Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 421: Here with me

Xia Houdi strode in with a heroic appearance. Xue Mu turned his head and looked at her. He always felt that she had more aura than Ji Wuxing, more like "dragon walking and tiger walking". This feeling passed by in a flash. Xia Houdi had already arrived at the banquet. He looked at Zhuo Qingqing and Wei Ye on Xue Mu's left and right, and then sat casually opposite Ji Wuxing.

Then he poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "I was supposed to treat you to a meal? I've been busy lately, and Prince Tang happened to be the one to do it for me, so I'll be shy and borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

Xue Mu raised his glass and said with a smile: "There is no reason for you to invite me to dinner. I am your subordinate, so it is my duty to fawn over you."

"Tch, I can't tell." Xia Houdi raised his head and drank, put the glass on the table, and turned to look at Ji Wuxing: "Your Majesty is ill. You spend all day either listening to books or going to the casino, and now you invite people to drink, sing and dance. Wei Mi, Su Xiang and the others frowned when they heard this."

Ji Wuxing laughed: "They have always said that I am a gangster, why should I stick to their cold asses. Those who like me will naturally like me, and those who don't like me will care about them? It's you, Mr. Xue just came yesterday and you Go to see you and come back to see you a day later. Are you not afraid of what others will say about you?"

Xia Houdi glared and said, "What the hell?"

Ji Wuxing laughed and drank without saying anything.

Xia Houdi snorted coldly: "It's a mess inside and out. You have the ability, but instead of helping, you openly form cliques. I feel uncomfortable, so why don't I come and scold you?"

Ji Wuxing said calmly: "You want me to help you with something?"

"think."

"Okay. Tell me, which aspect?"

"You have people on the inside, right? Maybe there are shadow guards?"

"Originally there was, but I'm afraid it will disappear soon." Ji Wuxing smiled: "If I were Li Xiaolin, I would also take the opportunity to cleanse the dissidents. I don't know how many days my people can stay. I'm lucky if I don't die."

"My six gates and the palace are not under each other, and I don't know about the affairs of the two guards. Please ask your people to sort out who has left the palace this year and where they are now; if they are dead, where are they buried?"

Ji Wuxing was stunned: "Poisoning? The imperial concubine and Li Xiaolin will investigate this matter. You and I broke the rules by interfering randomly. Could it be that you suspect that there is something wrong with them?"

"It's not that they are suspicious." Xia Houdi sighed a little tiredly: "The problem is that the current situation is beneficial to them. Even if this is found out, it may only become a good card in their hands to seek benefits in the future. Only we really want to find out the facts and seek justice for His Majesty."

Ji Wuxing sighed: "Okay, I will understand clearly. This matter is not your Six Doors' business, and I will also send people to investigate together. But where is Lao Ba?"

"Of course he will also check." Xia Houdi smiled: "Wouldn't it be great if we all work together?"

"You are so...naive." Ji Wuxing shook his head: "Except for the dead fat man lying on the bed, all eight of our brothers are suspected. Do you want us to investigate?"

"I didn't ask everyone to check, just you and King Qi."

"Ha...you believe me so much?"

"I believe it." Xia Houdi said: "Because if something happens to His Majesty, you are not the one who benefits the most. And your temper..."

"Haha..." Ji Wuxing wanted to say something, but held it back for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay. I will just follow your orders on this matter."

Xia Houdi shook his head and said, "I can't host it. I'm afraid I'm going to Yizhou soon."

"Coping with Natural Gate?"

"Well, the Natural Sect is plotting to assassinate the Governor of Yizhou, and is recruiting disciples to build mountains. The Six Sects must deal with this matter."

"Xuanzhe should go. At this time, you should be in charge."

"This is His Majesty's order."

"Crazy..." Ji Wuxing couldn't help but cursed, and suddenly smiled: "Well, that's fine, it's best if you go out."

Xia Houdi glared at him angrily.

Ji Wuxing added: "Actually, this is... I can understand the Natural Gate grabbing territory, but the assassination of the governor is simply inexplicable. Are you sure it was them?"

"The Governor's personal guard reported that His Majesty's real anger was caused by this. Xia Wenxuan was just an introduction." Xia Houdi said: "If there is something fishy about this matter, I need to investigate."

"That's true... then I wish you a smooth trip. I'll be keeping the demons and ghosts in the capital under control."

Xia Houdi laughed: "Who can you suppress?"

Ji Wuxing smiled slightly: "General Manager Xue will help with this, right?"

Xue Mu, who had watched the show for a long time, said leisurely: "Yes."

Xia Houdi said angrily: "He himself is the biggest monster. Don't think that I don't know what the two of you want to do when you come into contact."

Ji Wuxing said calmly: "That position is not reserved by Lao Ba, so don't be too partial."

Xia Houdi pursed his lips, sighed and said, "You two... are not suitable at all."

Ji Wuxing glared and said, "It's not like we're getting married. Do you care whether we are suitable or not?"

"Pfft..." Xue Mu couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Xiahoudi said, "Have you finished eating?"

Xue Mu smiled and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Come for a walk with me." Xia Houdi ignored Ji Wuxing's weird look and said calmly: "Just the two of us."

Xue Mu was stunned for a long time, then turned around and told Zhuo Qingqing: "You and Weiye go back first."

Zhuo Qingqing hesitated and said: "Young Master..."

"It's okay. You're with Mr. Xiahou. What monsters are you afraid of?"

Zhuo Qingqing subconsciously looked behind Xue Mu, knowing that Ye Guying was still lurking, so she nodded hesitantly.

…

When we left the restaurant, the night was already as cold as water. In the cold winter, the capital city is also very quiet at night, with snowflakes falling quietly, and the streets and alleys filled with sparkling reflections, quiet and cold. Occasionally, there is the sound of banging, someone is returning home in the snow, and a few barks of dogs are combined. It makes people feel like they are somewhere in the countryside, hearing the barking of dogs at Chaimen, and returning home on a snowy night.

Xue Mu and Xia Houdi walked side by side and didn't speak for a long time. The atmosphere was not ambiguous, but a very complicated entanglement between friends and foes, making it difficult to argue.

After a long time, Xia Houdi sighed: "What did you mean by writing that book?"

"You actually have time to listen to my new book?"

"Let me understand." Xia Houdi said: "What on earth do you want to do while taking advantage of the chaos?"

"I didn't know about Ji Qingyuan's accident when I wrote the book." Xue Mu replied: "Originally, it was just for my sake. I also told the King of Tang just now that whether the book has a bad influence depends on the court itself. "

"In the past, I might have stormed to your door and made trouble for you. But now I'm very tired, and I'm not in the mood to make trouble with you." Xia Houdi sighed: "Xue Mu, can you please stop causing trouble for me."

These words obviously meant something, not the book, but his actions in contact with Ji Wuxing.

Xue Mu looked up at Piaoxue and said calmly: "I'm right here. Anyone can find me. Why is it not King Qi who comes but King Tang?"

Xiahoudi was silent.

"It's just because King Qi doesn't need me. He probably has a good reputation in the government and the public, and he has your support. As long as we manage the relationship between Li Yingqing and Li Yingqing properly, there will be no need to find good and evil ways to get the position." Xue Mu said slowly: "Your support for him must be related to this. You also don't want the new crown prince to bear too strong a mark of good and evil."

"Yes. And King Qi's ability is indeed good, and he is not as gangster as King Tang... I support him not just for selfish reasons." Xia Houdi's voice softened: "Xue Mu, I asked him to give you some benefits. Promise, please don’t get too involved, okay?”

Xue Mu sighed: "Ji Qingyuan is not dead, what do you want to do? Take advantage of the general trend and directly support him?"

Xia Houdi whispered: "I know this is not good and goes against the principles of a monarch and his ministers. But now that the government and the opposition are in chaos, this is really not okay. I only hope to complete this transition as quickly as possible and stabilize the government and the opposition."

"Where is the chaos? It's nothing but people's hearts. Everyone is staying calm and waiting for Ji Qingyuan to pass the throne, and nothing will happen."

"That's not what you said, Xue Mu." Xia Houdi hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to explain it, and then said after a while: "At least now the crazy sect of nature is ready to move, and we need a real backbone."

"This matter...I can help you."

Xia Houdi was stunned: "How can you help me?"

"After all, the mad monk of the Natural Sect is the right way, and everything must be justified, otherwise it will lose the hearts of the world, and Xuantian Sect Wujiu Temple will not sit back and let them do whatever they want. So as long as they have no excuses, you can take the initiative I have it all, I don’t even have to go to Yizhou in person this time.”

"How can we leave them with no excuse? Virtual Reality Cauldron..."

Xue Mu replied nonchalantly: "At my place."

Xia Houdi stopped suddenly.
