Chapter 153 Confrontation
When Xiao Su and Xiao Cheng saw Gu Jingzhi and his group, Gu Jingzhi also saw Xiao Su and Xiao Cheng.
Gu Jingzhi signaled the team to slow down, and he rode his horse to the side of the carriage, "Axi."
Li Xi heard the voice and opened the curtain to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Su and Xiao Cheng are at the city gate."
Before going to Beijing, Gu Jingzhi told Li Xi about the situation in the capital and the people who needed attention. After he said this, Li Xi understood the identities of the two.
"all?"
"My relationship with them is average. They might deliberately embarrass you in a while. Just pretend you didn't hear anything and stay in the carriage. I will take care of the rest."
Average relationship? Difficulty?
I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary relationship, but a very ordinary relationship.
She had already learned from Doctor Wu about his childhood. To the other princes, he was probably the other people's child in the eyes of their parents, so it was understandable that they did not have a good attitude towards him.
Li Xi gave him a teasing look, "Oh? Is the relationship just average?"
Before he could speak, she lowered the curtain and her voice came from behind it, "I know. I promise not to make any noise for a while."
Gu Jingzhi looked at the slightly swaying curtain, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked to the front of the team, leading the team towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, Gu Jingzhi stretched out his hand to signal the team to stop, dismounted, and walked towards Xiao Su and Xiao Cheng.
He stood still, glanced at the two of them, clasped his fists and saluted, "Greetings, Second Prince, Third Prince."
The group of Zhenbei soldiers behind him also saluted, "Greetings, Second Prince, Third Prince."
"Get up." Xiao Su ignored Gu Jingzhi who was standing in front of him, but turned his head to avoid the salute of the Zhenbei Army.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was deliberately targeting Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi and Xiao Su grew up together, so she already knew what kind of person he was and was not surprised.
So almost at the same time as he said "let's start", he put down his hand.
"Oh, isn't this our famous Major General Gu Jingzhi? You must have come a long way and must have worked hard." Xiao Su sneered, as if he had just seen Gu Jingzhi standing in front of him.
Xiao Cheng lowered his head and stood silently beside him slightly behind him.
Gu Jingzhi had a faint smile on his face, "Thank you for your concern, Second Prince. The journey was smooth."
Xiao Su: Who is worried about you!
If there was one thing that Xiao Su hated the most about Gu Jingzhi, it would have to be his gentle appearance. No matter how Xiao Su ridiculed or provoked him in person, he would always be so gentle that no one could find any fault with him.
It feels like punching cotton, unable to exert any strength.
Xiao Su did not give up after being rejected by Gu Jingzhi. After all, sometimes when you encounter too many setbacks, you will get used to being passive.
He looked towards the carriage behind Gu Jingzhi, glanced at Xiao Cheng beside him, and snorted, "I heard that you brought your village girl fiancée with you to Beijing this time.
What? Is it because she is not presentable to others or is it because the two of us princes are not worthy of being here for a country girl like her to get out of the car and greet us?"
There was never a good word from Xiao Su's mouth, every word he said was sarcastic.
Hearing this, the smile on Gu Jingzhi's face faded slightly. Although he had expected that his words would not sound pleasant, when he heard Xiao Su humiliating Li Xi in this way, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"I heard that His Majesty just reprimanded the Second Prince a few days ago. How come he is still speaking so freely? It is obvious that he has not learned any lesson from it."
What happened a few days ago was no secret. Gu Jingzhi had known about it a long time ago. Of course, he also knew that he had taken the blame for someone else in this matter. Of course, he was not innocent either.
"you!"
Xiao Su looked at Gu Jingzhi angrily. He still had the nerve to say that. If he had sent the person to the capital without investigating the matter thoroughly, how could he have been scolded by his father!
Some people never look for problems in themselves. In their opinion, all the difficulties and setbacks they encounter are someone else's fault.
He still remembered that before he entered the palace when he was young, his father told him that after entering the palace, he should do what he should do, not cause trouble, but also not be afraid of trouble. He listened and did so.
Gu Jingzhi had been at odds with the princes since he was a child. Due to his status, he did not want to embarrass his Majesty and his parents who loved him, so he always took a step back when he could. Of course, he would not let them gain any advantage from him.
But this time it won’t work. He can make fun of himself, but he can’t make fun of Axi.
"Thank you for coming out to greet me, but as you said, I am tired from the long journey, so I will not stay here to accompany you."
After Gu Jingzhi finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him. Zhang Hao led Gu Jingzhi's mount forward. Gu Jingzhi took the reins, climbed on the horse, and looked down at Xiao Su, "Go ahead."
After he finished speaking, he rode his horse towards the city. Xiao Su didn't expect him to do this. Seeing the horse getting closer and closer to him, he hurriedly dodged to the side. Before he could get angry, the Zhenbei Army outside the city followed Gu Jingzhi into the city.
Xiao Su stood aside with a sullen look on his face. It was not that he didn't want them to stop, but they were moving too fast. He was afraid that he would be knocked down by them as soon as he went out. He could only watch them leave with a gloomy face.
Gu Jingzhi brought with him the businessmen from the Zhenbei Army on this trip. The number of people he brought was not too many, and soon all the Zhenbei Army entered the city.
The only ones outside the city gate were Xiao Su with a gloomy face and Xiao Cheng who was silent.
"Master?" The young eunuch following Xiao Su couldn't help but call out when he saw that his master looked very unhappy.
Xiao Su was already furious and had no place to vent his anger. When he heard the sound, he turned around and kicked him, knocking him to the ground.
The kick was so powerful that the young eunuch broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. However, he resisted the urge to cry out. He just groaned and knelt down in front of Xiao Su.
Enduring the severe pain in the abdomen, he said, "Master, calm down."
Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Su with a dark face, feeling disdain in his heart, what a waste, he is a reckless man.
Xiao Su noticed Xiao Cheng's look, "What? Are you laughing at me?"
"My Royal Brother, you misunderstood me. How dare I laugh at your joke? I didn't expect Gu Jingzhi to be so arrogant. My Royal Brother is a prince, yet he dares to humiliate you like this."
Of course he didn't see the joke, he just wanted to enjoy the fun.
"Stop gloating here and thinking you are some good guy." Xiao Su snorted coldly and turned away.
The young eunuch on the ground ignored the pain in his body and hurriedly got up and followed.
Xiao Cheng did not argue, and his expression did not even change. He watched him leave with a faint smile on his face.
It was not until Xiao Su's figure walked away and disappeared that Xiao Cheng put away the smile on his face and looked expressionlessly at the street where he was no longer visible.
