Chapter 399: Xiao Heng

Yu Feng was seriously injured, and he definitely couldn't run around outside these days, so Xiao Mohan instructed Wu Shun and asked Wu Shun to take someone to investigate, and Shao Huaigu was also vigilant to see who came to the capital.

On this day, after the morning court, Shao Huaigu went to the restaurant as usual, and originally thought that everything was as before, but the shopkeeper stuffed him with a letter, saying that it was left by a man, and he wanted to hand it over to Shao Huaigu by name.

Shao Huaigu was also a little puzzled, and took the letter, although this restaurant was his property, it was not shown on the surface, so since the man could send the letter here, he must know something, and he couldn't take it lightly.

Shao Huaigu opened the envelope, only glanced at it a few times, and immediately went to the General's Mansion and found Xiao Mohan.

"General Xiao, something is wrong."

Xiao Mohan looked at Shao Huaigu with a panicked expression, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Xiao Mohan has always been steady, he broke into the palace before, killed Ouyang Kun and Pang Guifei, and he didn't lose his temper, why is it suddenly messed up now?

"Look at this." Shao Huaigu handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Mohan, and when Xiao Mohan saw the content and handwriting on it, his face suddenly sank.

"Sure enough, it's him." Xiao Mohan spit out a few words lightly, he had been guessing the people and horses that had been killed halfway earlier for the past few days, thinking about it, and his thoughts finally stayed on one person.

"The Seventh Prince actually secretly returned to Beijing, he fled to southern Xinjiang for eight years, and there was no news, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has come back again."

Shao Huaigu looked flustered, his face was incredulous, the seventh prince in his mouth was Xiao Heng back then, and he was also Xiao Mohan's imperial brother, and the emperor's uncle today.

"Xiao Heng was originally guilty, the first emperor has been sending people to find his whereabouts a few years ago, but there is no news, I know that he will not live incognito for the rest of his life, it seems that he came back this time to set off a storm in this capital."

Xiao Mo laughed coldly, a touch of cunning appeared in his deep eyes, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were heroic.

"He is not a simple character, this time I invite you to the Changchun Pavilion in the northern suburbs of the capital to see him, and I want to bring Miss Qian, I must not have any good intentions, you must be careful, don't fall for him."

Shao Huaigu thought in his heart, although when Xiao Heng fled back then, he was just a lifter and had not yet entered the court as an official, but he had heard of the tragedy of the nine sons seizing the heir, only one step away, the person who ascended the throne was Xiao Heng, if this was the case, Xiao Mohan was probably not like this now.

"Since he wants to see me, if I hide from me, he will definitely do everything he can to lure me out, rather than defend day and night, it is better to meet him."

Xiao Mohan didn't think so, Xiao Heng's insidious cunning he knew very well, when he was fighting for the throne, Xiao Heng had wooed him more than once, but he refused, so he tried his best to frame him and put him to death, but fortunately in the end, he survived, the defeated person was Xiao Heng, so he became the general of Xiao Guo, and Xiao Heng was a prisoner of the imperial court.

"Then I'll set up manpower around the pavilion in advance in case of emergency."

Shao Huaigu proposed, although he is a civil official, he has a lot of right-hand men under him, and he is the right minister, looking at the official government in the capital, who dares not to listen to his orders?

"No need, you should not know about this, I understand Xiao Heng's temperament, he must be rushing to the throne when he comes back this time, so he will not dare to attack me easily."

Xiao Mohan replied lightly, he is very Xiao Heng is brother, and they both know each other well, if Xiao Heng wants to kill him, he will not issue this invitation, in the same way, if he buries his hands, he will not be able to catch Xiao Heng, so don't do more.

"Then you want to take the money girl as promised?"

Shao Huaigu couldn't help but ask more, Xiao Mohan's martial arts are strong, even if the situation is not good, he can protect himself, but Qian Qianqian is different, she is just a woman, although she can do a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, but it is not of much use at a critical time.

"Of course." Xiao Mohan gently spit out two words, there was no superfluous look on his face, and he spoke lightly, revealing indescribable certainty.

Although Shao Huaigu was a little worried, Xiao Mohan had decided, and he didn't want to say anything more, anyway, Xiao Mohan wouldn't hurt Qian Qianqian anyway.

"I have brought the news, go first, if you have any orders, send someone to find me, I will be waiting for you at any time."

Shao Huaigu paused, and as soon as the words fell, he bowed his head slightly, dragged his inconvenient legs and feet, and turned around and left the general's mansion.

Xiao Mohan looked at the letter, a sneer appeared on his lips, he knew that Xiao Heng would come back, after eight years, Xiao Heng really came back, so it was just right, he could take this opportunity to eradicate Xiao Heng cleanly.

Qian Qianqian was very surprised when she heard the news, what Xiao Heng, she had never heard of it, Xiao Mohan wanted to take her to see such a seventh prince, or in such a desolate place in the northern suburbs of the capital, there must be something hidden in it.

"Who is Xiao Heng? Since he is also a prince, why don't you invite us to meet in those rich and prosperous places in the capital, but invite us to the northern suburbs? ”

Qian Qianqian's doubts in her heart were not clear, so she would not nod her head at all, she stared at Xiao Mohan intently, for fear of missing Xiao Mohan's every move.

"He is indeed the prince, but he is a disgraceful, he was defeated in the struggle for the throne with the first emperor, became a prisoner of the imperial court, fled to southern Xinjiang, and hid for eight years, and now he should know that the first emperor is deceased, and the new emperor ascended the throne, so he dares to come back, do you think, he dares to show up generously in this capital?"

Xiao Mohan explained unhurriedly, although it was just a few simple words, but it also explained the ins and outs of this, which shows that Xiao Heng is indeed not visible.

"I understand, the king is defeated, since he didn't fight for the throne, there is only one way to die, you are on the side of the first emperor, it seems that he is an enemy with you."

Qian Qianqian has always been smart, and in modern times, she has heard a lot of these stories, so she has long been surprised, and she can also understand the stakes.

"Yes, Xiao Heng is insidious and cunning, ambitious, and ruthless, he is really not a good candidate to be the emperor, so I chose the first emperor."

Xiao Mohan nodded slightly, although he didn't fight for the nine sons of the year, he still looked for it among the many royal brothers.

The eight princes in front, except for the first emperor and Xiao Heng, who have some talents, the other few are either stubborn, or cowardly, or arrogant, and have no talent for governing the country, and although the first emperor is suspicious and has mediocre qualifications, he has a heart for the people and is a monarch worthy of assistance.

As for Xiao Heng, although his talent is much stronger than that of the first emperor, he has a gloomy temperament, ruthless and ruthless, once such a person ascends to the throne, no matter how capable he is, it is impossible to think about the people of Xiao State, he may be Mingjun, but it can never be Renjun.

So Xiao Mohan thought about it again, between these two imperial brothers, he chose the first emperor, if it wasn't for his help, the first emperor was not Xiao Heng's opponent at all, and the one who has ascended the throne now will not be the descendants of the first emperor.

"Then he came back this time, probably to seek revenge, it is estimated that his thoughts about the throne are still unbroken, now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the government is not stable, if he comes back at this time to seize the throne, it will be much easier than when the first emperor was there."

Qian Qianqian slowly spoke, her eyes slipped, and she was still a little curious about Xiao Heng, the royal family of Xiao Kingdom, except for Xiao Mohan, she had never seen anyone else, she wanted to see if Xiao Heng's appearance could be compared with Xiao Mohan.

"So he asked Shao Huaigu to give me a post and asked me to take you with me, do you dare to go?"

Xiao Mohan turned his words, his eyes turned to Qian Qianqian, his thin lips were lightly hooked, and there was a trace of evil spirit between his eyebrows.

Qian Qianqian avoided Xiao Mohan's gaze, and her hand unconsciously tightened the clothes on her side, since Xiao Heng was so dangerous, she must not be a simple person, if she went, if something happened, she probably wouldn't be able to come back.

"What am I afraid of? You are a general, your life is much more valuable than mine, you dare to go, can I still be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart for a while, but she still raised her head strongly, at this time, she must not let Xiao Mohan look at her, Xiao Mohan is not afraid, and she cannot be afraid.

"Alright, you'll come with me tomorrow."

This is exactly what Xiao Mohan wants, he knows Qian Qianqian's personality, so he deliberately said this to stimulate Qian Qianqian, it seems that as he expected, Qian Qianqian took the bait.

In this way, Qian Qianqian had no room to refuse, but just watched Xiao Mohan walk away.

wanted to go to see Xiao Heng, Qian Qianqian didn't know how to dress up, just let the maid comb her ordinary hair bun, the secret weapons that Xiao Mohan gave her before were still there, and she secretly brought them all, so if something happened at that time, she could protect herself.

"Miss Qian, let's wear this hosta, your hair bun today is simpler, if you wear a golden hairpin, it will inevitably declare a war to seize the master, and it is not quite in line with your own charm."

The maid took off the golden hairpin that Qian Qianqian had inserted herself, and replaced a hosta on Qian Qianqian's head, the golden hairpin was a hidden weapon, Qian Qianqian was just about to stop it, but the maid had already inserted the hosta.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she was indeed much more gentle and pure, not as gaudy as when she wore the golden hairpin just now, Qian Qianqian thought about it, and still left this hosta, anyway, one less secret weapon is nothing.

Wu Shun prepared the carriage and went with Xiao Mohan, in addition to him, there was also Yuan Ying who followed secretly, and the entourage who followed the carriage to protect them, all of them were first-class masters, although there were not many people, but they could block hundreds of people at critical times.

Xiao Mohan lowered his eyes, saw the hosta on Qian Qianqian's hair bun, just pursed his lips and smiled, and then got into the carriage.

"Xiao Heng is your imperial brother, what do I have to say later?"

Qian Qianqian was a little apprehensive in her heart, peeking at Xiao Mohan from time to time, biting her lower lip lightly, and looking at it, it really didn't look like she was going to meet the enemy, but like going to see her in-laws, which was really weird.

"You don't have to say anything, just listen quietly."

Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, his tone was gentle, his expression was indifferent, looking at Qian Qianqian's appearance, he wanted to laugh inexplicably, Qian Qianqian had never been so nervous about business before.

Qian Qianqian didn't know why she was like this, as if since she fell in love with Xiao Mohan, as long as she had a little relationship with Xiao Mohan, she couldn't help but attach importance to it, for fear that something would go wrong.
