Chapter 312
But before Xiao He could feel uncomfortable, the Tiger Guards had already surged up.
Lao Wu stepped forward and hooked Xiao He's neck, "You kid, do you recognize the prince? You don't even say hello to any of the brothers when you see him?"
Lao Qi also punched Xiao He on the shoulder, "I heard earlier that you were disabled. I think you are doing well now! How about two moves?"
Lao Ba greeted Xiao He and went to Pingyang Prince's Mansion, "Let's go, let's go to the wine table! Let me see if you drink a lot!"
Lao Liu laughed at him, "Xiao He drank you down before, you are so courageous!"
Lao Ba was dissatisfied, "Hasn't he been disabled for five years? He must not be able to drink anymore!"
"Whoever drinks and lies down in a while will bark like a dog!"
"Woof woof! So what if I barked first! After all, today I will never stop getting drunk!"
"Yes, never stop until you're drunk!"
The group of people were chatting and laughing, hugging Xiao He and walking inside, but they didn't give Xiao He any words to speak.
However, Xiao He enjoyed it very much.
The feeling of being surrounded by his brothers made him feel as if he had jumped eight years in time and returned to the time when he was on the battlefield.
Like Chu Zhiyi, he didn't like to talk much. When Lao Ba provoked him to drink, he just responded silently.
Lao Ba thought he was honest and easy to bully, but in the end he almost drank himself to death.
But Lao Ba has always been dissatisfied, always looking for opportunities to win back his face.
Who would have thought that this opportunity would come eight years later.
The wine table was lively.
Qiao Nian sat quietly aside, looking at Xiao He with his feet on the stool, fisting and drinking with everyone, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable touch in his heart.
This is the Xiao He she has never seen before.
It was as if his restraints had been stripped away, revealing his true nature.
He is cool and elegant.
But in front of the brothers, he was bold and informal.
After several rounds, Xiao He finally staggered and sat back down.
Seeing Xiao He's face flushed, but Lao Ba still kept trying to pour him wine, Qiao Nian finally couldn't help but get up and push the wine bowl in front of Xiao He.
"Brother Xiao has been ill for five years, and his body has not fully recovered yet! Please ask Brother Eight to show your kindness."
Hearing this, Lao Ba was stunned for a moment, and his drunken face showed a look of contemplation. Then he glanced at Xiao He, and then he said to Qiao Nian, "Didn't you two get divorced? Are you still protecting him? What?"
Qiao Nian was stunned, never expecting that Lao Ba would be involved in this matter.
Even Xiao He's drunkenness dissipated a little and he raised his eyes to look at Qiao Nian.
Warmth flows slowly from my heart.
He felt that it was great that Nian Nian was still protecting him.
But I only heard Chu Zhiyi say in a deep voice, "Have you drunk too much, old man?"
Only then did Lao Ba seem to realize something, and hurriedly patted his mouth, "You drank too much! Niannian is right, Xiao He, you haven't drank in five years, and your drinking capacity is not as good as before. I will spare you for today. you……"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao He picked up the wine bowl that had been pushed away and drank it all in one gulp.
People named Xiao never give up easily.
Seeing this, Lao Ba was stunned, and then he picked up the wine bowl.
Unexpectedly, before half of the drink was finished, he fell to the ground and fell straight backwards.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"After eight years, I still can't drink Xiao He, hahaha!"
"The two barks just now were not in vain!"
Several people were busy helping him up and taking him down to rest.
Xiao He's body also started to sway.
Qiao Nian was always a little worried, her brows furrowed.
Seeing this, Chu Zhiyi stood up and looked at Lao Wu and Lao Qi beside Xiao He, "It's getting late, you can send Xiao He back!"
Lao Wu and Lao Qi immediately agreed and helped Xiao He out.
Unexpectedly, Xiao He stopped after taking a few steps and turned back to look at Qiao Nian.
In fact, Qiao Nian's position today was not sitting with Chu Zhiyi.
But at this moment, looking from Xiao He's perspective, Qiao Nian seemed to be standing next to Chu Zhiyi.
There was some inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, but he deliberately ignored it.
Because he knew that at this time, it would be most peaceful for Nian Nian to stay in Pingyang Palace.
At this moment, a group of guards rushed in from outside Prince Pingyang's palace.
It's the Imperial Guard.
The imperial army represents the emperor. They enter the palace to arrest people, and even the guards of Prince Ping's palace cannot stop them.
Therefore, the group of people was quickly surrounded.
Xiao He sobered up most of his drunkenness in an instant.
He looked at the deputy commander not far away and couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
The deputy commander was about to salute when he saw Xiao He, but before he could speak, Xiao Heng's voice came first, "I, the general, have been ordered to capture important criminals in the imperial court. I don't care about anyone else, please stay out of the way."
The cold voice was tinged with anger.
When Xiao Heng came in, he saw Qiao Nian at first sight, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.
Chu Zhiyi frowned slightly, "Is there anything the imperial court wants to offend here?"
Then Xiao Heng took out a wanted notice for the Yongbei bandits and said coldly, "This tattoo must be familiar to the prince, right?"
Chu Zhiyi's heart sank, "The tiger guard's tattoos are different from those of the mountain bandits. I have already explained this to my brother."
"Whether it's different or not, it's not the prince's turn to decide." Xiao Heng raised his hand with a cold look on his face, "Arrest him!"
The Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward and captured the guards one after another.
This is the Prince of Pingyang's mansion. If the Tiger Guards struggle and resist, they will surely implicate the Prince of Pingyang, so one or two of them, even if they feel aggrieved, can only let the Imperial Guards take them away.
On the side, Xiao He was a little anxious, "Heng'er, don't be so presumptuous. The Tiger Guards are all heroes who protect the country. How could they be bandits?"
"Even if they are not, they may be in collusion with the bandits." Xiao Heng said, looking at Xiao He who was drunk, and couldn't help frowning more tightly, "How long have you recovered? You dare to drink like this?"
Xiao He wanted to say something, but his figure was shaking when he took two steps forward, so Xiao Heng could only send someone to help him take him away.
Not long after, all the Tiger Guards were taken away.
Even the unconscious Lao Ba was no exception.
Qiao Nian knew that Xiao Heng was coming for her, so she said, "Xiao Heng, you are taking revenge for your personal gain!"
But Xiao Heng's eyes were cold, and he asked back, "I am taking revenge for your personal gain? Don't forget who killed Jing Yan!"
"Jing Yan died at the hands of Yongbei mountain bandits!" Qiao Nian said sternly, "But you know that the Tiger Guards can't be mountain bandits!"
"I said, whether it is true or not, we can only know after checking!"
Qiao Nian stepped forward and asked, "Then can you guarantee that you won't use torture?"
She had heard about how Xiao Heng used torture on the second in command of the Yongbei mountain bandits.
Xiao Heng never thought that Qiao Nian would be so protective of the Tiger Guards.
They were just people under Chu Zhiyi. Did she care so much about Chu Zhiyi?
The anger in his body was clamoring, Xiao Heng stared at Qiao Nian and said coldly, "This general does not need others to interfere with his work!"
