"Dad, please tell me, brother-in-law, why can't he think about it and want to go to sea to take risks?"
Tang Shujing looked worried and suspicious, and took a small step forward again. If her father didn't answer, she would really grab her father's shoulders and shake her violently.
Tang Ju came back to his senses leisurely.
He looked up.
There was a wry smile in my heart.
Tang Ju, Tang Ju, you are already quite old, but you are still "competing" with your son-in-law for favor. You are not ashamed... After Tang Ju smiled bitterly for a while, his face straightened, he looked at his unfilial daughter and said:
"The main reason why your brother-in-law took the risk and went to sea was to eradicate Nalanxiong, the remnant of the Liao Kingdom!"
"Nalanxiong? The son of King Nantu?"
"Yes, that's the person."
"Nalanxiong deserves to die. The father and his son once plotted evil against me, Daliang. Fortunately, my brother-in-law went north to save the day. Otherwise...the consequences would be disastrous."
"But……"
On Tang Shujing's fair face, the suspicion not only did not disappear, but became more intense:
"What does Nalanxiong's life and death have to do with my brother-in-law? Since he is a remnant of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom should send people to eradicate him, rather than my brother-in-law taking risks."
Tang Ju looked solemn and replied:
"That's because your brother-in-law has a personal grudge against Nalanxiong. Your brother-in-law has sworn that no matter where Nalanxiong escapes, he will catch and eradicate him!"
"It's just the little things."
"Looking at the bigger picture, Nalanxiong's survival in the world will always be a threat to the Liao Kingdom. If Nalanxiong suddenly emerges overseas..."
"It's not just the Liao Kingdom that's threatened, we, Daliang, are not immune either! Now, Daliang and the Liao Kingdom are brother countries, and if one loses, both will suffer!"
"In addition, the Xianxiu is not the only one who is contributing to the voyage this time. The Liao Kingdom will also send people."
"..."
After hearing these words, Tang Shujing had nothing to say for a moment.
She is in the Yamen and is very familiar with the affairs of the court.
What Tang Ju said does make sense.
If she were in Su Xian's position, she would also resolutely go to sea...
However, going to sea is really dangerous!
Tang Shujing's beautiful eyebrows gradually tightened, and she felt very worried. At the same time, she also understood why her father asked her to protect Su Xian.
Suddenly, her bright eyes moved, as if she remembered something.
He looked at Tang Ju with a relaxed look on his face, and with a smile in his eyes, he said:
"Dad, you are fooling me again. There is no such thing as Nalanxiong. Nalanxiong has already died in the rebellion. Dad, you can't deceive me with your words."
Tang Ju was a little stunned: "Why, you still don't believe it?"
Tang Shujing smiled and said:
"Of course I don't believe it. Not only does my sister not know about such a big thing, but even the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty don't know anything about it. This is impossible! Then... there is only one truth."
Her bright eyes flickered and she stared at her father with a proud expression that said "I have seen through you": "Dad, you are lying! You teamed up with that person to bully others!"
Tang Ju was stunned for a while: "The good son-in-law didn't make this matter public because he had a last resort!"
"What reason?" Tang Shujing didn't believe it at all.
Tang Ju said calmly:
"The good son-in-law is afraid that Wan'er, the Queen, and the civil and military officials of the court will worry about him! My father is well aware of the dangers of going to sea, so he asked you to go with your brother-in-law."
"Also, have you forgotten that my father asked you to swear an oath just now?"
"About the matter of going to sea, the good husband-in-law did not dare to tell anyone. He only told his father alone."
"What the good son-in-law is afraid of is that if... he really encounters danger while going to sea and cannot return home, it would be better to let your sister and Your Majesty know where he went."
"For the sake of the justice of the court, my father promised your brother-in-law not to disclose any details of this matter to the public..."
"However, after thinking about it as a father, I still feel that I should tell you about this and send you to protect your brother-in-law. After all, more people mean more opportunities."
"By the way, you just swore a poisonous oath. You must not leak this matter, otherwise your sister will be worried."
"..."
After hearing this, Tang Shujing took a deep breath.
The relaxation on his face and the proud look in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
Her lips trembled and her voice trembled slightly: "So, dad, you didn't lie to me? Brother-in-law...is he really going to go out to sea for adventure?"
"Is being a father so boring that he would just make up lies to deceive you?" Tang Ju said seriously.
"Brother-in-law, he..."
Tang Shujing didn't know what to say for a moment.
From a personal emotional point of view, she does not want Su Xian to take risks at sea.
But from the perspective of the court and the world, she supported Su Xian's decision.
This made her very confused and confused. She stood there in a daze, pursed her lips...
"Now, you know all this too."
Tang Ju raised his eyes and looked at the unfilial daughter: "As a father, I want you to protect your brother-in-law. It is too dangerous to go to sea. One more person will give you more strength!"
When Tang Shujing heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at her father. She neither refused nor agreed.
Tang Ju added: "Jing'er, don't you like your brother-in-law very much? Why are you so hesitant? This is not like your style!"
"You are the one who likes my brother-in-law!"
Tang Ju's casual words were like a sharp embroidery needle pricking directly into Tang Shujing's heart.
It made her whole delicate body tremble slightly.
"Brother-in-law is protected by Miss Yang, so I forced myself in... It can only be a drag!"
There was no way she could stay in this place. After saying these words, she turned around and ran away.
She wanted to be alone.
"Nvxia Yang, I know... Hey, Jing'er, why did you leave just as you said? Stop! My father has something to say, so stop!"
Tang Ju stood up.
Tang Shujing had already run to the door and grabbed the door with both hands, ready to open the door at any time. But after hearing this, she stopped and looked back at her father.
Her father's serious tone and serious expression shocked her, thinking that her father really had something important to say to her, right?
"Tell me, Dad, what else is important?" She put down her hand holding the door.
"There is indeed one more important thing..."
Tang Ju's majestic expression lasted for less than a breath, and then he changed into a bright smile, which seemed to have a hint of flattery. His upright figure was also a bit shorter. He looked at the unfilial daughter and smiled:
"Um... Jing'er, do you have any money with you? Your mother has been losing a lot at cards recently, and her father's pocket money is nowhere to be found..."
Tang Shujing was stunned.
He stared at his father blankly.
Shock, astonishment, confusion... finally turned into anger.
She felt like she was being fooled!
After a long time, she opened the door with one hand, stepped forward, and walked out. It was not until she was far away that her voice came: "There is no daughter either!"
"you……"
Tang Ju's face looked very ugly. He got up and chased her out. When he saw the unfilial daughter walking away, he jumped up and cursed in anger: "She is indeed an unfilial daughter. She doesn't even know she feels sorry for your father!"
