Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 260 tit for tat
Under the corridor, Cao Yu was only wearing a thin jacket, and lowered his voice in astonishment: "You said, someone posted a post? Offer a reward of [-] taels?!"

Sixi also lowered her voice: "Isn't that right? I saw it at the market just now, and I didn't dare to say anything. I came back after hiding from people with a disgraced face. I’m going to beat him up violently, and I don’t know if he will be slaughtered by any hero.”

"If you say one more word, I will kill you too."

Cao Yu's brows were already furrowed.

Sixi was frightened outside, and Ruoyu would not have dared to talk to Cao Yu like this on weekdays, but when he heard his soft but angry words, he shuddered and quickly laughed: "Mr. I have the same knowledge as a villain, so I was really frightened just now, so I just made nonsense. Some people criticize Lord Hou, and I feel so wronged in my heart! We all remember the benefits of Lord Hou to the servants, and I am not so ungrateful people."

Cao Yu glanced at the back room out of the corner of his eye, and saw that there was no movement, so he brushed his sleeves and said, "You go. I don't have my orders, so don't talk too much for now."

"Yes! But Mr. Cao, there is no need to say much about this matter. After a while, I am afraid that those people from the rivers and lakes will come to the door. It is okay to come one or two. If there are more people, even if Mr. Cao has great abilities, it will be fine." Even a tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, so be careful!"

Sixi followed Huo Jiu, and was always loyal and seldom complained. Today, even if she occasionally complained, it was really due to the situation, and her sincere concern made Cao Yu laugh, "Go, little monkey boy."

Seeing this powerful man with a jade face and a black heart showing a smile, and didn't mean to kill him, Sixi went out happily.

And Cao Yu stood by the porch, not knowing what to do for a while.

Huo Shijiu will know about this matter sooner or later, he must be able to see the situation clearly, and he cannot be made to think that the situation is still as optimistic as before.

But just now, the little emperor had already acted in such a play, and now even the trumped-up charges were brought up all at once, and he was afraid that Huo Jiujiu, who was injured, would not be able to bear it.

Huo Shijiu in the house only vaguely heard someone talking outside, he didn't know what was said specifically, and he was still writing on paper, but Jiang Wu heard these words clearly, clasping the mattress with both hands tightly, Almost tore the beautiful official green brocade.

good good good good!This is called a loyal and patriotic person!To be willing to give up tens of thousands of taels of silver instead of building an army of copper and iron for the emperor to strengthen the army and the people is actually buying Huo Shijiu's life.In her eyes, his life is a priceless treasure, even more important than her life. Unexpectedly, it is so valuable in the eyes of outsiders.

How can someone who can afford 1 taels of silver to buy it be the poor and poor people of Qingliu?Such a large-scale creation of Huo Nineteen's rumors of harming the country and the people will only benefit the British government and remove a stumbling block.

The matter has come to this point, and anger is useless, but Jiang Wu's reason is no match for emotion this time, she is wronged and wronged for Huo Shijiu.He also thought about how all these years, such a high-class person has been bearing infamy, throwing away the dignity he cares most about to become a street mouse, all for the sake of the one above, but that one just doesn't give him trust.

The long and slender eyelashes could hardly conceal the starlight that was about to shatter in her eyes.

Huo Shijiu held her hand and shook it again, he didn't dare to move his tongue for fear of touching the wound, a slightly hoarse voice came out from his throat, which meant to ask.

Only then did Jiang Wu regain her senses, and looked up at him: "I'm sorry, I was distracted."

How could he fail to see Jiang Wu's emotions when they were married?In Huo Dashuan's words, Jiang Wu is a real "man", and she may not be willing to shed a tear when gouging out flesh with a steel knife, but this time, her bright almond eyes are filled with water, and she is trying not to cry like this His appearance made him feel more pitiful.

Huo Jiujiu pulled her into his arms, kissed her forehead and hair, and patted her on the back lightly.Although it is inconvenient to speak, why do you need to express your deep concern and distress in words?
Seeing them like this, Ting Yu and Bing Song rushed to carry Qi Jin to the wet nurse and took it down.

The light footsteps in the courtyard gradually drifted away, Jiang Wu knew that Cao Yu had left silently, and did not intend to tell Huo Shijiu about it. .

The soldiers came to stop him, and it made him sad to tell him, so let's just leave it at that.

It's just that to deal with that old fox, you have to speed up your pace.

Jiang Wu handed the pen to Huo Shijiu, and discussed with him the last plan in a low voice.Unexpectedly, before he could speak, a little girl outside replied anxiously: "Go back to Lord Marquis, the Duke of England has brought someone here."

Huo Jiujiu raised his eyebrows, and slowly put down the Zihao brush.

After Jiang Wu was surprised, she smiled calmly: "He dares to come now, and he is not afraid of losing his life."

Huo Shijiu patted Jiang Wu's shoulder, meaning to let her stay here.

How can Jiang Wu rest assured that he will go to see the British Duke alone?Even if there is insufficient evidence for Huo Shijiu to charge the little emperor with five stone powder, and the old thing will not be as straightforward as what is not good for Huo Shijiu, she is still worried.

Putting on a cloak, he quickly chased after him, wrapped his arms around his arms, and interlocked his fingers domineeringly: "I'll accompany you."

Her domineering and tender attachment made him unable to refuse, so in desperation he had no choice but to lightly tap her eyebrows with his index finger, and then put the hood on her cloak on her.

He injured his tongue and was unable to speak. Apart from writing, whenever he communicated with her, he would focus on her eyes, and let her see clearly the emotions that were rarely revealed in his eyes that were originally deep, cold and quiet like an ancient well.

At this time, she will feel that he only has her in his eyes, and they only have each other in their eyes.

Jiang Wubi leaned on his shoulder without hesitation.She never cared what other people thought, she could be attached to him, as long as she was satisfied from the bottom of her heart, why would she be afraid of others' words?

When he came to the front hall, Cao Yu had ordered tea to be served.

The British Duke sat in the first place with a big grin, the ruby ​​gold ring on his finger was shining with luxurious brilliance, the luster was duller than the blue cup after the rain, as if he was a higher class person, today his feet are on the ground, his eyes are full His arrogance made no secret.

"The Duke of England came to visit in person, and the house is really flourishing." Jiang Wu and Huo Shijiu saluted together.

The British Duke slowly put down the tea bowl, smoothed his beard casually, and asked worriedly: "Today, this old man knows that Marquis Jin Ning was in danger on New Year's Eve, is Marquis Jin Ning okay?"

Jiang Wu stood beside Huo Shijiu, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lao is worried, Ah Ying hurt her tongue and cannot speak, I am here to thank the Duke for his concern. It's just that I haven't seen Wucheng Bing Ma Si reported it, but we didn't report it to the officials, so how did the Duke know about it?"

"The Holy Majesty loves Marquis Jin Ning, this is well known to all officials in the government and the public." He didn't answer directly.

In fact, everyone present is like a mirror, the killer is a member of the British Duke, and Dai Lin, the commander of the Five Cities Army, is also a student of the British Duke. It was also the British Duke's order that he delayed rushing to the scene of the weapon fight that day. I just learned about it after I did it, and the intention is too clear.As for the mention of the emperor, I don't know what the little emperor did, or his eyeliner is everywhere in the demonstration palace.

Huo Jiujiu was still as calm as water, his slender fingers flicked the armrest of the armchair.

Jiang Wu replied on his behalf: "The Duke of the country is really serious. If you talk about the love of heaven, who can go to the Duke's side?"

"I am talking about status and seniority. It should be like this. Marquis Jin Ning has made such progress at such a young age. By the way, when I first came here, I saw a nameless post in the city, and there were rumors that the emperor was taking Wushi powder? "

Looking at the old British man who pretended to be innocent and very kind, Jiang Wu wished he could stab him to death immediately.But just as the British Duke couldn't blatantly rob and hurt Huo Shijiu, Jiang Wu also couldn't act directly.

"The Duke also said that it is a rumor. Since it is called a rumor, the degree of credibility can be imagined. If a fool would believe it, how can the Duke, who has ruled the government and the opposition for most of his life, believe it?"

The British Duke paused in smoothing his beard, almost tore off the fake beard attached to his head, and sneered with sharp eyes: "Mrs. Jin Ninghou is really not an ordinary woman, but the old man misjudged you in the past."

"The Duke of the country is too famous." His attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

The British Duke stood up slowly, flicked his running sleeves freely, and his once low voice became hoarse and sharp: "In any case, although the rumors are not credible, they are not groundless. The old man will definitely find out and return Jin Ninghou justice. "

"The concubine is waiting for Lord Hou to thank the Duke." Jiang Wu bowed her knees.

The British Duke walked a few steps towards the door with a sneer, stopped abruptly, and smiled all over his face when he turned around: "Is Xiao Shizi well now? Should he be able to talk?"

The hairs on Jiang Wu's back stood on end for a moment, she hid her guard, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord, for thinking about it, the dog is well."

"Oh, that's good, that's good!" As if relieved, the British prince laughed and went out.

Looking at the back of him leading people away, Jiang Wu felt her legs go limp in panic.

What is he going to do!Is it true that Qijin is the little emperor's blood and is going to be bad for him?The British Duke is sometimes arrogant, but he also has the capital to be arrogant. When he is full of self-confidence, he likes to play with his enemies and applaud him, just like a cat catching a mouse and not rushing to kill it.

What does he mean by saying that.

The slender shoulders were covered by warm palms, Jiang Wu turned her head and met Huo Jiujiu's gentle eyes.Obviously he was the one who was put on the knife's edge, but he was so calm and indifferent, and faced everything that was about to happen without any surprise or chaos. When she saw him, she couldn't help but feel at ease.

Perhaps this is why Huo Shijiu was able to make people like Cao Yu follow him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Huo Shijiu took Jiang Wu's hand up the steps, and turned around to motion for Cao Yu to join him.Standing in front of the huanghuali black lacquered square table, Huo Shijiu dipped his index finger in the tea and wrote "plan to continue" on the table.

Jiang Wu grinned, "That's exactly what I mean. I just want to find the right time."

Pointing to the wound on her shoulder, Huo Shijiu blinked.

Jiang Wu immediately understood: "I will act after the injury, you can rest assured that we can just ask us to arrange the arrangement during this period."

Huo Shijiu nodded in reassurance.
