A thick haze appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes. Even though he tried his best to suppress and conceal it, he couldn't even hide it from Lin Jingchen, let alone Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, held Xiao Yi's hand instead, and tried to tell him with the temperature of her palm that she was fine and she was beside him.
Looking at this pair of golden boys and jade girls, Lin Jingchen sighed a bit. Of course, he knew Xiao Yi's behavior outside. It is impossible to hold down such a tiger and wolf division as the Southern Border Army. But in front of his granddaughter Nangong Yue, he looked quite different, and Lin Jingchen couldn't help feeling that it was probably fate.
If he hadn't met Yue'er, what would A Yi have become? !
Xiao Yi looked deeply at Nangong Yue for a while, and gradually, his eyes finally began to settle down, and he became the usual Xiao Yi again.
Xiao Yi looked at Lin Jingchen again, and asked solemnly: "Grandfather, how should I take care of Ah Yue?"
The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, and she had an ominous premonition: A Yi, he wouldn't want to serve her personally for three days, would he
Lin Jingchen looked at his granddaughter desperately winking at him with some amusement, and told the truth about Nangong Yue's situation, and also said some precautions for pregnancy.
Xiao Yi listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, looking at his seriousness, he really wanted to take a pen to write it down, and the eyes of the two old people were full of smiles.
Nangong Yue had no choice but to think about waiting for the two grandfathers to leave before she could talk to Xiao Yi... cough, "reasonable". If Xiao Yi used the skill of pressing and marking people, she would have nothing to do.
After Lin Jingchen finished speaking, Xiao Yi stood up and said, "Grandfathers, I still have some things to deal with..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Master Fang waved his hand and said, "Ah Yi, you can go. We two old bones will help you watch Ah Yue."
"Ah Yue, I'll be back as soon as I go." Xiao Yi smiled at Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue realized something instantly, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly grabbed Xiao Yi.
"Ayi, Xiao Ying and Xiao An have been following me for several years, and I'm used to them..." The implication is that they naturally don't want to change the hidden guards.
For such a trivial matter, Xiao Yi naturally would not go against Nangong Yue's intentions, and responded with a smile, thinking: Two hidden guards are not enough, so just add more people. What's more, Ah Yue only knows a little bit of boxing skills with that flower, but it seems that it is still not enough... I should prepare earlier. And their daughter...
Xiao Yi went out calmly, Xiao Ying and Xiao An naturally still knelt in the same place, watching Xiao Yi approaching them step by step...
"Tell me what happened just now." Xiao Yi said coldly.
Xiao Ying clasped his fists together, and told the whole story about the sudden two ownerless horses galloping in fright on the street just now, which naturally included the fact that he let the black horse escape by mistake...
A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he said, "Go down and receive the punishment yourself."
Hearing this, both Xiao Ying and Xiao An breathed a sigh of relief, this was already the lightest punishment. The two hurriedly clasped their fists in response, knowing in their hearts that the concubine Shizi might have confessed their love to them, otherwise...
Xiao Ying and Xiao An withdrew, Xiao Yi gave Zhu Zi a word, and then went to the study in the outer courtyard. After a while, Zhu Zi came with Zhu Xing.
"My lord," Zhu Xing said respectfully, cupping his fists, "I checked just now. Both horses have wounds on their buttocks, which are knife wounds..."
The two horses were brought under control as soon as they hit the carriage and brought back to Bixiaotang.
Since they had injuries, it was obvious that someone did it on purpose.
"Continue to investigate." Xiao Yi only gave three words.
Three words are enough, Zhu Xing responded with a loud voice, and retreated under the command, with flames burning in his sharp eyes. Whoever dares to attack the concubine and future grandchildren will have trouble with the entire Bixiaotang!
After dealing with these trivial matters, Xiao Yi went back to his and Nangong Yue's yard. Seeing him coming back, the two old people politely said goodbye and said they would visit again tomorrow. Baihui and Que'er hurriedly saw each other off.
Nangong Yue in the inner room happened to be drinking the soup prepared by Ying'er. Seeing Xiao Yi's return, she almost couldn't wait to finish the last two mouthfuls of the soup, fearing that Xiao Yi would come to serve her on a whim.
Ying'er took away the empty bowl, Nangong Yue met Xiao Yi's half-smiling eyes, and tried her best to hide her guilty conscience.
Fortunately, at this time, Huamei brought over hot food, fish porridge and several baskets of steamed dumplings, and the enticing aroma permeated the air.
Nangong Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted Xiao Yi, "Ah Yi, you haven't had dinner yet, why don't you eat some with me."
Huamei immediately backed out tactfully, and with the Elder Master here, naturally it would not be their turn.
Xiao Yi sat down on the side of the bed, picked up a bowl of porridge with fish slices, and then he took a spoon to scoop up the porridge and brought it to her mouth, looking at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to say, I would feed you porridge too. the same.
Nangong Yue could only open her mouth helplessly, and then her eyes lit up. The delicious porridge was delicious, without any smell of fish fillets. She was already hungry, but her appetite suddenly became better.
Then, Xiao Yi scooped another spoonful for himself to eat, and then scooped another spoonful of porridge into Nangong Yue's mouth, one spoonful for you, one spoonful for me...the two quickly finished a bowl of porridge.
Although the porridge is delicious, Nangong Yue is really uncomfortable being served by Xiao Yi like this. Unfortunately, Xiao Yi obviously does not intend to let her go so easily, and then picks up a steamed dumpling with chopsticks and delivers it to her mouth Side by side, one after another, Nangong Yue was ninety percent full if she was not careful.
She wanted to say that she was full, but Xiao Yi turned a deaf ear to it, and brought another steamed dumpling to her mouth, persuading her, "Eat another one."
He really fed himself like a pig! Nangong Yue gave him a weak look.
how could be? ! Xiao Yi blinked his coquettish peach blossom eyes, extremely innocent, and silently said with his eyes that he and their little girl had a good understanding, but he just felt that she must not have had enough.
Every time she confronted Xiao Yi's fallacies, Nangong Yue could only surrender, and opened her mouth helplessly...
At this time, there was a rustling sound of curtains, and Huamei came in with a red lacquered wooden tray, on which was steaming hot tea, just in time to see the eldest son feeding the imperial concubine to eat steamed dumplings...
The concubine Shizi usually looks gentle and prudent, but now her eyes are wide open and she is being fed by the prince, which is really childish. Thrush couldn't help but startled, followed by the corners of his mouth slightly curved, his eyes filled with a smile.
She continued to move forward calmly, and after serving hot tea, she backed away as if nothing had happened.
The inner room fell silent, only the sound of door curtains swaying, strings of crystal beads colliding with each other...
Nangong Yue's small face was stained with a peach blossom-like blush, and she glared at Xiao Yi again, as if to say, it's all your fault!
What about being seen? Xiao Yi didn't care about it in his heart, he and Ah Yue could do whatever they wanted, why did they keep their hands tied for the sake of those mere outsiders, but changed the subject in a witty way: "Ah Yue, you should rest..."
Nangong Yue drank the soup and ate something just now, and now the effect of the medicine has also improved. She yawned lazily, and lay down under Xiao Yi's service, but after a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yi looked at her sleeping face quietly, without blinking, time seemed to stand still at this moment...
This night passed quickly, and the next day, the sky turned pale, and Xiao Yi had already got up. He did not go to the martial arts arena as usual, but sat in the inner room with Nangong Yue who was still sleeping. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and in the next moment, he heard a soft and subtle sound of raising the curtain, Baihui walked over lightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is a result from Steward Zhu..."
They all knew exactly what had happened.
Xiao Yi nodded slightly, and ordered in a low voice: "You stay here and watch."
Baihui responded with a respectful voice, Xiao Yi adjusted his robe casually and strode out, his slightly messy black hair showing unruly.
The radiance of dawn softly sprinkled on Xiao Yi's body, coating him with a faint golden halo.
Zhu Xing was waiting for Xiao Yi at the door of the outer study, and from a distance, he saw Xiao Yi walking towards this side, his steps were leisurely but firm.
"My lord." Zhu Xing saluted respectfully with his fists clasped.
He is a martial arts practitioner, although he has not slept all night, he is still full of energy, and hastily reported his results of the night one by one.
The only clue in their hands was the horse, so Zhu Xing naturally started with the horse, and soon found out that the two horses were just sold at the horse market outside the city the day before yesterday. When the horse dealer heard that the horse he sold had caused a catastrophe, he was so frightened that he almost poked his head away, so naturally he knew everything and answered everything in detail. Zhu Xing and the others followed the clues to find out the man who bought the horse, and finally tracked down the clues to find the main messenger.
This man is—
"Meng Tingjian." Zhu Xing said through gritted teeth.
The name Meng Tingjian is no stranger to Xiao Yi. This person is the eldest son of Meng Yiliang, who once held the rank of commander-in-chief of a sixth-rank battalion in the army. Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils shone with an icy cold light, which made people shudder.
At this moment, Zhu Xing felt a little "sympathetic" to Meng Tingjian. Originally, Shi Ziye didn't intend to exterminate the Meng family, but this person wanted to seek death.
Zhu Xing continued to report: "After Meng Yiliang was beheaded in Nanliang, all members of the Meng family were dismissed from all military posts. The subordinates guessed that Meng Tingjian was unwilling, but they couldn't find a chance to attack the prince. That's why I'm looking for the crown prince to vent my anger."
Meng Tingjian was careful in his work, he deliberately went around a few times, and even sent the person who worked for him out of the city, thinking that he could deceive the world, but it's a pity that the devil is one foot tall, and the road is one foot high! Besides, Luoyue City is the territory of the Shizi, if these despicable people are allowed to get away with it, they can also commit suicide and apologize.
Xiao Yi sneered, and ordered: "Take this person down immediately for my son, and interrogate him!" He insisted on finding out whether it was Meng Tingjian who did it alone or in collusion with others.
The Meng family has a special status in the southern border army, Zhu Xing didn't dare to act rashly, now that he got Xiao Yi's order, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Yes, my lord."
He was about to retreat, when he heard a mess of footsteps outside the study, Zhuzhu hurried in with a man with a mustache and the appearance of a guard.
At this time, the sun was already rising in the eastern sky, and the sky was completely bright.
"Master!" the guard with the moustache clasped his fists panting, "Old General Meng...Meng Yiliang's son Meng Tingjian suddenly ran to the gate of the palace just now and stopped the prince's horse..."
Hearing this, Zhu Xing couldn't hide his shock, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he thought: What kind of tricks does this Meng Tingjian want to play? !
But Xiao Yi smiled with his lips curled up instead, and interest and anticipation flashed in those peach blossom eyes.
"Go outside and have a look, come in and report something." Xiao Yi said indifferently, the bearded guard was shocked when he heard it, he thought that the elder son would definitely rush to check the situation outside the mansion immediately, but he did not expect the elder son to be so calm Hold on.
Yes, this is the son of the world! What a big scene I haven't seen! The mustache guard looked at Xiao Yi reverently, immediately embraced his orders, and hurried away again.
At this moment, the main entrance of the palace is really busier than the vegetable market. There are a lot of people passing by to watch the excitement. At a glance, there are crowds of people.
In the center of the crowd, there was a man in Tsing Yi kneeling in his thirties. He had an unshaven face with Chinese characters, and there was a heavy shadow under his eyes, looking haggard and depressed.
The man looked up at King Zhennan who was riding on a horse two or three feet away, and shouted out of righteous indignation: "My lord, in order to fight for the military power, my son forced the veteran of the army to death. My father's bones are not complete. I, Meng Tingjian, a man of seven feet, if I can't To avenge the father's grievances, even if you live in the world, you are still worse than a pig or a dog!"
Zhennan Wang's brows were tightly locked, and the hand holding the horse rope was unconsciously exerting force, and his face was not very good-looking. He felt that he was a majestic Zhennan Wang, and he was like an actor, allowing everyone to watch.
He cleared his throat, and wanted Meng Tingjian to get up first before discussing, but he saw Meng Tingjian walked a few steps on his knees, and shouted again: "Please ask the prince to make decisions for my dead father!"
Seeing this, several palace guards guarding Zhennan King immediately stood in front of the horse, preventing Meng Tingjian from approaching.
The next moment, Meng Tingjian bowed his head and pulled out a dagger from his short boots.
King Zhennan's complexion suddenly darkened, and the guards of the palace drew out their long knives, intending to execute Meng Tingjian on the spot.
But no one expected that Meng Tingjian's dagger was pointed at his own neck, and he looked up to the sky and screamed: "Father, I'm so soft-spoken, I'm afraid I can't avenge you..."
Before he finished speaking, the dagger in his hand had already scratched his neck, and hot blood spurted out from the wound, splashing on the ground, on the threshold of the palace, on the wall...even on the robe of King Zhennan!
At the main entrance of the palace, there was a glaring pool of blood, and Meng Tingjian's dead body was on the spot.
This scene shocked everyone present. After the people who had been whispering and whispering took a breath, they fell silent, and the surrounding area was deathly silent.
Even the bearded guard who was spying on the side felt a little shocking, and his pupils shrank.
Seeing the corpse that was almost all within reach, King Zhennan had twitching veins on his forehead, got off his horse, strode towards the gate of the palace, and at the same time ordered: "Hurry up and call that rebellious son to see this king!"
A guard of the palace tremblingly clasped his fists in response, and soon, the gate of the palace was closed, blocking all prying eyes from the door.
The mustache guard arrived at Xiao Yi's outer study one step faster than Zhennan Wang's men. At this moment, besides Xiao Yi and Zhu Xing, there were two more young people in the study, both of them tall and tall.
Under Zhu Xing's gesture, the mustache guards did not shy away from these two people, and told about Meng Tingjian's suicide just now in a few words. The whole person was still in shock, carefully observing Xiao Yi's expression.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yi, who was sitting behind the desk, still had a calm look, and even smiled more happily than before, as if he had heard some joke.
He pondered for a moment, then said casually: "Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun listens!"
The corners of the two young men's mouths curled up, and they clasped their fists together in response, with expressions of anticipation on their faces.
This time, when Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue left Nanliang, because there were only two people in modest clothes like when they went there, it was inevitable that someone on the road would startle Nangong Yue. Xi and Yan Xijun came here on purpose to report to Xiao Yi and return to Nanliang.
There is a saying that it is better to come early than coincidentally. They are lucky, and they also picked up another errand by the way.
A gleam flashed in Chang Huaixi's eyes, and he thought: If Yu Xiufan knows, I'm afraid he will be envious.
Xiao Yi immediately ordered: "You two take people from the Xinrui Camp to copy the Meng family to my son!"
"Yes, Shizi." The two young men answered sonorously.
After Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun walked out of the study, Zhuzi, who was guarding outside, let the guards sent by Zhennan King go in to spread the word.
Nowadays, no one in the palace knows the majesty of the son. There is a saying that when gods fight, mortals suffer. The father and son were fighting each other, and it would be their servants who would be unlucky. The guard was a little apprehensive, and carefully worded the matter that King Zhennan wanted to see Xiao Yi.
Next, just wait with bated breath.
Xiao Yi stood up, dusted off his robe, and said, "Lead the way ahead."
Hearing this, the guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed to lead the way, and led Xiao Yi to Zhennan King's outer study.
Zhennan Wang couldn't wait to change into a clean robe, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
He waited and waited, only to see that Xiao Yi had been late, and his burning heart seemed to be poured into a barrel of oil, and it was blazing. He directly asked angrily, "Nizi, what about Meng Yiliang?" What can I say?!"
Xiao Yi turned a deaf ear to it, first bowed to King Zhennan as if nothing had happened, raised his brows, and said, "What Meng Yiliang?"
This rebel still pretends to be? ! King Zhennan almost couldn't catch his breath, and his voice was raised even higher: "You still want to play dumb?! Meng Yiliang is a veteran who fought in the army when your grandfather was. What serious crime did he commit? Do you insist on killing him?" Beheaded on the spot?"
Zhennan Wang narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yi. When Xiao Yi ordered Meng Yiliang to be beheaded and took away all the military positions of the Meng family, he never knew about his father. This inverse generally cares about.
But now, Meng Tingjian's accusation before his death made Zhennan Wang feel sorry for him. That's right, Meng Yi is the person my father used in the past, so how can I kill him right away? Or, collaborating with the enemy is just an excuse for this rebellious son, and he really wants to seize power
"Oh. It turned out to be that Meng Yiliang." Xiao Yi acted like he had suddenly realized, "Meng Yiliang deserved his own fault and deserved it. My father doesn't need to care about it."
Things have become like this, and this Nizi still wants to get away with it lightly? The King of Zhennan was even more angry, and said again: "Nizi, do you know that Meng Tingjian, the son of Meng Yiliang, committed suicide at the gate of the palace just now! Now I am afraid that the whole Luoyue City knows that you, the son of the Prince of Zhennan, cruelly forced the veteran to death. Where is the face?"
The face of the palace? I'm afraid it's the face of the king of Zhennan, right? The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth curled up in a half-smile, and he said casually: "If you know it, you know it. Is it possible that our Zhennan Palace still depends on other people's faces to live?"
As he said that, Xiao Yi smiled, and deliberately persuaded him in a good voice: "Father, your wedding is approaching, so prepare well for the big wedding. I won't bother the father to intervene in these trivial matters, just leave it to my son."
After finishing his words, he turned around and left without waiting for King Zhennan to react.
"Inverse... you..."
King Zhennan was trembling with anger, unable to utter a complete sentence for a while, and smashed a cup severely.
Kikyo, who was serving at the side, half bowed his head, silent like a cicada.
King Zhennan walked back and forth in the study, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he went to the courtyard of Concubine Wei.
Wei Shi has always been good at observing words and expressions, and she could tell at a glance that King Zhennan's complexion was not good. She saluted King Zhennan generously, served him tea herself, and then asked softly, "My lord, who is it?" Made you angry?"
"It's not that rebellious son..." Zhennan Wang was so angry that he recounted Xiao Yi's various crimes, and his heart became more and more angry.
Wei Shi listened with lowered eyebrows, deeply moved in his heart: This father and son seem to be enemies in the previous life, no matter what happens, it may ignite the flames of war between father and son... If it hadn't been for the concubine to ease it over the past few years, I am afraid that several father-son battles have already broken out in the palace.
Wei Shi listened patiently to King Zhennan's words, and then softly comforted him: "My lord, calm down, what happened to the concubine yesterday, it's no wonder that the lord is in a bad mood."
King Zhennan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Shi Zifei? What happened to Shi Zifei?"
Mrs. Wei roughly explained how Nangong Yue went to Mingqing Temple to pick up Xiao Fei yesterday evening, and the carriage was hit by a frightened horse not far from the palace, including Xiao Fei protecting Nangong Yue with her body. , his cheek was accidentally scratched by a wooden thorn... Hearing all kinds of thrills, King Zhennan's heart sank: The concubine is still pregnant with her eldest grandson!
"How is the concubine?" Zhennan Wang hurriedly asked worriedly, "Why did no one come to report such a big matter to the king?"
Wei hurriedly said again: "The concubine Shizi was a little surprised, and her fetus moved, but fortunately, the concubine's grandfather, the old doctor Lin, happened to be in Bixiaotang, and prescribed anti-fetal medicine for the concubine Shizi, and healed the eldest girl's face. Injury, the crown prince and the eldest girl are fine for the time being, but they still need to rest carefully."
Only then did King Zhennan feel relieved, as long as Shi Zifei and his grandson are fine.
Seeing that King Zhennan's anger had eased a lot, Wei continued: "My concubine sees that my son acts like a prince, and he has always had rules. Since my son killed old General Meng, there must be evidence for it. I will act like this." Moreover, Meng Tingjian ran to the gate of the palace to make trouble today just after the concubine had an accident yesterday, which is really too coincidental...
Although Wei Shi had doubts in his heart, he would not easily tell King Zhennan these unsubstantiated guesses.
The king of Zhennan was still a little bit angry, and he muttered: "You son of a bitch, you keep everything from this king! Could this king still harm him?"
These words are a bit embarrassing. Wei Shi lowered his eyes, as if he didn't hear.
She gathered herself together, smiled and persuaded: "My lord, in fact, this is also good. The son of the old general Meng will first come forward. If the son of the son really made a mistake, then the prince can still come forward to deal with it. As for chilling the hearts of those veterans. But if the son of the world did not make a mistake, then he should not hurt the relationship between father and son because of this matter... "
Wei's words made sense, which made Zhennan Wang feel very ironic, his face softened a little, but he still sighed: "This rebellious son is reckless in doing things, and I always want this king to clean up the mess for him. Hey, this young man People are still young and vigorous, and they don't know how to think twice before acting!"
Wei covered his mouth with a smile, and interfaced gracefully: "My lord, my son is not as weak as the crown, so naturally there are many things that are not well thought out, it's all up to you, my lord... When the grandson is born in the future, the son will naturally know how to be a parent." It's not easy."
Thinking of his eldest grandson who will be born in the next year, King Zhennan stroked his beard, finally showing off his face.
While King Zhennan was complaining to Wei Shi, Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun had already led 300 elite soldiers to the Meng Mansion, and surrounded the Meng Mansion with lightning speed, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
Amidst the din of crying and shouting, Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun entered the Meng Mansion with half of their staff, seized them, and searched them... Well-trained in their sharpness, they took control of the situation all at once...
An hour later, Yan Xijun left the Meng Mansion first, and hurried back to Bixiao Hall to seek Xiao Yi's return.
"My lord, seventy-eight men, women and children from the whole family of the Meng Mansion have been taken down, and none escaped." Yan Xijun stood in front of the desk and said loudly, "General Chang Bai is leading people to search the Meng Mansion..."
Just as he was reporting, Zhuzi walked in through the curtain and said, "My lord, Old General Tian is here."
Xiao Yi gestured to Zhuzi to let Tian He in, and Yan Xijun immediately withdrew.
Tian He, who was dressed in armor, quickly entered the study with brisk strides, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed worried in his description.
After Tian He saluted Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi asked him to sit down, and ordered Zhuzi to serve tea.
Tian He picked up the teacup and put it down again, really not in the mood to drink tea.
Meng Yiliang was beheaded, Meng Tingjian committed suicide by drinking a sword, and the Meng family was ransacked again. The series of events of the Meng family are now spreading in the Southern Border Army and in Luoyue City...
The more Tian He thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he came here specially to persuade Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi never liked to go around in circles, so he pointed out Tian He's intentions directly: "You want to 'plead' for the Meng family?"
"My lord," Tian He clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Meng Yiliang has already put down the law, and Meng Tingjian is also to blame... I think it is better to carefully consider how to deal with the rest of the Meng family."
When Tian He learned that Meng Tingjian dared to take action against the concubine, he was also furious, but Meng Tingjian had already killed himself, and Xiao Yi, as the commander of the first army, should take care of the overall situation.
Seeing Xiao Yi drooping his eyes and remaining silent, Tian He analyzed carefully: "My lord, Meng Yiliang has been in the army for decades, and he is also quite prestigious. That day, my lord killed him in the name of collaborating with the enemy, and took all the Meng family's possessions. Although no one in the military dares to question your decision in person, there are quite a few people who discuss it privately. Moreover, in the past few years, the prince has promoted many young generals, and those old generals will inevitably have their day. The sense of crisis of the emperor and the courtiers... The matter of Meng Yiliang has already made them panic, and some people even suspect that you are going to make an example. If this continues, the army will be unstable... "
Xiao Yi raised his hand, signaling Tian He not to continue.
He leaned on the back of the chair casually, with a little laziness in his leisurely manner, and said: "I have my own discretion in this matter."
However, Tian He knew that Xiao Yi was unhappy. After pondering for a while, he said again: "Master, why don't you wait for a while, wait until the wind has passed, and then find someone to fall into the Meng family by your hair. Don't be at this critical moment..."
Meng Yiliang's body was still cold, and his son committed suicide by calling for injustice. At this time, the Meng family was ransacked, and outsiders would inevitably speculate whether the elder son was waiting for an opportunity to liquidate. Tian He was afraid that Xiao Yi's reputation would be ruined.
Meeting Tian He's worried eyes, Xiao Yi felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. His father didn't know the ins and outs, so he kept scolding some rebellious son, but it was no match for outsiders who were really worried about him...
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi became more patient, interrupted Tian He and said, "Old General Tian, do you know why Meng Tingjian arranged for a startled horse to hit the carriage of the Crown Princess?"
Tian He was startled, and suddenly thought that the son and the concubine had always been deeply in love, and now that the concubine was pregnant with a future grandson, it was no wonder that the master could not let go of what the Meng family had done.
Tian He thought about it for a while, and replied: "Perhaps Meng Tingjian was aggrieved by his father's death and wanted to vent his anger, so he had the evil intention to attack the concubine. Fortunately, the concubine is lucky..." Speaking of which, Tian He He was also a bit afraid, the son and the concubine had been married for many years, and it was hard to get good news. He could understand the anger of the son, but the timing was not right now!
Tian He sighed, and wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Yi got ahead of him, and he sneered, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth: "If he can't vent his anger, he will run to the gate of the palace to find his father." Calling for injustice, but also drinking the sword to kill himself?! Really brave!" He clapped his hands slowly twice.
The irony in Xiao Yi's words was beyond words, Tian He couldn't hear it, but he didn't understand what Xiao Yi meant.
Xiao Yi continued on his own: "I remember that Meng Tingjian was the head of the battalion before, right?"
Tian He was even more puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Exactly."
"Ying Qian is only a sixth rank. Compared with Meng Yiliang, his son seems not very promising." Xiao Yi said meaningfully.
Like the Meng family, the Tian family and the Yao family, generals who have held important positions in the army since the old town of Nanwang, in the Southern Xinjiang army, they say a lot, and they say a lot. They have the shadow of their parents. Naturally, his development in the army was much smoother than others, but Meng Tingjian, who was in his thirties, was only a sixth-rank battalion chief, which showed that he was ineffective.
Tian He had also secretly expressed emotion to his old wife before that the Meng family was afraid that there would be no successors... Wait! What did Tian He think of? Meng Tingjian was also considered to have grown up under his watch. With his cowardly and fearful personality, can he have the courage to look at death like home
Seeing that Tian He was thinking, Xiao Yi said directly: "My son thinks that Meng Tingjian must be instigated by someone."
really! Tian He's heart tightened, and a tangle flashed in his sharp eyes. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, even if there is someone to make an envoy, Meng Tingjian is already dead."
Now it is tantamount to death without proof.
There was an almost cruel smile on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth, and he said indifferently: "Meng Tingjian died, and there are so many members of the Meng family. Don't think that you can kill a hundred if you give up Meng Tingjian's life. They dare to plot against the concubine, He must have prepared himself to die."
This time, Xiao Yi had already given up his words.
"..." Tian He's mouth moved, and he couldn't speak anymore.
The son of the world is perverse, and once he has made up his mind, it is not easy to be persuaded.
Given the importance that Shi Ziye attaches to Shi Zifei, he might really want to kill this time.
Tian He sighed secretly, since he couldn't persuade Shi Ziye, if someone in the army really caused trouble, he could only help out first...
Tian He made up his mind, so he stopped talking and got up to leave.
When he walked out of the study room, he found that the sky outside had changed at some point. It was still under the scorching sun, but now it was covered with dark clouds, piled up in layers on the sky, rumbling, bursts of muffled thunder sounded, and lightning flashed endlessly in the dark clouds. A summer thunderstorm seems to be coming...
This Luoyue city might not be peaceful in the future.
The pace under Tian He's feet stagnated for a moment, and he strode away...
As soon as Tian He left, Xiao Yi issued a military order:
Meng Yiliang colluded with the enemy and judged the country, and his crime should be punished. The entire Meng family took him into custody and searched.
As soon as the military order was issued, a group of soldiers from the Southern Border Army rushed to the Meng Mansion, and affixed a seal to the entire Meng Mansion. The blood-colored cinnabar seal on the seal was shocking...
Not only that, Xiao Yi also ordered people to investigate all the mansions that had good relations with the Meng family.
Naturally, most of those who can make friends with the Meng family are generals in the southern border army. For a while, the veterans in the army were all in danger.
However, in the past few years, Xiao Yi has won consecutive battles, and his popularity in the army has even faintly surpassed that of King Zhennan. ", without mercy.
After a veteran who led his troops to ask for orders was dealt with by the military law, the other veterans did not dare to act rashly. Mutiny is the most taboo in the army. With the temperament of the son, I am afraid that if they dare to mutiny, the son will kill them !
After discussing in secret, the veterans finally went to Tian Mansion to meet Tian He together. These people have all been colleagues for decades, and they don’t talk in a devious way. One of the veterans with gray hair and beard said straight to the point: "Old Tian, you have always been highly valued by the son of the son, and you also said to the son of the elder If you can talk, why don't you try to persuade Shizi this time..."
"Lao Li, Lao Wei, the old district..." Tian He could only persuade him politely, "You must have understood how the son behaves in the past few years. The son will not easily wrong the innocent. If you have a clear conscience, let the son find out. That's right."
Tian He felt helpless: he could persuade him a long time ago, but Shi Ziye has his own opinions, which he can't shake at all.
Perhaps, as the old wife said, the only person in this world who can persuade the eldest son is the imperial concubine. It's a pity that the concubine Shizi recently didn't see any guests in order to raise her baby.
Tian He sighed inwardly.
Xiao Yi was also well aware of the little tricks of these veterans behind the scenes, but he turned a blind eye to them. He didn't care what they thought at all.
When he had nothing at the beginning, he was able to conquer his own piece of the world in southern Xinjiang. Now that he wants military power, military power, and military prestige, he is afraid that these veterans who are moaning without illness will make trouble!
Sitting by the window of the study, Xiao Yi looked up at the northern sky, and a flash of determination flashed in his pupils. It was a firm will, a firm and unshakable will.
He, Xiao Yi, is not His Majesty the Emperor who was forced by his courtiers to the point where he dared not stand up as a crown prince!
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he looked in the direction of the door curtain. The next moment, he saw Zhu Xing coming in through the curtain, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
"My lord," Zhu Xing clasped his fists eagerly and said, "Meng Tingjian is awake, can my lord go to see him?"
Xiao Yi only gave one word lightly: "Judgment!"
Xiao Yi leaned leisurely by the window, the corners of his lips curled up, and his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes revealed an icy chill.
It's not that easy to want to die!
Raising the dead and leaving the flesh and bones...
It also depends on whether his grandfather, the number one genius doctor in the world, agrees with him to see the King of Hades!
