Chapter 524: The Inheritor
Even if Xiao Jingxian came to see Xiao Qingqing today, he didn't come to inquire about his sister's whereabouts, but as Xiao Qingqing uncovered the old things step by step, he only felt as if he was being led by the nose and taken away. Even if he tried to bring the rhythm back into his own hands again and again, he was still upset because of the news thrown by the other party.
At this moment, he was finally unwilling to continue to dwell on this fruitless topic, and smiled with a self-defeating smile: "If Ding Anquan knows that because of her death, there are so many doubts about my sister's unknown arrangement, maybe I will regret that I gave away this life easily." But at the end of the day, even if it's you, you don't know what happened, then I have nothing to say. You don't know, and it's no wonder that my sister is mysterious, and she only asks people to bring me a confusing letter every year. β
Seeing Xiao Jingxian's impatience and impulsiveness just now, he completely put it away at once, and replaced it with the demon king style that he had never understood back then, but he had heard about it over the years, Xiao Qingqing unconsciously put away the last trace of contempt, and once again told himself that this was no longer the little guy who followed behind his sister back and could only smile and have no seriousness.
However, Xiao Qingqing's silence did not chill the atmosphere. Who is Xiao Jingxian? He can knock out a crack in a seamless egg, not to mention that today was originally deliberate? He smiled slightly, and gently tapped the armrest with his knuckles, as if he was purely curious, and as if he asked with great meaning: "I heard the little monkey say, Sister, you have a daughter, it seems that the nickname is still Jing'er?" β
Xiao Qingqing's eyes flashed slightly, and then she said casually: "That kid actually even said such a trivial matter, it seems that at that time, I really let him go too easily." β
"Sister, you have naturally been very powerful, but that kid has no other skills, but his ability to escape can be called the best in the world." Xiao Jing teased with a smile first, and then said casually, "But speaking of which, my niece's name is really interesting, I don't know if Sister Ah will never forget whether it is Shangjing in Beiyan or Jinling in Southern Wu?" β
Both of them are now people who have left home and gone to the country, and they can't talk about a sense of belonging to Beiyan and Nanwu, and at this time, the title of Beiyan and Nanwu is inevitably very subtle. And Xiao Qingqing knows that Xiao Jingxian's question is not aimed at asking about her daughter's life experience, but tactfully probing what position she is standing on now!
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't smile: "There are many words in the world that read this pronunciation, how do you know that it is the Beijing character that represents the capital?" β
"Because with Sister A's mind and vision, she will never use other words. I hope it's Jin, but Sister A gave birth to a daughter, not a son, besides, Sister Ah wouldn't have known that I would be crowned King of Jin more than ten years ago, wouldn't it? Although Xiao Jingxian's tone was relaxed, just looking at Xiao Qingqing's face, he knew that his nonsense could not fool people at all.
"Although I am a living person in Shangjing, I am no different from a dead person. Moreover, I don't have any relatives or anything else to worry about, so why do I still think about going to Beijing? As for Jinling, although I have traveled countless times since I arrived in Nanwu, it is still a foreign country for me. Although her face was thin and angry, and her voice became cold, Xiao Qingqing did not get angry, but her tone became more and more cold.
Xiao Jingxian didn't seem to think that if he continued to ask, he would touch the other party's scales, and still asked reluctantly: "Then why did Sister give her baby daughter such a name?" β
"Her name is Xiao Jingjing." Speaking of her naughty daughter, Xiao Qingqing finally smiled, not only did her originally beautiful facial features soften in an instant, but she was even more charming and natural, and the brilliance that belonged to her mother made her look glamorous, "It's just that I prefer to call her Jing'er, but let that kid hear it." The word Jingjing, you won't say you don't know where it comes from, right? β
Xiao Jingxian showed a solemn expression at this time: "There is such a sentence in the first month of Xiaoya in the Book of Poetry, reading that I am lonely and worried about Jingjing, it is a poem that expresses the resentment of depressed people...... I didn't expect that Sister Ah had faded out of other people's field of vision for so long, but she was still worried about the world. However, I remember that not long ago, Sister Ah was sarcastic in front of Qianqiu, and such things as poetry and poetry are completely useless. β
"It's useless, so I use these two words to name my daughter, just to warn her and to warn myself. If you don't worry about it now, you can only worry about Jingjing in the future! Xiao Qingqing chuckled, revealing a deep ridicule, "Just like those officials who are vying for power in Southern Wu now, how do they know that even if they are fighting for power under one person now, they may die without a place to bury in the future?" β
Thinking of Yue Qianqiu's speculations before, Xiao Jingxian felt more and more that Xiao Qingqing in front of him was the most suspicious, however, he didn't come today for his sister's whereabouts, or even to make Pei Xu and Zhong Liang anxious about the scholarly trouble, but for the fiancΓ©e of the little fat man.
Therefore, he simply continued to probe with these words, until he heard Xiao Qingqing judge the officials of Nanwu one by one, and found that she also spoke highly of the cunning old lady Yue, and then he threw out the most important question of the day.
"Sister once took in Ling Zhu'er of the Shengong Gate, and it seems that she also buried a few nails in the palace, and she quietly managed the Shengong Gate well. You have a daughter like Jingjing, so you plan to let her inherit the foundation of the Red Moon Palace in the future? It's not that I poured cold water, the daughter of the lord of Huoshan County is rarely rich and glorious in Beiyan, but the successor of the Red Moon Palace may have to face the double pressure of the government and martial arts, and Sister really has to give up the easy and the difficult? Or is it ...... You already have other successors in mind? β
In the face of this sudden problem, Rao is Xiao Qingqing realized that he had already attached great importance to Xiao Jingxian, the old man, and still unconsciously clasped his hands tightly. At that moment, she remembered the unusually proud boast of her former friend in front of her.
"My brother is only getting by because he usually relies on me. Only I know that as long as he is willing to show his light, he will definitely be famous all over the world, and everyone knows it! β
Xiao Xiao, you're right, but your too smart brother may become my enemy in the future!
In addition to going to Beiyan for more than half a year, Yue Qianqiu and Little Fat Man have always been rivals who don't look up and don't look down, and they are even more familiar than their own brothers. Therefore, this time in the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, it's a long-lost cooperation, but in their eyes, it's just the same as usual. When the two of them were really ready to start work, they cooperated very tacitly.
Xiao Jingxian detained the spies, the little fat man had dealt with it two days earlier, and he had long planned to take the opportunity to seize the handle of the big guys, and Yue Qianqiu had witnessed Xiao Jingxian's monkey show, and he was not interested in these people at all, so one wanted to take over, and the other was willing to let go, so the little fat man easily took over this side of the matter.
As for those scholars who beat Qin's second uncle, besieged the Qin family, and had infighting at the end, Yue Qianqiu finally seized the opportunity to take revenge, and the little fat man threw it to him, he couldn't be happier. Therefore, when he came to the gate of the North Prison of the Wude Division, which was the reception of that group of people, although his face was rigid, his heart was happy.
However, the people who came out to greet him did not know Shen Zheng, but Han Yu. The two old acquaintances looked at each other, and Yue Qianqiu suddenly complained: "Why are you Uncle Han?" Thanks to my desperate preparations along the way, I planned to fight a beautiful verbal battle with Shen Duzhi in black face, and my face was almost sour, but he ran away without a fight? β
Han Yu didn't know Yue Qianqiu's character. Even if he had any opinions about Shen Zheng, he would not say bad things about his boss in front of him on this occasion, as if he hadn't heard this, he coughed dryly and diverted the topic: "The Ninth Prince is coming quickly, those scholars are on a hunger strike, Shen Duzhi left this matter in the morning and said to leave it to me, and let it go by himself." β
"He's going to lose his baggage!" Yue Qianqiu didn't have too many surprises, and after snorting lightly, he smiled and arched his hand and said, "But the things that the emperor has explained, no matter how difficult it is, I won't retreat like someone." Uncle Han took the trouble to lead the way. β
Even if Yue Qianqiu didn't say this, Han Yu would naturally accompany him in. After all, Shen Zheng left this group of troublesome guys to him, and he rushed over in person as soon as he found signs of hunger strike, only to immediately sense that someone was colluding with each other, ready to fight to the death and continue to make trouble. Therefore, at this moment, while walking, he first whispered hello to Yue Qianqiu in advance.
When he heard about the hunger strike before, Yue Qianqiu's heart came out of the two words that he wanted to coerce, and at this time, when he heard Han Yu say that those guys still wanted to make trouble in tandem, he who was already itching his teeth with hatred, suddenly became even more annoyed.
Just as he entered the gate of the North Prison, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.
"A bold fanatic, he dares to trespass into the North Prison of Wude Division!"
"Quicken the crossbowmen!"
In the chaotic shouting, Yue Qianqiu soon heard a familiar voice: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, I'm not here to rob the prison, I'm here to find someone...... Brother Yue Jiu, hurry up and help me say, aren't I thinking of taking a shortcut! β
Yue Qianqiu only felt angry and funny, and he didn't care about saying anything to Han Yu, so he turned around and rushed out of the door. Seeing the little monkey jumping up and down, he played around the seven or eight lieutenants of the Wu Desi who wanted to arrest people, but he was still tearing his throat there and calling for help, and those who didn't know thought that this kid had really suffered a loss.
He took a deep breath, kicked the ground hard under his feet, and the whole person rushed out like a stone bullet, seeing the little monkey glimpse of him, he hurriedly overjoyed and greeted him, but he reached out and grabbed it, and after two small grabs passed down by Yue Ying, he grabbed the kid's collar when he threw the little monkey to the ground, and nodded to Han Yu, who came out one step later.
Han Yu didn't think about it and shouted at the captains who looked at each other: "That's the right-hand man of the Ninth Prince, Yuan Hou Yuan Gongzi of the Iron Riding Club, you keep your eyes open and remember a little." He came to report something important, so he was a little reckless, don't make a big fuss! β
"Uncle Han, they are all loyal to their duties, it is the little monkey who is in a hurry to break in, don't blame them." Yue Qianqiu interrupted Han Yu's training, and then smiled apologetically at a few people, "I will make amends to you on behalf of Senior Brother Yuan, and I also ask you to forgive him for his reckless trespassing." β
Although the little monkey was a little aggrieved, Yue Qianqiu apologized for him, his eyes rolled, and finally said in a low voice: "It's all my fault, I'll ask you big brothers to drink when I go back, and it's not ...... to compensate you."
Yue Qianqiu and the little monkey apologized like this, and the chagrin of several captains faded. When Yue Qianqiu turned around and entered the gate with the people, Han Yu came over again and asked them what was going on just now, and they talked about the little monkey that slid through the roof like a big bird and planned to enter the North Prison directly, all of them were amazed.
And Yue Qianqiu, who entered the courtyard, put down the little monkey and said in a low voice: "I have a grudge against the big head of the Wu Desi, why dare you break in like this?" In case Shen Zheng is here, he orders you to be killed on the spot, what should we do at that time, will we fight on the spot? β
The little monkey didn't care about explaining, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yue Jiu, King Jin has gone to see Xiao Qingqing!" Because King Jin's people and Xiao Qingqing's people were all around, I didn't dare to approach, but my ears were very good, so I could barely hear two words from afar! β
Yue Qianqiu almost wanted to pinch the face of the little monkey to see if this kid was someone else wearing a mask and pretending. Even if it's a tailwind, when people are guarding around you, you will never be able to hear those two guys talking, right?
