"Ahem, it's been too long to show affection, right?" Jiang Yi saw that the two people in front of him still looked affectionate, and roared angrily in his heart: Can you be considerate of a single dog, a dog is also a life, how can you be so devastated?

"Oh, Brother Jiang hasn't left yet? I thought you were already gone. Xiao Dao laughed awkwardly, but the words he said were like an invisible sword piercing Jiang Yi's heart, so painful......

"yes, I'm not gone yet, but I'm almost gone. Jiang Yi was pleasant on the surface, but in fact, he had already beaten Xiao Dao in his heart many times, thinking that I had left early? Is this what you should say to your life-saving benefactor? Shouldn't you be grateful to thank me? Shouldn't you insist on kowtowing to me and then I desperately stop it?

"Brother Jiang is my life-saving benefactor, and this affection will be repaid in the future. Xiao Dao suddenly arched his hand to Jiang Yi and said.

Jiang Yi is full of black lines, why is your thinking so jumpy? I just thought that you were out of the plot, why did you suddenly enter the role? Although I complained thousands of times in my heart, Jiang Yi still said seriously: "Since I call you Brother Xiao, it means that I have already regarded you as my friend or even a relative, since you are a friend of relatives and friends, why bother with these small details." The tone is very sincere and credible, in fact, Jiang Yi also thinks this in his heart, although he has not known each other for a long time, but Xiao Dao's indifference and gentleness towards bad luck still moved Jiang Yi, therefore, Jiang Yi really wants to make Xiao Dao a friend, not just Xiao Yu's relationship.

After hearing this, Xiao Dao's eyes were a little moist, his face was even more embarrassed, and he said self-deprecatingly: "My own relatives expelled me from the house, and they didn't let me call myself the Xiao family anymore, so I could only change my surname to Xiao. ”

Gu Ling, who was beside Xiao Dao, held Xiao Dao's hand with some distress: "Let him pass in the past, we are in the Xia Kingdom, and they won't find it if we think about it." ”

Xiao Dao nodded, and held Gu Ling's hand instead: "In the past few years since I was poisoned, you have worked hard, your hands were plump and white before, but now you have a little calloon scarring." Xiao Dao's affectionate tone was filled with pity for Gu Ling, and Gu Ling also looked up at Xiao Dao with a gentle expression.

"That's... Well, I want to ask how you came to this Xia country? It seems that you are not from the Xia country, right?" Jiang Yi asked with some curiosity and gossip.

"Yes, we are not from the Xia Kingdom, we fled here from the Zhao Kingdom. Xiao Dao and Gu Ling sat together, and after a moment of silence, Xiao Dao said slowly.

"My family is the Xiao family, is the famous family of the Zhao State, at the beginning of the Zhao State, our Xiao family has assisted the Zhao royal family, the east and the west, for the Zhao royal family has made great contributions, therefore, in the Zhao country is also a famous family, can even be said to be the first family in addition to the royal family, calling for wind and rain, the power is monstrous. Xiao Dao had pride on his face, but there was also a deep sense of pain.

Jiang Yi also sat down and quietly listened to Xiao Dao's story.

"However, with the stability and prosperity of the dynasty, the royal family does not seem to need such a capable courtier. Xiao Dao's tone was a little sarcastic, but it was also very indifferent, the trend of history is like this, with a tiger that can devour people by his side, no one can live too peacefully, even if this tiger obeys his orders, but who knows that this tiger will always obey his orders?

Therefore, the next thing is easy to imagine, the high-ranking officials returned to the field, the upstart was deposed, and under a series of actions by the royal family, the Xiao family had no chance to fight back, and even a chance to defend itself was never given. Xiao Dao paused and sighed softly.

"The power that once represented one person disappeared overnight, but some of the Xiao family are too loyal to the royal family, and even if they are treated like this, they still think it is their family's fault, and they are looking forward to the opportunity to make a comeback. Xiao Dao sneered when he said this, and was a little disdainful of those solemn old men in his impression, Xiao Dao also told his father, Xiao Qi, the eldest elder of the Xiao family, but it was useless, because doubting the royal family means rebellion, let alone what a teenager said?

"Just when the Xiao family was being excluded, a new family appeared, and the vacancies in the court were filled by the people of this family, among them, there were even the official positions of prime minister and generalissimo of the unified army, this family is the Zhuge family. "Xiao Dao is still a little unclear, why did he put such a big power in the hands of the Zhuge family, and in the hands of the peerless strategist named Zhuge Yun, the royal family is not afraid of the next powerful Xiao family?

Jiang Yi also didn't understand a little, if it was said that the royal family was afraid that the Xiao family's merits would be overpowered, how could they still cultivate a Zhuge family? Moreover, it was a little unreasonable to hand over the original power of the Xiao family to a minister.

Just as Jiang Yi was thinking about it, Xiao Dao continued: "The old stubborn eyes of the Xiao family are all on this Zhuge family, thinking that they can use the power of the Zhuge family to reproduce the glory of the Xiao family's old days and give gifts? ”

"It's also strange to say, although the Xiao family is the first family in the past, but after the downfall, the Xiao family only has three or two big cats and kittens, and there is really no advantage in terms of competition, but on the contrary, the Zhuge family agreed to marry, but the dowry is to ask for eighty percent of the Xiao family's business source, which is undoubtedly a lion's mouth, but the old stubborn Xiao family agreed. Xiao Dao's voice was a little cold.

"This is just to annex your Xiao family, right? Although the Xiao family is lonely, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and that wealth is still eye-catching enough. Jiang Yi speculated.

"That's what I thought at the time, so I was very puzzled by the family's decision, and at that time I thought that the whole family was stupid, and I couldn't see such a simple calculation, and when I heard that I was the partner of marriage, I made a decision. ”

"Running away from marriage?" Jiang Yi thought of the plot of some novels and guessed in a low voice.

"Yes, I ran away from marriage, so I eloped with Gu Ling. Xiao Dao glanced at Jiang Yi appreciatively, and said a little proudly.

Jiang Yi was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this old brother to be quite violent, and he dared to go against the wishes of the family, and then looked at Gu Ling with admiration, he didn't expect that this weak woman would dare to run away with Xiao Dao with infamy, it was really a bit bold.
