Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 169
Huo Shijiu never thought of himself as a weak person before, even if he was not as powerful as Kong Wu, nor as handsome as Cao Yu.However, he has never failed in planning and attacking decisively. Over the years, he has kept the emperor, planned secretly, pretended to be a fool, and pretended to be false in front of the British Duke and his henchmen. Although he was tired, he was always relieved.

But now, he hated himself more than ever.

After several times of dangerous situations, the bottom line is that all the reasons are on the British Duke!
As long as he still covets the throne, what's the use of taking precautions?

Wasn't what happened this time under his guard?Although it was done by the little emperor, it also gave him a warning.

As long as anyone who understands the personnel structure around him can formulate a perfect plan: Cao Yu is highly skilled in martial arts, so he will be drugged so that he cannot perform kung fu.There are many guards around him, so thousands of troops will deal with it.And there is the human heart, how many guards are as fearless as Jiang Wu, who would rather take their lives to save him?
He is a man, he is a strong man, he can't count on others to save him every time, especially Jiang Wu who should be protected under his wings!
He can't wait any longer, the best defense is to counterattack!
Huo Shijiu held Jiang Wu's hand, feeling her fingers were cold, so he hurriedly held it with both hands.

In any case, at this moment, he was grateful to God for allowing her to return to him safely.He couldn't imagine what his future would be like if she really died.Maybe like a walking dead, or try your best to hit the Duke of England with a broken heart?
he does not know.I don't want to experience that despair again.Only at this time did he know how much he cared about Jiang Wu.This girl who is 11 years younger than him has left such a deep mark on his heart.When he even thought of the day when he would be old and old, he would die first and leave her alone in this world, he felt like a knife was being cut out of his heart.Maybe he should work hard and keep some of their children with her...

When Huo Nineteen was thinking wildly, there was a cautious call from outside.

"master……"

The one who can call him that way must not be one of his own.

"Come in."

As soon as the bamboo curtain was lifted, the round-faced girl who had just been thrown to the ground by him entered the door, quickly glanced at him and Jiang Wu, saluted awkwardly, and said timidly: "Master, the master outside ordered I'll take care of Mrs.

Bingsong and Tingyu around Jiang Wu followed Zhao to go to the fief first, and the other four maids stayed in the mansion to look after the house, and there was indeed no one around her to serve.

Huo Shijiu thought about going back to fetch Bingsong and Tingyu, and said: "You go fetch water first, I want to wash and change clothes."

"Yes." Xiaojuan hurried out.

Xu was unfamiliar with everything, so it took a while to prepare Huo Shijiu's clothes, and it took her a long time before she came back with Cao Yu.

Cao Yu had already washed himself, and he was wearing a light blue cross-collar muslin straight gown and a scholar's square scarf on his head, and walked in front of him in a chic manner.

Xiaojuan was carrying a brass kettle and following behind with the clothes she had just bought, and couldn't help but sneak a peek at Cao Yu.Unexpectedly, this sloppy young man just now is actually a handsome man.

Cao Yu was uncomfortable being stared at by the little girl, but Xiaojuan was just a simple country girl who had never seen the world, and her eyes were pure curiosity, so he didn't criticize her harshly.He just entered the house first, and said in the outer room, "Master."

There was a rustling sound in the room, and after a while, Huo Shijiu came out.

Xiaojuan hurriedly mixed warm water, helped Huo Shijiu wash his face, brought a razor, stared at Huo Jiujiu who was sitting in an armchair with his eyes closed and rested in a daze, gestured left and right, but dared not drop the knife.

Huo Shijiu seemed to have sensed something, opened his eyes, saw Xiaojuan's distressed look, and said, "Go down."

The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if the cool air between heaven and earth had melted into it. Even though his hair was messy, his temples were dripping with water, and his beard was unshaven, his appearance at this moment was a little more unrestrained and unrestrained. With a glance in her eyes, Xiaojuan blushed at first, but after listening to his short four words, she felt a blow in her heart.Putting down the razor dejectedly, he was about to go down.

Huo Shijiu suddenly remembered that there was still a shortage of manpower around Jiang Wu, so he said: "Go and serve Madam first, just like you do these days."

Xiaojuan nodded repeatedly in surprise, "Thank you, master!" She happily went into the back room.

Huo Shijiu shaves, combs his hair and changes clothes by himself.

Perhaps it was Jiao Zhongyi's order, the clothes are well-fitting ready-to-wear, although the material is not as expensive as the ones Huo Shijiu usually wears, the color is dark purple that suits Huo Shijiu very well.

After fastening the silver belt buckle, Huo Shijiu asked Cao Yu, "Where's Jiao Zhongyi?"

"I just told the accompanying soldiers some rules outside, and it is estimated that they will come soon."

"Yes. Moran, I have something to trouble you."

"My lord just orders."

"Wu'er doesn't have a suitable person around me. You go to the Hou's mansion and bring Bingsong and Tingyu. If my parents ask, just say that there are some temporary things here, and you can't go back immediately. Wait for it to be done." After finishing what the emperor ordered, we will naturally move back to the Hou's mansion. Don't disclose the news that we are in the farm, lest parents come and feel distressed and worried when they see Wu'er like this."

Cao Yu thought for a while and said, "Master, it's better to let someone else go, I don't trust you here."

Huo Shijiu wouldn't have cared about it, but he had to be cautious when he was lucky enough to harm others and himself. He nodded immediately and said, "Then give me orders."

Cao Yu cupped his hands and said yes, and hurried out.

Not long after, Jiao Zhongyi came.Huo Shijiu went with him to the front main hall, turned away the others, and made tea himself.

Jiao Zhongyi hurriedly took it with both hands, thank you.

After being seated safely, Huo Shijiu said: "After traveling for more than half a month, you should know something about the situation in Kyoto."

Jiao Zhongyi was originally worried that Huo Shijiu would use him first to question his teacher. After all, he had played him on such a big matter, and he thought it would be a big deal to kowtow and admit his mistake.

Unexpectedly, Huo Shijiu didn't mention this matter, but first asked about the situation in the court.

Jiao Zhongyi finally had some new understanding of the "jester and traitor" that the emperor insisted on protecting, and his face was much more respectful, and he said with a heavy face: "The news came three days ago that the emperor is seriously ill. Represented by the British government, all the memorials are handled by the British government, and the Zhu batch has been changed to the blue batch."

Huo Jiujiu's heart skipped a beat, his face was solemn, he pursed his lips tightly, and said for a long while, "Do you know why the emperor is in such a sudden illness?"

"It's said that the emperor was playful, climbed the roof and fell down, and then passed out..." At this point, the burly man slapped the table: "Damn, what kind of sloppy excuse is this! I think it's clearly the old thief who wanted to Be Dong Zhuo!"

Huo Shijiu waved his hand, and said very calmly, "General Jiao, be calm and don't be impatient. Be careful and have ears through the walls."

After shouting, Jiao Zhongyi realized that he was too excited just now, and his voice was too loud, so he sat down awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Don't blame the Marquis, the general is really too anxious."

Although Jiao Zhongyi is a martial artist, he is not lacking in heart and lungs. Can the emperor hand over the tiger talisman to a thief?Since the emperor wanted to protect him and gave him the power to deploy the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Fifth Army Battalion, it meant that this man had something extraordinary after all, and now seeing him calm and calm in situations, there is no legend The enchanting and seductive energy in the middle, clearly a cool and dignified aristocrat, immediately stopped many contemptuous thoughts, and added that he was grateful to him for being open-minded and not pursuing it, so he became more respectful.

Huo Nineteen's index finger tapped lightly on the table. The slow and regular sound, like a heartbeat, gradually calmed down one's impetuous heart.

"The situation is tense now. You and I may have been watched by the British public here. If there is any change, the higher-ups will be alarmed. The British public can do even that kind of thing. Feel free to charge you and me, and then frame me for stealing." If you use the Tiger Talisman to seek rebellion and send troops to quell the chaos, you and I will only die once."

"What Hou Ye said is very true!" Jiao Zhongyi nodded repeatedly.

"So you and I don't act rashly, and we need to think of a perfect plan. The emperor may not have just fallen, maybe he was just under house arrest, and we don't know. You and I don't need to panic first. If the emperor has something to do, he is as anxious as we are, and will There are plenty of people who are doing it now."

"You mean... Qingliu?" Jiao Zhongyi said, his eyes lit up.

Huo Jiujiu nodded slightly, and took a sip of tea gracefully.

Although it was a very ordinary white porcelain tea bowl, but in his slender and white fingers, the tea bowl looked luxurious.

"General Jiao, I trouble you to pay close attention to the situation in the capital these days. I think your people will send you messages frequently. I am new to Jinzhou, and I have not touched many things for a long time. I still need to adapt for a while."

Huo Shijiu said it euphemistically, the so-called "long time no contact", isn't it the half month that Jiao Zhongyi tied him up?
Jiao Zhongyi's old face blushed, and he was grateful to Huo Shijiu for not pursuing it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the general will not disgrace his mission."

"Then there is General Law."

Huo Shijiu instructed Jiao Zhongyi some things in detail, for example, the soldiers under his command should not reveal their identities to the people in the farm, just say that he is accompanying him as an escort, and they are not allowed to go out without orders, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble Get the attention of the British public again...

Huo Shijiu was thoughtful and thoughtful, and he didn't talk much. He was often concise but could hit the nail on the head, which really moved Jiao Zhongyi deeply.

When everything was discussed and Jiao Zhongyi was about to leave, he said with a hearty smile: "Sure enough, the rumors are unbelievable. Master Hou is such a bright and clear person. It was Lao Jiao who used to be the one. Because of your low reputation, you always feel that you are a jester and you deserve to be beaten, so Lao Jiao just started to play tricks on you, and today I really regret it, and ask Lord Hou to forgive me." He knelt down on one knee with his hands folded.

Huo Shijiu smiled and helped him up, jokingly said, "General Jiao doesn't think I deserve to be beaten now? I'm not a jester anymore?"

"You are a living person in front of me, and you are much more credible than those rumors. The rumors are false, and I am afraid that some people deliberately added fuel to slander the Lord Hou. Lao Jiao is convinced now, the emperor is wise, and his eyes recognize talents!" He said with a hearty smile again.
