Some people's fate is predestined for three lives, some people's fate is destined, and some people's fate is - evil fate.
Qi Yunqian probably fell into the last category when he bumped into Tang Xiaoxiao.
*
In the year when Ning Yujin gave birth to Mo Yuning, a coup occurred in Eastern Qi.
Qi Yunqian's few brave and foolhardy brothers worked together and forced the old emperor, who was lingering on his sickbed, into the palace and asked him to make a will and pass it on to King Zheng.
Oh, with Prince Zheng's temperament of asking his own princess to take the decision in everything, I'm afraid that within three years after becoming emperor, Dong Qi will have to change his surname.
Qi Yunqian looked calmly at their plan that was full of flaws, calmly watched them plot against him, and calmly watched the manpower deployed secretly to catch them all in one fell swoop.
The wind is light and the clouds are calm, turning things around.
Just watching them being sent to the execution ground, he still couldn't help but clenched his fists under the sleeves with dark gold embroidery.
If they were more peaceful, he would definitely keep them rich and prosperous, live in peace and fulfill their last blood relationship.
But……
"Yuanqiu, you don't have to follow me. I'm going out for a walk alone."
Li Yuanqiu waved away the crowd and wanted to follow Qi Yunqian, but after seeing his lonely back, he retreated silently.
The prosperity of Qidu was created by him.
It was through light taxation and heavy emphasis on industry and commerce that Daqi became prosperous today.
But when he was walking alone on this busy street, he suddenly discovered that he was not part of the bustle, and that everyone's joys, sorrows, and joys had nothing to do with him.
Naturally, his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have nothing to do with others.
"Hey, Master!" A figure suddenly jumped out, stood in front of him handsomely, tilted his head and said to him, "How about you give me ten copper coins, and I treat you to rice dumplings?"
Qi Yunqian was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and swept his eyes over the woman in front of him.
Wearing an elegant and refreshing green dress, with a pair of sparkling eyes, her appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she seems to have a vitality, and her grin makes people happy.
Well, it doesn't look annoying.
This is Qi Yunqian's first impression of Tang Xiaoxiao.
Qi Yunqian took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to her: "I don't have a copper plate, is this okay?"
"Yes, yes." Tang Xiaoxiao happily took the silver, turned his head and shook it proudly at the man behind him, "I'm willing to admit defeat, and bring me the things."
The man was much taller than Tang Xiaoxiao, his skin color was a bit darker, his eyes were dark and sinister, and he looked particularly energetic.
He snorted angrily, threw a purse into Tang Xiaoxiao's hand, said "You're so cruel" and turned around to leave.
Qi Yunqian also understood what was going on between the two people, and suddenly narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "You bet on me?"
"The bet is just a side trip. Eating glutinous rice balls is the main thing." Tang Xiaoxiao didn't seem to feel Qi Yunqian's anger. He walked straight to the glutinous rice dumpling stall nearby and slapped the broken silver on the table. "Boss, here are two bowls."
sweet dumpling."
"Hey, here it comes!" The boss quickly scooped up two bowls of glutinous rice balls from the pot and brought them to Tang Xiaoxiao. He collected the money and then found her pile of copper coins.
Tang Xiaoxiao put away the coins and the money bag with a calm expression. His actions naturally made Qi Yunqian, who had been watching, narrow his eyes again.
"You don't want to eat?" Tang Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at him with wide eyes.
Qi Yunqian spent money and was tricked, so there was no reason not to eat. He immediately walked over, lifted his robe with both hands, and sat down.
The glutinous rice balls were quite delicious. Qi Yunqian actually ate the whole bowl of glutinous rice balls to the end with the steaming steam.
"Okay, after you finish eating the glutinous rice balls, go home quickly. It will be a disaster if no one invites you to dinner soon."
After Tang Xiaoxiao finished eating, he said this with a smile, and then left slowly humming a tune.
Qi Yunqian was a little funny.
It was obviously him who spent the money, so why did she invite him?
After a second thought, I suddenly felt that something was not right. I quickly reached out and touched my waist: Sure enough, his wallet was lost!
Damn it, that girl is a thief!
After being tricked twice in a row, Qi Yunqian, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly exploded. He reached out and patted him, and a secret guard immediately appeared in front of him.
"Go find that person just now and report her whereabouts to me immediately." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't disturb her."
The efficiency of the secret guard was astonishing. As soon as he had a cup of tea at Tianxiang Tower, someone came to report that he had been found.
He was taken to a dilapidated street. Since the new city was built, this place has been abandoned. Most of it is occupied by beggars and has been used as a temporary nest.
There is the dark side behind the glamorous Qidu, where a group of people live with their lives in vain.
Tang Xiaoxiao was there, among the group of beggars.
The man who was acting with her just now was handing out steamed buns to everyone in the front, while she followed behind, took out the money bag that had just contained the coins, and handed out a few coins into each broken bowl.
Such a petite figure was outlined with a gentle edge by the setting sun, which only made him look a little dazed.
"Let's go."
There is obviously no point in arguing with her anymore.
As soon as everyone left, Tang Yun gently reminded Tang Xiaoxiao: "He's gone."
Tang Xiaoxiao stood up and wiped cold sweat from his forehead: "I think a person like him wouldn't care about me."
Having said that, I still have some lingering fears.
When she opened her wallet and saw the gold medal inside, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. Although she thought about his identity by looking at his clothes, she didn't expect it to be so extraordinary!
"But looking at him, he doesn't look like such a vicious person. People say that he killed his brothers and was extremely cruel. Could it be that people spread rumors to spread rumors like this?"
"Tsk," Tang Yun snorted, "Why do you care so much? If you don't go home, your father will break your legs."
"Ah!" Tang Xiaoxiao was really panicked. He quickly twisted up his skirt and ran back.
If her father finds out, even if her legs won't be broken, it won't be so easy to bring food to the beggars in the old street next time!
The Royal Palace of England.
Qi Yunqian looked at the information in his hand: "Tang Yan Gong? Is he the Cavalry Lieutenant Wu Lue Zuo who was demoted to Suiling to guard the border for seven years because he offended King Zheng?"
Li Yuanqiu replied: "Yes, it's him. Some time ago, when I discovered that King Zheng and the others were moving, I secretly sent people to the capital, and one of them was him. Later, in terms of merit and rewards, he was granted the title of Xuanwu of the fourth rank in the capital.
Captain, the whole family moved back from Suiling."
"Does his family have a daughter?" Qi Yunqian continued to ask.
Li Yuanqiu immediately laughed when he heard this: "Then Tang Yan Gong has no sons, only one adopted son. In addition, his wife gave him five daughters. I wonder which one you are asking about?"
"Which one?" Qi Yunqian suddenly thought, he seemed to have never asked that girl's name.
