After being exiled, I became a star boss

Chapter 39 Cause and Effect ([-])

"Xiao Xiao, why are those two stupid tigers always lying at the door? Besides being watchdogs, don't they have anything else to do?"

*
The rain in early summer had already stopped, and the sound of dripping water occasionally sounded under the eaves, and the evening wind was fresh and clean.

In the study room illuminated by high candles and open flames, there are memorials on the table and books piled on the shelves.

King Qin was sitting in front of the book case, holding "Jin Yangqiu" compiled by Sun Sheng, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was reading the history of Jin. When he read the Eight Kings Rebellion, he raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

With a rustling sound, a parrot with snow-white feathers flew in from the window and landed on the desk, shouting repeatedly: "The emperor is here, the emperor is here..."

King Qin was taken aback in astonishment, and when he looked again, there was no one outside the window, he could not help but wryly smiled and cursed: "Guy who doesn't learn well, since I let you follow Yun'er, you have learned to lie to me too!"

After that, he stood up and walked to the window, staring at the dense bamboo color outside the window, and sighed softly: "You said you need time to think about it, and I will give you time, but why did you leave without saying goodbye? Why did you send a fake to lie to me? That firework girl is so important to you, more important than me?!"

"Which girl is making my son so worried?"

With a "creak", the door opened, and Li Yuan in casual clothes pushed the door open.

The white parrot flew up rustlingly, landed on the shoulder of King Qin again, and said repeatedly: "The emperor is here, I didn't lie to you."

"What a clever bird!" Li Yuan came over, picked up a piece of sesame cake from the table and handed it to the bird, asking, "What's your name?"

"Rain Dash, my name is Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow Dash lowered his head and pecked at the piece of cake, he seemed to like its taste, and then he ate it with relish.

Qin Wang smiled and said, "This bird is proficient in human language, just like its owner, it is very greedy and will eat anything. If the emperor likes it, he can bring it into the palace and talk with him sooner or later."

Li Yuan declined with a smile, saying that he was too old to be too noisy, walked to the desk, picked up the "Jinyang Autumn" on the desk, which was pressed with sapphire lilong paperweight, flipped through it, and finally stopped at King Qin to read it. asked, "Why is Shimin interested in the history of Jin recently?"

"My son thinks that reading history can be wise, and knowing the past can learn from the present."

"Oh, what inspired my son?"

King Qin thought about the news that came from the palace recently. Since he ascended the throne, his father favored the second concubine Zhang and Liu, and rarely came here. Today, he came here, but he didn't let anyone report it. Could it be that there is something inside?
First throw stones to ask the way, "Father, the Shandong clan is gradually declining. It is not as prosperous as the previous dynasty, but it is self-righteous and superior to others. The clans have married each other and have formed a huge force. I, Li Tangchu, have a shallow foundation, so I have to Guard!"

"Oh, what advice does my son have?"

"My son thinks that the imperial examination should be re-opened, and the hereditary title should be discarded, and the examination should be based on talent."

Li Yuan nodded approvingly, but sighed insignificantly, and then asked: "My son reads Jin history, what do you think of Sima Zhong, the eldest son of Emperor Wu?"

——Sima Zhong is stupid and has no talent, but he was made the prince because of his status as the eldest son... He thinks that his talent and achievements are better than Jiancheng, eh, just why do you ask?

The King of Qin replied cautiously: "Emperor Wu usurped Wei, and when he founded the country, he devoted himself to punishing abuses and seeking innovations. However, he knew that Sima Zhong could not bear the heavy responsibility of the society, but according to his wife's words, he made Sima Zhong the crown prince and Najia Nanfeng the crown princess, causing chaos in the world."

"Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty!" Li Yuan, who was looking out the window, suddenly sighed: "Recently, Jiancheng is obsessed with female sex, and ignores the concubines in the palace. The princesses are crying to me."

King Qin's face was calm and unwavering, but his heart was filled with joy, and he said regretfully: "The crown princess comes from the Zheng family of Xingyang, she is virtuous and virtuous, my eldest brother really... really shouldn't."

Li Yuan turned his head to stare at him, and said slowly: "The demon girl who made him lose his mind all day is called Yun Qi. I heard that the woman you married into the mansion a while ago is also called Yun Qi?"

——So it was for Yunqi? !
King Qin's heart trembled, "Father, I don't know the situation of the Eastern Palace. I think it's just the same name. At this moment, eldest brother's Yunqi is in the Eastern Palace, but mine is in southern Yunnan."

"Why did she go to southern Yunnan?"

"Before she married into the palace, Yunqi ran a flower shop, and the orchids sold there were all rare treasures in the world. Those fairy grasses were all found by her from the high mountains in southern Yunnan."

"When you marry a bride, the father should also see her. How about this, when she comes back, you take her into the palace and let me take a good look at this Yunqi."

Since ascending to the throne, his father has been taking care of all kinds of affairs, and he rarely intervened in the family affairs of the houses in various mansions. This matter is so complicated and indescribable. King Qin was puzzled, but for a while, he hoped that Yun Qi would not come back for a while, and thanked him happily on the surface.

At this time, a child's clear and melodious laughter came from outside the door, "Aye—"

When the old man saw his grandchildren rushing into the room, his gloomy complexion disappeared. Surrounded by his grandchildren, he left the study with a smile on his face.

King Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't follow him out.

Since Yunqi entered Yunnan, according to the agreement, every other day there will be news from flying pigeons.

For some reason, there has been no news for three days.

In the past few days, he has been worrying and feeling flustered for no reason. He walked slowly to the window and looked at the clear night sky after the rain.

Shuxing has risen, and a crescent-like crescent moon is hanging on the bamboo shoots in the distance.

The wind carries the unique fragrance of bamboo leaves after the rain. Tonight is the same as last night, and the sound of cicadas resounds through the silent night.

"Yun'er, are you staring at the same starry sky? What happened and where are you?"

The king of Qin, who was intoxicated in his longing, forgot the time. After an unknown period of time, there was a sound of pigeons flapping their wings on the ridge of the roof.

The news finally came.

A carrier pigeon stopped in front of the window, and he ecstatically took off the bamboo tube covering the pigeon's feet, took out the note, and opened it to read, but the smile on his face was gone, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with tears. Light.

The letter said: "The red silk appeared in Mingyue Village. It is said that they encountered a tiger on the way, and a mountain fire broke out at night. Finally, they jumped off the cliff and fell into a deep pool. The red silk was rescued by the mountain people who went up the mountain to fight the fire. Habitat is missing."

Missing?

He only felt that the blood flowed backwards all over his body, and he was dizzy for a while, and his body could hardly stand still.

With a stabbing pain in his heart, the letter slipped from his fingertips and landed lightly on the ground.

That night at the hot spring villa was the first time they were so intimate, but was it the last time?
He stood stiffly, his mountain-like body trembling because of the twisting heartache.

Falling off a cliff... She must have been washed away by the current, there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere...

Why didn't the people sent to protect him follow closely?

No, I haven't had time to punish you, I don't allow you to disappear, let alone die!

The King of Qin was in a state of confusion, and he shouted angrily, "Old Ba,"

A man in black walked out from the shadow of the study, "Your Highness—"

"Send competent people to southern Yunnan to look for Yunqi, if you want to see people if you live, if you want to see corpses if you die."

"Yes."

"Kill Hongxiao, I want her to die for Yunqi."

*
Of course Yun Qi was still alive.

It was already the afternoon of the second day when she woke up, she was startled as soon as she opened her eyes, but unfortunately she had no face and could not blush.

Her hissing sound was high-pitched and thin, because she was angry and anxious: "People have words,"

The giant snake, which was squeezing her in like a rice dumpling with its huge body, turned its head and "sizzled" happily: "You finally woke up, and I'm feeling bored by myself. Let's talk together, let's talk, people have What words?"

After learning that giant snakes don't eat snakes, Yun Qi is not so afraid of him.

"Men and women don't give and receive."

"Give and accept... what do you mean by not kissing?"

"It means that strange men and women can't touch each other and keep a distance."

Xiao Xiao disapproved very much, "Now you are not a human, but a snake, so you don't have to abide by human rules."

Yun Qi shook his head, "As long as human rules are right, snakes should also follow them."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "You are a snake, so naturally you should abide by the rules of the snake clan."

"What are the rules of the snake clan?"

"My name is Xiao Xiao, and your name is Yun Qi. We met last night, fell in love at first sight, and then slept together. You are very cute when you sleep, but a little noisy."

Yun Qi was taken aback. Nord came to her last night and told her how to break the monk's spell, but he said he was not sure because he hadn't tried it yet.

The perverted Xiao Xiao stared at her sleeping, and she hurriedly "sizzled" and asked, "Did I disturb you? It must be a dream, my mind is still about people."

Xiao Xiao kept asking, "What dream did you have?"

Yun Qi shook his head, and wanted to explicitly refuse to tell him, but when he saw his size, he became more tactful, "I forgot, I will tell you next time."

Xiao Xiao squinted at her suspiciously, Yun Qi quickly changed the subject and asked, "Have you really lived for 500 years?"

Xiao Xiao shook his head and nodded again.

"To be exact," he held his head up in embarrassment, "I have lived for 500 years, and snakes have been transformed into scorpions for thousands of years. Long, long ago, I was just a little snake like you."

"One thousand and five hundred years." Pushing forward from now, he actually existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Yun Qi opened his mouth wide in shock, "How did you live such a long time? Where are your descendants?"

The corners of Xiao Xiao's lips were raised, only a fool would confess his love history sincerely and truthfully, he suddenly lowered his head, and pressed close to her, "For the past 500 years, I have been waiting for another snake."

"Yes, from a genetic point of view, you have to mate with the Teng snake, so as to maintain the unique and noble genes of the Teng snake." Yun Qi blinked his star-like eyes, "But the snake cultivator has grown into a Teng snake for a thousand years, what do you think? It may not be easy to find the same kind.”

Xiao Xiao suddenly spread his wings, the wings were connected in a line, about two feet wide, and when he flapped, there was a whistling sound of wind.

Yun Qi squinted his eyes due to the wind, and asked hastily, "You actually have wings. I was still thinking last night, why can snakes fly?"

Xiao Xiao took her in his mouth, flapped his wings, soared up like a dragon, and went straight into the sky. The next moment, Yunqi had already reached the sky.

The sky is clear and cloudless. Looking down from the sky, thousands of mountains and ravines in southern Yunnan unfold like a scroll, and above the sea of ​​clouds, snow-capped peaks are shining brightly.

And directly below them is a valley surrounded by mountains and isolated from the world.

There are tall trees in the valley and the sky, white waterfalls gushing down from the cliffs, and the water of the waterfalls gurgling along the valley.

A few wooden houses were built on the edge of the waterfall leaning on the cliff, and a small courtyard was built with a fence outside the house.

Pine is planted on the left side of the small courtyard, and bamboo is planted on the right side.

The monk was shirtless digging the ground in the yard, where chrysanthemums were planted.

Planting chrysanthemums at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, this demon monk is actually interested in it.

Yun Qi thought about what Nord said to her in the dream, "I have searched all the anecdotes about you people on Earth, and the monk must have used the karma spell."

"Karma curse?"

"Yes, Karma, if you can find the talisman paper, draw the talisman with cinnabar, and swallow it, you will be able to restore your original body."

"But... how can I draw without hands?"

"I tried to save you, where are you?"

"I don't know. Aren't you an alien? You should know everything!"

Yun Qi stared at those wooden houses, wanting to regain his human body, there is the only hope, "Xiao Xiao, why are those two stupid tigers lying at the door all the time, don't they have anything else to do besides being watchdogs? "
