A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Chapter 321 General Xiao Yan of Huaguo

Xiao Yan was a meticulous man; how could he not understand the deeper meaning in his nephew's words?

He originally planned to have his nephew lead the way, and he would personally go and pick up the person.

But his nephew's words implied that they didn't want to come, but they also didn't intend to invite him over.

He genuinely couldn't figure out what his nephew's purpose was in coming this time.

It seems we have no choice but to use our trump card.

"Xuan'er, you and your friend must be tired from your journey. Why don't you go and rest first? I'll prepare a feast tonight to treat you well, how about that?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuxuan stopped exchanging pleasantries and nodded in agreement: "Alright, I'll follow Fourth Imperial Uncle's arrangements."

Xiao Yan reminded him, "Well, if you have time, go to the inner quarters to see your fourth aunt and brothers and sisters. They've come all this way, so let them spend more time with you."

"okay, I get it."

The servants led Xiao Yuxuan and the other three to the front courtyard rooms, where men and women were separated and assigned to different rooms.

The four of them still couldn't figure out Xiao Yan. On the surface, he seemed to have no other intentions towards them.

But we have to guard against it.

Xiao Yuxuan and Xie Chengyuan lived in the east wing.

Mu Wanjun and Shen Shuli were in the west wing, separated by a fairly large garden and pond. They would have to walk around half the courtyard to get together.

The courtyard was full of servants.

After Xiao Yuxuan and Xie Chengyuan made the arrangements, they were worried that something might have happened to the women and wanted to go and find them.

They were all stopped by the servants.

The west wing wasn't just occupied by Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun; there were other guests as well.

It is inconvenient for unauthorized men to enter.

Xiao Yuxuan and Xie Chengyuan had no choice but to give up.

However, all four of them had walkie-talkies, which allowed them to communicate at any time.

"You two be careful, or you might get tricked," Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help but warn.

Mu Wanjun and Shen Shuli were in the same room. Mu Wanjun replied, "Don't worry, we're together, so we can look after each other. You two should also be careful."

Shen Shuli thought for a moment and added, "If you encounter any danger, be sure to notify me immediately. I can remotely take you into my space. Don't try to fight head-on and get yourself into trouble."

The east and west wing rooms are not too far apart, within the operational range of Shen Shuli's space.

Let alone this short distance.

Currently, Shen Shuli's spatial limit is that she can save people within a radius of one thousand square meters.

If they encounter danger anywhere in this palace, Shen Shuli can save them in time.

Xiao Yuxuan: "Okay, we'll be careful."

Not long after we settled in.

Then servants brought the four of them snacks and tea, as well as brand-new, obviously luxurious changes of clothes.

There is also a bath tub prepared.

To make it easier for them to work, Shen Shuli and the other three usually wore modern clothes that allowed them to move around easily, with at most wearing an ancient fur cloak over their clothes.

Now, in order to blend into Bizhou Prefecture unnoticed, he was dressed in the most ordinary, worn-out linen cotton clothes, looking quite destitute.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was so thoughtful, sending over fine clothes that fit the four of them so quickly.

It seems.

Xiao Yan doesn't seem to be lacking supplies.

The four communicated via walkie-talkie to prevent any accidents from happening to the other party.

Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun went to take a shower first, while Xie Chengyuan and Xiao Yuxuan kept an eye on the walkie-talkie, ready to provide support if anything went wrong.

Fortunately, everything is alright.

Then two men took turns showering and changing clothes.

Xiao Yuxuan had just changed his clothes when a maid came to inform him.

"Your Highness, the Princess and several young masters and ladies heard that you have come to the manor and would like to invite you to sit in the backyard. Is it convenient for you now?"

Xiao Yuxuan did not refuse.

He knew that this must be the Fourth Imperial Uncle's idea.

Otherwise, the Fourth Prince wouldn't have specifically instructed him to go to the backyard at the end.

“Alright, lead the way,” Xiao Yuxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maidservants respectfully led the way, while two other maidservants held oil-paper umbrellas for Xiao Yuxuan to protect him from the heavy snow.

It can be said that she was taken care of in an extremely thoughtful and meticulous manner.

soon.

Xiao Yuxuan followed the servants to the main courtyard in the backyard.

Far away.

Xiao Yuxuan heard a lot of people talking in the room.

He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, and besides, the maid next to him had already gone in to inform her.

A girl exclaimed eagerly, "My cousin's here so soon? I've never seen him before! Please invite him in!"

"Yes, Miss."

The maidservant by the door quickly lifted the curtain: "Prince Xuan, please come in."

As soon as Xiao Yuxuan stepped inside, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face.

He quickly scanned the area.

I never expected that there would be more than ten people crammed into the room!

It made him feel a little embarrassed.

Moreover, Xiao Yan was also sitting in the seat of honor in the room.

The beautiful woman next to him must be his wife.

Xiao Yuxuan quickly went over to pay his respects to the Fourth Imperial Uncle and Fourth Imperial Aunt.

"Greetings, Fourth Imperial Uncle and Fourth Imperial Aunt."

Princess Yan looked at Xiao Yuxuan with excitement, her eyes slightly red, and said, "Don't be so polite, you must be Xuan'er. Your fourth aunt only saw you once at your full moon celebration."

"I haven't seen you since then. I never imagined that after more than ten years, you would have grown into such a gentle and handsome young man."

Xiao Yuxuan had never met this fourth imperial aunt before and assumed there was no affection between them.

But to my surprise, she reacted with such deep emotion and sadness, as if there was a lot of familial affection between them.

This left Xiao Yuxuan somewhat bewildered.

But Xiao Yuxuan's emotional intelligence is definitely sufficient.

Immediately cooperate with the other party and start exchanging pleasantries.

have to say.

The appearance of this fourth imperial aunt is quite similar to that of my second aunt in modern times.

I don't have much of a mental burden right now; at worst, I can just treat her as a relative from a past life.

Xiao Yan introduced everyone in the room to Xiao Yuxuan one by one.

Xiao Yan had two sons and three daughters. His eldest daughter and two sons were already married, and their partners were all present.

Even her eldest daughter's two-year-old child was there.

have to say.

The Fourth Prince really took his arrival seriously, and his whole family came to greet him.

Xiao Yuxuan was a little annoyed that he hadn't brought a gift, which made things a bit awkward.

He whispered into the walkie-talkie, "Ah Li, quick, help me out. Pick out some suitable gifts and have the servants bring them over."

To avoid any traps here.

Shen Shuli suggested that he keep the walkie-talkie on so that the three of them could hear what was happening here.

If anything goes wrong, she can come to the rescue immediately.

But I didn't expect it.

This is actually a family reunion event.

"Okay, I understand." Shen Shuli immediately went into the space to choose a gift.

Shen Shuli was worried that the gift was inappropriate, so she would ask Xiao Yuxuan if it was suitable.

She selected eleven gifts and handed them to the maids guarding the door, asking them to deliver them to Xiao Yuxuan.

The maidservant was quick and went outside to inform her master.

"Fourth Imperial Uncle, Fourth Imperial Aunt, Eldest Sister, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister, this is my first time visiting. I have brought some small gifts, and I hope you will not find them offensive," Xiao Yuxuan said to the group.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It's good that you've come. Why bring any gifts?"

"It should."

The servants quickly brought up the gifts.

Shen Shuli had already discussed with Xiao Yuxuan beforehand and knew which items were for whom.

Xiao Yuxuan had his servants open all the gift boxes. He quickly glanced at them and then sent the items out in order of seniority.

These gifts were all carefully selected by Shen Shuli.

Each one of them is absolutely priceless.

And everything they gave touched the other person's heart, instantly making the atmosphere in the house even more relaxed and lively.

If the other party accepts a gift, they should naturally reciprocate.

Xiao Yuxuan did not refuse and accepted them all.

However, the gifts he received were noticeably inferior to the gifts he gave.

Xiao Yan, on the contrary, felt somewhat embarrassed.

But these were the best gifts he could offer.

"I'm sorry, Xuan'er, your arrival was so sudden. These gifts are a bit inadequate. I'll make sure to give you the rest in a couple of days," Xiao Yan said, trying to smooth things over.

Xiao Yuxuan didn't care, after all, not everyone is as rich as Shen Shuli.

It's already quite remarkable that the Fourth Prince was able to survive in this chaotic world of natural disasters.

The family sat together and chatted for an hour.

It's getting late.

Xiao Yan told all the children to go down and wait in the dining hall to have dinner together.

The princess was also forced to leave.

Only Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuxuan remained in the room.

Emperor Xiao Yan sat at the tea table, personally brewed tea, poured a cup for Xiao Yuxuan, and asked naturally, "What are the core socialist values?"

Xiao Yuxuan had just received the hot tea when he slammed it onto the tea tray. He stared at the Fourth Imperial Uncle in disbelief, completely motionless as if someone had struck his pressure points.

The conversation was also heard by Shen Shuli, Mu Wanjun, and Xie Chengyuan via walkie-talkie.

Xie Chengyuan found it very strange, his brows furrowed, unable to understand what the problem was.

But Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun instantly understood what was going on!

The two looked at each other with eyes full of shock.

Xiao Yan's expression turned even colder as he looked at Xiao Yuxuan with displeasure, his voice carrying a hint of reprimand.

"What, have you forgotten all your roots after staying here for a few months?"

Xiao Yuxuan finally reacted, pointing at Xiao Yan with his finger, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"You, you, you, you, you, you are Second Uncle!"

Xiao Yan finally smiled and nodded to Xiao Yuxuan, saying, "Yes, that's right, it's me."

Xie Chengyuan was completely bewildered by the conversation between the uncle and nephew.

What's the situation?

Didn't they already recognize each other?

How come the Fourth Prince has become the Second Prince again?

What kind of riddle are we talking about?

Xiao Yuxuan excitedly grabbed his second uncle's hand and asked, "Second Uncle, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be overseeing the army?"

Xiao Yan explained, "You're our only son, and you've been missing for months. How can we not be worried?"

“I had been in contact with the secret organization for a long time before they revealed your information. I happened to be inspecting the Western Military Headquarters, so I brought a few family members to inquire about you. I never expected to end up here.”

Xiao Yan explained the reason.

With the successive mysterious disappearances of Shen Shuli, Mu Wanjun, Su Yunshan, Su Yunlin, Xiao Yuxuan and others.

The organization also uncovered some clues.

Especially that novel.

The organization set up a special investigation team to study the mysteries in the novel.

The research didn't last long.

They then came to a conclusion that was accepted by most people.
