577. Chapter 577 Don't blame me for beating mandarin ducks
Xia Qingtian was startled when he suddenly heard Xia Ziluo's earth-shattering cry.
When he saw Xia Ziluo's tears and the blood on his neck, his face instantly turned pale with shock, and then the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
"Zi, Ziluo——" Xia Qingtian's body shook slightly uncontrollably, "Don't, don't be afraid, dad is here to save you."
He is the powerful Prince Xia. He has faced enemies from both sides many times, but he can still face them with a smile.
However, when he saw Xia Ziluo's tears and blood, he couldn't help but make his legs weak, fearing that the sharp sword in Murong Xitian's hand would accidentally cut Xia Ziluo's throat.
Sure enough, as the world-famous fortune teller said, his only nemesis in this life is his daughter-Xia Ziluo.
"Dad, hurry up! I lost a lot of blood." Of course Xia Ziluo knew that the sword edge only made a small cut on his neck and did not damage the main blood vessels at all.
However, in order to quickly help Murong Xitian reverse the deadlock, she had to take advantage of Xia Qingtian and Xia Ziyan's love for the real princess and cry exaggeratedly.
"Okay, okay, okay." Xia Qingtian nodded in panic.
At this time, Xia Ziyan hurriedly came over, lowered his head and whispered to Xia Qingtian: "Dad, Murong Xitian held my sister hostage and forced us to withdraw our troops. What should we do now? Should we withdraw our troops, or should we find other ways to rescue our little sister?"
"Bah, you want your sister's life?" Xia Qingtian couldn't help but scolded her, but her voice was obviously much lower, "In this situation, of course your sister is the most important."
After reprimanding him, Xia Qingtian suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xia Ziyan hard on the mouth, "You still have the nerve to call me daddy? Unfilial son, why did you bring the army to the palace to cause such nonsense? This is where you are causing such nonsense? Look at what you did to me.
My precious daughter was harmed. If she does anything wrong, I won’t skin you."
Although he knew Xia Qingtian was acting, this slap really hurt.
"Dad, I was wrong." Xia Ziyan covered his face, his eyebrows turning upside down because of his grievance.
Xia Qingtian cursed a few words, and when he turned around and looked at Murong Xitian, his face turned into a smiling Maitreya Buddha: "Good son-in-law, if you have something to say, what are you doing? What on earth are we doing?
As a family, it’s not a big deal if there is a misunderstanding between members of this family, and it won’t lead to a sword-and-gun confrontation.”
"You'd better tell your son this." Murong Xitian snorted disdainfully.
Xia Qingtian didn't dare to say a word, and had to nod and bow down to please Murong Xitian: "Yes, yes, I will let my unfilial son withdraw his troops right now. Don't take it to heart if he makes a fool of himself. Well, the sword is ruthless, so be careful.
Please don't hurt my precious daughter."
In a hurry, Xia Qingtian didn't reveal the truth, and directly lowered his identity and called himself "I".
"The Prime Minister is really good at judging the situation! But - I heard that Prime Minister Xia played a piece of music for me, saying that I collaborated with the enemy and treason. I wonder where this came from?" Murong Xitian raised his eyebrows and his voice suddenly dropped.
Below zero degree.
If he didn't take the opportunity to deal with the treacherous old fox Xia Qingtian, Xia Ziluo's efforts would have been wasted.
He couldn't let Xia Ziluo get hurt in vain.
"My dear son-in-law, you can't blame me for this. When this matter was investigated, General Meng Zhe, who was guarding Xiashengguan, first reported that he had discovered that spies from the royal palace came in and out of the Genglan Dynasty very frequently. Then all the officials in the court also expressed their opinions one after another.
I wrote the memorial and discovered many doubts about the palace. These conclusive evidences indicate that you are planning to rebel. You and I are both ministers, and we should share the country's worries. It is not good for me to suppress the memorial for you and let people say that I am covering up my son-in-law! So!
, all I can do is to act according to the truth." Xia Qingtian pushed 265, using his usual tricks to remove himself completely, and also put on a loyal minister's posture, which made people unable to refute.
