Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 335 Affectionate and ruthless
No one has ever dared to treat Xuanyuan Ming like this before. In an instant, Xuanyuan Ming's whole body was full of murderous aura, and he was about to kill the guard with his backhand. However, before he could react, the guard suddenly let go of his hand and smiled. Meet a middle-aged man dressed as a teenager.

"What's going on?" The middle-aged man looked at the backs of Xuanyuan Ming and Chai Hui and asked.

The guard took a step forward, bowed his hands, and replied: "General Xu, these two people have been wandering around the gate of this city in a sneaky way, and I suspect that they are..."

"What is it?" The middle-aged man called General Xu raised his voice and asked.

The guard touched the back of his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I suspect that they... are from Shengjing!"

"Oh? Really?" After hearing this, General Xu strode forward, walked around Xuanyuan Ming and Chai Hui, squinted his eyes for a closer look, then raised his cheeks again, wondering what he was thinking about, for a long time, General Xu slapped the little soldier on the head, and said angrily: "What are you messing around with, look at these two people, they are so big and tall, how can they look like the group of sick people from Shengjing? Don't be careless." Arresting people indiscriminately, sparing the hearts of the people and ruining the prince, can you afford it?"

General Xu waved at Xuanyuan Ming and Chai Hui, and said, "Come on, go back where you came from, the nearest city It's not very peaceful outside the city, don't get involved and you don't know it yet!"

Before Prince Xuanyuan Ming could speak, Chai Hui at the side hurriedly bowed his body and agreed: "Yes, yes, thank you general!" After saying that, Chai Hui hurriedly pulled Xuanyuan Ming away.

Although Chai Hui had a lot of bad ideas, he was a coward after all, but Shicai thought that General Xu was simple-minded, and he and Xuanyuan Ming got a big deal by luck.

Xuanyuanming, who was forcibly pulled back to the garrison tent, was full of displeasure, and Chai Hui had to find ways to make him happy. After this time, Chai Hui had realized that the situation in the northern border was not what he, a layman, thought Simple, I can't help but feel a little fear in my heart, I talk too much on weekdays, but when things come to an end, he has to consider his own personal safety and the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince, so he no longer dares to mention in front of Xuanyuan Ming that he wants to take him It's about going out to play.

And the general Xu who "helped" Xuanyuan Ming and Chai Hui escape outside the city gate, after entering the city, seemed to deliberately bypass a few claustrophobic alleys, and finally bumped into Xuanyuan Jue at the end of the alley.

General Xu raised his head and saw Xuanyuan Jue, took two steps back with great measure, bowed his body, and said, "Master!"

"What's urgent?" Xuanyuan Jue asked, always leaning sideways.

General Xu nodded and replied, "Guess who I bumped into outside the city gate just now?"

"Could it be that he's here?" Xuanyuan Jue's handsome face seemed to be unmoved.

"My lord, you are really good at predicting things!" General Xu couldn't help looking at Xuanyuan Jue with a little more admiration in his eyes, "This subordinate has sent them back according to my lord's wishes!"

"Very good!" A contemptuous smile curled up on the corners of Xuanyuan Jue's lips, "Afterwards, we should just sit back and reap the benefits!"

It has been a day since Xuanyuan Ming led his people to station outside Xiangyang City, but there has been no movement. This made Situ Yue and many of his soldiers feel uneasy. Because they have never had real contact with Xuanyuan Ming, they have no way of judging Xuanyuan Ming's true strength. There is no way to guess his mind.

All the generals below were talking about the current situation facing Xiangyang, but Situ Yue on the high seat was always absent-minded, looking outside from time to time.

"My lord, I feel that we still can't wait like this. They are so blatantly stationing troops outside my city of Xiangyang. If we don't react, don't we think that my soldiers in the north are all vegetarians?" one of them said. said the young general.

Originally, this time was the best time to boost morale, but Situ Yue remained silent, which made the hearts of the generals beating.

Now that the matter has come to this, is it possible that the master they serve is also afraid?
Just at this time, General Xu entered the hall in a hurry. Situ Yue stood up abruptly, called him forward, and asked urgently, "How is it? Have you found your son?"

General Xu shook his head helplessly, "The humble officer has led people to search everywhere in and outside the city, but he has never found a trace of Mr. Lei!"

Hearing what General Xu said, Situ Yue was disappointed, "How could it be..."

He didn't believe that his son would disappear for no reason, unless he was caught by something and couldn't come back...

Thinking about Situ Lei in his heart, Situ Yue didn't have the heart to analyze the current situation with his subordinates, he beckoned and said, "Go, invite Xuanyuan Jue to me!"

"Yes--"

Not long after, Xuanyuan Jue was brought in, and General Xu stood beside Situ Yue, without looking sideways, and the tacit understanding between him and Xuanyuan Jue was flawless.

"The king of Xiangyang is so anxious to see this king, has everything been arranged properly?" Xuanyuan Jue flicked his sleeves, and sat calmly under Situ Yue's hands.

Situ Yue said solemnly: "My people have never been able to find Lei'er's whereabouts. I don't know where King Jing is...do you have any clues?"

"Me?" Xuanyuan Jue pointed at himself amusedly, "The King of Xiangyang is used to making jokes. Now this king is detained by the King of Xiangyang in the palace of the King of Xiangyang. All actions are under the control of the King of Xiangyang. Even the people of the King of Xiangyang can't do it." What is this king capable of doing?" Xuanyuan Jue said, but he picked up the untouched tea on the case and sipped it leisurely.

The tea is cold, but it does not affect its quality and taste.

There was obviously some anger in Xuanyuan Jue's words, how could Situ Yue not hear it, Situ Yue sighed silently, "Up to now, this king only wants me, Lei'er, to be safe and sound, if something happens to me, Lei'er, I will do it What's the point of all this?"

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Jue gently put the teacup on the table, "Has King Xiangyang ever thought that this northern border is your territory, if you say, on your territory, you can't find any information about it?" If there is any trace of Lei Shizi, who else in this world has the ability to do things so seamlessly?"

Xuanyuan Jue's words had been made clear, no matter how slow Situ Yue was, he should have reacted.

After a long time, Situ Yue couldn't bear to say: "He is a member of Tianyi Sect!"

Xuanyuan Jue nodded, "Perhaps the King of Xiangyang can think more deeply, for example, who is the master that Tianyimen is loyal to now..."

"It's Xuanyuanming!"

Finally, Situ Yue was led into the trap set by Xuanyuan Jue.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was strangely dignified. Xuanyuan Jue noticed that Situ Yue's fists hanging by his side were slightly clenched. He thought that he had successfully ignited the anger in Situ Yue's chest.

That night, Xuanyuan Jue was sitting alone in the room. There were soft footsteps outside the room, but he didn't move, and sat firmly all the time.

Finally, there was a knock on the door——

"Come in!" Xuanyuan Jue said.

Outside the door, Cui Wenxiao was wrapped in a thick jacket and braved the cold wind to push the door in.

Xuanyuan Jue didn't even look at it, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"You knew I would come?" Cui Wenxiao naturally sat down opposite Xuanyuan Jue, holding the hot tea on the table. The hot tea was still steaming, but it couldn't warm the chill in her heart.

"Not only do I know that you are coming, but I also know the purpose of your coming." Xuanyuan Jue said without hesitation.

Cui Wenxiao smiled coldly, "I know you're smart, you're as smart as Wan'er, I'm the only one who's stupid." Cui Wenxiao covered his lips and coughed, "Recently, I've thought about A lot, after thinking about it, this kind of thing can only be used to its greatest extent in your hands."

Xuanyuan Jue watched as Cui Wenxiao took out a boxy brocade box from his bosom. The brocade box was not opened, but he had already guessed what was in the brocade box.

That is the seal of the Cui family, holding it can command all the forces of the Cui family in the northern border.

Now that Cui Wenxiao took the initiative to hand over the seal to Xuanyuan Jue, it had obviously expressed the attitude and position of the Cui family.

This has always been what Xuanyuan Jue expected, but now, when the situation really developed as he thought, he couldn't get the slightest bit of happiness in his heart.

I always feel that behind such success, there must be cruel sacrifices hidden.

Cui Wenxiao pushed the small brocade box in front of Xuanyuan Jue, and sighed: "That day, I was the one who lent you into the city, and I am sorry for you."

Xuanyuan Jue didn't speak.

"But I'm not you, and I'm not late. I don't have a smart mind like yours. I can handle things calmly or even adapt to the situation. I'm just a weak woman. I will try my best to do what I can, but I also have my difficulties. ..." When talking about this, Cui Wenxiao's eyes were full of tears, but she suppressed the tears and did not shed them.

"Just like this time, Wan'er was in danger because of me..." Cui Wenxiao suddenly looked at Xuanyuan Jue firmly, "Actually, I know, you didn't kill her at all! Wan'er is still alive, right?" Perhaps, for Cui Wenxiao didn't know enough about Xuanyuan Jue's other qualities, but Cui Wenxiao watched Xuanyuan Jue's feelings for Xie Wanqing all the way. She couldn't be more clear, how could Xuanyuan Jue easily hurt Xie Wanqing?

Regarding this question, Xuanyuan Jue did not answer Cui Wenxiao directly. Facing Cui Wenxiao, Xuanyuan Jue always had a grudge against her. This woman...is no longer the kind and innocent Cui Wenxiao she was back then. He does not give in humbly, has been struggling with various contradictions, and even lost himself because of it.

Gu Buqi tonight, Situ Yue used her to test himself, Xuanyuan Jue thought so, and when he looked at Cui Wenxiao in front of him, he had already changed his mood.

"You guessed wrong, I love Wan'er, but I love this country even more!" Xuanyuan Jue replied rather ruthlessly.
