Chapter 218

With the status of disciples in the back mountain of the academy, their news was soon reported to Xiahou.

Xiahou looked at the candlelight in front of him, his expression kept changing, and finally took a deep breath and said:

"Since Mr. Da from the Academy is here to visit, let's invite them over! By the way, let us know and prepare the meals. Don't neglect Mr. Da and others' late-night visits!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers were ordered to retreat from the big tent.

After a while, Li Slowly brought Mo Shanshan, Zhuo Er and Ning Que to the big tent.

At this time, there was a home-cooked banquet in the big tent. There was no such cruel and extravagant dishes as the monkey head as rumored, and there was no such thing as the rumored General Xiahou who tried to test the guts of the guests. There were only light and elegant side dishes and three-color rice porridge. Everyone around the table ate in silence, and no one spoke.

Ning Que drank a bowl of rice porridge, picked up delicate pickles with his chopsticks, drank another bowl of rice porridge, took his chopsticks and put vegetables into the bowl, and fiddled with the tip of his chopsticks in silence for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the table Xia Hou.

A word in a silent place is thunder.

When they are silent, they can see lightning at a glance.

As a guest, it is very rude to look directly at the host like this. As a junior in the academy, it would be unreasonable for him to act first when the senior is present, and then Ning Que did it because he really wanted to take a closer look. this person.

As for Zall and the others, they were eating porridge in silence. After all, the protagonists at this moment were Mr. Da and Mr. Shisan from the academy, so they naturally wouldn't overwhelm the host.

Of course, there are also reasons why they want to distract attention to Ke Haoran and the two in the carriage outside the big tent.

Xia Hou ate the porridge in the bowl slowly and seriously.Slower than the big brother, he didn't finish eating until a long time later, slowly raised his head, looked back at Ning Que and asked, "Why does Mr. Xiao keep looking at me?"

Ning Que smiled.Said: "Because the general is mighty."

Naturally, no one would believe this, and Zall even chuckled in his heart and said:
"Ning Que really knows how to talk nonsense, but to be able to still talk nonsense in this situation, it seems that his character has improved a lot!"

After eating the porridge, they drank tea. Xiahou held the teacup and looked at Zhuoer and Mo Shanshan and asked:
"These two are Bookworm and Mr. Drow!"

Mo Shanshan and Zall nodded slightly.

Although Zall and Xiahou have a deep hatred, but after the battle with Xiahou, he has vented a lot, and he will no longer be controlled by hatred, and his strength has greatly increased at this time. He is not afraid of Xiahou, and even has the confidence to win the battle.

For an enemy that can be defeated or even killed at any time, it is natural to face it calmly. After all, no one would be angry with a dead person, right?

Mo Shanshan knew that the next conversation in Dongyuan belonged to the internal affairs of the Tang Empire, so he stood up and gave a little blessing, and then took Zall away. After all, only Ke Haoran, Jian Xiaoxiao and Situ Yi were in the carriage at this time Lan, they are better protected in it.

Mo Shanshan and the others left, Xia Hou looked at the black and thick tea soup in the teacup.Silent for a long time, with a flick of the wrist, he put it into his lips and drank it in one gulp. The gown moved with the wind, indescribably heroic and casual, just like drinking a glass of double-distilled spirits.

The tea soup is like blood in the throat.The general's voice became more and more cold and stern, with the meaning of gold and stone.

"Mr. Ke..."

What was said in the big tent was that when Xiahou was facing the threat of Xiling and the court and academy did not speak out, he had no choice but to kill Murong, betray Mingzong and seek refuge in Xiling to be a dog.

Xiahou told what happened back then, not because he wanted to change anything, but because he had a knot in his heart.

He didn't understand why His Majesty was silent, and he also resented his master's silence.

And Mr. Li Slowly told all the events of the year. His Majesty did not remain silent, but was ready to meet Xiling swordsmen at any time, and Master was aloof. If Xiling really made a move, how could he not speak up.

It's all because Xia Hou was too nervous about his own sister, so he made mistakes every time he made a mistake, until it reached the point where he couldn't recover today.

This time His Majesty sent the academy to the frontier fort practice, obviously he didn't want to use Xiahou.And once His Majesty abandons Xiahou, then his role in Xiling will be gone.

A Xiahou who has no value, then his end will be death. He is not afraid of death, but afraid that the younger sister in the palace will be implicated by him.

In fact, Xiahou's choice should have been based on the calculations of the Xiling Temple, or they just saw Xiahou's character, the Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi's character, and even the master's aloofness.

Many calculations made Xiahou think that he had been abandoned by His Majesty and Master, so he could only put all his eggs in one basket and put himself under Xiling's command to be a dog.

Poor people must have something to hate. Although Xia Hou's experience was bitter, it was entirely Xia Hou's own choice.

It's not that the master has never explained Xiahou, the word "inaction" is an explanation for Xiahou, but like Long Qing, he didn't understand the meaning at all, so the trouble has reached the point where it is irreparable today.

For Xiahou's sake, Emperor Tang naturally wouldn't do anything to Xiahou, but once Xiahou is not reused, then all the karma of what he has done these years will have retribution.

The elder brother slowly pushed the teacup in front of him farther away, looked up at Xia Hou calmly and said, "If you have finished speaking, then I should say something that you probably don't like to hear."

Xia Hou narrowed his eyes slightly.The fingers tapping the table had already stopped.

The elder brother asked, "Who ordered those horse thieves who attacked the academy team on the grassland to obey?"

Xiahou replied, "I."

The eldest brother asked: "Who transferred the more than a thousand Tang cavalry by the Hulan Sea?"

Xiahou replied, "I."

The senior brother asked: "Who wants to shoot my junior brother to death in the mountain road?"

Xiahou calmly replied, "It's still me."

The elder brother was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "In that case, you should retire to old age."

Xia Hou squinted his eyes and looked at the elder brother.

After answering many questions, he only asked one sentence: "Mr. Da wants to interfere in the government?"

The elder brother took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"Master doesn't let the academy interfere with the government because he wants us disciples to stay away from such trivial things as the government and vulgar things.

As a guest of the temple, you should be very aware of the matter of the master going to Taoshan, so you should understand what is the most important thing in the eyes of the master.

It is a trivial matter for you to organize a group of horse thieves in the wasteland without telling the court and the temple. It is also a trivial matter if you want to snatch the heavenly book.

But you want to kill my academy junior, that's a big deal. "

Xiahou was silent when he heard the words, and he seemed unable to resist the big things in his master's heart, so he could only return to his old age.

But Xia Hou also knew that Gui Lao seemed to have broken free from the shackles of his body, but he couldn't eliminate his own crisis.

Especially Mr. Thirteen's killing intent in Ning Que's heart, although well hidden, was very conspicuous in Xiahou's perception.

Since he was forced to return to old age by the Academy, the Academy would no longer take action against him, and neither would Xiling.

But Ning Que is different, with this bloody feud, Ning Que can challenge himself head-on, and Xiling will also take this opportunity to make both himself and Ning Que hurt...
