Chapter 222: Leave him temporarily

"In general, that's it. Can you blame your father for not punishing him and venting your anger?"

After listening to Gong Congde's narration of his previous discussion with Yu Meng, Xiao Louhuai shook his head: "No, Uncle Yu's kindness to us is indeed greater than these several calculations. However, in the future, there will indeed be a conflict between him and us.

There is no way to go back to the beginning.”

"You really think so?"

Gong Congde actually felt a little guilty, guilty for involving Xiao Louhuai because of his affairs. Now that he saw Xiao Louhuai's attitude, he felt that the guilt had disappeared a lot.

Then I felt a sense of relief that my family had a child who had just grown up.

Xiao Louhuai nodded: "Well, father, you asked me to come here now, but to discuss how to get Ivy back?"

Gong Congde: "That's the case. This thing is an important means for Lou Hanhai to control Yu Meng, and he will definitely not hand it over easily. I was thinking that as a member of the royal family, you might have some good ideas to provide."

"As for a way, as long as you are willing to think about it, there will definitely be one. But the difficulty now is that if we move the ivy, the emperor will of course guess some clues, which may alert the enemy."

"So it's best for us to find another way, one that won't alarm the emperor."

After Xiao Louhuai finished speaking, he looked at the black Buddhist string on his right wrist and said with bright eyes: "There may be something we want at Jiutan Temple."

After being reminded like this, Gong Congde was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, frowned and asked: "You mean, the relic that is only rumored to have the effect of resurrecting the dead?"

"Yes, we can look for this thing first after we return to Beijing. If it is available, it would be best. If not, we will see what other options we can think of later."

Jiutan Temple is the most famous temple in Xiding. In addition to the praying spirit, it is also the relic that it is said to possess.

Originally, the emperor wanted to ask for this thing from Jiutan Temple, but was rejected by the old abbot who was about to pass away at that time. He said that Jiutan Temple did not have such an item at present, and the emperor was not the person who was destined to have it. If he wanted to force it, the emperor would have to ask for it.

It would only be harmful rather than beneficial.

After this, the emperor gave up the idea, and since it was not later revealed where the relic was in Jiutan Temple, the matter was gradually forgotten by everyone.

"Okay, there is indeed no other better way now. But before that, Yu Meng's sweetheart must be protected by someone to avoid any accidents later."

Soon, the time came three days later, when the generals in the Saibei military camp organized themselves and planned to return to the court.

It is also the day when new luck value tasks are released.

Zuo Weiyue looked at the words written on the luck value task panel and was a little confused.

So I asked the system repeatedly in my mind, was the task really not assigned by mistake?

[There will be no mistakes in the issuance of luck value tasks, so the host can just do it with confidence. 】

After getting a negative answer from the system, Zuo Weiyue looked at the little boy who was still busy with her, putting soft cushions on the carriage seat and spreading a small blanket for her. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Tell him about it.

"Are you all ready? Then let's set off! The master will return to the court and receive the rewards we deserve!!"

After the shouts of the angry soldiers outside subsided, the carriages returning from the army left the Saibei military camp one after another and headed back to the capital.

Today is a cloudy day with falling snow, and the temperature is still very low even inside the carriage.

Xiao Louhuai added a few more pieces of charcoal to the charcoal stove. After feeling that the temperature in the carriage had risen a lot, he paid attention to the fennec fox that had been squatting on his lap.

"Xiaoyue, please get on this soft cushion. It is much more comfortable than my legs. There is also this small blanket that you can sleep on. It is made of rabbit fur. It is soft and warm."

Zuo Weiyue was thinking about things absentmindedly and didn't even notice that Xiao Louhuai was talking to her. It wasn't until he stroked her fox head that she realized and looked at him blankly.

The little fox in front of her looked different from usual. Even though she was not using her body, Xiao Louhuai could still see that she had a hesitant expression on her face.

After frowning slightly, he held her in his arms. While rubbing the small soft pads on her fox paws, he asked her curiously: "What's wrong? But is there anything you want to tell me?"

After saying this, Xiao Louhuai suddenly remembered that today is also the day when the cooldown of the luck value task ends.

Combined with Zuo Weiyue's current performance, he quickly guessed something and asked her tentatively: "But this luck value task is not easy to do?"

"It's not that it's not difficult to do." Zuo Weiyue lowered her head, her tone a little sad, "It's just this task. It's related to you even if it's related to you. It's not related to you even if it's irrelevant."

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Louhuai raised Zuo Weiyue's fox head and forced her to look at him.

"Hey, it's the latest destiny task. I need to leave you and go to the City of Eternal Cold alone to do it."

With Xiao Louhuai's current status and military merit, of course he can't just go wherever he wants like before.

In addition, after he returned to the capital, there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the Imperial Palace and the East Palace, so he could not spare much time to go to the City of Eternal Cold with her.

After all, the new luck value tasks released by the system were indeed best for her to do by herself. After all, there was no mention that Xiao Louhuai must go with her.

Xiao Louhuai already knew Zuo Weiyue relatively well, and knew that unless she was in special circumstances, she usually didn't like to talk in such convoluted ways.

After watching her talk for a long time, she didn't say what the mission was. He roughly guessed something. After pursing his lips, he pinched her big fox ears and asked: "It has something to do with Si Yi, right?"

She knew that he didn't like to see her and Si Yi get too close. If that was the reason, then it would be clear.

"Well, it's related to him. This mission requires me to go to the City of Eternal Cold to help Si Yi find out the real reason for his aunt's death, and bring him into your power."

Si Yi has already sided with Lou Huai in the future, but that will be seven years later.

Since the current system will give this task, it means that letting Xiao Siyi join Xiao Louhuai in advance should be of great benefit to Xiao Louhuai.

Hearing that it was indeed related to Si Yi, Xiao Louhuai unconsciously pinched Zuo Weiyue's fox ear harder, but it was only for a moment, and she regained her strength before she felt pain.

Then he said: "Then you go ahead and do it, I don't mind."

Although he said this, Zuo Weiyue could see the concern in his eyes very clearly.

Xiao Louhuai: It does matter, why doesn’t it matter. (sullenly)
