Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable breathing, stood up, and paced in the main hall several times. Yang Siqiao and Jing Zhong looked at each other, not only did Yang Siqiao not understand, but Jing Zhong couldn't figure out what Xiao Jiangyuan meant. Their uncle and nephew kept exchanging glances, wondering if Xiao Jiangyuan was sick, and were considering whether to invite a doctor over, when they saw Xiao Jiangyuan stand still and turned back to face them.

The confusion and hesitation had disappeared from her face, leaving only a confident smile on her lips and a pair of eyes full of determined gaze.

"That's not right." Xiao Jiangyuan said seriously.

"What's wrong?" Yang Siqiao was puzzled.

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "My power, power and status are what I have exchanged for loyalty, merit and ability. The saint's favor to me should also come from this, and nothing else. ”

Yang Siqiao and Jing Zhong glanced at each other and said, "...... That's not the case, otherwise why would the saint believe in you, could it be that like the Empress Zetian, he wants to find you as a face? ”

Jing Zhong secretly said: Maybe you want the master to be a concubine......

Xiao Jiangyuan continued: "And I have lost the favor of the saint, so I have to be despised, and the reason for this is that in the final analysis, it has little to do with the saint - only blame me for the too little power in my hands. ”

When Jing Zhong heard this, he seemed to be able to think of what the master was going to say next, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes shining.

Yang Siqiao was still unclear, because he had always been hardworking, so he said bluntly: "That...... What are you going to do? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly and said, "I want to be an extremely human minister." ”

The room suddenly fell silent, and Yang Siqiao and Jing Zhong's eyes widened instantly.

Xiao Jiangyuan approached them and said in a low voice: "Only in this way can I have as much power as possible, even if I am a saint at that time, what can I do?" ”

Yang Siqiao thought for a while and said cautiously: "Then you have to promise me that you must not mislead the country because of this." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said: "This is the country of saints, I am loyal to saints, and naturally I am also loyal to the country." ”

Yang Siqiao was a little excited: "Okay! Datang has never had a eunuch who is a very human minister, support you for your brother! ”

Jing Zhong followed: "I also want to be the same as Master!" ”

Yang Siqiao smiled brightly: "Good boy, ambitious!" I understand now, you really have a lot of vision and have picked a good apprentice. ”

Yang Siqiao just took Jingzhong's words as a joke, but Xiao Jiangyuan took it very seriously, and asked matter-of-factly: "Then you will return to the stable tomorrow, do you know what to do?" ”

The corners of Jing Zhong's lips hooked: "With today's eye-opening, the disciples already know what kind of person General Wang is." The apprentice knows in his heart, and he will definitely let the master see a new Jingzhong in the future! ”

Seeing that their master and apprentice were so enthusiastic, Yang Siqiao said coldly on the side: "No matter what, our Inner Servant Province and his king Mao Zhong's Liangzi are concluded. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan and Jing Zhong glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

The next day, Jingzhong returned to the stable, and found that his situation was indeed better than before, no one bullied him anymore, and no one arranged dirty and tiring work for him anymore, but the attitude of everyone in the idle stable towards him was not enthusiastic because of this, more like nothing had happened before, and he was an ordinary eunuch in the inner palace for them.

To his surprise, the eunuchs who were also in the stables moved closer to him after this incident, as if they had a tendency to respect him. He was happy to do so, and it was by virtue of this that he could establish his prestige in the stable, so that he could have a qualification to talk to Wang Maozhong about wine.

"What are you talking about, that Jingzhong wants to invite me to drink?" Wang Maozhong was angry and funny, "He is only a mere seven-grade now, just because he has a good master, he thinks that he deserves to drink at the same table with me?" ”

Wang Maozhong's subordinates were also very puzzled: "He knew that the general had a holiday with his master, and in the future, the well water would not interfere with the river water, but he had to take the initiative to provoke the general, and it was abnormal, which was probably not a good thing." The general ignored him. ”

Wang Maozhong frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" He is a milky eunuch, even if he really wants to avenge his master, what bad intentions do he have, is it possible that I am still afraid of him? ”

"General, more is better than less."

"I won't accept what you say, I still want to see what he wants to do to me!"

Jing Zhong smiled at the complicated eyes of the generals and invited Wang Maozhong into his not spacious hall. The banquet was prepared quite properly, which was expected by Wang Maozhong but not disliked, but the wine was really good, and it spent all the savings that Jingzhong had saved before.

A little eunuch once asked him, isn't he afraid that Wang Maozhong will not come at all if he is ready to come out with such a big effort? Jing Zhong was silent at the time.

He will come, of course he will come. He didn't necessarily want to come, but he certainly didn't want to be thought that he didn't dare to come, although he came with a small group of men and horses to surround his house.

Jing Zhong was neither surprised nor frightened by this, because he had no intention of doing anything dangerous in the first place. Seeing that Wang Maozhong had been examining himself unabashedly since he entered the room, Jingzhong smiled slightly and invited Wang Maozhong to take a seat. Wang Maozhong was naturally not polite to him, and as soon as he sat down, he asked bluntly: "What are your intentions when you want to invite me to drink?" ”

Jing Zhong made a proper salute, then toasted and drank first: "The villain wants to make friends with the general." ”

Wang Maozhong only felt ridiculous: "You? With me? Dating? ”

Jing Zhong said: "The villain didn't know the reason before, and he misunderstood the general yesterday, so he first punished himself here with three cups to make amends to the general." ”

Wang Maozhong slowly turned the wine glass in his hand and didn't drink a drop: "So, do you know the reason now?" ”

"Yes, yesterday the family teacher and Yang Neijian told the villain about the events of that year."

"What did they say?"

Jing Zhong looked at Wang Mao Zhong's subordinates around him and did not answer.

Back then, not many people knew about that incident, and now, everyone only knows that Wang Maozhong and Xiao Jiangyuan are at odds. Wang Maozhong knew that once he explained why he was not in harmony, he would inevitably be involved in the mistakes he had committed back then, and then he would not want to have this face? Moreover, the words that Xiao Jiangyuan whispered to him in order to save himself before were still in his ears, and he really couldn't grasp the truth or falsehood, so he really wanted to know what Xiao Jiangyuan said in front of her close apprentices.

If it is different, it can show that she was lying to him that day, and it can also prove that the saint never had any murderous intentions towards him, which is more important to him than anything else. So, Wang Maozhong ignored the opposition and let all his subordinates retreat, and only he and Jingzhong were left in the hall.

Thinking about Jingzhong's thinness, if he really wants to do something, he can also settle it.

Jing Zhong said at this time: "The family teacher does not praise or disparage, but only says that the general fled alone when the saint killed Wei Shuren's henchmen in the incident, and only returned after the incident. The family teacher wanted to kill the general back then, firstly, to establish his prestige among the meritorious heroes, and secondly, to eradicate the general, so that she could replace him and become the first person beside the saint. Helplessly, the general was deeply blessed and was finally saved by the saint. ”

This is completely consistent with what Wang Maozhong thought in his early years. He was no longer in the mood to express his resentment against Xiao Jiangyuan, and he only quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "...... What did Supervisor Yang say? ”

"This ......" Jing Zhong laughed dryly twice and took another sip of wine.

"Tell me about it!"

"If the villain says it, don't be angry."

"You say, you say, I'm not angry."

Jing Zhong sighed helplessly, and said: "Yang Neijian said that the general was greedy for life and afraid of death in his early years, and abandoned the master and fled, it is no pity to die, but now he dares to bully the master with his own power, he really regrets that he didn't kill the general directly. ”

"Yang Siqiao, this old horseman!" Wang Maozhong just got up from the case, and felt that something was wrong, so he sat down while thinking about it, and said, "Aren't you Xiao Yanu's high apprentice, then Yang Pifu is your uncle, and you will tell me the truth about their words?" ”

"If you want to make friends, you must first be honest with each other. The general asked, and if the villain happened to know, he should know everything. As for the master and uncle...... Jing Zhong walked to Wang Maozhong and sat down, poured a glass of wine for Wang Maozhong with his own hands, approached Wang Maozhong, and said in a low voice, "The eunuch recognizes a father-in-law and worships a master on weekdays, what is it for, the general won't know, right?" ”

Wang Maozhong looked at Jing Zhong with an unexpected expression, and said in surprise: "But I still don't believe that she Xiao Yanu can be deceived by you." ”

"Of course not, so the villain also paid sincerely." Jing Zhong smiled, "It is precisely in order to profit from it that the villain sincerely worships her as a teacher." ”

Such a statement is really fresh and ingenious, Wang Maozhong laughed when he heard it, and then listened to Jingzhong continue: "Besides, the villain has come up step by step from the lowest level of the court, so he thinks he understands the general who was a slave in the past. What's wrong with being greedy for life and afraid of death, what's wrong with cherishing your life? It's unfortunate to be born slaves, don't we even have the qualifications to live well? Why do they demand that we must sacrifice our lives and forget our lives for the sake of our masters, and why do they think that we who cannot do it are worthy of death? Isn't our life our fate?! ”

Jing Zhong's previous words only made Wang Maozhong reduce some of his prejudice and suspicion against Xiao Jiangyuan's disciples, and set his eyes on Jing Zhong himself, and Jing Zhong's words at this moment made Wang Maozhong greatly change his opinion of him - this is what he Wang Maozhong said in his heart!

For so many years, even his wife, children, relatives and friends, no one can understand what he did back then, and everyone who knows has said that he acted as a villain and insulted the grace of God. How could they understand the situation at that time, who dared to conclude that the saint would definitely win, and who could have expected that the saint would change his fortune after that, and eventually become the Ninety-Five Supreme? If the saint was defeated back then, with the ruthlessness of the Wei Shu people, he would not punish the three clans in a row? He is just a saint's house slave, and his family can't escape!

Thinking of this, Wang Maozhong sighed heavily, and finally began to drink. After only three rounds of drinking, he had already introduced Jingzhong as a confidant: "I ...... I don't care, even if you have ulterior motives, thinking about getting the benefits of your master on the one hand, and mine on the other, it's ...... Anyway! Just because you know me so well, you friend, I'm ...... Handed it in! ”
