after little snake

Chapter 158 Volume [-] 'Hunting' in progress

Zhenbei General Mansion


The sun was faint, without the burning eyes of yesterday.At the corner of the tall courtyard wall, weeds and wild flowers sway in the wind.


A brown horse stopped outside the mansion, and Zheng Shaochu, who was dressed in a blue robe, stepped off the horse.


"The general is back."


As soon as the guard saw Zheng Shaochu's figure, he immediately went up to take the horse from him.


Zheng Shaochu nodded, and strode towards the mansion.


In the yard, the flowers are colorful and the trees are green.


Zheng Xiaoyue, who was dressed in a white dress, was holding a soft sword and wielding it. Her figure was like lightning, and her sword moves were soft but vigorous.The toes touched the ground, and the figure flew up, like a dragon dancing.


Zheng Shaochu nodded straightly when he saw it, his daughters are indeed not those annoying women who only cry and cry.The heart is higher than the sky, comparable to a man.


"Okay..." He clapped his hands and applauded his daughter.


Hearing his voice, Zheng Xiaoyue retreated gracefully, retracted the sword, and looked at Zheng Shaochu with a smile.


"Father, you are back."


"En." Zheng Shaochu nodded and walked towards Zheng Xiaoyue.


"Yue'er's skill is getting better day by day. I'm afraid it won't be long before even father is no match for you." pride of face.


"Father won the award, my daughter can't compare to you." Zheng Xiaoyue said modestly, very calm.


Zheng Shaochu nodded in satisfaction.


"Father, has the empress's injury improved?" Zheng Xiaoyue asked suddenly, she couldn't forget the scene when the empress appeared, she was like a fairy descending to earth.Cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky, the queen is wearing a fiery red skirt, the skirt is swaying, and the hair is fluttering. That stunning figure is unforgettable.But later on, her awe-inspiring aura and miraculous mana made people unable to take their eyes off her.Such a queen is unprecedented, but the news of her assassination suddenly came unexpectedly, which is really shocking.It would be a pity if such a queen would never wake up.


"I heard from people in the palace that the time is running out." Zheng Shaochu also shook his head regretfully.


Zheng Xiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect it to be true.Pursing her lips, she suddenly asked:

"Father, has the murderer been caught? Who has the guts to assassinate the Queen?" He dared to commit the crime of exterminating the Nine Clans.


"Not yet." Zheng Shaochu shook his head, looking at his daughter strangely.


"Xiaoyue is very concerned about the Queen's affairs?"


Zheng Xiaoyue was taken aback by his question, then raised her eyebrows and said with a slight smile:


"My daughter just thinks that the empress is not a simple character, not to mention she is the reincarnation of a snake god. It would be a pity if she could not escape the pursuit of death like this."


Zheng Shaochu thinks about it too, it's a pity that a legendary woman like the queen died, but no matter what, the imperial doctor can't help it, and they can't help it either.


"The murderer hasn't been found yet." I don't know whether the murderer is going to assassinate the emperor and the queen is the emperor's shield, or the murderer is targeting the queen at all?

Zheng Xiaoyue obviously also thought of this question, and lowered her head slightly to think about it.


"General, Miss." Fu Bo, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, came over in a black shirt.


"Fubo, what's the matter?" Zheng Xiaoyue raised her head and asked.


"Back to the general, miss, a young man outside sent a letter just now, saying it was for the general." As he spoke, Uncle Fu presented the letter.


Zheng Shaochu and his daughter looked at each other, and took the letter blankly.When he opened it, he was shocked.


"Father, what did you say in the letter?" Zheng Xiaoyue asked curiously seeing Zheng Shaochu's sudden change of expression.


Zheng Shaochu waved to Uncle Fu on one side, and after he left, he looked around, and after making sure that there was no one there, he went to Zheng Xiaoyue and said:


"Xiaoyue, this letter says that the person behind the scenes who hurt the queen is the prime minister."


"What?" Zheng Xiaoyue exclaimed, and rolled her eyes around, then lowered her voice and whispered:

"No way, how could it be the prime minister?" How could the prime minister send someone to assassinate the empress?

Zheng Shaochu shook his head with a dignified expression:

"The matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly." Besides, the letter came out of nowhere.I have to be serious, who knows if someone had a grudge against the prime minister on purpose, or if it was really him?Alas, headache.


"Father, what should we do now?" It is not easy to say that the prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people is the mastermind of assassinating the queen.


"This letter is well-founded and dubious. I will go to Prince Deqing now to discuss with him." Although Zheng Shaochu was straightforward, he was not reckless.Since the emperor decided to handle the matter with the three of them, he was afraid that someone would be involved in this matter.


"Okay." Zheng Xiaoyue nodded.


So Zheng Shaochu left in a hurry, and now he left in a hurry.


Deqing Palace

Just as Prince Deqing put down the booklet in his hand, he heard footsteps coming from outside the study.


"My lord."


Sure enough, the butler's voice was heard in a moment.


"Come in." Prince Deqing called out lightly.


"I've seen the prince." The housekeeper in a green shirt walked into the study, and bowed to the prince of Deqing.


"What's the matter?"


"Return to the prince, General Zhenbei is out to see you."


"Oh?" Prince Deqing raised his eyebrows, why is he here?Thinking in my heart, but without hesitation, I stood up and walked outside.


"Let's go and have a look."
