Tiantang Splendid

2527 Threats and Intimidation
Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "I also have the same intention, please wait a moment for the auxiliary machine."

The two passed by, Changsun Wuji entered a side hall, Gao Zhixing heard that he was going to talk to Xiao Yu, so he didn't inform other officials in the mansion to come to see the ceremony, but left two maids to burn After making tea with water, and prepared some snacks, he said: "I still have to greet other guests, so I can't stay here for a long time, please forgive me. The banquet will be ready later, and I will invite Zhao Guogong to the table later."

Changsun Wuji showed kindness on his face, smiled and said: "You and I are close relatives, why should you be so polite? Go do your own work, don't worry about me."

Gao Zhixing resigned and left.

Not long after, Xiao Yu pushed the door open and entered...

The sun had already set, and the light in the side hall was dim. The maid from the Gao family lit the candles, then knelt down on the side of the tea table, boiled hot water, and brewed tea.

The fragrance of tea is dense.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said softly, "I'm chatting with Song Guogong, you can step back."

The maid of the Gao family said rudely: "Here!"

The two maids got up together and retreated hand in hand.

There were only two people sitting opposite each other in the hall.

Changsun Wuji held the pot himself, filled the tea cups in front of Xiao Yu and himself with tea, then put down the pot, took a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, and took a sip of tea.

Xiao Yu didn't drink any water, but just twirled the teacup in his hands, and looked up at Changsun Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji drank tea and ate cakes, but he didn't say a word for a long time...

Xiao Yu squinted his eyes, but also calmed down, took a sip of tea, and didn't say a word.

There was a strange silence in the side hall...

After a while, Changsun Wuji patted the crumbs of pastries on his hands, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm getting older, I can't stand hunger, and I feel dizzy after a little hunger. I also lost my appetite. Back then, I could swallow half a cake." Roasted lamb, now it’s just a few pieces of pastry, and the stomach is a bit bloated, it’s useless when people are old, and some things can’t be eaten even if they are put in the mouth, so I can only look at them with greed.”

Xiao Yu didn't understand what he said.

But he knew that with Changsun Wuji's personality, since he was pulling himself to talk here, he would definitely not say a word of nonsense, and since he didn't understand, he would keep silent, lest he fall into the opponent's pit.

The title of "Yin Man" is not called for nothing, this seemingly harmless and cheerful old guy in front of him is sinister...

Changsun Wuji didn't seem to care about Xiao Yu's silence, so he drank another cup of tea, stretched his waist, and asked casually: "It's going to be autumn now, and the weather is going to cool down. It is estimated that the cool wind is already blowing, and frost and snow will fall in a short time. Your mansion Dalang is located in the bitter cold of Mobei, so you still have to pay more attention to your body. You can't be too hard on yourself, besides, although Xue Yantuo was destroyed by Fang Jun, he is also a centipede who is dead but not stiff. It would be a pity if the remnants seized the opportunity."

Xiao Yu's palm turning the teacup suddenly paused, looked up at Changsun Wuji, his face was solemn at first, then he smiled, and said calmly: "The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, the more severe the temper, the more you will be able to have it." A bright future. As a father, if we do our best to arrange the future for our children and grandchildren, and take care of them in the palm of our hands, if we can't stand the slightest rain, snow, wind and frost, what can we do? Just like what you said just now , people are old and can't even eat anything, how long can we protect them? Once we can't take care of them, they will be exposed to severe frost suddenly like flowers and plants in a greenhouse, and there is no way to protect themselves Ability, the only way to end in misery. Instead of seeing them being smashed to pieces in a thunderstorm in the midst of smooth sailing, it is better to let them go through some hardships as soon as possible, so that they can stand on their own in the future and be independent. Auxiliary machine, very I rely on the old to sell the old, you are an outstanding person in the world, but you can't ask your children and grandchildren to be as outstanding as you are, let them go properly, let them suffer some hardships, let them experience the hardships they will endure early, and temper their temper to be strong Some, why did such a sad thing happen?"

He looked frank, but the words he said were like knives piercing into Changsun Wuji's heart.

No matter whether you are threatening me or implying that it was your support that the Xiao family got the position of Chief Protector of the Hanhai Protectorate, you must know that no matter how bad my family Dalang is, even if his body is smashed to pieces, he will still be able to make it to the next one. Serving the country faithfully and swearing allegiance to the death, what about you?Yi's proud eldest son, Sun Chong, actually committed such a serious crime as conspiracy to usurp, and the whole family was ashamed...

The smile on Changsun Wuji's face did not fade, but it seemed to be frozen, and his cheeks could not help but twitch a few times.

The most painful scar in his heart was ruthlessly lifted off in person, and that kind of excruciating annoyance almost made him lose his composure, and he really wanted to slam the teacup in his hand on Xiao Yu's face...

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji nodded slowly, and said with a sigh: "What Song Guogong said is true, but it's a pity that I didn't understand this truth before, which led to a lifelong mess!"

Picking up the teapot to pour tea for Xiao Yu, he continued, "However, there is a saying that although the falcon is king, its wings are still fledgling. If we let it go through the wind and rain too early, it will inevitably encourage the growth of the seedlings and act too hastily. My family's previous success, Yin Jian Not far away, Duke Song should think more about it."

Xiao Yu's complexion was slightly morning, and his eyes were shining brightly.

He can confirm that Changsun Wuji is threatening in front of him... But this kind of threat can indeed make Xiao Yu have to think carefully in anger.

The place where the nobles of Guanlong started was in the north of the Yin Mountains. Today, the Hu tribes of all tribes in Mobei are inextricably linked with the nobles of Guanlong. It is not difficult for the clan to let him drive.

Coupled with the fact that the nobles of Guanlong are all the children of the Northern Army... It may not be possible to really make Xiao Rui hate Mobei.

The Xiao family is very similar to the eldest grandson's family. They both seem to be flourishing and flourishing, but there are very few outstanding figures in the next generation. Now it is difficult to pass on this illustrious power. The leader of a generation of Guanlong nobles finally conspired to usurp and rebel. Although he lived on, his future was ruined, and the Xiao family finally cultivated a Xiao Rui.

Without a qualified heir, no matter how prosperous the Xiao family is now, it is doomed to a gloomy future.

As for whether Changsun Wuji dared to kill Xiao Rui... There is no need to doubt it at all, who has been an official in the same dynasty for several years, who would not know whose temper?
This old fox bears the nickname of "Yin Man" because he has never kept his hands back when stabbing a knife in the back. It is extremely ruthless, and there is nothing he dare not do.

For example, a few days ago Fang Jun was assassinated and almost died. Although the three legal departments jointly inspected and still have no clue until today, Xiao Yu knew that even if the matter was not planned by Changsun Wuji himself, he would definitely not be able to escape.

He dared to assassinate Fang Jun in Chang'an City, how could he be afraid of Xiao Rui and dare not do it?
……

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, put the teacup on the tea table, sat upright, stared at Changsun Wuji with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I have been an official in the same court as the auxiliary machine for several years, although it can't be called a sympathetic relationship, but There is also the friendship of robes. I don't know what the meaning of the auxiliary machine's words is, and I don't want to speculate, there are only you and me here, but it doesn't hurt to speak bluntly."

He is cowardly...

Changsun Wuji chuckled, and said calmly: "What is the meaning of Song Guogong's words? I have absolutely no other intentions, just talking about how to raise children... But I do have something in my heart, and I can't say it."

He looked at Xiao Yu who was holding back his anger with a dignified face, and said slowly: "Our so-called aristocratic family members seem to be flourishing, but in fact they are mostly useless offshoots. It seems that you and I are in high positions and wield great power , the whole life of hard planning is just to cultivate an outstanding heir. As long as there is such a promising one, the whole family can continue to prosper. On the contrary, even if there are countless offspring, what is the use? As long as Song Guogong nods, all Guan Long All the power can be mobilized, and I will fully assist Xiao Dalang in guarding Mobei and making contributions."

Xiao Yu nodded slowly, he understood.

The Guanlong nobles have obviously realized that they are in a bad situation and even have an uncertain future, so they want to contact the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and form allies to jointly resist the coming storm.

He didn't even hesitate to use such low-level means of threatening and intimidating...
