Chapter 539 News
Xiao Nan had figured it out a long time ago, and no longer entangled in all kinds of past life.But at this moment, holding the freshly baked imperial decree in her hand, she was still a little speechless, and there were ten thousand beasts roaring past her heart.

"Damn, God, don't you bring such a playful person?"

The villain in Xiao Nan's heart pointed her middle finger, and secretly thought, if she hadn't figured it out early, she must be scared to death by the title of 'Mrs. Qi' right now.

After comparing the middle fingers, she still wants to ask God, there are so many titles for Mrs. Yipin Guo, which one is fine, why Mao chooses 'Mrs. Qi Guo', are you scaring me? Are you scaring me or are you scaring me? !
"My lady, my lady~"

Cui Youbo saw that Xiao Nan's expression was not very good, he thought she also guessed the intention of the saint's move, he was still entangled in his going to Longyou, he hurriedly said with a smile: "This is a happy event, congratulations lady!"

He looked very happy for his wife and quite proud of her, and he didn't feel depressed, lonely or even annoyed at all because his rank was not as high as that of her.

Xiao Nan came back to his senses, met Cui Youbo's joyful expression, and couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing that Xiao Nan's expression finally fluctuated, Cui Youbo hurriedly blinked at her, indicating that the servant who delivered the decree is still there, don't lose your composure, and cause the sage's dissatisfaction—it's a good thing to make you a 'Mrs. Don't say thank you, but act like someone owes you [-] guan, even a fool can know that you have a grudge against your superiors.

If the little servant who delivered the decree reported Xiao Nan's reaction to the saint truthfully, the original guilt of the saint towards the Cui family and Cui Youbo and his wife would disappear.

Since certain things have been decided and there is no possibility of changing them, then they should face it well.Getting angry with the leader is definitely not a wise move.

Besides, Cui Youbo didn't think there was any harm in going to Longyou.

Yes, the conditions over there are indeed not as good as in the capital, and there may be wars, but it is also very easy to make political achievements.

Another point is that Cui Youbo is Ding You in the position of Zhongshu Sheren, even if he is the prince's must-have person, it will not be easy to recover to the original level after being filial piety.

However, the governor of Shanzhou rose from the fourth rank, which was a full three ranks higher than his original fifth rank.Don't look at only the third level, if it is normal, it is very difficult to advance to the first level, let alone the third level.

In addition, Cui Youbo's age is also here. He is less than thirty this year, and he has been an official in Beijing, and has never had experience in governing a party.

If one followed the normal promotion path in the officialdom, in a situation like his, he would often choose a better 'upper county' and let him start as a county magistrate.

Don't underestimate the official position of county magistrate. In Datang, counties are divided into several ranks. The county magistrates in Beijing, Ji, Jinyang and other places are all from the rank of fifth rank. If Cui Youbo can go to these places, he can only be regarded as What about level calls?

Even if you don't want to be a county magistrate, you can go to a state or county on the scale of "Xiazhou" or "Zhongzhou" to make a long history or don't drive, starting from the second in command.

Directly being the leader of a state, or the leader of a county where a government is located, is definitely a big promotion.

To be honest, if King Wei hadn't made such a fuss, Cui Youbo really wouldn't have had such an opportunity.

Others may become officials in order to seek money, but Cui Youbo is different. In the case of the Cui family, he is not short of money at all, so there is really little difference between going to a rich place or a bitter cold place.

On the contrary, what Cui Youbo wanted was official reputation, political achievements and political experience, and the Northwest states were the places that could best fulfill him.

Moreover, this "promotion" is the product of the contest between the sage and the King of Wei. If Cui Youbo went "reasonable", the sage would feel guilty... Tsk tsk, this is a good thing that takes both face and heart into account.

No, Cui Youbo hasn't officially received the appointment yet, the saint's 'compensation' has arrived.

Therefore, Cui Youbo absolutely didn't want to mess up this matter.

Seeing his hint, Xiao Nan was stunned again, and immediately understood that he had misunderstood.

Following his gaze, Xiao Nan saw the little servant who hadn't left yet, and instantly understood Cui Youbo's worry.

Xiao Nan's reaction was quick, and he pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, "Of course it's a happy event, but, it's just that I'm a little apprehensive..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, but her expression was very good. The little servant looked at it, and only felt that the Princess of Xiangcheng, oh no, it was Mrs. Qi, who was puzzled, and didn't know why she 'upgraded'.

Of course it is compensation!

However, this is not something that a young eunuch like him can say, so he can only pretend that he didn't hear it, and following Cui Youbo's words, he cupped his hands and said, "What Cui Langjun said is very true, my servant congratulates Mrs. Qi!"

Xiao Nan smiled and nodded, then motioned for Yuzan to hand over the red envelope.

The waiter got a big purse, put it away skillfully, without further delay, happily returned to the palace.

And so it settled down—

On July [-], it is advisable to travel.

This morning, King Wei bid farewell to the empress dowager and the emperor, his wife and children, took his officials and prince's guards with him, and left the capital in a mighty way, heading for Shanzhou.

King Wei was sent away, and calm was restored in Beijing.

The Cui family, however, was a little restless. This restlessness was not caused by the masters, but some "parties" with ulterior motives were quietly moving.

One evening, at the very end of the curfew, all the gates of more than 100 squares in the capital were closed, and only Marquis Wu was left on patrol.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from a certain deep house compound, and after a few ups and downs, the person disappeared into the empty alley.

Immediately afterwards, just as that figure disappeared, three or four agile figures jumped out of the courtyard, chasing after him closely.

"Oh? He went to the warehouse of the Military Superintendent?"

Xiao Nan frowned slightly after hearing Yuhan's report. She knew that Bi Lishu might be a spy, but she couldn't guess his intention for a while.

If Bi Lishu only inspected the military weapons supervisor at night, Xiao Nan would not be surprised. He is a spy from Turkic, and it is normal to inquire about the military situation of Datang.

But the problem is that Bi Lishu not only went to the Military Weapons Supervision, he also went to Jiang Zuojian, Kubu Division and other places a few days ago. In just one month, he almost went to the fifth and sixth departments. Even the Guozijian didn't let go.

What makes Xiao Nan even more puzzled is that Bi Lishu once used Cui Youbo's banner to infiltrate Jiwei College in vain.Fortunately, the access control of the college was strict, and Bi Lishu didn't want to attract the attention of the 'master', so he didn't insist on failing once.

After hearing the report from the academy guards, Xiao Nan was really puzzled: What exactly does this guy want to do? !

Well, he is a spy, it is normal to go to an official institution of the imperial court, but what is the purpose of going to a private academy?

Xiao Nan was puzzled, and Bi Lishu was also depressed. He had searched all possible places, but he still couldn't find what Khan said.

"Did I make a mistake? Datang doesn't have any mysterious weapons at all?"

Bi Lishu nestled in the single dormitory on the back street of Cui's house, with a leaf stalk in his mouth, squinting his eyes and thinking hard: "I have gone to all the places I should go, even the one who invented the ox cart I also visited the residence of famous scholar Zhou, but I still didn't find anything novel..."

"Well, those people can't be talking nonsense, can there be anything that can tear people into pieces? Isn't it a beast?"

While scratching his head, Bi Lishu tried to imagine the scene described by Khan in his letter: seven or eight mutilated corpses, blood and flesh spilled all over the floor, and there were burnt marks...

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly there was a sound of bamboo joints bursting in the street, which startled Bi Lishu. He spat out the leaves residue in his mouth, jumped out of the house, and followed the sound to find it.

"Huh? What are you guys doing?"

Bi Lishu pulled a seven or eight-year-old boy, pointed to a few charred bamboos on the ground, and asked in surprise.

The boy also lived in the back street of the Cui family. Although he had never seen Bi Lishu before, but he was wearing clothes embroidered with the Cui family logo. He replied: "Oh, these are the firecrackers newly made by Mr. Zhou."

Firecrackers?Bi Lishu has lived in Datang for several years, so of course he knows what it is.But what he was curious about was that the 'firecrackers' played by these children were obviously different from the traditional firecrackers he had seen.

Bi Lishu pointed to the shattered bamboo joints, and asked the doubts in his heart, "These firecrackers are different from the old ones? Could it be that they were not made with fire?"

The boy smiled triumphantly, and said, "Of course it's different. Didn't I just say that these are Mr. Zhou's new firecrackers, which are filled with gunpowder, so the noise is louder!"

gunpowder?By the way, gunpowder!

Bi Lishu slapped his head, how could he forget this thing!

That's right, gunpowder, those people Khan said must have been killed by gunpowder.When he was traveling in the Central Plains, he once saw a certain alchemy Taoist who was blown to death by the alchemy furnace, but his whole body was scorched black, and his arms were still bloody.

That afternoon, a kite flew out from the back street of Cui's house and flew straight out of the city.

Thousands of miles away in a small town on the western frontier, in a simple private house, Li Rong touched the Snow Maiden who had finally recovered from her injury, rolled up the note and stuffed it into the cylinder, and then carefully tied it to its paw .

"Remember, you must send the letter back to the capital and give it to your princess."

Li Rong has been with Xue Niangzi for nearly a year, and he knows that it is extremely spiritual, and it can understand basically everything he says.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Rong finished speaking, Lady Xue nodded her head.

Li Rong smiled, jumped to the door with one foot, and waved his arm vigorously, "Okay, go, be careful on the road, don't get hurt!"

Fluttering her wings, Xue Niangzi flew into the air, circled twice over the simple courtyard, and then flew east.

"Oh, my lord, why are you up? Your injury is just right, so you can't move around!"

An elderly man came in with a bowl, saw Li Rong standing by the door in a 'Golden Rooster Independent', and said with concern.

Li Rong didn't seem to hear it, he was still staring at the sky in a daze.

In fact, he really didn't hear it, because his ears haven't recovered yet...
