Shao Zhiyan frowned, and asked with some surprise: "In the past few years, do you really think so?"

Xiao Jingrong shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Shouldn't I think so? After all, he told me these words himself back then. He told me that he sent someone to take care of me and protect me because he owed me money back then. Someone else made a promise. He owed someone his life. That's why he wanted this."

"You don't need to say more. I know what you want to say. What you want to say is that you are afraid that blatantly assisting me will arouse the suspicion of the father? But now I am the prince who the father wants to assist. Isn't it just right for him to assist me? I took advantage of my father's wishes. I'm afraid he never thought of helping me with the position from the very beginning. Otherwise, why did he just send someone to protect me in the past?"

Shao Zhiyan frowned. He and his father knew some things, but he couldn't tell Xiao Jingrong.There was no way for him and his father to stand on Xiao Jingrong's side in an open and honest manner. On the contrary, it was more beneficial for Xiao Jingrong to appear more alienated.The more I can help my uncle feel at ease supporting Xiao Jingrong.After all, the life experience of Xiao Jingchang's biological mother has always been a mystery among the people and the palace.But he and his father did know the truth.

Shao Zhiyan had no choice but to think of another reason and said: "I don't know what my father told you? But in my opinion, the farther I am from you, the more I protect you. Don't forget my current What is my identity? If I stand on your side openly, do you think uncle will let it go?"

"Don't you forget who my mother is? Will he worry that one day I will take control of you and replace you? Now uncle is willing to put these insignificant rights in my hands. It is because I am far away from you, plus My legs were disabled in exchange for it.”

Shao Zhiyan's words left Xiao Jingrong speechless for a while, and he finally managed to say a word after he was hesitant for a long time: "You, you can secretly help me. Instead of really staying away from me like now."

"Do you think I didn't help you, or do you think I didn't remind you? Do you think Uncle won't know if I hang around you often?" Shao Zhiyan asked very rudely.

Unexpectedly, his rude tone made Xiao Jingrong smile: "Hey, this is the Shao Zhirong I know. Don't be polite to me on weekdays. I really hate it. What can I say? Straightforward? Originally, I thought those military generals should be straightforward, but I didn’t expect that most of them would hug me every day and talk in a roundabout way. How is it different from those literati?”

"The most important thing is that I can't even come up with an idea. I'm not as good as those literati. So I especially hope that I can recruit some truly talented courtiers to use for me. However, you are an exception. Even if you don't have a As an official, you are by my side to help me with ideas, and it is much more useful to mention me than them."

Shao Zhiyan didn't answer Xiao Jingrong's words, but asked suddenly with a serious face: "Are you still determined to win the treasure of the previous dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingrong's expression, which Shao Zhiyan could see even in the dim night, became uncomfortable.

Xiao Jingrong put his hands behind his back and pretended to be calm and said: "That's another matter. After all, there is not only one person who is looking for the treasure of the previous dynasty. Besides, you help me find the treasure of the previous dynasty and please the emperor. You are also helping me Is it? And according to my informant, do you already have any clues? Could it be that you want to take the credit for yourself?”

While speaking, Xiao Jingrong's previous feeling of being close to him has disappeared.This made Shao Zhiyan couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, and sneered.He suppressed the disappointment in his heart.After all, didn't he already know that the current Xiao Jingrong is no longer the former Xiao Jingrong.

He even expected to have a clear explanation with Xiao Jingrong tonight.Looking at it now, it seems that I am naive.However, judging from Xiao Jingrong's words, Leng Yuanting had already released clues to the treasures of the previous dynasty in advance.Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingrong was the first to be fooled.

However, it is estimated that Xiao Jingrong planned to ask about this matter at the banquet tomorrow.It's just that I didn't expect to meet myself on this river today.That's why he thought this was a good opportunity, so he thought about letting him help him find the treasure of the previous dynasty step by step.He was quite patient in this matter.

Unexpectedly, I didn't play the cards according to his routine, and asked this question directly.Now it is estimated that he may feel a little bit uneasy.

Shao Zhiyan's fluctuating mood suddenly calmed down.He once again returned to his respectful attitude and said to Xiao Jingrong: "My lord, you are joking. You also know that I am the chief of the Red Shadow Guard. Uncle Ben has assigned this task to me. If I find This is a matter of the next point. How can you say that you want to take credit for it?"

"What's more, it is Leng Yuanting who is in charge of the treasures of the previous dynasty. I am helping him. Even if I want to get information about the treasures of the previous dynasty, I have to go through him. So why does the prince feel that I am not helping you?" What about it? And you said that you have obtained the news of the treasures of the previous dynasty. But I have not found anything here. Leng Yuanting has not told me any news. I am still in the dark. May the prince tell me next time , What new clues has this treasure of the previous dynasty obtained?"

"You, you, you..." Xiao Jingrong didn't know what to say for a while when Shao Zhiyan said it, so he could only point at Shao Zhiyan and keep pointing at you.In the end, he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and was about to leave.

Shao Zhiyan sat behind him and said loudly: "My lord, don't forget to put us down at the next pier later. We have to go back to the mansion, and we have to attend the Qiuju Banquet tomorrow. Don't forget about it, my lord." Don't play too much tonight, you'll be late tomorrow. Otherwise, Uncle won't be able to justify it."

Xiao Jingrong's footsteps just paused.In the end, he quickened his pace and left without looking back.Shao Zhiyan saw Xiao Jingrong leave.He lowered his head and smiled helplessly.It seems that the two of them will eventually go further and further apart.At the beginning, he thought that the two of them were like-minded people.

He'd better tell his father, and let his father make it clear to Xiao Jingrong.Otherwise continue like this.Even if he was not ambushed and killed by others, sooner or later he would be destroyed by his current personality.

As soon as Xiao Jingrong left without life, he brought Su Wanqiu and the two over.

Su Wanqiu looked at Xiao Jingrong who was walking away and frowned.Looking at Shao Zhirong, he said in a puzzled way: "The conversation between you two has collapsed. I thought you two had a very good relationship. Even if you don't have an official position, you are willing to be his counselor willingly."
