Chapter 82: Old and Unreliable

Xiao Zhenheng couldn't figure out what Xiao Ji meant, so he slowly raised the glass and put the wine glass to his lips, but he didn't drink half of it.

Xiao Ji was not surprised by this, he finished his wine, and then picked up the wine jar and poured it into the bowl.

As if he couldn't hold the jar steadily, he poured out the wine and spilled it halfway across the table.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Zhenheng narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't figure out what he was going to do.

"Drink!" Xiao Jiyou shouted, and while shouting, he dipped the wine on the table and wrote a Ji character on the table.

Xiao Zhenheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at the person in front of him again, and finally recognized Xiao Ji.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Xiao Ji slowly carried the wine jar back to his table, hummed a few times, and threw away the jar.

"Let's go," Xiao Ji slurred and helped Cheng Shuiyao up, and the two staggered out.

Xiao Zhenheng watched the two of them leave, and waited for a while before throwing down two taels of silver and getting up.

"You go slowly," Xiao Er took the silver enthusiastically, with a smile on his face.

It's not common for a master to be so generous, but these two taels of silver can make him leave a lot.

Xiao Zhenheng glanced at Xiao Er, and then left here slowly.

Along the way, it was like walking aimlessly, Xiao Zhenheng paced back and forth, slowly approaching a family.

Inside the house, the snoring was like thunder.

Xiao Zhenheng smiled secretly in his heart, pushed the door directly in, and saw two people sitting in front of the stone table.

The two of them are conscious, how can they look half drunk?

Xiao Ji didn't have time to stop his voice, he was still imitating the sound of snoring, and just turned his gaze to the door.

"Okay, it's almost done," Xiao Zhenheng saw that Xiao Ji was energetic, and hurriedly waved his hand, closed the door and sat in front of the two people.

"Dad, do you know what the situation in the capital is now?" Xiao Ji didn't dare to delay the time at all, and hurriedly threw out his question.

"I understand a little, but I don't know deeply," Xiao Zhenheng shook his head, his expression a little helpless.

When he was exiled before, he left alone in order to find an opportunity to turn the tables, but this time he cut off contact with Xiao Ji and them.

In order to get back in touch with them, Xiao Zhenheng had to reveal his whereabouts and attract their attention.

However, there are drawbacks to doing this, and he is also being watched by other forces, so there are many inconveniences in doing things, and the news is a little late.

"As far as we know, the real culprit behind this time is not only the emperor, but the prime minister is also involved, and it accounts for a large part of the relationship," Xiao Ji hurriedly shared his news with Xiao Zhenheng, wanting to hear his opinion.

"I already knew about this," Xiao Zhenheng was not surprised at all, and his expression did not change.

"You already knew?" Nie Yuanheng and Cheng Shuiyao both spoke, looking at each other with a little puzzlement in their eyes.

Cheng Shuiyao's mind turned a few times, and her mind began to think quickly.

In his previous life, Xiao Zhenheng returned to Beijing alone to ask for an explanation, but he was shot by random arrows and died under the city wall, and he didn't have a chance to see Xiao Ji at all

So there is not much description of him in the book, and it is very unclear what he knows.

"Yes," Xiao Zhenheng nodded, and then shared some of the information he knew with the other two people.

"The prime minister has been planning for many years, and in recent days, his behavior has become more and more blatant, as if the emperor is helpless against him."

"That's why he dared to assassinate us so openly," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, and had a calculation in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, the prime minister should not have made this matter so clear, and now, the only reason for this phenomenon is that even the emperor can't control the prime minister.

"That's right," Xiao Zhenheng glanced at Cheng Shuiyao approvingly, and then spoke, "The emperor's health is not good, and he has been silently recuperating by the imperial doctor for many years, but according to the news from the eyeliner of the Tai Hospital, the emperor has three years to live at most." ”

"That's why the prime minister is doing it with such fanfare?" Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were a little more clear.

No wonder the prime minister suddenly swaggered, co-authoring because he felt that he didn't need to hide it at all.

"This is only one reason," Xiao Zhenheng nodded, and shook his head again, "There should be another reason, but I haven't found out." ”

"How do you know that there is another reason if you don't find out?" When Cheng Shuiyao heard this, she subconsciously retorted.

"According to the prime minister's temperament, he won't be so flamboyant until something is certain, so there must be other reasons for his current state, but we haven't found it for the time being."

Xiao Zhenheng looked up at Cheng Shuiyao curiously, feeling that his daughter-in-law was not at all like the rumors.

Sure enough, the rumors are not to be believed.

Xiao Zhenheng lowered his eyes slightly, probably having figured out Cheng Shuiyao's character.

Xiao Ji twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a while, but did not speak, but his expression was a little not good.

Cheng Shuiyao was also thinking about her own affairs, and the three of them were silent for a while, and the air was a little more nervous.

Xiao Zhenheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Ji with straight eyes.

Just when Xiao Ji thought he had thought of something important, Xiao Zhenheng suddenly said, "By the way, what about your mother?" ”

This......

Xiao Ji had a black line on his face and didn't want to answer this question.

His father is always like this, he can't do without Xie Yin in three sentences, so he almost takes Xie Yin with him from time to time.

Seeing that Xiao Ji didn't answer his meaning at all, Xiao Zhenheng was not angry, turned his gaze to Cheng Shuiyao, and said with a smile, "Where is your mother-in-law?" ”

"At the border," Cheng Shuiyao replied truthfully, "we were afraid that this trip would be dangerous, so we didn't dare to bring our mother-in-law and younger siblings back, and we bought a house for them to live in." ”

"So that's the case," Xiao Zhenheng frowned, a little lost in his tone.

"Let's get down to business now!" Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Zhenheng with a heartbroken look, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt his train of thought.

"Oh, yes," Xiao Zhenheng raised his head, as if he had just reacted, and scratched his neck, "There is still business to do." ”

This looks extremely unreliable, Cheng Shuiyao hesitated a little, and silently poked Xiao Ji.

"He's like this, you don't care about him," Xiao Ji knew what Cheng Shuiyao was going to ask, and replied helplessly.

In addition to being more reliable on the battlefield, his father is not in tune for the rest of the time, and he is used to it.

Cheng Shuiyao was a little embarrassed, and smiled at Xiao Zhenheng, not knowing what to say to ease the atmosphere.

"How are you going to get back?" Xiao Zhenheng didn't know what they were thinking, his expression was a little more serious, and he began to deal with business.

"The news of our return to Beijing has been known to the prime minister," Xiao Ji shook his head, "so the methods we are using now are more extreme." ”
