Chapter 549 I was worried you wouldn't like me and wouldn't agree.

The Empress was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised by Xiao Su Bao's answer.

Xiao Mobao's expression changed slightly, but he kept his head down, so no one noticed.

Little Mo Bao wanted to say something, but didn't know how.

Just then, Huo Xian's hearty laughter was heard: "Haha, that's good. I was worried that you wouldn't like me and wouldn't agree!"

Xiao Su Bao glanced at her, then lowered her head. In Huo Xian's opinion, the little girl was shy!

Huo Xian's heart stirred slightly. If he pretended to help Xiao Su Bao later, the little girl would definitely thank him.

She smiled at Tang Bugui, her admiration for him evident to anyone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Su Bao is such a good girl, of course she likes you too, but she just doesn't know how to express it!" Jia Yi frowned from the side.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Huo Xian was acting a little strange today.

"That's good, I was just worried!" Huo Xian scratched his head, gave an embarrassed smile, and then secretly glanced at Tang Bugui.

Huo Xian was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, and then his eyelids twitched wildly.

How could she have forgotten this? She still remembers that four years ago, Huo Xian confessed his feelings to Tang Bugui!

Tang Bugui rejected him back then!

However, the earliest instance was when Huo Xian was fourteen years old, back when the young girl always liked to follow Tang Bugui.

She thought the girl had given up, but unexpectedly...

That's right. Tang Bugui is good-looking and skilled in martial arts. Apart from his seemingly cold personality, he has almost no flaws.

Moreover, even amidst a female army full of women, Tang Bugui remained unmoved by their advances.

After all, it was Tang Bugui who led the army in fighting during the time when the Empress was giving birth.

"How about..." Before Jia Yi could finish refusing, Huo Xian had already grabbed Xiao Su Bao's hand, a smile appearing in his eyes!

"Girl, let's go, I'll take you to get something delicious!"

Mo Bao instinctively tried to follow, but then saw what Xiao Su Bao was gesturing with her hands.

The foot that had followed paused slightly, then stepped back.

Tang Bugui frowned slightly and did not speak again.

What exactly does Su Bao want to do?

Tang Bugui glanced at Xiao Mobao subconsciously, and the young man happened to look over as well.

Tang Bugui remained silent for a moment, then turned his gaze away and followed behind the Empress.

Huo Xian led Xiao Su Bao further and further into the secluded area. The little girl was quiet and well-behaved, looking like she was easy to bully.

They had only taken a few steps when the little golden bean on Xiao Su Bao's head quietly disappeared into Huo Xian's arm.

A moment later, Huo Xian suddenly stopped, clutching his stomach.

"Oh dear, I think I ate something bad today. The kitchen is just ahead, you go ahead, I'll go to the outhouse and be right back!"

After saying that, Huo Xian didn't give Xiao Su Bao a chance to speak, turned around and left quickly.

Little Su Bao shouted, but the place was pitch black and there was no village or shop in sight, which seemed quite terrifying.

Little Su Bao used to be afraid of the dark, but now she is not afraid at all!

With family, with her father and mother, her brother and mother, the little girl felt she could fight against everything.

Almost simultaneously, two men in black appeared silently behind Xiao Su Bao.

Little Su Bao seemed to know nothing at all.

One of the men in black was holding a large knife and was about to chop it down on Xiao Su Bao's head.

"Girl, be careful!" Huo Xian appeared at this moment, rushed over, and directly took the blow with his own body.

Then, Huo Xian kicked the man away and snatched the broadsword from him.

At this moment, Huo Xian seemed like a hero...

But a hint of wariness flashed in Xiao Su Bao's eyes. All of Huo Xian's actions were fake!

She hadn't left yet; she was waiting for the man in black to appear.

He only appeared at the crucial moment after the man in black had already shown up.

Xiao Su Bao put away the dagger in her hand, but her eyes fell on the two people.

Two translucent insects fell out of Little Golden Bean's body and flew out instantly, landing directly on the eyes of the two people.

Neither of them even realized that the insect had entered their bodies.

Little Jinzi remained quietly prostrate on Huo Xian's body in front of her.

The two men in black were driven away. Huo Xian's face was covered in blood, but he still smiled and comforted Xiao Su Bao: "Are you alright? If something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to explain it to your father!"

Xiao Su Bao quickly helped Huo Xian up, pretending to be worried, and said, "General Huo, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't let you go to the kitchen, you wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

The little girl's eyes reddened, and she looked pitiful.

Huo Xian smiled instantly when he saw the little girl's expression.

Sure enough, kids are just kids; you can easily fool them!

Huo Xian shook his head, pretending not to care, and said, "I'm fine, as long as you're alright!"

Huo Xian still took Xiao Su Bao to the kitchen.

The military camp's kitchen was large and fully equipped, with maids tending the fire and cooks busily working.

Seeing Huo Xian injured, the old woman's expression turned slightly unpleasant!

"General Huo, what's wrong with you?"

She dropped the fish she was cleaning and ran over.

As for Xiao Su Bao, she pretended not to see it.

Huo Xian smiled at the newcomer and said, "Master Yao, I'm fine!"

After saying that, Huo Xian glanced at Xiao Su Bao and said, "As long as Miss Tang is alright, that's good!"

Master Yao's face darkened slightly as he glared at Xiao Su Bao, then said in a low voice, "It's only because you have a good temper that you're so lenient with this wild girl who came from who-knows-where!"

"I'm fine!" Huo Xian quickly said.

Then, as if remembering something, he was about to speak when he heard Xiao Su Bao say, "Two men in black just appeared. Shouldn't General Huo find them first?"

As soon as Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, Master Yao's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Huo Xian.

Although the wound looked like it was bleeding quite a bit, it wasn't deep!

Master Yao pursed his lips, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

However, in her eyes, Xiao Su Bao was an outsider, while Huo Xian might be their future boss.

"Get some food for this little girl and take it over!"

She gave Xiao Su Bao a deep look, then spoke softly.

Little Su Bao glanced at Master Yao and gave him a sweet smile, looking very well-behaved.

Master Yao's lips twitched. How could this girl be so obedient as to say something like that!

She paused for a moment and then said, "What do you want to eat? You can eat anything here!"

After Master Yao finished speaking, he took Huo Xian's hand and led her outside.

Little Su Bao didn't follow, but the Empress and the others were standing not far away!

They witnessed everything that had happened, and they were even there when Huo Xian secretly went to call for help.

In the shadows by the door, Master Yao released Huo Xian, took two steps back, and looked at Huo Xian with eyes full of disappointment.

"Xian'er, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Master Yao looked at Huo Xian, his voice tinged with anger.

Huo Xian paused, then said, "She is Brother Tang's daughter!"

Master Yao paused slightly, pursed his lips, and sighed deeply.

"So what? She's just young, not stupid. Do you know what she meant by what she just said?" Master Yao asked Huo Xian.

Huo Xian paused. She had only wanted Xiao Su Bao to be grateful to her, and the girl was grateful to her!

But now!

Huo Xian took a deep breath, a strange light in his eyes.

"I didn't expect her to bring up things from before under these circumstances. I... I was careless!"

She gritted her teeth and finished speaking the last sentence, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

They even came to hate Xiao Su Bao.

If it weren't for that brat being too shrewd, I wouldn't have been scolded by Master Yao!

Seeing the part in the girl's eyes, Master Yao frowned, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say what was on his mind.

After a long silence, Master Yao sighed: "Son, the path you want to take won't be easy. Don't do this for a man. No man is worth it, you know that?"

Before Master Yao could say anything more, she heard arguing behind her, and her brows furrowed slightly.

But he still hurriedly said to Huo Xian, "Xian'er, your goal is not personal feelings, but the great cause of the world. If you want to stand in the same position as Tang Bugui, then you will have to pay a higher price!"

"You must take control of the women's military camp, or else... you know what will happen to you..."

By the end, Master Yao's tone had become subtly threatening.

Huo Xian paused, watching Master Yao's departing figure, his heart filled with struggle.

She loves Tang Bugui. Ever since the day Tang Bugui saved her, she has secretly fallen for him!

But alas, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent; Tang Bugui ultimately did not like her.

She confessed her feelings so many times, but Tang Bugui never took her to heart.

"I must have him!" Huo Xian muttered to himself, then turned and left.

In the shadows, Jia Yi's face was extremely gloomy, and she subconsciously looked at Empress Tang Bugui.

The two of them did not change their expressions. The Empress gave a look to the guard behind her, and the guard left instantly.

The Queen and the others followed them into the kitchen.

At this moment, Xiao Su Bao is standing by the water tank.

The little girl stood helplessly to the side, the water in the vat now filled with mud.

"What happened?"

After Master Yao came in, he saw this scene and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Her gaze fell on Xiao Su Bao.

The little girl and Tang Bugui are quite similar, especially now that they've grown up; the little girl's eyebrows and eyes are almost identical to Tang Bugui's.

"Master Yao, this girl just spilled a handful of dirt into the water!"

The fire- tending girl glared angrily at Little Su Bao.

Their water vats are very large, filled with water that the girls work hard to fetch every day. It takes them a whole day to fill one vat.

Little Su Bao's mess means the girls will have to fetch water again today.

Master Yao glanced at the water, then at Little Su Bao, his brows furrowed.

To be honest, she didn't like Tang Bugui, nor did she like Xiao Subao, especially since the little girl was so pretty.

But today is Xiao Su Bao's first time here. Even if she doesn't give Tang Bu Gui face, there's no need for her to deal with a child.

"Alright, it's just a vat of water. We'll take it out first thing tomorrow morning!"

Master Yao glanced at the girl tending the fire, then looked at Xiao Su Bao, her tone somewhat impatient: "You can leave now!"

Little Su Bao secretly glanced at Master Yao, and suddenly a picture of Master Yao being pierced by a thousand arrows appeared in her mind.

In the video, Master Yao is shielding herself, and she cannot see the person wielding the sword clearly.

"Quick...go!" Master Yao pushed Xiao Su Bao aside, turned around, and headed towards the enemy.

Before Xiao Su Bao could react, the scene before her eyes changed slightly.

Master Yao was on the verge of death, with a sea of ​​fire behind her.

Little Su Bao raised her eyes and suddenly looked at Master Yao.

After a pause, the little girl suddenly spoke up: "Grandma Yao, you..."

"Don't call me Grandma, just call me Master Yao like everyone else!"

Master Yao stiffened slightly, but his voice softened a bit.

Xiao Su Bao paused, looked at Master Yao, and couldn't help but think of the Qian family.

The little girl paused for a moment, thinking about what she had just witnessed.

"I'm sorry!" The little girl bowed to Master Yao, then took out a talisman from her bosom.

"This is my talisman, I'm giving it to you!"

Little Su Bao couldn't help but speak up as she looked at Master Yao's body covered in merit.

Master Yao was slightly taken aback. He looked at Xiao Su Bao, then at the amulet in the little girl's hand, and paused.

"I don't need this. I believe in ghosts and gods, but I only believe in myself!"

Master Yao shook his head, his gaze softening as he looked at Xiao Su Bao.

Xiao Su Bao was at a loss for what to do; it was the first time she had been rejected so thoroughly.

At that moment, the Empress's voice came.

"Since you've given the girl to me, you should keep her!"

The Empress's voice was gentle, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Master Yao hurriedly turned around and bowed to the Empress, saying, "This humble general greets the Great General!"

Everyone stood up and bowed to the Empress.

The Empress waved her hand, her eyes showing a hint of gentleness.

This was someone who had always been by her side. The Empress had told her to leave, but she said she was used to it and that's why she didn't leave.

Master Yao stood up and looked at the Empress with a strange emotion in his eyes.

"General, I've made your favorite glutinous rice chicken, sweet and sour meatballs, and West Lake vinegar fish... Please try them later!" When Chef Yao looked at the Empress, although he looked at her differently than he did at others, it was obvious that he exuded a sense of closeness.

Little Su Bao stared at the two of them, and suddenly froze!

There was a red thread on Master Yao's body, and the red thread was swishing around the Empress!

However, the red thread between the emperor and empress was very strong, leaving no gaps for anyone else.

Little Su Bao was completely bewildered and had no idea what to say!

Just then, the Empress walked to Xiao Su Bao's side. She looked at the waterway, which had become very murky, and said, "Su Bao, if you have something to say, just say it!"

The Empress's voice instantly snapped Xiao Su Bao back to reality.

The little girl shook her head to calm herself down, but couldn't help but steal a glance at Master Yao.

When Master Yao saw Xiao Su Bao's appearance, he thought the little girl was going to complain to the Empress.

She felt a slight displeasure, but said nothing.

Just then, Xiao Su Bao's voice came: "This water has been poisoned!"

As soon as Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, the entire kitchen became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
