Zhao Feng's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
He told the friend in front of him in a firm tone that could not be questioned: "What you said today, I will just pretend that you have not said it and I have not heard it. When you leave my camp, don't follow me again. The second person mentioned it. This is absolutely impossible!"
The scribe lowered his eyes and said: "We are not here to test your reputation."
Zhao Feng then said: "I never doubted that you were here to find out! Because of this, I was willing to help you hide your thoughts. When did you come up with such an idea? Although the lord does have some criticisms, it is far from this."
He has suffered a lot of frustration in the past two years. As an outsider, he has never been accepted by the Tianhai indigenous faction, but it is an indisputable fact that Wu Xian treats him favorably. Zhao Feng disliked ungrateful people the most in his life, so how could he abandon Wu Xian for this reason? If he could do it, he wouldn't have tried so hard to save Wu Xian back then.
The scribe said: "It has been there a long time ago."
"A long time ago..."
Zhao Feng couldn't help but choked on his words.
I couldn't help but reflect on myself. Could it be that I was too careless and didn't notice the situation of my old friend, so that he became so dissatisfied with the master Wu Xian? Of course, this is also related to the old friend's character. The other party has never concealed the principle of "people go to high places and water flows to low places." If he couldn't see satisfactory value in Wu Xian, he would really give up the job.
Zhao Feng: "Why did my lord displease you?"
But the scribe didn't want to say more and said: "I don't like it."
Zhao Feng: "..."
The scribe knocked on the table with a knife and fan to attract Zhao Feng's attention. , said: "Both you and Gongsu can endure it as long as they can. I hope that the Lord will get better someday and be given trust and reuse. But why should I wait to find someone who can fulfill my promise immediately? Wait, wait, when will the Lord be healed? Are you confused and suspicious?"
Zhao Feng's face suddenly darkened: "You have said that!"
The scribe was not afraid and said calmly: "Even if this is the case, you and Gongsu will only give in again and again. Let, endure it again and again, indulge it again and again, my lord. He is a lord but not a husband, so why should he compromise like a woman? Ordinary women have no way of making a living and are too young to break up with their husbands, so they can only swallow their anger. But why do you and Gong Su do this? "
< br>
The seriousness on Zhao Feng's face couldn't be restrained, and he couldn't help but yell: "You old guy is getting more and more stupid! What kind of person can I be? My lord, he has many shortcomings, but he also has merits. As a minister, you should help your master I am correcting you, instead of just thinking about leaving and getting into trouble all day long."
The scribe said: "My lord, he will not change."
Zhao Feng said angrily. How do you know he won’t change?”
Article Shi Leng snorted: "If I changed it, why would I be so wary of you? Those villains are provoking you so much, do you think the Lord really doesn't know? He knows, and Men'erqing also knows about it, but he just looks at it coldly. You and Shen As soon as you get closer, he I have long been dissatisfied. Isn’t Xu Jie a living example? Think about it, how long has it been since the Lord mentioned Xu Wenzhu? If there was no conflict between them, Xu Wenzhu would be stuck in the army." >
Zhao Feng was speechless.
But he was not persuaded by the scribes either.
He never thought about kicking Wu Xian and finding another place.
Tacitly allowing his daughter to follow Shen Tang was just because he felt reassured about Shen Tang, and her place was the best and safest home for his daughter.
The scribe came to a conclusion quietly: "Xu Wenzhu has spent all his money to help his lord over the years, but he still ended up with an alienated character. How long can your life-saving grace for the lord be consumed?"
Zhao Feng frowned: "Gongsu knows what you are thinking?"
The scribe said with a smile: "Gong Su is not you. It doesn't matter if you know our thoughts. If he knows, do you still want to get good results? My lord has always put him in high regard these years, and he has been kind to him. How can he tolerate others treating him badly?" The Lord's unfavorable words? However, I kept it secret and only told you now."
Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
He was really worried that Qin Li would know, Zhao Fengnao. Then another idea came to me : "Could it be that you have secretly defected to Lord Shen? Are you coming here to lobby me today?"
The scribe patted his knife and fan and smiled solemnly: "Da Yi is more thoughtful than before, but you still think too much this time. Okay, we didn't do this It's a stupid thing. Anyone who takes the initiative to come to the door will be looked down upon. Although Mr. Shen has some discrepancies with the outside world, it is unlikely that he will value someone who betrays his old master."
Even if you plan to change jobs, you won't take the initiative.
At least in the eyes of the new owner, he is not the one who takes the initiative.
Zhao Feng: "..."
He really thought his old friend was sent by Shen Tang.
He asked curiously: "Why does it have to be Shen Jun?"
Even Zhao Feng thought Shen Tang was very good. He had a youthful energy in him, and Wu Xian had abandoned him long ago. His chivalrous spirit, but Shen Tang's apparent conditions are not top-notch when compared to the coalition forces. It is obvious that Huang Lie, the leader of the alliance, is more likely to win the favor of his friends.
Just because Shen Jun may have the national seal on his body?
The scribe took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes slightly as if enjoying it, covering up the dark color flowing in his eyes: "You can't say it."
Zhao Feng snorted: "Again, you're telling the truth."
Zhao Feng is very supportive of his old friend's desire to find another way out, and cannot bear to see him waste his time and bury his talents. My lord doesn't know why, but he doesn't like his old friend very much. Naturally, he can't talk about reusing him, and he just gave him an inconspicuous and idle position. Qin Li recommended several times, but Wu Xian only paid lip service to it, but no action was taken.
After going back and forth, Qin Li also knew that Wu Xian had done it on purpose. A scribe's temperament couldn't do anything like a warm face but a cold butt, so he left it in place. Zhao Feng was quite sorry for this, but there was nothing he could do.
The scribe said nothing, but there seemed to be smile lines at the corners of his eyes.
He took the initiative to provoke another topic.
"Before we came, we met the eldest son."
"The eldest son?"
The "eldest son" in the two people's mouth is naturally Wu Xian's eldest son . Wu Xian only allowed other side wives to have children after the wife of the main wife gave birth to two sons in succession. The original intention was to prevent the legitimate sons and daughters from fighting each other, but who would have thought that the two legitimate sons and daughters would continue to cause quarrels.
The scribe said: "He seems to want to come to you."
He just lingered in the same place for a long time and did not come.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his already serious face became more serious. After a while, he said: "Do you know the purpose of the eldest son's visit?"
The scribe said casually: "I don't know, but there is no need to ask. I know, I must come to you to make some decisions and get close to you."
Zhao Feng was very smart when he heard this.
People in this world get married and start a career early.
Wu Xian was still in his prime, and his two legitimate sons were already very old. Although the two are brothers from the same mother, their temperaments are very different. The older one is more introverted and doesn't like to say much, while the younger one is a carbon copy of Wu Hyun from SNSD.
The second son has some talent in cultivation. He practices Sanjiu in the winter and Sanfu in the summer. He is very able to endure hardships. He also likes to imitate those knight-errants, who are knights with swords, good at charity, and help those in need. He can easily get along with everyone around him, no matter how high or low he is. One time, I heard that bandits were disturbing the people in a certain place. One man picked up a sword, called a few friends and went straight to his lair to eliminate the harm for the people.
Finally, he came back with the bandit leader's head and wounds all over his body. When Wu Xian heard about this, not only did he not get angry, but he laughed loudly and joked to the people around him that this kid had the same style as when he was a child.
On the other hand, the eldest son is not so outstanding.
He has little understanding of the arts, is unable to cultivate literary energy, and is physically weak. After practicing for many years, he can only gather martial courage. At an age when his brother could kill villains and make them cry for father and mother, he was the second-class best. In terms of strength, he can't even defeat a concubine younger than him. He is also not outstanding in terms of personality. Apart from being the eldest son, he can't compare to his biological brother in any way. The eldest son's reaction was also a little slow.
By the time he realized that everyone around him liked his younger brother and was dissatisfied with him, his younger brother had become the group favorite. Most of the Tianhai faction was formed by Wu Xian when he was young. Looking at the second young master is like seeing the master when he was young, and he naturally prefers him.
While most people are optimistic about the second young master, Zhao Feng and the others are more optimistic about the eldest young master. There is no other reason, just a very simple idea. The family property that the common people have worked hard for all their lives should be given to the eldest son. Zhao Feng was born in the lower class, and everything he saw was like this, so naturally his choices were also like this. Even if other sons are more likable, failure to follow the rules can easily lead to discord between brothers.
It’s just that Qin Li and the others didn’t like to get involved in their lord’s family affairs and never took sides. Zhao Feng also knew the pros and cons, but it was difficult for him to avoid it because he was nominally the eldest son's martial arts teacher. It is only natural for students to be close to their teachers.
Zhao Feng felt heartbroken when he thought of this cheap apprentice.
He once hinted that the eldest son should not pay attention to the rumors and attitudes of the outside world. He has the advantage of being both the direct descendant and the elder, and has the advantage of etiquette. Why panic? As for Wu Xian's preference for his second son, what parent doesn't like a child who looks like them? It's normal to be a little biased.
But this child didn't know what was wrong with him, and couldn't listen to Zhao Feng's words at all. Instead, he became increasingly jealous of his younger brother. As he got older, he started to act more and more. These small actions seemed very hidden to the eldest son, but they were transparent to Wu Xian. He hopes that his sons can be brothers and sisters, unite and help each other. The eldest son's behavior can be called "narrow-minded".
Of course I don't like it even more.
Zhao Feng sighed and said: "No matter how close we are to each other... it's still the master's family matter. How can we get the thumbs-up from outsiders?"
What's more, Zhao Feng has not been having a good time these past two years.
Getting close to him will do the eldest son no good.
Scribe: "The instability of the inner house is the beginning of chaos."
The two sons of the lord are no longer ignorant children. They have reached an age where ambitions grow, but Wu Xian is in this kind of situation. You don’t have a clear grasp on the issue, and you’re not afraid of causing chaos? The scribe had a vague hunch that Wu Xian might make a big mistake on this issue!
Zhao Feng muttered: "It's not that serious, right?"
The scribe smiled and said nothing.
The two sat and rested for a while, chatting and talking about this and that, a rare moment of relaxation. Until the scribe drank all the tea, Zhao Fenggang was about to lift the new boiled water from the small stove, but saw the scribe turning his head to look in the direction of the tent door curtain.
Zhao Feng asked: "Is someone coming?"
The scribes left Yanling in his tent. He would not know what was going on outside without deliberately checking. The scribe inserted the handle of the knife fan to his waist and stood up: "Yes, I won't disturb you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took the Yanling away.
He opened a corner of the door curtain and walked out of the tent, gesturing to the people waiting outside to come in: "I almost forgot the time while chatting with Dayi just now. We still have some things to deal with. Sir, have you been waiting for a long time? Dayi is here. It’s inside.”
The young man’s face turned yellow and he was restless.
Hearing the words of the scribe, he suddenly came back to his senses.
He hurriedly returned the gift to the scribe, and only after the scribe left did he muster the courage to enter Zhao Feng's camp. Before Zhao Feng could speak, he sadly called "Teacher" and gave Zhao Feng a great gift. Zhao Feng was so frightened that he almost dropped the tea bowl in his hand.
He said hurriedly: "What is the eldest son doing?"
The eldest son refused to get up, but Zhao Feng couldn't hold it back because he was strong. He said with a sad face: "Teacher, please save the student!"
When Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately looked serious.
"What nonsense are you talking about, the eldest son?"
The eldest son said: "Someone wants to harm the students."
Zhao Feng: "If there is a bad person, let us know Lord.”
What would the lord think if he didn't approach his parents if he was in danger?
The eldest son's dry eyes were about to well up with tears again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The person who wants to harm the student is the second brother. How can the student tell my father? My father never listens to this and only scolds the student. ...The students were really helpless, so they asked the teacher."
Zhao Feng's face turned green when he heard this.
I am increasingly doubting how the eldest master’s brain grew.
Can I talk about this casually?
"Does the eldest son have any physical evidence?"
Zhao Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.
The eldest son said: "...There is no physical evidence, but last time I heard my second brother talking to someone... They wanted to take advantage of the chaos in front of the battle to harm the students. If fate is great, only stay If they are disabled, they will support the students for the rest of their lives, but if the students are not good enough and die on the battlefield, they can sit back and relax..."
Zhao Feng asked: "Is there any witness?"
The eldest son said: "There was it before, and the attendants around the student also heard it, but the student was afraid to tell it, and my father didn't believe it... Who knew , that attendant went out yesterday and never came back. He must have been silenced by the second brother and the others..."
Zhao Feng: "..."
How can he make up his mind for the eldest son?
You shouldn't come to him for this kind of thing.
In desperation, Zhao Feng could only appease the eldest son and said that he would send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the attendant. Not returning home all night does not necessarily mean that someone was silenced. Maybe they just got lost.
Facts have proved that Zhao Feng said this too early.
The attendant was indeed silenced, but not by the second master, but by the father of these two brothers - the lord Wu Xian.
Zhao Feng investigated and found the boss.
How could the boss not ask?
In desperation, Zhao Feng could only tell everything.
Even with his head lowered, he could still feel Wu Xian's gaze from above his head, so he could only say tactfully: "The eldest son is still young, and it is possible for him to be misled by bad people and sow discord between brothers... Please don't do this, my lord. Ask the eldest son to account..."
That kid is not very courageous to begin with.
If you are frightened a few more times, you might become really stupid.
Wu Xian looked very dissatisfied: "Young? When I was as old as him, I already knew things. How could I be led around by others? That attendant was sent by his uncle. , What good ideas can his useless uncles have?"
Zhao Feng: "..."
There is another reason why Wu Xian hates his eldest son.
The eldest son is too close to his maternal uncle and obeys his advice. People who don't know think Wu Xian is the outsider.
