Chapter 228

Xiao Cong couldn't help but burst into a foul language in his heart, and left the Supervision Department without looking back with a black face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the imperial city, which is full of powerful and high-ranking officials, a right deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division is nothing, but no one wants to easily offend an official in charge of city defense, not to mention that Xiao Cong was born in the famous Lanling Xiao family, and the power behind it should not be underestimated.

If there is any big clan that can compete with the Cui family at the moment, it must be the Xiao family.

Lanling Xiao was a relative and a minister at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still standing, and there was a Xiao Yu, the prime minister of Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, at that time, the Xiao family was a well-deserved first family, but after Xiao Yu, his branch never produced any ministers, but his brother Xiao Jun's descendants flourished and talented.

And Xiao Cong is from Xiao Jun's branch, a child of a serious family.

Although the Xiao family's family style is upright, this does not mean that they will not seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Xiao Congzheng is so worried because he considers his family.

The Zuo Ling of the Supervision Department was killed, to put it mildly, it was just an official who was assassinated, and it may be purely a personal grudge, but now the suspect is a member of the Soldiers and Horses Division, and he is Xiao Cong's subordinate.

If Xiao Cong was dragged into the water, how could the Xiao family behind him be wiped out?

Now that Her Majesty is openly and secretly weakening the power of the family, the devil knows what she will do.

The more I thought about it, the more irritable Xiao Cong became, it was really a fucking disaster!

However, Xiao Cong thought of Cui Ning's identity and was a little more relieved. There is competition between the various families, but they are extremely united externally, and they will not let the imperial power divide them and then break them one by one. Cui Ning was involved in the case this time, Xiao never counted on the help of the Cui family, but with the Cui family, he didn't have to worry about doing something with this today.

Even if Cui Ning doesn't have these twists and turns, there will definitely be a lot of people behind her who will remind her.

Cui Ning was temporarily idle after finishing her errand, so she had free time to think about things, and she couldn't help but think deeply from the facts of the case to Xiao Cong's unusual eagerness.

Although she didn't think as deeply as Xiao Cong, she thought about it more or less, so she suddenly understood that the reason why Xiao Cong patiently communicated with herself was not because she really looked down on her, but because she respected her family.

Cui Ning took this matter to heart for the time being, and after returning home in the evening, she went to Cui Xuanbi first.

What Cui Ning didn't expect was that she met an unexpected person in the East Courtyard.

There are few flowers and plants in the east courtyard, and many trees are planted, so it is particularly cool in the summer, and the spread of lush greenery is also very pleasant.

And at this moment, between the grass and trees, the man sat at the stone table and played himself, dressed in a white wide-sleeved robe, his slightly wet black hair hanging loosely behind him, like a knife cutting an axe and chiseling, and he couldn't find a single flaw. Just a silhouette is already so impressive, with such a look and bearing, except for that Tianzun-like cousin, Cui Ning can't think of a second person.

When Cui Ning looked at Xie Yang from afar, he obviously found her as well.

Time has carefully carved Xie Yang, and the time after farewell is not too long, but he has faded most of the young man's youthfulness, the lines are becoming more and more hard, and his bearing is becoming more and more calm.

He looked at her quietly, with little expression on his face, and his eyes seemed to hide ten thousand years of snow.

How could there be such a person in the world? so bright and dazzling, as if one more glance could be burned, but it was so indifferent that people felt that if they got one foot closer, they would be soaked in cold.

Xie Yang has changed a lot, the only thing that remains the same is that he is still like a god looking down on all living beings from above, which makes people dare not blaspheme.

"Don't come unharmed?"

His beautiful voice seemed to be sent to his ears from a distant place, and Cui Ning heard it clearly, but he felt a little ethereal inexplicably.

Table ...... Cousin. Cui Ning leaned over cautiously, "You're back." ”

He said less than before, "Hmm. ”

"I've seen the second lady. The little guy next to him saluted Cui Ning, and then opened his mouth to help him explain, "Lang Jun has been transferred, and he will go to Jiaozhou in a few days." ”

Jiaozhou is in Yunnan, near Nanzhao. Cui Ning thought that there had been a lot of chaos over there recently, and promising young people who wanted to make contributions were willing to take risks, and it was not surprising that Xie Yang wanted to go.

"My cousin has only been out for half a year. Cui Ning asked.

Xie Yang glanced at her lightly, "Although the Xie family has declined, it is not difficult to do this." ”

Cui Ning is in the Cui family and understands the benefits of a deep background, she doesn't doubt the Xie family's ability, but she just thinks that the Xie family is a little too eager, or is Xie Yang too eager to succeed?

She raised her eyes and quietly glanced at the desireless face, denying the possibility of the latter.

The little guy standing next to Xie Yang was secretly happy in his heart, Lang Jun had been immersed in business for half a year, and handled everything very well, although he didn't talk much, but he had great enthusiasm for political affairs, but since the family suddenly arranged for Lang Jun to go to Jiaozhou, he suddenly changed, and the whole person was extremely cold, and sometimes he wouldn't say a word a day.

The little girl was happy on the one hand, thinking that it was a good thing that Lang Jun and Lang Jun could take the initiative to speak in the face of the second lady of the Cui family, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for her own Lang Jun, seeing that the daughter-in-law who could marry her hand was gone!

Cui Ning saw that Xie Yang was dressed casually, and understood that maybe his grandfather had left him at home for a while, "Is grandfather back?"

"Not yet. Xie Yang looked at Cui Ning's official uniform, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, "Talk about a game?"

The Tang Dynasty chess is popular, not only scholars like it, but even noble ladies and ladies take this as a pastime on weekdays, and they will always play a few games when they are idle.

Cui Ning wanted to wait for his grandfather to come back, and he was idle anyway, so he sat down opposite him.

Just like Wei Qian, who many women can't help but want to provoke abstinence, like Xie Yang, who is high above and doesn't eat fireworks in the world, can also stimulate people's desire to explore.

Cui Ning took the lead with great interest.

Just imagine, a Taoist believer is sitting opposite a god, and this god is actually playing chess with himself!

At the beginning, Cui Ning would always wander from time to time, and later found that the situation on the chessboard was controlled by Xie Yang, so he began to eliminate distractions and deal with it without distractions.

When the battle was in full swing, the little guy whispered, "Cui Shangshu is back." ”

Xie Yang's slender fingers pinched a black spot, which seemed to fall on the chessboard casually.

The situation turned around in an instant, and Cui Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes. She hasn't lost yet, but if she continues, I'm afraid it's not far from losing!

It turned out that her all-out strength could only be teased by Xie Yang, he wanted to continue before she could continue, he wanted to end, and she couldn't struggle.

Cui Ning felt frightened for a moment, she didn't dare to say how superb her level was in chess, but at least even against a genius like Cui Jing, she had a chance to win, and the person in front of her completely played her in the palm of her hand! (To be continued.) )
