Chapter 320 The Grand Master is almost gone

"The Dragon Shadow Guards are numerous. If they truly wish to leave Baisha Valley, they will most likely disperse and operate in small groups," Xie Hui analyzed carefully. "Yancheng is currently celebrating the Flower God Festival, and there are many merchants traveling back and forth. They could very well disguise themselves as passing caravans or escort convoys, blending in with them. This way, even if dozens or even hundreds of them gather together, it won't arouse suspicion."

Xiao Jingfan said: "This is an opportunity."

Xie Hui nodded in agreement.

The Dragon Shadow Guards were the elite troops of the Great Yong Dynasty, passed down from generation to generation. Their strength should not be underestimated. If they could be defeated one by one, capturing them one by one, not only would the difficulty of capturing them be reduced, but casualties would also be minimized.

Xiao Jingfan thought for a moment and felt that this matter could not be explained clearly in the letter. In order to avoid missing the opportunity, he decided to let Xie Hui go in person.

"You will discuss your actions with Li Ze after you meet up. Try not to harm innocent people when arresting them," he said. "I grant you a gold medal. If necessary, you can force the government to obey your orders."

Chu Liuzheng came forward holding a gold medal. Xie Hui picked it up and looked at it again and again, then bowed to Xiao Jingfan and said, "I will definitely fulfill your mission."

Xiao Jingfan said: "There is no time to lose, you should set off tonight."

"Yes." Xie Hui accepted the order and was about to leave when Xiao Jingfan suddenly remembered something and called him back, asking, "Have the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao sent back any news?"

The two of them sent back a message once when they arrived in Xiancheng, and there was no news after that.

Xiao Jingfan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xie Hui said, "In reply to your Majesty, the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao have not contacted the secret agent stationed by the Jinyiwei in Xiancheng, and no news has been sent back."

Xiao Jingfan frowned when he heard this and secretly glanced at Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng was reminded and was looking through the system.

[I was just saying I forgot something. Were those three poor little guys, Prince Rui, Zhang Qian, and Jiang Zhou, rescued by the Grand Tutor and his men?]

[Hmm...Xiancheng, Sishui Town...]

[Holy crap! ! ]

She stared in shock at the news before her.

Xiao Jingfan shouted at her so hard that her heart almost stopped beating and her face turned pale.

What exactly happened?

Say it quickly!

Chu Liuzheng looked at the gossip in front of him.

The Grand Master and Marquis Wen Zhao accidentally became separated from their guards. The Grand Master was injured and captured along with Marquis Wen Zhao and thrown into a water dungeon.

【Frog Fun! The Grand Master is almost gone!】

Xiao Jingfan was so shocked that he almost stood up.

Seeing his face turn pale, Xie Hui hurriedly asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, Chu Liuzheng quickly gathered his thoughts and looked over. Seeing Xiao Jingfan's face pale as blood, he was also startled and immediately said, "I will call the imperial physician right away."

"No need, come back." Xiao Jingfan tried his best to remain calm, "I'm fine."

Chu Liuzheng turned around and looked at him.

[With your expression, you could even cosplay someone dead. How can you call that okay? ]

[This isn't the right way to show off. I really don't want to be buried with you.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Will this woman die if she doesn't curse him one day?

His most trusted ministers are almost gone, can't he just turn pale?

Xie Hui advised: "Your Majesty, the emperor's health is the most important thing. Please call the imperial physician to check his pulse."

Xiao Jingfan waved his hand: "I know what's going on, you go do your job."

Xie Hui still wanted to persuade: "Your Majesty——"

Xiao Jingfan was annoyed: "Get lost!"

Xie Hui rolled away quickly... no, he rode his horse as fast as he could to meet up with Li Ze.

Even though I was scolded by the boss, I still had to do my best.

Before leaving, he gave Chu Liuzheng a trusting look.

I'll leave it to you to persuade His Majesty to see the imperial physician! !

Chu Liuzheng: ???

No, you really think highly of me. Do I look like someone who can persuade a tyrant?

The rain is still falling, drizzling.

The cold wind blew in through the window, shaking the candlelight in the room.

The hall was filled with oppressive silence.

[Ying, why hasn't Eunuch Zhou come back yet? ]

Chu Liuzheng missed Zhou Yuande immensely at this moment. Only this eunuch could accurately guess the emperor's intentions and put out the fire. Unlike her, she didn't dare to leave, and she didn't dare to persuade him either.

Even a capable general like Lord Xie was told to "get out", so if it were her, wouldn't she be killed?

She couldn't help but sigh again.

[Alas! Tyrants are so hard to please.]

The difficult-to-serve Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Why don’t you continue reading gossip?

He waited for a moment, and seeing that Chu Liuzheng had no intention of continuing to eat melons, he cleared his throat and took the initiative to speak: "The Grand Tutor is my mentor. He hasn't sent any news back. I am very worried."

[Tyrant, are you talking to me? ]

Chu Liuzheng looked around and saw no one else, so he must be talking to her.

[Is this going to start a late-night chat section? ]

[However, the Grand Master's current situation is indeed cause for concern. Being imprisoned in a water dungeon is tragic enough, and being imprisoned with injuries is simply fatal.]

Xiao Jingfan's breath was choked. It was really deadly to stay here. Did he dare to say something else?

Of course Chu Liuzheng dared.

Since the big boss had expressed his desire to have a chat, she naturally had to comfort him.

So Xiao Jingfan heard the official voice, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The Grand Tutor is resourceful, Marquis Wen Zhao is also capable and agile, and with the protection of the Jinwu Guards you sent, nothing will happen."

Xiao Jingfan glared at her and said, "Don't you feel guilty about saying that?"

Chu Liuzheng felt it was unfair.

She tried to comfort him with good intentions, but the emperor actually glared at her. He wouldn't be happy until she said that the Grand Tutor was dying and Marquis Wen Zhao wasn't far from death either, right?

She curled her lips secretly and poured a cup of hot water for Xiao Jingfan.

[If you can't stand nice words, drinking hot water is always a good idea, right?]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He really wanted to knock open Chu Liuzheng's brain to find out why this woman's ideas were always so different from his?

Can't we just do it once?

Can you grasp the key point?!

After Chu Liuzheng poured the hot water, he saw that Xiao Jingfan had no intention of talking to her anymore. Instead, he had a gloomy face and looked like he wanted to eat someone alive with gritted teeth. He couldn't help but shudder and silently took a small step to the side, trying to stay away from the emperor who seemed to be going crazy.

Xiao Jingfan saw her actions: "..."

Otherwise, just chop this woman to pieces.

[The message from the Jinwu Guards requesting assistance is on the way. At this rate, it should arrive tomorrow morning.]

It was boring to just stand there, so Chu Liuzheng quietly flipped through the system.

[I haven't finished reading that piece of gossip yet, I've seen... here!]

Xiao Jingfan held the hot water and pricked up his ears silently.

Although he really wanted to kick out this woman who could anger the emperor to death, but... he still had to listen.

Knowing a little is helpful.

[Oh, the Grand Master has been wronged. How could these people shave off his most precious beard? The Grand Master is so angry that he almost died!]

[Tsk, Marquis Wen Zhao was even worse off. He struggled so hard that his arm was dislocated, but he still couldn't save his beautiful hair. It was so smooth that from a distance it looked like a salted egg, and it wasn't even seasoned.]

Xiao Jingfan: ???

That’s it?

Although one's body and hair are given by one's parents and cannot be easily damaged, this is far from the torture he imagined.

After all, shaving your beard and hair doesn't hurt.

Chu Liuzheng didn't know what the emperor was thinking and was still sighing in his heart.

[The "no" in the title refers to the loss of hair and beard. I thought the Grand Master was going to die.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Say it again!!

Chu Liuzheng suddenly noticed a cold gaze, turned around and was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

[Frog Fun! The Tyrant is about to transform!]

Xiao Jingfan narrowed his eyes slightly, curled the corners of his lips coldly, and uttered two words slowly and heavily: "Come here."
