In the past few days, Taishi Xiao has been sleeping late every day, and at this kind of moment, an old man will always think about a lot of things, even if he is lying in bed, it is difficult to close his eyes

In order to facilitate things, in addition to having a large number of treasures in the room, even in his bedroom, he has also prepared a lot of texts, and the content of these texts is naturally not for anyone to watch

In the deep night, the master sat at the table, dressed in clothes, with an oil lamp, holding a wolf's hair, and writing something on a piece of paper

His body was obviously not very good, and he coughed twice from time to time, and sometimes he coughed, and his face was red

There was a knock at the door, and only a soft voice was heard, "Grandpa, haven't you rested yet?" ”

A sharp light crossed the Taishi's eyes, but the light quickly disappeared, his eyes showed a complicated color, looking at the door that was knocked, thoughtful, and did not answer for a while

"Grandpa...... Rested? The soft voice outside the door sounded again, "Lingzhi boiled ginseng soup for you......"

Taishi Xiao finally sighed lightly, got up, went over and opened the door, looked at the beautiful woman in front of the door kindly, and said gently: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Grandpa, don't you have a rest?" Standing outside the door, it was naturally Xiao Lingzhi, who was beautiful and refined, wearing a milky white jacket, a jade-colored Luo shirt, and a water-colored gauze skirt, carrying a porcelain jar in her left hand, and a jade bowl in her right hand, with a beautiful smile on her face: "Your old man is so old, you don't stay up late at night, your body has always been bad...... This is the ginseng soup that Lingzhi has just boiled, how many sip of it when you are old, replenish your body, stay up late at night, make up some ginseng soup, but you can refresh yourself"

Mrs. Xiao smiled kindly, and when she entered the house, Xiao Lingzhi poured half a bowl of ginseng soup into the jade bowl and put a jade spoon on it, and then presented it to Mrs. Xiao

Xiao Lingzhi took the jade bowl, and drank the small half bowl of ginseng soup, Xiao Lingzhi took the jade bowl, and wanted to pour some more for Xiao Taishi, Xiao Taishi had already waved his hand and said: "That's it, people are old, and they can't be greedy for the small bowl just now, it has made the old man much more comfortable, if he drinks again, he will be panicked......

Xiao Lingzhi smiled, put away the dishes and spoons, picked up the porcelain jar, and said, "Grandpa, then you rest early, it's time to get here, don't stay up too late" After speaking, he bowed and stepped back

Taishi Xiao has already said: "Lingzhi, you wait a minute"

Xiao Lingzhi turned around and asked, "Does Grandpa have any other orders?" ”

"Hmm......" Taishi Xiao pondered for a moment before he smiled gently: "You come here and sit down, grandpa has a few words to say to you"

Xiao Lingzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and stood next to the table, but did not sit down

"Sit down," Xiao Taishi said softly

Xiao Lingzhi sat down at this time

"Lingzhi, you ...... this year Already twenty? Taishi Xiao stared at Xiao Lingzhi, stroked his gray beard, and asked gently

Xiao Lingzhi nodded lightly: "There are still three months"

"Time is like water...... "Master Xiao sighed lightly: "In this moment, seven years have passed, and you have become a beautiful big girl from a little girl" Staring at Xiao Lingzhi, he asked with a smile: "Lingzhi, do you remember the first time we met?" ”

Xiao Lingzhi nodded and said: "Lingzhi will never forget in this life, if it wasn't for grandpa who saved Lingzhi back then, Lingzhi is afraid that she would have died today."

Taishi Xiao waved his hand and sighed: "It's not like that" Leaning back in the chair, his face showed a hint of thought, and said softly: "The old man remembers that when I first saw you, it was raining heavily that day."

"Hmm" Xiao Lingzhi nodded, a hint of color flashed in her eyes, but she didn't know why Master Xiao brought up the old matter again tonight

"That year was the old lady's eightieth birthday" Mrs. Xiao smiled at the corner of her mouth: "He is an old man with a long life, and I, as a son, naturally want to go back to celebrate her birthday, and the old lady lives in Qingpu's hometown all her life, and rarely leaves there, that is, we all entered Beijing, she still wants to live in her hometown, and refuses to enter Beijing......

Qingpu County is a county government under the jurisdiction of Huiji County, and the Xiao family also originated there, so in the hearts of the Xiao clan, their roots are rooted in Qingpu County, Huiji County

Xiao Lingzhi just looked at Taishi Xiao quietly, and couldn't figure out why Taishi Xiao wanted to recall the past tonight for a while, so she didn't speak

"That day, the rain was pouring down, and the old man rushed back to his hometown to meet the old lady as soon as possible, but he didn't stop and returned to his hometown in the rain," Xiao Taishi said slowly: "The old man still remembers that when the convoy was just about to enter Qingpu County, someone appeared on the side of the road, and you were just a little girl at that time, I don't know why, fell on the side of the road, soaked clothes, unconscious...... When the old man saw you, you only breathed a sigh......"

Xiao Lingzhi's expression was gloomy, she lowered her mantis, and said softly: "If it wasn't for grandpa to take it in that day, Lingzhi would only have become a lonely ghost on the side of the road."

Taishi Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "The old man asked you to take you back to the city and invited a doctor...... Finally, I was pitiful and saved your life...... he looked soft and his face was kind: "Later, when I dressed up, it was a very iconic little girl, at that time, the old lady was long-lived, the old man was in a good mood, and he liked your child, so he asked you to worship the old man as a godfather, and in a flash, seven years have passed...... Over the years, you have helped the old man a lot, both public and private, and in the old man's heart, he really regards you as my granddaughter......"

Xiao Lingzhi hurriedly got up and knelt down to Master Xiao, "Grandpa's great kindness, Lingzhi can't repay it in this life"

"Hurry up, hurry up," Master Xiao hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" He actually got up from the chair, stepped forward quickly, helped Xiao Lingzhi up, and sighed: "Lingzhi, over the years, your concern for the old man, the old man is a well-aware view of my Xiao family, and you are the only one who can take the old man to heart...... The old man is not old and dizzy now, these things, that are all clear"

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head and said: "Compared with grandpa's life-saving grace back then, what Lingzhi did was all within her part......

Taishi Xiao bowed slightly, returned to the chair and sat down tremblingly, and said warmly: "Lingzhi, these days, you go to bed very late every night, and you have lost a lot of weight...... Is there something hard in your heart? If there is something difficult, even if you tell grandpa, although grandpa is old and frail, there are some things that can still help you."

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Xiao Lingzhi lowered her head

Her hands twisted the corners of her skirt, and even a fool could see that this girl must have a big heart in her heart

Master Xiao shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's late at night, you go back and rest first and want to open something, you can't hurt your body...... Remember grandpa's words, in this world, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, grandpa has encountered countless turmoil in his life, but he still comes over one by one......"

Xiao Lingzhi nodded and looked up at the kind old man, "Grandpa, Lingzhi understands you...... Rest early."

Master Xiao smiled gently, raised his hand, waved it gently, and motioned for Xiao Lingzhi to go down and rest

Xiao Lingzhi picked up the porcelain pots and spoons and walked to the door, Xiao Taishi suddenly said: "Child, there are some fates, which are destined by God, and it can't be yours if you can't run, it's not yours...... Don't worry about it."

Xiao Lingzhi's delicate body shook slightly, turned around, and bowed, and then retreated

Taishi Xiao watched Xiao Lingzhi leave, shook his head, and sighed, his eyes were full of complicated looks

He was silent for a while, then he pulled up the garment he was draped on, lifted up the wolf's hair, and began to write again, and after a short while, he finally put down his pen, picked up the paper full of handwriting, read it, took an envelope from the side, and put it in

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door

The footsteps were hurried, and soon, the door that was brought by Xiao Lingzhi was pushed open, and Xiao Huaijin of the Ministry of Engineering had already rushed into the room in a hurry, his expression was gloomy, his hands were clenched into fists, and after entering the room, he looked left and right, and saw Xiao Taishi sitting at the table, and immediately walked over to this side

Taishi Xiao frowned and said lightly: "Why are you so alarmed?" I've always taught you to be calm when things happen, how many years have passed, how come you haven't grown at all? ”

Xiao Huaijin came forward panting, "Dad, you've entered the palace...... Entered the palace......"

What he said was very unclear, and Taishi Xiao frowned and looked at him, "Catch your breath and speak again, this day...... Can't come down."

Xiao Huaijin was relieved, and then lowered his voice and said: "Dad, the child listens to your orders, and orders someone to monitor the movements of the two brothers of the Han family, tonight the Xihe prince of Qingguo went to Han Xuandao's mansion, and left in the middle of the night, after the Xihe prince left, Han Xuandao went to the palace late at night......"

Taishi Xiao looked calm, sat on the chair, like Mount Tai, stroked his beard and said, "Did you send someone to guard outside the palace?" Did Han Xuandao leave the palace? ”

"No" Xiao Huaijin said: "I went in for half an hour and didn't come out, then I must have really entered the palace and saw the saint, if the saint didn't see it, Han Xuandao would have come out a long time ago."

Taishi Xiao squinted his eyes, his eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment before he said lightly: "Someone reported that before the prince of Xihe entered the palace to meet the saint today, a few people came from Qingguo, and among them there was a general secretary...... In other words, the Qingguo side must have come to the will......"

Xiao Huaijin hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you know what Qingguo's will is?" ”

At this time, Taishi Xiao had long lost his previous kindness and gentleness, replaced by a cold expression, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes: "I didn't read it out in person, so I don't know the content of the will, but after Mr. Qingyuan left the palace, he told me that after the prince of Xihe entered the palace, his expression was very bad, and he was quite a little unguarded, in my opinion, it must be the will that caused the prince of Xihe to be Shang Zhongli's faction, that is the iron heart to unite with my Dayan, to be able to make him like that, I'm afraid the backyard is on fire......"

"A fire in the backyard?" Xiao Huaijin didn't understand it for a while

Xiao Taishi sneered: "Qingguo's Hou Party, that is a very strong will, I'm afraid it was issued in accordance with the will of the Hou Party......"

Xiao Huaijin frowned and said, "Dad, the Hou Party...... What would it mean? ”

Xiao Taishi glanced at Xiao Huaijin coldly, although this son is now considered a high power, but he has always been a powerful person, in other words, this eldest son is always difficult to see a certain big situation

Thinking about the youngest son who was far away at the border, and then looking at the eldest son in front of him, Taishi Xiao always had a sense of helplessness

"Post-party...... has been obstructing Qingguo from forming an alliance with my Dayan" Xiao Taishi could only explain: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, Qingguo's will, I'm afraid it will be to recall the Qingguo mission"

Xiao Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and then showed an incredible look, "This ...... How is this possible? Kyungkook's post-party ...... Is it crazy? ”
