Chapter 269

He and the Duke of the town are people who refuse to be with Xia Tingzhen. They are all dissidents in Xia Tingzhen's eyes.

If he was only dissatisfied with Xia Tingzhen the year before last, now, under dissatisfaction, he really has a sense of crisis.

"When it comes to Xia Tingzhen, the old thief, he has been targeting me everywhere recently..." Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "although I have never dealt with him, I still think it's strange."

He can't say how keen he is, but he is too familiar with Xia Tingzhen.

Naturally, he can clearly feel the change of the other party's attitude.

Because he was aware of the other party's target, he became more and more intolerable, and his dissatisfaction was simply written on his face - if he wasn't tough, the old thief would really think he was easy to bully!

"Will it have something to do with Xia Han?" the young man whispered.

Jixiu put down the tea.

"I also thought about this possibility, but in Xia Han's case, I just gave Xu Ying a reminder - what happened after that has nothing to do with me at all."

He had already disclosed this matter to the young man in a previous conversation.

This man recommended himself at the door. Although he doesn't completely trust each other now, he controls whether people go, stay or die in his house——

Anyway, the other party is dead.

He didn't know each other's purpose, but it happened that they had the same goal now, so they were reluctantly relieved to use it.

"Maybe Xia Shoufu relied on that clue, so he suspected that the whole thing was the plan of adults, so it's unknown to blame adults for Xia Han's death..."

Ji Xiu was annoyed when he listened.

"He didn't have the ability to find out who the enemy behind him was, so he took his anger out on me!"

He lived most of his life and was misunderstood by his enemies for the first time!

But he can't explain to each other, can he?

Tell the other party - I just took the lead in the matter of your son at first. Is there someone else who really calculated behind his back? Why don't you check it again?

What's the difference between kneeling in front of each other and pleading for mercy?

Moreover, there is no use in explaining to such a person for mercy - even without this layer of gratitude and resentment, depending on his ambition, he will be attacked sooner or later.

After all, it's no use being soft, and he will never choose to be soft with this treacherous villain!

However, one thing is worth pondering——

"In Xia Han's case, there must be someone behind it."

If the rescue of Xu Ying by the five cities army and horses department was only accidental, then what happened later was by no means what Xu Ying could do alone.

Even if the thunder attack on Fengtian hall is enough to make Xia Han have no room to get rid of his crime, no matter how good the opportunity is, someone needs to be able to connect the two things together - the Xuanqing Taoist, that is, the current national teacher, is the key to this opportunity.

Thinking of the national teacher, Ji Xiu could not help frowning slightly.

He always felt that the other party acted as if he knew him... But he had never had any intersection with this person before.

Of course, he is the Minister of the Ministry of war, and it's not surprising that the other party wants to approach him.

"I still can't think of who is the planner." Ji Xiu's eyes are full of thought.

He also guessed at some people, but he ruled them out one by one.

"If even the Xia family can't really find out, it's a good idea to come to this person." when the young man spoke, there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.

It's normal not to find it.

So close to her, did he ever think that she would do it at first?

Even he was cheated by her

In judging people's hearts, he has not yet fallen so hard.

This memory is really profound.

Enough for him to remember this life.

But

He did not intend to talk about these so-called truths with Ji Shangshu in front of him.

Once people know too much, it is easy to distract their eyes, which is not conducive to making up their mind to move forward.

Therefore, he continued to speak softly: "but now it seems that this man is not our enemy for the time being at least - what adults should really think about now is how to deal with self-protection."

Ji Xiu's hand in his sleeve became a fist.

Self insurance?

When the first emperor was in power, he held the strength of the three major camps of the Beijing army. Xia Tingzhen didn't even dare to fart in front of him!

But now, he wants to seek "Self-protection" under this treacherous villain?!

The humiliation caused by this gap made Ji Xiu's eyes colder: "in the past, I was always too lazy to care about him, but told him to make progress step by step! Now, since we want to fight, we will settle the new hatred and old hatred together! This time, I must take this bad breath well!"

The young man smiled at the bottom of his heart.

It's not necessary to boast so blindly and confidently——

"Adults still need to deal with this calmly." after he advised him, he asked, "I don't know if adults are in the palace tonight, but what conflict did they have with Xia Shoufu?"

Ji Xiu sneered.

"If he dares to conflict with me in the open, I can look up to him - unfortunately, he only dares to play those sinister tricks in the dark. As for today, it's just a few words."

A quarrel of words?

The young man thought of the angry look when Ji Xiugang came back and said, "as far as I know, Xia Tingzhen likes to show off his tongue."

The wily chief assistant is introverted and insidious. He always disdains to fight for these meaningless words.

"You know a lot without officialdom." Ji Xiu couldn't hear any praise or criticism in his tone. He glanced at the young man and asked, "so what?"

"I'm afraid Xia Shoufu intended to say something to annoy your excellency. If there was any previous move to impeach Your Excellency, he must also know that the contents of that note alone can't shake your fundamental -- therefore, I judge that it's just to make your excellency upset and upset. If you really fall into this trap and act impulsively, it's a big taboo."

Ji Xiu's face didn't change much, but after thinking for a moment, he could tell whether it was right or wrong.

"In my humble opinion, you need to be calm and serious about this matter, and you can't go against it." the young man said: "in the final analysis, if you want to deal with Xia Shoufu, the key lies in your Majesty's views and decisions. This is the most labor-saving way without self harm."

Ji Xiu subconsciously twisted his eyebrows.

"I can't make such sinister moves as words behind my back."

The young man laughed at the bottom of his heart again.

Can't you do it?

How to explain the previous use of Xu Ying?

Therefore, it's not that you can't do it, it's just that you can't do it - the emperor's reuse of Xia Tingzhen for many years can't be easily provoked by Ji Xiu's few words.

"Sir, we need to outwit in the dark."

Under the lampshade of green bamboo, the fire jumped slightly.

A knock on the door of the study interrupted the low conversation.

"Who -" Ji Xiu asked.

"Father, it's me."

A girl's clear and gentle voice answered him.
