Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Xuexing had a headache. He originally wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Zirong, but he felt that it seemed a bit unfeeling to say so.

In the end, he had no choice but to pinch Xiao Zirong's chin and said seriously, "Eat!"

This is why I really don't want to tell him. Xiao Zirong is not such a curious person, he is just worried that someone will target Xiao Xuexing.

When Xiao Xuexing was still on the front line before, those people were ready to move. To put it bluntly, they were worried that Xiao Xuexing would be more difficult to deal with if he had foreign military exploits.

At that time, they were all just predictions, and no one could guarantee that Xiao Xuexing would really win this battle.

Now that he really won, not only won but also won beautifully, those people must be even more restless.

Seeing that it is impossible to suppress the opponent politically, it is better to come to the simplest way - to kill a hundred directly.

This method is simple and crude, but very effective. People are dead, and no matter how great the credit is, it will be nothing but mourning after death.

He reckoned that Xiao Xuexing might not want to make him worry so he refused to tell him, or it might be that Xiao Xuexing knew about his previous feat after he came back and was afraid that he would be impulsive.

Since Xiao Xuexing refused to speak, Xiao Zirong decided to go back and ask others.

As for the candidate...it is naturally Ling Fu.

The two little eunuchs beside Xiao Xuexing had been serving him personally, and Xiao Zirong couldn't find a chance to ask him, besides, they might not dare to tell the truth.

Xiao Zirong was a little quieter when he had something to eat.

Xiao Xuexing watched from the side and knew what he was thinking, and he was relieved after finding that the other party had eaten quite a bit.

After eating, Xiao Zirong saw that Xiao Xuexing looked a little tired, so he got up and said, "Brother is running all the way, let's rest earlier, I'll go back first."

Xiao Xuexing gave him a strange look: "Can you sleep when you go back so early?"

During the day, I slept for more than half a day, and I couldn't even wake up.

Xiao Zirong knew that he was a little impatient, so he said without changing his face, "I'm a little energetic, but I can go to read a book or something, so I won't disturb my brother's sleep."

Xiao Xuexing was indeed a little tired, so he waved his hands and said: "Then go back, read less books at night when the candles are dim, and be careful not to damage your eyes, and you will have to heal yourself when the time comes."

When Xiao Zirong heard that the candle was dimmed, he was a little dumbfounded.

If it was an ordinary person's house, it must be dim, like them... As long as they need it, the servants can make his study look like a shadowless operating room!

But when he heard it later, he remembered what he had made before, and quickly said: "Brother, wait a minute, I have something for you, Ah Yin, go and get the lacquer box on the third shelf from the left in my study."

Xiao Xuexing covered his mouth and yawned, "What is it?"

Xiao Zirong said with a smile: "Wait until brother finds out."

Not long after, Ah Yin brought the things, Xiao Zirong opened the lacquer box and took out the pair of plain glasses inside: "Brother, try it?"

After seeing it, Xiao Xuexing asked, "Is this the one brought by the First Prince? What are you doing for me? My eyes are not sick."

Xiao Zirong said: "The top of this is ordinary glass, I just think this is pretty, and it's not bad to wear it as an accessory."

Xiao Xuexing glanced at it, and had to say, this mirror frame is really pretty.

Unlike Xiao Ji's, the gems on his are obviously specially designed. The chain hanging on the temples of the glasses is also inlaid with two gems, one red and one white, at the place where it meets the temples.

The red gemstones paired with the golden frame are indeed very attractive.

Xiao Xuexing took it and tried it on, and found that there was no difference, it was like having an extra piece of glass in front of him.

Xiao Zirong looked up and watched Xiao Xuexing put on his glasses, and froze there on the spot.

He has always known that Xiao Xuexing is good-looking, but no matter how good-looking a person is, after getting along for a long time and getting used to seeing him, he won't feel anything, but he just sighs occasionally.

But now under the candlelight, after putting on the glasses, Xiao Xuexing's demeanor became unpredictable, refined and abstinent, with a trace of evil spirit, the lenses of the glasses made his gaze even colder.

Just looking at it so coldly and indifferently, Xiao Zirong couldn't help her heart beat twice.

Who can resist the elegant and ascetic beauty?

Xiao Zirong clutched his chest and said, "Come... come here, bring the mirror over and let my brother have a look."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Xiao Xuexing: "Brother, don't take things with you lightly."

"Huh?" Xiao Xuexing was a little confused: "Not good-looking?"

Xiao Zirong shook his head crazily: "It's so beautiful, I'm afraid that when you return to Jiankang or Yanzhou City... how do you say it? Throwing fruit carts? Hey, if you are smashed to death like Wei Jie, then It's too wrong."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuexing smiled and nodded his eyebrows: "Naughty."

Xiao Zirong glanced at it and didn't dare to look any more. She couldn't take it anymore. When she wasn't smiling, she was a bit cold and unapproachable. This smile was like a thousand flowers blooming, and it was even more unbearable.

Soon the mirror was brought over, and the maid kneeling below holding the mirror glanced at Xiao Xuexing, blushed and lowered her head.

Xiao Xuexing turned his head and looked in the mirror. This image made him feel a little strange, but it was indeed pretty. He nodded in satisfaction, took off his glasses and said, "Put it away."

Xiao Zirong asked, "Don't you like it?"

He originally wanted to say that if he didn't like this look, he could do other styles.

In the end, I heard Xiao Xuexing say: "I can't take it with me when I sleep."

Xiao Zirong only realized after hearing this, yes.

He stood up neatly and said, "Then I won't disturb my brother's rest."

After he finished speaking, he bowed down in a dignified salute, Xiao Xuexing couldn't see his pretentious posture and waved away people: "Go quickly."

Xiao Zirong left Xiao Xuexing's yard with a smile, and said as soon as he stepped out of the yard, "Aman, go and see what Lieutenant Ling is doing. If he is free, call him over."

He still remembered the injuries on Xiao Xuexing's body, if someone really assassinated him...

Xiao Zirong's face darkened, assassinated his brother on his territory, treating him as a dead person?

Aman immediately took the order and left, and after a while Ling Fu followed her to Xiao Zirong's study.

Ling Fu was still a little puzzled when he came in, and after saluting, he asked, "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Zirong put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "What's the matter with my brother's arm injury?"

After hearing this, Ling Fu immediately showed embarrassment: "Your Highness, this... why don't you ask the general?"

Xiao Zirong said in his heart that if he is willing to say it, I still need to ask you?

But this can't be said, and Ling Fu might not tell him after he said it.

So he directly put on an inscrutable expression, looked at Ling Fu calmly and said, "Just say what you want."

Ling Fu glanced at him and thought in a daze that the person sitting in front of him was his general.

It's not that these two people look alike, but that their demeanor just now is exactly the same.

Ling Fu was very conflicted, standing there rubbing his hands but refused to speak.

Xiao Zirong immediately understood that Xiao Xuexing probably gave him a password.

After all, he is not a person who likes to make things difficult for others. After thinking for a while, he pushed a piece of paper and put down a pen and said, "Come on, write it down."

Ling Fu was taken aback when he heard that, Xiao Xuexing did say that no one was allowed to mention that matter in front of Xiao Zirong, but it seemed that he really didn't say that he couldn't write about it.

Ling Fu has been by Xiao Xuexing's side all the time, it's definitely not good if he can't read, and he can write naturally.

It's just that he didn't expect there to be such a loophole, he picked up the pen hesitantly, and wrote a line.

After he finished writing, Xiao Zirong pulled the paper over and took a look, and couldn't help asking in surprise, "Hisself?"

The wound on Xiao Xuexing's arm that Ling Fu wrote on the paper was done by himself with a ruler, but...why?

Regarding Xiao Zirong's question, Ling Fu shook his head and said, "This subordinate really doesn't know."

Xiao Zirong nodded and asked Ling Fu to go back to rest, and said: "Don't tell anyone about your coming to my place tonight, let alone brother."

Ling Fu nodded frantically, he also wished Xiao Xuexing didn't know, although they took advantage of the loophole, but... if his general wants to punish people, then he can't run away.

After Ling Fu left, Xiao Zirong looked at the paper and thought about it, the more he didn't understand.

Xiao Xuexing... doesn't look like he has any special hobbies, so what made him attack so hard?

Even when ordinary people punish themselves, the force on themselves is still light. Although he didn't see what the wound looked like, he beat himself to bleed with a ruler... This is not an ordinary ruthless attack.

Xiao Zirong changed hands and threw the paper into the small charcoal stove next to him, feeling a headache for a while.

Since it was Xiao Xuexing who did it himself, it was not easy for him to ask more questions. Maybe Xiao Xuexing really had some unspeakable secrets?

Because of this incident, he didn't sleep well that night, and naturally he was not very energetic the next morning.

When I had breakfast with Xiao Xuexing in the past, Xiao Xuexing looked at him and said, "You, why are you so curious?"

Xiao Zirong was eating with half-closed eyes, but when he heard this sentence, he woke up immediately. He looked up at Xiao Xuexing cautiously and asked, "Brother already knows?"

Xiao Xuexing was noncommittal, and Xiao Zirong became more and more sure that he knew what happened last night, so he could only touch his nose and say, "This matter has nothing to do with Ling Fu, and he didn't tell me about it."

"Huh?" Xiao Xuexing turned to look at Xiao Zirong: "Lying in front of my face?"

Xiao Zirong said straightforwardly: "He really didn't tell me, I asked him to write it down."

Xiao Xuexing: ...

He was about to be laughed at by this little bastard, among other things, he was proficient enough in heresy.

However, this matter was not particularly important, so he could only say, "Ling Fu was not punished."

He will not punish Ling Fu for this matter, he has no secrets from Xiao Zirong, if Ling Fu is punished, he is worried that his subordinates will not dare to say anything to Xiao Zirong in the future.

What's more, what Xiao Zirong said was correct, Ling Fu did not violate his order, he was not allowed to say it, but Ling Fu wrote it down.

Xiao Xuexing paused and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, but I just want to wake myself up and don't need to think too much."
