Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 185 Deception (055)
Chi Xi stretched his head towards her, and Mo Jiu thumped his head hard, saying viciously: "They didn't beat you to death, it's really too kind."

Seeing her angrily take the note out, Chi Xi touched his forehead and didn't close his mouth for a long time.

After a while, he reluctantly followed, "These ugly people are too cruel. Jealousy! It's all jealousy!"

At the end of the hour, it was the auspicious time Shen Shimao had calculated for entering the tomb.

It's mid-autumn sky, it's not completely dark at this point, but the sky is dark, with layers of dark clouds pressing on the head, which makes people breathless.The light rain did not stop, and the visibility was extremely low in the hazy world.Probably the purpose of this trip is not like the usual errands. Everyone from top to bottom is cautious and holds their breath.

"Look, someone is coming!" Xue Fang walked ahead, pointing to a few people coming from another direction on the quiet river bank.

There was silence everywhere, and the group of people seemed abrupt.

Xiao Qian cast a glance and said, "Thank you."

The distance here is still far away, and the appearance of people can't be seen clearly.However, around the Tiannv Stone was guarded by the Xiao Qian faction, these people were in a hurry, but they were not afraid, so it can be guessed.This Zhao Jidu, apart from Xie Chen, no one has such courage.

The people on both sides are getting closer and closer, and the gratitude arrives faster.

When Xiao Qian and his party came over, he put on a dark face and cupped his hands unhurriedly.

"I don't know what Xiao Shijun is here for?"

Xiao Qian lifted his lips, sneered and asked without answering: "What is the prime minister doing?"

Xie Chen made a haha, and said with a fake smile: "Today, I got news that some elite scouts sneaked into our territory, and wanted to make a big fuss about the flood, destroying the river embankment that we built to prevent floods. Just bring someone to see it."

Xiao Qian glanced at him indifferently, "The prime minister doesn't have to worry about the river embankment. Let's start with disaster prevention and flood reduction and appease the people according to the prior arrangement. If the prime minister has spare time, he might as well pay attention to Zeng Si's case " After a pause, his gaze turned coldly, "Let the murderer be brought to justice as soon as possible, so that the prime minister can return to Beijing with peace of mind. You can just do your own thing, why should the prime minister take the mouse?"

Xie Chen heard that his tone was not good, and his face was ashen as if he wanted to argue, but he looked at the large number of forbidden soldiers on the river bank, and then calmed down, raised his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Since we are colleagues, we should watch over and help each other. You don't have to be polite, Mr. Xiao .”

Xiao Qian chuckled, raised his eyebrows, "What if I have to be polite?"

Xie Chen said: "Then forgive me for being unreasonable. Mr. Xiao, I might as well say bluntly that the Tiannv Stone is used to suppress the river, and it should not be moved easily. You listen to the nonsense of a quack warlock and use the Tiannv Stone rashly. If another flood is caused , in front of the officials at that time, it will not be easy to deal with business."

Xiao Qian said: "I don't need the prime minister to worry about my affairs."

Xie Chen said: "But the old man doesn't want to be burdened by you."

The two were at odds with each other, neither of them would give in, and they were at a stalemate for a while.On the river bank around the Tiannv Stone, there are Xiao Qian's imperial guards, the number is obviously better than that of Xie Chen, and there are five or six Mohist disciples, if Xiao Qian is really annoyed, Xie Chen will not end well.

However, Xie Chen didn't think Xiao Qian dared to use force.

Seeing him approaching step by step, Xie Chen suppressed the coolness in his heart, took a deep drink, and remained calm, "What does Xiao Shijun want to do? Could it be possible to coerce the prime minister by force?"

"No." Xiao Qian pulled out his saber from his waist, elegantly wrapped a sword flower, laid it on Xie Chen's neck in a leisurely manner, and smiled slightly, "I would like to invite the prime minister to have some hot tea."

Xie Chen's face changed, but he saw that Xiao Qian had already put away his sword, "Come here! Invite Prime Minister Xie back to my house, so that I can entertain you. If there is any negligence, I will demand your heads."
