The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

After packing the letter and handing it to the servant, Chu Bai Niao turned around and said, "Come down."

Ji Yan put down his legs swiftly, stood up and smoothed his loose hair in front of the bronze mirror.

This ensures that your appearance remains intact.

Chu Bai Niao rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Those of your men who are willing to leave can leave, and those who are not willing to leave can join me as secret guards, how about that?"

Ji Yan nodded and said, "I'll go tell them."

The new inn they were staying in was owned by Xiyu Tower. Ji Yan notified everyone in advance, and when they arrived in the evening, more than 20 key members of the building were already in place.

Even the four winds of east, south, west and north had taken their seats in advance.

The door was pushed open by two women, and Ji Yan, dressed in a white robe, walked in with his hands behind his back.

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Master!"

Ji Yan walked straight to the main seat, lifted his robe and sat down, "Everyone, please sit down."

After everyone sat down, he slowly said, "I believe you have all more or less guessed why I came here with you today."

"At present, there are two paths in front of us. The first path is to disband Xiyu Tower. Those who want to retire can do so, and those who want to continue working can join the Royal Secret Guard."

He stated his purpose directly.

"The second option is for me to step down and you to elect a new host. If you want to re-elect a host, I suggest you change your name and go back to your old business."

"We can't keep killing corrupt officials. The three kingdoms of Chu, Zhou and Song won't let us go."

Ji Yan leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and sat in the main seat with dignity.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

It is naturally impossible to say that there are no objections or resentments.

You said that everyone was doing a good job as killers, but as soon as you came to power, you stopped doing that and led everyone to kill corrupt officials.

The current situation has put everyone in a dilemma.

But do you think anyone dares to talk back? No one dares to do so. No one dares to reveal even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

Everyone in the damn Xiyu Tower knows that Ji is really poisonous. He climbed from an ordinary killer to the top and killed so many people that he didn’t even want to tell you.

After he took the throne, he eliminated dissidents. All the ignorant and unruly people in the building were killed to the point of being dead.

So now that he has come to this conclusion, he has to either disband Xiyu Tower and join the imperial court, or go back to his old business in a shady way.

Some people cursed in their hearts but still looked very kind.

What can we do? We can’t defeat them.

Food is the original sin.

Seeing that no one spoke, Dong Feng said, "I am willing to follow the host and join the Royal Secret Guard."

Seeing the others looking over, she shrugged, "You know me."

"How can I do this if I don't have money? If I retire, how can I support my husbands? If I go back to my old job and get killed, won't I be supporting other people's husbands?"

Bei Feng hesitated and said, "If the prince is willing to teach me martial arts, I am willing to join the Royal Guards."

She didn't want to work for the court, but the prince's martial arts skills were too high, and she was considered a top-notch expert in the martial arts world. However, in front of the prince, he didn't even notice when she was approached.

Nanfeng and Xifeng looked at each other, and the former said, "Forget it. My martial arts skills are weak to begin with, and I don't want to mess around anymore."

Nanfeng is a doctor who treats poisons. Xifeng said coldly, "I have a blood feud with the court. Although I have avenged my hatred, I will never work for the court. I will go back now."

After Sifeng spoke up, the others also began to express their thoughts.

It's still good that Ji Yan is in charge. At least if he wants to retire, he can really do so. It's not like before, when they said they would let you go but actually meant they would let you die.

After a vote, Xiyu Tower was disbanded on the spot, and the property was divided and dispersed.

When Ji Yan finished his work, the moon was already high in the sky. He quietly walked into the room, took off his clothes and carefully got on the couch.

Chu Bainiao noticed the movement and said coldly, "Get lost."

Seeing that she was awake, Ji Yan simply climbed up and said coquettishly, "No, no, Your Majesty, don't you feel very cold sleeping alone? Xiao Yan will warm the bed for you~"

He put his hands through the gap and held Chu Bainiao in his arms, "Your Highness, please have a good rest. I won't move."

Chu Bainiao tilted his head.

Chu Bainiao turned around and sighed as she saw Ji Yan's ink-black eyes staring at her quietly.

Forget it, let him be.

There's no need to argue over small matters.

Two days later, the secret guards who had infiltrated Fu County brought accurate information, confirming that there were 20,000 to 30,000 private soldiers in Fu County, and the attitudes of the surrounding counties were unclear.

Chu Bainiao immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the imperial city by carrier pigeon.

When the empress's letter came back again, she patted her senior brother's hip and said casually, "Go fold the clothes, we are going back to Beijing."

Ji Yan obediently went to pack their clothes. While folding Chu Bai Niao's robe neatly, he asked, "Who should we give it to when we get back?"

Chu Bai Niao placed the letter on the candle flame and lit it. "General Baoqi will lead his troops to guard here. In order to prevent the enemy from taking desperate measures, I must go back to protect His Majesty."

Da Chu is located in the southwest, backed by continuous mountains to the west and the coast to the south. The wonderful location of Fu County lies here.

At the end of the mountains, it is usually not heavily guarded and is not valued by the higher-ups.

You can advance to rebel or retreat to the sea.

Just as Chu Bainiao was rushing day and night to return to the capital, the empress in the court took advantage of the last dispute with the Zhou Dynasty over territory and ordered General Diaoqi to lead 100,000 troops to inspect the border.

The ministers in the court naturally refused to agree, thinking that although the Zhou Dynasty was hateful and pointed to my country's territory and claimed it was its territory, there was no need to go to war for it.

After all, the Zhou Dynasty failed to seize it, so going to war would be so costly and tiring.

The empress sat on a high place, looking at the civil and military officials below with her majestic eyes. She sneered and said, "I just asked the general to inspect our territory."

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

The empress asked sincerely, but her voice was cold, "Is there any difficulty that I don't know about, my dear ministers?"

The ministers shut up.

What can they say? What dare they say?

Under the intensive work, food and fodder were sent out first.

When Chu Bainiao rushed back to the capital, he encountered a large army leading the way, with swords and cavalry stretching for thousands of miles.

She asked her senior brother to go back home first, and she went to the palace to meet the emperor overnight with the latest evidence she had collected.

In the imperial study, after reading the evidence, the empress slammed her hand on the table, "These people are so bold!"

She came down wearing a royal robe embroidered with colorful phoenixes, and was so angry that she walked around the imperial study four or five times with her hands behind her back.

Chu Bai Niao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she said, "Royal sister, please don't leave. If you don't walk until you are tired, I will feel dizzy."

The original body would only call her Imperial Sister when he was tired and helpless.

Same-sex twins have been considered unlucky in the royal family since ancient times.

If the late emperor had not had few offspring, it would be hard to say whether they would have survived.
