Xie Shenyan looked confused and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
After resigning as the eunuch, he went around in a big circle before returning to the imperial study room.
On this day, Xie Shenyan stayed in the imperial study room for half a day. When he went out, his face looked a little heavy, as if he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Someone was waiting at the door. When he saw him coming out, he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, sir. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't worry too much."
Xie Shenyan raised his head following the sound and asked in surprise, "Respect the king?" He then realized and sighed, "That's what I said, but in the end -"
When he said this, he didn't dare to say any more. He just smiled bitterly and said, "That's all, it's all fate." Then he changed his words and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Junxi smiled and said, "I'm waiting for your gratitude."
As soon as he said this, Xie Shenyan knew what was going on in the imperial study, and Xiao Junxi knew it, and his recommendation to the court was probably under the instruction of Emperor Jing.
Xie Shenyan had a solemn expression and said seriously, "Don't worry, King, I will do my best." After saying that, he cupped his hands again and walked towards the palace gate.
However, Xiao Junxi looked helpless behind him and murmured to herself, "He is really loyal, but why is he so old-fashioned? Fortunately, Zhuo'er doesn't follow him."
After returning to Xie's house, the first thing Xie Shenyan did was to go to Ning Xi Hall.
Xie Ruzhuo was playing chess with Xie Shengli, and when the fight was reaching its climax, he saw Xie Shenyan walking in with a solemn look on his face.
Before the chess pieces fell from Xie Shengli's hand, he raised his head and asked, "What happened?"
However, Xie Ruzhuo seemed to have realized it early, his eyes still staring at the chessboard without saying a word.
Xie Shenyan was about to speak when he saw Xie Ruzhuo here and said in a warm voice, "Zhuo'er, I have something important to discuss with your grandfather. You should go back first."
Although his tone of voice was gentle, there was still a hint of anxiety.
Xie Shengli stood up first, threw the chess pieces into the chess box, and said, "Is there anything about the Xie family that I shouldn't let my family know? Tell me, and let Zhuo'er hear it too."
Hearing this, Xie Shenyan stopped talking and recounted what happened in the court one by one. Finally, he said, "Originally, it was not my wish to recommend Huainan to join the army, but after I went to the imperial study, the emperor told me I’m even more worried about the real purpose of letting Huainan go.”
"What purpose?"
Xie Shenyan sighed, and then said slowly, "The emperor suspects that the Shen family and the Yue State are colluding with each other. Huainan went to Huainan obviously to supervise the army, but in fact he was looking for evidence. If there is no abnormality in the Shen family, it's okay. If there is any abnormality, you can kill it first and then report it." "
After saying this, he frowned and said, "The emperor has always been wise. Since he said this, it means that the Shen family must be unclean! Huainan is alone, and Shen Jingxiang currently controls the military power on the border. If any evidence is really found by then, before Huainan does anything, I am afraid that the Shen family will not let Huainan go!"
Although Xie Shenyan was loyal to the emperor, after all, this was his eldest son and the only son he had with his wife. If he said he was not worried, it would be a lie.
Xie Shengli had always known his son's temperament, he was upright and loyal, and he hated playing tricks behind his back, so he never told him the layout all along. After all, the Xie family needs a pure minister, and this person must be Xie Shenyan.
Seeing him saying so much now, although they were all words of worry, he did not say anything to prevent Xie Huainan from going.
Xie Shengli was silent for a while and then said, "Since it is the Holy Father's order, then the Xie family must share the emperor's salary and share the worries for the emperor. Don't worry about it. Let's think of a perfect plan for my father."
Xie Shenyan originally just wanted to say this to Xie Shengli, but when he heard what he said, he felt that it had embarrassed his father. He felt guilty and said, "It's all useless sons who are causing trouble to my father. It's okay to go to Huainan, but you can't do it when you're at the border." Don’t act rashly, wait until we return to Beijing to discuss everything in the long term.”
"I understand what you mean. You can go ahead and let me think about it."
Xie Shengli waved his hand, signaling Xie Shenyan to leave first. After Xie Shenyan informed her of the matter, her heart was a little confused, so she saluted again and then went out.
It wasn't until Xie Shenyan left that Xie Shengli curled his lips and said, "What do you think of Zhuo'er?"
Xie Ruzhuo looked back and chuckled, "Everything is under my grandfather's control. Zhuo'er admires him."
"You girl." Xie Shengli shook his head and smiled, then stopped his smile and said, "But your father is right, it is indeed dangerous to go to Huainan. Do you really think that Shen Jingxiang didn't Kill Huainan on the spot, but transfer the letter to the capital?"
Xie Ruzhuo looked at the bright red sun outside and said with a long look, "Of course he will do this." Because he is the only man in the Shen family who can be considered upright.
It's a pity that even if such a bright person comes out of the Shen family, which is full of dirty water, it won't help. Because no matter how clean he is, he was stained with the blood of the Xie family in his previous life! Therefore, she tried her best to get him dirty!
It is true that the city is broken, and it is also true that the troops retreat hundreds of miles. However, the reason why Shen Jingxiang retreated hundreds of miles after the city was broken was because a plague broke out in Liaocheng. Shen Jingxiang did this in order to protect his soldiers. The Xie family always knew that information came before others, so she knew these things earlier than Emperor Jing.
She just asked the soldiers who delivered the message to confuse some right and wrong.
However, she was a little confused about one thing, "Grandpa, with the strength of the Yue Kingdom, it is not easy to conquer Liaocheng. Don't you think this is a bit strange?"
The Yue soldiers divided into two groups to fight against our country. The main battlefield was in Yecheng, which was a little far away from Liaocheng. King Dingbei led the army here, but the Yue army never dared to take another step forward.
On the Liaocheng side, Shen Jingxiang, recommended by the Shen family, went there. He led an army of 100,000 people, and it was also where King Dingnan's army of 200,000 people was stationed. Although King Dingnan and the Crown Prince are now in the capital, there is no one to lead the army. But Liaocheng shouldn’t have been breached so quickly, right
She always felt that there was something fishy here. Is it possible that the Shen family is really collaborating with the enemy
Xie Shengli's eyes also darkened, and after a while he said, "I'm afraid someone in the army is really causing trouble."
Seeing his grandfather and grandson thinking about being together, Xie Ruzhuo could no longer be happy. As a result, his brother went to the army and really went to the dragon's pond and tiger's den!
Xie Shengli remembered something and called Lin Mu, "Go and ask the young master to come. Just tell him that I have something urgent."
Xie Ruzhuo felt a little frightened when she saw him like this, so she said, "Grandpa, my granddaughter has resigned first." It seemed that she needed to do something to verify the matter.
Xie Shengli nodded, and Xie Ruzhuo left in a hurry. As soon as she returned to the yard, she called Hongrui, changed her clothes, and ran towards the Tianmen helm.
Wen Ruyu was not here, and the person who came out to see her was Feng Ruhong.
As soon as she saw her, Feng Ruhong smiled in surprise, "I heard they came to report that the young sect leader was back, and it turned out to be you." During these days, Wen Ruyu also told her everything about Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi , but Feng Ruhong's favorable impression of Xie Ruzhuo increased a lot.
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and asked with a smile, "Master, where is my master?"
Feng Ruhong blushed at the sound of Master Ma'am. She said a little shyly, "Your master has gone on a long journey. It will probably take some time before he comes back."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately asked, "Where has he gone?"
Feng Ruhong said sadly this time, "He went to visit Senior Sun's grave."
Senior Sun.
"Sun Wuji?"
Xie Ruzhuo didn't know why, but the first thing that came to mind was this person's name. Seeing Feng Ruhong nodding, Xie Ruzhuo asked doubtfully, "Is he dead?"
Looking at Xie Ruzhuo's appearance, Feng Ruhong knew that Wen Ruyu must not have told the two of them the truth of the incident, so she immediately stood up for Sun Wuji and explained the whole story clearly.
At the end, Feng Ruhong said sadly, "Originally I shouldn't say these things, but Senior Sun's life has been too miserable. His beloved died early, and his only son misunderstood his whole life. He exchanged his own life for his son's forgiveness. , but I have already traveled to the west of Hexi."
Xie Ruzhuo didn't know that there were so many things going on here, and he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "Master, he never told me."
She fainted during the blood transfusion that day and had no idea what happened next. It turns out that there is such a big secret behind this blood exchange!
She and Xiao Junxi both owed Wen Ruyu their lives! However, is it more than just one life that can be repaid
Seeing her like this, Feng Ruhong couldn't bear it and said, "The old man said before he died that he hoped to be buried with his wife. A few days ago, your master was not here, so he went to bury my grandson. A few days ago, it was July 15th. , Senior Sun only has one descendant, Brother Wen, so he can only go to the grave, and the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, so it will take some time before he can come back."
Xie Ruzhuo nodded casually, feeling shocked and said, "I understand. When the master comes back, I will come to thank him personally."
She couldn't digest this matter for a while, and she even forgot her original intention when she came. It wasn't until I went to look for Hongrui when I left that I saw her whispering with the old ghost.
Xie Ruzhuo then forced a smile and said with a forced smile, "Hongrui, I'll go back first. You can go back by yourself later."
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Hongrui immediately moved ten feet away from the old ghost and explained hurriedly, "Miss, I, I'll go with you."
At this moment, the old ghost walked towards Xie Ruzhuo. The mask on his face had been taken off. He didn't deliberately hunch over. He actually had red lips and white teeth, and was tall, as good as Wen Ruyu. It's just a little more frail than the latter.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't see the old ghost's true face until now, but looking at Hong Rui's behavior, he must have known it for a long time. She smiled slightly, calmed down, and said, "Old ghost, you've been hiding this from me for long enough."
The old ghost smiled sheepishly, then stopped smiling, and said seriously, "Young Master, the sect master is not here, so why not let your subordinates do what you ordered."
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the purpose of coming. She asked in surprise, "You?" Then she looked at Hong Rui beside her, and she immediately understood who had leaked the secret.
Hongrui smiled sheepishly and said, "Miss, I'm so quick to talk."
The old ghost on the side thought that she didn't trust him, and said quickly, "Young master, don't worry, I was the one who licked the blood from the tip of the sword on the battlefield. I will definitely be able to protect Master Xie after I go. As for other things, although I can't I’m sure, but if the other party makes any changes, it won’t escape my eyes.”
The old ghost is in charge of intelligence, and these things cannot be hidden from him in the first place. Xie Ruzhuo just didn't expect this man to have such thoughts. When he looked at who he was looking at, Xie Ruzhuo also understood.
Sure enough, she is a person with love words. This Hongrui is a silly girl, but silly people are blessed with silly things.
