"Your Highness, the fire has been put out. This matter has alarmed the officials of the Tang Empire. The Minister of Honglu Temple is waiting for you in the main hall!"
Honglu Temple, in the courtyard where the Wo Nation diplomatic mission was staying.
"Has the cause of the fire been determined? Were there any casualties? "
The Mountain Back Big Brother King asked with a solemn expression.
They were staying in the Honglu Temple's posthouse. Now that such a thing had happened, if there was no evidence to prove that an outsider had set the fire, they would be responsible for the fire. At that time, the compensation for the repair of the house would be a small matter, but losing face as the Wo Nation's Crown Prince would be a big deal!
"Your Highness, it is suspected that someone lit the candlestick in the woodshed. After that, the candlestick collapsed and ignited the firewood in the woodshed, causing the fire!"
"Candlestick? Why would there be a candlestick in the woodshed? And who would light the candlestick in the woodshed at this time? "
The Mountain Back Big Brother King asked curiously.
The soldier bowed and said,
"We found a charred corpse in the woodshed. The face of the corpse could no longer be seen, but we can be sure that the person who was burned to death was a man! And the person who was imprisoned in the woodshed was Princess Mingde. According to the confession of the guards outside the woodshed, Lady Yoko went to the woodshed at around seven o 'clock and sent all the guards away! After that … after that, the woodshed caught fire! "
"Yoko Ono! Why did she go to the woodshed? "
The Mountain Back Big Brother King frowned and then thought of something. His expression was ugly as he said, "Hmph! The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear! Let's not talk about him for now. You guys go find me, Xiamu. I'll go see the Minister of Honglu Temple! "
…
"You're saying that the Wo Nation diplomatic mission sent Li Zexuan a Wo Nation woman?"
In the Sweet Dew Hall, Li Er frowned and asked after listening to Zhao Song's report.
"Indeed! But in the evening, the Marquis of Yong 'an had already sent the woman back to the Wo Nation diplomatic mission! "
Zhao Song bowed and replied.
"Hmph! This Wo Nation envoy is really restless. He really has hidden ambitions! I shouldn't have allowed them to stay in Chang 'an for half a year! "
Li Er snorted coldly. Although he was very satisfied with Li Zexuan's action of sending the Nihon woman back, he was very angry that the Big Brother King of Mountain Back had so blatantly bribed an important official of the Empire with his beauty, and the person he bribed was a key figure like Li Zexuan.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, a few months ago, the Wo envoys visited Yanhuang College under the leadership of the King of Jiangxia. At that time, the Marquis of Yong 'an only allowed them to sit in on the classes of the Economics Department. They were forbidden from entering the classrooms of the other departments! Therefore, this old servant reckons that the reason why the Mountain Back Elder Brother gave the Marquis Yong 'an a beauty is probably because he's plotting to obtain knowledge from the other departments of Yanhuang College! "
Zhao Song tried to analyze the situation.
His relationship with Li Zexuan was relatively good. In addition, Li Er was especially concerned about Yanhuang College. Therefore, he deliberately asked people to collect more information in this regard. That was why he could analyze it so clearly and logically now!
Li Er glared and said angrily, "A small country dares to covet the secrets of the Tang Empire. They really don't know what's good for them!"
Of course, no one dared to answer Li Er's words. The hall fell into silence for a while. After a while, Li Er's eyebrows relaxed and he smiled.
"But fortunately, Li Zexuan is also a smart guy. Yesterday, he sent someone to deliver a memorial to me, saying that he wants to strengthen the management of confidentiality in the College. For this purpose, he also formulated an extremely detailed 'Yanhuang College Confidentiality Regulation'. Although I haven't read ten thousand books in my life, I have at least read a thousand. However, this is the first time I've heard of this' Confidentiality Regulation '!
In this' Confidentiality Regulation ', there are considerations in all aspects. Moreover, the management methods in it are quite novel and reasonable. With a little modification, it can be used in the military camp! Heh! This guy's head is full of ideas. Handing Yanhuang College over to him is the right choice! "
"That's because Your Majesty has a good eye for talent! The Marquis of Yong 'an could rise from a merchant's son to his current position because Your Majesty cherishes talent! The Tang Empire will definitely prosper in Your Majesty's hands! "
Zhao Song was all smiles as he flattered Li Eryi, which made Li Eryi very happy!
At this moment, a chamberlain came in from outside the hall. The chamberlain hurriedly ran to Li Er's side and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the post house where the Japanese envoys are staying at the Honglu Temple has caught fire! It burned down a woodshed and a Japanese envoy named Yoko Ono was burned to death! "
The joy on Li Er's face instantly disappeared. He asked, "Did someone deliberately set the fire?"
"Your Majesty, according to Marquis Wu's investigation, the fire was caused by a candlestick in the woodshed falling to the ground! As for whether or not someone deliberately set the fire, the people of Marquis Government have yet to come to a conclusion! "
The chamberlain bowed.
Li Er frowned and did not say anything. After a while, he suddenly asked, "There was a woman in the Japanese envoys. Was she still in the Japanese envoys after the fire?"
The chamberlain suddenly looked troubled. After thinking about it, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know …"
He was just a messenger. How would he know if there was a woman in the Japanese envoys?
"Hmph! Then why don't you send someone to investigate? "
Li Er's face darkened as he said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The chamberlain shuddered and quickly left the hall.
Zhao Song guessed what Li Er was thinking. He wanted to help Li Zexuan explain, but he felt that it was inappropriate. After hesitating for a long time, he did not say anything in the end.
Half an hour later, the chamberlain ran back and bowed to Li Er. "Your Majesty, there is no woman in the Japanese envoys!"
"That's enough! You can leave now! "
Li Er's face changed. He waved his hand and dismissed the chamberlain. Then, Li Er looked at Zhao Song and said,
"After tomorrow morning's court, tell Li Zexuan to come to Ganlu Hall to see me!"
After saying this, Li Er waved his sleeves and left.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Song cupped his hands and answered.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. "Marquis Yong 'an, Marquis Yong' an, how can you be so muddle-headed in this matter? Sure enough, lust is accompanied by a knife! "
Yes, he and Li Er both thought that the fire in Honglu Temple tonight was set by Li Zexuan. His purpose was to secretly take the Japanese woman back!
…
"Oh! Where is this? You … Don't come over! I recognize you. You are the guard of Marquis Yong 'an! "
In the guest room of the Li Mansion in Yongle Lane.
Pang Feiji changed out of his night clothes and came over to unseal Xiamu's acupoints. Xiamu immediately crossed her arms and moved her body into the bed. She looked at Pang Feiji with a vigilant face and said.
Seeing this, Pang Feiji could not help but say, "Miss Xiamu, if I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it long ago. You would not be able to stop me. Since you know that I am Marquis's guard, then you should know that I will not harm you! Otherwise, you would not be here now! "
Su Me Summer Eye had just been violated by Yoko Ono a few minutes ago. Her previous reaction was only a natural reaction after a moment of panic. Now that she heard Pang Feiji's words, she understood the current situation. Therefore, she wasn't as agitated as before. She stood up from the bed and bowed to Pang Feiji.
"Thank you General for saving me. Xiamu is extremely grateful! I wonder if it was Marquis who asked you to save Xiamu? "
After coming to the Tang Empire, she had heard of Li Zexuan's deeds. If she were to use four words to describe Li Zexuan, it could only be "young and promising". If she were to use eight words to describe him, it would be "young and promising, high position and power"!
She knew that if she wanted to change her fate, she could only find a backer that her brother could not afford to offend. And the person she was sent to this time, Li Zexuan, was a very good backer!
For this, she even planned to use the charm techniques she learned from Nihon to charm Li Zexuan. But when she first met Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan directly and mercilessly rejected her. She did not use any of the charm techniques she prepared.
Now that Pang Feiji had saved her, a glimmer of hope ignited in Xiamu's heart!
"I already told you just now that Marquis did not send me to save you. I just could not bear to see you go back to Nihon to be humiliated, so I saved you! Marquis's heart is with the country. No matter what, he will not marry a foreign woman! "
Pang Feiji said expressionlessly.
Su My Xia Mu's face turned pale. She bit her lips as tears unconsciously flowed from her eyes. She muttered: "Since the Marquis of Yong 'an is not willing to take me in, then why did you save me? Even if I came out, I would be caught by them sooner or later! Boohoo … "
It was the first time Pang Feiji saw a girl cry, and such a beautiful girl at that. When Xiamu cried, the arrogance on Brother Chicken's face disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with an uneasy and flustered expression. He said anxiously,
"Miss Xiamu, although my Marquis is not willing to take you in, it does not mean that you will be caught by those people! You still have other options! "
"Other options? What options do I have? "
Xiamu raised her head and asked.
There was a trace of crying in her voice, and her tear-stained face was really pitiful.
Pang Feiji hurriedly shifted his gaze away and said, "Now, you have two choices. The first is that I will take you out of the city after daybreak, and you will go to another place and find another way to survive. The second choice is to follow me, Pang Feiji, back home and live a good life. From today onwards, you are my woman and also a citizen of the Great Tang. Those people will not dare to touch you again!"
"Ah ~? You … you … "
Xiamu's eyes widened. She never thought that Pang Feiji would want to marry her. She was just about to refuse, but then she remembered that she had no skills. Even if she went to a place where the Nihon delegation could not find her, what would she do to make a living? Moreover, she was a beautiful and helpless woman. It was inevitable that she would meet a beast like Yoko Ono in a strange place. Therefore, the first option was definitely not feasible!
However, when she thought of the second option, Pang Feiji stood up at the critical moment and saved her from the clutches of the devil, her heart wavered a little.
"But … but I will become a criminal wanted by the Nihon. With your status, I will only bring you trouble. You can't protect me!"
After hesitating for a long time, Xiamu said.
After all, in her eyes, Pang Feiji was just a guard!
"Hey! Miss Xiamu, don't underestimate me. As long as you become my woman, I, Pang Feiji, swear to God that I will never be bullied like today! If your Japanese envoys want to capture you, they'll have to ask for my permission first! Moreover, I have not married yet. If you become my woman, I promise to treat you well for the rest of your life! "
Pang Feiji patted his chest and promised.
Xiamu looked at Pang Feiji's face, which was not handsome but full of determination. After a long time, she said softly, "Okay! Xiamu is willing to serve you for the rest of my life! "
