The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 153: The Season of Ear Seeds (2)
"Why should I regret it? I just did what I wanted to do." Xue Yaoxi said calmly, looking at the tombstone.Leaving and severing relations there has always been something he wanted to do, and now that he has done it, his heart is also relaxed.There has been a shackle pressing on his heart before, even if the poison is cured, he still can't let the invisible shackle leave.

"Master, I can't participate in the selection of the next head of the hidden guard." Xue Yaoxi's voice resounded firmly.I originally planned to go to the master later, but I didn't expect to meet here.

"Why?" The middle-aged man's tone was a little anxious. Taking over the position of the head of the hidden guard had always been something he wanted Xue Yaoxi to accomplish, but now the other party has backed down.

"Like Master, I met a woman I like, but I don't want to let go like Master. I want to stand by her side, and I will marry her." Xue Yaoxi said in his heart that Master did not prevent the tragedy from happening.There is still resentment in choosing to let go. If the master hadn't let go, his mother might not have suffered so much, and his mother would not have passed away early.At this time, he hadn't thought about it at all. Everyone has his own destiny. If his mother hadn't married into the Duke of Zhen's mansion back then, he wouldn't have been born.What's more, even if his master stopped him at that time, the price would definitely be huge, and it was unknown whether the two of them could be together at that time.

"Are you still blaming me? Have you not avenged your mother for so many years?" The middle-aged man heard the resentment in Xue Yaoxi's tone, and asked tentatively.

"I don't complain, I know this matter has nothing to do with the master, I was just angry when I thought about it just now." Xue Yaoxi replied calmly after calming down.

"Did you meet during the time you detoxified? What kind of woman is it?" The man continued to ask after a moment of silence.After thinking about it, it was only during this period of time that Xue Yaoxi could fall in love with others. During his previous days in Beijing, he knew that Xue Yaoxi had no one he liked, so he came up with the idea of ​​training Xue Yaoxi to be the leader of the secret guards.

"She is a very good woman, and Yaoxi likes it very much." When Xue Yaoxi mentioned Shen Xuan, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.Thinking of the days of living together with Shen Xuan in the future, Xue Yaoxi was full of joy.As for the extra things, Xue Yaoxi didn't intend to describe them with the master.

"For her to give up this easy-to-reach right, are you sure you really don't regret it in the future?" the man continued to ask.

"Master, I don't regret it." Xue Yaoxi replied firmly, he will not regret what he has decided, no matter what the outcome is, he should bear it.

"The person behind the scenes that caused your mother's death is still in the palace, aren't you ready to take revenge?" The man asked seeing the smile on Xue Yaoxi's face.

"Of course I will avenge my revenge, but not now, I can avenge my mother without relying on the power of the leader of the secret guard." Xue Yaoxi has already made a decision on this matter in his heart.

"Forget it, since you have found what you want, I will fulfill you as a teacher this time. But it is not so easy to quit now. I have three things in my hands that need to be done by others. I have arranged them for others. Arrange them now." Here you go. You can do the three things with your own means, and then the teacher will let you go, and if you fail one of them, you will come back to take over the position of the leader of the hidden guard." The middle-aged man looked at Xue Yaoxi On the mother's face, she still let go, but she also left three things in order to save Xue Yaoxi, thinking that as long as one of these three things fails, Xue Yaoxi will still come back to replace him.

"I know Master, I will definitely finish it."

The three things are the suppression of bandits in Fengwu Mountain, the private salt trade case in the south of the Yangtze River, and the secret investigation into whether King Sheng has the intention of rebelling.The three things must be completed within three months, otherwise it is also a failure.

Fengwu Mountain is located in an important location, and there are countless businesses coming and going. With the perennial strong winds and heavy fog, more and more bandits are hiding here, and it becomes easy to rob passing businesses.Every year, the imperial court would send an army to suppress the bandits, but now Xue Yaoxi was responsible for the task of an army. One can imagine how difficult it was.

It is even more difficult to investigate the Jiangnan private salt trading case.Since ancient times, buying and selling private salt has been a capital offense, and the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous.The combination of government and business, the relationship is intricate, and if you are not careful, you will fall into difficulties.It is simply impossible to find out the matter within a month.

It is even more difficult to secretly investigate Shengwang.King Sheng is the fifth younger brother of the current emperor, the prince left after the last seizure of the throne, and now the king has his own fiefdom.Wanting to go to King Sheng's fief to find out about him is almost like running to seek death.

Xue Yaoxi saw these three things and knew his master's intentions, but he was never a person who gave up voluntarily, otherwise he would have died under the torture of these years of illness.Thinking that as long as he completes these three things, he can repay the kindness of the master and reduce the guilt towards the master in his heart, he is more confident in his heart.What's more, as long as these three things are completed, he can stay by Shen Xuan's side in the future. Thinking of this, Xue Yaoxi is full of motivation.

The memory is very short, about a cup of tea has passed, Xue Yaoxi walked out of the memory and returned to reality.

"I'll give you a gift before I leave." Xue Yaoxi took out a small box out of nowhere and put it on the table after he finished speaking.

"What is this?" Shen Xuan looked at the box in Xue Yaoxi's hand and asked.This is the first time I have received a gift from someone other than my family, and I am a little bit looking forward to it.

"Open it and have a look." Xue Yaoxi signaled Shen Xuan to open the box.

Shen Xuan held her breath and opened the box. There were only a few pieces of paper and a pair of jade bracelets inside.Shen Xuan picked up the paper and opened it, it turned out to be the title deed of the shop.Property such as house deeds, looking at the jade bracelet with good quality, Shen Xuan hurriedly put the things back into the box and pushed them to Xue Yaoxi's side.

"These things are too expensive, I can't accept them." Shen Xuan firmly refused.

"This is my mother's dowry." Xue Yaoxi reopened the box as he spoke, glanced at the contents and continued, "I took my mother's dowry back before I left Zhen Guogong's mansion, but after all these There are only so many years of use left. I wanted them to make up for the used ones, but after thinking about it, I’d better forget it, and I’m very happy to get these things back.”

"This is your mother's dowry, and I can't take it. You can keep it in your hand as a thought." Shen Xuan resolutely objected, and she knew Xue Yaoxi's feelings for his mother in her heart.

"Hehe. Hehe." Xue Yaoxi laughed a few times after listening to Shen Xuan's words.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Xuan asked suspiciously.What's so funny about this? If she didn't know that the person in front of her was mentally normal, Shen Xuan would have thought she was insane.

"I laugh that you have the same thoughts as me, and taking these things back is just to keep them by your side for thinking." Xue Yaoxi was very happy that Shen Xuan considered him from his perspective.
