[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Xi Xiaolang finished the performance with all his heart, and was about to adjust his expression again, showing a bit of grief and indignation, when he heard Zheng Ping's calm and ironic question.

After all, he was just a young man who hadn't reached the championship yet. He could do impulsive things when his head was hot, and his mind was not very serious.Hearing Zheng Ping's words at this moment, he panicked for no reason, and subconsciously wanted to look at his father for help, but was glared at by Xi Xi, and quickly looked away.

Xi Xi's mood at the moment is not much better than Xi Xiaolang's.He has long discovered that today's "Mi Heng" is very different from the past.The traps that were laid out earlier did not apply to him at all.

He knew that most of today's plans might fail, but at least—even if the goal of framing could not be successfully achieved, the opponent would not be able to turn his back on the general and cause trouble all over.

Because he knew that his son was not very rich in the city and couldn't deal with the complicated situation, Xi Ji just gave his son a glare, telling him not to show timidity and make trouble, then turned to Zheng Ping and said, "It's really interesting. Dare I ask you, a scholar, where is the loophole in what you said? ?”

Kong Rong has been paying attention to the performance of the father and son, and naturally discovered the brief eye contact between the two.

He said in a low voice, "I remember just now Xi Shizhong said: If you were to explain it, it would be mixed with too much partiality. Since Xi Shizhong had such thoughts, why did he interrupt halfway to express your partiality? Xi Xiaolang He will be crowned in two more years. He is not an ignorant child. He and Zheng Fang just started to confront each other. Before he said anything, you answered for him. You don’t know whether the person who fell into the water today is Xiao Lang or the servant? Or— His actions, words and deeds, all come from your instructions?"

Kong Rong was also very angry, his words were sharp, and he didn't even want to maintain his superficial skills.

Standing beside the case, Cao Pi didn't speak, his quiet black eyes seemed to know everything.

Forced by Cao Pi's presence, no matter how annoyed Xi Ji was, he knew that it was not appropriate for him to stand up for his son in this situation, so he only retaliated to Kong Rong with a soft knife, and stood aside with his sleeves tied, without speaking again.

Xi Xiaolang was already flustered by Zheng Ping's overconfident and calm attitude, and he had ghosts in his heart, so he couldn't help feeling guilty.Even with his father's invisible support to calm him down a little, he still couldn't resist the uneasiness in his heart.

"What flaw?"

He repeatedly recalled what his father told him before.

After all, it was a temporary game, and there could be no flaws. Regarding the possible doubts raised by the other party, my father had discussed with him, and he had already thought of an excuse.

Xi Xiaolang just waited for Zheng Ping to use "screaming" or "the whereabouts of the magpie" to explain things. Even if the angle was more tricky, he questioned whether he did not slow down when approaching, or that there were problems with his movements, positions, and forward posture when he was tripped. The perfect excuse to lie to yourself.

Thinking of this, he seemed to have taken a reassurance, just waiting for Zheng Ping to ask.

But I heard Zheng Ping say this: "About shouting and Gan Que..."

Xi Xiaolang lifted his spirits, tried his best to restrain the corners of his lips from rising, and was ready to answer.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence changed sharply.

"—I won't ask questions like this."

The unexpected follow-up made Xi Xiaolang stunned suddenly, and the masseter muscles on both cheeks stiffened unconsciously.

He suddenly felt an indescribable panic.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xi Shizhong was about to warn him, when he unexpectedly received Cao Pi's warning gaze.

It was just a casual glance of the 12-year-old boy, but it made his back covered with cold sweat.

After only such a moment of hesitation, Zheng Ping has already questioned word by word and categorically:

"Mr. Xi Lang said just now that you entered through the Moon Gate and saw a dry magpie crouching by the lake?"

"There is only one moon gate by the lake, and both sides of the stone path are covered with lush periwinkle flowers. In the direction from the moon gate to the lake shore, hibiscus and reed bamboo are interlaced."

"Mr. Xi Lang walked out of the Moon Gate, and indeed he could see me at a glance."

"However, at the position where Mr. Yixi Lang is, how can he pass through the luxuriant vegetation and clearly see a dry magpie by the lake? Even know whether its wing feathers are injured?"

As if hit by a heavy hammer, Xi Xiaolang's face turned pale visibly to the naked eye.

He opened his mouth like a fish deprived of oxygen, unable to make a sound for a long time.

Zheng Ping saw that his gaze was drifting in a certain direction at a loss, and immediately moved his steps, blocking his tall figure between him and Xi Shizhong, preventing their eyes from meeting.

Facing Xi Xiaolang's increasingly panicked eyes, Zheng Ping suddenly lowered his face, and shouted coldly:

"Heng didn't know when he offended Mr. Xi Lang, and made Mr. Xi Lang want to bump me into the lake. The murder failed, but he made another plan, confounding right and wrong, accusing me of crimes, and trying to kill me?"

"I didn't...it wasn't me..." Xi Xiaolang immediately denied it.But he only had these two sentences over and over again, and asked him "why not", "how to explain Mi Heng's question just now", he couldn't even utter a half sentence of defense.

In this situation, even the ignorant servants in the room realized something, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.

Xi Xi's complexion changed several times.Seeing that his son was hesitating and hesitating, he was already "not calling himself", he quickly turned a few thoughts, rushed to the side of the couch, and slapped him:

"Nizi, you slipped and fell into the water, why are you grabbing others!"

This pre-emptive strike is to deny "deliberately pushing Miheng into the water and slandering back", and only convicting him of "accidentally falling into the water, but pushing the fault to Niheng".

If Xi Xiaolang had been smarter, sold himself miserably, and said that he was wrong, he might be able to wash himself clean, leaving only the name of "reckless and impulsive".

Zheng Ping was too lazy to perform with them.Neither Cao Cao nor Cao Pi are fools. Based on Xi Xiaolang's performance just now, no amount of remedial work is useless.

Therefore, he didn't look at the father and son of Xi's family, moved to Kong Rong's side gently, and said with a half-smile: "Xi Shizhong, 'preferred to his son'?"

This sentence is exactly the reason the guards used when they invited "Ni Heng" back to the Sikong mansion, and it was said by Xi Xi himself.

Combined with the slap that Xi Xi gave his son just now, the irony is not strong.

Kong Rong knew his friend's narrowness, saw that Xi Ji's hand was slightly stiff in the air, he couldn't help laughing, pretending to be serious and said: "Some people prefer their sons more than life; some people prefer their sons, but they love themselves more. "

With a straight face all the time, the young and mature Cao Pi showed a bit of a smile, like a pool of autumn water falling into a stone, causing fleeting ripples.

Xixi has always been a city mansion, and soon returned to normal.Despite being slapped in the face like this, he still pretended not to know it cheekily, and pressed Xi Xiaolang to apologize to Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping grasped the scale, lightly used his bloodless curse skills to anger the Xi family father and son, and left with Kong Rong.

After this battle, Cao Pi became a little more indifferent to Xi Ji and his son, and after only saying a few words on the scene, he left in a huff and went to Cao Cao's place.

He Yan didn't want to get into trouble at this time, and after Cao Pi left, he also ran away with his attendants, as if there was some invisible dirty thing in the room.

When only Chi Chi and his son were left in the room, Xi Xiaolang covered his reddened face and looked at Chi Chi in horror: "Ah, Father..."

"Idiot." When Xi Ji saw his appearance, he couldn't get angry, "You Heng is clearly deceiving you, but you were so fooled by him, and you are so stupid!"

Xi Xiaolang, who is in the middle of nowhere, was stunned when he heard the words: "What, what... cheated on me?"

"You don't need your elm head to think about it—although there are many plants and trees in the direction from the Moon Gate to the lake, the plants are not city walls, but small and scattered. You Heng has never been to the Moon Gate, so how can you be sure? Your location must be covered by vegetation, so you can't see the grass by the lake?"

To put it bluntly, there is indeed a lot of grass beside the Moon Gate and by the lake, but the ornamental vegetation is not a dense wheat field. According to Xi Xiaolang's confession, he may not be able to see whether the other side's lakeside grass is lying or not when he sees "Mi Heng". Although there is a bird the size of an egg, there is also the possibility of "seeing".

Wanting to understand the key, Xi Xiaolang couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed.

When he saw "Mi Heng" at the Moon Gate, he rushed past without looking carefully, not paying attention to the grass under his feet.

So when the other party pointed out his "flaws", Xi Xiaolang panicked instantly.He remembered that there were indeed many flowers and plants growing on the road next to the Moon Gate and the river, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He racked his brains to explain this "loophole", but he didn't expect that the other party was deceiving him.

Annoyed for a moment, he thought that today he failed to touch porcelain but was dismantled and caused trouble in the Sikong Mansion, regret and fear at once, and stretched out his hand timidly to grab the hem of Xixi's clothes:

"Father, what should I do, Father, help me, Father, help me—"

"Howling, how many times have I taught you 'use your brain first, then do things', 'don't be led away by other people's words', you didn't listen to it at all, you will only cause trouble!" Xi Xi covered Xi Xiaolang's mouth His eyes were as fierce as a falcon, and Xi Xiaolang was so frightened that he stopped, "Who are you as Sikong? If I didn't know his thoughts, how could I go along with the flow and do this for you in Sikong's mansion?"

Seeing the confusion in Xi Xiaolang's eyes, Xi Ji became more annoyed, and stopped explaining to him.After ordering his stupid son to shut up, Xi Xi went to the backyard alone, begging to see Cao Cao.

He sent someone to report, but was blocked back.

Xi Ji's heart sank, he saluted hastily and respectfully towards Cao Cao's courtyard, talked to the servants in the inn, and took his son and left in despair.

In Cao Cao's resting place, Cao Cao, who had put on his normal uniform, knelt and sat on the lower side, flipping through a book on the art of war.

He had been reported to him by his confidants a long time ago, so when Cao Pi came to tell him the result, Cao Cao listened casually, and only after Cao Pi had finished speaking, asked someone to bring a plate of grapes and put it in front of Cao Pi. .

Cao Pi's young and mature face finally became brighter, and he began to peel grapes and eat them.

Cao Cao didn't touch the plate of grapes, and said abruptly, "This Mi Heng is smarter than Gu imagined."
