Chapter 496
"It seems that Mr. Xu has been observing our movements."
Su Manrong looked away thoughtfully and turned to look at Xiao Chengxian's face that didn't know what he was thinking: "Husband? What are you thinking about?"
"He wants to cross the sea and go west, is he pursuing the art of time travel and seizing the body, or does he have other motives?" ωωw..net
Xiao Chengxian felt that if Xu Ce had been dormant for more than ten years, he would not have been able to get close to Emperor Shengkang and avenge the Xu family, so he sought ways to travel through time and seize the body, hoping to save the Xu family from the tragedy in advance. This is human nature.
But now that Emperor Shengkang is dead and the Xu Mansion's great feud has been avenged, what does Xu Ce want to do if he is still pursuing these impossible spells like this?
"It would be nice to have a chat with him before leaving."
Su Manrong also felt that Xu Ce was really nagging.
However, in order to study the art of time travel and body seizing, he went to the top of the mountain to pursue lightning and was struck by lightning, and even went into the sea and was drowned...
It seems that he has a thorough understanding of these natural phenomena...
Then the group began to pack their bags. There was still a month until Dr. Wu and the others returned, and Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian couldn't wait here forever.
They were going to meet up with the two children in the border town of the Rus Kingdom, and then they would go all the way south and stay in a city within the borders of the Dekang Kingdom for a month.
I want to use this month to develop a city...
The city in the northern part of the Dekang Kingdom corresponds to the northeastern province in modern society.
You must know that before and after the reform and opening up, there were many large factories in Northeast China.
It can be seen that the Northeast region has a unique geographical location. If she follows the development of modern society and develops the Northeast as soon as possible, it can be regarded as a good thing for the New Emperor.
"You two are leaving so soon?" Xu Ce saw Xiao Chengxian's people arranging their horses, and he couldn't help but come to talk to them.
"Yes, there is still one month left before the ice-free period. It is very cold here and it is really inconvenient to live. We are temporarily evacuating.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope that like Mr. Xu, I can cross the sea to the west and see the scenery on the other side of the ocean."
Su Manrong was wearing a white fur coat, a hat and a scarf, with only a pair of black eyes rolling around, looking thoughtfully at the man in front of her.
"But I heard that the techniques of time travel and body seizing were spread from across the ocean. Madam, you don't want to continue looking for the techniques of time travel?"
Xu Ce is inevitably a little anxious, worried that if Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian leave, they will never set foot here again, and he will cross the other side of the ocean alone, fearing that he will never come back...
"Now that things have happened, we have figured it out. If there was a way to control the sunrise and sunset, birth, old age, sickness and death, wouldn't the legal order in this world be disrupted?"
Su Manrong shook her head and explained with relief: "Master Xu has good intentions in pursuing the art of time travel for the sake of the people in his family.
But if someone is taking advantage of it, I'm afraid it won't be so that Quanxia's loved ones can't rest in peace.
I hope Mr. Xu will act with caution."
Su Manrong clearly reminded Xu Ce that she and Xiao Chengxian came to Xu Ce because he claimed to be good at time travel and body seizing.
But in the end, he just wanted to use her and Xiao Chengxian to achieve his goals.
Nowadays, there are rumors about time travel and the art of seizing bodies from the other side of the ocean. I wonder whose scam it is?
Xu Ce is a smart man, and her words will definitely make Xu Ce realize that he is the one who plays the game, or he may be the one who plays the game for others.
"There are so many lives in the Xu family... Even if my actions are very dangerous, I will fight for them all.
I can't thank you enough for your kindness, Madam, but I have made up my mind."
"Everyone in the Xu family died unjustly. If I were you, I would revive the lintel of the Xu family, tell the world, and let everyone know that the original tragedy in the Xu family was the selfish desire of Emperor Sheng Kang.
Maybe I will work tirelessly to benefit thousands of people. While they are grateful to me, they will also pray for my family."
Su Manrong sighed heavily as he spoke: "But everyone has his own ambitions, Mr. Xu still needs to take care of himself."
After saying that, Su Manrong got into the carriage with the help of Wuling Guards.
At this time, a smokeless charcoal fire had been set in the carriage in advance, and there was a burst of warmth in the carriage. Su Manrong took off his hat and scarf, and the hands hidden under the cloak hugged the warm baby tightly and refused to let go.
After everyone had tidied up, Xiao Chengxian walked into the carriage and prepared to set off.
"Madam, what did you talk to Xu Ce about just now? He seems to be very constipated."
Xiao Chengxian did not take the warm baby from Su Manrong, but put his hand comfortably into Su Manrong's cloak.
"He's constipated because he's thinking..."
Su Manrong raised her lips and smiled. Under her influence, Xiao Chengxian became almost half a modern person.
As long as there is no one around, he will always speak some modern language with her.
He also felt that the ancient literature was very boring, not to mention that his wife came from modern times, and she was even more irritable because of her uncertainty.
After the southbound team left this world of ice and snow, the 50th Guards came to report that there was someone on horseback following them, and whether they wanted to catch them and ask.
Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian thought that this person must be Xu Ce, so they asked the 50th Guards to pretend they didn't see him.
It wasn't until after nightfall that everyone rested at the inn in the city, and Su Manrong invited Xu Ce over to have a drink at the same table.
For Xu Ce, since the day the Xu family was exterminated, he no longer has his own name and identity.
If he wants to survive, he can only live as an adopted son of his adoptive parents. He studies but cannot take the imperial examination. He practices martial arts but cannot join the army and become a soldier.
When a person is in a low position, his name and origin are not important.
But if you want to climb up, you have to accept everyone's attention and investigation.
According to his household registration information, he is just the adopted son of his parents, and his age is also recorded truthfully...
When Emperor Shengkang was in power, Xu did a lot of bad things. Anyone with an improper background was not allowed to join the officialdom or the army.
Because Emperor Shengkan was worried that among these people with shady backgrounds, there were descendants of loyal ministers who had been murdered by him...
Nowadays, Shengkang has changed his dynasty, but only the law on the distinction between concubines and concubines has been changed. There is no law stating whether people with irregular backgrounds can join the officialdom or join the army.
He also thought about becoming a master, overturning the case for the Xu family, and telling the world.
But he can't even join the army, so how can he become a master?
So I wanted to find another way...
"The person currently in office is Emperor Yongzhi, who is diligent in government, loves the people, and is people-oriented.
As long as you are outstanding enough and can contribute to the court, I believe that the Holy Emperor will not miss out on good ministers because of your status."
Xiao Chengxian couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing Xu Ce's story.
How could he not see his own shadow in Xu Ce?
At the beginning, he was harmed by the distinction between concubines and concubines, and all his achievements and fame were cut off. He had lost confidence in the Shengkang Dynasty.
