Chapter 273: Road Meets a Rogue
So you mean, if you secretly sabotage this marriage, the emperor will not investigate it deeply? ”
Qian Qianqian suddenly raised her eyes, thought in her heart, and looked at Xiao Mohan, she knew in her heart that although the emperor valued Xiao Mohan, he was also guarding against him, if he really married the princess of Yangguo, and joined forces with Yangguo in the future to betray Xiao Guo, it would be a big deal.
"Yes, so this is a good opportunity, not only to show loyalty in front of the emperor, but also to sabotage the central country's strategy, so this accident must be known to the emperor."
Xiao Mohan pursed his lips and smiled, a touch of cunning appeared in his deep eyes, his sword eyebrows were raised lightly, and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was compelling, revealing an indescribable coldness.
"In this way, you have nothing to fear, let it go, just don't let Yang Guo find out the clues, otherwise even if the emperor can open one eye and close one eye, in order to give Yang Guo an explanation, he will have to deal with you."
Qian Qianqian sneered, she understood it clearly, in fact, she was quite curious about today's saint, in her opinion, this emperor was not talented, suspicious, and intriguing, and he really didn't look like a Ming Jun.
"If you are a man, I will definitely let you join the office, give you a position in the court, and let you serve Xiao Guo."
Xiao Mohan's eyes were a little happy, Qian Qianqian once again impressed him, with Qian Qianqian's pattern and strategy, she really didn't look like a country girl.
"I think you want me to work for you, in fact, you have long been dissatisfied with the emperor in your heart, as for why you have been patient until today, there must be your own reasons."
Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan glanced at each other, the smile on her lips became more and more intense, and there was a hint of exploration in her eyes, as if she wanted to see through Xiao Mohan.
"I have always had no intention of the throne, cultivating my own power, but I just want to protect myself, although the emperor is very important to me at the moment, but I still have a problem with me in my heart, only if I have real power in my hands, and I hold the power of the army, the emperor does not dare to touch me."
Xiao Mohan's expression was calm, he spoke categorically, his tone was gentle, but it was full of weight, he knew in his heart from the time when the new emperor ascended the throne a few years ago that this third emperor brother was unreliable, so he had been fighting on the frontier, holding the military power tightly, so that his body fell ill.
Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, and her heart suddenly understood, and at the same time she had a deeper understanding of Xiao Mohan, sure enough, this man was not as simple as she thought.
"You haven't been out of the house in a few days, I'll take you out for a walk."
Xiao Mohan suddenly looked at Qian Qianqian, and one sentence just hit Qian Qianqian's mind, Qian Qianqian has indeed been stuffy these days.
"Okay, it's just me like this, I ......"
Qian Qianqian lowered her head and looked at herself, her face was now painted like this, if she went out, I am afraid that it would scare passers-by outside, and it would also make Xiao Mohan be pointed at.
"You go back to the room first to change your clothes, and Xue Yi will dress up for you." Xiao Mohan's eyes did not have the slightest wave, although he was not a lustful person, but Qian Qianqian's face at the moment was really unbearable to look at.
Qian Qianqian did what Xiao Mohan said, Xue Yi found her a men's dress, the pockmarks on her face were still there, Xue Yi put a hat on her, and covered her face with a black veil, if she didn't take off the hat herself, she wouldn't be discovered.
"Miss Qian, if you are dressed like this, you will definitely not be recognized when you walk on the street."
Xue Yi stood in front of the bronze mirror, tied the green silk to the back of her head for Qian Qianqian, and there was a little smug in her tone.
Qian Qianqian was still a little surprised, she thought that Xue Yi was a person who practiced martial arts, and she was not very good at dressing up this kind of girl's family, but she didn't expect that Xue Yi's hands were more clever than the maids in the house, and she could do anything.
"Won't you go out with me?"
Qian Qianqian stood up and saw that Xue Yi had no intention of leaving, so she couldn't help but ask.
"The general wants to take you out of the house alone, and your subordinates won't follow, with the general here, you won't be in any danger."
Xue Yi bowed slightly, sent Qian Qianqian out of the door, and said very firmly.
Xiao Mohan also changed his clothes, although it was still a dark robe, but there was no embroidered gold thread python pattern on it, and he looked much more low-key, if he didn't have such a good appearance and extraordinary temperament, just looking at the dress, it would really make people think that he was just a son of a rich and noble family.
Qian Qianqian pretended to be a small servant and followed behind Xiao Mohan, the two went out from the back door and walked to the side of the street, Qian Qianqian lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Have you heard? General Xiao is going to marry the princess of the Yang Kingdom, we have been fighting with the Yang Kingdom for so many years, if General Xiao marries the princess, probably there will be no more wars in the future. ”
"Who knows, General Xiao is the hero of our Xiao country, if it weren't for him all these years, the thieves of the central country would have been killed long ago, and the wolf ambition of the people of the central country is to marry the princess to General Xiao, maybe there is some bad idea in their hearts."
Many people on the street gathered together in twos and threes, all talking about Xiao Mohan's marriage, and now the relationship between Xiao Guo and Yang Guo is delicate, and the slightest disturbance will make these people suspicious.
"Alas, if the princess is as beautiful as a flower and charms General Xiao, who else can Xiao send to fight if Yang Guo fights again in the future?"
"I heard that the central country is barbaric, and it must not be able to give birth to many beautiful women, even if it is a princess, it should be nothing more than that, General Xiao has been fighting abroad for many years, how can he be so easily fascinated by a woman? Don't worry about it. ”
Several people secretly speculated again, and Qian Qianqian couldn't help but smile on her lips when she heard it.
Xiao Mohan remained silent, ignoring the suspicions of those people, his reputation in the capital was not as good as Lianzhou, so many people in the capital did not know him, only that he was handsome and chic, and his military achievements were impressive.
"These people talk about you like this, don't you want to go up and explain it?"
Qian Qianqian kept up with Xiao Mohan's footsteps, and whispered tentatively with interest, with a smile on her eyebrows, revealing a bit of provocation, but the black veil covered her face, and Xiao Mohan couldn't see it.
"How do you want me to explain it?" Xiao Mohan didn't look back at all, just spit out a sentence lightly, and walked forward by himself, without the slightest superfluous look on his face.
Xiao Mohan was already tall, and his legs were much longer than Qian Qianqian's, so he took one step and took two steps on top of Qian Qianqian, plus he walked fast again, Qian Qianqian had a hard time following behind.
The streets of the capital were a little crowded, Qian Qianqian struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and suddenly a man walked up to her and bumped into her.
Qian Qianqian's feet were unstable, and she couldn't help but take half a step back, Xiao Mohan also turned her head, her sword eyebrows raised slightly, and her face was a little gloomy.
"What are you doing? You don't have long eyes when you walk? The man glared at Qian Qianqian, unceremoniously stretched out his hand to push, Qian Qianqian was caught off guard, and was almost pushed to the ground by him.
"It's clear that you hit me, are you still reasonable?"
Qian Qianqian's heart is not angry, she is not a person who casually goes against the grain, even if the man in front of her is much taller and stronger than her, she has no fear.
"Which eye did you see that I hit you? Obviously, you don't walk long, and you have damaged my clothes, don't talk nonsense, lose money! ”
The man did not give up, pointing to the folds on his body, and his face was fierce.
"This is so unreasonable, the sky is white, you are making money on the street, is there really no royal law in this capital?"
Qian Qianqian frowned tightly, her face behind the black gauze was already angry, her hands were clenched into fists, I really didn't expect that after crossing here, she would actually experience a "touch porcelain" alive. ”
"Hmph, you tell me about the royal law, and I'll let you see what the royal law is today."
The man rolled up his sleeves and threw his fist at Qian Qianqian, and was about to throw his fist on Qian Qianqian's face, when his wrist was suddenly choked.
The man's body stiffened, and he turned his head slowly, only to see a resolute and cold face, murderous in his deep eyes, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which made people shudder.
As soon as Xiao Mohan exerted a little force, the man fell to the ground, clasping his arms and shouting repeatedly, and the ferocity just now was gone.
"You, you dare to be so unreasonable to me, you wait for me."
The man awkwardly got up from the ground, pointed at Xiao Mohan's face, trembling with anger, his face was flushed, and he jumped up and down in front of Xiao Mohan, like a harlequin.
Xiao Mohan put his hands behind his back, looked at the man coldly, his thin lips were sharp, his eyes were deep, and he was about to raise his feet and walk towards the man, but the man was shocked, immediately turned around, and disappeared into the flow of people.
Qian Qianqian looked at the man's actions, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, she was really a bully who was afraid of the soft and the hard, she only dared to play majestic in front of her, and when she met Xiao Mohan, she didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Mohan walked in front of Qian Qianqian, just stared down at Qian Qianqian, and did not show how enthusiastic he was about Qian Qianqian, after all, Qian Qianqian was his little servant at the moment.
"It's okay, that person, he won't come back to retaliate."
Qian Qianqian shook her head, and at the same time she was a little worried, looking at the man's dress just now, he should be a rich child, so he would come to seek revenge.
"He's coming, what's so scary about that kind of goods?"
Xiao Mohan looked disdainful, his thin lips hooked slightly, and as soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked straight forward.
Qian Qianqian also felt that Xiao Mohan was right, he was the general of Xiao Guo, no matter what the identity of the man just now, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Xiao Mohan.
"It's them, give it to me!"
A moment later, a roar suddenly appeared behind Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian, they stopped at the same time, turned their heads to look, and saw that the man just now led a team of people, crossed their waists, and pointed at them arrogantly.
These people all had weapons in their hands, and rushed straight towards Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian, Xiao Mohan immediately protected Qian Qianqian behind him and blocked them.
"Hmph, if you dare to offend me, I'll give you some color today."
The man stood aside, sneered, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled up and down, the people he brought were quite kung fu, so he was not Xiao Mohan's opponent, but he could also drag Xiao Mohan for a while.
Qian Qianqian followed Xiao Mohan closely, and sometimes fought with those people, but the taekwondo she learned was nothing in front of these people, so she couldn't help Xiao Mohan too much, and even relied on Xiao Mohan to protect her.
