Baixiqiao opened the door and came in: "His Royal Highness..."

"roll!"

"Hey, why are you angry at me? Your Majesty's edict has been issued, and the world knows it. Do you think nothing happened because you stay here and don't go out or see anyone?"

The smell of alcohol in the house was so strong that Bai Xiqiao couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly opened the doors and windows, grabbed the wine jar that Qi Xiao was holding, and said sharply: "Drink, drink, drink! I won't kill you! Who dares to give it to you?" If the wine comes, I will deal with it by military law."

"Get out!" Qi Xiao was very drunk, his whole body was groggy and light, and he wanted to grab the wine from Bai Xiqiao, but he couldn't even grab Bai Xiqiao's sleeve, "Give it to me!"

"It's enough!"

"give me!"

Qi Xiao was top-heavy and threw himself on Baixiqiao. Baixiqiao took a step back, and Qi Xiao fell directly to the ground.

Baixiqiao was also angry. Ever since he came back, Bashan Qixiao hadn't stepped out of this small courtyard. He started to drink heavily, and within two days when the imperial decree for the appointment of the crown prince arrived, he hid in the house and drank even more. .

Bai Xiqiao knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so he only said that Qi Xiao was sick and needed to rest, and tolerated him being drunk for several days, but Qi Xiao became more and more self-defeating, as if he wanted to drink himself to death.

Bai Xiqiao threw the wine jar, grabbed Qi Xiao by the lapel of his clothes, lifted him up, carried him out of the room, dragged him to the large water tank in the courtyard, and threw Qi Xiao into it.

"You sober me up! What kind of words!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qi Xiao was suddenly thrown into the water tank. He was already quite drunk, and he choked on a few mouthfuls of water. Half awake.

Zong Sheng rushed over when he heard the movement in the courtyard, and quickly pulled Qi Xiao out of the water tank, put him on his shoulders and helped him back into the house, scolding Bai Xiqiao: "Why are you crazy?!"

"Am I crazy or is he crazy?! Your father is drinking himself to death, so you just let him?!"

Zong Sheng was too lazy to quarrel with Baixiqiao, so he helped Qi Xiao back to the house, but he stopped when he reached the door. The smell of alcohol in the room was terrible, and even Zong Sheng couldn't help frowning. In an empty room, Zong Sheng led people into the next door, helped Qi Xiao to sit down, and turned around to find clean and change clothes.

Bai Xiqiao leaned against the door and stopped Zong Sheng: "Don't pay attention to him, let him be sober."

Zong Sheng pushed away the Baixi bridge and ignored him.

Baixiqiao sighed, sat next to Qi Xiao, and asked, "Are you awake?"

Qi Xiao had a splitting headache, stroked his forehead and tilted to the other side: "Brother, leave me alone."

"I don't care who cares about you? It's okay, I know you feel uncomfortable, but drinking can't solve the problem. His Majesty ordered you to return to Yuanjing, and it won't last forever."

"What am I going to do when I go back? The case of the general and the master has been dealt with by His Majesty the Qin family, so that's the end of it.

And my mother is gone, what else should I do when I go back. "

There was no reason for him to go north to Yuanjing City, so why should he go back.

"Aren't you going to avenge Concubine Lin's revenge?"

"Oh! Revenge? Even if I ascend to the throne of God, I can't just execute whoever is executed, let alone Concubine Zhao."

Qi Xiao laughed back angrily, "Or do you want me to become like them, fighting for power and profit, killing whoever I want?"

"That was not what I meant."

"Brother, it's not worth it at all... It's not worth it for the general to be loyal to the emperor and defend the country all his life, it's not worth it for the morality that the master abides by, and it's not worth it for my mother's persecution! We fought desperately on the battlefield and were his butcher's knives. Could it be that the master Teach us the truth?!"

The matter of the Qin family's secret information about the Occupation Office had been revealed as early as when Qi Xiao investigated the Dali Temple case. Tiance Camp took Li Sheng away. Although Chi Yue didn't say anything afterwards, His Majesty must know everything he should know. But until Qi Xiao left Yuanjing and went to Yuanzhou Mansion, there was no movement at all. What happened to the investigation of the military salary case of the Ministry of War, Qi Xiao was thousands of miles away, so he didn't know at all.

Until they tried their best to solve the mystery of the year from the secret letter of the office.

Back then, Bai Liu was in charge of the southwestern military power and stationed at Fenglin Mountain, and he never got involved in party disputes.

The Gongsun family firmly controls the Ministry of War, and the Qin family has repeatedly failed to win over Bailiu, causing early discord.

The reason why the Qin family couldn't tolerate Bai Liu was that the Qin River flooded back then, and when Bai Liu was stranded in Chuanyang, he accidentally discovered that Chuanyang and the surrounding two states were greedy for disaster relief money and river repair funds.

These state capitals and the Ministry of Industry are all controlled by the Qin family.

At that time, Bai Liu had no direct evidence to present to His Majesty, so he could only hide it. After the flood, he invited Han Chenzong's brother to investigate secretly as Jianghu, which unexpectedly alarmed the Qin family.

What's worse, there is actually someone who occupies the office buried beside Qin.

The Qin family made a trick and secretly removed half of the army's salary when it passed by Chuanyang.

There are all kinds of dirty things hidden in the household department, and it is not easy to detect for a while.

Later, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households quarreled over military pay, which gave the Qin family an excellent opportunity.

When the Gongsun family realized that the Qin family was going to deal with Bai Liu, they chose to stand by and watch. Since Bai Liu was someone they couldn't win over, they might as well sit on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity to seize the Southwest military power.

"Brother, that person doesn't care at all.

Under the turmoil of power, the truth about river repair money, disaster relief money, military pay, the truth about the general and the master are all unimportant! "Qi Xiao was trembling with anger, "It doesn't matter who is the prince!I'm just a pawn! "

Qi Xiao understood all this since he was a child. He was born in that imperial city, and the people there did everything for their rights. Only those with rights can live and live well.

He may have been away from Yuanjing for too long, so he mistakenly thought that he could live according to his own ideas, do what he wanted to do, and love the people he liked.

"Are you going to resist?"

"He made you a general, so you are willing to work for him?!"

"Xiao'er..."

"The water in Yuanjing City is so dirty, you want to push me in?!"

"How can you still rely on me? Listen to what you are talking about yourself! Why do you drink like this? Is it for my father and master, or for someone else? Don't you know?! What a strength!"

After Baixiqiao yelled, Qi Xiao propped his forehead and stopped talking.

Bai Xiqiao sighed, he naturally knew what Qi Xiao was resenting.

What they are looking for is the truth, not the "result" of today.

Bai Liu was only impeached but not convicted back then. Their master Gu Shanmo and Han Chenzong were framed and hunted down, but they also killed those people. There was no possibility of "reversing the case".

The secret letter from the Accounting Office was not submitted by Qi Xiao to His Majesty, but by Xuanji Ying, which is the responsibility of Xuanji Ying. Although Qi Xiao was annoyed, he had nothing to say.

Even if His Majesty used this matter to deal with the Qin family, they couldn't control it, but Qi Xiao couldn't stand being made into a marionette.

But Qi Xiao has been a marionette since he was born, he has never been able to be his own master, whether it is the king of Chu or the prince, it is not his own choice.

He chose Tang Ling!What he wanted was Tang Ling!

Bai Xiqiao put one hand on Qi Xiao's shoulder: "Okay, cheer up.

Think about it, if Tang Ling was here, what would he say? "

If Tang Ling is here?

He would probably say with a smile: "The Qi Xiao I know is not an indecisive person."

Qi Xiao lowered his head, and took out a seal from his bosom, which was left to him by Tang Ling. It wasn't until they returned to Bashan that Baixiqiao brought him into this small courtyard and gave it to him.

Jade is not a very good jade, but it was made by Tang Ling herself, engraved with an epiphyllum that was about to bloom and half-bloomed, and a garden full of withered crabapple trees... Tang Ling did not give Qi Xiao any jade during the four months in Bashan. Half a letter, a few words, but left behind after leaving, what exactly does he want to think?

Chuisi Begonia means longing for home.

Is he waiting for him?

Qi Xiao held the seal in his hand, he must fulfill their agreement, and Tang Ling will definitely wait for him.

"Hey... pack up, we should head back.

No matter what you think, His Majesty's will cannot be violated. "

Bai Xiqiao didn't know what to say, Qi Xiao wouldn't listen anyway, but Bai Xiqiao was really worried that his willfulness would kill him.

Zong Sheng came in with clean clothes in his hands: "Master, let's change your clothes first."

"You all go out."

Bai Xiqiao stopped talking and went out with Zong Sheng.

Zong Sheng glared at him when he reached the door.

"...Blame me, okay, blame me! I really owed him in my previous life, and I've only been worrying about him in this life!" Bai Xiqiao was so angry that he turned his head and left.

Zong Sheng didn't know how to persuade Qi Xiao, and he didn't know how to persuade Bai Xiqiao. All he could do was to clean up Qi Xiao's room.

When he entered, Chi Yue had already packed it up inside.

"……Let me do it."

Chi Yue stopped his hands with a smile, watched Zong Sheng clean up, and said, "I'm used to seeing people fighting to the death for the high position, but I haven't seen anyone who is depressed because of winning the crown prince.

Your Highness is so unhappy? "

His majesty's decree came quickly. Apart from the imperial edict to enshrine the crown prince, and his majesty's reward, everyone was overjoyed, only Qi Xiao fell ill suddenly.

Zong Sheng glanced at Chi Yue, but did not answer. No matter how he looked at it, he was not happy.

Chi Yue sighed, and the smile on his face turned into sorrow in an instant: "If the person who occupies that position in the future is not His Highness but someone else, I will die a terrible death."

Zong Sheng was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

"Just kidding, it's not enough to die.

But if it's someone else, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again. "

Zong Sheng was stunned. He never thought that Tiance Camp is His Majesty's dark department. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally be succeeded by the new emperor. At that time, it is impossible for Chi Yue to follow Qi Xiao. If he is urged by Qi Xiao, he will return to In the darkness, it disappeared from now on.

Zong Sheng suddenly reached out to grab Chi Yue, and squeezed his wrist tightly.

Chi Yue frowned. Zong Sheng pinched him very painfully, but he wanted to be held by Zong Sheng all the time, even if it hurt.

"Can't you leave Tiance Camp?" It wasn't a good place in the first place.

Chi Yue laughed, his eyes bright: "It's not impossible, I'll give it a try.

You wait for me to find you. "

"……it is good."

With Chi Yue's promise, Zong Sheng seemed to be relieved gradually, and slowly let go of his hand.

Chi Yue felt the force on his wrist slowly withdraw, and couldn't help but look down at Zong Sheng's hand, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze there, but his eyes darkened.

Chi Yue held Zong Sheng with his backhand, raised his eyes to meet Shang Zong Sheng's gaze, and said with a smile: "Not far from Shaoyang, the capital of Qi State, there is a small place called Luxi. If you go to Shaoyang, you will pass by there. There is a beautiful lotus pond, wait for me there."

"it is good."

Chi Yue pounced on Zong Sheng and kissed him, I'm sorry, I want you to wait for me.
