Wishful Things

"Why?"

Sui Shan smiled wryly, "Sui Jiang, don't you really understand? Or do you just want to stay in Dingnan Palace for the rest of your life, living such a life of being inferior to others? But I don't want to, I want to To be free, so for me it was a good time to get away..."

Hearing this, Sui Jiang tightened his grip on the sword.

After a while, he said firmly, "No, you're lying!"

He turned his sword slightly, pointed at the long knife on the ground beside him, and said: "This is your knife, I picked it up for you last night! I also have the same long knife, and this knife is a gift from you!  … If you really hate the days of staying in Dingnan Palace and working for the young master as you said, why do you always carry this knife that may reveal your identity close to your body!"

The young master has always treated them well!

Back then when the Wu family brought these orphans back, it was doomed that their fate would belong to the Wu family from now on.

Of course, even so, there is no guarantee that everyone thinks the same——

But if Sui Shan had really had a different heart, he would never have been unaware of it after getting along day and night.

Therefore, he still has a sliver of hope, and would rather believe that his good brother in the past was coerced by others!

Suishan turned his head slightly and glanced at the long knife.

"You think too much, I just think it's easy to use, just keep it by your side for self-defense."

Sui Jiang sneered and said, "You don't have to try to fool me, I don't believe a word of what you say."

He is not as smart as Suishan, but that doesn't mean he doesn't even have the ability to tell the truth from the lie.

"If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say."

Sui Shan closed his eyes, and said: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you."

Sui Jiang pursed his lips tightly, but the hand holding the sword trembled almost imperceptibly.

After a while, he withdrew his sword.

"Don't think that I don't have the heart to kill you. It's just that you have a life, so I must ask the truth. Since you are asking for trouble, don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship."

While Sui Jiang was speaking, he ordered the two hidden guards behind him: "Take him to the secret room!"

...

It was afternoon, in Dingnan Prince's Mansion, when Wu Chao was about to go out, he suddenly heard a servant say: "Young master, the prince just sent someone to send a message, saying that he is asking you to come over."

Grandpa looking for him?

Wu Chao didn't know what he thought of, his eyes moved slightly, he nodded and said, "I see."

After straightening his clothes, he took the cloak from A Yuan, and the young man strode out to King Dingnan's residence.

"Grandfather, you are looking for me."

Even with the door closed, Wu Chao looked at the old man sitting behind the desk in the still spacious and bright study.

This old man with gray hair at the temples, tall and thin, but still straight back is his grandfather, Dingnan King Wu Jun.

"Sit and talk." The old man's voice was serious, but his tone at this time could be called calm.

Wu Chao answered "Yes" and sat down in the chair beside him.

There was no servant in the study, but the hot tea on the small table by his hand was ready, and at this moment, there was a trace of steam on the Linglong tea bowl.

"I heard that you didn't return home last night?" Wu Jun asked.

"Yes." Wu Chao had expected this question on the road, and now he answered calmly, "Grandson went out of town to do some business."

He has been dealing with the affairs of the family for several years, since he passed the trial of his grandfather, now he is doing things that the Lord wants to do, and his grandfather hardly asks anything.

Of course, what he did last night was not a clan affair.

But right now he doesn't plan to discuss it with his grandfather in detail—it won't be too late to bring it up after he has a conclusion.

Wu Jun didn't ask any further questions, just nodded when he heard the words, and said, "The reason why I asked you to come here today is because I have a few things to ask you to do."

While speaking, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from under the scroll beside him and pushed it forward.

Wu Chao stepped forward to take it, and unfolded it for a look.

There are three things on it, although they are not big things, they are extremely important, and they can be called urgent, and they need to be taken care of as soon as possible——

Was it just a coincidence that his grandfather chose to entrust him with these things at this time?

There was a slight turmoil in the young man's heart, but his face remained calm: "Don't worry, grandfather, grandson will definitely get it done soon."

After finishing speaking, he put the paper in his sleeve, but did not leave, but took a few steps back, slightly lowered his head and said: "The grandson suddenly thought that there is something that I want to ask my grandfather recently."

"What is it?"

"I don't know if the grandson was assassinated on the way to Beijing before, but now there is any progress?"

"The other party has done this matter very carefully and cleanly, and there is no progress worth mentioning now." Wu Jun looked at his grandson and said calmly: "The family will continue to investigate this matter, and if we have news, we will never hide it from you. "

A Yuan has been stubborn since he was a child. Once he is obsessed with something, he will never give up until it is accomplished—this is a good thing, but it is not all good.

Wu Chao heard the words and didn't ask any more questions.

But the guess in his heart was faintly confirmed again.

Grandfather still didn't want him to intervene in this matter—just like when this matter first happened, father didn't want him to investigate more, and found many excuses to stop him.

But he couldn't do nothing while knowing that something was wrong.

Grandfather must also know his temperament, so he suddenly confessed these things to him after he didn't return all night-this is a hindrance and a reminder.

Naturally, he had to fulfill his grandfather's confession, which was his responsibility as the grandson of the Wu family.

However, what he wanted to investigate must also be investigated.

"If there is nothing else, let's go back." Wu Jun said while holding up the tea bowl.

"Yes, my grandson will leave."

The boy retreated to the door, but stopped suddenly.

"What? Is there anything else you want to say?" Wu Jun looked up at his grandson.

The boy took two steps back: "Actually, there is one more thing my grandson wants to ask my grandfather..."

He is not a person who has to delay again and again when he has an idea in his heart, especially after last night, he has become more and more aware of his own mind——

Wu Jun looked at him and motioned for him to ask.

"Over the years, the reason why my grandfather and Duke Zhen have been at odds, I don't know what is the reason? Is it really as incompatible as it seems?" There was a trace of cautious temptation hidden in the serious expression of the young man.

As soon as he asked this sentence, he saw his grandfather's face suddenly darken.

"Well, why mention this old man?"

"..." Wu Chao was silent for a moment.

The grandfather who can make his family's emotions change in an instant, and can curse the word "old man", shows that this discord is real.

Thinking back to when Lord Zhen Guo called his grandfather "that old guy" when he didn't know his identity, it can't help but make people feel that this relationship is quite equal...

Under such circumstances, Wu Chao couldn't help but suddenly thought of a piece of rumor that he had heard by chance, which was considered absurd to his grandfather——
