Chapter 4

Song Yufu blushed and felt a little embarrassed. However, she could not refuse Xiao Qi's invitation. She turned around and ran behind the screen with her head down.

Xu Buling's eyes lit up. He was not in a hurry to see the surprise prepared by his wife. He sat in front of the desk and looked at Xiao Qi from head to toe.

"Qiqi, nothing big happened these days, right?"

Xiao Qi was still a little dissatisfied with what happened in Chang 'an. She said softly, "No matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than you killing the Emperor. Couldn't you have assassinated or poisoned him? Killing him in front of all the court officials can scare the officials, but it can't be hidden. You can suppress the public opinion when you are alive, but after you die, the official and unofficial history will all come out. As long as there are people in this world, they will remember it. You can't do anything about it when you are scolded in the underworld. It will not be peaceful at that time. "

Xu Buling shook his head, "What's done is done. They are all human beings. Why can't I kill them …"

Xiao Qi shook her head, "It's not as simple as killing a person. My Xiao family has been the Prime Minister for a thousand years and almost ruled over four dynasties. What you need to think about now is whether your descendants can be like Prime Minister Xiao after a thousand years and still be able to control the court, not just think about the rise and fall of a few generations. For example, my Xiao family. If one of my ancestors dares to kill the Emperor, do you think the court in the future will dare to get close to the Xiao family? After you kill the Emperor, Prime Minister Xiao will definitely be involved. After you finish your business, he will probably be a loyal official and protect the young Emperor to escape to Nanyang or something … "

Xu Buling was not as knowledgeable as Xiao Qi. He nodded and listened carefully.

Xiao Qi talked for a while about the Xiao family's way of doing things. She thought of something and said, "Oh yes, after Su Of Gojoseon entered Chang 'an, the four eastern princes did not recognize the new emperor and forged a posthumous edict to elect King Wei as the new emperor. Now Dai Yue has become two emperors. King Wei used to control Nanyue alone. In order to stabilize the throne, he withdrew most of his troops from the Southern Border and only left the government soldiers and militia to guard the border. According to the intelligence, Nanyue seems to have smelled an opportunity. There are movements in various places. Because the terrain is remote, the specific situation is unknown. "

"Nanyue …"

Xu Buring nodded slightly and pondered for a moment. Nanyue was located to the south of Liuzhou. It was a place with barren mountains and unruly rivers. There were many different races. The name Ling Nan was probably referring to this area. In this world, the geographical environment was worse than Mobei. Just from the name, one could tell that it was not strong.

In the past, Great General Xu Lie brought his troops and horses and almost without fighting much, he managed to push his way to the Liuzhou region. But there were too many lofty mountains and precipitous ridges. Once he hid in the mountains, it was very difficult to destroy them all. In the end, he focused on attacking the Central Plains and left South Yue to the side. The Chen family of Nanyue had always been kings but never emperors. They had always paid tribute to Dai Yue. After Dai Yue stabilized the Central Plains, they had no intention of starting a war against Nanyue.

Among the three countries, Nanyue had the weakest presence. Its national power was probably not as strong as a vassal king like Dai Yue. Even if they sent troops north, they would not be able to defeat any of the vassal kings. They could only bully the destitute King of Yue. For now, there was no danger.

Thinking of this, Xu Buling chuckled. "They probably want to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to swallow up some territory. They will wait until we defeat Yue Yang and gain a foothold in Chu. Oh right, I heard that the King of Nanyue, Chen Jin, is seriously ill. The one in power is a duke. He can't even govern. How can he still think about the plan to conquer Yue? "

Xiao Qi shook her head. "The ancestors of the Chen family were conferred the title of marquis in Nanyue. Until now, they have not made any great achievements. When Da Qi was still around, they shamelessly swallowed up a lot of territory. After Da Qi was defeated, they swallowed up a lot of territory to develop to their current scale. They probably have the ambition to conquer the Central Plains. When the King of Nanyue, Chen Jin, first inherited the throne, he had some tricks up his sleeve. But after that, there was no news. I don't know what happened. "

Xu Buling nodded slowly. He did not say much about this unimportant matter.

The two chatted for a while. Suddenly, there was the sound of soft footsteps behind the screen. Then, there was a hesitant call.

"Hu- hubby."

Xu Buring turned around, raised his eyes, and was momentarily stunned.

The light in the room was dim. Beside the white screen, Song Yufu was wearing a white pleated skirt. The skirt was very short, reaching only three inches above her knees.

On her feet was a pair of rabbit shoes. They were handmade by Xiao Xiang 'er. They were so lifelike that they looked just like real rabbits. Most importantly, her long hair draped over her back. She wore a black hair clip, and there were two fluffy white rabbit ears on the clip. One of them even drooped down …

！！

Xu Buling immediately sat up straighter. He was afraid that Fu Bao would flip out, so he did not dare to laugh. He only nodded with admiration in his eyes.

Xiao Qi could not hold it in, but she had been a professional since she was young. She would never lose her composure and laugh. She only blinked.

"Not bad. You look good."

"Is that so?"

Song Yufu's face was as red as an apple. She turned around in her white skirt before slowly walking to Xu Buling. She gestured at her shoes.

"This is so hot. And …"

She took out the fluffy and round rabbit tail from behind her. She was a little puzzled.

"Where is this thing hanging? I looked for a long time, but there's no place on the skirt to hang it … "

"…"

Xiao Qi coughed softly. She lowered her head with a strange expression. She picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Xu Buling's expression was gentle. He stood up, carried Song Yufu, and walked to the bed.

"It's okay. Sister Qiqi will teach you."

Song Yufu was not stupid. Although she had never seen it with her own eyes when they slept together, she could vaguely guess it. She had a conservative upbringing since she was young. She must be afraid and nervous. Her small white shoes swayed in the air.

She said in embarrassment, "Let Sister Qiqi try it for me. Sister Qiqi is so beautiful. It will definitely look better on her."

Xiao Qi's expression froze. She was too embarrassed to let Xu Buling play with her tail in front of a little girl. Xiang 'er deserved it.

Xiao Qi quickly stood up. "Do what you need to do. I'll go down and make some arrangements." As she spoke, she wanted to leave. Unfortunately, she was wearing a pair of high heels and did not know how to walk. She stood for a long time and almost sprained her ankle. She sat back down.

Xu Buling had been holding back for almost a month since he entered Chang 'an. He could only hug Qing Ye, so he was already thirsty. After putting the bunny-like Fu Bao on the blanket, he came back and carried Xiao Qi.

"You should act like a big sister. How can you run when it's time to demonstrate? Hurry up and take out your own."

Xiao Qi blushed a little. Her eyes showed resistance, but she hooked her arm around Xu Buling's neck.

"I lost mine a long time ago … Ah, how did you know it was under the bed …"

"Do you even need to guess where you hid it? Fu Bao, hold your Sister Qiqi down. "

"Yes, husband! Let Sister Qiqi wear the rabbit ears too … "

"Ah … You two …"
