The next day, a slave screamed in the master bedroom, "Ahhh

Xie Chen slept soundly, and the sleepiness caused by her shouting was completely gone, and he got up again at this time, and shouted without tenderness at all: "Who robbed the rooster of the job?" Early in the morning, what is it called? What is it called? I don't even call souls like that! You're still not letting people sleep! ”

The slave explained, "Huh? Is it a major general? How can you lie down and sleep here? ”

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to ask? This is my home, I want to stay, I don't want to stay, you eat my home, live in my house? You want to take care of me now? Xie Chen glanced at her angrily.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Major General, I came to Madame's room to clean up just now, and I didn't see that the person lying on the bed was you, and I thought there was a corpse lying on this bed, so I was a little confused for a while, and I woke you up with yelling."

Xie Chen's heart was furious by her, and he heard the unpleasant words again, endured it, controlled the anger in his heart, and squeezed out of his teeth word by word: "You reorganize the language for me again, who did you just say is the dead man?" ”

The slave felt the irrepressible anger in his eyes, so she fell to her knees and began to beg for mercy.

Xie Chen repeatedly suppressed the fire in his heart, and could barely communicate with her calmly: "Since you are a first-time offender, I kindly warn you once, when you are here in the future, keep your mouth clean for me!" ”

"My bad, my bad, I shouldn't have said that, I'm damned, I'm damned." The slave knelt on the ground with a frightened expression and said.

Xie Chen patted his head before he recalled what the slave maid said just now, and couldn't help muttering: "Yes, I miss her very much, and I even want to sleep in her room." She couldn't help but recall the grievances she had suffered before, and said guiltily: "If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have left Xie Mansion......"

Xie Chen thought about it for a long time before he climbed out of the whirlpool of memories with difficulty.

"Hey! Don't get on your knees, get up and get back to your work. Take out all the things on this bed and wash them, look at this bed, if I hadn't slept all night and would have fallen to ashes, and, do as I say, whether she comes back or not, light sandalwood for me every day, she once told me that she likes the smell of flowers and plants, and if she comes back one day, she doesn't smell the smell, and she has to settle accounts with me again. ”

"Yes. The slave understands. ”

Walking to the door, Xie Chen suddenly remembered that an old man was coming: "Ha, I haven't seen him for so long, I don't know if he is still the same as before, I don't know if he will stand at the door like before and wait for me to sleep until noon?" ”

opened the door, and sure enough, the person outside the door had been waiting for a long time: "Yo, wake up?" It's not time for lunch yet, do you want to go back and sleep a little more? ”

"Don't be poor, now give you two a choice, first, you stay here, I'll do something myself; Second, you and I will go to the main guest room and wait for a while, and I will calculate that it will not be long before someone will come to me in person and talk to me properly. Xie Chen looked at him as if he was treating a friend.

"Why do you want me to go with you? Don't all your subordinates work? Do you Xie family just watch them eat white rice? The man said.

"I'm at ease when you're by my side, besides, your martial arts are even praised by the emperor, and no one else can compare, what if he gives me a secret weapon halfway and hurts me? Do you just watch me, who has been born and died with you for so many years, die in front of you? Can you bear it? Xie Chen was still asking for his consent.

"I finally know the reason why you bought me at a sky-high price and took it with you, heh, I treat you as a treasure, you are good, treat me as a substitute for the dead, a shield?"

"Hey! You're too humorous, don't you understand it! Xie Chen sulked a little.

"Oh, I know. How could you be so kind as to involve me in your family affairs. The man leaned against the door with his sword in his hand and said, "I'll have something to deal with, so ......"

"Ask you again, are you going?" Xie Chen glared at him.

"Hey, I'm really scared of you, so I'll put that little thing aside for a while. Lead the way. ”

On the way to the main guest room, Xie Chen asked him, "Were you moved by me just now and came with me?" Well? ”

"No, it's when you're annoying that you can annoy people."

"Can't you talk well? Also, there's one thing I'm curious about, is there no word humor in your dictionary? ”

"No, I think you have a good sense of humor. Besides, what's something you're not curious about? ”

“……”

When the two of them slowly walked to the main guest room, General Xie had been waiting here for a long time, and before the two of them pushed the door, a deep voice suddenly came from inside: "Chen'er is here?" ”

"You wait a while and listen to me, and no matter what he says, don't break out and show your flaws." Xie Chen suddenly grabbed his wrist and emphasized, "Don't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"I don't need you to say it, I know what to do."

The two pushed open the door and sat down in their seats.

Old General Xie put down the teacup in his hand: "Ahaha, Chen'er, who is this?" ”

"This is my friend, five years ago from a trip, just came back, visited me, because there is no place to live, so let me arrange a place to stay, I came this time, I was supposed to see the map in this hall."

"Huh? Since we're friends, don't see each other, why don't you stay here? General Xie said.

"No, he can't get used to the taste of the food here, our taste here is too light, I think he should be placed in the bustling street in the center of the city, there is a paradise for countless travelers, there is everything you need, although the accommodation is a little expensive, but the environment is still good, what do you think?"

"Okay, you have a good idea, just so you can take him around and let him enjoy the prosperity of Nanzhao." General Xie said.

Xie Chen refuted his words: "Shengjing? You should be mistaken, I don't know how many corrupt people in the Nanzhao court now, the economy is barely stable, and the taxes at this stage are still rising little by little, resulting in the misery of some poor people. ”

"What? Has Nanzhao now turned from prosperity to decline? ”

Both Xie Chen and Old General Xie looked at him at the same time.

"Chen'er, why do I think your friend's voice is a little familiar?" Old General Xie began to look at him.

"Oh, his timbre is relatively common, more or less familiar, the first time I saw him, I thought it was the voice of Prime Minister Bai. Then again, whose voice do you think it is? Xie Chen asked him rhetorically.

"Ah, I thought it was...... Harm, what are you doing about that, get down to business, who did you go to see yesterday? "General Xie doesn't beat around the bush.

"Seeing that he went, he invited me to the big restaurant in the center of the city, and asked me to get together." Xie Chen said.

"Did you see any strange people yesterday?"

"No, who do you want me to meet? Do you have any special ability to see things a hundred miles away? Foreseeing the future? Xie Chen looked at him suspiciously.

"Then can you help me find out why that entourage of mine died? How did he die? ”

Xie Chen laughed after hearing this: "Hahahahahaha, what you said is really interesting, he is not my entourage, what do I care about him?" Besides, he's your entourage, you don't know how he died, and you don't send someone to investigate, you come to me to find out what's going on? ”

"He's also a member of the Xie Mansion, can you find out how he died?" Old General Xie was a little annoyed.

"Hey, stop! He has no blood relationship with the Xie family, he is not related to me, he is not a brother, a relative, a friend, you say that he is a member of the Xie family, is it a bit far-fetched? "Xie Chen would rather die than continue to wade in this troubled water.

"Do you have to make me beg you?" General Xie Lao began to use the bitter meat trick again: "When your mother died......"

"Shut up!" Xie Chen suddenly roared loudly, as if he had used all the strength of his body, his eyes were bulging, and he did not hide the slightest anger.

"Oh, what are you angry about? There are still people watching here. Old General Xie was taken aback by him and pointed to the person next to him and said.

But the man's eyes were closed, and he didn't pay any attention.

"You're not qualified to mention her!" Xie Chen didn't want outsiders to hear about his family's private affairs, so he took the fire back again.

"Then you can help me find out how my men died!" Old General Xie continued to mess around.

"Why don't you check for yourself, if you have a broken hand or a lame leg? Is the brain out of control? Are the intestines directly connected to the brain? Isn't there any logic in speaking? Xie Chen's mouth became fast, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about, and the old general Xie had a question mark on his face.

"Hey, as long as you know, I won't investigate this matter anyway, you have to check it yourself!" Xie Chen warned him again.

"Then I'll give you two choices now, first, you and Mingwan sleep in the same room and sleep for three days......"

"You're delusional!" Xie Chen interrupted him without hesitation.

"The second choice, you let Siwan come back and watch your affection for Mingwan." General Xie continued to say the second choice.

"Hahahahaha, where did you get the confidence to think I would listen to you? You don't think I'm going to listen to you, do you? I'm not the same person I used to be. Xie Chen laughed and gave the person next to him a look, and the man went out to wait without saying a word.

"If I only rely on my words, of course I wouldn't be so determined that you would listen to me, then what if this matter involves Siwan's safety? Are you still going to sit idly by? General Xie said.

"You dare to touch her!"

"What if you try? Let me tell you Xie Chen, if you don't choose one of them, she will have a catastrophe today, do you believe it or not? General Xie threatened him.

"Why can't you get along with me and Siwan? Yes? How? Is it because she is not the princess of Jinzun that you have in mind? I just want to pull a Mingwan over to answer me for what! Xie Chen was furious, the green tendons of his hand grasping the chair burst out, and his eyes stared at him viciously.

"Then don't blame me, who asked you to announce in front of the civil and military officials in the main hall that day that you were going to marry Princess Jinzun? So many people heard it, but you didn't keep your promise, but let the old emperor's tricks go around the mountains? It's true, someone else sold you, and you still help others count the money, I'm here to make you don't be deceived anymore! I'm here for your good, do you know? Are you still anxious with me? You're a fool! Old General Xie persuaded him bitterly.

Xie Chen hurriedly retorted: "Don't tell me your self-moving words in front of me!" Can you stop kidding yourself! On the surface, you say it over and over for my good, but what about it? You are just for your own selfish desires, isn't the reason why you are doing all this is to let after the Holy Princess marry, your status in the court will be improved, and then those civil and military officials, and even the emperor will respect you for three points? ”

"You talk nonsense!" General Xie said.

"Am I not right? If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have looked at me, thinking you could control everything, but what about reality? Isn't everything out of your own hands? Xie Chen reasoned with him: "You said that when you didn't become a general commander before, did you take care of me?" Since Siwan got married, you inside and out, big and small, more or less no matter what you have to do, you have to chirp and talk crookedly for a long time when you encounter any unsatisfactory things, the last time you talked to that slave, I watched you cry with my own eyes, do you dare to say that there is no such thing? ”

"I'm just trying to keep the little family affection left between us, don't think about it!" General Xie said.

Xie Chen sneered: "Heh, if you really want it for my good, you can blast out the person who has come to annoy me for three days and two times!" I can't see her now, and I can't help but get angry when I see her! If you still remember our family affection, you can let Siwan come back and live here. ”

"That's impossible, don't worry."

"Then I won't choose!" Xie Chen didn't bother to look at this hopeless person.

"Then you're not worried about her safety? At this point, my people must have searched half of the people in the city, right? General Xie said.

"What!" Xie Chen got up from his chair in a panic: "Let me tell you, she is also the princess of our Nanzhao Kingdom again, and the royal power behind her should not be underestimated!" I warn you, don't mess around! ”

"Then it's up to you to make your choice, and I promise that as long as you make your choice, my people won't touch her, okay?" Old General Xie stared at him with straight eyes.

"And what if I say someone will protect her?" Xie Chen said.

"Are you talking about the Secret Guards?" Old General Xie smiled meaningfully: "I have been in the court for so many years, and I have more or less inquired about them, think about it, they can take care of them for a while, can they take care of them for a lifetime?" You don't think I really don't have the right opportunity to do it, do you? ”

"As long as you don't move her, I'll choose!" Xie Chen was helpless.

Old General Xie laughed heartily: "Hahahahahaha, Xie Chen, Xie Chen, Jiang is still old and spicy, you finally lost in my hands." Hahahaha, since you care about her so much, then you only have the first choice now. ”
