Chapter 401: Marriage Proposal
Shao Chongxian nominally left first, and once Xiao Jing had an accident, he would have ample alibi evidence.
Not only that, he must have already made arrangements on the Nanxia side, and if nothing else, in the past two days, he should have received the news that Shao Chongxian had returned to Nanxia.
After analyzing this matter, the more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became, but compared to these, Su Xiaojiu was more worried about whether Xiao Jing was injured.
He has been with Emperor Yuanhe for many years, and his reputation for strong martial arts is outside, Shao Chongxian has the heart to kill, and the people he sent are by no means ordinary, which can be seen from dragging Xiao Jing for so many days.
Xiao Jing shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine, but you, how did you get stopped here?"
Both of them were afraid that the other would be worried, so they both avoided the question, and after talking for a long time, they didn't say what exactly happened.
Su Xiaojiu said simply, and said, "Thanks to you for entrusting Lu Cheng before leaving, otherwise I would have arrived in Nanxia at this time." ”
Xiao Jing frowned and said, "If he can be careful, he won't let you suffer this trip." ”
Shao Chongxian ordered someone to assassinate Xiaojiu before he broke it, so even if he got the news that Shao Chongxian had left Dayuan, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and before leaving, he repeatedly explained to Lu Cheng that he would protect her safety, but he didn't expect him to be careless.
Su Xiaojiu only felt that he was a burden, and lowered his head very reproachfully and said, "It's not good to blame me, I shouldn't have provoked him in the Imperial Garden in the first place, so I would have caused such a big trouble." ”
"Fool, if it were only anger with words, he would not have killed people."
But two people who don't know each other, what kind of deep hatred can they have?
Xiao Jing's sentence reminded her of what Shao Chongxian said in the carriage, and she raised her head sharply and said, "By the way, he once said that I was arrested because I ruined his plan, you said that he is a prince of Southern Xia, what plan can be destroyed by a palace maid in Dayuan?"
Not only was she confused, Xiao Jing only felt absurd when she heard it, and subconsciously asked, "Did he really say that?"
"Yes, and no matter how much I asked, he wouldn't say what it was, and I suspected him of paranoia."
Su Xiaojiu unconsciously touched his nose, and suddenly approached him and said, "It just so happens that Shao Chongxian is staying at the post station, or let's arrest him and torture him."
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a wonderful idea
Anyway, menopause is not there, Xiao Jing's kung fu is easy to catch him, and he can snatch her gun back by the way.
"Wait, I seem to have overlooked something."
Before Xiao Jing could speak, Su Xiaojiu waved his hand, and came back a little, "Do you think that Xu Mang's mutiny will have anything to do with him?"
Xiao Jing was puzzled: "You mean, he encouraged Xu Mang, but what good is this for him?"
"I'm afraid it's more than just agitation"
What Shao Chongxian wants most is the throne of Southern Xia.
Therefore, there can only be one starting point for everything he does.
"So you say, will they have any agreement, he helped Xu Mang to get up, Xu Mang ascended the throne, and then in turn wished him to take the throne"
And the reason why he didn't cooperate with Emperor Yuanhe was because Emperor Yuanhe had a great friendship with Emperor Shao, and he had some scruples in his heart, so he turned to Xu Mang
There is no more plausible explanation.
However, Su Xiaojiu still had some doubts, "But you left secretly, why is he so godly, he guessed the day of your departure"
Xiao Jingdao: "It's also possible that when I traced my background, he was already eyeing him." ”
This time it was Su Xiaojiu who was puzzled.
Xiao Jingdao: "He cares so much about the throne, he doesn't know that he hasn't tracked my whereabouts over the years, just as I followed the clues to find the truth of the year, it is difficult to ensure that new traces were left in the process of tracking, and he just followed these traces to suspect me, and later the emperor's edict directly confirmed his guess, so he almost didn't have any reaction time, and directly made arrangements for me." ”
If this is the case, this man's mind is too meticulous.
Xiao Jing said again, "You just said that Shao Chongxian also stayed at the post station."
"Yes, and just before you came, his people had just gone out, and they didn't know what bad things they were going to do."
Xiao Jing had some guesses, most of them because the killer he sent failed to succeed, and this person probably wanted to confirm that he would be eliminated before leaving.
"Then what should he do if he doesn't succeed, he will definitely not give up, even if you go to Nanxia again, there will definitely be many difficulties on the way."
She was right, the current situation was really difficult to decide, so Xiao Jing simply didn't think about it and enjoyed the time alone with her wholeheartedly.
Su Xiaojiu still had a lot of questions to ask, looked up at him and said, "By the way, isn't Uncle Han with you?"
He has been living in guilt all these years, and now that Xiao Jing has confirmed his identity, he is the happiest except for Emperor Shao.
Speaking of this, Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, "I originally wanted him to go with him, but he felt that he had no face to see Emperor Shao, and he refused to do so no matter what." ”
In fact, Xiao Jing also has his own reasons.
In the face of the assassin's sword, he was still able to keep his face unchanged, but when he went to Nanxia, he suddenly became cowardly in his hometown, so he had the heart to let Han Yi accompany him.
I didn't expect to be rejected.
He is always difficult to be strong, and it is dangerous to go here, and Han Yi has Han Lu to take care of, so he has to give up.
At this time, Su Xiaojiu was not at ease, and he was on the road alone.
"Otherwise, you might as well ask the regent to send troops with you, and it's always good to have more help."
Xiao Jing said, "I haven't officially recognized my relatives yet, the pomp is too big but ostentatious, and bringing people and horses is bound to affect the speed even more, don't worry, I have already thrown those people away, if you are fast, you can reach Nanxia in three or four days at most." ”
The meaning of this is that he cannot stay at the post station for a long time.
After this time, Su Xiaojiu suddenly wanted to go with him, the two of them were on their separate sides, and the feeling of not being able to keep track of each other's movements at any time was too tormenting.
The same is true for Xiao Jing.
She was worried about causing trouble for him, and he was worried that it would be more dangerous for her to follow him, and the two of them had something in their hearts, but they didn't say anything tacitly.
As dawn finally broke in the east, the silence was broken by the sound of roosters.
Su Xiaojiu reluctantly said, "Why don't you leave after breakfast, I'll say that you're not feeling well, and let them bring the food to the room." ”
Xiao Jing said, "It's time for you to leave for Beijing today."
"Well, I originally planned to leave today, but when I saw that Shao Chongxian didn't leave, I discussed with Lu Cheng to make sure that he left us before leaving."
"I'm afraid he won't leave for a while."
Xiao Jing held her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Otherwise, you should go with me, I don't worry about leaving you alone." ”
Su Xiaojiu's heart warmed, and he held his big hand and smiled, "I really want to go with you, but I'm afraid of becoming a burden to you, don't worry, after this lesson, I will definitely be more careful." ”
What she didn't say was that she always felt that Shao Chongxian's killing intent towards her had disappeared, unless he knew about her relationship with Xiao Jing and wanted to use her to threaten Xiao Jing.
Although she said so, Xiao Jing was relieved
He has fought with Jue Ying, and knows that his kung fu is not low, but he is afraid that Lu Cheng is not an opponent, and Shao Chongxian, as the seventh prince of Southern Xia, has a cloud of masters around him, and Jue Ying will not be the only one.
So his girl is more relieved to protect herself.
Xiao Jing wanted to say something, but hesitated when the words came to his lips, the reputation of his daughter's family was extraordinary, they were now nameless and pointless, if Xiaojiu went with him alone, it would damage her reputation.
"Xiaojiu, let's get married"
"Ahh
Because he was too shocked, Su Xiaojiu unconsciously stumbled when he spoke, "Why, why did you mention this suddenly?"
Xiao Jing leaned over and surrounded her, his voice a little muffled, "I want to take you with me in the open." ”
was unprepared to be proposed, her heart was beating wildly, and she wanted to nod, thinking that she would not be too reserved
didn't nod, and was afraid that he would misunderstand his unwillingness.
Xiao Jing waited for a long time, and the little girl didn't say anything, thinking that she was too abrupt and scared her, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, if you don't want to, just take me as if you haven't said it." ”
"Then what you say is what you say"
Su Xiaojiu stopped drying, got up from his arms suddenly, pouted and said, "The eldest husband is full of words, how can he take back what he said?"
Xiao Jing looked at the fried little girl, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't stop "Then what are you waiting for, we will go back to Beijing now"
Now she stammered again, "Then you, you won't go to Nanxia"
Xiao Jing is not a fan of beauty, and said, "Leaving at this moment, there are many ambushes on the road, rather than wasting time on the road, it is better to go back and get married first, but the time is tight, and I may have to wronged you temporarily, but you can rest assured, when I come back from Nanxia, I will definitely make up a grand wedding for you." ”
Looked at by his burning gaze, Su Xiaojiu's cheeks were hot, but he was reluctant to look away, and said with a smile, "Those are for outsiders, I don't care." ”
"I care."
Xiao Jing gently stroked her sideburns, her eyes were full of her reflections, and her gentleness almost overflowed, "My girl, deserves the best." ”
A short time later, there was a knock at the door.
"It should be Lu Cheng who came to call me for dinner."
Su Xiaojiu said helplessly, "I told him not to call me, but he always came one step ahead of me." ”
Xiao Jing knew what she wanted, so he didn't take it to heart, and said, "Then let him run, anyway, he has strength." ”
It is inconvenient for him to show up now, and it is even more difficult for him to be found in her boudoir, so Su Xiaojiu only opened the door through a crack, stretched out his head and said to Lu Cheng, "I don't want to go down to eat today, can you please find someone to bring the food up?"
As he was talking, Shao Chongxian also came out of the room, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but look here a few more times.
Lu Cheng said, "But are you uncomfortable, do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"
"Oh, no, thank you, I'm just too lazy to go down."
Su Xiaojiu prevaricated casually, but Shao Chongxian suddenly walked towards her room, and looked inside, "Isn't there someone hiding in it, okay, why don't you go down to eat?"
"I want you to worry about you, I don't have an appetite"
Su Xiaojiu glanced at him and slammed the door shut.
Eating a nose of ash early in the morning, Shao Chongxian was not annoyed, and walked downstairs like no one.
After a simple breakfast, Su Xiaojiu couldn't wait to call Lu Cheng to hurry.
Shao Chongxian sat in the hall after eating, Jue Ying hadn't come back yet, he must be waiting for news, and he was surprised when he heard Su Xiaojiu suddenly say to leave.
Yesterday, he vaguely felt that this girl was guarding against him, and why did he change his mind after sleeping
Seeing that Lu Cheng had already begun to gather people, he couldn't help but say, "It's really like this."
"Otherwise, why don't you stay here for the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Su Xiaojiu subconsciously looked into his arms, and glanced at him angrily, her gun was there with her, trying to knock him out and get him back.
No, Jue Ying is not here anyway, she has a helper
At that moment, he commanded a few guards and said, "Go, hold that man down for me, and bring me the things in his arms."
Shao Chongxian obviously didn't expect her to be so brutal and direct, and immediately got up angrily and said, "Su Xiaojiu, don't go too far."
Dare to let these rough people search him
Su Xiaojiu laughed a few times, "Hmph, if you don't cooperate, there is something more excessive than this"
Say it and wave your hand "Give it to me"
The dignified Seven Kings of Southern Xia, without the guards by their side, were immediately restrained by twisting their arms, just like a little daughter-in-law who was angry.
Growing up, he had never been so insulted
At the moment, he gritted his teeth and looked at Su Xiaojiu, "You treat this king like this today, and you will definitely regret it in the future."
"Say, say a few more words to relieve hatred."
Su Xiaojiu personally stepped forward to take out the pistol, and put a lot of bullets into his purse, glanced at him, but did not let people let go, but said, "Tie it up, throw it into his room, and when his dog legs come, he will loosen it for him." ”
Shao Chongxian stared at her with wide eyes, his angry neck and tendons burst, and scolded, "You heartless stinky girl turned her face so quickly and didn't recognize anyone?"
Su Xiaojiu pretended to lean in front of him, and looked left and right, "This person is very raw, it is not a good thing at first glance, tie it strongly, don't let him run away"
Then he looked around and found a clean towel and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Cheng watched from the side, I don't know why she suddenly had a seizure, she felt that something seemed wrong, and thought that no one here knew Shao Chongxian anyway, so she followed her and said to the guards; "Send him back to his room, and we'll leave at once."
Shao Chongxian scolded and was resisted away, Su Xiaojiu snorted and went out, daring to send someone to hunt down Xiao Jing, you are already very face-saving if you don't hit the spot.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he happened to meet Jue Ying who came back, and the night clothes on his body had long been changed into normal clothes, and when he saw Su Xiaojiu and Lu Cheng standing in the hall, he was stunned for a moment, "Where is my master?"
Su Xiaojiu touched his nose, "I think you're too inky, I went for a walk nearby, and I should be back soon." ”
The appearance of lying and not typing the draft made Jue Ying believe it, and listened upstairs, but did not find any movement.
originally wanted to wait for the master to come back, but he was afraid that Shao Chongxian would get angry when he was in a hurry, so he immediately turned around and went out to look for it.
Su Xiaojiu hurriedly greeted Lu Cheng, "Quick, let's run while he doesn't come back",
