Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Xiao Yunxi waved her sleeves and left gracefully. Zhou Jin glanced at the four people trapped in the tree.

The woman and the child were dressed neatly, and the material of the clothes was good. Apart from being a little wrinkled, they were not at all sloppy.

The mother and her two children should be Sukhbaru's wife and children. King Qing wanted to control Sukhbaru, so he would not treat them badly. However, things are unpredictable.

His imprisoned wife and children were alive and well, but Sukhbaru's head and body were separated.

The Chahar tribe is being liquidated. If these orphans and widows return to the Northern Barbarians, their fate will definitely be miserable. It is a headache to figure out how to resettle them.

Putting this question aside for the moment, I looked at the sloppy Taoist priest that Xiao Yunxi mentioned.

His clothes were tattered, he was so skinny that only bones were visible, his beard and hair were wildly overgrown, his eyes were covered, and his body was so dirty that his face could not be seen.

Even so, an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over me:

"Uncle Master?"

The Taoist priest in front of him was not wearing a Taoist robe, and his figure was very different from that of his uncle. Zhou Jin was not sure.

"Master's nephew!"

Zhou Jin was shocked and quickly unblinded the Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was very thin and no longer looked like an immortal as before, but he was definitely his uncle who had been missing for three years.

"Uncle Master, how did you get captured by Prince Qing?"

"It's a long story."

"Long story short."

The old Taoist cursed:

"It's that bastard of Prince Qing who's playing dirty tricks!"

His old face turned slightly red, and he felt embarrassed.

The dignified Longshan Tianji Zhenren, actually fell into the trap of Prince Qing and that old bald donkey Zhu Guangxiao just for a bite of roast chicken.

In the final analysis, it was because of his skill and courage that he sensed danger and took the risk alone. He capsized in the ditch. If he had not been rescued by Xiao Yunxi by accident,

I don't know how much suffering I will have to endure.

"Hurry up and let me go, get me something to eat. That bastard Prince Qing is afraid I'll run away, so he locked my legs and feet and constantly starved me. I'm going to skin him alive!"

Zhou Jin suddenly put the blindfold back on him and hurried down the mountain.

"Uncle Master, please wait a moment."

Tianji Zhenren:! !

Xiao Yunxi was still very surprised to find out that he could just save an old Taoist priest or an uncle. He released Tianji Taoist priest from the space and untied him.

Serve a bowl of vegetable porridge.

People who have been hungry for a long time cannot eat too much or too well. They need to give their stomachs time to adapt first.

In the tent,

Zhenren Tianji took the vegetable porridge and slurped it up, enjoying it so much that he casually wiped his mouth with his tattered sleeves and rubbed them on his body.

Xiao Yunxi strongly suspected that his sloppiness was natural and not caused by Prince Qing.

"My friend, are you really this boy's wife?"

"Didn't the Taoist priest say that he could calculate past lives, present lives, and the cycle of cause and effect?"

"You little girl, are you going to test me?"

Xiao Yunxi's expression said it all.

When she entered the secret room, she didn't see the old Taoist priest. If the old Taoist priest hadn't spoken to her, she wouldn't have noticed that there was someone imprisoned in the cell next door.

She wasn't sure whether her flash was seen or not, she just wanted to trick the old Taoist priest.

Wu Chunfeng suddenly asked:

"I was on a mountain just now, how did I get to the military camp?"

"..."

"It was clearly daytime just now, why is it night now?"

"..."

Xiao Yunxi got the person out without thinking too much, and was accidentally discovered by the old Taoist priest.

Zhou Jin was not at all flustered, and made up a story in a serious manner:

"Those are just tricks. Master Uncle just came out of a dimly lit cell and is overly sensitive to light, which is why he has such an illusion."

编！

You keep writing!

"When you were in the secret room, what kind of kung fu did you use to suddenly disappear?"

The old Taoist saw it!

A chill emanated from Xiao Yunxi, and the first thought that came to her mind was to kill this old Taoist priest.

The daughter-in-law wants to silence her!

Zhou Jin quickly said:

"Uncle Master, they all say that those are just tricks, Yun Xi's secret weapon for survival, but you shouldn't ask such questions."

"Then I won't ask."

Wu Chunfeng didn't want to dwell on this issue. Everyone has secrets, so it's better to ask than to find out.

"Give me your birth date and I'll tell you your fortune."

When they were in the secret room, Xiao Yunxi had no intention of saving this stinky Taoist priest. It was Wu Chunfeng who said eight words: Nirvana and rebirth, two souls in one person.

Xiao Yunxi used to be a staunch atheist, but his rebirth completely shattered his beliefs, so he rescued him.

Now I feel a little guilty when I tell her fortune.

"I heard that fortune-telling can reveal the secrets of heaven, which can easily backfire and shorten your lifespan. You'd better take care of your health."

"Who says fortune-telling will shorten your life?"

Well, I've read too many novels.

When Wu Chunfeng was fortune-telling for Xiao Yunxi, the Prince Qing's Mansion was in chaos!

After Xiao Yunxi left, martial law was imposed in the palace and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The black-robed guards with plum blossoms checked each person one by one, and no one had the ability or time to commit the crime.

After working till midnight, they found no clues, but they did catch two spies, and tortured them to make them confess everything.

They are the shadow people.

The theft case has not been solved yet, and someone named Shadow was found in the palace. Shadow was subordinate to the emperor, and that caused the incident.

The investigation reached a deadlock. In the middle of the night, Princess Qing did not rest either. There were important letters in the study, and no one knew who stole them.

The letters to the Northern Barbarians have been destroyed. Even if the letters were obtained by the princes and presented to the emperor, there would still be room for mediation.

What she had to do now was to prepare food and money for the prince to deal with the northern barbarians and completely control the northwest. Even if the emperor wanted to settle accounts,

The palace also has a way out.

"princess!"

"Something bad happened!"

"The sky is falling!"

Princess Qing stood in the empty treasury, with only the golden pillars shining brightly, as if mocking herself.

"big eater!"

"What's the point of the palace keeping idiots like you!"

"Three major warehouses were robbed, and no one noticed!"

Princess Qing had completely lost her elegance, her face horrified. The three great vaults, the accumulation of hundreds of years of successive Qing princes, had been stolen without anyone noticing!

The man in black robe lowered his head, wishing he could put it into his crotch.

The scolding was so harsh that he couldn't refute it. After all, it was his own fault.

He really couldn't understand who had the ability to empty the three warehouses and the study right under the noses of the Plum Blossom Inner Guards?

The image that flashed through his mind was still Xiao Yunxi's face.

"The thefts from the palace, the study, and the three warehouses must be investigated. The most urgent task is to find a way to gather the silver and grain, otherwise the situation in the northwest will inevitably deteriorate."

His reminder helped Princess Qing to sober up from her rage. She suppressed her inner rage and asked the housekeeper to dismantle the golden pillars of the treasury and replace them with food and fodder.

The land deeds and shops under the name of the palace were sold in some ways to raise some money to send to the northwest.

Although we have suffered a lot of injuries, we are still not at the end of our rope. This is the foundation accumulated over a hundred years and the people's hard work.

Now that most of it had been vomited out, Xiao Yunxi could be considered to have done a good thing.
