Chapter 178: True Purpose
The love in King Chu's eyes made Jiang Xiaoyu's nervous heart relax, and she remembered that when she came to King Chu's Mansion when she was a child, she liked to be coquettish in his arms, and compared with that time, he had not changed at all.
Suddenly, a sour feeling welled up in his nose, and Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Uncle! ”
King Chu smiled slightly, walked over and patted Jiang Xiaoyu's head, and said softly: "Silly boy, you have suffered all these years!" ”
"Although people's hearts are thin and cold, I feel warm in my heart when I think of my uncle and Zhao Ling treating me as before!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled a little shyly, "Ten years can indeed change a lot of things, but there are still some things that time can't change!" ”
"Kid, I know all the things you have to do!" The King of Chu said kindly, his thick voice gave people a kind of calming power, "You are a brave child!" There are some things that don't need to be said, but remember, I will always be there for you! ”
"Thank you!" Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyes and looked at the King of Chu, "I used to be desperate, I used to think that there are no good people in this world, now I understand that although this world is unbearable, but the beauty still exists, I will always struggle with hope, know that the truth of those dust, let the world know, know to let those filthy tricks be spurned by the world!" ”
"You are the granddaughter of General Bai, and the blood you shed will not allow you to live in peace!" King Chu sighed softly, "Even if the road ahead is full of hardships and dangers, you young people will also move forward!" I admire you very much about this, and I think the hope of the future of Da Zhou is also in you, evil is invincible, this is the truth of the world! ”
His smile was slightly bitter: "But you have to be careful!" Take good care of yourself, take good care of the injuries on your body, and wait for this time next year, you can marry into the family, these are the wishes of the princess, if you know that you are still married to the prince, you will be happy! ”
A flush floated on Jiang Xiaoyu's face, she bit her lip and nodded.
"Alright, it's not early, let's go back and rest!" The King of Chu said kindly, "Remember one thing, anything that seems chaotic has a source, as long as that source is found, everything can be solved!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu frowned slightly and didn't understand, but he still kept this sentence in his heart, and after saying goodbye to the King of Chu, Jiang Xiaoyu returned to Jiangfu, now the other party's purpose is not clear, and the next move has to be based on the other party's actions.
The next morning, news came from the Criminal Department, and in fact the news came from the Chu Palace.
The Criminal Department found out that Jiang Yuan, who was the secretary of the household department, had made a false account for the military department, and this account was finally found on the body of the Xiaocai battalion, and it turned out that a military expenditure passed through Zhao Ling's hand, but this military expenditure was missing. In the future, Weng and his son-in-law joined forces to embezzle military spending, which is not so unacceptable to say.
Although the second prince has no military power, but as the deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Zhao Ling, who is in love with Jiang Shuai and father and son, finally aroused their vigilance, and the recent several actions, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has played a pivotal role.
"It turns out that you want to kick Zhao Ling out of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion?" Jiang Xiaoyu squinted slightly, "Zhao Ling will definitely not be in the same league as his father, so was this fake ledger forged by his father or did someone forge it and frame the two of them, was his father framed with Zhao Ling, or did he also take the initiative to participate in it?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu pressed her temples, she naturally knew that Jiang Yuan couldn't be so clean, if he took the initiative to make a false account to wronged Zhao Ling, he didn't have the guts, there must be someone behind him, and there was also a possibility that he helped the military department to make a false account, but he didn't know that in the end, this matter would be found on Zhao Ling's body.
Since the opponent has made this move, then he must have made sufficient preparations, and this plan must have been brewing a long time ago, and it was only taken advantage of this opportunity to start.
Since they were trying to get along with Zhao Ling, she didn't mind making this trip even more muddy, so that no one would benefit!
After breakfast, the old lady sent someone to invite Jiang Xiaoyu to go, and after she refused, she went directly to the Chu Palace.
Although he has been involved in right and wrong, Zhao Ling can be regarded as very calm and relaxed, practicing calligraphy at the desk.
"You're calm enough!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled from afar.
"This time you look away, I'm not calm, on the contrary, I'm angry now!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "They can frame me for anything, but not the part of the cavalry camp!" The Xiao Cavalry Battalion is a god-like existence in the hearts of the entire Great Zhou Sergeant, and it is also the belief of the Great Zhou Sergeant to enter the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and now this god-like place will actually have this kind of dirty thing, no matter what the truth is behind, this influence has already come out, and it is not so easy to establish the unstoppable and indestructible influence of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion! ”
Although his words were plain, the anger in his eyes could not be concealed, he paused and continued: "They dare to make a fuss about the Xiao Cavalry Camp because they don't understand the status and role of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, so this time it's not just me who is angry, even Jiang Shuai is only afraid of being angry, and Jiang Shuai is very scary when he arises, they will know what it means to lift the feet of stones!" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered her eyes and admired his handwriting, and praised her in her heart, she was asked by her mother to write, so the font was beautiful, and she herself disliked being too delicate, but his handwriting was different, it could be called Crazy Juan, and she was able to penetrate the back of the paper, "You are so sure, this time the matter will not involve you?" ”
"Nope! The third child has always been rigorous in his work, even if he makes a mistake, he will not really involve himself, and for others, he will not easily let others escape, even if he does not die, he will let that person shed his skin! Even if it is not the third child's game, since the other party has made a move, it must be interlocking! Zhao Ling said, "The enemy is dark and I am clear, how can I be sure that I will retreat with my whole body!" ”
"How are you going to deal with that?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.
"Stir!"
"It's just the same as me!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "Since you won't be happy, then no one should think about it!" The Criminal Department has grown up so openly this time, there must be a mastermind behind it, let's bite the non-compliance of the Criminal Department first, and moreover, since they have found fake ledgers in their father's room, there will be more fake ledgers, true and false, false and true, true and false, false and true, and they will be busy! ”
Zhao Ling nodded on Jiang Xiaoyu's forehead: "Naughty!" ”
He paused and said: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest princess, it is said that you were also invited, someone came to report that she went to Guanyunguan a few days ago, if you don't guess wrong, you should have called Jiang Yiran too, there is no good banquet, you have to be careful!" ”
"Don't worry, I have it in my heart!"
Zhao Ling pinched Jiang Xiaoyu's face, it was a little cold, he kicked her cold hand in his arms again, and said: "When you go out in the future, remember to wear more clothes, don't stand the cold!" ”
"I'll take care of myself, I'm not a kid anymore!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a crescent moon.
After Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling briefly discussed the next plan, the two of them separately arranged the next things.
It's just that Jiang Xiaoyu's mind tomorrow is only afraid that it will be put elsewhere, the eldest princess's birthday banquet, I am afraid that it is extraordinary, and she has to treat it with 120,000 spirits.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaoyu was pulled up by Yan Yan to dress up, whenever there are many people, she has always wanted to dress up her young lady beautifully, although she can't overwhelm the crowd, at least not to make people laugh.
"Miss, I think you've grown a lot taller!" Yan Yan said when she was sorting out Jiang Xiaoyu's clothes, "When I took this dress for Miss last time, Miss was a lot older, and now it seems that it is just right!" Well...... Boobs seem to be big, too! ”
"Where are you looking, little girl!" Jiang Xiaoyu patted Yan Yan's forehead, she looked at herself in the mirror, "It seems to be a little bigger!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu began to eat a slow breakfast, but she was thinking about two things in her heart, one was what kind of surprise the eldest princess would prepare for her, and the other was what kind of surprise Jiang Yiran would give!
After a while, the little servant came to report that the carriage was ready.
Jiang Xiaoyu got into the carriage and soon arrived at the Dingjun Marquis's mansion, because the eldest princess was noble, the daughter of the Queen Mother, and the wife of the Dingjun Marquis, so there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate her birthday, and when she arrived, the streets were already full of carriages.
"Master!" Lord Qiwen ran over with a smile and hugged her arm, "I knew I would invite you this time, I made a special trip to wait for you here!" ”
"Last time, you told your eldest brother about kung fu, are you okay?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
"What else can I do, he won't really abolish my martial arts, anyway, it's already like this, he can only hope that I practice better, so as not to lose his face!" The county lord of Qiwen stuck out her tongue and said, "By the way, I heard about the Jiang family, okay?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu patted the back of her hand: "You look at me, do you seem to have something?" Rest assured, some are under control! ”
"I just heard that Qingyun is also here, this Qingyun master is Yiran!" Qiwen sighed and said, "Yiran is quite pitiful, but I estimate that she also has some thoughts about facing you in her heart, so I am by your side, if I can resolve your grievances, it is naturally the best, if not, try to avoid your conflicts, to be honest, you are my master, Yiran is also a friend I have known for many years, and I don't want anything to happen to you to live or die!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu just smiled and patted her, but didn't speak, some things are not as simple as she thought.
