Chapter 66 Have I Offended You?
Xia Chixiao almost broke her teeth.

Luo Xiao knew that he had gotten into trouble. He was too hasty and too stupid. He should not have said that the old lady and the young lady had been killed.

Why did he blurt it out like that?He continued: "Master, since I found two pairs of grandparents, there may be a third pair, a fourth pair, and more pairs! Since it is not the only one, then there are more possibilities, right?"

He knelt down again: "Master, I will be more careful and meticulous. I will contact the brothers in the north and we will definitely find the old lady and the young lady! I will go now, general, don't be impulsive!"

Xia Chixiao said hoarsely: "Okay!"

He clenched his hands tightly, and his heart flew to the north, but he couldn't leave!
His father died in an unknown manner. As a son of man, it is his responsibility to find out the truth, uncover the traitor, and comfort his father and the northern soldiers who died in the battle!

Luo Xiaofei got on his horse, raised his whip, and headed north again.

The general looked so bad.

Luo Xiao slapped him in the face, he was too incompetent, so what if the war happened?So what if there are many refugees?So what if it’s hard to identify one’s identity even if he dies of hunger?
This time he must turn the northern border over and find the old lady and the young lady!

Xia Chixiao sat silently for a long time.

His heart was turbulent, and the pain was like a twisting knot.

He was waiting expectantly for good news, waiting for relatives to greet him, and waiting to make up for his debt to a woman.

But it’s more debt!
They must be somewhere, he will find them, he will!

Xia Chixiao's face was pale, his eyes were red, his steps were sloppy, he staggered onto his horse and headed back to the capital.

The galloping horses are galloping like lightning.

The wind in front of him made Xia Chixiao's eyes redder and redder, and the whistling of the wind in his ears made his mind go blank.

Ten miles away, not far away, Xia Chixiao was only halfway through when he was stopped by the oncoming person.

There was a group of more than a dozen riders on the opposite side, and many servants and guards followed with bows and arrows, a mighty force of 40 to [-] people.

The one at the head had handsome features, an aura of nobility, and an aura of superiority to his expression. His whole body was set off by the splendor of his brocade clothes, which made people look up to him.

Xia Chixiao calmed down.

He was very sad, but he felt in his heart that this was not the truth. Even in such a chaotic time, when he saw this group of people, he still let his thoughts return.

He stopped his horse and clasped his fists on it: "His Royal Highness, King Qi!"

The person at the head was none other than King Qi. The two people next to King Qi were his companions. One was Kong Changan, the son of the Minister of War, and the other was Yang Chengtian, the eldest son of Wenxuanhou Mansion. The other dozen riders were all nobles from the capital. Young Master, some of you know me, some of you don’t.

King Shang Jianye of Qi said with a gentle smile: "It turns out to be cousin Xia. Did you leave the city so early?"

Xia Chixiao said: "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, come out and practice!"

Shang Jianye smiled and invited warmly: "We are about to go hunting, shall we come with cousin Xia?"

Xia Chixiao declined politely: "I'm not going, I still have some things to deal with!"

Kong Changan smiled and said: "Farewell, Xia Chixiao, you are a military general, second grade. We are just trying to see your skills. It's better to be early than to be lucky. We have already met. It will be bad if you refuse any more." !" How could Xia Chixiao be interested in hunting at this time?

His heart was almost desolate. The feeling of discomfort and depression was difficult to describe in words.He just wanted to go back quickly, find a quiet place, heal his wounds in his own world for a while, and then think about the next step.

Shang Jianye didn't say anything, but Yang Chengtian was unhappy: "Xia Chixiao, I heard that everyone invited you to have a party before, and you always accepted everyone who came. Why did you refuse His Highness King Qi's invitation? Could it be in your heart? There is no His Highness King Qi, right?"

Such an obvious attempt to sow discord made Xia Chixiao frown. He raised his eyes with a cold gaze: "Have I ever offended you?"

Yang Chengtian was startled. Of course Xia Chixiao had not offended him. However, when they were still relying on the shadow of their family and had not made any achievements, Xia Chixiao was already a second-rank general personally appointed by the emperor. He also said that he was young and promising and was the capital of the capital. A role model for young people, this offended a large number of officials and officials like them!
However, although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, Xia Chixiao glanced at him like this, especially when he came into contact with those blood-red eyes, his back suddenly felt cold. This look was too scary.

He subconsciously said: "No!"

Xia Chixiao said calmly: "Then why do you confuse right and wrong? His Highness King Qi and I are cousins. What do you intend to do by deliberately instigating our relationship?"

Yang Chengtian's face turned pale and blue, especially when he secretly glanced at King Qi, he also saw King Qi's disapproving look. Is this Xia Chixiao stupid?
Their children in the capital speak in terms of what they can express but not what they can express. Who would speak so straightforwardly?
If he talks so eccentrically, wouldn't the correct way to open it up be to respond in the same way?

Who would be so tough?

Shang Jianye's tone was gentle, without any blame, and said: "Narita, what you said is indeed inappropriate. The jokes between young people should not be excessive. You should apologize to Chi Xiao!"

Yang Chengtian was very unwilling and unwilling, but when King Qi spoke, he could only reluctantly cup his hands and said: "I was just joking. I just wanted Brother Xia to hunt with us, and I wanted to inspire the general." The provocative general used the wrong method, Brother Xia, don’t blame me!”

Xia Chixiao raised his hand to Chu Chengye again and said, "Your Highness, I am really busy today, so please don't blame me if I can't accompany you!"

Shang Jianye said calmly and honestly: "Since my cousin has something to do, go and do it. By the way, I have a gift for you, and I will look for you when I return to the city!"

Shang Jianye left with everyone, and Xia Chixiao returned to the city.

The two parties passed each other, and after walking far away, Shang Jianye said with a smile: "Narita, my cousin is a bit cold-tempered, but he has not been in the capital since he was a child, and he is not familiar with everyone. Please be more understanding! "

Yang Chengtian felt very worried after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we will not be the same as him!"

Many people laughed and said nothing.

He has not been in the capital since he was a child. Because he was raised in the countryside, he has not learned the etiquette and self-cultivation of the capital. He has a cold and hard temper, which is unsociable!

Therefore, although he is now a second-rank official, he knows nothing, and with his temperament, if he wants to gain a foothold in the capital, it depends on whether they are willing or not!

At this time, everyone's mood improved. The group of people chatted and laughed, rode their horses and whipped their whips, and went hunting in Beishan.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion is very lively at the moment. A garden party is being held here, and there are people playing in the pavilion over there.

The Duke of Wei's mansion is a long-established family with a long history and profound heritage. Duke Wei gave birth to seven sons, and now only the eldest son has a legitimate grandson.

This garden party was hosted by Tan Simu, the fifth son of Duke Wei, and his wife. Tan Simu was only 22 years old and newly married, so the people invited were not limited to young and unmarried men and women, but mainly noble ladies.

They are also willing to bring their daughters to participate, so that they can become familiar with the ladies, which will facilitate future marriages.
