This was not the first time Jinyou heard the broken mountains and rivers in Xiao Yunzhen's voice, but this was the first time he heard his complete account of the culprit.

This is a completely unheard-of name, and this place cannot even be seen in the current map.

But he still believed that Xiao Yunzhen would not lie about such a big thing.

Xiao Yunzhen's final statement, just four words, was enough to frighten him.

'Bloodline is completely cut off'...

The entire Central Plains is not limited to Xuanwu, but also includes the neighboring country Yanzhi to the west and the neighboring country Nanlin to the south. In the north, many tribes gather together and make a living by grazing and hunting. They may only appear in the north in winter to plunder the resources of the north.

But it is not accurate to describe it as plunder. They would steal some food and leave behind some cattle and sheep.

What puzzles everyone is that although a trading market can be opened in the north, these northern barbarians still adopt their usual practices.

Later, Emperor Xuan didn't care anymore. Let them rob. When the time was almost up, he placed the food and other things in one place and waited for the people in the north to rob them. He then left the cattle and sheep behind and pretended nothing had happened.

But this doesn't mean the northerners weren't strong. They were skilled in martial arts, cavalry, and archery, and their territory was the largest, making them considered formidable enemies by the emperors of the Three Kingdoms period. Even Jinyou, when learning strategy, focused on how to restrain the northern cavalry.

However, after listening to what Xiao Yunzhen said today, we have to reconsider the current layout of power. How to guard against a country that cannot even be seen on the map is a million-dollar problem.

"What happened next? Do you know?"

[...] Xiao Yunzhen was unusually silent, and asked him, "Do you think I could know? I'm dead, I died earlier than you!"

Isn’t it funny that a person who is still alive asks a person who died first if he knows what the final outcome will be?

"I forgot. I was just wondering if you could take precautions if you knew something."

"I thought so, but that was fourteen years later, and I only knew the name, 'Dan Kingdom'. But then again, I always thought there was an ocean to the east of Xuanwu, so is it possible they were from overseas?"

"People from overseas? Real foreigners?"

The barbarians in the northern tribes are also considered foreigners, but some of the words they speak can be guessed.

"Perhaps. If we could find them now, I'd destroy their nation. They're so brutal they don't even spare the elderly, the weak, women, or children. After slaughtering all the people, most of the remaining nobles committed suicide..."

Jinyou could guess the reason. Attacking the heart! The nobles cared not only about the accumulation of family power, but also about the support of the masses. When the people died, the rulers had already failed...

Thinking of this, Jinyou became even more frightened, his hair stood on end and he broke out in a cold sweat.

It is better that such barbarians do not exist.

He replied, "If I ever discover the existence of this country, I promise I will strike first. But Ji Zhonghuan will be here soon, and there's something I need you to confirm."

[What's up? Ha~ I'm a little...sleepy...]

Before Xiao Yunzhen could finish his sentence, he fell asleep in Jinyou's arms.

As expected, the baby's physical strength is still not enough to withstand too much thinking, and too much thinking will only consume more of the mind.

...

Liuyunzhai is right in front of us, but Ji Zhonghuan has not arrived yet.

He Jinyou sent Xiao Yunzhen to his bed to sleep, while he went to have dinner.

He has been so busy these days that even his meal times are not fixed. Fortunately, Wen Yan is a qualified servant who can do everything attentively, including preparing meals for He Jinyou anytime and anywhere.

"Prince, you are finally back!"

Wen Yan looked at him with a look that seemed to show him that he wanted to see the patriarch who had just returned after a long absence and could make decisions for him, which made Jin You feel uneasy.

"what happened?"

Wen Yan frowned, opened and closed his mouth, struggling over whether to speak or not.

While Jinyou was eating, he also had to take care of Wenyan, his confidant and friend, "What's wrong? Just say it if you have something to say."

Wen Yan said slowly, "Prince, the flowers you raised were plucked..."

Jinyou paused, not knowing whether to put down the chopsticks or retract them, so he pretended to be calm, took a bite of the food, and said calmly: "It's okay, it's just a few flowers."

"Prince...it's the night scene of Kunshan."

Jinyou couldn't catch his breath and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

The jade chopsticks broke into pieces.

"Who did it?" In fact, there was no need to ask, Jinyou already had a candidate in mind.

In the entire mansion, apart from Xiao Que'er, no one else is bold enough to do such a thing.

But this time, Wen Yan gave a completely different answer. He said, "It was a man I didn't know. He flew in and went straight to the prince's garden. Seeing the large peonies in full bloom, he pulled them up one by one by the roots..."

Every time Wen Yan said one more word, Jin You's expression became uglier.

"A Kunshan Night Flower is worth a fortune, yet he didn't leave me a single one and even plucked them out by the roots? By the roots! Pulled them out!"

Jinyou stood up suddenly, his whole body shaking with anger.

If there is anything he cares about, it is probably only the peonies in the garden that he planted with his own hands.

The peony seeds were obtained from the palace, and he planted them with his own hands. After more than a year of careful care, he finally produced several large and bright flowers this year, but they were all uprooted at once!

What can a man endure? Destroying his peony is more painful than killing him!

"Wenyan, go and take the men to catch the flower thief! Get the flowers back for this prince!"

Wen Yan shrank his head and dared not speak. That person's martial arts were very powerful, and he was afraid he would not be able to be caught. Even if he was caught, the one who could freely enter and leave the palace would definitely be someone else.

It's a pity that the prince is so angry at the moment that he probably won't listen.

He sighed. The prince had spoken, so what could he do? Of course he had to listen!

All he could say was, "Yes, Prince, I'll go right away!" He had to catch him even if he couldn't!

Unfortunately, they couldn't catch him at all. When people arrived, Jinyou's garden had been completely destroyed.

There was a large piece missing that was visible to the naked eye, and the soil in the large open space in the middle was turned up and connected to form a pit that was five meters in size.

"What a sin, what a sin! What if the prince sees this?" Wen Yan was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He didn't catch the person, and the flower was gone...

"Wow, what a big, round pit!"

A joking voice sounded above Wen Yan's head. Wen Yan looked up suddenly and saw a man in black lying on the tree. Who else could it be but the flower thief?

"You thief! Give the prince's peony back!" Anyway, it was pulled out by the roots. As long as the roots are still there, it will survive if you plant it again.

"No! What we found is mine, I won't give it to you."

The man in black shook the big peony in his hand, and with a shake, a petal fell off.

Wen Yan looked at it and his eyes turned red.

He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Flower thief! Flower thief! Catch the flower thief! The prince will reward you handsomely!"
