Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 165 Exceptions
Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows and said, "What kind of weird method is it?"

"The emperor's temperament is restless, and now he is not in charge of the government. Only when there is a banquet in the palace or an envoy from a foreign country will he have the opportunity to show up... The government is still in the hands of the British Duke. He is in his spare time. I like to read idle books, or go to sit with the concubine. What I often do is to walk in the imperial garden. But my people in the palace said that these days the emperor does not often go to the imperial garden, and he doesn’t see many people. Only the people who serve him on weekdays know the whereabouts of the emperor. The emperor often summons the Duke of England these days, and the two of them talk for more than two hours in the imperial study. I don't know what they are talking about. The emperor can't hide what's on his mind. , I'm really worried about what he said is inappropriate, if he reveals his flaws, it will be troublesome."

Huo Shijiu spoke in a low voice, but clearly expressed his frustration and worry.Jiang Wu looked worried, and covered his hand with his.Her hand was warm, while his was slightly cold. Huo Shijiu seemed unaccustomed to the sudden temperature, his fingers flinched, and Jiang Wu immediately held his fingers.

Cao Yuwen's eyes glanced at the hands they held, and he turned his eyes away abruptly and lifted the car curtain. It was already dark outside the window, with dark clouds gathering, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming. Then he put down the car curtain and said softly: " From this point of view, it looks like the emperor is very close to the Duke of England."

"But it's impossible for the emperor to be that close to the Duke of England." Jiang Wu asked Huo Shijiu: "Have your people ever seen the emperor come out?"

Huo Shijiu played with Jiang Wu's fingers and shook his head: "Because no one except the people around the emperor saw the emperor coming out and walking around, and idlers have no right to approach the emperor's side, I felt something strange. With the emperor's temper, How could he bear it after staying in the house for a long time, he should have come out to play long ago when he was idle and bored."

When Jiang Wu heard this, there was only one thought in her heart, no matter what the situation looked like, the emperor was controlled by the Duke of England.

But after thinking about it, I felt wrong.The little emperor is starting to deal with the Duke of England, otherwise he would not have given all the tiger charms to Huo Shijiu, and also agreed to use fire as an order.Could this be his tactic to lure the enemy in?First relax the vigilance of the British public, and then try to act?

The expressions in Jiang Wu's eyes change rapidly, but they are all beautiful.While admiring her beauty, Huo Shijiu felt that she knew the danger but was still very moved for him. Even if she was moved, her deep voice was even more gentle: "Wu'er, what are you thinking?"

Jiang Wu came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, since the emperor gave the order, he must be fully prepared, as you said, we will just obey orders." Just be careful everywhere.

Of course, Jiang Wu would not say this in front of Huo Shijiu, lest he would be angry at her for disrespecting his monarch.

Huo Shijiu nodded, and his brows stretched a little. Maybe he shouldn't always treat the emperor as a child, but should also give him room and leeway to play.

While talking, the downpour of rain suddenly fell, and it made a crackling sound when it hit the roof of the carriage shed. There was a rustling sound of rain all around, and the humid air was surging. Cao Yu asked, "Do you want to find a place to shelter from the rain first?"

Huo Shijiu shook his head and said, "It's better for us to show up less. At this juncture, nothing can go wrong."

Cao Yu nodded, then raised the curtain of the carriage and gave some instructions to the driver.

The coachman was originally the dead man next to Huo Shijiu, so it was rare for him to drive the carriage in the rain, so he immediately agreed, and drove the carriage quickly and steadily, and arrived at the courtyard in the west of the city not long after.

The house is a small courtyard with two entrances. The mottled black lacquered wooden door was only knocked twice, and a plump daughter-in-law in her forties came out with an umbrella. When she saw Huo Shijiu, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, rich and noble!" Brother, why are you here?"

"Cousin." Huo Shijiu smiled, pulled Jiang Wu over and said, "This is my wife, we came to see you."

"This is Qiuju, come in, come in." The daughter-in-law welcomed Huo Shijiu, Jiang Wu, and Cao Yu into the courtyard, and heard the daughter-in-law say loudly to the curious neighbor: "It's my cousin!" ...my home is in the south...I came here to visit."

Huo Shijiu thought it was funny, and flicked Jiang Wu's forehead with his fingers: "Qiu Ju."

Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Rich."

Both of them thought it was funny, Jiang Wu said seriously: "Don't say it, it would be nice if your name is Huo Fugui."

"Father didn't even hold back the word rich and honor back then." Huo Shijiu said helplessly.

Thinking of Huo Dashuan's ability to name children, Jiang Wu really can't compliment her.

The small house is an ordinary two-entry courtyard. The front yard lives with the wife, wife and their young son just now, and the backyard is very tidy.

When they arrived at the main room in the backyard, the daughter-in-law, her husband, and the youngest son all entered the room and kowtowed: "Young Master Huo, my wife greets you, I have offended you a lot in front of the door, please forgive me. "

Huo Jiuduan sat in the first place, although he was dressed in coarse cloth, he still had a noble temperament, playing with the cigarette bag with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't be rigid, you have done a good job. Get up."

"Thank you Master Huo."

Both the couple and the young man stood up, bowing their heads respectfully and standing aside.

"You go about your business, just treat us as distant relatives, and you don't have to come and wait on us."

"Yes." The three bowed and retreated.

Not long after, the daughter-in-law came in again with a brass kettle, mixed warm water in the wooden basin placed on the washbasin shelf in front of the door, put a brand new towel, turned around and said respectfully: "Please wash your hands. "

Huo Shijiu smiled and waved his hands, signaling her to back down, then went to twist the handkerchief and went into the inner room to pull Jiang Wu over to wipe her face.

"I'll do it myself." Jiang Wu hurriedly went to pick up his handkerchief.

"No, I'm still here. There's no one around these days to serve you. I'll do all the work of serving tea and water, combing hair and hairpins." Huo Shijiu looked at her persistently, and raised the handkerchief high with the other hand The difference in height between the two of them made Jiang Wu unable to get the handkerchief even if she stood on tiptoe, but her beautiful eyes seemed to be wronged, as if she would bully him if she didn't let him serve her.

It was rare for him to be so domineering, Jiang Wu didn't want to betray his kindness, so she could only sigh: "Okay, I'll help you then, I'll help you wash and wash later."

"Okay!" Huo Shijiu happily wiped Jiang Wu's face, but he had never served anyone before, so it was inevitable that he was clumsy. He wiped Jiang Wu's face red, and even poked her nose twice with his hand wrapped in a handkerchief. .

After wiping her face and hands, Huo Shijiu dropped the veil and went to fetch the wooden comb, but asked Jiang Wu to undo the two twisted braids and recomb her bun.

Seeing that he looked like a child who had found a new toy, Jiang Wu couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to obediently sit on the kang and let him comb her hair.

It was raining heavily outside the house, but the house was warmed up by the tranquility and softness of the two of them.

At the same time, in the British Government House, Tan Guang took an umbrella and went up to Danchi, half of his body was drenched by the rain, but he didn't care. When he arrived at the front hall, he threw the umbrella to the boy in the corridor, and then he lifted the curtain and went in.

"Master Guo." Tan Guang saluted, and said respectfully: "Our people have already returned. It is said that Huo Ying was indeed in the same carriage with his wife, and then left, but he caught up with the team after a while. , because of the heavy rain, they have already stopped in a ruined temple not far from the city."

"Really." The British Duke combed his beard with a delicate ivory comb with red tassels, and said with a smile, "This is interesting. I thought it was because he followed him, but I didn't expect him to follow him." It really disappoints me that my parents and relatives are traveling together.”

Tan Guang smiled obsequiously: "The Duke of the State is as good at predicting things as God, and he is also known to be majestic. How can we be afraid that they will make more troubles?"

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years, the more you can't make mistakes at this juncture." Britain said fairly: "Since they really left, that's all. We still have serious business to do, just let them leave."

"What the Duke said is very true. It's just..." Tan Guang hesitated a little, but still said what he wanted in his heart: "Master Guo, since we have reached this point now, it's better to cut the weeds and root them out," compared Killing gesture: "Since it is uncertain whether Huo Ying can be used by you in the future, why keep him?"

"Am I the devil who kills people without blinking an eye?" The British Duke stood up, put the ivory comb in the bag hanging on his waist, and then took the watering can to water the gladiolus, with a leisurely posture and a gentle smile, just like ordinary people. The old man: "You, you are too one-sided in thinking. Do you want to kill all those who can't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy? There are always all kinds of people in this world. It's good for me to let him play his own role. Hope is either black or white."

Since Tan Guang has been able to follow the British Duke for so many years, he has some ability in planning.

It's just that he has figured out the British Duke's temper. The older he gets, the more the British Duke likes to hear people praise him.The Duke of England likes to deliberately pretend to be clumsy to get him to talk like this, so he is happy to make a fool of himself.

"What the Duke said is very true. It's because I didn't think carefully." Tan Guang smiled flatteringly, and said: "Then according to the Lord, let them go back to Jinzhou?"

Britain said: "Feel free, it's important to do serious things first, can you prepare for what I asked you?"

"Don't worry, it's already been prepared."

%
Jiang Wu, Huo Shijiu, and Cao Yu lived in the small house for two days in a blink of an eye.

Although she didn't say it in her mouth, in her heart, Jiang Wu was always worried about Qi Jin, thinking about where her family members should go every day.

But she also has her own pastime, for example, the ready-made master is here, of course she asks to teach, so every morning, when the sky turns pale, Jiang Wu will find Cao Yu to practice boxing and kicking in the backyard.

Cao Yu received the true biography of a famous teacher, and his boxing techniques are naturally unambiguous, but Jiang Wu's punishment was the military boxing that he used in countless actual combats. It seems that there are no tricks, but there are many changes under one move.Every time Cao Yu fights with her, he has to be 12 yuan careful.
