Qin Xiao was in a very depressed mood on the way home from Dali Temple.

Su Yu told the saint that he had asked the saint to retire and return home, which surprised Qin Xiao. Thinking about the fact that after he was transferred to Dali Temple, Su Yu not only did not suppress and exclude him, but also took care of him in many places. This old man was one of the few helps he had in Kyoto.

Now that the old man suddenly wants to retire, he is naturally sighing when he is surprised.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Su Yu chose to retire at this joint point, and probably hoped to escape unsuccessfully. Without Qin Xiao’s Dali Temple, no one knew what situation would be facing next. Su Yu was obviously tired and had no intention of continuing to wade into the muddy waters.

However, Qin Xiao knew that he was dismissed from the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the happiest person should be the people from the Ministry of Justice.

When he returned to the mansion, the whole mansion was naturally very happy. Everyone didn't know that Qin Xiao had been dismissed from office, but Qin Xiao was naturally better than anything else to come back safely.

"Sister Qiu Niang, I have something to tell you." When he returned to the East Courtyard, Qin Xiao looked depressed: "We don't know how long we can live in this house."

Qiu Niang was a little surprised, sat down next to her and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"I won't hide it from you. My official position has been dismissed. The saint had previously rewarded me with fief. Before this grain was obtained, the fief was taken back." Qin Xiao said helplessly: "I have no official position, no fief, and no salary. I am a white-collar student."

Qiu Niang was not surprised and said softly: "They said before that if you kill the prince of Bohai, the people of Bohai will not give up. Now you are just dismissed from your official position and saved your life. This is the best result. As long as you are alive, it is better than anything else."

"But how do we live in the future?" Qin Xiao sighed: "This house is Shaoqing's mansion. My Dali Temple Shaoqing's position has been removed and it will be taken back in a few days."

Qiu Niang immediately said, "You forgot that you asked me to bring back several trucks of gifts a few days ago. Those gifts were exchanged for silver, and we would never use them all in our lifetime."

"This is what I worry about." Qin Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip: "These gifts were given by various departments and yamen. I heard that some people in the imperial court wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble for me, so they had to return all of these gifts. I have no official position now, so the people who gave gifts must also think about taking the things back, and these gifts cannot be preserved."

Qiu Niang was stunned at first, and saw Qin Xiao’s expression of distress, and comforted him: “Why don’t you give me some money before? I have all saved it, and there is also a cloth shop…!” Thinking of something, he asked softly: “Can the cloth shop be saved?”

Qin Xiao nodded, Qiu Niang was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, it's really not possible. Let's go back to Kushui Lane. I can still hold a boat, but no one charges the river fee now. I earn more than before. We can't starve to death."

"Are you going back and continue to ride the boat?" Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Niang.

Qiu Niang was a little embarrassed and said, "I won't do anything else, I can only do this to supplement some household expenses."

"Then aren't you afraid that those people used to laugh at you?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Qiu Niang didn't care: "We are not going to steal and rob, we rely on our strength to make money and make money. There is no shame. But you, as an official before, could not do these hard work, and you would be gossiped about. In the future, we will save some money and always have enough food."

Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Niang indifferently, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of her lips. Qiu Niang saw him staring at her and laughing, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said awkwardly: "Why are you laughing at?"

"I just feel blessed." Qin Xiao held Qiu Niang's hand: "Sister Qiu Niang, no matter how poor or rich we are, we will never be able to separate our lives."

Qiu Niang heard the voice softly, lowered her head, and said with a hint of dizziness on her cheeks: "I...I gave you everything, of course... Of course I won't be separated from you."

Qin Xiao had a clear mind. The last time he sneaked into the palace, he accidentally learned that he was the saint's seven killing auxiliary star. With this one alone, he knew that the saint would never leave himself aside and ignore him.

Although he has issued an order to remove his official position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he knows that this is nothing more than a temporary look for the Bohai Mission, so that both sides can have a way out. After this matter is over, the saint should arrange new errands for himself.

The saint of the previous period had already revealed his intention, and was planning to set up a Protectorate in Jiangnan, and then he asked himself to go to Jiangnan to help build a Protectorate. If there was no accident, he would not have been given a decree to himself in a short time.

But Dali Temple will definitely not be able to go back.

In the next few days, Qin Xiao turned a blind eye to the outside of the window and locked himself in the yard. Qiu Niang came to the time to deliver food, and no one else was allowed to enter without authorization.

Of course, everyone in the mansion knew soon that their master's official position had been dismissed. Although they felt that their future life would be difficult, they worked in the mansion and had no worries about food and clothing. Qin Xiao did not say that they would dismiss everyone, so naturally no one would leave on their own initiative.

Qin Xiao was locked up in the yard and everyone thought that the master was depressed because he was dismissed from his official position and did not want to see anyone.

Naturally no one knows that Qin Xiao has not left the house these days, but he has been practicing hard every day. In addition to the continuous practice of the [Ancient Idiom and Qi Jue], the most important thing is the spiritual fox strolling wave taught by Mr. Er. This set of steps is extremely mysterious. Even with Qin Xiao's intelligence, it is not easy to understand it in a short time.

The Spirit Fox Steps in the Wave evolved from the Eight Trigrams, so the whole set of steps is actually divided into eight chapters, but they are tolerant and change each other. According to Mr. Er's statement at that time, if you can integrate these eight chapters and practice them proficiently, even if you meet a master of the Great Heaven Realm, you may not be able to escape by relying on the Spirit Fox Steps in the Wave.

Qin Xiao met many masters along the way. The fatal thing was that after he broke through to the fourth grade at an extremely fast speed, there seemed to be no sign of further breakthrough. If he met a master again in the future, he would be unable to compete with him, and he really needed this set of footwork to save his life.

He was a diligent person. When he lived alone in Turtle City in Xiling, he had been doing so for many years. Every morning, he would get up and practice Bajiquan before dawn. Bajiquan was taught by Old Man Zhong to strengthen his body and never stop.

Now the skills he has learned are far from being comparable to Tai Chi, but he is plagued by everything, and he is not as free as he did in Turtle City.

Now that I finally have free time, I naturally do not slacken at all.

In addition to practicing the [Ancient Improvisational Art] every day, the Blood Demon's sword technique is not interrupted, and most of the time is spent on familiarizing yourself with the Spirit Fox Stepping on the Wave.

After many days, no one came to disturb him. Six days later, Qiu Niang finally brought news that the Bohai mission had left Kyoto. Before leaving, the saint issued an order to give marriage and inform the world that Princess Yonghe was given to King Yongzang of Bohai, making the two countries a country of in-laws.

The court sent Liu Boshun, the Minister of Rites, to send his brides and mobilized a team of Shence troops to escort to the border.

Qin Xiao knew that after the Bohai mission returned to China, there was probably no good result. The two envoys Cui Shangyuan and Zhao Zhengyu were inevitably subject to rectification by Yuan Gaijian. After all, the Bohai Mo Lizhi handed over his beloved son to the two envoys to take care of him. He went to the Tang Dynasty in a lively manner, but he could only return to the Bohai Sea with a broken body.

Qin Xiao could even imagine Yuan Gaijian's expression of being tragic when he saw his beloved son being penetrated by a knife. If the Bohai Mo Lizhi knew that this was done by Qin Xiao, the viscount of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely include Qin Xiao on the list of people who must be killed in Bohai.

After a few days, the Spirit Fox Steps in the Wave is much more proficient, but it is not possible to complete this set of steps in a short time to fully understand and even practice this set of steps.

Since that night, Mr. Second, no longer appeared, but when Qin Xiao thought of Mr. Second, he immediately thought of Hongye. Whenever he thought of Hongye, he immediately thought of Zhiming Academy.

After Hongye separated from her in Hangzhou, she was unknown whereabouts. Qin Xiao didn’t know whether she returned to Beijing, nor did she know whether she was in Zhimingyuan.

However, he also knew from Qiu Niang that Zhimingyuan was actually not far from his residence and could arrive in less than an hour by car.

Zhiming Academy is naturally a mysterious place for Qin Xiao. The most important thing is that Qin Xiao felt that he might find clues about his life experience from Zhiming Academy.

After Old Man Zhong passed away, he lived to Turtle City, and Hongye has been secretly protecting himself since then. If Hongye and Old Man Zhong had nothing to do with him, Qin Xiao would never believe it.

When he encountered difficulties in Turtle City, Hongye reminded himself that if there was no way out, he could go to Kyoto to find Zhimingyuan. This can also prove that Hongye must have a relationship with Zhimingyuan. If Old Man Zhong and Hongye have a connection, it means that Old Man Zhong and Zhimingyuan also have some relationship.

Since I remembered, I didn’t know who my parents were. I was always taken care of by Old Man Zhong. Why did Old Man Zhong take care of a child who had no blood relationship with him?

Old Man Zhong never mentions Qin Xiao’s life experience. What’s the reason?

Old Man Zhong must be very clear about his life experience when he was able to take good care of himself, otherwise he would not have taken care of a child who didn't even know his life experience.

There seemed to be a voice deep in Qin Xiao's heart that Zhimingyuan was a crucial place to pursue the mystery of his life experience.

After he came to Beijing, he had thought about going to Zhiming Academy to explore the truth and reality several times, but there was no reason to go to a college rashly. Once he was stared at by someone with ulterior motives, he might even become suspicious. Qin Xiao knew that since the academy had been so cautious, he might not want the two parties to have too direct contact on the surface.

So he had this idea several times, but he gave up his thoughts.

However, this time Mr. Second appeared, he guessed that Mr. Second might have a connection with Zhiming Academy. He was even more curious about Zhiming Academy and was willing to take advantage of these few days to check the truth and reality. Compared to the past, he had no reason, this time he thought of an excellent reason.
