Chapter 58 Returning Home Early
After returning to the general's mansion, Nie Chubai immediately ordered a table full of Wen Yingxue's favorite dishes.
Wen Yingxue didn't care, but kept staring at Nie Chubai.
"What's wrong?" Nie Chubai was a little confused by Wen Yingxue's stare and touched his face.
Wen Yingxue suddenly cupped Nie Chubai's face with both hands and said, "Your face is the source of trouble! Why do you look so pretty? You attract bees and butterflies all the time."
Nie Chubai was a little amused and said, "You are really wronging me. You are the only one in my heart."
"Hmph! Tell me, how many times has the Seventh Princess caused trouble for me, openly or secretly? It's all because of you."
Nie Chubai thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you should thank the Seventh Princess."
Wen Yingxue's eyes widened. "I thank her? Are you mistaken? She treated me like that, and you still want me to thank her? I'll give you another chance to say it again."
Nie Chubai looked at the irritated Wen Yingxue and quickly smoothed her over. He said, "The Seventh Princess was very close to asking the Emperor to decree that I become his consort. At that time, I was thinking of finding a woman to ask for an imperial decree to marry her first to deal with it. It just so happened that you bumped into me, so I chose you.
But luckily it’s you.”
Wen Yingxue thought about it and felt that if that was the case, she really should thank the Seventh Princess.
"Okay. Since you say so, I'll let you go."
"Master, something bad has happened." Ji Yan and Wu Nan suddenly rushed in and reported.
Seeing the blood on the two men, Nie Chubai's face changed, frowned, and stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Ji Yan said, "The master and his wife got married yesterday, and the guards at the Criminal Court were a little lax, so someone sneaked in.
This morning, the general and his wife entered the palace. Feng Qi and Lei Liu noticed something was amiss, but it was too late. The spies in the Criminal Court had been kidnapped."
Wu Nan said: "After receiving the news, Ji Yan and I immediately led people to chase them, but they had already made arrangements, and we almost couldn't get back."
Wen Yingxue looked at the injuries on the two men and asked Ai Ye to find Guan Ziming.
Nie Chubai's face was as gloomy as water, and he paced back and forth in the room.
After a while, a secret guard rushed in again: "Master, Shen Biqian has been kidnapped."
Wen Yingxue frowned. Now the map of the Eagle King's Tomb was in their hands. Apart from this map, the only person in the world who knew the whereabouts of the Eagle King's Tomb was Chen Biqian.
Nie Chubai clenched his fists. He had previously asked An Wenyuan to redeem Chen Biqian and placed her in a secret manor, but he didn't expect that she would still be found.
"Can you tell which group they are?"
The secret guard said, "There are only two people, a man and a woman. The man's martial arts skills are not weak, but the woman's moves are very strange and vicious."
Nie Chubai and Wen Yingxue looked at each other. Needless to say, it must be Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan.
"I understand. You all can go down."
After everyone left, only Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai were left in the room.
Wen Yingxue said, "Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan should have already left for the northwest."
Is it really the protagonist's halo? Even if they didn't get the map of the Eagle King's Tomb, they still found someone who could guide them to the Eagle King's Tomb.
Thinking of this, Wen Yingxue suddenly felt a little nervous and looked at Nie Chubai beside her.
If he can't fight against the protagonist's halo, will Nie Chubai still have the same ending as before?
"Nie Chubai, don't wait any longer. Let's leave tomorrow. Let's try to find the Eagle King's Tomb before them."
Nie Chubai raised his head, frowned, and asked, "Are you going too? I don't know when you'll be back, and it's definitely dangerous ahead. You might as well stay home."
Wen Yingxue shook her head firmly and said seriously, "I have to go, and I also want to get something from the Eagle King's tomb. It's very important to me."
"Xue'er, you seem to know a lot of things in advance. What's going on?" Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue and asked.
Wen Yingxue pursed her lips, then looked at Nie Chubai and said, "I don't want to lie to you, but I haven't figured out how to tell you yet. After I go to the Eagle King's Tomb and get that thing, I will tell you everything."
Nie Chubai nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Nie Chubai agreeing readily and not forcing her, Wen Yingxue relaxed a little.
I must get that thing, I must!
"Then let's go back to Wen Mansion tomorrow, and then go directly out of the city to the northwest." Nie Chubai said.
"Why do you want to go back to the Wen Mansion first?"
Nie Chubai sighed, pinched Wen Yingxue's nose, and said, "Since we can't wait three days, we can go tomorrow. Don't you want to talk to Auntie again?"
Wen Yingxue finally reacted, nodded happily, and ran away.
"Ai Ye! We are going back to the Wen Mansion tomorrow. Come and help me find some good things. I want to give them to my aunt."
Ai Ye walked in dumbfounded, glanced at Nie Chubai, then stealthily walked over to Wen Yingxue and asked, "Miss, why are you going back to the Wen Mansion tomorrow? Did you make the general angry?"
"No, I just want to walk around and have a look. I want Nie Chubai to take me out to play, so I'm thinking of going back to the Wen Mansion tomorrow so I can go out and play!"
Wen Yingxue added, "When you return to the Wen Mansion tomorrow, don't follow me. Help me take care of my aunt. Although my aunt has secret guards around her, I'm still worried."
Although Ai Ye felt a little disappointed that Wen Yingxue went out to play without her, she was still happy to take care of Aunt Lian.
"good."
After watching the two of them pack up, Nie Chubai stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace to tell the emperor first, and then I'll go to the Eighth Prince's residence."
"Okay, go ahead." Wen Yingxue nodded, then slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, by the way, how could I have forgotten something so important? Fifth sister is getting married soon, and I need to find a few more good things to give her."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Ai Ye to the warehouse of the general's mansion to pick things out.
"Why did you come back today?" Wen Yuyan looked at Wen Yingxue and asked puzzledly.
Wen Yingxue said, "I'm here to add to your makeup. I'm going out to play and I don't know when I'll be back, so I won't be attending your wedding."
Wen Yuyan said, "My wedding is tomorrow, and you can't wait?"
Wen Yingxue just smiled and said, "Don't ask, the Eighth Prince knows."
Wen Yuyan frowned, then quickly relaxed and skipped the topic.
"Where's the makeup for me?"
Wen Yingxue raised an eyebrow and brought up a heavy wooden box: "Here, open it and take a look."
"Wow! These gems are so beautiful." Wen Yuyan said.
"Of course not, I picked it out specially. Nie Chubai said that it was a reward from the emperor when he was fighting in the war." Wen Yingxue boasted proudly.
Wen Yuyan put the wooden box away and said, "For the sake of these gems, I will forgive you for not coming to my wedding. When are you leaving?"
"We'll be leaving soon."
"Then don't waste your time. Go and see Aunt Lian. I'll ask Aunt Yang to take good care of her."
Wen Yingxue smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
