Chapter 203 Jin丨Exclusive publication by Jiang Wenxue

Liu Yixuan wrote a memorial the next day, telling Zhao Ji the news from the front line and condemning Li Wei.

Although Zhao Ji was incompetent, he was not like Zhu Youxiao, who handed over all the government affairs to his confidants and did nothing himself.

But he rarely did those troublesome things himself. After reading it, he called Cai Jing over and asked for his opinion.

Cai Jing analyzed the pros and cons for Zhao Ji on the surface, and advised him to be patient and give in, and not to go against the King of Taiping at this time, but secretly added fuel to the fire and seduce the King of Taiping.

Zhao Ji's face became worse and worse. "Okay, no need to say more. Just do as you say, leave."

Cai Jing backed away.

Mi Youqiao came forward with a cup of tea: "Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji put down his pen and took the teacup: "Who else in the court can fight against the King of Taiping?"

Mi Youqiao immediately knelt in front of Zhao Ji, his mouth tightly shut, as if he was quite frightened and dared not answer, showing with practical actions the overwhelming power of the King of Taiping.

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes at him, and after a while he walked forward, held his arm, and said kindly: "Look how scared you are. I just asked casually. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, sir."

-After

leaving the Shenhou Mansion, Gu Xichao deliberately acted indignant. A few days later, he mustered up the courage to visit the Xiangfu, but was driven out because of his humble status.

He did not give up, but went to Cai Jing's subordinates in a roundabout way and asked for a few errands from "Comb" Li Suchi.

The "Four Famous Detectives in the World" are very famous, and there are many imitators in the world. Li Suchi is one of the "Little Four Famous Detectives" and has already made a name for himself.

But he did not imitate the virtues of the Four Famous Detectives at all. He secretly worked for Fu Zongshu and took care of some dirty work in the underworld.

Gu Xichao had to do it to show his loyalty.

But before he really took action, he had to check with the two sons of the Xue family to avoid offending those who should not be offended and being held accountable.

He had already established connections with Cai Jing and his gang, and could not interact with the Taiping Palace openly.

Gu Xichao wanted to come late at night, but considering the health of the eldest son Xue, he did not dare to come so late and sneaked into the palace at night.

He avoided the guards, walked around the palace according to the route in his memory, and finally came to Xue Chen's courtyard.

The lights were still on in the room, and occasionally a few voices were heard, complaining that one of the brothers did not take care of his body.

It should be the eldest son.

He has always been weak. After entering the Ministry of War, he spent most of his time recuperating at home and rarely appeared in the government office.

Gu Xichao waited outside for a while. After a woman dressed as a maid came out of the house, she walked to the door and knocked gently.

"Come in."

Gu Xichao was afraid of scaring the sick eldest son, and even more afraid that he would come suddenly and be beaten to death by the second son as an assassin.

He slowed down his movements, slowly opened the door and walked in.

Both of them were here, one sitting on the couch, the other sitting on the round stool opposite. The two identical faces looked at him at the same time. Gu Xichao felt more and more stressed. He pinched his fingers and said politely, "Excuse me."

The voice of the one sitting on the stool trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure the discomfort. He asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

The other one looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

Gu Xichao couldn't tell their identities, and in such an atmosphere, he didn't dare to ask directly.

He was concise and quickly told them all his experiences in the past few days. He casually mentioned that he was taken to the old building by Pei Rui, and observed the reactions of the two without making a sound.

The one sitting on the couch said lightly: "Xiaomi has always been like this, don't take it to heart."

The one opposite him blushed slightly and spoke slowly: "Who is Li Suchi? Even if you can gain his trust, it will be impossible to surpass him without a year or two. Working for him is thankless."

The one on the couch nodded: "Not bad."

Gu Xichao bowed: "I am short-sighted."

The one sitting on the stool kept clenching and unclenching his right fist. He used great force, and blood could be vaguely seen between his fingers. It should be that his nails pinched the palm. As he moved, his breathing seemed to become more rapid.

Gu Xichao realized that he had come at the wrong time and was about to say goodbye and leave, but the man on the couch said again: "Since you have already had contact with them, don't back down. But I hope you can move faster and don't make me wait too long."

Gu Xichao secretly groaned. If he could quickly gain the trust of Cai Jing and others, why would he need to come to the Taiping Palace?

He knew very well that before he had the strength, he must make his position clear. Trying to please both sides would only lead to his death faster.

Gu Xichao was helpless. He knew in his heart that this matter was his token of allegiance to the Xue family twins. If he even needed to ask the twins for help for this, didn't it mean that his ability was limited and he was not worthy of following the Taiping King?

But this matter was too much to ask.

If someone else had made things difficult for him like this, Gu Xichao would never accept it.

However, the two sons of the Xue family are absolutely powerful. The prince is very skilled in martial arts. The two have already served as officials in the court. They also have the reliable background of Prince Taiping. There is no room for him to refuse.

Gu Xichao's mind raced, and he said calmly: "I have a way to get close to Cai Jing, but I need the two sons to do me a small favor."

The one on the couch said: "Go ahead."

Gu Xichao: "I would like to ask the two sons to cooperate in acting out a scene, a scene of me breaking up with the palace."

The one who seemed to be in great pain sneered: "Didn't Pei Rui act it out?"

Gu Xichao: "Mr. Pei is indeed close to the palace, but he brought me back as a constable of the Divine Detective Department that day, and he has nothing to do with the Taiping Palace. What's more, I didn't have a conflict with Mr. Pei that day, so it can't be considered a breakup."

"You have a point, but if we brothers take action, how can you survive, let alone appear in front of Cai Jing. This matter still needs Xiao Mian to do..." He paused, "Then I will also send soldiers to arrest you, and the reason will be kept secret. No one else should tell it except Cai Jing."

Gu Xichao thought this could be done, he nodded: "I will follow your orders, sir."

"As for your chips to gain his trust, they can't be too fake, nor can they really leak confidential information. How about this, you just tell him directly that Yuan Feishuang and Liu Yixuan have been bribed by me, they are secretly plotting rebellion, and have already surrounded many people."

System: [Didn't you say fishing?]

Xue Chen: [I regret it. It's faster to fry the fish directly than fishing.]

System: [?]

Xue Chen: [Think about it, Xiaofen and Xiaoliu's subordinates were all good and had no intention of betraying them. After such suspicion and suspicion, plus Gu Xichao's tricks behind the scenes, they must be worried.

[By then, even Cai Jing's confidants may not be able to withstand such an atmosphere. There must be a lot of people who choose to follow me. 】

System: [Awesome. 】

Gu Xichao knew that Xue Chen and those two people were very close.

It was no secret. They did not avoid anyone when they were in contact, and they even often got together outside.

Many people were unsure of the deeper meaning of Xue Chen's actions. Some said that the Taiping Palace was balancing several forces, and some said that the Xue family's son and the Taiping Prince were not on good terms.

Even though Gu Xichao had been paying attention to the affairs of the court, he could not guess Xue Chen's intentions.

Now that he heard Xue Chen say this, he was even more confused.

Gu Xichao asked curiously: "Are the two of them really..."

The young master looked at him with a smile.

Gu Xichao knew that he had overstepped his bounds, so he shut his mouth and did not ask any more questions.

Another young master who was not feeling well said bluntly: "What else do you want to do?"

Gu Xichao stood up: "No, I have to thank the two young masters today. I will not disturb you. Goodbye."

"You go, remember to avoid people, we will not see you off."

"Yes."

Gu Xichao left quietly as he came.

Gong Jiu looked at his brother aggrievedly: "Brother..."

Xue Chen said lightly: "I will not hit you at this time."

Gong Jiu: "You have the heart to torture me?"

Xue Chen: "Go back to your own room and treat this matter as your own private matter. Don't show such an expression in front of me."

Gong Jiu snorted lightly and said disappointedly: "Do you dislike me?"

Xue Chen: "I just hope you can face yourself."

Gong Jiu stood up and slowly moved towards him.

Ever since his brother knew about his masochistic fetish, Gong Jiu has been enduring himself. He and Xue Chen lived close to each other, and he was afraid of defiling Xue Chen's ears, so he hadn't used pain to relieve himself for many days. He

accidentally touched the table just now with a little too much force, and the calmness he had been trying to maintain these days was broken. Desire surged like a tide, almost destroying his reason.

He cared about his brother's reaction and hoped that his brother could accept himself like this, so he faced his fear and did not leave at the first time.

Just before Gu Xichao came, he was still begging Xiao He to get the whip, and was severely reprimanded by his brother.

Gong Jiu's tone was tearful: "I don't avoid it anymore, brother, don't hate me..."

Xue Chen was speechless: [I kept pretending not to know because I was afraid that he would do this. ]

System: [You can't bear to refuse again? 】

It began to hope that Xiao He would not come back, otherwise these two perverts would get what they wanted.

Xue Chen: [Stop your dirty thoughts! I just don't want to talk to him about these things. Being a brother is so tiring. Not only do I have to care about his body, but I also have to care about his thoughts. 】

System: [A pervert is being ideologically educated by another pervert...]

Xue Chen: [Shut up. 】

He locked the system in a small dark room.

"I don't hate you, I just hope you can be sensible." Xue Chen touched his forehead tenderly, and found that the temperature was indeed very high, so he handed him a glass of cool water.

"We are the closest people. No matter what we do, we don't have to hide it from each other!" Gong Jiu's emotions fluctuated violently and he spoke very quickly. He buried his head in Xue Chen's arms, his body trembling slightly. "My illness, my brother should know, and he should face the reality. I am such a filthy person."

"This is not a disease." Xue Chen pinched his chin and asked Gong Jiu to raise his head. He put the cup of water to his brother's mouth and fed him some water.

"This is a disease, a disease! It is an uncontrollable disease! Just like Yun Heyan's desire for blood, and just like my brother is often sick, I can't control it! I am sick, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and there is nothing to be ashamed of!" Gong Jiu seemed to be eager to prove something.

Xue Chen sighed and released the system from the small dark room: [Did you hear it? This is why he can be beaten anytime and anywhere, and why he can force others to beat him with a clear conscience. 】

The system also sighed: [Alas. 】
