Huo Tianxiu followed the Marquis escorting Miao Heng all the way back to the inn. The Marquis ordered Cong Ting to carefully examine the affairs of the Miao Family Incense Shop, and then took Huo Tianxiu back to the room.
Huo Tianxiu saw that his face was so gloomy that frost could freeze from his face. Even though they had prepared the worst plan and prepared the entire Wanzhou army for a war if they really couldn't regain military power, the Marquis's expression also changed. It's not as ugly as it is now.
"Have you ever heard of the Miao Family Incense Shop back then?" Mr. Hou finally asked.
Although Huo Tianxiu guessed that this was the reason for the whole trip, he had already thought about the Miao Family Incense Shop back then, and there was nothing particularly wrong except that the door was closed a little abruptly.
Therefore, he sat down opposite the Marquis and asked suspiciously: "It was indeed very popular for a while, and I have heard about it. Is there any mystery behind it?"
The Marquis looked very hesitant. Huo Tianxiu was the Emperor's confidant, but the Emperor even hid the matter from Huo Tianxiu about the Miao Family Incense Shop. The Marquis also made great determination before telling the truth and telling Xiao Mubai to him. I also told him all those things.
The Marquis's knowledge was not complete, and he was mostly guessing that this matter had something to do with Lan Yuying's mother, the Emperor, and the Western Regions.
Huo Tianxiu was so surprised that he held a cup of tea in his hand but forgot to drink it. He knew that the Marquis had always relied on his friendship with the emperor to be a little unscrupulous.
But he didn't expect that his son could be more troublesome than him. He actually demolished the Song Dynasty paintings in the imperial study room and caused so many troubles.
After Huo Tianxiu and Mr. Hou stared at each other in silence for a long time, Huo Tianxiu threw the tea cup and cursed angrily: "What the hell are you telling me to do?"
Seeing that he was furious, the Marquis calmed down. He wiped the water stains on his hands and asked quietly, "You're not asking me, is there any mystery behind this?"
Huo Tianxiu was furious for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, pointed at him again and again, and finally managed to hold his breath for a long time: "You could just fool me, why do you have to drag me through this muddy water!"
The Marquis clicked his tongue and said, "Which of us is following whom? We were friends that lasted forever. How could I bear to fool you?"
"Bah!" Huo Tianxiu looked at his winking look and looked like he wanted to be beaten, and he really wanted to slap him down.
Well, he knew everything about the things that the emperor didn't want others to know.
What can he do now? Can he return to Beijing and tell the emperor, Master, my subordinates know a big secret from you and dare not lie to it
"So, the coffin that the regent of the Western Regions took away..." Huo Tianxiu suddenly reacted and became even more mournful.
"Whether we can know more depends on how much Miao Heng confesses. I really didn't expect that he was actually Miao Jiaxiang..."
Huo Tianxiu stretched out his hand to signal Mr. Hou to stop. He held his head against the pain. He didn't want to know this at all!
The Marquis allowed him to digest it silently, and when he saw him put down his hand on his forehead, he pushed him a cup of tea and asked him, "Before you left, was there anything strange in the capital?"
Huo Tianxiu took a sip of hot tea to calm down his shock, then pinched his eyebrows and thought about it: "There's nothing unusual about it."
The Marquis was silent for a while and then asked: "Have you had any contact with Jingzhong since you fought in Chang'an?"
When he mentioned this, Huo Tianxiu became suspicious: "It's strange that I didn't reply to any of the letters I wrote home to Wen Shu."
Mr. Hou's expression suddenly became calm again. Huo Tianxiu panicked when he saw his expression change.
The words he asked next were a bit stuttering: "What...what happened again?"
Panic flashed through Mr. Hou's eyes: "Jingzhong, I'm afraid something has happened."
"There can be someone in Beijing..." Huo Tianxiu waved his hand indifferently, but his expression became smaller and smaller as he spoke: "What could happen?"
The Marquis' voice sank: "How do I know? I'll finish packing and go back to Beijing to have a look."
"Yes." Huo Tianxiu responded and then suddenly raised his head: "No, I have to follow the regent to get the coffin back."
The Marquis sneered: "Just you? You can't win over others in the Xiao Kingdom. How can you be so virtuous when you see me today, and you still chase me? Are you leading your subordinates into the Western Regions to die?"
Huo Tianxiu was stunned for a moment by his teasing, but he couldn't reply. After a while, he muttered in a low voice: "If I go back and recover like this, I will have to be skinned by the emperor."
The Marquis sighed: "I hope he still has that energy."
Huo Tianxiu stood up suddenly: "What do you mean?"
The Marquis didn't tell him about the emperor's poisoning, and he didn't plan to tell him now, so he just sent him out of the room with a few words.
The next day.
When the sky was slightly bright, the Marquis asked Cong Ting to knock on Huo Tianxiu's door, urging him to pack his bags and go back to Beijing with him.
Huo Tianxiu was unwilling in every possible way and had to go on the road with Gu Jiajun life or death.
The Marquis' face dropped, and he finally assured him that if the emperor was blamed, he would be responsible for it. Huo Tianxiu then ordered his subordinates to pack their bags.
The Marquis was eager to return to the capital, so he asked the people at the inn to tell Gu Weiyi on his behalf, and then hurried on his way back to the capital.
Gu Weiyi was also busy all night, and then he took care of everything in the general and took Wei Feng to the magistrate's mansion to pick up Gu Duanfei.
After Gu Duanfei entered the room last night, the two beauties smiled and said they wanted to play a game with him to spice things up.
He naturally agreed happily, little did he know that after the two beauties tied him up, they never let go.
After he cursed several times, a smelly and dirty tablecloth was stuffed into his mouth. With eyes wide open and groaning, he watched the two beauties leave the room and leave him alone on the bed.
Gu Duanfei was half awake and angry. He couldn't move or shout. He regretted not listening to Miao Heng. He thought that he would dismantle it with his own hands today when Miao Heng came to pick him up. This mansion tore the magistrate of Yigang into eight pieces.
However, when it was daylight, Miao Heng was not waiting for him, but Wei Feng was waiting for him.
As soon as the rag in his mouth was pulled off by Wei Feng, he yelled at him: "You must be smarter with your hands and feet, please let me go!"
Wei Feng grabbed the rope that tied him and snorted: "How dare a commoner call himself a general?"
Gu Duanfei's pupils shrank: "What do you mean? Where is Miao Heng?"
Gu Weiyi leaned outside the door and said to him against the rising sun: "Miao Heng, you can't see me anymore, but there are a lot of people waiting to see you..."
In the backlight, Gu Duanfei couldn't see his face clearly. It wasn't until Wei Feng carried him to the door that he recognized the person leaning against the door and exclaimed: "Aren't you in the Zhao family army?" ?”
Gu Weiyi sneered: "Thank you, I came all the way to clean up your mess."
