Tang Xi opened the door and came in, watching him put on his official uniform and hat for the rare occasion.
Such a stern attire gave Tang Shao's slightly mean face a sharp look, and his narrow eyes seemed to carry a warning whenever he casually glanced at them.
Tang Xi sighed in his heart.
If it weren't for the pressure from his brother above, he should have gone further than himself.
Not like now, like a victim.
"Don't blame your mother. At this time, we must work together."
Tang Shao stopped tying his hands and said to him: "Uncle Ten, don't worry, I understand in my heart."
After cleaning up his appearance, he was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know if I can come back alive after entering the palace this time. So, can Uncle Ten give me an answer?"
Tang Xi reluctantly cheered up: "You said?"
"Before his death, my father asked me to come back to Uncle Ten and said that he would make plans for me. Uncle Ten, has my father ever told you?"
Tang Xi nodded.
"What did he say?"
Tang Xi hesitated.
Tang Shao said: "After today, I may not have the chance to listen. Uncle Ten, please help me."
Tang Xi sighed, and finally obeyed him: "Eldest brother once told me that if there is nothing wrong with the Tang family, then it will be a matter of course to leave it to Da Lang. If there is a big change, then I have to weigh it carefully and choose someone to help."
Tang Shao's eyes moved slightly.
Choosing one person to assist him sounds like he and Tang Luo have equal chances, but who doesn't know that he is close to his tenth uncle? This means that Tang Xilai is asked to assist him.
"When did this happen?"
Tang Xi thought for a while: "It's been a few years since Da Lang took over the military power."
Tang Shao covered his face with his palms and laughed twice.
Laughter sounds more like crying.
He was not loved by his mother since he was a child, and his father treated him well, but he was still not as good as his eldest brother.
He thought that he might be destined to have no biological connection with his parents, so he could only try to persuade himself to think about it. Now, he finally confirmed that in his father's heart, he was as important as his eldest brother, and he was no worse than his eldest brother.
Tang Xi reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "The eldest brother is the head of the Tang family, so he must value the eldest son. Therefore, in the past, he valued Da Lang more. But this does not mean that he does not value you. How capable you are, he is
I know. If nothing happens, it would be the best outcome for Dalang to take over the Tang family. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to waste the elders and establish younger ones. But if something goes wrong... I still think that you are more suitable."
Tang Shao calmed down and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Ten. Knowing this, I can enter the palace with peace of mind."
Tang Xi felt uneasy after hearing this.
He said: "Are you going to bring more masters? Now that there are more monsters in the palace, it's like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."
Tang Shao shook his head: "If our Holy Sage really wants to eradicate me, no matter how many masters we bring, it will not work."
Tang Xi had a headache: "We know the danger, but we have to go. Otherwise, we will openly fall out with him."
"Well." Tang Shao said calmly, "I don't think it's a big problem. He wants to overthrow the Tang family, and he probably wants to kill the eldest brother. As I say, his prestige is not enough and his foundation is shallow, so killing him is of little use."
Just as Tang Xi was about to answer the call, a report suddenly came from outside: "Tenth Master, Second Young Master! Miss Mingqi, Miss Mingqi is back!"
What?
Both of them were stunned.
Ming Qi? How dare she come back?!
…
Mingwei originally didn't want to come back.
I really tried several ways, but I was still unsure of how to sneak into the palace to rescue Ji Xiaowu.
By chance, Ah Xuan came back with news that Emperor Tiancheng had summoned the Tang family to the palace, which seemed to finalize the matter.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the outcome of this matter will determine the direction of the Chu Kingdom.
Is he going to completely fall out and fight to the death, or is he going to maintain the superficial peace and fight openly and secretly?
Yang Shu was very excited: "It will be fine if we start fighting."
Ah Xuan poured cold water on his master: "I think it's unlikely. The Emperor of Nanchu is not a fool, and even if he is, neither are those two. At this time, our own power is unstable, and we want to confront the Tang family? This one is also
Isn’t it too tough?”
Duofu looked at this, then that, and said hesitantly: "It's hard to say, right? After all, it's not clear what Xing Gong's intentions are! Who knows if they are really helping Emperor Nan Chu."
After saying that, she saw that the three people present turned to look at her, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "I, did I say something wrong? Haha, even if you just talk casually, I don't understand the important affairs of the government."
"No," Mingwei said, "Thank you, you are right. The people Xing Palace chose before were Xuan Fei and Tang Shao. I think they may not look down on the Emperor of Nan Chu. Although I stand now
On his side, but I can’t say what he has in mind.”
Duofu was very happy to receive her approval: "It's just that the lady didn't think I was talking nonsense."
Yang Shu was a little troubled: "Did I run away too early? If I stayed with the Emperor of Nanchu, I would know what their plans are now. Hey, it's such a big thing, I'm so worried that I can't get involved!"
Seeing that Mingwei didn't answer, but his eyes were flickering, he was obviously thinking something wrong, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Mingwei said: "I'm wondering if I can enter the palace with the Tang family."
Yang Shu took a breath: "What's your plan? Are you looking for death when you go back to the Tang family now?"
"Not necessarily?" Mingwei smiled slyly, "After all, it's not easy to kill me!"
"No!" Yang Shu refused without even listening, "No matter you have a thousand reasons, I finally got you back, and now you run back by yourself? Absolutely not!"
…
Tang Xi and Tang Shao rushed over and saw Ming Wei surrounded by the guards of the Duke's Mansion.
Her appearance was no different from before, her expression was calm, as if she had returned to her own home.
Seeing the two of them, he smiled and saluted: "Tenth Master, Second Young Master. I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you?"
Tang Xi gritted his teeth: "You still dare to come! Ming Qi, our Tang family took you in, but you actually killed my eldest brother. How are we going to settle this account?!"
Mingwei raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What did the Tenth Master say? Before that, I was my daughter in Northern Qi, but I was kidnapped to Nan Chu for no reason, and I suffered a lot along the way. This
It seems like it was done by the Tang family, right? Could it be that Mr. Shi thinks that Miss Xiuyi is not considered a member of the Tang family?"
"you……"
"Since the Tang family kidnapped me, how can we talk about taking me in? The old lady saved me, and I cured her illness. We don't owe each other anything. I will help you smash Miss Ling's conspiracy and save the life of Master Ten.
, just treat it as the rent I pay to the Tang family. After all, we have no grudges and are against each other. Is there anything wrong with me plotting against the Tang family? "
"..." Tang Xi always thought that his eloquence was pretty good, but now he realized that compared with this woman, it was far behind!
She lurked in the Tang family and killed the head of the Tang family at the critical moment. Such deep hatred was easily overcome by her with a few words.
It’s not that she didn’t admit what she had done, but she showed a natural attitude: We are enemies, and I just want to trick you, what?
Although he was filled with hatred now, Tang Xi felt that this seemed to be the truth.
