Chapter 353: Success or Failure
Xue Tianao listened to Xiao Wanyao's jealous tone, he was stunned at first, and then smiled again, although he was romantic, he was not ridiculous, and on the border between Wei and Yan, how could there be a woman who knew him.
"You're talking nonsense, there's no way a woman will come to me here! I don't have any other women around me but you. Xue Tianao walked up to Xiao Wanyao and said flatteringly. Reaching out and hooking her chin, he said he was about to kiss her.
Xiao Wanyao pushed him away with a wicked smile, "I'm not lying, if you don't believe me, you will go with me to meet?" ”
Xue Tianao paused, thought for a moment, and had the impression that there would really be no woman looking for him, but looking at Xiao Wanyao's serious look, he had doubts in his heart, so he didn't dare to say death directly, "Even if a woman comes to me, maybe it's because of other things, Wanyao, don't think about it, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Xiao Wanyao stood still and watched Xue Tianao go out, he sensed her intentions, then turned around and took her hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go, lest you think about it here, just go with me to meet that woman." ”
Xiao Wanyao did not refuse to come to the front hall with him, and the woman was really still waiting there. Xiao Wanyao's eyes couldn't help but look at Xue Tianao, and saw that his face was slightly stunned, and it seemed that she knew the woman in front of her.
Her hand was still held by him, and when he saw the woman smiling and coming up, she wanted to withdraw her hand but he grabbed it stiffly.
"Your Majesty......" Qimo ran over, thinking that Xue Tianao would be as happy to see each other as he was. However, he looked at Xiao Wanyao on the side with cold eyes.
Xiao Wanyao pouted, and finally gave up withdrawing her hand, Xue Tianao took his eyes off her body, glanced at Qimo, and then pulled Xiao Wanyao towards the hall.
Qimo stared at the two intimate people, his face suddenly sank, and he pursed his lips, but he still followed in cheekily, "Your Majesty, I heard that you came here from the palace, and I rushed here to find you immediately." ”
Xue Tianao sat down and pulled Xiao Wanyao to let her sit on one side as well, but her hand still held her, Xiao Wanyao tried several times but finally gave up.
"Did you come here to find me for something?" Xue Tianao said indifferently. He would only know Qimo because of the licorice incident before, but since the last time he was in Bazhou, he took Qimo out of the palace, and then let Qimo go back to her cottage, where there is still her family.
didn't expect her to appear here, Xiao Wanyao's jealous appearance just now was indeed very cute, but he was still a little unbearable, and he didn't have any feelings for Qimo, but this little girl had said that she wanted to stay by her side.
"It's nothing, I just missed you, so I came over to see you. When you were in the palace, I couldn't get in, and I didn't like it there, so this time you went out, and I came to see you. Qimo pursed her lips and said.
She knew that Xue Tianao had just pity for her before, and she had no children's love at all, but she just fell in love with him and liked him, so no matter who she was, she didn't want to get rid of her. She had already taken this into account before coming here, Xue Tianao was the emperor, there must be many women around him, and she accepted them all.
Xue Tianao was very indifferent to her words, but after Xiao Wanyao heard her words, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a faint smile, turned her head to look at Xue Tianao, and then got up, "Since I came to find you all the way, then I'll leave first." Tell me what you have first. ”
Xue Tianao pulled Xiao Wanyao's hand down, but this time Xiao Wanyao was stubborn and had to leave. Qimo also saw this scene, what she was waiting for was to let the woman leave, and then talk to Xue Tianao about herself.
However, she saw Xue Tianao also stand up, "I don't have anything to say to her." Then he looked at Qimo, "This is a place of right and wrong, you better not stay here." I'll let Fei Mo get you out of here in a moment. Go back to your cottage. ”
After that, he took Xiao Wanyao's hand and turned around and left the hall indifferently.
Xiao Wanyao glanced back at the woman, and saw her standing there with an aggrieved face, as if she was about to cry. Then he tugged at Xue Tianao's sleeve and chuckled, "You just left a girl there?" People come all the way here to find you. No matter how you say it, it's just a girl, I'm afraid it's not good that you're so indifferent. ”
Xue Tianao suddenly stopped and glanced back at her with a faint smile on his face, "So, you mean you want me to keep her?" Leave her in the barracks with me? So what should you do if you were so jealous just now? With that, he directly picked up her chin and kissed her.
Xiao Wanyao wanted to dodge, after all, in this public, maybe someone would see her, but Xue Tianao didn't follow her this time, and just lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. This scene was seen by Qimo, who was still standing in the distance and did not leave.
Although Qimo is not a daughter, she is also a person who is spoiled by her parents in the cottage, seeing that Xue Tianao is not only very indifferent to herself, but also shows affection to that woman in front of her, when she thinks of Xiao Wanyao's appearance just now, she is angry in her heart.
But now she has nothing to do, people don't want her, so she stomped her foot angrily and turned around and ran out. Looking at Qimo's departing back, Xiao Wanyao smiled lightly, "You deliberately want to make her angry, right, when will you show mercy everywhere?" I thought you only raised so many women in the harem, but I didn't expect there to be a lot outside the palace. ”
Xiao Wanyao was very angry in her heart, but she didn't want Xue Tianao to feel that she had a small belly, but she couldn't help but not be angry, so in Xue Tianao's opinion, Xiao Wanyao at this time was like an angry little daughter-in-law, jealous but didn't know how to speak.
He smiled at her cute appearance, "Speaking of which, I was able to know her because of licorice." ”
Mentioning licorice, Xiao Wanyao's heart was cold, and her face sank, licorice was a pain in her heart, and it was also a past she didn't want to remember, "Why does it have anything to do with licorice?" Does she know licorice? ”
Xue Tianao shook his head, and then told Xiao Wanyao how licorice died.
Xiao Wanyao was stunned and said leisurely, "I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the middle." This woman named Qimo dares to love and hate. What are you going to do? ”
"Later, I will tell Feimo to send her back to the capital, she can't stay here." Xue Tianao said.
Xiao Wanyao nodded, this is a place of right and wrong, the relationship between Wei and Yan is so tense, maybe there will be a war when, it is indeed inconvenient for her to stay here, and this time out of the palace, Xiao Wanyao also wants to spend more time with Xue Tianao, and does not want other people to disturb.
If Xue Tianao had no feelings for her, he didn't have to leave her here.
After dinner, Xue Tianao discussed the current matter with several generals, the Yan army repeatedly violated the border of Wei, and if they didn't send troops to give them some color, they really thought that Wei was weak and angry.
Many of the many soldiers proposed to send troops to attack the Yan State and make them suffer a little, otherwise they would really have to ride on the head of the Wei State to and pee.
After Xue Tianao listened to their words, he remained silent, frowning, and it was only two days before Xiao Wanyao said the time.
"Your Majesty, you can't delay any longer. Success or failure is small, and the face of Wei is big. The army of the Yan State has begun to call our Wei army shrinking turtles outside the city. If this continues, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be worn out. One of the battle-hardened soldiers leaned over and said.
Xue Tianao's brows deepened a little, to be honest, this is not his style of fighting, but Xiao Wanyao said to let him wait patiently, wait for another three days, wait for three more days......
"Three days, after three days the army will be dispatched." Xue Tianao said coldly.
Three days, three days later is the day Xiao Wanyao said, but I don't know what will happen. After Xue Tianao came down from the palace, he hurriedly came to find Xiao Wanyao, it was already this time, he wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Wanyao's gourd.
However, when Xue Tianao came to Xiao Wanyao's residence, the room was empty, and he called the maid who came to serve, "Where is Miss Yanran?" ”
"Miss Yanran said that there was something wrong so she went out, and she also said that if Xue Gongzi came to her, let you wait for her here with peace of mind, and she will naturally explain to you when she comes back." The maid said.
Xue Tianao took a deep breath, not knowing what she was doing, "Okay, it's none of your business here." You go first, I'll wait here for her to come back. ”
The waiting maid put the tea on the table beside Xue Tianao, and then turned around and retreated. Xue Tianao drank tea while waiting for Xiao Wanyao to come back.
In about an hour, Xiao Wanyao walked back from outside with a smile, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xue Tianao sitting there, so she walked over with a smile, "You really came to me, how long have you been waiting here?" ”
Xue Tianao glanced at Xiao Wanyao, looked at her carefully from top to bottom, with a touch of reproach, "You are dressed in men's clothes, what are you doing when you go out?" Why don't you tell me in advance? ”
"It's true that there are some things to deal with, and men's clothing will be more convenient. So I put it on. Saying that, Xiao Wanyao also turned around in front of Xue Tianao's eyes, "How about it, my men's clothes are also graceful enough, right?" ”
Xue Tianao's eyes sank, ignoring her, "What did you go out for?" Do you have any guards with you? Do you know that there is chaos here, and you don't know martial arts, it will be very dangerous to go out so late, even if there is something, it is not too late to do it when I come to discuss! ”
Xue Tianao was blaming on the one hand, and worried on the other, Xiao Wanyao didn't care, and walked up to him with a smile, "I have captured a few people for you, these people are very important, so now you need to go and see for yourself." After that, I'll tell you what I'm going to do next. ”
Without waiting for Xue Tianao to say anything, Xiao Wanyao had already grabbed his arm and walked outside. Xiao Wanyao rarely does this in front of Xue Tianao, and she always feels that since she left the palace, Xiao Wanyao's whole person has become much more cheerful, she has more time to laugh, and her mood seems to be much better.
Especially when dealing with Xue Tianao, he was much more active than when he was in the palace.
Xue Tianao pursed his lips and followed Xiao Wanyao to the outside of an idle house, the house was already full of guards, Xue Tianao was stunned at first, he didn't remember ordering someone to take care of this place, and then asked, "The people you captured are locked up here?" Who is it? With so many guards to look after it, it seems to be very important. ”
"In terms of identity, they are just ordinary people, but in terms of value, they determine the success or failure of your attack on Yan this time. Let's go, we'll see them and you'll know. ”
Chapter 354: An Unsolvable Crisis
Xue Tian raised the corners of his mouth proudly: "What?" You're still selling me off? ”
Xiao Wanyao smiled evilly: "That's it, what can you do?" ”
Xue Tianao smiled and gently scratched Xiao Wanyao's nose with his slender fingers: "What can I do with you?" Of course, I want you to show me. ”
Xiao Wanyao raised her chin slightly proudly, pulled him forward.
After taking two steps, the wind suddenly rose, Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao subconsciously covered their eyes with their sleeves, only to hear a commotion around them suddenly, the sound of swords drawn and footsteps came one after another, and then they heard the guards guarding the door shouting: "There are assassins!" ”
Xue Tianao and Xiao Wanyao only woke up from a dream at this time - their whereabouts were leaked, and they were ambushed!
The wind passed quickly, but the fight had just begun, and there were about thirty people on the other side, all dressed in black, and it could be seen that they were well-trained on weekdays, and they should be a professional killer group trained by a certain killer organization.
Xue Tianao and Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, but glanced at each other silently, they all saw these in their eyes, in addition to each other's identities, they also knew a little bit in their hearts.
The employer should be someone from Yan Kingdom, right, they are ambushed here, mostly for the people imprisoned in the house.
Although the fight was tragic, but fortunately, there were heavy guards here, Xue Tianao protected Xiao Wanyao with one hand, and retreated to a safe place, seeing that the number of people in black was less than half of what he had just now, Xue Tianao was slightly relieved in his heart.
Xiao Wanyao frowned, how could she be followed by the killer when she came out cautiously this time? Besides, although this is the border, it is still the territory of Wei, if it is really the Yan people who are operating behind the scenes, then which killer organization in Wei will obey them?
"Wan Yao be careful." Xue Tianao instructed in a low voice, and then pulled out the saber on his body and stabbed the assassin beside Xiao Wanyao to death, blood splashed on Xiao Wanyao's sleeve, and she completely woke up from her trembling mind at this time.
Looking around again, there were only three men left in black.
The guards had a clear advantage, surrounding the three Assassins, and all they had to do was swing their swords - to kill all the remaining Assassins.
"Keep your mouth alive!" Xue Tianao opened his mouth, but Xiao Wanyao shouted out one step ahead of him, but the strange thing was that the guards did not make a move, and the three assassins did not hesitate to kill themselves!
"Huh!?" Xiao Wanyao was surprised, although the killer has his own industry rules - after being caught, he will not leave a living mouth and will not reveal the secrets of his employer.
But it was all at the last minute, and now that there were three of them left, it was not considered to be put to death, and there was no need to kill themselves at this time.
Although it depends on the situation, the three killers will die sooner or later, but this detail makes Xiao Wanyao quite concerned in her heart.
"It doesn't make sense!" Xiao Wanyao thought silently in her heart.
But all the killers are dead, and the unrest has subsided, the sound of swords has stopped, and the smell of blood fills the alley.
Fei Mo quickly got the news, led a group of henchmen to come, and knelt in front of Xue Tianao: "The subordinates are late to save the car, and they will be punished heavily." ”
Xue Tianao waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "There is no need for punishment, the world is unpredictable, and you are not an immortal...... Find out where the killers came from, what their purpose is, and who their employer is. ”
"Yes." Fei Mo led the way.
"One more thing." Xue Tianao said, "Go and count the dead and injured guards, give a certain amount of compensation, and all the guards present today have been rewarded for their meritorious rescue." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Wanyao's brows stretched slightly after hearing this, it seems that Xue Tianao really began to know how to be an emperor, being an emperor is not only to be able to kill and decide, but also to know how to win people's hearts, not only to be atmospheric, but also to be delicate, the art of the emperor is like this.
"Go back, I'm really not in the mood to watch it, at least not today." Xue Tianao said to Xiao Wanyao, because it was close, Xiao Wanyao could hear Xue Tianao's faint sigh.
Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, just took Xue Tianao's arm and nodded gently, and then followed Xue Tianao out of this bloody alley, and returned to the hotel under the escort of the guards.
After returning to the hotel, Xiao Wanyao separated from Xue Tianao and went back to her residence first, she instructed the maid to boil water to bathe herself, and she couldn't wait to take off her coat.
The blood stained on her clothes has turned black and red, weird and distorted, Xiao Wanyao frowned slightly, she has been feeling uneasy since she was assassinated today, and she is even more upset when she sees the black and red blood stains on her clothes.
"Miss Yanran, you can take a bath." The maid stepped forward and said.
Xiao Wanyao nodded, then pointed to the shirt she took off, and said, "You go and dispose of this shirt, I don't want to see it again." ”
After the maid left, Xiao Wanyao went into the house to bathe, and her body was completely soaked in the warm water with flower petals, Xiao Wanyao felt that her tense nerves were slightly relaxed, and the aroma diluted the smell of blood on her body.
Then he changed into clean clothes, and Xue Tianao sent someone to invite Xiao Wanyao over to have dinner together.
When Xiao Wanyao arrived, Xue Tianao had been sitting at the table waiting for her for a while, there were just the two of them in the room, and there were sumptuous dishes on the table, Xue Tianao saw Xiao Wanyao and hurriedly beckoned her to come over.
"How about you taste this crystal shrimp dumpling?" As soon as Xiao Wanyao sat down, Xue Tianao personally picked up vegetables for her to eat.
"It's fresh but not greasy, and it tastes good." Xiao Wanyao said after tasting it.
"Then you can try this winter melon and shrimp soup again. The shrimp in this season is fresh and fatty, do you taste the taste, and tell me if it is authentic? Xue Tianao watched Xiao Wanyao eating shrimp dumplings, and then served her winter melon and shrimp soup for another night.
"It's delicious, it looks like the dishes on this big table are all carefully prepared by you, and your mind is here, do you think it can be delicious?" Xiao Wanyao said with a smile.
"Eat more if it's delicious, this is not a palace, and it's not so particular." Xue Tianao smiled brightly when he heard this, and then gave her a lot of delicious food.
Xiao Wanyao did not refuse, indeed as Xue Tianao said, there are not so many cumbersome etiquette that needs to be followed, and there is no heavy intrigue, which also makes her feel good and eats more than before.
Xue Tianao watched Xiao Wanyao eat happily, and his mood improved a lot.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Wanyao was a little embarrassed to look at her, so she restrained a little, put down the chopsticks in her hand and said.
Xue Tianao's smile did not relent, and only said: "I suddenly feel that this is also a kind of happiness, thinking about whether I eat alone on weekdays, or eat with those pretending concubines, it is really boring, and now I feel that I have an appetite when I see you eating like this." This is real life, and it would be nice to do it every day in the future! ”
Xiao Wanyao laughed while adding vegetables to Xue Tianao's bowl, and then said, "If I eat like this every day, wouldn't I be too fat to walk?" ”
Xue Tianao smiled, scratched Xiao Wanyao's nose with his hand, and said, "What if you're fat?" Fat you, thin you, whatever kind of you, I like it. ”
"It's already the Ninety-Five, and you still like to talk nonsense." Xiao Wanyao's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and she said angrily.
Xue Tianao was so proud that he didn't mind Xiao Wanyao saying this, he smiled and was about to say something more, but the voice of the little eunuch came from the door: "Holy Lord, Lord Feimo asks to see you." ”
Xue Tianao restrained his smile and replied, "Let him come in." ”
The news of the little eunuch spread quickly, and Fei Mo also came in quickly, kneeling on the ground and saluting Xue Tianao.
"Subordinates see the saint."
And Xue Tianao happened to finish eating, and after pouring himself a cup of tea and taking a sip, he asked unhurriedly: "Come here at this time, what's the matter?" ”
"This ......" Fei Mo spoke hesitantly, as if he had scruples, he looked up at Xue Tianao, and then at Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanyao is not a fool, of course she knows that Feimo has something to say, but it is inconvenient for her to be present and listen, so she put down the chopsticks in her hand and got up and said, "Then it's better for me to leave first, you can talk." ”
"She's not an outsider, so it's okay." Xue Tianao pressed Xiao Wanyao's shoulder and motioned for her to sit down, and then said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"Yes." Fei Mo said, "Your Excellency, Fang Cai's subordinates went down to investigate the assassination, and a total of seventeen guards were killed, and twenty-three others were injured. ”
Xue Tianao may not be too interested in this news, so he looked expressionless about this matter, but he still said patiently: "These are not big deals, I have explained it, just let you deal with it yourself, is there anything more important?" ”
At this time, Feimo glanced at Xiao Wanyao again, and then spoke in a hurry: "Yes, yes, but it involves Miss Yanran...... The subordinates didn't know how to talk about it. ”
Xiao Wanyao was shocked, what does this matter have to do with herself? But he is doing the right thing, and he is not afraid of being said.
"You tell the truth." Xiao Wanyao stabilized her mind and said.
Xue Tianao was also stunned when he heard this, but seeing that Xiao Wanyao didn't shy away, he didn't care, so he said, "You just tell the truth." ”
Fei Mo nodded, knelt on the ground and said: "On the sage, the subordinates of the killer organization have been found, it is a secret organization that often appears on the border between Yan and Wei, called 'Spring Bamboo Shoots', I heard that it was only established in recent years, the scale is not large and very secret, who the owner is and who the owner is, this qiē is a mystery." ”
"Spring bamboo shoots? This name is interesting, this organization really popped up like mushrooms after a rain......" Xue Tian raised his eyebrows proudly, it was the first time he had heard about spring bamboo shoots, he was both taboo and a little curious about this killer organization that suddenly broke into sight, so he asked, "Then what is their purpose?" ”
Fei Mo was a little embarrassed, but still said: "These are all ordered by his subordinates to find out, and the truth is unknown for the time being." ”R1154
