Chapter 31: The Idler
"How can I dare not go if you call me. Hippie said with a smile, and hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea in his hand and put it in the old marquis's hand.
The old marquis took a sip of the teacup and slowed down, "Your father has always hoped that you can live well for the family, the Xiao family's successive exploits, I just want to give you peace and joy in exchange for a lifetime, your life is not yours, it is your father and mother's life in exchange." ”
The little marquis was silent, "Now that the battle for the new storage position has been tense, the arrival of the Xie family will definitely catalyze the conflict." Old man Xie is still smart, he saw through the boom and bust ten years ago and withdrew in time, but only he can do it. Your father has been determined to be a general since he was a child, he inherited the Xiao family army and became a victorious general, but in the end, he hopes that our family will be an ordinary rich and noble family, you are his only heir, you should help him fulfill his wish, cough cough. ”
Standing upright behind his grandfather's right, he gave his grandfather a good breath and took a deep breath, "He found that he was a victorious general on the battlefield, and he used soldiers like a god. His disappointment extinguished his blood. ”
It is rare to hear my grandson speak so emotionally, "I know that when you were a child, you were just like your father, determined to be a great general, the world changes, no one can capture fate, only to make arrangements that seem best." ”
"If no one can capture fate, why can't we take this unknown for a try. ”
The old marquis turned his head to look at this grandson, who was more and more like his proudest son, who was a small group back then, and now he has grown into a family that can support a family.
The shining eyes and the iron bones are just as they were back then. will look back, close your eyes, and see the eyes of your son who are gradually losing their luster back then, "At present, the way you are now is the best choice." ”
After speaking, he walked outside, "It's best to bring Xiao to guard them when you go out in the future, as well as the secret guard, I don't want to see today's incident happen again." When he went out, he coughed a few times directly by the night wind, and the old housekeeper immediately greeted him, supported him, and slowly gave him a breath, and the two of them walked back slowly, with white hair, looking at the candle that seemed to be blown out by the wind at any time.
The little marquis's clenched hands silently let go when he saw his grandfather's bent waist. The backbone that can shelter himself from the wind and rain, standing up to the sky and the earth, I don't know what is bent, in the cold wind, thin like an ordinary rickety old man.
"Someone. ”
"The subordinates are here. ”
"What happened to the miracle doctor I asked you to find. ”
"Back to the little marquis, I have some clues, but I haven't found my true whereabouts yet. ”
"Keep looking for me, stop everything at hand, send more people, and find me as soon as possible. ”
"The case of this assassination"
"Just send two to follow up, and the others will do as I am told. ”
"Then the little marquis should also be careful of his own safety. ”
"In the eyes of others, I am just an idler under the protection of my ancestors, and no one will come to harm me. ”
"Master"
"Don't say it, do as I say. ”
"Subordinates understand"
"Let's go errands. ”
The little marquis tidied up his clothes, and after making sure that there was no problem, he hurriedly led the horse and led a group of guards straight to the Nine Emperors' Mansion.
got off the horse and threw the reins into the arms of the horseman, full of gentlemanly brothers.
There was a well-dressed steward waiting in front of the door, and he immediately greeted him, "Little Marquis, the slave has been waiting for you here for a long time." Seeing the guards behind him, "Why did you suddenly bring so many more guards today?"
"Master, I and your master have met an assassin who doesn't have long eyes today, of course you have to be careful, how many assassins can't withstand your life. ”
The steward almost jumped up when he heard this, and scolded, "Who is not long-sighted dares to assassinate my master and the little marquis, it is really a crime that deserves death." He changed his look of concern again, "How about it, the little marquis is not injured." ”
"Can you speak? ”
"It's the minion's fault, the minions can't speak, the little marquis is wise and martial, and his martial arts are world-famous, let's just say which assassins are not long-sighted. ”
The coaxing little marquis was about to bubble, "This is not bad, hurry up and take me to meet your master." ”
"You can't fly, right, the slave must be fast. ”
The little marquis smiled and patted him, "You kid." ”
