Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

I didn't expect Shen Xun to come to the capital and live in such a good official residence. What right did he have?
Qin Yi felt mixed emotions as he watched Shen Xun and the guards enter the house.

There were two servants guarding the door of the house. They were sitting on a long bench, chewing a piece of ointment in their hands.

Qin Yi thought for a moment, then walked forward and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, little brother, what is your master's official position?"

The servant rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "Go away! Are you qualified to ask about our master's affairs?"

Qin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your master and I are from the same hometown. We both came back from the northwest. I just wanted to ask about his situation. There is no other intention."

When the servant heard that this person was also from the northwest, he believed it a little and spoke in a more polite tone: "Then I will tell you, my master is the Shaoqing of the Ministry of Rites."

"Shao Qing?" Qin Yi's mouth suddenly became dry. "Why is he the Shao Qing in Taichang?"

What happened to Shen Xun in just one year? Why did he get promoted so quickly?

Even though he had a letter of recommendation from the prefect of Dunhuang County, it still took him several years to climb to the position of Shaoqing.

Why does Shen Xun do that?
The servant rolled his eyes at Qin Yi again: "Hey! What do you mean? Why can't my master be the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Rites? He is the messenger of the community god, and even the Emperor has to give him some courtesy."

"What messenger?" Qin Yi was puzzled.

Seeing that the man was like a fool and didn't understand what he was saying, the servant simply ignored him.

My master is very famous in the whole capital. Many noble families want to make friends with him and ask him to pass a message to the god of the community. But it turns out that this person knows nothing. How unlucky!
"Go, go, go! Don't block the way at the door!" The servant decided not to give him face anymore and drove him away immediately.

Qin Yi had no choice but to leave, but he became more and more upset.

What happened in this life? Why did Shen Xun, who died early, live smoothly until now?

During the time in the Western Regions, Qin Yi knew that the community god appeared to help Li Mao, Chen Wuhou and others, and also gave them a lot of food and supplies.

He was very puzzled at the time and envied the good luck of Chen Wuhou and his gang.

He even thought that he was the chosen one, and that the gods helped him survive in the harsh environment in this way.

Later, Li Mao and Chen Wuhou left, and Qin Yi was left in the Western Regions. Only then did he gradually realize that something was wrong.

Because the community god never appeared again, even though the captain offered a lot of treasures and valuables, the community god did not accept them.

It was not until Li Gan recalled him and several soldiers to Yumen Pass that Qin Yi learned that the community god had appeared in the imperial city and the emperor had set up an altar and incense table in front of the Tiande Hall for this purpose.

And now, the servant actually told him that Shen Xun was the messenger of the community god?
How can it be?

Even if the community god really has a messenger, shouldn't it be Li Mao or Chen Wuhou?
Or it could be anyone else, why Shen Xun?

Qin Yi had a splitting headache and staggered back.

Before I knew it, I was at the door of Xue's house again and suddenly bumped into a young man.

Or rather, it was not a collision, but the young man in brocade clothes hugged him.

Qin Yi raised his head with difficulty and saw a familiar face.

"Brother Qin! It really is you!"

The young man exclaimed in surprise: "You are in the capital too?"

Qin Yi then recognized that the young man in gorgeous clothes in front of him was Xue Yi. He forced a smile, then tilted his body and fainted.

It was already evening when he woke up. Qin Yi looked around and saw that he was in a clean and tidy house with shiny wooden floors and two copper crane multi-branch lamps in the corners.

He was lying on a soft couch, covered with a warm floral quilt.

"Are you awake?" A young man suddenly walked over from the side, scaring Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded and propped himself up to sit up.

The young man Xue Yi was holding a lacquer tray with an exquisite porcelain bowl on it.

"Brother Qin, drink the porridge to warm yourself up." Xue Yi put the lacquer tray on the small table, then picked up the porcelain bowl and handed it to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi took the bowl, which contained thick yellow rice porridge that was still steaming, and it was obvious that it had just been cooked.

"Thank you." He picked up the spoon and started eating slowly, trying his best to restrain himself from showing any urgency.

Xue Yi knelt beside the low couch and looked at him, smiling and said, "Brother Qin, are you here to look for my sister?"

Qin Yi paused and said nothing.

Xue Yi added: "My elder sister doesn't live with us now. She went to the residence of Princess Chengyang and was adopted by my uncle."

Qin Yi knew that this was an inevitable result, because Princess Chengyang's only daughter had no children, and Lingyao had been adopted by her uncle in her previous life and eventually became the Princess of Rui.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi's face changed slightly, and he asked quickly: "Has your sister promised to marry?"

"We are discussing the marriage. I heard from my father that Princess Chengyang wants to marry her sister to Prince Rui." Xue Yi replied with a smile.

Qin Yi became anxious when he heard this: "No! Don't let Lingyao marry Prince Rui!"

Although he had used the lives of Shen Zhao and his son to exchange for Lingyao's life in his previous life, there were too many variables in this life, and he might not be able to control Shen Zhao and extend Lingyao's life.

Xue Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why? Prince Rui is your Majesty's biological brother. Although his princess consort just died, he is only 27 years old, has a noble status and good appearance, and is a perfect match for my sister."

"No!" Qin Yi grabbed Xue Yi's arm and said seriously: "I can't explain it to you clearly. Please help me introduce your parents. I will explain the reason to them."

Xue Yi was a little displeased when he heard this: "Brother Qin, is there anything you can't tell me? I'm already sixteen years old and have been following my father to handle official business. Don't treat me like a child like before."

Qin Yi was stunned, and quickly said: "That's not what I meant, but this matter is very serious, and your father must make the decision."

Xue Yi hesitated for a moment, then stood up and brushed off his robes: "Okay, I'll introduce you."

Qin Yi was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Xue Yi: "Thank you, Ayi."

He was worried that he couldn't find a chance to meet Xue Song, but he didn't expect that God would always favor him and let him meet Xue Yi.

So, Qin Yi followed Xue Yi to meet Xue Song, and mentioned Xue Lingyao to him, saying tactfully: "Uncle Xue, some time ago my father appeared in my dream and told me what will happen in the next ten years, as well as the ending of the Xue family and Sister Lingyao. If you believe me, I will tell you, but if you don't, I won't tell you."

Xue Song frowned and looked at Qin Yi. Seeing how miserable and miserable he was, he felt a little disdainful.

But he was very curious about what Qin Yi would say, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead, I believe you."

In the past, perhaps Xue Song would not believe in dreams, but now even the community god has appeared, maybe Qin Yi really has some great news?
Qin Yi bowed respectfully to Xue Song and whispered, "This is a serious matter that may endanger the lives of many people. Uncle Xue, please swear not to reveal a word to outsiders, otherwise I dare not say anything."

Xue Song was a little impatient, but he still said: "Okay! I swear I will never mention this to outsiders, otherwise I will be struck by lightning." (End of this chapter)
