First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 760 The meeting between Weng and his son-in-law (first update)

Han Wuye clenched his fists, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He actually didn't care whether Xiao Liulang advanced or not. Anyway, even if he advanced, Xiao Liulang would not be able to pass the final level.

But the feeling of being fooled is really not a good feeling.

This guy named Xiao Liulang... is a very irritating guy.

Outside the camp, Han Lei shook his head slightly at Mr. Han Wu and used his eyes to signal him not to be impulsive.

This is not a place for fighting, and getting kicked out would be bad.

Han Wuye closed his eyes slightly, exhaled a breath, calmed down, and said to Gu Jiao, "It's just in vain."

Gu Jiao nodded in agreement: "You are right, but it is all in vain, so you should quickly admit defeat and let Brother Feng compete with me in the next level."

Fengling was so frightened that she shivered!

In addition to the eleven selected people, there were also examiners selected by the imperial court and some of the cavalry who were eliminated but allowed to watch the battle.

 Everyone’s eyes fell on Gu Jiao.

This boy has a disabled appearance and is not very young, yet he dares to use such an arrogant tone in front of Mr. Han Wu.

 Isn’t he afraid of death?

　　Compared to the sharp-edged Prince Han, the low-key Fifth Master Han is the real killer of the Han family.

 Mr. Han didn't know how much he valued him. If he hadn't been poisoned, even the position of head of the family would have been in his pocket.

Han Wuye's mood is not so easily irritated. It was an accident just now, and it will not happen again.

 He gave Gu Jiao a deep look: "See you next time."

Gu Jiao spread her hands: "Who knows whether we will meet again or not? After all, I have advanced and you haven't yet."

 Which pot should not be opened?

 Han Wuye clenched his fist.

Han Lei outside the camp winked at one of the examiners.

The examiner immediately coughed: "Ahem! Okay, let's start! Xiao Liulang, you have been promoted. You can stay and watch the battle, or you can leave first."

Everyone looked at her with envy. Why couldn't this kind of luck fall on them?

Gu Jiao said helplessly: "Since you're keeping me here, examiner, I'll try my best to take a look."

 Examiner: “…”

The tent was spacious, with a sand table in the center. The examiners sat on the main seats, facing the direction of the gate of the tent.

　　Those who watch the battle stand in designated areas on both sides, guarded by ten guards.

 It was very quiet in the camp.

 The first group is Fengling, the direct son of the Feng family, versus Han Wuye.

Those who can advance to this round are all capable. Fengling's own strength is not weak, and she often studies the art of war at home, but after all, she is not in the same realm as Han Wuye.

 Han Wuye won effortlessly.

Feng Ling walked to the viewing area dejectedly.

 The disciples of the aristocratic family on the side comforted him: "Okay, it's not unfair to lose to Han Wuye. You can brag about it later."

Fengling sighed: "That's the case." But after all, he failed to live up to the family's expectations.

The next person facing off was Taoist Master Qingfeng and the legitimate son of the Nangong family, that is, Nangong Jing's brother.

How much confidence does Nangong Jing have in his brother that he feels that as long as the fifth master Han is removed, the Nangong family can advance?

 No, the sand table deduction was hammered to death.

 “Concession.” Taoist Master Qingfeng cupped his hands.

The legitimate son of the Nangong family looked ashen and was held down by the guards in frustration.

Gu Changqing frowned slightly.

The people he most hopes to face in this match are Master Han Wu and Taoist Master Qingfeng. These two are too powerful. He hopes to have the opportunity to eliminate a strong enemy for his sister.

 What a pity, the one he drew was the legitimate son of the Dong family.

“Han Zeyu advanced to the third round!” the examiner announced the result.

Gu Changqing raised his hand to the Dong family's legitimate son: "I accept the concession."

 The legitimate son of the Dong family also returned the favor and accepted his failure with dignity.

 In the fourth group, Mu Qingchen faced off against his cousin from the Mu family, and Mu Qingchen won.

The first few groups are actually not too suspenseful, but the last group is a bit unexpected.

One of them is a child of the Han family, and the other is a child of a poor family named Jun Xiuhan.

In the first two selections, most people paid attention to the people from the top ten aristocratic families. Jun Xiuhan was so quiet that people ignored him.

 But he won again.

 Gu Jiao assumed the identity of the righteous son of An Guo, but Jun Xiuhan was an out-and-out descendant of a poor family, one of the few students who studied at Canaan Academy with bonuses.

 It was also at this moment that everyone truly got to know this young man from a poor family.

 “This boy is in great luck.” The children of the aristocratic family beside Gu Jiao whispered.

Gu Jiao glanced at him: "Why do you say that?"

The disciple of the aristocratic family said: "It's not easy for him to reach this level. He just defeated the Han family. Just wait and see, the aristocratic families will definitely start to win over him."

 Gu Jiao: “Oh.”

 All selections are over today. The next round is a three-hundred-mile run. It is said that the question is set by the monarch himself. The specific location and rules will not be announced until the selection day.

 After coming out of the camp, Gu Jiao went to the stable to find the Black Wind King.

Gu Changqing followed up: "The last round of selection will be in three days. In these three days, you can let the Black Wind King recover."

"I will." Gu Jiao agreed.

Gu Changqing said: "The next round will not be in the military camp. You must be more careful in everything. If the Han family has a plan, I will find a way to inform you."

Gu Jiao nodded: "You have to be careful yourself. Qi Xuan and Han Ye have met you, so don't run into them."

Gu Changqing felt greatly benefited from his sister's concern, and nodded calmly: "Okay."

While talking, the two came to the stable of the Black Wind King.

Gu Jiao specially chose the most remote stable where no one would normally pass by. However, when the two arrived at the scene, they found two unconscious guards lying in the stable.

The guards were wearing the armor of the Han family's cavalry battalion. One had a crooked nose and a crooked mouth, and the other had a bruised nose and a swollen face. They were all seriously injured.

 The Black Wind King stood arrogantly on the spot.

Gu Jiao checked the Black Wind King's food trough: "It's poisonous. These two people are here to poison the Black Wind King."

It’s just that I didn’t expect the Black Wind King to be so powerful. He failed to poison him and was kicked unconscious by the Black Wind King.

Gu Jiao patted the Dark Wind King's head happily: "The boss is mighty, the boss is amazing!"

Gu Changqing also looked at the Black Wind King with some emotion: "What a good horse."

 …

Gu Changqing couldn't stay long, so he went to meet with the Han family's children after a few words of explanation.

Gu Jiao led the Black Wind King out of the military camp.

Xiao Heng's carriage stopped on a side road not far away. Thinking that he had been bored in the carriage all day, Gu Jiao quickened her pace.

 But when Gu Jiao came to the fork in the road, something troublesome happened.

There were two carriages parked on the left and right sides, one belonging to Xiao Heng and the other belonging to the Duke's Mansion.

 The curtains on the two carriages were opened almost at the same time, and the faces of Xiao Heng and An Guogong were exposed.

 The two of them looked at Gu Jiao expectantly and began to wait for Gu Jiao to get on the carriage.

 Gu Jiao: “…”

Gu Jiao walked over bravely and stood in front of the two carriages.

Jing Erye poked his head out of the window: "Hey, Liulang, why don't you get in the car?"

 Gu Jiao's eyes rolled, and she introduced very quickly: "This is An Guogong, this is Mr. Jing, this is... my friend."

 All four eyes looked at each other.

Mr. An Guo couldn't turn his head. Mr. Jing used his fingers to open his eye sockets. He wanted to see his elder brother's share as well!

Gu Jiao calmly raised her foot in the direction of Xiao Heng.

 A murderous aura burst out from An Guogong's body.

Gu Jiao blinked and raised her feet towards An Guogong.

Xiao Heng's murderous aura suddenly filled the air.

Gu Jiao’s little jiojio had nowhere to put it, so it staged a show of independence as a golden rooster in situ.

 Er Master Jing got off the carriage and came to Xiao Heng's window, looking at him carefully for a long time.

Suddenly he slapped him on the head: "You brat! It's you! What are you doing? Didn't you recognize the carriage of the Duke's Mansion? Didn't you know to come over and say hello? Who do I think you have been here all day?"

　　The emperor’s eldest grandson, Xiao Heng, appeared confused and said: “…”

 Empress Xuanyuan is the biological sister of Xuanyuan Li. The princess and Xuanyuan Zi are cousins. According to their seniority, Xuanyuan Zi is the cousin of the emperor's eldest grandson, and An Guogong is the emperor's eldest grandson's cousin.

Shangguan Qing would stay in the small courtyard for a few days every time he returned to the capital. After An Guogong became a vegetative state, he also secretly visited his residence.

 Outsiders didn’t know that Shangguan Qing had private dealings with the Duke’s government, but Mr. Jing knew about it.

 Judging from the slap exhaled by Jing Er Ye, Shangguan Qing’s relationship with his uncle and Jing Er Ye was very close.

Jing Erye saw Xiao Heng's silent expression and said in disbelief: "What? It's only been a year and you don't recognize me?"

 The character cannot be destroyed...

Xiao Heng smiled: "...I know you."

Jing Erye said angrily: "Then why don't you call someone?"

How do I know what Shangguan Qing called you?

 An Guogong is my cousin's uncle, but you are not.

Jing Erye said: "Do you think you don't even know me as my uncle?"

 Wait a minute, shouldn’t I politely call you Uncle Jing?

 Why did you become my uncle?

 Is it so close?

Jing Erye, who can even trick Xuanyuan Sheng into being his brother-in-law, said that it would be no problem to trick him into pretending to be a younger uncle!

  I don’t think of myself as an outsider at all.

Thinking of something, Mr. Jing looked at Gu Jiao, then at Xiao Heng, and asked, "By the way, Liu Lang said just now that you were his friend. Do you know Liu Lang?"

"I...yes, we know each other. My mother was seriously injured. It was Liulang who healed my mother. Now Liulang lives in Qilin Hall so that he can continue to treat my mother."

“That’s it.” Mr. Jing suddenly realized it and did not question the truth of the matter. First, he had heard about the princess’ injury, and second, he had seen Xiao Liulang’s medical skills with his own eyes.

 “How is your mother’s condition?” Mr. Jing asked.

“The operation was successful and the critical period has passed. I am currently recuperating in the Guoshi Palace.” Xiao Heng said.

Jing Erye secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Although the government announced to the outside world that Shangguan Yan was out of danger, it was only after it was confirmed by Xiao Heng that it finally settled down.

"Your voice has changed a bit." Mr. Jing said, "It sounds better than before. Let me just say that once the boy's voice change is over, he no longer has the voice of a goose!"

Xiao Heng was so scared that he broke into cold sweat.

Xiao Heng smiled: "That's what my uncle said."

 “Let’s go, let’s talk in the carriage! Your uncle is here too!”

 Er Master Jing pulled Xiao Heng into the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, and Gu Jiao was also brought into the carriage.

Xiao Heng glanced at Gu Jiao without leaving any trace.

Gu Jiao glanced at the Duke and winked.

 Gong An Guo's eyes fell on Xiao Heng's handsome face.

Xiao Heng subconsciously touched the tear-drop mole under his right eye, smiled and said hello: "Uncle."

Duke An Guo's eyes moved, he dipped his fingertips in water, and wrote on the armrest: "I want to eat fruit, you two go and pick some."

"The two of us..." Mr. Jing counted in the carriage. The eldest brother was in a wheelchair and Shangguan Qing was sick. It seemed that both of them were referring to him and Xiao Liulang.

For a rare moment, he had a tacit understanding with his elder brother, and said to Gu Jiao: "Liu Lang, I'll go over there to pick fruits."

“Oh.” Gu Jiao stood up and glanced at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng nodded slightly at her.

 Gu Jiao and Mr. Jing got off the carriage.

 The Duke of Guo had a panoramic view of their little eyes.

After the footsteps faded away, the Duke of Guo wrote on the armrest: "You are not Shangguan Qing."

 Xiao Heng pinched it with his fingertips.

The Duke of Guo continued to write: "Who are you, little girl?"

 It’s a girl, not a boy.

  Xiao Heng did not think that the most knowledgeable scholar in Shengdu would make typos by mistake.

 There is only one possibility. He knows that Gu Jiao is born as a girl.

 How did he know? Did you discover it yourself? Or did Gu Jiao tell him?

 Gu Jiao used her identity as the adopted son of An Guo to participate in the selection of the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry. Xiao Heng did not think much about it because it was the national master who came forward.

 But now it seems that An Guogong understands and cares about Gu Jiao a little more than imagined.

 An Guogong wrote again: "Who are you, little girl?"

 This is the second time "little girl".

Xiao Heng was absolutely sure that Gu Jiao's daughter was exposed to An Guogong.

After realizing that he was not Xiao Qing, Duke An Guo asked not "who are you" and "why are you pretending to be Shangguan Qing", but who was Gu Jiao.

 From this we can see Gu Jiao’s status in An Guogong’s mind.

 Why does Duke An Guo care so much about Gu Jiao?

Just because Gu Jiao treated Duke An Guo once or twice?

Many doubts flashed through Xiao Heng's mind, but one thing he was sure of was that An Guogong would not harm Gu Jiao.

 “I am her husband-in-law.” Xiao Heng told the truth.

 An Guogong's face suddenly turned dark.
