Chapter 310: Coward, dare to question my strength

Jiang Ruo looked at the panicked Fan Qijun and knew that he was overthinking it.

"Master Fan, don't panic. He is here to look for us."

When Fan Qijun heard this, he was immediately furious.

He looked at the leisurely couple and said hurriedly, "Master, Madam, he must be coming..." As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"So, before he arrives, quickly pack up your things and run away. I'll take care of the rest!"

Why is the emperor like this?

It's not over until someone is killed...

Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows, "Why are you running? We're not running."

Fan Qijun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in fear: "Master, aren't you afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"He wants to abdicate, and no one can stop him." Xiao Chengjin said very calmly, and curled the corners of his lips.

After hearing this, Fan Qijun became even more frightened.

He said tremblingly, "Master, please don't be impulsive. If a fight breaks out, I won't be able to save you!"

Oh my, what is going on!

No, hurry back to the palace and gather the palace soldiers, and help as much as you can...

Xiao Chengjin seemed to see what Fan Qijun was thinking, and he curled his lips and said, "He left the capital secretly. You don't need to interfere in this matter. Just stay in the government office and wait for good news from me."

"When the time comes, if you want to get promoted or make a fortune, just tell me."

Fan Qijun: I don’t want to get promoted or get rich, I just want to live a good life.

Okay, it looks like I'm ready.

Fan Qijun, who originally wanted to stay for lunch, suddenly lost his appetite. After staying for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruo stood up and tried to persuade him to stay, "Master Fan, please have lunch first!"

Fan Qijun cupped his hands, his brow furrowed, "Thank you, madam. I have no appetite."

"I'm leaving!"

After Butler Lin escorted Fan Qijun to the carriage, Xiao Chengjin muttered to himself, "You coward! How dare you question my ability?"

Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows: This tsundere guy is quite cute when he looks so arrogant.

.......

Xiao Junze and his group followed the planned route.

Along the way, Xiao Junze was very glad to have "Dr. Yun" accompanying him.

He felt unwell several times during the journey, and was cured by acupuncture by "Dr. Yun".

Little did he know that there was a reason for his physical discomfort, which was that Sheng Yunshao had secretly tampered with him.

Princess Anran's body would definitely not be able to withstand the long journey.

Sheng Yunshao felt sorry for his wife, so he had to take it out on Xiao Junze.

A month later.

Xiao Junze and his group arrived at an inn near Jizhou.

In the private room, Xiao Junze looked at the secret guard kneeling in front of him and asked with a gloomy face, "Have Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Chengjin done anything recently?"

The secret guard bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, Xiao Chengjin and his wife have been tending to the farmland on the farm recently, and there is nothing unusual."

Xiao Junze nodded and thought to himself: My aunt is sensible and did not secretly pass the news of his coming to Jizhou to Xiao Chengjin.

"Tonight, you lead them to ambush quietly near the village. Tomorrow night, I will go there myself."

"The people around Xiao Chengjin are all masters, so don't expose yourself."

"I obey your command."

Xiao Junze waved his hand, "Alright, you can leave now!"

"I'll take my leave." The secret guard turned and left the private room, quickly disappearing into the night.

Sheng Yunshao, who was in the private room next door, pricked up his ears and spat quietly after hearing the sound of the door closing.

"Ah, what are you showing off for? Your death is coming soon."

Princess Anran pulled Sheng Yunshao over and pressed him onto the bed. "Alright, we'll be able to see Jin'er and the others tomorrow night. Let's get some rest."

Sheng Yunshao's old face turned red, and he closed his eyes and leaned against Princess Anran.

After the secret guard left, the private room fell into silence.

Steward Ji, who was standing to one side, looked at the worried Xiao Junze and said flatteringly, "This old servant congratulates the emperor in advance. The emperor will surely tame the phoenix successfully."

"Of course." Xiao Junze's tone revealed full confidence.

"It's getting late. I'll wait for you to rest."

There was a hint of excitement in Manager Ji's expression.

When the emperor takes the phoenix blood, he will also benefit from it.

No matter how hard this journey is, it is worth it...
