Compared with other mansions, the Rongguo Palace is not gorgeous or grand, and even looks a bit old and shabby.
But still no one dares to look down upon this century-old mansion, or even think of it. Just like Changsun Bi has left the court for sixteen years, no matter who mentions Rong Guogong, his expression will definitely become awe-inspiring.
The reason why Changsun Bi is respected by others is not because of his family background and identity, but because of his merits.
Being able to go through thirty-two battles, large and small, without losing a single one, expanded Daqian's territory by one-third. This feat alone is enough to make people awe-inspiring.
What's more important is his character. Even Changsun Bi's enemies are sincerely convinced by him.
Two of the three current generals in Daqian were once his subordinates, including Su Nian.
Su Nian lamented in front of Su Zhou many times: "Without General Changsun, there would be no Su Nian today."
Changsun Bi, dressed in gray, sat quietly on the stone bench, watching the sparkling water ripples shatter the moon in the pond.
He was not tall in stature, nor did he look majestic, but in the eyes of Changsun Liang, he was as big as a mountain.
After a long time, the silent Dashan finally spoke: "Is it your father's or yours to visit the Second Young Master of the Su Mansion?"
The eldest grandson Liang immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully: "It's my grandson's wish."
"Why?"
"I heard that Su Shi is a very interesting person, and my grandson wants to get to know him."
Changsun Bi said calmly: "My grandson can be impressed by this. I guess this Mr. Su is quite talented, which makes me a little curious, but why didn't you go today?"
The eldest grandson Liang sighed and said: "Early this morning, Su Shi was ordered by the emperor to spend three months behind closed doors, so the matter can only be settled."
Changsun Bi asked calmly: "Why did the emperor decree that Mr. Su should shut himself up and think about his mistakes?"
"I think it has something to do with these rumors."
"The rumor that Mr. Su met an immortal?"
Changsun Liang looked slightly surprised: "It turns out that grandpa can also hear it."
"I don't want to hear what's going on outside the window, but even though I am old, my ears can still hear clearly, and my eyes are not yet dim."
The eldest grandson Liang hurriedly smiled and said: "Although grandpa is already in his seventies, his hearing and eyesight are better than before."
Changsun Bi was unmoved and just said calmly: "That's why I know that when you visited Su, it wasn't just because he was an interesting person."
Changsun Liang's expression changed slightly, and then he forced out a smile.
"What does grandpa mean by this? My grandson doesn't understand."
Changsun Bi did not answer him, but just looked at the water in front of him. At this time, the water waves have calmed down, and the water in the pool is like a bright mirror.
Changsun Bi's expression was as calm as the pond water at this time: "Although Su Shi is young, it is not easy to impress him. If there is no bargaining chip to make his heart beat, grandson's visit this time will be just a waste of effort."
Changsun Liang was moved in his heart and asked quickly, "I wonder how I can make Su Shi's heart move?"
"Su Shi's temperament has changed so much. If you can find out the reason for his change, you might be able to find a bargaining chip to impress him."
Changsun Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone who has heard Su Shi's name is amazed by his transformation. Who doesn't want to find out the reason, but to this day, they can't find any reason to explain it. So Su Shi met As soon as the rumors about immortals spread, 70% to 80% believed them."
"Does my grandson believe it?"
Changsun Liang suddenly became silent, and after a long time he slowly said: "I didn't believe it at first, but other than that, I really can't explain what happened to Su Shi."
Changsun Bi suddenly said: "Is there another possibility?"
Changsun Liang nodded slowly: "The most reasonable explanation is that Su Shihe is an extraordinary talent, but for some reason he had to choose to endure it and pretend to be a playboy. Your Majesty must have thought of this possibility. , so he became suspicious and put Su Shi under house arrest."
Then he sighed: "But this explanation is also the most unreasonable."
"Why?"
"Because I can't find any reason to explain why Su Shi hides that he is a genius, and it is even more difficult to explain why he can no longer bear it anymore."
Changsun Bi seemed to suddenly think of something. His originally calm expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became deep. However, his back was always turned to Changsun Liang, and Changsun Liang was also confused at this time, because he did not Discovered something unusual about Chang Sun Bi.
Although Zuo Zongyuan was trying to keep himself calm, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
Zuo Xiangting was writing. When he finished a piece of writing, he admired it carefully and finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Congratulations to my father, today this word is like a mirror, and it can be a family heirloom."
However, the smile on Zuo Xiangting's face gradually disappeared, and even showed a hint of disappointment.
Zuo Zongyuan was a little puzzled: "This calligraphy has reached the level of perfection, why is my father still not satisfied?"
Zuo Xiangting sighed and said: "I am not dissatisfied, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to surpass this calligraphy in the future and I will be disappointed."
After finishing speaking, he slowly put down his pen and his expression became a little lonely.
Zuo Zongyuan hurriedly stepped forward and carefully put the words away, then changed a cup of hot tea for Zuo Xiangting, and then said: "Now that Su Shi has lost his Sacred Heart and is under house arrest, then King Qi and King Zhao will definitely meet There’s a big fight at Qianqiu Company, do we need to do anything?”
Zuo Xiangting shook his head: "We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger." At this point, he paused and then said: "We have no choice but to deal with Su Shi this time, and we can't leave anyone with any clues."
Zuo Zongyuan nodded hurriedly: "Father, please don't worry, all the children have been taken care of, and no one will doubt it."
But then he became a little hesitant: "But the child has also discovered some abnormalities in the past few days."
Zuo Xiangting frowned slightly: "What's so unusual?"
"In addition to us, there are at least three groups of people who are also spreading this rumor. What's more, there are still people who are adding fuel to the flames, so this rumor has spread throughout the streets in just three days."
Zuo Xiangting thought for a while and said slowly: "The King of Qi and the King of Zhao are not mediocre, and they have many resourceful people under their command. Moreover, they are now at odds with Su Shi, so even if they do not spread rumors, they will definitely add fuel to the flames. .”
Zuo Zongyuan nodded slightly, but the doubts on his face remained: "In addition to King Qi and King Zhao, I always feel that there seems to be a mysterious force also targeting Su Shi, but I can't catch its head and tail. "
After hearing Zuo Zongyuan's words, Zuo Xiangting fell into deep thought. He always felt that there was something abnormal about this matter, but he couldn't find the abnormality for a while.
