Chapter 143 The situation is tense
"Liu Ji, you are wrong! How can you easily judge Prince Fusu's wisdom and decision-making?"
"The reason why he hesitated is because he cares about the lives of the people in the world and needs to be cautious in every step."
Xiao He spoke loudly to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji also stood up and did not back down in the face of Xiao He's rebuke.
"Brother Xiao, I admire your loyalty and passion, but I also hope you can see the reality clearly."
"In these troubled times, we need a leader who can lead us to prosperity and stability, not a king who is only hesitant."
The two argued endlessly, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Under the moonlight, their figures intertwined, as if a silent contest was taking place.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, dispersing the tension between the two.
Xiao He took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement.
"Liu Ji, maybe you are right. But I believe Prince Fusu will grow into a true king. We need to give him time and trust."
Seeing Xiao He's unhappy expression, Liu Ji felt nervous, knowing that his previous remarks might have touched Xiao He's sensitive spot.
He took a deep breath, decided to ease the atmosphere, and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Brother Xiao, what I just said was pure fantasy, please don't take it to heart."
Liu Ji said apologetically, his tone full of sincerity.
"Everything we have now was given by Master Fusu, so I am naturally loyal to you."
After hearing this, the anger on Xiao He's face eased a little. He sighed and said.
"Liu Ji, I know you didn't mean to offend me, but Master Fusu has been very kind to us, and we should do our best to assist him."
"Brother Xiao is right. I spoke out of turn." Liu Ji nodded in agreement.
At the same time, he filled Xiao He's cup with tea, "Come on, Brother Xiao, have some tea to calm down."
Xiao He took the teacup, took a sip, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He put down the teacup, looked at Liu Ji and said, "As subjects, we should share your worries."
"The situation in the court is changing rapidly now. We need to unite as one to help you consolidate your position."
"Brother Xiao, what you said is absolutely right." Liu Ji took a deep breath and looked directly at Xiao He.
As if he could see through his heart, he said, "I will do my best to help you achieve great things."
"But, I also hope that we can be honest with each other and not harbor selfish motives."
Xiao He frowned slightly, he felt the challenge in Liu Ji's words.
There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air.
The two people's eyes met under the dim light, as if two sharp swords were clashing in the night sky.
"Liu Ji, what do you mean?" Xiao He said with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"My loyalty to you and the Qin State is known to all. Are you doubting me?"
Liu Ji did not retreat. He tensed his nerves and continued speaking.
"Brother Xiao, I don't doubt your loyalty, but people in this court are unpredictable."
"I just hope we can be more cautious and not leave any loopholes for the enemy."
After hearing this, Xiao He was silent for a moment. He understood Liu Ji's concerns and also felt the tense atmosphere.
But he is a man who has experienced many ups and downs, so naturally he will not be easily shaken by this atmosphere.
"Liu Ji, I understand your concerns." Xiao He spoke slowly, breaking the brief silence.
"But we have to trust you, sir, and trust our companions."
