Chapter 87 Scheduled Dispute 7
It's night, the evening wind is blowing, and the moon is hanging high.
General's Mansion.
Xi Aotian's study.
"You don't have to look at me. It's a big deal. I won't tell you."
Sitting on the pear blossom tree, Xi Aotian looked at Xi Xinmao, who had been lying here, and made a final decision. When Xi Xinmao stepped into this study for the first time since her father came back, he repeated tirelessly.
What he said is not tired. She is quite tired to listen to it. Is her performance so obvious?
"My ears are about to be cocoon," he said, "Which ear heard me asking you to tell me about the little thing between you and the emperor?"
She shrugged her shoulders like a scoundrel and picked up a strand of hair on her chest to find a fork from it. It seemed that it had attracted all her attention, but what she said was not like that.
"Old man, the emperors and soldiers have always been involved in this relationship. Although I don't go deep, it doesn't mean that I don't understand. The situation is chaotic. Do you think I really don't know that Emperor Qi came back to the palace to suppress the many forces that are ready to move? Do you think I really don't know that it involves not only the power struggle between the prince and the seven princes, but also the whole court? I understand the truth of pulling a hair and moving the whole body. You'd better put it away as soon as possible. I have my own way to find out what I want to know.
"Hmm," obviously don't eat her way, "Wo girl, what do you know? You know that the power of heaven is unpredictable, but don't you let your own nature come? The anger of Longyan in the past few months almost caused the disaster of killing. Do you think I don't know?
It's okay not to say it. Xi Aotian is really angry when he says it. This girl has a stubborn temper like something. It's okay to be arrogant in the house. Unexpectedly, she doesn't even pay attention to the current emperor. What kind of 'blood washing palace' is this what a minister's daughter should say?
Fortunately, the emperor has many concerns, otherwise what will happen if the whole house waits for the whole house?
She stared at Xi Xinmiao with an angry face, but when she looked at it, the images in her slightly chaotic eyes overlapped again. This is her daughter!
"Daughter, I'm old," Xi Aotian sighed for a long time, mixed with too much vicissitudes and helplessness. "I know that you have a gap in your heart that is insurmountable to the world. This pride is appreciated by my father, but at the same time, I am also worried that your temperament is ultimately difficult to tolerate the world under the rule of an emperor. . "
Xi Xinmiao finally stopped the work in her hand and looked at the old sound source. After a few months, the temples on his ears were as silvery as frost, which was wider than the last time. The cold and hard face showed deep marks of the years, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes somehow climbed up again. The sharp eyes like eagles on the battlefield are now full of love and worry that only a father has when they look at themselves.
I didn't feel much in my heart. She called him an old man for so many years, but she didn't know that the old man was really old. Now she suddenly looked at him and felt that the years were like the wind.
Time flies ruthlessly, but it is also fair. At least, because of the passage of time, her father understands her pride, her principles, her...
"Dad, I understand what you said, and I know your worries." Xi Xinmiao slowly exhaled, looked at it equally, and did not dodge. That was to throw away the equality outside the generation. The two people did not feel anything wrong.
"Don't worry, I won't risk what I'm not sure about, and I won't let the whole house be in danger because of me. It's just that this change is different from my last time. Emperor Qi was ordered by you to be in danger. Your appearance can indeed deter the forces hidden in the dark and suppress the temporary **. However, have you ever thought that Emperor Qi's practice also pushed you to the forefront of the storm. If you are a little carelessly waiting for you, it will be doomed. The king's heart is unpredictable, and Emperor Qi is even more capricious. He disparages the front and recalls the back. I don't believe you won't understand the intention.
The dark pupils shine with insight. Once you are outside the world from the perspective of an outsider, in fact, everything is very simple. How can you not see clearly?
"Hey----"
Hearing his daughter's analysis, Xi Aotian seemed to suddenly collapse, with indescribable fatigue and obscure sadness on his face.
He doesn't understand that the emperor has been disliking him for a long time. On the surface, he is still the favorite minister in the court, but who knows that the distance between him and the emperor has gradually faded away.
He is no longer an emperor full of lofty ambition at the beginning, but with the passage of time, the emperor has gradually become a deep and suspicious emperor. Up to now, he has really become a lonely family!
Such a change is expected normal development, but it is unexpectedly sentimental. Thinking that when he was young, Xi Aotian helped him make great achievements, galloping on the battlefield and serving the country with loyalty, he was placed in an embarrassing position by his own monarch. Why doesn't it make people feel desolate and sad?
But girl, you still don't understand. There are some things, some pursuits, some beliefs, and you can't give up because of an emperor's behavior!
Closing his eyes, his eyelids trembled violently, as if he was fighting fiercely. Finally, when he opened his eyes, it was the mood that had been cleaned up, and the pain that could not be hidden in any case.
Xi Aotian loosened his white fist and looked a little haggard after a fierce inner struggle. "I will always be the general of Daqi, which can never be changed, and I will always be loyal to my country and Daqi. Now that the situation is turbulent and needs me, how can I retreat?
"Well, this is your choice. I won't interfere. Just bear all the consequences by yourself."
Xi Xinmiao knew that it was useless to say more. She bent the corners of her mouth and laughed at herself. Don't do to others what she doesn't want. She hopes that the old man can retreat bravely in this turbulence according to her wishes and withdraw decisively, but this is also her wishful thinking after all.
Obviously, the old man is unwilling, very unwilling, and very unwilling. He said that he was loyal to the country and Daqi. She can't stop this sense of mission. She knew that what he said meant was that he had been disappointed with Emperor Qi, but that did not mean that he was disappointed with the whole Daqi. Emperor Qi was Emperor Qi, but Daqi was Daqi, which could not be compared.
She knows and understands. Well, it's up to him. At worst, you have to spend more effort to protect her stubborn old man. Who calls him an old man, her old man!
Xi Xinmiao is also a straightforward person. It is almost impossible to want her to repeat it again after a dissuasion. In her opinion, she will persuade, but she will not force it. Everyone has their own ideas and choices, just as she doesn't like others to interfere in her own affairs. For others, she can always put herself in her shoes. It is in this way that she can be so rational and calm. Even in the eyes of outsiders, it is a kind of cold-blooded, ruthless and cruel.
But who cares! She has always had a clear conscience and never needs to explain anything to anyone.
"The bright gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent. When you really can't stand it, just recognize the old," Xi Xinmiao got up and twisted his waist, and his posture was lazy and casual. He stopped at the door, looked at the deep night outside and took the corners of his mouth. "Because, in addition to your daughter of Xi Aotian, Xi Xinmiao is also a strong person who can support the whole sky! " Stepping on the frost and moon on the ground, she left such words to the old man in the house before leaving.
Xi Aotian repeatedly meditated on her words, smiled, swept away the depression and sadness just now, and suddenly became cheerful. His eyes stayed on the door, with relief and pride in his eyes, "Of course I know that you are not a weak person, never." His eyes were empty and he muttered, "Shua, this is our daughter. Did you see it in the sky?"
In the sky, the moon is thick...
The Seventh Prince's Mansion.
It is said that Qi Che received the creed of a mysterious man in black that day and tracked it out, but in the end he escaped by him. Something was strange, and now he refocused on the content brought by the note.
"The official way hides people's eyes, and the Lord is alone."
He half closed his eyes and guessed the meaning of these ten words. The first half of the sentence is easy to understand. It means that Qi Jingxun's election of officials should be a blindfolding. In fact, I'm afraid that the golden cicada has already come out of its shell, but the following sentence should be where he is, no one? Is there a place? Or does it represent a place name at all?
He just looked through the map. There is no place called no one at all, or the situation is wrong. He can't tell whether this mysterious person is an enemy or a friend now. How can he conclude that he must have helped himself? Maybe this is a scam in itself?
His index finger knocked on the table in a hurry. "No---man--, no---man-man-" He said very slowly. When he opened his eyes, a white light flashed in his mind like lightning. He suddenly got up and approached the table with the map spreading the map again, searching for the word that flashed in his mind.
That's right, it's true! Looking at a place located in the northwest of Lizhende Town, the three words "Wuhui Town" came into his eyes. He had accidentally heard the deeds of Wuhui Town before. He knew that it had another name earlier, which was called No Man's Town. Time passed. This almost dusty memory was almost erased by him, but now he suddenly remembered, how Don't make him happy?
But immediately, the joy in Qi Che's eyes was instantly replaced by doubt: as he had just guessed, he did not know the identity of the mysterious man, let alone his real intention. No matter what his purpose was, Qi Che could not be prevented. If you really help, why don't you show your true face? If you have ulterior motives, I'm afraid the consequences will be more serious.
For a moment, he hesitated and looked at the three words on the map, and his eyes looked more unpredictable...
