"What a deep brotherly love." Shen Xihe praised, not knowing whether it was sarcasm, then stood up and left.
She did not stay in the county government office. She turned around and asked people to tidy up the situation. Without notifying Xiao Changyan and others, she took her people back to Wendeng County.
After hearing this, Xiao Changyan said to Xiao Changgeng, "Why are you doing this? This is not your fault."
In this matter, Xiao Changgeng was a victim from the beginning to the end. Now that he has taken all the blame, Your Majesty will definitely not let him off easily.
It would be fine to be radical and reckless under normal circumstances, but this is a time of disaster relief, and they are still thinking of taking all the credit for catching the traitors and forgetting about the people affected by the disaster. They came here to provide disaster relief, and this is putting the cart before the horse and is a crime of dereliction of duty. If things go wrong, they will be stripped of their title like the second one.
"It doesn't matter if I am stripped of my title. I can always earn it back. Fortunately, you and I haven't caused much trouble. Even if His Majesty is angry, he won't punish me severely." Xiao Changgeng was optimistic. "But if His Majesty wants to punish me, my injuries have healed. I can withstand even a hundred or eighty strokes of the cane. Eighth brother, you..."
Xiao Changgeng didn't finish his words, but Xiao Changyan understood. He was different. If the matter happened to him, as the elder brother, he didn't go to seduce Xiao Juesong himself. Even if he said the same thing, it would only make people feel disgusted. He used his younger brother to lure the enemy out of greed for merit, and dared to keep his younger brother missing for more than a month without reporting it. This was not as simple as Xiao Changgeng's crime of being too ambitious.
If it happened to Xiao Changyan, it would be more than just a matter of stripping him of his title.
Xiao Changyan and Xiao Changgeng understood all this, even Xiao Changfeng and Shen Xihe understood it, so Shen Xihe sarcastically said that the brothers were very affectionate. Xiao Changyan looked at Xiao Changgeng sincerely and stretched out his hand: "I accept this kindness from my brother."
Xiao Changgeng also stretched out his hand, clasped his palms together, and clenched his hands tightly.
Shen Xihe returned to his mansion in Wendeng County, and Biyu handed him a wax ball. Shen Xihe squeezed it open, and found the news that Xiao Changfeng had left Beijing. It was handed over by someone Shen Xihe had placed next to Xiao Changfeng. It was a pity that it was a step late, otherwise Xiao Changyan would have died. However, Shen Xihe was already very relieved that he could deliver it here so quickly, and this was probably because Xiao Changyan was not destined to die.
"Don't worry. With Little Twelve by his side in the future, he won't be a threat to anyone." Xiao Huayong stood behind Shen Xihe. He was a head taller than Shen Xihe and could see the news clearly.
"This is God's will. There is no need to rush." Shen Xihe was actually afraid that there was someone around Xiao Changyan who knew strange spiritual arts, so he completely changed his mind and didn't want to keep Xiao Changyan. Little did he know that Xiao Changyan was just lucky.
However, after this incident, Xiao Changyan should completely trust Xiao Changgeng. It depends on whether he can find this person who knows the art of soul-stealing through Xiao Changgeng.
"When will you take me to see your falconry?" Shen Xihe suddenly asked.
Xiao Huayong looked away from the letter paper that Shen Xihe had thrown into the brazier, and seemed to have realized something: "How many do you want, Yoyo?"
She finally felt that her way of sending letters was too slow, and wanted to use his eagle. It was also a sign that she was gradually letting down her guard against him. You know, if she used his eagle, as long as he wanted, her letters would fall into his hands, which meant that she had no secrets from him.
This was the beginning of letting down one's guard and showing absolute trust. Xiao Huayong's eyebrows were tinged with smiles, and the luster of his pupils was like starlight spreading all over the ground, so beautiful that it captivated people.
