If five years ago, or even three years ago, Chen Fei called Xu Jingzong to eat together, this guy would have been so happy that he wouldn't want it.

Because Xu Jingzong had not completed the counterattack of his political career at that time, there were still many places to rely on Chen Fei.

But in the past three years, in order to fight against the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi has also installed some cronies in the court. Among them, there is naturally Xu Jingzong, and now Xu Jingzong has become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which can be described as a transformation, and the old hen has become a duck.

Xu Jingzong knew who gave all this, and he also knew that his weight in His Majesty's heart was far inferior to Chen Fei, so he had always respected Chen Fei, but it was just ...... Some of this guy's ideas are too dangerous! And he always wants to use himself as a gunman, which makes him a little reluctant.

Anyway, he's also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites! In terms of position, he is even higher than Chen Fei, why do you always treat him as a junior brother?

Well, although sometimes it's quite cool to be "used", the two have done a lot of "big things" together. The interests between the two are also tightly tied together, but every time he sees Chen Fei's ill-intentioned smile, he always feels that the chrysanthemum is tight, and there is a strong feeling of unease.

"Your Excellency, do you want to?" Xu Jingzong asked tentatively.

Chen Fei smiled mysteriously: "You guess? ”

Xu Jingzong...... Guess the yarn! If I can guess, why are you asking?

Although Xu Jingzong was reluctant in his heart, he still had to give face, and in the end, he went to Chen Fei's mansion for a banquet.

The two of them ate very simply, a pot of wine and a few side dishes. After three glasses of wine, Chen Fei went straight to the point.

"Lord Xu, what do you think of Fang Yiai's rebellion?"

Xu Jingzong secretly sighed that it was really because of this matter, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, the rebellion case has too much to do with it, if Fang Yiai really has the intention of rebellion, wouldn't we be able to defend him?" ”

"But I've defended them." Chen Fei pointed to himself and said calmly.

Xu Jingzong's smile froze, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "My lord is a little impulsive today, the court should not defend Fang Yiai, no matter whether the matter is true or not, it is easy to fall into passivity, before the matter is clear, I will sit on the wall and watch the matter to see how things develop." ”

"Hehe, I naturally know this truth. But have you thought about it, why did Fang Yizhi suddenly betray his younger brother and accuse him of intent to rebel? ”

"This ...... It seems that it is because the relationship between the two brothers is not very good, right? I heard that Fang Yiai has taken away the property of the house and squeezed out the house, and the two brothers have a big conflict because of this, could it be because of this that the two will fight endlessly? Xu Jingzong guessed.

Chen Fei smiled and shook his head, "Lord Xu only saw the surface, but he didn't see the essence. Does Lord Xu know about my relationship with Princess Gaoyang? ”

Relationship? What is your relationship with Princess Goyang? Xu Jingzong was stunned, looking at Chen Fei's eyes full of incredulity.

"Lord Xu, please keep your eyes pure, I met Princess Gaoyang when I was young, at that time, I, Linchuan, Gaoyang, and Li Zhi often played together, and the relationship was extraordinary, but it stopped at etiquette, please be pure in thought."

Xu Jingzong smiled, well, let's just assume that what Chen Fei said is true.

"Alas!" Chen Fei sighed helplessly and said: "The Qing is self-purifying, and I am too lazy to explain anything, but please pay attention to Lord Xu, I have a good relationship with Gao Yang, if I sit on the house and Gao Yang rebels, then will some people pull the finger at me?" You know, I have a weapon as sharp as Thunderbolt, and if I am accused of rebellion, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Xu Jingzong was taken aback, and said dumbly: "You mean ......?"

"If you think about it carefully, with Fang Zhizhi's straight character, he is as weak and incompetent as his younger brother, how could he suddenly stand up and report his younger brother at this moment? Isn't there anyone behind this? Once he confirms that Fang Yiai intends to rebel, then will the person who instructed him behind him point the finger at me? Even if Your Majesty trusts me again, it will inevitably leave a pimple in my heart, do you think I should stand up today to protect my love? ”

After Chen Fei finished speaking, Xu Jingzong's face had become quite ugly, although Chen Fei did not say who was behind the instigation, but with Xu Jingzong's IQ, how could he not guess?

If Chen Fei didn't stand up today, it would be really dangerous when the contradictions pointed at him in the future! Not only Chen Fei is in danger, but the officials of the alliance who rely on Chen Fei will be in danger.

With the means of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is light not to kill you. Politics is so cruel and so helpless!

"That'...... How do we do that? Xu Jingzong was a little panicked, he knew that if he hadn't hugged Chen Fei's thigh, he wouldn't have the ability to compete with the Eldest Sun Sect now, so Chen Fei couldn't be fine! He can't be okay either!

"Hehe, Lord Xu doesn't have to be nervous, just now, I have come up with a clever plan, not only can I turn danger into relief, but also can turn defeat into victory, maybe I can directly defeat the Changsun faction, but ...... Need a little help from you. ”

"A little help? The adult laughed, as long as the adult needs it, Xu should do his best. Said so, but Xu Jingzong's laughter was more ugly than crying. I already knew that this was a Hongmen banquet, look, I guessed it right!

"Hehe, since the opponent wants to yin us, we might as well plan and counter the yin opponent in a wave, how about it?"

…………

Late at night, in the cold temperature, only Wu Hou, who was on duty or patrolling the streets, shivered in the cold wind and swayed listlessly on the street.

The temperature is terrible low, and the patrolmen are just wandering around the streets, and the face is over. Besides, the ghost weather is so cold, who would run out of the country without anything? Hurry up and find a corner to huddle together to keep warm.

On Suzaku Street, the cold wind blew directly, and the dignitaries and nobles who lived on the street rested early, and the whole street was dark.

On the first watch, two black shadows suddenly flashed on the wall of Chen's mansion. Like ghosts, two black shadows flickered on the walls and the street hills, and then disappeared completely.

It was as if no one had ever been on the street, and the cold wind was howling and there was no trace left.

A moment later, in the upper backyard of the Liang Guogong Mansion at the other end of Suzaku Street, outside the house where Fang Zhizhi was straight, two black shadows fell vigilantly in the courtyard, and the petite man in black blew smoke into the house, and after the smoke dissipated, she pushed the door and quietly walked in, and came out again after a while.

The other person found a corner in the yard, took out a small shovel and dug it up. After a while, a small pit was dug. Then, the man in black took out a box about five inches long, carefully put it in, and covered it with dirt.

After doing all this, the two looked at each other and quickly left......
