Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 134

Gu Liunian rode a steed, like an agile jade dragon, and came straight to the Qing Palace. Galloping all the way, when he reached the front of Qing Palace, he squeezed the reins. The vigorous red horse made a neigh, and the front hooves suddenly rose up. The guards in front of the Palace greeted them with surprise. Their original intention was to prevent this person from running wild in front of the palace. Unexpectedly, he kicked off the horse, but he patted the horse’s head lightly, and the horse instantly recovered its calmness. It just snapped its nose and threw it proudly. head. The man handed the rein to the guard casually, and the guard subconsciously took it. Only then did his face change. When did he become a slave to lead the horse, so bold! He was about to raise his head and scold him, but when he saw the face of the person clearly, he was surprised on the spot.

The guards are accustomed to seeing the distinguished guests, but at this moment they are staring at him blankly, only to feel that everything in the world has been taken away by this person, and anyone has a feeling of shame in front of him.

“Report to Princess Mingyue, Gu Liu came to visit!”

Inside the flower hall, An Xiaoshao couldn’t hide his anxiety: “Is there no way to stop this marriage?”

Jiang Xiaolou turned his head to look at An Xiaoshao, with a little strange emotion in his eyes: “If you obey your mother, you will get the best husband in the world. But if you disobey, how many heads do you have?”

Such words, like a biting cold wind, blew out the fire of expectation in An Xiaoshao’s heart. That little bit of despair, like a mist, slowly unfolded in her heart, making her at a loss. An Xiaoshao spoke slowly with a hoarse voice: “If the price of enjoying wealth is to lose my love forever, then I would rather not.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at her with deep eyes. As an daughter of the An family, An Xiaoshao did not have the right to choose a free marriage from her birth. The queen married An Xiaoshao to Dugu Liancheng, succinctly and powerfully expressing An’s great support for him. With this layer of protection, Dugu Liancheng can be safer, so Jiang Xiaolou can’t interfere with his marriage. For his good, for him, let her repay his life-saving grace.

Seeing the girl in front of her so sad, Jiang Xiaolou took the initiative to walk to An Xiaoshao, squatted down, and comforted her softly: “Xiao Shao, the queen’s order cannot be violated, you and I must obey.”

An Xiaoshao raised her head and stared at Jiang Xiaolou, breathing a little bit faster: “You really can’t—”

“No.” Jiang Xiaolou said decisively. She was too selfish and would never be able to rebel against the Queen for a man. No one or anything could stop her revenge.

If she can’t just can’t, if she helps An Xiaoshao, she will give up the queen tree, and the gain will not be worth the loss!

Jiang Xiaolou should always put interests first.

An Xiaoshao was extremely disappointed and finally changed her color, muttering to herself: “Your heart is too cruel, too cruel…”

Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help but suffocate his breath. An Xiaoshao looked at her seriously and said in a very sure voice: “I like Duguyu, so I admit it without hesitation, even if it violates boudoir’s training, even if it means disobeying the queen. , But what about you? You don’t even dare to say if you like someone!”

The clear eyes stared at her fiercely, and rushed into her heart unobstructed.

On the contrary, Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly, with a beautiful face: “Xiao Shao, behave as a plan, and act accordingly.”

“You–” An Xiaoshao’s face gradually turned pale.

Xiaodie entered the door. Seeing this situation, she just bowed her head and said, “Miss, there is a young master Gu outside who said it is your old friend and must see you.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s mouth slowly stirred up a smile: “Gu Liunian, where is he now?”

“Just waiting outside.” Xiaodie replied.

“I shouldn’t let anyone know what I’m here.” An Xiaoshao reacted immediately, got up and said, “First take your place to avoid it.”

Behind the woodcarving lotus crescent floor cover in the flower hall is the most suitable place to hide. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou nodded, An Xiaoshao got up and went in.

Jiang Xiaolou then ordered: “Invite him to the flower hall.”

“Yes.”

Gu Liunian quickly stepped into the flower hall. Jiang Xiaolou wore a green salo dress and sat on a chair. On the mahogany table in the middle of the flower hall, the hollowed bronze incense pot exuded wisps of smoke. The face of Jiang Xiaolou was hazy.

Gu Liunian wears a crown of feathers on his head with beautiful jade inlaid in the crown. As usual, he wears a dazzling white coat. Only a gold woven track is tied around his waist. It is such an extremely orthodox color that makes him more attractive. The eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the eyes are like autumn waves. No wonder it has aroused the amazement of countless people along the way.

If the face of Young Master Gu is used to sell money, I am afraid it is also invaluable. Jiang Xiaolou looked at him, turning this idea in his heart, but smiled calmly on his face: “Gu Gongzi, really a rare visitor.”

Gu Liunian looked at Jiang Xiaolou’s smile, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a sly gleam slowly rose in his pupils. “Why, is Princess Mingyue not welcoming me? Or you, like those outside, also think I am a castration. Son of slave, don’t you deserve to be your friend?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at him with an inexplicable smile flashing in his eyes.

Fluttershy has already made a pot of tea at this moment. Jiang Xiaolou is holding a tea cup with cyan and gold. The fragrance of tender green tea leaves makes people feel refreshed. The corner of her eye is slanting, and she has a gentle and graceful attitude: ” Gu Gongzi, if you have a sense of contempt, then no matter how others think of you, you can’t get rid of this sense of shame.”

Gu Liunian was born humble, and he couldn’t eliminate the inferiority complex in his bones in his life. Therefore, his self-esteem became more and more swollen. When others were disrespectful, they would thunder and hold grudges. Therefore, many ministers in the DPRK were framed and killed. Jiang Xiaolou did not have such a mentality. She was of the same humble background, and was ridiculed, insulted and provoked by others. She listened with a smile on her face. She has already cultivated so thoroughly that she can do it on her own.

When others see you as inferior, you also feel that you are inferior.

An Xiaoshao is so good, but it arouses her a little bit of forge ahead. In her opinion, the humiliation of other people is always more than the pain of losing a close relative.

If you are provoked, you will be flushed with anger and resentment. If you forget the most important original intention, you will lose more than the gain.

Gu Liunian was startled, and immediately smiled: “Tolerate what ordinary people can’t bear, not everyone has your grace. Xiaolou, don’t blame me for being cruel, I live by self-esteem.”

The word self-esteem is the reason why Gu Liunian survived.

He was alone, facing countless dignitaries. They were amazed by his talents and methods, but they despised his origin and experience; they value his scheming and strategy, but fear his viciousness and cruelty.

There is a wave of blood in the DPRK, and his purpose is only one-more than ten thousand people!

In the past life, hatred had been planted deeply in his heart, with roots and sprouting and luxuriant branches. He is different from Jiang Xiaolou. He hates not one person or two people. He hates everyone.

He has lived in a muddy and dark environment for too long, and now living in the sun cannot eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Everyone has flaws, his biggest flaw is the hatred deep in his heart, and the only reason he is willing to forgive this world is Jiang Xiaolou.

When he was sleepy, she was the only one who gave a trace of warmth and encouragement, and even if she was just a small effort, he deeply remembered it.

Jiang Xiaolou just stared at him quietly, as if examining his words, no, she was guessing his true thoughts.

He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip, only to feel that the mouth was refreshing and fragrant, and he sighed: “It turns out that there is such a good tea in the Qing Palace.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked calmly and said: “Gu Gongzi is extremely rich, how can I rare such tea.”

An Xiaoshao hid in the inner room, silently listening to the conversation outside, thinking in secret. Gu Liunian is a very peculiar person, almost regarded as a scene in the capital. He has a handsome appearance and is very talented. Not long ago, someone had mentioned to An Xiaoshao that he was the son of a brothel singing prostitute, and his father was unknown. In the past, he was reprimanded by his majesty for cheating in the examination room. He was even deprived of his fame and would never be employed. According to the truth, even if such a person is exceptionally talented and stunning, it is absolutely impossible to become a cronies of your Majesty. However, he just ascended to Quan Hai. The castr had always been cautious and capable, and he was extremely favored by his majesty, and he was almost his confidant. In recent years, Quan Hai has relied on his merits and made many enemies, but his Majesty gradually alienated him and re-used Gu Liunian instead. Now Gu Liunian has already squeezed out his foster father to the corner of the corner. He is specifically responsible for the command of the Tiance Army and has done countless conspiracies behind his back.

Thinking of what Gu Liunian had done, An Xiaoshao couldn’t help but feel numb. How could such a gentleman have anything to do with Jiang Xiaolou.

At this time, Jiang Xiaolou sighed quietly and said: “Gu Gongzi, what I asked you just now, you haven’t had time to answer, why are you here today?”

There was a smile on Gu Liunian’s lips. His smile can make the sun shine. However, the darkness deep in his eyes reaches people’s hearts: “I’m here this time just to tell you a very important news.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at him and waited quietly.

Gu Liunian’s pair of dark sword eyebrows flew into the temple, and his bottomless pupils were shining brightly: “After Pei Xuan was in jail, no matter how tortured, he insisted that he knew nothing. Although Pei Gang is his. A cron, but also his clan brother, but Pei Xuan insisted that Pei Gang was the master without authorization. His Majesty sent someone to take Pei Gang, but he died suddenly… You said it was a coincidence, that could have been important. The golden sword of evidence is also missing.”

Jiang Xiaolou said nonchalantly, “What does this have to do with me.”

Gu Liunian’s expression was slightly ridiculing: “I know exactly what role you played in Pei Xuan’s case. The golden sword is not bad. Unfortunately, your majesty is very benevolent and Pei Xuan is very cunning, as long as he can’t resist death. Acknowledge, after all, there is nothing to do with him, your big show is about to end.”

Originally expecting Pei Xuan to sit down, but Pei Gang suddenly died suddenly. It can be seen that someone was planning in the dark. No wonder Xiao Guanxue dared to bet with himself. Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “I can’t blame me for this. I can only blame Jing Zhaoyin for his incompetence. A good case was handed over to him, but the confession of a prisoner could not be tried. It seems that Jing Zhaoyin was in prison. The instruments of torture are already displayed.”

“Ha, you really like to talk cool words, Pei Xuan is a martial artist, and has a stoic temper. No matter how severe the torture is, he will keep his mouth firmly closed and say nothing. When the news reaches your Majesty, his mind naturally relaxes. After all, It was Pei Gang, not Pei Xuan, who participated in the rebellion. Don’t forget that Pei Xuan once made great contributions to His Majesty. His Majesty is a nostalgic person after all.”

He said this, staring at Jiang Xiaolou’s white face for an instant, as if he wanted to see her panicked, but unfortunately she was calm and did not show any clues.

Gu Liunian finally smiled: “If you wish, I can help you.”

Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyebrows lightly and stared at the other person thoughtfully: “You want to help me?”

Gu Liu whispered in a young voice: “I heard that the empress’s wife had intentionally promised Dugu Liancheng, she was afraid that you would have nothing to do with your bamboo basket, so she kindly came over to discuss with you.”

Although his words were vague and the preface was not a follow-up, the two people in the room had already understood it.

An Xiaoshao’s heart was startled. She could only answer a few words with the queen, and even no outsider was present. Gu Liunian knew… how well his ears and eyes have been able to understand! And why did he specially come to inform? Looking out through the heavy bead curtains, I saw Gu Liunian’s eyes gleaming, staring directly at Jiang Xiaolou’s face. An Xiaoshao understood in an instant, ah, that’s it—

Jiang Xiaolou did not take the bait, but said calmly: “Is there any inevitable connection between these two things?”

Gu Liunian said unhurriedly: “In the past, the queen empress treated you very highly, and everyone praised you very high, but this is all based on the queen’s care. If the queen suddenly abandons you at this moment, or you Because something offends the empress-I’m afraid it will be the end of the hatred of a million people. If you get along with Dugu Liancheng, it is tantamount to offending the queen, and there is no way to talk about your so-called revenge. You must watch Pei Xuan’s birth. ”

Jiang Xiaolou seemed to have heard something ridiculous: “It turns out that Young Master Gu came for this.”

Gu Liunian looked at Jiang Xiaolou with a very serious expression: “You know I am not joking with you. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time, and I am almost impatient when I wait.”

Jiang Xiaolou could see the Queen’s thoughts, how could a person like Gu Liunian not know.

Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly: “Then what opportunity does Young Master Gu wait for?”

“Marry you.” He raised his eyebrows and smiled astonishingly.

An Xiaoshao listened in horror to this shocking sentence, immediately dumbfounded. She is Miss Everyone, even if she expresses her feelings, she is only in front of her girlfriends like Jiang Xiaolou. Gu Liunian made a vow, without covering up, that he opened his mouth to propose marriage, but he unexpectedly heard such secret things…Her white, jade-like cheeks were extremely thin, and a flush suddenly appeared.

She couldn’t help but think that the outsider’s face was red and Jiang Xiaolou didn’t know what to do.

Jiang Xiaolou blinked, staring at Gu Liunian, and looking carefully, he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Gu Liunian laughed, his smile was very bright, and there was no calculation in his eyes. He was sincere and sincere to marry Jiang Xiaolou. The more others trampled and contemptuous, the more resentful and injustice he felt, and one day he would trample all those people under his feet and seek justice for himself. Jiang Xiaolou has the same experience as him, and she should be the person who knows herself best in the world.

No, she is another self.

Now the marriage between Jiang Xiaolou and Prince Jin is absolutely impossible, and she will definitely choose a suitable person. This person must be very helpful to Jiang Xiaolou, but not an emperor. Gu Liunian has such confidence that she needs herself more than anyone else.

Jiang Xiaolou stopped for a moment, but laughed uncontrollably. Gu Liunian looked at her and said, “What are you laughing at?”

Jiang Xiaolou almost couldn’t stop laughing. After turning his head to the floor hood, he said, “Xiao Shao, come out.”

A young woman in brocade walked out from behind, her smile a little disturbed.

“It turned out to be Miss An.” Gu Liunian looked at An Xiaoshao, unconsciously laughing: “The old and new loves gather together. Prince Jin will be very moved when she sees it.”

When he talked about the word “old love”, there was clearly a kind of unkindness in his tone.

An Xiaoshao’s face turned pale, her expression was slightly cold, and angrily said: “Gu Gongzi, you are simply arrogant!”

Gu Liunian leaned straight on the table and looked at An Xiaoshao with a smile but a smile: “Miss An is elegant and talented, she can be called a model of ladies in Beijing, but it is a pity that in the heart of Prince Jin, she is afraid of Princess Lian Mingyue. A finger can’t be compared. If it’s common sense, you should keep a distance from Princess Mingyue to protect yourself, but you actually peeped behind here today… It shows that the friendship between you two is really good. Do you serve one husband together?”

Gu Liunian spoke frivolously, and An Xiaoshao’s face had become pale. She has always been respected. How could she have suffered such humiliation? She is simply too self-respectful! Just about to get angry, he suddenly heard Jiang Xiaolou said: “Gu Gongzi bullying honest people is not kind.”

Gu Liunian laughed dryly, without any guilt: “Ms. An was humiliated by the door…”

“Such arrogant and rude people are ashamed!” An Xiaoshao refused to listen to these foul language anymore, and quickly left with a flick of his sleeves.

When An Xiaoshao left, Gu Liunian’s eyes returned to Jiang Xiaolou’s body.

“Why do you deliberately provoke her?” Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes became brighter.

“An Xiaoshao grew up next to the queen after all. No matter what her intention is to inform her, you should not get too close to her, otherwise you will put yourself above the charcoal fire.” Gu Liunian’s voice was slightly cold, but his tone was long gone. Repeat the frivolousness just now.

Jiang Xiaolou took a deep breath: “That said, I also want to thank Master Gu.”

“Xiaolou, might as well consider my proposal. You should know what is best for you. The godly daughter of Prince Qing’s mansion has no foundation at all. Is the imperial grandson, the grandson, the imperial court, and the magnate so easy to enter? But if you marry me, you will only be criticized for a while. In less than three years, I will let everyone in the world crawl under your feet!”

I have seen people full of conspiracies, I have never seen outspoken words, few words, and the heart of non-submission is obvious. Jiang Xiaolou sneered: “The son’s method of forced marriage is really unprecedented, and there is no one to come.”

Gu Liunian looked at her quietly for a while, knowing that the other party would not reply to him for a while, and stood up and said: “I should go now. The princess will consider it carefully. I will come to listen to your reply next time.”

Watching the other person disappear at the entrance of the Flower Hall, Jiang Xiaolou’s expression slowly focused: “Gu Liunian has known that An Xiaoshao is in my house, and the empress will also know…Xiaoshao’s situation is really too dangerous. .”

Fluttershy couldn’t help: “Miss, you are still worried about her, now Prince Jin will be snatched by others.”

Jiang Xiaolou glanced at her, his eyes slowly becoming cold, “He is not mine, so I can’t call it a rob.”

Fluttershy consciously failed to speak, but she was really unwilling to say, “Prince Jin is so kind to the young lady, don’t you even notice his intentions at all?”

Jiang Xiaolou was silent, thinking about his own thoughts quietly, and did not immediately answer.

After a long time, Xiaodie asked boldly: “Miss, have you come up with an idea?”

Jiang Xiaolou squinted his eyes as if he was annoyed: “Since Pei Xuan insists on not confessing, then we have to think of something else.”

Fluttershy was almost so shocked that she couldn’t speak, and stomped her feet suddenly: “Miss, it’s all this time, you are still thinking about it!”

“Go, immediately pass on Wu Chunfeng in secret.”

That night, Wu Chunfeng met Jiang Xiaolou in a private house. Jiang Xiaolou was given the opportunity and Wu Chunfeng knew how to make arrangements.

Two days later, when the emperor was walking in the imperial garden, he suddenly noticed something squirming in the grass, causing the grass to tremble. He was shocked for a while and immediately ordered the imperial army to investigate. When everyone pushed aside the grass, they found a giant python lying on the grass, dying. The emperor was stunned, and said loudly: “Quickly, please come here!”

Since the incident of Pei Xuan, the emperor feels that Wu Chunfeng is like a god, and simply recruited him to stay with him in the palace. Wu Chunfeng paced fast all the way, and arrived in front of the emperor within half an hour. However, at this moment, the giant python had died in the grass, and the emperor’s face was faintly pale: “Master, what is going on?”

The royal family has always believed in strange omens, Wu Chunfeng touched his breath and muttered: “Your Majesty, this is a bad omen.”

Of course the emperor knew this was a bad omen, and the python died in his imperial garden like this, it was really horrible! His gaze stayed on the giant python for a while, and his face turned pale: “That’s good, how could this omen be caused?”

Wu Chunfeng said unhurriedly: “Return to your Majesty, and wait until the ministers go to divination to tell your Majesty what the reason is.”

The emperor nodded and said, “I want to know the answer immediately!”

After half an hour, Wu Chunfeng finished the divination with the tortoise shell, and said to the emperor who had been waiting beside him: “Your Majesty, this snake head is facing the south, which proves that the place where the disaster occurs lies in the south.”

The emperor frowned. He has been all right for the past two years. Where is the trouble? He suddenly thought of something: “South, you mean Meng Huo rebelled two years ago?”

In addition to the Han people in the prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are also many foreign races who hold power. This Meng Huo is the leader of one of the Qiang people. The ancestors of these Qiangs followed the founding emperor to fight the world and gained unparalleled feats. However, Emperor Taizu thought that they were not easy to manage, so he sent these people to the bitter cold places and sent heavy soldiers to guard them to prevent them from committing trouble. Most of them are integrated with the Han people, and a few are still hidden dangers of Da Zhou. When Meng Huo of Qiang raised his troops, the emperor was furious and ordered Pei Xuan to lead his army to conquer. Pei Xuan defeated Meng Huo’s army and killed Meng Huo and his remaining party more than 10,000 people. For this, the emperor praised Pei Xuan greatly. If it was a military disaster, it must be referring to this matter.

The emperor was suspicious: “This military calamity has happened long ago, and Meng Huo has also been punishable. What is going on now?”

Wu Chunfeng shook his head: “Meng Huo is a rebel general. After his death, he will remain on top of a giant python. He must commit trouble. Your Majesty, didn’t you always feel a headache a few days ago? It was the rebel general Meng Huo. The ghost will not disperse, and the conspiracy to curse your Majesty will cause this disaster.”

The emperor was shocked and lost his voice: “Is it true?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, the Weichen will never dare to be alarmist.”

“Then how to solve it?” The emperor had a hint of urgency in his eyes.

The more powerful people are, the more they believe in these nonsense, because they worry that their authority will be threatened, so Wu Chunfeng was hit with one blow. He pondered for a moment before saying: “This Meng Huo body… now what Where?”

The emperor did not remember this for a long time, so he looked at the **** next to him, and the little **** hurriedly replied: “Your Majesty, Pei Xuan had cut off Meng Huo’s head and presented it to your Majesty, and the body remained in Fangzhou.”

It is a customary practice to permanently suppress the body in a different place.

Seeing that everything is developing with Jiang Xiaolou’s expectations, Wu Chunfeng said without hesitation: “Please make an order immediately and order people to transport the corpse into the capital. I will do it myself to eliminate the disaster for your majesty.”

Fangzhou was a thousand miles away from the capital. The soldiers hurriedly increased their whip, rushed forward and succeeded, exhausted countless people, and then transported the body back to the capital. Because it has been a long time since, the body has already turned into a bone. The emperor ordered the bone to be trampled on, and he cursed: “Dead traitor, how dare you scare the living emperor!”

Wu Chunfeng had a few words in his mouth, and he has counted the brutal crimes of Meng Huo.

Seeing this scene, the emperor said in a puzzled manner: “How can this ghost be suppressed?”

“My Majesty, this corpse is extremely yin-qi, so it should be burned with fire.” Wu Chunfeng ordered people to set up a fire, preparing to burn this corpse in public, but the fire was set up, and the flames became more and more intense. The palace man was surprised. At this moment, a court lady suddenly exclaimed: “Your Majesty, the bones cannot be burned.”

Seeing this scene, the emperor stood up from his throne in shock: “Aiqing, what is the reason for this?”

Wu Chunfeng squinted his eyes and ordered someone to beat the bones with a whip. He called it a cool trial. Then he thoughtfully said: “Your Majesty, this Meng Huo seems to have grievances that cannot be appealed, so his grievance is so serious.”

The emperor was indignant and refused to take it lightly: “If there is any grievance, it is clearly a courtier and thief! Since it cannot be incinerated, then throw it into the water.”

The guards immediately pulled the bones down, Wu Chunfeng felt a little timid, but thinking of Jiang Xiaolou’s methods, he was determined to watch the changes.

The emperor was tough on the surface, but he was anxious. Last night, he dreamed that Meng Huo’s bones were gnawing at his left shoulder. He was awakened from the dream and sweaty, so he must solve this problem today.

“Report-Your Majesty.” The guard stepped forward to report: “The corpse…the corpse was thrown into the stream, but it leaned against the bridge pillar and didn’t float away!”

With an extremely horrified expression on the emperor’s face, he hurriedly said to Wu Chunfeng: “What the hell…what is going on?”

Wu Chunfeng sighed softly: “Your Majesty, the Weichen had already said that this Meng Huo had grievances, otherwise, how could he be so tenacious that he would remain so stubborn for two years after his death. .”

“What kind of grievances can he have? It’s already a certainty to commit chaos!” The emperor’s face was extremely gloomy. When Meng Huo committed the chaos, some people said that he was killed in a rage because his beautiful wife was taken by the powerful. The rich and powerful will have to revolt. The emperor has always been forgiving, and specially ordered Pei Xuan to bring a soothing edict. As long as Meng Huo surrenders, he immediately disbands the army and enters Beijing to plead guilty, and he can forgive his whole family from death. Who knew that Meng Huo actually burned the imperial edict on the spot. This action completely angered the emperor and ordered Pei Xuan to attack…

Wu Chunfeng curled up his beard, with a calm look: “Your Majesty, you can investigate it carefully. If there is really something unknown back then… I’m afraid this ghost of Meng Huo will still haunt your Majesty. ”

The emperor’s heart became more and more tense, and after all he said: “Come on, call the Criminal Department to Shangshu!”

The next day, the emperor feasted the guests in the palace in the name of admiring the moon. It was already March night, the sky was deep and high, the stars shone, the flowers in the garden were scented, the birds sang softly, and the candles in the imperial garden were brilliant. The empress, prince, and other princes were all sitting side by side, and the princes of the palace were also present.

When the banquet was in full swing, Li Hang, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, stepped forward and said: “Chen, see your Majesty.”

The emperor said indifferently: “Aiqing is flat, can I have results in what Aiqing has investigated?”

Li Hang glanced at the emperor, his expression uneasy: “Returning to your Majesty, the minister has found out that Meng Huo indeed killed a local official in the past and had to rebel. That official Zhang Liao not only took Meng Huo’s wife. He also forced his mother to death and killed his brother, so Meng Huo was indeed forced to take the mansion with the crowd. Later, many people went to cling to it, and the momentum grew stronger.”

The emperor said indifferently: “I already know about this, come here, bring Pei Xuan up.”

Pei Xuan was firmly bound by iron chains, and was escorted up by several iron armored guards.

Jiang Xiaolou put down the wine cup in his hand, raised his eyes lightly, his tattered clothes, loose long hair, scarred on his body, but his handsome face was like cold ice, with sharp anger hidden in his eyes. Even though he was covered with scars and bound by chains, his appearance still felt daunting.

What a heroic figure in the past is now a prisoner.

Click, a drop.

It was not the sound of water, but the beads of sweat on his forehead rolling off his cheeks and dripping into the grass.

Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly, and couldn’t help thinking of the tears that fell into the wine glass when he poured wine for him before.

Sweat and tears, one is from the restlessness of the heart, the other is the grief from the heart and soul.

“I just want to know, was the soothing edict burned down by Meng Huo?”

Shang Shu of the Xing Department took a deep breath and said loudly: “Returning to your Majesty, Meng Huo received the edict and felt his majesty’s kindness, so he immediately put down the butcher knife with his clansmen, and Meng Huo tied himself back and personally entered the then General Pei. Temporary Protector House, and begged your Majesty to let go of his people, but who knows–”

Li Hang was full of anxiety, but he did not dare to continue.

“Who knows what?”

The prince’s complexion could not help but a subtle change at this time, he suddenly looked at the third prince Duguke, his eyes seemed to shoot poisonous arrows. But Duguke just sits and drinks without even lifting his eyelids. The prince’s eyes grew colder and colder, but now he did not dare to speak. If he acted rashly, he might even cause trouble to his upper body.

But Pei Xuan… he doesn’t know how much effort and means it took to get him to agree to cling to, so fiercely, how can he be willing!

Jiang Xiaolou’s expression was extremely calm, and his eyes were full of indifference. An Xiaoshao deliberately sat next to her just now, and could not help but approached at this moment: “What happened to Pei Xuan, did you use your hand?”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly: “Xiao Shao is too suspicious. Pei Xuan is a great minister, so how dare I wrong him.” “You are bolder than anyone else!” An Xiaoshao couldn’t help but said.

Jiang Xiaolou sighed slightly: “Everyone has to pay for the mistakes they make, but it’s only time.”

Li Hang bowed his head and said: “Who knows that General Pei killed him instead, and put on his head the charge of refusal to surrender. He killed all the surrendered sergeants just to build merits. He was worried that the people would leak their secrets. , Even three thousand innocent people… were killed as a rebellious pit!”

The emperor couldn’t believe it, even if he killed the general, he actually killed innocent people. How arrogant is Pei Xuan!

Li Hang’s eyelids trembled slightly: “Your Majesty, for many years, my military exploits in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been calculated based on the number of heads of rebel generals killed, so Pei Xuan had to resort to this in order to falsely report military exploits and win more honors. He killed. Meng Huo, Your Majesty Long Xin Joy, will surely promote him–”

With a “bang”, the emperor slammed heavily on the table, his face turned extremely cold.

The crown prince quickly got up and said to the emperor: “Father, General Pei was also confused for a while…that’s what happened.”

When the emperor turned his head, he was almost roaring: “A moment of confusion? A moment of confusion! His moment of confusion is to pretend to be a leader in the military. His moment of confusion has made me difficult day and night now! I also intend to forgive him for his past military achievements. Forgive him for his death. From now on, it seems that we can’t allow such a thief to mess with me!”

There was a slight melancholy on the face of the prince, such a general, what a pity!

Duguke interrupted the prince’s words unhurriedly: “His Royal Highness, state-owned, state-owned, national laws, and family rules, how your Majesty will deal with the courtiers, how can your Royal Highness be so anxious? Could it be that you are afraid that General Pei will say something bad? , Implicated you?”

The two men were clearly dogs biting, and they dared to pinch them before the emperor’s eyes. Pinch, pinch, the more lively you pinch, the faster Pei Xuan will die.

Sure enough, the emperor furiously said: “Shut up all of you, I have decided, no need to persuade!” After finishing, he waved his hand and said: “Come on, execute Pei Xuan immediately. No, Ling Chi, Ling Chi put to death!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Hearing his own destiny, Pei Xuan’s eyes shot out a terrifying light, and every word was almost squeezed out between his teeth: “If there is no me in this world, who can protect your majesty?!”

“Without you, my country won’t fall!” The emperor’s eyes almost breathed fire, and Pei Xuan’s arrogance made him unbearable.

Pei Xuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, making everyone pale: “Yongjun, you can’t even see other people’s poisonous tricks. He is the number one Yongjun in the world. This is the trap of the Three Princes!”

The emperor’s temple was beating vigorously, and he was furious at this moment: “Quickly, pull him down, pull him down immediately!”

Several armored guards forcibly dragged Pei Xuan off, but he suddenly saw Jiang Xiaolou sitting there. With a move of my heart, the contradictions that I couldn’t think of in my heart were solved at once!

It’s her, it must be her! Xiao Guanxue told him that Jiang Xiaolou had been secretly conspiring to take his own life. He despised women, especially a woman like Jiang Xiaolou from a humble background, but today he knew that his life was destroyed in the hands of this woman! A person who looks so weak and deceptive on the surface is actually a snake-hearted poisonous woman! He yelled violently, broke free, and rushed towards Jiang Xiaolou. An extremely sharp murderous aura hit her face, An Xiaoshao’s body shook in shock, a chill slid over her back, and the wine glass in her hand almost fell to the ground on the spot.

In a twinkling of an eye, Pei Xuan had already killed him like a furious beast, and even passed through the barriers to reach the front of Jiang Xiaolou.

He was unarmed and used his fist as a weapon. This blow was extremely thunderous and exhausted.

At this moment Jiang Xiaolou was sitting there, with nowhere to hide, let alone with Pei Xuan’s martial arts, if she wanted to kill a person, how could she hide? The Hundred-legged Worm died but was not stiff, let alone a hard blow before his death. He was determined to fall to Jiang Xiaolou and die together!

The fist wind is already in front of her, and Princess Qing has forgotten to react in horror.

Jiang Xiaolou opened his eyes, his long eyelashes almost frozen.

In the next instant, the fist disappeared magically.

“Ah!” Pei Xuan screamed, only to feel a huge pain coming from his right arm, and the whole right arm suddenly flew out!

In an emergency, Dugu Liancheng pulled out the long sword of the guard behind him and cut off Pei Xuan’s right arm.

Pei Xuan’s eyes were about to split and he was almost mad in pain. The two armored guards threw out the iron chain and hooked his neck. Pei Xuan still looked like an angry and angry face. He showed his teeth in the rage, and his mouth was already bright red. Even the teeth are broken!

A thrush resting on a branch in the garden ate the shock and flew into the sky in an instant.

Several iron-clad guards rushed over, and only then did they forcefully convince Pei Xuan, who was invincible, but he hadn’t entered for many days and lost an arm. He was unable to exert his strength as before, and was forced by them. Overwhelmed.

Dugu Liancheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Xiaolou.

Jiang Xiaolou just sat quietly, everyone else thought she must have been too scared to move, but Dugu Liancheng knew very clearly that she was smiling.

Although there was a frightened look on her face, the corners of her lips that curled up unconsciously were clearly a strange smile.
