Chapter 240 Our Xiaofeng is in big trouble
The next morning.
"Ruoruo, you're here."
Princess Anran looked at Jiang Ruo and the other person sitting in the front hall with a look of surprise.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Sheng Yunshao who followed him and quickly stood up, "Meet my father-in-law."
Sheng Yunshao snorted proudly and said angrily, "You still remember to come!"
I had finished the melon seeds a long time ago, and I didn’t even think to ask Little Phoenix to bring some over.
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Ruoruo and I have been busy with farm work lately, so we've been delayed for some time."
Jiang Ruo looked at Sheng Yunshao and chuckled.
"Old man, we've been very busy lately. After finishing our work, we rushed to see you and Auntie overnight."
"By the way, how are you doing in the capital?"
Sheng Yunshao was extremely proud when he heard this.
"I am now the famous 'Divine Doctor Yun' in the capital. Anyone who wants to see me has to beg me humbly."
"Besides, I don't even have to kneel down to salute when entering the palace."
Jiang Ruo looked at Sheng Yunshao's smug face and smiled with curved eyebrows.
Not bad, you are doing well!
"Okay, let's go have breakfast first." Princess An Ran said, pulling Jiang Ruo away.
Thinking about what Little Phoenix had done last time, Princess Anran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ruoruo, the last time Little Phoenix left, he deliberately went for a stroll around the palace."
"It is said that everyone in the palace was tormented by it."
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
There is such a thing?
After Little Phoenix returned, she didn't say a word.
During the meal, Jiang Ruo lowered her voice and said, "Aunt, we are going to the border and we will leave tonight."
Sheng Yunshao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
There are two nomadic tribes on the border, and I don't know if they have cows...
"Ruoruo, please take some time to go to the herdsmen's place and see if they have any cows."
"Old man, that's exactly what I was thinking." Jiang Ruo smiled slightly and took a few bites of food.
In the court.
Xiao Junze looked at the urgent letter in his hand, which had been sent over 800 miles, with a look of confusion on his face.
What the hell?
The little phoenix is actually the guardian beast of the Beiyu Dynasty?
The King of Beiyu also asked him to return the little phoenix!
Who knows where that arrogant little phoenix has hidden?
Thinking of this, Xiao Junze handed the letter in his hand to Chief Steward Ji, "Chief Steward Ji, please read it to all the nobles."
"I obey your order!"
Manager Ji took the letter, cleared his throat, and read out the contents of the letter.
"The little phoenix is the guardian beast of the Beiyu Dynasty. Not long ago, its whereabouts are unknown..."
"My Lord has received news that the Little Phoenix has appeared in the palace of the Dayan Dynasty."
"I hope the monarch of the Dayan Dynasty will return the little phoenix to our Beiyu Dynasty. Otherwise, my monarch will personally lead the army to attack the Dayan Dynasty."
After Manager Ji finished reading, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
This isn't asking, this is robbery!
Besides, the little phoenix is not in the emperor's hands!
The little phoenix hasn't appeared since it made a splash in the palace last time.
After hearing this, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment...
The Dayan Dynasty and the Beiyu Dynasty have lived in peace for many years. What is the intention of the King of Beiyu?
Could it be that the King of Beiyu wants to use the incident of the little phoenix... to start a war?
Thinking of this, the ministers' expressions changed.
Xiao Junze looked at the frightened looks of the ministers and snorted coldly.
You're so scared even before you even go to the battlefield.
A bunch of cowards!
Xiao Junze's face darkened, and he looked at the ministers with sharp eyes, "My dear ministers, what are your opinions on the letter?"
After a moment of silence, Tang Zhongxu stepped out of the line.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about who the little phoenix belongs to. It's unreasonable for the King of Beiyu to give it to us!"
"I think we should use courtesy before force."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze nodded, "Lord Tang, what you said is absolutely true."
After some discussion, Xiao Junze decided to write a letter to the King of Beiyu.
He made it clear in the letter: The Little Phoenix was not in their hands, and if they started a war for it, they would bear the consequences themselves.
After the morning court session, the news that King Beiyu was thinking about Little Phoenix spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin had nothing to do, so they strolled to the general's mansion.
Hearing that someone was thinking about Xiao Fenghuang, Jiang Ruo immediately perked up.
Lord Beiyu, I will remember you.
Xiao Chengjin listened to the discussions around him and smiled wickedly, "Ruoruo, our Xiaofeng is in big trouble."
The last time Xiaofeng came to deliver the goods, he also went to the palace to provoke some.
Now, even people from the Beiyu Dynasty are thinking about it.
Jiang Ruo thought of Little Phoenix's arrogant look and smiled smugly, "Hey, this is nothing."
"As Xiaofeng's parents, no matter what trouble he gets into outside, we have to help him deal with it."
"Oh, by the way, if the two countries really go to war, who will win?"
Xiao Chengjin heard this and a smile flashed in his eyes, "From what I know, the military strength of the two countries is comparable."
"If Beiyu unites with the surrounding nomadic tribes, our soldiers may be unable to cope."
"Of course, if food and military supplies are available, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Jiang Ruo nodded and muttered, "Alas, we only have one life, so we should avoid fighting if we can."
The two chatted as they walked, and unknowingly arrived at the back door of the general's mansion.
"Should we just go in, or..."
Before Jiang Ruo could finish her words, Chu Ruoyan climbed over the wall and came out...
"Oh my god! What a miracle!" Jiang Ruo patted his chest.
"Who are you?"
Chu Ruoyan was dressed in men's clothes and looked at Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo in front of her with vigilance.
Jiang Ruo smiled and said teasingly, "Miss Chu, you are not going to look for Ning Jinghuai, are you?"
When Chu Ruoyan heard this, alarm bells rang in her heart.
She took a step back and quickly took out the dagger she carried with her. "Tell me, who are you?"
He actually knew Ning Jinghuai.
Could it be that someone has been targeting me for a long time?
Jiang Ruo chuckled, "Miss Chu, don't be nervous. I'm Jiang Ruo and he's Xiao Chengjin." She said the last sentence in a very low voice.
Chu Ruoyan widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard this.
She retracted the dagger and looked at the two people in front of her, "What?"
“You guys really are…”
No Adam's apple, she's a woman...
Jiang Ruo looked at Chu Ruoyan, who was full of doubt, and patted Xiao Chengjin's chest, "It's genuine."
Chu Ruoyan looked at Xiao Chengjin, who was like a wooden man, and became even more suspicious.
Is this Xiao Chengjin?
Didn’t they say he wasn’t interested in women?
That’s not right. Aren’t they in Jizhou?
Ran back secretly.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Chu Ruoyan, who was alert, and gently lifted the mask.
When Chu Ruoyan saw Xiao Chengjin's face, she said anxiously, "Put it back on quickly."
Oh my god, it really is this guy.
Without saying a word, she climbed over the wall and entered.
The next moment, the door was opened by Chu Ruoyan...
She restrained her expression and said solemnly, "Mr. An, Mr. Xiao, Madam Xiao, please forgive Ruoyan for any offense just now!"
Jiang Ruo chuckled, "It's normal that we didn't recognize each other since one of us was wearing a mask and the other was dressed as a man."
"By the way, are the people in the General's Mansion reliable?"
Chu Ruoyan looked at Jiang Ruo, who was traveling in a carefree manner, and inexplicably developed a sense of goodwill towards her.
She looked happy and said, "Mrs. Xiao, don't worry, everyone in the mansion is reliable."
The two of them entered the back door together, chatting as they walked.
Xiao Chengjin: “….”
Ruoruo, wait for me!
Alas, another day of being ignored.
