Chapter 613 Urgent News
After the shrub landscaping.
The Queen Mother stood opposite two arrogant palace maids and eunuchs.
Hearing the footsteps approaching and then leaving behind her without even stopping for a moment, the Queen Mother's face turned pale, and her hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves.
Seeing her like this, the palace maids and eunuchs thought she was so humiliated that she couldn't even lift her head. Too lazy to say anything more, they lifted their chins and pushed her away before walking away. "Is she mentally ill? She knows that those of us who serve the Queen Mother look down on her, yet today she's tackling us, going against her usual behavior and asking for a scolding. What's she thinking? We're not afraid of her! Humph!"
"She's just pretending to be pitiful. Bai Xiaofeng has been spending a lot of time at the lakeside pavilion lately. This is the only way back to the southern palace. If he saw with his own eyes that a princess dowager was being scolded like a dog by a servant, maybe Bai Xiaofeng would soften his heart towards her. Tsk! Even I can see through this little trick, how could someone like Bai Xiaofeng not see through it?"
"That's right, that person's methods are enough to give the king a headache! How could she not see through such a petty and despicable trick? She's miscalculated, hahaha!"
"There's no need to bother with her. The master is keeping her here because he's worried about Bai Xiaofeng. Once Bai Xiaofeng leaves, she'll be dealt with!"
The two servants walked away, but the mockery and ridicule could still be heard from afar.
The Queen Mother numbly walked forward, her whole body in a state of despair. Dark clouds gradually gathered in her lowered eyes, until they were so dark that no light could be seen.
She wanted to save herself, but she fell into the cold ocean, with not even a straw to hold on to.
Even her own son abandoned her.
In that case, don't blame her.
…
At night, the palace where the distinguished guests from the south were staying temporarily lit up with palace lanterns.
The hall was very lively.
Tianbao, Bai Yu, Du Laotou, Su Wu and the Little Mai Sui couple were all there.
The five of them set up a low table on the small couch by the window and placed all kinds of delicacies they had collected in the royal city on it, filling the table completely.
The old man Du even personally went to a musical instrument store to look for a guqin and brought it back, paying for it with Bai Yu's money.
Bai Xiaofeng placed the guqin on the windowsill and casually played the instrument, his lips raised high. "You come here every few days, do you think this is an inn for dinner parties?"
Bai Yu waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Aren't you worried that you'll be too lonely here, godfather?"
Tianbao, "The Human King has come to our house several times, begging us to take you away, but we are not in a hurry. Godfather, we will go back when you have had enough fun."
Su Wu blinked slyly, "The palace is quite large. Uncle Du always wanders around every time he comes here. He still hasn't gotten to know the roads well. There's really no rush."
This time, Little Wheat Ear wholeheartedly agreed. "Uncle Broken Blade has been leading the Yuan army in a massive military training exercise on the border, creating a huge scene. Rumors have already started circulating in the royal city that the Central Plains are preparing to send troops against the Human people. This has frightened many of the city's dignitaries into frequenting the palace to put pressure on the Human King. He's much more anxious than we are right now. Perhaps if we stay a little longer, he'd rather cede the city and land and send us away."
The old man was the only one who was different. He was lying at the low table, legs crossed, and patting his belly. "Oh my god, oh my god, I'm full again. Grandpa stayed here for a few months, eating and drinking well every day, and I've gained a lot of weight... I wonder if Wangbai and the others will recognize Grandpa when I go back. There's a saying that makes sense: a broad mind leads to a fat body! Hehehe!"
He really had held on. He paused to catch his breath, then chuckled, "King Human is definitely coming again, trying to block us in the palace. This is the only unpleasant thing. We have to leave after just a short while. We can't stay any longer."
Bai Xiaofeng snorted and laughed. The Hu Man King no longer had the majesty he had when they first met. He had been anxious and irritated over the past few months, and his fatigue was evident. He looked much older.
It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away, so I want him to have a taste of this.
Returning to the topic, he said, "In the few months I've been here, I've secretly investigated and found no one among the descendants of the Human royal family with the wolf claw tattoo. Have you found any clues?"
Bai Yu shook his head and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a sharp cry in the night.
Bai Yu's face darkened. "It's a signal from the Killing Palace. It can't be used unless it's urgent. I'll go take a look."
Tianbao and the others stopped smiling and became serious.
The urgent news from the Killing Palace must be related to Dai Viet and the place of exile.
"Go quickly!" After saying that, Tianbao jumped out of the window right after Bai Yu and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the people couldn't stay any longer, so they followed him out of the palace to receive the report.
When King Hu Man hurried to the South Palace, the palace was empty. There was only a table full of leftover food and a guqin tilted at a corner on the windowsill.
"Your Majesty, they just left together for some unknown reason! Secret guards are following them to investigate!" The accompanying eunuch showed a hint of relief on his face. "Bai Xiaofeng has been staying in the palace for so long, and now he's finally gone. Perhaps he encountered something important that needs to be dealt with and won't be coming back! If so, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about how to send him away anymore. This is a good thing!"
"Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is unknown. It's too early to say." The Hu Man King was worried instead of happy. "For them to change color at the same time, something must have happened. I'm most worried that Hu Man is involved."
At that time, Hu Man was really a cause for concern.
Thinking of this, King Hu Man sat on the small couch, feeling his temples begin to throb with pain again. He didn't know how many times he regretted bringing Bai Xiaofeng here.
This move is like bringing the bomb to your home!
On the other side, outside the palace wall.
After Tianbao finished reading the secret letter, the aura around him became extremely cold.
Bai Yu and the others looked extremely unhappy.
The old man Poison grabbed the secret report he had read and stomped his foot to enter the palace again. Bai Xiaofeng was quick-witted and stopped him quickly.
"Why are you stopping me! You deliberately fooled us, acted low and pretended to be powerful, but secretly sent people to attack Duan Dao! You bastard! Grandpa will go and capture the Hu Man King now! If anything happens to Duan Dao, grandpa will use his head as an incense burner to burn incense to Duan Dao!" The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Calm down, you are the dumbest among us. If you want to take action, follow our plan! King Human is in the palace. There is no rush to catch him!" Bai Xiaofeng held the old man, and looked at Tianbao and Bai Yu. Without saying much to each other, they went out of the city together.
There are many people around the palace, and there are secret guards watching you in secret, so you shouldn't say too much.
After shaking off the tail behind them, several people found a quiet place outside the city. The old man had been cursing all the way and his voice was hoarse.
But it was also during this journey that his rationality began to return and he gradually realized that something was wrong.
"No one's eavesdropping. If you think something's wrong, tell Grandpa right away. I'm afraid I can't stay here any longer and will have to go to the palace to capture the Barbarian King again!"
Tian Bao pursed her lips and said, "Let's rest for one night, and then we'll go catch the Hu Man King and settle the score tomorrow."
Poison old man, "..."
In that case, why run out of the city?
You can stay in the palace at night and tie up the Barbarian King as soon as you wake up!
What's the play? Now is not the time to play, Broken Blade is trapped!
