When Xiao Muhong quietly opened a gap with her fingers, she squinted and looked outside. Surprisingly, I found that the raven was still standing like a mountain, even its posture had not changed...
"You!" Peng Zhe leaned against the door with his legs weak. He pointed at the raven first, and when he saw his pupils shrank, he immediately withdrew his hand and shouted to Xiao Zimu and the others: "Pretend to be a royal heir, beat the Shi family guards, and disturb the public. Concubine Li is having her meal, none of you can run away today, you have to wait for me."
After Peng Zhe said that, he ran into the courtyard. Xiao Muhong didn't see the scene just now, but he could see it clearly.
The man in gray clothes stood there without moving an inch from beginning to end. He only used his elbows, palms, fists, and fingers to knock down all of these hundreds of people.
At the moment, what can he do other than say some harsh words to find someone else to do it by himself
Nonsence! That's simply impossible...
He passed the message up layer by layer like this, and Xia Chu and his group went in layer by layer like this until Shi Fuqiu was alerted.
When Shi Fuqiu heard the sound and came over, he was still very impressive. Until he saw Xiao Zimu and the other three, his face instantly withered. He stepped forward to salute: "I have seen His Majesty the Seventh Highness and the Ninth Princess. This person is so blind, I hope your Highnesses will not take the blame."
Peng Zhe and others were dumbfounded on the spot. They never expected that the prince and princess would leave the palace with an attendant. Who would dare to believe this
Although they were being scolded at the moment, their eyes looking at Shi Fuqiu were full of gratitude.
After all, his master cursed him first, so Xiao Zimu and the others had no choice but to punish him.
The guards who had just taken action lined up in several rows and saluted and apologized in unison: "I am blind, and I hope that your highnesses will not blame me."
Xiao Zimuyuan didn't want to make the matter get out of hand, so he was about to expose it and took Xiao Muhong to have a meal. However, Xia Chu behind him suddenly stepped forward and said to Shi Fuqiu with a smile: " It’s really no wonder that the people under General Shi are blind.”
Shi Fuqiu looked over and saw that he was pale and thin. He guessed that he must be the sick man from the Hou Mansion, so he turned his head and ignored him.
The first time he heard of Xia Chu's name was because Shi Jiaying was having fun with Ao Denggeri in the market that day. She suffered a big loss from him and went home to cry.
Now Shi Fuqiu saw Xia Chu smiling and coming out to smooth things over, but in his heart he still remembered that he had embarrassed Shi Jiaying.
Therefore, Shi Fuqiu's attitude was lukewarm, and he seemed to have ignored his words.
Seeing that Shi Fuqiu had lost Xia Chu's face, Xiao Zimu stopped thinking about exposing it. Just when he was about to speak for Xia Chu, a sneer came from his ears: "After all, who brings what?" Soldier, it is human nature for dogs to follow their masters.”
When Shi Fuqiu heard Xia Chu's words, he immediately shouted angrily: "What a shame!"
Xiao Muhong took the lead to stop Xia Chu.
"It is indeed presumptuous." Xia Chu pulled Xiao Muhong behind him, put away the bright smile on his face and turned cold, and took a step closer to Shi Fuqiu, who was full of anger: "Shi Fuqiu, how dare you not do this when you see me?" The salute is so unbridled."
Shi Fuqiu's face was startled. The young man in front of him was more than half a head shorter than him, but the eyes that looked up at him were full of scrutiny.
Just now, he greeted me with a weak and harmless smile, but he suddenly turned around and became full of momentum.
Or even accuse yourself of being presumptuous
"Although I have lived in the mountains for a long time, I also know that the Xiao Kingdom has always valued etiquette and education. If the common people fail to be polite when meeting the county magistrate, they will be punished. If they are not polite when meeting the prince, they will punish the three tribes. If they are not polite when meeting the emperor, they will punish the nine tribes. Although he is a hereditary marquis, General Shi is not a commoner. Zimu thinks, how should he be punished for his rudeness?" Xia Chu turned to Xiao Zimu and asked.
When her eyes turned to him, she obviously smiled again. She looked bright and lively, but every word she asked made people feel chilled in their hearts.
Xiao Zimu was really stunned by Xia Chu's question. The laws and regulations he just said were indeed true. The Xiao Kingdom has always valued etiquette education the most.
But since ancient times, no general has been convicted for not saluting the Marquis. Xiao Zimu thought about it and catered to him: "In accordance with my father's love for Ah Chu..."
Xiao Zimu paused deliberately, and Shi Fuqiu's already sallow face became even more ugly.
According to etiquette, he should indeed bow to Xia Chu.
The reason why he just dismissed Xia Chu was because this was his territory for the time being, and there was Concubine Li behind him.
Secondly, I saw that he was pale, thin, weak and could be bullied. I forgot for a moment that such a sick man was still a little marquis born hereditary.
He also didn't expect that the young marquis, who had been in the mountains for so many years, would actually talk about the law in a clear and logical manner, and would not be afraid of himself who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time and was full of blood.
At this time, Xiao Zimu deliberately said this sentence again. He also knew that the emperor was very fond of him during this period in early summer. He would often wait in the imperial study room during breakfast time, waiting for the emperor to go to court. This was the only time. The treatment that only General Zhao and the Marquis could enjoy, even Huo Tianxiu could only wait outside the imperial study.
When Shi Fuqiu thought of this, the veins on his forehead jumped. Regardless of the majesty in front of his subordinates, he reluctantly cupped his fists and saluted: "I have met the young Marquis."
As soon as he saluted, the Shi family guards next to him knelt down and shouted in unison: "I have seen the young marquis."
Xia Chu glanced at Wu Yangyang's kneeling group, turned to Shi Fuqiu, who was holding his fists, and gave him a hand: "Oh, General Shi, why are you so polite? I was just joking, you are Xiao Guo The general guarding the frontier, you are so old, you..."
Xiao Muhong had laughed out loud a long time ago. Shi Fuqiu gritted his teeth and loosened his teeth. He couldn't bear to listen anymore and interrupted: "It's better to invite His Highness the Seventh Highness, the Ninth Princess and the Little Marquis to go inside. It's cold outside!"
Xiao Zimu suppressed a smile and responded, and the group followed Shi Fuqiu, who was leading the way with his sleeves fluttering.
"Should we go to see Concubine Li? After all, we are familiar with the laws of the Xiao Kingdom and etiquette cannot be broken." Xia Chu pretended to ask Xiao Zimu.
Xiao Zimu naturally knew that this was actually meant for Shi Fuqiu, so he smiled and did not answer.
Sure enough, Shi Fuqiu, who was walking in front, stiffened when he heard this. He didn't want to but continued to speak: "No need, Concubine Li said that she just wants to pray in peace today, and I will arrange for you to have dinner in the side room." That’s it.”
"Forget it, let's not bother Concubine Li." Xiao Zimu and Xiao Muhong were happy. They had never thought about it, but when they heard Shi Fuqiu's refusal, they were secretly happy.
Xia Chu frowned slightly. He had deliberately made such a big noise just now, and no one from Li Fei came out to take a look. Yue Fengwan and her must have already met...
