"How is Xiaohong doing?"

The blind woman was an elderly woman, and the beauty of her youth could be vaguely seen between her eyebrows.

When Shi Xiaofei saw her, the first thing she said was to ask about Fan Xiaohong's situation.

“...... In fact, the younger generations don't know whether the shopkeeper Fan is good or bad now. ”

Shi Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly.

"If there are no special circumstances, Xiaohong, this girl, will not reveal the secrets of Nanjia Buzhuang to others at will. The blind woman sighed. "Since she will choose to believe you, it means that there must be something she values in you, in the future life, can you tell the old body your name?"

"Junior Shi Xiaofei ......"

Shi Xiaofei hurriedly introduced himself.

"It turned out to be you. When the blind woman heard this, she suddenly showed a sudden expression, and then said with a smile on her face. "The old body's name is Jian Yi, and she is Xiaohong's nominal aunt, and you can call the old body Jane's family in the future. ”

"Then the junior should be respectful and obey his fate...... Jane, everyone!"

Shi Xiaofei immediately climbed up the pole.

"Housheng, why do you need the help of the old body when you come here this time? ”

Jian Yixin said straightforwardly.

"Returning to Jane, everyone's ......"

Shi Xiaofei didn't hide it, and immediately informed Jian Yi of his intention.

"Wen Qiyun? Hou Sheng waited for a while, the old body needed to ask the people below. ”

said.

Jian Yi gestured to the maid beside her, and after the maid resigned and left the room knowingly, she simply diverted the topic intentionally or unintentionally before anyone returned.

"Housheng, in fact, you shouldn't take the risk to come to the capital, because the capital is no longer a place for you to come. ”

“...... The juniors know, but the juniors have to come. ”

Shi Xiaofei was silent for a moment and said.

"Have you been instructed by that One?"

Jian Yiyi pointed out.

"It's not. Shi Xiaofei shook his head decisively. The juniors admit that there are indeed Xia Fan's predecessors who are fueling the troubles, but everything that follows is a choice made by the juniors themselves, and it has nothing to do with Xia Fan's predecessors. ”

"Can the old body know what you're for?"

Jian Yi sighed lightly.

"For one truth, one justice!"

Shi Xiaofei unconsciously clenched his fists and said.

"Truth and justice?"

Jian Yi was puzzled.

"This matter has to start with the adoptive father of the younger generation......"

Shi Xiaofei explained the ins and outs in a few words.

"Cui Xingping? ”

After hearing this, Jian Yi couldn't help but muttered thoughtfully.

"Jane, do you know the adoptive father of the younger generation?"

Shi Xiaofei suddenly became a little excited when he heard this.

"I don't know, but I've heard something about him. ”

Jian Yi shook her head and said.

"I also hope that everyone can tell the younger generation in detail. ”

Shi Xiaofei said with a solemn expression.

"You must have heard from Little Red about her mother, right?"

Jian Yi asked without answering.

"Yes. ”

Shi Xiaofei nodded without hesitation.

"Do you know? Xiaohong's mother not only killed her husband and abandoned her daughter, but even killed her former sister in order to monopolize the power of the thrush, and the old man's blind eyes were given by Xiaohong's mother. ”

Jian Yi pointed to her eyes and said lightly.

When the thrush boat completely fell into the hands of Xiaohong's mother, the thrush boat was completely reduced to a tool in her hands, but it was a pity that the children in the boat were ignorant and ignorant. ”

"Can you just let the shopkeeper's mother slaughter you?"

Shi Xiaofei said in astonishment.

"Hehe, we haven't resisted, but Xiaohong's mother has received the full help of the Demon Sect, and over the years, all the sisters who dare to take the lead have already let Xiaohong's mother get rid of it. ”

Jian Yi said with a bitter smile.

"Then what does this have to do with the younger adoptive father?"

Shi Xiaofei frowned.

"Xiaohong's mother has promoted her cronies since she mastered the thrush boat, and they have been placed in important positions in the boat, and the woman who has crossed paths with your adoptive father is Xiaohong's mother's cronies' apprentices. ”

Jian Yi said unhurriedly.

"Maybe Xiaohong's mother didn't expect that this woman would have a deep love affair with your adoptive father after she intersected, and even accidentally exposed some secrets in the boat, which led to the unfortunate encounter that happened to your adoptive father later. ”

"What the hell is the secret?"

Shi Xiaofei remembered it clearly.

Dai Xingheng had said the same thing before.

"I don't know about the old body, but is this secret important?"

Jian Yi said lightly.

“......”

Oh, yes.

Is this secret important?

Judging by the results, this secret must be related to the conspiracy of the Demon Sect.

It's a pity that the adoptive father who realized the clue didn't have time to investigate in depth and was calculated by the Demon Sect.

All the way.

This can be said to be an accident caused by his adoptive father's amorous affairs.

However, his adoptive father never told him this before his death, but he always hoped to return to the Star Picking Tower.

At this time.

The maid returned.

She came to Jian Yi's side and bowed, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

"In the future, there is news about Wen Qiyun's matter. ”

Immediately.

Jian Yi walked towards Shi Xiaofei, who was uncertain.

"Two days ago, someone found out that he had been in contact with the people of the Cloud Palace, and then disappeared. ”

"Missing?"

Shi Xiaofei came back to his senses and said with wide eyes.

"Yes, at least none of our people have discovered Wen Qiyun's whereabouts for the time being. Jian Yi said softly with relief. "However, during this time, the old body will attract more attention from the people below, and maybe we will get the news in a few days. ”

"How many more days will it take?"

After listening to Shi Xiaofei's speech, Lu Shaoyang fell into deep thought and muttered to himself.

"Brother Lu, what should we do now?"

Shi Xiaofei couldn't make up his mind.

And so on. ”

Lu Shaoyang said with a solemn expression.

"Wait?"

Shi Xiaofei stared at Lu Shaoyang, hoping that he could explain his thoughts.

"Xiao Fei, the situation in the capital is intertwined now, you and I are confused, so before we sort out the current situation, we had better not act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Lu Shaoyang said thoughtfully.

"The more times like this, the more anxious we become. ”

“...... I understand. ”

Shi Xiaofei said gloomily.

He understood what Lu Shaoyang meant.

But he felt even more helpless and sad about his powerlessness.

In addition to relying on others.

He can't seem to do anything.

It's like he knows that his enemy is the Demon Sect, but he can only hide everywhere, for fear that the people of the Demon Sect will find them.

At the end of the day.

It's nothing more than that his strength is too weak.

So weak that he doesn't even have the qualifications to become an enemy of the Demon Sect.

"Xiaofei, let's take a good rest for a while. ”

Lu Shaoyang seemed to sense that Shi Xiaofei's mood was different, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

He is not Shi Xiaofei.

For the Demon Sect, he is more out of a vigilant attitude, and he will not take the initiative to provoke the Demon Sect unless he has to.

He is very self-aware.

The affairs of the Demon Sect are not yet the turn of a small person like him to care.

When the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people on top of it.

Even if the Demon Sect set off a catastrophe, the only thing he could do was to protect the people he cared about from being harmed.

As for rebelling against the Demon Sect?

I'm sorry.

He really can't do it, and he doesn't have the ability to do it.

In fact, he is not afraid of death, but only of meaningless death.

The more he investigated the Demon Sect, the more shocking Lu Shaoyang became.

He suddenly found that this was no longer the level they could interfere with, didn't he see that the Cloud Hall had begun to investigate the Demon Sect?

However, if Shi Xiaofei wants to track down, Lu Shaoyang can only accompany him.

Who let Shi Xiaofei rely on a great grandmaster behind him.

Meanwhile.

It has been a few days since Chen Ji returned to the Wei Mansion, but he has never seen his father.

It's not a question of whether his father wants to see him or not, but Chen Ji doesn't have a chance to see him at all.

Because of this time.

The Duke of Wei stayed in the palace and did not return home.

Finally.

In the evening of that day, Wei Guogong returned home.

The child welcomed his father home. ”

As a little grandfather, Chen Ji naturally had to go to meet his father after learning the news.

"Hmm. ”

Wei Guogong was a middle-aged man who looked very mature and majestic, and when he saw Chen Ji who greeted him outside the mansion, he only bowed his head slightly, and his reaction was quite cold.

followed his father all the way back to the mansion, and the father and son were silent, and the entourage around them was even more silent.

"Er, come to my father's study, and everyone else should step back first. ”

Entered the main hall.

Wei Guogong said in a calm tone, and then walked straight in the direction of the study.

Walk through the atrium and promenade.

Soon after.

Wei Guogong sat on the chair in the study, he picked up the tea that had already been brewed on the table and took a sip gently, and his eyes gradually fell on Chen Ji, who was drooping his head in front of him.

"Er, raise your head and let your father take a good look at you. ”

Wei Guogong put down the teacup and said softly.

"It's Father. ”

Chen Ji hurriedly raised his head and looked directly at his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

It's been two years.

Now my father's temples are a lot grayer.

“...... You've grown up. ”

Wei Guogong looked at Chen Ji for a long time, and sighed for no reason.

"My father is also a little more vicissitudes than before. ”

Chen Ji's nose was inexplicably sour.

"Er, it's because my father is ashamed of you. Wei Guogong looked at Chen Jidao, who had grown into an adult in front of him. "From the age of eight, my father drove you back to the ancestral home, and in the next six years, my father never went back to Yangchuan to see you, until you were fifteen years old before returning to the capital, but my father was busy with government affairs and neglected you, and within half a year, you and my father and son were separated again......

"Father, you are not to blame, everything is the result of the child's own doing. ”

Chen Ji suppressed his voice and said.

"You've really grown up. Wei Guogong looked at his child with complicated eyes. "It's a pity ......"

"Father, what is a pity?!"

Chen Ji blinked his dry eyes and looked at Wei Guogong blankly.

"Xu'er, do you know why my father urgently recruited you back this time?"

Who knew that Wei Guogong changed his words and diverted the topic.

"The child doesn't know. ”

Chen Ji subconsciously shook his head and said.

"Not long ago, my father has asked His Majesty for my life, and after a hundred years of being my father, you will inherit the title of Duke of Wei. ”

Wei Guogong said expressionlessly.

"Father?!"

Chen Ji shouted in disbelief.

"In the next period of time, you will be the governor of the government with your father, and you will be familiar with the operation and handling of the affairs of the imperial court as soon as possible...... Alright, that's all for today, you go down. ”

After speaking.

Wei Guogong waved his hand at Chen Ji.

“...... It's the father. ”

Chen Ji didn't dare to disobey, and directly resigned and left the study.

Moment.

Chen Ji left not long ago.

Wei Guogong ordered someone to summon Guo Lao and the black-faced man to ask about some things, and finally only told them to take good care of Chen Xu's safety and waved them away.

It was late at night.

But Wei Guogong still stayed in the study, and dinner was sent to the study by the people in the house.

Duration.

There are constantly people coming in and out of the study, and these people are basically Wei Guogong's staff and cronies.

"Old Guo, have you noticed it, we seem to have become marginal people in the mansion now. ”

The black-faced man who noticed this situation seemed to open the conversation inadvertently when he met Guo Lao.

"Little Heizi, do you think in Grandpa's heart, which is more important between us and those people?"

Guo Lao said disapprerovitically.

"Hehe, to put it mildly, they can't compare to us at all. ”

The black-faced man smiled innocently.

He and Guo Lao were both retainers of the Duke of Wei.

Especially himself.

After saving his old mother from Wei Guogong's kindness, it is impossible for a black-faced man to betray his grandfather in his life.

When he was in the year of the general horn, the Duke of Wei sent himself to the training of the Shenwu Army, and only returned to the Duke of Wei's mansion to serve as the grandfather's attendant until the age of the weak crown, and then rose all the way to the chief of the guard in the palace.

On what basis?

It is his loyalty and strength.

The same is true for Guo Lao.

Guo Lao used to be a down-and-out scholar, repeatedly not hired, and almost committed suicide by throwing himself into the river when he was disheartened.

Otherwise, why would Grandpa let them escort and protect Grandpa's family later, instead of other people who are more capable and powerful? In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a relationship of trust.

Although the grandfather seems to be alienated from them now, they still have nothing to fear.

"Little sunspot, do you have a feeling?"

Guo Lao said suddenly.

“...... Yes. ”

The black-faced man was silent for a moment.

After getting along with each other for so many years, he didn't understand the underlying meaning of each other's words.

It's just that.

But he didn't dare to say it directly out of concern in his heart.

In fact, as early as two years ago, when the grandfather decided to send his family back to his ancestral home Yangchuan, they already had a premonition with each other.

Grandpa.

It seems to be supporting the orphans.

Otherwise, this cannot explain the changes in the grandfather in the past two years.

It's not so much that the grandfather is alienating them, but that the grandfather has given them another important task.

The most obvious point is that the grandfather handed over all the Xuanpao armor to the black-faced man, but nominally to protect Yangchuan's family.

There were five hundred warriors in total.

But these five hundred black-faced men dared to proudly claim that they were definitely far superior to the same number of Shenwu troops.

After all, this is the hole card accumulated by generations of Wei Guogong.

Even His Majesty has nothing to say.

Because Guogong can have 500 private soldiers, this is the ancestral system established by the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, and the ancestors are not enough to law.

In this era, no Wang Anshi shouted this sentence.

What the hell happened to Grandpa?!

Compared with the black-faced man, Guo Lao obviously thinks more.

If he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know it in his heart.

Just because he doesn't ask doesn't mean he doesn't have the courage.

Because he always believes.

Grandpa will give them an explanation.

"Do you regret it?"

Night.

After Wei Guogong had dealt with everything, he looked at the flickering candle flame on the table alone.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Regret? hehe......"

Wei Guogong laughed inexplicably when he heard this.

"The wind knows the grass, the board knows the Chengchen, this is the only thing I can do for the Great Jin in the end...... From now on, I, the Duke of Wei, will no longer have any debts to speak of with the Great Jin!
