The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 594 Domineering Side Leak! (two more in one)

Suzaku Street.

Xiao Jingkong didn't go back to Bishui Hutong after school from Guozijian, but pestered Liu Quan to come here to find Gu Jiao.

Liu Quan knew that Gu Jiao was recovering from her injuries, and she didn't want the little guy to know the truth, so she made an excuse to say that she didn't know the way, but Xiao Jingkong patted her chest and said, "I've been here before, I remember the way!"

The most difficult child in the family to fool is Xiao Qingkong. Liu Quan had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring him here.

Gu Jiao's injury has improved greatly, but gauze is still wrapped around her wrists and waist, the little guy can tell that Gu Jiao is injured at a glance.

Xiao Jingkong couldn't bear to blame Gu Jiao for hiding him, so he went to the study to find the bad brother-in-law who was writing a letter.

He had a small face, with his small hands behind his back, and his tone was particularly deep: "You are a deceitful and bad brother-in-law."

"How did I lie to you?" Xiao Heng asked.

"Jiaojiao is clearly injured, but you didn't tell me!" Xiao Jingkong said bitterly.

"Just for this?" Xiao Heng smiled faintly, "I didn't lie to you, I just didn't tell the whole truth—my mother did suffer from angina pectoris, and Jiaojiao is indeed here to accompany her."

Xiao Jingkong frowned and thought about it seriously.

It seems reasonable to say so, but why do you feel something is wrong?

"Okay, have you finished your homework today?" Xiao Heng changed the topic decisively, "Have you memorized all the Yan Guo poetry collection that Ming'er sent you last time?"

"I'm almost finished memorizing, and I can't do a few songs." Xiao Jingkong said with his arms akimbo, "But my progress is already moving forward, don't try to change the topic, I am no longer a child! You can no longer fool me like I did when I was a child Already!"

The corner of Xiao Heng's mouth twitched.

The little monk is good at it, and he knows not to be led by the nose.

Also, you are only five years old, what were you when you were young?

Xiao Jingkong folded his arms, stomped his feet, and snorted: "I don't care, you're just wrong!"

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows: "Do you think it's wrong for me to hide it from you, or do you think I've been with Jiaojiao for a few nights, and you're jealous?"

Xiao Jingkong was poked in the sore foot, and his little face flushed with anger: "Hmph! Bad brother-in-law!"

Doctor Song can't stand it, how old is he, and he still bullies children to play?

He called out in the yard: "Qing Kong, I want to make medicine for Dr. Gu, do you want to come over?"

The sense of mission to make medicine for Gu Jiao overcame the desire to win a verbal battle with the bad brother-in-law, Xiaojing stared at the bad brother-in-law with air

Stamped his little feet and went out.

It is said that the medicine is boiled, but Doctor Song boils the water and opens the medicine package. Xiao Jingkong is only responsible for pouring the herbs into the jar, and then he squats obediently by the side and guards the jar.

Gu Jiao doesn't like to drink medicine, because it was boiled in a small space, she drank it very face-saving.

Dinner was eaten on Suzaku Street, only a few of them.

Xiao Jingkong asked strangely: "Why don't you see the princess and Long Yi? And Aunt Yujin?"

"They went out." Xiao Heng said, "Maybe they won't return until a few days later."

Gu Jiao glanced at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng whispered: "It's okay, I'm going to deal with that group of people."

After eating, Xiao Jingkong came to Gu Jiao's bed with a small pillow in his arms. He behaved well and didn't ask the bad brother-in-law if he could stay here, because if he asked the bad brother-in-law, he would definitely disagree.

He simply crawled onto the bed, burrowed into the bed like a piglet, and lay down beside Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was looking at the piano score.

This is the piano score in Xiao Jingkong's pair of "tattered", she only looks through it when she has nothing to do.

Xiao Qingkong rolled around in the bed excitedly: "Jiaojiao!"

"Huh?" Gu Jiao looked at the soft little guy beside her.

Xiao Jingkong looked at the piano score in her hand: "Does Jiaojiao like to read the piano score?"

"Just take a look." I didn't say whether I like it or not. As the number one agent in the organization, he is actually a cold-blooded killer. What are you talking about about art?

Xiao Jingkong said: "I like to watch."

Gu Jiao asked, "Why?"

Xiao Jingkong's eyeballs rolled: "Hmm...it's beautiful!"

It's beautiful and I haven't seen you.

Gu Jiao tucked the corner of the quilt for him: "Go to sleep."

Xiao Jingkong obediently closed his eyes.

He was just pretending to be obedient, but in fact he was not sleepy at all, he opened his eyes quietly after a while, moved his small body under the quilt, and clung to Gu Jiao tightly.

Gu Jiao saw through his small movements without saying anything, and flipped through the piano score in her hand amusedly.

"what?"

Xiao Jingkong suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Qingkong turned over and lay down on the bed. The little finger pointed at Gu Jiao's waist: "Jiaojiao, you also have a flower here!"

Gu Jiao was wearing a short jacket and pajamas, and didn't care much about the corner of the pajamas being turned up, revealing her slender and white waist.

Gu Jiao couldn't see the position of the waist.

She groaned and said, "Is it a big flower?"

"Hmm... so big!" Xiao Jingkong gestured with his finger.

It's small, about the size of a knuckle.

Should be a birthmark.

Does her small body have so many birthmarks?

Xiao Jingkong pointed to her waist, and asked curiously: "But why isn't this flower red? It's blue!"

He likes red flowers.

But if it grows on Jiaojiao's body, then the blue one is also good!

Gu Jiao couldn't see it herself, but even if she saw it, she wouldn't care. She even compromised with the birthmark on her face, let alone the invisible one on her back?

Gu Jiao moved the little guy's little head: "The hair has grown a little bit, and it will be tied up soon. Go to sleep, go to bed early and get up early to grow taller."

"Um!"

This time, Xiao Jingkong closed his eyes and fell asleep after rolling a few times on the bed.

Xiao Heng pushed the door open, looked at Gu Jiao's bulging bag under the quilt, and said, "Is he asleep?"

"Sleeping." Gu Jiao said.

"Then I'll take him back." Xiao Heng said, as if he was afraid that Gu Jiao might misunderstand, he explained, "Tomorrow, the Imperial College has classes, and this road is too congested in the morning, so it's too late to go to the Imperial College from here."

Gu Jiao closed the piano score: "Okay."

Xiao Heng picked up the sleeping little guy from the bed, put on clothes for him, and the little guy didn't wake up even after trying to shake him.

Xiao Heng poked the little guy's chubby face in a funny way, then turned to Gu Jiao and said, "You remember to take the medicine later, I'll come over after I send him back."

Gu Jiao responded again, with a calm expression: "Okay."

Xiao Heng carried the little guy out of the yard and handed it to Liu Quan: "Take Jing Kong back."

"Ah, yes." Liu Quanxin said, aren't you going to deliver the clearance yourself? Why didn't you send it again?

Xiao Heng arranged for a Dragon Shadow Guard and Liu Quan to accompany him, together with Gu Yan's dark guard armor, it was basically foolproof along the way.

After Liu Quan got into the carriage with Xiao Qingkong in his arms, he found that Xiao Heng was in another carriage. He wondered, "It's so late, is Liu Lang going out?"

Xiao Heng said: "There is something wrong with the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, I have to go there."

Oh, no wonder I couldn't deliver the small clearance in person, it turned out that I was busy with official duties.

Liu Quan took Xiaoqingkong and left.

Xiao Heng said to the coachman, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

The long street was silent.

However, Xiao Heng's carriage was not heading towards the Ministry of Punishment, but heading all the way to the east of the city.

The coachman who drives the carriage for him is the secret guard of the Princess Mansion.

The hidden guard's vigilance was much higher than that of ordinary people. When they turned to another cold street, the dark guard's ears moved suddenly: "Master Xiao, someone is chasing from behind!"

Xiao Heng said seriously: "Don't stop, keep going! Speed ​​up!"

"Yes!" The dark guard tightened the reins and hit the horse with a whip. The horse suffered from pain and galloped vigorously in the night.

In the carriage, Xiao Heng's expression also became vigilant.

The dark guard said again: "It's not good, my lord! People from the north and south are also encircling us! There are still a lot of people! We are about to be outflanked!"

Xiao Heng clenched his fists: "Rush over!"

The dark guard gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

Now there was no one standing in front of him, and the dark guards had pushed the speed of the carriage to the limit. Fortunately, Princess Xinyang was using first-class hard-earned BMWs, so there was nothing to say in terms of combat power.

"Turn left!" Xiao Heng said.

The hidden guard tightened the reins abruptly and turned the carriage into the alley on the left.

Almost as soon as he entered the alley, two groups of people galloped from both ends of the original street. If he hadn't entered the alley just now, the front and back roads would have been blocked by now.

"Turn right!" Xiao Heng said.

"Turn around!"

"Rush over!"

"Turn left!"

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the capital, Xiao Heng abruptly avoided the pursuit of the three waves of troops.

It's just that this was a coincidence, and in the end they had to be defeated in the face of absolute encirclement and suppression.

Not long after entering the outskirts of the city, Xiao Heng's carriage was blocked on a deserted path.

On both sides of this path are field ridges, a canyon ahead, and a large open space behind. The canyon and open space are already full of pursuers. Unless Xiao Heng runs into the field ridge, even if he runs, he can't escape.

There is no place for a carriage to walk in the field ridge.

He can't run these masters on foot.

The pursuers in the canyon ahead obviously came from another road, and the leader was Zhuang Taifu wearing a cloak.

At this point in the matter, Taifu Zhuang didn't bother to hide his identity anymore, he took off his bamboo hat, and looked at Xiao Heng's carriageway with a half-smile: "Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, you think you are the only one Are you familiar with the terrain of the capital?"

He can call out Xiao Heng's name, which shows that he already knows Xiao Heng's identity.

Xiao Heng lifted the curtain coldly, and looked at Mrs. Zhuang on the horse through the thick night: "Mr. Zhuang, don't come here without any harm."

"Between you and me, polite words are unnecessary. The purpose of this old man today is very simple."

"Oh? Let me guess, did he kill me or catch me?"

"Catch first, kill later."

Xiao Heng turned his head and looked back from the rear window of the carriage.

Mrs. Zhuang sneered: "Don't look, everyone who should come has come, you can't escape."

Behind them are hundreds of Dragon Shadow Guards from the Yan Kingdom. They don't wear masks like the Dragon Shadow Guards from the Zhao Kingdom, but they wear black cloaks, and the hoods of the cloaks cover their faces.

And in front of that group of people, there was a middle-aged man with extraordinary clothes and a burly figure.

Presumably it was General Nangong.

Taifu Zhuang sarcastically said: "I know what your plan is. From the very beginning, you guessed that Princess Xinyang's plan had leaked out. You knew that the Yan people would take the opportunity to enter the capital, and you also guessed that the old man would help them. So you want to come As soon as the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. This is the only way to go to the Langshan camp. You want to bring us into the sphere of influence of the Gu family army. Gu Changqing is not here, and the old Hou is recuperating at the mansion. Let me guess Guess, the second son of the Gu family is waiting in the military camp right now! It's a pity, you never expected that we would kidnap you halfway. When you still don't show up at the appointed time, Gu Chengfeng will come out to look for you, but guess what, Can he find it?"

Xiao Heng squeezed his fingers: "Teacher Zhuang, turn around and be right."

Mrs. Zhuang laughed wildly and said, "Did the old man guess right? Then the old man will let you guess whether there are organs and formations in the canyon ahead. Even if the Gu family army can't arrive in time, you can still make it We all died in the array mechanism."

Xiao Heng's expression changed.

Taifu Zhuang had a panoramic view of Xiao Heng's expression, and realized that he had guessed everything correctly. He laughed hahaha: "Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, I have to say that your plan is really perfect! You are better than the old man's grandson Zhuang Yuheng. Know how to be more resourceful! If you hadn't been against this old man, I really wanted to cultivate you! It's a pity that you are the son of Xuan Pinghou, so you are destined to be a stumbling block for this old man! How is it? The taste of ten feet, is it okay?"

Xiao Heng's fist was clenched tightly.

General Nangong ordered ten powerful Dragon Shadow Guards: "You guys, go to the canyon to have a look."

"Yes!"

The ten people rode their horses to the canyon. The canyon looked the same as usual. Of course, it might be that they were not familiar with this canyon.

The leader got off his horse and whipped the horse's ass, causing the horse to gallop over in pain.

Nothing happened.

So he followed cautiously.

The other nine people also planned to follow. At this time, he was out of the canyon. He saw something and raised his hand to them to signal them to stop.

Then he took out a thin rope and tied it to a protruding stone.

He returned to his companion through the canyon, pulled the string with his bare hands, and the stone fell, followed by a few loud bangs, the boulder fell in the canyon, arrows and spears flew, hidden weapons dart silver needles, covering the sky and covering the sky, It's like a tiger roaring and a dragon singing, lightning flashing and thundering!

After a terrible movement, the way out of the canyon was completely blocked by boulders.

If they hadn't intercepted Xiao Heng in time, but let Xiao Heng pass through the canyon to trigger the mechanism, they would at least break half of their army into it, not to say that the whole army was wiped out.

General Nangong shuddered.

Zhuang Taifu mocked: "It's a good plan, but the old man still said that, Xiao Heng, you are not the old man's opponent!"

General Nangong said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense with him! Hurry up and arrest him for business!"

Taifu Zhuang said: "Xiao Heng, are you going to arrest yourself obediently, or is this old man sending someone to arrest you?"

Xiao Heng opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Taifu Zhuang made a gesture, and two guards of the dealer and a dragon shadow guard from Yan Kingdom walked towards Xiao Heng's carriage.

Without a word, the Dragon Shadow Guard of the Yan Kingdom knocked out the hidden guard of the Princess Mansion.

The Zhuang family's guards caught Xiao Heng and brought him to Taifu Zhuang.

At this time, General Nangong of the Yan Kingdom rode his horse around from behind, tightened the reins, and looked down at Xiao Heng.

His eyes became deeper little by little, as if he was looking at Xiao Heng, or looking at someone else through Xiao Heng.

"You are General Nangong?" Xiao Heng met his gaze without fear.

A general of the Shang Kingdom had the aura to overwhelm Zhao Kingdom's humerus minister, yet this nineteen-year-old young man dared to stare straight at him.

General Nangong slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "I'm a little bit courageous, I chopped off one of his fingers!"

Even when he heard that his fingers were about to be chopped off, Xiao Heng still looked at him without changing his expression.

A Dragon Shadow Guard stepped forward and casually grabbed Xiao Heng's left hand.

Taifu Zhuang said lightly: "Wait a minute, chop off his right finger!"

Xiao Heng looked at Mrs. Zhuang coldly.

The Dragon Shadow Guard pulled out his dagger, and was about to slash it, when there was a sudden sound of horseshoes not far away.

"Keeping someone under the knife—"

Long Yingwei's movements paused.

Taifu Zhuang and General Nangong looked around together, but they saw Eunuch Qin, who was beside Empress Dowager Zhuang, coming quickly on horseback.

"He is?" General Nangong frowned.

Zhuang Taifu smiled and said: "Eunuch Qin, the Queen Mother's confidant."

When Eunuch Qin's horse rushed to the open space, it was blocked by the Dragon Shadow Guard and bodyguards of Yan Kingdom.

General Nangong gestured, and everyone moved out of the way.

Eunuch Qin got off his horse, looked at Mrs. Zhuang panting, and said, "The queen mother...the queen mother has an order...under the knife...to keep people...only...as long as you let Xiao Heng...the queen mother...what are the queen mother's conditions... ...I promise you all..."

Taifu Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this the meaning of the queen mother, or is it your false order?"

"Of course it means mourning the family!"

Accompanied by a majestic and domineering voice, a spacious carriage slowly approached from behind. The speed seemed to be not fast, but it was actually a hundred steps in an instant.

Zhuang Taifu's eyes moved.

After all, he was suppressed by the Empress Dowager Zhuang's aura for many years, and there was an instinctive fear in his bones.

But thinking of the current situation, he quickly felt relieved.

He has long since broken with the Empress Dowager Zhuang, and he is no longer her subject.

General Nangong gestured, Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage drove straight in, and stopped not far from Taifu Zhuang and General Nangong.

She came here almost alone, besides Eunuch Qin, there is only one eunuch driving the carriage, and this eunuch does not know martial arts yet.

General Nangong looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage with a half-smile, "The Empress Dowager Zhaoguo really impresses me."

"Eunuch Qin." Empress Dowager Zhuang ordered lightly.

Eunuch Qin understood, and stepped forward to open the curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was sitting in a low-key and luxurious carriage, fearless in the face of danger: "General Nangong of the Yan Kingdom, how about we make a deal? You can assume that Xiao Heng has died here today, and Aijia promises that he will not appear in the future." In front of the world, in exchange, Aijia can promise you three conditions, any condition."

General Nangong smiled: "The Empress Dowager Zhuang is really generous. I heard that this kid has no blood relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhuang. The Empress Dowager Zhuang can even ignore her own nephew, King Ning. Why is she so obsessed with protecting an outsider?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said without anger: "This is Ai's business. If you don't worry about General Nangong, Ai's only asks General Nangong if he is willing to make this deal."

Zhuang Taifu turned his head and said: "General Nangong, don't trust her, she is full of cunning, if you let Xiao Heng go, she will no longer be wary, and she can lead the army to destroy you by turning around! I know the general's dead soldiers are very powerful, But with an army of 100,000, the general's dead soldiers must not be able to get out."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly: "Does the general think that if you kill Xiao Heng here, the Ai family will let you leave Zhaoguo alive? If General Nangong doesn't believe it, you can try it. If you dare to touch Xiao Heng's hair today, Aijia will let you leave Zhaoguo alive." The family wants all of you to be buried with him!"

General Nangong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about the possibility of this result.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang knew the truth of slapping a sweet date very well, and she continued to follow the temptation: "This is a good deal. No matter who Xiao Heng is, he will no longer be present in the present identity in the future, and he will not Go to the country of Yan to interfere with your affairs. Aijia believes that the general also obeys orders. The general's loyalty is precious, but the lives of the general and so many subordinates are not precious? Why don't you think about the win-win situation between you and me? ? If the general is worried that Aijia will renege on his promise and become fat in the future, there is no need. Didn’t Aijia agree to the general’s three conditions? I believe the general will always find a way to catch Aijia.”

"General Nangong, don't trust her! She is my younger sister. I know exactly what kind of temperament she is. She has never had such a thing as reputation!"

It is impossible for Taifu Zhuang to watch the Empress Dowager Zhuang reach a deal with General Nangong, otherwise he will lose the value of using it.

Empress Dowager Zhuang continued to poke at General Nangong's weakness: "General Nangong is still hesitating. Could it be that he is doubting Aijia's sincerity? Isn't it enough for Aijia to go alone to show his determination to negotiate peace with General Nangong? The country ranks eleventh, although our Zhao country is a lower country, we still have the ability to help the Nangong family to make the icing on the cake."

General Nangong's eyes fell on Xiao Heng's face.

Xiao Heng's hands had been tied with ropes by Taifu Zhuang's guards, and he stood proudly under the sky, without the slightest embarrassment and fear of being in prison.

His eyebrows and eyes are very much like a person.

A pair of almost identical eyes flashed in General Nangong's mind, with a bit of hesitation on his face.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Zhuang suddenly pulled out his horsewhip, and hit Xiao Heng's body with a whip. He was a civil servant, so he didn't have much strength, but he couldn't stand the whip tail, and swept it on Xiao Heng's delicate skin with vigor. .

A striking welt instantly appeared on half of his cheek.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes darkened: "Zhuang Changde, you are crazy!"

Changde is Zhuang Taifu's word.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang has never called Mrs. Zhuang that way in her life.

General Nangong was also a little displeased, but it didn't seem to be because Xiao Heng was whipped, but because of the whip, his brows were swollen, and he no longer reminded people of the aloof and unruly eyes in memory.

General Nangong said slowly: "Queen Zhuang, the terms you offered are very attractive, but I'm afraid I won't be able to reach a cooperation with you. Even, because you recognized me today, I can no longer keep you alive."

"General Nangong." Xiao Heng said suddenly, "Are you really going against me?"

General Nangong said arrogantly: "It's not against you, it's killing you. You are not qualified to be the opponent of this general."

With his hands bound, Xiao Heng looked at him seriously: "General Nangong, don't bully young people into poverty."

General Nangong was slightly taken aback.

He raised his hand and gave orders: "Do it, leave no one behind!"

Taifu Zhuang opened his mouth: "General Nangong..."

A Dragon Shadow Guard slashed at Xiao Heng's head with a knife!

At the very moment, there was a crackling sound in the night sky, and an arrow shot fiercely and domineeringly, piercing the Dragon Shadow Guard's heart!

After the arrow pierced through his body, it landed straight on the open space in front of General Nangong's horse, and the tail of the arrow swayed, which showed its swiftness and ferocity.

And this is not an ordinary arrow, it has a longer body and a bigger arrow, with terrible barbs, like a ferocious beast.

General Nangong's heart sank!

He had never seen such an arrow!

A layer of ominous premonition welled up in his heart, and the next second, the ground under his feet began to shake, and the dust and sand began to tremble.

The horse was frightened and began to spin in circles restlessly.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of horseshoes from far to near was like heavy black iron hitting the cold bluestone slab, and it also hit everyone's suddenly tightened heart!

The sound was obviously still some distance away, but the powerful murderous aura had already covered the sky like flying sand and rolling stones, and the whole world was shrouded in a terrifying murderous aura!

Boom! Boom! boom

It's not the sound of war drums, but it hits people's hearts more than war drums!

The sound of the cavalry was getting faster and faster, like a rushing torrent rushing over.

It was a black armored cavalry wearing a ghost mask, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and even the horse's head was wearing a ghost mask.

They are like Shura ghosts from purgatory, carrying the ghostly aura of death, making everyone hold their breath in shock!

General Nangong's complexion suddenly changed!

Isn't this the rumored army of ghost faces?

The army of ghost faces is not the real dead, but that they are as terrible as the undead, and there is no one left alive wherever they go, just like pulling their opponents into the underworld purgatory alive.

The ghost-faced general holding a huge long knife rode Juechen over the heads of the fifty dragon shadow guards in the open space. He rode on a ghost horse and came straight to Nangong General Zhuang Taifu with an unstoppable murderous aura. Stand in front of Xiao Heng without any hesitation!

Zhuang Taifu took a closer look and gasped: "Xuan Pinghou?!"

He looked at Xiao Heng again, and saw that Xiao Heng's eyes were calm, and he was not surprised at Xuan Pinghou's arrival.

Oops!

Got it!

After playing for a long time, it was fleeing again, and there were loopholes in the mechanism. It turned out that it was all a cover-up, and the real killer was Xuan Pinghou!

Xuan Pinghou didn't wear a mask.

At this very moment, endless murderous aura was exuding from this stunningly beautiful face known as the number one face of Zhao Kingdom.

"Kill my son?"

Xuan Pinghou pointed at the long sword, smiled evilly, and said arrogantly, "It's you, the son of a turtle, or I, Xiao Ji, can't lift the sword anymore!"
