Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Xiuqi widened his eyes, looking at the slovenly man in front of him in disbelief - it was his father Xiao Chenyi, who always paid attention to his image, was elegant and handsome?

For a moment, he was so frightened that he almost cried out, but in the end he suppressed his inner panic and quickly turned over in bed.

He grabbed his father's sleeve and asked in panic, "Dad, did something big happen?"

He was extremely anxious at this moment, because in his impression his father was always well-dressed and dignified. How could he have ever looked so haggard and weathered?

Xiuqi's heart was like a tangled mess, and he was instantly overwhelmed by endless panic.

It was as if a string of firecrackers was lit in his mind, and one horrifying thought after another flashed through his mind.

Could it be... Could it be that something really happened to my mother?

When he thought of this possibility, Xiuqi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

However, besides the mother, there are two younger brothers and sisters. Will they encounter any unexpected dangers?

The more Xiuqi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his forehead was unknowingly covered with fine beads of sweat.

Or maybe, something happened to Mi Bao, who was far away in Shu? She was alone in a foreign land, with no one to rely on. If she really ran into trouble, what should she do?

Thinking of this, Xiuqi felt as if his heart was being burned on fire. The deep uneasiness and anxiety almost suffocated him.

Xiuqi was extremely nervous at the moment. His lips were shaking uncontrollably, and even his voice was shaking uncontrollably. "Father, I am unfilial! It has been so many days since my mother gave birth to my brother and sister, and I have never been able to visit her. I will arrange my itinerary and go to visit them right away..."

"No hurry." Xiao Chenyi's words, as calm as the water in a deep pool, slowly emerged from his face full of thick beard that was as thick as weeds.

Xiu Qi was stunned when he heard this. He stared at the bearded man in front of him with wide eyes, muttering to himself: Not anxious? But look at your face, how can you not look anxious at all?

Before Xiuqi could come to his senses, Xiao Chenyi immediately spoke up: "From now on, you must go to court every day."

Hearing this, Xiuqi suddenly became even more nervous, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was full of doubts, thinking: What is going on? Why would they suddenly ask me to go to court? I still have a lot of books to read! Moreover, my father must be hiding something from me by doing this! No, I must find out the reason.

Xiuqi walked quickly to sit opposite his father, staring into his father's deep and majestic eyes, and said solemnly: "Father, Xiu'er has grown up now, and his mind has gradually matured. No matter what happens, I beg you to tell me without reservation. As your son, I have the responsibility and ability to help you solve your problems!"

Xiao Chenyi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he heard his son's sincere words. He nodded slightly and said lovingly, "Okay! Father knows that you have always been a filial, sensible and kind-hearted child! That's why I'm relieved to let you participate in government affairs!"

Xiuqi looked at the person in front of him with suspicion, opened his mouth, but in the end only uttered a string of ellipsis.

Father, what you just said has absolutely nothing to do with how you are right now!

If I didn't pay attention to my father's face, I might really think that my father sincerely hoped that I could go to the court as soon as possible to undergo some trials.

However, when one's eyes fell upon the father's disheveled, bearded face, one could immediately tell that things were anything but simple.

My father looked as if he had encountered a catastrophic change. He looked extremely haggard and even his mental state was terrible.

Faced with such a situation, it was hard to believe that everything was normal on my father's side and nothing unusual had happened.

Maybe, my father didn't want me to be sad? Or maybe, my father had something difficult to say?

That's all! In that case, then just go to court honestly. After all, it's not easy to quickly integrate into the complex and ever-changing court affairs, but you have to try anyway. You should naturally contribute as much as you can and do your best to assist everyone in handling government affairs.

When the difficult problem my father faced is successfully solved, I am sure he will tell me the reason.

Of course, by that time, whether I know it or not may no longer be so important.

Because for him, as long as his father can successfully get out of his current predicament!

If he could see through his father's troubles, there is no doubt that he would lend a helping hand without hesitation.

And the court is undoubtedly the best place to help my father overcome difficulties!

Thinking of this, Xiuqi had already made a decision in his heart.

He nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will go to court on time starting tomorrow."

Xiao Chenyi looked at his son with a smile on his face. Although his son still had a childish look, he had already begun to show his heroic spirit. His eyes were full of pride and satisfaction.

He stretched out his broad, warm palm and gently patted his son's strong shoulder, as if to convey all his trust and expectations to him.

Looking back over the years, this child has always been so sensible and well-behaved, and has never caused his father too much worry and trouble. Whether it is academics, interpersonal relationships, or handling various complex and difficult matters, he can always do it in an orderly and easy manner.

This innate self-discipline and extraordinary talent are truly amazing.

Xiao Chenyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This boy will become a great man in the future, and will definitely accomplish a great feat that will shake the world! In comparison, although he has achieved some success, he is still not as outstanding as his son!

It should be a clear decision to hand over the court to his son as soon as possible!

Such a good boy, he is his son!

Xiao Chenyi showed a proud smile on his face and said slowly: "Father has prepared a capable helper for you in advance."

After that, he began to introduce the ministers he had carefully arranged to his son Xiuqi one by one, and explained to him in detail each person's areas of expertise and the role they could play.

Xiuqi sat there with a solemn expression, leaning forward slightly, his ears erect, as if afraid of missing a word. His eyes, which were originally as calm as water, seemed to be surging with raging waves. An indescribable uneasiness and fear gradually enveloped his heart.
