Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

"Your Majesty, on a private visit in disguise, discovered clues of rebellion in the Daxuan area of ​​Anbin County and decided to lead the troops to Jingzhou. As the Prime Minister, I shall accompany you."

Su Luoxue put her hands in front of her and spoke to Ji Xian in a very formal manner.

“…”

Ji Xian was stunned for two seconds before reacting.

As his smile spread, he excitedly walked forward and held Su Luoxue's hand.

Ji Xian is also an extremely smart person. When Su Luoxue said this, he understood it immediately.

Su Luoxue was looking for a reason for him to officially leave Chang'an and Yongzhou!

"Aunt, I'm so touched!" Ji Xian was so excited that she wanted to hug Su Luoxue.

"Only until the Crazy Dragon Gang incident is over. And don't call me like that. Stay away from me." Su Luoxue pushed him away coldly and poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

What this means is that after I finish dealing with the matters between the Mad Dragon Gang and Lu Zhanfei, I will come back to Chang'an obediently.

However, when Su Luoxue said these words, she looked away and seemed a little shy.

It was not because of Ji Xian’s actions, but because of Ji Xian’s words, because he called her “Auntie”.

It was true that Su Luoxue was Ji Xian's aunt, but since she was a child, Su Luoxue hated Ji Xian calling her that. Ji Xian listened to her advice and called her that less often.

But it seems unrealistic to completely stop him from calling her like this. Ji Xian still calls her like this occasionally, and Su Luoxue can only remind him over and over again without getting tired of it.

When Su Luoxue turned around to look at Ji Xian, she saw that Ji Xian was nodding vigorously.

Seeing how cooperative he was, Su Luoxue also guessed it roughly.

I guess Ji Xian will have to run away by then, so we should be more cautious then.

Su Luoxue thought of a plan, but she did not expose Ji Xian. Instead, she took out a feather from her sleeve and gathered her spiritual energy into it.

After a while, a bird's cry was heard in the sky, and a bird with long feathers that looked very beautiful fell from the sky and landed on Su Luoxue's finger.

This bird, called the Phoenix Bird, is a species of exotic beast and the most numerous in the world. It is trained by many martial arts sects and local government agencies to replace carrier pigeons and spirit pigeons as a means of communication.

This bird can travel ten thousand miles a day. No matter where in the Nine Provinces and Four Regions it is, it will arrive within a day.

The Fengming bird also has another ability, that is, as long as someone carries its feathers, no matter where that person is, it can find its own feathers through sensing, and thus accurately find the person carrying the feathers to send a message.

Su Luoxue summoned Fengmingniao to deliver a message to Moyu in Anbin County, telling her that there was no need to search or block the area any further. She and His Majesty would immediately travel south to Jingzhou to deal with the Kuanglong Gang.

Of course, Su Luoxue also had to inform Prime Minister Di Qingtian, who was still in Chang'an, and her father, Yin Longshuai, about this matter to reassure them.

After Su Luoxue finished dealing with all these, Ji Xian set off for the nearby fishing village as planned, preparing to take a boat south to Jingzhou.

The only difference from the original plan was that Su Luoxue was with him this time.

........

After a while, the phoenix flew to Anbin County.

Lieutenant Mo Yu of the Fierce Sparrow Guard received Su Luoxue's message. After understanding the situation, she ordered those around her, "Fierce Sparrow Guard, listen up! Lift the martial law in Anbin County. Then, follow me south immediately and head to Lingling to await orders."

"Yes!"

Then, Mo Yu led the Lieque Guard to the south first.

Su Luoxue explained the general situation in the letter, and also ordered Mo Yu to lead the Lieque Guard south and be ready to obey orders at any time.

Although it is not difficult to deal with the affairs of the Mad Dragon Gang and the Flame Phoenix Sect in theory, Su Luoxue is a cautious person. It is always a good thing to have more people, and their Great Zhou has no shortage of manpower.

In less than two hours, the phoenix bird flew to Chang'an again.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, Di Qingtian, was currently reviewing memorials on behalf of the Emperor Ji Xian. It was already evening, but he was still busy for the Great Zhou.

Di Qingtian was used to it. After all, he was even busier than this during the chaotic times. In comparison, it was considered easy now.

At this moment, a phoenix bird flew into the house and landed on the corner of Di Qingtian's table.

Di Qingtian immediately recognized Su Luoxue's phoenix bird and immediately retrieved the letter from the letterbox in the bird's leg. He then learned about Su Luoxue's latest findings in Anbin County and her upcoming trip south with His Majesty.

"That's great." Di Qingtian looked at Su Luoxue's handwriting on the letter, raised his head to look at the ceiling, and said with a smile: "I also want to take a vacation."

Di Qingtian saw what Su Luoxue meant. Naturally, she wanted to use the incident between the Mad Dragon Gang and the Flame Phoenix Sect to allow Ji Xian to go to Jingzhou for a good rest, which could also be regarded as satisfying his wish to leave Chang'an.

Speaking of which, the Da Zhou Mi Wei currently carrying out missions in Jingzhou seems to be the Bai Ma Wei.

But Di Qingtian remembered that the mission that the White Horse Guards were carrying out seemed to be to track down Baili Qiankun, the national teacher who was among the former Daxuan rebels, and there was no mention that Lu Zhanfei was also in Jingzhou.

Baili Qiankun, the former national teacher of the Daxuan rebels and one of the twelve Yang Gods who protect the country, is even stronger than Lu Zhanfei. Even among the Yang Gods who protect the country of the Great Zhou, he is definitely a top figure.

More importantly, the instigator of the blood sacrifice disaster was Baili Qiankun, who was a wanted target of the Great Zhou.

But after the collapse of Daxuan, all the forces under Daxuan became scattered soldiers and guerrillas, and Baili Qiankun seemed to have never had any intersection with the other remnants of Daxuan.

Is it a coincidence that Baili Qiankun and Lu Zhanfei appeared in Jingzhou at the same time? Or are these remnants of the Daxuan faction planning to regroup and make a comeback?

Although the White Horse Guards are now in Jingzhou, and with the addition of Prime Minister Su and His Majesty, this lineup should be foolproof, but Di Qingtian is somewhat worried.

Then, Di Qingtian also summoned a phoenix bird to send a message to Bai Majun, informing him of Lu Zhanfei's situation and that His Majesty and Su Shoufu were heading to Jingzhou, asking him to pay more attention.

1.14 His Majesty the Emperor listened to his aunt playing the piano for him

Jingzhou is located in the southernmost part of the Nine Provinces in the Central Plains. If you take the water route from Anbin County, you will pass through Yuzhou before you can reach the Nanjun area of ​​Jingzhou.

The weather was clear at this time, and a boat was sailing down the river with the wind, on its way to Jingzhou.

Ji Xian was lying on the bow of the boat at this time, basking in the sun and enjoying the wind, with a small reed in her mouth, looking very content and enjoying herself.

Last night, he and Su Luoxue arrived at a nearby fishing village. In the early morning, they successfully bought a boat from the boatman and set off south to Jingzhou before sunrise.

In recent days, the south wind has been blowing in the Yongyu area, so there is no need for anyone to control the boat, and we can just go south with the wind.

The sky is blue with white clouds. I can hear the sound of wind and water when I close my eyes. I feel very comfortable and peaceful.

To be honest, she had always been uncomfortable living in the palace, and her heart was always filled with irritability and discomfort. It had been a long time since she felt such peace of mind as she did now.

I really hope this moment can stay like this forever.

Ji Xian imagined an impossible future, but even so, he was still very happy in his heart.

Su Luoxue came out of the cabin at this time, her long, shiny black hair fluttering in the wind, showing her stunning beauty under the bright sunshine.

As soon as Su Luoxue came out of the cabin, she saw Ji Xian lying on the bow basking in the sun.

Originally, she had something to say to him, but seeing how comfortable he looked, Su Luoxue did not disturb him. Instead, she walked over and sat down beside him.

Su Luoxue hadn't seen Ji Xian so relaxed and happy for a long time, so she let him enjoy it for a while.

Ji Xian, who was basking in the sun with her eyes closed, felt someone sitting down next to her, so she smiled and said, "Do you want to bask in the sun with me?"

"No, just sit with you for a while, Ji Xian."

"It's so boring just sitting there. Luoxue, please play the piano for me."

“…”

Su Luoxue said nothing and looked towards the cabin.

This boat is of quite large size and is used by fishermen from the fishing village to fish in the Wangyue Lake area. In addition, it has rooms for living and even a stove for cooking. It is also used to receive guests crossing the lake.

Su Luoxue paid a lot of money to buy it directly. Many of the things that the fishermen had left were on the boat. The fishing rods, bait, fishing nets and so on were all piled at the bow.

But in addition to these, there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the cabin, including a xylophone, which Ji Xian saw when she got on board.

Su Luoxue didn't refuse Ji Xian's request. She stood up again after just sitting down for a while. She returned to the cabin to get the zither, went to the bow and sat down again, placing the zither on the wooden box as a zither table.

But as soon as she sat down, Ji Xian suddenly leaned towards her and put his head on her legs.

"..."

Su Luoxue remained silent and didn't say much. Instead, she raised her slender fingers and began to play.

Then, in addition to the sound of wind and water, there was another sound on this wide river, the beautiful and pleasant sound of a piano.

Su Luoxue's playing was incredibly beautiful and moving. The melodious sound echoed across the river, reaching deep into people's hearts. It seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, without the slightest sense of disobedience, as if the music belonged here.

Ji Xian still had her eyes closed, but a bright smile appeared on her face, and her fingers were tapping the wooden board to keep the rhythm as the piano music changed.

Although Su Luoxue's piano music began to speed up, Ji Xian's heart was calmer than before.

Su Luoxue's piano music drives spiritual power. This is not a simple performance, it is even a kind of spiritual pressure, a magical fluctuation that does not make people feel uncomfortable, but only relaxed.

If the prayer dance of Yelu Yinxue, the goddess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is the best dance in the world, then Su Luoxue's Youxinqin is the best zither in the world.

The former's dance is good at shocking people's hearts, making them feel relaxed and intoxicated.

The latter's piano is good at being as quiet as still water. No matter what the rhythm is or what mood it brings to others, the heart must be calm and happy.

Ji Xian listened to the piano played for him for a long time. He even forgot the time and didn't know whether Su Luoxue played for half an hour or an hour.

Ji Xian didn't open her eyes until the piano music stopped.

What I saw when I opened my eyes was Su Luoxue's absolutely beautiful face.

Ji Xian smiled happily and asked, "When was the last time you played the piano for me alone, Luoxue?"

Ji Xian no longer remembered, but Su Luoxue still remembered it clearly: "Six years ago, in the Imperial Garden, only Ji Xian and I were there."

"You still remember it so clearly. I can't remember it at all."

Ji Xian sighed. The only thing he could still clearly recall was when Su Luoxue first started playing the zither ten years ago. The first time she played it, the sound was already peerless.

At that time, Ji Xian only thought that Luoxue was so powerful, while Luoxue's master Pang Yuanchu looked at her in dumbfounded.

Pang Yuanchu had originally intended to teach Su Luoxue the Wen Tian Lu technique, which involved using zither music for combat. However, Su Luoxue's first performance had yielded such impressive results, rivaling any top zither master in the world.

If we ignore the fighting and only consider her piano skills, she is the best in the world.

Even if we take combat into account, perhaps only the Sky Fox Marshal, one of the Seven Marshals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can rival her. And the Sky Fox Marshal is a supreme power who has suppressed the world and is one of the strongest people in the world today.

At this moment, the topic was just opened, and Su Luoxue took the opportunity to talk about business: "I just received a letter from the Prime Minister."

"Old man Di, what did he say?"

"He said that the wanted criminal Baili Qiankun has also appeared in Jingzhou and asked us to be extra careful. If necessary, the White Horse Commander and the White Horse Guards will cooperate with us."

"Bai Li Qian Kun?"

Ji Xian rested her head on Su Luoxue's thighs, tilted her head and thought for a while before remembering the name: "This seems to be the national teacher of the rebel party. How come he is also in Jingzhou?"

"I don't know. The White Horse Guards are still investigating the specific situation."

"Then let's solve his problem as well!"

Ji Xian shouted happily.

Su Luoxue knew that Ji Xianguan wanted to stay in Jingzhou for a while longer so that he could have more fun. However, Su Luoxue did not expose him, but just responded with a "hmm" and nodded.

"Call me after lunch. Now let me get some sleep. I didn't get any sleep last night."

"Ah."

Then, Ji Xian closed her eyes again, and this time she really relaxed and planned to sleep.

From escaping from the brothel last night to the mess on the official road in the dense forest, and then going to the fishing village to buy a boat and sailing south until now, Ji Xian and Su Luoxue have not slept all night.

Although not sleeping for one night is nothing to a Yangshen master, it is not a serious situation now, so why make yourself suffer?

So Ji Xian fell asleep naturally, with her head resting on Su Luoxue's legs.

But before falling asleep, Ji Xian muttered in a daze: "It would be great if I could live like this forever, I like it so much..."

When he finished speaking, Ji Xian had already fallen asleep and his breathing became even.

Su Luoxue didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and looked at Ji Xian's familiar face, reached out her hands to hold his face, and looked at him quietly for a long time.

To be honest, Su Luoxue couldn't remember the last time she watched Ji Xian sleep like this.

The only thing she could clearly recall was the time when she first met him. At that time, Ji Xian followed Prime Minister Di and her master to learn about government affairs. She was exhausted every day and often slacked off and slept in.

At that time, because of this incident, her master and her sister beat Ji Xian a lot.

Ji Xian obviously has a very handsome face, but because he always acts badly, people often feel that it is a pity for his handsome face.

But Su Luoxue hadn't seen this happy and relaxed face for a long time.

After watching it for an unknown amount of time, Su Luoxue whispered, "I like it too..."
