Chapter 548: Resolving Grievances
readx;?“ So since Anan thinks so, let's start today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for these discussions, we can also directly use pen and paper to communicate with each other. Xiao Shengxia thought about it for a while, and actually gave me such an answer sheet. I hesitated for a moment, and finally slapped my face in the face to replace Fang Cai's imposing words.
"Forget about the correspondence, if I am allowed to chew words with a pen all day long, it is better to spend most of my life. Let me be clear, we can still get along as allies. It's just that sometimes, for example, in private matters, the distance between us can be maintained a little bit. ”
After saying this text, I obviously felt that my confidence had plummeted a lot. It seems that if you want to return to the bridge and return to the bridge with him clearly, you still need some preliminary preparations.
"Okay, now go back to the room, we can talk about today's meeting." Xiao Shengxia said with a clear attitude, and then caught up with the pace and came to my side. At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking that this was the right thing to do, my back straightened a lot.
We entered the room and sat down on either side of the table. Xiao Shengxia spoke at the same time as me, and the tacit understanding was surprisingly consistent. I politely and humbly let him speak first, and he also excused himself. "Okay, okay, I'll just say it." I had no intention of continuing the stalemate, so I accepted his excuses.
"I want to ask you, what do you think of Emperor Xiao's actions today?" As soon as I finished asking this question, I saw that Xiao Shengxia's face was much faster, was there anything inconvenient for him to answer this topic?
I was confused, and I was kind enough to stop pestering, but just as I was about to shut up, his answer came to my ears belatedly. "I think he behaved like a helpless old man today." Xiao Shengxia calmly analyzed.
"Huh? How do you have such a view, where do you see his helplessness? "I deliberately pretended to be ignorant, but in fact, I had the idea of using more of his heartfelt words in my heart." This is obvious, first of all, he heard you say that the determination of the dragon qi requires the appearance of all the princes present. Then there was the slight tremor in his fingers when he knew that the owner of the dragon qi was distributed among the three of us. ”
"Finally, it was the hands of the ninth brother who had nowhere to put when he died." Xiao Shengxia's analysis is thorough, but it is still missing the most critical one. I thought about it, but I was going to follow his words and complete the last one.
"Actually, I think the moment when he was most flustered was when I transferred your dragon energy to him." When Xiao Shengxia heard this, he suddenly fell into a bottomless silence. "Okay, let's not talk about that, you're done with your question, and I'll answer it. So when you ask for an exchange, should you also answer my question? Xiao Shengxia was silent for a long time, and finally turned his eyes away and tried to change the topic.
"Well, I'll answer your question naturally. But what I sincerely hope is that you don't choose to avoid it. Since you treat me as a friend, you're always hidden. Sooner or later, there should be a proper explanation for what is between you and your Father. I held it with him with an easy-to-understand truth, and Xiao Shengxia frowned slightly, and the meaning of avoiding it was still eye-catching.
"Okay, if there's anything else you want to ask, just make it clear at once. What the hell is trying to tell me that he is now in the bitter hatred he committed back then? Or do you want to tell me that now I should accept all these so-called amends of him with a flattering smile? Xiao Shengxia's emotions became violent in vain, and his words choked me speechless.
Indeed, what position do I have to meddle in other people's affairs? What good position do I have to reconcile the contradictions that this father and son have accumulated over so many years? I didn't say much, just quietly listened to Xiao Shengxia's almost uncontrollable catharsis, this matter was inadvertently provoked by me, and I should bear the responsibility of extinguishing him.
I silently got up and walked to the desk, picked up the brush that was not easy to manipulate, fortunately, I had Jin'er's book ** in my body, and the handwriting was barely read. I put pen to paper, and finally wrote down everything I wanted to say on paper. At this time, the cacophony of words may make his mind more upset, and what I can do is to minimize his temper.
"Well, look, if you think what I've written is still reasonable, just put it away and think about it when you're emotionally struggling. Of course, if you think I'm just writing the same nonsense, you can turn it into a scrap of paper and forget about it. With that, I reached out and handed him the undried paper.
He first glanced at me coldly, then looked at me for a long time before taking the note with determination. He scrutinized it carefully, his brow furrowed at first, and then gradually relaxed.
My mind slowly changed as his expression changed. And when I saw him clutching the paper very tightly, my heart seemed to be scratched by sharp claws. The note was about to turn into a pile of waste paper in his hand, and I didn't have the heart to die immediately. Since the matter has not yet been revealed, that second of waiting is not superfluous.
"Do you think you're going to be able to convince me by what you've written?" Xiao Shengxia suddenly grabbed my shoulders and asked. I shook my head, I couldn't say a complete sentence, common sense once told us that if you are facing a "madman" who is emotionally out of control, what you have to do is to appear more sober than him, and have a calmer attitude towards things than him.
Do you think that the estrangement between me and that person for many years will gradually disappear because of your sentence "people are always changing"? He was still emotionally asked, and I just kept shaking my head and waving my head in a daze. Do you think you'll really be able to see the two of us together like normal father and son in your lifetime? I nodded, agreeing with the last point he had made.
Xiao Shengxia was obviously surprised by my nodding move. His handsome eyebrows suddenly frowned, and the teeth of the jade japonica white dew seemed to make a cutting sound. "What are you doing, you...... You're not trying to punch me, are you? I'm an old man now. I said a little embarrassed, and then I saw a body pressing heavily against me.
This picture is a bit weird, the two old men seem to be hugging each other, this, what the hell is this? I was so depressed that I hurriedly started pushing him. "Congratulations, you got the other questions wrong, but you got the last question right. I'm really willing to take this step now because of your words, and try to accept his kindness! Xiao Shengxia's deep voice echoed in my ears, and it made me forget that I wanted to push him away.
"Well, as you said, I'll keep this piece of paper you wrote. And it stands to reason that it's time for you to answer my questions? Xiao Shengxia let go of me, and the look between his eyebrows became much brighter. I pressed my aching shoulder, which he jerked, and nodded my head with relief.
If there is any instrument here that can record the picture, then I look at Xiao Shengxia with the appearance of an old man, and I have a kind of meaning of "my son has just grown up".
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" I offered him the opportunity to ask questions, even as a celebration of the little progress in their father-son relationship.
Seeing such a generous right to ask questions, Xiao Shengxia didn't seem particularly happy. He looked sideways for a moment, and then said slowly, "Actually, what I want to ask is not so important now. ”
Such a sentence extinguished all my interest at once, and I became cheeky, and then asked what was the question he wanted to ask?
"It's really an irrelevant question, I just want to ask why the three of them are accompanied by dragon energy, but the Holy Lord finally decided to take them away and choose me as a candidate?" Xiao Shengxia asked, the confusion in his eyes was also obvious. But I don't believe that he doesn't have an accurate answer in his mind.
"You tell me honestly, don't you really know the answer to this question? Of his three sons, you may feel that you are the most likely to take on the throne in the future. "I said it truthfully, and I guessed Emperor Xiao's mind like this in my heart.
"Huh? Is it me? Isn't it more suitable to judge according to the rules, shouldn't it be Eleven, after all, he likes him so much. Xiao Shengxia refuted my thoughts, thinking that there was still an inferiority complex in a corner of his heart.
"Indeed, in terms of the degree of liking, Eleven may be more liking than you. But national affairs are not child's play, and the candidate for the throne cannot be rash. What Emperor Xiao considered must be the comprehensive conditions of all aspects, rather than the likes or dislikes of the simple arguments in your mouth. ”
"Oh? Is this what he told you, and he really thinks I have that ability? Xiao Shengxia is still skeptical of my words, it seems that if the father and son can get along with each other without suspicion, they still have to make a little effort.
"You don't care what he thinks of you, what about yourself? Do you have doubts about your own abilities? The Xiao Shengxia I know has always been an arrogant master~" I teased him with a cold face and a little force, but I saw a look of "ambition" in his eyes.
It seems that he is really the emperor's choice, and he was not deceived by Emperor Xiao with a few words of persuasion from me. I was thinking about it in a daze, and my eyes were a little blank. Xiao Shengxia interrupted my words with a remark, and then made it clear that he was absolutely confident in his ambition to be a king. Seeing that he was full of energy, not as gloomy as before, my heart felt better.
"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you." As soon as Xiao Shengxia spoke, I felt that something was wrong, and the things he asked next would definitely make it a little difficult for me to answer. I was apprehensive, and then I looked at him fixedly, waiting for him to speak, looking at his expression, it should be a little difficult to speak.
"You better say, you see I'm ready to listen, if you don't say it at this time, you won't be able to find me such a good listener in the future." I was convincing him, and at the same time I was cheering myself on. If he doesn't say anything clearly, if he is involved in these things in the future, he will probably frame me for "deliberate deception".
"Okay, if you let me say it, I'll say it, when I took out the dragon qi in my body today, this king felt as if a gap had been pulled out of his heart, I don't know what bad consequences this situation has?" Xiao Shengxia asked, sure enough, it verified my bad premonition. This physical condition is really a little astringent.
"Uh, this should be fine, isn't the dragon qi just the breath to put it bluntly, there will be endless breath between your breaths, and it's okay if it's a little less." My gaze avoided him, and my words could go as far as I could, and as for the true state of his physical condition, it was better to keep him in place.
"You can't deceive people with your eyes, I'm in trouble, and it's serious, isn't it?" Xiao Shengxia punctured the lies I had compiled before, and I couldn't continue to continue the lies with confidence. "Yes, that's right, your body is indeed depleted, and this effect is not light, if you practice martial arts in the future, your original ability and talent may be weakened a lot. And your body will gradually feel weak, and you will not be as energetic as usual. ”
I told him roughly about the impact of the dragon qi reduction, Xiao Shengxia just nodded frequently, but his expression did not reveal his mood. "Well, it's okay, it's not serious, it's worth it." He said this analytically, and I was surprised by the ease of his tone.
"What, you may not be able to practice a good kung fu in the future, eh, this is not serious?" I asked, but I felt sorry for him. "What is this, if it is really shallow force, isn't there still you by your side?" After he said this, his affectionate eyes pressed towards me again, and I quickly avoided them, so as not to be troubled.
"Hehe, me? I'm your friend, but I'm not your bodyguard. But don't worry, I might be able to find a way to protect yourself? Xiao Shengxia smiled, and temporarily agreed with my statement. Okay, that's all for today, I'll go back to my study. Don't wait for me when it's time for dinner. Xiao Shengxia's words changed slightly, and he expressed his intention to retire, and I nodded and didn't stay longer.
Today, after all, he has lost a brother, even if that brother used to make things difficult and ridiculed him when he was alive. But after all, it comes from the same biological father, so presumably the sentimentality in his heart is also somewhat existing. I sent him off and began to think back to what had happened recently.
The sudden death of the Nine Emperor Princes, Emperor Xiao's choice of the throne, and the fate entanglement of Xiao Rui, Eleven, Xiao Shengxia and others. Today's events will eventually turn into an annual drama, and I don't have any ability to reverse all of this...... (To be continued.) )
