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

Su Luoxue successfully plotted against Ji Xian in Yaowang Valley, and Ji Xian also plotted against Su Luoxue on the cliff.

Even if Su Luoxue tried to chase him now, she would not be able to catch up.

But Su Luoxue was so angry that she stomped her feet. She didn't have the aura of the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou at all. Instead, she looked like a little girl, and her face turned red with anger.

She really wanted to tell Ji Xian that the imperial court would not arrest her now, and she wanted to travel the world with her!

Su Luoxue is not good at expressing herself, so she prefers to take action in many things. However, because Ji Xian is the one who has always been by her side, many times Ji Xian can understand her thoughts without her saying much, which makes Su Luoxue feel very comfortable and touched.

But today, for the first time, she felt unhappy with her ability to express herself and her ability to understand Ji Xian.

So angry! ! !

Su Luoxue stood at the bottom of the cliff, covering her head with her hands. She was angry but had no place to vent. She didn't know what to do.

But she didn't know how long she was angry. She finally calmed down, sighed and said, "Oh, forget it, let it be. I'm afraid it will only be temporary if I stay by his side and travel the world..."

........

Ji Xian had successfully escaped at this time, but at the same time, she couldn't help but think about what Su Luoxue had just said while escaping.

"Is what Luoxue just said true?"

Ji Xian was doubting this. He and Su Luoxue grew up together and they understood and trusted each other. Therefore, Ji Xian believed that Luoxue would not deceive him, and would not use such means even if she wanted to bring him back to Chang'an.

But, but what she said made Ji Xian really unable to believe it easily...

Throughout history, have you ever heard of a dynasty where ministers would let the emperor neglect state affairs and wander around the world idle? Not to mention a rotten emperor like Ji Xian, even the biggest tyrant would not allow this!

Although this was said by Luoxue, Ji Xian couldn't believe everything.

It was as if Luo Xue suddenly told herself one day that she was actually a man...

Can Ji Xian be trusted?

Definitely not!

But she is Luoxue, and what she said...

Ji Xian abandoned her rationality and began to follow her inner instinct to believe in Su Luoxue. Not for anything else, just because she was Luoxue, she said, she believed it, it was that simple.

Then, he also analyzed things from this perspective.

Luo Xue just said that Old Man Kong went to Chang'an and persuaded several national guardian gods, the national teacher, and the prime minister. In other words, they must have held a meeting...

Today, the Wen Tian lineage controls the government. The Grand Tutor, the National Master, the Military Advisor, and the Prime Minister are all disciples of Zhang Ziliang. If a meeting really were to be held, these people would definitely be in the same group.

So, this matter might really be...

Ji Xian stopped at this moment, and only then realized that what Luo Xue said seemed to be true...

For a moment, Ji Xian wanted to rush back to find Luoxue. But he had just taken a step when he abruptly stopped himself.

"........"

Ji Xian stood there in silence, and after a while she gave a wry smile: "Forget it, let it be."

What Ji Xian is saying now is so similar to what Su Luoxue said.

Su Luoxue wanted to stay with Ji Xian, and Ji Xian wanted to go back to her after coming to her senses, but after they calmed down, they both thought the same thing.

Because they all knew that this matter certainly had not yet alarmed the retired emperor, Ji Xian's father.

There weren't many high-ranking officials in the Great Zhou who were qualified to intervene in this matter. After all, there weren't many in the Great Zhou with higher status than Kong Mingliang, Zhang Mengxuan, and Di Qingtian. The only ones qualified were Grand Military Advisor Pang Yuanchu, Grand Marshal Lü Wen, the other Seven Marshals of the Great Zhou, the Emperor Emeritus, and the Empress Dowager.

The most qualified and powerful among these people are naturally the retired emperor Ji Xingyu and Silver Dragon Commander, who is the father of Ji Xian and Su Luoxue.

Ji Xian couldn't say what attitude Marshal Yinlong had after he knew about this, but as for what the Supreme Emperor said...both Ji Xian and Su Luoxue could guess that he would never tolerate Ji Xian abandoning the Great Zhou and traveling around the world.

I'm afraid that after Emperor Xingzong knew about this, he would return to Chang'an as soon as possible, but not to preside over the government for Ji Xian, but to immediately order all the elite troops of the Great Zhou to capture Ji Xian.

Although the Wentian clan all sided with Kong Mingliang, they were loyal ministers and dared not overstep their bounds. The decision they had made was within the scope of the Great Zhou laws. However, if Emperor Xingzong really gave an order, even Kong Mingliang would probably have no choice but to carry it out.

This is also the reason why Kong Mingliang dared not guarantee it and only said it was temporary. Because he also knew that what he had won for Ji Xian was nothing more than a period of vacation. If he alerted Emperor Xingzong, it would only increase the intensity of the arrest of Ji Xian.

Su Luoxue was no exception. Even if she stayed with Ji Xian, she would have no choice but to turn against her and take Ji Xian back to Chang'an once Emperor Xingzong's order came.

This is why Ji Xian and Su Luoxue finally let out the same sigh.

Forget it, let Ji Xian run away. Anyway, if my cousin’s order comes, it will cause trouble again. It’s not like we won’t see each other again in the future.

Forget it, I'll just run away. Anyway, Luoxue will have to catch me again once my father's order comes. The ending will be the same. I'll contact her again when I have the chance.

Ji Xian and Su Luoxue actually have a tacit understanding and their ideas are surprisingly consistent.

After sighing in their hearts, the two of them left in different directions.

Ji Xian headed northeast, towards Qingzhou's Tianji Pavilion. Ever since he'd witnessed the vast star array in the Emperor's Immortal Palace Tomb and glimpsed the boundless sea of ​​stars, he'd been eager to visit the Tianji Pavilion and truly understand the so-called art of the stars.

Su Luoxue headed north, and from her location she could reach Qingzhou, but her destination was actually Xuzhou. She was heading to Xuzhou's Yinshi Town, where the Silver Dragon Guard was headquartered and where she was born.

Now that Ji Xian had run away again, she was no longer in a hurry to return to Chang'an. She planned to visit the place where she was born. Perhaps she could run into her sister or her master, or even her father...

Volume 3: Tianji Pavilion

3.1 The Emperor's Aunt Returns Home

Chang'an is covered with dark clouds and strong winds today. It is obvious that there will be a heavy rain soon. Therefore, there are not many pedestrians on the streets of the originally bustling and prosperous Chang'an City. Many people plan to take shelter from the rain in advance.

Inside the imperial palace, in the Golden Throne Hall, the atmosphere was even more depressing than the dark clouds in the sky.

Civil and military officials went to the palace for the morning court as usual, kneeling before the empty dragon throne every day. This was done for the benefit of the people below and the people of Chang'an, so that everyone in the world would know that His Majesty was still there, still diligently governing the country.

But there was a small problem today. Di Qingtian also arrived at the Golden Palace and brought them a message.

"Prime Minister Di, what did you say?!!!"

There was no thunder in the sky, but the ministers were shocked as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and each of them suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Di Qingtian could only repeat himself with a wry smile, "I'm saying... a few days ago, I discussed this with the Grand Tutor, the Imperial Preceptor, and several of the Protectorate Gods, and we've agreed that Your Majesty could temporarily go out and relax."

Di Qingtian's words took the ministers a long time to understand and digest. Some of those with poor psychological endurance even almost fainted.

Oh my God, what happened to the Great Zhou!

Not only did His Majesty flee, but now the Grand Tutor, the Imperial Master, and the Prime Minister have also gone mad.

Many ministers felt immense despair, feeling that the newly revived dynasty was about to fall. While many were less pessimistic, they nonetheless took a long-term view.

Their hard days will not end for a while. Even if His Majesty returns to the court now, who can guarantee that he will not escape again in the future?

Thinking of this, the ministers almost cried.

Some of the more responsive ones immediately asked Di Qingtian, "What about Lord Su? What did Lord Su say?"

Di Qingtian still smiled bitterly: "Lord Su went to see His Majesty, the current situation is unclear."

"What about the Emperor? Does he know about your majesty's situation? And what about Lord Silver Dragon Marshal and the military advisor?"

"The message has been delivered. By now... they should know about it."

Only after Di Qingtian said this did the ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately these people have not gone crazy enough to conceal the news. As long as the emperor knows about this, His Majesty can be caught back soon, and it won’t be a big problem.

These ministers had basically experienced the Restoration War and had been loyal to the Great Zhou since that period, and had been loyal to Emperor Xingzong to govern the world together. The ministers knew Emperor Xingzong very well. He was the kind of wise ruler who had a heart for justice and a heart for the world.

Although Emperor Xingzong did not like the throne very much, and all the ministers could sense it, he did not give up the throne to Prince Ji Xian until he was fourteen years old, and then he retired with the empress.

For the sake of the people of the world, Emperor Xingzong launched a war of revival.

For the sake of the newly revived Great Zhou, Emperor Xingzong endured fourteen years on the throne he disliked.

Therefore, he would never allow the newly revived and prosperous Great Zhou to be without a leader, and allow the current emperor Ji Xian to quit his job and wander around the world.

Once he learned about this, he would definitely return to the court and reorganize his forces to capture Ji Xian.

There are also General Silver Dragon and military advisor Pang Yuanchu. These two are also founding heroes. One is Su Shoufu's father and the other is her master. Given their status and position, they will surely not leave it alone.

Your Majesty, how long have you been jumping around? The really powerful ones are about to come and catch you.

As the ministers thought about this, most of them breathed a sigh of relief, and a few even smiled, but their smiles were quite disgusting and twisted.

Di Qingtian looked at the smiles of those few people and knew that they thought Ji Xian was going to be unlucky and were gloating over her misfortune. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty, how wonderful is your popularity?"

Ji Xian and Pang Yuanchu are not particularly similar in their personalities and ways of doing things, but their interpersonal relationships are surprisingly similar, and both are very subtle.

Yes, subtle.

There are quite a lot of people who look down on them and dislike them, and most of them eagerly hope that they will suffer misfortune. But even these two people have people who are loyal and like-minded around them.

Pang Yuanchu was surrounded by several of his fellow disciples, including General Yinlong, and even the poet and swordsman Taibai.

Ji Xian has Su Luoxue by his side, and among the elders who have always admired and liked him are the goddess Yelu Yinxue and the fierce bird commander Ling Qianfan.

.......

At the same time, in Xuzhou Yinshi Town.

Silverstone Town was also covered with dark clouds at this time, with strong winds blowing. Thunder was heard from the sky from time to time, and a heavy rain was about to fall.

But the residents in the small town are more lively than those in Chang'an City. There are still many pedestrians and people on the streets. They are all very warm and enthusiastic. Many people even greet Su Luoxue with a smile when they see her.

Su Luoxue was not too cold either. She would respond when local people greeted her.

The residents of Silverstone Town are mostly middle-aged and elderly, with children. This was the base of the Silver Dragon Guard during the reign of the rebels in Daxuan. Back then, the town's residents were all disguised members of the Silver Dragon Guard. Later, when the Restoration War broke out and Daxuan was overthrown and the Great Zhou was restored, this area became the headquarters of the Silver Dragon Guard, and the residents of Silverstone Town became the residence of the Silver Dragon Guard's families.

Su Luoxue was born in Yinshi Town and lived here for five years before going to Chang'an. She entered the palace and grew up with Ji Xian. After he ascended the throne, she became his chief minister.

Therefore, the people of Silverstone Town all knew Su Luoxue, and they took good care of the marshal's little daughter. Many people took care of Su Luoxue when they were young.

Su Luoxue walked in the familiar and friendly Silverstone Town, and finally stopped at a place called Silver Dragon Restaurant.

People who don’t know the situation would never imagine that the headquarters of the Silver Dragon Guard is actually a restaurant.

When Su Luoxue walked into the restaurant, the people inside were also surprised. They didn't expect to see Su Luoxue.

"Hey, my lady, long time no see, why are you here today?"

The people in this inn were all Silver Dragon Guards, and they were all veterans who had worked with her father and cousin to revive the Great Zhou. Therefore, they addressed Su Luoxue neither as "Sir" nor as "Prime Minister", but affectionately called her "Young Master".

Su Luoxue nodded, then asked, "It's rare for me to have some free time, so I came back to see if anyone is in the backyard."

The restaurant owner knew that Su Luoxue was asking about the Silver Dragon Commander, the Military Advisor, or perhaps her sister Su Luohua, so he replied, "Ah, this is really unfortunate. The Commander and the Military Advisor are both in Jizhou. I'm not sure what Miss Luohua said. She came back once last month, but left again after a short while."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go in and stay for a while before leaving."

"Yes, please, my lord."

Su Luoxue was not surprised not to see her father, sister and master, after all, they were all very busy, but she was still a little disappointed.

However, Su Luoxue's expression did not change at all. She still looked calm as usual. She walked into the backyard of the restaurant, crossed the stone bridge and entered the garden.

In the garden, there is a towering tree that emits a green spiritual light. The endless spiritual power is released continuously and without restraint. When the strong wind blows from the sky, even spiritual light spots as bright as fireflies will float out.

This was a spiritual tree, and unlike the withered one in the Sword Tomb's underground palace, this one was full of vitality, containing almost infinite life force.

This is the only spiritual tree still surviving in the world today.

Su Luoxue smiled, looked at the towering green tree and said, "Long time no see."

Su Luoxue heard from her mother that she was born under this tree.

When my elder sister was born, there were flowers falling so she was named Luohua, and when she was born, it was snowing so she was named Luoxue.

At this time, the Xutian Sword on Su Luoxue's waist began to tremble slightly and emitted fluctuations of spiritual power, as if it was sensing something from the spiritual tree.

Su Luoxue knew what was going on, so she took down the Xutian Sword, walked to the spirit tree, squatted down, gently placed the Xutian Sword on the tree and said, "Okay, I understand. You should spend some time with your family."

At this moment, a voice came from behind Su Luoxue.

"Ow~!"

The sound cut through the sky, it was a loud eagle cry.

3.2 The Emperor's Great Aunt Appears

Su Luoxue remembered the eagle's cry and immediately turned around to look when she heard it.

I saw a gray eagle spread its wings and flew in the sky, and it landed in front of Su Luoxue. When Su Luoxue raised her hand, the eagle couldn't wait to land on her arm, shouting excitedly, looking very happy.

Su Luoxue touched the eagle's head, and the eagle rubbed its head against Su Luoxue affectionately.
