When Su Qian'an heard that the voice was indeed Xiao Mubai's, she retracted her legs and gently patted his hand that was covering her.
Xiao Mubai let go of his hand, took two steps back and urged him: "Hurry up and follow me. If it's too late, I'm afraid the Marquis will be in danger."
Zhao Xingwen got out of bed with a 'hmm' and reached for the robe on the hanger beside him.
In a moment, the stretched out hand suddenly made a fist and swung it towards Xiao Mubai quickly.
Xiao Mubai frowned slightly and stepped aside.
When Zhao Xingwen saw that the attack missed, he took up his posture and said, "Young man, you can hide pretty quickly."
Xiao Mubai's frown became tighter and he scolded in a low voice: "What I just said..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xingwen kicked him again: "How dare you call yourself the king and find someone with a similar voice to fool me before dawn?"
The veins on Xiao Mubai's forehead jumped. He jumped up to avoid his kick and said to him: "This king is indeed..."
Zhao Xingwen interrupted him again, jumped into the air after him, pointed his palms at his neck and cursed him at the same time: "It's you, His Highness King Mo is still far away in Yucheng!"
Xiao Mubai gritted his teeth and finally counterattacked with his backhand. When their wrists were intertwined, he put his five fingers on his wrist and tugged hard, pulling him in front of him.
Looking at each other, Xiao Mubai's eyes were cold and stern, with a trace of anger in his eyes.
Zhao Xingwen's whole body seemed to be locked by a beast, and a familiar sense of oppression instantly enveloped him. From such a close distance, Zhao Xingwen could clearly see his appearance.
The man had an ordinary appearance, with a sallow complexion, and his lips were quite thin, but there was a curl of mustache on them that looked like they deserved to be beaten...
Although his nose is still high and straight, the corners of his eyes are drooped. They don't look like Xiao Mubai's upturned phoenix eyes at all, but the look in his eyes is too similar!
And what’s going on with this familiar sense of oppression…
"Zhao Xingwen, I'm afraid you still want to hold the water basin again, squat on horseback, and light a row of sleeping incense for you!" Xiao Mubai took his wrist, said something, and took a step closer.
Zhao Xingwen's expression suddenly changed. After hearing this, he took a step back, and finally retreated to the bed. His feet were pushed up by the bed, and he sat back on the bed. He swallowed his saliva and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, King Mo, you This face…”
"Don't you even know about the disguise?" Xiao Mubai said coldly, took the robe with his backhand and threw it over.
The fluttering clothes were used as a hood, just covering Zhao Xingwen's face.
He pulled it off, with a frightened look on his face, his big eyes flickered twice, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "You secretly came back from Yucheng!"
Xiao Mubai's face was worried, and his patience had reached its limit. His tone was filled with anger: "You talk so much nonsense, do you think I am here to play with you?"
Only then did Zhao Xingwen recall his first words after revealing his identity, something was going to happen to Mr. Hou!
At that time, he thought that this person was an impostor, so naturally he didn't take those words seriously. What could happen to the Marquis? Isn't this nonsense...
But now it seems...
Zhao Xingwen hurriedly put on his coat and boots, got up and followed Xiao Mubai out of General Zhao's mansion.
Along the way, Xiao Mubai mainly talked to him about the difficulties he might face and taught him what he should do.
The two rushed over at full speed, but luckily they stopped the impending riot in time.
Later, when the Marquis praised Zhao Xingwen for their timely arrival, Xiao Mubai looked at him coolly and added angrily: "Originally, they could have arrived in a more timely manner."
Zhao Xingwen had a trace of fear in his heart. If time was delayed because he and Xiao Mubai started fighting, causing the Marquis to be injured, let alone Xia Chu cutting him, he would not feel good about it.
Zhao Xingwen smiled awkwardly and teased Xiao Mubai while laughing.
Xiao Mubai didn't say anything anymore. After all, he had caught up, so he saved some face.
At present, Xiao Mubai told all this to the Marquis in the study room, and also hid the part about Zhao Xingwen and him, and revealed it in one sentence.
Before the Marquis had time to speak, Cong Ting's voice sounded outside the door. Xiao Mubai stood up and went over to open the door. Cong Ting stood outside the door and saluted in reply: "The raven has not returned home."
Xiao Mubai waved his hand to ask him to leave. Seeing his frown, the Marquis asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Mubai was feeling uneasy. When he followed the Marquis into the palace last night, he was wondering, why didn't the raven follow the Marquis
During this period, Xia Chu could only stay in the mansion. Whenever he left the mansion, he would leave the raven behind to protect the Marquis.
When he entered the palace at night, it stands to reason that the raven should be by the Marquis' side.
Last night, Xiao Mubai asked the Marquis in the carriage. The Marquis said that he didn't see the raven when he went out. Maybe he was sent out by Xia Chu to do something.
Although Xiao Mubai felt strange at the time, he didn't take it too seriously. Later, when he met Xia Chu, the two of them talked about the emperor's poisoning.
He also forgot to ask if Xia Chu had asked Raven to do something.
When Xiao Mubai returned home with the Marquis, he originally thought that the raven was back, but Cong Ting said that he didn't come back all night, which was too abnormal.
Because of Yuefengwan, Xia Chu would definitely not trust Raven to leave the Marquis for such a long time.
Although with Raven's skills, there was really no need to worry about his safety, Xiao Mubai always felt that something was wrong. He thought about going to Dali Temple in the evening and asking Xia Chu, with a relaxed and solemn look on his face. , shook his head at the Marquis: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
He stayed in the study and reassured the Marquis. Since the Emperor had said that he was well aware of the corpse burning case and would not let him get involved in the poisoning, there might be something else hidden in it.
Xiao Mubai advised him to follow his words and stay in the Hou Mansion. If he made the emperor suspicious of him, things would be difficult.
In fact, Xiao Mubai didn't need to say it, the Marquis knew it very well.
What's more, even if he wants to step in to help, he doesn't know where to start right now...
He had no idea what was going on in the Zhao family's military camp. He also knew nothing about Xia Chu's medicine refining.
Even if the emperor was poisoned, that big thing was hidden from him by that little brat.
When the Marquis thought of this, he bit his gums and thought that when the matter was settled, after he returned home, he would press him in front of Zhao Lansheng's spiritual tablet and teach him a lesson.
Xiao Mubai looked at Mr. Hou's confused expression and clenched teeth, and guessed what he was thinking. He coughed lightly and said, "Ah Chu... didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would worry."
The Marquis snorted twice, that's the reason.
But angry, really angry!
Xiao Mubai listened to Master Hou's cold snort, looked at his livid complexion, and helplessly held his head against the pain.
I thought to myself, Ah Chu, I’ve said something nice for you.
For the rest, just ask for your blessings...
