Chapter 549

But even if you don't come, you must at least ask someone to answer.

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard someone knocking at the door: "Sir, your guest has arrived."

Xu Mingyi said in a loud voice, "please come in."

The man answered and pushed the door open.

Ji Xiu took Ji Wanyou into the elegant room and arched his hands at the girl sitting there. There was not much expression on his face, and his tone was neither cold nor hot: "Miss Xu."

Ji Wanyou smiled: "I haven't seen Miss Xu for a long time."

"Yes." Xu Mingyi got up and saluted: "Ji Shangshu, Miss Ji, please sit down."

The father and daughter sat down. Jixiu didn't go to the tea before the meeting. He asked straight away, "Miss Xu asked Jimou to come here. What's important? I have to risk an interview here?"

From the last time he saw the little girl in the lacquer shop with King Yan and King Shisun of Dingnan, he knew that he should not judge this Xu girl by looking at ordinary girls——

If not, he would not come today.

But there are many people in Pingqing hall. If someone tells him to meet the girls in the town government, I'm afraid there will be trouble.

"Don't worry, Ji Shangshu. I've taken care of everything. No one will say a word." Xu Mingyi said, "I really have something important to talk about when I invite Ji Shangshu to come today. To be exact, I want to make a deal with Ji Shangshu."

Deal?

Ji Xiuwei frowned - the Duke of Zhenguo was about to return to Beijing. At this time, what would the other party do with him?

After hesitating for a moment, thinking of the current situation of himself and even the imperial court, Ji Xiu slightly turned his head and looked at his daughter: "Wan'er, go to the hospital and watch for your father. Don't ask anyone to come near here."

This is an elegant room in the backyard of Pingqing hall.

Each elegant room exists alone. The left and right don't worry that the walls have ears, and he noticed just now. Miss Xu arranged to guard nearby——

But when you spend money on your daughter, you always have to arrange a job for her.

Ji Wanyou understood in her heart and didn't say much, so she avoided it.

"Miss Xu can speak frankly now." if the deal is not a deal, it's not too late for him to decide whether to agree or not.

"I want to inquire about an old thing with the Minister of justice Ji - the death of the former Emperor 18 years ago. I don't know whether it was really caused by an old disease or by the so-called miracle doctor who was found outside the palace?"

Ji Xiu's face changed.

He was asking the other party to say

But he didn't expect to be so straight!

And straight as hell!

He subconsciously denied the girl's eyes waiting for an answer, and even couldn't help looking left and right. Then he lowered his voice and said, "as we all know, the first emperor died of illness! I don't know where Xu heard the rumor!"

"Of course I know the well-known things." Xu Mingyi looked at him with calm eyes. "Now what I want to ask is what people don't know - otherwise, why do I invite Ji Shangshu here?"

Referring to this old incident, Ji xiuxin jumped wildly, but a sneer overflowed between his lips and teeth: "back 10000 steps, even if there was an inside story, what reason does Ji have to tell Miss Xu?"

Tell each other what's fatal. Is he crazy?

Just for the tea in front of you? When the other party asks such a question, he will say it?

The little girl is so naive that she is ridiculous.

"The reason is natural - Ji Shangshu didn't listen carefully just now. I said from the beginning that this time is to make a deal with Ji Shangshu, which is not in vain." the girl raised her eyes and swept through the closed door, "for example, in exchange for Miss Ji's life - what does Ji Shangshu think?"

The book is made by the official account. Pay attention to VX [book friend base camp] and get a cash red envelope for reading!

Ji Xiu's face was cold.

"Why, you want to threaten me with Wan'er's safety?!"

He dared to say such words in front of him. He saw that the little girl was crazy!

Bad

Wan'er has just gone out, and there are many other people outside!

Ji Xiu put his hand on the table and was about to get up, but he heard Xu Mingyi say, "Ji Shangshu thinks too much. As a woman, I'm not going to threaten her father with an innocent weak woman."

Jixiu frowned and turned to look at the door. The light had been lit under the corridor. Through the window lattice, he could see his daughter's shadow standing on the edge of the corridor.

"However, it's also true to say that it's to exchange Miss Ji's safety, but it's not danger, but only safety." Xu Mingyi said: "Ji Shangshu tells the truth, and I guarantee Miss Ji's life in the future."

Ji Xiu understood.

But he still felt funny: "can't I protect my own daughter? I still need a girl to guarantee it?"

"I can protect myself now, but how can I be sure when Ji Shangshu can't protect himself in the future?" the girl's tone was calm and serious, without ridicule or the slightest sense of deliberately exaggerating the crisis.

Everything is in front of us——

The worst result can be seen at a glance.

"..." Ji Xiu's eyes changed.

In the future?

The future of his family is indeed not optimistic.

The emperor had killed him before, but he pretended to be stupid and managed to stabilize the situation for a while. Now the imperial court is hiring people

This is from himself.

If we look at the overall situation, the people's hearts are shaking, there are constant disturbances, large and small, and the king of Yan was assassinated again before returning to the North... Everyone wants to live. Will the king of Yan really have no resistance when he is desperate?

Then there is the Duke of Zhenguo

Previously, he often said that if the Xu family alone talked about rebellion, it was too whimsical, but that was before... He didn't expect the emperor to do so quickly. The current situation has been very different!

Now, if the Xu family is really forced to fight against the imperial court, which is about to be terminally ill, and those large and small forces take the opportunity to rush up to share food, Daqing is afraid that it will really be over

Every time he thought of this, he would scold himself in the bottom of his heart - how could he have been blind and got on this broken ship!

If you don't have the ability to steer, you know you're fucking blind! Now, the boat is going to be tossed and sank. We can only die together!

Not to mention, when his second son died in vain, he was used to retaliate against the king of Yan

Even if there is a misunderstanding, he knows what he has done. It is impossible to erase everything because one sentence can be used.

Speaking of it, he cut off his own life after the shipwreck early

Thinking about this, Ji Xiu looked at the girl who was calm and relaxed in front of him, pretended to sneer and asked, "protect my daughter's life in the future... Miss Xu has such a big tone in the current situation of the Xu family. Is it because the Duke of town has secretly reached a consensus with some noble person?"

He knows something about the Duke of town——

Previously, if he said that the other party ate inside out and secretly colluded with the king of Yan, he would not believe it.

But now I can't say
