"Miss, I've finally found you."
In front of Xunmi knelt a man in coarse hemp clothes. He didn't look special. His skin was dark and his facial features were ordinary.
But his eyes were very bright, full of determination and unyielding. At this moment, they were overflowing with excitement and joy.
"Brother Sheng, get up." Xunmi bent down to help the man up. Huo Sheng, the deputy general of the Qi Army and the successor of Marquis Qi since young.
He and Xunmi were childhood sweethearts, but there were no sparks between them.
Xunmi's heart belonged to someone, and Huo Sheng had always put himself in the position of a protector. He felt that his life was given by Marquis Qi, and he had to repay Marquis Qi and Miss in the future.
To the Qi Family, to be precise, he was loyal to Marquis Qi and Xunmi. In the plot, he knew the truth and directly led the Qi Army out of Sui.
He organized a rebel army and wanted to overthrow the Emperor, but was defeated by the Eighth Prince.
In order to warn the rebels who still wanted to stir up trouble, he was hung at the city gate for five days and five nights.
Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince didn't know that he didn't have the last laugh. It was really satisfying to work for someone else.
"Miss, it's great that you're fine. Don't worry, I'll avenge Marquis Qi."
Huo Sheng was a relatively dull person, but in front of his Miss, he was also dry. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
Xunmi sat him down and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Brother Sheng, I'll take revenge myself. But the Qi Army has become a hot commodity that everyone wants to fight for. Brother Sheng, what's the matter?"
Huo Sheng was very touched by her caring tone. Miss didn't alienate him because of these things. He was very happy and quickly replied.
"Those things are not enough. If you want the Qi Army, you have to see if we're willing."
"I originally planned to leave with the Qi Army. When we failed to rob the execution ground, I knew that there was no place for us. Later, I received news that you're not dead, so I let them hide for the time being."
In fact, the Qi Army didn't have many people, only five thousand. But these five thousand people were comparable to an army of one hundred thousand.
Who wouldn't want this kind of strength, especially in the competition for the throne?
"Thank you for your hard work, Big Brother Sheng. However, Big Brother Sheng, you don't have to leave. I've found a powerful backer for Qi Jiajun."
"With him as the master of the Qi Family Army, I can rest assured. Father and grandfather should be happy too."
"As for that bastard in that position, sooner or later, I'll chop off his head and offer it to my parents."
Slap. As he spoke, the teacup in his hand shattered. The warm tea soaked her palm. XunMi's expression didn't change as she threw away the broken pieces and took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean.
His lowered eyebrows had a sense of tranquility, and his peaceful face was even more pleasing to the eye.
But it was this kind of person who looked so beautiful in every aspect that said such ruthless words.
No matter how fast he restrained himself, the blood-red color in his eyes and the murderous aura that escaped from him surprised Huo Sheng. Then, he felt gratified.
The young miss had grown up and was no longer a soft-hearted child. Only such a young miss could survive in such a difficult situation.
Although in the past, he could still protect her and prevent her from getting hurt, but in the end, it was different.
"Young miss, I understand. Then I'll bring the Qi Family Army and wait for young miss' arrival."
He knelt on the ground again and spoke respectfully, expressing his attitude. The Qi Family Army would always be loyal to the Zhong Marquis Fu and would only be loyal to the Zhong Marquis Fu.
No matter what the master of the Zhong Marquis Fu said, they would do as he said.
Xunmi handed some things to Huo Sheng and returned home. She had achieved her goal today and didn't need to come out for the next few days.
Just as she went downstairs, her footsteps paused.
"Hey, official, what are you doing? Why did they say that you didn't capture the Zhong Marquis Fu and instead captured me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
The rough man who was holding the wine jug was running around the hall while shouting at the yamen runners who were chasing after him.
It immediately attracted the agreement of some people who were watching the show. "Hahaha, who told you to be so unsightly that all the officials specifically captured you."
"Speaking of which, this emperor is really something. It's such a small matter and he actually issued an order to kill. He's really been at ease for too long. He forgot that if it wasn't for the Qi Family Army, how could he sit on the throne so firmly?"
"That's right, getting rid of the donkey after it leaves the millstone. Sooner or later, there will be a change of dynasty. Just watch."
"Audacious. You dare to talk about the Emperor? Come, capture them all." The leading official fiercely slammed the large blade in his hand on the table and angrily said with his neck straightened.
The yamen runners who were originally chasing after the rough man all foolishly went to capture the two men who were sitting at the same table with the rough man.
The rough man who was free shouted at the top of his lungs: "The emperor is heartless and treats us like straw dogs. If he wants to kill us, he will kill us. Such a big Zhong Marquis Fu, he will also behead us."
"Who knows when it will be the similarly loyal General Luo or the Prime Minister who serves the country and the people."
The leading official's anger was not light. The group of yamen runners were also fooled by these people.
It was unknown whether it was because they felt that it was enough or because they were afraid. The three people directly jumped out of the wide open window and disappeared into the crowd.
The group of yamen runners who had been fooled until they were weak could only watch as they disappeared.
Xunmi's eyes under the veil flashed with a strange light. That person really knew how to use the opportunity.
This time, the yamen runners in the capital couldn't even catch a few ordinary men. Heh … a new round of cleansing was about to begin. She was really looking forward to it.
But were those people really ordinary men? Xunmi smiled with an unfathomable expression and left the restaurant.
It was still that desolate palace. The smell of decaying vegetation floated everywhere.
The three people who had caused trouble before were respectfully reporting to a man wearing a black brocade robe whose face couldn't be seen clearly.
"Master, almost everyone in the capital now knows the ins and outs of the matter. The order given by the muddle-headed Emperor just now was also messed up by us."
The man nodded with satisfaction. His fingers played with the jade pendant hanging by his side. "It's time for the Eighth Prince to let everyone get to know each other. Go."
"Yes, Master." The three people quickly left. Once they left the palace, their appearance immediately changed.
When they appeared on the street again, it was completely different from before. They directly changed their faces.
Xunmi didn't know about the man's actions. She was seriously thinking about a problem at this moment.
"Luo Kai, tell me. Should I cooperate with your master or start my own business and directly bombard the Sui Empire when the time comes?"
Luo Kai, who had just returned and was caught before he even had time to change into his court attire, was completely dumbfounded and spoke with fear and trepidation.
"Eldest … Eldest … Eldest Miss, y-y-you … Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Luo Kai felt that his strong heart would sooner or later be scared into a glass brittle by this master.
