Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 253
The little emperor lowered his eyes, and there was no expression on Rong Chang's face.Therefore, Jing Tong, who was good at observing words and expressions, could not figure out the real meaning from the emperor's face.

He was a little flustered, lying on the ground, even his back began to tremble.It seems that he underestimated Huo Jiujiu's status in the little emperor's mind.

"What did I do to give you the illusion that I don't trust Brother Ying?"

Although the emperor didn't yell loudly, it was clear from his tone that he was suppressing his anger.

Jing Tong didn't dare to say any more, and pressed his forehead to the ground, repeatedly pleading guilty: "This slave deserves to die, and this slave is only for the sake of the emperor, so he speaks without choice. How can this slave think that the emperor doesn't trust Marquis Jin Ning? On the contrary, The slave is only worried when he sees that the emperor trusts Jin Ninghou too much, for fear that you will regret it in exchange for your wholeheartedness."

Jing Tong is very intelligent, and during the days with the little emperor, he has already grasped his temperament clearly.He knew that if he only knew how to beg for mercy verbally at this moment, the little emperor might not let him go, he might as well grasp it now, it might be a good opportunity to show his loyalty.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words, the little emperor's gloomy expression lightened a little.But still do not speak.

Jing Tong was afraid of making mistakes, so he only dared to think carefully and said: "This slave is dedicated to the emperor. Whether the Marquis of Jin Ning is good or bad, he is not the master of the slave. The only master of the slave is the emperor." After finishing speaking, he bent down on the ground, No more words.

And this sentence is precisely what the little emperor likes to hear most now.Although he bears the name of an emperor, on the surface he is a wealthy ninety-five-year-old, in fact, how many people really think highly of him, wholeheartedly for him, and only have him as his master in their hearts?He counted with his fingers, no more than ten, right?

"That's all, you get up." The little emperor waved his hands casually, already looking calm and breezy.

Jing Tong took a deep breath, stood up and bowed his head.

The little emperor said quickly: "I know you are doing it for my own good. I said earlier that I wanted to see if Brother Ying is no longer working in the Jinyiwei yamen. Can you use the people of Jinyiwei? Let Brother Ying do it himself without my decree." My idea. I remember it in my heart. But Brother Ying is not an idiot. He has sat in the position of commander of Jinyiwei for so long. How can he have no one under his command? His people and family have never been behind my back , but at this moment, under the strength of the British Duke, he can gather people and directly break into Zhao's house, which makes me look at him with admiration."

Jing Tong didn't dare to say any more nonsense, the words he had just said were enough to express his meaning, so he just echoed them.

The little emperor seemed to think of something, and slowly clenched the fingers holding the armrest of the armchair with the ruby ​​ring tightly, the fingertips turned white due to the force, and then suddenly let go.

"Forget it, I'm a little hungry too, let's pass the supper."

"Slave is going now." Jing Tong wiped off his sweat, and hurried out.

In the carriage, Jiang Wu snuggled into Huo Shijiu's arms, with her side face pressed against his chest, the brocade cotton dress felt slightly cool to the touch.

Jiang Wu knew that the coldest thing at the moment should be Huo Shijiu's heart.

He gave everything for the little emperor, and he had already made up his mind to throw his head and blood, and completely trusted him without any secrets. When he learned that the little emperor was murdered inhumanely, he even lost his habit of keeping a clear mind for many years. Ignoring it, I hid in the study alone and got drunk and cried a lot.

So sincere, so tempting, but today he found out that the little emperor was hiding his heart from him.He was guarding against him, and he still dismantled it in front of the British Duke.

The rumors that Huo Shijiu's wife gave him a cuckold have not subsided, and the accusation that Jiang is an unfeminine enchantress has long been solidly placed on Jiang Wu. The parents-in-law can't tolerate this bitch who has cheated on her. In order to have another chance to pass on the inheritance and have a "spare" hope, the little emperor doesn't care about their life or death. Huo Shijiu made a knife.

Jiang Wu didn't want to talk at all at the moment, and she didn't know what to say to make Huo Shijiu not so sad.

There was nothing unusual about him, he was as calm as usual, holding her in his arms was still cherished as always, Jiang Wu realized that maybe the little emperor's position in Huo Shijiu's heart was far beyond what she thought.If Huo Shijiu could yell at him or throw something to vent his anger, Jiang Wu might feel relieved.But at this time, he was so calm that it made people panic.

"Aying."

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking, if I want to arrange for my father and mother to leave, where is the place to stay?"

Jiang Wu's eyes widened in surprise, although she was still in Huo Shijiu's arms, her body froze for a moment.He was thinking about this, maybe he figured it out!

She originally wanted to find Huo Jiujiu who was in a better mood to talk to him after going back today.Can't think of him thinking about this?What a surprise.

Sitting up straight, the hairpin slipped out of the bun, and the long, smooth hair fell on her shoulders.Jiang Wu tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, and said: "The world is so big, isn't there a place to stay? It's not easy to go out, grasslands, deserts, where can we go? If not, we can go to the Kingdom of Jin quietly , find a place to settle in the deep mountains and old forests."

"The Kingdom of Jin may not succeed." Huo Shijiu thought about it seriously, and said, "Although the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin is special to you, if any major event happens, you need to make a choice. As a superior, you will have no scruples." The choice of national affairs is more important than emotion."

Having said that, Huo Shijiu sighed softly.

Jiang Wu understood why he was sobbing.Isn't the little emperor a ready-made example?

She didn't want to spoil his interest, she said with a smile: "Don't be afraid if you can't go to the Kingdom of Jin. There are many places you can go. If it doesn't work, we can still go to sea. Lose it and see what's at the end of the sea."

"You." Huo Shijiu was infected by her joy like an innocent child about to go out to play, and hugged her lovingly.

With her arms around his waist, Jiang Wuou said, "It doesn't matter where you really go, as long as we are together."

"What if I can't be Lord Marquis, but can only be an ordinary farmer?"

"Father is a farmer, and I don't see anything wrong with it. But I think you are more suitable for business. If you are farming, you must raise chickens, pigs, pick manure and fertilize. Can a clean person like you bear it?" .”

Huo Jiujiu shuddered at the words.Thinking of being punished to kneel in a pigsty, it seems that I have already had a psychological shadow.

"But scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen rank last."

"What's the big deal? The nobles haven't seen much happiness." Jiang Wu said indifferently: "Even being in that enviable and coveted position may not be very happy."

"Yes, the emperor does not have much happiness." Huo Shijiu wanted to sigh.But he knew that his emotions were the most able to infect Jiang Wu.If he is like this, there is no guarantee that Jiang Wu will not be depressed, so he forced a smile, "Don't worry, I have actually thought about the retreat, but I didn't expect it to be useful one day. Take good care of yourself and carry seven catties. I won't let you have trouble."

"The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself. Your family is safer than you. You don't look at the face of the British Duke today when he speaks. He blew his beard and stared at his eyes and choked out evil words in a high-pitched voice. I really regret that I didn't stab him a few times in the depths."

Huo Shijiu finally couldn't hold back his smile when he thought of the old face of the British prince with a fake beard.It seems that with this smile, the depression in my heart is also gone.

"You little girl, only you can make me happy at this moment."

"I really regret it. In fact, if I stabbed deeper that day, how could it leave so much trouble today, and make you so entangled and sad."

"Okay, okay, when you mention this, why do I feel the hairs on my back stand on end?"

"You men are naturally afraid of this." Jiang Wu smiled and stretched her arms around Huo Shijiu's neck. Just as she was about to lean forward, her complexion changed.

"Stop! Where are you going!" Jiang Wu suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage, only to see that the carriage was driving in a snow-covered alley.The wooden wheels struggled on the thick snow, and there were high powder walls on both sides, but there was no snow on the top of the walls. On such a festive time as New Year's Eve, there were no lights in the courtyard.

Jiang Wu felt something was wrong, and immediately pulled out the dagger from the soft boots and held it in her right hand.With his left hand, he grabbed the driver by the collar: "Tell me, why did you go this way!"

The coachman is Huo Shijiu's confidant, and also a dead fighter with high martial arts skills. He is also assigned to shifts on weekdays, and he will accompany Jiang Wu to practice martial arts in the martial arts field every few days.

He frowned innocently, "Mrs., we have taken the shortcut we are used to. There are many people setting off fireworks there today, and the road is impassable."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of arrows rushing into the sky and exploding with a bang.The red light was fleeting in the dark night, but it made Jiang Wu and the accompanying attendants tense up.

"Who!!" Amidst the guards' shouts, they suddenly saw about 20 men dressed in ordinary people's clothes but holding swords on both sides of the alley, attacking the carriage from left to right.

"Quick, there are assassins! Protect Lord Hou!"

The guards raised their eyebrows and drew out their sabers to surround the carriage.

Jiang Wu retreated into the car and squeezed Huo Jiujiu's hand: "No matter what happens later, don't leave my side."

Huo Shijiu pursed his lips tightly, took out the arrow and fire pocket from the small table beside him, and leaned out of the car window to light it.

The loud arrow flew into the sky, but what exploded was blue light, not as dazzling as the red light just now, as if it had been silent in the dark blue night for a moment.

Just as Huo Shijiu withdrew his hand, a feathered arrow was nailed to the window frame with a bang. If he stayed for a moment, the arrow would hit his head and neck.

Jiang Wu broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly pressed Huo Shijiu, "Get down!"

Immediately, the sound of "Duk Tuk" was heard continuously, and arrows kept hitting the wall of the carriage.
