C176 I Want to Avenge My Lord Zeng

Since Prime Minister Jiang had nothing better to do today, and did not want to visit other places, he decided to play chess with himself in his own courtyard.

Xiao Jingyue went and sat on the other side of the Go Board.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at his grandson-in-law for a while, then kept the chess pieces on the board as he asked: "Ah Ling didn't come back with you?"

In order to avoid the old man's worry, he couldn't speak the truth.

Xiao Jingyue said indifferently: "Ah Ling wants to stay in Yu Cheng for a few more days, he wants to find a new location to stay."

"Find a new location?" Prime Minister Jiang paused, his eyelids jumping.

As a grandfather, he naturally knew what good deeds his granddaughter had done in the past few years.

Even the matter of her partnering up with that brat Murong Villa and opening a noodle house could not be any clearer to him.

Looking for a new address, the branch that was most likely going to open some South Wind House no longer ran.

Thinking of this, the Prime Minister Jiang slightly changed his mind and suddenly became a little puzzled.

The meaning behind his grandson's words seemed to know that his own granddaughter had opened a nuptials, yet he didn't stop her?

Xiao Jingyue could faintly see what he was thinking in his heart, and said: "As long as she doesn't commit the seventh crime, I won't care what Ah Ling wants to do."

The meaning behind his words was that your granddaughter was so shocking that he didn't care how much she could harm others, he just needed to be loyal to her.

Mentioning the "Seven Deadly Sins", Prime Minister Jiang thought that out of the seven crimes, the first one to bear the brunt was "No Children".

The granddaughter of the neighboring Master He who had married into the husband's family for two months was pregnant, and his granddaughter had already been married into the General Mansion for more than half a year, so even now, her stomach still did not have any movements.

Although he could not force his children's issue, Prime Minister Jiang still couldn't help but be worried.

Xiao Jingyue didn't know what was going on in Prime Minister Jiang's mind. He took the chess box that was filled with Blackie and said calmly, "I just came out of the palace."

The first half of the sentence, without any end, Prime Minister Jiang was stunned, then he seemed to have understood something, and the expression he had when he looked at Xiao Jingyue suddenly changed.

The white game fell first.

The Prime Minister Jiang dropped a son, his turbid yet not sharp eyes staring at the chess board, and said: "Currently, His Majesty has been in power for more than twenty years, with powerful officials and even influential families. After a few changes, in the families that have been left behind, there are many clans that have flourished, but only my humble Jiang family has had the same honor every day for twenty years."

Saying this, the Prime Minister Jiang paused for a moment, his sharp eyes looking at the young man sitting opposite him, "Most people say that because His Majesty respected the Queen, and because he gave the title of Crown Prince to his eldest son instead of his eldest son, he felt some guilt towards the Queen and decided to put our Jiang family in his place. Does General Xiao also think so? "

Xiao Jingyue quietly placed Hei Zi down, and did not answer.

In truth, he was very clear about that answer in his heart.

In the royal family, the most dispirited feelings were those between husband and wife, father and son.

The biggest disease common to all emperors in dynasties was always' suspicion '.

The old age of the Prime Minister Jiang, the early death of Jiang Shimu, the Jiang family having no successors, and the empress's young direct son were the foundation of the trust the emperor had for the Jiang family.

The Prime Minister Jiang, who was loyal to the Emperor, would not presume to preach Emperor Ginseng's golden words to his prince.

To put it bluntly, he was just following orders.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at Xiao Jingyue. She knew he understood so she didn't say anymore.

There were some things that just needed to be known to each other.

Xiao Jingyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "To be honest. Your grandson-in-law has come today with a request. "

Prime Minister Jiang stopped in her tracks, her eyelids twitching almost imperceptibly.

When Prime Minister Mansion left, the sky had already darkened a little.

The Prime Minister Jiang personally saw Xiao Jingyue out of the house, and stood in front of the door looking down at the young man. He said warmly: "If possible, it is better to bring Ah Ling away as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingyue turned his head to face the gaze of the Prime Minister Jiang, and gently nodded.

The Xiao Er brought his horse over, but Xiao Jingyue did not receive the reins he handed over. After cupping his hands and bidding farewell to the Prime Minister Jiang, he walked on the road back to General Mansion.

It had stopped snowing today, and the streets were filled with people, bustling with noise and excitement.

Many people recognized Xiao Jingyue, but because they held reverence and admiration for this legendary figure, they did not dare to approach him, nor did they dare to cause a ruckus. Some of their companions dragged their companions along to watch the war god of the Qi Nation's battle from a close distance.

Xiao Jingyue's eyes were sharp and naturally he could hear what these people were saying about himself.

However, he did not listen carefully. In fact, he even felt that his ears were being disturbed. Thus, he turned his attention away and continued to think about his own matters.

But if he could ignore the people around him, the Xiao Er could not.

Xiao Er led his two horses and followed behind him, constantly paying attention to the surrounding movements. He was wary of the common folk who would rush up to disturb his master.

A child who was hit by someone fell beside Xiao Jingyue's feet.

"Master!"

Xiao Er was shocked, she was just about to go up and hug the child, when she saw Xiao Jingyue squatting down and personally holding the dirty child.

The streets were filled with all kinds of people.

Xiao Er's heart tightened. Even though he knew that it was only an ignorant child, he still could not help but become vigilant.

After all these years of fighting in the north and south with his master, hearing too much, it was not uncommon for adults to use their children to kill people.

There was a shadow at the bottom of his heart, which was why even though it was a peaceful time, even though it was under the feet of the Son of Heaven, Xiao Er was instinctively vigilant and couldn't help but reveal this shadow.

Xiao Jingyue chuckled to the child in his arms who seemed to have been scared stiff by him, and asked softly: "Where's your mother?"

The child did not answer, but turned his head to look into the crowd.

Xiao Jingyue followed his gaze and looked over, and just as he was about to ask, a woman suddenly rushed out from the crowd and knelt in front of Xiao Jingyue, kowtowing three times, and spoke while holding back her sobs: "This humble woman did not see the good child, so I let my child charge at the general. Please do not blame the general for being young."

Xiao Jingyue glanced at the woman, then lowered his head to ask the child in his embrace, "Is he your mother?"

The child nodded and shook his body, as though he wanted to get down from Xiao Jingyue's embrace.

After confirming his identity, Xiao Jingyue placed him down and let him return to his mother's side.

The woman didn't wait for the child to come over before she pounced on him. As she cried, she held the child in her arms and constantly repeated, "Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"

It was late in the morning, and the sky was getting darker. Xiao Jingyue did not want to stay any longer, so he turned and left.

Suddenly, someone screamed from the crowd.

At the same time, Xiao Er also shouted, "General!"

Xiao Jingyue turned his head, only to see a cold light sweeping past him.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the sinister and terrifying face of the woman who had been crying.

Even if something unexpected happened, for Xiao Jingyue who had experienced many battles and was in an even more dangerous situation, escaping was simply too easy.

Almost no one could see how he had attacked. By the time they had regained their senses, the dagger in the woman's hand had already fallen to the ground.

With a "clang," everyone was shocked back to normal.

In an instant, the entire street was thrown into chaos as screams, discussions, and insults rang out endlessly.

Without a choice, the Xiao Er called out the Dark Guard who was hidden in the darkness out. They had to maintain order and not let these people take the chance to run over to Xiao Jingyue's side.

Xiao Jingyue was indifferent to his surroundings, he coldly looked at the pale white lady and asked: Why are you doing this?

The woman seemed to know that she would not live, and pushed away the child in her arms, who was trembling in fear, and raised her head to glare at Xiao Jingyue. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred, and her tone became heavy, as she spoke one word at a time: "Lord Zeng has helped this humble woman, this humble woman will take revenge for him!"
