Su Yun is indeed a great beauty.
Faced with such a charming and beautiful woman, it would be hard for anyone to resist her advances...
"Su Yun, this matter really has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Yu helped her up and patiently explained, "I was the one who crippled Bai Can's arms. They came to avenge Bai Can, and it has nothing to do with Duke Liu."
Although Liu Guogong was no good either, and was about to be beheaded.
"Does Your Highness find me unworthy?"
Su Yun looked like she was about to cry. She had used up all her courage with those words, but she still didn't expect to be rejected.
She felt that Xiao Yu must look down on her... or rather, despise her!
"No, no."
Xiao Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "You are very beautiful. Any man who sees you will be moved... But I have a fiancée and a wife. Besides, I didn't save you to make you work like a slave."
"I have no intention of seeking status," Su Yun said softly.
She never thought Xiao Yu would marry her, not even as a concubine. Su Yun didn't dare to even consider it. She only planned to secretly repay Xiao Yu with her body.
"I know."
Xiao Yu stared at Su Yun and said, word by word, "But I saved you not for these reasons... Go back to the Prince's Mansion and have Wang Chao bring a few guards over. I'll stay here and check if they have any clues."
"oh."
Su Yun's cheeks flushed red. Although she felt somewhat embarrassed and disappointed, her gaze towards Xiao Yu was filled with even more admiration.
This is the true hero in her heart.
Unfortunately, I'm not worthy!
Concealing her disappointment, Su Yun said, "I'm going back to the Prince's Mansion to find Captain Wang Chao now, Your Highness, please be careful."
After saying that, she reluctantly looked away from Xiao Yu and quickly walked outside.
Xiao Yu watched the voluptuous Su Yun leave before slowly withdrawing his gaze.
"Even a rabbit won't eat the grass near its burrow. If I really take you in, even if I don't give you a proper title, the two of you will see each other all the time in the Prince's mansion... Sooner or later, something bad will happen!"
"Of course, it's not that I'm afraid of getting into trouble. I'm a gentleman, I just don't want to take advantage of someone in distress."
After saying that, Xiao Yu squatted down and pulled off the black cloths covering the faces of the four men in black, revealing their true faces.
The four middle-aged men were all unfamiliar faces.
Xiao Yu reached out and searched them a few times, but unfortunately found no clues. Apart from their black clothes and the weapons they carried, they had nothing else with them.
"Draw their likenesses and have Wang Chao investigate. As for the bodies... have Wang Chao and his men send them to the Bai family!"
"These four assassins are more than 90% likely sent by the Bai family. Let's send them back to annoy them first. Even if the Bai family turns out to be innocent, it won't stop me from annoying them."
Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
Then, I wandered around the neighborhood and bought pens, ink, and paper.
In his previous life, Xiao Yu had taught himself traditional Chinese painting and used simple lines to draw the faces of four people on paper.
Just as Xiao Yu finished drawing the four people, Wang Chao arrived with seven or eight soldiers, who rushed into the house with swords in their hands.
Su Yun followed behind, panting heavily, her small hands stroking her high, firm breasts, her pretty face covered in sweat.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
After hearing Su Yun's account of what happened, Wang Chao led his soldiers all the way here.
Because there were no house numbers in this era, they could only rely on Su Yun to lead the way.
By the time we arrived, we were completely out of breath.
"How did you get so tired?"
Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment, and asked, "I've already killed these four people, what about you...?"
"Wang Chao said, what if these four people have accomplices?"
Su Yun swallowed hard before continuing, "I thought so too. What if they have accomplices, and Your Highness doesn't know... Although they can't beat Your Highness, what if they use hidden weapons or launch a sneak attack..."
Su Yun became more and more frightened as she spoke, and her pretty face turned pale, whether from exhaustion or fear, it was hard to tell.
"I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled, still feeling somewhat touched.
Then, he handed the portrait to Wang Chao and said, "First, check with several government offices in the capital to see if they have any information on these four people. Then, send these four corpses to the Bai family."
There were government offices in the capital, and more than one.
"yes."
Wang Chao nodded, then cautiously asked, "That Bai family?"
"Bai Tianhao's General's Mansion".
Xiao Yu said coldly.
"Bai Tianhao..."
Wang Chao was taken aback, not expecting that these four assassins were related to Bai Tianhao. Immediately, a resolute hatred flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"Don't fight with them, just return the body to them," Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Zhan, Zhao Haining, Wang Chao... these people are all veterans of the Xiao Royal Mansion, and they have deep feelings for the Xiao family and Xiao Yu.
In their eyes, Xiao Yu was not only their master, but also the only bloodline of their former master, General Xiao. In their hearts, Xiao Yu was extremely important.
Anyone who dares to touch Xiao Yu, even a general, they would fight to the death!
"Understood, Your Highness."
Wang Chao nodded.
"I have other things to attend to. Remember to escort Su Yun back to the Prince's residence."
Before leaving, Xiao Yu spoke.
"yes."
Wang Chao nodded.
After Xiao Yu left, he compared the four portraits with the four men in black one by one and was quite surprised: "When did Your Highness learn to paint? And the paintings are so lifelike that you can tell them apart at a glance."
"Perhaps it was taught by the princess."
The guards standing nearby said, "Our princess is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I heard from Yang Niannian that the prince and princess often paint together in the room. After they finish painting, they put the paintings in the brazier and burn them. We don't know what they painted."
"I see."
Wang Chao nodded, then stared at the guard and asked, "Why did Yang Niannian tell you? You wouldn't be...?"
"I'd like to."
The soldier sighed in disappointment and said, "How could I possibly covet such a beautiful woman? I overheard her talking to Da Niu when I was passing by."
"oh."
Only then did the dynasty withdraw its gaze.
...
On the other side.
Xiao Yu arrived at the Jade Liquid Pavilion.
Today is the day he and Empress Wu Xuanhuang agreed to compose poems together.
"I wonder what reward the Empress will bring me this time?"
Xiao Yu glanced at the signboard of Jade Liquid Pavilion and saw a long queue at the entrance. Ever since Manager Xu bought chicken essence and MSG from Xiao Yu, the restaurant has been packed with customers every day.
"Young Master Xiao, you've arrived? Please come in, come in!"
At the entrance of the restaurant, the waiter saw Xiao Yu and quickly ran over to greet him, saying, "Knowing you were coming, the manager specially reserved a private room for you and Miss Zhen."
"good."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, then asked, "Has Miss Zhen arrived?"
