"It is no wonder that Xiao Zhongwu and his wife fought for military power before their first seven years. No wonder that 60000 people drowned in the first battle of changgu in Guocheng did not change their faces. In terms of ruthlessness, who could compare with Xiao Huaijin in the great Wei Dynasty?"
In the dungeon, there was a moment of silence.
Shen Han wanted to say something, but at last he didn't say anything. The young man, with his back to the prisoner, slowly clenched his hand to his side.
But for a moment, it was released slowly. He turned his head and looked at Lei Hou and said with a cold smile, "it seems that you know what kind of person I am. Then you have to think more clearly, "he went out in a cold voice." I never give people a second chance. "
When he arrived at the door, he ran into Heyan and Lin Shuanghe who were standing at the corner. He looked at him, ignored him and left.
No one dares to catch up.
Shen Han asked people to re lock Lei Hou in. I don't know if it was the words with Xiao Jue that made Lei Hou despair or something. Lei Hou laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the dungeon, gloomy and desolate.
Feinu came out and saw Heyan and Lin Shuanghe. He said, "Mr. Lin, how did you come?"
"I want to say," Heyan glanced inside: "I had a fight with Lei Hou. When the governor interrogated Lei Hou, he might be able to help, so I came to have a look."
"No, it's solved." Feinu replied quickly, "you can go back."
Lin Shuanghe shrugged his shoulders. Seeing Xiao Jue's cloak in Fei Nu's hand, he reached out and said, "this is Huaijin's clothes. I'll send them to him. He doesn't want to see people now."
Feinu: don't bother Mr. Lin
"No trouble, no trouble," said Lin Shuanghe. "I'm going to find him later."
Fei Nu stopped and nodded to Lin Shuanghe: "thank you very much."
Lin Shuanghe laughed and said to Heyan, "let's go."
They went out together.
When I came out, it was snowing a little, now it was snowing a little. He Yan's body was injured and he walked very slowly. He was also covered with Cheng Lishu's cloak. Although Lin Shuanghe calls his "sister" affectionate, he has a sense of propriety in getting along with women. He seems to have deliberately avoided suspicion and even helped Heyan.
However, they were not in a hurry and walked slowly.
The snow came down and hit the person. He Yan thought that he had just heard Lei Hou's words in the dungeon. He was thinking. Suddenly, Lin Shuanghe opened his mouth. He asked, "have you heard of the battle of changgu in Guocheng?"
He Yan one Zheng, immediately answer way: "have heard."
The battle of changgu in Guo City was the most important one in which Xiao Jue led the soldiers of Nanfu to pacify the rebellion of Nanman after Xiao Zhongwu died. At that time, all over the country were waiting to see Xiao Jue's jokes. A 16-year-old boy with so many soldiers that his father could not win was doomed to defeat.
Who knows that the first war was a complete victory, so that later Nanman retreated. Xiao Jue really calmed down the turmoil of Nanman, but it was only half a year.
"Do you know how he won the first battle of Nagano?"
"Water attack."
"Do you know?"
He Yan does not speak, bamboo stick Dun in the snow, poke a small hole.
"Then you know that in the first battle of changgu, General Xiao Huaijin of Fengyun flooded Guo City, killing 60000 people." Lin Shuanghe hugged Xiao Jue's black cloak more tightly. "At that time, the corpse floated, and the east of the city smelled. The city of Guo was like a hell on earth. It was so miserable." He asked with a smile, "well, do you think he is cruel and inhuman?"
He Yan said calmly: "war is cruel. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the people of the country. What's more, no one knows what the truth is without being in that position. If it had not been for his cruelty and inhumanity, we might have drowned now. "
Lin Shuanghe stepped forward, turned to Heyan and asked, "how could you think so?"
"I just feel that don Shaw is not such a man."
Lin Shuanghe looks at her like he Yan for the first time.
He Yan asked, "what's wrong with what I said?"
After a long time, he shook his head and laughed and said, "I'm just surprised that you and Huaijin didn't have a year to believe him. Why didn't I hear about it, but I wasn't as firm as you? "
He Yan thought that it was because Lin Shuanghe had not really been to the battlefield. Only after seeing people fighting on the battlefield can we know the difficulty of a general making a decision. Xiao Jue is smart and calm. If there is no reason why she has to do this, she doesn't have to. Instead, she leaves herself a reputation of being bloodthirsty.
You know, after the first World War of changgu, Xiao Jue defeated the southern barbarians and attracted the admiration and awe of countless young people. However, many scholars pointed their noses at Xiao Jue and accused him of being heartless and killing too many evils. After all, among the people drowned in the first battle of changgu, there were also Nanman civilians.
"Dr. Lin seems to know why he did it." He Yan asked, "why?"
"I didn't know it at first." Lin Shuanghe sighed, "you say, with 3000 soldiers, against 60000 people, in addition to water attack, what method can we do?""Three thousand soldiers?" He Yan suddenly raised his head: "isn't it 100000 Nanfu soldiers?"
"100000?" Lin Shuanghe said with a smile: "if there are 100000 soldiers in Nanfu, he doesn't have to take this method."
After Xiao Zhongwu's death, Mrs. Xiao followed her. For a while, Xiao's house was full of tears. At that time, Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in the first World War of Mingshui because he was headstrong and misdirected, which led to the death of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers.
His Majesty's kindness, in consideration of the contributions made by the Xiao family for many years, did not pursue Xiao Zhongwu's fault, but at the same time, the military power was also taken back. Xiao Jue was only 16 years old at that time, and Xiao Jing was only 18 years old. Bai Rongwei had not married her husband until half a year ago. For a time, people were in panic and did not know how to go in the future.
Lin Shuanghe still remembers the first time he saw Xiao Jue after the Xiao family accident.
Youth is used to a cold, lazy and tired look, as if nothing has been reflected in the heart. But also taught people to understand that nothing in the world can be difficult to defeat him.
However, anyone who suffers from such a great difficulty in his family is bound to be in a state of depression. No matter how bad it is, it will be very different from that in the past. But the Xiao Jue that Lin Shuanghe saw was not so. Except that he looked a little haggard than before, he did not feel depressed.
"Do you have any medicine to make people sleepy all day?" Xiao Jue asked.
Lin Shuanghe said: "there is a medicine shop in my house. If you want it, I'll get it for you right away."
Lin's medicine shops are all over the great Wei Dynasty, and several of them have been opened in the downtown area of shuojing. Lin Shuanghe orders the boy to go to the nearest drugstore, take two pairs, and pass them to him and say, "if you eat them, you can sleep for ten hours." He suddenly thought of something: "if you lose sleep at night, I can make you a softer one."
Perhaps, Xiao Jue is because of sudden changes at home, it is difficult to fall asleep all night, and she wants to seek medicine to calm her mind and help her sleep.
Xiao Jue took the medicine back in his sleeve, waved his hand and said, "thank you very much." Turn around and go.
"Huaijin!" Lin Shuanghe called him.
Xiao Jue stops and looks at him.
"This medicine Is it for you? "
The young man's eyebrows were delicate and bright. His eyes crossed him and fell in the distance. At the end of the distance, the towering palace loomed faintly. He said, "I want to enter the palace."
Lin Shuanghe was not a stupid person. He immediately understood Xiao Jue's intention. He said in horror, "are you going to enter the palace without your elder brother?"
"Tell him what to do." The young man bowed his head and laughed, "it's just a matter of increasing worry."
"You're crazy!" Lin Shuanghe said in a hurry: "do you know that because of General Xiao's affairs, the court is in a mess. Now no one dares to speak for General Xiao. Xu Xiang has been accompanying his majesty every day recently. Do you know why? "
"I know." Xiao Jue said, "so what? Military power must return to the Xiao family. "
"You are likely to die in this way!"
Xiao Jue turned his head and fixed his eyes on him, "that would be fatal."
"You
"By the way, I want to ask you for help." He said.
The young man's face rarely shows such a solemn expression. Lin Shuanghe's heart is filled with an ominous premonition. He mumbles his lips and asks, "what's the matter?"
"If I come back alive, I'll take it as if it didn't happen. If I die, "he said for a moment," you don't have to collect the corpse for me. Dr. Lin can speak in front of the Empress Dowager. Please help my elder brother. It has nothing to do with him. "
"What is Are you dead? " Lin Shuanghe heard his shaking voice.
"It's very simple. After tonight, either I die at this time or he dies tomorrow." He looked calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business, "but I'm not sure about the result, so," he bent his lips, "you can pray."
"Xiao Huaijin!"
The young man worshipped him deeply. When he straightened up, he only said two words.
Thank you very much
Lin Shuanghe's eyes are red.
Xiao Jue waved to him: "go back."
Lin Shuanghe did not move.
He laughed and turned away.
It was a long time ago, but Xiao Jue's back seemed to be still in front of her. In the bustling streets of downtown, teenagers are tall and straight, but they are very lonely.
No one knows what kind of road he is going to take, but Lin Shuanghe knows one thing very well.
Xiao Jue won't look back.
He was absorbed in his thoughts and was suddenly interrupted by Heyan's words. He Yan asked, "so later, the governor himself entered the palace?"
Lin Shuanghe regained consciousness and went on walking slowly. As he walked, he said, "I didn't follow him into the palace. What happened later was also what my grandfather said."
That night, it rained.
Autumn rain is cool and cold, it seems to soak people's hearts. In a few days, it will be the Mid Autumn Festival. If Xiao Zhongwu doesn't have an accident, Xiao's house should be busy arranging the banquet for the Mid Autumn Festival. But now it's bleak and filial piety is everywhere.
Three people on the table were silent.
No one wanted to move the meal. Bai Rong opened his mouth in a warm voice: "how much do you want to eat? If you go on like this, you can't eat any more."They were simple gruel dishes. After a moment's silence, Xiao Jing still took up the bowl. He took a sip, then put it down again and said, "Huaijin, I'll go into the palace with you in the morning."
Xiao Jue: "good."
Bai Rong asked: "entering the palace What do you do? "
"If the Xiao family has no military power, sooner or later it will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others." Xiao Jing said: "in any case, Nanfu soldiers should return to Xiao's home, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the Xiao family does not know how long it will last.
"Then, even if your majesty gives us the military power, what should we do in the future?" White Rong tiny heart wings of the mouth, "such as Bi, you are a doctor, even if Huaijin from Wu, but he is only 16 years old."
Xiao Jing's action stopped.
He had to admit the fact that there was no one in the Xiao family. Although Xiao Jue's talent is different, he is only 16. He is a half grown child. How can he lead tens of thousands of soldiers from the south.
It's hard to convince people.
"There's more to be done at sixteen." Xiao Jue casually clip vegetables, "big brother, timid, can only accomplish nothing."
Xiao Jing sighed and said, "well, let's take a look. Now, there is no other way. "
"Will your majesty return the right of war to us?" "Now Xu Xiang's power is so powerful that he will not miss this opportunity to deal with the Xiao family."
"Yes." "Don't be afraid. Xu Jingfu is just a mortal."
No one talks anymore.
Rain patters of the next non-stop, the next person will be white Rong Wei and Xiao Jing back to bed.
Xiao Jue stood up, put on her coat and went out the door.
Outside, feinu is waiting. The rain falls on the ground, making puddles and ripples, soaking the white lanterns hanging at the door.
Xiao Jue stops at the door.
Feinu said, "young master."
He bowed his head and told the housekeeper, "take care of them." He turned and got into the carriage.
"Let's go."
It disappeared into the night.
The carriage drove to the palace, where Xu Jingfu, the prime minister, was playing chess with emperor Wenxuan.
"Your Majesty, the second son of the Guangwu general's family has asked to see you."
Emperor Wen Xuan's action of playing chess was "Xiao Huaijin? What is he doing here
"Maybe it's about his father." Xu Jingfu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, be careful." He picked up a spot.
"You, don't take advantage of my distracted time to do mischief," Emperor Wen Xuan said with a smile, "cunning."
Xu Jingfu also laughed: "it was your majesty who let the old minister."
The two of them joked and played chess, which seemed to have forgotten Xiao Jue. When the time of a incense stick passed, the palace member came in again to remind him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is still waiting outside the hall, and it is still raining outside."
"Go back when it rains," Emperor Wen Xuan is worried about the chess game in front of him, "what to do."
"Don't worry, your majesty," said Xu Jingfu, "the family of Mr. Xiao has undergone great changes and is still a child now. Of course, there are many grievances in my heart. It's better to let the old minister go out and persuade him. It's best to persuade him back. "
"You go." Emperor Wenxuan waved impatiently: "it's Xiao Zhongwu's business in the upper court, but I can't get rid of the lower Dynasty. I'm tired of listening to it. You let him go back! Go and come back quickly. I have to finish this game with me when I come back. "
Xu Jingfu got up and saluted respectfully: "yes."
When he got out of the hall, he saw Xiao Jue kneeling at the door.
Xu Jingfu was a senior in Huajia. When he was young, he worked in the Imperial Academy, and his students were all over the world. Da Wei's outstanding young boy Lang has something to do with him. Even though Xiao Jue is not his student, he has heard of Xiao Jue's outstanding. I once met Xiao Jue when I was hunting in the royal family. I also remember that young man in white robe was so beautiful that he was dizzy like a pearl. He compared all the others.
Xu Jingfu also sighed in his heart that such an outstanding young man, if he had a good Xu family, would have been cheaper than Xiao Zhongwu.
He stood in front of Xiao Jue and said, "Xiao Er childe."
The boy raised his head and looked at him, "Lord Xu."
"It's raining so hard outside. How can Mr. Xiao wait outside without taking an umbrella?" He told about the palace, "come on, give Xiao Er childe an umbrella."
The palace man stood behind Xiao Jue with an umbrella. Xu Jingfu made a gesture to help him up, as if the elder really cared about the younger: "what are you doing on your knees? Get up quickly."
Xiao Jue did not move and said, "I want to see your majesty."
"Your Majesty is busy at the moment. If Mr. Xiao wants to do something, he will come back tomorrow. It's very late now, and your majesty needs to rest after your busy time. It's not a good time to face the saints. "
The young man was not moved, only repeated: "Lord Xu, I must see your majesty today."
Xu Jingfu stepped back and looked at him with his hand in his sleeve. There was a kind smile on his face. "Mr. Xiao, your majesty is kind. It was the Xiao family who had made great contributions to you, and he was very kind to you. Now your father is irresponsible, and the war of Mingshui caused the great Wei soldiers to lose miserably. It should have been investigated. It was your majesty who was thinking of the old love affair and spared one side. How can you make an inch of it and not know what's good or bad? "Night rain slanting floating, from the umbrella to slip in, will hit the young clothes wet. His eyes and eyebrows were beautiful, his expression was calm, and his voice was no longer in the past. He was half lazy, tired and romantic. He said, "what Mr. Xu said is true."
Xu Jingfu's smile did not change.
"So," said Xiao Jue, looking up at him, "I implore Mr. Xu to accommodate his majesty. Xiao Jue wants to see his majesty."
"Young master Xiao is joking. Why do I have to accommodate you, your majesty?" Asked Xu Jingfu.
The young man looked at him and bowed his head slightly: "please help Mr. Xu."
Young people's pride, the most can not withstand the break, sometimes the spine so gently curved, it can no longer stand up.
If Xiao Zhongwu knew it, how would it look to see his proud second son kneeling in front of him and asking for his mercy?
For a moment, Xu Jingfu didn't want to force him to a dead end. It was more interesting to see the proud man fall into the dust, be trampled into the mud, and his self-esteem was trampled on for nothing.
He raised his head slightly and said in distress, "Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't help you. But now his majesty is angry with the Xiao family. Even if it's an old man, it's hard to get involved in it. "
Xiao Jue only said, "please complete it."
Xu Jingfu stared at him for a long time and said, "if Mr. Xiao insists on seeing your majesty, you'd better take the punishment yourself. Xiao's family is a man of sin. If the second young master can spare no effort, his majesty will see that the fire in his heart may disperse a little bit. I can speak for Mr. Xiao. "
"Please give me your advice."
"Now that you are young, you can't afford more punishment. Go and get 50 boards first." He said.
This is very easy to say, as if Xiao Jue has been very open to one side, the palace next to the head is not talking, but the heart is hard to hide surprise.
If you are a little weak, you can die. Even if you are an ordinary person, you can lose half of your life if you go down to 50 boards. If you don't support it for a year and a half, it's hard to do well.
"Good," Xiao Jue said
Xu Jingfu said with a smile: "the second young master is really like his father." he turned around and told his descendants, "take the second young master Xiao down to get the board."
The night rain was rustling, and fifty boards fell on people. It was not easy to imagine. In particular, the executioners were "explained" by Xu Jingfu.
The boy said nothing, gritted his teeth and carried it down. After fifty boards, he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips, and slowly lifted himself up and stood up.
When he stood up, his steps were a little flighty, and he almost didn't stand firm. The palace people on his side couldn't bear it. In those days, the second young master Xiao was dressed in royal clothes and fur. Now, he is in such a mess. Who would have expected that? Nobody expected it.
Xu Jingfu was not interested in watching Xiao Jue get on the board. He went into the hall and talked to Emperor Wenxuan first.
Emperor Wen Xuan said, "you didn't mean to drive him away?"
"Your Majesty," Xu Jingfu shook his head, "young master Xiao insisted on seeing his majesty, and the old minister could not persuade him. Young man, full of spirit, really want to recognize the matter, nine cattle can not pull back. Now general Guangwu is no longer here, and his mother The old minister also looked at him pitifully. His majesty might as well see him and listen to him. If you don't say it well, let him go out and see you next time
Emperor Wenxuan sighed: "Aiqing is soft hearted."
"Your Majesty's mercy."
"Well," emperor Wenxuan told the palace men, "I've grown up anyway. Let him come in."
It's very cold outside the hall, and it's very warm in the hall. There's no place to avoid the night rain, only the faint fragrance of flowers. The lights were bright and someone was coming.
He knelt down in front of emperor Wenxuan and said, "minister, please see your majesty."
"No gift." Emperor Wenxuan said casually. He raised his eyes to Xiao Jue. When he saw Xiao Jue, he was stunned and asked, "how did you become like this?"
It had been raining outside, and Xu Jingfu's umbrella only lasted for less than a moment. He was wet and embarrassed, and he was so weak that he had just passed fifty boards. His face was like gold paper and his lips were pale, as if he were going to faint in the next moment.
It's very different from the past.
After all, Emperor Wen Xuan could not help but feel compassion and care. He slowed down his tone and said, "tell me, someone bullied you?"
"No Xu Jingfu stood at one side and replied, "the second son of Xiao knew that the Xiao family was guilty, and he himself received a fine of 50. He wanted to teach himself to be better than others, and let his majesty know the repentance of the Xiao family."
Emperor Wen Xuan looked at him and sighed, "Fifty boards Too much. "
"Mr. Xiao is also grateful for your Majesty's kindness and virtue." Xu Jingfu said with a smile.
"Why did you come to me?" Emperor Wen Xuan said, "I don't want to talk about the Xiao family any more."
Xiao Jue's eyes swept over the chess game on the table. At the top of the game, black and white pieces were interlaced and scattered. Under the warm light, it was somber and cold.
If life is strange, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
But the past is past, and the future can not be predicted.The young man fell down, his voice was calm, with an irresistible obstinacy, and he said word by word.
"I beg your Majesty's permission. I would like to lead the soldiers of Nanfu into Mingshui and fight against Nanman."

"It is no wonder that Xiao Zhongwu and his wife fought for military power before their first seven years. No wonder that 60000 people drowned in the first battle of changgu in Guocheng did not change their faces. In terms of ruthlessness, who could compare with Xiao Huaijin in the great Wei Dynasty?"
In the dungeon, there was a moment of silence.
Shen Han wanted to say something, but at last he didn't say anything. The young man, with his back to the prisoner, slowly clenched his hand to his side.
But for a moment, it was released slowly. He turned his head and looked at Lei Hou and said with a cold smile, "it seems that you know what kind of person I am. Then you have to think more clearly, "he went out in a cold voice." I never give people a second chance. "
When he arrived at the door, he ran into Heyan and Lin Shuanghe who were standing at the corner. He looked at him, ignored him and left.
No one dares to catch up.
Shen Han asked people to re lock Lei Hou in. I don't know if it was the words with Xiao Jue that made Lei Hou despair or something. Lei Hou laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the dungeon, gloomy and desolate.
Feinu came out and saw Heyan and Lin Shuanghe. He said, "Mr. Lin, how did you come?"
"I want to say," Heyan glanced inside: "I had a fight with Lei Hou. When the governor interrogated Lei Hou, he might be able to help, so I came to have a look."
"No, it's solved." Feinu replied quickly, "you can go back."
Lin Shuanghe shrugged his shoulders. Seeing Xiao Jue's cloak in Fei Nu's hand, he reached out and said, "this is Huaijin's clothes. I'll send them to him. He doesn't want to see people now."
Feinu: don't bother Mr. Lin
"No trouble, no trouble," said Lin Shuanghe. "I'm going to find him later."
Fei Nu stopped and nodded to Lin Shuanghe: "thank you very much."
Lin Shuanghe laughed and said to Heyan, "let's go."
They went out together.
When I came out, it was snowing a little, now it was snowing a little. He Yan's body was injured and he walked very slowly. He was also covered with Cheng Lishu's cloak. Although Lin Shuanghe calls his "sister" affectionate, he has a sense of propriety in getting along with women. He seems to have deliberately avoided suspicion and even helped Heyan.
However, they were not in a hurry and walked slowly.
The snow came down and hit the person. He Yan thought that he had just heard Lei Hou's words in the dungeon. He was thinking. Suddenly, Lin Shuanghe opened his mouth. He asked, "have you heard of the battle of changgu in Guocheng?"
He Yan one Zheng, immediately answer way: "have heard."

"Do you know how he won the first battle of Nagano?"
"Water attack."
"Do you know?"
He Yan does not speak, bamboo stick Dun in the snow, poke a small hole.
"Then you know that in the first battle of changgu, General Xiao Huaijin of Fengyun flooded Guo City, killing 60000 people." Lin Shuanghe hugged Xiao Jue's black cloak more tightly. "At that time, the corpse floated, and the east of the city smelled. The city of Guo was like a hell on earth. It was so miserable." He asked with a smile, "well, do you think he is cruel and inhuman?"
He Yan said calmly: "war is cruel. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the people of the country. What's more, no one knows what the truth is without being in that position. If it had not been for his cruelty and inhumanity, we might have drowned now. "
Lin Shuanghe stepped forward, turned to Heyan and asked, "how could you think so?"
"I just feel that don Shaw is not such a man."
Lin Shuanghe looks at her like he Yan for the first time.
He Yan asked, "what's wrong with what I said?"
After a long time, he shook his head and laughed and said, "I'm just surprised that you and Huaijin didn't have a year to believe him. Why didn't I hear about it, but I wasn't as firm as you? "
He Yan thought that it was because Lin Shuanghe had not really been to the battlefield. Only after seeing people fighting on the battlefield can we know the difficulty of a general making a decision. Xiao Jue is smart and calm. If there is no reason why she has to do this, she doesn't have to. Instead, she leaves herself a reputation of being bloodthirsty.

However, many scholars pointed their noses at Xiao Jue and accused him of being heartless and killing too many evils. After all, among the people drowned in the first battle of changgu, there were also Nanman civilians.
"Dr. Lin seems to know why he did it." He Yan asked, "why?"
"I didn't know it at first." Lin Shuanghe sighed, "you say, with 3000 soldiers, against 60000 people, in addition to water attack, what method can we do?""Three thousand soldiers?" He Yan suddenly raised his head: "isn't it 100000 Nanfu soldiers?"
"100000?" Lin Shuanghe said with a smile: "if there are 100000 soldiers in Nanfu, he doesn't have to take this method."
After Xiao Zhongwu's death, Mrs. Xiao followed her. For a while, Xiao's house was full of tears. At that time, Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in the first World War of Mingshui because he was headstrong and misdirected, which led to the death of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers.

But the Xiao Jue that Lin Shuanghe saw was not so. Except that he looked a little haggard than before, he did not feel depressed.
"Do you have any medicine to make people sleepy all day?" Xiao Jue asked.
Lin Shuanghe said: "there is a medicine shop in my house. If you want it, I'll get it for you right away."
Lin's medicine shops are all over the great Wei Dynasty, and several of them have been opened in the downtown area of shuojing. Lin Shuanghe orders the boy to go to the nearest drugstore, take two pairs, and pass them to him and say, "if you eat them, you can sleep for ten hours."

Perhaps, Xiao Jue is because of sudden changes at home, it is difficult to fall asleep all night, and she wants to seek medicine to calm her mind and help her sleep.
Xiao Jue took the medicine back in his sleeve, waved his hand and said, "thank you very much." Turn around and go.
"Huaijin!" Lin Shuanghe called him.
Xiao Jue stops and looks at him.
"This medicine Is it for you? "
The young man's eyebrows were delicate and bright. His eyes crossed him and fell in the distance. At the end of the distance, the towering palace loomed faintly. He said, "I want to enter the palace."
Lin Shuanghe was not a stupid person. He immediately understood Xiao Jue's intention. He said in horror, "are you going to enter the palace without your elder brother?"
"Tell him what to do." The young man bowed his head and laughed, "it's just a matter of increasing worry."
"You're crazy!" Lin Shuanghe said in a hurry: "do you know that because of General Xiao's affairs, the court is in a mess. Now no one dares to speak for General Xiao. Xu Xiang has been accompanying his majesty every day recently. Do you know why? "
"I know." Xiao Jue said, "so what? Military power must return to the Xiao family. "
"You are likely to die in this way!"
Xiao Jue turned his head and fixed his eyes on him, "that would be fatal."
"You
"By the way, I want to ask you for help." He said.
The young man's face rarely shows such a solemn expression. Lin Shuanghe's heart is filled with an ominous premonition. He mumbles his lips and asks, "what's the matter?"
"If I come back alive, I'll take it as if it didn't happen. If I die, "he said for a moment," you don't have to collect the corpse for me. Dr. Lin can speak in front of the Empress Dowager. Please help my elder brother. It has nothing to do with him. "
"What is Are you dead? " Lin Shuanghe heard his shaking voice.
"It's very simple. After tonight, either I die at this time or he dies tomorrow." He looked calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business, "but I'm not sure about the result, so," he bent his lips, "you can pray."
"Xiao Huaijin!"
The young man worshipped him deeply. When he straightened up, he only said two words.
Thank you very much
Lin Shuanghe's eyes are red.
Xiao Jue waved to him: "go back."
Lin Shuanghe did not move.
He laughed and turned away.
It was a long time ago, but Xiao Jue's back seemed to be still in front of her. In the bustling streets of downtown, teenagers are tall and straight, but they are very lonely.
No one knows what kind of road he is going to take, but Lin Shuanghe knows one thing very well.
Xiao Jue won't look back.
He was absorbed in his thoughts and was suddenly interrupted by Heyan's words. He Yan asked, "so later, the governor himself entered the palace?"
Lin Shuanghe regained consciousness and went on walking slowly. As he walked, he said, "I didn't follow him into the palace. What happened later was also what my grandfather said."
That night, it rained.
Autumn rain is cool and cold, it seems to soak people's hearts. In a few days, it will be the Mid Autumn Festival. If Xiao Zhongwu doesn't have an accident, Xiao's house should be busy arranging the banquet for the Mid Autumn Festival. But now it's bleak and filial piety is everywhere.
Three people on the table were silent.
No one wanted to move the meal. Bai Rong opened his mouth in a warm voice: "how much do you want to eat? If you go on like this, you can't eat any more."They were simple gruel dishes. After a moment's silence, Xiao Jing still took up the bowl. He took a sip, then put it down again and said, "Huaijin, I'll go into the palace with you in the morning."
Xiao Jue: "good."
Bai Rong asked: "entering the palace What do you do? "
"If the Xiao family has no military power, sooner or later it will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others." Xiao Jing said: "in any case, Nanfu soldiers should return to Xiao's home, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the Xiao family does not know how long it will last.
"Then, even if your majesty gives us the military power, what should we do in the future?" White Rong tiny heart wings of the mouth, "such as Bi, you are a doctor, even if Huaijin from Wu, but he is only 16 years old."
Xiao Jing's action stopped.
He had to admit the fact that there was no one in the Xiao family. Although Xiao Jue's talent is different, he is only 16. He is a half grown child. How can he lead tens of thousands of soldiers from the south.
It's hard to convince people.
"There's more to be done at sixteen." Xiao Jue casually clip vegetables, "big brother, timid, can only accomplish nothing."
Xiao Jing sighed and said, "well, let's take a look. Now, there is no other way. "
"Will your majesty return the right of war to us?" "Now Xu Xiang's power is so powerful that he will not miss this opportunity to deal with the Xiao family."
"Yes." "Don't be afraid. Xu Jingfu is just a mortal."
No one talks anymore.
Rain patters of the next non-stop, the next person will be white Rong Wei and Xiao Jing back to bed.
Xiao Jue stood up, put on her coat and went out the door.
Outside, feinu is waiting. The rain falls on the ground, making puddles and ripples, soaking the white lanterns hanging at the door.
Xiao Jue stops at the door.
Feinu said, "young master."
He bowed his head and told the housekeeper, "take care of them." He turned and got into the carriage.
"Let's go."
It disappeared into the night.
The carriage drove to the palace, where Xu Jingfu, the prime minister, was playing chess with emperor Wenxuan.
"Your Majesty, the second son of the Guangwu general's family has asked to see you."
Emperor Wen Xuan's action of playing chess was "Xiao Huaijin? What is he doing here
"Maybe it's about his father." Xu Jingfu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, be careful." He picked up a spot.
"You, don't take advantage of my distracted time to do mischief," Emperor Wen Xuan said with a smile, "cunning."
Xu Jingfu also laughed: "it was your majesty who let the old minister."
The two of them joked and played chess, which seemed to have forgotten Xiao Jue. When the time of a incense stick passed, the palace member came in again to remind him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is still waiting outside the hall, and it is still raining outside."
"Go back when it rains," Emperor Wen Xuan is worried about the chess game in front of him, "what to do."
"Don't worry, your majesty," said Xu Jingfu, "the family of Mr. Xiao has undergone great changes and is still a child now. Of course, there are many grievances in my heart. It's better to let the old minister go out and persuade him. It's best to persuade him back. "
"You go." Emperor Wenxuan waved impatiently: "it's Xiao Zhongwu's business in the upper court, but I can't get rid of the lower Dynasty. I'm tired of listening to it. You let him go back! Go and come back quickly. I have to finish this game with me when I come back. "
Xu Jingfu got up and saluted respectfully: "yes."
When he got out of the hall, he saw Xiao Jue kneeling at the door.
Xu Jingfu was a senior in Huajia. When he was young, he worked in the Imperial Academy, and his students were all over the world. Da Wei's outstanding young boy Lang has something to do with him. Even though Xiao Jue is not his student, he has heard of Xiao Jue's outstanding. I once met Xiao Jue when I was hunting in the royal family. I also remember that young man in white robe was so beautiful that he was dizzy like a pearl. He compared all the others.
Xu Jingfu also sighed in his heart that such an outstanding young man, if he had a good Xu family, would have been cheaper than Xiao Zhongwu.
He stood in front of Xiao Jue and said, "Xiao Er childe."
The boy raised his head and looked at him, "Lord Xu."
"It's raining so hard outside. How can Mr. Xiao wait outside without taking an umbrella?" He told about the palace, "come on, give Xiao Er childe an umbrella."
The palace man stood behind Xiao Jue with an umbrella. Xu Jingfu made a gesture to help him up, as if the elder really cared about the younger: "what are you doing on your knees? Get up quickly."
Xiao Jue did not move and said, "I want to see your majesty."
"Your Majesty is busy at the moment. If Mr. Xiao wants to do something, he will come back tomorrow. It's very late now, and your majesty needs to rest after your busy time. It's not a good time to face the saints. "
The young man was not moved, only repeated: "Lord Xu, I must see your majesty today."
Xu Jingfu stepped back and looked at him with his hand in his sleeve. There was a kind smile on his face. "Mr. Xiao, your majesty is kind. It was the Xiao family who had made great contributions to you, and he was very kind to you. Now your father is irresponsible, and the war of Mingshui caused the great Wei soldiers to lose miserably. It should have been investigated. It was your majesty who was thinking of the old love affair and spared one side. How can you make an inch of it and not know what's good or bad? "Night rain slanting floating, from the umbrella to slip in, will hit the young clothes wet. His eyes and eyebrows were beautiful, his expression was calm, and his voice was no longer in the past. He was half lazy, tired and romantic. He said, "what Mr. Xu said is true."
Xu Jingfu's smile did not change.
"So," said Xiao Jue, looking up at him, "I implore Mr. Xu to accommodate his majesty. Xiao Jue wants to see his majesty."
"Young master Xiao is joking. Why do I have to accommodate you, your majesty?" Asked Xu Jingfu.
The young man looked at him and bowed his head slightly: "please help Mr. Xu."
Young people's pride, the most can not withstand the break, sometimes the spine so gently curved, it can no longer stand up.
If Xiao Zhongwu knew it, how would it look to see his proud second son kneeling in front of him and asking for his mercy?
For a moment, Xu Jingfu didn't want to force him to a dead end. It was more interesting to see the proud man fall into the dust, be trampled into the mud, and his self-esteem was trampled on for nothing.
He raised his head slightly and said in distress, "Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't help you. But now his majesty is angry with the Xiao family. Even if it's an old man, it's hard to get involved in it. "
Xiao Jue only said, "please complete it."
Xu Jingfu stared at him for a long time and said, "if Mr. Xiao insists on seeing your majesty, you'd better take the punishment yourself. Xiao's family is a man of sin. If the second young master can spare no effort, his majesty will see that the fire in his heart may disperse a little bit. I can speak for Mr. Xiao. "
"Please give me your advice."
"Now that you are young, you can't afford more punishment. Go and get 50 boards first." He said.
This is very easy to say, as if Xiao Jue has been very open to one side, the palace next to the head is not talking, but the heart is hard to hide surprise.
If you are a little weak, you can die. Even if you are an ordinary person, you can lose half of your life if you go down to 50 boards. If you don't support it for a year and a half, it's hard to do well.
"Good," Xiao Jue said
Xu Jingfu said with a smile: "the second young master is really like his father." he turned around and told his descendants, "take the second young master Xiao down to get the board."
The night rain was rustling, and fifty boards fell on people. It was not easy to imagine. In particular, the executioners were "explained" by Xu Jingfu.
The boy said nothing, gritted his teeth and carried it down. After fifty boards, he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips, and slowly lifted himself up and stood up.
When he stood up, his steps were a little flighty, and he almost didn't stand firm. The palace people on his side couldn't bear it. In those days, the second young master Xiao was dressed in royal clothes and fur. Now, he is in such a mess. Who would have expected that? Nobody expected it.
Xu Jingfu was not interested in watching Xiao Jue get on the board. He went into the hall and talked to Emperor Wenxuan first.
Emperor Wen Xuan said, "you didn't mean to drive him away?"
"Your Majesty," Xu Jingfu shook his head, "young master Xiao insisted on seeing his majesty, and the old minister could not persuade him. Young man, full of spirit, really want to recognize the matter, nine cattle can not pull back. Now general Guangwu is no longer here, and his mother The old minister also looked at him pitifully. His majesty might as well see him and listen to him. If you don't say it well, let him go out and see you next time
Emperor Wenxuan sighed: "Aiqing is soft hearted."
"Your Majesty's mercy."
"Well," emperor Wenxuan told the palace men, "I've grown up anyway. Let him come in."
It's very cold outside the hall, and it's very warm in the hall. There's no place to avoid the night rain, only the faint fragrance of flowers. The lights were bright and someone was coming.
He knelt down in front of emperor Wenxuan and said, "minister, please see your majesty."
"No gift." Emperor Wenxuan said casually. He raised his eyes to Xiao Jue. When he saw Xiao Jue, he was stunned and asked, "how did you become like this?"
It had been raining outside, and Xu Jingfu's umbrella only lasted for less than a moment. He was wet and embarrassed, and he was so weak that he had just passed fifty boards. His face was like gold paper and his lips were pale, as if he were going to faint in the next moment.
It's very different from the past.
After all, Emperor Wen Xuan could not help but feel compassion and care. He slowed down his tone and said, "tell me, someone bullied you?"
"No Xu Jingfu stood at one side and replied, "the second son of Xiao knew that the Xiao family was guilty, and he himself received a fine of 50. He wanted to teach himself to be better than others, and let his majesty know the repentance of the Xiao family."
Emperor Wen Xuan looked at him and sighed, "Fifty boards Too much. "
"Mr. Xiao is also grateful for your Majesty's kindness and virtue." Xu Jingfu said with a smile.
"Why did you come to me?" Emperor Wen Xuan said, "I don't want to talk about the Xiao family any more."
Xiao Jue's eyes swept over the chess game on the table. At the top of the game, black and white pieces were interlaced and scattered. Under the warm light, it was somber and cold.
If life is strange, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
But the past is past, and the future can not be predicted.The young man fell down, his voice was calm, with an irresistible obstinacy, and he said word by word.
"I beg your Majesty's permission. I would like to lead the soldiers of Nanfu into Mingshui and fight against Nanman."

"It is no wonder that Xiao Zhongwu and his wife fought for military power before their first seven years. No wonder that 60000 people drowned in the first battle of changgu in Guocheng did not change their faces. In terms of ruthlessness, who could compare with Xiao Huaijin in the great Wei Dynasty?" In the dungeon, there was a moment of silence. Shen Han wanted to say something, but at last he didn't say anything. The young man, with his back to the prisoner, slowly clenched his hand to his side. But for a moment, it was released slowly. He turned his head and looked at Lei Hou and said with a cold smile, "it seems that you know what kind of person I am. Then you have to think more clearly, "he went out in a cold voice." I never give people a second chance. " When he arrived at the door, he ran into Heyan and Lin Shuanghe who were standing at the corner. He looked at him, ignored him and left. No one dares to catch up. Shen Han asked people to re lock Lei Hou in. I don't know if it was the words with Xiao Jue that made Lei Hou despair or something. Lei Hou laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the dungeon, gloomy and desolate. Feinu came out and saw Heyan and Lin Shuanghe. He said, "Mr. Lin, how did you come?" "I want to say," Heyan glanced inside: "I had a fight with Lei Hou. When the governor interrogated Lei Hou, he might be able to help, so I came to have a look." "No, it's solved." Feinu replied quickly, "you can go back." Lin Shuanghe shrugged his shoulders. Seeing Xiao Jue's cloak in Fei Nu's hand, he reached out and said, "this is Huaijin's clothes. I'll send them to him. He doesn't want to see people now." Feinu: don't bother Mr. Lin "No trouble, no trouble," said Lin Shuanghe. "I'm going to find him later." Fei Nu stopped and nodded to Lin Shuanghe: "thank you very much." Lin Shuanghe laughed and said to Heyan, "let's go." They went out together. When I came out, it was snowing a little, now it was snowing a little. He Yan's body was injured and he walked very slowly. He was also covered with Cheng Lishu's cloak. Although Lin Shuanghe calls his "sister" affectionate, he has a sense of propriety in getting along with women. He seems to have deliberately avoided suspicion and even helped Heyan. However, they were not in a hurry and walked slowly. The snow came down and hit the person. He Yan thought that he had just heard Lei Hou's words in the dungeon. He was thinking. Suddenly, Lin Shuanghe opened his mouth. He asked, "have you heard of the battle of changgu in Guocheng?" He Yan one Zheng, immediately answer way: "have heard." The battle of changgu in Guo City was the most important one in which Xiao Jue led the soldiers of Nanfu to pacify the rebellion of Nanman after Xiao Zhongwu died. At that time, all over the country were waiting to see Xiao Jue's jokes. A 16-year-old boy with so many soldiers that his father could not win was doomed to defeat. Who knows that the first war was a complete victory, so that later Nanman retreated. Xiao Jue really calmed down the turmoil of Nanman, but it was only half a year. "Do you know how he won the first battle of Nagano?" "Water attack." "Do you know?" He Yan does not speak, bamboo stick Dun in the snow, poke a small hole. "Then you know that in the first battle of changgu, General Xiao Huaijin of Fengyun flooded Guo City, killing 60000 people." Lin Shuanghe hugged Xiao Jue's black cloak more tightly. "At that time, the corpse floated, and the east of the city smelled. The city of Guo was like a hell on earth. It was so miserable." He asked with a smile, "well, do you think he is cruel and inhuman?" He Yan said calmly: "war is cruel. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the people of the country. What's more, no one knows what the truth is without being in that position. If it had not been for his cruelty and inhumanity, we might have drowned now. " Lin Shuanghe stepped forward, turned to Heyan and asked, "how could you think so?" "I just feel that don Shaw is not such a man." Lin Shuanghe looks at her like he Yan for the first time. He Yan asked, "what's wrong with what I said?" After a long time, he shook his head and laughed and said, "I'm just surprised that you and Huaijin didn't have a year to believe him. Why didn't I hear about it, but I wasn't as firm as you? " He Yan thought that it was because Lin Shuanghe had not really been to the battlefield. Only after seeing people fighting on the battlefield can we know the difficulty of a general making a decision. Xiao Jue is smart and calm. If there is no reason why she has to do this, she doesn't have to. Instead, she leaves herself a reputation of being bloodthirsty. You know, after the first World War of changgu, Xiao Jue defeated the southern barbarians and attracted the admiration and awe of countless young people. However, many scholars pointed their noses at Xiao Jue and accused him of being heartless and killing too many evils. After all, among the people drowned in the first battle of changgu, there were also Nanman civilians. "Dr. Lin seems to know why he did it." He Yan asked, "why?" "I didn't know it at first." Lin Shuanghe sighed, "you say, with 3000 soldiers, against 60000 people, in addition to water attack, what method can we do?""Three thousand soldiers?" He Yan suddenly raised his head: "isn't it 100000 Nanfu soldiers?" "100000?" Lin Shuanghe said with a smile: "if there are 100000 soldiers in Nanfu, he doesn't have to take this method." After Xiao Zhongwu's death, Mrs. Xiao followed her. For a while, Xiao's house was full of tears. At that time, Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in the first World War of Mingshui because he was headstrong and misdirected, which led to the death of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers. His Majesty's kindness, in consideration of the contributions made by the Xiao family for many years, did not pursue Xiao Zhongwu's fault, but at the same time, the military power was also taken back. Xiao Jue was only 16 years old at that time, and Xiao Jing was only 18 years old. Bai Rongwei had not married her husband until half a year ago. For a time, people were in panic and did not know how to go in the future. Lin Shuanghe still remembers the first time he saw Xiao Jue after the Xiao family accident. Youth is used to a cold, lazy and tired look, as if nothing has been reflected in the heart. But also taught people to understand that nothing in the world can be difficult to defeat him. However, anyone who suffers from such a great difficulty in his family is bound to be in a state of depression. No matter how bad it is, it will be very different from that in the past. But the Xiao Jue that Lin Shuanghe saw was not so. Except that he looked a little haggard than before, he did not feel depressed. "Do you have any medicine to make people sleepy all day?" Xiao Jue asked. Lin Shuanghe said: "there is a medicine shop in my house. If you want it, I'll get it for you right away." Lin's medicine shops are all over the great Wei Dynasty, and several of them have been opened in the downtown area of shuojing. Lin Shuanghe orders the boy to go to the nearest drugstore, take two pairs, and pass them to him and say, "if you eat them, you can sleep for ten hours." He suddenly thought of something: "if you lose sleep at night, I can make you a softer one." Perhaps, Xiao Jue is because of sudden changes at home, it is difficult to fall asleep all night, and she wants to seek medicine to calm her mind and help her sleep. Xiao Jue took the medicine back in his sleeve, waved his hand and said, "thank you very much." Turn around and go. "Huaijin!" Lin Shuanghe called him. Xiao Jue stops and looks at him. "This medicine Is it for you? " The young man's eyebrows were delicate and bright. His eyes crossed him and fell in the distance. At the end of the distance, the towering palace loomed faintly. He said, "I want to enter the palace." Lin Shuanghe was not a stupid person. He immediately understood Xiao Jue's intention. He said in horror, "are you going to enter the palace without your elder brother?" "Tell him what to do." The young man bowed his head and laughed, "it's just a matter of increasing worry." "You're crazy!" Lin Shuanghe said in a hurry: "do you know that because of General Xiao's affairs, the court is in a mess. Now no one dares to speak for General Xiao. Xu Xiang has been accompanying his majesty every day recently. Do you know why? " "I know." Xiao Jue said, "so what? Military power must return to the Xiao family. " "You are likely to die in this way!" Xiao Jue turned his head and fixed his eyes on him, "that would be fatal." "You "By the way, I want to ask you for help." He said. The young man's face rarely shows such a solemn expression. Lin Shuanghe's heart is filled with an ominous premonition. He mumbles his lips and asks, "what's the matter?" "If I come back alive, I'll take it as if it didn't happen. If I die, "he said for a moment," you don't have to collect the corpse for me. Dr. Lin can speak in front of the Empress Dowager. Please help my elder brother. It has nothing to do with him. " "What is Are you dead? " Lin Shuanghe heard his shaking voice. "It's very simple. After tonight, either I die at this time or he dies tomorrow." He looked calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business, "but I'm not sure about the result, so," he bent his lips, "you can pray." "Xiao Huaijin!" The young man worshipped him deeply. When he straightened up, he only said two words. Thank you very much Lin Shuanghe's eyes are red. Xiao Jue waved to him: "go back." Lin Shuanghe did not move. He laughed and turned away. It was a long time ago, but Xiao Jue's back seemed to be still in front of her. In the bustling streets of downtown, teenagers are tall and straight, but they are very lonely.

Xiao Jue stood up, put on her coat and went out the door. Outside, feinu is waiting. The rain falls on the ground, making puddles and ripples, soaking the white lanterns hanging at the door. Xiao Jue stops at the door. Feinu said, "young master." He bowed his head and told the housekeeper, "take care of them." He turned and got into the carriage. "Let's go." It disappeared into the night. The carriage drove to the palace, where Xu Jingfu, the prime minister, was playing chess with emperor Wenxuan. "Your Majesty, the second son of the Guangwu general's family has asked to see you." Emperor Wen Xuan's action of playing chess was "Xiao Huaijin? What is he doing here "Maybe it's about his father." Xu Jingfu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, be careful." He picked up a spot. "You, don't take advantage of my distracted time to do mischief," Emperor Wen Xuan said with a smile, "cunning." Xu Jingfu also laughed: "it was your majesty who let the old minister." The two of them joked and played chess, which seemed to have forgotten Xiao Jue. When the time of a incense stick passed, the palace member came in again to remind him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is still waiting outside the hall, and it is still raining outside." "Go back when it rains," Emperor Wen Xuan is worried about the chess game in front of him, "what to do." "Don't worry, your majesty," said Xu Jingfu, "the family of Mr. Xiao has undergone great changes and is still a child now. Of course, there are many grievances in my heart.

Emperor Wenxuan waved impatiently: "it's Xiao Zhongwu's business in the upper court, but I can't get rid of the lower Dynasty. I'm tired of listening to it. You let him go back! Go and come back quickly. I have to finish this game with me when I come back. " Xu Jingfu got up and saluted respectfully: "yes." When he got out of the hall, he saw Xiao Jue kneeling at the door.

He was half lazy, tired and romantic. He said, "what Mr. Xu said is true." Xu Jingfu's smile did not change. "So," said Xiao Jue, looking up at him, "I implore Mr. Xu to accommodate his majesty. Xiao Jue wants to see his majesty." "Young master Xiao is joking. Why do I have to accommodate you, your majesty?" Asked Xu Jingfu. The young man looked at him and bowed his head slightly: "please help Mr. Xu."

"Now that you are young, you can't afford more punishment. Go and get 50 boards first." He said. This is very easy to say, as if Xiao Jue has been very open to one side, the palace next to the head is not talking, but the heart is hard to hide surprise. If you are a little weak, you can die. Even if you are an ordinary person, you can lose half of your life if you go down to 50 boards. If you don't support it for a year and a half, it's hard to do well. "Good," Xiao Jue said Xu Jingfu said with a smile: "the second young master is really like his father." he turned around and told his descendants, "take the second young master Xiao down to get the board." The night rain was rustling, and fifty boards fell on people. It was not easy to imagine. In particular, the executioners were "explained" by Xu Jingfu. The boy said nothing, gritted his teeth and carried it down. After fifty boards, he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips, and slowly lifted himself up and stood up. When he stood up, his steps were a little flighty, and he almost didn't stand firm. The palace people on his side couldn't bear it. In those days, the second young master Xiao was dressed in royal clothes and fur. Now, he is in such a mess. Who would have expected that? Nobody expected it. Xu Jingfu was not interested in watching Xiao Jue get on the board. He went into the hall and talked to Emperor Wenxuan first. Emperor Wen Xuan said, "you didn't mean to drive him away?" "Your Majesty," Xu Jingfu shook his head, "young master Xiao insisted on seeing his majesty, and the old minister could not persuade him. Young man, full of spirit, really want to recognize the matter, nine cattle can not pull back. Now general Guangwu is no longer here, and his mother The old minister also looked at him pitifully. His majesty might as well see him and listen to him. If you don't say it well, let him go out and see you next time Emperor Wenxuan sighed: "Aiqing is soft hearted." "Your Majesty's mercy." "Well," emperor Wenxuan told the palace men, "I've grown up anyway. Let him come in." It's very cold outside the hall, and it's very warm in the hall. There's no place to avoid the night rain, only the faint fragrance of flowers. The lights were bright and someone was coming. He knelt down in front of emperor Wenxuan and said, "minister, please see your majesty." "No gift." Emperor Wenxuan said casually. He raised his eyes to Xiao Jue. When he saw Xiao Jue, he was stunned and asked, "how did you become like this?" It had been raining outside, and Xu Jingfu's umbrella only lasted for less than a moment. He was wet and embarrassed, and he was so weak that he had just passed fifty boards. His face was like gold paper and his lips were pale, as if he were going to faint in the next moment. It's very different from the past. After all, Emperor Wen Xuan could not help but feel compassion and care. He slowed down his tone and said, "tell me, someone bullied you?" "No Xu Jingfu stood at one side and replied, "the second son of Xiao knew that the Xiao family was guilty, and he himself received a fine of 50. He wanted to teach himself to be better than others, and let his majesty know the repentance of the Xiao family." Emperor Wen Xuan looked at him and sighed, "Fifty boards Too much. " "Mr. Xiao is also grateful for your Majesty's kindness and virtue." Xu Jingfu said with a smile. "Why did you come to me?" Emperor Wen Xuan said, "I don't want to talk about the Xiao family any more." Xiao Jue's eyes swept over the chess game on the table. At the top of the game, black and white pieces were interlaced and scattered. Under the warm light, it was somber and cold. If life is strange, no one can predict what will happen in the future. But the past is past, and the future can not be predicted.The young man fell down, his voice was calm, with an irresistible obstinacy, and he said word by word. "I beg your Majesty's permission. I would like to lead the soldiers of Nanfu into Mingshui and fight against Nanman." www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
