He knew that his father was thinking of him and was deeply moved.
"I know clearly what Father meant, but I know even more clearly that my second brother is traveling south this time to replenish the national treasury. If I can have the help of a trusted relative, I will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qixuan laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, great, I'm very relieved that you think so."
"Then we'll do as you say. Pass the order down and have Xu Guang set off immediately, and have Li Wanjing lead the troops to escort him."
The prince stood up and bowed, "Father, you are wise!"
Late at night, many things happened in the quiet capital. Some people were arrested, some were temporarily ordered to do something, some were happy, and some were frightened...
Luozhou.
In the study of the governor's mansion.
Governor Han looked at the masked man in black in front of him.
"You have been given the opportunity, but you failed to grasp it. This makes me doubt your ability!"
The masked woman sneered.
"How dare you bring this up? You clearly said it yourself. There were only two guards in their group. How come so many people suddenly appeared out of nowhere?!"
Three of her men were killed because of this!
When mentioning this, Han Jifu's face turned ugly.
He was also very puzzled. He was sure that after the two evil creatures of the Chu family left the city, no one went out of the house where they stayed.
Those people were really just a convoy passing by.
But this made him even angrier.
Why?! Why are they so lucky?! Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the masked woman rolled her eyes impatiently, unwilling to waste any more time.
"We will find an opportunity to take action against the Su family, and then frame Chu You. By then, he will be hated by everyone in Luozhou, and he will naturally leave. Then, we will take action."
"no!"
Han Jifu resisted this method subconsciously without even thinking about it.
“The Su family can’t move!”
The Su family is his money bag! The woman snorted coldly, "Han Governor, I must remind you of something!"
"If our people hadn't been so alert, the letter exposing your grandson's cheating in the Autumn Examination would have already reached the capital!"
Hearing this, Han Jifu suddenly tightened his hands on his knees.
But he let go the next moment, his eyes slightly narrowed, his tone was cold and inexplicably dangerous.
"You threaten me?"
The woman in black showed no fear at all, her expression as cold as before as she stared at him.
"Don't say that. It's just a matter of mutual benefit. Besides, it's just killing one person from the Su family. It won't affect you, right?"
After hearing this, Han Jifu frowned and thought for a long time.
That's true.
He raised his eyelids, his tone threatening.
"I hope you'll keep your promise."
The woman sneered, then jumped out of the window and disappeared by the wall in a few flashes.
As soon as the masked woman jumped down from the wall, she heard hurried footsteps.
"Sister Ying, the place where we were hiding was taken down!"
The woman was horrified.
"What did you say?!"
Mo Ying looked at the few people carefully. They were all injured to varying degrees, which showed that the people who were besieging them were all highly skilled in martial arts.
"Do you know where the other party came from?"
One of the men in black shook his head.
"Every move is ruthless, but it's hard to tell where they're going."
Thinking of what happened just now, he looked panicked.
"Sister Ying, there were originally 20 people, but now there are only eight of us left. Why don't we go back first and make a long-term plan later?"
After he said this, the other six people were also somewhat shaken.
His eyes swept across the faces of several people one by one, taking in all their subtle changes.
Mo Ying's expression suddenly turned cold and he pulled out a dagger from his waist.
Under the moonlight, a cold light flashed, and with a "puff" sound, the man who had just spoken fell to the ground, holding his neck.
After twitching a few times, he stopped breathing.
Mo Ying looked at the other six people coldly.
"Since His Highness has given us the mission, we must complete it at all costs!"
"Do you understand?!"
The six people nodded quickly, "Understood!"
…
In the house in the east of the city.
After Chu Yaoyao quit the live broadcast, she couldn't sleep at all.
[Attack the Su family? ]
[No, I have to tell my second brother right away! ]
She had just put on her shoes when the door opened.
"Yaoyao, are you still awake?" Chu You walked in carrying a lunch box.
"Second brother?"
Seeing her like this, Chu You intuitively felt that his decision to let He Xi cook the calming soup was the right one.
Yaoyao must be scared because of what happened during the day and dare not sleep.
[It's just right. I can tell my second brother that the Han family is planning to take action against the Su family. However, if my second brother asks about the source of the information, how should I explain it? ]
Hearing this, Chu You paused in taking the bowl of soup, and the calming tea shook, spilling some.
Attack the Su family? Chu Yaoyao wrinkled her face and pulled her hair in anxiety.
[It’s really a headache. ]
Seeing her conflicted look, Chu You shook his head slightly.
After all, I couldn't bear to let her continue to suffer.
"The Han family doesn't dare to attack us directly. They might do something shady and frame us."
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao nodded hurriedly.
"Yeah yeah."
Chu You scooped a spoonful of calming soup and fed it to her mouth, then continued speaking.
"Thinking about it this way, he is very likely to attack the Su family."
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao almost spit out the soup that had just entered her mouth.
She stared at her second brother in amazement.
[Second brother is really good, he can guess this almost accurately! ]
Seeing her cute little look, Chu You suddenly became playful. He scooped up half a spoonful and poured the liquid into her slightly opened mouth.
Chu Yaoyao was unable to react in time and two drops fell onto her clothes. She immediately looked at someone with an accusing look.
“Ahem!”
Chu You smiled awkwardly, "Drink the soup first, and let Ah Shi help you find clothes later."
With a serious look on his face, he continued, "It just so happens that Mr. Li Si brought many experts with him. I will discuss with him later and borrow two people to secretly monitor the movements of the Su family. This can also be regarded as a kind of protection."
After hearing this, Chu Yaoyao was completely relieved and drank her soup with peace of mind.
After finishing the soup, Chu You replaced Ah Shi in.
After helping the little guy to wash up again, Chu Yaoyao took out a small toothbrush and brushed his teeth with a grunt. As soon as he returned to bed, he felt sleepy.
Listening to the breathing inside gradually becoming longer, Chu You finally felt at ease to leave.
…
After drinking the calming soup, Chu Yaoyao slept well all night without even having any dreams.
The next day at 1:01 pm.
"Princess, princess, it's time to get up."
Ah Shi knocked on the door and then walked in carrying a basin of water.
Seeing a little kid covering his head with a quilt, she shook her head helplessly and reached out to pull the quilt down.
Looking at the little face that is rosy when sleeping, as if it is a ripe apple.
She couldn't help rubbing it and whispered:
"Princess, we have to go to the Han family for a banquet today. You should get up and wash up."
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao suddenly opened his eyes.
"Han family, banquet?"
[Oh, yes, there is also a Hongmen Banquet today! ]
She instantly perked up when this was mentioned.
【Let’s go, let’s eat some melons! 】
