Lucky Star Little Maid - C178
Due to Yan Ye’s resolute attitude, Xu Shiqiu didn’t feel it appropriate for him to go see the Empress Hu now.
Furthermore, Yan Ye’s worry was not wrong. Although he had ruined his appearance and he could not sit in that position, what if the Empress Hu found out that he was still alive?
Xu Shiqiu thought about it for a moment and finally put this matter down.
If Yan Ye was unwilling, he would not force him.
Tomorrow morning, Xu Shiqiu still needed to enter the palace, so Yan Ye and Elder Sun did not stay for long. Although Xu Shiqiu wanted to invite Elder Sun to his house, because he was not at home, and he did not know how the situation was at home, he did not speak up.
After Yan Ye brought the Elder Sun and left, Xu Shiqiu looked at their backs and sighed.
He really did not expect Yan Ye to be Ye Yan, and to have such a relationship with his own Yanzhu. If he really had that intention, then his family would really be in a difficult position.
One was his brother-in-law, the other was his son-in-law. Both of them were son-in-law of Xu Family.
Fortunately, Yan Ye didn’t have this intention, he just wanted revenge.
When he thought about revenge, Xu Shiqiu once again thought about the mastermind behind the crown prince’s accident that year, the Third Prince.
“Let’s see how you will escape this time!” When Xu Shiqiu thought about the Third Prince that had harmed his Xu Family, he couldn’t help but want to kill him right now.
If he didn’t cause such a ruckus back then, his father wouldn’t have met with such a situation.
Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu suddenly stopped.
If nothing had happened to his father back then, then they wouldn’t have gone to the Xiahe Village. Didn’t that mean that he had never met the Young Girl before?
“There’s really no way to explain it in detail.” After Xu Shiqiu muttered this sentence, he then thought about his enemy, the Third Prince.
Xu Shiqiu knew that since the Emperor Ruikang was old, he had to take care of his more and more, so he could not be anxious to take revenge.
Fortunately, Yan Ye had been discovered this time, so Xu Shiqiu was in a very good mood. With him, his brother-in-law, and Yan Ye helping out, Ye Jingche would not be able to live this time.
Although he had thought about many things the night before, Xu Shiqiu still woke up very early the next day.
The corners of Xu Shiqiu’s mouth curled up when he thought of how he would be able to return home after entering the palace today.
Ye Shuo, Xu Yanhao and the others could more or less guess what Xu Shiqiu was thinking. They knew that he was happy that he was going home.
In fact, they were very happy too. Although they had been training in the outskirts of the capital and had left home for a period of time, it wasn’t like this time they were going to kill someone.
This was the first time they had killed someone with their own hands, and with this experience, all of their auras were different than before.
Thinking of the things that they could bring home this time, the four of them laughed in tacit understanding. As they were Xu Shiqiu’s personal guards, the things that they were given were much better than the others.
After thinking happily for a while, the four of them followed Xu Shiqiu and got on the horse. The four of them split up into two, and the two of them rode beside Xu Shiqiu on their horses to the capital city.
Xu Shiqiu did not bring many people with him to the capital. The soldiers of Iron Eagle Brigade had to pick one out, adding Xu Yanhao, Ye Shuo and some of the descendants of the ministers, the number of people did not exceed one hundred and fifty.
This number was all planned out by Xu Shiqiu, and was just enough to let the people of the capital see the imposing manner of his subordinates, and not let the Emperor Ruikang feel that he was too daring, to actually bring troops into the capital.
Furthermore, Xu Shiqiu had brought all the descendants of ministers with him. Although everyone’s performance was good, with their good origins, a good father or a good grandfather, their future path was destined to be easier than other soldiers.
Xu Shiqiu also wanted to be fair, but in this kind of environment, with his brother-in-law’s early hints, this was the only thing he could do.
However, Xu Shiqiu was fair to his subordinates who went out to exterminate the bandits this time.
The contribution record for the extermination of the bandit was currently in Liu Ze’s hands, he had handed all of these matters to Xu Shiqiu, he had done well, although his strength was not as good as Ye Shuo’s, Xu Yanhao’s and the rest’s, but he had done all of these meticulously.
Xu Shiqiu and the others entered the capital from the west gate, and were very close to the palace. They only followed Emperor Ruikang’s orders, and hoped that Xu Shiqiu would bring his outstanding soldiers to walk around the city.
Xu Shiqiu understood what the Emperor Ruikang meant. The Iron Eagle Brigade under his hands looked different from that of an ordinary soldier’s, it was just that the heirs of the officials of the imperial court who did not have any Iron Eagle Brigade were more outstanding than the ordinary soldiers in the outskirts of the capital after his training. Furthermore, he had killed the horse bandits who had annoyed the imperial government for many years.
In the beginning, they only took a few small paths to snatch the items and silver from the passing merchants. But later on, they became braver and actually dared to rob official funds and rations on the public road.
This matter had been going wild ever since last year, and it was only until this year when Xu Shiqiu brought his subordinates over that the imperial government decided to rob them of their money and food no less than ten times. It was also because of this that the imperial government was so determined to get rid of this group of mounted gangsters.
It was just that every time the officials stationed at Da Tong went out, they would let this group of horse bandits slip away. It was only when Xu Shiqiu went this time that they were completely dealt with.
Thinking about the news that he had found out when Da Tong had annihilated the horse bandits, Xu Shiqiu sneered in his heart.
He really did not expect the Third Prince to be so daring as to collude with these horse bandits.
Xu Shiqiu kept a straight face as he thought about the matter, but in the eyes of the people in the capital, they felt that he truly deserved to be called the son of General Xu, and was truly heroic and extraordinary.
Xu Shiqiu’s place was bustling with noise and excitement, he also hurried out.
In fact, Dong Shu had gotten up early in the morning to dress up. Although she knew that her husband might not be able to see her, she still changed into her new clothes and carefully combed her makeup.
In the past, Dong Shu would never have bothered herself like this, but this morning, when she thought about meeting her husband, she could not help but disguise herself.
It was just that Dong Shu did not expect that after she finished cleaning up and was about to go out, Yuanxi would discover that she was going out after eating her fill and started crying.
It was the first time Dong Shu had cried so bitterly to her. She could not bear to see Yuanxi suffer so much, and only after so much effort did Dong Shu manage to coax her to follow her mother out of the Main Yard.
As a result, when Dong Shu and the carriage arrived at the bottom of the Cardinal Pavilion, Xu Shiqiu’s group had already entered the west gate, and was not far from the Cardinal Pavilion.
With the support of the Mama Yan, Dong Shu alighted the carriage. Before she even entered the Acupoint Charging Tower, she felt a strange gaze land on him from the side.
Following the line of sight, Dong Shu looked over.
There were two men standing in front of the entrance of the Cloudburst Pavilion. One of them seemed to be in his thirties while the other was a bit younger, probably in his twenties.
The two of them looked a little similar, and Dong Shu sized them up a few times, but she still could not find any memories in her mind related to the two of them.
She did not know them.
Since she did not recognize her, Dong Shu stopped looking at her and did not look at her again.
After Dong Shu was escorted by the Mama Yan into the Top Scorer Pavilion, Ye Jingche, who was on the other side of the road, said to his cousin Liu Mu: “That is the Xu Shiqiu family, a lucky Young Girl is said to be present.”
Hearing his cousin’s words, Liu Mu, who had been wandering in the flowers since he was 13, immediately smiled and said, “Cousin, don’t worry. There hasn’t been a woman that I can’t deal with in the past ten years. “Just you wait. In less than a month, I will definitely take this woman.”
Hearing Liu Mu’s words, Ye Jingche did not say a word, and only glanced at him sideways.
He had never liked this little cousin of his uncle’s family, but because of how Xu Shiqiu’s excellence was often praised by the Royal Father, and the matter about Da Tong, he was extremely annoyed.
A few days ago, he was drinking with a few of his uncle’s family’s cousins. Coincidentally, this little cousin took the initiative to poach Xu Shiqiu, making him feel embarrassed.
At that time he did not agree, but after thinking about it again and again when he returned home, he finally realized that the reason Xu Shiqiu was able to be like this was because of this Young Girl.
Ye Jingche could not help but think, if this woman were to fall into his hands, what would happen?
Because of this idea, he mentioned it when he met his little cousin in the Cloud Lai Lou yesterday. He didn’t expect him to agree so quickly.
The reason he came here today was because he heard from his subordinate yesterday that the Xu Family people had reserved a room in the main hall.
With just a thought, they decided to come today to take a look. They did not expect to actually meet this Young Girl.
There were a lot of beauties in Ye Jingche’s residence, so the last time he saw Dong Shu, he did not pay much attention to her.
However, ever since she had been valued highly by the Empress Hu, he had started to notice this Young Girl who came from an ordinary background. After finding out later on that this Young Girl was someone who was blessed, he felt even more regretful.
How come he did not meet a Young Girl who could be acknowledged as lucky by the Master Xuan Ling?
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Ye Jingche felt in his heart.
