"Hu Xiao, I have something that I want to discuss with you." Xue Mier looked into her eyes and said excitedly.
She quickly stepped through the doorway and closed the door behind her. Then, she said: "Hu Xiao, I have a presumptuous request, I want to join Red Armored Cavalry, okay?"
Xue Mier sat in front of Hu Xiao, smiled, and poured her a cup of tea.
Hearing this, Hu Xiao was quite shocked, thinking that Xue Mier suffered from some sort of provocation, to actually want to join her army!
Was Xue Mier able to join her army?
This young miss, even if she can’t fight, she will still be treated as a waste if she goes in.
"Xue Mier, is there something wrong with your head? To think that you would have such an idea." Hu Xiao took her tea and sipped: "You think you can do it when others are treating you as you?"
What’s wrong with this woman? Why does she want to mix in everything?
"No, Hu Xiao, I am serious, I have found my own position, I want to be like them, and contribute to the country." Xue Mier patted her chest and promised sincerely.
She thought, this is where the value of her life lies.
"What a pity ..." Hu Xiao sized Xue Mier up from head to toe, and when she met Xue Mier’s doubtful gaze, she finally said, "It’s a pity that your physique is not good enough."
Such a small body and you still want to join the army of the bride? Dream on!
Even if she agreed, the soldiers would not agree.
Hu Xiao laughed in ridicule. She poked Xue Mier’s shoulder with her finger and said, "Just a light push and you will fall. If you are allowed to go onto the battlefield, you will definitely not live past fifteen minutes."
"You bully people, Hu Xiao, you bully people too much." Xue Mier said angrily. Undeniably, Hu Xiao’s words were reasonable, she could not find any words to refute.
But, even so, Hu Xiao did not need to say the truth, right? Luckily there was no one in the room, otherwise, she would lose a lot of face!
In the evening, Soong Xuan finally came back with a tired body. She immediately found Hu Xiao and told him everything she had found out.
"Empress, we’ve discovered a strange place nearby that looks very much like a water bandit’s lair." Soong Xuan cupped her hands and respectfully reported.
"Bandits?" Hu Xiao raised his brows, there was already news about it.
"Yes, they are heavily guarded. We don’t dare to alert them." Soong Xuan continued to speak. They could not even count the number of people in the opponent’s group.
"Well done." Hu Xiao squinted his eyes. Water bandit’s nest? She wanted to see who would be so daring as to act so atrociously in front of her eyes.
She touched her chin, thinking of looking around sometime.
"Cousin, you don’t want to see it, do you?" Yin Fufeng suddenly asked. He was often with Hu Xiao and couldn’t help but notice what Hu Xiao was thinking.
Hearing his words, Hu Xiao smiled, her eyes releasing a bright light, and said with certainty: "Naturally, if we don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can we obtain the tiger’s nest? If we don’t go and take a look, how would we know what they are doing?!"
Maybe they were the ones spreading the rumors.
"I’ve decided. I’ll bring someone over to take a look tonight." Hu Xiao said with a determined voice, and she interrupted her advice.
"I know what I’m doing. No one needs to talk to me." She shrugged, nonchalant.
"Cousin, I’ll go with you. Go with more people, take care of them." Yin Fufeng’s expression became gloomy, Qin Shuo had told him to look after Hu Xiao, he did not want anything to happen to Hu Xiao.
His suggestion was rejected by Hu Xiao. She wasn’t going there alone, so what was Yin Fufeng worrying about?
Soong Xuan and the rest all expressed that they wanted to follow them, but in order to be fair with each other, Hu Xiao rejected them.
"Empress, it is too dangerous for you to go alone." Soong Xuan frowned, and said worriedly.
Hearing that, Hu Xiao smiled, and said: "When did I say that I was going to go there alone? Soong Xuan, Yin Fufeng, you two have to stay here, I have my own plans, I will choose a few people later, and after seeing them, I will come back. It’s not like I’m going to do anything dangerous, so what’s there to be afraid of."
She was not afraid of anything, while Yin Fufeng and the rest were, on the contrary, extremely worried.
That night, she picked a few people and went to the Water Bandit’s nest together, only to fall head over heels.
In the town hall, Soong Xuan and the others were extremely worried, time passed minute by minute, but there was no news of Hu Xiao.
"Has the Empress returned?" Soong Xuan shouted towards the door, and asked anxiously. She had asked this question more than a hundred times.
What’s going on? It’s been so long, I’m coming back early!
"Prime Minister Yin, could something have happened to the Empress?" Soong Xuan cast her gaze at Yin Fufeng and asked urgently.
She felt that Yin Fufeng should know something.
"Wait a little longer." Obviously, Yin Fufeng also didn’t know, at this moment and time, they could only wait for news.
Time quickly passed and after a quarter of an hour, the sky was already bright and there was still no news of Hu Xiao outside.
How could Soong Xuan not be anxious? She hated herself for not following him, if not she would have been able to get the Empress’s safety belt back.
She sighed, slammed her palm on the table, and excitedly said, "Something must have happened to the Empress, otherwise it would be impossible for her to not have returned. I will first tell the Emperor about this matter."
Soong Xuan’s chest moved up and down. As she spoke, she strode towards the door, wanting to tell Qin Shuo about Hu Xiao’s disappearance.
Yin Fufeng stood in front of her and shook his head: "Soong Xuan, don’t be rash. Calm down first, leave the Empress’ matter to me, I’ll go look for her."
After Yin Fufeng finished speaking, Soong Xuan calmed down a lot. She glanced at Yin Fufeng with a helpless look in his eyes, waiting for him to arrange things for her.
After Hu Xiao went missing, her mind was in such a mess that she did not have the energy to think about other things.
Yin Fufeng understood her thoughts, thus he said: "Soong Xuan, what you need to do now is not to rush to inform the emperor of this news, but to watch over this city, both within and outside the city. You need to watch carefully, don’t let the Empress return when the time comes, and the city will be in chaos."
Yin Fufeng analyzed calmly, the best way now was to split his troops and let Soong Xuan look after everything in the city, while Yin Fufeng went to check on Hu Xiao’s situation.
He had a premonition that Hu Xiao might very well fall into the enemy’s hands.
"Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll go out and do what I need to do." Soong Xuan took a deep breath, and her brain gradually cleared up.
Now that the sky had just brightened, Yin Fufeng was naturally not stupid enough to go over. If Hu Xiao was caught, he did not want herself to be caught and brought over.
