Xiao Mubai was filled with emotion when he heard about Hu Zhijing. Thinking that she and Xia Chu had only known each other for less than a month, Hu Zhijing not only vowed to keep his promise to the death, but also took Mi Jiao, the palace maid given to her by Xia Chu before leaving. Protect them tightly together.
The innocent girl who grew up with countless favors, has experienced more than half a year of palace life since she married Liang Shaoxuan, and her thoughts have become much more delicate.
She was no longer the princess who had to follow Xia Chu in a shooting contest after being slightly provoked by Liang Shaoguang.
It is precisely because Hu Zhijing is now very thoughtful and vigilant. When she brought Mi Jiao back to the dormitory, she found that the attendant who was originally guarding the door was missing. She immediately became alert and went to the main hall to find Liang Shaoxuan and his people. Come.
If it had been in the past, she might have called the Forbidden Army directly.
But Hu Zhijing, who had been in the harem for a long time, was suspicious of the real purpose of the visitor. If she were from the Gu family, there would be no need to kidnap her attendants like this.
If he were not from the Gu family, he might be a friend rather than an enemy.
Liang Shaoxuan protected Hu Zhijing behind him, followed the guard Luo Sen, and entered the dormitory cautiously.
Although Xiao Mubai unexpectedly came with a lot of manpower, it was very simple to cook the raven.
Before Liang Shaoxuan and his wife had time to exclaim, Xiao Mubai had already taken the lead and rushed behind them, pushing the two of them into the palace.
Liang Shaoxuan's subordinates were lying around in the hall, but Luo Sen was still awake, waiting for an opportunity to make another move.
"Who are you?" Liang Shaoxuan stood in front of Hu Zhijing, his voice extremely threatening.
Luo Sen took the opportunity to get violent again, and when the raven pushed his palm and swept across, Xiao Mubai quickly stopped in the middle, stretched out his hand and showed the Qiao Mansion's token.
Luo Sen saw the token and managed to stop his attack. Although Raven closed her hand behind Xiao Mubai, she still left her index finger dissatisfied and poked his back.
In the eyes of others, it was just a naughty poke, but Xiao Mubai was a little unsteady from the poke.
He glanced back at the raven sternly, but the raven had no expression on its face and was not afraid at all.
Xiao Mubai's brows tightened and his eyes turned cold: "Sooner or later, I'm going to beat you until you have teeth all over the floor."
The raven seemed to think about his words seriously and then nodded: "It's too early, but don't wait longer than your lifetime."
Xiao Mubai's face was indifferent and expressionless. Only the hand he held Cheng Ying trembled slightly and unnoticeably.
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became cold. Liang Shaoxuan looked at his subordinates lying on the floor and coughed lightly: "Did General Qiao send you here?"
Raven naturally ignored him, folded her arms across her chest, found a chair and sat down leisurely.
Xiao Mubai thought about a hundred ways in his mind, and waited until the matter was over to treat the raven behind Xia Chu's back.
He turned to look at Liang Shaoxuan again: "I am Qiao Mobai."
"You... you..." Liang Shaoxuan pointed at his unfamiliar face. Hu Zhijing recognized his voice immediately. She stuck her head out from behind Liang Shaoxuan, looked him up and down and said, "How can you disguise yourself?" If you look like this, please give me back to my Mr. Qiao Sangui."
Xiao Mubai's face was startled, and he looked at Liang Shaoxuan helplessly. Liang Shaoxuan looked sideways at Hu Zhijing with a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
Hu Zhijing walked out from behind him and pushed Liang Shaoxuan on the shoulder: "Now you are the prince in my heart."
For the first time, Xiao Mubai was force-fed a handful of dog food. He almost choked to death. He held his forehead with a headache and said, "You can still be so flirtatious at this moment. It seems that the palace is not in such a critical situation."
The displeasure in Liang Shaoxuan's eyes dissipated in an instant and became bright and burning. He turned to look at Xiao Mubai with a smile and said, "Now that you are here, the crisis will not be so critical."
Xiao Mubai raised his eyes to look at him and said jokingly: "You are quite calm."
Hu Zhijing took Liang Shaoxuan's arm and said to him: "The Qiao Mansion has been silent since the palace coup, but why don't we just hold back a blow and win back? Now that you are here, tell us what you need us to do."
Xiao Mubai watched the couple singing together, and the sour taste in his heart became stronger...
After coming out of Jingyang Palace, Xiao Mubai still couldn't hold it back and went to Linhua Palace and Yu'an Palace respectively to look at the sleeping faces of King Liang and Queen from a distance.
He didn't dare to enter Yu'an Palace because he felt too much guilt for her, and he didn't know how to face it or how to express it.
He didn't want to enter the Linhua Palace because King Liang had laid out his entire life for him without telling him and his father, which made him feel dissatisfied.
Now that Xiao Mubai knows these past events that have been buried for many years, he is no longer as concerned about Concubine Li's words about his father poisoning him as he was at first.
His father and Prince Liang had planned so much for him, so they couldn't kill him secretly.
Xiao Mubai thought about this clearly, and for the time being he was too lazy to care about the truth of the year. The top priority was to solve Liang Guo's affairs, and to support General Zhao was the main business.
He took Raven out of the palace, and took advantage of the little time before dawn to visit Liang Shaoxuan's mother's family, Fan Mansion.
After some discussion in the Fan Mansion and drawing up a list of the remaining loyal persons who were under strict supervision by Gu Younian, Xiao Mubai rested in the Fan Mansion until the afternoon, then left the house and visited them one by one according to the list.
In the next few days, Xiao Mubai never returned to Qiao Mansion.
Either stay in Fan's mansion to discuss matters with Master Fan, or go back to Tinglanshui Tower to receive news and intelligence.
Xiao Mubai's invisible private forces all over Tianlu Capital City were all in action.
People in every workshop, every building, every store, all used code words to carry out every instruction he gave in an orderly manner.
Until Xiao Mubai received two letters, one with good news and one with bad news.
The good news was a letter from General Qiao. Gu Zisong had been captured alive by King Mo's army, and he had blocked the news and sent a letter to inform him of the good news.
With Gu Zisong's capture, the two armies that had been fighting each other returned to their original appearance, and letters began to circulate again. Xiao Mubai then received bad news from the Zhao Jiajun.
As stated in the letter, although General Zhao was forced to camp on the outskirts of Fengwu, he also knew that it was not a long-term solution. If it continued to be delayed, no matter whether they entered the city or not, as long as the Shi Jiajun and the Mongolian army merged, the situation would be quite passive. .
By then, the two armies will press forward and press directly into the hinterland of Xiao State.
Therefore, Wuma Hua proposed to take the initiative to save the day. While the two armies were still separated, he picked an army to hit them hard first.
If the two armies choose one of them, General Zhao will naturally not want to attack Xiao Guo's Shi Jiajun.
The two armies of Zhao and Shi fought against each other, but after all, they were still at war with each other.
Even if Shi Fuqiu is not distressed, General Zhao is unwilling to draw his sword against Xiao's soldiers unless he has to. The most perfect plan would be to defeat the Mongolian army first and then recover the Shi family's army.
