"Ha, say it again. Yuchi Qingyan wants Sister Yi to be his Empress?" Pang Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Huzi took a few steps back vigilantly, afraid that he would be implicated.
Mu Jinghu nodded fearlessly.
"Yes, it's not convenient for me to follow the Imperial Palace. It's easy to expose my whereabouts. Otherwise, I would want to follow and protect her. You don't know, but when the new Emperor took over, he didn't even allow her to bring along her personal maidservants. At first, he didn't even allow her to bring a change of clothes. Your wife is injured, and he didn't even allow her to bring medicine. What do you think the new Emperor is doing? He's clearly seizing the opportunity to isolate your wife and make her his wife! "
Huzi took a few more steps back. Young Master Mu, I beg you! Can you not add fuel to the fire?
Pang Xiao sneered and squeezed out the words through his teeth. "The Yuchi family has a long history. He's going to inherit his father's legacy!"
Mu Jinghu found a stool to sit on and poured himself some water to drink.
Pang Xiao's knuckles turned white as he gripped the hilt of his sword, as if this was the only way to quell his anger.
She was a weak woman and was even injured. How could she fight against the oppression of imperial power?
If something really happened to her in the Imperial Palace …
Unfortunately, he was now the commander-in-chief of an army. Moreover, that old man Ning Wang still had some skills. They were locked in a fierce battle, and he couldn't leave the military camp without permission. Pang Xiao was really scratching his heart and liver at this moment. He wanted to protect his beloved woman, but he couldn't.
"Master, calm down. The most important thing now is to think of a solution." Huzi persuaded.
"Think of a solution?" Mu Jinghu put down the bowl and said seriously, "Actually, I think that your wife is qualified to be the Empress."
Pang Xiao stared coldly at Mu Jinghu.
Mu Jinghu didn't realize that his words were inappropriate. He used his fingers to analyze for Pang Xiao.
"Look, her family background isn't bad, her looks and talents aren't bad, and she's so smart. Her father is also a very good person. If you become his son-in-law, you'll definitely benefit a lot.
"Moreover, if she were to become the empress, she would be the mother of the nation. If she were to follow you, she would only be a consort.
"As the Empress, no one will step on her head and bully her. But as your Wangfei, when she comes to your Zhou Country, she will have to share your joys and sorrows.
"Your current status is also awkward. Who knows how many people want to scheme against you? Naturally, she will be implicated. Therefore, I feel that from her point of view, there is nothing wrong with being the empress. "
Huzi silently covered his face and quietly retreated to a corner of the tent.
As soon as he steadied himself, the square table in the middle of the tent was smashed by Pang Xiao's palm. The teapot and porcelain bowl fell to the ground and tea splashed all over Mu Jinghu's shoes.
"Sigh! What are you doing!? It's a pity that such a good table and the teapot and porcelain bowl are worth at least two strings of money. You're too wasteful. "
Mu Jinghu painfully picked up the two halves of the teapot and tried to put it back together.
The people patrolling outside the tent heard the commotion and came to inquire.
Huzi hurriedly went out and said with a smile, "Brothers, it's okay. Wang Ye is sparring with his brother."
"I see!" The northern men of the Tiger Army were all loyal and forthright. They knew that Pang Xiao liked to spar with his brothers, so they didn't think much of it.
In the tent, Pang Xiao had already lifted Mu Jinghu by the collar. "Rotten wood, what do you mean by this!"
Mu Jinghu pushed his hand away and said honestly, "I'm just speaking the truth. Actually, you're thinking the same in your heart, right? Otherwise, why are you feeling guilty? I think you're just a selfish fox. Once you've taken a fancy to a girl, you'll do anything to get her, regardless of whether she's willing or not. "
Pang Xiao's thoughts were exposed, and his expression became even uglier. He shook his hand and let go of Mu Jinghu's collar. He fiercely slammed his palm on a round-backed chair, and the chair shattered into pieces.
Mu Jinghu's heart ached for something. He squatted on the ground and said, "What are you doing! This is all bought with money! "
Pang Xiao was filled with anger. How could he care about these things?
Moreover, Mu Jinghu had indeed hit the nail on the head.
He had taken a fancy to Qin Yining, so he used every means to fight for her and steal her heart. He didn't even ask if she was willing to, and had already forcefully labeled her as his.
What if she wanted to be an empress?
Pang Xiao gritted his teeth and said after a while, "Huzi."
"Master." Huzi stepped forward and bowed.
"Go back with Young Master Mu and find a way to get a definite answer for me."
"Master, what answer do you want?" Huzi was puzzled.
"Marquis Anping sent Blockhead here to test my intentions. My intentions aren't the most important thing at this time. What's important is Sister Yi's intentions. If she's willing to be an empress and not willing to be my consort, how can I interfere with their affairs? Find a way to contact Master Zhong. His Zhaoyun Agency has a wide network of contacts. He must have a way to contact the palace. Ask Sister Yi if she's willing to be with me.
。”
"Master, don't doubt Fourth Miss. I think Fourth Miss is fond of you."
Pang Xiao smiled bitterly, "I'm not doubting her. I'm just afraid of delaying her. "
Pang Xiao knew his situation. To outsiders, he was Wang Ye, who had become sworn brothers with the Emperor of Zhou. He also had the military power of the Tiger Army in his hands, and he had limitless glory.
But in reality, he was also struggling in the Imperial Court of Zhou.
When the Northern Ji was destroyed, he was the one who led the charge. The Tiger Army was the one who killed and set fires. It was the officials of Northern Ji who now surrendered to Da Zhou who hated him from the bottom of their hearts. He took revenge for his father, and many people were widowed, which intensified the hatred of those people towards him.
The Northern Ji emperor was tyrannical, and the treasury had long been emptied. They didn't get much money from destroying Northern Ji. Back then, when the Emperor led his brothers to conquer the world, he boasted that he would reward them. Now that the Zhou Dynasty had been founded for two years and had a title, the reward money had not arrived yet. The brothers who had conquered the world together with him had complained a lot in secret. Now, there were people saying that the first person to charge into the capital of Beiji had looted the national treasury.
Weren't they implying that he had hidden some money?
That wasn't all. His Tiger Army, Xiao Yong, was better than the other generals, which naturally attracted the jealousy of the military officials.
Now that the emperor needed to pacify the world, he valued the military officials even more. This made the civil officials feel uncomfortable. Since he was the representative of the military officials, there was another layer of hatred.
Thinking about it carefully, he was a rough man with a group of people eyeing him covetously. He really didn't have any ability to be proud of …
In short, Pang Xiao felt inferior because of Mu Jinghu's words.
Huzi sighed, "Then I'll go and ask Master what he plans to do next."
