C164 A Glass of Wine

Pei Zhongren fell silent.    

    

He had no idea what to do.    

    

Leng Xiaohan sighed, stood up, and patted his shoulder.    

    

Then he walked out.    

    

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. He frowned slightly, as if he had suddenly thought of something. He couldn't help but be shocked!    

    

After a while, he sighed again. He turned around and said, "Some people can't be offended. Offend them. Loyal people, I hope you will remember this lesson. "    

    

These words were said without any explanation.    

    

However, a smart person could understand it with just a few words.    

    

Pei Zhongren immediately thought of the reason why he had fallen into such a situation. It was because of something that Xiao Yun had done. It seemed insignificant and had nothing to do with him, but in the end, it had caused him to fall into such a situation!    

    

He gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Sure enough, a good technique!"    

    

"Achoo!"    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and frowned.    

    

Warden saw it from the side. He quickly went up and asked with concern, "Young Master Xiao, could it be that you have caught a cold? I will get someone to give you two extra blankets."    

    

Xiao Yun was slightly stunned. Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "That's good too."    

    

Warden laughed, as if he had done something extraordinary, and immediately sent someone to arrange it.    

    

This small cell was carefully arranged by them, and it actually felt a little warm. At least Xiao Yun did not feel any discomfort living in it.    

    

It could be considered considerate.    

    

This kind of fact made Xiao Yun feel a little more psychological burden.    

    

Although these people were afraid at first, they were now respectful.    

    

Although they bullied some people in the past, they were very good to him, but he schemed against them...    

    

Was this right or wrong?    

    

He had schemed against them without even giving them a chance to explain. It was because of what they had done in the past. How many vengeful souls were there under their batons? How much money had they taken from them? Some women even gave up their bodies to let them harm them for the last time they saw their husbands.    

    

If they were the ones to make the decision, they would definitely take their lives.    

    

However, they treated Xiao Yun very well.    

    

This...    

    

Xiao Yun rubbed the space between his eyebrows and smiled helplessly. He decided to leave this matter alone.    

    

He was not the decision-maker, nor was he a god. This bullshit matter was really not something he should interfere with.    

    

He laid on the bed and fell asleep.    

    

While he was sleeping, all sorts of things were happening outside. Some of them really had something to do with him.    

    

For example, it was the first time in many years that Old Devil Xiao had rushed to the imperial palace outside the morning assembly to meet the Emperor.    

    

"Your Majesty, what crime did this old official's grandson commit? He actually turned from a person who saved hundreds of people to a murderer. Just based on the empty words of a hedonistic son? "    

    

Facing Xiao Huai'en's unreasonable words, His Majesty only smiled lightly. He stretched out his hand and gestured for Xiao Huai'en to sit opposite of the table. He raised a bowl and looked at the rice inside. He sighed and put it down.    

    

"Recently, the food they have prepared for Zhen has been very soft. Even this bowl of rice is soft and sticky and does not need to be bitten. I can swallow it. Since half a year ago, Zhen's teeth have loosened a little. I can't bite anything that is slightly harder..."    

    

As he spoke, his majesty lifted his head and said with a smile, "We are old after all. Even if we don't want to admit it, we are old too."    

    

Xiao Huai'en's eyebrows twitched. He quickly said, "Your majesty has been around for a long time. How can you be old?"    

    

"Thousands of generations? Hehe, that is the flattery of the world. If Zhen believes it, zhen will really become a fart, worse than fart. A few hundred years ago, the Qin Country was in a precarious situation. Zhen was lucky. I don't have too many worries in my life. Including my ancestors, I have already lived a long life. However, when I am old, I am old. My body is getting worse day by day. The world hasn't changed. It is so heavy that I can't even lift my shoulder. "    

    

The corner of Xiao Huai'en's eyes twitched again, then he let out a long sigh. He said, "Your majesty, this old official is indeed old, but even if he is old... He wanted to do something for his children and grandchildren. He only wants his children to be safe. At the very least, he can't let them be bullied by villains. "    

    

"Hahaha!"    

    

His Majesty laughed loudly and said, "For thousands of generations, loyal officials and treacherous officials, who can say for sure? Not to mention now? I'm afraid it can only be judged by later generations, even if it is me, whether I am a good emperor or a muddle-headed ruler. And it has to be commented by later generations."    

    

Xiao Huai'en said, "His Majesty is naturally a wise ruler, and this old subject is a subject of two dynasties. What he said is naturally accurate."    

    

"Is that so?"    

    

His Majesty shook his head with a bitter smile and suddenly said, "Is there a good child in Xiao family?"    

    

Xiao Huai'en's mouth trembled. After a while, he suddenly stood up and bowed. "Your majesty, although Xiao Yun is young and mischievous, he is just a teenager. He has extraordinary talent and is very sensitive. He can be of great use!"    

    

"Xiao Yun, that kid? No, he is not from the Xiao family."    

    

"This..."    

    

" Saints can't enter their families, they can't be bothered by their families. "    

    

Xiao Huai'en widened his eyes and looked at His Majesty in disbelief. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "My son Xiao Wansheng, although he is stupid, he spent most of his life in the wrong. However, you can stop when you are at the edge of a cliff. You can turn over a new leaf, and you also have the ability to hold on to success. "    

    

"Xiao Wansheng? Yes, a Rank-4 official allowed him to sit stably for less than thirty years. He was worthy of the word Shoucheng. That was good. Xiao Wansheng has advanced to Rank-2, and he will be receiving an envoy from the Bureau of Revenue. How about it? "    

    

Xiao Huai'en turned pale with fright. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your graciousness."    

    

His Majesty waved his hand and said, "It has been a long time since we had a good chat like this. It was rare for us to have a meal together, not to mention those unhappy things. Come, these dishes were specially made for you by me. "    

    

Xiao Huai'en's body trembled.    

    

He slowly sat down.    

    

He reached out and picked up the wine glass.    

    

His hand, which had once held a spear that weighed sixty kilograms, was now trembling slightly under the pressure of this wine glass.    

    

He stared at the wine glass and did not move for a long time.    

    

"What's wrong? Drink it."    

    

His Majesty smiled lightly and said, "Are you complaining that my wine is not good enough? This is a fine wine that Zhen keeps privately. Normally, he would not be willing to drink it. "    

    

Xiao Huai'en looked absent-minded. Tears rolled in his eyes. Then he gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine!"    

    

After saying that, he raised his wine glass and drank it. All!    

    

After drinking it, Xiao Huai'en closed his eyes and quietly sat there.    

    

After a while, the king suddenly said, "Why don't you eat when you drink alone? You are already so old, drinking alone is not good. This is what your Xiao Yun said, you should know it too."    

    

Xiao Huai'en suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of shock.    

    

His Majesty could not help laughing, suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Old Devil Xiao, you don't think that Zhen gave you poisonous wine, right? "    

    

Xiao Huai'en was shocked and lowered his head in silence.    

    

His Majesty sighed helplessly and said, "The Literary Sect of the North Wei has been strong for hundreds of years. There are a total of 13 neighboring countries. Now there are only four left. Among these four... Apart from our Great Qin, many of the land has been looted. Dozens of cities of different sizes had been taken away. The war in the north was never easy. The Xiao family used to be a big family. Your brother, Desolate Tianci, fought the Bo Hu Pass with all his strength. Your brother, Xiao Huaiyi, Xiao Qinghai, died in the rolling stones... In the entire Great Qin Country, who didn't know that the disciples of the Xiao family never suffered any injuries on their backs? When they were alive, they were enemies, and even if they died, they would still make up for the danger! They have contributed a lot to the country and the people. How could Zhen forget this? "    

    

Xiao Huai'en raised his head and heard that His Majesty still remembered his brothers. When most of them died in battle, His Majesty was still not His Majesty.    

    

He could not help but feel emotional.    

    

He immediately lowered his head, afraid that His Majesty would see him crying.    

    

His Majesty sighed and said, "The Xiao family is a hero of the Great Qin. They are all loyal! However, your second son is a genius, and your son is a girl who wants to marry a girl from the Shangguan family. That famous female insect in the capital, is she interested in him? "    

    

Xiao Huai'en could only sigh helplessly when he heard that the Emperor had already said it in such a straightforward manner.    

    

He had long known that this would be the result.    

    

He had also advised his son.    

    

However, that fellow refused to listen. He simply ignored him!    

    

The Xiao family controlled 30% of the military power at the northern border, while the Shangguan family controlled 50%. And this 50% military power was in the hands of that woman!    

    

When the two of them joined forces, it meant that the strongest military power in the entire northern border of Great Qin Country had become one family!    

    

How could His Majesty not be afraid?    

    

Even if Xiao Huai'en had immediately handed over his military authority and returned from the front line, he would still have a leisurely position.    

    

However, this was still not enough to make His Majesty feel relieved.    

    

Now that he had almost said everything, Xiao Huai'en had no other choice but to smile bitterly.    

    

His Majesty looked at Xiao Huai'en quietly, his eyes turning colder and colder.    

    

Suddenly, he waved his hand and said, "Since you are not hungry, then you don't need to eat."    

    

The eunuch immediately walked out and stood beside Xiao Huai'en. He said in a low voice, "Master Xiao, let's go."    

    

"Okay!"    

    

Xiao Huai'en suddenly stood up and strode out of the suppressed room.    

    

As if he had understood something, he also put down something. He looked relaxed and at ease.    

    

His Majesty looked at his back and was speechless for a long time. In the end, he ate a mouthful of rice and swallowed it without chewing.    

    

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "As expected, there is no taste..."    

    

The next day, Xiao Huai'en did not arrive and sent someone to hand over his resignation in the morning court.    

    

From then on, the Great Qin War God, Old Devil Xiao, who was still feared by the North Wei, officially withdrew from the stage of history.    

    

Some people said that he had succeeded and retired, while others said that this was a good start and a good end.    

    

Some people said that he had brought this upon himself.    

    

However, it could not be denied that.    

    

He was the only one who didn't die on the battlefield among the three generations of the Xiao family.
