Xiao Jiangyuan paused, his eyes swept over the soldiers around him, and found that after Wang Maozhong said this, they really didn't retreat, and they seemed to have a little more confidence. A question sprung up in her mind, a question that puzzled her as well as dawned on her.

Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to speak, Jing Zhong immediately said as soon as Wang Maozhong's voice fell: "You are talking nonsense!" ”

Wang Maozhong shouted: "Boldly eunuch, dare to ignore humility and talk to me like this? It seems that there are not enough lessons learned from these days. Come on, tie him up! This time it can't just be punches and kicks, it's time for him to taste the whip of a horse trainer! ”

Two soldiers immediately stepped forward, one left and one right clamped Jing Zhong, and the other took the rope, even if he wanted to tie Jing Zhong up, he heard Xiao Jiangyuan say lightly: "Wang Maozhong, you try it." ”

"You...... You! Wang Maozhong was furious, this eunuch dared to call him by his name, this is not just a matter of rudeness and disrespect. She is tearing her face with him, she is despising him from the bottom of her heart and insulting him!

"Come on, tie her up for me too! Master and apprentice fight together! ”

Jingzhong was worried and anxious, and just wanted to let the master go quickly, but saw that the master was calm and relaxed, and he looked confident. His heart was suddenly settled, and he was a little excited—he had never seen such a master before.

In a trance, his master faded away from his usual pure white, revealing a bit of deep color.

Everyone present, including Wang Maozhong, had ever seen such a Xiao Jiangyuan? She has always been a smile, very good-tempered, never put on the shelf of the celebrity around the Son of Heaven, if there is anything that needs help, as long as she is found, there is no help, she herself is upright and serious, so up to the saint's concubines and courtiers, down to the palace people's servants, plus the acquaintances of the soldiers, all respect her very much.

Although Wang Maozhong's men and horses have little intersection with Xiao Jiangyuan, they have heard a lot. Although they have a deep friendship with Wang Maozhong, they don't dare to really be disrespectful to Xiao Jiangyuan, not to mention that although Xiao Jiangyuan is still smiling at the moment, his momentum is also very compelling.

They are still young, and they don't know what Wang Maozhong and Xiao Jiangyuan had back then, but now it seems that they just feel that they are honest people, and they are forced to be angry by them, General Wang.

Seeing that no one dared to move around, Wang Maozhong grabbed the rope and strode towards Xiao Jiangyuan: "You don't dare, I'll come in person!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan Shi Ran raised his hands and gave Wang Maozhong a convenient way to tie up, and said with a smile: "I have been a general for a few years, but I still haven't grown at all." ”

Wang Maozhong pulled Xiao Jiangyuan's hand and wrapped the rope around her arm: "What did you say?" ”

"I have not been with the saint for two months, and my disciple has only accidentally provoked the saint and been sent here, does that mean that I have lost my sacred heart? Do you know where I have been in the past two months and who I have been with? You've probably been bent on raising horses and taming beasts for the saint, and you haven't entered the Zichen Hall for a long time, right? Do you know where I live now? ”

Taking advantage of Wang Maozhong's thinking and sluggish movements, Xiao Jiangyuan grabbed Wang Maozhong's arm, pulled him closer to him, and faced him: "I don't care about these, just when I really fall out of favor, but I am still the general of the right prison guard and the commander of the inner service province, and no matter how bad my official position is as good as you, I am also an official of the imperial court." What happened to the last person who bullied the court officials, do you remember? That's the queen's brother-in-law and the saint's brother-in-law, and it ends like that, you are just the saint's former house slave, what should you do? ”

Wang Maozhong couldn't help but dodge Xiao Jiangyuan's scorching gaze a little, but he was still a little lucky. This is the stable, this is his place, and the people here are all his subordinates, if he cuts the grass and gives another explanation, with the saint's favor and belief in him, he will not really kill him for the sake of a eunuch. After all, he and the saint, that is the love since childhood, compared to this, what is this eunuch?

Seeing that there was a fierce light in Wang Maozhong's eyes, Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to have expected it, and smiled deeply: "Do you really think that in the idle stable, you can cover the sky with one hand, right?" As she spoke, she put her lips close to Wang Maozhong's ear and said meaningfully, "Do you think I really wanted to kill you back then?" You abandoned the saint and fled at a critical moment, although the saint did not blame for the sake of the old love, but if there is no life-saving grace for you, how dare you use it in the future? ”

This is exactly what Wang Maozhong has been most puzzled about for many years. No matter how powerful she Xiao Jiangyuan is, she was only a fifth-grade eunuch back then, how could she dare to kill him on her own initiative? If you really want to kill him, why don't you do it for a long time, and just keep beating him and teaching him a lesson? If it is as she said, everything will make sense. But that also shows that the saint was not as affectionate to him as he thought.

- Xiao Jiangyuan didn't say it in front of everyone, but he saved face for him.

Wang Maozhong's binding action couldn't help but stop. Xiao Jiangyuan stepped back and stood up, and with a slight struggle, he took the rope out of his hand. She threw the rope to the ground casually, and then turned her head to look at the two people beside Jing Zhong. She still smiled faintly and didn't say anything, and the two soldiers immediately understood what she meant, and hurriedly untied Jingzhong.

Jing Zhong was already stunned by his master, and it wasn't until Xiao Jiangyuan waved at him that he came to his senses and ran to Xiao Jiangyuan's side.

Seeing that Wang Maozhong was slow to speak, thinking that he couldn't pull down his face, Xiao Jiangyuan took the lead in speaking briskly: "It's just a misunderstanding, and the lower official's words are missing, but presumably General Wang is broad-minded and won't mind." ”

Wang Maozhong had no choice but to press down all the resentment and nodded stiffly.

Xiao Jiangyuan said again: "The little apprentice was sent by the sage because of his talent, and he will still practice in the idle stable in the future, and ask General Wang to take more care of him." ”

After saying that, she also saluted decently. The eyes of everyone present instantly moved to Wang Maozhong - everyone has given you the steps like this, you are still not interested, do you have to make a big deal and let the saint know about the anger?

After all, Wang Maozhong is the leader of the idle stable, and he also needs to rein in the hearts of his subordinates, no matter how unwilling he is, he has no choice but to return the gift to Xiao Jiangyuan.

Even if this matter was completely exposed, Xiao Jiangyuan turned his head and asked her little apprentice: "Have you finished today's work?" ”

It's only morning, so naturally it's not done, but Jing Zhong rolled his eyes and said sincerely: "It's done." ”

Wang Maozhong: "......"

Soldiers: "......"

Xiao Jiangyuan praised: "It's really good, then go back with me and have a good rest-General Wang said goodbye." ”

Ignoring the crowd, she took Jingzhong and left the stable, and went to her former residence, where Jingzhong is now.

After learning everything that had just happened from Jing Zhong's mouth, Yang Siqiao took the case: "We all followed the saint, who is not the favored minister of the Son of Heaven?" He Wang Mao Zhong can't deal with you, so he will be angry with Jingzhong? Is he still a man? Back then, we should have simply culled this dog minion! ”

Jing Zhong has been curious for a long time: "Uncle Shi...... Back then, what kind of festival did Master have with him? ”

As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan entered the main hall, he found a place to sit down, as if thinking about something, and was silent for a long time. Seeing that she didn't object, Yang Siqiao told Jingzhong about the past. Only then did Jing Zhong know that the master had been powerful and domineering at that time, and he had always thought that the master was a little white rabbit, but he didn't want to ......

Seeing Jingzhong's look of surprise and admiration, Yang Siqiao smiled lovingly: "Let your master be scared?" What is this, your master is a high-ranking disciple of Huiwen Zhaorong, and he trained by Empress Zetian in his early years, Wang Maozhong is at most just a cricket who can't even make a good sound to your master. ”

Hearing Yang Siqiao mention Huiwen Zhaorong, Shangguan Wan'er and Empress Zetian, Jingzhong's eyes widened. Yang Siqiao couldn't believe it: "Isn't it, it's been a few years since I apprenticed, and you don't even know this?" As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Xiao Jiangyuan, "You didn't tell him?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head in a daze. Yang Siqiao didn't know if she heard the question she asked, so she had to smile at Jingzhong: "So, do you know that your master's cut is black?" ”

Jing Zhong nodded stunnedly.

They...... Didn't you even find out that Master was a woman? That's just the way they are.

Jing Zhong didn't feel a little proud, and when Yang Siqiao finished laughing, he pulled Xiao Jiangyuan's sleeve and asked obediently, "Master, what did you just say to General Wang, that you really let him let us go?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Jing Zhong, and then at Yang Sixuan, and saw that they were all staring at him with a curious look, he couldn't help but smile, and said with some self-deprecation: "It's just a lie, but it's a heart-wrenching word, and it's not worth mentioning." ”

Yang Siqiao couldn't bear it anymore: "Why are you unhappy?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed: "Why would he think that as long as I fall out of favor with the saint, he can abuse me with impunity without any punishment? Even if he didn't know what I said at the beginning, he wouldn't know about the eldest grandson sinner who was killed by the saint in court for beating the Imperial Doctor. Why is the lesson of the previous car still in his ears, and he still dares to move the idea of killing me? ”

Yang Siqiao frowned and said: "Then it is necessary to divide people, only Wang Maozhong is so brainless that he can do this kind of thing." Everyone else will be polite, but they really won't be as respectful of you as they are when you're favored. ”

Jing Zhong secretly pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "Maybe it's because Master is only the identity of the number one celebrity around the Son of Heaven in their eyes?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded at Jingzhong: "It turns out that my official residence is still worthless in their eyes. ”

In the eyes of her family, is it the same?

Although Jing Zhong was unwilling, he had to admit: "Aren't the power and status that everyone in this world can have given by saints? ”

Yang Siqiao also sighed helplessly: "Who called us eunuchs instead of real courtiers?" They respect us, in fact, they have a bit of a relationship with our rank, but more of a saint's face. We are the people around the saints, so that we can stand out among the eunuchs and be looked down upon by others. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with saying that our power is given by the saints. ”

In other words, everything I have is always in the hands of the saints. He wants to take it back, at any time, and I can't fight back? ”

Yang Siqiao really couldn't understand what happened to his virtuous brother today, why he had such a frustrated mood, and asked such a stupid question: "Of course, he is a saint." ”
