Xiao Zhang turned out to go to a place at the foot of the mountain. It was a residence similar to the residence of the bandits. But, it was actually the headquarters of the Xiao family.
As he was about to pass through the gate, Xiao Zhang was stopped in his tracks by the two men who were in charge of guarding the gate. Xiao Zhang asked. "Why are you blocking my way?"
The guards looked at each other. They were being nice to Xiao Zhang for thinking she was a woman. If it's a man, then they're taking him for interrogation. "I'm sorry if we're disturbing, but what business did Miss come here for?" Xiao Zhang's brows furrowed as he heard the guard calling her Miss.
"Who are you calling, miss? Don't you see I'm a man?!" Xiao Zhang exclaimed furiously.
This time it was the brow of the guards twitching. Obviously the person in front of him looks like a woman, but why is this person saying that he is a man? The guards concluded, It seems like this person has unique habits.
Someone who happened to pass by, heard the commotion, then rushed towards the gate.
The guards recognized who the new person had come from. They said in unison. "Sir." The person they called Master was the current leader of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhang's father, Xiao Feng.
His father was stunned to see Xiao Zhang's appearance. He immediately recognized his son even though his appearance changed. But instead of asking like a father who for a few days did not meet his son he said. "Why are you dressed as a woman?" He thought his son was living a bad life while he was away so had to work like a woman.
Xiao Zhang's face looked extremely annoyed. "I don't want to say it." He then walked just past the gate. The two guards were about to prevent it, but Xiao Zhang's father hinted that to let it go.
Xiao Feng caught up with his son who had already gone far away.
Not long after, Xiao Zhang arrived at a most massive building, like the mother of the small buildings around him. The occupants of the building were men on average, while the number of women could be counted on the fingers.
Xiao Zhang removed all the accessories attached to his body and threw them like trash.
Xiao Feng who was finally able to catch up to Xiao Zhang, looked at his son in front of the door. She asked. "Where are Xiao Ling and Xiao Shi? Aren't they looking for you?
Xiao Zhang answered his father's question coldly. "They're dead."
"How can you?"
Xiao Zhang then told him what had happened in brief. After hearing it, Xiao Feng snorted. "Huh, just because we're Northmen so they could just kill?"
Xiao Zhang did not reply. After she managed to take off her entire shirt and put on the clothes that were hung on the wall, she sat down on a chair in the middle of the room. "What about our plan? Did the Emperor make any moves?"
At a restaurant in the capital.
Xie Hongyi said plainly. "So, is the Northern Kingdom in crisis?"
The waiter frowned. Seems to be thinking. "I don't think there is."
Xie Hongyi kept a few more taels on the table. "really?"
The waiter carefully took the money again. "Yes, if you want to know, now the Kingdom is trying to take care of the rebellion that occurred."
Xie Hongyi directly asked. "Who is rebelling? And what reason did they do it?"
The waiter acknowledged Xie Hongyi who knew nothing. "Miss, I don't think you're here, so you don't know that the Palace was not the current one."
Attractively. Xie Hongyi grew interested in knowing what was happening here.
The waiter spoke well. "There used to be four great clans namely Yin, Si, Nangong and Xiao. The Yin Clan was a royal clan now, the Si was a political family, Nangong was a business family and Xiao used to be the strongest family. But their position must be deposed by the Yin family with the help of other extended families. They banded together to both defeat the Xiao family."
"Oh? Then where is the Xiao family now?" From this Xie Hongyi finally knew the identity of Xiao Zhang.
The waiter spoke as if he was storytelling. "After being defeated by the Yin family, the family leader at that time pardoned the Xiao family and gave them a chance to still be able to become a great clan, he said, but the Xiao family did not want forgiveness from the group of people who had already demoted their position. With strength remaining, the surviving members of the Xiao family fled. Their whereabouts were unknown, until a few years ago there was chaos in the capital. Upon investigation, it turned out that the person who caused it was the Xiao family and the reason they did so was to reclaim the throne of the palace. It was at that moment that the Xiao family carried out the first act of rebellion."
A family that had just been destroyed was not that easy to gain strength. Xie Hongyi wanted to ask who was helping the Xiao family, but it seemed like this servant did not know about it.
"What was the reason the Yin family seized the Kingdom?"
The waiter shook his head. He said as if sorry. "If that's not the servant knows."
A man looking like a young scholar and unpretentious, entered the restaurant and made a moment everyone's gaze fixed on him.
It happened because he was dressed like a wealthy Young Master, and the aura he released showed that he was a noble.
Xie Hongyi pointed at the man with his finger. "You know who the Young Master is?"
The servant turned his head in the direction that Xie Hongyi pointed. Upon seeing it, he spoke in an excited tone. "Ah, who is the Northman who does not know him? Di was the winner of the Imperial examination last year, as well as the next candidate for Emperor, the son of the residence of Prince Yu."
"Why is it called that?"
The servant did not reply to Xie Hongyi, instead he turned his face away. "I think I talk too much. I'm sorry, miss, I have to go back to serving other customers."
Xie Hongyi understood the implicit meaning of the servant's words. He then took the money again.
The servant's hand took the money back at the table. "Miss, the reason why this Young Master of Yu's residence is a taboo topic. I'm afraid if you speak too loudly, others can hear." The servant docked towards Xie Hongyi. "The current emperor has no son. If in a long time she cannot give birth to the Prince, then her throne will be handed over to her nephew."
Xie Hongyi said in shock. "So he was the Emperor's nephew? What's name?"
"His name is Young Master Yin Si."
Looking at Yin Si, Xie Hongyi was like looking at a fat pig that was easily squeezed. He then spoke to the waiter beside him. "You can go."
The waiter bowed respectfully. "Well, if anything is necessary, Miss just call me."
Xie Hongyi nodded and the maid left. Xie Hongyi twirled the peach tree patterned ceramic cup in his grasp, he then poured the tea into the glass, but did not drink it. Xie Hongyi then walked slowly towards the Yin Si table.
He accidentally stumbled and spilled tea onto the table and clothes of the man.
Yin Si immediately got up and tried to get rid of the tea water spilled onto his shirt.
Xie Hongyi pretended to panic. "I'm sorry for my carelessness. Is Master okay?"
Yin Si looked like she was fifteen years old and when Xie Hongyi was watching her closely, and she had a very handsome face. His eyebrows curved like a sword, his eyes narrowed beautifully, his nose was high, his lips were blood red and his skin looked white and soft. Maybe the god was in a good mood while creating it, so he gave the grace an appearance that made people envious.
