Besides, speaking of the matter of your son Xiao Shizhong, no matter how badly you, Xiao Guogang, parent your son, you cannot directly ask for the death penalty, right?
From just a few words, it is clear how much he dotes on his son!
He neither defended nor pleaded for his son, nor did he condone his son's guilt.
"Father-in-law, please stand up quickly. Your Xiao family has been related to me since the founding of the Great Yao Dynasty. You have been loyal to the royal family for generations. You have also worked hard to assist me for decades..."
Liu Xian gestured to Xiao Guogang to stand up, then began to speak in an eloquent voice. There was not a single word that was unpleasant to the ear, and every word he said was full of apology.
If you don’t say something, it won’t be clear; if you don’t explain something, it won’t be thorough!
Anyway, the implication is that Xiao Shizhong could not be saved and I had no choice but to kill him, but it has nothing to do with you, Xiao Guogang, and the entire Xiao family.
So, old man, you can't be so pessimistic!
If both you and your son were dead, how could I uproot the Xiao family with a wave of my hand?
Moreover, Liu Xian knew better than ever that Xiao Guogang was already very old, and if he could sacrifice his own life to preserve the peace of Xiao Shizhong or the Xiao family, he would choose to die for the country without hesitation.
But I won't give you this opportunity. Besides, Xiao Shizhong is gone, and what about the baby in your daughter-in-law's belly?
As long as people have concerns and even a slight hope for change, they will subconsciously not take life and death lightly.
What’s more, what about Prime Minister Xiao who has such a high status and position?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my crime, but I am too ashamed to stand in the court any longer. Please allow me to resign as prime minister."
Xiao Guogang did not stand up, but knelt on the ground again.
The 50,000 Xiliang cavalry are powerful, but they are not sure of victory...
Besides, my Xiao family is not a pushover.
Xiao Guogang was calculating quickly in his mind.
At this moment, he changed his mind and basically stuck to the original plan, fighting to the death.
If Xiao Guogang had a choice, he would naturally choose to save Xiao Shizhong's life.
To put it bluntly, even if my daughter-in-law Lin Suyi is pregnant with a boy, time is running out!
"Father-in-law, you must not do this. Your words make me feel uncomfortable. The whole court cannot do without you, Father-in-law!"
"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, am truly ashamed and ashamed."
"Let's put it this way, father-in-law, regarding the matter of Shizhong..." Liu Xian frowned, looking very conflicted and embarrassed.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Let's wait a little longer. I will make a long-term plan."
"His Majesty…"
Xiao Guogang leaned over with his head pressed against the ground, his voice choked with sobs, he was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
However, things have come to this point. No matter what Liu Xian's purpose is, there is no point in saying righteous words. It is better to be grateful and say nothing.
"Father-in-law, please stand up and sit down to talk!"
Hearing this, Xiao Guogang stood up tremblingly and sat down again.
"Alas, I originally planned to have a good meal, but I didn't expect..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Start eating. I'm really hungry."
Liu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in picking up some dishes.
The purpose has been achieved, and the atmosphere can be relaxed until the end of the banquet.
After that, the two people who seemed to be at odds with each other did not talk about any sensitive topics anymore, but only some trivial family matters.
Naturally, Xiao Guogang also returned home smoothly within the agreed time when he left.
As soon as he entered the study and saw the person sitting in the room, Xiao Guogang's eyes immediately showed a different look. He took two quick steps and clasped his fists.
He said excitedly, "My dear relative, thank you for coming here. I really don't know what to say."
"You are too polite, my dear in-laws. We are a family and we should not talk behind each other's backs. Shizhong is half my son. If you want to touch him, you have to ask whether Shenjian Villa agrees or not first."
The visitor also responded politely with a fist salute, showing his majestic aura of dominance.
Even masters like Pei Yihuo who were at the level of Godly Departure stood humbly and silently behind him.
He was none other than Xiao Shizhong's father-in-law, Lao Taishan.
The owner of Shenjian Villa, the supreme master of martial arts, Lin Dingtian.
His cultivation is unfathomable and he is recognized as the best martial artist in the world.
Xiao Guogang nodded and continued, "With my in-laws here, I feel relieved."
"I don't know when you want to rescue Shizhong. All the masters have gathered and are waiting for your order."
Hearing this, Xiao Guogang told him everything about his visit to the palace, and finally said solemnly and firmly: "So, I think it is better to act today than to wait for a better day. Let's act tonight and catch him off guard."
Lin Dingtian nodded immediately, "Okay, that's what I meant. With so many people, it's inevitable that we'll alert the enemy. It's better not to wait too long and have more dreams."
"Okay, from now on, my Xiao family has no way out. No matter what the outcome is, my Xiao family will share honor and disgrace with the Lin family!"
"Life and death are the same!"
Xiao Guogang and Lin Dingtian clasped hands together.
…
Worship the temple.
This is the main hall where the royal family of Dayao worshipped their ancestors. It is a forbidden area in the imperial palace and no one has ever entered this place except the emperors of all dynasties.
Anyone who dares to approach this place will only end up being reduced to ashes.
Because, few people in Dayao know that the four most mysterious elders are hiding here.
Four old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years...
Except the current Majesty Liu Xian, no one else can enter the hall!
Cao Zhengchun, who followed orders from his superiors, could only stand outside the door and wait like a grandson.
However, tonight an uninvited guest came, dropped from the sky, and stood steadily outside the main hall of the worship hall.
Dressed in black, with her face completely covered by a black veil...
Inside the palace.
"Old ghosts, I'm afraid it's too busy today. I can't even remember how many years ago it was since we last fought here."
"Old Four, I think your skills in talking are better than your skills in cultivation. Can you beat him?"
"Third brother, you still have the nerve to say that to fourth brother... You two are really a pair of fools. Don't you feel that the fluctuations of the cultivation level of the person coming here are familiar?"
"Second brother, I admit that the woman out there has a deeper level of cultivation than me... Hmm? You mean that witch?"
"This... She is really lucky to be still alive, and her cultivation has improved a lot. She is almost catching up with my brother. This is incredible."
"Hey, brother, why don't you speak? What are you thinking about?"
The four white-haired and youthful men in the hall noticed the person coming outside the door at the same time. Three of them surrounded the one who still had his eyes closed, and they talked to each other.
At this moment, a voice came into the hall.
"An old friend is visiting. Do you four old monsters have any gentlemanly manners? You just let a weak woman like me stand alone outside the door?"
"It really is that witch. She is really still alive and she even dares to come to my house."
"She's so arrogant! I'm going to go out and fuck her right now... Um, third brother, if you don't come with us, the eldest and second brothers can tolerate it, but you have such a bad temper..."
At this time, the great elder who was sitting around the three people opened his eyes, his expression was shining, and he stood up.
"I don't think things are that simple. The three of you stay here, I'll go meet her..."
