Chapter 137 Killing the Son-in-Law (65)

Xun Yu fainted and lay down for three days.

Early in the morning, Qi Jiu was administering medicine to Xun Yu.

Seeing that Xun Yu's expression was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking, he said, "Master, don't blame the young lady for not protecting you. If you want me to say, if the young lady didn't make you kneel down, I'll thank you, Patriarch. If you have one foot, you will have to lie down for another month if you don’t keep it straight.”

Xun Yu didn't speak.

Qi Jiu said to himself: "Hey, after all, your body is too bad, so this is not acceptable. Maybe Patriarch Xie will wait for you to die, so that you can find another son-in-law who is really gentle and upright!"

To sprinkle salt on Xun Yu's wounds, Qi Jiu has always been a professional.

Xun Yu: "..."

Isn't he gentle enough?

"The medicine is ready, master, you can rest." Qi Jiu packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Xun Yu finally looked at him, "Where are you going?"

Qi Jiu tried his best to restrain his excitement, and said: "Patriarch Xie ordered me to go out with the eldest lady. I heard that it is for hunting, so let me follow and protect the eldest lady comprehensively."

Xun Yu struggled to get up, Qi Jiu hurried over to help him up, "Where are you going to hunt? Who are you hunting with?"

Qi Jiu said: "The eldest son and princess of Prince An's Mansion, as well as some other descendants of the family, are all known to the eldest lady."

Xun Yu's face darkened slightly.

King An was not from the middle palace, but he was as close to the emperor as a brother. He won the trust of the emperor, held a lot of power, fought for the emperor, and expanded the territory.

He and Xie Xi did not know each other, and later became close friends.

Xie Xi once provided King An with strategies to retreat from the enemy, and also sent King An a steady stream of grain and grass when the factions in the court and China were fighting for power and seized grain and grass.

It is said that King An once swore in front of all his soldiers that as long as Xie Xi did not commit the heinous crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he would protect Xie Xi's family at any time.

Those soldiers in the army who received Xie Xi's kindness and saved their lives by Xie Xi's food and retreat plan also made the same oath.

They are not as powerful as King An, but if something happens to the Xie family, they will definitely not sit idly by.

Jin Yan told him that when she was healthy, Xie Xi took her to the capital several times.

But when she was nine years old, she fell ill on the road, and it was too late to find a doctor, which frightened Xie Xi, and he never took her out for the next few years.

She also has the best relationship with the princess of Prince An's Mansion, and she often writes letters to each other.

In Princess Qionghua's letter, her elder brother, Prince An's son Zhao Qi was often mentioned.

Zhao Qi is now in his twenties, but he is not married yet, and has rejected five marriages in just the past two years.

Those families felt that it was a blessing for Prince An's Mansion that they were able to see Zhao Qi as a martial artist, but in the end they were slapped in the face and couldn't keep their face, so there were some rumors that were not good for Zhao Qi.

It is said that Zhao Qi has never been married because he suffers from a hidden disease, and once he is married, his secret cannot be kept.

It is also said that he doesn't even have a single servant girl by his side, all of them are guards of the same color.

It is also said that Zhao Qi followed King An to go out to kill too many people, bear too many blood debts, and was cursed by the heavens.

But Xun Yu didn't believe this at all.

Both the information he got and his intuition told him that Zhao Qi had never been married, but was just waiting for someone.

Pity.

Zhao Qi will never be able to wait.

"Master, who are you trying to plot against?"

Qi Jiu watched for a while, and couldn't help asking.

Xun Yu sneered, "You shouldn't worry about it, don't worry about it."

Qi Jiu: "But your plan, can't I, a master, do it?"

Xun Yu: "..."

Xun Yu really annoyed Qi Jiu to death.

Such a good martial arts master, how come he has a mouth?

"You don't need to worry about anything for the time being, just protect Jinyan's safety." Xun Yu said.

Qi Jiu chuckled, "If you don't tell me, I will swear to protect the eldest lady. The eldest lady and Patriarch Xie are much more generous than you, master."

Xun Yu: "..."

Maybe it's not just the tongue, even the existence of Qi Jiu is a bit redundant.

As soon as Qi Jiu left, a masked man entered the room.

He handed the letter in his hand to Xun Yu, "Master, the son of King Ying set up a trap with Lin Ao and others, intending to invite you into the game and use the power of the world's literati to deal with you."

Xun Yu finished reading the letter with a blank expression, "Since we want to organize a literary conference, they have already started to build momentum at this moment."

"Yes."

Teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, it is always talked about that the number one scholar is a star of Wenqu, who was born to know him, with outstanding literary talent, no one in the world can match him.

They even made up many stories full of legends and myths to prove the authenticity of these evaluations.

Xun Yu sneered: "Then give them a hand, add more fire, and see who can't step down by then!"

"Yes!"

After the dark guard went out, Xun Yu threw the letter in his hand into the brazier.

It is impossible for the son of the king of England to join forces with literati all over the world to do something, and it is impossible to hide it from the eyes of the emperor, but the emperor turned a blind eye, obviously on purpose.

He wanted to sit back and watch the ambitions of the king's son expand and do stupid things, just to take the opportunity to eradicate all the king's family.

I also want to take advantage of the situation to test the ability of the courtiers he has chosen and whether they are worthy of his trust.

Then let the emperor take a look.

……

After the hunt was over, Jin Yan was sent back to Xie Mansion by Prince An's son and the princess.

The princess pulled Jin Yan and talked for a while.

The siblings have practiced martial arts with their master since they were young. Their skin is tanned and their tempers are straightforward.

Therefore, when they saw the obedient and soft Jinyan carved in powder and jade, they all liked her very much and wanted to keep her in Prince An's mansion.

But Jinyan's health is not good, the capital is not suitable for her to cultivate, and Uncle Xie will not allow his only daughter to stay in the capital.

She thought it would be nice to grow up a bit, and when her brother married Jin Yan, they would become a family.

Now they are all grown up, but it is too late.

What should my brother do?

Princess Qionghua felt very regretful, but Jin Yan didn't let Jin Yan see it, she just said softly: "Okay, Yan Yan, let's go home, Uncle Xie should be worried."

Jin Yan nodded.

She got off the carriage and looked at the young man beside the carriage, "Thank you for saving me today, I will definitely come to thank you someday."

Zhao Qi has broad shoulders and narrow waist, and has an excellent figure. His face is as cold and hard as a knife, and it also gives people an inexplicable sense of security.

Zhao Qi looked gentle, "It's a matter of course, I hope sister Jinyan doesn't take it to heart."

As soon as Xun Yu arrived at the door, he heard this sentence.

Sister Jinyan?

Ambition is not small!
Hearing that Jin Yan was saying goodbye, he walked out.

Jin Yan saw Xun Yu at a glance, saw that he was wearing thin clothes, and frowned, "Xun Yu, are you trying to die? Who told you to go out?"

He also told Hu Po to hurry up and get clothes for Xun Yu.

Xun Yu patiently listened to Jin Yan's chanting, and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, don't be angry, I heard that you are back, I'll pick you up."

Jin Yan shot him an angry look, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Prince An's eyes darkened as he watched this scene.

He could no longer ignore the dull pain in his chest.

They met so early.

Why is he still one step late?
 I wish you all a happy New Year's Day~ Take protection and have a happy holiday ^-^
