Chapter 334 Don’t Try to Control This Commander

In the imperial study.

After Xiao Shunzi lit the candle, he turned and left the imperial study, closing the door.

Commander Wu looked back at the closed door and immediately felt alarmed.

What did he say? Sure enough, he guessed it right.

No matter how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince threatens or bribes me, I will never go along with him.

Xiao Mocheng looked at Commander Wu, who was full of vigilance, and raised his eyebrows.

Do you need to be so wary of me?

After coughing lightly, he said to Commander Wu, "Commander Wu, please sit down!"

Commander Wu bowed and said seriously, "Your Highness, I will just stand."

Xiao Mocheng sneered, "Alright, stand if you like."

He changed the subject and said in a sharp tone, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Commander Wu bowed and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Your Highness, please forgive my humble ignorance."

Humph! I have the Emperor's token in my hand. Don't even think about taking advantage of me.

Xiao Mocheng looked at Commander Wu thoughtfully, and complained inwardly: Commander Wu, you must have the token or other tokens left by our father!

It doesn’t matter. I will make you willingly serve me.

Xiao Mocheng said straight to the point: "Commander Wu, you should know the purpose of my father's trip to Jizhou this time!"

Commander Wu answered simply and crisply, "I don't know."

"Oh, really?" Xiao Mocheng curled his lips slightly and stood up from the table.

He came before Commander Wu and whispered, "Commander Wu, I will tell you everything right now. As for your choice, I will not force you."

"There's a saying that goes, 'He who knows the times is a hero.'"

Commander Wu remained silent, secretly complaining: "You little bastard, just tell me your purpose directly!"

Xiao Mocheng looked at Commander Wu who remained expressionless and began to speak to himself.

"I know what my father told you before he left the capital."

"A few days ago, I received news that my father was poisoned during his trip to Jizhou and has been taken into custody by Xiao Chengjin."

"At present, Xiao Chengjin has returned to the capital with his father and will arrive in the capital in about ten days."

Commander Wu seemed calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

What the hell?

The Emperor has fallen into that gentleman's hands...

Is this going to change?

Since the emperor is returning to Beijing soon, let's just wait and see what happens!

"Your Highness, are you finished?" Commander Wu's tone was steady without a trace of fluctuation.

Xiao Mocheng returned to his seat, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm done."

Humph! You must be very anxious!

Commander Wu clasped his fists and said, "Now that His Royal Highness has finished speaking, I will go on night patrol."

Xiao Mocheng felt a little annoyed as he looked at Commander Wu who was unmoved.

He said with a gloomy face, "Commander Wu, I have said what I need to say."

"I give you three days to make a choice..."

Commander Wu took over the conversation and replied in a firm tone, "Your Highness, a minister cannot serve two masters."

"I'll take my leave!"

Under Xiao Mocheng's sinister gaze, Commander Wu turned around, took a few steps, opened the door, and left in big strides.

Looking at Commander Wu's departing back, Xiao Mocheng's anger suddenly rose.

He thought bitterly: You ungrateful thing, you will regret it.

Xiao Shunzi looked at Commander Wu who was leaving quickly and knew that Xiao Mocheng had not convinced him.

Alas, why is Commander Wu so stubborn!

The current situation is clear. Will His Highness treat him unfairly if he follows him?

Xiao Shunzi entered the imperial study and said with a humble look, "Your Highness, you have to attend the morning court tomorrow. You should go back and rest early."

Xiao Mocheng rubbed his slightly painful brow and said, "Keep a close eye on Wu Zhengyuan, including his family."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take care of this matter."

After Xiao Shunzi finished speaking, he secretly planned to find time in the next two days to talk to Commander Wu in person.

"Return to the East Palace."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Xiao Mocheng walked out of the imperial study, Xiao Shunzi blew out the candle and left with him.

Commander Wu, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the master and servant's departing backs with a gloomy face.

No wonder my wife said a few days ago that she always felt like she was being watched.

It turned out to be Prince Gou’s man.
