Raid

Chapter 265
"Marquis Ding Ning... One matter is another matter. Rong Zhi's identity is there." Sun Jie looked up.

"When it comes to identity, I think of one thing. In the past, His Highness insisted on using me. Didn't you also object at that time, saying that I was the legacy of the Mu family? In this way, Benhou's background is no better than Rong Zhi. .” Mu Jing raised his eyes, his expression was a bit evil and surly.

"How can this be the same?" An Huai disagreed.Over the years, there is no military general who does not take Mu Jing and Xu Huanzhi as benchmarks.Although Mu Jing is annoying, but his ability is real.They may not like Mu Jing, but no one dislikes him.

What's more, in terms of family background, although Mu Jing is an illegitimate child, he is also a child of a serious family. Although the Mu family is a traitor, he was also a first-class family member back then.As for Rong Zhi, he was born in a reckless family, his parents are just ordinary people, he is a shoe weaver and seller, he is not as good as Mu Jing.

"What's different?" Mu Jing raised his eyebrows.

"The Mu family is a traitor, but Marquis Dingning is loyal, filial and righteous. Rong Zhi is a traitor, how can this be the same?" Sun Jie retorted.

"You have never had contact with him, so how can you make such an assertion? Just like when you had no contact with Ben Hou, didn't you think that Mu and I were of the same breed? After a few months, didn’t your tone change drastically? Not to mention this Marquis, how many ministers in the court were recommended by your aunt? And before the recommendation of your aunt, weren’t their backgrounds also criticized by others?”

Wei Yun back then was no more than a slave in the princess' mansion.Gu Liujin and Gu Nianxi are nothing more than Li Shengxi's maidservants.As for the officials in the DPRK who were recommended by Li Sheng, their backgrounds include traffickers, merchants, and criminal ministers, and now they do not all benefit one side and contribute to the country.

Sun Jie was speechless.

Li Shengxi raised his head slightly, "How is Rong Zhi a person? I know better than you. The most urgent thing is to judge whether there is a ghost, and find out who the ghost is, instead of judging character by wind. After a long time to see people's hearts, how is he?" , Let’s talk about it later. Let’s take a look at what’s going on right now.”

"Yes."

After everyone dispersed, Li Shengxi left Rong Zhi alone under Mu Jing's jealous eyes.

"His Highness keeps the humble officials like this, I'm afraid Marquis Ding Ning will be able to eat the humble officials alive." Rong Zhi joked.

Li Shengxi originally wanted to talk about something serious, but when she heard Rong Zhi's words, she just thought it was a little funny, what he said seemed to be a good-looking guy who was taking advantage of it.She doesn't look like a capable minister, but like a concubine in the backyard.

"With your mouth, let Jinyu swallow you alive." Li Shengxi joked.

"Your Highness is at the side of the generals to protect the humble minister, if the Marquis of Ding Ning engulfs the humble minister alive, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?" Rong Zhi didn't care.

Li Shengxi was at a loss for words, "Why are you getting more and more..."

She didn't think of a suitable word for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she finally said, "Don't take me seriously."

People around her like Xu Huanzhi and Mu Jing, although their words are close, they never offend.Rong Zhi seems to be respectful, but he often chokes her.Inexplicably, Li Shengxi remembered the phrase "Thirteen Niangs" in the secret room of the Hong Mansion back then.

"Your Highness has been wronged. This minister sees His Highness in his heart, so why not take it seriously?" Rong Zhi retorted.

It's just that as soon as these words were uttered, Rong Zhi suddenly realized something was wrong.

Li Shengxi was also slightly stunned, seeing Rong Zhi's dumbfounded look, she came to her senses, the shyness that was not much in her heart was swept away, she looked at Rong Zhi with deep meaning.

Rong Zhi coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment just now, "This matter..."

"Why don't you continue talking?" Li Shengxi tilted her head, resting her head with one hand. She was dressed in a military uniform, and her eyebrows were full of heroism, but at this moment, she was charming and coquettish in a different way, which made people heartbroken.

"My minister made a slip of the tongue, and I have no other intentions." Rong Zhi hurriedly confessed.

"Since you have no other intentions, why do you change the topic at the end of the day? Rong Changshi, you are a scholar, don't you know that a gentleman is magnanimous?" Li Shengxi smiled lightly.

In the past, when Rong Zhi was not under her command, she usually called him "Rong Lang" politely. After she joined her command, she either called him "Rong Zhi" by name or surname, or called him "Policy Minister". Call him "Rong Changshi".

Rong Zhi was at a loss for words for a while, feeling a bit speechless. When he said the words "in the eyes and in the heart", he said it completely subconsciously. At that time, he didn't think of those lingering meanings. Later, when he realized it, he was covering it up , it seems that there is something that should not be thought.

Speaking of which, Li Sheng is not ashamed to be a girl, she is open and frank, and she is full of glory.He is a man, but he behaved like a son and daughter, he should be ashamed.

In fact, he has something to say to Li Shengxi, but Li Shengxi is the master after all, some things can be joked, but there are some blatantly offensive things that must not be said.

Speaking up to this point, it's not wrong to answer the words, it's also wrong not to answer the words, Rong Zhi simply chose to escape, pretending that what happened just now didn't happen, "Thank you, Your Highness, for protecting the matter just now."

Li Shengxi: "..."

Very good, I won't say if I won't win.

Staring at Li Sheng's chilly gaze, Rong Zhi continued to bite the bullet and said: "It's just that this matter is strange. General An's sudden mention of Weichen makes people forget other things for a while, and instead blindly wants to deal with Weichen. Minister. I'm afraid that if His Highness really punishes this minister, others will subconsciously assign the name of the inner ghost to him, and won't think of it. There is no evidence at all."

Li Shengxi withdrew his meaningful gaze, "Yeah... I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Apart from your bad reputation, An Huai attacked you, probably because you offended him before. Sun Jie The reason for criticizing the humble official is because he hates traitors and cruel officials. It's just that I didn't expect Ke Yongzhao to speak for you."

"Actually speaking, there is nothing unusual about General Ke. It's just that he is often unhappy." Rong Zhi frowned.

"Not to mention anything else, no matter whether he is an insider or not, such dereliction of duty is really disappointing." If he ignored the overall situation just because of his dead wife, the hero would be a little short of breath. In an important position, to act like this..."

Li Sheng shook his head.

If Ke Yongzhao is the ghost, there is nothing to say, he should be killed, and it will be settled once and for all.But if Ke Yongzhao is not an inner ghost, it will not work in the long run. Ke Yongzhao is capable, and he can be used in the future, whether it is the Northern Expedition or the suppression of the soil. He cannot be allowed to be so decadent.
