Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C499 The Culprit



C499 The Culprit

The sword wielder really doesn't dare to move now.    

    

The sweat on his forehead kept dripping down.    

    

At this moment, he also didn't know what to do.    

    

He could only see a guy who was obviously in charge. He walked over and patted the servant's head hard.    

    

He questioned loudly, "I haven't given the order yet. Why did you attack first?!"    

    

"I... I..."    

    

The servant didn't say anything even after a long time.    

    

He made the manager so angry that he couldn't take it anymore.    

    

"It's a good thing I didn't hit him. I forgive you this time, but if you do it again... Hmph, you know the consequences!"    

    

"Oh..."    

    

That servant was still extremely aggrieved.    

    

He lowered his head.    

    

However, the arrow was aimed at the sword-wielding expert.    

    

On the contrary, the sword-wielding expert was extremely frightened.    

    

He was afraid that this fellow would shoot the arrow out again if he was not careful.    

    

He really did not have the confidence to dodge it!    

    

Thus, there was another stalemate.    

    

The servants didn't know how to use their advantage to force the two experts to surrender.    

    

The key was...    

    

They still didn't understand.    

    

Why was it starting to get noisy?    

    

According to the messenger, these two people were brought here by Prime Minister Qiu.    

    

Just as everyone was in a dilemma.    

    

Xiao Yun finally walked out.    

    

He frowned as he looked at the scene.    

    

Coincidentally.    

    

Prime Minister Qiu was also pushed into the wheelchair.    

    

He could walk, but he was too slow.    

    

He did not dare to waste any time.    

    

"Aiya, why are you still here?"    

    

Prime Minister Qiu said anxiously, "Kid, hurry up and leave! These two people I brought are experts. You take our Qiu family's carriage and leave quickly!"    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned.    

    

He scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "Why did you let me leave? Did something happen?"    

    

Prime Minister Qiu looked at the people beside him and did not have the mood to hide anymore.    

    

He said loudly, "His Majesty urgently convened a court assembly. This is very unusual. His Majesty had previously asked the Cabinet for the file of Xiao family. It recorded the information of all the members of Xiao family. Even those who were far away from home did not leave it behind. The last time His Majesty asked for the file like this was in the case of the Situ family from a few decades ago. At that time, it was a major case of family shakedowns and family extermination! This time, it was going to be... boy, hurry up and leave. Don't worry about the others. As long as you're here, the Xiao family will be here!"    

    

In fact, Prime Minister Qiu was worried about Xiao Yun because his majesty had asked for the Xiao family's dossier.    

    

He had participated in this case before, so he was very clear about the swift, decisive, and cruel methods of the royal family.    

    

Before the Situ family met with an accident, they were the most popular people in the dynasty.    

    

Everyone even thought that their Situ family could become a hundred-year-old family in the Qin Country.    

    

But who would have thought?    

    

A sudden decree.    

    

The building suddenly collapsed.    

    

He didn't even have time to escape.    

    

Even when the Situ family's people were captured, they still loudly shouted that they must have made a mistake. There must have been a misunderstanding.    

    

It was only when their heads were chopped off that they realized that their deaths were imminent...    

    

Xiao Yun heard Prime Minister Qiu's words.    

    

He was stunned for a while.    

    

Then, he lowered his head and thought for a while.    

    

He said with a bitter smile, "Prime Minister Qiu, it seems that you misunderstood."    

    

To be honest, Xiao Yun was quite touched.    

    

Prime Minister Qiu insisted that His Majesty wanted to attack the Xiao family, and even took such a big risk to come over and protect Xiao Yun.    

    

How could he not know that this would bring eternal danger to the Qiu family?    

    

He was not his own grandson, so it was inappropriate for him to protect him like this.    

    

For someone who was not related to him, to be able to do this for him, even his heart would be moved.    

    

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, walked up and repeated, "You must have misunderstood."    

    

Xiao Yun was very sure about this matter.    

    

Because even if His Majesty lost his mind and suddenly wanted to attack Xiao Yun, he would not take advantage of this situation and would not do it openly.    

    

After all...    

    

Xiao Huai'en was in the north.    

    

He was leading the most elite and well-supplied army in Qin Country.    

    

If something were to happen to Xiao Yun...    

    

Xiao Huai'en would definitely send his army down south.    

    

He would fight with the imperial family and the entire Qin Country! Break!    

    

After all...    

    

Home country and the world.    

    

With home gone, what could people care about?    

    

Loyalty?    

    

A person who didn't care about his family couldn't possibly be loyal.    

    

Loyalty was not a hot-blooded passion, not a sudden thought. It was not something that could happen in an instant. Instead, it was perseverance, when there was time to consider all kinds of conditions and outcomes. When one had the ability to make all kinds of choices, they could also choose the things that were most in line with the interests of the higher-ups. This was called loyalty.    

    

And Xiao Yun also understood why His Majesty wanted to do these two things.    

    

Prime Minister Qiu did not think that it would be because the information was relatively limited.    

    

"How can you be so sure? Even if there is a one-thousandth possibility... you should leave the city first and treat it as a sightseeing trip. It should be done, right? If something happens, you can go far away. If nothing happens... If you come back again, it should be done, right? "    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Actually, you really misunderstood Prime Minister Qiu. Actually, as long as you know a piece of news, you will understand."    

    

" What news? "    

    

"The old master of the family had a great victory in the northern border. He conquered thirteen cities of different sizes in the northern Wei. The land he occupied is equivalent to the land of Qin Country. In the future, that place should be named the Beijiang Road. "    

    

"Ah?!"    

    

Prime Minister Qiu was stunned.    

    

He blinked his eyes blankly.    

    

As smart as he was, he instantly understood why His Majesty would do that.    

    

The reason why he wanted the Xiao family's register was that he had to reward them handsomely for their achievements. Or, it could be said that he had the right to take back military power from Xiao Huai'en and put the military credit on His Majesty's head.    

    

As for the temporary court assembly and the importance of it, it was also because the war in the north was too important. Naturally, he would try his best to announce it when everyone appeared. Only then would it be meaningful and grand.    

    

As expected.    

    

As long as there was one piece of news, the entire misunderstanding would be exposed.    

    

Prime Minister Qiu blinked his eyes and suddenly reached out his hand to massage Xiao Yun's shoulder.    

    

He said somewhat angrily, "Such an important piece of news, since you already know about it, why didn't you tell this old man? Seriously, we don't need to care about our relationship anymore, right? "    

    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Initially, I didn't want to tell anyone else, and this kind of good news, it's actually not good to spread from the Xiao family's mouth."    

    

"En... That's true. It's a bit of a suspicion of snatching credit, and it's a little proud of itself."    

    

"That's right. Even if you aren't proud, others will find you unpleasant to the eye. However, if you make any mistakes, you will be caught red-handed. Although our Xiao family isn't afraid, it will still be troublesome."    

    

After a pause, Xiao Yun suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Besides, His Majesty definitely wants to announce such a good thing himself. He should go and show off. He should be able to write some articles. He might even need to make a plaque with some words or something. Hanging in front of our house. "    

    

"Yeah... Very likely!"    

    

Prime Minister Qiu instantly laughed.    

    

Finally, after the dark clouds had passed, a rainbow appeared.    

    

After laughing for a while, he was stunned. He hurriedly turned around and said to the two experts, "Aiya, I'm sorry. This time, I really misunderstood. I made you guys come here for nothing, and..."    

    

At this time, an expert was barefooted. The golden chicken stood there alone with its sword in hand.    

    

The other expert was still being held by Badao. His long blade was pressed against his throat, as if he could cut his throat at any time.    

    

Prime Minister Qiu had an embarrassed look on his face, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "Badao, let go."    

    

“ Oh. "    

    

Only then did Badao relax his hand. He narrowed his eyes and revealed a proud expression as he scanned his surroundings. His gaze was clearly showing off to those servants present.    

    

Did you see that? Am I powerful? In the future, you guys will secretly scold me? Spit your saliva on me again? !    

    

"Ha, pooh!"    

    

All of a sudden, one of the stewards spat out a mouthful of saliva at Badao.    

    

Then, he said indignantly, "I thought it was something dangerous, but it turns out to be a misunderstanding. If it wasn't for this fool coming out to fight, would everyone be so nervous?"    

    

"En, that's right, that's right. It's Badao again."    

    

"Hey, what do you think we should do? There's such a trash in the family. He can eat every day."    

    

"Yes, yes, yes, he can eat it very much! He wants to eat half a lamb for a meal. He looks scary."    

    

"Weak and useless. Maybe he's talking about this kind of person?"    

    

"Hmph, we can only rely on the fact that the young master is on his side. Otherwise, we would have beaten him out a long time ago!"    

    

"Tsk, you only know how to embarrass the Xiao family!"    

    

Badao was dumbfounded.    

    

His mouth was wide open as he looked at the disdainful eyes around him.    

    

He was speechless for a long time.
