Bump—"

A crisp sound suddenly exploded in the hall, and tea and broken porcelain mixed together and flew in all directions. Many of them fell at Xiao Chumo's feet, wetting a corner of his good clothes.

However, he didn't care, he didn't even look down at the corner of his clothes, just looked at Situ Ye who was suddenly in trouble with a smile.

At this time, such a gaze falling in Situ Ye's eyes is obviously a naked provocation. As if to tell him: I just want to scold you, what can you do with me?

Since embarking on the evil path, Situ Ye's temperament has long become cloudy and eccentric. He had already been slapped in the face by Xiao Chumo's actions yesterday, and now that he was provoked like this, how could he still endure it?

As the teacup was thrown to the ground by him, he finally couldn't continue to calm down, so he jumped up from the chair directly, pointed at Xiao Chumo's nose and began to scold. At this time, no matter from his actions or words, he is like the kind of madman wandering around on the street, where is there still a trace of the image of a handsome boy in the past?

"Xiao Chumo, don't deceive people too much! Right now, you're just an empty shell with a regent, and I see how long you can be satisfied!" Instead of accusing me here, you might as well worry more about your son's safety! ”

Situ Ye shouted angrily, and when he said the last word, he directly felt something from his arms and threw it on top of the pile of broken porcelain.

Xiao Chumo's gaze subconsciously moved over, and he saw the appearance of the thing clearly.

It was a long-lived lock made of sterling silver, exquisitely crafted, and inlaid with a piece of jade. It was not long after they got Xiaodouding back, Yu Panxi specially ordered someone to build it, and they always let Xiaodouding carry it with them on weekdays.

Only now, it appeared in Situ Ye's hands, and what happened in it is self-evident.

The little smile on Xiao Chumo's face that was still there disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a flash of panic: "Are you threatening this king?" ”

Originally, Situ Ye's eyes had been staring at him, and naturally he didn't let go of the panic that he had never seen on Xiao Chumo's face. At this time, when I heard his murderous words, I didn't feel terrible at all, but I was a little proud.

"No, no, no, how can this be considered a threat? It's just that I saw that Xiao Shizi was cute, and I couldn't help but want to get close, so I sent a lot of guards to play games with him. ”

Probably because he thought that he had finally caught Xiao Chumo's weakness, Situ Ye was in a good mood, and he started to say some superficial polite words to the latter again, but in fact, he was showing off his might for catching Xiao Douding. With such a smug smile, it was as if the person who had just smashed something in anger was not him.

Seeing Xiao Chumo's eyes staring at him fiercely, he seemed to want to eat him alive. Situ Ye sneered, and reminded again: "Xiao Chumo, I advise you to be honest now, otherwise I dare not guarantee that your son will have any accidents!" ”

Threats, naked threats!

But no matter how much unwillingness there was on his face, for the safety of Xiao Douding, Xiao Chumo could only endure it for the time being, and said with some gritted teeth: "You sent someone to guard Xiao Douding, but you didn't arrest him directly, presumably because you didn't want to attack the palace so soon." Say, what do you want? ”

Yesterday, those officers and soldiers had already come to this regent palace for a while, but it was a pity that they did not bring back what Situ Ye wanted, otherwise the latter would not have been provoked by him so easily, and did not hesitate to come here to threaten himself in person.

The strange smile on the corner of Situ Ye's mouth widened, and seeing that Xiao Chumo didn't dare to act rashly anymore, he sat down again with a hint of satisfaction. Then he took the latter's words.

"It's really effortless to talk to smart people. In fact, I don't want anything else, as long as you hand over the Xingtian Sword in your hand, I guarantee that Xiao Shizi will return to the palace unscathed, and even erase the princess's wanted notice. ”

I have to say that although this Situ Ye is not on the right path, this way of speaking and scheming has taught his father Situ Qin ten out of ten! Even if the current situation was that he had suppressed Xiao Chumo, and even began to discuss the conditions, when he spoke, he still did not forget to add threats and temptations.

Xiao Douding's life, and Yu Panxi's reputation. As long as Xiao Chumo nods, these are not problems, and they can even relieve the current crisis in the Regent's Mansion.

A sword to exchange for the innocence of the entire palace. If Yu Panxi's suspicions are cleared, those rumors that are not good for the regent palace will naturally disperse.

Such a good thing, no matter who it is put on, must not be refused. Even Xiao Chumo's face began to have a thoughtful look, as if he was really considering Situ Ye's quid pro quo.

"Well, isn't my proposal a good idea? Xingtian is just a sword, so what's wrong with giving it to me? ”

Situ Ye laughed very excitedly, and couldn't help but persuade loudly. It's just that the expression on his face is a little too greedy, but people can't help but wonder if he is trying to trick Xiao Chumo into agreeing to his quid pro quo.

However, just when everyone thought that Xiao Chumo was about to agree, he seemed to have made some important decision, and suddenly opened his mouth: "You want to punish the heavens, but because it can be a help for you to compete for the throne." The Xiao family has taken it as their responsibility to protect the Ning Kingdom for generations, and I will never let the throne fall into the hands of someone like you with my own selfish desires! ”

In the last sentence, he said it impassionedly. Even the old butler standing behind him looked shocked by his words.

He knew that this must be a dilemma for his prince. In fact, he originally thought that the latter would choose to save Xiao Shizi, after all, he also knew how favored Xiao Shizi was on weekdays. And Xingtian is just a sword no matter how you say it, if it's gone, you can find a way to get it back.

But Xiao Chumo has been fighting for the peace of Ning Guo for several years, and now he has finally settled down. If today's move can really make this Situ Ye get the throne, I am afraid that there will be another Mo Baozhou!

The housekeeper was completely able to understand Xiao Chumo's difficulties, but he didn't expect that he would directly choose to protect the peace of Ning Guo.

"But the prince, that little prince ......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing whether he should persuade or not.

But before his words could be fully spoken, Situ Ye over there couldn't bear it anymore, his face sank, and he rushed up directly, his voice was as cold as a poisonous snake: "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink!" In that case, I'll take it myself! ”
