The character design collapsed! The general's sick beauty is a killer

Chapter 34 Going with the flow

As soon as Tang Xifu returned to the gate of Earl Xianchang's Mansion and lifted the curtain, Tang You came up to meet her and personally helped her out of the carriage.

He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a warm smile on his lips, and Tang Xi's hand was slightly cold when he held it.

"Why did eldest brother come to pick him up in person?" Tang Xi asked with a smile.

"I have nothing to do today. It's good to go out and walk more." Tang You noticed the redness and swelling on the child's face, "I heard that the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division led troops to the Zuodu Censor's Mansion. What happened?

?”

Tang Xi told him everything that happened today, but omitted the part about her and Jian Chijin.

After hearing the last part, Tang You shook his head and said regretfully: "Second Master Xiao is too impulsive. Taifu Yu only handed him the position of commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division a few days ago. I'm afraid he will give up the position tomorrow."

"What if the Zuodu Censor doesn't impeach him tomorrow? After all, Miss Xiao fell into trouble in the Zuodu Censor's Mansion, and the Zuodu Censor owes the Xiao family a favor." Tang Xi looked at Tang You and blinked.

The two of them walked leisurely on the path back to Xiyu Pavilion. From time to time, branches of various flowers and trees stretched out on the roadside. Tang You cleared them away for her one by one, "How can this matter spread so quickly?

It can be seen that the Censor of Zuodu has made up his mind to impeach him, and besides, from the time when Mr. Chi jumped into the lake and rescued Miss Xiao’s family, the Censor of Zuodu owes the Xiao family nothing.”

Tang You's thinking was very clear. Tang Xi paused and asked tentatively, "Who do you think the eldest brother would recommend Miss Xiao?"

"It's definitely not the recommendation of Miss Tian or Miss Pei. Mrs. Chi took the initiative to take the matter on herself. She seems to be generous, but in fact she is hiding it. I guess it was the recommendation of the ladies of the Chi family, except for Pei Er.

Miss, the other three ladies are all possible." He said calmly, looking down at Tang Xi, "Does Xi'er have anyone in mind?"

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "I guess it was Chi Jinyi, the third lady of the Chi family, who recommended it."

"Oh? Why?" Tang You looked down at her lovingly.

"Because she and Miss Chi Er were the only ones present at the banquet today. I didn't see the other ladies of the Chi family."

Tang Xi said that although she only found out the reason through Jian Chijin, it didn't stop her from finding a very far-fetched reason herself.

Tang You never thought it would be such a simple and crude reason. He smiled and nodded. Thinking about it carefully, Tang Xi was right. Chi Jinyi did have a reason to do this.

"Brother, let's see who did this game today?" Tang Xi asked again.

She vaguely felt that what happened today was not just Chi Jinyi's handiwork, but someone was using Chi Jinyi's hand to achieve their own goals.

"You just said that General Ning Yuan is also in Chi Mansion today?"

"Yes." Tang Xi nodded, not quite sure why he asked.

Tang You pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, "In my opinion, General Ning Yuan and the eldest son of the Chi family worked together to do this."

He slowly explained: "The commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was originally in the hands of General Ning Yuan. Not long ago, General Ning Yuan gave it to Grand Master Yu. As for the reason, it is unknown."

"Although the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is the sixth grade, he can have a panoramic view of all the goings-on in the upper capital city. Now the general remains neutral and will not easily hand over this job to Taifu Yu. Nine times out of ten, Taifu Yu will be in charge.

He used it as a blackmail."

Tang Xi suddenly remembered that day at Zuihua Tower, Jian Chijin didn't know how to persuade Yu Jiuchuan to let her out. Could it be that he used the command of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?

"General Ning Yuan is not someone who just accepts the situation and accepts the situation. In today's situation, he wants to take back control of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Chi Jingwen is a close friend of him, so we will go along with the flow and give him a favor."

Tang Xi admired Jian Chijin's calculations, and was even more surprised by Tang You's ability to strategize and deduce. You must know that he was not at the banquet at the time, but he could analyze the whole thing clearly, as if he had planned it all.

generally.

Tang Xi looked at the winding road ahead and clenched her fingertips unconsciously. Chill spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs. She suddenly questioned whether some of her actions were hidden from Tang You's eyes.

Maybe, he has discovered his true identity.

Tang Xi raised her head and looked at the man walking side by side with her.

It was the first time she discovered that her eldest brother, who was always gentle and smiling, actually had such a sharp jawline.

Tang You looked back at her with soft eyes, "What's wrong?" He was stunned, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No," Tang Xi shook her head in a daze. She couldn't see any hypocrisy in his eyes. If he wasn't pretending too well, or he hadn't noticed it yet, she whispered: "Brother is very smart.

"

Tang You was stunned for a moment, then smiled lowly. This was probably the most straightforward and sincere compliment he had ever heard. He pushed back the hair tie that had fallen in front of her at some point and praised: "Xi'er is also very good.

clever."
