Chapter 879 No official and light
Qin Xiao was in a very low mood on his way home from Dali Temple.
Su Yu told him that he had asked the saint to resign and return to his hometown. This surprised Qin Xiao. Thinking about it, after he was transferred to Dali Temple, Su Yu not only did not suppress and exclude him, but also took care of him. This old man could be regarded as his own. One of the few sources of help from Kyoto.
Now that the old man suddenly wants to go into seclusion, he is not only surprised but also sad.
In fact, he also understood in his heart that Su Yu chose to retire at this juncture in the hope of being able to escape. Without Qin Xiao, what kind of situation Dali Temple will face next, no one knows, Su Yu obviously I feel really tired and have no intention of continuing to wade through the muddy water.
However, Qin Xiao knew that the people in the Ministry of Punishment should be the happiest when he was dismissed from his position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
After returning to the mansion, everyone in the mansion was naturally overjoyed. No one knew that Qin Xiao had been dismissed from office, but it would be better for Qin Xiao to come back safely.
"Sister Qiu Niang, I have something to tell you." Back in the east courtyard, Qin Xiao looked depressed: "We don't know how long we can live in this house."
Qiuniang was a little surprised. She sat down on the edge and asked, "What happened?"
"I won't hide it from you. My official position has been dismissed. The saint also rewarded me with food. Before I got this grain, the food was taken back." Qin Xiao said helplessly: "I have nothing to do now. The official has no position, no food, no salary, and he is just a white man."
Qiuniang was not surprised, and said softly: "They said before that if you kill the Prince of Bohai, the people of Bohai will not let it go. Now you are just dismissed from your official position and save your life. This is the best result. As long as you live, That’s better than anything else.”
"But how will we live in the future?" Qin Xiao sighed: "This house is the Shaoqing's Mansion. My position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple has been dismissed and will be taken back in a few days."
Qiuniang immediately said: "You have forgotten that a few days ago you asked me to bring back several carts of gifts. Those gifts can be converted into money, which we will never be able to use up in our lifetime."
"This is what worries me." Qin Xiao picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said: "These gifts are sent by various ministries. I heard that someone in the court wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble for me, so all these gifts must be returned. I have no official position now, and those who gave the gifts must also want to take the things back, and these gifts cannot be kept."
Qiuniang was stunned at first, then saw Qin Xiao's distressed look on her face, and comforted her: "It's okay, didn't you give me some money back before? I've saved it all, and I still have the cloth village...!" Thinking of something, He asked softly: "Is Buzhuang no longer safe?"
Qin Xiao nodded, Qiuniang was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, it really won't work, let's just go back to Kushui Lane. I can still punt, and no one collects river fees now, and we earn more than before. I will never die of hunger.”
"Are you going to go back and continue punting?" Qin Xiao looked at Qiuniang.
Qiuniang felt a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know how to do anything else. I can only do this to supplement the household income."
"Then you're not afraid of those people before laughing at you?"
"Then there is nothing to be afraid of." Qiuniang said nonchalantly: "We are not going to steal or rob. We rely on our strength to earn money. There is no shame in it. But you, when you were an official before, you couldn't do such strenuous work, and you would be punished.
Talk about gossip. Let’s save more from now on and we’ll always have enough to eat.”
Qin Xiao looked at Qiuniang's nonchalant look, and a smile couldn't help appearing on her lips. Qiuniang saw him smiling at her, feeling a little uncomfortable and said awkwardly: "Why are you laughing?"
"I just feel that I am blessed." Qin Xiao held Qiu Niang's hand: "Sister Qiu Niang, no matter you are poor or rich, we will always be inseparable in this life."
Qiuniang heard the gentle voice, lowered her head, and said with a faint smile on her face: "I...I gave you everything, of course...of course I won't separate from you."
Qin Xiao had some confidence in his heart. The last time he sneaked into the palace, he unexpectedly learned that he was the Seven Kills Auxiliary Star of the Saint. From this alone, he knew that the Saint would never leave him alone.
Although he has been dismissed from his official position as the Young Minister of Dali Temple, he knows that this is nothing more than a temporary show for the Bohai Mission, so that both sides can get off the ground. After this matter is over, the saint should still make arrangements for him.
New errand.
The previous saint had already revealed his intentions, and was planning to set up a Protectorate in Jiangnan. When the time comes, he will go to Jiangnan to help prepare for the establishment of the Protectorate. If no accidents happen, it will not take long for him to give himself an order.
But I definitely can’t go back to Dali Temple.
In the next few days, Qin Xiao ignored what was going on outside the window and locked himself in the yard. Qiuniang went out to deliver food at the right time, and no one else was allowed to enter without permission.
Of course, everyone in the mansion soon knew that their master had been dismissed from his official position. Although they felt that his life would be difficult in the future, he was working as an errand in the mansion and had no worries about food and clothing. Qin Xiao did not say anything about dismissing everyone, so naturally he did not
Some people will leave on their own initiative.
Qin Xiao was locked up in the courtyard and did not come out. Everyone thought that the master was depressed because he was dismissed from his official position and did not want to see anyone.
Naturally, no one knows that Qin Xiao has not left home these days, but he practices diligently every day. In addition to the uninterrupted practice of [Ancient Yi Qi Jue], the most important thing is the Linghu Treading Wave taught by Mr. Er. This set of steps
The Dharma is so mysterious that even with Qin Xiao's intelligence, it is not easy to comprehend it in a short time.
Linghu Treading evolved from Bagua, so the whole set of steps is actually divided into eight chapters, but they are mutually tolerant and changeable. According to what Mr. Er said at the time, if you can integrate these eight chapters, you can become proficient in them.
, even if you encounter a master of the Great Heaven Realm, you may not be able to escape by relying on the spirit fox to step on the waves.
Along the way, Qin Xiao met many masters. What was terrible was that after he broke through to the fourth level at an extremely fast speed, there seemed to be no more signs of breakthrough after that. If he met a master again in the future, he would not be able to defeat him.
, I really need this set of footwork to save my life.
He was a hard-working person. When he lived alone in Xiling Turtle City, he would get up every morning for several years to practice Bajiquan. The Bajiquan was a boxing technique taught to him by Old Man Zhong to strengthen his body.
Intermittent.
Nowadays, the skills he has learned are far from being comparable to Tai Chi. It is just that he is busy with many things and does not have as much free time as he did in Turtle City.
Now that I finally have some free time, I will naturally not slack off.
In addition to insisting on practicing the [Ancient Intention Art] every day, the Blood Demon's sword skills also continued, and most of his time was spent on familiarizing himself with the Spirit Fox Treading Waves.
After many days, no one came to disturb me. Six days later, Qiuniang finally brought the news that the Bohai Mission had left Kyoto. Before leaving, the saint issued a decree granting marriage, announcing to the world that Yonghe would be
The princess gave Bohai Yongzang King, making the two countries a marriage country.
The imperial court sent Liu Boxun, the Minister of Rites, to see the bride off, and mobilized a team of Shence Army soldiers to escort her to the border.
Qin Xiao knew that after the Bohai envoy returned to China, there would probably be no good results. The two envoys Cui Shangyuan and Zhao Zhengyu would inevitably be punished by Yuan Gaijian when they returned home. After all, the Bohai Molizhi handed over his beloved son.
He was taken care of by two envoys and went on a lively mission to the Tang Dynasty, but he could only return to the Bohai Sea with a mangled corpse.
Qin Xiao could even imagine Yuan Gaijian's expression when he saw his beloved son being stabbed through the intestines. If Bohai Molizhi knew that this was done by Qin Xiao, Viscount of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely list Qin Xiao as a must-kill in Bohai.
in the list of people.
After a few days, Linghu has become quite proficient in riding waves, but fully understanding or even practicing this set of footwork to perfection cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.
After that night, Mr. Er no longer appeared, but when Qin Xiao thought of Mr. Er, he immediately thought of Hongye, and when he thought of Hongye, he immediately thought of Zhiming Academy.
After Hong Ye separated from him in Hangzhou, her whereabouts were unknown, and Qin Xiao didn't know whether she had returned to Beijing, let alone whether she was in Zhimingyuan.
However, he also knew from Qiuniang's mouth that Zhimingyuan was actually not far from his residence and could be reached in less than an hour by car.
Zhimingyuan is naturally a mysterious place for Qin Xiao. The most important thing is that Qin Xiao always feels that he is likely to find clues about his life experience from Zhimingyuan.
After Old Man Zhong passed away, he lived in Turtle City, and Hongye had been protecting him secretly since then. If Hongye said that there was no relationship with Old Man Zhong, Qin Xiao would never believe it.
When she encountered difficulties in Kame Castle, Hongye had told herself that if there was no way out, she could go to Kyoto to find Chimei-in. This can also prove that Hongye and Chimei-in must be related. If Old Man Zhong and Hongye have a connection,
This also shows that there is some kind of relationship between Old Man Zhong and Zhimingyuan.
From the time I can remember, I don't know who my parents are. They have always been taken care of by Old Man Zhong. Why would Old Man Zhong take such good care of a child who is not related to him by blood?
Old Man Zhong never mentions Qin Xiao's life experience. What is the reason for this?
Old Man Zhong can take good care of himself, he must be very clear about his own life experience, otherwise he would not take such good care of a child who does not even know his life experience.
There seemed to be a voice deep in Qin Xiao's heart telling him that if he wanted to pursue the mystery of his life experience, Zhimingyuan was a crucial place.
After he came to Beijing, he thought about going to Zhimingyuan several times to explore the truth, but there was really no reason to go to an academy rashly. Once he was stared at by someone with ulterior motives, he would probably become suspicious, and Qin Xiao knew
Since the academy has been so cautious, it is likely that it does not want the two parties to have too direct contact in the open.
So he had this idea several times, but gave it up.
But this time the second gentleman appeared, he guessed that the second gentleman might be related to Zhimingyuan, and he was even more curious about Zhimingyuan. He wanted to take advantage of these few days to check the truth. Compared with before, he had no reason, but this time he thought of it.
