Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight
Chapter 24: A Heart-to-Heart Talk Between Two Poor Students
Xu An had no objection.
Their road to revenge is not easy, so naturally the bigger the power, the better.
"These days, I've been looking through the files of prisoners in various prisons across Liangzhou, and some who were wrongfully imprisoned have been released.
There are also some who have committed crimes, but due to the situation, some of them have some ability, so I have also pardoned them and taken them under my command."
Qiao Xi nodded, "As long as you have a clear idea in your mind."
Xu An is a man of upright character. If the other party is guilty of heinous crimes, he will not let him off easily no matter how capable he is.
Qiao Xi knows this, so she doesn't interfere too much in some matters.
However, Xu An's words reminded her that they needed to increase manpower, which would require more money.
They also have to have their own way of making money.
There seemed to be a mountain of things waiting for her. Qiao Xi suddenly chuckled and propped up her head with her hands. "When I was a child, I was lazy and always refused to learn many things on the grounds of poor health.
My mother was worried that I would be a failure and a drag on the Qiao family, but my father and my brothers and sisters always protected me.
My biggest dream at that time was to eat well, sleep well, and encourage my older brothers and sisters to study hard.
This way, it doesn’t matter if I’m incompetent, because I can pull my brothers and sisters out to serve as a face and a support.”
When the incident happened at home, she thought about making progress, but later the prince protected her too well, and her laziness came out again.
Instead, he was coaxed by the dog emperor into working for him for many years.
“The current situation in Dayou is no different from a chaotic world. In a chaotic world, anyone can raise the flag and become king, but it is not easy to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Although the various vassal states appear calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents, and the emperor will soon disrupt this peace.
By then, war will break out everywhere and the Central Plains will be in turmoil. You and I will just be one of the thousands of troops.
We have taken this step and succeeded, becoming kings and generals, but there is still much to do and learn. If we fail, we will be nothing but withered bones under our horses. Xu An, are you afraid?"
"I, Xu An, am also a mortal, so of course I'm afraid of death.
But life must have some meaning. In addition to revenge, I also want to bring honor to the Xu family, make my parents happy in the afterlife, and give my sister someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
However, I know my own strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to fighting, I, Xu An, am no longer afraid. I don’t dare to think too much about other things, and I don’t have the ability to do so.
So, I also want to ask you, what should we do next? Do you think the King of Xinjiang North is a good person? "
"In terms of popular support, no one in the world can surpass him. Of all the various vassal states, he is the only one supported by the people as king."
Although many people outside the northern part of the border did not know the details, they were misled by the court and spread rumors about him in a bad light.
But the fact is, "He has governed northern Xinjiang very well and is indeed the best candidate in my mind.
However, in troubled times, there are many heroes. Let's strengthen ourselves first, and then we can take things one step at a time. How about that?"
Xu An stared at her and asked directly, "Don't you have any ideas yourself? There have been female emperors since ancient times."
Qiao Xi glanced at him and said, "I remember you called me a good-for-nothing when we were little, but now you think so highly of me."
Xu An was embarrassed.
He didn't expect that Qiao Xi actually remembered it. If he remembered correctly, she was only four or five years old that year.
He went to visit the Qiao family with his father and mistakenly thought that Qiao Xi had roasted and eaten the sparrows he raised. He was so angry that he turned against her and called her a glutton who only cared about eating.
At that time, she really ate herself like a white bun, glutinous and soft.
Later he found out it was a misunderstanding, and because of his youthful nature, he was too embarrassed to apologize.
This was the only time the two met in their childhood, so after the incident at the Qiao family, Xu An often regretted not apologizing to her.
"Don't take it seriously, it was just a childhood outburst. I actually regretted it at the time."
Qiao Xi reached out to him, "Well, I forgive you."
Xu An thought she wanted to shake hands with him and make peace, so he extended his hand, but he felt a little embarrassed, because there are differences between men and women.
But soon all his messy thoughts disappeared, and his face was filled with shock. "You...why is your internal energy so deep?"
This level of depth is something that even an old man who has practiced for decades may not be able to achieve.
This is not what Qiao Xi should have at her age.
"It's activated by drugs, and there's no need to run anything. It works on its own day and night."
Qiao Xi's tone was light, but it made Xu An's face change drastically.
Abnormality is a sign of evil. If there really is such a good medicine in the world, why would we all work so hard to practice it?
How come there are so many people who accidentally go astray while practicing martial arts, and even lose their lives?
"The Emperor did it? What harm will it do to your health?"
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes.
If he took the medicine sent by Cao Ying, he would explode and die like in his previous life.
Although she didn't eat it in this life, the result would not be much better. After all, according to the trajectory of her previous life, nothing would happen in the next few years.
"If you rush things, you'll always have to pay a price."
Qiao Xi smiled, "After I have taken revenge in the future, I will get rid of this power.
Therefore, after taking revenge, the most important thing for me is to travel and recuperate, rather than the so-called empress you mentioned.
Next time, let's just speak frankly and there's no need for us to test each other, okay?"
Exposed by Qiao Xi, Xu An said awkwardly, "I'm not looking down on you, nor am I discriminating against you because you're a woman. It's just that governing the world is no joke.
On the ways of being a monarch, all aspects of imperial power and tactics...you...I..."
He scratched his head and said anxiously, "Oh, I don't know how to say it. You are very good. Let me bow down to you. I am willing.
But I don’t know if you can be an emperor and rule the world. The people are suffering so much. I hope there is a wise ruler who can truly lead them to a better life.”
Rather than hastily supporting for the sake of friendship.
"I understand what you mean and agree with you."
Xu An has his own principles, and Qiao Xi admires him for that. She doesn't have that intention, and she knows she doesn't have that ability.
"Aren't you angry?" Xu An asked.
Qiao Xi shook her head. "I'm not angry. I just suddenly remembered that when I was little, my fourth brother and I discussed traveling the martial arts world. Before we even left the house, we were already discussing who would be the future leader of the martial arts world."
Xu An realized that Qiao Xi was joking and found it funny himself, "Hehe, this is just a matter of conversation. Now that our fates are tied together, it's better to say some things clearly so that we can be less suspicious.
From now on, just be honest with each other and work towards your goal together.
However, according to what we just said, before we can establish a wise leader, we still have to manage this city ourselves. So, can I learn from the King of North Xinjiang?"
Qiao Xi nodded decisively, "Yes."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
Four words popped up in my mind at the same time: two poor students.
After laughing, Xu An asked again, "Is it true that your martial arts will be fine as long as you unlearn them? Is your search for the scabby barefoot also related to this?"
He didn't think it was that simple.
Qiao Xi nodded and answered the latter question, "It is indeed related. Please keep this matter confidential for me."
This really couldn't be spread outside. Xu An knew the seriousness of the matter, but he was skeptical about Qiao Xi's answer.
Then Qiao Xi said, "It's good to have this skill. If I can't make the emperor admit his crimes to the world, I can kill him secretly."
Xu An felt quite satisfied to hear that the martial arts given to her by the emperor could be used to end his life.
But in comparison, he still hoped that the emperor's crimes could be made public, so that he would be infamous forever and the truth could be restored to those who died unjustly.
Because of today's heart-to-heart talk, they had become much more familiar with each other in the past two days. Xu An then asked the question in his heart, "What is going on between you and the King of Jiangbei? Is the marriage real?"
Just as Qiao Xi was about to answer, she saw Su Heting's tall figure appear at the door, walking against the light, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
