Qiao Zhongguo had some guesses about what happened in the account, and he couldn't help but frown.
Just now, Baili Chengyou said that he wanted to send Meng Guxue into the tent. Meng Guxue did not refuse, so he did not ask any more questions.
Now it seems that the two of them don't get along very well.
"Your Highness, although Princess Nanning is your imperial consort, she has not yet married you. The princess also represents the face of our Yong Dynasty, so please respect yourself."
Meng Guxue was sitting in the tent and could clearly hear Qiao Zhongguo speaking for her. The tears that she had been barely holding back suddenly rolled down.
Baili Chengyou is so domineering that she is afraid it will be difficult for her to escape from him in this life.
Baili Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Self-respect? Lord Qiao, what you said is a bit harsh. I love and care for my future imperial concubine so much, how could I offend her?"
"Not only that, after returning to Nanli Country, I will give the princess the most grand engagement ceremony, and then announce to the world that I will be with the imperial concubine for the rest of my life."
Baili Chengyou raised his voice slightly, as if he was speaking specifically to the people in the tent.
A couple for a lifetime?
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he was slightly surprised.
"By the way, Master Qiao, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Baili Chengyou quickly returned to his usual cheerful self and asked with a smile.
In today's battle of Baopilingling, although he failed to capture Shen Yuanbai and failed to eliminate the Qiao family, it doesn't matter now.
Shen Yuanbai and the Qiao family are already at war to the death, and there will surely be chaos within the Yong Dynasty. He just needs to watch the show quietly.
Obviously, the current Qiao family is much more powerful than the Qiao family in his dreams!
What he cares more about now is Meng Guxue, who had the same dream as him!
The same experience made them seem as if they were living another life together, hiding it from everyone.
He now wished he could bring Meng Guxue back to the Prince's Palace immediately so that he could have a good exchange of information with her!
Qiao Zhongguo was secretly worried about Meng Guxue's future, but now was not the time to talk about it.
When Qiao Zhongguo mentioned the matter of suppressing bandits, Baili Chengyou agreed without hesitation.
"Even if Lord Qiao didn't mention it, I am still prepared to do this. Let your country's left deputy general and my A-Tu lead the people to suppress it!"
Qiao Zhongguo nodded immediately and asked someone to pass the message to Deputy General Zuo, while he and Baili Chengyou went to see the seriously injured Second Prince.
Entering the tent, the second prince was lying on the couch with a pale face and a thick silk cloth wrapped around his shoulders.
The military doctor was always by the side, carefully decocting the medicine.
When the second prince heard the footsteps, he slowly turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on Qiao Zhongguo.
He seemed to have not let it go yet, and his eyes vaguely passed over Qiao Zhongguo's heart.
Qiao Zhongguo pretended to be ignorant, walked to the bed with a face full of "shame and worry", and knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness, it is because I failed to protect you properly that you have suffered so much. I am guilty!"
The second prince moved his lips, and after a long while he said in a hoarse voice: "It happened suddenly, it's not Lord Qiao's fault, get up."
Qiao Zhongguo shook his head and said excitedly, "No! Your Highness, I will write a letter to His Majesty, explaining everything that happened today, and ask Your Majesty to punish me, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
"Your Highness, you must take care of yourself. I wish that the hateful thief would have sores on his head and pus on his feet, and die a miserable death!"
Baili Chengyou: Poof——
Did people in the Yong Dynasty usually curse others in such a sarcastic tone in front of others?
Tsk tsk, look at Shen Yuanbai's face, it turned even paler.
Qiao Zhongguo cursed a lot until he saw that the Second Prince's face was pale, then he stood up with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, I will not disturb your rest. I will take care of everything else. Your Highness, please do not worry."
The military doctor at the side: "......"
Go away! Go away! Who is so good to visit the injured and be so nagging...
Shen Yuanbai closed his eyes and nodded, as if he was already very weak.
However, the moment Qiao Zhongguo lifted the curtain and walked out, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a murderous intent so strong that it could not be dissolved!
After Qiao Zhongguo said goodbye to Baili Chengyou and entered his tent, Qiao Diyi was already waiting there.
It was already daybreak. The father and son had not slept all night and had just gone through a fierce battle, but they were in very good spirits.
"father!"
Qiao Diyi immediately stepped forward.
Qiao Zhongguo reached out and patted Qiao Diyi on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Good boy, did it work?"
Qiao Diyi nodded, carefully took out the bottle from his arms, and said boastfully:
"Dad, there are still many!"
Qiao Zhongguo immediately chuckled.
"Come on, come on! When I was almost shot by an arrow just now, I was afraid that you would lose your patience and run away. Good boy, you really have grown up!"
When Qiao Zhongguo said this, his heart was filled with relief.
He had said it a long time ago that the second child is a rough diamond and will be very powerful in the future!
"You have made great contributions, I will definitely praise you in front of Lao Da when I return!"
Qiao Diyi scratched his head naively when he heard this, "Dad, I don't dare to take the credit for this. If you want to talk about the biggest contributor, I'm afraid he's still sleeping in bed right now!"
Qiao Zhongguo was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then his heart was filled with warmth.
Yes, the biggest contributor is his baby Jiaojiao!
If it weren't for Jiaojiao's talisman and pill, the situation would have been extremely passive, and it would have been unknown whether he could survive the arrow.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo felt again how eager he was to go home. He wondered whether his daughter Jiaojiao was sleeping peacefully at this moment.
"Second brother, after the accident last night, I'm afraid there will be changes in this trip to Nanli."
"Besides, the Second Prince has been seriously injured and should not endure the pain of traveling any further. Perhaps the day for us to return to the capital is not far away..."
At this point, Qiao Zhongguo could not help but sigh:
"The Second Prince is a man of courage. I took a look at the wound earlier. It is deep and wide. If His Majesty saw it, I'm afraid he would be extremely distressed."
"Maybe it's because he has to be on guard against people for a thousand days because he has been hurting people for a thousand days. He didn't dare to faint despite the severe pain. Fortunately, you took his blood in advance, otherwise we really wouldn't have a chance now!"
As Qiao Zhongguo spoke, he paced back and forth.
He needs to think carefully to see if there is anything he has missed!
At this moment, Qiao Liu and Qiao Shiyi, who were guarding outside the tent, suddenly spoke up:
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Diyi looked at each other, then they opened the curtain and walked out, just in time to see Meng Guxue and Xiaotao coming over.
Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly saluted and Meng Guxue immediately reached out to help him.
"Master Qiao, you don't have to do this."
Qiao Zhongguo stood up and saw Meng Guxue with a pale face. She said firmly:
"Master Qiao, can you please come into the tent and have a chat?"
Qiao Zhongguo nodded, asked Qiao Diyi to wait outside the tent, and invited Meng Guxue in.
As soon as Meng Guxue entered the tent, he turned around and said in a deep voice:
"Master Qiao, after what happened yesterday, the Second Prince is seriously injured. I'm afraid you may not be able to personally send me to Nanli Country."
"But it doesn't matter. The crisis on the road has been resolved. You have fulfilled your promise to me."
Having said this, Meng Guxue paused for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Master Qiao, I used to be selfish and ignorant, but now I know your loyalty and courage. Thank you for saving my life and Xiao Tao's life in times of crisis."
"So I decided to tell you all the secrets I know today!"
