Chapter 117

  The assassin was killed, and there were no longer any powerful witnesses.

  Fortunately, there was still a silver ticket on the killer's body given by his employer, which was at least some physical evidence.

  Xiao Feng felt a little sympathetic in her heart, but the idol still had to face Jiang Wenhai, who was known as Mo Ni, for a right and wrong showdown.

  This is probably one of the most tragic things in the world.

  Obviously, everyone had the same idea at first, but as they walked along, their companions inadvertently became enemies.

  Life has come to this, and all I can do is let out a long sigh.

  Little Phoenix Maiden, who had always adopted an evasive policy towards tragedy, promptly retreated to her small shop and devoted herself to diligently studying medical books on treating infertility as well as various unbelievable folk remedies.

  The young master is slightly bitter and forced!

  Because no matter what kind of medicine Little Phoenix Maiden concocts, he is always the only test subject, suffering in silence!

  Zhan Zhao returned to the small shop when the case was already over.

  He has come to realize that if his wife were to turn her back and walk away before the case is resolved, then eight or nine out of ten times, there would be some tragic elements involved.

  Some things she sees too clearly, but also because of this transparency, she is helpless.

  What can't be thought of is only eye-not-seeing-pure, when one doesn't know anything - self-deception is exactly what a wife does.

  "Mr. Jiang has passed away." Zhan Zhao said to his wife.

  Lu Xiaofeng's hand paused for a moment as he was practicing his calligraphy, then continued, saying calmly: "This outcome was predictable."

  The adult is in a bad mood.

  "Normal."

  "I will accompany the adults on a trip to Baima Temple."

  "Is Boss Bao going to reminisce about his past journey with his former colleagues?"

  Zhan Zhao didn't respond, sometimes Xiao Feng was too sharp and her words pierced people's hearts, making them feel pain, but they were indeed facts that left no room for rebuttal.

  "Zhan Zhao, don't worry too much, Bao Da will get through this ordeal because he is the blue sky above the people's heads."

  Zhan Zhao nodded firmly and said loudly: "I believe."

  "If you believe it, then stop making that cat face, or you'll scare your daughter in a moment."

  "Xiao Feng......" You're being too dramatic.

  Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him and said, "Am I exaggerating? Won't you let Xiaohe be the arbitrator?"

  Xiaohe said truthfully: "Brother-in-law, your expression is indeed not very good, Miss didn't exaggerate."

  Zhan Zhao: "......"

  "What? A pigeon?" Xiao He saw a snow-white carrier pigeon land on the stone table in the courtyard.

  Zhan Zhao went out and picked up the carrier pigeon, removed the message tube tied to its leg, and after a glance, his expression changed suddenly.

  He hastily turned around and entered the house, "Xiaofeng, I'm going back to Kaifeng Prefecture for a trip."

  "Halt." Lu Xiao Feng put down the brush in his hand and walked out from behind the desk, "What news is it?"

  "Brother Bai has arrived in Xiangyang and says he's found the King of Xiangyang..." Zhan Zhao stopped here.

  Lu Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, his face changed slightly, "Bai Yutang ran to Xiangyang?" That idiot Bai Xiao Wu, the Chongxiao Building in that place is his death spot! Is this related to the case of King Xiangyang?

  But she only knew that Chongxiao Building was Bai Yutang's burial ground, and had no idea about the detailed situation, what to do?

  If only I had told Bai Yutang at the beginning, I would have stayed far away from Xiangyang City for my whole life. However, if she had really said that, that stubborn and contrary guy might still have insisted on going anyway.

  Awesome!

  It seems that no matter what, Bai Yutang will go to Xiangyang, and this is an unalterable fact.

  This is the corrective force of history!

  The historical revisionism that emerges at this time is the most disgusting!

  "You go."

  Zhan Zhao nodded and turned around to leave.

  "Miss." Xiao He walked closer with some concern, Miss's face didn't look too good.

  "Let's go back to Tai Shi Fu." It seems that no matter what, she would have to make a trip to Xiangyang City anyway. She couldn't just do nothing and wait for the Jin Mao mouse to kill itself.

  Due to this unexpected news, Bao Zheng's original plan to visit the White Horse Temple was cancelled.

  An individual's emotions are too insignificant compared to national security.

  Bao Zheng did not go to report to the big BOSS after receiving the news, but instead went to Nanqing Palace first.

  It's better to ask the Eight Wise Kings first when it comes to royal matters.

  For this matter, Emperor Xian of Han was very serious and cautious, letting Bao Xin return first, and he himself would deliberate for a while before making a decision.

  Bao Zheng naturally returned to Kaifeng Prefecture.

  Little Phoenix didn't even have time to bid farewell to her family's noble cat, when the noble cat took a step ahead and left without saying goodbye. Lu Xiao Feng didn't need to ask to know that Zhan Xiao Mao had gone to Xiangyang.

  "Don't worry, Miss, nothing will happen to Wei."

  How can she not worry?

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart, Xiangyang was a dead place for Bai Yutang, and for that stinky cat, it might not be a tourist destination either, but equally full of danger.

  Anyone who wants to usurp the throne will never lack capable and extraordinary people around them, and their ruthlessness and decisiveness are not something ordinary people can achieve.

  A real man is not afraid of poison; a true gentleman does not care about quantity!

  "I won't worry, I trust Zhan Zhao's abilities." Gong Sun Ce and the others comforted her, and she didn't want them to be too worried either.

  Gongsun Ce said: "I just hope Miss is really at ease, so as not to worry about the guards."

  "Gongsun sir worries too much, since Zhan Zhao is not here, I won't stay for long either, I'll take my leave first."

  "Be careful on your way."

  "Uh-huh."

  After Lu Xiaofeng left, Bao Gong asked: "This prefecture seems to have some worries about Mr. Gong Sun."

  Gongsun Zhi nodded, then explained to Bao Zheng, "The lady from Xiangyang also knows about the matter, and at this time, Zhang Heng is not in Kaifeng Prefecture. With her abilities, she must have guessed one or two things. Now, the person who is actually in Xiangyang is Bai Wuxia, I'm worried that Lady Lu will go to Xiangyang."

  "Go to Xiangyang?"

  Gongsun Ce nodded, "Given Lu's relationship with Zhan Huwei as husband and wife, and her fraternal bond with Bai Wuxia, she will certainly not stand idly by while they face danger."

  "But she's just a housewife—"

  Gongsun Ce said: "However, Lu's young lady is not an ordinary woman from a respectable family."

  Bao Gong was speechless.

  "Gongsun Ce said again: 'Sir, you don't have to worry too much. Lu Niang's actions are self-reliant and she is clever and resourceful. This time it may not be a bad thing for Xu Hu and others.'"

  Bao Zheng nodded slowly.

  On the other hand, Lu Xiaofeng was invited away by someone from Nanqing Palace on his way back to Taishi Mansion.

  At this time, King Bajie came looking for himself?

  Lu Xiaofeng had some misgivings in his heart and felt that things were probably not simple.

  "Eighth Uncle." Seeing the Eighth Wise King, Little Phoenix Maiden made a polite bow and asked after his well-being.

  Sit.

  "Thank you, Eighth Uncle."

  At this time, they were in a flower hall of the South Qing Palace, but outside, there were guards from the Eighth Highness's personal guard, and the situation looked not so simple.

  No matter how she thought in her heart, Xiaofeng's face didn't reveal anything at all.

  The Eighth Sage King thought about it again in his heart before opening his mouth and saying: "I suppose you also know about the Xiangyang affair."

  "Yes."

  "The king's intention," said King Ba Xian, pausing for a moment, "is that you go to Xiangyang."

  "Me?"

  The Eighth Sage King nodded, "Others going would either make too much of a stir or risk being discovered, you going is very suitable."

  "Since Uncle Huang has said so, then I'll go and take a look."

  "The Eight Wise Kings said: 'You go first, I will follow later.'"

  "Emperor's uncle?" Are you going too?

  When the idol is gone, Xiangyang City will be bustling.

  What a great show!

  It's really all the sheng, dan, jing, mo and chou roles are on stage.

  "This matter is of great importance, I must go myself."

  The young lady then went ahead to clear the way for her uncle.

  "Settle down with your siblings for a while, then you can start your journey."

  "Good."

  "It's just right that your Eighth Imperial Aunt hasn't seen you for a long time, so today we'll have lunch at the South Clear Palace and chat with her."

  "Yes, it's just as well that my niece misses her imperial aunt."

  Then, Little Phoenix had a meal at Nanqing Palace before leaving.

  This trip to Xiangyang was also a difficult one for Lu Xiaofeng.

  His daughter was still breastfeeding, but this trip was fraught with danger, she couldn't let her daughter take risks lightly, so she had to leave her and Lu Ming in the capital.

  Xiaohe couldn't help but mutter as he packed his luggage, "Miss, Miss is still breastfeeding, can you really put your mind at ease?"

  "She will stay at the Taishi Mansion, and Mother and Father will take good care of her." Lu Xiaofeng tied up a package, "Xiaohe, if you're not at ease, why don't you also stay behind?"

  "No," Xiao He immediately refused, "The slave will follow the young lady, and there are Tai Shi and Madame to take care of her on this side. The young lady also needs someone to take care of her, only the slaves of Feng Si's house are not at ease."

  Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh and shake his head upon hearing this.

  "Miss, Master Ta invites you to the study."

  "Got it, I'll go right away."

  Is Emperor Taizong looking for her?

  Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to put down the things he was collecting and go see Tai Shifu first.

  "Dad, you're looking for me?" How is Pang Yu here too?

  "Sit down and talk."

  "Uh-huh."

  The eunuch hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let Pang Yu accompany you."

  "Father?" Xiangyang is a treacherous place, let Pang Yu go there, what if something goes wrong, wouldn't the kindness I showed him initially be all for nothing?

  "As a father, it's worrying." He had heard some rumors about the Xiangyang border affair, but since it involved royal matters, as a subject, he couldn't speak much, and it wasn't convenient to say more. Because of one careless word, it could be a fatal disaster.

  What is called thunder and rain are all your kindness, matters of life and death often change in an instant.

  "Pang Yu stayed in Beijing, and his daughter was finally at ease."

  "But—"

  "Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine, I promise I'll come back safely."

  "Sister, let me accompany you there, otherwise Father will be worried."

  But you're going to be in much greater danger than I am. Sister is really afraid of the corrective power of history, what if they want to correct your problems, this is the most deadly thing.

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "Pang Yu, let's put it this way. You answer me, how does your martial arts compare to Yan Dong?"

  "Sister, you know it already, so why ask? Of course I'm no match for him."

  "That's right, then what are you going with me? Are we gathering enough people to play mahjong?"

  "Sister—"

  "Yu'er, don't tease your brother anymore. Let him accompany you, just in case, and this old face of mine might also be of some use."

  Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the door of the study, walked over to Taishi's side and said in a low voice: "Father, forgive me for speaking directly, it's best if the Taishi Mansion doesn't get involved in this matter."

  Pang Taishi's eyes showed incomprehension.

  "It's enough for one daughter to enter the government. You're still good at taking shots from outside, in case there are any changes, you can respond accordingly, this is the safest strategy."

  Pang Taishi understood intuitively.

  "I promise I'll be back safely."

  "So you must be extra careful with everything." There were some things he didn't find convenient to say directly to his daughter, but she had already sensed them in her heart.

  Little Phoenix Maiden indeed had a number in her mind, it seems that the Xiangyang King really has taken action, and the Grand Master must have also received wind of this. However, matters concerning the imperial throne are like walking on thin ice for court officials, not daring to make any mistakes, lest they implicate their nine clans and relatives, and thus must be extremely cautious.

  People who are as selfless and public-spirited as idols are after all a minority, so they seem to be even more precious, and that's why they become the idol of the masses.

  Her father is definitely one of the majority of people, and overall he's just an ordinary person.
