Chapter 118: Shooting a Cold Arrow
Chapter 118: Shooting a Cold Arrow
The door creaked open. Xiao Jue looked outside and saw that the sky was gradually getting dark. As long as he dealt with the three people in front of him, the rest of the things would be done quickly, and he could go to the General's Mansion.
"Parents?" Xiao Jue walked out and pressed the three of them.
"Brother Jue, don't do this, I'm scared." Bai Miaomiao was terrified when she saw the murderous look on Xiao Jue's face, like a frightened bird.
"Excuse me, Concubine Liu, my mother is no longer here, who should I greet? Hmm?"
"Do you think I don't exist?" Prince Xiao was thinking, your mother is gone, but I am still here.
"So the prince is here too. This prince is busy with something. You have seen enough. Please leave. I have something to take care of." Xiao Jue's cold voice sounded again.
"Brother Jue, you haven't eaten anything all day. I brought you something. Please eat it." Bai Miaomiao immediately brought it up in front of him. Xiao Jue looked at the food box and said, "I really have eaten. You should go back and rest early. You haven't rested in the palace recently! Go ahead."
This sentence sounded like a confession to Bai Miaomiao. She blushed and said "OK" with a beating heart. Then she wanted to take Concubine Liu away.
"You, really, have been standing outside for so long, and the prince hasn't said a single nice word to cheer you up. Forget it, as long as you guys are happy. I think the prince should find a way to arrange this marriage..." Concubine Liu was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Concubine Liu can go to the palace and try. I'll wait..." This expression is hard to understand.
After saying that, Xiao Jue went in and closed the door, and asked Qingfeng to guard against anyone approaching the courtyard.
Li Yu, who was waiting inside, came out from behind the screen, and the two began to plan something...
Time was passing by. I was attacked by a cold arrow right after finishing the conversation. This was in the dignified Xiao Wang Mansion, which was under the feet of the emperor.
"Let's not chase him anymore. Let's send Li Yu back first." Xiao Jue pulled out the arrow and looked at the person who was running away. He thought it should be someone from the General's Mansion.
"Where have you been, second brother?" Su Jinxiu asked Su Jinmu, who was dressed in black.
"I'm going to shoot a sneak attack," Su Jinmu said and went back to change clothes.
Leaving Su Jinxiu confused
Here, Xiao Jue finished his work and packed up his things and rushed to the General's Mansion. Today, Emperor Yuan had been urging him to go back and give more gifts and walk around more. He had originally reported that he and Wen Jiu were not on good terms. If it weren't for her saving the people of the city, he would have wanted to throw her away somewhere. She was so delicate and weak, and finally she was infected with the plague. Later, when he was trying to subdue Xiao Xiang's people, he accidentally heard her talking about flying kites, and then he thought of making a big kite, etc.
Chu Yinan, who was standing by, sneered in his heart, while Gu Xiao had a look of watching a show.
"Asshole, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister after all. She is a delicate woman who gives you advice and treats you, and you have this attitude?"
"It wasn't her idea at all. That was my idea. What does it have to do with her?" Xiao Jue said with disdain.
The people in the General's Mansion were so angry after hearing this.
"What Prince Xiao said is true. Even if my niece is not good enough, she is still the apple of my eye. You cannot trample on her at will. Your Majesty, I think Prince Xiao has no interest in my unfortunate niece. Why don't you cancel the marriage and marry someone else?" Su Yanchen knelt down and spoke sincerely.
"Lord Su, why are you talking nonsense? My words are as good as gold. How can I take them back? Don't listen to his nonsense. I have ordered the emperor to reward Wen Jiu." Emperor Yuan comforted Xiao Jue. Why couldn't Wen Jiu please Xiao Jue? This Xiao Jue really gave him a headache. If he didn't let them get married quickly, he was afraid that the troops and horses he was given as the first-class marshal would increase. Now all the people stationed in Xiaoxiang were Xiao Jue's people. He had to think of a way. One tiger is always easier to deal with than two separated ones. He must make them merge into one so that he can concentrate on dealing with it and find a way to remove his military power.
"Go back quickly and go to the General's Mansion when you are done. Miss Wen is still not well. I heard that she almost died in Xiaoxiang because she tried to block a hidden weapon for you. Is this how you treat your savior? Go visit her every day. This is the emperor's order and you must not disobey. Bring some supplements with her later."
"What?" Su Yanchen raised his head and looked at Xiao Jue with wide eyes, as if he wanted to kill him.
"No need, Your Majesty, I have some. Besides, the General's Mansion will not be short of them..." Xiao Jue looked so careless that Su Yanchen and Emperor Yuan were unhappy. Gu Xiao was very excited.
"You are so insolent. You are getting more and more absurd the more you talk. Don't worry, Lord Su. Miss Wen is fine now. She is said to have woken up." Emperor Yuan tried to comfort her while using his eyes to stop Xiao Jue from speaking.
After walking out of the hall, Gu Xiao looked at Xiao Jue meaningfully.
Su Yanchen didn't even look at Xiao Jue and walked away with his sleeves swung, his steps a little anxious.
He had no choice but to go pick up Bai Miaomiao and put on a full show.
With a click, the carriage stopped.
"Master, the carriage is broken." Qingfeng got off the carriage to check, looked around and reported again, "Master, the wheel seems to have been tampered with."
"Someone tampered with it? Do you know what you are talking about?" Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes, it was my fault." Qingfeng didn't expect that someone could do something under his nose. Fortunately, he drove steadily.
"Unload the horses and drag these things over. We are almost there."
"Yes, master"
Xiao Jue came down and saw that the number of pedestrians on the street had gradually decreased. Everyone must have come to enjoy the delicious food!
He touched his stomach and realized that he hadn't eaten for a whole day. He said he had eaten in the palace and also in the palace. He just wanted to finish everything quickly and explain quickly, otherwise, like today, a sneak attack or sabotage of the carriage could happen at any time... He had no choice.
After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived. "Qingfeng unloaded the things."
"Prince Xiao, please wait a moment. I will go in to report." The guard hurried in.
"Grandfather, let's not wait any longer. We are all hungry. Didn't you hear what uncle said just now? Damn it, don't let me see him, or I won't let him go." Su Jinxiu wanted to beat Xiao Jue up right now.
"Okay, stop talking." Zhao glared at him, her eyes red. She and Qin came back and heard the old lady talk about Wen Jiu. She felt sad and distressed. When she heard her eldest brother talk about what happened in the court today, she was even more angry and threatened to use money to find the best man in the world for Wen Jiu.
"Old General, Prince Xiao is outside asking for an audience."
"No, let him go!" Su Jinxiu said loudly
"Nonsense, housekeeper, go and welcome him in!" The old general still had to be given the respect he deserved.
Wen Jiu looked at his grandfather with complicated feelings. Perhaps his grandfather was related to the person he mentioned. Who was the person who wanted to facilitate their marriage?
"Prince Xiao, please come in. The old general has been waiting for a long time."
"Thank you, butler. Qingfeng, ask someone to carry the things in." Xiao Jue followed the butler and walked inside...
