Chapter 118

Not only was Xiao Chuchu stunned, but even Cheng Qian didn't expect it.

[What the hell, my brother cut off the Emperor Dad's beard.]

[So, this task has a reward, but the reward goes to my brother.]

Cheng Qian turned red upon hearing this.

[In addition to Jiu Xiao with 99 combat power, there are 107 other elite characters waiting to be collected.]

Xiao Chuchu clenched her fists excitedly, [Go for it, my brother!]

Cheng Qian took a breath, the road ahead was long, but as long as he didn't give up, there was hope.

He couldn't help but look at Jiu Xiao kneeling before him.

"Little Jiu, get up."

"From now on in the study room, you'll join us in studying."

Xiao Luzi: "!"

He felt a sense of crisis, what was going on?

"I'll practice martial arts at the training ground twice a day, and if you want to study more, you can come along."

Xiao Luzi howled warily, "Prince, you have me and that's enough!"

Jiu Xiao glanced at his incompetent body and mind.

Xiao Luzi felt a chill down his spine, "Huh? Why is it a bit cold today?"

Cheng Qian: "...Alright, Xiao Luzi, Jiu Xiao is new here, you need to take care of him. If you both perform well, I'll remember it."

"..." Xiao Luzi was speechless.

What's this, he's no longer Prince Cheng Qian's most beloved Xiao Luzi!

The sense of crisis immediately surrounded him.

Cheng Qian also glanced at Jiu Xiao, "You two get along well, don't argue, and don't... fight."

[Hahaha, Xiao Luzi has a combat power of 49, hahaha.]

[He can't fight at all~ Jiu Xiao could twist his head off, I'm dying of laughter.]

"The new piglets are really hardy, no wonder they're raised by the Emperor's former prime minister tutor."

On the morning of the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yunzhou secretly wandered outside the palace walls to eavesdrop on people praising him.

At the palace banquet that night, he couldn't help but drink a few more cups, his face flushed red, "Gentlemen, in the coming year, I'll work together with you all to create a prosperous and flourishing era, and bring more peace and joy to the people!"

The civil and military officials all stood up and toasted him.

Xiao Yunzhou drank heartily, but for a moment his eyes caught sight of the Empress Dowager closest to the imperial throne.

His heart skipped a beat, although the reformation was complete, but seeing the Empress Dowager indeed closest to him, the Emperor, on the Lantern Festival palace banquet, everything was as his daughter had said, and he still couldn't help but twitch his eyelid.

Then, turning his head, Xiao Yunzhou looked towards the princes' seats and saw a thin figure standing between the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince.

"!"

Xiao Yunzhou's wine cup shook.

[Oh my god, everything is following the novel's plot.]

Xiao Chuchu was also observing the scene from her nursemaid's embrace.

[But now it has all changed, the assassin Jiu Xiao has become a member of Jing Country's elite collection roster.]

Xiao Yunzhou: "!"

Elite collection roster?

This was the first time he had heard of this.

[There will be no more assassination attempts on the Lantern Festival.]

[Hehe,] Xiao Chuchu was truly happy, [tough luck for the Elder of Earth and Moon Sect waiting for news at the teahouse on the second floor of the west gate of the palace today.]

Xiao Yunzhou stared wide-eyed.

[Woo, it's a pity I can't speak, otherwise I would have told the Emperor Dad or my brother.]

Xiao Yunzhou slammed down his wine cup abruptly.

He beckoned to the Minister of War.

"On this Lantern Festival, I must also protect the peace and joy of the people."

"Dispatch patrols, especially..."

Xiao Yunzhou lowered his voice, and even Xiao Chuchu could not make out the rest of his words.
