, Xie Baoshu was the direct bloodline of the Grand Duke of the Xie family, and was half-brother with Xie Baoren, so this matter still depends on how the Xie family plans to deal with it.

Xie Baoren looked the gentlest and harmless, but immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Xie Baoshu has been expelled by my Xie family, so his children are naturally not considered as children of Xie family."

"But it's all your surname is Xie." Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Xie Baoren snorted coldly: "Grandfather said that Xie Qingyun learned the art of alchemy and was shamed for Xie's family, so he would not admit it."

Qi Yuan clenched and said, "But the matter was indeed caused by Xie Qingyun, so Lord Xie can't refuse the blame. I have a way here, so that Xie Qingyun can fall into the trap. Since Xie does not recognize Xie Qingyun, he will probably not be able to bear it. Besides, he can only keep it safe by handing over Xie Qingyun, and Lord Xie should be very clear about it."

Xie Baoren said lightly: "If Lord Qi's plan really works, I will naturally have no choice."

Qi Yuan smiled, and Emperor Ku also smiled faintly, and all the civil and military officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief.

...

After getting off the court, Xie Baoren didn't even go to the official residence, so he went back to Xie's house and came to a winding bamboo forest. He walked to the head along the cobbled path, knelt in front of a bamboo curtain and shouted: "Grandfather."

There was a woman pouring tea in the bamboo curtain. On the cold bed, an old man with a short body squinted his eyes and hummed with a pleasant look.

Outside Youya's courtyard, more than a dozen children from the Xie family were lying on the wall and eavesdropping.

Seeing that his son was also among them, Xie Baoren gave him a fierce look, but did not stop their behavior, but just told him about what happened today.

"The country is over."

The old man said in a sarcastic tone, "A mere Xie Qingyun made Emperor Ku that boy unable to sit still. Guo State dared to fight Yizhou, but they dared to fight? In the Battle of Huqiu, Guo State claimed to be 300,000 elite troops. He should have swept, but was defeated by a small country. The western border was also plagued by Guirong people. Zhou and the two countries remained, and their national strength was comparable. They were eyeing them. Whether they would take advantage of the situation or not, they could not guarantee themselves, so what would they use to attack Li State?"

"I'm bluffing, I think I'm scared you." He sneered, "I've talked to the emperor in the morning about this and that official in front of me? It's so ridiculous."

Xie Baoren suddenly felt blushing and said, "Qi Yuan has made a plan."

"Tell me." The old man said.

Xie Baoren raised his eyebrows and said, "He suggested that we send someone to Baojing City to take back Xie Baoshu's corpse and spiritual position, and lead Xie Qingyun to Xijing."

"Do you think it was Qi Yuan himself?" said the old man.

"Is it the Grand Duke of Qi?" Xie Baoren guessed.

"It's Yunlei Sect." The old man sat up, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said to the woman next to him with a smile, "Qing'er's tea art has improved a lot recently, and the essence of your mother has gained."

"It's good that the grandfather likes it." The woman said reservedly.

"The people of Yunlei Sect have always looked down on us," Xie Baoren said angrily, "and also called us brainless warriors. Relying on being a subordinate of the sect, the grandson thought that it would be fine if he didn't care about this!"

"You still have some blood." The old man looked faint, "However, Yunlei Sect has been arrogant for too long, it is time for them to learn what a warrior is; we must not only take care of this matter, but also take care of it in our own name."

"Please tell my grandfather." Xie Baoren said.

The old man sneered: "You acted according to Yunlei's plan and arrested that boy Xie Qingyun for me, but no matter who asked you for someone, I would not give it to you, and I would just say that I would punish my unfilial descendants myself."

This is going to start a war with Yunlei Sect!

"Grandson understands!"

Xie Baoren's blood was rising, and he immediately got up to make arrangements. Those children who were lying in the corner and eavesdropping had no time to discipline them.

The dozen or so children of the Xie family were all ready to go and wanted to find the people from Yunlei Sect to fight for 300 rounds now.

"Brother Yuandi, to calculate that Xie Qingyun is older than us. Who will we call him when he comes back?" The person who spoke was Xie Baoren's son Xie Yuanjing. He was very beautiful, but for the identity of the children of the Xie family, he seemed too weak.

The youngest of these more than a dozen kids is only in their teens, and the oldest is only seventeen. They are the same age as Xie Qingyun, but Xie Qingyun was born early, so it is correct to calculate it carefully.

Xie Yuandi had wide cheekbones, bright tiger eyes, and a ribbon wrapped in his head. Although he was only seventeen years old, he already had the appearance of an adult man. The fierce aura of fighting from the battlefield was also very obvious. Who would have thought that this kid had experienced more than a dozen wars in succession after two years of joining the army. Now he is famous in the army and has the reputation of General Tiger.

"Whoever has a big fist is the eldest brother!" He snorted coldly, and left with his head raised.

At this time, the only woman among the dozen boys suddenly took out a spear from somewhere, dancing whirring, and finally leaning heavily on the ground, making a dull sound of "bang". Her facial features are beautiful, her skin is healthy, and she has a unique heroic spirit because of her long-term martial arts practice. "I will face Yunlei Sect soon. If I don't practice well, who will embarrass our family, don't blame me for being polite!"

"Second sister speaks, dare not obey her orders!"

The boys ran away in a scattered voice.

The woman's name is Xie Yuanying, who is half-brother of Xie Yuandi, and they are both children of the second master of the Xie family.

Xie Yuanying dispelled her younger brothers and was about to practice martial arts. Suddenly, a girl in a floral dress walked out of the courtyard. Looking at the girl's delicate and weak face, her beautiful eyes that seemed to be seductive, she raised her eyebrows, "Xie Yangqing, why are you blocking me?"

Xie Yangqing's beautiful eyes gently slammed her. Such a man's house must have been attracted by her eyes. She smiled and said, "What did Sister Ying say? My sister is just coming out to relax, but she has never blocked anyone's way. Wherever her sister goes, she will give in."

Xie Yuanying sneered and ridiculed: "If you use your thoughts to serve the grandfather more in practicing, you won't be able to open your own life until today."

"Sister will get married sooner or later," Xie Yangqing said with a smile. "My husband may not like my military strength in the future, so it will be a hindering couple's love."

Xie Yuanying was so angry that she couldn't hear the girl secretly mocking her? She once had a partner who was married, but she chose to break the engagement after being beaten by her, which caused a joke to Xijing.

She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "At how old she is, I want to get married, the Xie family will raise you in vain." Unfortunately, she neither can speak nonsense nor has a delicate heart with seven orifices. This sounds soft and has no force and no power at all. It is equivalent to saying it in vain.

Xie Yangqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Ying, I heard that Brother Qingyun is coming back, but I don't know what he looks like."

"What does it have to do with you?" Xie Yuanying sarcastically said, "He will be detained immediately when he comes back. How can the grandfather punish him? It is embarrassing that the grandson of the Xie family actually practices the alchemy skills!"

Xie Yangqing smiled and said, "Whether the alchemist's skills or martial arts are all for perfecting oneself. But these two things are more outstanding, they are just a moment of courage."

"Oh?" Xie Yuanying sneered, "What kind of path did my sister take for granted? How dare I boast like this."

Xie Yangqing smiled and said, "'If the sky has feelings, the sky will grow old, and the right path on earth is vicissitudes'. Brother Qingyun chanted these two sentences, which are enough to be recorded in history and will be remembered throughout the ages. Oh, I forgot that my sister is always accompanied by swords, guns, and rust. How could she know that the ancient times have been gone, but the famous sentences have always been there forever."

After saying that, he gave a brief tribute and turned around and left.
