Chapter 266 Do You Really Think the Xiaos Are Businessmen?
The night deepens.
The lights in Murong Hongyi's palace tent were bright.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Tomorrow's "escort" mission is not important. He just wants to avenge the beating he received a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Murong Hongyi frowned and thought to himself: No, I have to give some instructions to those stupid subordinates.
He got up, got out of bed, and left the inner room, then shouted outside, "Someone come."
A guard entered the tent, bowed, and said, "Prince Yi, what are your orders?"
Murong Hongyi said coldly, "Go and call my subordinates. Remember, do not alert anyone else."
"I understand!" The guard responded and turned to leave.
About a quarter of an hour later, more than twenty men yawned and entered the palace tent one after another.
"I've met Prince Yi!"
"No need to be so polite!" Murong Hongyi sat in the upper seat, glaring coldly at the absent-minded crowd.
Zhalezhen observed Murong Hongyi's expression and knew that he was unhappy.
He took a step forward and asked cautiously, "I wonder why Prince Yi summoned us here so late at night?"
Murong Hongyi coughed lightly and said in a sharp tone, "Tomorrow we will escort the Xiao couple to the Zhaoding Tower, so you all better be smart."
After he finished speaking, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
Everyone shuddered suddenly.
They quickly put away their nonchalant expressions, patted their chests, and bowed, saying, "We will obey Prince Yi's orders!"
For a moment, the palace tent fell into silence.
Murong Hongyi felt much better after reprimanding his subordinates.
He said with great disdain: "Zha Le Zhen stays, the rest of you leave!"
The subordinates except Zhalezhen looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll take my leave!"
They called us in the middle of the night, and we thought something big had happened, but it turned out they were just calling us.
After everyone left, Murong Hongyi said to Zha Le Zhen who was standing in front of him, "Zha Le Zhen, go to Doctor Hu later and ask him for some muscle softening powder."
"Tell Doctor Hu to mind his mouth!"
Zha Lezhen was shocked when he heard this.
He raised his eyes to glance at Murong Hongyi, then quickly touched his chest and bent over, saying, "I will definitely take care of this matter, Prince Yi, please rest assured!"
Prince Yi, that's enough. If something really goes wrong...
Murong Hongyi stood up and snorted coldly, "You can leave now. This prince needs to rest."
"I'll take my leave!"
After leaving the palace tent, Zhalezhen went straight to Doctor Hu's tent.
After he came outside Doctor Hu's tent, he paced back and forth.
Zhalezhen looked at the lights in the tent with a confused look on his face.
I don’t know if Dr. Hu is asleep or not?
He secretly thought: Doctor Hu is not a easy person to control. If he knew that I wanted Softening Muscle Powder, he would definitely not give it to me easily.
Oh, how should I start?
Inside the tent, Doctor Hu, who was busy in the small pharmacy, snorted coldly when he heard the footsteps outside.
He slowly put the prepared herbs into the medicine cabinet and left the pharmacy.
Zha Lezhen stopped and approached the tent door to listen carefully to the movements inside the tent...
At this moment, Doctor Hu's voice came from inside the tent: "Don't stand outside in the cold, come in!"
When Zhalezhen heard the sound, he froze in fear.
"Okay!" He raised his hand and gently pushed open the tent door, then tiptoed into the tent.
Zha Lezhen looked at Doctor Hu sitting on the couch and said guiltily, "Please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night, Doctor Hu!"
Doctor Hu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "So it's you, kid."
"Tell me, why did you come to me in the middle of the night and ask for some kind of medicine that could harm someone?"
Upon hearing this, Zha Lezhen smiled awkwardly.
He took a few steps forward and came to Doctor Hu's soft couch, lowering his voice and saying, "Doctor Hu, you also know that I am under the command of Prince Yi."
"A few days ago, Prince Yi was badly beaten by that Dayan Xiao man, and he holds a grudge against him."
"This time, the Khan sent Prince Yi to 'escort' the Xiao couple back... You should understand!"
After hearing this, Doctor Hu curled up the corners of his lips and revealed a scornful smile.
"So, Prince Yi wanted to drug them during the 'escort' and assassinate them."
Zha Lezhen scratched his head and explained, "It's not a conspiracy. Prince Yi just wanted to give that man surnamed Xiao some muscle softening powder and beat him up..."
Doctor Hu snorted coldly, "Xiao... is Dayan's national surname."
"Do you really think the Xiao couple are businessmen?"
After this reminder, Zhalezhen was suddenly shocked.
He said in a trembling voice: "Doctor Hu, Doctor Hu, you mean..."
Doctor Hu didn't say anything, but gave Zha Lezhen a look that showed he understood.
Zha Lezhen thought of Xiao Chengjin's extraordinary aura, touched his chin and thought.
Yes, the person with the surname Xiao who can easily leave the city gate must be a member of the royal family of Dayan.
Such a big thing, but no one noticed it except Doctor Hu...
The more Zhalezhen thought about it, the more scared he became.
He sat down on the carpet and said in a pleading tone, "Doctor Hu, I don't want this muscle softening powder anymore. Please think of a way to get through this."
Alas, even if I don’t want the soft muscle powder, I still have to get the job done!
Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu gave Zha Lezhen a look that said, "You're smart."
"Just wait, I'll go mix some medicine powder that will definitely fool you." After he said that, he got up from the couch and went to the pharmacy.
Zha Lezhen stood up from the carpet and nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Doctor Hu."
A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Hu came out of the pharmacy and handed Zha Lezhen a medicine bag.
"Remember, this medicine will lose its effect after three days."
"If Prince Yi doesn't believe it, you can let him try it himself." Doctor Hu said with a hint of sarcasm.
Zha Lezhen took the medicine bag and put it directly in his arms, "Doctor Hu, I remember everything."
"Besides, it will take seven or eight days to reach the gate of Zhaoding City. Prince Yi will definitely take action on the last night, so don't worry!"
Doctor Hu nodded and said, "Get out of here quickly. Don't reveal the identities of the Xiao couple."
By the way, the couple came to the Salo tribe this time probably to buy cattle and sheep.
"Okay!" Zhalezhen replied and left happily.
.......
As their departure was imminent, the woman and Wei Mingtian got up before dawn.
The mother and son packed all the prepared dried meat and cheese into the bag.
The woman looked at the depressed Wei Ming and said softly, "A Ming, this sister will come to visit us again in the future, so don't be sad."
Wei Ming raised his little face and replied, "Mother, I understand."
As the sky gradually brightened, Jiang Ruo took out some rice and vegetables from the space and piled them in the corner.
"Xiao Chengjin, we can't just accept the cows that our sister-in-law gave us for free."
"How about this, we leave some money for them and their son." Jiang Ruo said, looking at Xiao Chengjin.
Hearing this, Xiao Chengjin leaned over and kissed Jiang Ruo lightly on the cheek, "Okay."
Jiang Ruo raised her arm and put it around Xiao Chengjin's waist, and said happily, "This trip here was not in vain."
"Look, our farm is deserted and looks a bit desolate. Raising some cattle and sheep would just add some life to it."
"Most importantly, we can also make roasted whole lamb, hehe!"
Xiao Chengjin was amused by Jiang Ruo's words, "Ruo Ruo, that's a good idea."
He could already imagine the cries of cattle and sheep echoing from the village from time to time...
At this moment, Wei Ming's voice came from outside the tent, "Sister, are you guys awake?"
Jiang Ruo looked at the sky and shouted outside the tent, "A Ming, we'll be there soon."
"Okay, let's go out!" Jiang Ruo let go of Xiao Chengjin's waist and put a purse on the coffee table.
Everything was ready, and Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo's hand and walked out of the tent.
It has been several days since I came out, and the old man and aunt must be waiting anxiously.
If we can get rid of those escorts tonight, we can go back...
