Three poles high in the sun, in front of the Imperial Palace of the State of Yun.
Zhong Li pushed open the carriage door, smelling of alcohol after a hangover. With the support of his own soldiers, he staggered down with frivolous steps.
In fact, at this time, it was already past the time for the Weiwei Department to respond. But Zhongli was a Weiwei, so naturally no one dared to ask.
Zhongli was born into a distinguished family of generals in the Yun Kingdom. He was a general in the Yun Kingdom's army for three generations above him, and his family education was well-established. However, with such a background, Zhongli's talents were somewhat unworthy of his status.
He has been a playboy since he was a child, has a bad temper, and is always impatient. He is only at the sixth level of cultivation, and he has learned the art of war from his family.
He had no achievements in either civil or military affairs. The old head of the Zhong family had planned to let him enjoy wealth and wealth for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, Zhongli spent a long time outside, fighting cockfights and horse racing with a group of dudes, and developed a great gambling habit. When Wang Xiao first showed his prowess, Zhongli was sure that he could achieve something, and he invested all his wealth in it early on.
on him.
Helping him in times of need, coupled with Wang Xiao's idea that he has a lot of money to sell, Zhong Li has skyrocketed since then. Although he lacks talent and virtue, he can be ranked among the nine ministers.
After getting off the carriage, Zhong Li pushed away the soldiers who were supporting him and walked into the Guards Office. In a daze, he glanced at the lobby of the Guards Office. Suddenly, he was sweating on his back, and he was so drunk that he was frightened.
go.
A group of guards' subordinates stood obediently in the lobby of the Guard's Office. Even when they heard Zhong Li coming in, they did not dare to look back.
At the main seat, Wang Xiao looked at Zhong Li who had arrived late and said nothing.
Zhong Li looked around, with a bitter look on his face, he walked to the hall and saluted with his hands:
"I've met the Grand Master! Why didn't the Grand Master come in advance..."
"All subordinate officers, please retreat first!" Wang Xiao interrupted directly.
All the officers of the Guards Department breathed a big sigh of relief and quickly retreated out of the hall. The last officer to leave closed the hall thoughtfully.
As the subordinate officers retreated, Zhongli simply knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Please punish me, Master!"
Just when Wang Xiao was about to get angry, he made Zhong Li lie down and confess his crime. The scolding voice that he was about to blurt out suddenly got stuck in his throat.
As for Zhong Li, it was natural that Wang Xiao was aware of his careless temperament. He had scolded him countless times in the past ten years, but he always showed signs of being honest after a period of time.
Wang Xiao looked at Zhong Li, who looked like he was not stingy, and sighed helplessly, feeling quite aggrieved and said:
"Is your punishment too small? Get up quickly. If I catch you again, you will no longer be a guard!"
It has to be said that in the Yun Kingdom today, the only one who can defeat Wang Xiao is Zhong Li!
When Zhong Li saw Wang Xiao say this, he knew that he had escaped. He stood up with a playful smile and said:
"Grand Master came here today, what's the matter?"
Wang Xiao looked at Zhong Li's playful smile, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said helplessly:
"The troops on the front line are in a tight situation, so we can't just ignore them all the time. I came here today to say goodbye to the little emperor. On the way, I also came to see how you handle the affairs in the Forbidden Army... As expected, it's a complete mess!"
Zhong Li scratched his face, lowered his head again, and stopped talking!
After all, it was his own daughter who set an example for others to see. Wang Xiao couldn’t blame him too much. The topic changed and he said:
"Is there anything strange in the palace now?"
Zhong Li blinked and recalled:
"Nothing strange at all. Just a few days ago, Concubine Zhang's niece entered the palace. I took a look at her from a distance and thought, hey, that girl looks very exciting!"
"Concubine Zhang's niece?" Wang Xiao frowned.
"Yes, Taicang Lingxi is the brother-in-law of Concubine Zhang. His daughter is called Ling Wan'er. She was weak since she was a child and was raised in Jizhao nunnery outside the city. I have checked all these and there is nothing wrong with her."
Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully and stopped asking.
Zhong Li became curious and couldn't help but ask:
"Master, except for her brother-in-law, Concubine Zhang has no help in the court and is trapped in the palace. Why are you so afraid of her?"
"I met her a few years ago and I just thought she was not simple." Wang Xiao said casually.
A few years ago, Wang Xiao saw Zhang Taifei from a distance. Under the gaze of his Yin Yang family's secret art Wen Xin Tong, a purple aura condensed above Zhang Taifei's head to form a huge purple butterfly with gorgeous patterns, which impressed him deeply.
Human visions are the result of the combination of human spirit, energy, and heaven and earth. They are mysterious and mysterious. Even Wang Xiao cannot tell a person's character and ability just by looking at a vision.
It's just that such a vision cannot be an ordinary person. Therefore, Wang Xiao is always a little afraid of Mrs. Zhang.
Wang Xiao shook his head and said:
"Anyway, you can just fool around on weekdays. Now is a critical moment. You must not be careless about everything in the palace!"
Seeing Wang Xiao's serious expression, Zhong Li also put away his playful smile, cupped his hands and said:
"yes!"
Wang Xiao nodded and said:
"Let's go and accompany me to meet the little emperor."
Hearing this, Zhong Li quickly accompanied Wang Xiao into the palace.

"Master, please see me? Why is he here?" Xiao Cheng said sleepily when Feng Bao called him from the bed.
Although it was already three o'clock in the morning, it was not yet time for Xiao Cheng to get up.
No way, compared to pretending to be a fool, sleeping is not so tiring.
Feng Bao said in a low voice while changing Xiao Cheng's clothes:
"I heard from the eunuchs in the palace who went out to purchase that two days ago, our army from the Yun Kingdom fought with the army from the Li Dynasty, and suffered a few minor defeats. I think the grand master must have been unable to sit still and wanted to return to the east to take charge of the army."
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded, knowing something in his mind.
When he finished changing his clothes and came to the Yangxin Hall, Wang Xiao had been waiting for a while.
"Old minister, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Wang Xiao bowed to Xiao Cheng and said.
Xiao Cheng's face was blank, with a silly smile on his face, and he said to Wang Xiao:
"Grand Master is here today, do you want me to come and play?"
Since Wang Xiao came out of the mountain, he has relied on the secret skills of the Yin and Yang family to achieve success. He has long been convinced of it. He no longer has any doubts about whether Xiao Cheng is really stupid, and replied:
"Your Majesty, I am here today to say goodbye to Your Majesty."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes widened, looking extremely surprised, and said:
"Why? Why did the Grand Master leave? Could it be that you, like my father, are seriously ill?"
When Wang Xiao heard this, his chest felt tight.
This is the second time today that he has been deflated.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. The battle on the front line is tense, and the veteran is going to take charge!" Wang Xiao said in a dull voice.
Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes and looked confused. He turned slightly towards Feng Bao and asked in a voice that he thought was very low:
"Is it tight? What does it mean to eat?"
Feng Bao glanced at Wang Xiao in embarrassment and replied in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, this means that the war ahead is unfavorable."
Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes and said:
"What does it mean to be unfavorable?"
"It's just bad, I want to lose!" Feng Bao replied.
At this time, Xiao Cheng was even more confused and murmured:
"Why don't you just say you're going to lose? Why should you say something surprising or disadvantageous that people can't understand!"
The corner of Wang Xiao's mouth twitched, and he quickly interrupted Xiao Cheng's thoughts:
"Your Majesty was weak and never went to school. It's not surprising that he didn't know this. But as a king, you need to read more books before you can govern the country."
When Xiao Cheng heard the reading, he smiled bitterly and said:
"It's not that I don't want to study, it's just that in this palace, in summer, the sound of cicadas chirping is so annoying that I have no intention of studying!"
Wang Xiao heard this and casually said:
"It's easy, just recruit some palace attendants and imperial troops, make a few sticks, and then catch them!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, a look of reluctance appeared on his face, and he said unhappily:
"Okay then. Feng Bao, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Feng Bao bowed and said respectfully:
"yes!"
At the same time, in the line of sight that ordinary people cannot see, the purple Ceka [sticky rod] shines with purple light and flashes past.
