Chapter 138: Born Tasteless
At this time, Zhu Heng was very different from before, and since Xia Xiao said the letter he sent to General Ji of Heitai City, he didn't dare to speak out.
As Xia Xiao said, Zhu Heng didn't want more people to know about it. Therefore, only he and Zhu Da knew the details, and the letter was written by hand. Zhu Heng didn't expect that Wang Ji didn't burn the letter, the latter would not be so stupid, and he also left a way back for himself. If the news is revealed, he can use Sino Gold to report it voluntarily to ensure his own safety.
In the troubled times, everyone has an extra mind, and those who don't pay attention to it will die!
From Longgang to the imperial capital, Xia Xiao experienced these things that are unimaginable, how did he break out of these difficulties? Even if the ministers were calm, they couldn't help but guess.
Even though Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu's strength is good, they heard that Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang have always been alone. The two of them can survive so many hardships and obstacles, they are really young talents.
"In my opinion, Xia Xiao has been able to survive until now, in addition to his own strength, the most important thing is Shu Shuang. ”
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope must have ulterior motives for arranging him to be by Xia Xiao's side. ”
"I've also heard that the Pope appeared during the Spirit Hunt in Narong City. ”
"The City of All Souls too!"
"When encountering a master who protects his shortcomings, if the saint does not punish Zhu Heng heavily, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”
......
In the past, Zhu Heng also had some authority in the court, although he was only a third-grade, it was difficult to compare with General Lin Tian and the two second-grade generals, but they didn't need to do many things. Therefore, Zhu Heng has a lot of rights, but now it seems that he is just accumulating swords, waiting to be inserted into his heart at this time.
At this point, Zhu Heng's heart is no longer important, in short, if it is bad, it can be convicted. can see that Xia Xiao has no intention of stopping and punishing crimes. As he said earlier, he still has to settle accounts with him. Even if Zhu Heng didn't say that the Great Elder would save his life, Xia Xiao would not let him go!
Shu Shuang, who was sitting upright with a white swan neck, looked at Xia Xiao and shifted his gaze, staring at the tepid one. The latter secretly scolded Zhu Heng, and now calling himself out, isn't it equivalent to dragging himself into the abyss?
Zhu Heng gritted his teeth and had his own plans. He can't survive, but with the addition of the Great Elder, he can escape. As long as you don't die, even if you are a beggar, you will have a day to turn over.
"Great Elder, your minions are asking you for help, why don't you bother?"
"What minions? Rebels and thieves, behead them!"
Ji was tepid and disdainful, and his lukewarm appearance made Zhu Heng crazy, he lay on the ground and shouted:
"My lord, you can't fall into the well!"
"Presumptuous!"
Ji Buwen patted the table, got up and saluted Him, but in the eyes of the latter, it was all the evil ministers' ambitions exposed, and they began to blame each other. Without Ji Buwen behind him, how could Zhu Heng dare to be so rampant?
"Holy Lord, since the matter has come to this point, and Young Master Xia Xiao has multiple identities, we should make a judgment as soon as possible, so as not to worry His Holiness the Pope and the people of the world!"
Ji Yi didn't speak, and motioned to Xia Xiao to say, the latter was not polite, took a few steps forward, and walked to Ji Buwen's side.
"Don't worry, my lord, the matter between us has not yet been clarified. ”
"Zhu Heng's wolf ambition, what does it have to do with me?"
Zhu Heng knelt behind him, regretting helplessness, but if he made a big fuss here, he was afraid that he would die faster. At present, no one can be relied on, so he can only wait for the saint to open up, he has done a lot of things over the years, but the crime of treason is a bit big......
When a person has a stain, it can cover up any light.
"The Great Elder is really humorous, where do you think Zhu Heng's courage comes from?"
"Where did it come from, where did it come from?
Xia Xiao smiled evilly and replied:
"Naturally. ”
"You should be rewarded for protecting justice, I also blamed your Xia family at the beginning, the compensation is, what else?
"My lord, if it weren't for your self-righteousness, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. ”
Xia Xiao spoke mercilessly, pretending to have a very low emotional intelligence. But the Holy One wants him to be like this, and he is like this, and the Xia family can only rest assured if the Holy One protects him. Xia Xiao was scared of others, even if his status was not low at this time, he was still a little uneasy.
The adult did not speak, and the villain continued. ”
"At the beginning, Zhu Heng used a plan to cleverly drive away my Xia family, but after knowing that I could cultivate, he made a move again and again. At first, I believed that the adults were also unaware, otherwise they would not have let him be so presumptuous, but Lord Zhu naturally would not give up easily for his own interests. For him, the Xia family and the Zhu family are natural enemies, and only one can survive. If the Great Elder hadn't intervened, or if the incident in the City of All Souls hadn't happened, I wouldn't have pursued it, but my lord, you have deceived people too much. ”
The most bland tone, saying the most arrogant words, this is what Xia Xiao is good at.
"You know that after Zhu Heng began to assassinate my Xia family, he felt that he had no way out, my new identity scared you, if I returned to the imperial capital, you would be in trouble. Therefore, you colluded with Zhu Heng and had a two-month-long encirclement and suppression in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls. ”
"In the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, many people fight to the death because of a glance, could it be that Young Master Xia Xiao's belly is so small?"
"My belly is naturally small, but what you did in the City of Ten Thousand Souls caused my master and old man to do it too. Do you also need human and material evidence for this matter?"
Xia Xiao turned sideways and glared angrily. And Huiyue on the side grabbed the corner of her skirt and prepared to stand up, even if she didn't want to be ashamed, she had to lift the ugly faces of these people.
"Sister Huiyue, don't worry. ”
Huiyue nodded, the heart in her chest beating extremely fast.
Xia Xiao and Ji Buwen confronted each other, there were three teachers at this time, and the Pope was involved, he didn't dare to reverse right and wrong, so he could only say:
"What do you want?"
This is too weak, but Xia Xiao gave up his hand on the pilgrimage.
"This is up to God!"
If ordinary people are not in such a situation, but behind Xia Xiao, after all, there is a saint. He self-destructed his retreat in order to take the longest path of the Holy One.
On one side, Father-in-law Mu came over and leaned over to Ji Yi's ear.
"It is indeed Zhu Heng's handwriting. ”
With a straight face, Ji Yi said:
The handwriting has been confirmed, and it is indeed written by Zhu Heng. ”
The ministers were silent, and Yi Yi said again:
"Xia Xiao, the matter of your Xia family is my negligence, Zhu Heng is your presiding officer!"
When Zhu Heng heard this, he kowtowed again and again, his lips trembled, and he even stuttered.
"Holy Lord, Holy Grace, my Zhu family has always served the work of dogs and horses, and I can't just because of this incident, my family will be ruined. ”
The saint stood up, and the ministers sighed.
"You don't know the seriousness of the matter?"
He was easy to get angry, but the ministers didn't dare to cry out their anger. This anger cannot be quenched.
"If you are an ordinary person, I will shield you as a general and spare your life. But the Xia family has been guarding the north for many years, when did it not work because of the merits of dogs and horses? Border war, the father and son of the Xia family fought to the death for a whole month, but your Zhu family left the battlefield without permission and spared the women and children in the family. Do you mean to say one thing? And the collusion with the Southern Shang Empire, do you know that my loyal soldiers of Great Xia have died under their swords?"
Walking down the steps, Ji Yi threw the wine glass in his hand. Then he got angry and kicked it over.
"Come on, pull down, and wait for the fate!"
"Yes!"
Picking up the red carpet on the floor, Zhu Heng roared and begged for mercy, even if he was dragged down the steps in front of the palace, he still screamed. Ke Yi turned a blind eye and walked to Xia Xiao's side.
"What do you say?"
"When the dynasty is employing people, it is full of frontiers, go to Longgang in the west, and prepare to defend against the enemy. ”
Since it is not a capital crime, Ji Yi was surprised, but he also admired it.
"Uncle Huang, you made a mistake in your judgment at the beginning, saying that Xia Xiao couldn't practice and wasted royal resources, what kind of punishment did you give?"
Ji Buwen hesitated, bent down and said:
"The slave was given death, the money was confiscated, and the position of General Xia Xu and the Xia family army were confiscated, and ...... You can't be a general for life, you can only be a soldier. ”
Taking a deep breath, Ji Yi's face turned blue.
"The Zhu family's capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the rod will be beaten with five hundred, and the imperial capital will be driven out of the imperial capital in the same way!"
"Yes. ”
Ji Buwen nodded, and before he could start to rejoice, he listened to Ji Yidao:
"Uncle Huang, your judgment was wrong, causing the Xia family to suffer for two years, although Xia Xiao still walked back to the imperial capital, but your position as a great elder will be put on hold for the time being!"
"Obey the Divine Commandment. ”
Ji Buwen is clear about the methods of the previous saints, and Ji Yiming said this on his face, and the existence of the actual National Elder's Home is about to die. But even if Ji Buwen knew, what could he do? Now he can't fight against Ji Yi, just this Xia Xiao, there is a head church behind him. And soon, there will also be Ning Theological Seminary.
Yi Yi was secretly happy, although there were some twists and turns at first, but it was quite smooth.
"Now that the truth is revealed, from now on, paste the notice, announce the world, welcome General Xia back to Beijing, and add the official to the knighthood, and be named the second-grade auxiliary general!"
"Thank you, Holy Lord. ”
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and walked to his seat.
For two years, just for this moment, a stone seemed to fall in his heart, and he was relieved for a moment, but his Xia family was a hundred people, and he could never come back.
The ministers looked at it and were in awe. Xia Xiao is only fifteen years old, but he has done this, which is really shocking. Those juniors who were slightly older than him and made it to the final selection looked at each other and knew that they could not be provoked in the future.
In the eyes of everyone, Xia Xiao sat upright, his face was calm, but he didn't know that he was extremely excited in his heart. The grievances suffered by his Xia family have to be known to the world!
"Xia Xiao, I toast you. ”
Yi Yi raised his glass, quite respectful. At Xia Xiao's age, he was still tightly controlled by the National House of Ministers. It seems to be a saint, but it is actually a puppet.
With his eyes moving, Xi Yi saw that the maid beside Xia Xiao wanted to step forward, but Shu Shuang was already kneeling beside him. As a member of the Walking Church, Shu Shuang's status is not low, but in front of Xia Xiao, she would rather take off her vain cloak and lean over to pour wine for him.
In the main hall, Shu Shuang, who had just grown up, wore a black robe and skirt, sat upright, quiet, with long hair covered by jade and carrying a wine jug. Pour a glass of saluting a full glass of wine, then sit quietly aside, watch Xia Xiao pick it up, and touch the saint in the air.
When the wine came to his mouth, Xia Xiao raised his head and drank it dry, it was hot in his throat and flowed into his heart.
