Chapter 2398 Old Things

"You guys all stand down..." Seeing this scene, Xiao Jun was calm. Although his face turned pale, he could still stand there, trying his best to resist the power of Nascent Soul with his national strength.

"My lord..." All the monks and generals said in unison, "We would rather die before my lord than retreat!"

"Stand back!" Xiao Jun waved his hand and said, "This is a family matter of Gu's family, not a state matter, and you will not be allowed to interfere with it."

"This..." All the monks looked at each other and agreed in unison, "Yes!"

However, they all retreated to the edge of the golden tent and did not leave from the golden tent.

"Alas..." Seeing the monks and soldiers like this, Xiao Jun sighed, looked at Xiao Hua, bowed and said, "Junior Xiao Jun, I have met senior Xiao."

"Yes!" Xiao Hua nodded lightly without returning the courtesy. He walked up to Xiao Jun and said, "You have enjoyed being a king. Now is it time to return it to Xiao Jian?"

Xiao Jun was not surprised at all. He took a deep breath, looked at Xue Ping behind Xiao Hua, and the two Buddhist disciples behind the opened tent door, and said: "In fact, as early as this junior heard that Xiao Jian was protected by a Taoist master. , and with Xue Ping’s words, the junior will know...sooner or later the senior will find the junior..."

"Hehe, two national masters..." Xiao Hua sneered, "At that time, I still felt strange that two Buddhist disciples of the second level of Yuanli could become the national masters of the Shanliang Kingdom. It seems to be just an edict."

Xiao Jun ignored Xiao Hua's ridicule, looked at the people on the left and right, and looked at the falling snow outside the tent, and said lightly: "Junior, this throne was usurped from Brother Wang. I have always felt guilty. . Even if you devote yourself to the affairs of the country, you can't get rid of it. Since it is Brother Wang who wants to take back the throne today, I will return the throne to Brother Wang and ask the senior to tell Brother Wang that he will treat his people well after taking over the throne... …”

At this moment, "Huh..." A gust of wind came from behind Xiao Jun, but after seeing the golden screen, an old woman in simple clothes rushed out. The old woman's hair was gray, and her face was covered with silk. Pa couldn't see his face clearly. However, as soon as the old woman came out, she immediately stood in front of Xiao Jun. Faced with Xiao Hua's power. Without any fear, he just said coldly: "Who said that my husband's throne was usurped? Others can't recognize Xiao Jian's true face. How could the slave family not know the details of Xiao Jian? Xiao Jian is selfish and mercenary. He is addicted to profit. I am a gambler. How can I believe this kind of person? If I insist on listening to one side of my words and believe that I can act in the way of heaven and choose my country’s leader on behalf of the people of Shanliang, then... ...The slave family wishes my husband to die! I hope that the death of the slave family can give Xiao Jian an explanation and allow the senior to calm down for a while!"

"Zhiji..." Xiao Jun stretched out his hand to pull the old woman away and whispered, "This matter has nothing to do with you. It is all a grudge between Gu and Xiao Jian. Don't get involved!"

"How can I not intervene?" The old woman named Zhiji obviously knew that today's incident would not end well.

He said with some excitement, "As early as forty years ago, you said that this was a matter between you and Xiao Jian, and you would not let me get involved! What happened? You were deceived by Xiao Jian and abandoned me for the so-called family love... , I tearfully obeyed my father's order and married Xiao Jian, making him the king of Danliang Kingdom. After that, Xiao Jian stopped doing government affairs, neglected state affairs for cockfighting, and even lost several border cities to other countries. I came to discuss it with you, but you said that this was a matter for men and you would not let me get involved. Then... I kicked Xiao Jian off the throne and wanted to imprison him in state prison. You said that this was a matter of state, no. Let me intervene, not only let Xiao Jian go out, but also send experts to protect him. Look, what did your kindness get in return? It was Xiao Jian's revenge!"

"I can't ask how other people are doing. I just want to have a clear conscience!" Xiao Jun stretched out his hand to hold Zhiji's hand and said warmly, "Besides, Xiao Jian is Gu's brother in front of him, and your husband behind him. Gu can't let you and I carry it. He's going to get a bad reputation today, so don't do what he thinks, it's all done by himself and has nothing to do with you!"

After that, Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Hua and said: "Senior Xiao, you and I have the same surname. The younger generation does not dare to join the same sect, so please forgive me and just take the younger one's life. Zhiji is Xiao Jian's original Wife, he must have never asked his senior to take Zhiji’s life, right?”

"Well, Xiao Jian never mentioned this!" Xiao Hua nodded lightly.

"I would like to be a winged bird in heaven, and a twig on earth. Even if I die, my family will still be a mandarin duck with the same name as my husband!" Zhiji said lovingly, "My family will only recognize Xiao Jun as my husband, Xiao Jun." The sword is just the insidious Xiaoxiao."

Facing the two people who looked down upon death, Xiao Hua felt a little embarrassed! He knew about Xiao Jian's selfishness, and he had also seen his addiction to gambling, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jian, Xiao Jun and Zhi Ji had such a deep connection, and Xiao Jian's position as the head of the country was certainly It was taken away by Xiao Jun, but the position of king was originally passed down from Zhiji's father. Taking it away by Zhiji can be regarded as returning it to the original owner, especially if, as Zhiji said, Xiao Jian is not a qualified king. , and Xiao Jun is the wise king in Xue Ping's mouth. How can Xiao Hua give the position of king to Xiao Jian?

"Master Xiao..." At this time, others did not dare to speak. Fairy Jing behind her said, "I can't distinguish the words of others, but I can hear the words of this woman. They are all from the bottom of my heart. Master Did you listen to other people’s instigation? I hope that the real person can... be a little more tolerant and investigate more carefully. "

"Well..." Xiao Hua nodded and said, "It seems that this matter is far from simple as Xiao thought, and Xiao may even be wrong!"

"You guys, please go down!" Fairy Jing said calmly, "If the real person wants to take action, it's useless for you guys to stay here."

"Just wait!" Xiao Jun waved his hand, "Senior Xiao is here to do a family matter and has nothing to do with you."

However, the soldiers and monks were still a little reluctant.

"Get down quickly!" Zhiji said coldly, "I'm going to tell you something bad about my family. Do you want to listen to me?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhiji's words worked, and everyone hurriedly bowed and quietly retreated from both sides.

Looking at the clean tent, Xiao Jun took Zhiji's hand and walked down from the top, bowed and said: "Senior, please take a seat."

"Well!" Xiao Hua was not polite, walked to the jade case and sat down, and said to Chang Yu and Wu Tian, ​​"You wait for the two of them to go out, and I will talk to Xiao Jun."

"Yes, Master!" Chang Yu and Wu Tian hurriedly exited the tent. Fairy Jing glanced at it and said with a smile, "Since it is your Xiao family's business, it is not convenient for me to listen to it, so stay away for a while!"

"Forget it, fairy, please wait outside for a moment!" Xiao Hua thought for a moment and nodded.

After Fairy Jing left, Xiao Hua looked at Xiao Jun, who looked calmer, and said, "Tell me all the matters between you and Xiao Jian, no matter how big or small."

"Yes, senior!" When the Xiao family saw Xiao Hua speaking in the tone of a senior of the Xiao family, they did not dare to neglect and told the whole story.

The matter is far more complicated than Xiao Hua imagined. Xiao Jun and Xiao Jian are cousins ​​and are branches of the Xiao family of the Danliang Kingdom. The Xiao family has some influence in the Shanliang Kingdom and is the big family that the monarch of the Shanliang Kingdom needs to win over. Xiao Jun and Xiao Jian have had a good relationship since childhood. Xiao Jian has a bad character and is disliked by others, while Xiao Jun is generous and doesn't care about Xiao Jian's shortcomings. He is one of the few trusted relatives in Xiao Jian's family. When the two of them got older, they entered the academy of Shanliang Kingdom to study. Although Xiao Jian was not good in character, he was extremely intelligent, outstanding in academics, and also distinguished himself in Taoist cultivation. Xiao Jun, on the other hand, is inferior to Xiao Jian in all aspects. Zhiji, as the princess of Shanliang Kingdom, was also studying in the academy. Naturally, she was like a star holding the moon, and Xiao Jian spent even more effort to get close to Zhiji.

It's a pity that Zhi Jihui is unique and doesn't pay much attention to Xiao Jian. Instead, she is particularly close to Xiao Jun. So Xiao Jian pretended to be drunk and confided in front of Xiao Jun that he would not marry anyone other than Zhi Ji in this life. Xiao Jun was fooled and reluctantly dropped out of the academy and was even punished by the Xiao family according to family law.

Later, the monarch of Shanliang State recruited a son-in-law from the Royal Academy. Xiao Jian stood out and won the favor. From then on, he entered the East bed and rose to prominence.

Of course, when the monarch was still alive, Xiao Jian pretended to be very good and handled state and family affairs neatly without any mistakes. Although Zhiji's heart is not with Xiao Jian, she no longer thinks about it for the sake of Shan Liang. However, after the monarch passed away, Xiao Jian took control of the state affairs and immediately revealed his true nature. Not only did he start to neglect the government affairs, but he also learned cockfighting from an unknown Taoist disciple. For a time, cockfighting became a common practice in the Shanliang Kingdom, and no one paid attention to government affairs. Therefore, Zhiji also paid a visit to the national master of Shan Liang Kingdom and begged the national master to come forward. However, the national master had reached the juncture of golden elixir cultivation, so how could he care about the life and death of Shan Liang Kingdom? Never paid attention to it.

Finally, when Xiao Jian lost the three border cities to neighboring countries and wanted to gamble with the whole country again, Zhiji couldn't bear it anymore and contacted Xiao Jun to find the Buddhist masters who were also looking for help in the Hidden Immortal Continent, and took Xiao Jian away from him in one fell swoop. After being driven down from the throne, the national master with the strength of Jin Dan was also expelled from the Danliang Kingdom by the Buddhist masters. From then on, Xiao Jun founded the country under the Buddhist sect and took the position of the king of the Shanliang Kingdom.

"Oh, if what you said is true!" After listening to Xiao Jun's analysis, Xiao Hua said lightly, "I am wrong. Oh, by the way, Zhiji, what's wrong with your face?"

Zhiji was not surprised, so she took off the veil on her face, and saw that the left side of Zhiji's face was covered with a layer of purple pimples of various sizes, which was really scary. Zhiji said calmly: "Senior Haojiao knows, but this junior also doesn't know what's going on. Ever since Xiao Jun left the Royal Academy, there have been pimples on this junior's face. My father has been searching for the miracle doctor to no avail. Previously, There were still one or two pimples, but later on, half of his face was covered with them. If it hadn't been for these things on the junior's face, would Xiao Jian have been so easily chosen by his father? "(To be continued...)
