Chapter 108: Madame is also a liar
in the hall.
Wang Can looked at the woman opposite with an elegant temperament and a beautiful appearance, and his jaw almost dropped.
I really can't understand that there is such a knowledgeable and pampered noble lady in this group of anti-thieves.
Fortunately, he usually has a very high level of self-cultivation, so he did not lose his temper, and asked with an arched hand: "I am presumptuous, I don't know what the relationship between Mrs. and that Xiaohua Wang is?" β
"Sir is polite, the concubine is my son-in-law... Charge. β
Xiao Xinru returned the salute, and after a while, she reluctantly thought of a reasonable identity, she wanted to say that she was a maidservant, but she was afraid that her status would be low and the other party would be displeased, so she wanted to call herself an elder, but she ruined her innocence by him last night.
"Steward?"
Even though Wang Can's cultivation is high, looking at the noble lady in front of him at this moment, his face is also very exciting.
"Exactly, I don't know your surname?" Mrs. Li had already recovered from the embarrassment just now.
"Don't be surnamed Wang." Wang Can also restrained his expression, although he had countless questions in his heart, he didn't want to lose his manners in front of this noble lady.
"It turned out to be Mr. Wang!"
"Sir, please take a seat, my son-in-law is in a hurry and can't come, I hope Mr. forgive me, I don't know what Mr. is coming this time?"
Xiao Xinru made a gesture of please, and asked directly to the point, obviously wanting to find out the other party's intention as soon as possible, so that he could send someone to report back to Qin Yu.
"Madame, please!"
"I can't hide it, I came here this time because I was entrusted by the Governor, so I hope that Madame will hurry up and inform your Xiaohua King, so that he can come to see me quickly, otherwise I am afraid of a big mistake!"
After Wang Can sat down, he was not verbose, and his tone was with a hint of displeasure, obviously thinking that Xiao Hua Wang was deliberately putting on a show.
If he hadn't known that there were no characters in this gang of thieves who could come to the stage, he would have brushed his sleeves away just by sending a woman.
When Xiao Xinru heard that he was sent by the governor, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly explained: "Don't blame me, sir, my son-in-law was not deliberately neglected, but was injured the day before yesterday and was recuperating in the village, so he sent his concubine to come, I don't know if the governor sent Mr. ...?" After speaking, he looked at him a little nervously.
Wang Can frowned, although he knew that this was the other party's excuse, but he finally had a step down, and it was not good to attack in front of this woman, so he said in a deep voice: "Even so, can Madam be the master?" β
"It's self-done, sir, but it doesn't hurt to say it." In order to find out his intentions, Xiao Xinru also let go.
"Okay, this time I came to persuade you to surrender, as long as your son-in-law is willing to submit to the imperial court, the governor can ignore the past affairs, and you can also make your son-in-law a military attachΓ©."
"I don't know what kind of official it is?"
Xiao Xinru asked excitedly, and the jade hand in front of her involuntarily clenched into a small fist.
"Madame, let's go and report to your son-in-law quickly! Or you can go down to the cottage. β
Wang Can's face was extremely ugly, if it weren't for the fact that the Governor attached great importance to that Xiaohua King, and the other party was so arrogant, he really wanted to leave with his sleeves up.
Mrs. Li also knew that it was very inappropriate for her to get to the bottom of the matter, and when she got here, she should have come to talk to him in detail, but Gongzi left yesterday!
I didn't ask clearly, I sent someone to catch up, and with the character of the son, I was afraid that he would not come back, so he promised a little apologetically: "Sir, don't worry, although the concubine body cannot be completely in charge of this matter, my son-in-law has always obeyed the concubine's words." β
"Oh?"
Wang Can stared at her in surprise this time, seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, thinking of her temperament and appearance, that Xiaohua Wang must be very fond of her, so he hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Madame has such a relationship with that Xiaohua Wang, then I will say it bluntly, the Governor wants to accept your son-in-law as the Governor's standard camp, so that the general can serve him, Madame can understand what I mean?"
"Clearly, let's do it, Mr. is tired from the journey, please rest in the town for a day first, the concubine will order someone to prepare a thin banquet, Qin Wen, take Mr. down to rest quickly, don't slack off."
Xiao Xinru heard that the governor valued the prince so much, so she nodded excitedly, then got up and greeted.
"Hmph, there's no need for a banquet, patience is limited, Madame should hurry up and return to your son-in-law!"
Wang Can's face was blue, he didn't know that he had been deceived by this lady, she could be the master of ghosts, but when he saw several teenagers who crossed the knife coming over, he had to snort coldly and follow them down.
After Xiao Xinru left the hall, she immediately sent two teenagers to ride mules and horses to chase after Qin Yu, afraid that they would not be able to speak clearly, and wrote a letter.
Seeing that it was almost dark, and that King Xiaohua had not yet appeared, Wang Can was completely angry, but seeing that Xiao Xinru had prepared a sumptuous banquet, it was not good to discourage the kindness of others, so he had to suppress his anger.
If it was before, Mrs. Li might have accompanied him to drink two glasses and inquire about the news, but now that she has regarded herself as Qin Yu's woman, it is no longer appropriate to show her face, so she will not accompany the banquet anymore, but just let the two maids serve by the side.
Wang Can originally wanted to ask the lady for some news at the banquet, who would have thought that it would be such a result, seeing that the two maids didn't know anything, he was angry in his heart, if it wasn't late, I was afraid that he would have to leave.
The next morning.
Wang Can saw that King Xiaohua had not yet shown up, and then thought that the town was empty when he arrived, and he was also suspicious in his heart.
"Madam, tell me honestly, is that Xiao Hua Wang not in this Black Rock Town?"
"It's... My son-in-law did have something to go out, and I asked my husband to wait another day. β
Xiao Xinru also knew that she couldn't hide it, after all, no matter how arrogant she was, whether she was willing to accept the court's recruitment or not, she should always appear today.
"Madam, don't you have to tell me that your son-in-law led troops to attack Baokang?"
Wang Can's face changed greatly, staring at her deadly, gritting his teeth.
With the current strength of King Xiaohua, he will naturally no longer work hard and personally fight the bandits and landlords, and Nanzhang County has no movement, and the only explanation is to fight Baokang County.
"Sir, don't think about it, my son-in-law will be back soon." Xiao Xinru was also startled when she saw this person so shrewd, and hurriedly waved her hand.
"Good! What a bold man, you... You guys..."
When Wang Can saw her reaction, he didn't know that he had guessed it, he was anxious and angry, and his beard was cocked angrily.
"Mr. Wang, Gongzi never thought that the imperial court would come to recruit An, I sent someone to inform Gongzi yesterday, I think I have already caught up at this time, it should be too late."
"Humph! I hope that your son-in-law is as knowledgeable about current affairs as his wife, and can turn back in time, otherwise it will be a dead end, if your son-in-law comes back, ask him to come to Nanzhang County to find me! β
Wang Can dropped a sentence and walked away, preparing to return to Nanzhang County first and wait for a day, as for reporting the news, it was obviously too late now.
What's more, he felt that King Xiaohua knew that the Governor wanted to appease him, and he would definitely bring people back, after all, not everyone could become the Governor's standard battalion general.
It's a pity that Qin Yu doesn't catch a cold, and wants to rebel and become the king, and even win the world in the future.
So after receiving the letter, he just sneered, let the two of them return, and told Xiao Xinru to drive the man away, defend the cottage, and continue to march with the army.
Baokang is only 100 miles away from Nanzhang in a straight line, and only 70 or 80 miles away from Blackstone Town.
It's just that there is no official road for horse-drawn carriages to pass, and the mountain road is rugged, and the distance has doubled over the mountains and mountains, so it has only been two days before it arrives.
However, at this time, the army was only more than fifty miles away from the county seat.
