Chapter 3785 Taking the Blame

Xiao Huaixin knows best what happened in that incident.

Although what the subordinate said was right, this matter cannot be discussed outside. People's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if there are any confidants of Xiao Huaili in it?

Although the slap was a bit heavy, Xiao Huaixin did this to protect him.

Realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said, the subordinate hurriedly got up and apologized to Xiao Huaixin.

"Remember what you said today. There is only one chance. If you can't control your mouth, I can do it for you!"

With Xiao Huaixin's warning, he will not talk nonsense next time. Through this incident, Xiao Huaixin confirmed two things.

Xiao Huaiyuan is already old. Even a man as upright as him made such a choice in the face of such a situation.

Another point is that Xiao Huaili's son made such a mistake. Could it be that this matter was easily passed? It's not that simple to think about it.

At this moment in the Xiao clan's land, Xiao Huaiyuan sent someone to deliver a letter. When the person returned to the clan land, the first thing he did was to see Xiao Huaili.

Xiao Huaili was meeting with several elders in the clan, and was about to decide on the next clan leader. He had to work for Xiao Qing's affairs in advance.

Previously, he had spent a lot of effort to let Xiao Qing take over the affairs of the clan, but it was not enough. He saw Xiao Qing's ability.

Only when he, the clan leader, came forward could these elders stand on Xiao Qing's side. When they were talking, someone pushed open the door.

"Clan leader, Xiao Huaiyuan's people are back, saying that they have important things to see you."

Xiao Huaili stopped, he looked at this person, he didn't know any rules, he said that during the parliament, no one was allowed to disturb.

"If there is anything, wait until I'm done here, I'll talk about it. I sent Xiao Huaiyuan to do things, not to let him cause trouble for me."

"Clan leader, I think you'd better meet W first. He has a box in his hand and said that this thing must be handed over to you."

Hearing the word box, generally in special circumstances, when confidentiality is required, boxes are used to convey messages.

In this way, other people will not know about the communication between the two parties. Since Xiao Huaiyuan used this method, it means that the matter is indeed very important.

"Okay, let him in. If he, Xiao Huaiyuan, is defeated, I will definitely not forgive him."

Xiao Huaili thought so in his heart. Apart from this matter, there should be nothing special that he must find him to report in person.

The subordinate came in from outside and handed the box in his hand to Xiao Huaili. There was a special key on the box, which could only be opened by important people in the clan.

There are many ways to lock. Each combination requires a corresponding key to open. Once the key is wrong, the things inside will be directly blown into powder as the magic circle on the box is triggered.

Xiao Huaili took a ring from his hand. There was a special shape on the ring, which just matched the keyhole above.

After the box was opened, when Xiao Huaili saw what was in the box, his eyes widened immediately.

A familiar jade sword, which was originally given to Xiao Qing by him. This jade magic weapon was rare, and the grade of this magic weapon was good.

Xiao Huaili gave this to Xiao Qing in the hope that Xiao Qing's strength could grow quickly and bring out the true power of the jade sword, which could be used as an incentive.

I didn't expect it to appear here. In addition to this jade sword, there was also a letter inside. He took it out and opened the wax seal on it.

After opening it, the content of the letter made Xiao Huaili's suppressed anger almost burst out on the spot.

In the letter, Xiao Huaiyuan wrote very clearly what happened before and what he saw.

This magic weapon was given to him by Xiao Qing to shut Xiao Huaiyuan up. Xiao Huaiyuan also kept his promise and did not tell anyone else.

The reason why he wanted to tell Xiao Huaili about this was because he felt that a person who was about to succeed the position of the Xiao clan leader did such a shameful thing. Is Xiao Qing really qualified to lead the future of the Xiao clan?

This matter is not a joke. I hope Xiao Huaili will make his own decision. As for what he does next, it has nothing to do with him.

"Clan leader, what happened?"

"What news did Xiao Huaiyuan send back? He went to pacify the Black Dragon Clan, and it was always smooth before. Could it be that he encountered trouble this time?"

Several other clan leaders were present at the scene. Xiao Huaili regretted that he should not have opened the letter in such a place.

It was his carelessness. The letter was brought back by Xiao Huaiyuan and was put in a box, which showed that the news inside was extraordinary.

Suppressing his inner anger, Xiao Huaili laughed and pretended that nothing had happened.

"The news came back. This time Xiao Qing made a military achievement on the battlefield. Xiao Huaiyuan wanted to inform me and planned to hold a celebration banquet for him."

After Xiao Huaili calmed down, he found an excuse and said that the letter in his hand ignited a flame and burned to ashes.

Except for him, Xiao Huaiyuan and Xiao Qing, no fourth person in the Xiao clan would know about this matter. He believed in Xiao Huaiyuan's character and would not tell others.

It was shameful, too shameful. A descendant of the Xiao clan, the son of Xiao Huaili, actually knelt down to the people of the Black Dragon clan in order to survive.

The news that was spread not only meant that Xiao Qing was doomed, but also that he, the current clan leader, would lose all face and had no face to face everyone in the clan.

"So the young master has made military achievements. He is indeed young and promising."

"We must celebrate this, but the war is not over yet. It won't be too late to wait until it is over."

The elders congratulated Xiao Huaili in unison, but these congratulations sounded like a humiliation. Only he knew the taste.

He couldn't wait any longer. He ordered Xiao Qing to be transferred back and kept him in the outside world. He wanted to hone his skills, but he did such an unforgivable scandal.

If he continued like this, he didn't know what would happen. After the Black Dragon Clan knew his identity, they would definitely not let him go the next time they met him. Xiao Huaili felt a headache. Neither of his two sons gave him peace of mind.

"Go! Deliver my order, tell them I said, and have Xiao Qing come back to report to me!"

"Yes!"

"If he hears nothing, bring him back to me, I have something important to tell him!"

Xiao Huaili gave the order, and his subordinates immediately did it, leaving the clan to pass the message back. He didn't understand the truth, and thought it was to recall Xiao Qing earlier and hold a celebration banquet.

After all, all the previous mistakes were borne by Xiao Huaiyuan alone.
