"Look at you, the Emperor ordered you to train troops, and you, instead, ran to Guanzhou. Aren't you afraid the Emperor will accuse you of disobeying an imperial decree?" Huo Baichuan casually changed the subject, swinging the licorice in his hand. Anyone who didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words would definitely think he was just chatting idly.
However, Wei Tingsi suddenly tightened his grip on the sword, took out a letter from his pocket, and threw it straight at Huo Baichuan. Just as the letter was about to reach Huo Baichuan's face, Duozi reached out and caught it with her delicate hands. After confirming that there was no problem, she handed it to Huo Baichuan.
Huo Baichuan waved the letter in his hand and put it in his pocket. "I hate being threatened more than anything in my life. Are you sure you want to do this, Brother Wei?"
“Those who blocked my way and whom I never threatened are all dead. If Brother Huo feels that’s not enough, there’s more here.” He made a gesture as if to take something from his robes.
Huo Baichuan raised his hand and said, "Alright, you win. Let's not talk about this anymore. Why did you have to get involved in the Yongwang family's affairs? You should focus on training your troops, and you'll have a peaceful end in the future." He put away his indifference and spoke with extreme seriousness and sincerity.
“Song Tianhe has no connection with the Huo family, so why should Brother Huo interfere?”
I have my reasons for interfering. Brother Huo and I have no enmity today or grudges in the past. You are blocking my way this time. I don't know how you explain it. Wei Tingsi did not want to be enemies with Huo Baichuan. Emperor Mingde had already positioned him as a person in charge of military power. He also wanted to command troops. He and Huo Baichuan were one civil and one military. Although there were occasional conflicts between civil and military officials, they were not life-and-death enemies.
Huo Baichuan shook his head. "I cannot disclose the Huo family's affairs. Song Tianhe is not enough for me to stop you here, nor do I intend to stop you. I just want to advise you that if you interfere, the court will be out of balance, and chaos will suddenly descend upon the world. I only ask, will there be troops to quell the continuous war?"
"My affairs do not involve court politics, so please rest assured, Brother Huo." After saying this, his expression became even colder, concealing the unnaturalness in his eyes.
However, Huo Baichuan was no ordinary person. He keenly noticed Wei Tingsi's unease, and recalling the little fat boy's words, he frowned, "You don't have some ulterior motive, do you? Tsk tsk tsk, just a little brat, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he received a murderous glare from Wei Tingsi. He was taken aback. "Look, even your shyness is so dry. You're hopeless." He shook his head, looking at Wei Tingsi with disdain. "I advise you to give up now. This female demon will make you suffer if you marry her."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sphere flew in, its immense force and the sound of it tearing through the air drowning out the howling wind.
Seeing that things were not going well, Duozi and Xiaopang quickly led Huo Baichuan away, not daring to confront him head-on. Huo Baichuan, sitting on the chair, said calmly, "I'm only advising you because I consider you a brother. If you're worried about not being able to find a wife, I'll introduce you to one. I guarantee she'll be a hundred times cuter than that little brat."
Wei Tingsi was not good with words, but he was furious. He scattered five spheres, which flew towards Huo Baichuan. After five, there were five more. Duozi and Xiaopang helped Huo Baichuan dodge quickly, but even so, the chair Huo Baichuan was sitting on was still shattered by one of the spheres.
Little Fatty was so frightened that he developed jaundice. He and Duozi quickly flanked him, standing far away. The two dared not blame Huo Baichuan, but they prayed in their hearts in perfect unison, "Young Master, please stop talking. This killing god will not show mercy just because you are the eldest son of the Huo family. When he goes berserk, he is probably even afraid of himself."
Wei Tingsi stared coldly at him, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and instead said, "Still not letting me?"
"Make way, make way, make way, let's go, let's go, really." Huo Baichuan glanced at the chair that was broken into pieces and said with a pained expression, "I must have committed a lot of sins in my past life to suffer like this in this life."
Wei Tingsi nodded to him from afar, then leaped and disappeared into the vast night.
After Wei Tingsi left, the chubby boy said anxiously, "Young master, why did you provoke him? He's not easy to deal with."
"What do you know? If people find out that he's helping that little princess of the Yong Prince's mansion behind the scenes, and the little princess is too close to the Crown Prince, then everyone will think he's the Crown Prince's man, and that'll be hilarious." He flicked the wood shavings off his robe. Really, using so much force, was that meant to kill him? Was it really necessary?
Little Fatty pouted, "In the past, Lord Wei even went to Prince Yong's mansion to help regulate the guards. People already knew that Lord Wei had a connection with Prince Yong's mansion."
"That's different." Huo Baichuan was too lazy to explain and said irritably, "Have all the traces been cleaned up?"
"Young master, please rest assured, it has been cleaned up and no one will know." Little Fatty hurriedly reported, but he was still thinking about Huo Baichuan's words. What was different about them?
"Guanzhou is not peaceful these days, and it's causing too much trouble. How's Song Tianhe's situation?" He spoke incoherently and sighed.
The chubby boy lowered his head. The young master rarely sighed, but since arriving in the capital, he had sighed frequently. "Not yet, but this servant has discovered that Jiang Yue is no longer at the palace."
"Where did she go?" Huo Baichuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. With just that one glance, Xiao Pang trembled in fright and hurriedly said, "The princess just entered the government office. She should be there."
He was just guessing. In the past few days, he had already figured out Zhao Shu's temper. How could she let Jiang Yue go? She left the palace for no reason and went to the government office that she had never been to before. If she said it had nothing to do with Jiang Yue's disappearance, he would be the first to disbelieve it.
Huo Baichuan listened to his words thoughtfully, "There's no need to go to the government office. Keep a close eye on Consort Hao's people. Hmph, success or failure depends entirely on tonight."
"Huh?" Little Fatty didn't understand. Shouldn't they go to the government office? Jiang Yue and Consort Hao had only recently met. With Jiang Yue's cunning, why would she tell Consort Hao where Song Tianhe was hiding? He didn't understand.
However, he still had to obey the young master's orders.
