Under the escort of Feiyuwei, Sui Yingtai and others were taken out of Fenghuang Mountain in an orderly manner, and the children in the iron cage were also taken back to the city by soldiers from the Wu Family Army and Benlangying Camp who came to support them and resettled them properly.

In addition to the rescued children, a large amount of gunpowder and saltpeter was also seized this time, almost three times that of the Imperial Firearms Institute.

And the pure gold dragon chair proved Sui Yingtai's intention of treason.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, the implication of the nine families of the Sui family was nothing more than a matter of Emperor Su Wu's words.

Prince An, who had successfully completed the task, finally breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that Xiao Ruo was softly embraced by Xiao Xun in his arms.

"Ruo Ruo, this is..." He asked anxiously, "Do you want to ask the imperial physician for a diagnosis and treatment?"

The old man's daughter has made great contributions in this mission, and Prince An is already very concerned about the Xiao family siblings.

Xiao Xun turned slightly to block Prince An's gaze, and replied: "Don't bother your lord, Ruo Ruo is just a little tired, just go home and take a nap later."

When Xiao Ruo suddenly had a nosebleed and fell limp beside him just now, Xiao Xun almost lost his mind and soul.

Fortunately, Xiaoruo was still conscious, held his hand and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, just not letting the gunpowder explode is too exhausting... Just rest for a while... Don't, don't let them know about my abnormality." able……"

Knowing the fate of the supernatural power being known by Prince An, Xiaoxun immediately wiped off her nosebleed, and hugged her whole in her arms. Even Xiaozhao wanted to see the elder sister's face, but Xiaoxun felt that Xiaoruo was too tired and fell asleep. Push it away.

Hearing what Xiaoxun said, Prince An no longer insisted.

Seeing that the sky was turning pale outside, and the long night was over, he let out the depression that had been pent up in his chest all night and said, "Then go back and rest quickly, and when this king returns to report to the Holy Spirit, someone will come to inform you to enter the palace to lead you." reward."

That being said, it still took nearly half a year to deal with the Sui family and the remnants of the Sui family.

The news that shocked the whole country spread from the palace one by one.

The uncle of the country conspired to rebel and beheaded, the queen was abolished and imprisoned in Taici Temple forever, and there were 320 five people in the Sui family.

The prime minister, Qiao Shengyuan, formed a clique, caused chaos in the court, and was demoted to a commoner. He was exiled for thousands of miles and could not return to Yingzhou.

Yongzhou Inspector Yan Shifu, Lianzhou Sima Xu Guangyou, Jinzhou Governor Zhou Yonghe... Dozens of officials, big and small, were all implicated, demoted or imprisoned, and the entire court was shaken.

On June [-]th, Emperor Suwu formally promulgated an edict, appointing the seventh prince Zang Tinghua as the crown prince, in charge of the East Palace and able to listen to the government, and making the seventh prince's adoptive mother, Concubine Min Shu, the queen. Stay in the palace to enjoy the family.

After all the dust settled in the court, Emperor Suwu sent someone to report to summon Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun.

Zang Tinghua, who has become the crown prince, sat beside Emperor Suwu, looking at Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun with a smile.

Emperor Suwu Zang Lu looked at the two people in front of him kindly and said, "You two have done a lot to put down the Sui family this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun had already discussed it at home. Although the emperor's kindness is mighty, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. The two just want to live together as a family in peace and stability. Too grand kindness will make Xiao's family fall into a storm .

Xiaoruo replied with a righteous face: "Thank you for your kindness, arresting traitors is everyone's duty, women don't dare to take credit for it, if His Majesty is sympathetic, it would be great if the women dared to ask His Majesty to reward him with some gold and silver."

In the past, when asked what kind of reward they wanted, those officials would always say no, but secretly hinted desperately that they wanted officials and nobles. This was the first time Zang Lu saw someone who only wanted money and was so confident.

He was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay! I appreciate your straightforward temperament without hiding it! Then give me ten thousand taels of gold!"

After thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't enough, so he added: "I remember you opened a shop? Then I will give you a plaque, and let Xiao Suzi deliver it to you another day."

The plaque inscribed by the Holy Majesty himself is so dignified to hang up!No one will underestimate the Xinli Cordyceps Store!

This is really a surprise, Xiao Ruo sincerely kowtowed to Zang Lu to thank Zang Lu at this moment.

"Then what about you, Gu family boy, what reward do you want?" Zang Lu turned his head and asked Xiao Xun who had been silent all this time. "I remember your father said before that Yingzhou's water and soil support people, why not take this opportunity to reward you with a house in Yingzhou, so that you can take Jingzhong over to take care of you."

Xiaoxun's heart was moved, he didn't expect Emperor Suwu to remember his father's words many years ago.

"Return to Your Majesty, my father has been dead for many years. I was afraid of making His Majesty sad, so I haven't reported it. I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Suddenly hearing that the old man had passed away, Zang Lu felt a faint sadness in his chest.

"Jing Zhong has already... Hey... Then there are other people in your family who can also come to Yingzhou."

The Gu family is loyal, and the Gu family boy is so outstanding in skill. He wants to train the Gu family into a new martial arts family. Min Kuan has just become the prince, and he has no loyal ministers under him. He wants to prepare a new sharp blade for his son.

Xiaoxun's answer disappointed him greatly.

"Both parents have passed away, and I am the only one in the family." Xiao Xun's face was calm, and now when he mentioned family matters, he no longer had the anger and resentment he had before.

He prostrated himself on the ground and respectfully said: "Xiao Min dares to ask the Holy Admiral to bestow upon Xiao Min the name of my father's hundred generals."

"Oh? You want to be a general?" Zang Lu raised his eyebrows.

He can be named a general, but if someone takes the initiative to be a general...he will have to reconsider.

"No, I only want the title of General of Hundred Households, I don't want any military power, and I don't require any real position in the army..."

"then you……"

"When I was young, I was kidnapped by Ren Yazi and lost my memory. It was Ruo Ruo who saved me. Up to now, I still use the name Ruo Ruo gave me—Xiao Xun. I just want to be peaceful with Ruo Ruo in this life. We will grow old hand in hand... But I am the only one left in my Gu family... Now I can stay in the Gu family..."

Having said this, Xiao Xun was a little choked up.

Tears flickered in Zang Tinghua's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Emperor Suwu and pleaded: "Father, the Gu family is pitiful, and the ministers think that his request can be fulfilled. This will not only show that the father cares about the old ministers and love the people, but also fulfill his fists." Filial piety."

Looking down at Xiaoxun who was kneeling on the ground for a long time, Emperor Suwu nodded and said: "In this case, I will give you the title of General of Hundred Households, and the salary and treatment are the same as those of respecting Zhong, but you, General of Hundred Households, are a poor man. , have no soldiers."

While talking, he stared closely at Xiaoxun's facial expression, seeing that Xiaoxun really thanked him sincerely, Emperor Suwu's complexion turned slightly pale, and his tone of voice softened a lot.

"You and Xiaoruo are in love with each other, how about I give you two another wedding?"

Without waiting for the two to reply, he decided on his own: "Those houses of the Sui family in Dongshi have been included in the national treasury. Go and see where you can catch your eye, and use it as your newlywed residence."

It seems to be a reward, but it is actually a bondage for Xiaoxun.

However, Emperor Suwu's decision just fulfilled Xiaoxun's wish-to marry Xiaoruo.

He first turned his head to look at the beautiful woman beside him, seeing Xiaoruo's pink face with spring, he smiled and nodded at him, Xiaoxun then bowed his head to thank him.

Today, the wedding ceremony bestowed by the sage Jinkou Yuyan is naturally very grand. The phoenix crown, the xiapei and the ten miles of red makeup are all royal graces. The mighty welcoming team walked around the West Market for three times. It's all boiling.

In the General's Mansion of Xinbaihu in Dongshi City, a flowing banquet was held for three days and three nights. The guests who came to congratulate were not only generals like Wu Yi, but also bachelors from the Imperial Academy, the history of the Imperial Hospital, and even Prince An himself. , Send a picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren to the couple.

The general manager Su Henian came to congratulate him with the plaque of the Xinli Cordyceps Specialty Store with the inscription by the current emperor, which pushed the atmosphere of the wedding banquet to the climax. Everyone in Yingzhou knew that this Xinli Cordyceps Monopoly The owner of the store is backed by the royal family!

The red silk reflects the happy candle, and the mandarin duck and pepper house are fragrant.

Under the tassel warm tent, Xiao Xun held Xiao Ruo's hand, their foreheads were pressed together, and their eyes met.

"You and I will stay together for the rest of our lives, and we will never lose each other."

Life after life as a couple, addicted to the world of mortals and never leave.
