Chapter 316: Return to the Xiao Family
After leaving the palace, he did not go back to the general sugar factory outside the city, and walked alone and quietly in the direction of the Xiao family.
The people of the entire Jinling City were shocked by the big incident that the Four Seasons Restaurant was smashed by Xiao Yao with a large group of people today, even the people of the Xiao family were no exception, and the person sent out to inquire by Xiao Moke, who was panicked, soon came back to report to him, saying that Xiao Yao had been summoned into the palace by His Majesty and wanted to interrogate Xiao Yao in person, which made Xiao Moke even more frightened and restless.
So when he saw Xiao Yao returning to the Xiao family with a smile on his face, the entire Xiao family was stunned, especially Xiao Shilian, because his mood today can be described as like a roller coaster, with ups and downs!
In the past half a month, because of Xiao Yao's sudden coma, he has been cultivating in the general sugar shop, and Zu Yuan did not tell Xiao Moke about Xiao Yao's specific situation, even Xiao Shilian believed the rumors about Xiao Yao in the market, after all, he also hoped that Xiao Yao could collapse or even die violently, it would be better! So when there were constant rumors that Xiao Yao was seriously ill and critically ill, Xiao Shilian was happy for more than half a month after hearing it!
But today, Xiao Shilian suddenly heard that Xiao Yao had not only recovered from his illness, but also brought a team into the city and gathered in the Four Seasons Restaurant, which made Xiao Shilian's heart tremble, and a bad feeling arose, because Xiao Yao is not a vegetarian master, and he is scheming, insidious and treacherous, he took so many people to the Four Seasons Restaurant, it must be not as simple as drinking and eating!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the latest news about Xiao Yao to come again, and more than a thousand soldiers smashed the famous Four Seasons Restaurant, the former coordinates of Jinling City! This news made Xiao Shilian stunned on the spot, didn't it mean that Xiao Yao was already critically ill, there has been no news of him in the past half a month, even his father didn't know, even if he wanted to go to the general sugar shop in the name of visiting the sick to find out the truth, he was rejected by the fat man without hesitation, so that he really thought that Xiao Yao was about to die of illness as rumored! Unexpectedly, he had been silent for half a month, but now he suddenly thundered on the ground, making such a big noise!
Later, Xiao Shilian heard that even the crown prince Chen Shubao also brought people to the scene, just when Xiao Shilian wanted to show loyalty in front of Chen Shubao and was about to go out to support the scene for Chen Shubao, but he heard that Xiao Yao was summoned into the palace by His Majesty, which made Xiao Shilian feel a little secretly snickering in shock, even His Majesty was shocked, now you are still so arrogant, in broad daylight, in front of everyone's eyes, you dare to ignore the royal law, gather people to smash the Four Seasons Restaurant, Your Majesty is angry, just one sentence will make your head fall to the ground!
But now he saw Xiao Yao standing at the door of his house unharmed, which made Xiao Shilian speechless, making such a big move, smashing such a luxurious and famous Four Seasons Restaurant to a pulp, no one could deal with him, not even His Majesty did anything to him, is there still a royal law, and is there still a heavenly principle?
Seeing Xiao Yao's confident smile again, this made Xiao Shilian feel very uncomfortable, and he could only show the indifference and contempt he was most familiar with to Xiao Yao.
"Why do you all look stupid, what are you all doing standing in front of your house? Is it to greet my home? Now that I'm back safely, why don't you look happy? Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Shilian, who looked like a bitter melon, and said knowingly, compared to the surprised expressions of others, Xiao Yao now knows why Xiao Shilian has a grudge and hatred on his face! It turned out that his righteous brother before was not cold and contemptuous to himself because he looked down on his lowly background, but because he was already a person of the crown prince Chen Shubao and his sworn enemy, he always put on a stinky face towards himself, and his face was full of impatience and hostility!
"Shiro, weren't you summoned into the palace by Your Majesty? How did it come out so quickly? Xiao Moke asked with a surprised face, and then finally reacted, laughed and said: "Haha, I knew that Shiro would definitely be safe, hurry, go and set up a banquet, I want to have a drink with Shiro tonight, and the three of us father and son can finally sit together and drink again!" ”
The people of the Xiao family also became excited, after all, although Xiao Yao was Xiao Moke's righteous son, they had long been flattered and honored by Xiao Yao and regarded Xiao Yao as a real relative, especially this time Xiao Yao because of the rescue of Xiao Moke, who was besieged by tens of thousands of Qi troops, regardless of his own safety, decisively led his troops to the rescue, and finally even fell into Gao Changgong's ambush, which led to the defeat and escape, life and death were uncertain, and he fled alone in Zhou and Qi! This made the entire Xiao family, except for Xiao Shilian, full of respect and admiration for Xiao Yao, so now that they finally saw Xiao Yao return to the Xiao family safely, everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts!
Everyone else was busy preparing a banquet to welcome Xiao Yao home, while Xiao Moke was asking Xiao Yao a long question with a guilty expression: In the past half a year, how did you escape from the pursuit of Qi State, and how did you escape back to Chen State? Why did you suddenly fall ill again as soon as you came back? That guy Zu Yuan even mysteriously took you to the sugar mill for treatment, and we didn't even tell you about the situation! And why did you suddenly appear in Jinling City today, and smashed people's Four Seasons Restaurant, making such a big commotion, even Your Majesty was alarmed, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Soaring Chinese
Xiao Yao also had a relaxed and indifferent expression, and told Xiao Moke and Xiao Shilian in detail about his experience of fleeing for most of the past six months.
"Shiro, you're such a troublemaker, wherever you go, there's trouble! Haha, I really can't imagine that when you were on the run, you could make such a big move in the Zhou Kingdom! You must know that this Yuwenhu is a big man, and in the Zhou Kingdom, he is the powerful and opposition-leaning Otsuka Zai, so he was calculated by you in a daze, I believe that until the moment he died, he didn't know that you were actually the mastermind behind getting rid of him! Xiao Moke said excitedly, after all, as a general of the Chen State, he was also happy to see other countries fall into civil strife because of the struggle for power.
"Actually, I'm just pushing the boat along the water, Yuwen Yong has long had the heart to get rid of Yuwen Hu, my appearance just gave him a little confidence, after all, I can beat the Qi army that has been troubled and invincible by Zhou Guo to the point of being frightened and fled, and now the three words Xiao Shilang are now considered to be a megatron!" Xiao Yao said proudly with a cheeky face, and glanced at Xiao Shilian a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was provoking and demonstrating to him.
"Yes, now I can see that you have made a name for yourself in the military circles and made so many military exploits for the country, and my father-in-law is also very comforted, and it also proves my father-in-law's vision, and it is the most correct thing that my father-in-law did to accept you as a son-in-law in Jiangzhou back then! I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, the stinky boy who followed his master to wander the rivers and lakes in Jiangzhou back then has now grown up and become a general! Xiao Moke said with emotion, then looked at Xiao Yao guiltily, sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "Alas, Shiro, I believe in Wuhua's matter, you already know, my father-in-law knows the relationship between you and Wuhua, but the situation forced us to bow our heads, so Wuhua also voluntarily agreed to His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal, this matter, my father-in-law is very sorry for you!" So when you come back this time, your father-in-law decides to set a family affair for you to make up for your father-in-law's guilt towards you! Hasn't Xu Shangshu's granddaughter always been inseparable from you? Although Xu Shangshu has always valued literature over martial arts, and looks down on us rough people from the military world, and even our Xiao family has offended their Xu family before, but for your sake, my father decided to personally beg Xu Shangshu and ask him to promise to marry his granddaughter to you! And now you are no longer the hairy boy who didn't know etiquette back then, but our Da Chen's mighty general, young and promising, is definitely worthy of his granddaughter! ”
"Things have changed, things are wrong, Wuhua has now become a noble princess, as long as she can live happily, I will also bless her, so how can I complain about my father-in-law, and my father-in-law should not feel guilty about this! As for Miaomiao, I have also promised her that I will propose to Xu Shangshu, and then marry him in a beautiful manner, but there is one thing I still have to tell my father-in-law, that is, I am no longer General Weilie now, and Your Majesty has removed me from office! Now I'm just a grass farmer! Xiao Yao shook his head and said helplessly.
"What? You were removed? What the hell is going on? Is it because you smashed the Four Seasons Restaurant today and annoyed Your Majesty? Xiao Moke said with a shocked expression.
Even Xiao Shilian, who sat on the side and didn't speak, was shocked, revealing a trace of joy: If this Xiao Shilang was really removed by His Majesty, and his father was also deprived of military power by His Majesty before, then now the entire Xiao family, as long as I, Xiao Shilian, am still the general of Chen Guo who holds military power! Haha, now I can finally overpower Xiao Yao!
"Today I smashed the Four Seasons Restaurant for the dignity of our Dachen soldiers, and I don't regret doing this! Therefore, Your Majesty wants me to apologize to this soldier who looks down on us Chen Guo's soldiers and merchants, and I will never agree, so Your Majesty is angry, so he deprives me of the name of General Weilie! But it's okay, anyway, my forward brigade has been defeated and existed in name only, and now that I don't have this military position, I have a heavy burden on my heart! Xiao Yao said that it didn't matter.
"Alas, Shiro, you are so impulsive in this matter, you have just returned to Jinling, and you have made such a big move! But in this matter, you are for the dignity of our Dachen soldiers, and your father-in-law supports you! Over the years, the atmosphere of our Chen country has indeed changed a little, those high-ranking officials and nobles have become like to live those drinking and having fun, extravagant life, many people of insight are becoming more and more unenterprising, not to Kuang Fu Sheji, patriotism and love of the people as their own responsibility, but only bow and flatter, tie up the powerful, the world is declining! Alas, but that's not what our father and son, who were also removed, can worry about! Now our Xiao family is relying on your eldest brother to support the lintel of our Xiao family alone! Xiao Moke was a little helpless and a little self-deprecating, but when it came to Xiao Shilian, he showed a hint of pride, after all, he was his own son!
"The eldest brother has won the trust of His Majesty, and he is also the eldest brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, of course, he can continue to be reused, and the future must be very bright! But the father-in-law doesn't have to be so discouraged, after all, you are now His Majesty's in-laws, His Royal Highness the Prince's father-in-law, I believe that Your Majesty will continue to reuse your father-in-law, who doesn't know that Xiao Moke is our first fierce general in Da Chen! Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Shilian very meaningfully, comforted Xiao Moke and said.
"Haha, now the number one fierce general in Chen Guo is you Xiao Shilang! Although you have been removed from your post by Your Majesty, your father-in-law believes that Your Majesty will soon reuse you, and even if Your Majesty is still angry, I believe that Wu Dudu will speak for you! But what are your plans for this time? Although there is no war between Chen and Qi for the time being, His Majesty's Northern Expedition Holy Order is still there, and you can't just become bald! Xiao Moke admonished like a strict father.
"To be able to come back to Jinling alive, and it is rare to be unofficial and light, of course I want to have a good time, to be honest, my father-in-law reminded me just now, since Chen Guo is now popular and extravagant, then I am ready to launch some new pleasure projects in the general casino, so that these rich gentry are happy, and then make a lot of money on them!" Xiao Yao said with a wicked smile on his face.
On the side, Xiao Moke was already dumbfounded, speechless and angry: Dare to love his words about the country and the people just now were in vain, and sighed that the country's atmosphere is declining, but you, Xiao Shilang, are going to launch more hedonistic projects, are you going to make the people of the entire Chen Kingdom become only greedy for wealth and pleasure and do not care about national affairs?
