Wishful Things

  Chapter 213 The old man

   "Why?"

Sui Shan smiled bitterly, "Suijiang, don't you really understand it? Or, you just want to stay in Dingnan Palace for the rest of your life, and live such a life of inferiority and obedient to others? But I don't want to, I do. To be free, so for me, it was a good time to get out..."

   Sui Jiang Wenyan's hand holding the sword tightened.

  After a while, he said with a certain tone: "No, you are lying!"

He turned the blade slightly, pointed to the long knife on the ground, and said: "This is your knife, I picked it back for you last night! I also have the same long knife, and this knife is a gift from the son! ... You If you really are like what you said, and hate the days of staying in the Dingnan Prince's Mansion and doing things for the son, why do you keep this knife that might reveal your identity next to you!"

  The son has always treated them not thinly!

   Back when the Wu family brought them orphans back, they were destined to belong to the Wu family from then on.

  Of course, even so, there is no guarantee that everyone’s thinking is the same—

  Ke Sui Shan, if he really had an affair, would never even notice when getting along day and night.

  Therefore, there is still a glimmer of hope for him, and he would rather believe that the good old brother was coerced by others!

Sui Shan turned his head slightly and glanced at the long knife.

   "You think too much, I just think it's easy to use, just stay by your side to defend yourself."

Suijiang sneered: "You don't have to think about fooling me. I don't believe a word of your words."

  He is not as smart as Suishan, but this does not mean that he even has no ability to distinguish between truth and lies.

   "If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say."

  Suishan closed his eyes and said, "If you want to kill, you have to pluck it, just listen to it."

Suijiang pressed his lips tightly, but his hand holding the sword trembled almost imperceptibly.

  After a while, he retracted the sword.

   "Don't think I can't bear to kill you. It's just that the son is dead, so I must ask the truth. You ask for hardship, and you don't blame me for not thinking about the old feelings."

  Suijiang spoke, and told the two guards behind him: "Take people to the secret room!"

  ...

  In the afternoon, in the Dingnan Palace, when Wu Chao was about to leave the house, he suddenly heard the young man say: "My son, the prince has just called someone to send me a message, saying that he is asking him to come over."

  Grandfather looking for him?

  Wu Chao didn't know what he thought of, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded and said, "I see."

  After finishing his clothes, taking the cloak that Yuan handed him, the boy strode out and headed to the residence of King Dingnan.

   "Grandfather, you are looking for me."

   After closing the door, in the still spacious and bright study, Wu Chao looked at the old man sitting behind the bookcase.

  The old man with white hair on temples, tall and thin body, but still straight back is his grandfather, Dingnan King Wu Jun.

  "Sit and talk." The old man's voice was solemn, but his tone at this time was calm.

  Wu Chao answered "Yes" and sat down in a chair beside him.

  No one was seen in the study, but the hot tea on the small table at his hand was ready, and at this time, there was a slight heat on the Linglong tea bowl.

   "I heard that you never returned to the house all night last night?" Wu Jun asked.

   "Yes." Wu Zhao had already expected this question on the road, and at this time he answered calmly, "Grandson went out of town to do something."

  He has been dealing with family affairs for several years. Since passing the test of his grandfather that year, now he is doing what the Lord wants to do, and his grandfather hardly cares about it.

  Of course, the thing he went to do last night was not a family affair.

  But at the moment he is not planning to talk to his grandfather in detail-it will not be too late to mention it once the conclusion is made.

  Wu Jun didn’t ask too much. He just nodded when he heard the words, and said, “The reason why you are allowed to come here today is that there are a few things to be left to you.”

  While speaking, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the scroll on the side, and pushed it forward.

  Wu Chao stepped forward to take it and opened it up.

  There are three things on it. Although they are not major events, they are also extremely important. They can be called urgent and need to be taken care of as soon as possible—

  Is it really only accidental that grandfather chose to give him these things at this time?

  There was a slight wave in the heart of the young man, but his face was calm: "Grandfather rest assured, grandson will do it soon."

   After saying, put the paper in your sleeve, but did not leave it, but stepped back a few steps, slightly lowered his head and said: "The grandson suddenly thought that there was something I wanted to ask my grandfather recently."

   "What's the matter?"

   "The previous grandson was assassinated on his way to Beijing, I wonder if there is any progress now?"

"The other party has done very cautiously and cleanly on this matter, and now there is no progress worth mentioning." Wu Jun looked at his grandson, calmly said: "The family will continue to investigate this matter, and if there is news, I will not hide it from you. "

  A Yuan has been stubborn since he was a child. Once he is obsessed with something, he will never give up if he fails to do it—this is a good thing, but it is not all a good thing.

  Wu Zhao did not ask other questions after hearing this.

  But the guess in my heart has been faintly confirmed again.

  My grandfather still didn't want him to interfere in this matter-when this happened, my father didn't want him to investigate more, so he made many excuses to obstruct it.

  But he can't do nothing, knowing that something is wrong.

  Grandfather must also know his temperament, so he will suddenly confess these things to him after he hasn’t returned all night—this is a hindrance and a reminder.

  Grandfather's explanation, he naturally has to do it, and this is his responsibility as a grandson of the Wu family.

  However, what he wants to investigate must also be investigated.

   "If nothing else, let's go back." Wu Jun raised his tea bowl and said.

   "Yes, grandson retires."

  The boy retreated to the door, but suddenly stopped.

   "What? Anything else to say?" Wu Jun raised his eyes to his grandson.

  The young man took two steps back: "In fact, there is one thing grandson wants to ask grandfather..."

  He is not someone who has an idea in his mind and has to delay again and again, especially after last night, he has become more and more aware of his own mind—

  Wu Jun looked at him and motioned for him to ask.

  "In the past few years, the reason why my grandfather is at odds with the town's grandpa is not known? Is it really as incompatible as the surface?" There is a trace of cautious temptation hidden in the serious expression of the young man.

  As soon as he asked this sentence, he saw his grandfather's face suddenly sink.

   "Okay, what did you mention about this old man?"

   "..." Wu Chao was silent for a moment.

   can make his grandfather whose emotions and anger are invisible and change his face instantly, and he can swear the word "old man", which shows that this discord is indeed real.

  Recalling that when Zhen Guogong didn’t know his identity, he called his grandfather "the old guy", and it inevitably makes people think that this relationship is not unmatched...

  Under this situation, Wu Chao couldn't help but suddenly think of a rumor that he heard by accident that was called absurd to his grandfather—
