Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu's bright and curious eyes, blinking and inquiring, and gently tapped his eyebrows, and then told him the whole story.
Since Xiao Mubai used the golden order to dispatch the golden armored cavalry, he asked Han Hong to take the golden order to find Young Master Qiao.
Young Master Qiao has been dormant in the closed Ming Sa Garden with the golden order in hand, but after all, it is just a chess piece prepared by Xiao Mubai and may not be used in time.
The reason why it was too late was because in order to make this move, the Marquis had to be by his side.
And the Marquis went to a new city, and who knew when he would come back. Even if the letter was not clear and made the Marquis suspicious, who knew whether he would be able to come back in time.
Xiao Mubai didn't have much hope for this chess piece.
It's just that the golden order given to him by the emperor has no effect on his body. He has used everything he can mobilize privately. Even the golden armored cavalry has been dispatched. The power that the emperor let him know has already been released.
Therefore, he asked Han Hong to take Jin Ling to find Young Master Qiao.
The reason why Third Young Master Qiao needs the Marquis to be by his side is because although he holds the golden order, he has no idea about dispatching troops and generals. In addition, he doesn't know any of the generals in the neighboring city.
Sora has the power, but has no idea how to use it.
Until Third Young Master Qiao heard the news that the Marquis had returned to Beijing, he immediately took Han Hong to look for the Marquis.
At that time, the Marquis happened to be mysterious and spread rumors about a suspected soldier. Although he and Huo Tianxiu also thought about dispatching the garrison of the neighboring city, they did not have the military symbols. Even if they pulled off the old face, they could only find more than a thousand people based on personal connections. .
These more than a thousand people are useless even if they are a drop in the bucket.
At this moment, Mr. Qiao came to the door.
When the Marquis first saw him, he was so happy that he couldn't help but cursed: "You boy, how can you go out of the city and not reply to me?"
Huo Tianxiu was surprised at how the Marquis could be so disrespectful to His Highness King Mo. Then, he heard a sentence that almost made him die suddenly.
"Master Hou, I am not His Highness Prince Mo, I am his substitute." Seeing that he spoke so unscrupulously in front of Huo Tianxiu, Third Young Master Qiao glanced at Huo Tianxiu suspiciously, but when he saw the Marquis, he nodded and acquiesced to what he had to say. To put it bluntly, he said it in front of Huo Tianxiu.
As soon as he said these words, Huo Tianxiu became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
What do you mean, His Highness King Mo's substitute
Huo Tianxiu couldn't understand, but Mr. Hou understood it instantly.
Xiao Mubai once mentioned to him that after he was assassinated at the age of thirteen, he found a boy who looked similar to him and was about the same age and had been secretly training him.
The Marquis looked at the very similar face. If Xiao Mubai had lowered his sharpness, he would really be the same as the substitute in front of him. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What is his order?"
Third Young Master Qiao still very carefully pulled the Marquis over and used his body as a barrier to take out the golden order that the Emperor had previously given to Xiao Mubai.
The Marquis was overjoyed when he saw it. He and Huo Tianxiu were worried that they would not be able to mobilize the garrison privately, so he came up with this golden order in a timely manner.
Even with Young Master Qiao in tow, Huo Tianxiu, who still looked stunned, hurriedly mobilized his troops.
Of course, Xiao Mubai couldn't tell Xia Chu the details of the twists and turns, so he could only tell him the general plot he guessed.
Xiao Mubai thought that the Marquis only spread the news about Huo Tianxiu leading troops and Xia Jiajun returning to Beijing after he took the golden order.
Who knows, in fact, the Marquis had already laid out suspicions, and then Young Master Qiao came to the rescue. He accidentally took the soldiers mobilized with the golden order, and asked Third Young Master Qiao to take the lead, pretending to be the leader of His Highness King Mo. Zhumo Wangjun returned to Beijing.
"When did you know about this?" After hearing the whole story, Xia Chu still didn't quite understand this point.
"I just learned about it yesterday. When I looked at the Zhao family's military flag in the west on the city tower, I saw the smoke bomb left for Qiao San rising into the air. I knew it. It was done." Xiao Mubai curled his lips to clear the air. A slight smile, a cunning look in his eyes.
"Then you even hid it from me!" Xia Chu put his hands on his hips, with anger on his face. He once thought that Xiao Mubai really couldn't bear the pressure and was on the verge of collapse!
Xiao Mubai teased: "If I don't hide it, how can I let you see the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals..."
Xia Chuyi thought that when she said this, she thought Xiao Mubai was unconscious, but she didn't expect that she was completely kept in the dark.
In an instant, I felt ashamed and annoyed.
He was about to raise an army to investigate the crime, but the cheers in front of Danfeng Gate became louder and louder. It turned out that it was Old General Zhao, Huo Tianxiu and the fake His Highness King Mo who were about to enter the imperial city. Xiao Zimu was carrying All the courtiers in the palace came to greet him in person.
"Let's go, we have to change our identities." Xiao Mubai pulled Xia Chu and got out of the pavilion.
On the surface, Xia Chu followed him out of Yongxin Palace obediently, but in her heart she silently made a note for him.
When they reached the Zhonghe Hall, they could already see the figures of General Zhao and his entourage. Xia Chu waved and called from a distance: "His Royal Highness King Mo."
Young Master Qiao responded with understanding and headed towards Xia Chu.
Xia Chu took Young Master Qiao and quickly moved behind a thick red paint pillar. At present, everyone in the palace gathered at the Zhonghe Hall.
Therefore, no one noticed that a figure appeared beside the red paint pillar and quickly exchanged with Mr. Qiao. Then Xia Chu walked out side by side with the real Xiao Mubai and walked back to the crowd.
Ever since Qiao San broke away from the crowd and was pulled aside by Xia Chu, Manchao Wenwu's eyes couldn't help but fall on the faces of General Zhao and the Marquis.
I was curious in my heart that the young Marquis didn't pounce on the Marquis or Old General Zhao, but actually called His Highness Prince Mo to whisper.
But they could only glance at each other with this idea, and no one dared to tell the truth in front of these two people.
Xiao Zimu had been welcoming them into the city with joy on his face. It was not until this moment that his smile slowly softened. Seeing the two of them walking side by side, Xiao Zimu's frozen smile reappeared: "I know that second brother will not It will disappear for no reason.”
This is what everyone wanted to ask but didn't ask. Zhao Xingwen had mentioned it before, but was angrily scolded by General Zhao, but no one dared to mention it again.
Now, when everyone saw Xiao Zimu asking a question, they couldn't help but look over with excitement.
"The secret must not be leaked." Xia Chu was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he answered for him. Then he walked between General Zhao and the Marquis, took their arms on the left and right, raised his chin and continued: "Your Highness, why don't you hurry up and get ready to celebrate?"
Xiao Zimu didn't mean anything else, he just sighed with emotion. Seeing Xia Chu's attitude, it was obviously not convenient to tell those details, so he followed him and said, "It is indeed time to celebrate, and I would like to express my condolences to you all!"
