In an instant, there were only Xie Jing Xing and Shen Miao left in the carriage.
"Heard that the Marquis of Lin An spoke out to help in court yesterday. Many thanks to Little Marquis." Shen Miao said.
Xie Ding helped Su Yu to impeach Shen Xin. On the surface it was an impeachment but in fact it was giving Shen Xin a way out. It was alright if others could not see it but Shen Miao believed that with Xie Jing Xing's skills as an old fox, it was impossible for him not to see it.
Sure enough, when her half true and half false words came out, Xie Jing Xing's lips hooked up into a smile and lazily leaned back as he loosened his arms, "It is the Marquis of Lin An's own idea and has nothing to do with me."
"Oh." Shen Miao looked at him and smiled, "Then Little Marquis came uninvited to my carriage. Is it not to hear my thanks?" She purposely emphasized the words' my carriage '. It was obvious that she was very angry with Xie Jing Xing for doing this kind of uninvited things.
Xie Jing Xing stared at her, "You intend to let Shen Xin retreat to the Northwest region? Luo family? "
Shen Miao's heart jumped and she looked at Xie Jing Xing without speaking.
She was thinking like this. Xie Jing Xing had given her a 'retreat' route but she did not want to passively retreat like this. She had not even played this game of chess in Ming Qi, so how could she lose the initiative now. Her ambition and her revenge had not even started and if she was to be suppressed, naturally it would not do.
It was not a big deal to have the military power confiscated. What Shen Xin's side valued the most was not the tiger tally that the Fu family thought, but their ability to lead troops into battle. To be able to bring out one Shen family's army, it did not mean that one could not bring out another Shen family's army. And in the currently confiscated military power, Shen Yuan's people had already mixed into the Shen family's army and that was also Fu Xiu Yi's people. It was too tiring to lead such an army and guard against people shooting arrows from the back at any time.
Unless one led another clean army. Starting over, the Shen family's military power was gone but Luo Xue Yan's maiden family, the Luo family still had it. It was just that the Luo family's military power was not as good as the Shen family's and the matter of defending the border was not good enough, thus it did not attract the attention of others.
Shen Miao had the idea of the Luo family. She wanted to turn the Luo family into another Shen family's army, a trump card that no one knew about. Wasn't the Fu family worried all day that Shen Xin would raise his army and rebel? She would show it to the Fu Family!
It was just that … this kind of secretive thought was actually exposed by Xie Jing Xing's sharp eyes. When her thoughts were exposed, the moment of panic made Shen Miao's face flash a trace of embarrassment.
If Xie Jing Xing knew of her thoughts … This person, the tragic hero who had left a thick and colourful stroke in the history of Ming Qi, what would he do? Threaten her? Tell on her? Or … kill her?
However, he probably wouldn't have such a chance. What kind of person was Shen Miao? She had experienced the most difficult times in her previous lifetime and even if she was momentarily shocked, she would quickly suppress the emotions in her heart. She thought that Xie Jing Xing was about to leave for the Northern Borderline and if this trip to the Northern Borderline was to follow the route of the previous lifetime, Xie Jing Xing would die. He would end up with a thousand arrows piercing his heart. The deadline of ten days was almost up. Fate was a hand that could flip the clouds and rain. Xie Jing Xing's hands and eyes were omnipotent. So what if his mind was treacherous? In the end, he would not be able to escape that ending.
Shen Miao looked up at Xie Jing Xing.
Xie Jing Xing was really good looking. In the previous lifetime when Shen Miao stayed in the Six Palaces, she had seen a lot of talented and handsome youths. Even Fu Xiu Yi, whom she had been pining for, did not have this kind of grace. Long eyebrows that slanted to the temples, a high nose bridge, thin lips that were slightly raised but very rosy. His smile always had a bit of evilness. His handsomeness was somewhat overbearing, with a clear outline that was hard and cold, but he had a pair of dark and bright peach blossom eyes. When he looked at people, he was affectionate but ruthless, giving an illusion of gentleness.
