Chapter 227 Excitement(1/2)

When the atmosphere was tense, the Mon king said: "I also have a way."

Xue Qingyin: "Say."

"How about you just pretend that Princess Xuan is dead and you change your identity and marry me?" the King of the Meng clan said while examining her expression.

Xue Qingyin looked surprised: "Are you dizzy?"

King of the Meng Clan: "You don't want to?" His eyes changed slightly: "It shows that what you just said was not sincere at all."

Xue Qingyin will not be fooled by him.

She said coldly: "What do you want? Is this my skin?"

The Mon king said: "Of course it's more than that. I thought you had seen clearly these days, and I still like you..."

Before he could finish his words, Xue Qingyin interrupted: "You still like my identity."

The king of the Meng clan laughed: "Why do you say that? I have no idea what your natal family background is..."

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "Who said anything about natal family? Stealing other people's wives is exciting, isn't it?"

Qiao Teng: "Pfft."

The king of the Meng clan also froze.

"Especially the wife of the dignified King Xuan was snatched... What a shame this is for the Liang Dynasty, and what kind of pride it must be for you?" Xue Qingyin said slowly.

The king of the Meng clan stopped talking again.

Xue Qingyin asked him: "Are you really willing to give up on these?"

The king of the Meng clan sighed for an unknown number of times and said, "You know me."

Five words, the meaning is already clear.

Looking at Qiao Teng again, his face was flushed with pain. Under the huge impact, he was in a daze and could hardly breathe.

"This matter will be discussed later." The king of the Meng clan said solemnly, and the curtain came down for the time being.

In Yizhou City.

Qiao Xinyu walked with her tired body, her lips were chapped and peeling, and her clothes were loose and swaying lightly, making her look even more depressed.

But she was worried and didn't dare to relax at all.

Because several soldiers were following her closely.

"Have you found your home?" the soldier asked suspiciously.

Qiao Xinyu made up an excuse.

It was said that she was from Yizhou and married away from the capital. After she became pregnant, her husband took care of the child and returned to her parents' home angrily. Unexpectedly, she encountered bandits on the road and she was the only one left in the end.

When the soldiers saw that she was indeed pregnant and looked embarrassed and pitiful, they let her in.

But because he was afraid that she might be a spy sent by the Liang Dynasty, he pretended to be worried that she would be in trouble alone, and kept saying that he would personally send her back to her parents' home.

Qiao Xinyu was held here and could not retreat. She could only go to the city first.

She has a natal family in Yizhou.

Her parents are both here.

But how could she go to Jiedushi's mansion?

Qiao Xinyu's eyes were sore and tears fell down.

I have finally reached the place where my parents live, but I can't see them...

It's obviously very close...

Seeing her crying silently, the soldier couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said: "Why are you crying? We will accompany you to find it. It's not easy for you either..."

After all, she is a member of the lower class. Seeing that she is a weak woman, poorly dressed, pregnant, and still in such a state, it is inevitable that I will feel some sympathy in my heart.

If their mother-in-law was pregnant, how could she be willing to endure this hardship?

This woman married far away and moved to the capital, but her parents didn't move there with her. I guess it was because her mother's family's background wasn't strong enough.

"You can't remember which street they lived on originally. Then you still remember what there used to be near your door, right? What trees were planted? What shops were there further away?" the soldier asked.

Several of them were soldiers from Yizhou. They only assisted the Mon soldiers to defend the city because they were ordered by Sima Jiangnan of Yizhou.

They are more or less familiar with the people here.

There was a little sweat on Qiao Xinyu's forehead.

How to answer?

Suddenly, she remembered...

"My family used to have a pharmacy in Yizhou City..."

"Oh, which pharmacy? What's its name? You should have told me otherwise!"

"I don't know if my parents have moved away, or maybe my uncle has robbed the family property a long time ago. I don't know..." She smiled bitterly and said, "My maiden name is Xu."

"My surname is Xu, but I also open a pharmacy? I have never heard of this..."

"Why not? A few decades ago, there was a Xu Family Pharmacy in Yizhou, which was very famous! Later, when the family seemed to have become prosperous, they stopped running the pharmacy and switched to other businesses... Is this the Xu Family?"

Several soldiers chatted in low voices, then suddenly turned their heads to look at Qiao Xinyu and asked.

"If there is no second Xu family, then that's it." Qiao Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that tears covered her face.

"If you can send me there, I will ask my family to give you some money and reward you heavily!" Qiao Xinyu said with an even more excited expression.

Several soldiers looked at each other and felt happy in their hearts.

They have been led by Sima to a dead end.

Either the Mon people will be defeated, and they will lose their lives. Or the Mon people will be victorious, but it will not be their turn to receive the reward... It would be good to save some money for the family.

They died, but the family still had to live!

The soldiers suddenly became more enthusiastic and hurriedly searched the city to find out which direction the Xu family's gate opened.

"Xu family? There is one in the east of the city and one in the north of the city." The waiter at the wine shop replied.

He shrank his neck and looked at these soldiers with some fear.

"Which one is richer?" asked the soldier.

"The one in the north of the city. Although it has been in decline in the past two years, the family is still rich. Just go to Baihua Lane, where there are yellow horn trees growing nearby."

The soldier nodded and took Qiao Xinyu to the north of the city.

After a while, the guests sitting in the wine shop lifted the bamboo curtain and came out, asking the waiter: "Are they asking about the Xu family?"

The waiter turned around and responded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

The guest smiled: "We also have some business dealings with the Xu family. Aren't we afraid that those soldiers will cause trouble?"

The man nodded and said with lingering fear: "Yes, yes, those soldiers are very fierce."

"We have to report a message." The guest said and walked out.

"Master said, the Xu family is Princess Xuan's natal family, and we have to protect her." Not far after the guest walked out, he met several people.

Several people were chatting in low voices while walking towards Xu's house.

"Why don't you rescue the master first?"

"The master said there is no need to save him, he still has things to do."

"Is the food ready?"

"Get ready... I heard that King Wei was defeated and all the food and grass were flooded. Maybe they will point their fingers at us. Sigh."

They are all Qian Zixu’s people.

Qian Zixu was originally from a grassroots background, and his subordinates were naturally knowledgeable in all kinds of things.

Qian Zixu's business was done everywhere, and of course there were his people in Yizhou City.

That day, Qiao Xinyu arrived at Xu's house.

They then arrived near Xu's house and quietly touched the knife hidden in their waists.

The scabbard is cold.

Make them feel at ease.

This time the door of the Xu family was knocked open, and the Xu family was also shocked.

Although they are also called the Xu family, in reality they are just a side branch of the Xu Zhi family.

Xu Zhi's brothers moved to the capital early, and naturally only some side branches remained in their hometown.

Not long ago, they heard that Yizhou had become a fiefdom of King Xuan. And who was Princess Xuan? She was born to a girl from their Xu family!

Then how close this is...

When King Xuan arrives in Yizhou, won't they become "relatives" of His Highness King Xuan? From now on, they are not allowed to go sideways!
To be continued...
