But Lin Xi still refused to let her have her way. With a slight exertion on her hand, she heard a proud groan.
Xiao Hong's face was full of anger, and her beautiful eyes were filled with grievances.
She has been ticklish since she was a child, and when Lin Xi found out about this, it was more like she had found some fun, pinching her weak spots at every turn.
When Mr. Xiao saw this scene, he called you a thief in his heart. Are you polite? I'm still sitting here!
A slight cough came, and Lin Xi turned his head lazily.
Xiao Hong blushed and took two steps back, trying to distance herself. Unexpectedly, the big devil's hand grabbed her and instantly pulled her back.
Lin Xi held her chin in one hand and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Sir, I can make your wish come true, or you can treat what happened yesterday as if it never happened..."
After saying that, Lin Xi frowned and smiled.
"However, Sir, I wonder if you can show your record of records to this prince?"
When Mr. Xiao heard this, his eyes shrank.
It turns out he wanted that thing.
Thinking about it, the old man's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with tangles.
The so-called record of events was the back-up he left for himself, and it was also the life-saving talisman he left for the Xiao family.
It records not only the embarrassing things of civil and military officials, but also many dirty things.
For example, the governor of which state and county, who bribed whom in what year and month, or whose son committed a serious crime, who engaged in favoritism, corruption and bribery, etc...
After all, the old guy has been a minister of the Ministry of official affairs for a long time, and he knows countless secrets.
He recorded all of this in a book one by one. Although others knew that there was such a thing, no one knew its specific location.
And this was one of the reasons why the Eight Kings tried their best to win over the Xiao family.
On the side, Xiao Hong's white and tender face was full of tangles.
In fact, she had already guessed Lin Xi's purpose, and she also knew that the old man did have such a thing in his hands.
The grandfather and grandson of the Xiao family looked at each other. Xiao Hong pursed her lips and lowered her head, with a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
Lin Xi was not in a hurry when he saw this, and poured a cup of tea slowly, with indifference in his eyes.
Xiao Hong thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and whispered: "Your Highness, if my Xiao family gives that thing to you, can you promise me something?"
Lin Xi frowned when he heard this and said, "Oh? What's the matter? Let's talk about it first?"
Xiao Hong smiled slightly, her chubby little face still a little cute.
"Your Highness, it's actually not a big deal. The little girl just wants to ask His Highness to show mercy and grant a promise to my Xiao family."
"What promise?"
Xiao Hong's beautiful eyes narrowed and her embroidered fists were clenched.
"If my Xiao family suffers a catastrophe one day, please give me a way to survive, Your Highness."
Old man Xiao smiled after hearing this.
Lin Xi frowned and tapped the table with her index finger.
"Okay, I promise you."
With that said, Lin Xi took out a token from her arms.
The black and gold token has the word Beiliang engraved on the front, and a five-clawed black dragon is entrenched on it, lifelike.
There is a silver spear carved on the back, surrounded by two fierce tigers on the sides, with a huge mouth and sharp teeth, which is extremely ferocious.
The moment he saw the token, Old Man Xiao was slightly startled, his eyes filled with desire.
Seeing this, Lin Xi stretched out her hand to push the token forward and said softly: "If one day, your Xiao family faces disaster."
After saying that, Lin Xi raised her head and smiled, her big white teeth flashing with a hint of coldness.
"My prince allows you, the Xiao family, to mobilize ten thousand cavalry with this order to escort your whole family to Beiliang. Anyone who blocks the road can step on it, how about it?"
After finishing his words, Old Man Xiao stood up slowly, waved his sleeves, knelt down and bowed his head.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
…
After a while, the Xiao family's grandfather and grandson stepped out of the door, and their whole bodies seemed to relax several times.
Xiao Hong wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you won't blame your granddaughter for making arbitrary decisions, right?"
Old man Xiao laughed and patted Xiao Hong's shoulder with emotion.
"Silly girl, you made the most correct decision. It's too late for Grandpa to be happy, so how can you blame me?"
As he spoke, Old Man Xiao looked up to the sky and sighed: "If it weren't for you, grandpa might not have been able to make this determination."
After hearing this, Xiao Hong stretched out her hand to help her grandfather walk down the steps.
"Grandpa, granddaughter can understand, after all, it is your life's hard work..."
The old man smiled helplessly after hearing this, and before Xiao Hong finished speaking, he reached out and tapped his granddaughter's forehead.
"You girl, that's all. You don't need to comfort me. I'm not an old fool yet."
"The eight kings are now staring at us. That thing is now a burden. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to abandon it."
"If I can exchange it for Beiliang Yinuo, that would be the best thing..."
Halfway through his words, old man Xiao suddenly coughed twice.
Xiao Hong stretched out her hand and patted it gently, comforting the old man.
"Grandpa, are you okay? I'll call the doctor right now."
Mr. Xiao grabbed Xiao Hong, put his hand on her chest, and said slowly: "No problem, no problem."
"Hong'er, please let the news out now. Just say that I was invited by His Highness the Crown Prince and had a very pleasant conversation."
After hearing this, Xiao Hong's beautiful eyes narrowed and she lowered her head thoughtfully.
"Grandpa, do you have to do this?"
Old man Xiao smiled helplessly.
"Girl, we've already handed over our things, so we can't bear the risk ourselves, right?"
Xiao Hong glanced behind her. The old man laughed when he saw this, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness knows what he is doing, and he won't be punished because of this...ahem..."
Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, helped the old man get into the carriage, and then turned around and left.
…
On the other side, seeing off the Xiao family's grandfather and grandson, Lin Xi finally remembered.
Good guy, how could I forget that girl Xia Xixia?
Before he finished speaking, a roar came from afar.
"Lin Xi, you bastard, why didn't you call me for such a fun thing!"
Hearing the roar, Lin Xi instantly stood on her back.
"Second donkey, come on!"
There was a "pop~" sound.
The bald and stubborn donkey was in pain, and instantly started to flirt wildly, running away screaming with joy.
Xia Xixia watched helplessly as Lin Xi rode away from Juechen, and she was so angry that she felt fierce and brave.
The little girl waved her riding crop fiercely.
"Hmph, you can run in the first grade of junior high school, but can you also run in the fifteenth grade?"
"Auntie, I will one day..."
…
The backyard of Xiao Mansion.
In the wing room, in front of the window sill.
The queen held a book in one hand and a teacup in the other.
If you look carefully, you will see that there are three big characters "Journey to the East" written on the book.
The queen pursed her lips, with a little bit of osmanthus cake residue stuck to her delicate lips. She looked fascinated and never tired of it.
A pair of big, watery eyes that seemed to be able to speak, full of agility, long eyelashes, white jade teeth, slightly raised red lips, half a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the throat, just taste it.
The beautiful girl licked the corner of her mouth and turned another page, her big and smart eyes reflecting the rows of words.
at this time.
A cry of surprise came.
