Xue Kegou has been in the court for so many years, and he has experienced everything, and it is no longer accurate to describe him as "like a ghost". What kind of pattern and situation the court is today, Xue Kegou can see it clearly if he is not a fool. Today, when he saw Xue Shao, Xue Yi and Princess Taiping, such a "huge" lineup coming to visit, he already knew their intentions.

Xue Ke thought to himself, the current situation, to put it nicely, is called "warm invitation"; To put it mildly, it can also be called "salute before soldiers". The judges of the pastoral courtyard can follow Xue Shao's call at any time, and if they really want to clean up a little old man like me, who is not high in power or weight, it is even easier than pinching an ant to death! - Then again, they've already given me enough face, so how can I not know what's wrong?

As a result, Xue Kegou's "lobbying" work was carried out quite easily. The little old man agreed without hesitation, which once surprised Xue Yi - could it be that the people of my Xue clan already have no attachment to Li Tang?

When he left Xue Ke's mansion, Xue Yi's expression was quite lonely. But it's not because he has shattered any illusions, but because he suddenly realizes that he is really too old and stubborn?

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Xue Shao noticed that Xue Yi was in a little wrong mood, and stepped forward to ask.

Xue Yi sighed and whispered, "I didn't expect that a respected clan elder like Xue Kegou would agree so simply. Everyone is seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, choosing trees to live in...... Wasn't I really too naïve and ignorant before, so that I had long since detached myself from reality and been abandoned by most people? ”

"Big brother, you're thinking too much." Xue Shao smiled, "Don't look at Xue Kegou's promise very simply, but he won't tell us how much he struggles in his heart." As you can see today, a pastoral judge was so scared that he almost hanged himself, which is enough to see that the thoughts and pressure he carries in his heart may not be less than that of his eldest brother. ”

"So, if it weren't for our invitation this time, he would have been hesitant and hesitant?" Xue Yi asked.

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "I have never had an ear to be truly persuaded by a mouth." The decision, in fact, has long existed in Xue Kegou's heart, and we just played a role of promotion and inducement. In other words, our visit was like the last straw that crushed the camel's back! ”

Princess Taiping interjected, "The husband is right. There is a lot of hesitation and hesitation, and it often only takes an opportunity to make a final decision. In the final analysis, it is because the 'thoughts' are already in one's heart. When an external trigger happens to coincide with this idea, the decision will become very easy! ”

Xue Shao looked at Princess Taiping and smiled slightly, "The princess is really wise!" ”

"Learn from the colt!" Princess Taiping grinned.

Xue Yi looked at the two of them left and right, and his expression became stunned, "You two are really a natural pair, and now even the tone of speech has become exactly the same!" ”

Later, the group passed by the south end of the Tianjin Bridge, Xue Yi was about to go home south, and the home of Xue Shao and his wife was on the north side of the bridge.

"Big brother, let's leave it at that." Xue Shao stroked Xue Yi's back and whispered, "Don't forget what you promised your little brother." It is a matter of life and death and the safety of the whole family, and the eldest brother must not hesitate again. ”

Xue Yi nodded with a smile, "You're right, you've never had an ear to be really persuaded by a mouth." Now my eldest brother has to admit that in fact, all kinds of thoughts once existed in my heart. But if it weren't for Erlang you, I really don't know what choice I would make for my brother! ”

Obedient and listening, Xue Shao immediately caught the loophole in his words, and whispered: "Could it be that Li Wen and those people came to you again?" ”

Xue Yi was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded, "It's here." But I've promised you before that I won't have a personal relationship with you. So I avoided it all. ”

A chill of fear suddenly rose in Xue Shao's heart - if it weren't for my repeated persuasion and persuasion, the eldest brother would really make another choice because of the incentive of "Li Wen", so as to repeat the mistakes of history!

"Jiro rest assured. Now that my brother has made up his mind, there will be no more hesitation and hesitation. Xue Yi smiled calmly, "In hindsight, I realized how short-sighted and ignorant I was before—if I didn't believe in my own brothers, should I still trust those scheming outsiders?" ”

Xue Shao let out a long breath, "Big brother, I'm relieved if you're like this." If Li Wen's people come to you again......"

"Then you should ask the pastoral house to send a few more people, and keep an eye on my house day and night." Xue Yi smiled, "Presumably, Li Wen and the others don't dare to come again." ”

Xue Shao suddenly smiled, "This is a good way!" ”

"Let's do something expedient!" Xue Yi also nodded and smiled, and then said, "If Brother Xue and Xue Lao can lead the well-known clansmen of the Xue clan in Fenyin as soon as possible, and jointly write a letter to support the Queen Mother's early throne, then it will be the time when the hidden dangers of the people's hearts will be eliminated!" ”

"Yes." Xue Shao nodded, "In this way, it's going to be hard brother!" ”

"Leave it to me!" Xue Yi sighed and smiled bitterly, "Over the years, you've done enough. I am a brother, but I have been sitting back and enjoying your light. Now it's time for me to do what I can for our family. ”

"Big brother, don't say that. Our parents went early, if it weren't for you and my sister-in-law who raised me and my third brother with hard work, we might have died a long time ago, where did we come from today? Saying that, Xue Shao picked up Xue Yi's left hand with one finger cut off, and said softly: "I will never forget the time when the eldest brother cut off this finger to make medicine for me." Nine-Fingered Xue Hou...... Your second brother has devoted all his life to it, and he can't repay your kindness! ”

Xue Yi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he suddenly turned around and left, waving his hand with his back to Xue Shao, "Go for my brother, you don't have to send it off!" ”

Xue Shao stared at the back of his eldest brother, and suddenly felt that his eldest brother, who was only fifteen years older than him, was so old. The pain and struggle of living in exile with his family in those years had almost exhausted his youth and hard work. In order to take care of his two younger brothers to grow up, he devoted all his energy to ...... It's time for me to take care of him in turn!

Later, Xue Shao and his wife returned home. Before he sat down to drink a cup of tea, Zhu Bajie told Xue Shao that Sima Chengzhen was still at home!

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, "He's quite patient." ”

"That's a bull's nose!" Zhu Bajie said in surprise, "I told him that the concubine and the princess would not return to the house for a short time due to business, so he decided to stay in the mansion and wait for you to come back." The villain arranged a room and meals for him, but he didn't want them all, but only found a big stone in the willow forest in the backyard, closed his eyes and sat on the stone. I didn't drink or eat like this, and I didn't move for two days and one night! ”

Xue Shao suddenly remembered what Xuan Yunzi had said, and involuntarily read it out: "Meat eaters are brave and fierce, grain eaters are wise and skillful, qi eaters are gods and longevity, and those who don't eat are immortal and godly." ”

Zhu Bajie was stunned when he heard this, "Don Ma, what are you talking about?" ”

Xue Shao said thoughtfully: "Sima Chengzhen must be proficient in the art of Bigu. ”

Princess Taiping stepped forward and said, "Xue Lang, let's go and see it, right?" Sima Chengzhen, no matter how you say it, is also a celebrity today. It's too contemptuous, and it's not good after all. ”

Xue Shao nodded, "Bajie, take me to see him!" ”

"Yes!"

Xue Shao came to the willow forest in his backyard, and saw Sima Chengzhen, who was dressed in white like snow, sitting on a big bluestone and closing his eyes and quiet. Not only can I not see that he has any difficulties and embarrassment in eating and sleeping, but his complexion is red and his clothes are elegant, and he really looks like the kind of person he has seen in many movies and television, a master who lives in seclusion.

Hearing footsteps from afar, Sima Chengzhen had already opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Xue Shao, he stood up and fell down the bluestone, and stood lightly with his head in the dust, "Poor Dao Sima Chengzhen, see Xue Gongma." ”

"Immortal Chief, please." Xue Shao stepped forward and returned the salute and said with a smile, "There is a lot of neglect, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"The pony is serious." Sima Chengzhen's performance was very indifferent, "The poor road is here, but in fact, he is just entrusted by someone to personally hand over a thing to the horse." ”

Xue Shao was a little curious, "I don't know what it is?" ”

Sima Chengzhen took out a plain old cloth bag and handed it to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao stretched out his hand to take it, a little heavy - déjà vu!

His heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly opened the cloth bag, and a piece of iron Taoist law slip came into view. When he looked a little closer, he saw a majestic tiger carved on Fajian.

"White Tiger Fajian?" Xue Shao exclaimed.

Sima Chengzhen smiled slightly, "It seems that the horse is no stranger. ”

"Indeed." Xue Shao looked at Sima Chengzhen, "I already have the Xuanwu Fajian and the Vermilion Bird Fajian in my hands. The former was given to me by your junior sister Xuanyunzi a long time ago. The latter was brought to me by Duke Pei's wife, and I asked me to take it to ask for Taibai Doctor Sun Zhenren. With the addition of this piece of White Tiger Fajian, I have three pieces! ”

Sima Chengzhen smiled, "This is the Taibai Physician Sun Zhenrenxian who passed on to you in the past." ”

"What did you say?" Xue Shao was taken aback, "Sun Zhenren...... Immortals go? ”

"Yes. Sun Zhenren has already gone immortal. Sima Chengzhen nodded, "He left two altar opening slips, the green dragon and the white tiger." The white tiger gave Xue the horse, and the green dragon was left to my junior sister Xuanyunzi. ”

"What kind of special purpose does this thing have?" Xue Shao asked.

Sima Chengzhen shook his head, "Poor Dao, I really don't know." ”

"Then Xuanyunzi must know?" Xue Shao asked again.

Sima Chengzhen smiled slightly, "Then you have to ask her." ”

Xue Shao suddenly woke up, this bull's nose is quite cunning, first aroused my curiosity, and then talked about Xuanyunzi! - Well, you succeeded!

"I'll go see her." Xue Shao made a statement.

Sima Chengzhen smiled indifferently and bowed, "The mission has been achieved, and the poor road has left." ”

"You don't have anything else to say to me?" Xue Shao asked.

Sima Chengzhen shook his head, "Originally, there was, but after Poor Dao saw Xue Yuma, he dispelled those thoughts. ”

"Why?"

"Because Poor Dao suddenly had an epiphany, since Xue Suma is willing to come to see Poor Dao, it proves that Xue Tuoma has made a decision in his heart." Sima Chengzhen smiled slightly and said, "Since Xue Yuma's mind has been decided, why should Poor Dao talk nonsense and get an axe?" ”

"I don't like beating around the bush." Xue Shao said calmly, "Let's put it this way, Xuanyunzi and I will probably get married." What do you think about this? ”

Sima Chengzhen was silent for a moment with a smile on his face, and bowed his head with a dust: "Poor Dao farewell." ”

Xue Shao suddenly smiled, "That means there is nothing to say?" ”

Sima Chengzhen actually left like this.

Xue Shao looked at his back and pouted, "Sullen bull's nose, the gods are chattering and pretending to be ghosts." Don't talk about pulling down, I'll just go and ask Xuanyunzi directly! ”
