Xie Bi was shocked when he heard this, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that although Mei Changsu had a smile on his lips, there was no smile in his eyes, and he knew that his little abacus had been seen through by this brilliant sect master of the Jiangzuo League, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed, and quickly turned his brain to think about how to explain.

Xiao Jingrui is half of the Jianghu people because of his special identity, before he became an adult, he only had to be in the capital for half a year, and when he became an adult, he often traveled outside and never got involved in political affairs. But despite this, he still has the identity of the prince of the Hou Mansion after all, and the general trend of the court is still known. At this time, hearing Mei Changsu say such a sentence, Xie Bi had this expression again, and after a little thought, he understood the reason, and he was furious in his heart, and took a few steps forward to block Mei Changsu behind him, and said loudly to Xie Bi: "You go back to your mother and mother, Brother Su is unwell and can't come to see him." ”

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Xie Bi anxiously wanted to push him away, "Don't make any more trouble, are there ordinary people waiting in the main hall?" Is it that you can see it if you want to see it, and if you don't see it, you can't see it? ”

Xiao Jingrui gritted his teeth, flipped his left palm, held Xie Bi's arm, and with a little force, he froze him in place and couldn't move, while staring into his eyes, and his tone was extremely serious: "I think my mother and the Nihuang County Lord are just curious, it's the queen mother who really wants to see Brother Su, right?" So I say it again, please go back to Niangniang, Brother Su is sick and doesn't want to lose his honor before driving, please forgive her. ”

Xie Bi struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free from the restraint of Xiao Jingrui's palm, and he couldn't help blushing, ashamed and annoyed. Although he called "brother, brother" every day, and did have a deep and true brotherly relationship with Xiao Jingrui, in his bones, he did not really respect and treat Xiao Jingrui as a brother. And Xiao Jingrui is gentle and humble by nature, he has been humble to his brothers and sisters since he was a child, he has never posed as an elder brother, and he usually doesn't take it to heart when he is bullied.

"Forget Jingrui, I'll ......" Mei Changsu took a step forward, and just said a few words helplessly, but was refuted by Xiao Jingrui without looking back: "No!" This is absolutely not a no-go! ”

"Big brother!!"

"When you invited Brother Su to Jinling, I don't care what you planned to do in your heart, I only know that I invited him to recuperate, and the disturbances in the outside world have nothing to do with him." Xiao Jingrui's eyes were firm, and he didn't give in, "Whether it's King Yu or the prince, what kind of position do you want to choose, who do you want to prefer, that's your own business, my father doesn't care about you, and I don't care." But Brother Su is an outsider, even if he has the largest gang in the world and is a prodigy who can be relied on, you can't completely invite him without asking what he means, and play some small means to force him to get involved in disputes. Even if Brother Su is just a stranger, your behavior is contrary to the proper character of a person, not to mention that we should get along along all the way, so we should have some feelings, right? ”

Xie Bi had never seen Xiao Jingrui's words so cold, not to mention that he was arranging the song, so his momentum naturally dropped a little, and he muttered and defended: "It's just to see the queen's mother, and I don't ......have anything to decide."

"Just to meet?" Xiao Jingrui sneered, "If it weren't for Brother Su's full of talent and his identity as the sect leader of the Jiangzuo League, what would the queen mother do to see him for no reason?" If Niangniang solicited grace on behalf of King Yu during the meeting, how should Brother Su react? If Niangniang has an extraordinarily valuable reward, do you let Brother Su take it or not? Without Brother Su's consent, you put him in a difficult place for no reason, is there any sense of friend in doing so? ”

was reproached by him like this, Xie Bi's face was a little unbearable, his face was full of shame, and green tendons burst out on his forehead. Seeing him describe it like this, Xiao Jingrui was a little soft-hearted, and slowed down his tone and said slowly: "Second brother, the family has always relied on you to take care of it, and I rarely help you, this is where I can't stand you." I also know that everything you do is for the Xie family. But in any case, we can't treat our friends like that. If Yu Jin knows about today's incident, he will also scold you. Now I will accompany Brother Su back to Xuelu, as for the queen's side...... I think with your wit, you should be able to prevaricate. After that, he turned around and pulled Mei Changsu, and left without looking back.

Xie Bi stood in place for a long time, and finally sighed, but he didn't dare to chase after him again.

After returning to Xuelu, Mei Changsu was still sitting on the bench under the tree where he was used to sitting, Xiao Jingrui poured him hot tea with his own hands, moved a wooden bench next to him, and sat silently with him for a long time before he said softly: "I'm sorry......"

Mei Changsu's gaze slowly fell on Xiao Jingrui's face. This young man with a dual identity has returned to his usual gentle feeling at this moment, his expression is soft, his eyes are clear, and he has completely lost the fierceness and firmness just now, but Mei Changsu looked at him, and there was an indescribable shock in his heart.

I thought he was just a simple and kind child, but I didn't expect that this young man would have such firm and unchangeable principles for friendship and morality.

Although it is not my wish to see the queen now, if I do see it, it may not be impossible to deal with it. can be blocked by Xiao Jingrui, and when he listens to him spare no effort to defend himself, he still can't help but feel a little moved.

If people in the world can be like Xiao Jingrui, then this world may be much better. It's just a pity that too many people can't do this, including their own ......

"Brother Su, please don't be angry with Xie Bi...... In fact, he has no malicious intentions, he has always supported King Yu, and admires your talent too much," Xiao Jingrui couldn't figure out the meaning of Mei Changsu's expression, and was a little uneasy, "Originally, you came to Jinling to stay away from the strife in the rivers and lakes, but now you are in this kind of trouble......"

Mei Changsu smiled slightly, reached out and patted Xiao Jingrui's knee, and said in a low voice: "It's not okay to be angry...... I know that anyone has their own reasons for doing everything, and Xie Bi is no different. It's just that everyone thinks too much about themselves, and many troubles in the world arise because of this. Whether it's the rivers and lakes, or the imperial court, what's the difference? In order to win the sword and sword shadow of Beiyan Dayu, how can our Liang be an exception? ”

"Before you came to Jinling, you said that you would hide your identity," Xiao Jingrui hung his head, looking very frustrated, "I obviously promised you, but I couldn't do it......"

"How can I blame you for this? Chasing the root of it, I forgot to let Feiliu be careful......"

Xiao Jingrui shook his head and said with a straight face: "Brother Su doesn't have to pretend not to see the truth in order to make me feel better. After today's incident, we should all understand that even if Feiliu didn't meet Commander Meng yesterday, Xie Bi would also inform King Yu of Brother Su's identity......"

"Why don't we escape from the capital overnight?" Mei Changsu made a joke in order to relax the atmosphere.

"Brother Su!!" Xiao Jingrui cried out with laughter.

"Okay, don't worry," Mei Changsu smiled and leaned back in the chair, "Even if you come, you will be safe, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Now they are desperately trying to recruit talents, since they have unfortunately taken a fancy to them, and if they flee back to Jiangzuo, they will only bring back trouble, and they will be scolded by the people in the alliance for causing disaster and causing trouble. It's better to stay in the capital and watch the excitement, and when they observe for a while, they will naturally find that I am actually a useless scholar, and even if I want to come forward, people will not bother to ask for it. “

Although Xiao Jingrui knew that it couldn't be so simple, he couldn't help but be amused, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

This refusal to meet did not cause any turmoil in the end, and the queen mother and the Nihuang county lord drove away very quietly, it seems that Xie Bi's skills are indeed extraordinary. The scene was also very calm during the dinner that night, neither Ning Guohou nor Princess Liyang mentioned any topics about the guests in Xuelu, and Xie Bi was even more sullen, and only ate half a bowl of rice and went back to the room. Xiao Jingrui then went to visit him, and he didn't get angry with his brother, but just asked Xiao Jingrui to apologize to Brother Su again for him, and then he used the excuse that he was not feeling well and went to bed early.

The next day, Yan Yujin came over to play with everyone again, but was surprised to find that everyone seemed to have no energy, and immediately wondered if he had missed any big excitement and didn't see it, so he immediately caught Xiao Jingrui and forced him to ask, but he didn't ask anything famous after tossing for a long time. Fortunately, he finally remembered that tomorrow was the first day of the Nihuang County Lord's Son-in-law Selection Conference, and he must recuperate and sprint towards the goal of winning the beautiful home, so he stopped torturing his friends and went back to his house to rest.
