Chapter 343: What bad intentions could a tiger have?
"How dare you ask?" Zheng Qi said angrily, "We haven't been back for so many days, and you didn't even ask or look for us?"
"How would I know what you did? You didn't leave a single word. I wanted to contact you, but who should I tell?"
Zheng Qi waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Don't try to quibble, you little brat. When we return to the capital, I will tell you about your great achievements in front of your father, Marquis Jian'an."
At this moment, a subordinate came to report: "Sir, Lord Xu sent by the emperor has arrived."
Zheng Qi glared at Xu Zimo and walked straight out.
Xu Yuan is an extremely upright person and has always looked down upon sinister villains like Zheng Qi.
Therefore, when Zheng Qi greeted him outside the inn, he just nodded lightly and turned to walk in front of Xu Zimo.
"What have you been doing these days?"
"Uncle." Xu Zimo was as humble now as he was arrogant in front of Zheng Qi before.
"Uncle, how about we go in first?"
Xu Yuan glared at him and walked straight into the inn.
Zheng Qi was left there by him, and his face turned purple.
This Zheng Yuan actually dared to disrespect him! He embarrassed him in front of so many people. He would definitely take revenge.
"I heard that you haven't even met He Jingheng yet." Xu Yuan sat on the chair and said calmly, "Time is running out, I'll go see him directly today!"
How could Xu Zimo dare to say no? He could only nod in agreement.
Zheng Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this.
How could it be so easy to enter the village? He went there several times, but was blocked by the tiger. Why did the tiger disappear when Xu Yuan came?
When they arrived at the village entrance, the tiger was still there.
Zheng Qi looked at him gloatingly: "Master Xu, would you like to try walking for a while?"
Xu Zimo couldn't help feeling guilty when looking at the two tigers. Sure enough, when the two tigers saw Zheng Qi and Xu Zimo, they stood up from the ground, revealing their sharp fangs, with cruelty in their eyes.
Zheng Qi stepped back and swallowed, "Well, I'd better not go over there."
Xu Yuan muttered to himself and stepped forward hesitantly. When the two tigers saw him, their originally ferocious looks retracted. Under the horrified gaze of everyone, they sniffed him and their ferocious looks instantly disappeared.
I saw them walk back a few steps and then lie back down in their own positions.
Everyone was surprised. What was going on?
Those two tigers were about to attack and hurt people, so why did they behave so obediently when they saw Lord Xu?
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered. It seemed that it smelled the scent he had applied on his body.
When they were halfway through the journey that day, a guard beside He Jingheng came up to him and gave him a porcelain bottle. The guard said that he could enter the village if he poured the potion in the bottle on his body.
At first he felt a little confused, but now he understood that the potion was for the tiger at the door to smell.
Zheng Qi's face turned pale. Are these two tigers bullying people? Why would he be bitten when he came?
"Let's go!" Xu Yuan looked at Zheng Qi: "Master Zheng, let's go together!" He pointed at the tigers on both sides: "How can it be as difficult to enter as Master Zheng said? This is the first time I come here and the first time I see these tigers. They are not as violent as you said."
Zheng Qi's face trembled, and under the protection of the officials, he slowly passed through the village entrance. One of the tigers looked at Zheng Qi and suddenly growled, which scared Zheng Qi to death.
"Roar!"
For some reason, people could see a look of gloating on its face.
How could a tiger have such evil thoughts?
Xu Zimo was walking at the end. When it was his turn to pass, the two tigers stood up instantly and pounced on him without saying a word.
"Here we go again!" He quickly used his Qing Kung Fu to dodge everywhere. He didn't want to be as embarrassed as last time.
At this moment, a clear sound was heard, like a bird's cry. The two tigers stopped moving instantly, glared at Xu Zimo, and returned to their positions and lay down.
Xu Zimo panted, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan glanced at him and walked straight inside.
Walking inside from the village entrance, they were stunned when they saw the scene of Shiya Village. Is this still the barren land it once was?
The people's miserable lives and starving people everywhere that we thought existed did not exist at all.
It was time to cook dinner. Steam was coming out of every household's chimney. You could smell the aroma of rice, and even some chimneys smelled like meat.
Zheng Qi had never been to the village before, and had no idea what it would be like. He murmured, "Is this Shiya Village? The place of exile?"
Xu Yuan's eyes deepened slightly. This place was actually better than the villages around the capital.
Having passed by so many places along the way, this place turns out to be the most peaceful and tranquil.
After walking for a while, a building that was no less magnificent than a royal palace appeared before everyone.
When they walked to the main gate, the two big characters "He Mansion" appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, Yunqi stepped forward and said, "Master Xu, our master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Yuan nodded: "Lead the way."
Just as everyone was about to follow him in, they heard Yunqi whisper, "My master is not feeling well today and will not see any outside visitors. Please wait in the side hall."
"A side hall? How dare they ask me to go to a side hall?" Zheng Qi said angrily, "I am a second-rank minister of the imperial court. How dare He Jingheng ask me to go to a side hall?"
As soon as the words fell, a clear female voice came out: "Xiaobai, take Master Zheng to the side hall and wait."
"Hmph! No matter who comes, no one can let me go..." Before he finished his words, a huge white figure appeared in front of him.
Xiaobai drooped his tiger face and looked at him fiercely.
Why is there a white tiger here?
Zheng Qi swallowed his saliva and hid behind the guards. He looked at Yun Qi tremblingly: "Where is the film parked? Why don't you lead me over there quickly?"
Yunqi suppressed a smile and said, "Master Zheng, please."
Zheng Qi collapsed to the ground before he could even move a step, and was finally carried inside by several guards.
Xu Yuan came to the main hall and looked at the familiar display. He couldn't help but smile: "This old minister greets the prince."
He Jingheng stood up and returned the greeting: "Master Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Yuan's eyes fell on the woman next to him.
"Is this the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"Junior greets Master Xu."
"I never thought that old man Shangnian could give birth to a daughter like you." Xu Yuan recognized Shang Ruoyi as the one who had just commanded the white tiger. He looked at He Jingheng and said, "When he exchanged a concubine for a legitimate wife, the old ministers even advised him against it. Fortunately, it was rejected. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened."
Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing. The old man Shangnian could never give birth to a daughter like her.
"Master Xu, did you bring the imperial edict with you today?"
"That's right." He whispered, "The emperor has issued a death order to this old minister. This time, everyone in Dingguo Palace must be brought back to the capital."
