Chapter 117: The Beast's Scheme
Xiao Fengming carefully imprinted a light kiss on Xiao Lingxiao's lips, and then hugged her tightly into his arms.
Xiao Lingxiao was held by Xiao Fengming like this, and suddenly remembered the agreement between her and the fourth prince. If Feng Ming knew about this, I don't know how he would react. Xiao Lingxiao was a little weak-hearted, but this matter had to be told to Feng Ming, Xiao Lingxiao thought about it and decided to find a better time to talk about it.
The eldest lady's miscarriage was not publicized, Xiao Lingxiao asked Bao Rong'er to give Haitang a sum of silver, and sent a few demon wolves to escort their family to a safe place. When Bao Rong'er came back, she told Xiao Lingxiao that Dr. Hua's family disappeared overnight, and Xiao Shuyong did not go back to the eldest lady.
Because Xiao Ranjun said that before, Xiao Lingxiao decided not to care about this matter anymore. The eldest lady naturally won't stop after this incident, Xiao Lingxiao has not fought back with all her strength because she was pregnant, and now that she has even given up the child in her womb, Xiao Lingxiao has decided not to be merciful anymore.
In the blink of an eye, it is about to be the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Xiao Lingxiao has been brewing for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to tell Xiao Fengming about her agreement with the fourth prince. To Xiao Lingxiao's surprise, Xiao Fengming seemed to have known about this for a long time, and his reaction was very calm.
Xiao Fengming saw that Xiao Lingxiao seemed to be very puzzled, so he had to recruit from the truth, "What you said to the four princes that day was all heard by the secret guards......"
Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and thought to herself, she had been troubled for so long, how could she forget that this guy had planted so many "eyeliner" around her.
But since Xiao Fengming didn't make a fuss, Xiao Lingxiao was also relieved.
After nightfall, Xiao Fengming was driven out by Xiao Lingxiao after lying in the Qinghe Courtyard for a while, he returned to his residence, and immediately several black-clothed people followed him out of the dark and followed him into the house.
"Young master, the master is urgent, this time we really can't delay any longer!" One of the guards said this, and fell to his knees with a thud. As soon as he knelt like this, several other people behind him also fell to their knees.
Xiao Fengming frowned and glanced at them, and said in a deep voice with some impatience, "If you go to reply, just say that if he can't wait, don't wait." ”
The dark guards were all shocked when they heard this, "Young master! The secret guard led by him was so emotional that he couldn't hold back it, and blurted out, "Is that woman really worthy of the young master's abandonment of the people of the country!" ”
After saying this, the secret guard immediately felt a murderous aura of sweat bursting out of Xiao Fengming's body, and the few people who were shocked couldn't help but lower their heads. The secret guard who spoke hurriedly kowtowed, "The subordinates lost their words, please ask the young master to surrender!" ”
However, after a long time, I heard Xiao Fengming speak indifferently, and said softly as if talking to himself, "The people of the country are in the emperor's heart, but she is in my heart." ”
After saying this, Xiao Fengming took a deep breath, then resumed his cold voice, and said to several secret guards, "Have you found out the identities of those people who were ambushed around Chufu Tower?" ”
The secret guard led by the leader immediately replied, "Several great forces of the Wuqi Kingdom have ambushed people there, the most flamboyant of which is King Mude's subordinates, the second of the four princes, and the most cautious is the emperor's own people. In addition to them, there are also activities in various countries, but there are no major moves. The guards inside the Chufu Mansion were too strict to find out what they had prepared. ”
"Have you identified the person who clashed with us?"
On the night when the eldest lady made a fuss, the reason why Xiao Fengming left in a hurry was precisely because the people he ambushed around the Chufu Building clashed with another group of people.
The dark guard frowned, looked up at Xiao Fengming, and said with a very solemn expression, "Those people ...... It's a witch cult. ”
Xiao Fengming couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
I listened to the dark guard continue, "The subordinates and the dragon will be willing to protect the young master, but the young master, you also know that the dragon will be proficient in martial arts, but he is not allowed to be contaminated with any witchcraft, and the subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to deal with the methods of the witch sect." Young master, if your identity is exposed, then it will be too late to regret it, please think twice about it, and return to Xuehan Country as soon as possible! This is not only the owner's will, but also for your safety! ”
"I have my own opinions, so I don't need to say more." Xiao Fengming was a little impatient and waved his hand to drive them out.
But the dark guard was even more anxious when he saw this, "Young master! Think again! ”
"Enough!" Xiao Fengming glared at him and said angrily, "Is the mere witch sect scaring you all!" I've got a way to deal with them, so get out! ”
The secret guards rarely saw Xiao Fengming angry, and at the same time, they were surprised by his sentence "There is a way to deal with the witch cult". The methods of the witch cult are known to everyone in the Xuehan country, and these dragons will be invincible against ordinary people, but once they encounter the witch cult, they will all be gone, so the dragon generals hate the witch cult to the core, and they are also very afraid. The secret guards looked at each other, and when they saw that Xiao Fengming's face was not good, they all suppressed their curiosity and obediently withdrew.
On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Xiao Fengming appeared in the Qinghe Courtyard early in the morning, Xiao Lingxiao saw that he brought good snacks to offer courtesy, and asked in a deep voice with a stiff face, "Where did you go again?" Didn't you encounter something difficult? ”
It's all because this guy used to come to eat and drink every day, and he didn't see a figure for two days, Xiao Lingxiao was very irritable.
Xiao Fengming pinched his heart and sent it to Xiao Lingxiao's mouth, and said with a smile, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I'll go back to the clan to have a look." There's nothing missing there, but I'll send some new gadgets over, and everyone will be happy. ”
At this time, Bao Rong'er came in with a teapot, and just heard Xiao Fengming say this, and couldn't help glaring at Xiao Fengming.
"Master, this guy didn't tell you the truth. He ran back to the clan to find help, didn't the owner let the wolf brothers who came before? Feng Ming, this guy, called them back again. These people are now being teased by those maids and ladies in the courtyard, and the master has to call the shots for them. ”
Bao Rong'er finished her words without being salty, poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Lingxiao, and stood next to her as if she didn't want to go out.
Xiao Lingxiao ignored the pastry that Xiao Fengming had been holding in front of her, frowned and asked, "Is there something you haven't told me?" ”
Xiao Fengming grinned, "Sister Bao Rong'er has wronged me, those guys are crying and shouting and begging me to bring them back, and the master drove them back, and they are all wronged." ”
Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when she heard this, and then remembered that those demon wolves seemed to show a reluctant expression when they left.
Come back, come back, Xiao Lingxiao sighed and asked Xiao Fengming, "Did you go and tell Xuan about this?" ”
Xiao Fengming nodded seriously, "I brought them here after the patriarch agreed." Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "I heard that the excitement over there in Chufu Building today is a bit strange, it just so happens that the wolf brothers are here, Lingxiao, you might as well bring some as guards." ”
Xiao Lingxiao raised her eyes to look at him, and thought to herself, can I still not know about your little thoughts? It's taken a big turn, but in fact, I just don't worry about me going out alone with the four princes.
"Okay." Although there seems to be no difference between bringing the demon wolves and not, since Xiao Fengming has spent so much effort to go around in circles, Xiao Lingxiao also decided that he didn't know what to do, and went along with his wishes. She opened her mouth to eat the pastry sent by Xiao Fengming, then got up and drove him away happily.
When the sun turned west, the four princes came early to greet Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao's dress is simple and elegant, but it is luxurious, which makes the four princes feel itchy when they look at it.
Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Rong'er took the carriage brought by the four princes, and the demon wolves and others were all dressed as guards and followed on horseback. The four princes also rode on a high-headed horse, majestically guarding the side of the car, swaggering through the city, and heading to Chufu Tower.
After Xiao Fengming sent Xiao Lingxiao out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he rode on a fast horse and quickly disappeared in another direction.
The four princes and their entourage came to Chufu Building, and after getting off the car and dismounting, someone presented an invitation to the four princes, and Xiao Lingxiao and the four princes went in smoothly. Xiao Lingxiao was followed by Bao Rong'er, and the fourth prince was also followed by a very powerful-looking entourage, but other than that, everyone else was blocked out.
Xiao Lingxiao had expected this to be the case for a long time, and she didn't care.
Although this is Xiao Lingxiao's second visit to Chufu Tower, the structure here still surprises Xiao Lingxiao.
Once inside, they were led down a slightly sloping corridor by a squire who led them through a modest room.
This single room is similar to the single room when Xiao Lingxiao came last time, with a small table on the warm couch, which looks elegant and comfortable. The floor-to-ceiling windows are still closed, and Xiao Lingxiao knows that the so-called excitement here must have waited for the time to open the window to watch.
After the two of them sat down, the fourth prince smiled and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Since we agreed to come to this Chufu Building that day, I have been looking forward to coming soon on this day every day. ”
Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help but let down a sigh of relief when she heard his sour words, squeezed out a smile, and said, "His Royal Highness is so sentimental. ”
"Not really." The fourth prince smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "I will only be like this when I encounter something related to Ling Xiao." ”
Xiao Lingxiao glanced at him, if he hadn't known his temperament for a long time, he might have been moved by his words. She lowered her head and cursed a few times secretly in her heart, which was considered to relieve her anger.
And her bowing action fell in the eyes of the four princes, undoubtedly shy. The fourth prince smiled secretly, thinking in his heart, Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao, I have been very good to you, but you have rejected me again and again, this time is the last time, I will make you never be able to say a word "no" to me again, and I will let you be my woman obediently!
