Chapter 3671

"All of you, retreat …" Xiao Jun remained calm. Although his face was pale, he could still stand there and barely resist the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"My lord …" All the cultivators and generals said in unison, "We would rather die in front of my lord than retreat!"

"Retreat!" Xiao Jun waved his hand and said, "This is my family's matter, not the country's. You all are not allowed to interfere."

"This …" The cultivators looked at each other and replied in unison, "Yes!"

However, they all retreated to the edge of the golden tent and didn't leave.

"Ai …." Seeing the reaction of the cultivators and soldiers, Xiao Jun sighed. He looked at Xiao Hua and bowed. "Junior Xiao Jun greets Senior Xiao."

"Mm!"

Xiao Hua nodded and didn't return the greeting. He walked in front of Xiao Jun and said, "You're enjoying being the monarch. Isn't it time to return it to Xiao Jian?"

Xiao Jun didn't find it strange at all. He took a deep breath and looked at Xue Ping behind Xiao Hua and the two Buddhist disciples behind the tent. He said, "Actually, when I heard that Xiao Jian was protected by a Daoist expert and Xue Ping said so, I knew … that sooner or later, Senior would find me …"

"Hehe, two state teachers …" Xiao Hua sneered, "That day, I thought it was strange how two Buddhist disciples with second grade essence power could become the state teachers of the Single Liang Kingdom. It seems like it was just a fake edict."

Xiao Jun ignored Xiao Hua's mockery. He looked at the people around him, then looked at the falling snow outside the tent. He faintly said, "Junior's throne was originally seized from Brother Wang's hands. Junior has always felt guilty. Even though I poured my heart and soul into state affairs, I still couldn't remove it.

Since Brother Wang wants to take back the throne today, then Junior will return it to Brother Wang. Senior, please tell Brother Wang that I hope he will treat his people well after taking over the throne … "

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from behind Xiao Jun. An old woman in plain clothes rushed out from behind the golden screen. Her hair was white, and her face was covered by a silk handkerchief, so her appearance couldn't be seen clearly.

However, as soon as the old woman came out, she immediately stood in front of Xiao Jun. Facing Xiao Hua's might, she was not afraid at all. She only coldly said, "Who said my husband's throne was stolen?

Others might not be able to recognize Xiao Jian's true face, but how could this servant not know Xiao Jian's background?

Xiao Jian is a selfish person who seeks nothing but profit, and is addicted to gambling. How can Senior believe the words of such a person?

If Senior insists on listening to only one side of the story, if you agree that you are doing the Dao of Heaven, that you are replacing the people of the Single Liang Kingdom to choose the king, and that you want to take my husband's life, then … I am willing to let my husband die!

I hope this servant's death can give Xiao Jian an explanation and allow Senior to calm down for a moment! "

"Zhiji …" Xiao Jun reached out to pull the old woman away and said in a low voice, "This has nothing to do with you. This is a grudge between Xiao Jian and me. Don't get involved!"

"How can this servant not get involved?"

The old woman named Zhiji clearly knew that today's matter would not have a good ending. She said somewhat agitatedly, "As early as forty years ago, you said that this was a matter between you and Xiao Jian, and you didn't want this servant to get involved!

And the result?

You were deceived by Xiao Jian, and for the so-called family affection … you abandoned this servant. This servant tearfully obeyed Royal Father's order to marry Xiao Jian, making him the king of the Single Liang Kingdom.

After that, Xiao Jian didn't care about the court, and for the sake of cockfighting, he neglected the country's affairs and even lost several border cities to other countries. This servant came to you to discuss it, but you said that this was a matter between men, and you didn't want this servant to get involved.

After that … this servant chased Xiao Jian off the throne and wanted to imprison him. You said that this was a matter of the country, and you didn't want this servant to get involved. Not only did you let Xiao Jian go, you even sent experts to protect him.

Look, what did your kindness get in return?

It was Xiao Jian's revenge, Xiao Jian repaid kindness with enmity! "

"This Monarch can't ask about other people's matters. This Monarch only wants to have a clear conscience!"

Xiao Jun reached out to hold Zhiji's hand and said warmly, "Moreover, Xiao Jian is this Monarch's brother, and your husband. This Monarch can't let you and I carry infamy!

Since today's grudge has come to an end, you don't need to think about other things. All of this was done by this Monarch, and it has nothing to do with you! "

Finished speaking, Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Hua and said, "Senior Xiao, you and I have the same surname. This Junior doesn't dare to climb up to the same sect. I ask Senior to be lenient and just take this Junior's life. Zhiji is Xiao Jian's original wife, and I presume that he didn't ask Senior to take Zhiji's life, right?"

"En, Xiao Jian didn't mention this!" Xiao Hua lightly nodded.

"In the heavens, we are willing to be lovebirds, and on earth, we are willing to be intertwined branches. Even if this servant dies, this servant wants to be a mandarin duck with the same name as my husband!"

Zhiji said affectionately, "In this life, this servant will only recognize Xiao Jun as my husband. Xiao Jian is nothing more than a treacherous rascal."

Facing these two people who were unafraid of death, Xiao Hua was a bit embarrassed!

He knew of Xiao Jian's selfishness and his addiction to gambling. However, he didn't expect that Xiao Jian, Xiao Jun, and Zhiji had such a deep relationship. Moreover, Xiao Jian's position of Monarch was taken away by Xiao Jun, but this position was originally passed down by Zhiji's father. If Zhiji took it away, it could be considered as returning it to its rightful owner. Especially if it was as Zhiji said, Xiao Jian wasn't a qualified monarch, and Xiao Jun was the wise monarch that Xue Ping spoke of. How could Xiao Hua give the position of Monarch to Xiao Jian?

"Daoist Xiao …" At this moment, the others didn't dare to speak. Fairy Jing, who was behind him, opened her mouth and said, "This servant can't discern the words of others, but this woman's words, this servant can tell that they come from the bottom of her heart. Has Daoist Xiao been bewitched by others?

This servant hopes that Daoist Xiao can … be a bit more lenient and carefully investigate before speaking again. "

"En …" Xiao Hua nodded and said, "It seems that this matter is far from as simple as this Xiao thought. This Xiao might even be wrong!"

"All of you can leave!"

Fairy Jing said indifferently, "If Daoist Xiao wants to make a move, it's useless for all of you to stay here."

"All of you can leave!" Xiao Jun waved his hand and said, "Senior Xiao is here for a family matter. It has nothing to do with all of you."

However, the soldiers and cultivators were still somewhat unwilling.

"Quickly leave!" Zhiji said coldly, "This old woman is going to talk about some family scandals. Do you all want to listen?"

"Yes, yes …" Zhiji's words were still the most effective. Everyone hurriedly bowed and quietly retreated to the sides.

Looking at the peaceful tent, Xiao Jun pulled Zhiji's hand and walked down from the seat of honor. He bowed and said, "Senior, please take a seat."

"En!"

Xiao Hua didn't hold back. He walked to the back of the jade table and sat down. He said to Chang Yu and Wu Tian, "The two of you can leave. I'll talk to Xiao Jun."

"Yes, master!"

Chang Yu and Wu Tian hurriedly left the tent. Fairy Jing's beautiful eyes swept over and said with a smile, "Since it's your Xiao family's matter, it's not convenient for this servant to listen. I'll leave for a moment!"

Xiao Hua thought for a moment and nodded, "Very well. Fairy Jing, please wait outside for a moment!"

After Fairy Jing left, Xiao Hua looked at Xiao Jun's slightly calmed face and said, "Tell me the matter between you and Xiao Jian. No matter how big or small it is, tell me everything."

"Yes, senior!"

Seeing Xiao Hua's tone as a senior of the Xiao family, the Xiao family didn't dare to be negligent and told the whole story in detail.

The matter was far more complicated than Xiao Hua imagined. Xiao Jun and Xiao Jian were cousins. They were from the side branch of the Xiao family of the Single Liang country. The Xiao family had some influence in the Single Liang country and was a big family that the king of the Single Liang country wanted to rope in.

Xiao Jun and Xiao Jian had a good relationship since childhood. Xiao Jian's character wasn't good and others didn't like him. However, Xiao Jun was magnanimous and didn't care about Xiao Jian's shortcomings. He could be considered one of the few family members that Xiao Jian could trust.

When the two of them got older, they entered the academy of the Single Liang country to study. Although Xiao Jian's character wasn't good, he was exceptionally intelligent. His studies were outstanding and he also stood out in Daoism cultivation.

On the other hand, Xiao Jun couldn't compare to Xiao Jian in any aspect.

As the princess of the Single Liang country, Zhiji also studied in the academy. Naturally, she was like the moon surrounded by stars. Xiao Jian even spent a lot of effort to get close to Zhiji.

Unfortunately, Zhiji had unique insight and didn't pay much attention to Xiao Jian. Instead, she was especially close to Xiao Jun.

Thus, Xiao Jian pretended to be drunk and confided in front of Xiao Jun that he wouldn't marry anyone other than Zhiji. Xiao Jun fell for it and reluctantly dropped out of the academy. He was even punished by the Xiao family.

Later, the king of the Single Liang country selected a son-in-law from the imperial academy. Xiao Jian stood out and obtained the king's favor.

Of course, when the king was alive, Xiao Jian pretended very well. He handled the affairs of the country and family cleanly without any mistakes.

Although Zhiji's heart wasn't with Xiao Jian, she didn't think too much about it for the sake of the Single Liang country.

However, when the king passed away, Xiao Jian took control of the country and immediately revealed his true nature. Not only did he begin to neglect the affairs of the country, he even learned cockfighting from an unknown disciple. For a time, cockfighting became the norm in the Single Liang country and no one paid attention to the affairs of the country.

Because of this, Zhiji also paid a visit to the state preceptor of the Single Liang country and begged him to step in. However, the state preceptor was at the juncture of cultivating his Golden Core. How could he care about the life and death of the Single Liang country?

He didn't pay attention to it at all.

In the end, when Xiao Jian lost the three border cities to the neighboring country and wanted to gamble again, Zhiji couldn't bear it anymore. She contacted Xiao Jun and found a Buddhist sect expert who was also looking for help in the Hidden Immortal Continent. In one fell swoop, Xiao Jian was kicked off the throne. The Golden Core state preceptor was also expelled from the Single Liang country by the Buddhist sect expert. From then on, Xiao Jun established the country with the Buddhist sect and sat on the throne of the Single Liang country.

"Oh, if what you said is true!" After listening to Xiao Jun's analysis, Xiao Hua said indifferently, "This old man was wrong.

Oh, right, Zhiji, what happened to your face? "

Zhiji wasn't surprised. She took off the handkerchief on her face and saw that the left side of Zhiji's face was densely covered with a layer of purple pimples. It was very frightening.

Zhiji said indifferently, "Senior, please know. I also don't know what happened. Ever since Xiao Jun left the imperial academy, my face has been covered with pimples. Father searched everywhere for a divine doctor but to no avail. Previously, there were only one or two pimples, but later on, half of my face was covered with them.

If it wasn't for my face, how could Xiao Jian be chosen by father so easily? "
