Chapter 136: I can't afford to invite a cup again and again
"Brother Xia. ”
The journey was short, but Xia Xiao was about to leave, but was stopped by Du Chun. This righteous and awe-inspiring man looked at Xia Xiao and admonished.
"Be careful. ”
"Thank you, Brother Du. ”
Xia Xiao said, and Shu Shuang turned to leave. The two walked down the corridor, with the spirit of facing the world. Although Du Chun and Li Dong are both handsome and talented, they are ashamed of themselves.
Under the corridor, there are fewer people, and Su Zhongmou and Su Huanhuiyue are waiting here. Earlier, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang moved a little slower, and then walked behind them.
"Uncle Sue. ”
Xia Xiao made a move, but was helped up by Su Zhongmou. Although his Su family has helped the Xia family for so many years, this gift, in the current situation, is not good!
Said as he walked. ”
This place is very far away from the front hall, Su Zhongmou also chose a remote road, it doesn't matter how many times he goes around, if there is anything, he has to say it in advance. Anyway, there are still two hours before the start of the luncheon, and even if you climb, you can climb to the front hall.
"How's the preparation?"
"The human and material evidence is complete. ”
"And how are you going to speak?"
"The Holy One will definitely give me a chance, such as some hints. ”
Su Zhongmou talked to Xia Xiao, and the three girls walked behind him. Huiyue was a little hesitant and asked Shu Shuang.
"I'm going to the front hall too?"
"Yes, luncheon. ”
"But I ......"
She is a common man in cloth, and she can't think that she really flew on the branch and became a phoenix just because she wore gorgeous clothes. Rather than being embarrassed, it is better to take the initiative to quit. Huiyue can see the vast ancestor worship process today, which is very satisfying.
Shu Shuang took Sister Huiyue's hand and was about to comfort her, but Su Zhong said:
"It doesn't matter, that's what the Holy One means, the more people are involved, the harder it is for them to escape responsibility. ”
"This time I made Huiyue suffer, is there any news of the camp?"
After the camp was injured by himself the day before yesterday, there was no news. In the imperial capital, it was difficult for Xia Xiao to find out the news, and he had to rely on Su Zhongmou. He was always in the imperial capital, and he had people everywhere.
"It's not dead, but it's very badly injured, and this life is a waste. ”
Private affairs Huiyue also knew that she didn't think that Xia Xiao would give such a heavy hand, it was a member of the royal family, and he was still the grandson of the elder of the National Elder's House.
"Just what I wanted. ”
Xia Xiaoyun is light and light, such a dirty person, it is lucky to be able to pick up a life. If it weren't for the presence of Ji Buwen at that time, Ji Ying would have been reincarnated now.
"In accordance with the will of the Holy Lord, I have discussed with the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and arranged a good position for the three of you in the name of the Holy Lord, and then you can directly observe the eyes of the Holy Lord, understand?"
"Hard work Uncle Sue. ”
"Don't be so polite, I have two more good news. ”
Xia Xiao looked at Su Zhongmou with some curiosity. Now that things are not done, can there be good things to be happy about?
"The Sparrow Pavilion has sent an urgent message, and the fast horse is following suit. It is estimated that at noon today, General Xia will receive the Holy Edict and prepare to return to the imperial capital. ”
"The saint is really thoughtful, so my Xia family's courtyard house is also intact?"
"That's right, since you left, I've been working with a few adults to defend the house. As long as you give an order, someone will clean it immediately, and you can live tonight. ”
"Not necessarily, I want to go back tonight. ”
"Good!"
There are thousands of red walls, grand and festive, but Xia Xiao walked under them, and he always felt that his heart was not smooth. The Holy Lord's arrangement is good, but it always gives him a feeling of deception, and it also makes him feel like he is being mastered. Or is it a gift and encouragement from the Holy One?
After a few rounds, you will come to the main hall. Among them, the maids who serve the dishes are constantly coming and going, and the ministers are talking and enjoying it. There are also some people who are silent and dare not say that now the House of the Elders will fall and the party members will decline.
In contrast, the finalists are majestic and restrained, like sharp swords, unsheathed, but with a cold splash.
Sitting on the futon, Xia Xiao looked to the left, Shu Shuang and Huiyue were side by side, which showed the meaning of the saint.
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang have been seen by many people, but who is the woman next to her?
This seat is quite exquisite, even if everyone is curious, they don't dare to say much, and it is the meaning of the saint at a glance. The Ministry of Rites is still in the book, but he doesn't dare to adjust the throne Huang Lu at will.
At noon, Yi Yi had already changed his robe, sat on the dragon chair, and said casually:
"Let's eat. ”
One person and one small table, a lot of dishes. When Baichen moved, Xia Xiao said to Shu Shuang:
"Eat more, you will have more strength in a while. ”
Seeing that Shu Shuang told Huiyue, Xia Xiao took a chopstick dish and handed it to his mouth. The dishes in the palace are naturally good, but when Xia Xiao enjoys them, he doesn't forget to pay attention to the actions of the saints.
This seemingly peaceful banquet was actually a silent battle, and everyone was cautious, especially Na Bu Wen!
Xia Xiao cast his eyes and looked at the old face of Tie Qing.
It is said that the ancestor worship of Daxia is the most peculiar, remembering the ancestors, but not forgetting to cherish the present. Therefore, even if you fast for seven days before worshipping your ancestors, there is no taboo in the feast at this time, and there is even the sound of silk and bamboo. But even so, Ji Buwen still couldn't be happy. No matter how delicious the food is, as long as you are in a bad mood, it is difficult to swallow.
He noticed Xia Xiao's gaze and met his eyes.
Picking up the wine glass beside him, Xia Xiao raised it and poured it silently on his futon.
When Ji Buwen saw it, the face of the person who was just about to raise his glass turned cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched angrily.
"Damn it!"
Although he scolded secretly and was vicious in his heart, Xia Xiao didn't care, he ate vegetables and meat, and enjoyed it. He was more excited than the former's worries.
When he took a bite of the meat and his taste buds were satisfied, Xi Yi raised the wine glass for the first time, Xia Xiao's chopsticks hung in the air, and when he put it down, he saw him raise the wine glass. It seems that the meal is not full, and it is about to begin.
"Ladies and gentlemen. ”
Ji Yi's voice was not loud, but it could silence the crows in the hall. Above the court, everyone has to pay attention to the demeanor and face of the saint.
Everyone raised their glasses one by one, not daring to slack off, but when Xia Xiao grabbed the cup, he looked at the saint for a moment. Ji Yi's gaze just drifted over, as if he didn't want to express anything, but Xia Xiao's palm loosened, causing the wine glass to stop in place.
The affairs of the Xia family once alarmed the entire imperial capital, and now if you want to solve it openly, you must have a large enough venue, and now this stage is undoubtedly the best. But the beginning is a difficult problem, and if it is bluntly raised, it will definitely be difficult to clean up. It's hard to talk about the saints, so you have to come by yourself.
Xia Xiao came to his senses and only listened to the Holy Word:
"In the past time, Great Xia has come back from the dead, thanks to the first church. I salute them with all of you!"
After Yi finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass, in a hurry, but he was happy. He originally didn't think of a suitable way to start, but Grandpa Mu said that he could bring up the past during the toast and then hand it over to Xia Xiao. But now it seems that Xia Xiao is the best start if he doesn't raise a glass.
The ministers drank one by one, raised their heads and smacked their tongues, but Xia Xiao and the three of them stood still.
At first, Hui Yue, who was slow to react, had already raised her wine glass, but she could see the soothing movement, and then stopped. This is an extremely bold decision, and it is even more disrespectful to the saint, but she believes in Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. The person who can make such a big move because he has been wronged is worthy of her trust.
In the audience, only the three of them were the most special. Separated by half of the hall, Xia Xiao and Shengshang looked at each other, the latter did not blame in his eyes, at this moment, Xia Xiao understood!
"Second cup, three faculty members of Jingning Theological Academy, thank you for taking the time to pick out the best for Great Xia. ”
Under this cup, Xia Xiao and the three still did not obey. People who didn't find out before were extremely shocked at this time, this kind of occasion doesn't give face, don't want to have a head? This is not a self-righteous occasion!
When Zhu Heng saw it, he was a little strange. Now they don't dare to underestimate Xia Xiao, knowing that there must be a reason for his trip, could it be ......
Sure enough, Zhu Heng was not gentle and saw Xia Xiao and Shengshang looking at each other, although it was only for a second, his heart sank. How intense should it be to start in this form? Zhu Heng couldn't imagine it, so he could only secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva and pretend to be calm.
"The third cup, to the minister, and the best talents of our Great Xia. ”
Yi Yi shifted his gaze, and when he saw the abrupt Xia Xiao, he asked:
"Xia Xiao, why don't you raise your glass?"
Xia Xiao's heart trembled slightly, all the important ministers of Great Xia here, it is not good to make a big deal in such a place, but what the Holy Lord wants, is like that.
got up and walked to the hall, Xia Xiao bowed and saluted. His face was serious, as if something was bothering his body and mind. In Zhu Heng's stunned eyes, Xia Xiao still said, as they expected, it was difficult for them to be wary.
"Back to the saint, the grass people hide things in their hearts and are difficult to let go, so they don't raise a glass to celebrate. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Flicking the sleeves of the dragon robe, Yi Yi leaned back on the dragon chair with a casual expression.
"The grass people have a lowly status, and there are some things, I'm afraid it's not good to say here. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid of provoking people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and usher in disaster,"
Ji Yi smiled secretly, what Xia Xiao said at this time was naturally against his will. However, what he wanted to express was that Ji Buwen and Zhu Heng had improper intentions. It's so smart, it's good to be on your side, otherwise it's a trouble!
"Are you a member of the Pope of the First Church, or someone who has advanced to the final selection, who dares to hurt you?
The show was about to begin, Su Zhongmou and the others all took a sip of wine, waiting to see the excitement. But Xia Xiao suddenly knelt down on one knee, pleading in a voice, pretending to be pitiful.
"Saint, even if I have so many identities, I still don't dare to say it! Some people are counting on it, so they want the grass people to say the wrong thing and be punished by the saint, after all, ...... They have tried to take my life again and again. ”
Xia Xiao lowered his head and laughed evilly. The lower the attitude now, the more noticeable it becomes. In this scene, he will perform the best and become the swan song in the world!
Sure enough, the ministers who didn't think Xia Xiao was a soft egg became lively and discussed. Seeing this, the saint frowned even more, but secretly applauded in his heart. This Xia Xiao really has a set, not to say it on the surface, but in fact he has already told the seriousness of the matter.
"Do you want me to write an edict to give you a token to avoid death?"
"Don't dare, it's good to have a message. ”
"Hmph, there are me, there are the three faculty members of Ning Seminary, there is Shu Shuang who went to the first church, and the ministers and people in the world will all keep you safe. What do you want?
Ji Yi's voice was high, causing cold sweat to break out on Zhu Heng's forehead, and his beard trembled slightly, but it could be seen that Ji was not warm, and the latter sat in place and did nothing. If it was feasible, Zhu Heng really wanted to escape, but this golden brick and jade tile Taihe Hall did not even have a mouse hole.
When Zhu Heng was frightened, Xia Xiao raised his head, straightened his waist, and looked at him!
