It was actually Xiao Shunyang.
It seemed that Emperor Jing Xuan was really guarding against them. He was even more worried about letting them go to the southern border alone than picking herbs at the border.
That was true. It was her and King Liang who went to the border. Wei Ting had been issued a military order to kill Helian Ye. At that time, Emperor Jing Xuan did not think that such an arrangement could pose any threat.
Who would have thought that she would recruit troops at the border and that Wei Ting would also go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions? Even Qin Canglan, who was sent to act as the facade, was reinstated as a marshal under the approval of King Liang.
Emperor Jing Xuan began to feel uneasy.
“Shall we go secretly or openly?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting said, “It’s neither sneaky nor ostentatious. It would not be related to the Imperial Court. It’s only going to the southern border in the name of traveling.”
The southern border did not have many restrictions on outsiders. When they reached the border, they would go to the government office to provide a deposit and fill in a few official documents. They could enter by pressing their fingerprints.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “When are we leaving?” Wei Ting said, “Tomorrow morning.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “So rushed?”
Wei Ting said calmly, “The person in the throne room is afraid that something will happen if we delay and wants to know my father’s whereabouts as soon as possible. ”
Su Xiaoxiao took another bite of the silver ear soup. “I wonder what he’s up to.”
Wei Ting paused and said, “Sleep first after eating. I’ll go see Dad, Grandaunt, and the others.”
He had met the Old Marquis and Su Yuan today, but had yet to greet Su Cheng, Matriarch Su, and Madam Tao.
Actually, it was understandable if he did not go. Her family would not blame Wei Ting, but Wei Ting insisted on going. In a way, it meant that he valued her family.
“I can’t sleep anymore. I’ll go with you.” Coincidentally, she wanted to look for
Su Xuan.
The two of them went to the Protectorate.
Su Ergou was asleep, but Su Cheng was still practicing martial arts.
In the past, he was in a daze in the countryside. After coming to the capital, Su Cheng felt the burden on his shoulders especially after his daughter got married.
He wanted to carry the Protector Duke’s Estate and not let his father and daughter suffer.
“Dad.”
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao walked over.
Su Cheng put away the red tassel spear and looked at the two of them in surprise. “Why are you here in the middle of the night?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “We’re here to see Dad.”
Su Cheng said reproachfully, “Come tomorrow morning. It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping? My son-in-law is still injured!”
Although he said that, he could not hide his joy at seeing his daughter and son-in-law.
Wei Ting said warmlv, “I’m fine. We’re here to bid farewell to Dad
Su Cheng’s expression froze. “You’re leaving again?”
Wei Ting told him about his trip to the southern border.
Su Cheng had heard his colleague mention the morning court assembly during the day. He had guessed that they would go to the southern border, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
“Well…” He had a thousand words in his heart, but he suddenly could not say a word.
“Dad, I’ll get it.” Wei Ting took the heavy red tassel spear for him and placed it on the weapons rack at the side.
The three of them sat around the stone table.
Su Cheng said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao gently tugged at his sleeve. “Dad.”
Su Cheng said sadly, “It’s all Dad’s fault. In the early years… if Dad had been more diligent… and not neglected my martial arts… Perhaps I could be of some use now…”
Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Dad, it’s not easy for you to raise Ergou and me. Besides, you didn’t waste your martial arts. I know that you often secretly practice martial arts in the forest behind our house. You would break big stones on your chest and cut bricks with your bare hands.”
Su Cheng choked.
Ah, how embarrassing.
To Su Xiaoxiao, her father was the best father in the world. His hand was crippled, but he did not give up on his martial arts. Without a master, he relied on himself to secretly learn. After coming to the capital, he began to practice martial arts with his father and uncle.
It was already very impressive to have his current achievements.
The two of them chatted with Su Cheng for a while.
Since Su Cheng was so worried about her, Su Xiaoxiao decided to tell him about her pregnancy when she came back. This was to prevent him from becoming more worried.
The two of them went to see the sleeping Su Ergou again. Wei Ting left a letter.
Then, the two of them went to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence.
After Matriarch Su rested, and Su Yuan, Madam Tao, and his cousins had also gone to sleep, the Old Marquis called Wei Ting to the study, and Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Xuan’s courtyard.
“Fourth Cousin, are you asleep?”
“Come in.”
Su Xuan said.
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and entered. Su Xuan lit the oil lamp.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at his tidied clothes and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not asleep?”
Sitting in the house in the dark, what fetish did he have?
The two of them sat down at the table.
Su Xuan poured Su Xiaoxiao a glass of warm water. “It’s so late. Why are you looking for me?”
Su Xiaoxiao took it and took a sip. “The southern border is here to propose marriage to the Great Zhou. They want to marry a princess of the Great Zhou. I wonder if you’ve heard of this?”
Su Xuan said, “I heard Dad mention it at dinner.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him deeply. “Why do you think it was such a coincidence that the storyteller hit the nail on the head?”
Su Xuan smiled quietly. “Yes, what a coincidence.”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t see any flaws. Trying to find flaws with the head of the secret service was similar to finding water in a pot of oil.
Su Xiaoxiao dispelled the thought of testing him and said bluntly, “I’m going to the southern border. Before I leave, I want to ask Fourth Cousin for a favor.”
leu me. “Protect someone for me.” Who?”
“Princess Hui An.”
Su Xuan also poured himself a glass of warm water and took a sip. He said, “I’m just a scholar. How can I have the ability to protect the princess of the royal family? I’m afraid I can’t even defeat a guard beside her.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, “Fourth Cousin only needs to say yes or
Su Xuan said calmly, ‘What if I don’t agree?”
Su Xiaoxiao shouted at the door, “Granduncle! Fourth Cousin skipped class!”
Su Xuan covered her mouth with his hand and closed his eyes. “Stop shouting.
I’ll agree.”
Su Xiaoxiao took his hand off and smiled. “You can’t let her lose a strand of hair.”
Su Xuan held his forehead helplessly. “Got it.”
Su Xiaoxiao valiantly left Su Xuan’s courtyard.
Suddenly, a casual voice came from above. “If you want someone to protect your friend, why didn’t you look for me?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Su Li lying on a tree branch, his hands crossed behind his head, his legs crossed, and a foxtail in his mouth.
So this guy had been eavesdropping. The distance from here to the courtyard was not short. His hearing was not bad.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Are you very powerful?”
Su Li snorted. “Among the brothers in the family, other than my eldest brother, my martial arts are the best! Of all the people you can look for, you have to look for Fourth Brother. He doesn’t know martial arts at all!”
However, that guy had money and could spend money to hire experts. Thinking of this, Su Li felt a little resentful.
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Why doesn’t Fourth Cousin practice martial arts?”
Su Li said, “He couldn’t learn it. When he was five years old, he fell seriously ill and had a high fever for three days and three nights. When he woke up, his foundation was damaged and he couldn’t practice martial arts anymore. Even if he could barely learn some moves, he couldn’t cultivate a trace of internal strength. In order to treat him, the family visited famous doctors and even sent him to our maternal grandfather’s house in the south for a few years, but he barely survived.”
Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “I see.”
Su Li turned around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with one hand. “Now you understand why my fourth brother is focused on his studies. He only has the path of a civil servant ahead of him.”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. It was a pity that the head of the secret service didn’t know martial arts.
Su Li raised her eyebrows and said, “So do you want to consider letting me protect your friend? We’re siblings, so I’ll charge you a thousand taels!” The moon was dark and windy.
Su Xuan put on his cloak, turned off the lights, and left the house.
He came to the small pond at the back of the Marquis’ Mansion.
The surface of the pond was covered in thick ice, reflecting a cold light under the moonlight.
Suddenly, a pigeon landed on his arm.
He took off the note and let the pigeon fly.
After reading the contents of the note, a cold glint suddenly flashed across his quiet and gentle eyes. “The southern border!” He waved his hand and slapped out.
The night was like water and silent.
He turned and disappeared into the night, his face expressionless.
Behind him, a crack appeared in the ice of the pond.
Boom! Boom! Right on the heels of that, the thick ice kept cracking, and cracks snaked across the entire ice surface.
Finally, with a bang, the entire ice exploded.. The water in the pond rushed into the sky and rushed out of the waterfall-like water curtain…
