Chapter 50 New moves!
Xu Luo raised his eyebrows, looking smug: "Why not?" Xu Xier smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth: "If you really marry the princess, your parents will wake up with a smile even in the underworld."

Xu Luo stopped talking and turned to the water tank where the sweet potatoes he cultivated with the system were planted. He looked down and couldn't help but marvel inwardly - the ripening period of the sweet potatoes was shortened so much.

After all, Xu Luo, with the thoughts of later generations, was not used to the early marriage and early childbearing of this era. Xu Xier heard this and laughed so hard that her body shook with mischief in her eyes: "Brother, you are not dreaming of marrying a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, are you?"

Xu Luo looked proud and raised his eyebrows and replied, "Why not?" Xu Xier chuckled and said in a teasing tone, "If you really become a prince consort, the spirits of your parents in heaven will be overjoyed."

Xu Luo said no more, turned and walked towards the water tank to check the sweet potatoes cultivated by the system.

Wherever he looked, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart - the speed at which these sweet potatoes matured was simply unbelievable.

Xu Luo stood at the edge of the field, looking at the plump, green leaves of sweet potatoes, feeling very happy. He thought that since these sweet potatoes were growing very fast, they would be ready for harvest in less than two months.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but imagine the bright prospects of cooperating with Lao Li.

"Brother, these sweet potatoes look like rabbits. They can be dug up in less than two months, right?" Xu Xier asked in surprise, blinking her big eyes.

Xu Luo smiled. How could ordinary sweet potatoes grow so fast? They would take more than three months to mature. But these were growing abnormally fast.

He estimated that it might be fully mature in three to five days.

"When the sweet potatoes are ripe, we'll roast them and eat as much as we want!" Xu Luo said with anticipation.

"Really?" Xu Xier's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Xu Luo smiled and nodded. At this time, Xu Xier mentioned again: "By the way, brother, I heard from Uncle Xu that the drought is severe and many victims have flocked to Jingyang.

They actually want to go to Chang'an City to file a complaint with the emperor!

Xu Xier pretended to be innocent as she spoke. She frowned and continued in confusion, "How dare they sue Your Majesty? Aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?"

Hearing this, Xu Luo was slightly stunned. Looking at Xu Xier's innocent expression, he couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

"Disaster victims..." Xu Luo murmured softly.

"Yes, it is said that the drought was so severe that nothing grew in the fields, and the people were starving, so they had no choice but to leave their homes." Xu Xier nodded, her clear eyes flashing with sympathy for the victims' plight.

At this moment, Xu Luo noticed Xu Xier's slightly trembling lips and the subtle movements of her delicate ears. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his sister was getting more and more beautiful. Even when talking about such a heavy topic, there was an unintentional temptation.

Xu Xier, who was standing next to her, held her chin with her hand, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Her lips slightly opened, and she was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Luo's smile.

Xu Xier bit her lower lip lightly, looking both seductive and innocent.

"If these sweet potatoes can thrive, they may bring a ray of hope to the Tang Dynasty." Before Xu Luo finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from outside the fence. Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others came over carefree. Xu Xier immediately put down her work, twisted her waist slightly, and walked forward to greet them like a flower swaying in the wind.

Her hair danced in the wind, revealing her slender neck, and her skin was as fresh as dew in the morning light.

"Xu Luo, have you cultivated to become an immortal in the sweet potato field? We can't find you in the entire Chang'an City. It turns out you are enjoying the pastoral life here!" Li Shimin joked.

Xu Luo turned around, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes, and he responded with a smile on his face, "Mr. Li, you are so honored to have come to my humble courtyard.

But, you guys are making such a big fuss, you wouldn't just come here to breathe some fresh air, right? "

Li Shimin deliberately avoided the topic and just smiled without answering. However, his eyes kept glancing at Xu Xier, as if he was attracted by the charm that she inadvertently revealed.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Xu Xier, and a hint of teasing appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hey, this little girl, I haven't seen her for a few days, and she has become more beautiful."

He paused, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes: "I think that Lao Cheng's friends in Chang'an City may be able to help Xi'er find a good home, what do you think?"

When Xu Xier heard this, her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She lowered her eyes embarrassedly and hurried back into the house.

At this time, Xu Luo came over leisurely and looked at Li Shimin with a teasing look on his face: "Hey, Brother Li, this is not your style. You don't come here for no reason. What's the wind blowing today?"

Li Shimin laughed, looking a little embarrassed: "Ha, I can't hide anything from you, sir! Today, I really have something to ask of you."

After hearing this, Xu Luo's smile gradually froze. He frowned and said seriously, "Come on, don't keep us in suspense. It must be for the people who were affected by the disaster, right?"

Li Shimin was stunned, his expression became complicated, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Sir, you are really smart!"

He took a deep breath and nodded seriously: "Yes, it's for them."

Li Shimin's face gradually became solemn, and he had already made a plan in his mind - how could a talent like Xu Luo be buried in the market? The Tang Dynasty needed such a talent, and he had to make good use of this opportunity.

At this moment, Xu Xier in the room gently lifted a strand of hair by her ear, her eyes moving, and the charm she inadvertently revealed was enough to make people's hearts sway. Her jade-like skin, slender neck, and elegant waist all silently told of temptation.

Xu Luo is a rare treasure in the Tang Dynasty. Think about it, let's just show our cards today, no matter whether he is an official or not. Xu Luo listened and nodded gently, his eyes showing the depth of observing the stars at night.
"The stars were abnormal last night. Mars in the southwest was like a farmer working in the fields. The Tianshu star was displaced. Omens of chaos have appeared. I expect that something unexpected will happen in the court." When Li Shimin heard this, his heart was slightly shaken. Could it be that this guy had predicted the drought in Hedong Road?

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Luo turned around and met the gazes of Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and Zhangsun Wuji one by one, and finally stopped at Fang Xuanling. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Who is this? Old Li, you found me a new partner, didn't you?"

"Well, this is a business friend." Li Shimin explained, "We met by chance, and he said he had heard of your great reputation for a long time and came to visit you specially."

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and nodded with a smile on his face. "Mr. Xu's name is well-known. When I heard Brother Li mention his conversation with him, I admired him very much. My last name is Qiao, so you can call me Old Qiao."
