Chapter 375 Sword Slant

Xiao Junlin pretended to be a businessman and wandered around the capital, and there were places where money wasted and energy was spent everywhere, and the support of King Huainan was definitely behind it—to be precise, King Huainan ordered Xiao Junlin to do these things in all likelihood. .

From this point of view, the King of Huainan was indeed rebellious—then Xiao Junji’s going to the capital at this time was a trick of the Huainan King’s emissary, pretending to tell the old emperor: You see, this king sent all the eldest sons to the capital. Sincerely submit to His Majesty, without the slightest rebellious heart.

But in this way, wouldn't King Huainan put his eldest son Xiao Junji in danger?

But Pei Yi would not ask such words—after all, it was too cruel.

But although she didn't say anything, there was something strange in her expression.

Xiao Junji jokingly said: "Why does Saburo look at me like this—as if I am very pitiful."

Pei Yi secretly thought that she had lost her composure, and felt very embarrassed.

She quickly argued: "I just think that you are in a really difficult situation now, and it is not easy to break the situation, so I am a little worried."

Xiao Junji looked at her directly, and half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "Since Sanlang is so worried about me, he might as well just take me home. From now on, I am a member of the Pei family and a matter of the Xiao family in Jinzhou." But it has nothing to do with me."

Pei Yi laughed dumbfounded, and teased: "When is this, are you still thinking about making such a joke?"

"I'm not joking." Xiao Junji put on a very serious look, and said solemnly, "I am willing to join the Pei family. If I inherit the Xiao family in the future, then the entire Xiao family will be my dowry."

Pei Yi had a sense of irony, and said amusedly, "Where is the truth?"

"Why not?" Xiao Junji's tone was very relaxed, as if he was talking about something ordinary, "Since ancient times, girls have their own dowry when they get married, and I naturally have my own dowry when I marry a man. Anyway, I married You, everything is yours, so naturally whatever you own is a dowry."

Pei Yi was speechless for a long while.

After a while, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah Heng, it's better not to make such a joke. Right now, let's see how to deal with your entry into Beijing."

Xiao Junji glanced at it, and said with a wicked smile: "I've already thought about it, and it all depends on whether you are willing, Saburo."

Pei Yi asked in surprise, "What method?"

Xiao Junji pursed his lips for a smirk, and whispered in her ear.

Pei Yi blushed immediately after hearing this, and immediately refused: "This is impossible!"

Xiao Junji expected that she could not just agree, and his expression was still relaxed, half-affected and half-seriously teasing himself: "I am also really hard-fated. If my father doesn't love me, I can only rely on myself for everything."

"Now that catastrophe is imminent, my father pushed me to take the place of the dead, and I can only lead my neck to kill myself."

"In the next life, I don't want to be a human again, even a pig is good—at least until it is killed, a pig will live a smooth and stable life, eating and sleeping all day long, and there is no one happier than it alive."

Pei Yi felt really pitiful when she heard this, but when she thought of Xiao Junji's suggestion, she felt really ashamed, and she really couldn't respond.

"Aheng, I can help you if I can." Pei Yi said apologetically, "But I really don't agree with the method you are talking about now. Let's take a good look at the matter and we will definitely find it out." other solutions."

Seeing the guilt in her tone, Xiao Junji knew that he still had a chance to persuade her.

He sighed: "Did Sanlang think I didn't think of other ways?"

"If there is another way to go, how can I go the wrong way?"

"Honestly speaking, the way I am doing now, in the final analysis, is hurting myself, and I am the only one who has lost his face—if it is not a last resort, how can I be so self-deprecating?"

Pei Yi thought about it for the same reason.

But she still felt uneasy, and said hesitantly: "This method... may not work, at most it can help you delay for a day or two, and it won't prevent you from going to the capital."

"One step at a time." Xiao Junji's face was full of unresolved sorrow, as if he was extremely confused about the way ahead, "Besides, things may not turn around."

Seeing his worry, Pei Yi comforted her and said, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. You will surely turn the bad luck into good fortune this time."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Junji knew something was going on.

But he was not sure, and his heart was not at ease, so he pretended to hesitate and asked: "Then Saburo...Will you help me this time?"

Pei Yi blushed and said: "Help."

It's a simple word, but when I say it, I feel extremely ashamed, as if it is extremely heavy, and it seems to be wrapped in poison.

Xiao Junji pursed his lips and smiled. Although his expression was pretending to be well-behaved, the brilliance between his eyebrows and eyes still revealed his original intention.

"Thank you, Sanlang~" Xiao Junji smiled sweetly, but the words he said were extremely bitter, "Now that I am helpless, Sanlang is the only one who will take pity on me."

Pei Yi quickly relieved: "Why do you say such things between friends?"

Xiao Junji was puzzled, and thought to himself: Did his confession today come in vain? Why does Saburo keep saying "friend"? Does he really not understand his mind, or is he pretending to be confused?

Pei Yi is just insensitive to the matter of love, but she is not an idiot, how could she still not be able to see through Xiao Junji's thoughts?

The reason why she mentioned such a word "friend" was just to remind Xiao Junji that she is helping him now only out of friendship.

She simply wanted to limit the relationship between the two to the friendship between gentlemen.

Pei Yi didn't intend to hide these thoughts, and her words and deeds were straightforward—for fear that there would be another misunderstanding.

Xiao Junji's mind was clear, and after a brief moment of astonishment, he quickly understood Pei Yi's plan.

How could he make Pei Yi's wishful thinking come true?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Junji soon had his own set of pursuit strategies.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere now, he let out a long sigh and said, "There are some words that I shouldn't have said, but these words weigh on my heart and are really uncomfortable..."

Speaking of this, if Pei Yi is indifferent, then she really has a heart of stone.

She comforted softly: "If you feel uncomfortable, you might as well say it."

Xiao Junji's face was full of sadness, and he continued following the words: "Sanlang, to be honest, I envy you."

"You have a father who loves you, a mother who loves you, and two elder brothers who protect you."

"What about me?" Xiao Junji laughed at himself, and suddenly stopped talking, as if he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't continue.
