After entering the door of the guard's duty room, Qiao Xie turned his head and was about to open his mouth, when he saw Guan Xianyou's footsteps turning and running towards the small kitchen, his speed was as fast as if his ass was burned by fire.

Qiao Xie yelled, seeing that Guan Xiaoxian didn't look back, so he could only exhort loudly:

"Get a few more dishes for lunch!"

Before the words finished, Guan Xiaoxian rushed into the kitchen quickly, Qiao Xie shook his head amusedly, turned around and left.

After a while, Guan Xiaoxian's head popped out from behind the door frame, and his round eyes scanned the courtyard vigilantly. Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense body.

"Apprentice, what are you looking at?" Seeing his cautious behavior, Fuxi couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Guan Xiaoxian shook his head, suddenly remembered something, pulled Fuxi aside, and asked:

"Fuxi, what happened on the night of Princess Chengping's and General Ling's wedding? Then I passed out, why did I wake up in my own room? Who saved me?"

"Apprentice, how many times have I told you that you have to call me Master." Fu Xi put on a stern face, then thought for a while, and replied, "Actually, I don't know...the wedding banquet was in chaos at that time, a group of assassins He jumped out suddenly, and I was stunned! Qiao Xie appeared all of a sudden, and he and the people from General Ling's mansion captured all the assassins and then ran away suddenly! Take me back to the yard to hide, just as we went back, we saw Qiao Xie coming out of your room, and when I entered the room, I found that you were unconscious, with blood on your head and face, it was scary..."

Fuxi's description evoked Guan Xiaoxian's memories, the strong rust smell seemed to be close to the tip of his nose, and he felt a little sick, so he interrupted Fuxi:

"and after?"

Fuxi replied honestly: "Then he left! At that time, I thought you were chopped off by him, and Heishhou wiped your face for you, so I realized that the blood was splashed on it..."

Guan Xiaoxian nodded mechanically, a little out of his mind.

At that time, he only saw the assassin's arm fell off like a clay sculpture, and then he fell unconscious. After waking up, he left Pingyao City a few hours later. He didn't have time to ask about the specific situation at that time. He was rescued by the guards of the mansion, but it was actually Qiao Xie...

Thinking of this, and thinking about his usual attitude towards Qiao Xie, Guan Xiaoxian suddenly felt restless.

Was he too harsh on Qiao Xie before?

Thinking about it carefully, Qiao Xie just stood in the wrong camp, and it seems that he is not as evil as described in the book... except for greed.

That's right, that's it.

But being in the wrong camp is enough to kill, after all, in the book "The Power of the World", the eighth prince Jing Xi is the male protagonist, but Qiao Xie is unswervingly acting as the old emperor's right-hand man.

Although it seems that the relationship between Qiao Xie and the Eighth Prince is neither salty nor weak, after all, the two stand on opposite sides. Qiao Xie is destined to be unable to defeat the Eighth Prince who has the halo of the protagonist, and the future waiting for him will definitely not be so good...

Thinking of this, Guan Xiaoxian suddenly froze in place.

etc!I belong to the Eighth Prince's camp. In this way, he and Qiao Xie should have a hostile relationship, but Qiao Xie saved his life... How does this count?

You can't avenge your kindness!

Repaying the favor first, and then being hostile, is also unreasonable!

Guan Xiaoxian fell into deep thought.

Seeing him propping his face, Fuxi on the side had a very serious expression, so he took some fresh ingredients and put them on the chopping board, chopping vegetables neatly.

Anyway, the apprentice is lazy every day, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about. As a master, he must set an example and work hard.

The sound of chopping vegetables was very rhythmic, and Guan Xiaoxian's thoughts became miraculously clear with the rhythm, and he suddenly found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding——

Why did he and Qiao Xie have to stand in opposing camps?He can definitely pull Qiaoxie to the side of the Eighth Prince's camp!If he could persuade Qiao Xie to become the eighth prince Jing Xi's man, he would no longer have to worry about whether Qiao Xie was a "benefactor" or an "enemy"!

The sound of chopping vegetables stopped, and Fuxi finished chopping a whole cutting board, wiped off the blade, turned around and went to the ingredients area to pick and choose.

Guan Xiaoxian, who was suddenly enlightened, couldn't help but slapped his thigh and jumped up, rejoicing:

"Too smart! I really am a born politician!"

"What house?" A head came in through the window, and a gentle and cheerful voice sounded.

Guan Xiaoxian took a casual glance and saw Jing Xi lying on the window lattice with a smile all over his face. He was shocked immediately, retracted his raised hands and said respectfully:

"See His Highness the Eighth Prince."

"Guan Gao doesn't need to be too polite." Jing Xi waved his hand, and when Guan Xiaoxian got up, he bowed slightly forward, and at the same time, the smile on his face deepened, and he asked in a low voice, "I don't know if an expert knows, National Normal University Where are people going tonight?"

"……Um?"

Guan Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was still acting as an expert persona, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, and said vaguely:

"It's inconvenient for the villain to reveal the whereabouts of the Master of the National Teacher tonight... The Eighth Prince does not need to be impatient, just wait patiently."

"Is that so..."

A look of disappointment flashed in Jing Xi's eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Guan Xiaoxian hurriedly interrupted, "By the way, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find Commander Joe, but he doesn't seem to be here."

After finishing speaking, Jing Xi was about to turn around and leave when Fuxi walked slowly to the cutting board with two radishes, and when he put down the dishes, he glanced at the two people who were gathered together.

Jing Xi blinked, then sighed suddenly, and said with a worried expression:

"But I think, Commander Qiao would not want to see me."

No matter how you hear this sentence, you feel melancholy.

After Jing Xi finished speaking, she was about to leave, when Guan Xiaoxian jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and rushed over like a whirlwind, holding his hands tightly and said excitedly:

"That's not the case! In fact, our Commander Qiao wants to see you. He is not here now, so he hurried out to find you!"

find him?

Jing Xi blinked, a little disbelieving in his heart, but seeing Guan Xiaoxian's flushed face with excitement, he opened his mouth applaudingly:

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Guan Qingxian wished he could swear an oath of guarantee, he swore:

"If you leave now, when our commander comes back and finds out that we missed you, he will definitely be heartbroken and burst into tears!"

After a pause, Guan Xiaoxian suggested:

"How about you sit in the study for a while?"

Heartbroken?Tears like rain?

Jing Xi rubbed her chin, imagining that Qiao Xie opened her falcon-like eyes angrily, shed tears and made a sound of regret, her whole body trembled like an electric shock, and she slapped her thigh——

I want to see this picture!

"Go, go to the study!"

"okay!"

Guan Xiaoxian quickly ran out of the kitchen, led Jingxi to the study, and pressed him on the seat. Because he was too eager in his heart, he even said the greetings upside down, and was very flustered:

"Our commander-in-chief respects you on weekdays! I miss you so much every day..."

The corner of Jing Xi's mouth twitched, and she looked at Guan Xiaoxian with a warning in her eyes——

Friends, don't talk nonsense, everyone is a family man!

However, Guan Xiaoxian didn't realize the deep meaning in his eyes, and still racked his brains to figure out how to win Qiao Xie a good impression in front of the Eighth Prince.

Judging from what the Eighth Prince said just now, he should have a win-win intention towards Qiao Xie. As for Qiao Xie... Guan Xiaoxian is not sure.

After all, in the original book, Qiao Xie stalked the Eighth Prince Jing Xi, but the reality is not like this.

If you can help Qiao Xie to leave a good impression on Jing Xi first, maybe the two can no longer be hostile, but turn enemies into friends?

Thinking about it this way, it's not too difficult for Qiao Xie to take the initiative to jump into the Eighth Prince's camp!

Guan Xiaoxian became more and more beautiful as he thought about it. When he caught a glimpse of the painting scroll behind the desk from the corner of his eye, he had a flash of inspiration. He thought of something that could ease the relationship between the two. Returning to Jing Xi's side, she said with burning eyes:

"Your Highness, our Commander Qiao really loves you very, very much!"

"……yes?"

Jing Xi twitched the corner of her mouth.

He wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

But seeing Guan Xiaoxian holding the scroll so seriously and firmly, he couldn't help feeling a little curious, wanting to see what he was going to do next.

"It's true!" Guan Xiaoxian said, and stuffed the scroll into Jing Xi's hand.

Jing Xi looked at the scroll, then at Guan Xiaoxian: "This is...?"

Guan Qingxian sighed, like a bystander who knew the truth and was full of wisdom, he pointed to the painting scroll and answered sonorously and resoundingly:

"This is drawn by Commander Qiao himself when he missed you. Whenever he has nothing to do, Commander Qiao will open the scroll here to express his love for you... Cough cough, reverence!"

That's right, the plot in the original book is so magical. If you can't pursue it, you have to draw a portrait and put it on the table to read it every day. Now thinking about it, it's still a bit sad.

It's just that Guan Xiaoxian never saw Qiao Xie secretly saddened by this painting.

After listening to Guan Xiaoxian's introduction, Jing Xi looked strange.

"Is there really a picture of me on it?"

Seeing Guan Xiaoxian nodded firmly, Jing Xi's face suddenly became colorful.

How should I put it... He and Qiao Xie had negotiated to be indifferent in front of outsiders, but what happened to this portrait?It turned out that Qiao Xie laughed at him when he saw him collecting the portrait of Master Guoshi, why is he hiding his portrait now?Also, do you have nothing to take a look at?That's not what my brother did!

Could it be... what do you think about him?

Jing Xi trembled all over, let go of her hand suddenly, and with a "click", the scroll fell to the ground.

Guan Xiaoxian was taken aback for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Jing Xi looked at the scroll on the ground, stretched out his hand as if to pretend to be calm, "Hands are a little sore."

"Ah? Oh..."

Guan Xiaoxian replied inexplicably, seeing that the scroll was still lying on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and was about to return it to Jingxi, when the latter suddenly said:

"Let's put this scroll back in its original place."

Although the purpose of leisure has not been achieved, I looked down at the scroll in my hand, feeling a little unwilling:

"Don't you read it? Our commander-in-chief is very good at painting! You must be handsome and handsome in this picture!"

After finishing speaking, Guan Xiaoxian looked at Jing Xi expectantly, only to see that the latter slowly raised his head, the painting scroll reflected in his dark pupils, mixed with a touch of extremely complicated emotions.

The Eighth Prince, who knew well the deep meaning of the act of "hiding the small portrait", refused in his heart - he was wholeheartedly devoted to Master Guoshi!

I don't want to fall into the complicated emotion of "being coveted by my brother" at all!

If the painting is unfolded now, he will have to solemnly say to Josie:

"Sorry, I only see you as a brother."

Well, according to Qiao Xie's dog temper, he should swing an ax that weighs dozens of kilograms and smash it hard on his clever little head, and then, then there will be a bloody story about a man silent and a woman crying .

Thinking of the treatment she might suffer after the matter unfolded, Jing Xi felt a chill down her back, and hurriedly waved her hands to urge:

"Put it back quickly!"

"It's… okay."

Guan Xiaoxian agreed, but he already had other considerations in his mind. He held the scroll and slowly backed away. Seeing Jingxi heaved a sigh of relief and turned to grab the teacup, he immediately shook his hand pretending not to hold it steady, and the long scroll instantly Unfolded right in front of Jing Xi.

Caught off guard, Jing Xi opened his eyes wide, just in time to take the whole painting into his eyes, he even opened his mouth wide in shock, staring at the scene in front of him, speechless for a long time.

success!

Guan Xiaoxian consciously helped Qiaoxie gain a wave of goodwill. Looking at Jing Xi who looked surprised, he was very happy, and at the same time, he was a little curious about how Qiaoxie's painters were so superb that the Eighth Prince Jingxi could show such an exaggerated expression, so Holding the scroll with both hands, he looked down——

On the pure white drawing paper, Jing Xi's tall and straight figure and warm face are as lifelike as if they were printed on the paper, but... what is the matter with the long-haired, slightly obscene mole on the corner of her mouth? ?What's with the orchid fingers standing delicately beside her face?Cooperating with the orchid finger, His Highness the Eighth Prince raised one foot behind his back, and his whole posture was as cheerful, light and graceful as a bird... and there was also a little bit of weirdness.

Jing Xi was silent.

Even though he was quiet, he was silent.

At this moment, all words seemed so feeble.

Qiao Xie's voice could be heard faintly outside the door, Guan Qingxian subconsciously looked towards the door of the study room, and the next second, Qiao Xie led a subordinate into the study room talking and laughing.

The moment the four people looked at each other, Guan Qingxian could clearly see the surprise in their eyes. He looked down, only to realize that he was still in the posture of unfolding the painting. He hurriedly put the painting away, looked at The other three people who were silent in the room wisely chose to rub their feet with oil, and hurriedly passed by Qiao Xie.

After Guan Xiaoxian slipped away, the lieutenant behind Qiao Xie looked up at Jing Xi with a gloomy expression, and closed the door intimately when he turned and exited.

The "squeak" sound of closing the door seemed to turn on a certain switch in Jingxi. He raised his head and silently questioned the magnanimous Commander Qiao with a gaze full of condemnation——

Brother, is this a bit too much?

The author has something to say:

Eighth Prince (poor): Excuse me, are you my brother?

Commander Qiao (perfunctory): Yes, it’s me, it’s me, yes, that’s it, yes, next time I come again, I will remember that we are brothers and we will keep in touch.

Master Guoshi (hugging the Eighth Prince): Be good, let's go, and we won't play with him in the future.
