Ji Xiaoguang sat in the courtyard behind the mansion with a depressed expression, silent.

Although the number of days he knelt in front of the palace gate was actually not much, he still felt that he seemed to have been drained of a lot of energy, and he might live several years less.

He has been pampered for decades, and he can't afford to toss anymore, and he can't even think about the behavior of fighting on the battlefield like Li Xianyue.

The colors in the courtyard were dark under the hazy sky, and he was depressed and a little irritable.

Physical discomfort affects the mood, and then the mood affects the body, and it's a vicious cycle.

His eyes shifted from the eastern corner of the courtyard to the western corner, and he suddenly turned his head towards the courtyard gate directly in front of him, and frowned.

"What's going on?" He asked.

There have been too many things in recent times, although he spends most of his time "recuperating from his injuries", or just sitting in the yard like now, thinking about things, but he still feels a little tired, for example, the things in Bai, Ruan, and Hua Sanfu make him vigilant, and he may have a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, although he is not in harmony with the three mansions, but in his expectation, the three mansions will get a punishment that makes him clap his hands, but it will definitely not be the retribution that makes him feel sad now.

Therefore, he didn't want to deal with anything recently, not only was he upset, but he also guessed that nothing good would happen recently.

A cronie hurried in from outside, looking ugly and said, "My lord, Guan Kuo is here." ”

Ji Xiaoguang's triangular eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

His current situation is all due to Guan Kuo, although compared to the three of Bai Zhang, it can only be regarded as a little hurt, but this will definitely not make him have any feelings other than bad feelings for Guan Kuo.

"He's already found a 'good' thing for his own official, what is he doing now?" He snorted coldly.

If it was Guan Kuo before that, he would be like before, becoming a smiling tiger, he could laugh and make the other party worse than dead, but after experiencing that incident, in the face of Guan Kuo, his mentality was to avoid it, and kill the other party when he found an opportunity, so the scene of the smiling "Uncle Ji" and "Virtuous Nephew" in the lobby that day would not be there, and there would never be again, and all that was left was cold anger.

"My lord, what he said was what His Majesty asked him to do, and at the same time asked you to do it, you are clear in your heart." The cronie groaned for a moment, as if speaking harshly.

Ji Xiaoguang's triangular eyes flashed with cold light, followed by a sky-high fire, mixed with great shock, he shouted: "Is he crazy, Your Majesty said so, did he really do it?" ”

Hearing this, the cronie was very surprised, thinking to himself what happened today, could it be that the adults of his family really knew, and even really asked His Majesty to do it?

"Who did he catch?" Ji Xiaoguang tilted his head and asked at the respectful cronie.

The cronie was sure this time, and hurriedly spoke: "The third son of the Zuo family." ”

"Sure enough, it's this useless thing!" Ji Xiaoguang scolded, he patted the armrest on the wooden chair: "Help me up, I'll take a look." ”

There are a lot of uncompetitive people in Chang'an, but the most uncompetitive ones, that is, so few, Zuo Jing, is really in the list he expected.

Ji Xiaoguang has been kneeling outside the palace gate for so many days, if his body wants to fully recover, he doesn't know how much time it will take, although he can stand up by himself, but probably out of a kind of superior mentality, he still needs others to help him up, after all, if this is not the case, he is not Lord Jing Zhaoyin.

Filled with irritation, indignation, and disbelief, he was supported by his cronies and walked slowly past the backyard door to the lobby.

The moment he saw the scene inside the mansion, the muscles in his face twitched.

Guan Kuo straddled the knife, like a soldier, no, he was a soldier, with his head held high, pacing above the lobby, looking here, looking there, under the stone steps in the distance, a horse was wandering blindly, with the same attitude as its human brother.

Of course, that was not what made Ji Xiaoguang's facial muscles twitch.

The reason is on the stone floor in the lobby.

A young man was lying there like a dead dog.

The young man was dressed in brocade clothes, with exquisite patterns embroidered with gold threads, and at first glance he was a man in brocade clothes and jade food, but his body was really thin, like a monkey spirit.

It's the left shock.

When he heard that Zuo Jing was captured by Guan Kuo and fell unconscious, he had imagined a lot of Zuo Jing as he looks like now, but seeing is believing, and then he knew that it was like this!

On such a cold day, Guan Kuo casually threw people on the ground like this, and he really treated them as a dead dog.

"Uncle Ji, don't come unharmed, I heard that after you were punished by His Majesty, you were unwell, I don't know if you are better now?" Seeing Ji Xiaoguang appear, Guan Kuo said with a smile.

Ji Xiaoguang could have sung and harmonized with Guan Kuo like that day, "Uncle Ji" and "Virtuous Nephew", but today he was not in the mood at all, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Thanks to you, I can't die, so I stand here decently." ”

"Then I'll be relieved of my nephew."

Ji Xiaoguang didn't deal with it, so Guan Kuo had to sing the clarinet by himself.

Ji Xiaoguang pointed to Zuo Zhen on the ground, and said, "On such a cold day, you just threw people there like this, if there are any three long and two short, can you afford to offend?" ”

"When did Master Ji say so much to the prisoner?" Guan Kuo asked slightly mockingly.

"Although His Majesty issued an edict, I warn you to manage the wide, you don't go too far, this is still in Chang'an after all, and now is no longer the time to cover the sky with the old thief, besides, even at those times, he himself doesn't dare to be so nonsense!" Ji Xiaoguang said coldly.

Guan Kuo knew that after that night, the people who had been especially in awe and fear of his father were eager to take Guan Fu out and step on it again, he had a reason to be angry, but he didn't want to do it, because unless he had the strength of his father back then, otherwise, it would become a joke.

"Hulai?" He asked, "Do you want to say that Your Majesty is coming here?" ”

The atmosphere in the entire palace became stagnant with his question.

Ji Xiaoguang didn't answer, he knew that he couldn't answer, and if he did, it would not be as simple as kneeling in front of the palace gate.

"What do you want to do now?" He asked with an unkind look on his face.

At the same time, he waved his hand and gestured.
