I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Xu Qiang scratched his head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Master Qin, I was just imagining things! I'll pack up and follow Master Qin!"

As he spoke, everyone saw Xu Qiang take out several large cloth bags from a corner. They were brightly colored and it was obvious at first glance that they were made from many pieces of rags.

Xu Qiang took these tattered cloth bags and started putting things into them.

All the pots, pans, and firewood were taken apart and packed up...

Not only that, he stared at the stove for a long time, probably knowing that it couldn't be moved, and shook his head with a look of regret.

This scene made everyone's eyes twitch. Is he really planning to move all his belongings away?

Just as Xu Qiang was looking at the only bed in the room, thinking about how to take it away.

Madam Qin finally couldn't help interrupting Xu Qiang's actions and reminded him, "Xu kid, you don't need to pack the other things. The Qin family will prepare everything. You just need to take the valuables away with you."

"Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, thank you, ma'am!"

Xu Qiang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and put the packed things back to their places one by one.

Afterwards, Xu Qiang crawled under the bed, took out a clay jar from it, and held it carefully in his arms. Then he looked at his little sister on the bed, then looked down at his hands holding the jar, his face full of helplessness.

When Old Madam Qin saw this scene, she winked at the nanny beside her.

The nanny immediately stepped forward and held Xu Xiaoya in her arms, then turned to Xu Qiang and said softly, "Leave Xu Xiaoya to me, and Brother Xu can just pack up the other things."

"Thank you, mama."

Xu Qiang thanked the nanny gratefully, then turned to look at Lord Qin.

"Master Qin, I don't have anything else valuable in my house, so I can leave now."

"it is good!"

Qin Zhao had also finished the registration matters by this time and hurried over, just in time to run into a group of people who were about to go out.

Qin Zhao looked at the crowd calmly, but did not notice the boy with such extraordinary bearing. Although he was confused, he did not ask aloud on the spot. He just spoke to Lord Qin and Old Madam Qin.

"Father, mother, the collection of clothing for the children has been completed, and the collection of clothing for the elderly is still in progress."

"Well, leave the rest to Shopkeeper Wang. He will take care of it. Zhao'er can also go back home with us."

"Yes!"

Imperial Palace, Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Yuan of Jin was holding the message sent by An Si in his hand. He thought it would be good news, but he did not expect to find another person from another country in the capital city under the feet of the emperor.

Although it was not known whether this person was good or bad, Emperor Yuan of Jin had to pay attention to him.

After all, this person, like Xuanyuan Zhen, is also a member of the royal family.

The royal families of the five surrounding small countries all have secret arts, and the secret art of the Southern Barbarians is the art of poisonous insects.

Previously, Eunuch Li told Emperor Yuan of Jin everything about his trip to the Southern Barbarians more than ten years ago.

Emperor Yuan of Jin originally wanted to find a way to pass through the fog, but Eunuch Li knew nothing about this.

But the other things Eunuch Li told were enough to shock Emperor Yuan of Jin, and made him more vigilant against the Southern Barbarians.

Emperor Yuan of Jin had a gloomy face at this time, thinking about possible countermeasures in his mind.

We must find a way to know more about the Nanman, especially the Gu insect technique and the fog.

I hope this southern barbarian prince can become a breakthrough!

Eunuch Li caught a glimpse of the solemn face of Emperor Yuan of Jin, and knew without a second thought that the news brought by An Si was definitely not good news, so he could only serve cautiously.

For a moment, the hall was silent.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the hall.

The moment the black shadow appeared, he knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists clasped.

The black shadow was none other than the leader of the secret guards, An Yi.

"Your Majesty! An Si and An Wu have important matters to report!"

"Xuan!"

Emperor Yuan of Jin immediately perked up when he heard this. He was just about to summon them into the palace to discuss the matter of the Southern Barbarian Prince in detail, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come on their own initiative.

"Yes!" An Yi replied in a deep voice, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the hall again.

After a moment, the figures of An Yisiwu appeared in the hall, but there were more than three people.

Emperor Yuan of Jin looked up and saw that An Wu was holding a person in his hand. The person looked young, about twelve or thirteen years old. At the moment, he had his eyes closed and was unconscious.

After entering the hall, An Wu put the man on the ground.

Before Emperor Jin Yuan could ask, An Si stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, this person is the prince of the Southern Barbarians mentioned in my letter. He goes by the pseudonym An Nan, and I don't know his real name yet."

Emperor Jin Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Huh? Why did you bring this person directly to the palace?"

Emperor Yuan of Jin originally planned to send secret guards to monitor this person secretly. He did not want to alert the enemy too early and wanted to find out his purpose of coming to the Southern Dynasty through observation.

However, after receiving the letter, Emperor Yuan of Jin thought about it for a moment and had no time to reply to An Si.

Logically speaking, An Si would not act on his own before receiving his reply, but now seeing An Si directly arresting people, Emperor Yuan of Jin was a little puzzled.

An Si quickly recounted the gossip that his sister had just revealed.

"Your Majesty, according to my sister, this person is not a bad person at heart. He is a kind-hearted child and has no ill will towards the Southern Dynasty. He just happened to be staying in the Southern Dynasty during this period of time."

"Although he is a prince of the Southern Barbarians, he always uses a fake identity and has to keep changing his residence. Otherwise, if he is exposed, he will be caught by someone with ulterior motives and imprisoned until his death."

"And the reason he concealed his identity is that he is the only son of Nanli, the former crown prince of Nanman! The nephew of the current emperor of Nanman!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan of Jin was so shocked that he stood up from his chair, walked quickly to Annan, squatted down, and looked at him carefully.

He has delicate features and a childish face. Just looking at his face, you would think he is a child who knows nothing about the world.

Emperor Yuan of Jin pinched Annan's arms and thighs. Well, he had strong muscles and was a good fighter.

Emperor Yuan of Jin stood up again, returned to the dragon table, pondered for a while, and gave instructions.

"Let's take him to the Dali Temple first and let Lin Gengzhi interrogate him to see if he can pry something out of him."

"Since my sister said he has no ill will towards the Southern Dynasty, then tell Lin Gengzhi not to torture him for now."

"Remember, interrogation in secret!"

"I want to know the situation this afternoon!"

"Yes! We obey your command!" An 1, 4 and 5 replied in unison.

Then An Wu picked up An Nan again, and the three of them disappeared in an instant.

After the others left, Emperor Jin Yuan stared at Eunuch Li and asked in a serious tone, "Li Fuquan, when you told me about the Nanman last time, you didn't mention this kid at all!"

"If it was an ordinary prince, you wouldn't know him, but you know his father, so why didn't you mention him before?"
