Chapter 188 Showdown



Yuntian pushed He Jingheng and stood far away.

"Sir, there are so many fierce tigers hiding in our mansion, and I unexpectedly discovered them." When Xiaobai appeared in the yard just now, he felt his head buzzing.

This is a tiger! Not a mouse!

These guys are so big, and there is only one of them. Where did they come from?

Are these secret guards all blind?

There were so many tigers, but I didn’t even notice them!

When the snow bandits came before, Shang Ruoyi released Baibai. The secret guards in the mansion were almost scared to death and fell into deep self-doubt. Have they been blind all these days? Where did this white tiger come from?

They had just accepted the fact that their princess had raised a white tiger, but Ye was shocked again.

The Crown Prince's Consort actually raised a group of tigers!

There must be something wrong with their eyes, otherwise how come they don’t even know where these tigers came from?

He Jingheng was quite surprised that these tigers appeared out of thin air.

He remembered that Shang Ruoyi brought them into the dense forest, so how could they appear from He Mansion?

"Bozi, is there a secret passage here?"

Maybe!

He Jingheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where it appears from."

Yuntian stood behind him and curled his lips silently.

It doesn't matter to you, the tigers won't bite you. Even if they do, with your skills, you can kill them, but at least you can avoid them without any problem. But they can't!

He had seen the speed of the white tiger. If he was targeted by it, he would be either dead or seriously injured.

They walked into the yard, and Yuntian was about to say that he would prepare some fresh meat for the tigers, when he saw Shang Ruoyi holding a basin in her hand, which was filled with fruits that she had picked from the greenhouse.

Tiger, eat fruit?

Don’t tigers eat meat?

She is worthy of being the Crown Prince’s Consort! Raising tigers is so unique.

Shang Ruoyi patted 께白's head, and 께白 let out a low growl, and the tigers obediently dispersed around the house.

Yuntian was so shocked watching this scene that his lower body almost dropped.

They actually obey orders and guard the yard!

Even the guarding position happened to be a blind spot for the secret guards.

Amazing! The Crown Prince's wife keeps a tiger, amazing!

"What do you want to do with Zhao Gang?" Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "I really don't know what the court is thinking, to actually send such a useless person to guard this place."

Although this is a place of exile, it is also a border. If the soldiers defending the city are weak, won't the city be lost soon?

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Zhao Gang returned to the city defense office, his body already soaked with sweat. He trembled as he took off his clothes, only to find that he had wet his pants out of fright.

"How could there be a tiger? How could there be a tiger in this desolate mountain and wilderness?" he muttered to himself.

At this moment, a yamen runner came in with a basin of water: "Master, please wash up!"

"Did you get the He family topographic map?"

"Master, the He family's defense is like an iron barrel. We can't get in at all."

I had thought I'd find a chance to investigate someday, but I didn't expect I couldn't even get through the gate.

"Waste!" he shouted angrily. "A bunch of waste!"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner lowered his head, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but Zhao Gang did not notice.

We are all trash, aren't you?

I don’t know who wet his pants in public.

"We must get the He family's blueprints, and by the way, find out where Miss He's room is." He said with a little fatigue in his voice: "Go down!"

When the bailiff closed the door, he couldn't help but spit. What the hell?

Since he took office, he has been using these yamen runners as slaves, and now he is even thinking about doing something to the young lady of the He family. He doesn't look at his own moral character. Isn't this a typical toad wanting to eat swan meat?

Where's the face?

He rolled his eyes and walked towards the He family's home under the cover of night.

Shang Ruoyi was just about to take a rest when she heard Yuntian's voice coming from the door.

"Princess, there is a yamen runner who wants to see you."

Yamen runner?

He Jingheng sat on the couch, a hint of anger flashing across his brows.

So late at night, do the officials have nothing to do?

Shang Ruoyi opened the door and asked, "Which yamen runner?"

How dare I look at Yuntian randomly? He lowered his head and said, "This day, Zhao Gang came with me. There is a yamen runner named Li Si."

"What's the matter?"

"He didn't say anything, he just begged to see you."

He Jingheng put down the book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let him go."

Yuntian knew that the prince was angry, and just as he was about to leave, he heard the prince's wife say, "Wait." She turned her head and looked at He Jingheng: "What if something happens?"

"What should we do? Why not just take down the city defense department? Why go through so much trouble?"

He Jingheng’s words made Yuntian’s eyes light up.

They hadn't been on the battlefield with real weapons for a long time, and the brothers were itching to do something.

"What are you going to do?" Shang Ruoyi glared at him and said, "Even if you go, you can't use the name of Dingguo Palace."

Wouldn't that really live up to his reputation?

Thinking of this, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She suddenly raised her head and looked at He Jingheng. She saw that his eyes were heavy and it was obvious that they were thinking the same thing.

The court sent Zhao Gang to the place of exile and to guard the border, perhaps intentionally, in order to provoke He Jingheng, force him to take action, and convict him of conspiracy. When the time comes, the army will arrive and directly kill him in this place of exile.

"Isn't Emperor Tianshun afraid that you will surrender to the enemy? This place is not far from the Western Regions."

He Jingheng smiled and said, "No."

"What?"

"The Prince Ding's palace will never surrender to the enemy and sell out the country." He sneered even more: "It is precisely because he knows this that he is so unscrupulous, but he is wrong about one thing."

"What?"

"The Ding Palace will not surrender to the enemy and sell out the country, but it has never said that it will not overthrow the court and establish a new one."

Shang Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat. It was just as she imagined.

Since the beginning of her exile, she knew that He Jingheng was playing a big game, and today he finally laid it out in the open.

He wanted to start a new one.

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I'll go see what the bailiff says."

She put on her robe and went to the room.

When the bailiff saw her coming, he bowed hurriedly.

"Li Si, I meet the Crown Princess."

"Where is the Crown Prince's Consort here? Don't talk nonsense." Shang Ruoyi sat in the throne and said so, but her behavior was indeed more noble than that of the Crown Prince's Consort: "Why are you here so late? Is there something important? Could it be that Lord Zhao has another order?"

"No, no, no, I came here a few days ago to surrender."
