Chapter 167: Pacify

In the evening, the sky was filled with fiery red clouds, as if it was about to burn all the evils.

The meteor stood outside the house, little by little, as if the person was about to fall down in the next second, and it was terrifying to watch, and there was a thin conversation in the room behind the meteor.

Hang Yidong was very surprised when he heard Xiao Hao talk about the emperor's punishment for the second prince: "The second prince has committed so many crimes, just fornicating with foreign enemies is already a great crime, why just send him to guard the imperial mausoleum, isn't Your Majesty pursuing it?" "Not to mention, this time it was also found that the second prince embezzled disaster relief money and grain, resulting in the northwest not getting much supplies at all, so the northwest died so many people in this disaster.

Hang Yidong is about to be angry, how many sins have the people in the northwest suffered because of famine and because of the Beimu Iron Cavalry? How much did you suffer? The emperor actually sent the second prince to the imperial tomb lightly, and he did not receive any substantial punishment at all.

Xiao Hao's face was flat, and he poured a cup of tea for Hang Yidong: "Drink some tea and get off the fire." ”

Hang Yidong directly picked up the green tea on the table and drank it all, but she only felt that she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and threw the cup on the table: "Another cup!" ”

Xiao Hao looked at Hang Yidong's angry appearance, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Why are you so angry, beware of being angry." Xiao Hao's slender fingers picked up the teapot, and the tea poured down the mouth and poured into the teacup.

Xiao Hao picked up the teacup and handed it to Hang Yidong, Hang Yidong drank it all again, only then did he feel that his heart was a little smoother, and he said sullenly: "I just didn't expect that Your Majesty would be so disregarding the lives and safety of the people." ”

When Xiao Hao heard this, his eyes sank: "In the eyes of our majesty, I'm afraid there is only him." ”

On the other side, the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince sat alone at the table, the room was dead silent, and the second prince's delicate face was full of violent and vicious looks, which ruined his originally gentle countenance.

The second prince really felt that he was really finished today. Early in the morning, all the things he had done for his own interests were exposed, the evidence was conclusive, and there was no irreparable situation, facing the questioning eyes of his father and the angry eyes of the ministers, the second prince only felt a panic.

It wasn't until his father ordered him to guard the imperial tomb that the second prince knew that his general trend had gone, and he could only accept everything weakly.

But he was unwilling, obviously he was so close to that position, so close that as long as he stretched out his hand, he could take him off, but in the current situation, he no longer had this opportunity.

The second prince slammed his hand against the table fiercely, his fingertips turning white from the clenching.

After a long while, the second prince slowly raised his head, revealing an indifferent and cruel look like a poisonous snake, as if he could still hear the "hissing" sound of the poisonous snake.

Don't let me get my chance, or I'll leave you dead without a place to bury.

On this side, Xiao Hao coaxed for a long time before he finally coaxed Hang Yidong to be happy, just as Xiao Hao was about to go to the study to deal with some things, the housekeeper hurriedly walked in and said to Xiao Hao: "The head of the family, the general of Dingguo is here." ”

Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then said to the housekeeper: "I know, let's take someone to the study." ”

When General Dingguo walked into the study, Xiao Hao was already sitting on a chair waiting for someone, Xiao Hao saw General Dingguo, stood up unhurriedly, and shouted in a low voice: "Father." ”

General Dingguo took two steps forward, carefully examined Xiao Hao's face and body, and then patted Xiao Hao's shoulder vigorously and said, "I have become thinner, but I have also become mature." "Don't ask why General Dingguo would say such a thing, because Xiao Hao has been staying in Hangzhou Mansion since he came back, and because he was going to hand over the prisoners and enter the palace to participate in the celebration banquet, he never found time to go back to the Dingguo General's Mansion to meet his parents.

Xiao Hao felt that if he didn't go back, Xiao Qin would be quite happy.

Xiao Hao raised his head and smiled at General Dingguo: "Sit down, father." ”

After the two sat down, General Dingguo said to Xiao Hao: "Although you went to the northwest, but I will also send people to the northwest from time to time to inquire about the news, this time you did a good job, not only did not leave a chance for the enemy, but even our spies were handled cleanly, Hao'er, you are very good." ”

Xiao Hao heard the words of General Dingguo, and for some reason, an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

Maybe it's because Xiao Hao grew up with Grandma Wen since she was a child, maybe Grandma Wen has made up for Xiao Hao's regret of not having a mother to a certain extent, but in Xiao Hao's more than 20 years of life, she has not been accompanied by the role of her father.

Therefore, after coming back, even if he was not used to the excessive concern of the wife of the general of Dingguo, Xiao Hao still went to the mansion of the general of Dingguo every day to practice martial arts with his father.

Now, he has been praised and recognized by his father, and a strange sense of satisfaction rises in his heart, and the tip of his nose is slightly sour.

Xiao Hao poured a cup of tea for General Guoda, and respectfully put the tea in front of him with both hands: "It's nothing, it's all what I should do, if you really want to talk about merit, Dong'er is the one who deserves the most reward, after all, if it weren't for her, I might not be in this world anymore." ”

In the final battle, General Dingguo also heard about it, and it was Hang Yidong who brought in time to bring in the rescuers to completely suppress the Beimu family, not to mention, she also made so many contributions during that time in the northwest.

Immediately, General Dingguo thought of his wife again, and he sighed softly: "She is a good one, you have to treat others well, don't let it down." ”

In fact, from the fact that the general of Dingguo only married his wife, and she has been the only one for so many years, and she has not even had half a concubine, you can know that they are in the Xiao family, and they are in love.

Xiao Hao nodded slightly: "I know." ”

Then, there was silence in the study, and silence began.

It was Xiao Hao who opened the conversation first: "Father, Dong'er and I may go back to the Dingguo General's Mansion to live for a while." This is...... Your Majesty's meaning. ”

General Dingguo was still very happy to hear Xiao Hao's first half of the sentence, after all, Xiao Hao hadn't stayed in the Dingguo General's Mansion for long since he was found, and Hang Yidong had never officially been at his door, and now he heard him say that he was going to take his daughter-in-law back to live for a while, and General Dingguo only felt happy.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the eyes of the general Dingguo, who had not had time to be happy, froze, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and then replied: "Father knows, when the time comes, you can take Dong'er directly to the door, and I will instruct the housekeeper to take care of you." ”

"Yes, the boy knows."

Xiao Hao completely saw the process of the change in the expression of the general of Dingguo, which made Xiao Hao wonder, didn't he say that the relationship between his father and the emperor was very good? Why did my father's face change so obviously when he mentioned the emperor? Is there anything he doesn't know? Or is it ...... Because of the incident when he was taken away?

Xiao Hao couldn't help but start thinking, with the identity and strength of the general of Dingguo, it would not be easy to find a lost child? But why is it that in addition to the fact that the Dingguo General's Mansion has been looking for it for the past two years, it seems that it has directly given up looking for it later? Did they already know who the culprit was at that time?

Xiao Hao really wanted to know if General Dingguo knew who was secretly ruthless, but after knowing it, he found that the murderer behind it was someone more powerful than him, so he chose to let himself grow up in the countryside.

Looking at the condensed expression of General Dingguo, Xiao Hao was ruthless: "Father, I want to ask you something." ”

When General Dingguo heard that his son had something to ask, he immediately threw out the unpleasant things in his mind, and looked at Xiao Hao gently: "You ask." It's just that his face is full of beard, and he really can't see any gentleness.

"I want to ask about me being taken away."

Xiao Hao immediately saw the face of General Dingguo's face change, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you when you came back?" It's my father's fault, because when I was young, I didn't know how to restrain and offended many people, and they wanted revenge, so I took you away when I was less than a year old. ”

Listening to General Dingguo's rhetoric, a nameless fire suddenly appeared in Xiao Hao's heart, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at General Dingguo with suppressed eyes: "But father, haven't you and Lord Song been friends since they were young?" Two days before I was taken away, you were still drinking tea and chatting together, when did you offend Lord Song? In a dream? ”

As soon as General Dingguo heard Xiao Hao mention Lord Song, his eyes suddenly became incredulous, and then the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and his originally neutral voice became a little dim: "It turns out that you know everything." ”

Then, General Dingguo raised his head, stared at Xiao Hao with a pair of majestic eyes, and said in a deep voice: "But this matter has passed, no matter where you find out, stop me now, don't investigate further." ”、

Facing the coercion of the Dingguo General, Xiao Hao didn't answer, just stared straight at him, silently resisting.

Looking at Xiao Hao's wolf-like fearless eyes, General Dingguo didn't have the slightest soft-hearted appearance, but said: "I don't care if you listen to it or not, in short, I will watch you in the coming days, don't let me find out that you have traces of this matter again, if you continue to investigate, it will not do you any good, but it will hurt you." ”

"Okay, today's time is almost up, I'll leave first, and let the housekeeper take you when I come back." After speaking, General Dingguo strode out of the study.

Only Xiao Hao, who had a cold face, was left.
