Qiao Zhongguo walked in holding Qiao Jiaojiao. His right forearm was cut by the knife and half of his sleeve was stained red with blood.

At this time, there was a strip of cloth wrapped roughly on his sleeve. It must be that after he was rescued, he tore off a piece of the hem and bandaged it hastily.

At this moment, he had a sullen face, looking intimidating without even getting angry, while Jiaojiao in his arms had red eyes and looked as if she was frightened.

Behind Qiao Zhongguo, Qiao Tianjing was supporting Qiao Bo, who had been shot in the shoulder, and his face also looked very ugly.

Upon seeing this, the King stepped forward himself. Before he could speak, Qiao Zhongguo said in a deep voice:

"My Lord, an envoy from another country was attacked in the palace and nearly died. This is such an absurd thing that I have never heard of before!"

"That person keeps saying that he is following the orders of the king and the eldest prince to kill us all!"

"I have come all the way here to celebrate Christmas for Your Majesty. Now that this has happened, if Your Majesty cannot give me an explanation, I will return home tomorrow and report the matter to Your Majesty truthfully!"

Today, the Nanli royal family has lost their composure to such an extent. Qiao Zhongguo represents the face of the Yong Dynasty and is reasonable. Even in front of the King of Nanli, he can stand up straight and speak loudly!

When the king saw how powerful Qiao Zhongguo was, his expression stiffened slightly, but soon softened again.

"Master Qiao is right. Nanli was indeed at fault for what happened today. Sun Bing! Why don't you tell Envoy Qiao in detail what you just discovered!"

Sun Bing inherited the king's anger and did not dare to be careless. He repeated what he had just said and specifically pointed out that the captain Jiang Min was suspected to be a northerner.

At this time, everyone remembered that the Northern Kingdom’s envoy, Che Taishi, was also present.

The king looked behind Qiao Zhongguo and saw that Master Che was supported by an imperial guard. He looked very ugly, as if he was frightened. His legs were weak and he could not stand steadily.

When he heard that Jiang Min might be a northerner, Master Che's eyes immediately widened with disbelief on his face. He said, "It has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about it."

The king cursed in his heart, "This old fox!"

Sun Bing had just said that it was "suspected". As the ruler of a country, it was absolutely impossible for him to question the envoy of the Northern Kingdom just because of a suspicion.

He could only look at Qiao Zhongguo and said in a gentle voice: "Master Qiao, this is still a family shame. My eldest son was not ambitious enough and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. This is how he almost made a big mistake."

"After tonight, I will give an explanation to Lord Qiao, your country, and the frightened Grand Tutor Che no matter what."

The eldest prince was already exhausted on the ground, and when he heard the king say this in front of foreign envoys, all his strength was instantly drained away.

This matter was exposed in the Three Kingdoms, and there was no chance for him to turn things around...

Yinzhu, Shen Yuanbai, they...they schemed against him so badly!

When Qiao Tianjing saw this, he patted Qiao Bo on the back in relief, knowing that the Qiao family's mission today was completely completed.

Forcing the king to promise to hold the court accountable is to completely “kill” the eldest prince!

The palace road was attacked just now and the situation was indeed dangerous. Fortunately, the people arranged by Baili Chengyou left quickly and the reinforcements arrived quickly.

The reason why Dad got injured was because Shen Yuanbai's men were really like crazy, attacking my little sister desperately.

And Uncle Job... Uncle Job was really smart and courageous. Seeing that he and his father were calm and composed, he knew that this attack was within their expectations. In order to make the situation more realistic, he immediately avoided the vital points and took the arrow.

Qiao Bo felt Qiao Tianjing patting him on the back, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Old Joe is thick-skinned and tough, so what does it matter if he gets hurt? As long as he can help the general and the young master succeed, Old Joe is still as powerful as ever!

Qiao Bo: (? ??灬??)?

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw that her father and Uncle Qiao were injured, she was almost heartbroken, and her tears were real.

[There is still a half-broken arrow stuck in Qiao Bo's shoulder. It is best to let Qiao Bo return to the villa as soon as possible.]

[Imperial Doctor Zou is probably already in bed, we have to dig him out! ]

In the bed of the villa, Doctor Zou, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly shuddered for no apparent reason.

Doctor Zou: (ー灬ー?)

What? Why do I feel like I'm coming back to life?

Qiao Zhongguo nodded repeatedly after hearing this. They had done everything they promised to Baili Chengyou today, and it was time for them to retire.

"My Lord, we are waiting——"

Qiao Zhongguo had just opened his mouth when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming closer and closer in the distance.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Eunuch Guan walking quickly on the palace road in a state of disrespect,

When the king saw this scene from afar, his expression became extremely ugly.

Qiao Zhongguo immediately shut up, it seemed like there was something else going on.

Eunuch Guan rushed to the imperial study room, panting, and knelt down in front of the king, shouting:

"My Lord, when I arrived at the treasury, the door was wide open and there were corpses all around. I... I hurried in and saw nothing... nothing was missing, except for that box -"

"My Lord, the box is missing!"

Eunuch Guan's voice trembled. He knew the power of the poisonous insect. Even his master almost fell into it.

But this... Only the master and he know about the existence of this defective Gu, and he has never told it to anyone else!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall changed color, and Qiao Jiaojiao became extremely anxious.

[What box? What's in the box? It disappeared? Could it be that Shen Yuanbai succeeded? This shouldn't be the case! Since Baili Chengyou is in control of the overall situation, he should be able to take care of everything! ]

Qiao Zhongguo hesitated for a moment, pretending to be "not curious", and just asked with concern:

"My Lord, has your country's treasure been stolen? Could this thief be the same one who attacked us?"

The king's brows were extremely gloomy. He turned his head to look at the eldest prince on the ground, and he was really gritting his teeth!

"It's the remnant of the soul-snatching and god-catching Gu left over from that time."

As soon as the king said this, the expressions of the Qiao family changed drastically. Even Master Che behind them suddenly raised his head. It was obvious that he was truly unaware of the situation this time.

Qiao Tianjing frowned and immediately went to see Baili Chengyou.

Baili Chengyou seemed to have been waiting for Qiao Tianjing for a long time. When he saw Qiao Tianjing looking at him, he nodded calmly.

Qiao Tianjing suddenly felt relieved when he saw this.

We already have all the advantages this time. If we let Shen Yuanbai succeed, it would be a huge mistake.

Qiao Jiaojiao saw the interaction between her elder brother and Baili Chengyou and was truly relieved.

[Oh my god, I was shocked! ]

After calming down, Jiaojiao also reacted.

[So, this is also Baili Chengyou's plan? The existence of this sub-Gu must be a secret. Shen Yuanbai knows about it, so could it be that Baili Chengyou deliberately leaked it to him? ]

Thinking of this, Jiaojiao slowly turned her head and glanced calmly at Che Taishi, who had not yet concealed his shocked expression, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

[What a clever way to sow discord! This is really going to be interesting! ]
