Wang Quan's thoughts returned to that winter afternoon twenty years ago in an instant.
"This winter has been a bit difficult!"
"Yeah, it's getting colder and colder today."
"Ha, it doesn't get cold here all year round. Aren't you used to it?"
"Habits are habits, but if it gets colder every day, many people won't be able to survive it!\"
The conversation came to an abrupt end. The people in the conversation were no longer interested in chatting. However, at this time, a young man who was very luxuriously dressed said something in a very uninteresting way, which immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.
"Why can't you get through it? Can't you wear more clothes?"
"......\"
Although the people in the restaurant are not wealthy people, those who can go to the restaurant to eat meat and drink wine on such a snowy day are not the lowest level of the people.
In other words, they are not the kind of people who can't survive the winter as they say.
But even so, the people in the restaurant were very dissatisfied when they heard this sentence.
Especially after seeing the gorgeous coat of the young man who spoke, which seemed to be worth a lot of money, this dissatisfaction suddenly burst out.
After just a short while, there was a burst of sneer, and then, cynicism, and all kinds of weird remarks came out.
"Hey, whose child is this? He has started to care about national affairs before his hair even grows."
"I seemed to have smelled a very smelly fart just now. Did you smell it? I am a cow and a horse, this is too smelly, it will kill me!"
"Some people are born with good clothes and good food. Naturally, they don't know what it means to survive. They don't think about it. If they hadn't been born with a good pregnancy, they might still be working hard, and where would they have the opportunity to come to this drunken place? Hugh!"
"Hahaha, didn't you also scold yourself when you said that? How could I remember that your kid is also a rich second generation?"
"What are you talking about? Although my family is rich, I am not where I am today because of my family. I also have some abilities!"
"Hahaha, that's well said! Unlike some people, except for their good skills in reincarnation, they are absolutely useless in other aspects!"
"Hahahahaha!"
These words immediately caused a roar of laughter, and many people subconsciously turned their attention to the young man who just said those words, with strong disdain in their eyes.
People can be stupid, but they cannot lack common sense.
People can be rich, but they cannot be stupid and have too much money. Otherwise, no one will have a good look at you.
If so, that means you're being targeted.
This was a fact that Wang Quan finally understood not long after this incident.
There is no need to go into details about what happened, only the result.
He was lied to.
As an emperor, on his first patrol incognito, he was deceived. Not only was the gold leaf he carried with him wiped out, but even his eye-catching clothes were taken away by a group of "good Samaritans" .
And he didn't finally discover this fact until he was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
Of course, you may ask, doesn’t the emperor even bring a bodyguard for his private visit?
Then your question is on point.
In fact, this is a tradition of the Varun royal family.
All emperors must go to the private sector to experience the lives of the common people within five years of inheriting the throne.
Unless something unexpected happens, the guards cannot intervene.
In other words, even if the emperor is on a tour and is betrayed, as long as the person is fine, the guards can only watch.
Everything must be resolved by the emperor himself.
So this emperor in his early twenties, who had just become emperor, soon realized what it meant to be unable to survive the winter.
After being defrauded of all his money and clothes, Wang Quan unfortunately did not survive long.
Just before he was so hungry that he was about to faint from the cold, the guards who could no longer bear it finally swarmed up and took the young emperor back to the palace as quickly as possible.
It can only be said that this future master who will be the best in the world, not long after he tasted the glory and wealth, he disgracefully tasted the suffering and dangerous world of the world.
The ups and downs of life are clearly reflected in him.
Since then, the young man who rose from proton to become emperor has gradually matured.
If he hadn't been obsessed with martial arts and neglected government affairs, he might have had the potential to become a wise king.
"Huh...Mingjun? After this incident, I'm afraid the people who call me stupid will line up from Nantianmen to Beidimen? Do you think so, Xiaoyi?"
Sitting on the top of the imperial city wall, looking at the snowy scene in the distance, Wang Quan asked self-deprecatingly.
"Your Majesty, no."
"Oh? So it's the same as what I thought..."
"Your Majesty is wise. They are busy fighting with each other and don't seem to care about this."
"Haha, it's just as I expected."
Wang Quan smiled and squinted his eyes, almost narrowing into a thin line as he watched the carriages leaving the city unscrupulously during the curfew time.
Winter nights are always so cold. In fact, even if there is no curfew, no one would choose to go out at night in this freezing weather.
People who would go out at this time and the guards could not stop them.
The identity can be imagined.
King Quan didn't do anything, and he didn't want to do it.
If they choose to take care of these things because of their status and responsibilities, the gains outweigh the losses.
Some fun things can no longer be seen.
Thinking of this, he became excited, ignored the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, pulled his personal guard Qin Xiaoyi to his side and ordered him to sit down.
"As you said, will anyone be chasing you later? How many waves of people will there be?"
Facing the emperor's inquiry, Qin Xiaoyi smiled bitterly.
He knew this person's temper very well. When he was in a high mood, he would often ignore the other person's identity and conduct conversations on an equal footing.
At first he was a little uncomfortable with it, but after more experience, he understood it.
There is no unpredictable power, this emperor just wants to find someone to talk to.
"Your Majesty, haven't you already given half of your answer?"
After saying this, Qin Xiaoyi fell into deep thought.
"The people in front of you should be the family members of His Majesty's ministers who take care of life. They should have received the news and went out to avoid the limelight... None of your ministers who take care of life are simple. Whatever may happen tomorrow morning, I'm afraid they Arrangements have been made a long time ago. Just in case, the family is sent out of the city for emergency evacuation..."
"Needless to say this, I just want to ask you, how many killers will those people send?"
Wang Quan waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, do you mean different aristocratic families? It's really hard to say. There should be a wave of influence from the Ouyang family. They are the ones who want to be in power the most. The one you, the ministers who care about life, squeeze the most is the power of the Ouyang family. You, this Let’s go, the Ouyang family should be the most active, but their purpose is not to kill, but to blackmail. Your Majesty, you are not Chang Shuo. Killing is not the purpose, it is just a means, so this first wave of people is definitely not the Ouyang family.”
"Oh? Why is this?"
Wang Quan smiled and looked at his personal guard with a cowardly expression.
Over the years, he has often used this method to cultivate these closest guards.
"It's easy to understand, because the Ouyang family doesn't want to kill people, they just want hostages. They can naturally see that other aristocratic families have the same cemetery as theirs, and there are also people who kill beforehand and then kill quickly, so not only will they not be the first Appear...at least not openly, but they will definitely be watching in secret, looking for opportunities to snatch people away, so..."
Speaking of this, Qin Xiaoyi suddenly stopped talking.
It wasn't because he couldn't think of what to say next.
But His Majesty suddenly waved his hand to shut him up.
As a loyal guard who only obeys His Majesty's orders, Qin Xiaoyi consciously closed his mouth and followed His Majesty's gaze.
Then.
Nothing at all.
Then I heard His Majesty say something.
"Even he showed up."
"who?"
"Hmph..."
"One of the Four Imperial Tigers!"
